Section, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code,
then Employee's severance benefits under Section 4(a)(i), as applicable, shall
be payable to the extent such payment, after taking into account the applicable
federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section
4999, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest
amount of severance benefits under Section 4(a)(i), notwithstanding that all or
