(g) The execution of, and performance of the transactions contemplated in, this Agreement will not (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) (i) constitute an event under any Benefit Plan that will or may result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) result in the triggering or imposition of any restrictions or limitations on the right of the Company or Parent to cause any such Benefit Plan to be amended or terminated (or which would result in any materially adverse consequence for so doing). No payment or benefit that will or may be made by the Company, Parent, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates with respect to any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any Benefit Plan in connection with the Offer and the Merger will be characterized as an "excess parachute payment," within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. The parties hereby agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to limit the application of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code to the transactions contemplated hereby.
