|--------|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

----

|   | Section 5, the Company shall pay the Employee not later than the end of the year after the year in which the taxes are paid such additional amounts as are necessary to place the Employee in the same after-tax financial position that he would have been in if he had not incurred any such tax liability. |

|   | (d) | The payments and benefits provided for in Sections 5.2(b), 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 of this Agreement constitute a short-term deferral pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and thus not “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A.  If the payments and benefits provided for in Sections 5.2(b), 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5 of this Agreement are deemed to provide for the payment of non-qualified deferred compensation benefits in connection with a separation of service under Section 409A(2)(a)(i) of the Code, the following interpretations apply to Sections 5.2(b), 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5:  (i) Any termination of the Employee’s employment triggering payment of benefits under Sections 5.2(b), 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5 must constitute a “separation from service” under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) before distribution of such benefits can commence.  To the extent that the termination of Employee’s employment does not constitute a separation of service under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h) (as the result of further services that are reasonably anticipated to be provided by Employee to the Company at the time the Employee’s employment terminates, any benefits payable under Sections 5.2(b), 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5 that constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code shall be delayed until after the date of a subsequent event constituting a separation of service under Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h).  For purposes of clarification, this Section 5.6(d) shall not cause any forfeiture of benefits on the Employee’s part, but shall only act as a delay until such time as a “separation from service” occurs; (ii) If the Employee is a “specified employee” (as that term is used in Section 409A of the Code and regulations and other guidance issued thereunder) on the |

----

|   | date his separation from service becomes effective, any benefits payable under Sections 5.2(b), 5.3, 5.4 or 5.5 that constitute non-qualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code shall be delayed until the earlier of (A) business day following the six-month anniversary of the date his separation from service becomes effective, and (B) the date of his death, but only to the extent necessary to avoid such penalties under Section 409A of the Code.  On the earlier of (A) the business day following the six-month anniversary of the date his separation from service becomes effective, and (B) the Employee’s death, the Company shall pay the Employee in a lump sum the aggregate value of the non-qualified deferred compensation that the Company otherwise would have paid to the Employee prior to that date under Sections 5.2(b), 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 of this Agreement; (iii) It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided under Sections 5.2(b), 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 of this Agreement shall be treated as a separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code; and (iv) Neither the Company nor the Employee shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments or benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A of the Code). |
|--------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | 5.7 | Release of Claims.  The Employee’s entitlement to severance, payment of COBRA premiums, and accelerated vesting of options and restricted stock units, is contingent upon the Employee’s execution of a general release of claims in a form prepared by the Company and presented to the Employee upon termination of his employment hereunder, as well as the Employee’s compliance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof. |
|--------|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|   | 5.8 | No Requirement to Mitigate.  The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 5 by seeking other employment or otherwise. |
