Medical and Dental Benefits If Executive’s employment is subject to a Termination, then to the extent that Executive or any of Executive’s dependents may be covered under the terms of any medical or dental plans of the Company (or an Affiliate) for active employees immediately prior to the Termination Date, then, provided Executive is eligible for and elects coverage under the health care continuation rules of COBRA, the Company shall provide Executive and those dependents with coverage equivalent to the coverage in effect immediately prior to the Termination. For a period of twelve (12) months (18 months for a Termination during a Covered Period), Executive shall be required to pay the same amount as Executive would pay if Executive continued in employment with the Company during such period and thereafter Executive shall be responsible for the full cost of such continued coverage; provided, however, that such coverage shall be provided only to the extent that it does not result in any additional tax or other penalty being imposed on the Company (or an Affiliate) or violate any nondiscrimination requirements then applicable with respect to the applicable plans. The coverages under this Section 4(e) may be procured directly by the Company (or an Affiliate, if appropriate) apart from, and outside of the terms of the respective plans, provided that Executive and Executive’s dependents comply with all of the terms of the substitute medical or dental plans, and provided, further, that the cost to the Company and its Affiliates shall not exceed the cost for continued COBRA coverage under the Company’s (or an Affiliate’s) plans, as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. In the event Executive or any of Executive’s dependents is or becomes eligible for coverage under the terms of any other medical and/or dental plan of a subsequent employer with plan benefits that are comparable to Company (or Affiliate) plan benefits, the Company’s and its Affiliates’ obligations under this Section 4(e) shall cease with respect to the eligible Executive and/or dependent. Executive and Executive’s dependents must notify the Company of any subsequent employment and provide information regarding medical and/or dental coverage available.
Counseling Services Counseling is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the per- sonalities of the counselor and client, and the particular problems you are experiencing. There are many different methods I may use to deal with problems you want to address. Counseling calls for an active effort on your part. It is most successful when you work on things we talk about during our sessions and in between sessions. Counseling can have benefits and risks. Since it often involves discussing unpleasant as- pects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustra- tion, loneliness, and helplessness. On the other hand, counseling has been shown to have many benefits. It often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant re- ductions in feelings of distress. Often, with counseling, people know themselves better and live happier, more fulfilling lives. There are no guarantees of what you will experience. COUNSELING SESSIONS Our first few sessions will involve an evaluation of your needs. During this time, we can both decide if I am the best person to provide the services you need in order to meet your treat- ment goals. I will offer my impressions of what our work will include and make suggestions for a treatment plan. Please evaluate this information and decide whether you feel comfortable work- ing with me. Counseling involves a large commitment of time, money, and energy, so be mindful about the therapist you choose. If you have questions about my procedures, we can discuss them at any time. If your doubts persist, you may consult with another mental health professional for a second opinion. If we work together, I will usually schedule one 50-minute session per week at a time we agree on, although sessions may be longer or more frequent. Once an appointment is sched- uled, you will be expected to pay for it unless you provide at least 24 hours advance notice of cancellation. Please note that insurance companies do not provide reimbursement for cancelled sessions. If possible, I will find another time to reschedule your appointment.
