The parties hereto intend that all payments and benefits to be made or provided to the Executive will be paid or provided in compliance with all applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), so as not to be subject to the premature income recognition or adverse tax provisions of Code 409A, and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with and to implement such intent. In furtherance of the foregoing, the provisions set forth below shall apply notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement:

(a) All payments to be made to the Executive hereunder, to the extent they constitute a deferral of compensation subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A (after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payments under Code Section 409A), shall be made no later, and shall not be made any earlier, than at the time or times specified herein or in any applicable plan for such payments to be made, except as otherwise permitted or required under Section 409A.

(b) The date of the Executive's "separation from service," as defined in Code Section 409A (and as determined by applying the default presumptions in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(1)(ii), shall be treated as the date of the Executive's termination of employment for purposes of determining the time of payment of any amount that becomes payable to the Executive related to the Executive's termination of employment and that is properly treated as a deferral of compensation subject to Code Section 409A after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payment under Code Section 409A.

(c) To the extent any payment or delivery otherwise required to be made to the Executive hereunder on account of the Executive's separation from service is properly treated as a deferral of compensation subject to Code Section 409A after taking into account all exclusions applicable to such payment and delivery under Code Section 409A, and if Executive is a "specified employee" under Code Section 409A at the time of the Executive's separation from service, then such payment and delivery shall not be made prior to the first business day after the earlier of(i) the expiration of six (6) months from the date of the Executive's separation from service, or (ii) the date of Executive's disability (as such term is defined in Code Section 409A) or death (such first business day, the "Delayed Payment Date"). On the Delayed Payment Date, there shall be paid or delivered to the Executive or, if the Executive has died, to the Executive's estate, in a single payment or delivery (as applicable) all entitlements so delayed, and in the case of cash payments, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(d) In the case of any amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement that may be treated as payable in the form of"a series of installment payments," as

defined in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii), Executive's right to receive such payments shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments for purposes of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).

9.13 280G Parachute Payments. Notwithstanding any other agreement between the Company and the Executive, in the event that any payment or benefits provided to Executive (whether made or provided pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code ("Parachute Payments") and would be subject to the tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Executive will be entitled to receive either (A) the full amount of the Parachute Payments, or (B) the maximum amount that may be provided to Executive without resulting in any portion of such Parachute Payments being subject to such Excise Tax, whichever of clauses (A) and (B), after taking into account applicable federal, state, and local taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by the Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest portion of the Parachute Payments. Any reduction of the Parachute Payments pursuant to the foregoing shall occur in the following order: (1) the Cash Incentive Bonus or any other cash payment under any retention bonus agreement or similar agreement, (2) any cash severance payable by reference to the Executive's base salary and annual bonus; (3) any other cash amount payable to the Executive; (4) any benefit valued as a "parachute payment" (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code); and (5) acceleration of vesting of any equity award. Any determination required under this Section 9.13 shall be made in writing by the independent public accountants of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes upon the Company and the Executive. For purposes of making any calculation required by this Section 9.13, such accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good-faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.
