If, despite the use of commercially reasonable efforts, the Company and you are unable either to agree on any such restructuring or to restructure the payments or benefits due to you under this Agreement to eliminate such Excise Tax, the Company will reimburse you for the amount of such Excise Tax plus all federal, state and local taxes applicable to the Company’s payment of such Excise Taxes, including any additional taxes due under Section 4999 of the Code with respect to payments made pursuant to this provision.
