(i)the Company shall continue to pay Executive the Base Salary through the longer of (x) 12 months following such termination  date, or (y) the remaining Term of the Agreement up to a maximum of 18 months following such termination date (in either case, such period, the “Salary Continuation Period” and such payments, the “Cash Severance Payments” in either case), such amount to be payable in equal biweekly installments and the Company shall pay in cash to Executive (within 10 business days of each applicable monthly period) for each month between the date of termination and the end of the Salary Continuation Period an amount equal to the premiums charged by the Company to maintain COBRA benefits continuation coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents to the extent such coverage is then in place;

3.The Agreement is hereby amended by removing the existing sentence below in Section 1(d) of the Standard Terms and Conditions to the Employment Agreement and replacing it with the new language also set forth below:
