Gross-Up Payments If all or any portion of any payment or benefit that the Employee is entitled to receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement (a "Payment") constitutes an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and as such is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or to any similar Federal, state or local tax or assessment (the "Excise Tax"), the Company or its successors or assigns shall pay to the Employee an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment") with respect to such Payment. The amount of the Gross-Up Payment shall be sufficient that, after paying (a) any Excise Tax on the Payment, (b) any Federal, state or local income or employment taxes and Excise Tax on the Gross-Up Payment, and (c) any interest and penalties imposed in respect of the Excise Tax, the Employee shall retain an amount equal to the full amount of the Payment. For the purpose of determining the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, the Employee shall be deemed to pay Federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate applicable in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate applicable in the state and locality where the Employee resides on the date the Gross-Up Payment is made, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income taxes that could be obtained from deducting such state and local taxes. The Gross-Up Payment with respect to any Payment shall be paid to the Employee within ten (10) days after the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority issues a notice stating that an Excise Tax is due with respect to the Payment, unless the Company undertakes to challenge the taxing authority on the applicability of such Excise Tax and indemnifies the Employee for (a) any amounts ultimately determined to be payable, including the Excise Tax and any related interest and penalties, (b) all expenses (including attorneys' and experts' fees) reasonably incurred by the Employee in connection with such challenge, as such expenses are incurred, and (c) all amounts that the Employee is required to pay to the taxing authorities during the pendency of such challenge (such amounts to be repaid by the Employee to the Company if they are ultimately refunded to the Employee by the taxing authority).
Gross-Up Payment Payments under Section C.1. and Section C.2. of this Exhibit shall be made without regard to whether the deductibility of such payments (or any other payments or benefits to or for the benefit of Executive) would be limited or precluded by Section 280G of the Code (“Section 280G”) and without regard to whether such payments (or any other payments or benefits) would subject Executive to the federal excise tax levied on certain “excess parachute payments” under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”). If any portion of the payments or benefits to or for the benefit of Executive (including, but not limited to, payments and benefits under this Agreement but determined without regard to this paragraph) constitutes an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G (the aggregate of such payments being hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Parachute Payments”), the Company shall promptly pay to Executive an additional amount (the “gross-up payment”) that after reduction for all taxes (including but not limited to the Excise Tax) with respect to such gross-up payment equals the Excise Tax with respect to the Excess Parachute Payments; provided, that to the extent any gross-up payment would be considered “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the manner and time of payment, and the provisions of this Section C.3, shall be adjusted to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary) to comply with the requirements of Section 409A with respect to such payment so that the payment does not give rise to the interest or additional tax amounts described at Section 409A(a)(1)(B) or Section 409A(b)(4) of the Code (the “Section 409A penalties”); and further provided, that if, notwithstanding the immediately preceding proviso, the gross-up payment cannot be made to conform to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the amount of the gross-up payment shall be determined without regard to any gross-up for the Section 409A penalties. The determination as to whether Executive’s payments and benefits include Excess Parachute Payments and, if so, the amount of such payments, the amount of any Excise Tax owed with respect thereto, and the amount of any gross-up payment shall be made at the Company’s expense by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or by such other certified public accounting firm as the Committee may designate prior to a Change of Control (the “accounting firm”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Internal Revenue Service shall assert an Excise Tax liability that is higher than the Excise Tax (if any) determined by the accounting firm, the Company shall promptly augment the gross-up payment to address such higher Excise Tax liability.
Up-Front Payment Connetics shall issue to Genentech upon the Original Closing Date (as defined in the Stock Agreement) shares of Connetics Common Stock (“Original Issuance Shares” as defined in the Stock Agreement) with a fair market value equal to two million dollars ($2,000,000), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Agreement. If, on the Second Closing Date (as defined in the Stock Agreement), the aggregate market value of the Original Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price (as defined in the Stock Agreement)) is less than four million dollars ($4,000,000), Connetics shall issue to Genentech upon the Second Closing Date the number of additional shares of Connetics Common Stock (the “Second Issuance Shares,” as defined in the Stock Agreement) equal to the lesser of: (i) the number of shares necessary to increase the aggregate market value of the Original Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price) plus the Second Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price) to four million dollars ($4,000,000) or (ii) the number of shares necessary to increase the aggregate number of the Company’s shares of Common Stock held by Genentech (exclusive of any shares that Genentech has purchased from parties other than the Company) to 9.9% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on the third trading day before the Second Closing Date, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Stock Agreement. In lieu of all or any portion of the Second Issuance Shares that the Company is obligated to issue to Genentech on the Second Closing Date, the Company may elect to pay Genentech the cash value of such Second Issuance Shares (based on the Second Issuance Price). The Original Closing and the Second Closing of the stock issuances shall take place as described in the Stock Agreement. In the event that Connetics does not issue to Genentech all of the Second Issuance Shares or the cash value of the Second Issuance Shares, Genentech may, in addition to other remedies available to it by law or in equity, immediately terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted to Connetics hereunder. Such termination by Genentech of the Agreement and the licenses hereunder does not discharge Connetics’ obligation to issue all of the Second Issuance Shares or to pay to Genentech the cash value of the Second Issuance Shares. The up-front payment shall not be creditable against any royalty payments owed by Connetics under Sections 8.3 and 8.4 below.
Termination Payments In the event of termination of the Executive’s employment during the Employment Period, all compensation and benefits set forth in this Agreement shall terminate except as specifically provided in this Section 8.
Upfront Payments Within ten (10) days of the Effective Date, Celgene shall pay Acceleron Twenty-Five Million U.S. Dollars ($25,000,000) as an upfront, non-creditable, nonrefundable fee, relating to the license grants set forth in Article 4.
Tax Gross-Up Payment If it shall be determined that any payment to Executive pursuant to this Agreement or any other payment or benefit from the Employer or its affiliates would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then Executive shall receive a gross-up payment pursuant to Exhibit A attached hereto.
Compensation Payable If the Servicer shall resign or be terminated, the Servicer shall continue to be entitled to all accrued and unpaid compensation payable to the Servicer through the date of such termination as specified in Section 4.09 of this Agreement.
Net Payments All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payment (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or gross income or gross receipts of any Bank (other than withholding taxes or taxes in lieu of withholding taxes) pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the principal office or lending office of such Bank is located or in which such Bank is organized or in which such Bank is doing business through a branch or office from which such jurisdiction treats a Loan as having been made) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, "Taxes"). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due hereunder or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. The Borrower shall also reimburse each Bank, upon its written request, which request shall show the basis for calculation of such reimbursement, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of such Bank pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which its principal office or lending office is located or in which such Bank is organized or in which such Bank is doing business through a branch or office from which such jurisdiction treats a Loan as having been made as it shall determine are payable by it in respect of amounts paid to or on behalf of such Bank pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Borrower will furnish to the applicable Bank within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of any tax receipts available to the Borrower evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless each Bank, and reimburse each Bank upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Bank.
Parachute Payments (a) If any payment or benefit Executive would receive pursuant to a Change of Control from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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 reduced 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 notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the following order unless Executive elects in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the date on which the event that triggers the Payment occurs): reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive’s stock awards unless Executive elects in writing a different order for cancellation.
Settlement Payments On the first Business Day of each month ("Interest Settlement Date"), Collateral Agent will advise each Lender by telephone, fax or telecopy of the amount of such Lender's share of interest and fees on each of the Loans as of the end of the last day of the immediately preceding month. Provided that such Lender has made all payments required to be made by it under this Agreement, Collateral Agent will pay to such Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender's account (as specified by such Lender on the signature page of this Agreement or the applicable Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, as amended by such Lender from time to time after the date hereof or in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance Agreement) not later than 3:00 p.m. Chicago time on the next Business Day following the Interest Settlement Date, such Lender's share of interest and fees on each of the Loans. Such Lender's share of interest on each Loan will be calculated for that Loan by adding together the Daily Interest Amounts for each calendar day of the prior month for that Loan and multiplying the total thereof by the Interest Ratio for that Loan. Such Lender's share of the Unused Line Fee described in subsection 2.3(A) shall be an amount equal to (a)(i) such Lender's average Revolving Loan Commitment during such month, less (ii) the sum of (x) such Lender's average Daily Loan Balance of the Revolving Loans, plus (y) such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the average daily aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Reserve, in each case for the preceding month, multiplied by (b) the percentage required by subsection 2.3(A). Such Lender's share of all other fees paid to Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lenders hereunder shall be paid and calculated based on such Lender's Commitment with respect to the Loans on which such fees are associated. To the extent Collateral Agent does not receive the total amount of any fee owing by Borrowers under this Agreement, each amount payable by Collateral Agent to a Lender under this subsection 9.8(A)(4) with respect to such fee shall be reduced on a pro rata basis. The Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the aggregate fee payments received by such Lenders pursuant to this subsection 9.8(A)(4) exceed the total amount of fees pursuant to subsection 2.3.
