Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Company agrees to make severance payments as follows:

(i) Severance Payment. A lump sum payment (the “Severance Payment”) in
cash equal to one year’s Annual Base Salary at the then current rate in effect

payment of the entire COBRA premium during any applicable COBRA continuation period.

On a benefit by benefit basis, the Chairman may give written notice to the Company
of his decision to decline election of continuation coverage, and then the Company
