APPENDIX A

DEFINITIONS

“Affiliate” means all persons with whom the Company would be considered a single employer under Section 414(b) of the Code and all persons with whom such person would be considered a single employer under Section 414(c) of the Code.

“Disabled” means a Participant qualifies for long-term disability benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan, or if the Company does not sponsor such a disability plan, the Participant qualifies for Social Security Disability Insurance under Title II of the Social Security Act. Notwithstanding the forgoing, all determinations of whether a Participant is Disabled shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the guidance thereunder.

“Separation from Service” means a Participant’s termination or deemed termination from employment with the Company and its Affiliates. For purposes of determining whether a Separation from Service has occurred, the employment relationship is treated as continuing intact while the Participant is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Participant retains a right to reemployment with his or her employer under an applicable statute or by contract. For this purpose, a leave of absence constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Participant will return to perform services for his or her employer. If the period of leave exceeds six months and the Participant does not retain a right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be deemed to terminate on the first date immediately following such six month period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to last for a continuous period of more than six months but less than 12 months, and such impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of the Participant’s position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, a period equal to such Participant’s leave of absence will be substituted for such six-month period, so long as that period is less than 12 months. If such an absence exceeds 12 months, then the Participant will be considered Disabled and Section 4(d) will govern.

A Separation from Service occurs at the date as of which the facts and circumstances indicate either that, after such date: (A) the Participant and the Company reasonably anticipate the Participant will perform no further services for the Company and its Affiliates (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) or (B) that the level of bona fide services the Participant will perform for the Company and its Affiliates (whether as an employee or independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than 20% of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36-month period or, if the Participant has been providing services to the Company and its Affiliates for less than 36 months, the full period over which the Participant has rendered services, whether as an employee or independent contractor. The determination of whether a Separation from Service has occurred shall be governed by the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1, as amended, taking into account the objective facts and circumstances with respect to the level of bona fide services performed by the Participant after a certain date.
