Additional Company Covenants. TRMG will use commercially reasonable efforts to seek shareholder approval of the Payments (as herein defined) provided for in this Agreement in a manner intended to satisfy requirements of the “shareholder approval” exception to Section 280G of the Code so as to exempt the Payments from any Excise Tax (as herein defined), but only in the event that Executive first unconditionally waives his right to receive or retain such Payments. For purposes of this Section 20: (a) “Excise Tax” means the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such excise tax and (b) “Payment” means any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. The parties hereto agree to work in good faith in order to mitigate the potential impact of the Excise Tax on Executive, including entering into all acceptable non-competition agreements. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 20, in the event that TRMG determines (after consulting with an independent accounting or compensation consulting company) that any Payment would subject Executive to the Excise Tax, then the Payments will be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof is subject to the Excise Tax.
