Common use of Welfare Benefit Continuation Clause in Contracts

Welfare Benefit Continuation. If Executive’s employment is terminated by Company without Cause, and such employment termination qualifies as a Separation from Service, Executive shall be entitled to continue to receive life, disability, accident and group health and dental insurance benefits, at substantially the levels Executive was receiving immediately prior to Executive’s Separation from Service, for a period of time expiring upon the earlier of: (1) the end of the period of twelve (12) months following Executive’s Separation from Service, or (2) the day on which Executive becomes eligible to receive any substantially similar benefits under any plan or program of any other employer or source without being required to pay any premium with respect thereto. Company will satisfy the obligation to provide the health and dental insurance benefits pursuant to this Section 6(e) by either paying for or reimbursing Executive for the actual cost of COBRA coverage (and Executive shall cooperate with Company in all respects in securing and maintaining such benefits, including exercising all appropriate COBRA elections and complying with all terms and conditions of such coverage in a manner to minimize the cost). Similarly, Company will reimburse Executive for the cost of comparable coverage for all other insurance benefits that are not subject to the COBRA continuation rules. It will be Executive’s responsibility to procure such benefits and Company will promptly reimburse Executive for the premiums for such benefits in the specified amount upon Executive’s submission of an invoice or other acceptable proof of payment. Company’s obligation under this paragraph will cease with respect to a particular type of coverage when and if Executive becomes eligible to receive substantially similar coverage with a successor employer.
