WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Executive and the Company are parties to that certain Employment Agreement dated August 1, 2007 (the “Employment Agreement”); and

In addition, other than a continuation of Company-paid health insurance for up to one (1) year, Executive will not be entitled to receive any other post-termination payments or severance following such resignation. Any cash payments pursuant to Sections 8(e)(i)(A), (B) and (D) due under this Section 8(e) shall be payable in a lump sum within ninety (90) days of the Termination Date, provided that payment occurs no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the Termination Date falls.

2. Conflicts. In the event there is a conflict between the terms of the Employment Agreement and the terms of this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall control.
