AGREEMENTS

1. Section 2.3 of the Employment Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

2.3 Long-Term Incentive Compensation.

(i) Equity Awards. Employee shall be eligible to receive grants under Employer’s 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan, or any successor plans, in such amounts as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee including grants of options, Restricted Stock, or Restricted Stock Units. Such awards may vest over time conditioned on the continued performance of substantial services (including the agreement to refrain from performing substantial services) or upon the achievement of performance criteria or other conditions, in each case as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.

(ii) Condition of Grants. The rights and liabilities of Employer and Employee regarding entitlement to, and vesting of, any long-term incentive compensation granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be conditioned and dependent on the Employee’s consent and agreement to the promises set forth in the Non-Compete Agreement and Section 5 of this Agreement. In the event that any provision set forth in the Non-Compete Agreement is violated, Employer shall have the right, among other remedies, to demand forfeiture of any cash and equity grants awarded or vested during the twelve (12) months prior to such violation or declaration.

2. Section 3.1 of the Employment Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“3.1. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue through May 19, 2019, unless earlier terminated as provided for herein. Following May 19, 2019, the Agreement will continue until terminated by either Employer or Employee upon delivery of written notice of termination no later than six months prior to the date of termination set forth in such notice (which date will constitute the end of the “Term” for purposes of his Agreement).”

3. Miscellaneous.

All references in the Employment Agreement to the “Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the Employment Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

Except as expressly amended hereby, the Employment Agreement is unchanged and remains in full force and effect.
