The Company will also pay Mr. Spiegel, as severance, an amount in cash of $157,500 that is equivalent to six months of his base salary. In addition, the Company will pay up to six months of premiums on behalf of Mr. Spiegel to extend his health, dental and vision insurance under COBRA. The Company will accelerate the vesting of 103,292 unvested stock options and 781 unvested restricted stock units under Mr. Spiegel's previous awards, as well as extend the period he has to exercise a portion of the stock options for an additional nine months.
