that an amount (or any portion of an amount) payable to Executive hereunder,
is
required to be suspended or delayed for six months in order to satisfy the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will so advise
Executive, and any such payment (or the minimum amount thereof) shall be
suspended and accrued for six months, whereupon such amount or portion thereof
shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum (together with interest thereon at
