The "Reduced Amount" shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Agreement Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2314, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder. All determinations required to be made under this Section 23 14 shall be made by the independent certified public accounting firm performing the year-end audit on the Company (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within thirty (30) days after the termination datedate or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. The Company and Executive shall cooperate with each other and the Accounting Firm and will provide necessary information so that the Accounting Firm may make all such determinations. All such determinations by the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon the Company and Executive. Executive shall determine which of the Agreement Payments (or, at the election of Executive, other payments) shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 14, provided that, if Executive does not make such determination within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the calculations made by the Accounting Firm, the Company shall elect which of the Agreement Payments shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 14 and shall notify Executive promptly of such election. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations promulgated thereunder at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Agreement Payments will be made by the Company which should not have been made ("Overpayment") or that additional Agreement Payments will not be made by the Company which could have been made ("Underpayment"), in each case, consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm or a court of competent jurisdiction (in a final judgment as to which the time for appeal has lapsed or no appeal is available) determines at any time that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to Executive which Executive shall repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable short-term Federal rate provided for in Section 1274(d)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, compounded semi-annually; provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by Executive to the Company (or if paid by Executive to the Company, such payment shall be returned to Executive) if and to the extent such payment would not reduce the amount which is subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. In the event that the Accounting Firm or a court of competent jurisdiction (in a final judgment as to which the time for appeal has lapsed or no appeal is available) determines at any time that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive together with interest at the applicable short-term Federal rate provided for in Section 1274(d)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, compounded semi-annually.
