(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any portion of the Termination Payment, Accrued Benefits or any other payment or benefit under this Agreement, or payments to and for the benefit of theExecutive under any other agreement or plan of the Company or any of its Affiliates, regardless of whether such payment or benefit was paid or provided for prior to the Covered Termination (herein all collectively referred to as the “TotalPayments”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment,” the Company shall pay Executive an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by Executive after deduction of any excise taximposed under Section 4999 of the Code, any interest charges or penalties in respect of the imposition of such excise tax (but not any federal, state or local income tax, or employment tax) on the Total Payments, and any federal, state andlocal income tax, employment tax, and excise tax upon the payment provided for by this Section 9(c), shall be equal to the Total Payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federalincome tax and employment taxes at the highest marginal rate of federal income and employment taxation in the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in thestate and locality of Executive’s domicile for income tax purposes on the date the Gross-Up Payment is made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that may be obtained from the deduction of such state and local taxes. The Companyshall pay the Gross-Up Payment: (1) if the Executive is terminated as described in Section 2, as soon as practicable after the Gross-Up Payment amount is determined, but no later than 2 1/2 months following the year in which the Change in Control of the Company occurs; (2) if the Executive is terminated as described in Section 8 and is a SpecifiedEmployee, on the first day of the seventh (7th) month 

 

12 

following the month in which the Executive’s Separation from Service occurs; or (3) otherwise, within ninety (90) days following theEmployee’s Separation from Service; provided that the Executive shall not have discretion to choose the tax year in which the Gross-Up Payment shall be made if the calendar year ends during such 90-day period. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is required to pay the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of theCode prior to the applicable payment date for the Gross-Up Payment describe hereinabove (such as, for instance, because other payments due to the Executive without regard to this Agreement cause the excise tax to be due), then the Company shallpromptly reimburse the Executive for the amount of excise taxes paid by the Executive under Section 4999 of the Code, plus an amount equal to the additional taxes imposed on the Executive due to the Company’s reimbursement of the excisetax and such additional taxes. In no event shall the payment described in this paragraph be paid to the Executive later than the end of the calendar year following the year in which the Executive remits such taxes. In such event, the Gross-UpPayment, if and when paid, shall be reduced by the payment previously made to the Executive under this paragraph. 

(ii) For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “excess parachute payment” and “parachute payments” shall have the meanings assigned to them in Section 280G of the Code and such “parachute payments” shallbe valued as provided therein. Present value for purposes of this Agreement shall be calculated in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code (or any successor provision). Promptly following a Covered Termination or notice by the Company tothe Executive of its belief that there is a payment or benefit due the Executive which will result in an excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G of the Code, the Executive and the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall obtainthe opinion (which need not be unqualified) of nationally recognized tax counsel (“National Tax Counsel”) selected by the Company’s independent auditors and reasonably acceptable to the Executive (which may be regular outside counselto the Company), which opinion sets forth (i) the amount of the Base Period Income; (ii) the amount and present value of Total Payments; (iii) the amount and present value of any excess parachute payments; and (iv) the amount ofany Gross-Up Payment. As used in this Agreement, the term “Base Period Income” means an amount equal to the Executive’s “annualized includible compensation for the base period” as defined in Section 280G(d)(1) of theCode. For purposes of such opinion, the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Company’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Section 280G(d)(3) and (4) of theCode (or any successor provisions), which determination shall be evidenced in a certificate of such auditors addressed to the Company and the Executive. The opinion of National Tax Counsel shall be addressed to the Company and the Executive andshall be binding upon the Company and the Executive. If such National Tax Counsel so requests in connection with the opinion required by this Section 9(c), the Executive and the Company shall obtain, at the Company’s expense, and theNational Tax Counsel may rely on, the advice of a firm of recognized executive compensation consultants as to the reasonableness of any item of compensation to be received by the Executive solely with respect to its status under Section 280G ofthe Code and the regulations thereunder. 

 

13 

(iii) In the event that upon any audit by the Internal Revenue Service,or by a state or local taxing authority, of the Total Payments or Gross-Up Payment, a change is finally determined to be required in the amount of taxes paid by Executive, appropriate adjustments shall be made under this Agreement such that the netamount which is payable to the Executive after taking into account the provisions of Section 4999 of the Code shall reflect the intent of the parties as expressed in this Section 9, in the manner determined by the National Tax Counsel. Ifthe Company owes the Executive an additional payment under this paragraph (iii), such payment shall be made to the Executive promptly following the date the Executive remits the taxes, or if earlier, the date the Internal Revenue Service assessessuch additional taxes, but no later than the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive remits the additional taxes. The Executive shall provide written notice to the Company and documentation substantiating the amount ofadditional taxes paid or assessed. 

(iv) The Company agrees to bear all costs associated with, and toindemnify and hold harmless, the National Tax Counsel of and from any and all claims, damages, and expenses resulting from or relating to its determinations pursuant to this Section 9(c), except for claims, damages or expenses resulting fromthe gross negligence or willful misconduct of such firm. 

(v) This Section 9(c) shall be amended tocomply with any amendment or successor provision to Sections 280G or 4999 of the Code. If such provisions are repealed without successor, then this Section 9(c) shall be cancelled without further effect. 

10. Death. 

(a) Except as provided in Section 10(b) hereof, in the event of a Covered Termination due to the Executive’s death, the Executive’s estate, heirs and/or beneficiaries (as determined by the Executive’s personalrepresentative) shall receive all the Executive’s Accrued Benefits through the Termination Date. 

(b) In the event theExecutive dies after a Notice of Termination is given (i) by the Company, other than by reason of disability, or (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive’s estate, heirs and beneficiaries shall be entitled to the benefitsdescribed in Section 10(a) hereof and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to such Termination Payment as the Executive would have been entitled to had the Executive lived, except that the mandatory six (6)-month payment delay thatwould apply if the Executive was a Specified Employee shall be disregarded. For purposes of this Section 10(b), the Termination Date shall be the earlier of thirty (30) days following the giving of the Notice of Termination or one dayprior to the end of the Employment Period. 

11. Retirement. If, during the Employment Period, the Executive and theCompany shall execute an agreement providing for the early retirement of the Executive from the Company, or the Executive shall otherwise give notice that he is voluntarily choosing to retire early from the Company, the Executive shall receiveAccrued Benefits through the Termination Date; provided, that, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive for Good
