Executive Acknowledgments. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that # any and all loyalty obligations arising under Paragraph 18 were discussed with, and accepted by, the Executive prior to the commencement of the Executive’s employment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; # the loyalty obligations arising under Paragraph 18 constitute a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement and to agree to employ the Executive on the terms and conditions stated herein; # the loyalty obligations arising under Paragraph 18 are reasonable in time, territory, and scope, and in all other respects; # should any part or provision of any covenant be held invalid, void, or unenforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, voidness, or unenforceability shall not render invalid, void, or unenforceable any other part or provision of this Agreement; and # if any portion of the foregoing provisions is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, territory, definition of activities, or definition of information covered is considered to be invalid or unreasonable in scope, the invalid or unreasonable terms shall be redefined to carry out the Executive’s and the Company’s intent in agreeing to these restrictive covenants. These restrictive covenants shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision in this Agreement and the existence of any claim or cause of action of the Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the loyalty obligations arising under Paragraph 18.

The Company may require that Executive not come to work during the notice period and may assign one or more of Executive’s duties and authority to one or more other individuals.

Specified Executive. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, because Executive is considered a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A, any payment that constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A that is otherwise due to Executive as a result of such Executive’s “separation from service” under this Agreement during the six (6)-month period immediately following Executive’s “separation from service” shall be accumulated and paid to Executive on the first day of the seventh month following such “separation from service” (“Delayed Payment Date”), provided that if Executive dies prior to the payment of such amounts, such amounts shall be paid to the personal representative of Executive’s estate on the first to occur of the Delayed Payment Date or ten (10) days following the date of Executive’s death.

Executive Accounts. The Administration Committee shall establish a book reserve account (“Account”) for each Executive. The Account shall be credited with such amounts as the Administration Committee deems necessary to calculate the Pension Plan- and ESSOP-related benefits payable to the Executive as described in Sections 4.1(a) and 4.1(b). The unpaid balance of an Executive’s Account shall be credited with interest at the same time and at the same rate as Pension Plan participants’ account balances are so credited. As a result of the Pension Plan’s termination, effective August 31, 2017, the unpaid balance of an Executive’s Account shall be credited each year with an interest at a rate equal to the average of the interest rates used by the Pension Plan during the five-year period ending on December 31, 2016.

Executive Benefits. Executive shall be eligible to participate in all Executive benefit plans, policies, programs, or perquisites in which other [[the Company:Organization]] executive or officers participate, including future benefit plans and the [[the Company:Organization]] Stock Option program.

Definition of “Executive.” For purposes of this Plan, Executives shall be those employees of the Company who are selected and approved for participation in the Plan by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) as provided in APPENDIX A hereto, as amended from time to time. The determination of whether an employee is an Executive, and the amount of the applicable multipliers (as listed on APPENDIX A) shall be made by the Board, in its sole discretion, and such determination shall be binding and conclusive on all persons. If an employee who is deemed an Executive by the Board has an individually negotiated employment agreement with the Company providing for severance benefits that is in effect on his or her termination date, the provisions of that agreement relating to severance benefits shall be superseded by the terms of this Plan; provided, however, that all other remaining provisions of such agreement shall remain in effect.
