                         AMERICAN GREETINGS CORPORATION

                     Agreement to Defer Stock Option Gains
                     -------------------------------------

         THIS AGREEMENT TO DEFER STOCK OPTION GAINS (this "Agreement") dated
December 15, 1997 between American Greetings Corporation (the "Company") and
Morry Weiss (the "Optionee"),

                                  WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") awarded
the Optionee on January 25, 1988 options under which the Optionee has the right
to purchase 510,000 Class B Common Shares of the Company (the "Option");

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Option Agreement entered
into between the Company and the Optionee to evidence the Option (the "Option
Agreement"), the Optionee currently has the right to exercise the Option in full
for cash or, subject to approval by the Board, by delivery of Common Shares of
either class of the Company ("Common Shares"); and

         WHEREAS, the Optionee desires to waive certain rights under the Option
Agreement in consideration for deferral of delivery of certain of the Common
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Option.

         NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises herein set forth and
other good and valuable consideration had and received, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

                            ARTICLE I - DEFINITIONS

         The following words and phrases when used in this Agreement shall have
the following meanings:

         1.       "ADMINISTRATOR" shall mean the Compensation Committee of the
                  Board or such other person or persons as designated by the
                  Board.

         2.       "BENEFICIARY" shall mean the person(s) to whom the Optionee's
                  Account (as defined herein) is payable upon his death. The
                  Optionee may, by written instrument delivered to the
                  Administrator during the Optionee's lifetime, designate one or
                  more primary and contingent Beneficiaries to receive amounts
                  payable from his Account following his death and may designate
                  the proportions in which such Beneficiaries are to receive
                  such payment. The Optionee may change such designation from
                  time to time, and the last written designation filed with the
                  Administrator prior to the Optionee's death shall control. If
                  the Optionee fails to specifically designate a Beneficiary or
                  if no designated Beneficiary survives the Optionee, payment
                  shall be made by the Administrator to the Optionee's estate.

         3.       "CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean (a) a filing pursuant to any
                  federal or state law in connection with any tender offer for
                  shares of the Company (other than a tender offer by the
                  Company), (b) the signing of any agreement for the merger or
                  consolidation of the Company with another corporation or for
                  the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
                  Company, (c) the adoption of any resolution of reorganization
                  or dissolution of the Company by the shareholders, (d) any
                  other event or series of events, which, in the opinion of the
                  Board, will or is likely to, if carried out, result in a
                  change in control of the Company, or (e) if, during any period
                  of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of
                  such period constituted the Board cease for any reason to
                  constitute a majority thereof (unless the election, or the
                  nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, of each
                  Director of the Company first elected during such period was
                  approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the Directors
                  then still in office who were Directors of the Company at the
                  beginning of any such period).

         4.       "CODE" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as
                  amended.

         5.       "DISABILITY" shall mean a physical or mental condition of the
                  Optionee resulting from a bodily injury, disease, or mental
                  disorder which renders him incapable of continuing in the
                  employment of the Company. Such Disability shall be determined
                  by the Administrator based upon appropriate medical evidence
                  and examination.

                              ARTICLE II - WAIVER

         The Optionee irrevocably waives his rights under the Option Agreement
to (1) exercise the Option for cash at any time and (2) exercise the Option in
any manner during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending at
midnight, Cleveland time on April 24, 1998; provided, however, that such waiver
shall be null and void in the event that during such period (a) the Optionee's
employment is terminated by the Company, (b) the Optionee's employment
terminates as a result of his death or Disability, or (c) there is a Change in
Control of the Company.

                             ARTICLE III - DEFERRAL

         The Optionee irrevocably elects that if he shall exercise the Option,

II hereof:

         1.       Payment of the exercise price for the portion of the Option
                  being exercised shall be made in Common Shares which the
                  Optionee owned for at least 6 months prior to the exercise
                  date.

         2.       As soon as practicable following exercise of the Option, the
                  Company shall deliver to the Optionee a number of Common
                  Shares covered by the Option equal to the number of Common
                  Shares which were surrendered by the Optionee in payment of
                  the exercise price.

                                       2

         3.       The delivery of the balance of the Common Shares issuable upon
                  such exercise (the "Gain Shares") shall be deferred until
                  April 25, 2001, (the "Deferral Period"), subject to and in
                  accordance with Articles IV and V hereof. Notwithstanding the
                  foregoing, the Deferral Period specified in the preceding
                  sentence may (subject to approval by the Administrator) be
                  extended (with respect to all or a specified portion of the
                  Gain Shares) at the election of the Optionee; provided,
                  however, that (a) any such election must be made in writing
                  (in accordance with rules established by the Administrator) at
                  least six (6) months prior to the expiration of such Deferral
                  Period, and (b) such extension must be for a period of between
                  three (3) and five (5) years.

                         ARTICLE IV - DEFERRAL ACCOUNT

         The Company shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the
Optionee (the "Account") which shall be administered as follows:

         1.       The Account shall consist of two Sub-Accounts -- (a) the
                  "Common Share" Sub-Account and (b) the "Cash" Sub-Account. The
                  Common Share Sub-Account shall initially be credited with the
                  number of Gain Shares. Such Sub-Account shall be deemed to be
                  invested in Common Shares of the class covered by the Option
                  and shall be credited with stock dividends declared thereon.
                  Appropriate adjustments in the Common Share Sub-Account shall
                  be made as equitably required to prevent dilution or
                  enlargement of the Sub-Account from any stock dividend, stock
                  split, reorganization or other such corporate transaction or
                  event. The Cash Sub-Account shall be credited with an amount
                  equal to the amount of the cash dividend paid periodically
                  with respect to Common Shares multiplied by the number of
                  Common Shares credited to the Common Share Sub-Account as of
                  the record date for the corresponding cash dividend, PLUS, IF
                  APPLICABLE, ANY ACTUAL EARNINGS CREDITED TO THE CASH
                  SUB-ACCOUNT FOLLOWING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE GRANTOR TRUST
                  DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH 3 BELOW.

         2.       The value of the Optionee's Account shall be determined from
                  time to time by the Administrator in the following manner:

                  (a)      The Account shall be valued as of each December 31 or
                           more frequently as agreed upon by the Administrator,
                           and shall again be valued as of the date that an
                           Optionee receives any payment under the Agreement, in
                           accordance with the procedures established by the
                           Administrator.

                  (b)      All allocations to the Account shall be deemed to
                           have been made on the applicable valuation date in
                           the manner set forth in this paragraph, even though
                           actually determined at a later date.

                                       3

         3.       All amounts which are credited to the Account shall be
                  credited solely for purposes of accounting and computation and
                  shall remain assets of the Company subject to the claims of
                  the Company's general creditors. This Agreement is designed to
                  be unfunded, with amounts payable hereunder being paid from
                  the general assets of the Company. Notwithstanding the
                  foregoing, the Company may, but is not required to, deposit
                  the Gain Shares in a grantor trust for the purpose of securing
                  the benefits to be provided to the Optionee pursuant to this
                  Agreement. IN THE EVENT THAT THE GAIN SHARES ARE DEPOSITED IN
                  A GRANTOR TRUST, THE OPTIONEE SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY OR
                  RESPONSIBILITY TO REDIRECT THE INVESTMENT OF SUCH GAIN SHARES
                  AND SUCH GAIN SHARES SHALL AT ALL TIMES BE DEEMED INVESTED IN
                  COMMON SHARES OF THE CLASS COVERED BY THE OPTION. The assets
                  of any such trust shall at all times be subject to the claims
                  of the Company's general creditors in the event of insolvency
                  or bankruptcy.

                           ARTICLE V - DISTRIBUTIONS

         1.       On each June 30 and December 31 while the Agreement is in
                  effect, the Optionee shall be paid a lump sum distribution in
                  cash equal to the balance credited to his Cash Sub-Account and
                  such balance shall be reduced to zero.

         2.       The Optionee shall receive a distribution of his Account as
                  soon as practicable following the earliest of (a) his
                  termination of employment with the Company for any reason,
                  whether voluntary or involuntary (with or without cause),
                  (b) the expiration of the Deferral Period or (c) a Change in
                  Control.

         3.       In the event of the death or Disability of the Optionee, the
                  Optionee's Account shall be paid to the Optionee's Beneficiary
                  or guardian (as the case may be) within 30 days following the
                  date on which the Company is notified or otherwise determines
                  that such event has occurred.

         4.       Distributions from the Optionee's Account shall be made in a
                  single lump sum payment unless the Optionee elects to receive
                  such payment in the form of annual installment payments over a
                  three (3) or five (5) year period. Any election to receive
                  installment payments must be made in writing (in accordance
                  with rules established by the Administrator) at least six (6)
                  months prior to the date on which the payment is due to be
                  made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any remaining installment
                  payments shall be accelerated and paid in a single payment in
                  the event of the death of the Optionee, a Change in Control of
                  the Company or the Optionee's involuntary termination of
                  employment from the Company. All payments under the Agreement
                  (except for the semi-annual distributions from the Cash
                  Sub-Account described in paragraph 1 above) shall be in the
                  form of Common Shares of the class covered by the Option (with
                  any fractional shares being paid in cash).

                                       4

         5.       Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V, if
                  the deduction of all or any portion of a payment or
                  distribution otherwise due to be made by the Company under the
                  Agreement would be disallowed solely by reason of Code Section
                  162(m) but for the operation of this paragraph, then such
                  payment or distribution (or portion thereof) shall be deferred
                  and made at the earliest time that Section 162(m) would not
                  apply to disallow the corresponding deduction by the Company.

         6.       Distributions under the Agreement shall be subject to all
                  applicable withholding taxes.

                           ARTICLE VI- MISCELLANEOUS

         1. GENERAL PROVISIONS. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Ohio. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument
executed by both of the parties hereto. This Agreement constitutes the entire
understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the
balance of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

         2. AUTOMATIC TERMINATION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Agreement shall automatically terminate (and
the Optionee's Account shall be immediately distributed in a single lump sum) in
the event it is determined by the Company that, based upon a change in the
federal tax laws, a published ruling, regulation or final decision issued by the
Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor or by a court of competent
jurisdiction that (a) the Agreement is considered "funded" for purposes of
Title I of ERISA, (b) there is a transfer of property for purposes of Section 83
of the Code resulting in a currently taxable benefit to be realized by the
Optionee or a Beneficiary pursuant to the "economic benefit" doctrine, or (c)
pursuant to Section 451 of the Code, amounts are includable as compensation in
the gross income of the Optionee or Beneficiary in a taxable year that is prior
to the year or years in which such amounts are actually distributed or made
available thereto.

         3. EFFECT OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS. The provisions of any and all Agreements
to Defer Stock Option Gains between the Company and the Optionee are hereby
superseded in their entirety by the provisions of this Agreement.

         4.       ADMINISTRATION.

                  (a)      The Administrator may adopt such rules of procedure
                           as it deems desirable for the conduct of its affairs,
                           except to the extent that such rules conflict with
                           the provisions of the Agreement.

                  (b)      The Administrator shall have the following rights,
                           powers and duties: (i) Subject to the terms of this

                           procedure in paragraph 5 below), the decision of the
                           Administrator in matters within its jurisdiction
                           shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the
                           Company and upon any other person affected by such

                                       5
<PAGE>

                           decision. (ii) The Administrator shall have the duty
                           and authority to interpret and construe the
                           provisions of the Agreement, to decide any question
                           which may arise regarding the rights of the Optionee
                           and his Beneficiaries, and the amounts of their
                           respective interests, to adopt such rules and to
                           exercise such powers as the Administrator may deem
                           necessary for the administration of the Agreement,
                           and to exercise any other rights, powers or
                           privileges granted to the Administrator by the Board
                           under the terms of the Agreement. (iii) The
                           Administrator shall maintain full and complete
                           records of its decisions. The Administrator shall
                           within a reasonable time after the end of each
                           calendar year provide the Optionee with a detailed
                           report of the status of the Account.

                  (c)      No fee or compensation shall be paid to any person
                           for services as the Administrator.

         5. CLAIMS PROCEDURE. If a claim for benefits under the Agreement is
wholly or partially denied, notice of the decision shall be furnished to the
claimant by the Administrator within a reasonable period of time after receipt
of a claim by the Administrator. Any claimant who is denied a claim shall be
furnished written notice setting forth the specific reason or reasons for the
denial; specific reference to the pertinent provision of the Agreement upon
which the denial is based; a description of any additional material or
information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim; and an explanation
of the claim review procedure. In order that a claimant may appeal a denial of a
claim, the claimant or the claimant's duly authorized representative may:
request a review by written application to the Administrator, or its designate,
no later than 60 days after receipt by the claimant of written notification of
denial of a claim; review pertinent documents; and submit issues and comments in
writing. A decision on review of a denied claim shall be made not later than 60
days after receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require
an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered
within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 120 days after receipt of
a request for review. The decision on review shall be in writing and shall
include the specific reason(s) for the decision and the specific reference(s) to
the pertinent provisions of the Agreement on which the decision is based. If a
claimant disagrees with the decision on review, he shall have 30 days from
receipt of the decision on review to demand binding confidential arbitration
before three arbitrators in Cleveland, Ohio under Ohio law and the rules of the
Center for Public Resources or American Arbitration Association (as the claimant
may choose) for arbitration of employment disputes as his sole remedy. The award
of the arbitrator shall be enforceable under 9 USC Sections 1-16 in any Court of
competent jurisdiction.

         6. NO ASSIGNMENT OF BENEFIT. It is a condition of this Agreement and
all rights of the Optionee shall be subject thereto, that no right or interest
of the Optionee shall be assignable or subject to execution, garnishment,
attachment, pledge, bankruptcy or levy of any kind, but excluding devolution by
death or mental incompetency. Further, no interest of the Optionee and no
benefit payable hereunder shall be assigned as security for a loan, and any such
purported assignment shall be null, void and of no effect, nor shall any such
interest of any such benefit be subject in any manner, either voluntarily or
involuntarily, to anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, or encumbrance by or
through the Optionee. If any attempt is made to alienate, pledge or charge any

                                       6
<PAGE>

such interest of any such benefit or any debt, liabilities in tort or contract,
or otherwise, of the Optionee contrary to the prohibitions of the preceding
sentence, then the Administrator in his discretion may suspend or forfeit the

Executive’s Base Salary periodically in arrears not less frequently than monthly in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices as in effect from time to time. The Board will consider increases in Executive’s Base Salary

Section 6, nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate Executive’s employment at any time, nor confer on Executive any right to continue in the employ of the Company. 
 
6.2 Termination Without Cause, Voluntary Termination
with Good Reason. 
 
A. General.
If, during the Employment Term, Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (defined below), or Executive voluntarily resigns from the Company for Good Reason (defined below), Executive shall be entitled to the
following severance benefits: 
 
(1) Base Salary, Incentive Bonus, and Benefits. The Company shall continue to pay Executive the sum of the Base Salary plus an amount equal to the average annual bonus paid to Executive in the two (2) previous years in
each of the next two years commencing the day after his Date of Termination (such period being referred to hereinafter as the “Severance Period”), at such intervals as it would have been paid had Executive remained in the active
service of the Company; provided that in the event of a Change of Control after the Date of Termination, the Company shall, within fifteen (15) days of such change, pay Executive in a lump sum the full amount of the remaining Base Pay that would be
due through lapse of time under this sentence; provided further, however, if such termination occurs in contemplation of, at the time of, or within two (2) years after a Change in Control, Executive shall instead be entitled to receive a lump sum
cash payment within fifteen (15) days after such termination equal to three times the sum of the Base Salary plus an amount equal to the average annual bonus paid to Executive in the two previous years. In addition, the Company shall provide for
continuation of his and his eligible dependents’ coverage under the Company’s welfare benefit plans (group life insurance, and comprehensive health, major medical, dental, disability plans) as in effect on his Date of Termination (defined
below) during the Severance Period. In addition, Executive shall receive the incentive bonus (if any) to which he would have been entitled in accordance with Section 4.2 calculated as if he had been employed through the end of the fiscal year of his
termination, but based on the milestones achieved prior to his Date of Termination. 
 
(2) Stock Options. Any stock options heretofore granted to Executive by the Company or granted by the
Company during the Employment Term which are still outstanding but unvested on Executive’s Date of Termination and which would normally have vested during the calendar year in which his Date of 
 

Page 5 

Termination occurs, will vest and become exercisable immediately on Executive’s Date
of Termination. In addition, Executive’s right to exercise stock options shall continue throughout the Severance Period as though Executive’s employment with the Company were continuing and for such time after the end of the Severance
Period as prescribed for exercise following termination of employment in each stock option grant agreement. Any sale of Company stock by Executive shall continue to conform to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, as now in existence and as
hereinafter amended, for so long as Executive is subject to the rules and restrictions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
 
(3) Outplacement Services. The Company shall provide Executive outplacement services at a level commensurate with
Executive’s position, including use of an executive office and secretary, for a period of one (1) year commencing on Executive’s date of termination but in no event extending beyond the date on which Executive commences other full time
employment. 
 
(4) Death
During Severance Period. In the event of Executive’s death during the Severance Period, payments of Base Salary under this Section 6 shall continue to be made during the remainder of the Severance Period to the beneficiary designated in
writing for this purpose by Executive or, if no such beneficiary is specifically designated, to Executive’s estate. Similarly, Executive’s designated beneficiary or estate, as the case may be, may exercise Executive’s remaining rights
under the stock options granted him under Section 4.4. 
 
B. No Mitigation/No Offset. Executive shall not be required to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate the value of any severance benefits contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall any such benefits be reduced by
any earnings or benefits that Executive may receive from any other source. The amounts payable hereunder shall not be subject to setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against Executive or others.

 
6.3 Termination for Cause, Voluntary
Resignation Without Good Reason. 
 
A.
General. If, during the Employment Term, Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or Executive voluntarily resigns from his employment hereunder other than for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled only to
payment of his Base Salary through and including the Date of Termination or resignation. Executive shall have no further right to receive any other compensation or benefits after such termination or resignation of employment, except as determined in
accordance with the normal terms of the employee benefit plans or programs of the Company or as required by law. 
 
B. Cause. Termination for “Cause” shall mean termination of Executive’s employment because of:

 
(1) the failure by Executive to
materially perform his duties with the 
 

Page 6 

 
Company (other
than any such failure resulting from (i) his incapacity due to physical or mental impairment or (ii) such factors as are outside Executive’s control, including, but not limited to, economic downturns, litigation against the Company, or natural
disasters), unless any such failure is corrected within thirty (30) days following written notice by the Board that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes Executive has substantially failed to materially perform his duties;
or 
 
(2) the gross misconduct by
Executive with regard to the Company or any employee of the Company that is materially injurious to the Company or such employee. 
 
No act, or failure to act, by Executive shall be “gross misconduct” unless committed without good faith and without a
reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interest of the Company. No event shall be deemed the basis for Cause unless the Board initiates action to terminate Executive’s employment within sixty (60) days after such event is
known to the Chairman of the Company, or, if Executive is Chairman, known to the chairman of any committee of the Board. 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause without (i) advance written notice provided
to Executive not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the proposed date of termination setting forth the Company’s intention to consider terminating Executive and including a statement of the proposed date of termination and the specific
detailed basis for such consideration of termination for Cause, (ii) an opportunity of Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board no less than five (5) days after the giving of such notice and prior to the proposed date of
termination, (iii) a duly adopted resolution of the Board stating that the actions of Executive constituted Cause and the basis thereof, and (iv) a written determination provided by the Board setting forth the acts and omissions that form the basis
of such termination of employment. Any determination of Cause by the Board hereunder shall be made by the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of all of the members of the Board (other than Executive). Any purported termination
of employment of Executive by the Company which does not meet each and every substantive and procedural requirement of this Section 6.3(B), other than such failure resulting from Executive’s action or inaction, shall be treated for all purposes
under this Agreement as a termination of employment without Cause. 
 
C. Good Reason. For the purposes of this Agreement “Good Reason” means, the occurrence, without the express written consent of Executive, of any of the following events: (i) any reduction or
diminution (except temporarily during any period of disability) in Executive’s titles or positions assured in Section 1(a) under this Agreement, or any material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities with the
Company; (ii) a breach by the Company of any material provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any reduction (other than a reduction (not to exceed ten percent (10%)) that applies, in equal percentages, to all officers (within the
meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the Company), in Executive’s Base Salary or any material failure to timely pay any part of Executive’s compensation (including, without limitation, Base Salary,
and incentive 
 

Page 7 

 
bonus) or to materially
provide in the aggregate the level of benefits contemplated in this Agreement; (iii) the failure of the Company to obtain and deliver to Executive a satisfactory written agreement from any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in accordance with Section 9.4; or (iv) the failure to nominate Executive to the Board during the Employment Term or the removal of Executive from the Board without Cause or as a result of a stockholder election in connection with an
actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company. 
 
6.4 Death or Disability. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate immediately upon his death, or if the Board, based upon appropriate medical evidence, determines Executive
has become physically or mentally incapacitated so as to render him incapable of performing his usual and customary duties as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company for a continuous period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days. If
Executive’s employment with the Company terminates because of death or disability, he or his estate will be entitled to the severance benefits described in Section 6.2 as if Executive had been terminated without Cause by the Company.

 
6.5 Date of Termination. For
purposes of this Agreement, the (“Date of Termination”) of Executive shall be as follows: (i) in the case of termination without Cause as referenced in Section 6.2, the later of the date upon which Executive receives written
notice of termination by the Company or the date specified in such written notice; (ii) in the case of termination for Cause as referenced in Section 6.3, the later of the date upon which Executive receives written notice of termination by the
Company or the date specified in such written notice; (iii) in the case of Executive’s voluntary resignation as referenced in Section 6.2 or 6.3, the date specified in the written notice of resignation from Executive to the Company, or if no
date is specified, the date upon which the Company receives such written notice; (iv) in the case of the death of Executive, his date of death; and (v) in the case of termination because of disability, the date specified by the Board in its
determination of such disability under Section 6.4 
 
7. EXCISE TAX 
 
7.1
Gross-up Payment. In the event that Executive shall become entitled to payments and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the nature of compensation (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other
plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) as a result of such
change in ownership or effective control (collectively the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (and any similar tax that
may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority) the Company shall pay to Executive at the time specified in paragraph (d) below an additional amount (the “Gross-up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by Executive, after
deduction of any Excise Tax on the Company Payments and any U.S. federal, state, and for local income or payroll tax upon the Gross-up Payment provided for by this paragraph 7.1, but before deduction for any U.S. federal, state, and local income or
payroll tax on the Company Payments, shall be equal to the Company 
 

Page 8 

 
Payments. 
 
7.2 Determination of Excise Tax Payments. For
purposes of determining whether any of the Company Payments and Gross-up Payments (collectively the “Total Payments”) will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (i) the Total Payments shall be treated as
“parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as
subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that, in the opinion of the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) or tax
counsel selected by such accountants (the “Accountants”) such Total Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments,” represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the “base amount” or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (ii) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accountants
in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code. 
 
7.3 Adjustment of Gross-Up Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay U.S. federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of U.S. federal income
taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the state and locality of Executive’s residence for the calendar year in which the Company
Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in U.S. federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes if paid in such year. In the event that the Excise Tax is subsequently determined by the
Accountants to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made, Executive shall repay to the Company, at the time that the amount of such reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the
prior Gross-up Payment attributable to such reduction (plus the portion of the Gross-up Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and U.S. federal, state and local income tax imposed on the portion of the Gross-up Payment being repaid by Executive if
such repayment results in a reduction in Excise Tax or a U.S. federal, state and local income tax deduction), plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event any portion of the Gross-up Payment to be refunded to the Company has been paid to any U.S. federal, state and local tax authority, repayment thereof (and related amounts) shall not be required until actual refund or credit of such portion
has been made to Executive, and interest payable to the Company shall not exceed the interest received or credited to Executive by such tax authority for the period it held such portion. Executive and the Company shall mutually agree upon the course
of action to be pursued (and the method of allocating the expense thereof) if Executive’s claim for refund or credit is denied. 
 
In the event that the Excise Tax is later determined by the Accountant or the Internal Revenue Service to exceed the amount taken into
account hereunder at the time the Gross-up Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Gross-up Payment), the Company shall make an additional Gross-up Payment in
respect of such excess (plus any 
 

Page 9 

 
interest or penalties payable
with respect to such excess) at the time that the amount of such excess is finally determined. 
 
7.4 Payment Date. The Gross-up Payment or portion thereof provided for in Section 7.3 shall be paid not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following an event occurring which subjects
Executive to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the amount of such Gross-up Payment or portion thereof cannot be finally determined on or before such day, the Company shall pay to Executive on such day an estimate, as determined in good
faith by the Accountant, of the minimum amount of such payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code), subject to further payments pursuant to Section 7.3
hereof, as soon as the amount thereof can reasonably be determined, but in no event later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the occurrence of the event subjecting Executive to the Excise Tax. In the event that the amount of the estimated payments
exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to Executive, payable on the fifth (5th) day after demand by the Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code). 
 
7.5 IRS
Controversy. In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) with regard to the Excise Tax, Executive shall permit the Company to control issues related to the Excise Tax (at its expense),
provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect Executive, but Executive shall control any other issues. In the event the issues are interrelated, Executive and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to
jeopardize resolution of either issue, but if the parties cannot agree Executive shall make the final determination with regard to the issues. In the event of any conference with any taxing authority as to the Excise Tax or associated income taxes,
Executive shall permit the representative of the Company to accompany Executive, and Executive and Executive’s representative shall cooperate with the Company and its representative. 
 
7.6 Accountant Charges. The Company shall be responsible for all charges of the Accountant.

 
7.7 Copies of Communications. The
Company and Executive shall promptly deliver to each other copies of any written communications, and summaries of any verbal communications, with any taxing authority regarding the Excise Tax covered by this Section 7. 
 
8. LIABILITY INSURANCE 
 
8.1 Coverage. The Company shall cover Executive
under directors and officers liability insurance both during and, while potential liability exists, after the Employment Term in the same amount and to the same extent, if any, as the Company covers its other officers and directors. 
 
8.2 Indemnification. The Company shall during
and after the Employment Term indemnify and hold harmless Executive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable 
 

Page 10 

 
law with regard to actions or
inactions taken by Executive in the performance of his duties as an officer, director and employee of the Company and its affiliates or as a fiduciary of any benefit plan of the Company and its affiliates. 
 
9. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 
9.1 Payment of Legal Fees. The Company shall
pay Executive’s reasonable legal and financial consulting fees and costs associated with entering into this Agreement, such fees and costs to not exceed $10,000 and to be itemized to the extent they exceed $4,000.
