Underpayments and Overpayments. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments not made by the Corporation should have been made (“Underpayments”). IN either event, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment or Overpayment that has occurred. In the case of an Underpayment, the amount of such Underpayment shall promptly be paid by the Corporation to or for the benefit of the Executive. In the case of an Overpayment, the Executive shall, at the direction and expense of the Corporation, take such steps as are reasonably necessary (including the filing of returns and claims for refund), follow reasonable instructions from, and procedures established by, the Corporation and otherwise reasonable cooperate with the Corporation to correct such Overpayment; provided, however, that (i) the Executive shall in no event be obligated to return to the Corporation an amount greater that the net after-tax portion of the Overpayment that the Executive has retained or has recovered as a refund from the applicable taxing authorities and (ii) this provision shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the intent of this Section 6, which is to make the Executive whole, on an after-tax basis, for the application of the Excise Tax, it being understood that the correction of an Overpayment may result in the Executive’s repaying to the Corporation an amount which is less than the Overpayment.
