separated; or if the dependent child stops being eligible under the Plan as a dependent child.  This extension is only
               available if the second qualifying event would have caused the spouse or dependent child to lose coverage under
               the Plan had the first qualifying event not occurred.

               Are there other coverage options besides COBRA Continuation Coverage?

               Yes.  Instead of enrolling in COBRA continuation coverage, there may be other coverage options for you and your
               family through the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid, or other group health plan coverage options (such as a
               spouse’s plan) through what is called a “special enrollment period.”   Some of these options may cost less than
               COBRA continuation coverage.   You can learn more about many of these options at www.healthcare.gov.

               6  Leave of Absence

               An employee can request for a Leave of Absence (LOA)  with E3. An  LOA usually occurs when an employee is
               scheduled to be on leave for more than 2 consecutive weeks. To request an LOA, an employee must complete the
               Leave of Absence form and submit to E3 Human Resources.

               LOAs can include, but are not limited, to the following:
                   •   Family and Medical Leave
                   •   Military Leave
                   •   Personal Leave

               While an employee is on LOA, he/she will only be eligible for Medical, Dental and Vision benefits provided by E3.

               6.1   Family and Medical Leave (FMLA)
               Eligibility and Time Limits
               Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), E3 provides unpaid family and temporary medical leaves of absence
               to eligible employees.  E3 also complies with applicable state/local family and medical leave requirements.  For
               additional information, please contact Human Resources.

               You are eligible for FMLA leave:
