If the Company makes such a determination, then the Company shall pay Executive an additional severance benefit equal to the cost to the Company of the Subsidized Coverage (had such Subsidized coverage been provided) to assist Executive with the cost of COBRA or, if not available, to assist Executive with the cost of comparable coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents.
