COBRA Reimbursement. The Company shall pay the premium payments for COBRA coverage in an amount equal to the Company-paid portion for such benefits as of immediately prior to the Separation Date for a period of up to the first twelve (12) full calendar months following the Separation Date, provided Employee timely elects and pays the employee’s portion for continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA. Employee agrees to provide notice to the Company within five (5) business days after accepting any other employment or alternate coverage. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide COBRA reimbursement benefits without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will instead provide the Employee a taxable payment in an amount equal to the Company-paid portion of the monthly COBRA premium to continue the Employee’s group health coverage in effect on the date of termination of employment (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage) and will commence in the month following the month of the Separation Date and continue for the period of months indicated in this paragraph.
