In addition, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the cost of acquiring health benefits for the Executive and his spouse and other eligible dependents at the same level of coverage and benefits as is provided to U.S.-based senior executives of the Company for the two-year period following the date of the Executives termination; provided, that the Companys obligation to reimburse any such health benefits costs shall cease with respect to such health benefits at the time the Executive and his spouse and other eligible dependents become eligible for such health benefits from another employer. The Executive shall, within 30 days after each periodic payment for a reimbursable health benefit expense under this Section 8(d)(iii), submit appropriate evidence of such payment to the Company for reimbursement, and the Company shall pay such reimbursement on the 30th day following receipt of the submission. During the period such health benefit coverage remains in effect hereunder, the following provisions shall govern the arrangement: (a) the amount of the health care costs eligible for reimbursement in any one calendar year of such coverage shall not affect the amount of such costs eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year for which such reimbursement is to be provided hereunder; (ii) no costs shall be reimbursed after the close of the calendar year following the calendar year in which those costs were incurred; and (iii) the Executives right to the reimbursement of such costs cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit. In the event the reimbursement of health benefit costs results in the recognition of taxable income (whether for federal, state or local income tax purposes) by the Executive, then the Company shall make an additional payment (the Health Benefit
Gross-Up Payment) in a dollar amount to fully cover all taxes payable by the Executive on the income recognized with respect to the reimbursed health benefit costs, including taxes imposed upon the Health Benefit Gross-Up Payment. The Health Benefit Gross-Up Payment shall be paid to the Executive at the time the related taxes are remitted to the tax authorities. All other benefits, if any, due the Executive following a termination pursuant to Section 8(d) shall be determined in accordance with the plans, policies and practices of the Company; provided, however, that the Executive shall not participate in any severance plan, policy or program of the Company, The Executive shall not accrue any additional compensation (including any Base Salary or Annual Bonus) or other benefits under this Agreement following such termination of employment.

4. There is hereby added to Section 10(d) of the Agreement a new subsection (iv) to read as follows:
(iv). To the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether any provision of this Agreement would otherwise contravene one or more requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A, such provision shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
