The reduction required hereby shall be made by reducing the amount payable under Section 5(c) of this Agreement.

Any Determination by the Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial Determination by the Firm hereunder, or as a result of a subsequent Determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a judicial authority, it is possible that the Company should have made Gross-Up Payments (“Underpayment”), or that the Gross Up Payments will have been made by the Company which should not have been made (“Overpayment”). In either such event, the Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment or Overpayment that has occurred. In the case of the Underpayment, the amount of such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. In the case of an Overpayment, the Executive shall, at the direction and expense of the Company, take such steps as are reasonably necessary (including the filing of returns and claims for refund), follow reasonable instructions from, and procedures established by, the Company, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Bank to correct such Overpayment, including repayment of such Overpayment to the Bank.

In determining the Adjustment Amount, the independent accountants shall take into account any and all taxes (including any penalties and interest) paid by or for Executive or refunded to Executive or for Executive's benefit. As soon as practicable after the Adjustment Amount has been so determined, the Institution shall pay the Adjustment Amount to Executive. (j) The Institution (or its successors) shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless from any and all losses, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, reasonable accountant's fees, interest, fines and penalties of any kind) which Executive incurs as a result of any administrative or judicial review of Executive's liability under Section 4999 of the Code by the Internal Revenue Service or any comparable state agency through and including a final judicial determination or final administrative settlement of any dispute arising out of Executive's liability for the Section 4999 excise tax or otherwise relating to the classification for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of any payment or benefit in the nature of compensation made or provided to Executive by the Institution or any successor thereto. Executive shall promptly notify the Institution in writing whenever Executive receives notice of the commencement of any judicial or administrative proceeding, formal or informal, in which the federal tax treatment under Section 4999 of the Code of any amount paid or payable under this Agreement is being reviewed or is in dispute (including a notice of audit or other inquiry concerning the reporting of Executive's liability under Section 4999). The Institution (and its successors) may assume control at its expense over all legal and accounting matters pertaining to such federal or state tax treatment (except to the extent necessary or appropriate for Executive to resolve any such proceeding with respect to any matter unrelated to amounts paid or payable pursuant to this contract) and Executive shall cooperate fully with the Institution in any such proceeding. Executive shall not enter into any compromise or settlement or otherwise prejudice any rights the Institution (or its successors) may have in connection therewith without prior consent to the Institution (or its successors). In the event that the Institution (or any successor thereto) elects not to assume control over such matters, the Institution (or any successor thereto) shall promptly reimburse Executive for all expenses related thereto as and when incurred upon presentation of appropriate documentation relating thereto.
