respective affiliates or, except as otherwise governed by the terms of
employment contract between the Company or its affiliates and Employee, on the

(f)    Waiver.  The failure of any party to this Agreement to enforce any
provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be construed as a
waiver of any such provision or provisions, nor prevent any such party from
thereafter enforcing each and every other provision of this Agreement.  The
rights granted the parties to this Agreement herein are cumulative and shall not
constitute a waiver of any such party’s right to assert all other legal remedies
available to it under the circumstances.
(g)    Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be illegal or
invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect the
remaining provisions of the Agreement, but such provision will be fully
severable and the Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or
invalid provision had never been included herein.
(h)    Application of Section 409A.  The amounts payable pursuant to this
Agreement are intended to be exempt from or to otherwise comply with
Section 409A of the Code, and this Agreement shall be administered, construed
and interpreted in such manner.  For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each
installment payment provided under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate
payment.

Company, the Company, the Partnership or any agent or affiliate of any of the
foregoing provides or has provided any tax advice to Employee or any other
person who may claim through or on behalf of Employee or makes or has made any
assurance, commitment or guarantee that any federal, state, local or other tax
treatment will (or will not) apply or be available to Employee or other person
who may claim through or on behalf of Employee with respect to this Agreement,
including with respect to Section 3 hereof, or assumes any obligation or
liability or responsibility with respect to any tax or associated liabilities
(including penalties and interest) to which the Employee or any other person who
may claim through or on behalf of Employee may be subject.
