a mutually agreeable fashion to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the
original intent of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of

as a guarantee by the Company of any particular tax effect to Executive under
this Agreement. The Company shall not be liable to Executive for any payment
made under this Agreement, at the direction or with the consent of Executive,
that is determined to result in an additional tax, penalty, or interest under
Section 409A of the Code, nor for reporting in good faith any payment made under
this Agreement as an amount includible in gross income under Section 409A of the
Code.
(d) For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the right to a
series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a right
to a series of separate payments.

provision of in-kind benefits to, the Executive, as specified under this
Agreement, such reimbursement of expenses or provision of in-kind benefits shall
be subject to the following conditions: (1) the expenses eligible for
reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year

in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, except for any medical
reimbursement arrangement providing for the reimbursement of expenses referred
to in Section 105(b) of the Code; (2) the reimbursement of an eligible expense
shall be made no later than the end of the year after the year in which such
expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits
shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
(f) "Termination of employment," "resignation" or words of
similar import, as used in this Agreement, means for purposes of Section 409A of
the Code the date as of which
-8-
the Company and the Executive reasonably anticipate that no further services
will be performed by the Executive and shall be construed as the date that the
Executive first incurs a "separation from service" for purposes of Section 409A
of the Code.
(g) If a payment obligation under this Agreement arises on
account of the Executive's separation from service while the Executive is a
"specified employee" (as defined under Section 409A of the Code and determined
in good faith by the Compensation Committee), any payment of "deferred
compensation" (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(1),
after giving effect to the exemptions in Treasury Regulation Sections
1.409A-1(b)(3) through (b)(12)) shall accrue without interest and shall be made
within 15 days after the end of the six-month period beginning on the date of
such termination of employment or, if earlier, within 15 days after the
appointment of the personal representative or executor of the Executive's estate
following his death.

and shall inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, legal representatives,

hereto, such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity and
enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

the District of New Jersey shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the parties to
which they consent.
