Executive’s entitlement to the Severance Benefits is further conditioned upon complying with the terms of Sections 6(i), 8, 9(a) and 9(b) hereof, subject to written notice by the Company and a reasonable opportunity for Executive to cure, if subject to cure. The Company shall deliver to Executive a copy of the Release not later than three (3) days after the Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof. In the event that the sixty (60) day period referenced above begins and ends in different taxable years of Executive, any payments or benefits under this Agreement that constitute nonqualified

Certain Termination/Severance Payments Conditioned Upon Executive’s Release of Claims. The Executive’s right to receive any of the termination/severance payments provided for in subsection # of Section 10(a)(ii) is expressly conditioned upon, and the Company will be obligated to provide the Executive with such termination/severance payments only upon, the execution and delivery to the Company by the Executive of a release in substantially the form of Exhibit A. Such release must be executed by the Executive no less than thirty (30) days after the Employment Termination Date and payments to the Executive of the compensation or benefits hereunder shall commence within forty-five (45) days after the Employment Termination Date; provided that if such forty-five (45) day period begins in one calendar year and ends in another calendar year, payment shall always be made (or commence) in the second calendar year.

If Executive’s employment terminates as described in Section 3.1(a) above and if, upon such termination, Executive # executes within twenty-one (21) days (or forty-five (45) days to the extent required by applicable law) after presentation to the Executive of, that he does not timely revoke, a written general release in a form provided by the Company releasing the Company from any and all claims (including with respect to all matters arising out of or related to Executive’s employment by the Company or the termination thereof) (theRelease”), and # complies with the terms and conditions of the Release, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of [Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9]9] of this Agreement (which shall be incorporated in the Release by reference) below, Executive will be entitled to receive cash severance in an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s then-current Base Salary, plus a cash amount representing the total cost of the group healthcare premiums the Executive would have paid based

Any obligation of the Company to the Executive hereunder, other than for her Final Compensation, is conditioned, however, on the Executive’s timely and effective execution of the form of release included with this Agreement as [Exhibit A], by the deadline specified therein (any such release submitted by such deadline, theEmployee Release”) and delivering it to the Company not later than the deadline specified therein, which shall not be later than the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following the date of her Separation from Service. Subject to Section 5(g) below, severance pay to which the Executive is entitled hereunder shall be payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company, with the first payment, which shall be retroactive to the day immediately following the Termination Date, being due and payable on the Company’s next regular payday for executives that follows the expiration of sixty (60) calendar days from the Termination Date. The Release of Claims required for separation benefits in accordance with this Section 5(d) or Section 5(e) creates legally binding obligations on the part of the Executive and the Company therefore advises the Executive to seek the advice of an attorney before signing it.

Release. As a condition of receiving any and all amounts payable and benefits or additional rights provided pursuant to this Agreement beyond the Accrued Benefits, the Executive must execute and deliver to the Company and not revoke a general release of claims in favor of the Company in substantially the form attached on Exhibit A hereto (theRelease”). The Release must be executed and delivered (and no longer subject to revocation, if applicable) within sixty (60) days following the Executive’s Date of Termination. The Company shall deliver to the Executive the Release for the Executive to execute within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination.

Severance Benefits. Upon a Covered Termination (as defined in [Section 7.11]), and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Executive shall be eligible to receive the benefits set forth in this [Article 3]. The receipt of any severance payments or benefits pursuant to this Agreement is subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and general release of claims (theRelease”), in substantially the form attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, Exhibit B, or Exhibit C, as appropriate, which Release must become effective and irrevocable no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination of employment (theRelease Deadline Date”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline Date, Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under this Agreement. In no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective and irrevocable.

Release. Receipt of the Severance Package pursuant to Sections 4(d), 4(e) or 5(c) shall be in lieu of all other amounts payable by the Company to the Executive and in settlement and complete release of all claims the Executive may have against the Company other than those arising pursuant to payment of the Severance Package. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not have any obligation to pay any amount or provide any benefit, as the case may be, under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 4(d), 4(e) or 5(c), unless the Executive executes, delivers to the Company, and does not revoke (to the extent the Employee is allowed to do so), a general release within fifty-three (53) days of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, which shall set forth # a release of the Company and its affiliates, in such form as the Company may reasonably request, of all claims against the Company and its affiliates relating to the Executive’s employment and termination thereof, and # an agreement to continue to comply with and be bound by, the provisions of Section 3 hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 7 below, the Company shall be obligated to provide the Severance Benefits and the pro rata bonus described in Section 2.2(b) only if within 60 days after the Termination Date the Executive shall have executed a separation and release of claims and covenant not to sue agreement substantially similar to the form of waiver and release attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B (theRelease Agreement”) and such Release Agreement shall not have been revoked within the revocation period specified in the Release Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no obligation to provide the Severance Benefits, and the Executive shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits, if the Executive has failed to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 4 and such failure is sufficient to constitute a material breach of this Agreement, the Company may suspend, terminate and/or recover from the Executive the Severance Benefits.

Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Sections 6 or 7 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and general release of claims in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company (theRelease”) and provided that such Release becomes effective and irrevocable no later than sixty (60) days following the termination date (such deadline, theRelease Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to severance or benefits under this Agreement. In no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the Release becomes effective and 82723024_2

Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The Executive’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon the Executive’s Qualifying Termination under Section 3 is subject to the Executive signing and not revoking the Company’s then-standard separation agreement and release of claims (which may include an agreement not to disparage any member of the Company Group, non-solicit provisions, an agreement to assist in any litigation matters, and other standard terms and conditions) (theRelease” and that requirement, theRelease Requirement”), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the 60th day following the Executive’s Qualifying Termination (theRelease Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, the Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under Section 3.

The Executive's eligibility for Severance is conditioned on the Executive having first signed a release agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Release") and such Release becoming effective pursuant to its terms no later than sixty (60) days following the date of termination of the Executive's employment (the "Release Deadline"). The Executive shall not be entitled to any Severance if Executive's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 5 for Cause, by Death or by Complete Disability or if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Executive (except for a termination for Good Reason, as provided in Section 6.b below).
