For purposes of this Section 6 of the Employment Agreement, the Executive shall be deemed to have experienced a Separation From Service due to Disability where, in the sole discretion of the Company:

(a)    The Executive is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months; or

    Additionally, and notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Separation From Service for any reason other than Disability, payment shall be made six months after the date of Separation From Service, but in no event shall payment be made, or commence to be made, after the later of (i) the last day of the calendar year in which such six-month date occurs or (ii) 2 ½ months after the occurrence of the six-month date and the initial payment shall be equal to six times the monthly amount otherwise due and the next and each subsequent monthly payment shall be equal to one times the monthly amount otherwise due. Payments made pursuant to this Section 6 resulting from Separation From Service due to Disability shall commence as soon as administratively feasible following such Separation From Service, but in no event shall distribution be made, or commence to be made, after the later of (i) the next following December 31 or (ii) 2 ½ months after the date of such Separation From Service due to Disability.

    The provisions of this Section 6 are intended to comply with the requirements applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation plans under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Employment Agreement, this Section 6 shall be interpreted and administered in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

7. Post-Retirement Medical Coverage. Commencing on the Executive’s separation from service (for any reason) and continuing for the longer to live of the Executive and his spouse, the Executive and his spouse shall be deemed participants in the Company’s medical benefit plan offered to all employees of the Company (the “Medical Plan”) and be deemed to be eligible to receive the benefits under the Medical Plan subject to the terms and conditions applicable to participants in the Medical Plan from time to time. The Executive (or, if applicable after the Executive’s death, his spouse) shall be charged for such deemed participation at a rate equal to the monthly rate the Medical Plan charges former participants and spouses eligible for continuation coverage under COBRA, plus the rate payable by the employer, as each such

COBRA rate is adjusted from time to time. The Company may impute the amounts due from the Executive and his spouse in lieu of creating an administrative system for monthly payment and collection of the COBRA rate.

8. Binding Agreement. The Company will use its best efforts to require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company) to expressly assume and agree to perform this Employment Agreement and the CIC Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform them if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be deemed to be a termination without Cause for purposes of this Employment Agreement and the CIC Agreement. For purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be the Date of Termination.

9.    Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed to have been effectively made or given if personally delivered at the address first above written or such other address as may be given by one party to the other.

10.     Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold, or cause to be withheld, from payment any amount payable under this Employment Agreement of any payroll and withholding taxes required by law, as determined by the Company in good faith.

11.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted, and governed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to rules relating to conflict of law.

12.    Headings. The headings of sections are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

13.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by either of the parties hereto in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Seventh Amended and Restated Employment Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
