11. Limitations Under Code Section 409A
11.1 Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if (A) on the date of termination of Executives employment with the Company or a subsidiary, any of the Companys stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the Code)), (B) Executive is determined to be a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B), (C) the payments exceed the amounts permitted to be paid pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) and (D) such delay is required to avoid the imposition of the tax set forth in Section 409A(a)(1), as a result of such termination, the Executive would receive any payment that, absent the application of this Section 5(g), would be subject to interest and additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) as a result of the application of Section 409A(2)(B)(i), then no such payment shall be payable prior to the date that is the earliest of (1) six (6) months and one day after the Executives termination date, (2) the Executives death or (3) such other date (the Delay Period) as will cause such payment not to be subject to such interest and additional tax (with a catch-up payment equal to the sum of all amounts that have been delayed to be made as of the date of the initial payment).
11.2 In addition, other provisions of this Agreement or any other such plan notwithstanding, the Company shall have no right to accelerate any such payment or to make any such payment as the result of any specific event except to the extent permitted under Section 409A.
11.3 A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a termination, termination of employment or like terms shall mean separation from service.
