Certain Additional Payments by the Corporation. The Corporation agrees that:
Certain Additional Payments by the Corporation. (a) In the event it shall be determined that the severance benefits payable to Executive under this Agreement or any other payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive (whether payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any other plan, agreement or arrangement) (the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”). The Gross-Up Payment shall be in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and excise tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.
Certain Additional Payments by the Corporation. (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any Payment would be subject to the Excise Tax, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (the "Gross Up Payment") in an amount such that, after payment by the Executive of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), if it shall be determined that the Executive is entitled to the Gross-Up Payment, but that the Parachute Value of all Payments do not exceed 110% of the Safe Harbor Amount, then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to the Executive and the amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced so that the Parachute Value of all Payments, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount. The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing the payments under Section 4(a)(1)(B), unless an alternative method of reduction is elected by the Executive, and in any event shall be made in such a manner as to maximize the Value of all Payments actually made to the Executive. For purposes of reducing the Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, only amounts payable under this Agreement (and no other Payments) shall be reduced. If the reduction of the amount payable under this Agreement would not result in a reduction of the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, no amounts payable under the Agreement shall be reduced pursuant to this Section 7(a). The Corporation's obligation to make Gross-Up Payments under this Section 7 shall not be conditioned upon the Executive's termination of employment.
Certain Additional Payments by the Corporation. A. If it is determined (as hereafter provided) that any payment or distribution by the Corporation to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, including without limitation any stock option, stock appreciation right or similar right, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on or the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing (a "Payment"), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or to any similar tax imposed by state or local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then Executive will be entitled to receive an additional payment or payments (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that, after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.
Certain Additional Payments by the Corporation. (i) If it is determined (as hereafter provided) that any payment or distribution by the Corporation or Parent Corporation to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement of the Corporation or Parent Corporation, including without limitation any stock options or other equity award, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on or the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing (a “Payment”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be payable either (x) in full or (y) as to the maximum value of such lesser amount which would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax and Executive shall receive the greater, on an after-tax basis, of (x) or (y) above. The reduction of the amounts payable under this Agreement, if applicable, shall be made as follows: First, if the Payments include the value of acceleration in the time at which any Payment not subject to Section 409A of the Code is paid, a delay in the time of payment (but not a delay of vesting) of such Payment, provided that such delay shall apply to the aggregate amount of such Payments (and not on a Payment-by-Payment basis) and such aggregate amount shall be delayed only to the extent necessary to satisfy this Section 7(c)(i); Second, to the extent further reduction is required by this Section 7(c)(i), a reduction in the amount of Payments required to be paid or delivered, provided that the Executive shall be entitled to select among the forms of Payment that shall be reduced; and Third, to the extent further reduction is required by this Section 7(c)(i), if the Payments include the value of acceleration in the time at which any Payment vests, a cutback in the extent of such accelerated vesting, provided that such cutback shall apply to the aggregate amount of such Payments (and not on a Payment-by-Payment basis) and accelerated vesting of such aggregate amount shall be cut back only to the extent necessary to satisfy this Section 7(c)(i).
