You agree to devote your best efforts and substantially all of your business time to advance the interests of the Company

Payments”), is or will be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the Total Payments shall be reduced to the
maximum amount that could be paid to you without giving rise to the Excise Tax (the “Safe Harbor Cap”), if the

made by reducing such payment that trigger the Excise Tax in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments, (ii) cancellation

of accelerated vesting of other equity awards (based on the reverse order of the date of grant), and (iv) reduction of any other
payments due to you (with benefits or payments in any group having different payment terms being reduced on a pro-rata basis).
All mathematical determinations, and all determinations as to whether any of the Total Payments are “parachute payments”
(within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), that are required to be made under this paragraph, including determinations as
to whether the Total Payments to you shall be reduced to the Safe Harbor Cap and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at
such determinations, shall be made at the Company’s expense by the Company’s then current independent auditors, or
such other nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Committee prior to the relevant change in control transaction.


 


13.          Section 409A. 


 


(a)               
In General. It is the Company’s intent that this Agreement be exempt from the application of, or otherwise
comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”). Specifically, any taxable benefits
or payments provided under this Agreement are intended to be separate payments that qualify for the “short-term deferral”
exception to Section 409A to the maximum extent possible, and to the extent they do not so qualify, are intended to qualify for
the involuntary separation pay exceptions to Section 409A, to the maximum extent possible. If neither of these exceptions applies,
and if you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, all amounts that would otherwise be paid or provided
to you during the first six (6) months following your date of termination shall instead be accumulated through and paid or provided
(without interest) on the first business day following the six-month anniversary of the date of termination. If the period during
which the Release must become effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms spans two calendar years, then, to the extent
required to comply with Section 409A, any payment to be made under this Agreement will commence on the first payroll date that
occurs in the second calendar year and after the Release has become effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms. Further,
to the extent required to comply with Section 409A: (i) the amount of any expense reimbursement to which you may be entitled hereunder
during a calendar year will not affect the amount of reimbursements to be provided in any other calendar year; (ii) your right
to receive reimbursement of an eligible expense hereunder is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and (iii)
provided that the requisite documentation is submitted, the Company will reimburse your eligible expenses on or before the last
day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred.


 


(b)              
Separation from Service. A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision
of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits subject to Section 409A upon or following a termination
of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and the
Participant is no longer providing services (at a level that would preclude the occurrence of a “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A) to the Company or its Affiliates as an employee or consultant, and for purposes of any such
provision of this Plan, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall
mean “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.


 






    	7



    	 



    

 


14.          Attorneys’ Fees. Should either party hereto, or any heir, personal representative, successor or assign of either
party hereto, resort to legal proceedings in connection with this Agreement or Employee’s employment with the Company, the
party or parties prevailing in such legal proceedings shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, to
recover its or their reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs in such legal proceedings from the non prevailing party or parties.


 


15.          Assistance
in Litigation. Employee shall, during and after termination of employment, upon reasonable notice, furnish such information
and proper assistance to the Company as may reasonably be required by the Company in connection with any litigation in which it
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is, or may become a party; provided, however, that such assistance following termination
shall be furnished at mutually agreeable times and for mutually agreeable compensation.


 


16.          Miscellaneous. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, and Indemnification Agreement sets forth
the terms of your employment with the Company and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral.
This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement, signed by the Company and by you. Whenever possible,
each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in
any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will be lessened or reduced to the extent possible or will be
severed and will not affect any other provision and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction
as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. This Agreement will be governed by New
York law without reference to rules of conflicts of law. All notices, requests, demands and other communications called for hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, (ii) one (1) day
after being sent by a well established commercial overnight service, (iii) three (3) days after being mailed by registered
or certified mail, return receipt requested, prepaid and addressed to the parties or their successors at the following addresses,
or at such other addresses as the parties may later designate in writing, (iv) upon confirmation of facsimile transfer, if
