Section 409A Compliance. Section 409A of the Code imposes an additional 20% tax, plus interest, on payments from "non-qualified deferred compensation plans." Certain payments under this Grant Agreement could be considered to be payments under a "non-qualified deferred compensation plan." The additional 20% tax and interest do not apply if the payment qualifies for an exception to the requirements of Section 409A or complies with the requirements of Section 409A. The Company believes, but does not and cannot warrant or guaranty, that the payments due pursuant to this Grant Agreement qualify for the short-term deferral exception to Section 409A of the Code as set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Grant Agreement, if the Company determines that neither the short-term deferral exception nor any other exception to Section 409A applies to the payments due pursuant to this Grant Agreement, to the extent any payments are due on the Grantee's termination of employment, the term "termination of employment" shall mean "separation from service" as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). In addition, if the Grantee is a "specified employee" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) and any payments due pursuant to this Grant Agreement are payable on the Grantee's "separation from service," then such payments shall be paid on the first business day following the expiration of the six month period following the Grantee's "separation from service." This Grant Agreement shall be operated in compliance with Section 409A or an exception thereto and each provision of this Grant Agreement shall be interpreted, to the extent possible, to comply with Section 409A or to qualify for an applicable exception. The Grantee remains solely responsible for any adverse tax consequences imposed upon the Grantee by Section 409A. View More Arrow
