This Amendment amends the Second Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and Stallings entered into on September 28, 2009, as amended.


 


In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:


 


1.           Amendment to Exhibit A. Exhibit A attached to the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following immediately after the section entitled “ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE FOR FISCAL 2011”:


 


“ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE FOR FISCAL 2012


 


You shall have the opportunity to earn an Annual Cash Incentive for Fiscal 2012 targeted to equal 100% of your annual base salary for Fiscal 2012 based on the Company’s and your personal performance during Fiscal 2012 (the “Target Annual Cash Incentive for 2012”).  The Company, through the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, retains the right to adjust your Annual Cash Incentive plan at any time as business circumstances or other factors reasonably dictate.


 


With respect to the Annual Cash Incentive for Fiscal 2012, the Compensation Committee will determine the payout of this amount based on a combination of 50% payout on satisfaction of item 1 of the Company objectives relating to Company revenue (the “Company Revenue Bonus for 2012”) and 50% payout on item 2 of the Company objectives relating to Company EBITDA (the “Company EBITDA Bonus for 2012”), as provided below:
