Each year, Vendor has the option to take up to forty percent (40%) of the Annual Restricted Stock Payment in cash instead of as Restricted Stock. Such a cash payment is to be paid in three equal payments on the three (3) following anniversaries of the Closing. The Parties hereby amend the Agreement to provide that on September 1, 2012 all deferred cash payments to be paid to Vendor under Section 3.6.2 on any of the anniversaries of the Closing shall accelerate and become due and payable on September 1, 2012 in a single payment.
