Pursuant to the Severance and CIC Agreements, if the covered executive is subject to a termination without cause or resigns for good reason, in each case within the period commencing 3 months prior to and ending 12 months after a change in control (such period, the "Change in Control Period"), then subject to the executive's execution of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and parties affiliated with it, as well as the satisfaction of certain other customary conditions, the executive shall be eligible to receive the following severance benefits: (1) 12 months of continued base salary; (2) a lump-sum payment equal to the executive's annual target bonus; (3) reimbursed or continued health benefits for a period of up to 12 months (or a cash payment in lieu thereof); and (4) the time-based vesting conditions applicable to all then-outstanding equity awards will be fully accelerated and the performance-based vesting conditions applicable to any such equity awards will be deemed achieved at the greater of either the target level of achievement or the actual level of achievement.
In the event one of the covered executives is subject to a termination without cause or resigns for good reason outside of the Change in Control Period, then, subject to the executive's execution of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and parties affiliated with it, as well as the satisfaction of certain other customary conditions, the executive shall be eligible to receive 9 months (or, in the case of our Chief Financial Officer, 12 months) of continued base salary and reimbursed or continued health benefits for a period of up to 9 months (or in case of our Chief Financial Officer, 12 months), or a cash payment in lieu thereof.
