Parachute Payment Limitation. If any payment or benefit (including payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement) Executive would receive in connection with a Change in Control 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 paragraph, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Company shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Payment are paid to Executive, which of the following two alternative forms of payment shall be paid to Executive: (A) payment in full of the entire amount of the Payment (a “Full Payment”), or (B) payment of only a part of the Payment so that Executive receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a “Reduced Payment”). A Full Payment shall be made in the event that the amount received by the Executive on a net after-tax basis is greater than what would be received by the Executive on a net after-tax basis if the Reduced Payment were made, otherwise a Reduced Payment shall be made. If a Reduced Payment is made, (i) the Payment shall be paid only to the extent permitted under the Reduced Payment alternative, and Executive shall have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Payment, and (ii) reduction in payments and/or benefits shall occur in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments; (B) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (C) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (D) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of compensation from Executive’s equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be canceled in the reverse order of the date of grant.
Parachute Payment Limitation. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, if Employee is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code), and any of the payments and benefits described herein, together with any other payments which Employee has the right to receive from the Company, would, in the aggregate, constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code), then such payments and benefits shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the aggregate present value of such payments and benefits received by Employee from the Company shall be $1.00 less than three times Employee’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) and so that no portion of such payments received by Employee shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax result for Employee (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any applicable income tax). The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits is necessary shall be made by the Board in its sole discretion and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on Employee; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be made in the manner that is most beneficial to Employee. If a reduced payment is made to Employee pursuant to clause (a) above and through error or otherwise that payment, when aggregated with other payments from the Company (or its affiliates) used in determining if a parachute payment exists, exceeds $1.00 less than three times Employee’s base amount, Employee shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made.
Parachute Payment Limitation. If any payment or benefit to Employee under this Agreement would be considered a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280(g)(b)(2) of the Code and if, after reduction for any applicable federal excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code ("Excise Tax") and federal income tax imposed by the Code, Employee's net proceeds of the amounts payable and the benefits provided under this Agreement would be less than the amount of Employee's net proceeds resulting from the payment of the Reduced Amount described below, after reduction for federal income taxes, then the amount payable and the benefits provided under this Agreement shall be limited to the Reduced Amount. The "Reduced Amount" shall be the largest amount that could be received by Employee under this Agreement such that no amount paid to Employee under this Agreement and any other agreement, contract or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into between Employee and the Company ("Other Agreements") and any formal or informal plan or other arrangement heretofore or hereafter adopted by the Company for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to Employee (including groups or classes or participants or beneficiaries of which Employee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for Employee ("Benefit Plan") would be subject to the Excise Tax. In the event that the amount payable to Employee shall be limited to the Reduced Amount, then Employee shall have the right, in Employee's sole discretion, to designate those payments or benefits under this Agreement, any other Agreements, and/or Benefit Plank, that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having the payment to Employee under this Agreement be subject to the Excise Tax.
Parachute Payment Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this agreement to the contrary, if any severance pay or benefits payable under this agreement (without the application of this Section 7), either alone or together with other payments, awards, benefits or distributions (or any acceleration of any payment, award, benefit or distribution) pursuant to any agreement, plan or arrangement with Xxxxxx or any of its affiliates (the "Total Payments"), would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder (the "Code")), then [the following shall occur:
Parachute Payment Limitation. If any payment or benefit (including payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement) Executive would receive in connection with a Change in Control 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 the Company shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Payment are paid to Executive, which of the following two alternative forms of payment shall be paid to Executive: (i) payment in full of the entire amount of the Payment (a “Full Payment”), or (ii) payment of only a part of the Payment so that Executive receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a “Reduced Payment”). A Full Payment shall be made in the event that the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the excess of (a) the Full Payment, over (b) the Reduced Payment, by (ii) the Reduced Payment, is greater than ten percent (10%). A Reduced Payment shall be made in the event that the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the excess of (a) the Full Payment, over (b) the Reduced Payment, by (ii) the Reduced Payment, is less than or equal to ten percent (10%). If a Reduced Payment is made, (i) the Payment shall be paid only to the extent permitted under the Reduced Payment alternative, and Executive shall have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Payment, and (ii) reduction in payments and/or benefits shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (4) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of compensation from Executive’s equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be canceled in the reverse order of the date of grant.
Parachute Payment Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the total of the Change in Control Payment and the Salary Continuation Payment, together with any other payments or benefits received from the Company or the Bank, will be an amount that would cause them to be a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Parachute Payment Amount”), then the sum of the Change in Control Payment and the Salary Continuation Payment shall be reduced so that the total amount thereof is $1 less than the Parachute Payment Amount.
Parachute Payment Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the severance payments under Section 5.02 of this Agreement, together with any other Parachute Payments made by the Company to the Executive, if any, are characterized as Excess Parachute Payments, then the following rules shall apply:
Parachute Payment Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if it shall be determined that any amount, right or benefit payable by the Company or any other person or entity to or for the Executive’s benefit in connection with the Change in Control, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and if it shall be determined that a reduction of the Payments to a present value that is one dollar less than the minimum present value that would result in the imposition of such excise tax would result in a larger after-tax benefit to Executive than if such reduction had not occurred, then the Payments shall be reduced so as to have a present value that is one dollar less than the minimum present value that would result in the imposition of such excise tax. If the foregoing should result in a reduction in the Payments, the reduction shall be applied first against all cash Payments and then, if necessary, against non-cash Payments in order to satisfy the requirements of this Section 5. All determinations concerning the application of this Section 5 shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm to be appointed by the Company. The determinations of the accounting firm shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto for all purposes. All fees and expenses of the accounting firm shall be paid by Company.
Parachute Payment Limitation. (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Executive is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code), and the severance benefits provided in Section 3, together with any other payments which the Executive has the right to receive, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code), the severance benefits provided hereunder that constitute a parachute payment shall be either (i) reduced (but not below zero) so that the aggregate present value of such payments received by the Executive from the Company will be one dollar ($1.00) less than three times the Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) and so that no portion of such payments received by the Executive shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or (ii) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax result for the Executive (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes).
Parachute Payment Limitation. Anything in this Agreement or the Equity Agreements to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that:
