(e)Death or Disability.  Subject to Section 6(f) and continued compliance with the Restrictive Covenants (to the extent applicable), in the event of the Employee’s termination of employment hereunder as a result of the Employee’s death or Disability, in addition to the amounts set forth in Section 6(a), the Employee (or the Employee’s estate) shall also be entitled to the Severance Benefits described in Section 6(c).

The Employee represents and warrants that the Employee is under no contractual or other obligation that would prevent the Employee from accepting the Employer’s offer of employment as set forth herein.  
	16.	Entire Agreement.  

This Agreement is intended by the parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the employment of the Employee by the Employer and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement (including the Prior Agreement and any term sheet or similar agreement entered into between the Employer and the Employee).  The parties further intend that this Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of its terms and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial, administrative, or other legal proceeding to vary the terms of this Agreement. 
	17.	No Representations.

Any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) which is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction and subject to this Section 19, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions thereof in such jurisdiction or rendering such provision or any other provision of this Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.  If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable.  No waiver of any provision or violation of this Agreement by the Employer shall be implied by the Employer’s forbearance or failure to take action.  The expiration or termination of the Employment Period and this Agreement shall not impair the rights or obligations of any party hereto which shall have accrued hereunder prior to such expiration or termination.

	26.	Interpretation.  

Descriptive headings are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.  Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice-versa.  The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and other compounds of the word “here” shall refer to the entire Agreement and not to any particular provision hereof.  The use herein of the word “including” following any general statement, term or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation”, “but not limited to”, or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or matter.  The word “or” as used herein is not exclusive and is deemed to have the meaning “and/or.”  Unless the context requires otherwise, all references herein to a law, agreement, instrument or other document shall be deemed to refer to such law, agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented, modified and restated from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof.  Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against any party, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  This Agreement has been reviewed by each of the parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of the parties hereto.
	27.	Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation.  

The parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Employer determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be immediately taxable to the Employee under Section 409A, the Employer may (a) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Employer determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement or (b) take such other actions as the Employer determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.  For purposes of Section 409A, each payment made under this Agreement shall be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of the Section 409A, and references herein to the Employee’s “termination of employment” shall refer to the Employee’s separation from service with the Employer within the meaning of Section 409A.  To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefits due to the Employee under this Agreement constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A, any such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall be paid to the Employee in a manner consistent with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).
	28.	Section 280G.

To the extent that the exemption under Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code is unavailable at the time of a Change in Control because any Employer stock is readily tradeable on an established securities market or otherwise, if it is determined by a nationally recognized U.S. public accounting firm selected by the Employer that any payment or benefit in the nature of compensation made or 



provided to the Employee in connection with the Employee’s employment with the Employer (collectively, “Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Parachute Tax”), then the Employee will be entitled to receive either (a) the full amount of the Payments, or (b) a portion of the Payments having a value equal to $1 less than three times the Employee’s “base amount” (as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(3)(A) of the Code), whichever of clauses (a) and (b), after taking into account applicable federal, state, and local income and employment taxes and the Parachute Tax, results in the receipt by the Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest portion of the Payments.
	29.	Waiver of Jury Trial.  

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
