280G Parachute Payments. In the event that any payments or benefits (whether made or provided pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) provided to Executive constitute “parachute payments”’ within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (“Parachute Payments”), and will be subject to an excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, the Executive’s Parachute Payments will be reduced to an amount determined by the Company in good faith to be the maximum amount that may be provided to the Executive without resulting in any portion of such Parachute Payments being subject to such excise tax (the amount of such reduction, “Cutback Benefits”). The Parachute Payment reduction contemplated by the preceding sentence, if applicable, shall be implemented by determining the “Parachute Payment Ratio” (as defined below) for each Parachute Payment and then reducing the Parachute Payment in order beginning with the Parachute Payment with the highest Parachute Payment Ratio. For Parachute Payments with the same Parachute Payment Ratio, such Parachute Payments shall be reduced based on the time of payment of such Parachute Payments, with amounts having later payment dates being reduced first. For Parachute Payments with the same Parachute Payment Ratio and the same time of payment, such Parachute Payments shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (but not below zero) prior to reducing Parachute Payments with a lower Parachute Payment Ratio. For purposes hereof, the term “Parachute Payment Ratio” shall mean a fraction the numerator of which is the value of the applicable Parachute Payment for purposes of Section 280G of the Code and the denominator of which is the intrinsic value of such Parachute Payment.
