To the extent that this Agreement is subject to Section 409A, Employee and the Company agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement will be construed and interpreted to the maximum extent reasonably possible to comply with and avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest under Section 409A.

Tax Matters. The Company will be entitled to withhold from any payments due under the Plan the amount of tax withholding it determines, in its sole discretion, to be required by law. The Company intends that the Plan will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder (“[Section 409A]”) and that the compensation arrangements under the Plan will be exempt from [Section 409A] as “short-term deferrals” as described in [Section 409A]. The Plan will be construed in a manner to give effect to such intention. In accordance therewith, a Covered Executive’s right to receive any installment payments under this Plan shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. To the extent that any provision of the Plan is ambiguous as to its exemption from [Section 409A], the provision will be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from or comply with Section 409A. To the extent that any bonus payment under the Plan is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of [Section 409A], the bonus payment will be subject to such additional rules and requirements as specified by the Compensation Committee from time to time in order to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to a Covered Executive or any other person if any provision of this Plan, or any bonus payment hereunder, is determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but does not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, [Section 409A].
