If you die while employed by the Company, the Company will continue to pay an amount equal to your then current Base Salary to your beneficiary designated in writing to the Company prior to your death (or to your estate, if you fail to make such designation) for six months after your death, with such payments to be made on the same periodic dates as salary payments would have been made to you had you not died. If a timely election for COBRA coverage is made, for twelve (12) months following your death your qualified dependents will receive benefits under the Company’s group health and dental plans at the same rates as immediately prior to your death, and the Company will continue to pay its portion of such health and dental premiums.
