Vested units will be payable six months following the date of your termination of service as a director due to your (i) retirement or resignation from the Board, (ii) death or (iii) total and permanent disability, provided that such termination constitutes a separation from service under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), or, if later, upon the first date that payment may be made without violating the requirements of Code Section 409A.
