(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, with the same effect as if both parties had signed the same document. All such counterparts shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(1) Directors and Officers Insurance/Indemnification. During the Employment Period, the Company shall maintain Executive as an insured party on directors' and officers' insurance maintained by the Company for the benefit of its directors and officers. Either through its directors and officers insurance policy and pursuant to the terms thereof or, if such insurance is not available, otherwise, the Company will indemnify and hold Executive harmless against any liability, damage, cost or expense incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding to which Executive is a party, or threat thereof, by reason of his being or having been an officer or director of the Company or any affiliate of the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply if Executive is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have acted against the interests of the Company with gross negligence, gross misconduct, or gross malfeasance. Promptly after receipt by Executive of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) or threat thereof, Executive shall, if a claim covered by this Section 12(1) is to be made or is threatened against Executive, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement or threat thereof and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent ,the Company so desires to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Company and approved by Executive (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Executive (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, if, and only if, representation of Executive by the counsel retained by the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between Executive and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Executive's failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement or threat of any action for which Executive seeks indemnification under this Section 12(1), if prejudicial to the Company's ability to defend such action, shall relieve the Company of any liability to Executive under this Agreement.

13. Section 409A of the Code

During any period that payment or payments to Executive are deferred pursuant to the foregoing, Executive shall be entitled to interest on the deferred payment or payments at a per annum rate equal to the highest rate of interest applicable to six (6) month money market accounts offered by the following institutions: Citibank N.A., Xxxxx Fargo Bank, NA., or Bank of America, on the date of such “separation from service.” Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, any payments which would have otherwise been made during that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this Section 13 (together with accrued interest thereon) shall be paid to Executive or Executive's beneficiary hi one lump sum.

(b) It is intended that this Agreement comply with or be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and guidance of general applicability issued thereunder so as to not subject Executive to the payment of additional interest and taxes under Section 409A of the Code, and in furtherance of this intent, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions.
