Highest Total Annual Cash Compensation definition
Highest Total Annual Cash Compensation means the highest aggregate amount of Base Salary received and cash bonus earned by the Executive in a given calendar year from the Employers (including any deferred amounts) during the most recent three calendar years immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs. The Enhanced Severance Payment shall be paid in two installments. The first payment consisting of 50% of the Enhanced Severance Payment will be paid in a lump sum thirty (30) days following the later of the Date of Termination or the expiration of the revocation period provided for in the general release to be executed by the Executive pursuant to Section 5(g) below, with the remaining 50% of the Enhanced Severance Payment to be paid in a lump sum within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Restricted Period as set forth in Section 7 hereof. In addition, the Executive shall receive continued medical and dental benefits as provided by the Employers from time to time for its employees, with the Employers paying 100% of the premiums for such coverage, for the period of time equal to the shorter of eighteen (18) months or the maximum period of COBRA continuation coverage provided under Section 4980B(f) of the Code (with such coverage to be treated as COBRA coverage). If the Employers’ payment of COBRA premiums on behalf of the Executive is taxable to the Executive, then the Employers will pay to the Executive an additional amount such that after payment by the Executive of all applicable local, state and federal income and payroll taxes imposed on him with respect to such additional amount, the Executive retains an amount equal to all applicable local, state and federal income and payroll taxes imposed upon him with respect to the payment of such COBRA premiums. Such payment shall be made on or before March 15th following the close of the calendar year in which the COBRA premiums were paid. Except as provided herein, the Enhanced Severance Payment shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any Base Salary or other compensation or benefits that would have been paid under Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(c) and 3(d) above in the absence of a termination of employment, and the Executive shall have no rights pursuant to this Agreement to any Base Salary or other benefits for any period after the applicable Date of Termination.
