 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set
forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Executive hereby amend the Employment Agreement as follows, effective as of the date first above written:

 1. Section 4 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 

“4. ANNUAL BONUS. In addition to the base salary set forth above, during the Term, you will be eligible
to participate in the Company’s incentive bonus plan applicable to similarly situated executives of the Company. The amount of your annual bonus will be based on the attainment of performance criteria established and evaluated by the Company in
accordance with the terms of such bonus plan as in effect from time to time, provided that, subject to the terms of such bonus plan and attainment of performance criteria established by the Company, your target and maximum annual bonus shall be 100%
and 150%, respectively, of your base salary actually paid for such year. Any annual bonus that becomes payable to you is intended to satisfy the short-term deferral exemption under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and shall be made
not later than the last day of the applicable two and one-half (2 1/2) month “short-term deferral period” with respect to such annual bonus, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).” 

2. This Third Amendment shall be and is hereby incorporated in and forms a part of the Employment Agreement.
