The intent of the Parties is that payments and benefits contemplated under this Agreement are exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A, and accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted to be exempt therefrom or in compliance therewith. Executive and the Company hereby agree that the cessation of Executive&#x2019;s employment on the Separation Date will constitute a &#x201c;separation from service&#x201d; within the meaning of Section 409A. To the extent this Agreement provides for reimbursements of expenses incurred by Executive or in-kind benefits the provision of which are not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A, the following terms apply with respect to such reimbursements or benefits: (i) the reimbursement of expenses or provision of in- kind benefits will be made or provided only during the period of time specifically provided herein; (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year will not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; (iii) all reimbursements will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and (iv) the right to reimbursement or the in-kind benefit will not be subject to liquidation or exchange for payment. For purposes of Section 409A, Executive&#x2019;s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments. Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.</font></div></div>
