SEVERANCE BENEFITS
2.1    Severance Benefits. A Covered Employee who is in compliance with all terms of this Plan and is designated as a Severance Benefit Employee will be entitled to receive each of the following Severance Benefits:
2.1.1    Severance Payment.  A cash payment (“Severance Payment”), which amount shall be divided into and paid in ten (10) equal consecutive monthly installments payable on the last business day of each of the ten (10) calendar months following the date that is sixty (60) days after the Separation Date, the signing of the Separation Agreement and Release and the expiration of the revocation period provided in the Separation Agreement and Release (if any). The amount of the Severance Payment shall be one (1) year of Base Salary. 
2.2    Health Care Continuation. A lump sum cash payment equal to twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500.00). This payment shall be made within sixty (60) days following the Separation Date. 
2.3    Annual Bonus Payments. If a Covered Employee’s employment is terminated before payment of the Annual Bonus for the prior calendar year, the Covered Employee shall be entitled to receive payment of such Annual Bonus for the prior calendar year at the same time as bonus payments are made to similarly situated employees under the Employer’s annual bonus plan.
2.4    Outplacement Benefits. A Covered Employee will be reimbursed up to seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) in outplacement assistance, to be provided within twelve (12) months after the Separation Date.  The Covered Employee shall submit requests for reimbursement on the form provided by the Employer no later than thirty (30) days after the end 

6

of the calendar year in which the expenses are incurred and the Employer shall make such reimbursement payments within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the reimbursement request.  The Covered Employee’s right to such reimbursement payments shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other payment or benefit. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Company reserves the right to provide outplacement benefits through a vendor selected by the Company or the Employer, with the Employer providing payment to such vendor instead of providing reimbursement payments to the Covered Employee. 
2.5    Treatment of Equity Awards. A Covered Employee’s award of equity, including, but not limited to restricted stock units, shall be governed and controlled by the agreement(s) executed by the Employer and Covered Employee providing for such equity. The terms and conditions of the agreement(s) providing equity to a Covered Employee are not modified or affected by this Plan.
2.6    Benefits Are Not Salary.  Any Severance Benefits paid under the Plan are not considered as salary for any employee benefit plan purposes.  The Severance Benefits provided to a Severance Benefit Employee shall not be considered in calculating his or her entitlement, if any, to vacation, sick leave, bonus, incentive salary, retirement, the Employer’s 401(k) Plan, or other benefits except as is specifically provided in the Company’s other employee benefit plans. 
2.7    Other Benefits.  Except as stated otherwise in this Plan, any other benefits due to a Severance Benefit Employee not because of a Qualifying Termination, and not under this Plan, shall remain in place according to their existing terms and conditions and are not modified or affected by this Plan.
ARTICLE III
DEDUCTIONS & FORFEITURES
3.1    Deductions.  To the extent permissible under federal or state law, the following items and amounts will be deducted from the amount of Severance Benefits otherwise payable to a Severance Benefit Employee under the Plan:
(a)    Any payments paid or owing to a Severance Benefit Employee because of or due to the Qualifying Termination, whether pursuant to applicable law or under a written or oral plan or agreement with the Employer or its predecessors;
(b)    Any amounts that a Severance Benefit Employee owes to the Company or Employer;
(c)    Any amount of garnished earnings which would have been withheld from the Severance Benefit Employee’s pay, if the Employer has been garnishing the Severance Benefit Employee’s earnings pursuant to an order of garnishment, child support or tax lien; and
(d)    Taxes applicable to the Severance Benefits to the extent required by law to be withheld.

7

3.2    Forfeitures.  A Severance Benefit Employee shall forfeit any and all rights to Severance Benefits under the Plan, and shall be obligated to repay any such benefits previously paid under the Plan, if the Administrator, in its sole discretion, determines before payment is made or within one (1) year of payment being made to the Employee that the Severance Benefit Employee is or was not eligible to receive any payment under the terms of the Plan due to non-compliance with any of the terms of this Plan, including its Participation Agreement, any non-disclosure, non-solicitation, non-competition, or non-disparagement obligations towards the Employer or Company under any law or agreement, or if the Severance Benefit Employee challenges the enforceability or validity of any terms of the Plan, including the Participation Agreement. By accepting any payment under this Plan, a Severance Benefit Employee shall be deemed to have accepted the repayment obligation described in this Section.
3.3    Company’s Right to Recover Payments Made under Plan.  Every Covered Employee has a duty to report to the Administrator any errors occurring in the selection of such employee as qualified to receive benefits under this Plan or in calculating or making any payments or other decisions under this Plan. The Company and Employer shall have the right to recover any payment made to a Severance Benefit Employee in excess of the amount to which the Severance Benefit Employee is entitled to under the terms of the Plan or if it is later determined that the Severance Benefit Employee was not eligible to receive any payment under the terms of the Plan. Such recovery may be from the Severance Benefit Employee, the Beneficiary, or any insurer or other organization or entity thereby enriched.  In the event such repayment is not made by the Severance Benefit Employee, such repayment shall be made either by (i) reducing or suspending any future payments of any amounts owed to the Severance Benefit Employee under this Plan or any other obligation, or (ii) requiring an assignment of a portion of the Severance Benefit Employee’s earnings on such excess payments, until the amount of such excess payments are fully recovered.
3.4    Re-employment.  Any Severance Benefit Employee who received a Severance Benefit under the Plan will not have any right to be re-employed by the Employer.  If a Severance Benefit Employee is re-employed by the Employer within twelve (12) months from the date of his or her Separation Date, such Severance Benefit Employee may, as a condition of reemployment, be required to repay to the Employer a portion of his or her Severance Benefits.
ARTICLE IV
REQUIREMENT FOR RECEIPT OF SEVERANCE BENEFITS
4.1    Execution of Separation Agreement and Release.  In order for a Severance Benefit Employee to receive his or her Severance Benefits, the Severance Benefit Employee must sign the Separation Agreement and Release within the particular time period specified in the Separation Agreement and Release, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) days following the Severance Benefit Employee’s receipt of the Separation Agreement and Release or such earlier date as required by the Separation Agreement and Release (such deadline, the “Release Deadline”).
(a)    The Separation Agreement and Release may provide for a revocation period of seven (7) days (the “Revocation Period”), but if none is provided in the Separation Agreement and Release, then no such Revocation Period will apply for that Severance Benefit Employee.

8

(b)    The signed Separation Agreement and Release must actually be received by the Administrator, or its duly authorized representative, at the address specified by the Administrator, within seven (7) days after the Release Deadline to be considered timely.
(c)    Notwithstanding the preceding, if the Severance Benefit Employee does not properly sign the Separation Agreement and Release by the applicable deadline, or, in the case of a Separation Agreement and Release that includes a Revocation Period, revokes a signed Separation Agreement and Release, the Severance Benefit Employee will not receive the Severance Benefits provided under this Plan.
(d)    If the Severance Benefit Employee’s Separation Date and the Release Deadline fall in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to the Severance Benefit Employee which are treated as nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A shall be made in the later taxable year.
4.2    Acceptance of Severance Benefits.  By accepting any Severance Benefits from the Plan, the Severance Benefit Employee shall be deemed to have agreed to adhere to all terms of the Plan.
ARTICLE V
CLAIMS AND APPEAL PROCEDURES
5.1    Claims Procedures.  Severance Benefits will be automatically paid to a Severance Benefit Employee who qualifies for such benefits under the Plan, and who timely signs and does not revoke the Separation Agreement and Release.
(a)    A Covered Employee who believes he or she is entitled to Severance Benefits under this Plan or who has been paid Severance Benefits and who believes that he or she is entitled to a greater benefit may file a written claim for such benefits with the Administrator within ninety (90) days following the later of (i) the Separation Date; or (ii) the date of any curtailment of benefits being provided to a Severance Benefit Employee following a Qualifying Termination, if applicable.  The Administrator shall render a written decision concerning the claim not later than ninety (90) days after its receipt, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of the claim.  Written notice of the extension will be furnished to the Covered Employee prior to the expiration of the initial ninety (90)-day period and will indicate (i) the special circumstances requiring an extension of time for processing the claim, and (ii) the date the Administrator expects to render its decision.  For purposes of this Section, any payment of Severance Benefits under this Plan shall be treated as the issuance of a written decision by the Administrator to approve the claim for benefits.
(b)    If the claim is denied, in whole or in part, such decision shall include (i) the specific reasons for the denial; (ii) a reference to the Plan provision(s) constituting the basis of the denial; (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Covered Employee to perfect his or her claim; (iv) an explanation as to why such additional material or information is necessary; and (v) a description of how the claim review procedure is administered. 

9

If the notice of denial is not furnished in accordance with the above procedure the claim shall be deemed denied and the Covered Employee is then permitted to appeal the decision.
5.2    Appeal Procedure.  If the Covered Employee’s claim is denied, in whole or in part, he or she then has sixty (60) days to appeal the decision.
(a)    An appeal must be submitted in writing to the Administrator.  The Covered Employee may also submit a written request to review copies of the pertinent Plan documents in connection with his or her appeal.  The Administrator will review the appeal and determine if a meeting with the Covered Employee is necessary to reach a decision.
(b)    If the Administrator determines a meeting is necessary, the Covered Employee must submit a written “statement of position” containing all pertinent details of the appeal and the supporting reasons, as well as any questions the Covered Employee may have regarding the appeal.  The statement of position must be received by the Administrator at least fourteen (14) days before the scheduled meeting.  If the statement of position is not received in a timely manner, the Administrator may cancel the meeting.
(c)    Within sixty (60) days following request for review, the Administrator shall, after providing a full and fair review, render a final decision in writing to the Covered Employee and his or her representative, if any, stating specific reasons for such decision and making specific references to pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision is based. If special circumstances require an extension of such sixty (60)-day period, the Administrator’s final decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review. If an extension of time for review is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Covered Employee and his or her representative, if any, prior to the commencement of the extension period.

Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Covered Employee’s claim of any right to payment of any benefits other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which such Covered Employee may be entitled.
7.7    Successor Employer.  In the event of a merger, consolidation, dissolution, or reorganization of the Company or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation, partnership or association, a provision may be made by such successor corporation, partnership or association, at its election, for the continuation of the Plan created hereunder by such successor entity.  Such successor shall, upon its election to continue the Plan, be substituted in place of the Company by an instrument duly authorizing such substitution.
7.8    Severability.  If any provision of the Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, its validity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included herein.

7.9    Captions.  The captions contained herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, enlarge or describe the scope or intent of the Plan, nor in any way shall affect the Plan or the construction of any provision thereof.
7.10    Gender and Numbers.  Terms used in the masculine shall also include the feminine and be neutral where appropriate.  Terms in the singular shall include the plural where appropriate, and vices versa.
7.11    Non-transferability.  No benefit, right or interest of any Covered Employee hereunder shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, seizure, attachment or legal, equitable or other process or be liable for, or subject to, the debts, liabilities or other obligations of such persons, except as otherwise required by law.
7.12    Information Requested.  The Covered Employee or other designated persons shall provide the Company, the Administrator, or their authorized representatives with such information and evidence, and shall sign such documents, as may reasonably be requested from time to time for the purpose of administration of the Plan.
7.13    Integration with WARN Act or other required payments under applicable law.  To the extent that any federal, state or local law, including, without limitation, any so-called “plant closing or mass layoff” laws such as the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, requires the Employer to give advanced notice or make payment of any kind to a Covered Employee because of his or her involuntary termination due to a layoff, reduction in force, plant or facility closing, sale of business, change of control or any other similar event or reason, the Severance Benefits provided under this Plan may either be reduced or eliminated.  The Severance Benefits provided under this Plan are intended to satisfy any and all statutory obligations for notice or severance or otherwise that may arise out of any Covered Employee’s rights relating to his or her employment or involuntary termination, and the Administrator shall construe and implement the terms of this Plan in its sole discretion.  Included in the scope of the foregoing, (i) if a Covered Employee receives notice from the Employer pursuant to the WARN Act or comparable state law, and remains employed during some or all of the WARN notice period, then the Severance Benefits payable to the Covered Employee may be reduced by the pay and benefits received by such Covered Employee during the WARN or comparable state law notice period, and (ii) if a Covered Employee receives notice from the Employer pursuant to the WARN Act or comparable state law, and does not remain employed during some or all of the WARN Act or comparable notice period, due to Employee’s voluntary resignation, then the Employee is not eligible to receive Severance Benefits under this Plan.  Further the Separation Agreement and Release required to be signed before receiving any Severance Benefits under this Plan includes a waiver of all claims or amounts due under the WARN Act or comparable laws.
7.14    Limitations on Actions.  No action may be brought for Severance Benefits provided by this Plan or any amendment or modification thereof, or to enforce any right thereunder, until after the claim and the appeal of the claim have been submitted to and determined by the Administrator. Any legal action must commence within twelve (12) calendar months immediately following the date of such Administrator’s final decision pursuant to Section 5.2 above.

7.15    Section 409A Limitation.  
(a)    Each payment of Severance Benefits shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of the short-term deferral rules under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i)(F), the exemption for Qualifying Terminations under separation pay plans under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), the exemption for medical expense reimbursements under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(B) and the exemption for in-kind benefits under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(C).
(b)    To the extent possible, no amount shall be payable under this Plan unless such amount (i) is paid on or before March 15th of the calendar year immediately following the applicable Separation Date, or (ii) is paid on or before the last day of the second calendar year following the year during which a Severance Benefit Employee’s Separation Date occurred and is includable in a group of payments which does not exceed the lesser of two times the Severance Benefit Employee’s annual Base Salary in the year prior to the year during which the Separation Date occurred or two times the limit under Code Section 401(a)(17) as then in effect.
(c)    To the extent that any portion of the Severance Benefits is subject to Code Section 409A, (i) the payment of that portion of the Severance Benefits shall be designed and administered to comply with Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and (ii) notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary concerning the time of payment of that portion of the Severance Benefit, if the Severance Benefit Employee is a “specified employee,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) on the date of his or her “separation from service”, as described in Code Section 409A, then to the extent any portion of such payment is paid upon or as a result of the Severance Benefit Employee’s “separation from service”, such amount shall be accumulated and not paid to the Severance Benefit Employee until the date that is six (6) months after the date of his or her “separation from service” (or, if earlier than the end of the six (6) month period, his or her date of death). Such accumulated amounts shall be paid in a single lump sum payment on such delayed payment date.
7.16    Clawback. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Plan to the contrary, any Severance Benefits provided hereunder, whether in the form of cash or otherwise, shall be subject to a clawback to the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of any applicable law, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, section 304 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, or any regulations promulgated thereunder, or any policy adopted by the Company or the Employer pursuant to any such law (whether in existence as of the effective date of this Plan or later adopted).
