“Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the PIC determines in its review of the 2014 performance of the Shareholders that certain Shares shall remain Unvested Performance Shares, then such Shares are subject to purchase by the Company pursuant to Article 8 below.” 
(b) Article 8 shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“ARTICLE 8.  COMPANY OPTION TO PURCHASE UNVESTED SHARES OWNED BY AN EMPLOYEE UPON CERTAIN EVENTS
8.1.    Company Purchase Option.  In compliance with Section 6.4.4, the Company shall have the option to purchase all or a portion of the Unvested Shares (the “DDR Shares”) owned by each Employee (each a “DDR Selling Shareholder”) (a) on or after February 21, 2015 or (b) earlier, on the date the DDR Selling Shareholder’s employment is terminated for any reason other than death or Disability.  The Company may exercise its option with respect to the DDR Shares by written notice given to the DDR Selling Shareholder or to his Personal Representative.  The Company will pay the purchase price set forth in Section 8.2 to the DDR Selling Shareholder or to his Personal Representative upon the payment terms set forth in Section 8.3.
8.2.    Purchase Price.  The purchase price for the DDR Shares will be the lesser of (i) the cost for such shares and (ii) the fair market value of such shares, as determined in the sole discretion of the Board.  
8.3.    Terms of Payment.  The Company will pay the purchase price for the DDR Shares to the DDR Selling Shareholder (i) in cash at the closing or (ii) over 12 payments, on each of the next 12 Payment Dates, beginning on the next Payment Date after the closing of the sale.  In addition, if the Company elects to pay based on (ii) above, each such payment will include an amount of interest equal to the Stated Rate (prorated for the time the unpaid purchase amount remains unpaid) on the unpaid purchase price.  Any sale contemplated by this Section 8.3 shall be pursuant to a purchase agreement reasonably satisfactory to the parties.  
8.4.    The Closing.  The closing with respect to any purchase and sale of Shares pursuant to this Article 8 shall be in accordance with Article 14.”

(b)     Except as expressly amended hereby, the terms and conditions of the Shareholder Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed, and shall continue in full force and effect.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms set forth herein and the terms of the Shareholder Agreement, the terms contained in this Amendment shall control.  
(c)    This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws and decisions of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law rules applied in such State. 
(d)     This Amendment constitutes the entire understanding among the parties hereto.  No waiver or modification of the provisions of this Amendment shall be valid unless it is in writing and executed pursuant to Section 22.2 of the Shareholder Agreement and then, only to the extent therein set forth.
(e)    This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement binding on the Shareholders.
