Common use of Excess Parachute Payment Limitation Clause in Contracts

Excess Parachute Payment Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Employee in connection with a “change in control event” that would constitute a “parachute payment” (each within the meaning of Code Section 280G), whether payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with Live Nation (collectively, the “Total Payments”), shall be reduced to the least extent necessary, if any, so that no portion of the Total Payments shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the Net After-Tax Benefit (as defined below) received by the Employee as a result of such reduction will exceed the Net After-Tax Benefit that would have been received by the Employee if no such reduction was made. If excise taxes may apply to the Total Payments, the foregoing determination will be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) selected by the Employee and reasonably acceptable to Live Nation. The Employee will direct the Accounting Firm to submit any such determinations and detailed supporting calculations to both the Employee and Live Nation at least 15 days prior to the payment of any amount that would, absent the reduction contemplated by this Section 7(b), constitute an “excess parachute payment” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G).
