If Executive properly and timely elects to continue health and vision insurance benefits under COBRA following the Retirement Date, the Company will continue to pay the employer-paid portion of his COBRA premiums (i.e. at the same percentage and terms as paid by the Company as of the date of termination of employment) for continuation coverage for Executive (and, if they were covered as of the Retirement Date, for Executive’s spouse and any eligible dependents) through the Consulting Period; provided, however, the Company has the right to discontinue the payment of the premium and pay to the Executive a lump sum amount equal to the employer-paid portion of the current COBRA premium times the number of months remaining in the Consulting Period if the Company determines that continued payment of the employer-paid portion of the COBRA premiums is discriminatory under Sections 105(h) and 9815(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent such health and vision coverage is continued, the Executive shall pay Executive’s portion of any costs of continuation consistent with the Company’s past practices.
