The Company&#8217;s obligation to pay Executive the Severance Payment (Section 4.2.1.1) and the Change in Control Severance Payment (Section 4.3.1), shall be subject to the Executive executing a release of claims against the Company before the end of the Release Expiration Date (defined below) and provided further that nothing contained in such release shall constitute a release of the Company from any obligations it may have to the Executive (a) under this Agreement or any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company in effect as of the date of termination; (b) relating to any employee benefit plan, stock option plan, stock option agreement or ownership of the Company&#8217;s stock or debt securities; or (c) relating to any rights of indemnification and/or defense under the Company&#8217;s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, under any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company or coverage under officers and directors insurance. The Company will deliver such release to Executive pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.6 within ten (10) calendar days following the date on which such termination of employment constitutes a separation of service under the terms of this Agreement, and the Company&#8217;s failure to deliver such release prior to the expiration of such date of termination shall constitute a waiver of any requirement to execute such release. Assuming timely delivery of the release by the Company, if the release is pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 4.6, and Executive fails to execute such release on or prior to the Release Expiration Date, Executive will not be entitled to Severance Payments or the Change in Control Severance Payment. In any case where the date of the separation from service and the Release Expiration Date fall in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to Executive that are subject to the release condition and are treated as nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A shall be made in the later taxable year. The term &#8220;Release Expiration Date&#8221; shall mean the date that is twenty-one (21) days following the date upon which the Company timely delivers to Executive the release meeting the requirements as provided above, or in the event that Executive&#8217;s separation from service is &#8220;in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program&#8221; (as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967), the date that is forty-five (45) days following such delivery.</FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE>
