18. Choice of Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice of law provisions.

19. 409A Statement. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“409A”). It will be interpreted in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A. References in this Agreement to a termination of your employment refer to the date you experience a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

(a) This subsection applies only if you are a “specified employee” under Section 409A at the time of your separation from service with the Company. If you are, and if deferring the start of payments or benefits otherwise payable to you as a result of that separation is necessary to prevent an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, then the Company will defer starting to pay such to you until the date that is (i) six months following your separation from service or (ii) the earliest date permitted under Section 409A. At that point, all payments deferred pursuant to this subsection will be paid to you in a lump-sum and without any reduction in the payments or benefits ultimately given to you. This provision supersedes any terms in this Agreement to the contrary.

(b) Also, if any other payments of money or other benefits due to you under this Agreement could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, such payments or other benefits will be deferred if deferral will make them compliant with Section 409A. Otherwise, such payment or other benefits will be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner determined by the Company that does not cause such an accelerated or additional tax. This provision supersedes any terms in this Agreement to the contrary.

(c) To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefits due to you under this Agreement constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A, they will be paid to you in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv). Each payment made under this Agreement will be designated as a “separate payment” within the meaning of Section 409A.
