3.            If you
die prior to the time all payments due to you under these Change in Control provisions have been made, then as soon as practicable
after your death (but in no event later than one month after), the Company shall pay in a lump sum all sums not paid to you prior
to your death. Payment shall be made to your designated beneficiary or beneficiaries named under the 401(k) plan maintained by
the Company on the date of your death. If no such beneficiary is named, such sums shall be paid to your estate.


 


4.            Payments
made pursuant to these Change in Control provisions are intended to be exempt from Code §409A as separation pay to the greatest
extent possible. Accordingly, all provisions herein shall be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent, but that, to
the extent necessary the Company shall amend any such provision pertaining to such payment to comply with Code §409A, and
the regulations thereunder, in the least restrictive manner necessary without any diminution in the value of the payments to you.
