Unless Employer and Executive agree otherwise in writing, any determination required under this Section 4(j) shall be made in writing in good faith by a mutually determined and qualified third party (the “Professional Service Firm”). Any reduction in payments and/or benefits required shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; and (2) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant for Executive’s equity awards.

Unless the Company and the Employee otherwise agree in writing, the determination of the Employee’s excise tax liability and the amount required to be paid under this Section 6 shall be made in writing in good faith by the accounting firm serving as the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Accountants”). The initial Excise Tax Gross-Up and Additional Gross-Up payments hereunder, if any, shall either be (x) paid to the Employee no later than ten (10) days prior to the due date for the payment of any excise tax, or (y) paid to the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of the Employee no later than the due date for the payment of any excise tax. In the event that the Excise Tax incurred by the Employee is determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be greater or lesser than the amount so determined by the Accountants, the Company and the Employee agree to promptly (but in no event later than the end of the calendar year in which the applicable taxes are paid to (or received from) the Internal Revenue Service) make such additional payment, including interest and any tax penalties, to the other party as the Accountants reasonably determine is appropriate. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on interpretations concerning the application of the Code for which there is a “substantial authority” tax reporting position.

The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6.
No Golden Parachute Payments The Company is prohibiting any golden parachute payment to you during any “CPP Covered Period”. A “CPP Covered Period” is any period during which (A) you are a senior executive officer and (B) Treasury holds an equity or debt position acquired from the Company in the CPP.
Golden Parachute (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment or benefit Executive would receive from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of 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 equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax; or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment. Any reduction made pursuant to this Section 6(a) shall be made in accordance with the following order of priority: (i) stock options whose exercise price exceeds the fair market value of the optioned stock (“Underwater Options”) (ii) Full Credit Payments (as defined below) that are payable in cash, (iii) non-cash Full Credit Payments that are taxable, (iv) non-cash Full Credit Payments that are not taxable, (v) Partial Credit Payments (as defined below) and (vi) non-cash employee welfare benefits. In each case, reductions shall be made in reverse chronological order such that the payment or benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering the excise tax will be the first payment or benefit to be reduced (with reductions made pro-rata in the event payments or benefits are owed at the same time). “
Golden Parachute Tax To the extent that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, Executive under any other plan or agreement of the Company or any of its affiliates (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Code or any successor provision thereto, or any similar tax imposed by state or local law, then Executive may, in his sole discretion, (except as provided herein below) waive the right to receive any payments or distributions (or a portion thereof) by the Company in the nature of compensation to or for Executive’s benefit if and to the extent necessary so that no Payment to be made or benefit to be provided to Executive shall be subject to the Excise Tax (such reduced amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Limited Payment Amount”), but only if such reduction results in a higher after-tax payment to Executive after taking into account the Excise Tax and any additional taxes (including federal, state and local income taxes, employment, social security and Medicare taxes and all other applicable taxes) Executive would pay if such Payments and benefits were not reduced. If so waived, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments provided under Section 8, to effect the provisions of this Section 9 based upon Section 9(b) below. The determination of the amount of Payments that would be required to be reduced to the Limited Payment Amount pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Limited Payment Amount shall be made, at the Company’s expense, by a reputable accounting firm selected by Executive and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to the Company and Executive within ten (10) days of the date of termination, if applicable, or such other time as specified by mutual agreement of the Company and Executive, and if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive with respect to the Payments, it shall furnish Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payments. The Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and Executive, absent manifest error. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 9(a), the Accounting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and rates, and rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code, and other applicable legal authority. In furtherance of the above, to the extent requested by Executive, the Company shall cooperate in good faith in valuing, and the Accounting Firm shall value, services to be provided by Executive (including Executive refraining from performing services pursuant to any covenant not to compete) before, on or after the date of the transaction which causes the application of Section 4999 of the Code, such that payments in respect of such services may be considered to be “reasonable compensation” within the meaning of the regulations under Section 4999 of the Code.
Golden Parachute Limitation Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent any amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Payments”) would be treated as an “excess parachute payment,” as that phrase is defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the Payments shall be either: (a) paid or allowed in full; or (b) reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income, employment and excise taxes (including, without limitation, the excise tax imposed upon the Executive under Section 4999 of the Code) results in the Executive’s receipt on an after tax basis of the greater amount of Payments. For purposes of this section, the “Reduced Amount” shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of all Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code or subjecting the Executive to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code. The Company may elect which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced and shall notify the Executive promptly of such election. Any determination required under this Section 3 will be made in writing by the Company’s legal counsel or independent public accountants immediately prior to a Change of Control or such other person or entity which the Company may select in its sole discretion (the “Firm”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 3, the Firm 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 Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company will bear all costs charged by the Firm in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 3.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Losses for breaches of the representations and warranties of the Seller and/or the Company to the extent based on facts and circumstances that constitute New Matters explicitly reflected in the Updated Disclosure Schedules, if any, unless and until the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ aggregate claims therefor exceed $250,000, at which time the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover Losses for all claims in excess of such amount subject to the other terms of this Article 10. For clarity, delivery of the Updated Disclosure Schedules shall have no effect other than as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.
