• Code “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

• Section 409A Savings Clause (a) It is the intention of the parties that compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement not be subject to the additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly. To the extent such potential payments or benefits could become subject to additional tax under such Section, the parties shall cooperate to amend this Agreement with the goal of giving Executive the economic benefits described herein in a manner that does not result in such tax being imposed.

• Code Section 409A This Agreement shall be interpreted to avoid any penalty sanctions under Section 409A of the Code and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”). If any payment or benefit cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions under Section 409A, then such benefit or payment shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be imposed. All payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may be made only upon a “separation of service” under Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at the time of Executive’s termination of employment, Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, and the deferral of the commencement of any severance payments or benefits otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated income recognition or additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1), then the Company will not commence any payment of any such severance payments or benefits otherwise required hereunder (but without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) that (a) will not and may not under any circumstances, regardless of when such termination occurs, be paid in full by March 15 of the year following Executive’s termination (or two and one half (2 1⁄2) months after the close of the Company’s fiscal year, if later), and (b) are in excess of the lesser of (i) two (2) times Executive’s then annual compensation or (ii) two (2) times the limit on compensation set forth in Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated and will not be paid by the end of the second calendar year following the year in which the termination occurs, until the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six (6) months following Executive’s “separation of service” with the Company (as defined under Code Section 409A). If any payments are delayed due to such requirements, such amounts will be paid in a lump sum to Executive on the earliest of (x) Executive’s death following the date of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company or (y) the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six (6) months following Executive’s “separation of service” with the Company. For these purposes, each severance payment or benefit is designated as a separate payment or benefit and will not collectively be treated as a single payment or benefit. This provision is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, to the extent that any amendment to this Agreement with respect to the payment of any severance payments or benefits would constitute under Section 409A a delay or acceleration in a payment or a change in the form of payment, then such amendment must be done in a manner that complies with Section 409A(a)(4)(C).

• Defined Contribution Plan The Employer will establish the following Employer contribution programs in the existing salary deferral plans: » Beginning in 2006 and continuing throughout the term of the Agreement, a performance-based contribution

• IRC Section 409A This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A (as defined in Section 23 of this Agreement) and any ambiguous provisions will be construed in a manner that is compliant with the application of Section 409A. If (a) the Indemnitee is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A) and (b) any payment payable upon “separation from service” (as such term is defined by the Company in accordance with Section 409A) under this Agreement is subject to Section 409A and is required to be delayed under Section 409A because the Indemnitee is a specified employee, that payment shall be payable on the earlier of (i) the first business day that is six months after the Indemnitee’s “separation from service”; (ii) the date of the Indemnitee’s death; or (iii) the date that otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 409A. This Section 25 shall be applied by accumulating all payments that otherwise would have been paid within six months of the Indemnitee’s separation from service and paying such accumulated amounts on the earliest business day which complies with the requirements of Section 409A. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment or amount due under this Agreement shall be considered a separate payment, and the Indemnitee’s entitlement to a series of payments under this Agreement is to be treated as an entitlement to a series of separate payments.

• Cafeteria The parties acknowledge that a food service is or shall be provided in the lower level of the Building. The parties further acknowledge that, although the existing food service facility in the Building will be in place at the Commencement Date, shortly thereafter Landlord will be relocating the food service facility to the lower level of the Building (the “Food Service Relocation”). Landlord estimates that the Food Service Relocation will take approximately six (6) weeks (which time period may be further extended as a result of delays in Landlord obtaining all required governmental and/or municipal inspections, approvals, authorizations or consents, including, without limitation, any required inspections by and authorizations from the Department of Health, although Landlord agrees to use reasonable diligent in obtaining same), during which period there will be no food service facility in the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees that during the Food Service Relocation, it will arrange for limited food service to be available at the Building (i.e., prepared foods, such as sandwiches and beverages sold by food service personnel, not served from a vending machine). Once the Food Service Relocation is completed, Landlord agrees that the service provided in the food service facility shall be similar in quality to that which is offered in similar Class “A” office buildings. For so much of the Term as such food service is provided in the Building, Tenant shall be permitted to invite its principals and employees to use same for the purchase and consumption of food and beverages offered for sale. Tenant shall pay or reimburse Landlord, on a monthly basis, for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any subsidy provided by Landlord to the food service operator, but in no event shall Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the subsidy exceed $15,000.00 per annum. Tenant shall also have the right to use the food service area from time to time and at any time after 3:00 p.m on weekdays for the hosting of business events or functions so long as (a) Tenant provides Landlord with reasonable prior notice of the date, time and nature of such events or functions, (b) Tenant reimburses Landlord, on demand, for any additional cost or expense actually incurred by Landlord in connection with such events or functions (e.g., security services, cleaning services, etc.), and (c) Tenant enters into such agreements for such use of the food service area as Landlord and the food service provider may reasonably request. The use of the food service shall be subject to the reasonable rules and regulations of Landlord and/or the operator of the food service now or hereafter imposed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph, if the food service opens for business and subsequently closes, either temporarily or permanently, there shall be no abatement or diminution of Rent and Tenant shall in no event be relieved from any of its obligations under this lease, except that Tenant shall not be required to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the food service subsidy for the period in which the food service is not operational. Further, in the event there is no food service in the Building for thirty (30) or more consecutive days, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a revocable license to use the food service area so that Tenant can provide its own licensed and reputable food service operator for the purpose of providing food service in the lower level of the Building.

• Additional Section 409A Provisions Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary:

• Effect of Section 409A of the Code Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company determines (i) that on the date Executive’s employment with the Company terminates or at such other time that the Company determines to be relevant, Executive is a “specified employee” (as such term is defined under Section 409A) of the Company and (ii) that any payments to be provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement are or may become subject to the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code or any other taxes or penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A Taxes”) if provided at the time otherwise required under this Agreement then (A) such payments shall be delayed until the date that is six months after date of Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Section 409A of the Code) with the Company, or such shorter period that, as determined by the Company, is sufficient to avoid the imposition of Section 409A Taxes (the “Payment Delay Period”) and (B) such payments shall be increased by an amount equal to interest on such payments for the Payment Delay Period at a rate equal to the prime rate in effect as of the date the payment was first due plus one point (for this purpose, the prime rate will be based on the rate published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal).

• Section 409A Provisions The payment of Shares under this Agreement is intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code by reason of the short-term deferral exemption set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(4). Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit hereunder that constitutes “deferred compensation” to the Participant under Section 409A is otherwise payable or distributable to the Participant under the Plan or this Agreement solely by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control or due to the Participant’s Disability or separation from service, such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to the Participant by reason of such circumstance unless the Committee determines in good faith that (i) the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, Disability or separation from service meet the definition of a change in ownership or control, disability, or separation from service, as the case may be, in Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code and applicable final regulations, or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise (including, but not limited to, a payment made pursuant to an involuntary separation arrangement that is exempt from Section 409A under the “short-term deferral” exception). Any payment or distribution that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A and that otherwise would be made to a Participant who is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code on account of separation from service instead shall be made on the earlier of the date that is six months and one day after the date of the specified employee’s separation from service and the specified employee’s death.
