However, in no event may payment premiums (under COBRA or otherwise) continue beyond December 31 of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive has a Separation from Service. If Executive is eligible for COBRA, then the section below regarding “COBRA” will apply. “COBRA Premiums” for purposes of this Agreement are the COBRA premiums that Executive would have to pay to continue for a certain period of time, the medical, dental, and/or vision coverage that Executive had immediately prior to terminating employment.

Executive and his eligible dependents may then be eligible to elect temporary continuation coverage under Sun’s group health plan in accordance with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”).

A partial year of service will be treated as a full year of service. Condit...
