For purposes of this Agreement, termination of Executive’s employment shall be “In Connection With a Change In Control” where it occurs within ninety (90) days before a Change In Control or within twelve (12) months after a Change In Control. Executive’s eligibility to receive the severance set forth in this Section 4.7 is conditioned on Executive having first signed a release agreement in the form
5
attached as Exhibit A and the release becoming irrevocable by its terms within fifty five (55) calendar days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment (or, if applicable, the date of Executive’s Separation from Service, as such term is defined in Section 4.9). All other obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall cease.
4.8 Timing of Payments. In the event that Executive becomes entitled to receive continued payment of Base Salary pursuant to Sections 4.2. 4.5 or 4.7, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any such payments until the Company’s first payroll date that is coincident with or next following the date that is fifty five (55) calendar days following the date of Executive’s termination of employment (or, if applicable, the date of Executive’s Separation from Service) and any payments that otherwise would have been paid to Executive during such period shall be paid to Executive with the first installment paid to Executive following the end of such period. Any Annual Bonus that becomes payable to Executive pursuant to Section 4.7 shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum payment on the date that Executive receives the first installment payment of continued Base Salary as provided in the preceding sentence.
4.9 Section 409A; Delayed Payments. To the extent applicable, the provisions in this Section 4 are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and guidance promulgated thereunder (“409A”) and this Agreement shall be administered and construed in a manner consistent with this intent. In the event that any compensation that becomes payable to Executive pursuant to this Section 4 qualifies as a deferral of compensation within the meaning of and subject to 409A, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (i) such compensation shall be paid to Executive only in the event of Executive’s “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of 409A (“Separation from Service”) and (ii) payment of that compensation shall be delayed if Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and such delayed payment is required by 409A. Such delay shall last six (6) months from the date of Executive’s Separation from Service. On the Company’s first payroll date that occurs after the end of such six-month period, the Company shall make a catch-up payment to Executive equal to the total amount of such payments that would have been made during the six-month period but for this Section 4.8. To the extent applicable, each and every payment to be made pursuant to Section 4.2, 4.5 or 4.7 shall be treated as a separate payment and not as one of a series of payments treated as a single payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii).
