               “(B) In addition, payment, promptly after termination, of a lump sum amount equal to 75% of the Executive’s Average Annual Bonus times the number of months remaining in the Severance Payment Period divided by twelve (12); provided, however, that should the Executive’s termination of employment occur during the CEO Window Period, this payment shall equal a lump sum amount equal to 75% of the Executive’s Average Annual Bonus times the Enhanced Severance Multiple divided by twelve (12).”
