amount equal to two hundred (200%) percent of Employee’s then current
annual salary, (ii) any earned but unpaid bonus payment,
(iii) reimbursement of the health and dental care continuation premiums for
Employee  incurred by Employee to effect continuation of health and

termination, any earned but unpaid bonus, and pay for any vacation time accrued
but not used to that date.

“COBRA” to continue participation in the Company’s group health and dental
plans, and subject to Section 4(a)(iii) above, benefits shall terminate in
