3

term of this Agreement and prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control or more than 12 months following a Change in Control, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment with the Company for a reason other than Cause or Permanent Disability (as such terms are defined below), then the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum severance payment equal to (i) one and one-half times his Base Salary in effect at the time of the termination of Employment and (ii) his average bonus received in the immediately preceding two years. If, during the term of this Agreement and prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control or more than 12 months following a Change in Control, Executive resigns his Employment for Good Reason (as such term is defined below), then the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum severance payment equal to (i) one times his Base Salary in effect at the time of the termination of Employment and (ii) his average bonus received in the immediately preceding two years.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Executive is terminated under this subsection (b) within the initial two years of this Agreement, then in lieu of using the average bonus received in the immediately preceding two years for the above calculation, such calculation shall include his Target Bonus Amount if such termination under this Subsection (b) occurs in the first year of the Agreement and the actual bonus the Executive received during the initial year of the Agreement if such termination under this Subsection (b) occurs in the second year of the Agreement.  However, the amount of the severance payment under this Subsection (b) shall be reduced by the amount of any severance pay or pay in lieu of notice that the Executive receives from the Company under a federal or state statute (including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act).  The severance payments under this Subsection (b) shall in no event commence prior to the earliest date permitted by Section 409A(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  If the commencement of such severance payments must be delayed, as determined by the Company, then the deferred installments shall be paid in a lump sum on the earliest practicable date permitted by Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code.

(c)                                  Severance Pay in Connection with a Change in Control.  If, during the term of this Agreement and within 12 months following a Change in Control, the Company terminates the Executive’s employment with the Company for a reason other than Cause or Permanent Disability or the Executive resigns his Employment for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay the Executive a lump sum severance payment equal to two times his Base Salary in effect at the time of the termination of Employment plus two times the Executive’s average bonus received in the immediately preceding two years.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Executive is terminated under this subsection (c) within the initial two years of this Agreement, then in lieu of using the average bonus received in the immediately preceding two years for the above calculation, such calculation shall include his Target Bonus Amount if such termination under this Subsection (c) occurs in the first year of the Agreement and the actual bonus the Executive received during the initial year of the Agreement if such termination under this Subsection (c) occurs in the second year of the Agreement.  However, the amount of the severance payment under this Subsection (c) shall be reduced by the amount of any severance pay or pay in lieu of notice that the Executive receives from the Company under a federal or state statute (including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act).  The severance payments under this Subsection (c) shall in no event commence prior to the earliest date permitted by Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code.  If the commencement of such severance payments must be delayed, as determined by the Company, then the deferred installments shall be paid in a lump sum on the earliest practicable date permitted by Section 409A(a)(2) of the Code.

(d)                                 Parachute Taxes.  If amounts paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Total Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations thereunder or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax and any such interest or penalties are collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Total Payments shall be reduced to ensure that the Total Payments are not subject to Excise Tax.  In determining whether to cap the Total Payments, compensation or other amounts that the Executive is entitled to receive other than pursuant to this Agreement shall be disregarded.  All determinations and calculations required to be made under this provision will be made by an independent accounting firm selected by Executive from among the largest eight accounting firms in the United States (the “Accounting Firm”).  If the Accounting Firm determines that the Total Payments are to be reduced under the preceding sentences, then the Company will promptly give Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof.  Executive may then elect, in his sole discretion, which and how much of the Total Payments are to be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election no Excise Tax will be payable), and Executive will advise the Company in writing of his election within 10 business days of receipt of notice.  If Executive makes no such election within such 10-day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the Total Payments are to be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election no Excise Tax will be payable), and it will notify Executive promptly of such election.  The fees of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Company.
