(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that no stock of the Company is readily tradable on an established securities market or otherwise (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) at the time of the Change in Control, the parties may elect to submit to a vote of shareholders for approval the portion of the Transaction Payments that exceeds three times the Executive’s “base amount” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) (the “Excess Parachute Payments”) in accordance with Treas.
