Cut-Back. Payments shall be made without regard to whether the deductibility of such Payments (or any other payments) would be limited or precluded by Section 280G of the Code and without regard to whether such payments would subject the Employee to Excise Tax; provided, however, that if the Total After-Tax Payments (as defined below) would be increased by the limitation or elimination of any portion of the Payments, then the Payments will be reduced to the extent necessary to maximize the Total After-Tax Payments. In the event of any underpayment or overpayment under this Section 10 (as determined after the application of this Section 10(c)), the amount of such underpayment or overpayment will be immediately paid by the Company to Employee or refunded by Employee to the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Total After-Tax Payments” means the difference between (A) the sum of (i) the total of all “parachute payments” (as that term is defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) made to or for the benefit of Employee and (ii) the amount of any Gross-up Payment (whether made hereunder or otherwise), less (b) all applicable federal, state, and local payroll and other taxes and income taxes (including, without limitation, the Excise Tax described in Section 4999 of the Code) imposed on the parachute payments and Gross-Up Payment.
Cut-Back. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or distribution of any type to or for the Executive by the Company or any of its affiliates, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (including, without limitation, any accelerated vesting of stock options or restricted stock granted by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) (collectively, the "Total Payments") is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (which reference includes, for purposes of this Agreement, any similar successor provision to Section 4999), then the Total Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the maximum amount of the Total Payments (after reduction) shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than the amount which would cause the Total Payments to be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Executive shall have given prior written notice to the Company to effectuate a reduction in the Total Payments if such a reduction is required, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Total Payments by first reducing or eliminating any cash severance benefits, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of stock options, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of restricted stock, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Total Payments. The preceding provisions of this Section 6.1 shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive's rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation; provided, however, that if the Executive is a party to a written employment or other written agreement with the Company that contains express provisions for a so-called "gross-up" payment to the extent that excise taxes are imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the Section 280G and/or Section 4999 provisions of such employment or other agreement shall control.
Cut-Back. If the Retention Bonus, alone or in combination with any other payment or benefit payable or previously paid to Executive (collectively, “Payments”) would (i) constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (after a reduction for reasonable compensation for personal services rendered by Executive (or Executive refraining from the performance of services in compliance with a non-competition covenant)), and (ii) as such, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (such excise tax, together with any interest and penalties incurred in connection with such excise tax, collectively referred to herein as the “Excise Tax”), then Payments shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of the Payments will be one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of the Payments received by Executive shall be subject to the Excise Tax or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax position to Executive. In such event, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1 of the MTS Systems Corporation Executive Change in Control Severance Plan, as amended and restated (the “Executive CIC Severance Plan”), the reduction will occur in the following order: (x) reduction of cash payments; (y) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; and (z) reduction of other employee benefits. If acceleration of vesting of compensation from equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant unless Executive elects in writing a different order for cancellation.
Cut-Back. If, pursuant to Section 2.1, the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 2.1, and the Company shall include such information in the Demand Notice. The underwriter(s) will be selected by the Initiating Holders, subject only to the reasonable approval of the Company. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.4(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, if the managing underwriter(s), in good faith, advise(s) the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the proposed number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that otherwise would be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders affected by such change; provided that the number of Registrable Securities held by the Investors to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
Cut-Back. If, for any reason, the Commission (including an independent determination by the Company, in consultation with Company Counsel, based on existing written guidance or applicable rules of the Commission) or an underwriter participating in an underwritten primary offering conducted pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement requires that the number of Underlying Shares to be registered for resale pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement be reduced, then such reduction (the “Cut Back”) shall be allocated pro rata among the Purchasers whose shares have been included in the Resale Registration Statement and any other holders of Common Stock that have exercised their right to require the Company to register for resale such Common Stock on the Resale Registration Statement, until the reduction so required shall have been effected. At the discretion of the Company, the Cut Back may be effected first among one particular type of Underlying Shares (e.g., Warrant Shares first, and then Conversion Shares).
Cut-Back. In the event any Contractor shall fail to take delivery of its Participant Allocation of oil attributable to its Working Interest in Tract No. 1 and if there shall be a decision to cut back all or part of such Contractor’s said Participant Allocation as provided in Section 5.14 of the Unit Agreement, such Contractor shall nevertheless continue to pay its Contractor’s Percentage of all Unit Expense and taxes attributable to Tract No. 1 and all additional costs chargeable to such Contractor under this agreement, and such Contractor’s Net Profits Account shall be credited with the oil so cut back as if such oil had actually been delivered to such Contractor; provided that nothing herein shall affect any rights at law or in equity which such Contractor may have as against the City by virtue of the net benefit to the City under this agreement occasioned by the future production of such cut back oil. Any amount to which such Contractor is entitled by virtue of such rights, if any, shall be charged to such Contractor’s Net Profits Account. So long as such Contractor shall continue to carry out the obligations specified in this Section 9(g) during the period of such cut back, and shall otherwise discharge its obligations under this agreement and under the Unitization Agreements, such Contractor shall not be in default by virtue of its failure to take delivery of oil during such period.
Cut-Back. Notwithstanding anything else provided herein, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to cut back the amount of Forward Purchase Shares which the Purchaser may purchase hereunder at any time.
Cut-Back. In the event that, in connection with any exercise by any Holder of a Demand Registration, other Holders exercise Piggyback Registration rights as provided in Section 2.3, and following such exercise the Managing Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering notify the Company that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of shares which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the initiating Holder such that the initiating Holder is unable to sell at least 75% of the number of shares originally requested to be registered by it, such initiating Holder shall be entitled to an additional Demand Registration exercisable at such later time as such Holder may elect (an "Additional Demand Registration"). If such Additional Demand Registration is exercised and such initiating Holder is unable to sell in such offering, cumulatively with the number of shares sold in the first offering requested by it, at least 75% of the number of shares originally requested to be registered by it, such initiating Holder shall be entitled to successive Additional Demand Registrations until it has sold in all such Additional Demand Registrations, cumulatively with the first offering requested by it, at least 75% of the amount originally requested to be registered by it.
Cut-Back. In the event the Contractor shall fail to take delivery of its Participant Allocation of oil attributable to its Working Interest in the Contract Lands and if there shall be a decision to cut back all or part of the Contractor’s said Participant Allocation as provided in section 5.14 of the Unit Agreement, the Contractor shall nevertheless continue to pay all Unit Expense and taxes attributable to Tract No. 2 and all additional costs chargeable to the Contractor under this agreement, and the Contractor’s Net Profits Account shall be credited with the oil so cut back as if such oil had actually been delivered to the Contractor; provided that nothing herein shall affect any rights at law or in equity which the Contractor may have as against the State by virtue of the net benefit to the State under this agreement or under the Contractors’ Agreement occasioned by the future production of such cut back oil. Any amount to which the Contractor is entitled by virtue of such rights, if any, shall be charged to the Contractor’s Net Profits Account. So long as the Contractor shall continue to carry out the obligations specified in this section 7(g) during the period of such cut back, and shall otherwise discharge its obligations under this agreement and under the Unitization Agreements, the Contractor shall not be in default by virtue of its failure to take delivery of oil during such period. The foregoing provisions of this section 7(g) shall likewise be applicable in the event there shall be a cut back of all or any portion of the oil elected to be taken in kind by the State pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 hereof by reason of the failure of the State or its nominee to take all or any part of such oil; subject, however, to the additional provision that the Contractor’s Net Profits Account shall be charged with the value, computed in accordance with the provisions of section 7(b) hereof, of such oil so cut back as if such oil had actually been delivered to the State or its nominee.
Cut-Back. If, for any reason, the Commission (including an independent determination by the Company, in consultation with Company Counsel, based on existing written guidance or applicable rules of the Commission) or an underwriter participating in an underwritten primary offering conducted pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement requires that the number of shares to be registered for resale pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement be reduced, then such reduction (the “Cut Back”) shall be allocated pro rata among the parties whose shares have been included in the Resale Registration Statement, until the reduction so required shall have been effected.
