accrued but unpaid compensation (including accrued but unused vacation leave) as
of the date of such termination (such payment shall be made within the time

following the date of termination).

to a cash lump sum payment an amount equal to (1) all previously accrued but
unpaid compensation (including accrued but unused vacation leave) as of the date

ninety (90) days or longer, or for one hundred and twenty (120) days or more in
any twelve (12) month period.
 
3.2.3     Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, if Employee is a "specified employee" as defined in Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), he shall not be
entitled to any payments upon a termination of Employee's employment under any
arrangement that constitutes "nonqualified deferred compensation" under Section
409A until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after Employee's
separation from service (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and
the regulations and other published guidance hereunder) for any reason other
than death, or (ii) the date of Employee's death. After the date of termination,
Employee shall have no duties or responsibilities that are inconsistent with
having a separation from service as of such date. Any amounts otherwise payable
to Employee following a termination of employment that are not so paid by reason
of this Section 3.2.3 shall be paid promptly following, and in any event within
fifteen (15) days following, the date that is six (6) months after Employee's
separation from service (or, if  earlier, the date of Employee's death).

3.2.4       Termination upon a Change of Control. Within sixty (60) days prior
to or ninety (90) days after the effective date of a Change of Control (as
defined below), either RBT or Employee may, upon thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to the other, terminate Employee's employment. In the event of any such
termination of Employee's employment (and regardless of whether such termination
occurs with or without such thirty (30) day notice), RBT shall pay to Employee
(a) the severance and other benefits set forth in Section 3.2.2, and (b) an
additional severance payment of an amount equal to the Base Salary that Employee
would have been paid had he remained employed with RBT for the one hundred and
eighty (180) day period beginning immediately after such termination, but
Employee shall be entitled to such additional severance payment under this part
(b) only if Employee executes and delivers to RBT a general release of form and
content reasonably acceptable to RBT. Such payment shall be payable in
accordance with applicable law, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
following the date of termination (and Employee's execution and delivery of a
general release, in the case of payments to be made under Section 3.2.2(a)(2),
if applicable, or part (b) of this Section 3.2.4). For the purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Change of Control" shall mean any of the following events:
(x) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of RBT with any other entity
which results in the voting securities of RBT outstanding immediately prior
thereto failing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being
converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty
percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of
RBT or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or
consolidation, or (y) the sale or other transfer in one or more transactions not
in the ordinary course of RBT's business or personal property assets
constituting more than fifty percent (50%) of the personal property assets of
