In addition, the Company shall pay or provide you with the following: (i) any unpaid accrued bonus for the immediately prior year (payable when bonuses are paid to other executives of the Company), (ii) any unpaid accrued vacation in accordance with the Company’s paid time off policies, (iii) unreimbursed expenses (paid pursuant to the Company’s expense reimbursement policy) and (iv) all accrued vested benefits provided pursuant to the terms of the Company’s benefit plans (the “Accrued Obligations”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such termination occurs during the Change in Control Period, but prior to a Change in Control, cash severance shall commence to be paid in installments in accordance with clause (i) of the preceding paragraph, and upon the occurrence of such Change in Control, the remainder of the cash severance payment shall be payable in a lump-sum in accordance with this section on the first regular payroll date following the closing of such Change in Control. The severance payments described above will be paid in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures, and, subject to your satisfaction of the Release Requirement (as defined below), will commence on the first payroll date that follows the Release Effective Date, and once they commence will be retroactive to the date of your Qualified Separation. The pro-rata portion of your bonus will be paid within seven business days following the Release Effective Date. You will not be entitled to any of the benefits described above unless you (i) have returned all Company property in your possession, including (without limitation) copies of documents that belong to the Company and files stored on your computer(s) that contain information belonging to the Company and (ii) have satisfied the following release requirements (the “Release Requirement”): sign and return a separation agreement and general release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, including any reasonable modifications taking into consideration relevant federal and state laws at the time of termination (the “Release”) and such Release becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the date of your Qualified Separation or such earlier date required by the release (the “Release Deadline”), and permit the Release to become effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms (such effective date of the Release, the “Release Effective Date”). If you fail to return the release on or before the Release Deadline, or if you revoke the release, then you will not be entitled to the benefits described above. You acknowledge and agree that if you resign without Good Reason or if the Company terminates your employment for Cause, you will not be eligible to receive any of the benefits described above, other than the Accrued Obligations (but not including the payment under clause (i) of Accrued Obligations). It is intended that all of the payments and benefits payable under this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Code Section 409A and this Agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions, and to the extent no so exempt, this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A. If the parties agree in good faith that this Agreement is not in compliance with Section 409A, the parties shall cooperate to attempt to modify this Agreement to comply with Section 409A while endeavoring to maintain its economic benefits to the greatest extent practicable. For purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), your right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments, reimbursements or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if you are deemed by the Company at the time of your “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), without regard to any alternative definition thereunder, a “Separation from Service”) to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and if any of the payments upon Separation from Service set forth herein and/or under any other agreement with the Company are deemed to be “deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A, such payments shall not be provided to you prior to the earliest of (i) the expiration of the six-month and one day period measured from the date of your Separation from Service with the Company, (ii) the date of your death or (iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section shall be paid in a lump sum to you, and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable agreement. No interest shall be due on any amounts so deferred. If the Company determines that any severance benefits provided under this Agreement constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A, for purposes of determining the schedule for payment of the severance benefits, the effective date of the Release will not be deemed to have occurred any earlier than the sixtieth (60th) date following the Separation From Service, regardless of when the Release actually becomes effective. In addition to the above, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A and the applicable regulations and guidance issued thereunder, if the applicable time period for you to execute (and not revoke) the applicable Release spans two calendar years, payment of the applicable severance benefits shall not commence until the beginning of the second calendar year. The Company makes no representation that compensation paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to any such payment. In addition, you acknowledge and agree that the payments and benefits described in this agreement (in addition to any other payments and benefits payable to you by the Company or any affiliate thereof) may be subject to reduction as set forth on Attachment A, which is hereby incorporated into this Agreement.

Any prorated payment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made within 10 business days of such termination. If the annual bonus payment for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 has not been paid to you or otherwise determined by the Company as of the date the prorated payment is due, the prorated payment shall be calculated using your target bonus amount for 2008.
