6.14Section 409A.  The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement and the Award be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement and the Award shall be interpreted and administered to be in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Participant shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of any payments under this Agreement and the Award which are subject to Section 409A of the Code until the Participant would be considered to have incurred a "separation from service" from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Agreement and the Award shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and any payments described in this Agreement and the Award that are due within the "short term deferral period" as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement and the Award during the six-month period immediately following the Participant's separation from service shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Participant's separation from service (or, if earlier, the Participant's death).  The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments described in this Agreement and the Award will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A.

(a)An acquisition of any voting securities of the Company (the "Voting Securities") by any "Person" (as the term person is used for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act), immediately after which such Person has (i) "Beneficial Ownership" (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company's then-outstanding Voting Securities or (ii) the power to elect a majority of the Board; provided, however, that in determining whether a Change in Control has occurred pursuant to this Section 7.2(a), an acquisition of Shares or Voting Securities by the Company or any corporation or other Person of which a majority of its voting power or its voting equity securities or equity interest is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company (a "Related Entity") shall not constitute a Change in Control; or
(b)The consummation of a merger, consolidation or reorganization of, with or into the Company or in which securities of the Company are issued (a "Merger"), if immediately following the Merger, any Person has (i) Beneficial Ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company's then-outstanding Voting Securities or (ii) the power to elect a majority of the Board; or
(c)The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any Person, other than (i) a transfer to a Related Entity or (ii) the distribution to the Company's stockholders of the stock of a Related Entity or any other assets.
