Indenture on or after the date hereof; provided that the provisions of this Article 1 shall not apply to any additional Securities issued under the Indenture on or after the date hereof that bear the same CUSIP number and/or ISIN as any
Securities issued under the Indenture the initial issuance of which occurred prior to the date hereof. 
 Section 1.02.

“Covenant Breach,” with respect to Securities of any series wherever used herein, means any of the following
events which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Covenant Breach and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any
order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), except as may be otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.03 for any Securities of any series:

there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected thereby, a written
notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder. Solely for purposes of this definition, Securities issued on or after January 13, 2017 shall be

January 13, 2017; or 
 (b) any other Covenant Breach provided pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to the

interests (excluding ownership interests entitled to voting power only by reason of the happening of any contingency) shall at the time be owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer or by one or more other Subsidiaries, or by the Issuer and one or
more other Subsidiaries. For the purposes of this definition, “voting power” means power to vote in an ordinary election of directors (or, in the case of a Person that is not a corporation, ordinarily to appoint or approve the
appointment of Persons holding similar positions). 
 Section 1.03. Amount Unlimited; Issuable in Series. Section 2.03 of
the Indenture is hereby amended by:

interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Registered Security subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Issuer shall default
in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date for such series, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid, at the Issuer’s election, (a) to the Persons in whose names Outstanding Registered Securities for such
series are registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than ten Business Days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to
the holders of Registered Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date or (b) in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Registered Securities may be listed,

upon any of the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 

(b)    default in the payment of all or any part of the principal or other amounts on any of the
Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 

(c)    a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of
the Issuer in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Issuer or
for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

under clause (e) is with respect to less than all series of Securities then Outstanding) occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, except for any series the principal of which shall have already become due and payable,
either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series affected thereby then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given
by Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of any such affected series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all Securities
of such affected series and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default described in clause (e) (if the Event of
Default under clause (e) is with respect to all series of Securities at the time Outstanding), (c) or (d) occurs and is continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities shall have already become
due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by
Securityholders), may declare the entire principal (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then Outstanding and interest accrued
thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable. 
  

	 	(b)	adding the following paragraphs to the end of Section 5.01: 

 For the
avoidance of doubt, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to a particular Security or Securities, neither the Trustee nor any Holder shall be entitled to accelerate the maturity of any
Security, nor shall the maturity of any Security be otherwise accelerated, as a result of a Covenant Breach. 
 Solely for
purposes of this Article 5, Securities issued on or after January 13, 2017 shall be deemed not to 

  
 6 

 
be in the same series as the Securities issued prior to January 13, 2017 unless those Securities bear the same CUSIP number and/or ISIN as any Securities issued under the Indenture the
initial issuance of which occurred prior to January 13, 2017.

such Securities waive any past default, Event of Default described in Section 5.01 or Covenant Breach and its consequences except a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of
the Holder of each Security affected, provided that, in the case of an Event of Default, the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Securities of any series as provided in Section 5.01 has not occurred. In the case of any such
waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all such Securities shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent

    Employment Agreement shall be amended to contemplate that Lutz has, since August 15, 2016, been employed as the Company’s
    President and Chief Executive Officer, rather than the Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of the Company. Except as
    necessary to carry out the intent of the foregoing sentence, the language of Section 2(a) of the Employment Agreement shall
    remain in full force and effect.
	 	 
	3.	Section 2(c) of the
    Employment Agreement shall be amended, replaced and superseded in its entirety as follows:

 

“Base
Salary. As compensation for his services, the Executive shall be paid a base salary at a minimum annual rate of $240,000 payable
in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices, which salary shall be reviewed and may be increased (but not
decreased without the Executive’s Written Consent) from time to time at the discretion of the Compensation Committee or
of the Board of Directors of the Company.”

 

	4.	Any and all references
    to “Base Salary” in the Employment Agreement shall refer to Lutz’ Base Salary, as increased pursuant to
    the revised language of Section 2(c) of the Employment Agreement as set forth in Paragraph 1 of this Amendment.
	 	 
	5.	Where any provision
    of the Employment Agreement provides that any compensation, bonus, or other payment to be made to Lutz shall be made by reference
    to Exhibit A, the Company agrees and acknowledges that such compensation, bonus or other payment shall be made by reference
    to the amounts payable to the “CEO” or Chief Executive Officer set forth on Exhibit A.
