Employer will make any payments required by this paragraph no later than the last day of Executive’s taxable year next following Executive’s taxable year in which the 409A Tax is remitted to the taxing authority. In no other event whatsoever will Employer be liable for additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Section 409A or damages for any payments or benefits that fail to comply with Section 409A.

On the earlier of (A1) the business day following the six-month anniversary of the date his Executive’s separation from service becomes effective, and (B2) the Executive’s death, the Company Employer shall pay the Executive in a lump sum the aggregate value of the non-qualified deferred compensation that the Company Employer otherwise would have paid the Executive prior to that date under Section 5(b), (c) 8 or (d) 9.B. of this Agreement.

If Executive or Employer believes, at any time, that any such benefit or right that is subject to Section 409A does not so comply, it shall promptly advise the other and shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to amend the terms of such benefits and rights such that they comply with Section 409A (with the most limited possible economic effect on Executive and on Employer) to the extent allowed by applicable law. To the extent that any payment provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement is subject to adverse tax consequences under Section 409A (solely as a result of Employer’s action or inaction with respect to such payment), Employer will make such additional payments to Executive (the “409A Gross Up Payments”) as are necessary to provide Executive with sufficient funds to pay the additional taxes, interest and penalties imposed by Section 409A (collectively, the “409A Tax”), as well as any additional taxes, including but not limited to additional 409A Tax, attributable to or resulting from the payment of the 409A Gross Up Payments, with the end result that Executive will be in the same position with respect to Executive’s tax liability as Executive would have been in if no 409A Tax had ever been imposed. Employer will make any payments required by this paragraph no later than the last day of Executive’s taxable year next following Executive’s taxable year in which the 409A Tax is remitted to the taxing authority. In no other event whatsoever will Employer be liable for additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on Executive by Section 409A or damages for any payments or benefits that fail to comply with Section 409A.
