 (d) Section 4(b)(v) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows: 

“any Annual Bonus for any preceding fiscal year which, as of the Termination Date, has not been paid, and which would have been paid but

 (e) Section 4(b)(vi) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows: 

“a pro-rata portion of the Annual Bonus Executive would have earned for the performance year in
which the Termination Date occurs based on actual performance, with such pro-rata portion determined based on the quotient determined by dividing the number of days between the beginning of the performance
period in which such termination occurs and the Termination Date, divided by 365 (the “Pro-Rata Annual Bonus”), which amount shall be paid at such time annual bonuses are paid to other senior
executives of the Company;” 
 (f) Section 4(b)(vii) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

dividing the number of days between the Termination Date and the conclusion of the performance period in which such termination occurs, divided by 365 (the “Pro-Rata Target Bonus”), and
(y) a pro-rata portion of the Annual Bonus for any performance year remaining during the Employment Period that begins following the Termination Date based on target performance, with such pro-rata portion determined based on the quotient determined by dividing the number of days between the beginning of the performance year and the conclusion of the Term, divided by 365 (the “Pro-Rata Remaining Bonus”), payable on the first regularly scheduled payroll period following the Termination Date;” 

3. Entire Agreement. This Amendment No. 1 shall only serve to amend and modify the Agreement to the extent specifically provided
