The reimbursements described herein shall be paid in monthly installments, commencing on the sixtieth (60th) day following the Termination Date, provided that the first such installment payment shall include any unpaid reimbursements that would have been made during the first sixty (60) days following the Termination Date.

Executive agrees to notify the Company in writing immediately if subsequent employment is accepted prior to the end of the eighteen (18) month period following the Termination Date and Executive agrees to repay to the Company any COBRA premium amount paid on Executive’s behalf during such period for any period of employment during which group health coverage is available through a subsequent employer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to restructure the foregoing COBRA premium payment arrangement in any manner necessary or appropriate to avoid fines, penalties or negative tax consequences to the Company or Executive (including, without limitation, to avoid any penalty imposed for violation of the nondiscrimination requirements under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act or the guidance issued thereunder), as determined by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.
Severance Benefits (i) If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to any of the Paragraphs set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, then the Executive (or his legal representative, as applicable) shall be entitled to receive the benefits which the Executive has accrued or earned or which have become payable under the Plans as of the Termination Date, but which have not yet been paid to the Executive. Payment of any such benefits shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Plans.
(ii) If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Paragraph (e) or (f) in Section 3.1 hereof, and if the Executive is eligible for and timely elects continuation coverage pursuant to Section 601 et seq. of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4980B of the Code or similar state continuation coverage law (together, “COBRA”) under any insured or self-insured medical, dental or vision plan maintained by the Company (other than any health and/or dependent care flexible spending account plan or employee assistance plan), then, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Termination Date, or until the Executive is no longer eligible for COBRA coverage under the particular plan, the Company will reimburse the Executive, on a taxable basis, for the cost of such COBRA coverage less the amount that the Executive would be required to contribute toward health coverage if he had remained an active employee of the Company. Such reimbursement payments will commence on the first payroll date of the month following the Termination Date and will be paid on the first payroll date of each subsequent month. The Executive shall not be entitled to reimbursement for the cost of any COBRA coverage elected separately by his current or former spouse or dependent child. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any such plan is fully insured, any such reimbursement requirement shall apply to the extent permitted by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Health Care Law”). Any portion of the continued or replacement welfare benefits coverage provided for under this Section 3.3(c)(ii) which constitutes deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year (except with respect to annual, lifetime or similar limits under arrangements providing for the reimbursement of medical expenses under Section 105(b) of the Code); (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense shall be made no later than the end of the year after the year in which such expense was incurred; and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
