Section 2.4. The first paragraph of Section 2.4 is hereby deleted and replaced with the following (Subsections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 remain unchanged):
Section 2.4. The following language is hereby added to the end of Section 24 of the Employment Agreement: “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits shall be paid to the Employee during the six (6)-month period following the Employee’s Separation from Service to the extent the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines the Employee is a “specified employee” at the time of such Separation from Service (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) and that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i) and/or cause the Employee to incur additional taxes under Code Section 409A. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such six (6)-month period, (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Code Section 409A without being subject to such additional taxes, including as a result of the Employee’s death), the Company shall pay the Employee a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to the Employee during such six (6)-month period, without interest thereon. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that following the effective date hereof, the Company determines that any payments or benefits hereunder (or, with respect to the Employee, under the CIC Plan) are not either exempt from or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Company may adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt such other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment and economic benefits of the payments and benefits provided hereunder, including any such actions intended (a) to exempt such payments and benefits from Section 409A of the Code and/or (b) to cause such payments and benefits to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.”
