2018, subject to and conditioned upon the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”);

WHEREAS, the Closing is not expected to occur on or before November 30, 2018;
and

Closing, unless Executive’s employment with the Company terminates earlier,
Executive’s last day of employment with the Company will be on the date of the
Closing (the “Closing Date”).”

2.    Section 2(a) of the Agreement is amended effective as of the Effective
Date to replace “November 30, 2018,” with “the Closing Date”.

3.    This Amendment may be executed in one or more facsimile, electronic or
original counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and both of
which together shall constitute the same instrument.

4.    All terms and provisions of the Agreement not amended hereby, either
