WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend certain terms of the Employment Agreement as set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

(f)    Obligations of the Company Upon Termination.
(i)         Death; Disability; For Cause; Resignation without Good Reason. If Executive's employment is terminated by reason of Executive's Death or Disability or by the Company for Cause or Executive resigns without Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive or her legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for (A) payment of the sum of (1) Executive's Annual Base Salary through the date of termination to the extent not theretofore paid and (2) reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination which shall be paid in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the effective date of termination or such earlier date as may be required by law; (B) any payments, benefits or fringe benefits to which Executive shall be entitled under the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit, equity or fringe benefit plan or program or grant or this Agreement, which shall be paid at such times and in such forms as provided for by such plan, program or grant or such earlier date as may be required by law; and (C) any Annual Bonus earned but unpaid with respect to the fiscal year ending on or preceding the date of termination, which shall be paid in a lump sum in cash when such Annual Bonus payment is regularly paid to similarly situated executives (the payments and benefits described in clauses (A), (B), and (C) shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”).
(ii)         By the Company without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason. If, prior to the expiration of the stated term of this Agreement, the Company terminates Executive's employment without Cause or Executive terminates her employment for Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive other than:
(A) payment of the Accrued Obligations as described in Section 4(f)(i); and
(B) payment of the equivalent of twelve (12) months of Executive's Annual Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the date of termination which shall be paid in a lump sum in cash within 60 days of the effective date of termination, subject to standard withholdings and other authorized deductions; 
provided, however, that as a condition precedent to receiving the payments and benefits provided for in this Section 4(f)(ii) (other than payment of the Accrued Obligations), Executive shall first execute and deliver to the Company and RRI a general release agreement in a form that is satisfactory to the Company and RRI, and all rights of Executive thereunder or under applicable law to rescind or revoke the release shall have expired no later than the date specified in such release, which shall either be 28 days or 52 days, dependent upon the circumstances, after the date of termination. If Executive 

fails to timely execute the release, all payments and benefits set forth in this Section 4(f)(ii) (other than the payment of the Accrued Obligations) shall be forfeited. 
Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, if Section 4(f)(iii) applies to Executive, this Section 4(f)(ii) shall not also apply.
(iii)         Change in Control.  If, within 24 months following a Change in Control Date, the Company terminates Executive's employment without Cause or Executive terminates her employment for Good Reason, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive other than:

(C) payment of the higher of Executive’s target or actual Annual Bonus amount earned for performance during the fiscal year in which the Change in Control Date occurs which shall be paid in a lump sum in cash when such Annual Bonus payment is regularly paid to similarly situated executives; 
(D) upon surrender by Executive within ninety (90) days after the termination of Executive’s employment (which surrender shall be at the sole option of Executive) of her outstanding options to purchase common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) granted to Executive by the Company (the “Outstanding Options”), payment of an amount in respect of each Outstanding Option (whether vested or not) equal to the difference between the exercise price of such Outstanding Option and the fair market value of the Common Shares at the time of such termination (but not less than the closing price for the Common Shares on NASDAQ, or such other national stock exchange on which such shares may be listed, on the last trading day such shares traded prior to the date of surrender) which shall be paid in a lump sum in cash within 10 days of such surrender; and
(E)     upon Executive’s timely election of continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, the Company shall pay to Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after such election an amount equal to the product of (x) the portion of premiums of Executive’s group health insurance, including coverage for Executive’s eligible dependents, that the Company paid immediately prior to her date of termination and (y) twelve; 
provided, however, that as a condition precedent to receiving the payments and benefits provided for in this Section 4(f)(iii) (other than payment of the Accrued Obligations), Executive shall first execute and deliver to the Company and RRI a general release agreement in a form that is satisfactory to the Company and RRI, and all rights of Executive thereunder or under applicable law to rescind or revoke the release shall have expired no later than the date specified in such release, which shall either be 28 days or 52 days, dependent upon the circumstances, after the date of termination. If Executive fails to timely execute the release, all payments and benefits set forth in this Section 4(f)(iii) (other than the payment of the Accrued Obligations) shall be forfeited. ·
(iv)        Exclusive Remedy. Executive agrees that the payments contemplated by this Section 4(f) shall constitute the exclusive and sole remedy for any termination of her employment, and Executive covenants not to assert or pursue any other remedies, at law or in equity, with respect to any termination of employment; provided. however, that nothing contained in this Section 4(f)(iv) shall prevent Executive from otherwise challenging in a subsequent arbitration proceeding a determination by the Company that it was entitled to terminate Executive's employment hereunder for Cause.

(v)        Termination of Payments. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall have the right to terminate all payments and benefits owing to Executive pursuant to this Section 4(f) upon the Company's discovery of any breach by Executive of her obligations under the general release or Sections 5, 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement.”
