WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee desire to amend certain of the terms of the employment of Employee
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants, terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby specifically acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.
Prior Notice.
The parties wish to amend Section 13.2 of the Employment Agreement in its entirety as follows:

2.

(b)
Change of Control.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” is defined as:
 
 
i.
any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Parent Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Parent Company's then outstanding voting securities;

iii.
the date of the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Parent Company with any other corporation that has been approved by the stockholders of the Parent Company, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Parent Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Parent Company, or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Parent Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Parent Company; or

i.
a significant reduction of Employee’s duties, position or responsibilities relative to Employee’s duties, position or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction; provided, however, that a reduction in duties, position or responsibilities solely by virtue of the Parent Company being acquired and made part of a larger entity will not constitute a “Constructive Termination”; or
 
 
ii.
a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) by the Company of Employee’s Salary as in effect either on the Effective Date or immediately prior to such reduction (other than as part of an overall reduction applicable to similarly situated senior employees of the Company or its successor).
 
 
(d)
In each case, prior to Employee being permitted to resign from his employment due to a “Constructive Termination”, the Company will have thirty (30) days to cure any such alleged breach, assignment, reduction or requirement, after Employee provides the Company written notice of the actions or omissions constituting such breach, assignment, reduction or requirement.
