NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties amend the Agreement as follows:
1. Section 3(c) of the Agreement is amended in its entirety to read:
(c) Long-Term Incentive Opportunity. To the extent the Company determines to award long-term incentive compensation, Executive shall be eligible to participate in such programs (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable plan and agreements) and shall be eligible to receive a long-term incentive award at the following percentages of the average annual Base Salary during the three year performance period applicable to such award opportunity, as approved by the Board in its sole discretion, if the Company and Executive achieve certain performance targets during certain performance periods proposed by management and approved by the Board:
•Threshold – 150%
•Target – 300% (such target award, the “Target LTIP Award”)
•Maximum – 600%
Awards from the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan are contributed to the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan after the end of a performance period and vest over an additional 28-month period following the performance period end date.
2. The above revised long-term incentive award percentages shall be used to determine the award opportunity under any long-term incentive plan performance period commencing on or after September 1, 2021. The prior long-term incentive award percentages shall apply to all three-year long-term incentive plan performance periods that commenced prior to September 1, 2021.

•Threshold – 75%
•Target – 150%
•Maximum – 300%
•Superior – 500%

Except as herein above modified, the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
