I can't really find any sort of long winded language. Although the one I did see just talked about reducing the plan value to avoid the tax, if they also increase the contract in other ways I'd be all for that.
The company benefits by not having to pay a 40% tax and we benefit by getting the same value out of the contract in another way. But it would have to benefit everyone equally.
