Employee’s entitlement to the benefits provided in subsections 5.2(c) (ii) and (iii) is contingent on Employee signing a Separation Agreement and General Release provided by the Company within a reasonable period of time following the date the Separation Agreement and General Release is provided to Employee. “Change of Control Severance Benefit” means a lump-sum payment, less required tax withholding, equal to one and one-half times the Employee’s Annual Base Compensation at the time of termination, plus one (1) times the Incentive Compensation Target at the time of termination. The Change of Control Severance Benefit shall be paid within thirty days from the date the executed Separation Agreement and General Release is received by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the Compensation Committee determines that the Employee is a Specified Employee then his Change of Control Severance Benefit due under this paragraph (c) shall be made no earlier than the six (6) month anniversary of the Triggering Event or upon the death of the Employee, if earlier, pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if and to the extent that any payments and rights provided under this Agreement would cause Employee to be subject to excise tax under Section 280G or Section 4999 of the Code, if the corresponding section(s) of any future federal tax law, then the amount of the payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of any such excise tax.

8
