b.Additional Payments and Benefits. The Executive shall also be entitled to receive:

iv.continued medical, dental and vision insurance coverage for the Executive and the Executive’s eligible dependents or, to the extent such coverage is not commercially available, such other arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Executive, on the same basis as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control or the Qualifying Termination, whichever is deemed to provide for more substantial benefits, during the Benefit Continuation Period; provided that the amount of benefits the Executive receives in any one year shall not affect the amount of benefits he may receive in any subsequent year; and

a.Payments and benefits provided pursuant to Section 4(a), (b)(ii), (iii) and (iv) and (c) are conditioned on the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims agreement and covenant not to sue (a “Release”). The Company shall deliver the Release to the Executive within seven (7) days following the date of the Qualifying Event (and the Company’s failure to deliver a Release prior to the expiration of such seven (7) day period shall constitute a waiver of any requirement to execute a Release) and the Executive shall be required to execute and deliver the Release on or prior to the Release Expiration Date. If the Executive fails to execute the Release on or prior to the Release Expiration Date or timely revokes his/her acceptance of the Release following timely execution and delivery thereof, the Executive shall not be entitled to receive any of the conditional payments and benefits provided pursuant to Section 4. For purposes of this Agreement, “Release Expiration Date” shall mean the date that is 21 days following the date upon which the Company timely delivers the Release to the Executive, or, in the event that the Executive’s termination of employment is “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program (as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967), the date that is 45 days following such delivery date.

c.Payments and benefits provided pursuant to Section 4 shall be subject to any applicable payroll and other taxes required to be withheld.

6.Compensation upon Death, Disability or Retirement. If the Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death, Disability or Retirement prior to any other termination, the Executive will be entitled to receive:

a.An immediate lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of (i) the Executive’s accrued but unpaid salary through the date of such termination, and (ii) an amount equal to any accrued vacation pay, in each case in full satisfaction of the Executive’s rights thereto, payable in no event later than thirty (30) days following such termination of employment;

b.Subject to the Executive’s (or his/her estate’s) execution and non-revocation of a Release pursuant to Section 5(a), a lump sum cash payment equal to the pro rata portion of 100% of the Executive’s Bonus, calculated through the date of termination of employment, payable at the time set forth in Section 5(b); and

c.other accrued or vested benefits and any compensation previously deferred, payable in accordance with the terms of the applicable plans.

7.Excess Parachute Payments. If it is determined (as hereafter provided) that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or

otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, including without limitation any stock option, stock appreciation right or similar right, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on, or the vesting or exercisability of, any of the foregoing (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) by reason of being “contingent on a change in ownership or control” of the Company, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or to any similar tax imposed by state or local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest or penalties, are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then, in the event that the after-tax value of all Payments to the Executive (such after-tax value to reflect the deduction of the Excise Tax and all income or other taxes on such Payments) would, in the aggregate, be less than the after-tax value to the Executive of the Safe Harbor Amount, (a) the cash portions of the Payments payable to the Executive under this Agreement shall be reduced, in the order in which they are due to be paid, until the Parachute Value of all Payments paid to the Executive, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount, and (b) if the reduction of the cash portions of the Payments, payable under this Agreement, to zero would not be sufficient to reduce the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, then any cash portions of the Payments payable to the Executive under any other agreements, policies, plans, programs or arrangements shall be reduced, in the order in which they are due to be paid, until the Parachute Value of all Payments paid to the Executive, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount, and (c) if the reduction of all cash portions of the Payments, payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, to zero would not be sufficient to reduce the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, then non-cash portions of the Payments shall be reduced, in the order in which they are due to be paid, until the Parachute Value of all Payments paid to the Executive, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount. All calculations under this section shall be determined by the Company and the Company’s outside auditors.

8.Expenses. In addition to all other amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of twenty (20) years following the Qualifying Event, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for legal fees (including, without limitation, any and all court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Executive in connection with or as a result of any claim, action or proceeding brought by the Company or the Executive with respect to or arising out of this Agreement or any provision hereof; provided, however, that in the case of an action brought by the Executive, the Company shall have no obligation for any such legal fees if the Company is successful in establishing with the court that the Executive’s action was frivolous or otherwise without any reasonable legal or factual basis. All such expenses shall be reimbursed by December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year.

9.Offsets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that the Executive receives severance or similar payments and/or benefits under any other Company plan, program, agreement, policy, practice or arrangement, or under the WARN Act or similar state law, the payments and benefits due to the Executive under this Agreement will be correspondingly reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

10.Section 409A Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company determines that the Executive is deemed at the time of his/her Separation from

Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent delayed commencement of the payment of any portion of the amounts to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then such portion shall not be provided to the Executive prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or (b) the date of the Executive’s death. Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 10 shall be paid in a lump sum to the Executive, plus interest thereon from the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service through the payment date at a rate equal to the prime rate of interest as reported in the Wall Street Journal from time to time. Any remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

12. Obligations Absolute; Non-Exclusivity of Rights; Joint and Several Liability.

a.The obligations of the Company to make the payment to the Executive and to make the arrangements provided for herein shall be absolute and unconditional and, except as provided in Section 7 or 9, shall not be reduced by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against the Executive or any third party at any time.

b.Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such rights as the Executive may have under any agreements with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

13. Not an Employment Agreement; Effect on Other Rights.

a.This Agreement is not, and nothing herein shall be deemed to create, a contract of employment between the Executive and the Company. The Company may terminate the employment of the Executive at any time, subject to the terms of this Agreement and/or any employment agreement or arrangement between the Company and the Executive that may then be in effect.

b.With respect to any employment agreement with the Executive in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, nothing herein shall have any effect on the Executive’s rights thereunder; provided, however, that in the event of the Executive’s termination of employment in accordance with Section 3(b) hereof, this Agreement shall govern solely for the purpose of providing the terms of all payments and additional benefits to which the Executive is entitled upon such termination and any payments or benefits provided under any employment agreement with the Executive in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control shall reduce the corresponding type of payments or benefits hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control under the circumstances provided for in Section 3(b)(ii) and such circumstances also entitle the Executive to payments and benefits under any other employment or other agreement as in effect prior to the Change in Control (and “Other Agreement”), then, until the Change in Control occurs, the Executive will receive the payments and benefits to which he is entitled under such Other Agreement. Upon the occurrence of the

Change in Control, such Other Agreement shall automatically terminate as to any rights of the Executive with no further liability of the Company thereunder, and the Company will pay to the Executive in cash the amount to which he is entitled under this Agreement (reduced by the amounts already paid under the Other Agreement) in respect of cash payments and shall provide or increase any other noncash benefits to those provided for hereunder (after taking into account noncash benefits, if any, provided under such Other Agreement). Amounts which are vested benefits or which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan or program of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be payable in accordance with such plan or program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

14. Successors; Binding Agreement; Assignment.

a.The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business of the Company, by agreement to expressly, absolutely and unconditionally assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to terminate the Executive’s employment with the Company or such successor for Good Reason immediately prior to or at any time after such succession. Upon and following the assumption of this Agreement by a successor, “Company,” as used in this Agreement, shall mean (i) the Company (as defined above), and (ii) any successor to all the stock of the Company or to all or substantially all of the Company’s business or assets which executes and delivers an agreement provided for in this Section 14(a) or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law, including any parent or subsidiary of such a successor.

b.This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributes, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amount would be payable to the Executive hereunder if the Executive had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Executive’s estate or designated beneficiary. Neither this Agreement nor any right arising hereunder may be assigned or pledged by the Executive.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement will be immediately taxable to the Executive under Section 409A, the Company reserves the right (without any obligation to do so or to indemnify the Executive for failure to do so) to (a) adopt such amendments to this Agreement and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect, that the Company determines to be necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by this Agreement, to preserve the economic benefits of this Agreement and to avoid less favorable accounting or tax consequences for the Company and/or (b) take such other actions as the Company determines to be necessary or appropriate to exempt the amounts payable hereunder from Section 409A or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to transfer any liability for failure to comply with Section 409A from the Executive or any other individual to the Company or any of its affiliates, employees or agents.

21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
