Continued Healthcare Coverage

Continued Healthcare Coverage. The Company's reimbursement of Executive, or direct payment to the carrier, for the premium costs for Executive and, where applicable, his spouse and dependents, for a period of time following the date of Executive's Qualifying Termination (the Payment Period), effective with the cessation of coverage as a Company employee, under the same or a comparable Company group medical plan to the group medical plan that Executive was participating in as of the date of Executive's Qualifying Termination;... provided that if the same or comparable Company group medical plan is, at any time during such Payment Period, not available generally to senior officers of the Company, Executive shall receive reimbursement, or direct payment to the carrier, for the premium costs under a group medical plan that is available to such senior officers of the Company; provided, however, if there is no opportunity to be included in a comparable Company group medical plan for all or a portion of the Payment Period, Executive may elect coverage under the same provisions as the 2014 Global Expatriate Personnel medical, vision, and dental plan during the remainder of the Payment Period; provided, further, if at any time the Company determines that its payment of any such premiums on Executive's behalf or continued participation in any such plans would result in a violation of applicable law (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of paying premiums pursuant to this clause, the Company shall pay Executive on the last day of each remaining month of the Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premium for such month, subject to applicable tax withholding, such payments to be made without regard to Executive's payment of healthcare premiums.
