DAYS IN SUCH YEAR THAT HAD ELAPSED AS OF THE DATE OF TERMINATION.

 

(II)           CORPORATION SHALL PAY TO OFFICER, AT THE TIME SPECIFIED IN
SECTION 4(E), A LUMP SUM CASH SEVERANCE PAYMENT EQUAL TO THE SUM OF (X) THREE
(3) TIMES OFFICER’S BASE SALARY (AT THE GREATER OF THE HIGHEST ANNUALIZED RATE
IN EFFECT IN THE YEAR PRECEDING THE DATE OF TERMINATION OR THE YEAR IN WHICH THE
DATE OF TERMINATION OCCURS), PLUS (Y) THREE (3) TIMES THE GREATER OF OFFICER’S
TARGET BONUS FOR THE YEAR IN WHICH THE DATE OF TERMINATION OCCURS OR THE HIGHEST
ANNUAL BONUS RECEIVED BY OFFICER IN THE THREE (3) YEARS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE

TERMINATION, CORPORATION SHALL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE OFFICER AND OFFICER’S
ELIGIBLE FAMILY MEMBERS, BASED ON THE COST SHARING ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN OFFICER

HEALTH BENEFITS AT LEAST EQUAL IN THE AGGREGATE TO THOSE WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN
PROVIDED TO OFFICER AND OFFICER’S ELIGIBLE FAMILY MEMBERS IF OFFICER’S
EMPLOYMENT HAD NOT BEEN TERMINATED OR, IF MORE FAVORABLE TO OFFICER, AS IN
EFFECT GENERALLY AT ANY TIME THEREAFTER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF OFFICER
BECOMES RE-EMPLOYED WITH ANOTHER EMPLOYER AND HE AND HIS DEPENDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE
TO RECEIVE MEDICAL AND DENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS UNDER ANOTHER EMPLOYER’S PLANS,
CORPORATION’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION 4(B)(III) SHALL BE REDUCED TO THE
EXTENT COMPARABLE BENEFITS WITH RESPECT TO OFFICER AND HIS DEPENDENTS ARE
ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY OFFICER FOLLOWING OFFICER’S TERMINATION, AND ANY SUCH
BENEFITS ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY OFFICER SHALL BE REPORTED TO CORPORATION.  IN THE
EVENT OFFICER AND HIS DEPENDENTS ARE OR BECOME INELIGIBLE UNDER THE TERMS OF
SUCH BENEFIT PLANS OR PROGRAMS TO CONTINUE TO BE SO COVERED THROUGH THE END OF
THE THREE-YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING THE DATE OF TERMINATION, IN SUCH EVENT,
CORPORATION SHALL PROVIDE OFFICER AND HIS DEPENDENTS WITH SUBSTANTIALLY
EQUIVALENT COVERAGE THROUGH OTHER SOURCES OR SHALL PROVIDE OFFICER WITH A LUMP
SUM PAYMENT IN SUCH AMOUNT THAT, AFTER ALL TAXES ON THAT AMOUNT, SHALL BE EQUAL
TO THE COST TO OFFICER OF PROVIDING OFFICER SUCH BENEFIT COVERAGE UNTIL THE END

BASIS USING THE INTEREST RATE PROVIDED IN SECTION 1274(B)(2)(B) OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”) ON THE DATE OF TERMINATION (THE
“INTEREST RATE”).  IN ADDITION, DURING THE THREE-YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING THE DATE
OF TERMINATION, CORPORATION SHALL CONTINUE TO PAY THE PREMIUMS FOR THE TERM LIFE
INSURANCE POLICY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 3(C) ABOVE.  AT THE END OF THE THREE-YEAR
PERIOD FOLLOWING THE DATE OF TERMINATION, OFFICER, OFFICER’S SPOUSE AND
OFFICER’S DEPENDENTS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONTINUATION COVERAGE PURSUANT TO
SECTION 4980B OF THE CODE, SECTIONS 601-608 OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME
SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED, AND UNDER ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, TO THE
EXTENT REQUIRED BY SUCH LAWS, AS IF OFFICER HAD THEN TERMINATED EMPLOYMENT WITH
CORPORATION.

 

(IV)          OFFICER SHALL BE FULLY VESTED IN OFFICER’S ACCRUED BENEFITS UNDER
ANY QUALIFIED OR NONQUALIFIED PENSION, PROFIT SHARING, DEFERRED COMPENSATION OR
SUPPLEMENTAL PLANS MAINTAINED BY CORPORATION FOR OFFICER’S BENEFIT, EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT THE ACCELERATION OF VESTING OF SUCH BENEFITS WOULD VIOLATE ANY
APPLICABLE LAW OR REQUIRE CORPORATION TO ACCELERATE THE VESTING OF THE ACCRUED
BENEFITS OF ALL PARTICIPANTS IN SUCH PLAN OR PLANS, IN WHICH CASE CORPORATION
SHALL PAY OFFICER A PAYMENT AT THE TIME SUCH BENEFIT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN
PAID PURSUANT TO THE APPLICABLE PLAN IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE VALUE OF SUCH
ACCRUED BENEFITS THAT WOULD HAVE BECOME VESTED BUT FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE
PRECEDING CLAUSE, PLUS CORPORATION SHALL PAY OFFICER AT THE TIME SPECIFIED IN
SECTION 4(E) AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE PRESENT VALUE (CALCULATED USING THE INTEREST
RATE) OF THE AMOUNTS CORPORATION WOULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO OFFICER’S ACCOUNT
UNDER CORPORATION’S 401(K) PLAN AS A MATCHING CONTRIBUTION HAD OFFICER REMAINED
EMPLOYED BY CORPORATION FOR THREE (3) YEARS AFTER OFFICER’S DATE OF TERMINATION
AND HAD OFFICER MADE THE MAXIMUM ELECTED DEFERRAL CONTRIBUTIONS (BASED ON THE

(V)           OFFICER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ACCELERATED VESTING AS OF THE DATE OF
TERMINATION OF ANY THEN-OUTSTANDING AWARDS GRANTED TO OFFICER UNDER
CORPORATION’S STOCK AND OTHER EQUITY AND LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS (TO THE
EXTENT SUCH AWARDS HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY BECOME VESTED).  ANY STOCK OPTIONS THAT
ARE THEN VESTED (INCLUDING ANY THAT BECOME VESTED PURSUANT TO THE PRECEDING
SENTENCE) AND THAT ARE GRANTED TO OFFICER ON OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE SHALL,
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF ANY APPLICABLE PLAN OR AWARD AGREEMENT, REMAIN
EXERCISABLE UNTIL THE LATER OF (X) THREE (3) YEARS AFTER THE DATE OF TERMINATION
OR (Y) THE DATE SPECIFIED IN THE APPLICABLE PLAN OR AWARD AGREEMENT; PROVIDED IN
NO EVENT SHALL ANY STOCK OPTION BE EXERCISABLE BEYOND ITS ORIGINAL EXPIRATION
DATE.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING TWO SENTENCES, ANY EQUITY-BASED AWARDS THAT
ARE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE AND/OR VESTING REQUIREMENTS BASED ON THE SATISFACTION
OF PERFORMANCE-BASED CRITERIA, TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH AWARDS ARE OUTSTANDING AS
OF THE DATE OF TERMINATION, SHALL CONTINUE TO BE GOVERNED BY THE PROVISIONS OF
THE APPLICABLE AWARD AGREEMENT IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT TO
THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH THEN-OUTSTANDING EQUITY-BASED AWARDS ARE SUBJECT TO
FORFEITURE AND/OR VESTING REQUIREMENTS BASED ON THE PASSAGE OF TIME, SUCH AWARDS
SHALL BE FULLY ACCELERATED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TIME-BASED FORFEITURE AND/OR
VESTING PROVISIONS.

 

(VI)          CORPORATION SHALL FURNISH OFFICER FOR SIX (6) YEARS FOLLOWING THE
DATE OF TERMINATION (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO WHETHER THE EMPLOYMENT PERIOD
CONTINUES IN EFFECT) WITH DIRECTORS’ AND OFFICERS’ LIABILITY INSURANCE INSURING
OFFICER AGAINST INSURABLE EVENTS WHICH OCCUR OR HAVE OCCURRED WHILE OFFICER WAS
A DIRECTOR OR OFFICER OF CORPORATION, SUCH INSURANCE TO HAVE POLICY LIMITS
AGGREGATING NOT LESS THAN THE AMOUNT IN EFFECT IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE CHANGE
IN CONTROL, AND OTHERWISE TO BE IN SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME FORM AND TO CONTAIN
SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EXCEPTIONS AS THE LIABILITY

FROM TIME TO TIME, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EXCEPTIONS
SHALL NOT BE, IN THE AGGREGATE, MATERIALLY LESS FAVORABLE TO OFFICER THAN THOSE
IN EFFECT ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT IF THE AGGREGATE ANNUAL
PREMIUMS FOR SUCH INSURANCE AT ANY TIME DURING SUCH PERIOD EXCEED ONE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY PERCENT (150%) OF THE PER ANNUM RATE OF PREMIUM CURRENTLY PAID BY
CORPORATION FOR SUCH INSURANCE, THEN CORPORATION SHALL PROVIDE THE MAXIMUM
COVERAGE THAT WILL THEN BE AVAILABLE AT AN ANNUAL PREMIUM EQUAL TO ONE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY PERCENT (150%) OF SUCH RATE.

 

(VII)         IN ANY SITUATION WHERE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW CORPORATION HAS THE
POWER TO INDEMNIFY (OR ADVANCE EXPENSES TO) OFFICER IN RESPECT OF ANY JUDGMENTS,
FINES, SETTLEMENTS, LOSS; COST OR EXPENSE (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) OF ANY
NATURE RELATED TO OR ARISING OUT OF OFFICER’S ACTIVITIES AS AN AGENT, EMPLOYEE,
OFFICER OR DIRECTOR OF CORPORATION OR IN ANY OTHER CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF OR AT
THE REQUEST OF CORPORATION, CORPORATION SHALL PROMPTLY ON WRITTEN REQUEST,
INDEMNIFY (AND ADVANCE EXPENSES TO) OFFICER TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MAKING SUCH FINDINGS AND
DETERMINATIONS AND TAKING ANY AND ALL SUCH ACTIONS AS CORPORATION MAY, UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, BE PERMITTED TO HAVE THE DISCRETION TO TAKE SO AS TO EFFECTUATE
SUCH INDEMNIFICATION OR ADVANCEMENT.  SUCH AGREEMENT BY CORPORATION SHALL NOT BE
DEEMED TO IMPAIR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION OF CORPORATION RESPECTING OFFICER’S

ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OR PROMISE OF CORPORATION OR UNDER ANY CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
DOCUMENT OF CORPORATION OR UNDER STATUTE OR APPLICABLE LAW.

(VIII)        (A)          ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY
NOTWITHSTANDING, IF IT SHALL BE DETERMINED THAT ANY PAYMENT, ENTITLEMENT,
BENEFIT OR DISTRIBUTION TO OFFICER OR FOR OFFICER’S BENEFIT (WHETHER PAID OR
PAYABLE OR DISTRIBUTED OR DISTRIBUTABLE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR OTHERWISE AND WHETHER PURSUANT TO OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER AGREEMENT,
POLICY, PLAN, PROGRAM OR ARRANGEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY STOCK
OPTION, RESTRICTED STOCK, RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT, STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT OR
SIMILAR RIGHT, OR THE LAPSE OR TERMINATION OF ANY RESTRICTION ON OR THE VESTING
OR EXERCISABILITY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING) (THE “PAYMENTS”) WOULD BE SUBJECT TO
THE EXCISE TAX IMPOSED BY SECTION 4999 OF THE CODE OR TO ANY SIMILAR TAX IMPOSED
BY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW OR ANY INTEREST OR PENALTIES IMPOSED WITH RESPECT
TO SUCH EXCISE OR OTHER SIMILAR TAX (SUCH TAX OR TAXES, TOGETHER WITH ANY SUCH
INTEREST OR PENALTIES, ARE COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS THE “EXCISE TAX”), THEN
OFFICER SHALL, BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE FROM CORPORATION AN ADDITIONAL PAYMENT
(THE “GROSS-UP PAYMENT”) IN AN AMOUNT SUCH THAT THE NET AMOUNT OF THE PAYMENTS
AND THE GROSS-UP PAYMENT RETAINED BY OFFICER AFTER THE CALCULATION AND DEDUCTION
OF ALL EXCISE TAXES (INCLUDING ANY INTEREST OR PENALTIES IMPOSED WITH RESPECT TO
SUCH TAXES) ON THE PAYMENT AND ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL INCOME TAX,
EMPLOYMENT TAX AND EXCISE TAX (INCLUDING ANY INTEREST OR PENALTIES IMPOSED WITH
RESPECT TO SUCH TAXES) ON THE GROSS-UP PAYMENT PROVIDED FOR IN THIS
SECTION 4(B)(VIII), AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ANY LOST OR REDUCED TAX DEDUCTIONS
ON ACCOUNT OF THE GROSS-UP PAYMENT, SHALL BE EQUAL TO THE PAYMENTS;

 

(B)   All determinations required to be made under this Section 4(b)(viii),
including whether and when the Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of
such Gross-Up Payment, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such
determinations shall be made by the Accountants (as defined below) which shall
provide Officer and Corporation with detailed supporting calculations with
respect to such Gross-Up Payment within fifteen (15) business days of the
receipt of notice from Officer or Corporation that Officer has received or will
receive a Payment.  For purposes of making the determinations and calculations
required herein; the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and
approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good
faith interpretations concerning the application of Section 280G and 4999 of the
Code, provided that the Accountant’s determinations must be made on the basis of
“substantial authority” (within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code).  For
the purposes of this Section 4(b)(viii), the “Accountants” shall mean
Corporation’s independent certified public accountants serving immediately prior
to the Change in Control to the extent they may lawfully perform such services. 
In the event that the Accountants are prohibited from providing such services or
are also serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group
effecting the Change in Control, Officer shall appoint another nationally
recognized public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder
(which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accountants hereunder). 
All fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne solely by Corporation.

 

(C)   For the purposes of determining whether any of the Payments will be
subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, such Payments will
be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined
under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise
Tax, unless and except to the extent that in the opinion of the Accountants such
Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments” or
represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered (within the

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code) in excess of the “base amount,” or
such “parachute payments” are otherwise not subject to such Excise Tax.  For
purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Officer shall be
deemed to pay Federal income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of
Federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is
to be made and to pay any applicable state and local income taxes at the highest
applicable marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up
Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income taxes
which could be obtained from the deduction of such state or local taxes if paid
in such year (determined without regard to limitations on deductions based upon
the amount of Officer’s adjusted gross income); and to have otherwise allowable
deductions for Federal, state and local income tax purposes at least equal to
those disallowed because of the inclusion of the Gross-Up Payment in Officer’s
adjusted gross income.  To the extent practicable, any Gross-Up Payment with
respect to any Payment shall be paid by Corporation at the time Officer is
entitled to receive the Payments and in no event will any Gross-Up Payment be
paid later than five days after the receipt by Officer of the Accountant’s
determination.  Any determination by the Accountants shall be binding upon
Corporation and Officer.

 

(D)  As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code
at the time of the initial determination by the Accountants hereunder, it is
possible that the Gross-Up Payment made will have been an amount less than
Corporation should have paid pursuant to this Section 4(b)(viii) (the
“Underpayment”).  In the event that Corporation exhausts its remedies pursuant
to Section 4(b)(viii)(F) and Officer is required to make a payment of any Excise
Tax, the Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Corporation to or for Officer’s
benefit;

 

(E)   Officer and Corporation shall each provide the Accountants access to and
copies of any books, records and documents in the possession of Corporation or
Officer, as the case may be, reasonably requested by the Accountants, and
otherwise cooperate with the Accountants in connection with the preparation and
issuance of the determination contemplated by this Section 4(b)(viii); and

 

(F)   Officer shall notify Corporation in writing of any claim by the Internal
Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by Corporation of
the Gross-Up Payment.  Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable
after Officer is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise Corporation
of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be
paid.  Officer shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day
period following the date on which Officer give such notice to Corporation (or
such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes, interest
and/or penalties with respect to such claim is due).  If Corporation notifies
Officer in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to
contest such claim, Officer shall:

 

•              give Corporation any information reasonably requested by
Corporation relating to such claim;

 

•              take such action in connection with contesting such claim as
Corporation shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including,
without limitation,

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney
reasonably selected by Corporation;

 

•              cooperate with Corporation in good faith in order to effectively
contest such claim; and

 

•              permit Corporation to participate in any proceedings relating to
such claims; provided, however, that Corporation shall bear and pay directly all
costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in
connection with such contest and shall indemnify Officer for and hold Officer
harmless from, on an after-tax basis, any Excise Tax or income tax or other tax
(including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of
such representation and payment of all related costs and expenses.  Without
limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b)(viii), Corporation shall
control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole
option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings,
hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and
may, at its sole option, either direct Officer to pay the tax claimed and sue
for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Officer agrees
to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal,
in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as
Corporation shall determine; provided, however, that if Corporation directs
Officer to pay such claim and sue for a refund, Corporation shall make such
payment on behalf of Officer, and shall indemnify Officer for and hold Officer
harmless from, on an after-tax basis, any Excise Tax or income or other tax
(including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to
such payment or with respect to any imputed income in connection with such
payment, but shall be entitled to any refund received by or on behalf of Officer
because of the claim Corporation has directed him to pay; provided, further,
that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of
taxes for the taxable year of Officer with respect to which such contested
amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. 
Furthermore, Corporation’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues
with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Officer
shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue
raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority;

 

(C)           TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE OR TERMINATION FOR GOOD REASON. 
IF, DURING THE EMPLOYMENT PERIOD (BUT NOT FOLLOWING THE EXPIRATION OF THE

ARE THEN VESTED (INCLUDING ANY THAT BECOME VESTED PURSUANT TO THE PRECEDING
SENTENCE) AND THAT ARE GRANTED TO OFFICER ON OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE SHALL,
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF ANY APPLICABLE PLAN OR AWARD AGREEMENT, REMAIN
EXERCISABLE UNTIL THE LATER OF (X) THREE (3) YEARS AFTER THE DATE OF TERMINATION
OR (Y) THE DATE SPECIFIED IN THE APPLICABLE PLAN OR AWARD AGREEMENT; PROVIDED IN
NO EVENT SHALL ANY STOCK OPTION BE EXERCISABLE BEYOND ITS ORIGINAL EXPIRATION

SHALL BE FULLY ACCELERATED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TIME-BASED FORFEITURE AND/OR
VESTING PROVISIONS.

 

(IV)          OFFICER AND HIS FAMILY MEMBERS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONTINUATION
OF MEDICAL AND DENTAL BENEFITS ON THE SAME BASIS AS PROVIDED IN
SECTION 4(B)(III), EXCEPT THE MAXIMUM TIME PERIOD FOR SUCH COVERAGE SHALL BE TWO
YEARS FOLLOWING THE DATE OF TERMINATION.  IN ADDITION, DURING THE TWO-YEAR

5.             COVENANTS.

 

(A)           CONFIDENTIALITY.  OFFICER HEREBY AGREES THAT OFFICER SHALL NOT AT
ANY TIME (WHETHER DURING OR AFTER OFFICER’S EMPLOYMENT WITH CORPORATION),
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OTHER THAN IN THE COURSE OF OFFICER’S DUTIES HEREUNDER,
DISCLOSE OR MAKE AVAILABLE TO ANY PERSON, FIRM, CORPORATION, ASSOCIATION OR
OTHER ENTITY FOR ANY REASON OR PURPOSE WHATSOEVER, ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
(AS DEFINED BELOW); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS SECTION 5(A) SHALL NOT APPLY
WHEN (I) DISCLOSURE IS REQUIRED BY LAW OR BY ANY COURT, ARBITRATOR, MEDIATOR OR
ADMINISTRATIVE OR LEGISLATIVE BODY (INCLUDING ANY COMMITTEE THEREOF) WITH ACTUAL
OR APPARENT JURISDICTION TO ORDER OFFICER TO DISCLOSE OR MAKE AVAILABLE SUCH
INFORMATION (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT OFFICER SHALL PROMPTLY NOTIFY CORPORATION
IN WRITING UPON RECEIVING A REQUEST FOR SUCH INFORMATION), OR (II) WITH RESPECT
TO ANY OTHER LITIGATION, ARBITRATION OR MEDIATION INVOLVING THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN OFFICER AND CORPORATION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH AGREEMENTS.  OFFICER AGREES THAT, UPON TERMINATION OF
OFFICER’S EMPLOYMENT WITH CORPORATION, ALL CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IN OFFICER’S
POSSESSION THAT IS IN WRITTEN OR OTHER TANGIBLE FORM (TOGETHER WITH ALL COPIES
OR DUPLICATES THEREOF, INCLUDING COMPUTER FILES) SHALL BE RETURNED TO
CORPORATION AND SHALL NOT BE RETAINED BY OFFICER OR FURNISHED TO ANY THIRD
PARTY, IN ANY FORM EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT OFFICER
SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO TREAT AS CONFIDENTIAL, OR RETURN TO CORPORATION COPIES
OF ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION THAT (A) WAS PUBLICLY KNOWN AT THE TIME OF
DISCLOSURE TO OFFICER, (B) BECOMES PUBLICLY KNOWN OR AVAILABLE THEREAFTER OTHER
THAN BY ANY MEANS IN VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DUTY OWED TO
CORPORATION BY OFFICER, OR (C) IS LAWFULLY DISCLOSED TO OFFICER BY A THIRD

SERVICES PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE UNIQUE AND EXTRAORDINARY, AND THAT
OFFICER WILL HAVE ACCESS TO AND CONTROL OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OF

CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE INTERPRETATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY ARRANGEMENTS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR CONTEMPLATED IN THIS
AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR INVALIDITY THEREOF, OR ANY OTHER DISPUTE
BETWEEN OFFICER AND CORPORATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO OFFICER’S
EMPLOYMENT BY CORPORATION (EACH OF THE FOREGOING, A “DISPUTE”), SHALL BE SETTLED
BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE JAMS/ENDISPUTE IN LOS
ANGELES, CALIFORNIA IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS THEN EXISTING JAMS/ENDISPUTE
ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES FOR EMPLOYMENT DISPUTES.  IN THE EVENT OF SUCH
AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING, OFFICER AND CORPORATION SHALL SELECT A MUTUALLY
ACCEPTABLE NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR FROM AMONG THE JAMS/ENDISPUTE PANEL OF
ARBITRATORS.  IN THE EVENT OFFICER AND CORPORATION CANNOT AGREE ON AN
ARBITRATOR, THE ADMINISTRATOR OF JAMS/ENDISPUTE WILL APPOINT AN ARBITRATOR. 
NEITHER OFFICER NOR CORPORATION NOR THE ARBITRATOR SHALL DISCLOSE THE EXISTENCE,
CONTENT, OR RESULTS OF ANY ARBITRATION HEREUNDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN
CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES.  EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT
SHALL GOVERN THE INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT AND ALL PROCEEDINGS UNDER THIS
SECTION 6(H)(I).  THE ARBITRATOR SHALL APPLY THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW (AND THE LAW OF
REMEDIES, IF APPLICABLE) OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, OR FEDERAL LAW, OR BOTH, AS
APPLICABLE AND THE ARBITRATOR IS WITHOUT JURISDICTION TO APPLY ANY DIFFERENT
SUBSTANTIVE LAW.  THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION

(II)           ADVANCE OF PAYMENT.  IN THE EVENT OF ANY ARBITRATION BROUGHT IN
GOOD FAITH WHICH INVOLVES A DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER OFFICER IS ENTITLED TO
THE BENEFITS CONTEMPLATED BY SECTION 4(B) OR 4(C), CORPORATION SHALL ADVANCE THE
ADVANCEMENT AMOUNT TO OFFICER WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER CORPORATION RECEIVES
FROM OFFICER A WRITTEN AGREEMENT (IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO
CORPORATION) PURSUANT TO WHICH OFFICER AGREES THAT IF THE ARBITRATION IS NOT
RESOLVED IN OFFICER’S FAVOR, OFFICER SHALL PROMPTLY REPAY TO CORPORATION THE
ENTIRE ADVANCEMENT AMOUNT PLUS INTEREST AT THE INTEREST RATE, COMPOUNDED
QUARTERLY (BUT SUBJECT TO OFFSET FOR ANY AMOUNTS AND/OR ENTITLEMENTS THAT THE
ARBITRATOR DEEMS OFFICER IS ENTITLED TO UNDER THIS AGREEMENT) AND IN ALL CASES
PROVIDED THAT, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL TO CORPORATION, SUCH ARRANGEMENT WILL
NOT VIOLATE ANY PROVISION OF LAW APPLICABLE TO CORPORATION.  IN THE EVENT THAT

BY SECTION 4(B) OR 4(C), THEN THE CORPORATION SHALL PROMPTLY PAY TO OFFICER THE

FROM THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE ARBITRATION TO THE DATE OF SUCH PAYMENT.  IN NO
EVENT SHALL OFFICER BE ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS CONTEMPLATED BY SECTION 4(B) AND
THE BENEFITS CONTEMPLATED BY SECTION 4(C).  IN THE EVENT THERE IS A DISPUTE AS
TO WHETHER OFFICER IS ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS PROVIDED BY SECTION 4(B), THE
“ADVANCEMENT AMOUNT” IS EQUAL TO FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THE AMOUNT OF
CORPORATION’S OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 4(B)(I) AND
SECTION 4(B)(II) (CALCULATED ASSUMING THAT OFFICER WAS ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS
SET FORTH THEREIN).   IN THE EVENT THERE IS A DISPUTE AS TO WHETHER OFFICER IS
ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS PROVIDED BY SECTION 4(C), AND ASSUMING
SECTION 4(B) REASONABLY DOES NOT APPLY, THE “ADVANCEMENT AMOUNT” IS EQUAL TO
FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THE AMOUNT OF CORPORATION’S OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO
SECTION 4(C)(I) AND SECTION 4(C)(II) (CALCULATED ASSUMING THAT OFFICER WAS
ENTITLED TO THE BENEFITS SET FORTH THEREIN).  CORPORATION AND OFFICER AGREE THAT
IT WOULD NOT BE IN GOOD FAITH FOR CORPORATION TO DISPUTE ANY GOOD-FAITH
DETERMINATION BY OFFICER THAT GOOD REASON EXISTS AS TO CIRCUMSTANCES ARISING
UPON, AFTER OR IN CONNECTION WITH A CHANGE IN CONTROL.

UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, CORPORATION SHALL PAY TO OFFICER ALL REASONABLE LEGAL FEES
AND EXPENSES INCURRED BY OFFICER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ALL SUCH FEES AND EXPENSES, IF ANY, INCURRED IN CONTESTING OR
DISPUTING ANY TERMINATION OF OFFICER’S EMPLOYMENT OR IN SEEKING TO OBTAIN OR
ENFORCE ANY RIGHT OR BENEFIT PROVIDED BY THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN CONNECTION WITH
ANY TAX AUDIT OR PROCEEDING TO THE EXTENT ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE APPLICATION OF
SECTION 4999 OF THE CODE TO ANY PAYMENT OR BENEFIT PROVIDED HEREUNDER),
REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF SUCH PROCEEDING; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN THE
EVENT OFFICER COMMENCES SUCH ACTION, OFFICER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER
SUCH FEES AND COSTS IF THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT OFFICER BROUGHT THE CLAIM
IN BAD FAITH OR THE CLAIM WAS FRIVOLOUS.  ANY ATTORNEY’S FEES INCURRED BY
OFFICER SHALL BE PAID BY CORPORATION IN ADVANCE OF THE FINAL DISPOSITION OF SUCH
ACTION OR CHALLENGE, AS SUCH FEES AND EXPENSES ARE INCURRED; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
THAT ANY AWARD AGAINST OFFICER SHALL REQUIRE HIM TO REPAY SUCH AMOUNTS, NET OF
ANY INCOME TAXES PAID OR PAYABLE BY OFFICER WITH RESPECT TO SUCH AMOUNTS, IF
SUCH AMOUNTS ARE INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH AN ACTION COMMENCED BY OFFICER IF
IT IS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED BY THE COURT THAT OFFICER BROUGHT, SUCH ACTION IN
BAD FAITH OR THE CLAIM WAS FRIVOLOUS.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, ANY
PAYMENT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 6(H)(III) IS SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH
SECTION 2-418 OF THE MARYLAND GENERAL CORPORATION LAW.

 

(I)            SEVERABILITY.  SHOULD A COURT OR OTHER BODY OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION, OR AN ARBITRATOR SELECTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 6(H), DETERMINE THAT
ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT IS EXCESSIVE IN SCOPE OR OTHERWISE INVALID OR
UNENFORCEABLE, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE ADJUSTED (BUT IN NO EVENT BEYOND THE
SCOPE AND/OR TIME PERIOD CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT) RATHER THAN VOIDED, IF
POSSIBLE, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES WHEN THEY ENTERED INTO
THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED VALID
AND ENFORCEABLE TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE.

 

(J)            SURVIVAL OF CORPORATION’S OBLIGATIONS.  CORPORATION’S OBLIGATIONS
HEREUNDER SHALL NOT BE TERMINATED BY REASON OF ANY LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION,
BANKRUPTCY, CESSATION OF BUSINESS, OR SIMILAR EVENT RELATING TO CORPORATION. 
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE TERMINATED BY ANY MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OR OTHER
REORGANIZATION OF CORPORATION, INCLUDING A SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION

TO MAKE PAYMENTS OR PROVIDE BENEFITS OR OTHERWISE) OR BY OFFICER.  OFFICER SHALL
BE ENTITLED, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR ANY CORPORATION
PLAN, POLICY, PROGRAM, ARRANGEMENT OR AGREEMENT, TO SELECT OR CHANGE A
BENEFICIARY OR BENEFICIARIES TO RECEIVE ANY COMPENSATION OR BENEFIT PAYABLE OR
PROVIDED TO OFFICER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT FOLLOWING OFFICER’S DEATH BY
GIVING CORPORATION WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF.  IN THE EVENT OF OFFICER’S DEATH OR A
JUDICIAL DETERMINATION OF HIS INCOMPETENCE, REFERENCES IN THIS AGREEMENT TO
OFFICER SHALL BE DEEMED, WHERE APPROPRIATE, TO REFER TO HIS BENEFICIARY, ESTATE
OR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE, AS THE CASE MAY BE AND, IN ALL EVENTS, IN THE CASE OF
OFFICER’S DEATH ANY PAYMENTS OR BENEFITS DUE TO OFFICER THAT REMAIN UNPAID OR

OR, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH DESIGNATION, HIS ESTATE.

 

(K)           SURVIVORSHIP.  THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY
TO CARRY OUT THE INTENTIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDERLYING THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE EMPLOYMENT PERIOD.  FOR

EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT BY THE PARTIES, IT SHALL BE A VALID AND
BINDING OBLIGATION OF CORPORATION, ENFORCEABLE AGAINST IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS
TERMS.  OFFICER HEREBY REPRESENTS TO CORPORATION THAT EXECUTION, DELIVERY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT BY OFFICER AND THE PERFORMANCE BY OFFICER OF
OFFICER’S DUTIES HEREUNDER SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF, OR OTHERWISE

ANYTHING HEREIN LIMIT OR REDUCE SUCH RIGHTS AS OFFICER MAY HAVE UNDER ANY OTHER
AGREEMENT WITH CORPORATION OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES, PROVIDED THAT IN
NO EVENT SHALL OFFICER BE ENTITLED TO DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS OR BENEFITS.

SECTION 409A OF THE CODE, CORPORATION AND OFFICER AGREE TO COOPERATE AND WORK

COMPLY WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE.  IN THE EVENT THAT OFFICER AND CORPORATION
DO NOT AGREE AS TO THE NECESSITY, TIMING OR NATURE OF A PARTICULAR AMENDMENT
INTENDED TO SATISFY SECTION 409A OF THE CODE, REASONABLE DEFERENCE WILL BE GIVEN
TO OFFICER’S REASONABLE INTERPRETATION OF SUCH PROVISIONS.  IN THE EVENT THAT

MAKING OF SUCH PAYMENT OR BENEFIT TO A DATE WHICH IS SIX MONTHS AFTER THE DATE
OF OFFICER’S “SEPARATION FROM SERVICE” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 409A) (OR,

BY A COURT HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE MATTER IN A FINAL ADJUDICATION FROM WHICH
THERE IS NO FURTHER RIGHT OF APPEAL THAT OFFICER IS NOT ENTITLED TO BE
INDEMNIFIED AGAINST SUCH EXPENSES OR OTHER AMOUNTS BY CORPORATION.  TO THE
EXTENT ANY SUCH UNDERTAKING DOES NOT CONDITION REPAYMENT IN THIS MANNER, SUCH
UNDERTAKING SHALL BE INTERPRETED CONSISTENT WITH THIS PARAGRAPH.

 

(R)            INCONSISTENCIES.  IN THE EVENT OF ANY INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN ANY
