Accordingly, upon confirmation by you of your agreement thereto, the
Agreement shall be amended in the following respects:
(1) The first sentence of Section 2 of the Agreement shall
be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
The Executive shall be paid a base salary at the rate
of not less than $1,350,000 per year during the Term, payable
in equal semi-monthly installments.
(2) The first paragraph of Section 4 of the Agreement shall
be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
During the Term, the Executive shall have the title
of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, shall
report directly to the Board of Directors of the Company and
shall have the powers, status and duties that are normally
exercised in and ordinarily pertain to these positions.
Mr. Ralph Levine -2- January 25, 2001
