​

6. Rights of Non-Parties. All persons or entities against whom claims are released or waived by this Amendment are either party to or intended beneficiaries of this Amendment and shall have the same right and ability to enforce the release or waiver provided by this Amendment as though a party and signatory hereto.

​

7. Miscellaneous.

​

7.01Governing Law.  This Amendment is made under and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

​

7.02Prior Agreements.  This Amendment, together with the Employment Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein and therein, contain the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to such subject matter (including, without limitation, the Employment Agreement), and the parties hereto have made no agreement, representations or warranties relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof which are not set forth herein. Except as amended by this Amendment, all other provisions of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the remainder of the Term (as defined in the Employment Agreement) pursuant to the terms thereof.

​

7.03Withholding Taxes.  The Company may withhold from any benefits payable under this Amendment all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

​

7.04Amendments. No amendments or modifications of this Amendment shall be deemed effective unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

​

4

7.05No Waiver. No term or condition of this Amendment shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there by an estoppel to enforce any provisions of this Amendment , except by a statement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver or estoppel is sought. Any written waiver shall not be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated, shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived.

​

7.06Severability. To the extent any provision of this Amendment shall be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted herefrom and the remainder of such provision and of this Amendment shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, should the duration or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Amendment be in excess of that which is valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities which may validly and enforceably be covered. Employee acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this Amendment be given the construction which renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.

​

7.07Assignment. This Amendment shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, by either party without the written consent of the other party. After any such assignment by the Company, the Company shall be discharged from all further liability hereunder and such assignee shall thereafter be deemed to be the Company for the purposes of all provisions of this Amendment including this Section 7.

​

7.08Injunctive Relief. Employee agrees that it would be difficult to compensate the Company fully for damages for any violation of the provisions of this Amendment, including without limitation the provisions of Section 3. Accordingly, Employee specifically agrees that the Company shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Amendment and that such relief may be granted without the necessity of proving actual damages. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not, however, diminish the right of the Company to claim and recover damages in addition to injunctive relief.

​

7.09 Other Agreements. Sections 8.06 (“Section 409A”), 8.07 (“280G Parachute Payments”), 8.08 (“Compensation Recovery Policy”), 8.12 (“Attorneys’ Fees and Costs”), 8.13 (“No Mitigation Obligation”), 8.14 (“Notices”), and 8.15 “Notice of Immunity”) of the Employment Agreement shall apply to this Amendment as if set forth herein.

​

7.10Survival. The rights and obligations of the parties under the provisions of this Agreement shall survive, and remain binding and enforceable, notwithstanding the expiration of the Term, the termination of this Agreement, the termination of Employee’s employment hereunder or any settlement of the financial rights and obligations arising from Employee’s employment hereunder, to the extent necessary to preserve the intended benefits of such provisions.

​

7.11 Voluntary Execution. Employee hereby represents that Employee has read and understands the contents of this Amendment, that no representations other than those contained herein have been made to induce Employee or to influence Employee to execute this Amendment, but that Employee executes this Amendment knowingly and voluntarily, after having received independent legal counsel of Employee’s own choosing, if Employee so chooses.
