(j) Amendments. This Agreement may not be altered, modified or amended except by a written instrument signed by
each of the parties hereto, provided, however, that the Company may unilaterally amend this Agreement at any time as
may be necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to comply with law, to avoid payments to the Executive under the
Agreement being subject to an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code or to avoid compensation paid prior to a
Change of Control being nondeductible to the Company under Revenue Ruling 2008-13. This Agreement is intended to
comply with Section 409A of the Code, and no action taken by the Company shall be construed in a manner that would
result in the imposition of an additional tax on Executive under Section 409A of the Code.
