3. Repayment of Retention Bonus. In the event that the Termination Date occurs prior to the eighteen-month anniversary of the Commencement Date due to any reason other than (i) a termination by TruBridge without Cause or (ii) by the Employee’s death or Disability, then the Employee shall be required to repay to TruBridge an amount equal to two-thousand, two-hundred and twenty-two dollars ($2,222) multiplied by the number of months that is the difference between eighteen (18) months and the number of full months that the Employee was employed by TruBridge.

7. Other Benefits. The Retention Bonus is a special incentive payment to the Employee and shall not be considered in computing the amount of salary or compensation for purposes of determining any bonus, incentive, pension, retirement, death or other benefit under any other bonus, incentive pension, retirement, insurance or other TruBridge employee benefit plan, unless such plan or agreement expressly provides otherwise.
