Directors of the Company on December 19, 2013;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants, promises and obligations set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership for which the Company is the sole general partner. It is understood by the Parties
that at a future date the Company will appoint a successor to the Executive as Chief Financial Officer of the Company and a successor
to the Executive as Secretary of the Company, but that otherwise the Executive’s duties, responsibility and authority will
remain consistent with the Executive’s current activities. So long as Executive continues to perform the responsibilities
of the Chief Financial Officer, he shall have the duties, authority and responsibility as set forth in the Third Amended and Restated
Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company with respect to the business activities of the Company, the Partnership, and
Regional as Chief Financial Officer, as well as such other duties, responsibilities and authority as established by the Chief Executive

“4.1      Base
Salary.

 

“(a)          The
Company shall be obligated to pay the Executive an annual rate of base salary of $275,000 (the “Base Salary”).
The Executive and the Company acknowledge that at a minimum 75% of the amount of the Base Salary ($206,500) shall be paid by Regional

but no less frequently than monthly.

 

“(b)          The
Company agrees to be responsible to pay all Base Salary owed to the Executive in the event that Regional is unable, for any reason,

Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the

“(c)          in
addition to any grants of Common Units or other securities of the Company or the Partnership as the Compensation Committee of the
Board may determine from time to time pursuant to one or more Company benefit plans pursuant to Section 4.3(b), the Company
shall, after such time as the Company has completed one or more acquisitions having a gross aggregate purchase price exceeding
$35 million (the “Initial Acquisition”), provide to Executive one or more future grants of Common Units of the Partnership
equal to the number of Common Units determined by dividing (1) one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the gross purchase price paid

if applicable (the “Sweat Equity Grant”). The obligation of the Company to provide the Sweat Equity Grant shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and will not terminate until fully issued to the Executive, except in the event the termination
of the Executive was the result of the Executive having been convicted of a felony crime involving moral turpitude, in which case
the Employee shall be entitled only to the Common Units issued and/or accrued but unissued as of the date of termination. The Common
Units subject to issuance under this Section 4.3(c) will be issued pursuant to a Unit Grant Agreement, which grant will
be governed by the terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan (or its successor) and the Unit Grant Agreement. All Common
Units issued pursuant to this Section 4.3 will be registered pursuant to a Form S-8 registration statement to be filed by
