EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT Deborah Derby

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of March 6, 2013 (the “Execution Date”) by and between TOYS “R” US, INC. (the “Company”) and Deborah Derby (“Executive”).

In consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

1.Term of Employment. Subject to the provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement, Executive shall be employed by the Company and designated indirect subsidiaries of the Company (each, a “Subsidiary”), for a period commencing on March 6, 2013 (the “Commencement Date”) and ending on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Initial Term”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Following the Initial Term, the term of Executive’s employment hereunder shall automatically be renewed on the terms and conditions hereunder for additional one-year periods commencing on each anniversary of the last day of the Initial Term (the Initial Term and any annual extensions of the term of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, together, the “Employment Term”); provided, however, that if the Company provides Executive with written notice of non-renewal of the Employment Term at least 180 days prior to the third anniversary of the Commencement Date, then the Employment Term, and Executive’s employment hereunder, shall terminate on such third anniversary, and such non-renewal shall constitute an event giving rise only to the payments and benefits provided under Section 8.a. of this Agreement.

2.    Position.

a.    During the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as the Vice Chairman and Executive Vice President of each of the Company, Toys “R” Us – Delaware, Inc. and any other indirect Subsidiaries that the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) designates (such entities collectively referred to as the “TRU Group”). In such positions, Executive shall have such duties and authority as determined by the Board and the board of directors of each Subsidiary, as applicable (each, a “Subsidiary Board”) and commensurate with the position of the Executive Vice President of a company of similar size and nature to that of the TRU Group. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”).

b.    During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive’s full business time and reasonable best efforts to the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder and will not engage in any other business, profession or occupation for compensation or otherwise which would conflict or interfere in any material respect with the rendition of such services either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the CEO and/or board; provided that nothing herein shall preclude Executive from continuing to serve on any board of directors or trustees, advisory board or government commission which is listed on Exhibit A attached hereto, or, subject to the prior approval of the CEO, from accepting appointment to

serve on any board of directors or trustees of any business corporation or any charitable organization; provided in each case in the aggregate, that such activities do not conflict or interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or conflict with Section 9 below.

3.    Base Salary. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary at the annual rate of $700,000, payable in substantially equal periodic payments in accordance with the Company’s practices for other executive employees, as such practices may be determined from time to time. Executive shall be entitled to such increases in Executive’s base salary, if any, as may be determined from time to time in the sole discretion of the Board, which shall at least annually review Executive’s rate of base salary to determine if any such increase shall be made. Executive’s annual base salary, as in effect from time to time hereunder, is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Salary.”

4.    Signing Bonus. Upon Executive’s commencement of employment with the Company on the Commencement Date, the Company shall pay Executive a one-time signing bonus of $115,000.

5.    Annual Bonus. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus award in respect of each fiscal year of the Company (an “Annual Bonus”), in a target amount of up to 110% of Executive’s Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”), payable upon the Company’s achievement of certain performance targets established by the Board or any appropriate committee or delegatee thereof and pursuant to the terms of the Company’s incentive plan, as in effect from time to time. Performance targets and incentive plans shall be similar to those in place for other senior executives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company’s performance exceeds such performance targets, Executive shall be eligible to earn an Annual Bonus in an amount in excess of the Target Bonus, as determined by the Board or any appropriate committee or delegatee thereof in accordance with the Company’s incentive plan, as in effect from time to time. The Annual Bonus, if any, shall be paid to Executive not later than two and one-half (2½) months after the end of the applicable fiscal year of the Company.

6.    Employee Benefits; Perquisites; Business and Relocation Expenses.

a.    Employee Benefits. During the Employment Term, Executive and her spouse and dependents, as applicable, shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s welfare benefit plans and retirement plans, including, without limitation, the Company’s 401(k) and supplemental executive retirement plans and medical, dental and life insurance plans, as in effect from time to time (collectively, the “Employee Benefits”), on the same basis as those benefits are or may be made available to the other senior executives of the Company (other than benefits which have been terminated or for which participation has been frozen). The Company shall be permitted to modify such benefits from time to time consistent with any modifications that impact other senior executives of the Company.

b.    Perquisites. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be entitled to receive such perquisites as are made available to other senior executives of the Company in accordance with the Company’s policies, as in effect from time to time. Executive

shall be entitled to not less than four (4) weeks of paid vacation per year, which vacation shall be taken at such times as are reasonably acceptable to the Company in light of the Company’s operations, Executive’s performance of her duties, and in accordance with the terms of the Company’s vacation policy, as in effect from time to time, applicable to Executive.

c.    Business Expenses. During the Employment Term, reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder shall be reimbursed by the Company in accordance with the Company’s policies, as in effect from time to time, applicable to senior executive officers of the Company.

7.    Equity.

a.    During the Employment Term, Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Toys “R” Us, Inc. 2010 Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Incentive Plan and any subsequent plans. In the event the Company implements a broad-based management restructuring and transition program, Executive will be entitled to participate in any equity-based retention or repurchase program that the Company may implement in connection therewith for the benefit of other senior executives of the Company, on terms that are consistent therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, Executive will not be entitled to participate in any cash retention program that the Company may implement , but Executive will be eligible for the annual “May 2013 Grant.”

b.    At the first meeting of the designated committee of the Board occurring during the Employment Term:

(i)    Executive will be granted: (x) an option to purchase 26,667 shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), which option will have an exercise price equal to USD $60.00 per share (“2015 Options”), and (y) an option to purchase 21,014 shares of Common Stock, which option will have an exercise price equal to USD $44.00 per share (“2016 Options” and together with the 2015 Options, the “Options”), in each case so long as such per share exercise price is at least equal to the per share fair market value of Common Stock on the date of such grant, determined in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)). These Options will be granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan and the form of nonqualified stock option agreement used by the Company to make awards to members of senior management, except that, subject to Executive’s continued employment with the TRU Group through the applicable vesting date(s): (A) 50% of the 2015 Options will vest on each of the first and second anniversaries, respectively, of the date of grant of the 2015 Options and (B) 50% of the 2016 Options will vest on the first anniversary, and 25% of the 2016 Options will vest on each of the second and third anniversaries, respectively, of the date of grant of the 2016 Options.

8.    Termination. The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by either party at any time and for any reason; provided that Executive will be required to give the Company at least 60 days’ advance written notice of any resignation of Executive’s employment without Good Reason (as defined in Section 8.c. below) (other than due to Executive’s death or Disability). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 8 shall exclusively govern Executive’s rights upon termination of employment with the TRU Group; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8 shall alter Executive’s or the Company’s rights with respect to the Incentive Plan, which shall continue to govern Executive’s equity holdings following any termination in accordance herewith.

a.    By the Company For Cause or By Executive Without Good Reason.

(i)    The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) and shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s resignation without Good Reason (other than due to Executive’s death or Disability); provided, that Executive will be required to give the Company at least 60 days’ advance written notice of such resignation.

(ii)     For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of the following, as determined by the CEO: (A) Executive’s willful failure to perform any material portion of her duties; (B) the commission of any fraud, misappropriation or misconduct by Executive that causes demonstrable injury, monetarily or otherwise, to the Company or an Affiliate (as such term is defined in the Incentive Plan); (C) the conviction of, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony involving moral turpitude; (D) an act resulting or intended to result, directly or indirectly, in material gain or personal enrichment to the Executive at the expense of the Company or an Affiliate; (E) any material breach of Executive’s fiduciary duties to the Company or an Affiliate as an employee or officer; (F) a violation of the Company’s Code of Ethical Standards, Business Practices and Conduct; (G) the failure by the Executive to comply, in any material respect, with the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 of this Agreement; or (H) the failure by the Executive to comply with any other undertaking set forth in this Agreement or any other agreement Executive has with the Company or any Affiliate or any breach by Executive hereof or thereof if such failure or breach is reasonably likely to result in a material injury to the Company or an Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conduct in sections (A), (D), (E), (F), (G) and (H), shall not be deemed “‘Cause” if the basis for such Cause is cured within a reasonable period of time (determined in light of the cure appropriate to the basis of such Cause), but in no event more than thirty (30) business days after Executive receives the Notice of Termination specifying the basis of such Cause.

(iii) If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or if Executive resigns without Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive:

(D)    such Employee Benefits, if any, as to which Executive may be entitled under the employee benefit plans of the Company; and

(E)    continuation of medical, dental and life insurance benefits (pursuant to the same benefit plans as in effect for active employees of the Company), as follows:

reserves the right to discontinue such practice to the extent necessary, and to thereafter pay to Executive the taxable Company Subsidy each month for the remainder of the Benefit Continuation Period, less applicable withholding.

In no event shall the coverage provided pursuant to this Section 8.a.(iii)(E) extend beyond December 31 of the year in which Executive reaches age 65. The medical, dental and life insurance coverage under this Section 8.a.(iii)(E) provided in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of benefits to be provided in any other calendar year, and the reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made no later than December 31 of the year after the year in which the expense was incurred. Executive’s rights pursuant to this Section 8.a.(iii)(E) shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

(B)    a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus, if any, that Executive would have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 5 hereof for such year based upon the Company’s actual results for the year of termination and the percentage of the fiscal year that shall have elapsed through the date of Executive’s termination of employment, payable to Executive pursuant to Section 5 had Executive’s employment not terminated.

(iii)     If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (excluding by reason of Executive’s death or Disability), or by Executive for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive:

(A)    the Accrued Rights;

(B)    a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus, if any, that Executive would have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 5 hereof for such year based upon the Company’s actual results for the year of termination and the percentage of the fiscal year that shall have elapsed through the date of Executive’s termination of employment, payable to Executive pursuant to Section 5 had Executive’s employment not terminated; and

Any purported termination of employment by the Company or by Executive (other than due to Executive’s death or Disability) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 14.g. hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the provision so indicated. To the extent a right to cure is triggered, the Notice of Termination shall state the cure required and a date by which the cure must occur.

e.     Board/Committee Resignation. Upon termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive agrees to resign, as of the date of such termination and to the extent applicable, from the Board and any Subsidiary Boards (and any committees thereof).

9.    Non-Competition.

a.    Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates and accordingly agrees as follows:

(i)    During the Employment Term and a eighteen (18) month period commencing on Executive’s termination of employment (the “Restricted Period”), Executive will not, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any person, firm, partnership, joint venture, association, corporation or other business organization, entity or enterprise whatsoever (“Person”), directly or indirectly:

(A)    engage in any business that directly or indirectly is a “Competitive Business.” For purposes of this subsection (A) a “Competitive Business” means, with respect to the Executive at any time, any Person engaged wholly or in part (directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in the retail sale or distribution (including in stores or via mail order, e-commerce, or similar means) of “Competing Products,” if more than one-third (1/3) of such Person's gross sales for the twelve (12) month period preceding such time (or with respect to the period after Executive’s termination date, as of such termination date) are generated by engaging in such sale or distribution of Competing Products. Without limiting the foregoing, the term “Competitive Business” shall in any event include Wal-Mart, K-Mart/Sears, Target, Amazon.com, Buy Buy Baby, Mattel, Hasbro, Tesco, Carrefour and any of their respective parents, subsidiaries, Affiliates or commonly controlled entities. For purposes of this subsection (A) “Competing Products” means, with respect to the Executive at any time, (1) toys and games, (2) video games, computer software for children, and electronic toys or games, (3) juvenile or baby products, apparel, equipment, furniture, or consumables, (4) wheeled goods for children, and (5) any other product or group of related products that represents more than twenty (20) percent of the gross sales of the Company and its subsidiaries for the twelve (12) month period preceding such time (or with respect to the period after the Executive’s termination date, as of such termination date);

(B)    enter the employ of, or render any services to, any Person (or any division or controlled or controlling Affiliate of any Person) who or which engages in a Competitive Business;

(C)    acquire a financial interest in, or otherwise become actively involved with, any Competitive Business, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder, officer, director, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or

(D)    interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, business relationships (whether formed before, on or after the date of this Agreement) between the Company or any of its Affiliates and customers, clients, suppliers, partners, members or investors of the Company or its Affiliates.

(E)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Executive may, directly or indirectly own, solely as a passive investment, securities of any Person engaged in a Competitive Business which are publicly traded on a national or regional stock exchange or on the over-the-counter market or privately held if Executive (x) is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which

controls, such Person and (y) does not, directly or indirectly, own 3% or more of any class of securities of such Person who is publicly traded or privately held.

(ii)    During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, whether on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any Person, directly or indirectly:

(A)    solicit to leave the employment of, or encourage any employee of the Company or its Affiliates to leave the employment of, the Company or its Affiliates; or

(B)    hire any such employee (other than clerical or administrative support personnel) who was employed by the Company or its Affiliates as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company or who left the employment of the Company or its Affiliates coincident with, or within one year prior to, the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.

(iii) During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, solicit to leave the employment of, or encourage to cease to work with, as applicable, the Company or its Affiliates any consultant, supplier or service provider then under contract with the Company or its Affiliates.

b.    It is expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section 9 to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein.

10.    Confidentiality.

a.    Executive will not at any time (whether during or after Executive’s employment with the Company), except when required to perform her duties to the TRU Group, (x) retain or use for the benefit, purposes or account of Executive or any other Person; or (y) disclose, divulge, reveal, communicate, share, transfer or provide access to any Person outside the TRU Group (other than its professional advisers who are bound by confidentiality obligations), any non-public, proprietary or confidential information --including without limitation rates, trade secrets, know-how, research and development, software, databases, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs and other intellectual property, information concerning finances, investments, profits, pricing, costs, products, services, vendors, customers, clients, partners, investors, personnel, compensation, recruiting, training, advertising, sales, marketing, promotions, government and regulatory activities and approvals -- concerning the past, current or future business, activities and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries

and/or any third party that has disclosed or provided any of same to the Company and its subsidiaries on a confidential basis (“Confidential Information”) without the prior written authorization of the Board.

b.    “Confidential Information” shall not include any information that is (x) generally known to the industry or the public other than as a result of Executive’s breach of this covenant or any breach of other confidentiality obligations by third parties; (y) required by law or judicial process to be disclosed; provided that Executive shall give prompt written notice to the Company of such requirement, disclose no more information than is so required, and cooperate with any attempts by the Company to obtain a protective order or similar treatment; or (z) disclosed in connection with a litigation or arbitration proceeding between the parties.

c.    Except as required by law or judicial process, Executive will not disclose to anyone, other than Executive’s immediate family, legal and/or financial advisors, the existence or contents of this Agreement; provided that Executive may disclose to any prospective future employer the provisions of Sections 9 and 10 of this Agreement, provided they agree to maintain the confidentiality of such terms.

d.    Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the TRU Group for any reason, Executive shall (x) cease and not thereafter commence use of any Confidential Information or intellectual property (including without limitation, any patent, invention, copyright, trade secret, trademark, trade name, logo, domain name or other source indicator) owned by the Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates; (y) immediately destroy, delete, or return to the Company, at the Company’s option, all originals and copies in any form or medium (including memoranda, books, papers, plans, computer files, letters and other data) in Executive’s possession or control (including any of the foregoing stored or located in Executive’s office, home, laptop or other computer, whether or not the Company’s property) that contain Confidential Information or otherwise relate to the business of the Company, its Affiliates or subsidiaries (whether or not the retention or use thereof would reasonably be expected to result in a demonstrable injury to the Company, its Affiliates or subsidiaries), except that Executive may retain only those portions of any personal notes, notebooks and diaries that do not contain any Confidential Information; and (z) notify and fully cooperate with the Company regarding the delivery or destruction of any other Confidential Information of which Executive is or becomes aware.

e.    Executive shall not improperly use for the benefit of, bring to any premises of, divulge, disclose, communicate, reveal, transfer or provide access to, or share with the TRU Group any confidential, proprietary or non-public information or intellectual property relating to a former employer or other third party without the prior written permission of such third party. Executive hereby indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to defend the TRU Group and its respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and representatives from any actual breach of the foregoing covenant. During the Employment Term, Executive shall comply with all relevant written policies and guidelines of the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates which have been made available or disclosed to him, including regarding the protection of Confidential Information and intellectual property and potential conflicts of

interest. Executive acknowledges that the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates may amend any such policies and guidelines from time to time, and that Executive remains at all times bound by their most current version; provided, however, that Executive shall not be bound by any such amendments unless and until Executive receives notice of such amendments and copies thereof are made available or disclosed to her.

f.    The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason.

11.    Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Sections 9 or 10 would be inadequate and the Company and its subsidiaries and Affiliates would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened breach. In recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, may seek equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

12.    Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 11, any other dispute arising out of or asserting breach of this Agreement, or any statutory or common law claim by Executive relating to her employment under this Agreement or the termination thereof (including any tort or discrimination claim), shall be exclusively resolved by binding statutory arbitration in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration process shall take place in New York, New York. A court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. Each party shall pay the costs and expenses of arbitration (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by such party in connection with any dispute arising out of or asserting breach of this Agreement.

13.    Compliance with Code Section 409A.

a.    General. This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Code Section 409A”) and applicable advice and regulations issued thereunder. Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company nor its directors, officers, employees or advisers (other than Executive) shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by Executive as a result of the application of Code Section 409A in respect of any payments or benefits that may be provided under this Agreement or otherwise, except as provided in this Section 13.a. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that at the time that the Executive’s prior employment with the Company ended, neither party reasonably anticipated that any further services would be performed by the Executive to the Company or any of its Affiliates, and as such the Executive experienced a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event it is determined that such a “separation from service” did not occur, the Company agrees to reimburse the Executive for any additional income taxes, penalties and/or interest assessed against the Executive pursuant to

Code Section 409A (but not the regular income taxes payable by the Executive as a result of receiving such payments) with regard to the severance payments made to the Executive pursuant to the Separation and Release Agreement between the Executive and the Company dated February 17, 2012 (the “Severance Payments”), such that, after payment by the Executive of the additional income taxes, penalties and/or interest assessed under Code Section 409A, the Executive will be in the economic position the Executive would have been had such payment or distribution not been determined to be noncompliant with Code Section 409A. The Company also agrees to reimburse the Executive for expenses incurred during a tax audit or litigation addressing the existence or amount of any Code Section 409A tax liability for the Severance Payments in connection with the foregoing provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the Executive for such expenses regardless of the final determination regarding whether any such tax liability is due. Any Code Section 409A tax gross-up payment made pursuant to this paragraph shall be made (i) no later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year next following the Executive’s taxable year in which the Executive remits the related Code Section 409A taxes, or (ii) where as a result of such audit or litigation no taxes are remitted, the end of the Executive’s taxable year next following the Executive’s taxable year in which the audit is completed and there is a final and nonappealable settlement or other resolution of the litigation. The Company’s obligations to make the reimbursements described in this paragraph shall not be conditioned upon the Executive’s employment with the Company and shall survive and apply even after the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company or the Executive’s death.

b.    Definitional Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation”) would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder, or a different form of payment of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would be effected, by reason of a Change in Control or Executive’s Disability or termination of employment, such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation will not be payable or distributable to Executive, and/or such different form of payment will not be effected, by reason of such circumstance unless the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, Disability or termination of employment, as the case may be, meet any description or definition of “change in control event”, “disability” or “separation from service”, as the case may be, in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition). This provision does not affect the dollar amount or prohibit the vesting of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation upon a Change in Control, Disability or termination of employment, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, or the application of a different form of payment, such payment or distribution shall be made at the time and in the form that would have applied absent the non-409A-conforming event.

c.    Six-Month Delay in Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Agreement by reason of Executive’s separation from service with the TRU Group during a

period in which Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined under Code Section 409A regulations), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Company under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes): (i) the amount of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following Executive’s separation from service will be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first day of the seventh month following Executive’s separation from service (or, if Executive dies during such period, within 30 days after Executive’s death) (in either case, the “Required Delay Period”); and (ii) the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume at the end of the Required Delay Period.

d.    Treatment of Installment Payments. Each payment of termination benefits under this Agreement, including, without limitation, each installment payment and each payment or reimbursement of premiums for continued medical, dental or life insurance coverage under Section 7.c.(iii)(d), shall be considered a separate payment, as described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2), for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

e.    Timing of Release of Claims. Whenever in this Agreement a payment or benefit is conditioned on Executive’s execution of a release of claims, such release must be executed, and all revocation periods shall have expired, within 60 days after the date of termination of Executive’s employment; failing which such payment or benefit shall be forfeited. If such payment or benefit constitutes Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, and if such 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, the payment or benefit shall not be made or commence before the second such calendar year, even if the release becomes irrevocable in the first such calendar year.

f.    Permitted Acceleration. The Company shall have the sole authority to make any accelerated distribution permissible under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) to Executive of deferred amounts, provided that such distribution meets the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4).

14.    Miscellaneous.
