Inthe event that the Accountants are also serving as the accountants or auditors for the individual,entity or group effecting the “change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation” or“change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation”, as defined inSection 280G of the Code, with respect to which the determination is being made, Executive shallappoint another nationally recognized
12

 
public accounting firm, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to make the determinationsrequired hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accountants hereunder).All fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne solely by the Company.               (iii) For the purposes of determining whether any of the Payments will be subject to theExcise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, such Payments shall be treated as “parachutepayments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess ofthe “base amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject tothe Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that, in the opinion of the Accountants, suchPayments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments” or representreasonable compensation for services actually rendered (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) ofthe Code) in excess of the “base amount,” or such “parachute payments” are otherwise not subject tosuch Excise Tax.

To the extent practicable, any Gross-Up Payment withrespect to any Payment shall be paid by the Company at the time Executive is entitled to receivethe Payment and in no event will any Gross-Up Payment be paid later than five days after thereceipt by Executive of the Accountant’s determination.               (v) Any determination by the Accountants shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. Asa result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initialdetermination by the Accountants hereunder, it is possible that the Gross-Up Payment made will havebeen an amount less than the Company should have paid pursuant to this Section 8(g) (the“Underpayment”). In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section8(g) and Executive is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Underpayment shall bepromptly paid by the Company to or for Executive’s benefit; and               (vi) Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal RevenueService that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment.Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable after Executive is informed in writing ofsuch claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which suchclaim is requested to be paid.

(vii) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(g), the Company shallcontrol all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursueor forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxingauthority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay thetax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executiveagrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a courtof initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine;provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund,the Company shall indemnify Executive for and hold Executive harmless from, on an after-tax basis,any Excise Tax or income or other taxes (including interest or penalties with respect thereto)imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to suchadvance (including as a result of any forgiveness by the Company of such advance); provided,further, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of taxes for thetaxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due islimited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shallbe limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder andExecutive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by theInternal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.               (viii) In any situation where under applicable law the Company has the power to indemnify (oradvance expenses to) Executive in respect of any judgments, fines, settlements, loss, cost orexpense (including attorneys’ fees) of any nature related to or arising out of Executive’sactivities as an agent, employee, officer or director of the Company or in any other capacity onbehalf of or at the request of the Company, the Company shall promptly on written request,indemnify (and advance expenses to) Executive to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,including but not limited to making such findings and determinations and taking any and all suchactions as the Company may, under applicable law, be permitted to have the discretion to take so asto effectuate such indemnification or advancement. Such agreement by the Company shall not bedeemed to impair any other obligation of the Company respecting Executive’s indemnificationotherwise arising out of this or any other agreement or promise of the Company or under anystatute.

(x) Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in thisSection 8(g) by seeking other employment or otherwise nor, except as provided in Section 8(g),shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Section 8 be reduced by anycompensation or benefits earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer orself-employment, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed byExecutive to the Company, or otherwise.     9.
