Severance Benefits upon Involuntary Termination Prior to Change in Control and After the CIC Protection Period. Expires In the event of the Involuntary Termination of the Executive’s employment prior to a Change in Control or after the expiration of the CIC Protection Period (as defined in Section 6), the Company shall, upon the execution of the Release required in Section 12.5, pay to the Executive the following Pre-Change in Control Severance Payment in the following amounts and manner: 5.1. The total severance payment will be equal to the sum of (i) the Executive’s then current annual base salary plus (ii) the Executive’s then current annual target bonus; provided that if the Executive’s annual base salary or target bonus has been reduced during the sixty (60) day period prior to the Date of Termination, then for purposes of severance payment calculation the higher figure will be used. 5.2. The payment will be made as follows: (i) half in a lump sum payable at or within a reasonable period of time after the Date of Termination and subject to receipt of an executed Release that has not been revoked, and (ii) the remaining half in equal consecutive monthly installments starting six (6) months after the Date of Termination with a final installment of all remaining amounts to be paid on or before March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurred. The final installment will be equal to the total payment reduced by all the amounts previously paid (i.e., the lump sum payment and the sum of all the installment payments previously paid).
