“; and” and adding a new subsection (ii)(d), as follows:

“(d) If, following such Involuntary Termination, Executive chooses to relocate
his residence and family from Orange County California, the Company shall
reimburse Executive for any loss (defined as the amount by which the original
purchase price paid by the Executive for the principal residence (not including
any post-purchase improvements or expenses), exceeds the net proceeds to
Executive in a bona fide sale (i.e., the sales price less any reasonable and
customary brokerage commissions, fees and closing costs)) incurred by Executive
in the sale of Executive’s principal residence in Orange County, California,
provided such sale enters escrow within the two year period beginning on July 1,
2010. In the event of any dispute regarding the sales price received by
Executive upon the sale of the principal residence, the sales price shall be
determined as the higher of (A) the actual sales price, or (B) the average of
two independent appraisals of the principal residence (one appraiser selected by
Executive and one by the Company, each of whom is either (i) an independent
appraiser currently certified as a member of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers (with an SRA designation) and at least five (5) years’

of the Executive’s principal residence as of the date of execution of the sales
contract. Notwithstanding the prior provision, if the actual sales price under
section (A) is lower than, but within 10% of the average of the two independent

utilized for purposes of this provision. The Company will bear the costs of such
appraisals. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(ii)(d),
the Company shall only be obligated to reimburse Executive for any loss
attributable to a general decline in residential property prices in the vicinity
of the property, and not for losses attributable to other non-market specific
property items including, without limitation, title defects, condition of the
property or natural disasters. Any reimbursement provided under this Section
shall be subject to the Section 409A and tax provisions applicable to moving
