Performance-based Stock Awards shall become fully vested, and performance shall be determined based on the terms of the applicable grant agreement. (E) The Company shall provide the Welfare Continuance Benefit but for a period of thirty-six (36) months following the Date of Termination rather than twenty-four (24) months, provided that Executive’s continued participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of the Welfare Plans.
