    AGREEMENT

        provided in Paragraph 5.

     

    5.         Separation Assistance.  Upon signing, returning, and not revoking and the Company countersigning this Agreement and
        the Supplemental Release, You will receive the payments and/or benefits described below, subject to Section 5(e):

     

    (a)        Health Insurance. In consideration for Your promises and covenants contained in this Agreement and the Supplemental
        Release, Company agrees to subsidize the cost of health insurance benefits through COBRA coverage by covering the employer paid portion of Your COBRA election for continuation of Your medical coverage for up to Twelve

            (12) months after your medical coverage ends due to the termination of your employment. If You wish to enroll in COBRA continuation medical coverage, You must complete all paperwork necessary to elect COBRA coverage. You understand
        that this will not be done by the Company.  If You fail to elect COBRA coverage or make a payment, the Company has no further duties with respect to health insurance.  Under federal law, COBRA coverage normally lasts no more than a maximum of 18
        months or until you become covered by new health care coverage.

     

    (b)         Equity Awards. In addition to Section 5(a), on the Separation Date all unvested restricted stock issued to You under
        the Company’s long-term incentive plans shall vest, as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto.

     

    (c)        Other Benefits. Except as expressly provided in Sections 5(a) and 5(b) above, no other benefits will be provided to
        You as part of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the termination of Your employment.  Any other benefits to which You may be entitled will be governed by the terms of the appropriate benefit plans or applicable law.

     

    (d)       Acknowledgment. You acknowledge that the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement exceed those which You
        would normally receive upon termination of the employment relationship in this situation and that such additional payments and benefits are in exchange for You signing this Agreement.

     

    (e)         Taxes.  Company does not make any representations and is not providing any advice regarding the taxation of the
        payments described in this Agreement, including, but not limited to taxes, interest, and penalties under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and liabilities under state tax laws (together, “Tax Liabilities”).  No indemnification or gross-up
        is payable under this Agreement with respect to any such Tax Liabilities. You agree to release the Company from any and all claims related to Your Tax Liabilities and hold the Company harmless in the event of any claims made against You related to
        such Tax Liabilities.

        personal and representative capacities, and any other persons or entities acting on behalf of any of these persons or entities.

     

    (c)         Exceptions.  Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a release or waiver by You, or prevents You from making or
        asserting: (i) any claim or right under COBRA; (ii) any claim or right for unemployment insurance or workers’ compensation benefits; (iii) any claim to vested benefits under the written terms of a qualified employee pension or retirement benefit
        plan; and (iv) any claim or right under this Agreement.  In addition, the foregoing release of claims excludes and You do not waive, release or discharge (I) any right to file an administrative charge or complaint with the Equal Employment
        Opportunity Commission or other administrative or government agency; and (II) any right to make claims which cannot be waived by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You agree to waive the right to receive any future monetary recovery directly from
        the Company, including payments from the Company that result from any complaints or charges that you file with any governmental agency or that are filed on your behalf. Finally, nothing in this Agreement is
          intended to or will be used in any way to limit employees’ rights to communicate with a government agency, as provided for, protected under or warranted by applicable law. If it is determined that any claim covered by Paragraph 6 cannot be
        released as a matter of law, this release of claims will remain valid and fully enforceable as to the remaining released claims.
