Except to the extent attributable to a breach of this Agreement by the Company, in no event whatsoever will the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Executive under Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A. (b) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.” If Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” if no exemption or exclusion from Section 409 (A) is determined to apply, such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided until the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Executive, and (ii) the date of Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”).

Code Section 409A. It is intended that this Agreement and the Plan be designed and operated within the requirements of Code Section 409A (including any applicable exemptions) and, in the event of any inconsistency between any provision of the Plan or this Agreement and Section 409A, the provisions of Section 409A shall control. Any provision in the Plan or Agreement that is determined to violate the requirements of Section 409A shall be void and without effect. Any provision that is required by Section 409A to appear in the Plan or Agreement that is not expressly set forth therein shall be deemed to be set forth therein, and the Plan shall be administered in all respects as if such provision was expressly set forth herein. Any reference in the Plan or Agreement to Section 409A or a Treasury Regulation Section shall be deemed to include any similar or successor provisions thereto. (a) The Executive Performance RSU Award including each component RSU Award part thereof is intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A under the short-term deferral exception set forth in Code Section or, in the alternative, to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. (b) Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant should become subject to the 6-month delay rule of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(3)(v), then to the extent that the Executive Performance RSU award, in whole or in part, is subject to Section 409A and the Participant is a Specified Employee (as defined below) as of the date of Separation from Service (as defined below), distributions with respect to any RSUs that have been deferred may not be made before the date that is six (6) months after the date of Separation from Service or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death.
Code Section 409A. It is the intent of this Agreement to either meet an exception from or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any rulings and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Code”), and any ambiguities herein will be so interpreted and this agreement will be so administered. References to a termination of employment in Section 7 of this Agreement shall mean the date of a "separation from service" within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i). If the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment, any nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A that would otherwise have been payable under this Agreement as a result of, and within the first six (6) months following, the Executive’s "separation from service" and not by reason of another event under Section 409A(a)(2)(A), will become payable six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death. Any such “nonqualified deferred compensation” shall not be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment by creditors, or borrowing, to the extent necessary to avoid tax, penalties and/or interest under Section 409A of the Code. The Company agrees that it will pay, indemnify and hold the Executive harmless for any additional tax or interest penalty payable amount by the Executive on account of a violation of Section 409A. Any payment by the Company of such amount shall include a “gross-up” payment, which shall be the amount required to cause the net amount retained by the Executive after payment of all taxes, including taxes on the “gross-up” payment, to equal the amount of additional tax and interest penalty payable by the Executive on account of the violation of Section 409A. Such payment shall be made by the Company within thirty (30) days of the date that Executive submits proof of payment of such taxes to the taxing authority and not later than the end of Executive’s taxable year next following the taxable year in which the Executive submits the respective taxes to the taxing authority. The Executive agrees that the Company may amend this agreement, with the consent of the Executive, as the Company determines is necessary or advisable so that payments made pursuant to this agre...
Code Section 409A. This Agreement and the severance pay and other benefits provided hereunder are intended to qualify for an exemption from Code Section 409A, provided, however, that if this Agreement and the severance pay and other benefits provided hereunder are not so exempt, they are intended to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent applicable thereto. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed consistent with this intent, provided that the Company shall not be required to assume any increased economic burden in connection therewith. Although the Company intends to administer this Agreement so that it will comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that this Agreement will comply with Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law. Neither the Company, its subsidiaries, nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers shall be liable to Executive (or any other individual claiming a benefit through Executive) for any tax, interest, or penalties Executive may owe as a result of compensation paid under this Agreement, and the Company and its subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or otherwise protect Executive from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A. If any payment or reimbursement, or portion thereof, under this Agreement would be deemed to be a deferral of compensation not exempt from the provisions of Code Section 409A and would be considered a payment upon a separation from service for purposes of Code Section 409A, and Executive is determined to be a "specified employee" under Code Section 409A, then any such payment or reimbursement, or portion thereof, shall be delayed until the date that is the earlier to occur of (i) Executive's death or (ii) the date that is six months and one day following the date of the Termination of Executive's Employment (the "Delay Period"). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, the payments delayed pursuant to this Section 13 shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments due under this Section 13 shall be payable in accordance with their original payment schedule.

Code Section 409A. (a) It is the intent of the parties that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A and, accordingly, to interpret, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement to be in compliance therewith. If the Executive notifies the Company in writing (with specificity as to the reason therefore) that the Executive believes that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or benefits) would cause the Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A and the Company concurs with such belief or the Company (without any obligation whatsoever to do so) independently makes such determination, the parties shall, in good faith, reform such provision to try to comply with Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified by the parties to try to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.
