Any Severance Benefits that are scheduled to be paid following the date of Executive’s termination of employment hereunder and prior to the Release Deadline Date will not be paid until the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the Release Deadline Date, at which time, so long as the Release of Claims has become effective and irrevocable, Executive will be paid, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Severance Benefits that were otherwise scheduled to be paid prior thereto, and any remaining Severance Benefits will thereafter be provided to Executive according to the applicable schedule set forth in this Agreement.

7
(h) Offset. In the event of any termination of Executive’s employment under this Agreement for any reason or for no reason, the Company’s obligation to make any payments to Executive under this Agreement will be subject to offset to the maximum extent permitted by Code Section 409A for any loans, debts, obligations or expenses that Executive owes to the Company Group; provided, to the extent any amount so subject to offset is payable in installments hereunder, such offset will not modify the applicable payment date of any installment, and to the extent an obligation cannot be satisfied by reduction of a single installment payment, any portion not satisfied will remain an outstanding obligation of Executive and will be applied to the next installment only at such time the installment is otherwise payable pursuant to the specified payment schedule.
