As a condition to Executive’s receipt of any post-termination benefits pursuant to Section 3(a) or Section 3(b) above (other than the Accrued Obligations), Executive shall execute and not revoke a general release of all claims in favor of the Company (the “Release”) in the form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A (and any applicable revocation period applicable to such Release shall have expired) within the sixty (60) day period following the Date of Termination.

Release. As a condition to Executive’s receipt of any post-termination benefits pursuant to [Sections 4(c) and 4(d)])] above (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”), Executive shall execute and not revoke a general release of all claims in favor of the Company (the “Release”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. In the event the Release does not become effective within the fifty-five (55) day period following the Separation Date, Executive shall not be entitled to the aforesaid payments and benefits.

As a condition to Executive’s receipt of any post-termination benefits pursuant to this Paragraph 3, Executive shall execute and not revoke a general release of all claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates (the “Release”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which may include an agreement not to disparage the Company, non-solicit provisions and other standard terms and conditions). In the event the Release does not become effective within the fifty-five (55) day period following the Executive’s Date of Termination, Executive shall not be entitled to the aforesaid payments and benefits. In no event will severance payments or benefits pursuant to this Paragraph 3 be paid or provided until the Release becomes effective and irrevocable.

Release. Executive’s execution of a complete and general release of any and all of her potential claims (other than for benefits and payments described in this Agreement or any other vested benefits with the Employees and/or their affiliates) against the Employer, any of its affiliated companies, and their respective successors and any officers, employees, agents, directors, attorneys, insurers, underwriters, and assigns of the Employer or its affiliates and/or successors, in a form provided by Employer (which form shall be generally consistent with the form of severance agreement and general release then used by Employer for senior executives), and any legally required revocation period applicable to such release having expired without Executive revoking such release, is an express condition of Executive’s right to receive termination payments, vesting, and benefits under this Agreement. Executive shall be required to execute within 45 days after Executive’s termination of employment a general waiver and release agreement which documents the release required under this Section 6(i).

Release and Continued Compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, as a condition precedent to receiving any payments or benefits under Section 3.3 (other than the Accrued Obligations), the Executive agrees to execute a standard separation and release agreement, in a form specified by the Company, containing a waiver of all claims against the Company (the “Release”), within the 45-day period immediately following the Termination Date, and subsequently not revoke the Release during any statutory post-execution revocation period. All revocation rights and timing restrictions will be set forth in such Release. If the Executive fails to execute and deliver the Release, or revokes the Release, the Executive agrees that he shall not be entitled to receive any payments or benefits under this Agreement (other than the Accrued Obligations) in connection with any applicable termination scenario. The Executive’s receipt of any payments or benefits under this Agreement (other than the Accrued Obligations) in connection with any applicable termination scenario, will also be subject to the Executive’s continued compliance with Sections 5, 6, and 7.

Release. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Executive’s right to receive (or retain) the payments and benefits set forth in Section 8.D or 8.E, as applicable, other than the Accrued Obligations through the date of termination, is conditioned on and subject to Executive’s execution within twenty-one (21) days (or, to the extent required by applicable law, forty-five (45) days) following the termination date and non-revocation within seven (7) days thereafter of a general release of claims in a form provided by the [[Organization A:Organization]].

Release of Claims. To be eligible to receive benefits under the Plan, an Executive must execute a general waiver and release in substantially the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, EXHIBIT B, or EXHIBIT C, as appropriate, within the time provided by the Company, and such release must become effective in accordance with its terms. The Company, in its sole discretion, may modify the form of the required release to comply with applicable law and shall determine the form of the required release, which may be incorporated into a termination agreement or other agreement with the Executive. The Executive will not receive any of the severance benefits provided for under this Plan unless and until the release is timely executed and becomes effective in accordance with its terms (the date on which the release becomes effective, the “Release Date”, which date may in no event be later than sixty (60) days following the Executive’s termination). Any severance benefits owed to the Executive through the Release Date will be paid in a lump sum on the Release Date, with the balance of the severance payments and benefits commencing thereafter in accordance with the original payment schedules set forth in this Plan.

Release. As a condition precedent to the payment or provision by the Company of the amounts set forth under the Section 7.2 or 7.3 (other than the Accrued Obligations, which shall be payable in all events), as applicable, the Employee must execute a release in substantially the form attached hereto as [Exhibit A] (the “Release”) within forty-five (45) days following the date of termination and not revoke such Release within the subsequent seven (7) day revocation period (if applicable).

Release. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, as a condition of payment of the Severance Benefits described in Paragraphs 12(a)(ii)-(iv) above, the Executive must execute, and not timely revoke during any revocation period provided therein, a general release of claims against the Company and the Bank and their subsidiaries and affiliates and successors in the form provided by the Company. The Company shall provide the release to the Executive in sufficient time so that if the Executive timely executes and returns the release, the revocation period will expire no later than sixty (60) days following the effective date of the Qualifying Termination. If the Executive fails to execute and return the release such that any revocation period does not expire on or prior to such sixtieth (60th) day, all such payments conditioned upon such release shall be forfeited. Where the foregoing sixty (60) day period spans two (2) calendar years, any payments withheld pending execution of the release and expiration of its revocation period shall not be paid prior to January 1 of the second calendar year.

General Release. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, # Executive shall not be entitled to receive any payments, Benefits or other compensation under this paragraph 4 (beyond the Accrued Obligations) unless and until Executive has executed and delivered to the Company a general release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “General Release”) (with such changes thereto as may be required due to # changes in the law or if Executive’s termination of employment is part of a reduction in force requiring a longer (45-day) opportunity to consider the Release or # to comply with Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (“OWBPA”) or state law requirements) within sixty (60) days of the Termination Date, and the time for revocation of such release has elapsed and # to the extent that the payment of any amount constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A, any such payment scheduled to occur during the first sixty (60) days following the termination of employment shall not be paid until the first regularly scheduled pay period following the sixtieth (60th) day following such termination and shall include payment of any amount that was otherwise scheduled to be paid prior thereto.
