     11. Section 15 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding new subsections (e) and (f) as follows:

     “(e) The Executive and the Company hereby agree and confirm that the Transaction constitutes a Change of Control and an event of Good Reason and that as a result thereof, the Executive shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits set forth on Schedule A hereto.
