If any mandatory term required for RSUs or related Dividend Equivalents to avoid tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code is not otherwise explicitly provided under this Agreement or the Plan, such term is hereby incorporated by reference and fully applicable as if set forth in this Agreement.

Executive hereby agrees to be bound by the Company's determination of its "specified employees" (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code) provided such determination is in accordance with any of the methods permitted under the regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code.

Any amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefit provided, during a calendar year shall not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefit to be provided, during any other calendar year. The right to any reimbursement or in-kind benefit pursuant to this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. View More
