1. | the last sentence of the “Duration” section shall be amended to read as follows: “Following expiration of the Initial Term, the Assignment will continue until January 31, 2020 (the period from the expiration of the Initial Term until January 31, 2020 being the “Extended Term”);

2. | the first sentence of the section entitled “Fees Associated with Transition and Advisory Services” shall be amended to add the following language at the end of such sentence: “provided, however, that from September 19, 2019 through the end of the Extended Term, such base salary shall be reduced by 50%”; and

This letter may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Yours sincerely,
