 **5.****PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION**
Executiveshall be entitled to the following payments and benefits following Termination: 

**(A) TERMINATION PAYMENT.** In recognition of pastservices to the Company by Executive, the Company shall make a lump sum payment in cash to Executive as severance pay equal to 1.25 times the sum of: (i) Executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the date that either aChange in Control shall occur or such date of Termination, whichever salary is higher, provided that if Executive is a part-time employee on the date of Termination then Executive’s base salary in effect immediately prior to the date ofTermination shall be used in calculating the payment to which Executive may be entitled under this Section 5(a); plus (ii) a percentage of Executive’s annual base salary specified in subparagraph (i) above, which percentage isequal to the percentage bonus paid to Executive for the fiscal year ended immediately prior to the Change in Control; provided, however, that if Termination occurs prior to the determination of such percentage for a fiscal year that has ended or ifExecutive has not received a percentage bonus in the previous year, such percentage shall be ten percent (10%). All payments under this Section 5(a) (the “Termination Payments”) shall be paid within ten (10) business daysfollowing the date of Executive’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”)). 

**(B) CERTAIN ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS BY THE COMPANY.** Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the Termination Payments either alone or together with all other payments and benefits which Executivereceives or is then entitled to receive (pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) from the Company or any Subsidiary (all such payments and benefits, including the Termination Payments, the “Termination Benefits”), would constitute aParachute Payment, then the Payments to Executive under Section 5(a) shall be increased (such increase, a “Gross-Up Payment”), but only to the extent necessary to ensure that, after payment by Executive of all taxes (including anyinterest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon theTermination Benefits. The foregoing calculations shall be made, at the Company’s expense, by the Company and Executive. If no agreement on the calculations is reached within thirty (30) business days after the date of Termination, then theaccounting firm that regularly audits the financial statements of the Company (the “Auditors”) shall review the calculations. The determination of such firm shall be conclusive and binding on all parties and the expense for suchaccountants shall be paid by the Company. Pending such determination, the 

 

3 

Company shall continue to make all other required payments to Executive at the time and in the manner provided herein. The Gross-Up Payment shall be made assoon as reasonably practicable and shall in no event be made later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which Executive remits the related taxes. 

As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments will have been made by theCompany which should not have been made (an “Overpayment”) or that additional Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (an “Underpayment”). If it is determined by the Company andExecutive, or, if no agreement is reached by the Company and Executive, the Auditors, that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to Executive which Executive shall repay to the Company, togetherwith interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. In the event that the Company and Executive, or, if no agreement is reached by the Company and Executive, the Auditors, determine that an Underpayment hasoccurred, such Underpayment shall promptly be paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code. The Company and Executive shall give eachother prompt written notice of any information that could reasonable result in the determination that an Overpayment or Underpayment has been made. Any Underpayment shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable and shall in no event be made laterthan the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which Executive remits the related taxes. 

**(C) ACCRUEDBENEFITS.** The Company shall make a lump sum payment in cash to Executive in the amount of any Accrued Benefits for the periods of service prior to the date of Termination. 

**(D) WELFARE PLAN BENEFITS.** For a period of one year following the date of Termination, the Company shall pay a portion of the applicable COBRApremiums, if any, for Executive and Executive’s dependents equal to the Company-paid portion of comparable active employee coverage as in effect on the date of Termination, provided the Company receives adequatesubstantiation of such COBRA coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive is provided by another employer during such one-year period with health benefits that are substantially comparable to the activeemployee coverage as in effect on the date of Termination (including with respect to the amount of employer premium subsidy), the Company’s obligation under this paragraph shall cease. 

**(E) DEATH OF EXECUTIVE.** In the event of Executive’s death subsequent to Termination and prior to receiving all benefits and payments providedfor by this Section 5, such benefits shall be paid to his or her spouse, if any, or otherwise to the personal representative of his or her estate, in accordance with the payment terms described above, unless Executive has otherwise directed theCompany in writing prior to his or her death. 

**(F) EXCLUSIVE SOURCE OF SEVERANCE PAY.** Benefits provided hereunder shall replace theamount of any severance payments to which Executive would otherwise be entitled under any severance plan or policy generally available to employees of the Company.

**(G) NONSEGREGATION.** No assets of the Company need be segregated or earmarked to represent theliability for benefits payable hereunder. The rights of any person to receive benefits hereunder shall be only those of a general unsecured creditor.
