6.
|
The
following new Section 18 is hereby added to the
Agreement:
|
Section
18. Section
409A of the Code. The provisions of this Section 18 shall
apply notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary.
|
(a)
|
Intent to Comply with
Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that the
provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A, and all provisions
of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner
consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under
Section 409A.
|
|
(b)
|
Six-Month Delay of
Certain Payments. If, at the time of the Executive’s
separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) the
Executive shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section
409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from
time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination
that an amount payable under this Agreement or any other plan, policy,
arrangement or agreement of or with the Company or any affiliate thereof
(this Agreement and such other plans, policies, arrangements and
agreements, the “Company
|
2
|
Plans”)
constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) the
payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay
rule set forth in Section 409A in order to avoid taxes or penalties under
Section 409A, then the Company (or an affiliate, as applicable) shall not
pay any such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall
instead accumulate such amount and pay it, without interest, on the first
day of the seventh month following such separation from
service.
|
|
(c)
|
Amendment of Deferred
Compensation Plans. Notwithstanding any provision of any
Company Plan to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to
the proper application of Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to
make amendments to any Company Plan as the Company deems necessary or
desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section
409A.
|
|
(d)
|
Prohibition of
Offsets. Except as permitted under Section 409A, any
deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) payable to or
for the benefit of the Executive under any Company Plan may not be reduced
by, or offset against, any amount owing by the Executive to the Company or
any affiliate thereof.
|
7.
|
Except
as set forth herein, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.
