                 Re: Amendment to Executive Retention Agreement

Dear Steve,

This letter agreement serves to amend the Executive Retention Agreement dated as
of March 7, 2002, by and between you and PolyMedica Corporation (the "Company").

1.       Section 2 Term of Agreement. The definition of "Term" is hereby amended
as follows:

                  "'Term' shall mean the period commencing as of the Effective
         Date and continuing in effect through August 31, 2004; provided,
         however, that commencing on September 1, 2004 and each September 1
         thereafter, the Term shall be automatically extended for one additional
         year unless, not later than 90 days prior to the scheduled expiration
         of the Term (or any extension thereof), the Company shall have given
         the Executive written notice that the Term will not be extended."

2.       Section 4.2(a)(i)(2) Compensation is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following in lieu thereof:

                 "(2) the amount equal to (A) two multiplied by (B) the sum of
         (x) the Executive's highest annual base salary during the three-year
         period prior to the Change in Control Date and (y) the Executive's
         highest annual bonus during the three-year period prior to the Change
         in Control Date."

If the foregoing is acceptable to you, please indicate your agreement by signing
a copy of this letter agreement and returning it to the undersigned.

                                             Very truly yours,

____________

Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges. 

____________

PER CURIAM.
In this action seeking to overturn an adverse arbitration decision regarding

domain names, Robert Rutz appeals the district court’s dismissal of his claims. Upon

1

careful de novo review, see Levy v. Ohl, 477 F.3d 988, 991 (8th Cir. 2007) (Fed. R.

Civ. P. 12(b)(6) dismissal is reviewed de novo), we agree with the district court that

Rutz failed to state a claim under 15 U.S.C. § 1114(2)(D)(v), because his own

complaint allegations precluded a finding that his relevant conduct was not unlawful

under the Lanham Act. See 15 U.S.C. § 1114(2)(D)(v) (domain-name registrant

whose domain name has been, inter alia, transferred under implementation of

registrar’s reasonable policy prohibiting registration of domain name that isidentical

to, confusingly similar to, or dilutive of another’s mark may, upon notice to mark

owner, file civil action to establish that registrant’s domain-name registration or use

was not unlawful under Lanham Act). We further agree that Rutz failed to state a

claim under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). See

Crest Constr. II, Inc. v. Doe, 660 F.3d 346, 353 (8th Cir. 2011) (RICO claim requires

plaintiff to show conduct of enterprise through pattern of racketeering activity); see

also 18 U.S.C. § 1961(1) (defining “racketeering activity”). Finally, we agree that

he failed to state either a contract claim or a tort claim. See Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556

U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as

true, to state claimto relief that is plausible on its face); Stone v. Harry, 364 F.3d 912,

914 (8thCir. 2004) (although pro se complaints are to be construed liberally, they still

must allege sufficient facts to support claims advanced). We thus affirm. See 8th Cir.

Re:      Modification of Terms of Employment ("Modification")


Dear Steve:

The purpose of this letter agreement is to modify and amend the terms of your
employment with Ugly Duckling Corporation as evidenced by the letter agreement
from me, dated August 6, 1997, re Terms of Employment ("Employment Agreement").

The "Change of Control" provisions of your Employment Agreement presently
states, in part, that:

      "For purposes of this letter, change of control shall be defined by the
      [Ugly Duckling Long Term Incentive Plan] but shall include the removal
      and/or resignation of Ernest C. Garcia II as the Chairman of the Board of
      Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Ugly Duckling."

It is my understanding that you have agreed to modify and amend the preceding
provision to allow Greg Sullivan to serve as Chief Executive Officer of Ugly
Duckling, without triggering any possible Change of Control event under your
Employment Agreement. Thus, the last sentence of the Change of Control
provisions of your Employment Agreement is replaced with the following sentence:

      "For purposes of this letter, change of control shall be defined by the
      Plan but shall include the (1) removal and/or resignation of Ernest C.
      Garcia II as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ugly Duckling, or
      (2) removal and/or resignation of (i) Mr. Garcia as the Chief Executive
      Officer of Ugly Duckling, without Gregory B. Sullivan serving as Mr.
      Garcia's replacement as Chief Executive Officer or (ii) Mr. Sullivan as
      the Chief Executive Officer of Ugly Duckling, without Mr. Garcia serving
      as Mr. Sullivan's replacement as Chief Executive Officer."

This Modification, together with the Employment Agreement, embodies the entire
agreement and understanding between Ugly Duckling and you and supersedes all
prior or contemporaneous agreements and understanding between us, verbal or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

If this Modification is consistent with your understanding and it is acceptable
to you, then please acknowledge your acceptance by signing this letter and
returning it to me. If you have any questions or comments regarding the above,
please contact Greg Sullivan or me.

Very truly yours,
