constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, payment of such amounts shall not commence until I incur a Separation from Service . If, at the time of my Separation from Service, I am a “specified employee” (under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A), any amount that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A that becomes payable to me on account of my Separation from Service (including any amounts payable pursuant to the preceding sentence) will not be paid until after the end of the sixth calendar month beginning after my Separation from Service (the “409A Suspension Period”). Within 14 calendar days after the end of the 409A Suspension Period, I shall be paid a lump sum payment in cash equal to any payments delayed because of the preceding sentence, together with interest on them for the period of delay at a rate not less than the average prime interest rate published in the Wall Street Journal on any day chosen by the Board during that period. Thereafter, I shall receive any remaining benefits as if there had not been an earlier delay. |
6. | Authorization. I made the above deferral and distribution election voluntarily, after receipt of the Plan document and the opportunity to review and discuss the Plan with personal advisors. I understand that all distributions will be subject to applicable withholdings taxes. I understand that this deferral and distribution election can only be superseded by a subsequent distribution election in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and provisions of the Plan. I further understand that the Company reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan.

I acknowledge that I am solely responsible for the satisfaction of any taxes that may arise under the Plan, and the Company shall have no obligation to pay such taxes or to prevent me from incurring them. |
