Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by a Participant in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of the Participant's employment, whether pursuant to the terms of the Plan or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company or entity whose actions result in a Change in Control or any affiliate of the Company or such entity (all such payments and benefits, including the payments under this Section 3.7, being hereinafter called "Total Payments") would not be deductible (in whole or part) by the Company, an affiliate or entity making such payment or providing such benefit, as a result of Code Section 280G, then, to the extent necessary to make such portion of the Total Payments deductible (and after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments made on account of Code Section 280G in such other plan, arrangement or agreement), the payment described in this Section shall be reduced (if necessary, to zero).  For purposes of this limitation (i) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company's independent auditors and reasonably acceptable to the Participant does not constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2), including by reason of Code Section 280G(b)(4)(A); (ii) the payment under this Section shall be reduced only to the extent necessary so that the Total Payments are not subject to disallowance as deductions, in the opinion of the tax counsel referred to in clause (i); and (iii) the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Company's independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Code Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4).</P>

The claimant (or his duly authorized representative) may review pertinent documents related to the Plan and in the Compensation Committee's possession in order to prepare the appeal.  The request for review, together with a written statement of the claimant's position, must be filed with the Compensation Committee no later than 60 days after receipt of the written notification of denial of a claim provided for in subsection (a).  The Compensation Committee's decision shall be made within 60 days following the filing of the request for review; provided, if special circumstances require an extension, the Compensation Committee may extend such 60-day period by up to an additional 60 days, by providing a notice of such extension to the claimant before the end of the initial 60-day period.

If receipt and release is required but the Participant or Surviving Spouse (as applicable) does not provide such receipt and release in a timely enough manner to permit a timely distribution in accordance with the general timing of distribution provisions in the Plan, the payment of any affected distribution(s) may be delayed until the Compensation Committee receives a proper receipt and release.<BR>
