All Awards shall constitute a special incentive payment to the Participant and shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Participant for the purpose of determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, life insurance or other benefit plan of the Company or under any agreement between the Company and the Participant, unless such plan or agreement specifically provides otherwise.

Nothing contained herein shall in any way limit an Employee's right to participate in or benefit from any current or deferred compensation plan for which he is currently eligible by reason of his employment.

Other Benefit Plans. In the event that a provision of any other plan or benefit program of the Employer is more favorable to a Participant with respect to the treatment of any Award upon termination of employment or in connection with a Change in Control than the provisions contained in this Plan or an applicable Award Agreement, the provisions of such other plan or benefit program will control.

Other Benefit Plans. Employee shall be eligible to participate in any and all other employee benefit plans, health plans, or arrangements, if any, made available from time to time by the Company to its employees to the extent Employee meets the eligibility requirements to receive such benefits. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall in any way restrict the Company’s right to, or not to, offer, amend, modify or terminate any of its benefits or benefit plans during the terms of Employee’s employment.

Other Benefit Plans. Eligible Executives will receive any vested, accrued benefits to which they have become entitled under any of the Company’s employee benefit plans covering the Eligible Executive in accordance with and subject to the respective provisions of such employee benefit plans as they may be amended from time to time.

Benefit Plans. Except as would not reasonably be expected to be material to the Company Group, considered as one enterprise, all Benefit Plans have been operated, maintained, funded and administered in compliance in all material respects with their respective terms and all applicable laws, including ERISA and the Code, and no Benefit Plan has any unfunded or underfunded liabilities. There are no pending, or to the knowledge of the Company Group, threatened material claims by or on behalf of any Benefit Plan, by any employee or beneficiary covered under any such Benefit Plan, or otherwise involving any such Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits). No member of the Company Group nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates sponsors, maintains, contributes to or has any liability, contingent or otherwise, with respect to, or has ever sponsored, maintained, contributed to or had any liability, contingent or otherwise, with respect to, any defined benefit pension plan subject to Title IV or [Section 302] of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in [Section 4001(a)(3)] of ERISA) or a “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of Section 412(c) of the Code). No member of the Company Group has any liability, contingent or otherwise, to provide any post-retirement life, health or welfare benefits, other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or similar applicable state laws. No Benefit Plan is a “non-qualified deferred compensation plan” subject to Section 409A of the Code. Each Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is the subject of a favorable determination or opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service as to such qualification and, to the knowledge of the Company Group, nothing has occurred, whether by action or failure to act, which would reasonably be expected to adversely affect such qualification. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (whether alone or in conjunction with a subsequent event) will entitle any employee or other service provider of the Company Group to any compensatory payment or benefit, increase the amount of any compensatory payment or benefit, accelerate the time of payment or vesting or result in the funding of any compensatory payment or benefit, or result in any loan forgiveness. No member of the Company Group has any obligation to pay any tax gross-up or similar payments.

Benefit Plans. The Company is not a party to any benefit plan under which the Company currently has an obligation to provide benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director of the Company.

Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, the Executive and/or the Executive's family, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit plans, practices, policies, and programs provided by the Company and its Affiliated Companies (including, without limitation, medical, executive medical, annual executive physical, prescription, dental, vision, short-term disability, long-term disability, executive long-term disability, salary continuance, employee life, group life, accidental death and dismemberment, and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and its Affiliated Companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies, and programs provide the Executive with benefits which are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of such plans, practices, policies, and programs in effect for the Executive at any time during the 90-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and its Affiliated Companies.

Benefit Plans. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be eligible to participate in all retirement and employment benefit plans and programs of the Company that are generally available to senior executives of the Company. Executive may also receive long term incentive grants pursuant to the Company’s long-term incentive program(s). Such participation shall be pursuant to the terms and conditions of such plans and programs, as the same shall be amended from time to time. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Executive shall be entitled to receive relocation benefits consistent with the Company’s policy in effect from time to time with adjustments as approved by a representative of the Compensation Committee.

Subject only to such limitations or restrictions as may relate to the Executive personally, during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, the Company will at the Executive’s request include the Executive in all of the Company’s employee benefits programs and plans (including, but not limited to, group medical plans) provided by the Company to its executive employees, for so long as such programs and plans are continued by the Company and are available to its executive employees generally, and the Company will pay the premium cost of such participation to the same extent as the Company pays for its other executives.
