Terms used in this Amendment with initial capital letters that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offer Letter.
WHEREAS, Section 6.D of the Offer Letter provides that the Offer Letter may be amended by a writing executed by both parties; and
WHEREAS, the parties mutually desire to modify certain provisions that would otherwise apply to Employee’s compensation and term of employment pursuant to the Offer Letter.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, conditions, and covenants contained herein and in the Offer Letter, and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby mutually agree as follows:
1. The last sentence of Section 1 of the Offer Letter is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
You shall serve Petros and its subsidiaries and affiliates faithfully and to the best of your ability and shall devote your business time, energy, experience and talents to the business of Petros and its subsidiaries and affiliates, as applicable; provided, however, that it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for you to (i) manage your personal investments or to engage in or serve such civic, community, charitable, educational, or religious organizations as you may select, or (ii) engage in other consulting or employment activities for direct or indirect remuneration, so long as such engagement or service does not create a conflict of interest with, or interfere with the performance of, your duties hereunder or conflict with any covenants with Xxxxxx, in each case as determined in the sole and reasonable judgment of the Board.
2. Section 2 of the Offer Letter is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
2. Term of Employment; Place of Employment. This Agreement shall terminate on December 31, 2024 (the “Termination Date”).

Your compensation in the event of termination by the Company prior to the Termination Date shall be in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, a resignation by the Employee at any time (prior to or after the Termination Date) shall not constitute a termination by the Employee for Good Reason unless due to any further reduction of the Base Salary (as defined below) prior to the Termination Date. Your principal place of employment shall be the Company’s offices located in New Jersey (or, to the extent permitted or mandated by the Company, your home), subject to required travel.
