Delay in Payment to a Specified Employee. If the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of the Executive’s separation from service, the provisions of this section shall apply but only if, and to the extent, required to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Section 409A.
