8
(i) The Company shall pay the Employee's full base salary
through the date of termination at the rate which is the higher
of the (then) current annual rate or the annual rate in effect
immediately prior to the date of any Change in Control. The
Company shall also pay the Employee the amount, if any, of any

(ii) Subject to Sections 12(c)(iv) and 12(c)(v) hereof, the
Company shall pay as Severance Benefits to the Employee on or
before the fifth (5th) day following the date of termination of
employment, a lump sum payment ("the lump sum payment") equal to
two and fifty one hundredths (2.50) times the sum of (A) the
Employee's base salary at the rate which is the higher of the
(then) current annual rate or the annual rate in effect
immediately prior to the date of any Change in Control and (B)
the average of the annual bonuses received by the Employee for
each of the last three fiscal years of the Company. Such lump sum
payment shall be subject to all applicable Federal, state and
local income and FICA taxes including all required withholding
amounts.
(iii) For the continued benefit of the Employee and the
Employee's eligible dependents, the Company shall maintain in
full force and effect until the earlier of (A) December 31 of the
second calendar year following the calendar year of termination
or (B) the Employee's commencement of full-time employment with a
new employer, at the same cost as is paid by similarly-situated
continuing employees all medical and health plans and programs
for which the Employee was eligible immediately prior to the date
of termination, provided that the Employee's continued
participation is possible under the general terms and provisions
of such plans and programs, and subject further to such periodic
changes in such plans and programs as are generally applicable to
all participants in such plans and programs. The Employee will be
responsible for any income tax liability arising out of any
continued participation in such health and medical plans and
programs, and notwithstanding the provision of this Section
12(c)(iii), no additional employment service credits shall be
given for the period of such continued participation.
(iv) The Severance Benefits to be provided to the Employee
hereunder and all other payments or benefits which are "parachute
payments" (as defined in Section 280(G)(b)(2)(A) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") payable to the
Employee under other arrangements or agreements (the "Total
Payments") shall be adjusted as set forth in this Section
12(c)(iv). If the Total Payments as a result of any Change in
Control would (in the aggregate) result in an amount not being
deductible under Code Section 280G or an excise tax under Section
4999, the Total Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary
so that the deductibility of the full amount of such reduced
Total Payments is not limited by Code Section 280G or such Total
Payment is not subject to an excise tax under Section 4999.
(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any
payments due under this Agreement would subject Employee to any
tax imposed under Section 409A of
9
the Code if such payments were made at the time otherwise
provided herein, then the payments that cause such taxation shall
be payable in a single lump sum on the first day which is at
least six months after the date of the Employee's "separation of
service" as set forth in Code Section 409A and the regulations
issued thereunder."
