However, to the extent that any payment under this Agreement is subject to Section 409A of the Code, it is intended to comply with Section 409A and this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed accordingly and in a manner that avoids the imposition of taxes and other penalties under Section 409A (such taxes and other penalties referred to collectively as "409A Penalties"). In the event that Klondex G&S determines that the terms of this Agreement would subject the Employee to 409A Penalties, Klondex G&S and the Employee shall cooperate diligently to amend the terms of this Agreement to avoid such 409A Penalties, to the extent possible; provided, however, that this Section 6.15 shall not create any obligation on the part of Klondex G&S to adopt any such amendment or take any such other action. All references in this Agreement to the Employee's termination of employment shall mean a "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Any payment that is "deferred compensation" within the meaning of and subject to Section 409A of the Code that becomes payable as a result of the Employee's separation from service and that is conditioned upon the Employee's execution of a Release will be paid within 90 days following the Employee's separation from service and if such period begins in one taxable year and carries over into a second taxable year, payment shall be made in the second taxable year, and in no event shall the Employee have the ability to influence the year in which payment will occur. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if on the date of the Employee's "separation from service" the Employee is a "specified employee," as defined in Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent any amount payable under this Agreement upon the Employee's separation from service would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (x) the first day of the seventh month following the Employee's separation from service or (y) the date of the Employee's death.
