Vesting of any unvested stock options and/or other equity securities shall cease on the date of termination. To receive the payments under (i) and (ii) above, Executive’s termination or resignation must constitute a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and without regard to any alternate definition thereunder) (a “Separation from Service”) and Executive must execute and allow the Release to become effective within 60 days of Executive’s termination or resignation.
