Executive hereby resigns from any and all officer, director, trustee or similar positions Executive held with the Company Group and the Company Group hereby accepts such resignations, effective as of the Separation Date. Executive agrees to provide documentation reasonably requested by the Company to reflect or evidence any such resignations.
(b)
Regardless of whether Executive signs this Agreement, Executive shall receive (i) all unpaid wages earned through the Separation Date, less any and all customary and usual deductions or withholdings in accordance with applicable law; (ii) accrued, unused vacation time, paid in accordance with the Company’s written policies and applicable law; (iii) unreimbursed expenses, paid in accordance with the Company’s written policies; and (iv) accrued and vested benefits under any retirement plan of the Company Group, paid pursuant to the terms of such plan.

It is Executive’s sole responsibility to timely elect and pay for COBRA coverage to be eligible for the COBRA Premium Payments;
