iii. The Employee will be entitled to the fee payable under Section 3.2(i) and
one hundred percent (100%) of the bonus calculated pursuant to Section 3.2(ii) if
earned by the Employee unless the Employee is not eligible under 3.2(v) below.
2. | Section 3.2(iv) is hereby amended to read as follows: |
iv. The calculation of the sums due and the payment thereof shall be completed
and made within 21/2 months following the end of the fiscal year to which such payment
relates.
3. | The following is added to the end of Section 3.3: |
Any reimbursement shall be paid to the Employee as soon as practicable but no later
than December 31 of the calendar year following the year in which the Employee pays
such reasonable expenses in performing services under this Agreement.
4. | Section 3.4 is hereby amended to read as follows: |
3.4. Benefits. The Employee shall participate in such plans relating

discretion of the Board of Directors; provided, however, the benefits set forth and
described in Exhibit B attached shall be provided permanently and continuously
during the term of this Agreement unless changed by the Agreement in writing
executed by Employee and Corporation.
5. | Section 5 is hereby amended to read as follows: |
5. | DISABILITY |
5.1 Disability shall be deemed to have occurred if the Employee: (i) is unable
to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death,
or last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months; (ii) by reason of any
medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result
in death, or last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, is receiving
income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an
accident and health plan covering employees of the Corporation; or (iii) is
determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration.
5.2 Upon a determination of Disability, any continued payment of salary and
other benefits shall be provided pursuant to the policy of the Corporation as
established from time-to-time by the Board of Directors. Payments of salary, if
applicable, shall commence within 30 days following the date the Employee suffers a
Disability and shall be payable in accordance with regular payroll practices of the
Corporation for a payout period as designated by the Board of Directors, provided
that such period does not exceed the date on which the Agreement is terminated.
6. | The first sentence of Section 6(b) shall be amended to read as follows: |
The Disability (as defined in Section 5.1) of the Employee which renders him unable
to perform his duties for a period of at least 24 months.
7. | Section 7(a) shall be amended to read as follows: |
(a) As of the effective date of the termination of this Agreement, the Corporation
shall have no further obligation to pay any further salary to the Employee hereunder
(except the annual salary shall be prorated to the date of termination) or
2
any other benefits hereunder, other than the additional compensation referred to in
Section 3.2, and the Employee shall have no further obligation to perform his duties
and responsibilities hereunder, other than the covenant not to compete contained in
Section 8 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the termination of the
Employee’s active employment, the Employee shall be entitled to receive continued
non-taxable health coverage from the Employer until the later of age 65, or the date
on which the Employee is eligible for Medicare coverage.
8. | Section 7(c) shall be added to read as follows: |
(c) To the extent necessary to comply with Code Section 409A, the Employee’s
termination of active employment shall be construed to require a “Separation from
Service” as defined in Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, such that the Corporation and Employee reasonably anticipate that the
level of bona fide services Employee would perform after termination would
permanently decrease to a level that is less than 50% of the average level of bona
fide services performed (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over
the immediately preceding 36-month period.
