The following provisions shall be in effect for any reimbursements (and in-kind benefits) to which Executive otherwise becomes under this Agreement, in order to assure that such reimbursements (and benefits) do not create a deferred compensation arrangement subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”):

 

(a)                                  The amount of reimbursements (or in-kind benefits) to which Executive may become entitled in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (or in-kind benefits) hereunder in any other calendar year.

 

(b)                                 Each reimbursement to which Executive becomes entitled shall be made by the Company as soon as administratively practicable following Executive’s submission of the supporting documentation, but in no event later than the close of business of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the reimbursable expense is incurred.

 

(c)                                        Executive’s right to reimbursement (or in-kind benefits) cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit or payment.

 

4.5                                 Taxes.  The Company may withhold from any benefits payable (including any Severance Payment, as defined below) under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling.

 

5.               Annual Leave.  Executive shall earn paid time off and shall maintain paid time off balances in accordance with the Company’s standard policies.

6.3                                 Without Cause.  In the event Executive is terminated by the Without Cause pursuant to Section 11.3, the Company shall pay to Executive (i) any Base Salary accrued through the date of termination, (ii) any accrued but unused paid time off; and (iii) continued payment of the Base Salary for twelve (12) months (the “Severance Period”).  Subsection (iii) of this Section 6.3 shall be referred to as a “Severance Payment”.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Severance Payment shall be paid to Executive on a regular basis in accordance with the company’s regular payroll procedures and policies as in effect immediately prior to such termination.

 

6.4                                 Upon Change of Control.  In the event Executive is terminated Upon a Change of Control of the Company pursuant to Section 11.4, the Company shall pay to Executive: (i) any Base Salary accrued through the date of termination, (ii) any accrued but unused paid time off; and (iii) continued payment of the Base Salary for a period of twelve (12) months.

For purpose of this Agreement, the term “disabled” shall be defined as Executive’s inability through physical or mental illness, to perform all of the duties which Executive is required to perform under this Agreement with or without reasonable accommodation as such terms are defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act.  In the event that the Executive is terminated pursuant to this section, the Company shall pay to Executive (i) Executive’s Base Salary through the date that he is terminated; (ii) any earned and accrued Incentive Compensation; and (iii) any accrued but unused paid time off.

 

Section 409A.   For the sake of clarity, no severance benefit that is paid on account of Goodwin’s termination of employment will be paid unless and until Goodwin incurs a “separation from service” under the default rules of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement whatsoever, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to provide for the application and effects of Section 409A of the Code (relating to deferred compensation arrangements) and

 

3











 

any related administrative guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code at the time of Executive’s termination, then only that portion of the Severance Payment, together with any other severance payments or benefits that, in each case, may otherwise be considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, which (a) do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below), and (b) which qualify as separation pay under Treasury Regulation Section 1. 409A-1(b)(9)(iii), may be paid within the first six (6) months following Executive’s termination in accordance with -1(b)(9) this Section 6 or (for payments or benefits not provided under this Agreement) with the payment schedule applicable to each such other payment or benefit. Otherwise, the portion of the Severance Payment, together with any other severance payments or benefits that, in each case, may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A, that would otherwise be payable within the six (6) month period following Executive’s termination will accrue during that six (6) month period and will be paid in a lump sum on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s termination (or the next business day if such date is not a business day), provided Executive has complied with the requirements for such payment. For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” means the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive’s “annualized compensation” as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1), or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year of the termination, or such successor limit as may apply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no actions taken pursuant to this section shall reduce the total amount of payments and benefits owed to Executive and to be paid to Executive under this Agreement.
