This severance payment shall be made to the Employee in a single lump sum within 10 business days of the date of the Employee’s termination of employment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the independent accountants acting as auditors for the Company on the date of the Change of Control determine that such single payment, together with other compensation received by the Employee that is contingent on a Change of Control, would constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, the single payment to the Employee shall be reduced to the maximum amount which may be paid without such payments in the aggregate constituting “excess parachute payments.”
