equal to (i) accrued and unpaid annual base salary and vacation pay and
(ii) the annual target bonus (if any) prorated to take into account only the
portion of the year worked by Mr. Wilson;

• A payment within 60 days after Mr. Wilson's separation from service, as defined by the Code, equal to the sum of the cost that would be incurred by Mr. Wilson if Mr. Wilson elected continued health care coverage for Mr. Wilson and his spouse and other eligible dependents under Section 4980B of the Code and the regulations thereunder for a period of 12 months measured from the date of termination.

general release of claims in the form provided in the Employment Agreement. In
