US-DOCS\140649349.2 Section 5(a)(ii) shall be paid or reimbursed as when due or incurred by the Executive during the Severance Period in accordance with Section 3, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(a), the Severance Payments shall be paid to the Executive, in accordance with the Company’s payroll policy, beginning on the payroll date which next occurs after the sixty first (61st) day following such termination; provided, that the Release is timely executed and delivered to the Company (and becomes effective) within such sixty (60) day period.

If the Executive terminates the Executive’s employment with the Company for Good Reason during the Employment Period, the Executive will be entitled to all payments and benefits as if the Executive had been terminated without Cause pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5(a) (including the Executive’s voluntary execution of the Release), provided that the Severance Period shall be three (3) months. The Executive’s right to receive the Severance Payments in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment for Good Reason for any particular event or circumstance shall cease to exist solely with respect to such event or circumstance if the Executive fails to provide written notice to the Company and the Board of such event or circumstance within thirty (30) days after the Executive has actual knowledge of the occurrence or existence thereof. 2. Superseding Amended Clauses; Interpretation. Upon signing of this First Amendment, the clauses altered by it shall supersede and replace their respective clauses from Executive’s original Agreement and any understandings, oral or written, between the Company and the Executive regarding the rights, privileges and obligations specified therein.
