For purposes of the Plan, the determination of whether the Participant’s employment with the Company has terminatedand, if so, the time at which such termination occurs and the effective date of such termination, shall be the same determination as whether the Participant has a “separation from service” with the Company as defined and determinedpursuant to section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), and regulations and other guidance promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect thereto.
