[Section 4.4] shall be deleted in its entirety.
[Section 1.05] of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
[Section 5.16] of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted.
[Section 1.01] of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:
[Section 7.02-1]1] of the Trust Agreement provides that the Company and the trustee may amend the Trust Agreement prior to a Special Circumstance (as defined in the trust Agreement) without the written consent of the Plan participants if such amendment does not have a material adverse effect on the rights of any participant.
[Section 409A]. Any payment provided under this Agreement is intended to be a short-term deferral as provided by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and the parties agree that the terms and provisions of the Agreement will be construed and interpreted to the maximum extent permitted in order to have this effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any payment provided under this Agreement will be made within the short-term deferral period specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).
[Section 1.2] of the Plan is amended to add the following sentence to the end thereof:
[Section 409A]. All Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Agreement are intended either to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, or, if subject to Section 409A of the Code, to be administered, operated and construed in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and any guidance issued thereunder. This Agreement and the Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent and any provision that would cause the Agreement or Plan to fail to satisfy the first sentence of this section shall have no force and effect. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Restricted Stock Units (and related DERs) that # constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” as defined under Section 409A of the Code and # vest as a consequence of the Grantee’s termination of employment, shall not be delivered until the date that the Grantee incurs a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (or, if the Grantee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and any guidance issued thereunder, the date that is six months and one day following the date of such “separation from service” (or on the date of the Grantee’s death, if earlier)). In addition, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
[Section 409A]. It is intended that all of the severance benefits and other payments payable under this letter satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Code Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9), and this letter will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. For purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), your right to receive any installment payments under this letter (whether severance payments, reimbursements or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this letter, if you are deemed by the Company at the time of your Separation from Service to be a specified employee for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and if any of the payments upon Separation from Service set forth herein and/or under any other agreement with the Company are deemed to be deferred compensation, then to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A, such payments shall not be provided to you prior to the earliest of # the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of your Separation from Service with the Company, # the date of your death or # such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum to you, and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable agreement. No interest shall be due on any amounts so deferred.
It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement will comply with and avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (including the Treasury Regulations and other published guidance related thereto) (“[Section 409A]”). This Agreement will be construed and interpreted consistent with that intent. Any installment payments provided for in this Agreement shall be treated as a series of separate payments for purposes of Code Section 409A.
