Common use of Release Prior to Payment of Severance Benefits Clause in Contracts

Release Prior to Payment of Severance Benefits. Prior to the payment of any of the Severance Benefits, Executive shall execute, and allow to become effective, a customary and standard employment release agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, Exhibit B, or Exhibit C, as applicable, releasing the Company (and its successor) from any and all claims Executive may have against such entities related to or arising in connection with his or her employment and the terms of such employment and termination thereof (the “Release”) within the time frame set forth therein, but not later than sixty (60) days following Executive’s Separation from Service (the “Release Effective Date”). Such Release shall specifically relate to all of Executive’s rights and claims in existence at the time of such execution and shall confirm Executive’s continuing obligations to the Company (including but not limited to obligations under any confidentiality and/or non-solicitation agreement with the Company). No Severance Benefits will be paid prior to the Release Effective Date. Within five (5) days following the Release Effective Date, the Company will pay Executive the Severance Benefits Executive would otherwise have received on or prior to such date but for the delay in payment related to the effectiveness of the Release, with the balance of the benefits being paid as originally scheduled. Unless a Change in Control has occurred, the Board, in its sole discretion, may modify the form of the required Release to comply with applicable law and shall determine the form of the required Release, which may be incorporated into a termination agreement or other agreement with Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) determines that any of the Severance Benefits constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A (defined below), then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, no Severance Benefits will be paid prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s Separation from Service. On the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of Separation from Service, the Company will pay to Executive in a lump sum the applicable Severance Benefits that Executive would otherwise have received on or prior to such date, with the balance of the Severance Benefits being paid as originally scheduled.
