or exceeds three times the average of the annual compensation payable to
Employee by the Company (or an Affiliate) and includable in Employee's gross
income for federal income tax purposes for the five (5) calendar years preceding

contrary in this Agreement. The Severance Benefits shall not be reduced if (i)
Employee shall have effectively waived his receipt or enjoyment of any such
payment or benefit which triggered the applicability of this Section 7.7 or (ii)

or as partially reduced, as the case may be) plus all other payments or benefits
which constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)
of the Code are reasonable compensation for the services actually rendered,
within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code and such payments are
deductible by the Company. The Base Amount shall include every type and form of
compensation includable in Employee's gross income in respect of his employment
by the Company (or an Affiliate), except to the extent otherwise provided in
temporary or final regulations promulgated under Section 280G(b) of the Code.
For purposes of this Section 7.7, a "change in ownership or control" shall have
the meaning set forth in Section 280G(b) of the Code and any temporary or final
regulations promulgated thereunder. The present value of any non-cash benefit or
any deferred cash payment shall be determined by the Company's independent
auditors in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code.

                  Employee shall have the right to request that the Company
obtain a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") as to whether any or
all payments or benefits determined by such tax counsel are, in the view of the
IRS, "parachute payments" under Section 280G. If a ruling is sought pursuant to
Employee's request, no Severance Benefits payable under this Agreement in excess
of the Section 280G limitations shall be made to Employee until after fifteen
(15) days from the date of such ruling, however, Severance Benefits shall
continue to be paid during the time up to the amount of that limitation. For
purposes of this Section 7.7, Employee and the Company shall agree to be bound
by the IRS's ruling as to whether payments constitute "parachute payments" under
Section 280G. If the IRS declines, for any reason, to provide the ruling
requested, the tax counsel's opinion provided with respect to what payments or
benefits constitute "parachute payments" shall control and the period during
which the Severance Benefits may be deferred shall be extended to a date fifteen
(15) days from the date of the IRS's notice indicating that no ruling would be
forthcoming.

                  In the event that Section 280G, or any successor statute is
repealed, this Section 7.7 shall cease to be effective on the effective date of
such repeal. The parties to this Agreement recognize that final regulations
under Section 280G of the Code may affect the amounts that may be paid under
this Agreement and agree that, upon issuance of such final regulations, this
Agreement may be modified as in good faith deemed necessary in light of the
provisions of such regulations to achieve the purposes of this Agreement, and
that consent to such modification shall not be unreasonably withheld.
