the Base Termination Compensation, # severance pay equal to # 23 months of the Executive’s base salary, at the rate in effect at the effective time of termination, to be paid in equal installments over 23 months, plus # two times the Executive’s target bonus as provided in [Section 4(b)], to be paid in equal installments over 24 months, in each case on the Company’s normal payroll dates following the date of termination, except that the first installment of such payment shall be paid on the 60th day following the termination date and shall include all installments that would have been paid if the release of claims referred to in Section 3(i) had been effective at the date of termination and # the continuation of the medical, dental and vision insurance coverage for a period of 18 months at active employee rates (the "Benefit Continuation"). The Benefit Continuation shall be provided through # the Executive’s enrollment in the Company’s COBRA continuation coverage and # the reimbursement of (or the Company otherwise bearing) the premium cost under COBRA in excess of the active­ employee rate. Any payment of the Executive’s Base Salary after termination of his employment shall be made in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. Other than solely in connection with any equity interests of Parent held by the Executive as described in [Section 5] and provided in the Equity Documentation, there will be no additional amounts owing by the Company to the Executive from and after a termination of the Executive’s employment of the nature contemplated by this [clause (ii) of Section 3(f)]. Because of the current uncertainty surrounding health care coverage, in the event that the Benefit Continuation would subject the Executive or the Company to a material cost, tax or penalty, the parties agree to cooperate to provide the Executive with such benefits in a manner that does not trigger such tax, cost or penalty, to the maximum extent possible.

Except for amounts subject to [Section 3.3], the remaining Accrued Obligations shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum amount within sixty (60) days following the Executive’s date of termination.

Certain Cash Payments. The Executive will receive # a cash severance payment equal to 2.99 multiplied by the sum of # one year of Base Salary and # the Average Bonus plus # a lump sum cash payment equal to the total premiums the Executive would be required to pay for eighteen months of continuation coverage under the Company’s health benefit plans pursuant to COBRA, determined using the COBRA premium rate in effect for the level of coverage that the Executive had in place immediately prior to the Termination Date. Subject to [Sections 3.6 and 13]3] (including any mandatory six-month payment delay), these cash payments will be paid to the Executive on the 60th day following his Termination Date.
