(a)    The provisions of this Section 21 shall apply notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other agreement to the contrary. In the event that it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by one or both of the Companies to or for the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, the General Partner and/or CPCC, as applicable, will apply a limitation on the Payment amount as set forth below (a “Parachute Cap”) as follows: The aggregate present value of the Payment under Section 2(a) and (b) of this Agreement (“Agreement Payments”) shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be applied to Agreement Payments that do not constitute deferred compensation and are exempt or otherwise excepted from coverage under Section 409A (but excluding stock options or other stock rights). The “Reduced Amount” shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Agreement Payments without causing any Payment to be subject to the limitation of deduction under Section 280G of the Code. For purposes of this Section 21, “present value” shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.

(b)    All determinations to be made under this Section 21 shall be made by the nationally recognized independent public accounting firm used by the Companies at the time such determination must be made (the “Accounting Firm”). Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Companies and the Employee.

(c)    All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in performing the determinations referred to in this Section 21 shall be borne solely by the Companies.

(a)That Employee has not received and will not receive any tax advice from the Companies or any officer, director, employee, consultant or other representative of the Companies, or any successors to any of the foregoing, regarding the tax consequences, under federal, state, local or other tax law, of the actions and transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to Section 409A.  Employee understands and agrees that Employee has been advised to consult with Employee’s own tax advisors with respect to such tax consequences and liabilities;

(b)That the Employee has read the terms of this Agreement, and that the Employee understands its terms and effects, including the fact that the Employee has agreed to RELEASE AND

FOREVER DISCHARGE the Releasees from any legal action arising out of the Employee’s employment relationship with the Companies and the termination of that employment relationship; and

(c)That the Employee does not waive rights or claims that may arise after the date this Agreement is executed.

(d)That the Employee is not a medicare beneficiary as of the time Employee enters into this Agreement. To the extent that Employee is a medicare beneficiary, Employee agrees to contact a Human Resources representative for further instruction.

Intending to be legally bound hereby, the Employee, the Companies and CEI have entered into this Separation of Employment and General Release Agreement effective as of the date set forth above.
