“Separation from Service” means a termination of the Participant’s employment or service with the Company and all of its controlled group members within the meaning of Code Section 409A. Whether a Separation from Service has occurred is determined based on whether the facts and circumstances indicate that the Company and Participant reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services the Participant would perform after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than 25% of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding thirty-six month period (or the full period of services to the Company if the Participant has been providing services to the Company less than thirty-six months). For periods during which a Participant is on a paid bona fide leave of absence (as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h)(1)(i)) and has not otherwise terminated employment, the Participant is treated as providing bona fide services at a level equal to the level of services that the Participant would have been required to perform to receive the compensation paid with respect to such leave of absence. Periods during which a Participant is on an unpaid bona fide leave of absence (as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h)(1)(i)) and has not otherwise terminated employment are disregarded for purposes of this definition (including for purposes of determining the applicable thirty-six month period). There is no Separation from Service of a Participant with the Company (or any of its controlled group members within the meaning of Code Section 409A) where there is a simultaneous reemployment (or commencement of service) or continuing employment (or service) of the Participant by the Company or any of controlled group members within the meaning of Code Section 409A.
