A.                                    Colt and Executive have entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of October 4, 2010 (the “Agreement”), which remains in full force and effect as of the date hereof.

 

B.                                    Colt and Executive wish to amend the Agreement in the manner described herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, Colt and the Executive do hereby agree as follows.

 

1.                                      Unless otherwise stated, all defined terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall have the same meaning herein as they do in the Agreement.

 

2.                                      Paragraph 2(d) of the Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms through and including March 31, 2013.
