(“SXC”), the terms and conditions of the Company’s applicable long-term incentive plan and the applicable award agreements and your continued employment with the Company following the consummation of the Transaction.

As consideration for the Initial Equity Grant and to further align the terms of your Employment Agreement with Catalyst with those of the Company’s Executive Vice Presidents, the Company desires to amend your Employment Agreement as follows:
