Code Section 280G In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 3(b), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Employee’s benefits under Section 2 of this Agreement shall be either: (i) delivered in full, or (ii) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance and other benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, results in the receipt by the Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and the Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 3(b) shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Employee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 3(b), the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 3(b). The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 3(b).
Cafeteria Plan As of the Distribution Date, Seaport Entertainment or any of its Subsidiaries shall establish or provide a cafeteria plan qualifying under Section 125 of the Code (the “Seaport Entertainment Cafeteria Plan”) allowing for the payment of welfare plan premiums on a pre-tax basis by Transferring Employees. As of January 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Distribution Date occurs, Seaport Entertainment or any of its Subsidiaries shall amend the Seaport Entertainment Cafeteria Plan to also provide for health care and dependent care flexible spending reimbursement accounts thereunder in which Transferring Employees who meet the eligibility criteria thereof may be immediately eligible to participate. From the Distribution Date until the end of the calendar year in which the Distribution Date occurs, each Transferring Employee who participated in health care or dependent care flexible spending reimbursement accounts under HHH’s cafeteria plan (the “HHH Cafeteria Plan”) immediately prior to the Effective Time will be permitted to continue participation in such flexible spending reimbursement accounts, and applicable elections and payroll deductions that were in effect immediately before the Effective Time will continue, during the Transferring Employee’s continued employment with the Seaport Entertainment Group on and after the Effective Time, with the amount of such payroll deductions transferred to HHH pursuant to the HHH Cafeteria Plan. As soon as practicable following the claim submission deadline under the HHH Cafeteria Plan for claims incurred in the calendar year in which the Distribution Date occurred, the HHH Group shall determine the aggregate accumulated contributions to the flexible spending reimbursement accounts under the HHH Cafeteria Plan made during such year by the Transferring Employees less the aggregate reimbursement payouts made for such year from such accounts to such Transferring Employees (the “Net FSA Balance”). If the Net FSA Balance is positive, the HHH Group shall pay to the Seaport Entertainment Group an amount in cash equal to the Net FSA Balance. From the Distribution Date until the end of the calendar year in which the Distribution Date occurs, HHH shall be solely responsible for all claims for reimbursement from the flexible spending reimbursement accounts incurred by the Transferring Employees during the calendar year that includes the Distribution Date and submitted to the HHH Cafeteria Plan by the Transferring Employee no later than the claim submission deadline with respect to such calendar year, whether such claims are incurred prior to, on or after the Distribution Date, which claims shall be paid pursuant to and under the terms of the HHH Cafeteria Plan.
Eligible Costs II.14.1 Eligible costs of the action are costs actually incurred by a beneficiary, which meet the following criteria: – they are incurred during the duration of the action as specified in Article I.2.2 of the agreement, with the exception of costs relating to final reports and certificates on the action’s financial statements and underlying accounts; – they are connected with the subject of the agreement and they are indicated in the estimated overall budget of the action; – they are necessary for the implementation of the action which is the subject of the grant; – they are identifiable and verifiable, in particular being recorded in the accounting records of a beneficiary and determined according to the applicable accounting standards of the country where the beneficiary is established and according to the usual cost-accounting practices of the beneficiary; – they comply with the requirements of applicable tax and social legislation; – they are reasonable, justified, and comply with the requirements of sound financial management, in particular regarding economy and efficiency. The beneficiaries’ accounting and internal auditing procedures must permit direct reconciliation of the costs and revenue declared in respect of the action with the corresponding accounting statements and supporting documents. II.14.2 The eligible direct costs for the action are those costs which, with due regard for the conditions of eligibility set out in Article II.14.1, are identifiable as specific costs directly linked to the performance of the action and which can therefore be booked to it direct. In particular, the following direct costs are eligible provided that they satisfy the criteria set out in the previous paragraph: – the cost of staff assigned to the action, comprising actual salaries plus social security charges and other statutory costs included in the remuneration, provided that this does not exceed the average rates corresponding to the beneficiary’s usual policy on remuneration. The corresponding salary costs of personnel of national administrations are eligible to the extent that they relate to the cost of activities which the relevant public authority would not carry out if the project concerned were not undertaken; – travel and subsistence allowances for staff taking part in the action, provided that they are in line with the beneficiary’s usual practices on travel costs or do not exceed the scales approved annually by the Commission; – the purchase cost of equipment (new or second-hand), provided that it is written off in accordance with the tax and accounting rules applicable to the beneficiary and generally accepted for items of the same kind. Only the portion of the equipment's depreciation corresponding to the duration of the action and the rate of actual use for the purposes of the action may be taken into account by the Commission, except where the nature and/or the context of its use justifies different treatment by the Commission; – costs of consumables and supplies, provided that they are identifiable and assigned to the action; – costs entailed by other contracts awarded by a beneficiary for the purposes of carrying out the action, provided that the conditions laid down in Article II.9 are met; – costs arising directly from requirements imposed by the agreement (dissemination of information, specific evaluation of the action, audits, translations, reproduction, etc.), including the costs of any financial services (especially the cost of financial guarantees). Such costs may also include specific costs incurred by the co-ordinator for fulfilling his responsibilities in his capability of the body responsible for the overall management of the action and the co-ordination of the beneficiaries. II.14.3 The eligible indirect costs for the action are those costs which, with due regard for the conditions of eligibility described in Article II.14.1, are not identifiable as specific costs directly linked to performance of the action which can be booked to it direct, but which can be identified and justified by the co-ordinator or a co- beneficiary using their accounting system as having been incurred in connection with the eligible direct costs for the action. They may not include any eligible direct costs. By way of derogation from Article II.14.1, the indirect costs incurred in carrying out the action may be eligible for flat-rate funding fixed at not more than 7% of the total eligible direct costs. If provision is made in Article I.4.2 for flat-rate funding in respect of indirect costs, they need not be supported by accounting documents. II.14.4 The following costs shall not be considered eligible: • return on capital; • debt and debt service charges; • provisions for losses or potential future liabilities; • interest owed; • doubtful debts; • exchange losses; • VAT, unless the beneficiary can show that he is unable to recover it according to the applicable national legislation. VAT paid by public bodies is not an eligible cost; • costs declared by a beneficiary and covered by another action or work programme receiving a Union grant; • excessive or reckless expenditure. II.14.5 Contributions in kind shall not constitute eligible costs. However, the Commission can accept, if considered necessary or appropriate, that the co- financing of the action referred to in Article I.4.3 should be made up entirely or in part of contributions in kind. In this case, the value calculated for such contributions must not exceed: • the costs actually borne and duly supported by accounting documents of the third parties who made these contributions to the beneficiary free of charge but bear the corresponding costs; • the costs generally accepted on the market in question for the type of contribution concerned when no costs are borne. Contributions involving buildings shall not be covered by this possibility. In the case of co-financing in kind, a financial value shall be placed on the contributions and the same amount will be included in the costs of the action as ineligible costs and in receipts from the action as co-financing in kind. The beneficiaries shall undertake to obtain these contributions as provided for in the agreement. II.14.6 By way of derogation from paragraph 3, indirect costs shall not be eligible under a grant for an action awarded to a beneficiary who already receives an operating grant from the Commission during the period in question.
Code Section 409A (a) It is intended that any amounts payable under this Agreement and the Company’s and Executive’s exercise of authority or discretion hereunder shall comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the treasury regulations relating thereto so as not to subject Executive to the payment of interest and tax penalty which may be imposed under Section 409A. In furtherance of this interest, anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, no amounts shall be payable to Executive before such time as such payment fully complies with the provisions of Section 409A and, to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Section 409A after the date of this Agreement would result in Executive being subject to payment of interest and tax penalty under Section 409A, the parties agree to amend this Agreement in order to bring this Agreement into compliance with Section 409A. (b) With regard to any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A, (i) all such reimbursements shall be made within a commercially reasonable time after presentation of appropriate documentation but in no event later than the end of the year immediately following the year in which Executive incurs such reimbursement expenses, (ii) no such reimbursements or in-kind benefits will affect any other costs or expenses eligible for reimbursement, or any other in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other year and (iii) no such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to liquidation or exchange for another payment or benefit. (c) Without limiting the discretion of either the Company or the Executive to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for any reason (or no reason), solely for purposes of compliance with 409A a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (applying the 20% default post-separation limit thereunder)) as an employee and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination” or “termination of employment” shall mean separation from service as an employee and such payments shall thereupon be made at or following such separation from service as an employee as provided hereunder.
Parachute Payment If any payment or benefit the Executive would receive pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Payment”) would: (i) constitute a “Parachute Payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be equal to the largest portion of the Payment (including all of it) which, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), and the Excise Tax, if applicable, results in the Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payment, whether or not all or some portion of the Payment is subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting Parachute Payments is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless the Executive elects in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the effective date of the event that triggers the Payment): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Executive’s stock awards unless the Executive elects in writing a different order for cancellation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Executive may not elect the order in which the reduction in the Executive’s payments or benefits will occur if such election would cause any such amounts to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code such that the Executive would incur the additional twenty percent (20%) tax under Section 409A of the Code (the “409A Tax”). In addition, if a different order of reduction is required to avoid the 409A Tax, that order shall apply. The accounting firm then engaged by the Company for general audit purposes shall perform the foregoing calculations. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Executive and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which the Executive’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the Executive or the Company) or such other time as requested by the Executive or the Company. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Executive and the Company with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Executive and the Company.
