Common use of Continued Health Benefits Clause in Contracts

Continued Health Benefits. Following a Qualifying Termination, (i) for the remainder of Executive’s life, in the case of Executive, and for the remainder of his spouse’s life, in the case of Executive’s spouse, the Company shall provide Executive and Executive’s spouse with health insurance coverage with substantially the same level of benefits as provided to Executive and his spouse immediately prior to such Qualifying Termination; provided, that if Executive and/or his spouse become eligible to participate in any government provided health care coverage, Executive and/or his spouse shall participate in such coverage to the extent reasonably practicable, and, in such case, the level of benefits provided under this subsection (b) shall be reduced to avoid duplication of benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the date Executive and/or his spouse participate in such government provided coverage, Executive and/or his spouse shall have the right to elect not to use such government provided coverage with respect to any procedure if Executive and/or his spouse reasonably believe, in the Executive’s and/or the spouse’s discretion, that the same quality of care can not be provided through use of such coverage as the quality of care available through the Company provided coverage. Benefits provided to Executive and his spouse under this subsection (b) shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that with respect to Executive’s spouse, until such time that Executive’s spouse participates in the government health care coverage described above, Executive and/or his spouse shall be responsible for payment to the Company of an amount equal to any “co-pay” applicable to spouses of other employees of the Company receiving the same level of benefits.
