Common use of Non-U.S. Taxes Clause in Contracts

Non-U.S. Taxes. If the Executive is subject to taxes outside the United States in connection with any compensatory payments made to the Executive for services performed under this Agreement, the Company will pay on the Executive’s behalf the costs of professional tax preparation in the applicable jurisdiction by a nationally recognized firm experienced in preparing personal income tax returns in the applicable non-U.S. jurisdiction and in the United States (the “Tax Professional”) selected by the Company and acceptable to the Executive (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) for each year during which the Executive is subject to such non-U.S. taxes. The Company will further pay the Executive an amount sufficient to leave the Executive in a net after-tax position equivalent to what the Executive would experience if the Executive were subject only to U.S. Federal, state and local income taxes and had not provided the services of the Tax Professional during any such year (an “Equalization Payment”). The Company will engage the Tax Professional at the Company’s cost to determine the amount of any Equalization Payment due to the Executive. Any Equalization Payment will be made as soon as reasonably promptly following such determination but in any event not later than the end of the year following the year in which the Executive pays the relevant taxes.
