Section 409A . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, if you are determined to be a “specified
employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code, as amended (“Section 409A”)
and the regulations thereunder, as of the date of your
“separation from service” as defined in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (or any successor
regulation), and if any payments or entitlements provided for in
this Agreement constitute a “deferral of compensation”
within the meaning of Section 409A and therefore cannot be
paid or provided in the manner provided herein without subjecting
you to additional tax, interest or penalties under
Section 409A, then any such payment and/or entitlement which
would have been payable during the first six months following your
“separation from service” shall instead be paid or
provided to you in a lump sum payment on the first business day
immediately following the six-month anniversary of your
“separation from service”. If this payment has had to
be deferred in this way for six months after your separation from
service, then the lump sum payment will also include interest on
the deferred payment or payments at a per annum rate equal to the
highest rate of interest not exceeding 4% applicable to six-month
money market accounts on the date of such “separation from
service” offered by the following institutions: Citibank
N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or Bank
