 3.3(d) and at such time the Executive is a specified employee of the
 Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal
 Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) (or any successor provision),
 to the extent the amount payable pursuant to Section 3.3(a) exceeds the
 limits set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Income Tax Regulations
 (or any successor provision), no payment in excess of those limits shall be
 made until the earliest to occur of the following (the earliest to occur of
 such dates being hereafter referred to as the End Date) unless any other
 provision under Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations promulgated
 thereunder, would allow any other payment or portion of payment without
 triggering the penalties under Section 409A of the Code: (a) the date that is
 six (6) months after the date Employees employment is terminated within the
 meaning set forth in Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Income Tax Regulations; and
 (b) the date of the Employees death. Except as provided in the following
 sentence, any amounts deferred under this Section 3.3(e) shall be due and
 payable no later than the fifth business day after the End Date. If the
 Company determines, based upon written advice of counsel, that any such
 payment, if made during the calendar year that includes the date Employees
 employment is terminated, would not be deductible in whole or in part by
 reason of Code Section 162(m), such payment shall be made on January 2 of the
 following calendar year (or such later date as may be required under the
 preceding proviso if the Employee is a specified employee).
