This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as may be amended, and the regulations and guidance

from Section 409A under the &ldquo;short term deferral&rdquo; exemption, to the maximum extent applicable, and then under the &ldquo;separation
pay&rdquo; exemption, to the maximum extent applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, payments may only
be made under this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A, to the extent applicable. As used in the Agreement,
the term &ldquo;termination of employment,&rdquo; &ldquo;resignation&rdquo; or words of similar import shall mean Executive&rsquo;s separation
from service with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A. In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar
year of a payment. For purposes of Section 409A, each payment hereunder shall be treated as a separate payment and the right to a series
of payments shall be treated as the right to a series of separate payments. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the

paid within six (6) months after such separation from service, the amount shall accrue without interest and shall be paid the first business
day after the end of such six-month period, or, if earlier, within sixty (60) days following Executive&rsquo;s death. If any payments
are postponed due to such requirements, such postponed amounts will be paid in a lump sum to Executive on the first payroll date that
