Pursuant to the Amendment, in the event that the Company terminates Mr. Langston without Cause (as such term is defined in the Amendment), Mr. Langston will receive (i) severance payments in equal monthly installments (less applicable withholding taxes) for a period of nine (9) months and (ii) if Mr. Langston elects continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA, and provided that he constitutes a qualified beneficiary under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Company will reimburse Mr. Langston for the same level of health coverage and benefits as in effect for Executive on the day immediately preceding the date of termination until the earlier of (A) nine (9) months following the date of Mr. Langston’s termination, or (B) the date upon which Executive and his eligible dependents become covered under similar plans.
