Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the payments and benefits described in Section 8.1 are conditioned on Executive’s execution and delivery to the Company, within 60 days following his cessation of employment, of a general release of claims against the Company and its affiliates in such form as the Company may reasonably require in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (the “Release”). The salary continuation benefits described in Section 8.1 will begin to be paid or provided as soon as the Release becomes irrevocable; provided, however, that if the 60-day period described in the previous sentence begins in one taxable year and ends in a second taxable year and if the cash payments and benefits described in Section 8.1 exceed the limitations applicable to a “separation pay plan” under Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), such payments and other rights shall not commence until the second taxable year.
