Theparties acknowledge that calculations of applicable bonuses have historically been made within 90days following the conclusion of a fiscal year for which the bonus may be due or accrued, andpayment of the applicable bonus has been historically made within 10 business days following theBoard of Directors’ determination. Accordingly, the parties recognize and agree that the right toreceive any payment to which the Executive may be entitled under the terms of any applicable bonusarrangement or benefit, including any bonus-related portion of the Accrued Amount, or the Pro RataBonus, can only be established after the review and calculations of the applicable fiscal yearbonus entitlements are made by the Board of Directors (including any committee thereof). Once suchcalculations are made by the Board of Directors (including any committee thereof), the Executive’sright to receive the Pro Rata Bonus (or any applicable bonus-related portion of the Accrued Amount)shall be accrued and paid as promptly as practicable following a determination of the bonus by theBoard of Directors (or any committee thereof) in the event the Executive is entitled to be paidsuch bonus under the preceding provisions of Section 8(a)-(d) above. Notwithstanding theforegoing, if the Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause, or by the Executive forGood Reason, the Board of Directors (including any committee thereof) shall use its best efforts tomeet as promptly as practicable within 30 days following any notice of such termination by theCompany without Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, in order to make a good faithdetermination of the Pro Rata Bonus, and to pay such Pro Rata Bonus (if earned) within 30 days ofsuch determination by the Board of Directors (including any committee thereof).     **9. ****CONDITIONS**.

Nevertheless (and regardless of whether the General Release has been executed by theExecutive), upon any termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall be entitled to receiveany Accrued Amounts, payable after the date of termination in accordance with the Company’sapplicable plan, program, policy or payroll procedures.     **10. ****SECTION 4999 EXCISE TAX**.     (a) If any payments, rights or benefits (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement orany other plan, arrangement or agreement of Executive with the Company or any person affiliatedwith the Company) (the “Payments”) received or to be received by Executive will be subject to thetax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar tax that may hereafterbe imposed), then, except as set forth in Section 10(b) below, the Company shall pay to Executivean amount in addition to the Payments (the “Gross-Up Payment”) as calculated below. The Gross UpPayment shall be in an amount such that, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Payments and anyfederal, state and local income and employment tax and Excise Tax on the Gross Up Payment, butbefore deduction for any federal, state or local income and employment tax on the Payments, the netamount retained by the Executive shall be equal to the Payments.     (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the amount of Payments thatwill be subject to the Excise Tax does not exceed four times the “Base Amount” (as defined inSection 280G(d)(2) of the Code), then Executive’s taxable cash-based benefits under this Agreementwill first be reduced in the order selected by Executive, and then, if necessary, Executive’sequity-based compensation (based on the value of such equity-based compensation as a “parachutepayment” as defined in Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 280G of the Code and IRSrevenue rulings, revenue procedures and other official guidance) shall be reduced in the orderselected by Executive, and then any other Payments shall be reduced as reasonably determined by theCompany, to the extent necessary to avoid imposition of the Excise Tax. If Executive does notselect the amount to be reduced within the time prescribed by the Company, the reductions specifiedherein shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion from such compensation as it shalldetermine. Any amount so reduced shall be irrevocably forfeited and Executive shall have nofurther rights to receive it.     (c) The process for calculating the Excise Tax, determining the amount of any Gross-Up Paymentand other procedures relating to this Section 10 are set forth in Appendix B attached hereto. Forpurposes of making the determinations and calculations required herein, the Accounting Firm (asdefined in Appendix B) may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning theapplication of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code, provided that the Accounting Firm shall make suchdeterminations and calculations on the basis of “substantial authority”
