[Section 409A]. All payment from the [[Organization A:Organization]] to the Executive must qualify under the “short term deferral exclusion” under the [Section 409A] regulations. Regardless of the reason for the payment, including but not limited to involuntary termination, resignation for good cause or change in control, all payment will be made in the same tax year that the event that caused the obligation for the payment to be made or by the 15th of March in the subsequent year including, following termination of Executive’s employment, payment of any variable compensation earned and owing to Executive under the Variable Compensation Plan for such calendar year. Any payment not received in accordance with this requirement will be deemed forfeited and may not be paid at a later date, unless where making the payment is administratively impracticable due to unforeseen circumstances or where making the payment on time would have unforeseeably rendered the payment nondeductible as excess compensation under Internal Revenue Code.

[Section 409A]. This Agreement and the payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations and interpretive guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “[Section 409A]”) and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the [[Organization A:Organization]] makes no representations that the payments or benefits provided under this Agreement are exempt from the requirements of [Section 409A] and in no event shall the [[Organization A:Organization]] or any other Released Party be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A.

[Section 409A]. To the extent a payment is not paid within the short-term deferral period and is not exempt from section 409A of the Code (such as the rule exempting payments made following an involuntary termination of up to two times pay) then section 409A of the Code shall apply. The Company intends this Award Agreement to comply with section 409A of the Code and will interpret this Award Agreement in a manner that complies with section 409A of the Code. For example, the term “termination” shall be interpreted to mean a separation from service under section 409A of the Code and the six-month delay rule shall apply if applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, although the intent is to comply with section 409A of the Code, Participant shall be responsible for all taxes and penalties under this Award Agreement (the Company and its employees shall not be responsible for such taxes and penalties).
