WHEREAS, the amendments contemplated hereby are intended to bring the timing of, and certain procedural aspects with respect to, certain payments under the Employment Agreement into compliance with Section 409A but not to otherwise affect Executive’s right to such payments.

“Notwithstanding anything in your Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any payments of

1

money or other benefits due to you under your Agreement could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner determined by the Company that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax.  To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefits due to you under your Agreement constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, any such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall be paid to you in a manner consistent with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).  Any cash payment made on an after-tax basis that involves a reimbursement of taxes, including any that may be required under Section 8 of your Agreement, shall  be made as soon as the Company receives the information necessary for such purpose, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year following the year other taxes are remitted to the taxing authority.  Each payment made under your Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  The Company makes no representations regarding the tax implications of the compensation and benefits to be paid to you under the Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance and regulations thereunder.”
