In consideration, and under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Albro will receive a separation benefit in the amount of $375,000; an additional lump sum separation benefit equal to $95,000; and life insurance and short-term and long-term disability benefits coverage for himself and his family for a period of one year following the Effective Date.
