date of termination occurs.”

6.      Amendment to Section 11 of the Agreement. Section 11 of the Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting the final two sentences thereof, such that Section 11

subsequent written agreement of the Employee and the Company. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Employee, the
Employee’s heirs, executors, administrators, beneficiaries, and assigns and to
the benefit of the Company and its successors. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein shall prevent or interfere with the
ability of the Company to terminate the employment of the Employee prior to a
Change in Control nor be construed to entitle Employee to be continued in his
employment prior to a Change in Control and this Agreement shall terminate if
Employee or the Company terminates Employee’s employment prior to a Change in
Control. Similarly, nothing herein shall prevent the Employee from retiring
under any of the Company’s retirement plans and receiving the corresponding
benefits thereunder consistent with the treatment of other Company employees.”

7.      Limited Effect. Except as specifically amended hereby, the terms and
provisions of the Agreement shall continue and remain in full force and effect
and the valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto in accordance with
its terms. All references in the Agreement (and in any other agreements,
