Certain Reductions and Offsets. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, any benefits payable to an Eligible Employee under this Plan shall be reduced by any severance benefits payable by the Company to such individual under any other policy, plan, program or arrangement, including, without limitation, a contract between the Eligible Employee and any entity, covering such individual. Furthermore, to the extent that any federal, state or local laws, including, without limitation, so-called "plant closing" laws, require the Company to give advance notice or make a payment of any kind to an Eligible Employee because of that Eligible Employee's involuntary termination due to a layoff, reduction in force, plant or facility closing, sale of business, change of control, or any other similar event or reason, the benefits payable under this Plan shall either be reduced or eliminated. The benefits provided under this Plan are intended to satisfy any and all statutory obligations that may arise out of an Eligible Employee's involuntary termination of employment for the foregoing reasons, and the Plan Administrator shall so construe and implement the terms of the Plan.
