Certain Reduction of Payments by the Company. (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive, the Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise otherwise) (a "Payment"), ) would be nondeductible by the Company for Federal federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), then the aggregate present value of amounts payable or distributable to or for the benefit of Executive the Employee pursuant to this Agreement (such payments or distributions pursuant to this Agreement are hereinafter referred to as "Agreement Payments") shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Agreement Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Reduced Amount is zero and it is determined further that any Payment which is not an Agreement Payment would nevertheless be nondeductible by the Company for Federal federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present value of Payments Payments, which are not Agreement Payments Payments, shall also be reduced (but not below zero) to an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code. For purposes of this Section 1411, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. All determinations required to be made under this Section 11 shall be made by the Company's independent certified public accountant (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee within 15 business days of the Date of Termination. Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee. The Employee shall determine which and how much of the Agreement Payments (or, at the election of the Employee, other Payments) shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 11; provided, that if the Employee does not make such determination within ten business days of the receipt of the calculations made by the Accounting Firm, the Company shall elect which and how much of the Agreement Payments shall be elimi nated or reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 11 and shall notify the Employee promptly of such election. Within five business days thereafter, the Company shall pay to or distribute for the benefit of the Employee such amounts as are then due to the Employee under this Agreement and shall promptly pay to or distribute for the benefit of the Employee in the future such amounts as become due to the Employee under this Agreement. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Agreement Payments will have been made by the Company which should not have been made ("Overpayment") or that additional Agreement Payments which have not been made by the Company could have been made ("Underpayment"), in each case, consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Employee which the Employee shall repay to the Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(E)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by the Employee to the Company if and to the extent such payment would not reduce the amount which is subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Code. In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

For purposes of this Section 1416, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. Any amount which is not paid in the taxable year in which it was originally scheduled to be paid as a result of the postponement thereof pursuant hereto shall be payable in the next succeeding taxable year in which such payment will not result in the disallowance of a deduction pursuant to either Section 162(m) or 280G of the Code; provided, however, that all postponed payments shall be placed in a Rabbi trust or similar vehicle for the benefit of the Executive in such a way that the amounts so transferred are not taxable to such person or deductible by the Company until payment from such vehicle to the Executive is made.

The Company shall not pledge, hypothecate or othwerise encumber any amounts held in the trust or other similar vehicle for the benefit of the Executive hereunder.
