The severance payment to which Employee is entitledshall be paid by the Company to Employee in cash and in full, not later than ten (10) calendar daysafter the effective date of the Release.

(d)      Termination Outside of Change of Control Period.

(e)      Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

Coordination with Existing Agreements. In the event of a termination of Employee’semployment within the Change of Control Period, the provisions of this Agreement are intended toenhance, but not be additive, to any pre-existing written agreements between the Company andEmployee. For example, if Employee’s employment agreement with the Company provides for aspecified cash payment upon a termination without cause, and severance payments are triggered underboth the employment agreement and this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to the larger cashpayment provided in either agreement but shall not be entitled to the sum of the two cash payments.The same principle applies to the other individual elements of severance provided herein includingequity compensation award accelerated vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, thebenefits provided to Employee under this Agreement are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieuof any other rights or remedies to which the Employee or the Company may otherwise be entitled,whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, and including pursuant to the Company’s otherseverance plans, arrangements or practices.     5.

-3-

 
              (a)      Noncompete. Employee acknowledges that the nature of the Company’s business issuch that if Employee were to become employed by, or substantially involved in, the business of acompetitor of the Company during the nine months following the termination of Employee’s employmentwith the Company, it would be very difficult for Employee not to rely on or use the Company’s tradesecrets and confidential information. Thus, to avoid the inevitable disclosure of the Company’strade secrets and confidential information, Employee agrees and acknowledges that Employee’s rightto receive the severance payments and benefits set forth in Section 3(a) (to the extent Employee isotherwise entitled to such payments) shall be conditioned upon Employee’s compliance in allrespects with any covenant not to compete in effect between Employee and the Company on the date ofthis Agreement during the nine-months following the termination of Employee’s employment with theCompany.              (b)      Remedy for Breach. Upon any breach by Employee of the covenant not to competereferred to in Section 5(a) during the nine months following the termination of Employee’semployment with the Company, then, in addition to any other remedy that the Company may otherwisehave, all severance payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately cease andany stock options or stock appreciation rights then held by Employee shall immediately terminateand be without further force and effect, and Employee shall be required to reimburse the Companyany lump-sum severance payment previously paid under Section 3(a)(i) and the value of any welfareplan reimbursements previously paid under Section 3(a)(iii).     6.      Golden Parachute Excise Tax Best Results. In the event that the severance andother benefits provided for in this agreement or otherwise payable to Employee (a) constitute“parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, asamended (the “Code”) and (b) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of theCode, then such benefits shall be either be:                          (i)      delivered in full, or                          (ii)      delivered as to such lesser extent which wouldresult in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excisetax under Section 4999 of the Code,whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and localincome and employment taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt byEmployee, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all orsome portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Companyand the Employee otherwise agree in writing, the determination of Employee’s excise tax liabilityand the amount required to be paid under this Section 6 shall be made in writing by the Company’sindependent auditors who are primarily used by the Company immediately prior to the Change ofControl (the “Accountants”). For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6,the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes andmay rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and4999 of the Code. The Company and the Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such informationand documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination
