Dear William:

 

It has been a pleasure working with you over the past several months and the Board of Directors and I both recognize and appreciate you and your efforts to date.   In this regard and based on our discussions, we agree to modify the terms of your employment as a Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

The following are revisions to the terms of your offer letter dated November 18, 2015 (attached) and are effective as of the date of your acceptance of this letter:

Paragraph 7 h. of your offer letter of November 18, 2015 is deleted and the following is substituted therefor:

h.Special Severance and Retention Bonus:

 

i.

In the event you are terminated for other than cause or disability, or in the event there is a change of control/acquisition resulting in your termination or a substantial reduction of or material change in your responsibilities, M&I agrees to provide you a severance package equal to up to twelve (12) months of your then current base salary plus $80,000.00 of Annual Variable Cash Bonus and will reimburse your COBRA medical insurance costs, if elected, for you and your dependents for up to twelve (12) months.  Such severance and reimbursement will be paid on a monthly basis and ceases upon your commencement of other employment.

 

ii.

Retention Bonus:  As an incentive to retain your services, if we do not do a merger deal with ENG before February 1, 2017, you will receive a cash bonus of $100,000.00 payable in March, 2017 based on your continued employment thru February 15, 2017.  This bonus will not be paid if you are provided a severance package as noted in i. above.

William, I appreciate having you as a key member of the team and I look forward to our continuing to work together.
