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 subject to the taxation under Section 4999 of the Code. For purposes of this Section 17, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. (b) All determinations to be made under this Section 17 shall be made, in writing, by the Corporation’s independent certified public accountant immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Accounting Firm”), which firm shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations in writing to both the Corporation and you within 10 days of the date of termination. Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Corporation and you. You shall in your sole discretion determine which and how much of the Agreement Payments shall be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 17, which determination shall be made by delivery of written notice to the Corporation within 10 days of your receipt of the determination of the Accounting Firm.

(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Agreement Payments, as the case may be, will have been made by the Corporation which should not have been made (“Overpayment”) or that additional Agreement Payments which have not been made by the Corporation could have been made (“Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. Within two (2) years after the Separation from Service, the Accounting Firm shall review the determination made by it pursuant to the preceding paragraph. In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to you which you shall repay to the Corporation together with interest at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code (the “Federal Rate”); provided, however, that no amount shall be payable by you to the Corporation if and to the extent such payment would not reduce the amount which is subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Code. In the event that the Accounting Firm determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Corporation to or for the benefit of you together with interest thereon at the Federal Rate. (d) All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in performing the determinations referred to in paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be borne solely by the Corporation. The Corporation agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Accounting Firm of and from any and all claims, damages and expenses of any nature resulting from or relating to its determinations pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above, except for claims, damages or expenses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Accounting Firm. (e) All payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with applicable laws and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
