Should a reduction in benefits be required to satisfy the benefit limit of this Section 6, then the salary continuation payments shall accordingly be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with such benefit limit. Should such benefit limit still be exceeded following such reduction, then the number of shares which would otherwise vest under the vesting-accelerated portion (if any) of each equity award (based on the amount of the parachute payment attributable to such equity award under Code Section 280G) shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.
