280G Modified Cap. (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the aggregate amount of the benefits and payments under this Agreement, and other payments and benefits which the Employee has the right to receive from the Company (including the value of any equity rights which become vested upon a Change of Control) (the “Total Payments”)) would constitute a “parachute payment” as defined in Code Section 280G(b)(2), the Employee shall receive the Total Payments unless the (a) after-tax amount that would be retained by the Employee (after taking into account all federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Employee and the amount of any excise taxes payable by the Employee under Code Section 4999 that would be payable by the Employee (the “Excise Taxes”)) if the Employee were to receive the Total Payments has a lesser aggregate value than (b) the after-tax amount that would be retained by the Employee (after taking into account all federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Employee) if the Employee were to receive the Total Payments reduced to the largest amount as would result in no portion of the Total Payments being subject to Excise Taxes (the “Reduced Payments”), in which case the Employee shall be entitled only to the Reduced Payments. (ii) The determination of whether Section 3(f) applies, and the calculation of the amount of the Reduced Payments, if applicable, shall be performed by an accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). Such reduction shall be accomplished by first reducing all cash payments in the order they would otherwise be paid, and then reducing any equity grant the vesting of which was accelerated by reason of a change of control (as defined in the applicable award agreements or plans), with equity grants subject to performance-based vesting reduced first, and then equity grants subject to time-based vesting reduced in the reverse order that they would otherwise have vested.

  • Section 280G Matters If the benefits described in Sections 1 and 2 herein, as applicable, (the "Severance Payment") would otherwise constitute a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and but for this Section would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), Executive shall either: (i) pay the Excise Tax, or (ii) have the benefits reduced to such lesser extent as would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5 will be made in writing by a national "Big Four" accounting firm selected by the Company or such other person or entity to which the parties mutually agree (the "Accountants"), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 5, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5. Any reduction in payments and/or benefits required by this Section 5 shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) reduction of vesting acceleration of equity awards; and (3) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant for Executive's equity awards.

  • Parachute Payment Limitation If any payment or benefit (including payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement) Executive would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this paragraph, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Company shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Payment are paid to Executive, which of the following two alternative forms of payment shall be paid to Executive: (A) payment in full of the entire amount of the Payment (a “Full Payment”), or (B) payment of only a part of the Payment so that Executive receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a “Reduced Payment”). A Full Payment shall be made in the event that the amount received by the Executive on a net after-tax basis is greater than what would be received by the Executive on a net after-tax basis if the Reduced Payment were made, otherwise a Reduced Payment shall be made. If a Reduced Payment is made, (i) the Payment shall be paid only to the extent permitted under the Reduced Payment alternative, and Executive shall have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Payment, and (ii) reduction in payments and/or benefits shall occur in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments; (B) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (C) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (D) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of compensation from Executive’s equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be canceled in the reverse order of the date of grant.

  • Superseding Adjustment If, at any time after any adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall have been made pursuant to Section 4(e) or Section 4(f) as the result of any issuance of warrants, other rights or Common Stock Equivalents, and (i) such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in such other Common Stock Equivalents, shall expire, and all or a portion of such warrants or other rights, or the right of conversion or exchange with respect to all or a portion of such other Common Stock Equivalents, as the case may be shall not have been exercised, or (ii) the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents, shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the occurrence of a specified date or event, then for each outstanding Warrant such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the Additional Shares of Common Stock which were deemed to have been issued by virtue of the computation made in connection with the adjustment so rescinded and annulled shall no longer be deemed to have been issued by virtue of such computation. Upon the occurrence of an event set forth in this Section 4(g) above, there shall be a recomputation made of the effect of such Common Stock Equivalents on the basis of: (i) treating the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock or other property, if any, theretofore actually issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of any such warrants or other rights or any such right of conversion or exchange, as having been issued on the date or dates of any such exercise and for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and (ii) treating any such Common Stock Equivalents which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such increase of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock or other property are issuable under such Common Stock Equivalents; whereupon a new adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable and the Warrant Price then in effect shall be made, which new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.

  • 280G Prior to the Closing Date, (a) the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to submit for approval by the Company Stockholders, in conformance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder (the “280G Stockholder Vote”), any payments that constitute or would reasonably be expected to constitute “parachute payments” with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 280G of the Code (each, a “Parachute Payment”) on behalf of each “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) and which are irrevocably waived by such individual under clause (b) hereof, (b) prior to the distribution of the 280G Stockholder Vote materials, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of the right to receive or retain any Parachute Payment (in the absence of the 280G Stockholder Vote) from each of the applicable “disqualified individuals” (as defined under Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) whose Parachute Payments would be subject to the 280G Stockholder Vote (the “280G Waivers”), and (c) prior to the distribution of the 280G Stockholder Vote materials and the 280G Waivers, the Company shall deliver to Parent complete copies of all disclosure and other related documents that will be provided to the Company Stockholders in connection with the 280G Stockholder Vote in a manner providing Parent with sufficient time to review and comment thereon, and the Company shall consider all reasonable comments of Parent in good faith. The parties acknowledge that, to the extent any arrangements entered into at the direction of Parent or between Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and a disqualified individual, on the other hand (“Parent Arrangements”) are Parachute Payments, Parent shall provide to the Company a written description of any Parent Arrangements and the value for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of such Parent Arrangements reasonably in advance of the Company’s request of the waivers under clause (b) above.
