NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Employment and Duties.

(a) General. The Company hereby continues to employ the Executive, effective as of August 31, 2007 (the “Effective Date”). The Executive’s period of continuous employment for statutory purposes began on March 14, 1995. The Executive agrees upon the terms and conditions herein set forth to continue to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall perform all duties customarily appurtenant to such position. In such capacity, the Executive shall report directly and only to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). The Executive’s principal place of business shall be 601 N. 34^th Street, Seattle, Washington 98103 or such other address as the Company may specify from time to time.

(b) Services and Duties. For so long as the Executive is employed by the Company hereunder, and except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1(c) below, the Executive shall devote his full business time to the performance of his duties hereunder; shall faithfully serve the Company; shall in all material respects conform to and comply with the lawful and good faith directions and instructions given to him by the Board as the same are consistent

with his status and the term hereof; and shall use his best efforts to promote and serve the interests of the Company. Specifically, the Executive shall be solely responsible for the day-to-day operational management of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates (hereinafter, collectively the “Group”), provision of operational direction to the Executive Committee (“EC”) of the Company, and oversight of corporate, operations, sales, marketing, finance, and management of the EC. All employees of the Group (other than the Chairman) shall report, either directly or indirectly, to the Executive.

(c) No Other Employment. Except as provided below, for so long as the Executive is employed by the Company, he shall not, directly or indirectly, render services to any other person or organization for which he receives compensation without the prior approval of the Board. No such approval will be required if the Executive seeks to perform inconsequential services without direct compensation for those services and in connection with the management of personal investments or in connection with the performance of charitable and civic activities, provided that such activities do not contravene the provisions of Section 6 hereof.

(d) Board Membership. The Executive is a member of the Board and it is the intention of the Executive and the Company that this continues to be the case. Accordingly, during the Term (as defined in Section 2 below) and for such additional period so that the Executive may continue as a director of the Company until the earlier of the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for Cause or the fourth anniversary of the expiration of the Term, the Company shall nominate the Executive, if he was not terminated for Cause, for reelection to the Board and shall use best efforts to cause the Executive to be elected to such term. The Executive shall resign from the Board immediately if he is terminated for Cause.

(e) Payment for Services to be Performed; Obligations. Compensation to be paid under this Agreement shall be made with regard to all the Executive’s services to be provided to the Group globally.

2. Term of Employment. The term of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the second anniversary date of the Effective Date. Thereafter, the Term shall be renewed for successive one-year periods until this Agreement is terminated by either party giving the other at least twelve months’ written notice of termination, with no such notice to be given so as to expire before the third anniversary of the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Term includes the twelve-month notice period.

3. Compensation and Other Benefits. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall pay and provide the following compensation and other benefits to the Executive during the Term as compensation for all services rendered hereunder:

2

(a) Salary. The Company shall pay to the Executive an annual salary (the “Salary”) at the initial rate of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), payable to the Executive in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company for its executive officers as are in effect from time to time. The amount of the Executive’s Salary shall be reviewed annually by the Board on or about April 1 of each year during the Term beginning in the 2008 calendar year and may be increased, but not decreased below such amount, on the basis of such review and then-current market practices.

(b) Annual Bonus. The Executive shall be eligible for each calendar year thereafter that begins with the Term to participate in an annual incentive bonus program established by the Company in accordance with the policies of the Group and subject to such terms, conditions and performance targets as may be approved annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). Under the terms of the annual incentive bonus program, the Executive will be afforded the opportunity to earn up to seventy percent (70%) of his Salary (the “Bonus”) in effect for the applicable calendar year. The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, pay a bonus in excess of the seventy percent (70%) referred to above.

(A) Termination for Cause. In the event that the Executive ceases to be an employee of the Company because he is terminated for Cause (as such term is defined below), the Executive shall be entitled to retain the then-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Executive shall also be entitled to retain and exercise the then-vested portion of all options for a period of ninety (90) days following any such termination of employment as if he had remained an employee of the Company, but the unvested portion of all options and restricted stock units shall lapse.

(B) Resignation without Good Reason. In the event that the Executive ceases to be an employee of the Company because he resigns without Good Reason (as such term is defined below), then the vesting of all unvested stock Awards shall continue for so long as the Executive remains a director of the Company.

At such time following the Executive’s resignation without Good Reason as the Executive no longer serves as a director of the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to retain the then-vested RSUs. The Executive shall also be entitled to retain and exercise the then-vested portion of all options until the earlier of (i) four years following his separation from employment with Getty Images (including his service on the Board), and (ii) for the remainder of their respective terms as if he had remained an employee of the Company, but the unvested portion of all options (and RSUs) shall lapse.

The Executive was granted 110,000 restricted stock units effective as of August 9, 2007 which shall vest over a period of four years from the August 9, 2007, subject to the Executive meeting certain performance targets established by the Compensation Committee. The restricted stock units shall vest as follows:

(B) The remaining 75% (82,500 units) shall vest in equal installments of 27,500 units on each of August 9, 2009, August 9, 2010 and August 9, 2011, in each case if, and only if, the Company’s revenues or other financial targets for the period beginning January 1 of the year prior to the vesting date (the “Annual Start Date”) through December 31 of the year prior to the vesting date exceed a target(s) established by the Compensation Committee of the Board, such target(s)s to be established no later than 90 days following the applicable Annual Start Date in a manner intended to comply with the performance-based compensation exception under Treas. Reg. §1.162-27(e). By way of example, the performance measurement period for the August 9, 2009 vesting shall be January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.

On each vesting date, the Company shall cause to be issued a certificate or certificates for the restricted stock units granted pursuant to this award, registered in the name of the Executive. If the Executive’s performance targets are not met on any of the vesting dates, such amounts that would have vested on such dates had the performance target been met shall be forfeited by the Executive. Upon the occurrence of such forfeiture, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the restricted stock units being forfeited and all rights and interests therein or related thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of restricted stock units being forfeited by the Executive.

(ii) Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold any tax (or other governmental obligation) as a result of the grant of restricted stock units, and the Executive shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all such withholding requirements.

(e) Share Match Program.

(i) Share Match Program. Pursuant to this Agreement the Executive is eligible to receive a grant of 1.75 restricted stock units for each share of the Company’s common stock the Executive buys and holds thereafter including, without limitation, through open market purchases or the exercising of stock options (the “Share Match Program”).

(ii) Limitations/Forfeiture. From August 9, 2007 to January 2, 2008, the Company shall (and has) match(ed) up to 50,000 shares obtained by the Executive for a total of 87,500 restricted stock units. From January 3, 2008 to January 2, 2009, the Company shall match up to 50,000 shares obtained by the Executive for a total of 87,500 restricted stock units. As of the Effective Date, the qualifying 50,000 shares for the second match period (January 3, 2008 – January 2, 2009) have been acquired by the Executive and as such the Executive has established eligibility for the 87,500 restricted stock units to be issued on January 3, 2008. Restricted stock units obtained pursuant to the Share Match Program shall be forfeited if the underlying shares purchased by the Executive are sold by the Executive prior to the vesting of the corresponding restricted stock units, pursuant to subsection (iii) below.

(iii) Vesting. The restricted stock units obtained by the Executive pursuant to the Share Match Program shall vest at a rate of 25% per year for a period of four years, in each case on the anniversary of the date such restricted stock units were initially granted and subject to the Executive meeting certain performance targets. The restricted stock units granted pursuant to the Share Match Program shall vest as follows:

(A) For shares acquired under the Share Match Program before September 29, 2007, 25% of such restricted stock units shall vest on the first anniversary of the grant date if, and only if, the Company’s revenues from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008 are no less than $806,400,000. This grant of the restricted stock units pursuant to the Share Match Program is intended to comply with the performance-based compensation exception under Treas. Reg. §1.162-27(e); and

(B) The remaining 75% of the restricted stock units granted pursuant to the Share Match Program shall vest in equal installments on each of the second, third and fourth anniversary of the date of grant, in each case if, and only if, the Company’s revenue or other financial targets during a certain period exceed a certain amount, in each case as established by the Compensation Committee of the Board within 90 days following the first day of such period in a manner intended to comply with the performance-based compensation exception under Treas. Reg. §1.162-27(e).

On each vesting date, the Company shall cause to be issued a certificate or certificates for the restricted stock units granted pursuant to this award, registered in the name of the Executive. If the Executive’s performance targets are not met on any of the vesting dates, such amounts that would have vested on such dates had the performance target been met shall be forfeited by the Executive. Upon the occurrence of such forfeiture, the Company shall become (or remain) the legal and beneficial owner of the restricted stock units being forfeited and all rights and interests therein or related thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and transfer to its own name the number of restricted stock units being forfeited by the Executive.

(ii) Withholding Taxes. The Company may withhold any tax (or other governmental obligation) as a result of the grant of restricted stock units pursuant to the Share Match Program, and the Executive shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all such withholding requirements.

(g) Expenses. The Company acknowledges that the successful operation of its business may require the Executive to incur reasonable business expenses while rendering services to the Company for such things as business travel, lodging, meals and other business expenses. The Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for such expenses after presentation of appropriate receipts and statements, according to the procedures established by the Company. The Company expressly agrees that it will reimburse the Executive for his business class airfare on international flights which are over five (5) hours in duration taken in connection with Company business. In the absence of fraud, it is acknowledged that breach of this clause will not be deemed a material breach of a material term of this Agreement.

6

(h) Long-Term Incentive Program. During the Term, the Executive shall participate in all long-term incentive plans and programs of the Group that are applicable to its senior officers in accordance with their terms and in a manner consistent with his position with the Company.

(j) Medical and Other Related Benefits. The Company shall provide the Executive with group disability and health insurance benefits, as well as holiday, and sick leave benefits, consistent with those granted to CEOs of companies of the size and nature of the Company. Executive will be eligible to participate in any deferred compensation plan adopted by the Company for its senior executives, provided that Executive’s benefits under any such plan will be consistent with those granted to CEOs of companies of the size and nature of the Company.

(iii) Termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause shall be communicated by delivery to the Executive of a written notice from the Company stating that the Executive has been terminated for Cause, specifying the particulars thereof and the effective date of such termination.

The Executive shall have 90 business days from the date of the event giving rise to Good Reason to notify the Company of his intent to terminate employment for Good Reason, and if the Executive does not so notify the Company, such event shall not be deemed Good Reason. The Company shall have 30 business days from the date of receipt of such notice to affect a cure of the material breach described therein and, upon cure thereof by the Company to the reasonable satisfaction of the Executive, such material breach shall no longer constitute Good Reason for purposes of this Agreement. If Executive resigns more than two years after the Effective Date, the resignation shall be treated as being for “Good Reason” unless the Company establishes that it was for a reason other than one of those set forth in subsections (A) through (F) of this Section 4(b)(ii).

(iii) The date of termination of employment without Cause shall be the date specified in a written notice of termination to the Executive.

The treatment of the Executive’s Awards shall be governed by Section 3 of this Agreement.

(d) Termination Due to Disability. In the event of the Executive’s Disability (as hereinafter defined), the Company shall be entitled to terminate his employment on providing the Executive with six months’ prior written notice. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment due to Disability, the Executive shall be entitled to receive, for the remainder of the Term, his Salary, at the rate in effect immediately prior to the Disability, his maximum Bonus as described in the second sentence of Section 3(b), for Sections 3(f) and (j), the Company will pay within thirty (30) days after the date of termination a lump sum amount equal to the costs incurred by the Company for such benefits in the last six months of the calendar year immediately prior to the date of termination, less any amounts anticipated

The treatment of the Executive’s Awards shall be governed by Section 3 of this Agreement.

(f) Beneficiary. For purposes of this agreement, “Beneficiary” shall mean the person or persons designated in writing by the Executive to receive benefits under a plan, program or arrangement or to receive the balance of the Severance Payments, if any, in the event of the Executive’s death, or, if no such person or persons are designated by the Executive, the Executive’s estate. No beneficiary designation shall be effective unless it is in writing and received by the Company prior to the date of the Executive’s death.

5. Limitation on Payments.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any of the payments or benefits hereunder or under any other plan, agreement or arrangement would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) with respect to Executive, then the aggregate of the amounts constituting the parachute payment shall be reduced to an amount that will equal three times the base amount, less One Dollar ($1.00). The determinations to be made with respect to this Section 5 shall be made by an independent accounting firm of national standing (other than the Company’s regular auditors). The accounting firm shall be paid by the Company for its services performed hereunder.

6. Protection of the Company’s Interests.

(a) No Competing Employment. For so long as the Executive is employed by the Company and, in circumstances where the Executive receives a payment pursuant to Section

10

4(b), 4(c) or 4(d) or his employment is terminated for Cause, but in no other circumstances, and continuing for the remainder of the Term (such period being referred to hereinafter as the “Restricted Period”), the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly, own an interest in, manage, operate, join, control, lend money or render financial or other assistance to or participate in or be connected with, as an officer, executive, partner, stockholder, consultant or otherwise, any individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other business organization or entity that competes with the Group by providing any goods or services provided or under development by the Group at the effective date of the Executive’s termination of employment under this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 6(a) shall not prescribe the Executive’s ownership, either directly or indirectly, of either less than five percent of any class of securities which are listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the automated quotation system of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any limited partnership investment over which the Executive has no control.

(b) No Interference. During the Restricted Period, in circumstances where the Executive receives a payment pursuant to Section 4(b), 4(c) or 4(d) or his employment is terminated for Cause, and in no other circumstances, the Executive shall not, whether for his own account or for the account of any other individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other business organization (other than the Company), intentionally solicit, endeavor to entice away from the Group or otherwise interfere with the relationship of the Group with, any key person or team who is employed by or otherwise engaged to perform services for the Group or any key person or team or entity who is, or was within the then most recent twelve-month period, a customer, client or supplier of the Group.

(c) Secrecy. The Executive recognizes that the services to be performed by him hereunder are special, unique and extraordinary in that, by reason of his employment hereunder, he may acquire confidential information and trade secrets concerning the operation of the Group, the use or disclosure of which could cause the Group substantial losses and damages which could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at law would be adequate. Accordingly, the Executive covenants and agrees with the Company that he will not at any time, except in performance of the Executive’s obligations to the Company hereunder or with the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly disclose to any person any secret or confidential information that he may learn or has learned by reason of his association with the Group. The term “confidential information” means any information not previously disclosed to the public or to the trade by the Group with respect to the Group’s, or any of its affiliates’ or subsidiaries’, products, facilities and methods, trade secrets and other intellectual property, systems, procedures, manuals, confidential reports, product price lists, customer lists, financial information (including the revenues, costs or profits associated with any of the Group’s products), business plans, prospects or opportunities.

(d) Exclusive Property. The Executive confirms that all confidential information is and shall remain the exclusive property of the Group. All business records, papers and documents kept or made by the Executive relating to the business of the Group shall be and remain the property of the Group. Upon the termination of his employment with the

11

Company or upon the request of the Company at any time, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company, and shall not without the consent of the Board retain copies of, any written materials not previously made available to the public, or records and documents made by the Executive or coming into his possession concerning the business or affairs of the Group; provided, however, that subsequent to any such termination, the Company shall provide the Executive with copies (the cost of which shall be borne by the Executive) of any documents which are requested by the Executive and which the Executive has determined in good faith are (i) required to establish a defense to a claim that the Executive has not complied with his duties hereunder or (ii) necessary to the Executive in order to comply with applicable law.

(e) Assignment of Developments. All “Developments” (as defined below) that were or are at any time made, conceived or suggested by Executive, whether acting alone or in conjunction with others, during Executive’s employment with the Group shall be the sole and absolute property of the Group, free of any reserved or other rights of any kind on the part of Executive. During Executive’s employment and, if such Developments were made, conceived or suggested by Executive during his employment with the Group, thereafter, Executive shall promptly make full disclosure of any such Developments to the Group and, at the Group’s cost and expense, do all acts and things (including, among others, the execution and delivery under oath of patent and copyright applications and instruments of assignment) deemed by the Group to be necessary or desirable at any time in order to effect the full assignment to the Group of Executive’s right and title, if any, to such Developments. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Developments” shall mean all data, discoveries, findings, reports, designs, inventions, improvements, methods, practices, techniques, developments, programs, concepts, and ideas, whether or not patentable, relating to the activities of the Group of which Executive is as of the date of this Agreement aware or of which Executive becomes aware at any time during the Term, excluding any Development for which no equipment, supplies, facilities or confidential information of the Group was used and which was developed entirely on Executive’s own time, unless (i) the Development relates directly to the business of the Group, (ii) the Development relates to actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Group, or (iii) the Development results from any work performed by Executive for the Group (the foregoing is agreed to satisfy the written notice and other requirements of Section 49.44.140 of the Revised Code of Washington).

(f) Injunctive Relief. Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Company, the Executive acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6 may result in material irreparable injury to the Group for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, the Company shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the Executive from engaging in activities prohibited by this Section 6 or such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in this Section 6. Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Executive, the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

12

(g) Compliance. The Executive shall during the continuance of his employment comply (and shall procure that his spouse or partner and his minor children shall comply) with all applicable rules of law, stock exchange regulations and codes of conduct applicable to employees, officers and directors of the Company and the Group for the time being in force in relation to dealings in the shares, debentures and other securities of the Company or any unpublished share price sensitive information affecting the securities of any other company with which the Company has dealings (provided that the Executive shall be entitled to exercise any options granted to him under any share option scheme established by the Company or any member of the Group, subject to the rules of such scheme).

(h) Foreign Compliance. The Executive shall in relation to any dealings in securities of overseas companies comply with all laws of any foreign state affecting dealings in the securities of such companies and all regulations of any relevant stock exchanges on which such dealings take place.

(i) Company Policy. During the continuance of his employment the Executive shall observe the terms of any policy issued by the Company in relation to payments, rebates, discounts, gifts, entertainment or other benefits from any third party in respect of any business transacted or proposed to be transacted (whether or not by him) by or on behalf of the Company or any member of the Group.

7. General Provisions.

(a) Source of Payments. All payments provided under this Agreement, other than payments made pursuant to a plan which provides otherwise, shall be paid in cash from the general funds of the Company, and no special or separate fund shall be established, and no other segregation of assets made, to assure payment. The Executive shall have no right, title or interest whatever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid the Company in meeting its obligations hereunder. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company hereunder, such rights shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured creditor of the Company; provided, however, that this provision shall not be deemed to waive or abrogate any preferential or other rights to payment accruing to the Executive under applicable bankruptcy laws by virtue of the Executive’s status as an executive of the Company.

(b) No Other Severance Benefits. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Executive covenants and agrees that he shall not be entitled to any other form of severance benefits from the Company, including, without limitation, benefits otherwise payable under any of the Company’s regular severance policies, in the event his employment hereunder ends for any reason, and, except with respect to obligations of the Company expressly provided for herein, the Executive unconditionally releases the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, executives and stockholders, or any of them, from any and all claims, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement or under any severance or termination arrangements of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates for compensation or benefits in connection with his employment or the termination thereof.

13

(c) Tax Withholding and Gross-Up. Payments to the Executive of all compensation contemplated under this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable tax withholding. If it is determined that any payment made or benefit provided to Executive pursuant to Section 3(f), 3(g) and 3(j) is subject to any income tax payable under any United States federal, state, local or other law, the Executive shall receive a tax gross-up payment with respect to such taxes. The tax gross-up payment will be an amount such that, after payment of taxes on such payment, there remains a balance sufficient to pay the taxes being reimbursed. Any such tax gross-up payments will be made at the time Executive’s US federal income tax return for the applicable calendar year is filed.

(d) Notices. Any notice hereunder by either party to the other shall be given in writing by personal delivery, or certified mail, return receipt requested, or (if to the Company) by facsimile, in any case delivered to the applicable address set forth below:

or to such other persons or other addresses as either party may specify to the other in writing.

(e) Representation by the Executive. The Executive represents and warrants that his entering into this Agreement does not, and that his performance under this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, violate the provisions of any agreement or instrument to which the Executive is a party, or any decree, judgment or order to which the Executive is subject, and that this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Executive in accordance with its terms. Breach of this representation will render all of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement void ab initio.

(f) Limited Waiver. The waiver by the Company or the Executive of a violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent violation of any such provision.

(g) Assignment; Assumption of Agreement. No right, benefit or interest hereunder shall be subject to assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, hypothecation or setoff by the Executive in respect of any claim, debt, obligation or similar process. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company to assume expressly and to agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

14

(h) Amendment; Actions by the Company. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or canceled except by written agreement of the Executive and the Company. Any and all determinations, judgments, reviews, verifications, adjustments, approvals, consents, waivers or other actions of the Company required or permitted under this Agreement shall be effective only if undertaken by the Company pursuant to authority granted by a resolution duly adopted by the Board; provided, however, that by resolution duly adopted in accordance with this Section 7(h), the Board may delegate its responsibilities hereunder to one or more of its members other than the Executive.

(i) Severability. If any term or provision hereof is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in a final court or arbitration proceeding, (i) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired and (ii) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

(j) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington (determined without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof).

(k) Section 409A of the Code. Unless otherwise expressly provided, any payment of compensation by the Company to Executive, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, shall be made within two and one-half months (2 ¹/2 months) after the later of the end of the calendar year of the Company’s fiscal year in which Executive’s right to such payment vests (i.e., is not subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” for purposes of Code Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretative guidance thereunder, including that issued after the date hereof (collectively, “Section 409A”). It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that no payment or entitlement pursuant to this Agreement will give rise to any adverse tax consequences to the Executive under Section 409A. The Agreement shall be interpreted to that end and, consistent with that objective and notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company may unilaterally take any action it deems necessary or desirable to amend any provision herein to avoid the application of an excise tax under Section 409A. Further, no effect shall be given to any provision herein in a manner that reasonably could be expected to give rise to adverse tax consequences under that provision. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in, and pursuant to, Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(i)) on the date of termination, no payment of compensation under this Agreement shall be made to the Executive during the period lasting six (6) months from the date of termination unless the Company determines that there is no reasonable basis for believing that making such payment for believing that making such payment would cause the Executive to suffer any adverse tax consequences pursuant to Section 409A. If any payment to the Executive is delayed pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such payment instead shall be made on the first business day following the expiration of the six-month period referred to in the prior sentence.

15
