29.1.                        Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, if the Executive is
deemed at the time of his
termination of employment with the Company to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent
delayed commencement of any portion
of the termination benefits to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement
is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of Executive’s
termination benefits shall not be
provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the
six-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s Separation from
Service with the Company or (ii) the date of Executive’s death.  Upon the earlier of such dates, all payments
deferred pursuant to this Section 29.1 shall be paid in a lump sum to the
Executive, and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as
otherwise provided herein. The determination of whether the Executive is a “specified
employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code as of
the time of his separation from service shall made by the Company in accordance
with the terms of Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance
thereunder (including without limitation Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i) and
any successor provision thereto). 
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Agreement,
the Company and Executive agree that, for purposes of the limitations on
nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, each
payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be treated as a right to
receive a series separate and distinct payments of compensation for purposes of
applying the Section 409A of the Code.

 

29.2.                        The Company and Executive acknowledge and agree that, to the extent
applicable, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with, and the
parties agree to use their best efforts to achieve timely compliance with, Section 409A
of the Code and the Department of Treasury Regulations and other interpretive
guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”), including without limitation
any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective
Date.  Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that
any compensation or benefits payable or provided under this Agreement may be
subject to Section 409A, the Company may adopt such limited amendments to
this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments
and policies with retroactive effect, that the Company reasonably determines
are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the compensation and benefits
payable under this Agreement from Section 409A and/or preserve the
intended tax treatment of the compensation and benefits provided with respect
to this Agreement or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
The Company shall consult with Executive in good faith regarding the
implementation of the provisions of this Section 29.”

herein, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Agreement shall
