“(c) Severance Payment. For all purposes under this Agreement, upon the Executive becoming eligible for the Severance Payment as provided above, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum in cash equal to the sum of (i) 1.5 times the Executive's annual base salary at the time of (A) the Change in Control or (B) separation from service, whichever is higher, plus (ii) 1.5 times the Executive's target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control or separation from service occurs, whichever is higher, on the sixtieth day following the effective date of the Executive's separation from service (the “Payment Date”).”
