Each COBRA Premium reimbursement shall be provided to Executive by Company within 30 days of its receipt of such evidence of the COBRA Premium payment; provided, further, however, that Company shall have no obligation to provide Executive the COBRA Premium reimbursement for any period in which Executive is eligible to participate in a group medical plan sponsored by any other employer.

For purposes of this Agreement, acceptance by Company of Executive’s resignation upon Company’s request or by mutual agreement shall be deemed to be a termination by Company according to this Section 5(d)(i). In the event that Executive’s employment is terminated by Company for any reason other than Cause (defined in Section 5(d)(ii) below) and not due to Executive’s death or Disability, then in addition to any compensation or benefits to which Executive may be entitled through the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 5(f) below) and payment for the value of any accrued, unused paid time off then-existing as of the Date of Termination, # Company shall pay Executive # a lump sum equal to one and one-half times Executive’s Base Compensation, payable on Company’s first regular pay date that is on or after the 60th day following the Date of Termination and # an amount equal to one and one-half times Executive’s Target Bonus for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, payable in four substantially equal installments, with the first such installment paid on Company’s first regular pay date that is on or after the 60th day following the Date of Termination and the three remaining installments paid on the last business day of each of the three calendar quarters immediately following the calendar quarter that includes the Date of Termination and # for the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the date that is 18 months after the Date of Termination, Company shall reimburse Executive for the COBRA Premium (as defined above); provided, however, that in order to receive a COBRA Premium reimbursement, Executive must timely elect COBRA continuation coverage, pay the applicable COBRA Premium and provide Company with evidence satisfactory to Company of Executive’s having paid the COBRA Premium within 30 days of having paid such COBRA Premium; provided, further, however, that no COBRA Premium reimbursement shall be payable if such reimbursement could reasonably be expected to subject Company or any member of the Company Group to sanctions imposed pursuant to [Section 2716] of the PHSA. Each COBRA Premium reimbursement shall be provided to Executive by Company within 30 days of its receipt of such evidence of the COBRA Premium payment; provided, further, however, that Company shall have no obligation to provide Executive the COBRA Premium reimbursement for any period in which Executive is eligible to participate in a group medical plan sponsored by any other employer. Executive agrees and understands that the payment of any COBRA Premium will remain Executive’s sole responsibility. Collectively, the payments made under this Section shall be referred to as the “Without Cause Separation Package.”

Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. If during the Employment Term, Executive's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause, or by Executive for Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive # a lump sum payment equal to Executive's accrued and unpaid salary as of the Termination Date (collectively the "Accrued Benefits") and # a cash amount equivalent to the gross amount of Executive's monthly COBRA premiums for health insurance, based on Executive's current elections, for a period of twelve (12) months payable in a lump sum payment on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date. It will be Executive's responsibility to timely elect COBRA and to make any and all required payments to maintain coverage under COBRA (the "COBRA Payment"). In addition to the COBRA Payment, Executive's outstanding Equity Awards shall vest as may be provided in the terms of the applicable Equity Award grant agreements, and Executive shall be entitled to a cash severance payment, payable in a lump sum payment on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, which will be determined as follows (the "Severance Payment"):

After a Change in Control. If Executive terminates his employment with Good Reason or Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause (and not due to Executive’s death or Disability) within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control (as defined below), then in addition to any compensation or benefits to which Executive may be entitled through the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 5(f) and payment for the value of any accrued, unused paid time off then-existing as of the Date of Termination, and in lieu of the Without Cause Separation Package or Good Reason Separation Package to which Executive would otherwise be entitled pursuant to Section 5(d)(i) or Section 5(a)(ii), (A) Company shall pay Executive # a lump sum equal to two times Executive’s Base Compensation, payable on Company’s first regular pay date that is on or after the 60th day following the Date of Termination and # an amount equal to two times the Target Bonus for the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs, payable in four substantially equal installments with the first such installment paid on Company’s first regular pay date that is on or after the 60th day following the Date of Termination and the three remaining installments paid in each of the three calendar quarters immediately following the calendar quarter that includes the Date of Termination and # for the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the date that is 18 months after the Date of Termination, Company shall reimburse Executive for the COBRA Premium; provided, however, that in order to receive a COBRA Premium reimbursement, Executive must timely elect COBRA continuation coverage, pay the applicable COBRA Premium and provide Company with evidence satisfactory to Company of Executive’s having paid the COBRA Premium within 30 days of having paid such COBRA Premium; provided, further, however, that no COBRA Premium reimbursement shall be payable if such reimbursement could reasonably be expected to subject Company or any member of the Company Group to sanctions imposed pursuant to [Section 2716] of the PHSA. Each COBRA Premium reimbursement shall be provided to Executive by Company within 30 days of its receipt of such evidence of the COBRA Premium payment; provided, further, however, that Company shall have no obligation to provide Executive the COBRA Premium reimbursement for any period in which Executive is eligible to participate in a group medical plan sponsored by any other employer. Executive agrees and understands that the payment of any COBRA Premium will remain Executive’s sole responsibility. Collectively, the payments made under this Section shall be referred to as the “CIC Separation Package.” For the avoidance of doubt, if Executive’s employment is not terminated by Executive with Good Reason or by Company without Cause (and not due to Executive’s death or Disability) within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, then Executive shall no longer be eligible to receive the CIC Separation Package with respect to such Change in Control but shall remain eligible to receive the Without Cause Separation Package or Good Reason Separation Package pursuant to Section 5(d)(i) or Section 5(a)(ii) or, if in the future Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive with Good Reason or by Company without Cause (and not due to Executive’s death or Disability) within twelve (12) months following the occurrence of a subsequent Change in Control, Executive shall again be eligible to receive the CIC Separation Package.

In addition, any equity grants issued to Executive shall immediately vest upon termination of Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(a)(v) or 5(a)(vii).

Upon termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) (Death) or # (Disability), in addition to the accrued but unpaid compensation and vacation pay through the date of death or Total Disability and any other benefits accrued to him under any Benefit Plans outstanding at such time and the reimbursement of documented, unreimbursed expenses incurred prior to such date, the Executive or his estate or beneficiaries, as applicable, shall be entitled to the following severance benefits: # twenty-four (24) months’ Base Salary at the then current rate, payable in a lump sum, less withholding of applicable taxes, within thirty (30) days of the date of termination; # if the Executive elects continuation coverage for group health coverage pursuant to COBRA Rights, then for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the Executive’s termination he will be obligated to pay only the portion of the full COBRA Rights cost of the coverage equal to an active employee’s share of premiums (if any) for coverage for the respective plan year and, to the extent required by any applicable nondiscrimination rules, the Company’s share of such premiums (the “Employer-Provided COBRA Premium”) shall be treated as taxable income to the Executive; and # payment on a pro-rated basis of any Annual Bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan to which the Executive was a participant as of the date of death or Total Disability. This Section 6(a) shall not terminate or otherwise interfere with any right to disability payments.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to [Section 7(a)(ii) or 7(b)(i)])], the Executive will # receive his then current base salary, or the base salary set forth in this Agreement, whichever is greater, for a severance period of four (4) months following the termination of the Agreement (the “Severance Period”), and # the Company will pay Executive's monthly COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) payments for a period of twelve (12) months following Executive's termination (the “COBRA Period”). It is the Executive's obligation, however, to submit the necessary documentation and paperwork required for COBRA coverage following his separation from employment.
