(the “Quarterly Bonus”) for each quarter during the fiscal year commencing

if the Company generates during such quarter an amount of cash from operations,
less amounts paid under the Company’s bonus plan for the fiscal year ended

previously under its credit agreement (the “Minimum Quarterly Cash Generation”),
as evidenced by the Company’s publicly reported financial statements,

entitled to a pro-rata portion of the Performance Bonus for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2014 based on the level of attainment of the applicable
operating performance goals at the time of termination, payable within thirty
(30) days after the effective date of such termination; provided, however, if
there is a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) prior to June 30, 2014,
then the Executive shall be entitled to (i) a Quarterly Bonus in the amount of
$100,000 for each quarter ending subsequent to the Change in Control, payable on
the last business day of each applicable quarter, and (ii) the Annual Bonus,

after the effective date of such termination.

which were added under the February 29, 2012 amendment, are hereby clarified in
part and amended in part to read in their entirety as follows:

In the event of a Change in Control on or prior to June 30, 2014, then the
Executive may within the thirty (30) days following the Change in Control
terminate his employment by giving the Company (or the successor in interest)
ninety (90) days advance written notice. In such event, or, if during such
period the Company (or the successor in interest) terminates the Executive’s
employment without Cause, Section 3.5(a) shall have no further force or effect
and, subject to Section 3.10, the Executive shall be entitled to a payment of
$1,000,000 in a lump sum within thirty (30) days following the date of
