| 5.   | Taxes. |
|----------------|--------|

| (a)   | All      payments to be made to you under this Agreement will be subject to      required withholding of federal, state and local income and employment      taxes. |
|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (i)   | Subject      to the other provisions of this Section 5, in the event it shall be      determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to you or for      your benefit (whether paid or payable, distributed or distributable,      including, without limitation, the acceleration of vesting of any equity      compensation or other benefit or award, but determined without regard to      any additional payments required under this subparagraph (i)) (each, a      “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of      the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any      interest or penalties are incurred by you with respect to such excise tax      (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are      hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then you shall      be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an      amount sufficient to pay the Excise Tax on the Payments plus any federal,      state, or local income taxes, employment taxes, and any Excise Tax imposed      upon the Gross-Up Payment. |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (ii)   | Subject      to the other provisions of this Section 5, all determinations required to      be made under this Section 5, including whether and when a Gross-Up      Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the      assumptions to be used in arriving at such determination, shall be made by      a certified public accounting firm selected by the Company and reasonably      acceptable to you (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall be retained to      provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and you      within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from you that there has      been a Payment, or such earlier time as the Company      requests.  If the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or      auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in      Control, the Company shall have the right to appoint another nationally      recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder      (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm      hereunder).  All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall      be paid solely by the Company.  Any Gross-Up Payment, as      determined pursuant to this Section 5, shall be paid by the Company to you      within five (5) days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s      determination, but in no event later than December 31st of the year      following the year in which the Excise Tax is remitted to the taxing      authority.  Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be      binding upon the Company and you.  As a result of the      uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of      the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible      that Gross-Up Payments which should have been made will not have been made      by the Company (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required      to be made hereunder.  If the Company exhausts its remedies      pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this Section 5 and you thereafter are      required to pay an Excise Tax in an amount that exceeds the Gross-Up      Payment received by you, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of      the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be      promptly paid by the Company to or for your  benefit. |
|------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

You shall not pay such claim prior to the      expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such      notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any      payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due).  If the      Company notifies you in writing prior to the expiration of such period      that it desires to contest such claim, you  shall: |

|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (D)   | permit      the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such      claim; |
|-----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

----

| (iv)   | If,      after the receipt by you of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to      this Section 5, you become entitled to receive any refund with respect to      such claim, you shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of such      refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes      applicable thereto). |
|------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (v)   | Notwithstanding      any other provision of this Section 5, the Company may, in its sole      discretion, withhold and pay over to the Internal Revenue Service or any      other applicable taxing authority, for your benefit, all or any portion of      the Gross-Up Payment, and the Executive hereby consents to such      withholding. |

| 6.   | Code      Section 409A Legal Requirements.  This Agreement and the      benefits provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or to comply      with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury      Regulations and other applicable guidance issued by the Treasury      Department or Internal Revenue Service thereunder (collectively, “Section      409A”), and shall be interpreted and administered consistent with such      intent.  To the extent required for compliance with the      requirements of Section 409A, references in this Agreement to a      termination of employment and similar or correlative terms shall mean a      “separation of service” within the meaning of Section 409A from the      Company and all other corporations and trades or businesses, if any, that      would be treated as a single "service recipient" with the Company under      Section 409A. |

|----------------|------------------------------------------------|

| (a)   | The      Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by      purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all      of the business or assets of the Company expressly to assume and agree to      perform this Agreement to the same extent that the Company would be      required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of      the Company to obtain an assumption of this Agreement prior to the      effectiveness of any succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and      shall entitle you to compensation from the Company in the same amount and      on the same terms as you would be entitled hereunder if you had been      terminated without Cause. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean      the Company as defined above and any successor to its business or assets      as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by      operation of law, or otherwise. |
