Health Care Continuation Coverage. To the extent provided by the federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws, and by the Company’s current group health insurance policies, you may be eligible to continue your group health insurance benefits at your own expense (after any period during which the Company is reimbursing for certain medical costs pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement) regardless of whether you sign this Agreement.

Health Care Continuation Coverage. To the extent provided by the federal COBRA law or, if applicable, state insurance laws (collectively, “COBRA”), and by the Company’s current group health insurance policies, you will be eligible to continue your group health insurance benefits at your own expense after the Separation Date. Later, you may be able to convert to an individual policy through the provider of the Company’s health insurance, if you wish. If you timely elect continued coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay your COBRA premiums (the “COBRA Premiums”) sufficient to maintain your group health insurance coverage in effect as of the Separation Date (including dependent coverage, if applicable) for a maximum period of fifteen (15) months following the Separation Date (e.g., through March 31, 2014) (the “COBRA Premiums Period”). If the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot pay the COBRA Premiums without a substantial risk of violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company instead shall pay to you, on the first day of each month, a cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA Premiums for that month (including premiums for you and your eligible dependents who have elected and remain enrolled in such COBRA coverage), subject to applicable tax withholdings (such amount, the “Special Cash Payment”), during the COBRA Premiums Period. You may, but are not obligated to, use such Special Cash Payment toward the cost of COBRA premiums. If, during the COBRA Premiums Period, you become eligible for group health insurance coverage through another employer or otherwise cease to be eligible for COBRA, the Company’s obligation to pay your COBRA Premiums (or Special Cash Payment) will terminate. You are required to immediately notify the Company in writing if you become eligible for coverage under a group health plan of another employer or if you otherwise cease to be eligible for COBRA.
