Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit provided under this Agreement that is considered to be “deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A will be provided in such manner and at such time, including without limitation in connection with a permissible payment event under Code Section 409A, as is exempt from or complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A. All rights to payments and benefits under this Agreement are to be treated as rights to receive a series of separate payments and benefits to the fullest extent allowed by Code Section 409A. Termination of employment under this Agreement, to the extent required by Code Section 409A, will be construed to mean a “separation from service” under Code Section 409A and related regulations. The terms of this Agreement are intended to, and will be construed and administered to the fullest extent possible, to permit compensation to be paid under this Agreement to be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A. Regardless, neither the Company nor its directors, officers or agents will be liable to Executive or anyone else if the Internal Revenue Service or any court or other authority determines that any payments or benefits to be provided under this Agreement are subject to taxes, penalties or interest as a result of failing to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit that constitutes non-exempt “deferred compensation” under Code Section 409A would otherwise be provided under this Agreement due to Executive’s separation from service during a period in which he is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A and the associated final regulations), then, to the extent required by Code Section 409A, such payments or benefits will be delayed, to the extent applicable, until six months after Executive’s separation from service or, if earlier, Executive’s death (the “409A Deferral Period”). If such payments are otherwise due to be made in installments during the 409A Deferral Period, the payments that would otherwise have been made in the 409A Deferral Period will be accumulated and paid in a lump sum during the seventh month following the Executive’s separation from service, and the balance of the payments will be made as otherwise scheduled. In the event benefits are required to be deferred, any such benefit may be provided during the 409A Deferral Period at Executive’s expense, with Executive having the right to reimbursement from the Company once the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the benefits will be provided as otherwise scheduled. With respect to any reimbursement or in-kind benefit arrangements of the Company that constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A, except as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, the following conditions shall be applicable: (i) the amount eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, under any such arrangement in one calendar year may not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, under such arrangement in any other calendar year, (ii) any reimbursement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Whenever payments under this Agreement are to be made in installments, each such installment shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A.
