Determination of Excise Tax Liability. The Company shall attempt to cause its accountants to make all of the determinations required to be made under Section 3.1, or, in the event the Company’s accountants will not perform such service, the Company may select another professional services firm to perform the calculations. The Company shall request that the accountants or firm provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive prior to the Change in Control if administratively feasible or subsequent to the Change in Control if events occur that result in parachute payments to the Executive at that time. For purposes of making the calculations required by Section 3.1, the accountants or firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith determinations concerning the application of the Code. The Company and the Executive shall furnish to the accountants or firm such information and documents as the accountants or firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 3.1. The Company shall bear all costs the accountants or firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by Section 3.1. Any such determination by the Company’s accountants or other firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive, and the Company shall have no liability to the Executive for the determinations of its accountants or other firm.
