“The payments described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above shall be made, or commence in the case of payments described under clause (iii) above, on the Company’s first regular payroll date that occurs after the required waiver and release becomes irrevocable but in no event later than 90 days following Employee’s separation from employment; provided, however, that (a) such waiver and release shall be delivered to the Employee on or before the 14^th day following separation from employment and (b) if such payments could be paid (or commence to be paid) in or during either of two calendar years depending on the date such waiver and release is executed by Employee and delivered to the Company, such payments shall be made (or commence to be made in case of the payments described in clause (iii) above) on the later of January 15, or the date such release is delivered and becomes non- revocable, of such later calendar year.”
