Common use of Alternate Form of Benefit Clause in Contracts

Alternate Form of Benefit. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 2, to the extent the Executive cannot, as a matter of law, or pursuant to the customs or policies of any insurance underwriter or the terms of any benefit plan, realize any benefit or advantage described above in this Section 2 (and especially Section 2.6), or if Invacare reasonably believes that providing the Executive with any such benefit or advantage would be economically disadvantageous because doing so would cause Invacare to lose tax or other benefits or would cause Executive to incur additional taxes or lose other benefits, Invacare shall notify the Executive and shall pay to the Executive an additional amount or provide a comparable benefit which shall, taking account of any federal, state and local income taxes incurred by the Executive in respect of such payments or benefits, place the Executive in the same, or substantially the same, position, on an after-tax basis, as though he had realized such benefit or advantage; provided, that the amount of any payment to the Executive pursuant to the preceding clause shall be calculated at Invacare’s cost and expense by the Accounting Firm, and its determination of such amount shall be final and binding upon both the Executive and Invacare, and the Executive and Invacare shall each provide the Accounting Firm with such information as it may reasonably request in order to calculate any such amount; provided further, that in no event shall any such additional amount or comparable benefit be provided to the Executive prior to or materially after the time the original payment or benefit would have been provided.
