installments beginning with the first business day of the month
following the Date of Termination, a cash severance amount

409A and if the Executive is a "specified employee" as that
term is defined under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), the aggregate
amount of the first seven installments shall be paid on the

if said payment constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation
pursuant to IRC 409A and if the Executive is a "specified
employee" as that term is defined under Code Section
