Mandatory Reduction of Payments in Certain Events (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (such benefits, payments or distributions are hereinafter referred to as “Payments”) would, if paid, be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then, prior to the making of any Payments to the Employee, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the net after-tax benefit to the Employee of the Payments after payment by the Employee of the Excise Tax, to (ii) the net after-tax benefit to the Employee if the Payments had been limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. If the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount calculated under (ii) above, then the Payments shall be limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax (the “Reduced Amount”). The reduction of the Payments due hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing cash Payments and then, to the extent necessary, reducing those Payments having the next highest ratio of Parachute Value to actual present value of such Payments as of the date of the change in control transaction, as determined by the Determination Firm (as defined in Section 13(b) below). For purposes of this Section 13, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 13, the “Parachute Value” of a Payment means the present value as of the date of the change in control transaction of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, as determined by the Determination Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment. (b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 13, including whether an Excise Tax would otherwise be imposed, whether the Payments shall be reduced, the amount of the Reduced Amount, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by an independent, nationally recognized accounting firm or compensation consulting firm mutually acceptable to the Company and the Employee (the “Determination Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Employee within 15 business days after the receipt of notice from the Employee that a Payment is due to be made, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Determination Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Determination Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Determination Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments which the Employee was entitled to, but did not receive pursuant to Section 13(a), could have been made without the imposition of the Excise Tax (“Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In such event, the Determination Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of the Employee but no later than March 15 of the year after the year in which the Underpayment is determined to exist, which is when the legally binding right to such Underpayment arises. (c) In the event that the provisions of Code Section 280G and 4999 or any successor provisions are repealed without succession, this Section 13 shall be of no further force or effect.
Termination Upon Certain Events 16 16.2 Procedures.................................................................................16
Payments Upon Certain Terminations (i) In the event of a termination of the Employee's employment Without Cause or a termination by the Employee of his employment for Good Reason, the Employer shall pay to the Employee (A) (1) the greater of (x) his Base Salary, if any, for the period from the Date of Termination through the last day of the Initial Term, provided that Employer may, at any time, pay to the Employee in a single lump sum an amount equal to the Base Salary remaining to be paid to the Employee as of the date of such lump sum payment and (y) an amount equal to one year's Base Salary, less (2) any amounts paid or to be paid to the Employee under the terms of any severance plan or program of Employer, if any, as in effect on the Date of Termination and (B) a Pro Rata Share of the Annual Bonus (as defined below). If the Employee's employment shall terminate and he is entitled to receive salary continuation payments under this Section 6(f)(i), and if the Employee obtains new employment, any salary continuation payments to which the Employee may be entitled pursuant to this Section 6(f)(i) shall be reduced or canceled to the extent that the Employee receives salary and other cash compensation from such employment. Any benefits payable to the Employee under any otherwise applicable plans, policies and practices of Employer shall not be limited by this provision. (ii) If the Employee's employment shall terminate upon his death or Disability or if Employer shall terminate the Employee's employment for Cause, Employer shall pay the Employee his full Base Salary through the Date of Termination, plus, in the case of termination upon the Employee's death or Disability, a Pro Rata Share of the Annual Bonus. Any benefits payable to or in respect of the Employee under any otherwise applicable plans, policies and practices of the Employer shall not be limited by this provision. (iii) For purposes of this Section 6, the "Pro Rata Share of the Annual Bonus" shall be calculated and paid as follows. If the Employee is terminated prior to July 1 of any year, the Pro Rata Share of the Annual Bonus (A) will be equal to the product of (1) the Annual Bonus, calculated assuming that 100% of the Operating Target is achieved in such year, and (2) a fraction equal to the number of full months in such year prior to the Date of Termination over 12, and (B) will be paid to the Employee within 30 days after the Date of Termination. If the Employee is terminated on or after July 1 of any year, the Pro Rata Share of the Annual Bonus (A) will be equal to the product of (1) the Annual Bonus, calculated based on the actual Operating Result for such year, and (2) a fraction equal to the number of full months in such year prior to the Date of Termination over 12, and (B) will be paid to the Employee within 90 days after the close of the year in respect of which the Pro Rata Share of the Annual Bonus is payable.
