The Health Care Benefit Payment shall be paid in monthly installments on the same schedule that the COBRA premiums would otherwise have been paid to the insurer, or would have been paid by the Executive for an individual policy, as applicable.  The Health Care Benefit Payment shall be equal to  the amount that the Company would have otherwise paid for COBRA insurance premiums (which amount shall be calculated based on the premium for the first month of coverage), or would have otherwise paid for the individual policy premium reimbursement, as applicable, and shall be paid until the expiration of the Continuation Period.”
    
 (b)  New Section 7.3.  A new Section 7.3 is hereby added to the Original Agreement that reads as follows:
  “7.3           The Severance Benefits are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A or comply with its requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted
accordingly.”

  (a)  Original Agreement.  The Original Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, shall continue in full force and effect after the date hereof.
  (b)  Whole Agreement.
