Re:    Letter Amendment to Management Agreement with an effective date of July 24, 2000

Dear Paul:

This letter shall serve as the Fourth Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Management Agreement between Rudolph Technologies, Inc. (“Company”) and yourself (“Executive”) with an effective date of July 24, 2000, as amended August 20, 2009, May 19, 2010 and September 27, 2011 (the “Agreement”).  The effective date of this Amendment shall be the date first set forth above.  The Company respectfully requests that the Management Agreement be amended, as follows:

		
	A.
	Delete Section 2.(b) in its entirety and replace it with the following:

		
	“(b)
	Term: Subject to the provisions of Section 3(a), the “Term” of this Agreement shall be for two (2) years from the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated by either party as provided in Section 4(a) below, subject to automatic renewals for successive two (2) year terms unless either party has delivered written notice not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the initial Term or any renewal thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall terminate on December 31, 2015.”

		
	B.
	Delete Section 4.(c)(x) in its entirety and replace it with the following:

		
	“(x)
	two (2) years from the Termination Date or December 31, 2015, whichever is sooner; or”

		
	C.
	Delete Section 4.(d) iii.1. in its entirety and replace it with  the following:

		
	“1.
	Two and one half (21⁄2) years from the Termination Date; or December 31, 2015 whichever is sooner; or”

		
	D.
	Delete Section 4.(e) iii. in its entirety and replace it with the following:

		
	“iii.
	Retirement Bonus.  A retirement bonus (“Retirement Bonus”) in the amount of $200,000.00 shall be paid to Executive on or about the Retirement Date.” 

		
	E.
	Amend the Agreement to include Section 10. Term Extension RSU Grant which reads as follows:

		
	“10.
	Term Extension RSU Grant.  Pursuant to the Company's 2009 Stock Plan, as of February 6, 2013 the Company hereby grants to the Executive a total of 200,000 RSU's as an incentive to enter into this Amendment (the “Extension RSUs”).  The Extension RSUs shall be separate from any other annual or other equity awards granted to the Executive.  The Extension RSUs shall be earned as follows (all EPS goals used in this incentive are non-GAAP Earnings per Share consistent with the Executive Bonus EPS metric):

		
	(a)
	For the years 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Board shall approve an EPS goal for the Company (the “Extension Annual EPS Goals”) for use as a performance metric hereunder.

		
	(b)
	100% of the Extension RSUs granted shall be earned upon the Company meeting the cumulative Extension Annual EPS Goals. Should the Company not meet the total cumulative Extension Annual EPS Goals, Executive shall receive the percent of the Extension RSUs which equals the percentage of the cumulative Extension Annual EPS Goals that was actually realized.

		
	(c)
	In the event that the Company exceeds the cumulative Extension Annual EPS Goals, the RSU earnout shall be increased on a linear basis up to a maximum of 120% of the total Extension RSUs granted (i.e. up to an additional 40,000 RSUs).

		
	(d)
	If during the term hereof, Executive resigns from employment for Good Reason or Executive's employment with Company is terminated without Cause or following a Change in Control pursuant to Section 5(b) above, then the total Extension RSU grant set forth in this Section  shall fully vest.

		
	(e)
	RSUs that have satisfied the EPS performance conditions set forth above, except those Extension RSUs vesting pursuant to Section 10(d) above, will remain unvested until December 31, 2015, at which time the RSUs earned pursuant to the above performance goals will become vested and paid in shares of Company common stock as long as Executive remains employed by the Company through that date.

		
	(f)
	During the course of any individual year, in the event of an acquisition, EPS performance objectives may be modified upon the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board.

		
	(g)
	The Board reserves the right in its sole discretion to exclude any Extension Annual EPS Goal due to circumstances beyond the control of the Executive and thereafter base the RSU earnout on the remaining Annual EPS Goals, up to a 120% maximum on the remaining Extension Annual EPS Goals set forth above.”

		
	F.
	All other terms and conditions of the Agreement as amended shall remain in full force and effect.

If you are in agreement with the foregoing Amendment to the Agreement please sign below and return one (1) original to my attention and retain the other original for your files.

Very truly yours,

Exhibit 10.11

ARTICLE IV 
PARTICIPANT DEFERRALS

4.1.    Deferral Elections – General.  A Participant’s deferral election for a Plan Year is irrevocable for such Plan Year; except to the extent a cessation of deferrals hereunder is required under Section 4.5 or except as permitted by Section 4.6.  Amounts deferred under the Plan shall not be distributed to a Participant except as expressly provided in Article V or as otherwise permitted under Code Section 409A.  A deferral election hereunder shall be made on an Election Form and comply with the applicable requirements of this Article IV.  A Participant’s initial deferral election under the Plan shall designate: (i) the amount of Deferrable Compensation that is being deferred, (ii) the time of the distribution (as permitted in Section 5.1(a)), and (iii) the form of distribution (as permitted in Section 5.1). The Administrator may establish procedures for deferral elections as it deems necessary to comply with the requirements of this Article IV and Code Section 409A.

4.2.    First Year of Eligibility.  Notwithstanding the timing requirements of Sections 4.3 and 4.4, an Eligible Employee may elect to defer Deferrable Compensation by completing and executing an Election Form that specifies the amount or percentage of compensation to be deferred within the thirty (30) day period immediately following the date he or she first becomes an Eligible Employee, provided, that the compensation deferred relates to services performed after the date of such election.

4.3.    Deferral of Incentive Compensation.  An Eligible Employee may elect to defer Deferrable Compensation that is Incentive Compensation by completing and executing an Election Form that specifies the amount or percentage of Incentive Compensation to be deferred and filing it with the Administrator before expiration of the election period established by the Administrator, which period shall end no later than June 30 of the calendar year during which the Incentive Compensation is earned, provided that (i) as of the date of such deferral election the Eligible Employee has performed services continuously from the later of the beginning of said calendar year or the date the performance criteria for said calendar year are established by the Committee.

4.4.    Deferral of Restricted Stock Units.  An Eligible Employee may elect to defer Restricted Stock Units to the Plan by completing and executing an Election Form that specifies the amount or percentage of Restricted Stock Units to be deferred and filing it with the Administrator on or before expiration of the election period established by the Administrator, which period shall (i) for purposes of the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2008, end no later than December 31, 2007, (ii) for purposes of the Plan Year beginning January 1, 2009, end no later than December 31, 2008, and (iii) for all subsequent Plan Years, end no later than December 31 of the calendar year ending before the Plan Year that precedes the Plan Year in which such Restricted Stock Units are granted. 

4.5.    Cessation of Deferral Elections.  To the extent provided for under Code Section 409A or under the terms of a Code Section 401(k) plan maintained by the Employer, a Participant’s deferral election(s) in effect under the Plan for a Plan Year in which a Participant is 

8

Exhibit 10.11

granted an Unforeseeable Emergency distribution in accordance with Section 5.2(b) hereof or a hardship distribution under such Code Section 401(k) plan may be terminated by the Administrator, effective as soon as practicable following the grant of such hardship or emergency distribution.  If a Participant’s deferral elections under the Plan are terminated in accordance with the foregoing sentence, such Participant shall be ineligible to make deferrals of compensation to the Plan, and all other plans maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, for the six (6) month period following his or her receipt of the hardship or emergency distribution.  Subject to the foregoing six-month limitation, the Participant may make new deferral elections for Deferrable Compensation payable in subsequent Plan Years in accordance with this Article IV.

4.6.    Changes to Deferral Elections.  A Participant shall be permitted to elect to change the time and form of payment relating to the distribution of his or her Account to the extent permitted by the Administrator and in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C), including the requirements that such redeferral election (a) may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after such redeferral election is filed with the Administrator; (b) must result in the first distribution subject to the redeferral election being made at least five (5) years after the Payment Date; and (c) must be filed with the Administrator at least twelve (12) months before the first scheduled Payment Date.

Exhibit 10.11

ARTICLE V 
DISTRIBUTIONS

5.1.    Time and Form of Payment.

a.    Unless distributed earlier as provided in this Plan, distributions from a Participant's Account will commence within sixty (60) days of the Participant's elected Payment Date. If the Participant is classified as a Specified Employee within the meaning of Section 409A at the time the individual terminates his or her employment, then distributions from a Participant's Account scheduled to be paid on account of the Participant’s Termination of Employment shall not be paid earlier than the date that is at least six months after following the date of such Specified Employee's Termination of Employment. 

b.    Except as otherwise provided under the Plan, a Participant's Account shall be paid as a Lump Sum Payment or an Installment Payment, as elected by the Participant on his or her Election Form.  

c.    In the absence of Participant’s election as to the time and form of payment, as permitted under subsections (a) and (b), above, a Participant’s Account shall be distributed in a Lump Sum Payment within sixty (60) days following the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment.

5.2.    Permissible Distributions.  No distribution under the Plan shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 5.2 or as otherwise permitted under the Plan and Code Section 409A(a)(2). 

a.    Change in Control.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or Participant Election Form to the contrary, a Participant who incurs a Termination of Employment within the two (2) year period immediately following a Change in Control shall receive a Lump Sum Payment of his or her Account within sixty (60) days following the date of such Termination of Employment.

b.    Unforeseeable Emergency.  If a Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, such Participant shall be permitted to withdraw all or a portion of his or her Account in the form of an immediate single-sum payment, subject to the limitations set forth below: 

(i)    A request for withdrawal shall be made, in writing, and shall set forth the circumstances surrounding the Unforeseeable Emergency.  As a condition of and part of such request, the Participant shall provide to the Committee his or her written representation that (A) the hardship cannot be relieved by insurance or other reimbursement reasonably available to the Participant, (B) the hardship can only be relieved by liquidation of the Participant’s assets and any such liquidation would itself result in severe damage or injury to the 

10

Exhibit 10.11

Participant, (C) the Participant has no reasonable borrowing capacity to relieve the hardship, and (D) the hardship cannot be relieved by cessation of the Participant’s deferrals under the Plan. The Committee shall be entitled to request such additional information as may be reasonably required to determine whether an Unforeseeable Emergency exists and the amount of the hardship and to establish additional conditions precedent to the review or granting of a request for a withdrawal on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency. 

(ii)    If the Committee determines that an Unforeseeable Emergency exists, the Committee shall authorize the immediate distribution of the amount required to meet the financial need created by such Unforeseeable Emergency, including any taxes payable on such amount, and, if required, the cessation of the Participant’s deferrals to the Plan as permitted in Section 4.5.

c.    Death Distribution.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or Participant Election Form to the contrary, in the event of a Participant’s death before the complete distribution of his or her Account, the distribution of such Participant’s Account shall be made in a Lump Sum Payment to the Participant’s Beneficiary within sixty (60) days after the date of death. 

5.3    Permissible Acceleration of Payments.  No acceleration of time or schedule of payments under the Plan shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 5.3 or as otherwise permitted under the Plan and Code Section 409A(a)(3).

a.    Right of Offset.  If a Participant is indebted to the Employer, then the Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate a payment hereunder or withhold the amount of such indebtedness from any distribution to be made to the Participant, his or her Beneficiary or both, provided that (i) such debt was incurred in the ordinary course of the employment relationship between the Employer and the Participant, (ii) the entire amount of reduction for a Plan Year does not exceed $5,000, and (iii) the reduction is made at the same time and in the same amount as the debt otherwise would have been due and collected from the Participant.

b.    Distribution for Taxes.  The Plan may accelerate payment of all or part of a Participant’s Account to pay or withhold state, local, or foreign tax obligations; taxes imposed under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act or the Railroad Retirement Act; and any related federal income tax thereon, arising from a Participant’s participation in the Plan.  Such payment of withholding must be limited to the amount necessary to fulfill such tax obligation.

11

Exhibit 10.11

c.    Small Payment.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the total value of a Participant’s Account or death benefit payable hereunder is not greater than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B), and the Participant is not entitled to a benefit from any other plan that is required to be aggregated with this Plan pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2), the Administrator may distribute such amount to the Participant or Beneficiary in the form of a Lump Sum Payment within sixty (60) days following Termination of Employment.

d.    Income Inclusion under 409A.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Administrator may distribute to Participants the portion of their Accounts that is required to be included in income as a result of such failure.

5.4.    Permissible Delay of Payment.  The Administrator may delay payment to a date after the designated payment date pursuant to any of the following circumstances, provided that payments to similarly situated Participants are made on a reasonably consistent basis.

a.    Payments subject to Section 162(m).  All scheduled payments to a Participant may be delayed beyond the applicable distribution date under Section 5.1 herein to the extent that the Employer reasonably anticipates that if all or a portion of a payment were made as scheduled, the Company or Employer’s deduction with respect to such payment would not be permitted due to the application of Code Section 162(m).  Any payment that is delayed pursuant to this Section 5.5(a), must be made either during the first calendar year in which the Employer reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the payment is made during such year, deduction of such payment will not be barred by application of Code Section 162(m), or during the period beginning with the date of the Participant’s Termination of Employment and ending on the later of the last day of the taxable year in which Termination of Employment occurs or the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the Termination of Employment.

b.    Payments that would violate federal securities laws or other applicable law.  A payment may be delayed where the Administrator reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate federal securities laws or other applicable law, provided that the payment is made at the earliest date at which the Administrator reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will not cause such violation.  For purposes of this Section 5.4(b), the making of a payment that would cause inclusion in gross income or the application of any penalty provision or other provision of the Code is not treated as a violation of applicable law.

12

Exhibit 10.11

5.5     Payment Deemed Timely.  A payment shall be treated as made upon the date specified under the Plan under the following circumstances:

a.    If the payment is made at such date or a later date within the same calendar year or, if later, by the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date specified under the Plan. 

b.    If calculation of the amount of the payment is not administratively practicable due to events “beyond the control” of the Participant, or the Participant’s Beneficiary (as such phrase is defined under Code Section 409A), the payment will be treated as made upon the date specified under the Plan if the payment is made during the first calendar year in which the calculation of the amount of the payment is administratively practicable. 

c.    If the Employer fails to make a payment, in whole or in part, as of the date specified under the Plan, either intentionally or unintentionally, the payment will be treated as made upon the date specified under the Plan if (i) the Participant accepts the portion (if any) of the payment that the Employer is willing to make (unless such acceptance will result in a relinquishment of the claim to all or part of the remaining amount), (ii) if the Participant files claims pursuant to Sections 8.6 and 8.7 herein to collect the unpaid portion of the payment, and (iii) any further payment (including payment of a lesser amount that satisfies the Employer’s obligation to make the entire payment) is made no later than the end of the first calendar year in which the Employer and the Participant enter into a legally binding settlement of such dispute, the Employer concedes that the amount is payable, or the Employer is required to make such payment pursuant to a final and nonappealable judgment or other binding decision. 

5.6.    Valuation of Distributions.  All distributions under this Plan shall be based upon a daily valuation of the Participant’s Account or, where applicable, the Fair Market Value of the shares of Company Stock that relate to the Restricted Stock Units deferred under the Participant’s Account, as determined by the Administrator.

Exhibit 10.11

ARTICLE VI 
ACCOUNTS

6.1.    Account.  The Administrator shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, a separate Account for each Participant hereunder who executes an election pursuant to Article IV.  Each such Participant’s Deferrable Compensation deferred pursuant to an Election Form under Article IV shall be separately accounted for and credited with earnings or dividends, as applicable, for recordkeeping purposes only, to his or her Account.  A Participant’s Account shall be solely for the purposes of measuring the amounts to be paid under the Plan.  Except as provided in Article VII, the Company shall not be required to fund or secure a Participant’s Account in any way, the Company’s obligation to Participants hereunder being purely contractual.

6.2.    Crediting of Earnings on Non-Stock Compensation.  Except as provided in Section 6.3, a Participant may hypothetically invest his Account in one or more investment alternatives made available by the Committee, and earnings or losses thereon shall be credited to the Participant’s Account in accordance with the valuation procedures under such investment alternatives.  The Participant shall make his or her investment elections, and changes thereto, on an Election Form in accordance with procedures established by the Administrator.  Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the investment alternatives available under the Plan shall mirror the alternatives that are made available under the Code Section 401(k) plan sponsored by the Company.  

6.3.    Crediting of Earnings on Restricted Stock Units.  The portion of a Participant’s Account attributable to Restricted Stock Units shall be deemed invested solely in stock equivalent units of Company Stock, shall be denominated in numbers of stock units, and shall be valued at any time as the stock equivalent units are credited to such Account multiplied by the then-Fair Market Value of the Company Stock.  Whenever a dividend is declared and payable on Company Stock, the number of such stock equivalent units in the Participant’s Account shall be increased by the following calculations: 

(i)    the number of units in the Participant’s Account multiplied by any cash dividend declared by the Company on a share of Company Stock, divided by the Fair Market Value determined as of the related dividend payment date; and/or 

(ii)    the number of units in the Participant’s Account on the related dividend payment date multiplied by any stock dividend declared by the Company on a share of Company Stock. 

In the event of any change in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Company Stock, including a stock split or splits (other than a stock dividend as provided above), an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of units credited to the Participant’s Account.  

14

Exhibit 10.11

6.4    Statement of Account.  As soon as practicable after the end of each Plan Year (and at such additional times as the Administrator may determine), the Administrator shall furnish each Participant with a statement of the balance credited to the Participant’s Account. 

6.5.    Vesting.  A Participant is always one hundred percent (100%) vested in his or her Account.

ARTICLE VII
FUNDING AND PARTICIPANTS INTEREST

7.1.    Plan Unfunded.  This Plan shall be unfunded and no trust is created by this Plan.  There will be no funding of any amounts to be paid pursuant to this Plan; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from establishing one or more grantor trusts from which benefits due under this Plan may be paid in certain instances.  All benefits shall be paid from the general assets of the Company and a Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall have the rights of a general, unsecured creditor against the Company for any distributions due hereunder.  This Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Company to make benefit payments in the future.

7.2    Establishment of Grantor Trust.  Within fifteen (15) days following a Change in Control, the Company shall establish under the Plan a grantor trust that meet the requirements of IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64, and shall transfer assets to such trust in amounts sufficient to fully fund the Plan’s aggregate liability with respect to the Accounts under the Plan on and after the date of the Change in Control.

7.3.    Participants’ Interest in Plan.  Notwithstanding Section 7.2 or any other provision of the Plan, a Participant has an interest only in the value of the amount credited to his or her Account and has no rights or interests in the specific investment funds, stock, or securities in which his or her Account is hypothetically invested under the Plan.  All distributions shall be paid by the Employer from its general assets and a Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall have the rights of a general, unsecured creditor against the Company or the Employer for any distributions due hereunder.  The Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Company or the Employer to make benefit payments in the future.

ARTICLE VIII 
ADMINISTRATION AND INTERPRETATION

8.1.    Administration.  The Administrator shall be in charge of the overall operation and administration of this Plan.  The Administrator has, to the extent appropriate and in addition to the powers described elsewhere in this Plan, full discretionary authority to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan; to adopt, alter and repeal administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan; to perform all acts, including the delegation of its administrative responsibilities to advisors or other persons who may or may not be Employees; and to rely upon the information or opinions of legal counselor experts selected to render advice with respect to the Plan, as it shall deem advisable, with respect to the administration of the Plan. 

8.2.    Interpretation.  The Administrator may take any action, correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, or in any election hereunder, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary to carry the Plan into effect or to carry out the Employer’s purposes in adopting the Plan.  Any decision, interpretation or other action made or taken in good faith by or at the direction of the Employer or the Administrator arising out of or in connection with the Plan, shall be within the absolute discretion of each of them, and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Employer, and all Participants and Beneficiaries and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.  The Administrator’s determinations hereunder need not be uniform, and may be made selectively among Eligible Employees, whether or not they are similarly situated. 

8.3.    Records and Reports.  The Administrator shall keep a record of proceedings and actions and shall maintain or cause to be maintained all such books of account, records, and other data as shall be necessary for the proper administration of the Plan.  Such records shall contain all relevant data pertaining to individual Participants and their rights under this Plan.  The Administrator shall have the duty to carry into effect all rights or benefits provided hereunder to the extent assets of the Employer are properly available. 

8.4.    Payment of Expenses.  The Employer shall bear all expenses incurred by the Administrator in administering this Plan. 

8.5.    Indemnification for Liability.  The Employer shall indemnify the Committee, the Administrator and the Employees to whom administrative duties have been delegated under this Plan, against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses and liabilities arising from their responsibilities in connection with this Plan, unless the same is determined to be due to gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

8.6.    Claims Procedure.  Within ninety (90) days following the date payment was due in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Participant or the Participant’s duly authorized representative (hereinafter, the “claimant”) may file a written request for payment with the 

17

Exhibit 10.11

Administrator.  If a claim for benefits under the Plan is denied in whole or in part, the claimant will receive written notification within forty-five (45) days following the date of such written request.  The notification will include specific reasons for the denial, specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Plan, a description of any additional material or information necessary to process the claim and why such material or information is necessary, and an explanation of the claims review procedure.  To the extent a Participant hereunder is a claimant and serves as an Administrator, he or she shall not participate in any determination relating to his or her claim, and the Committee or the Company may appoint an independent individual to take the place of such Participant for purposes of making such determination.

8.7.    Review Procedure.  No later than one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date payment was due under the Plan, the claimant may file a written request with the Administrator for a review of his denied claim.  The claimant may review pertinent documents that were used in processing his claim, submit pertinent documents, and address issues and comments in writing to the Administrator.  The Administrator will notify the claimant of his or her final decision in writing.  In his or her response, the Administrator will explain the reason for the decision, with specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision was based.  To the extent a Participant hereunder is a claimant requesting a review and serves as an Administrator, he or she shall not participate in any determination relating to the review, and the Committee or the Company may appoint an independent individual to take the place of such Participant for purposes of making such determination.

8.8.    Legal Claims.  In no event may a claimant commence legal action for benefits the claimant believes are due the claimant until the claimant has exhausted all of the remedies and procedures afforded the claimant by this Article VIII.  No such legal action may be commenced more than two (2) years after the date of the Administrator’s final review decision, described in Section 8.7 above. 

8.9.    Participant and Beneficiary Information.  Each Participant shall keep the Administrator informed of his or her current address and the current address of his or her designated beneficiary or beneficiaries.  A Participant may from time to time change his designated Beneficiary without the consent of such Beneficiary by filing a new designation in writing with the Administrator.  If no Beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of the Participant’s death, or if the designated Beneficiary is missing or has predeceased the Participant, distribution shall be made to the Participant’s surviving spouse, or if none, to his surviving children per stirpes, and if none, to his estate.  The Administrator shall not be obligated to search for any person.  If such person is not located within one year after the date on which payment of the Participant’s death benefit is payable under the Plan, payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

9.1.    Amendment.  The Board shall have the right, at any time, to amend the Plan or discontinue deferrals under the Plan in whole or in part provided that such amendment or termination complies with Code Section 409A and does not adversely affect the right of any Participant or Beneficiary to a benefit or payment due under the Plan.  The Committee has the authority, without Board approval, to amend the Plan to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A, modify the amount or type of compensation that qualifies as Deferrable Compensation, modify the classes of individuals eligible to participate in the Plan, and to change the investment alternatives offered under the Plan.  In addition, the Committee may make such changes to the Plan’s operation and administration as it deems to be in the best interest of the Plan. 

9.2    Termination of Plan.  The Board may take action to provide for the acceleration of the time and form of a payment, or a payment hereunder, where the acceleration of the payment is made pursuant to a termination and liquidation of the Plan in accordance with one of the following:

a.    The termination and liquidation of the Plan pursuant to an irrevocable action taken within the thirty (30) days preceding or the twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, provided that all agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements sponsored by the Company or a participating Affiliate immediately after the Change in Control event with respect to which deferrals of compensation that, together with the Plan, are treated as a single plan for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) (the “Aggregated Plans”) are terminated and liquidated with respect to each Participant that experienced the Change in Control event, so that under the terms of the termination and liquidation all such Participants are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated Aggregated Plans within twelve (12) months of the date of the irrevocable action taken to terminate and liquidate such Aggregated Plans. 

b.    The termination and liquidation of the Plan within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution of the Company that is taxed under Code Section 331, or approved by a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C.

c.    The termination and liquidation of the Plan, where:

(i)    Such termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company or the Affiliate, as applicable; 

(ii)    To the extent the same Participant had deferrals of thereunder, all Aggregated Plans are likewise terminated and liquidated;

(iv)    All payments are made within twenty-four (24) months of the date the irrevocable action is taken to terminate and liquidate the Plan; and 

(v)    The Company and Affiliate, as applicable, does not adopt a new plan that would be aggregated with the Plan if the Participant participated in both plans, at any time within three years following the date the irrevocable action is taken to terminate and liquidate the Plan.

d.    Any other termination and liquidation event that is permissible under Code Section 409A.

ARTICLE X 
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

10.1.    Right of Employer to Take Employment Actions.  The adoption and maintenance of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Employer and any Eligible Employee, or to be a consideration for, nor an inducement or condition of, the employment of any person.  Nothing herein contained, or any action taken hereunder, shall be deemed to give any Eligible Employee the right to be retained in the employ of the Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any Eligible Employee at any time, nor shall it be deemed to give to the Employer the right to require the Eligible Employee to remain in its employ, nor shall it interfere with the Eligible Employee’s right to terminate his or her employment at any time.

Except as otherwise provided under the Plan, a Participant’s rights and interest under the Plan shall not be assigned or transferred except as otherwise provided herein, and the Participant’s rights to benefit payments under the Plan shall not be subject to alienation, pledge or garnishment by or on behalf of creditors (including heirs, beneficiaries, or dependents) of the Participant or of a Beneficiary.

Whenever any words used herein are in the singular form, they shall be construed as though they were also used in the plural form in all cases where they would so apply, and references to the male gender shall be construed as applicable to the female gender where applicable, and vice versa. 

10.7.    Right to Withhold.  To the extent required by law in effect at the time a distribution is made from the Plan, the Employer or its agents shall have the right to withhold or deduct from any distributions or payments any taxes required to be withheld by federal, state or local governments.
