Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the termination described in this Section 5(a) occurs within 90 calendar days prior to, or within 2 years following, a Change in Control (as defined in the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”)), then, in addition to the amounts described in the first sentence of this Section 5(a)(ii): (A) the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Executive, in lieu of any Pro-Rated Annual Incentive under Section 5(a)(iv), a lump sum payment equal to Executive’s Target STI under the STIP for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs (without pro-ration), payable on the first regular payroll date occurring after the Release required by Section 6 becomes effective and irrevocable in accordance with its terms; and (B) to the extent that the same treatment is not otherwise provided under the Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreements, each of Executive’s then outstanding equity incentive awards shall become vested in full (without proration), with any specified performance objectives with respect to such outstanding awards deemed to be satisfied at the “target” level.

(iv) Subject to Section 6 hereof, if and only if Executive’s Date of Termination occurs at least three (3) full calendar months after the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year, and except as otherwise provided in Section 5(a)(ii), Executive will be eligible to receive an annual incentive under the STIP for the fiscal year during which the Date of Termination occurs, determined as if Executive had remained employed for the entire year (and any additional period of time necessary to be eligible to receive the annual incentive for the year), based on actual Company performance during the entire fiscal year and without regard to any discretionary adjustments that have the effect of reducing the amount of the annual incentive (other than discretionary adjustments applicable to all senior executives who did not terminate employment), and assuming that any individual goals applicable to Executive were satisfied at the “target” level, pro-rated based on the number of days in the Company’s fiscal year through (and including) the Date of Termination (the “Pro-Rated Annual Incentive”). The Pro-Rated Annual Incentive shall be payable in a single lump sum at the same time that payments are made to other participants in the STIP for that fiscal year (pursuant to the terms of the STIP).
(v) Subject to Section 6 hereof, if Executive timely elects continued health and dental coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company will pay Executive’s full COBRA premiums to continue his coverage (including coverage for his eligible dependents, if applicable) (the “COBRA Premiums”) for the 12-month period commencing on the Date of Termination (the “COBRA Premium Period”). The COBRA Premium Period runs concurrently with the Severance Period. During the COBRA Premium Period, an amount equal to the applicable COBRA Premiums (or such other amounts as may be required by law) will be included in Executive’s income for tax purposes to the extent required by applicable law and the Company may withhold taxes from Executive’s other compensation for this purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes re-employed with another employer and is eligible to receive substantially equivalent health benefits under another employer-provided plan, then the Company’s payment obligations and Executive’s right to the subsidized premium payments as described in this Section 5(a)(v) shall cease.
(vi) To the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall pay or provide, or cause to be paid or provided, to Executive (or his estate) any other amounts, benefits or equity awards required to be paid or provided or which Executive is eligible to receive under any plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company, including any benefits to which Executive is entitled under Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Accrued Obligations"); and
