contribution amounts, to be determined by the Board, to provide the Board with
such funds as shall be required from time to time to (i) obtain and maintain
long-term care insurance and benefits for participating employees, and (ii)
administer the long-term care insurance program, including providing case
management and cost containment programs. Contributions shall be deposited in
