Price Schedule, Payment Terms and Billing, and Price Adjustments (a) Price Schedule: Price Schedule under this Contract is set forth in Exhibit B.
Tax Considerations Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event any payments or benefits provided to the Executive hereunder upon a Change in Control are determined by the Company to be subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code", with all Code Section references used herein being deemed to include any regulations thereunder), or any similar federal or state excise tax, FICA tax, or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), the Company shall pay to the Executive at the time specified in Section 5.5 (b) or 5.7 above (whichever applies), an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment") such that after the payment by the Executive of all federal, state, or local income taxes, Excise Taxes, FICA tax, or other taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect thereto) imposed upon the receipt of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed on the severance payments and benefits provided herein.
(a) For purposes of determining whether any payments or benefits to the Executive hereunder will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax:
(i) all payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive in connection with a Change in Control or the termination of employment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or of any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company) shall be treated as "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company and acceptable to the Executive, such payments or benefits (in whole or in part) do not constitute parachute payments under Section 280G of the Code, or such excess parachute payments (in whole or in part) represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code;
(ii) the amount of the severance payments which shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the amount of excess parachute payments within the meaning of Sections 280G(b)(1) and (4) (after applying clause (a), above); and
(iii) the parachute value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by Company in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.
(b) If the Excise Tax is subsequently determined to be less than the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of termination of employment, the Executive shall repay to the Company, at the time the reduction in Excise Tax is finally determined, the portion of the Gross-Up Payment attributable to such reduction. If the Excise Tax is determined to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time of termination of employment, the Company shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment to the Executive in respect of such excess at the time the amount of such excess is finally determined. The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later that ten business days after the Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30 calendar day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:
(i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,
(ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,
(iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim, and
(iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including legal and accounting fees and additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax, FICA tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this section, the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct the Executive to pay the tax claimed and xxx for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and the Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and xxx for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. If any such claim referred to in this Section is made by the Internal Revenue Service and the Company does not request the Executive to contest the claim within the 30 calendar day period following notice of the claim, the Company shall pay to the Executive the amount of any Gross-Up Payment owed to the Executive, but not previously paid pursuant to Section 7.1(b), immediately upon the expiration of such 30 calendar day period. If any such claim is made by the Internal Revenue Service and the Company requests the Executive to contest such claim, but does not advance the amount of such claim to the Executive for purposes of such contest, the Company shall pay to the Executive the amount of any Gross-Up Payment owed to the Executive, but not previously paid under the provisions of Section 7.1(b), within 5 business days of a Final Determination of the liability of the Executive for such Excise Tax. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Final Determination" shall be deemed to occur with respect to a claim when (i) there is a decision, judgment, decree or other order by any court of competent jurisdiction, which decision, judgment, decree or other order has become final, i.e., all allowable appeals pursuant to this section have been exhausted by either party to the action, (ii) there is a closing agreement made under Section 7121 of the Code, or (iii) the time for instituting a claim for refund has expired, or if a claim was filed, the time for instituting suit with respect thereto has expired. If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to this section, the Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, the Executive shall (subject to the Company's complying with the requirements of this Section) promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by the Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to this Section, a determination is made by the Internal Revenue Service that the Executive is not entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify the Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 calendar days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.
Purchase Price and Terms of Payment The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Interests is SIXTY FIVE MILLION ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($65,150,000.00); provided, however, under certain circumstances, as set forth in Section 3(b) hereof, the Purchase Price is subject to be increased based upon the cost to defease all or a part of the Indebtedness.

Buyer shall be entitled to all interest accumulating on the Xxxxxxx Money, unless Seller is entitled to retain the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages pursuant to the terms of Section 14 below.

B. Upon Closing and subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) hereof, the Indebtedness shall not be discharged or released (whether by pay off or defeasance, as applicable), but shall remain outstanding after Closing and the Buyer shall assume such Indebtedness. The Indebtedness, and all documents executed in connection therewith, is listed on Schedule 6 attached hereto and made a part hereof (hereinafter, the “Loan Documents”).
C. Upon Closing, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be applied against the Purchase Price, and the balance of the Purchase Price (subject to the adjustments set forth in paragraph D below) shall be paid to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to written instructions from Seller. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant the provisions hereof and Buyer is not in default under this Agreement, then Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Xxxxxxx Money.
D. The amount of cash payable at Closing shall be equal to the amount of the Purchase Price less the amount of Indebtedness (principal and interest) actually assumed by Buyer at Closing (and not defeased) and for which the Companies are released from liability. Seller acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Exploration Indebtedness will have an outstanding principal balance of approximately $3,444,276.00 as of December 31, 2003, a fixed interest rate of 8.6251% and a maturity date of June 26, 2009; (b) the Exploration III Indebtedness will have an outstanding principal balance of approximately $3,057,761.00 as of December 31, 2003, a fixed interest rate of 8.75% and a maturity date of August 1, 2007; and (c) the Red Cedar Indebtedness will have an outstanding principal balance of approximately $4,104,082.00 as of December 31,2003, a fixed interest rate of 7.7% and a maturity date of November 1, 2007.
E. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, the Purchase Price shall also be increased at Closing by an amount equal to the total amount of all escrow amounts held by the holder or holders of all Loans assumed by Buyer at Closing, including, without limitation, escrows for taxes, insurance, leasing upfit costs and leasing commissions.
Additional Section 409A Provisions Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary—
(a) Any payment otherwise required to be made hereunder to Executive at any date as a result of the termination of Executive’s employment shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “Delay Period”). On the first business day following the expiration of the Delay Period, Executive shall be paid, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence, and any remaining payments not so delayed shall continue to be paid pursuant to the payment schedule set forth herein.
(b) Each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.
(c) To the extent that any right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by the Company no later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Executive, (ii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year; provided, that the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect.
(d) While the payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the implication of any penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code, in no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on Executive as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A of the Code).
