For purposes of this Section 2.2, the Contingent Compensation Payments so eliminated shall bereferred to as the “Eliminated Payments” and the aggregate amount (determined in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q/A-30 or any successor provision) of 

the Contingent Compensation Payments so eliminated shall be referred to as the “Eliminated Amount.” 

b. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2(a), no such reduction in Contingent Compensation Payments shall be made if(i) the Eliminated Amount (computed without regard to this sentence) exceeds (ii) 110% of the aggregate present value (determined in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q/A-31 and Q/A-32 or any successorprovisions) of the amount of any additional taxes that would be incurred by the Executive if the Eliminated Payments (determined without regard to this sentence) were paid to him or her (including, state and federal income taxes on the EliminatedPayments, the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code payable with respect to all of the Contingent Compensation Payments in excess of the Executive’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code), andany withholding taxes). The override of such reduction in Contingent Compensation Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) shall be referred to as a “Section 2.2(b) Override.” For purpose of this paragraph, if any federal orstate income taxes would be attributable to the receipt of any Eliminated Payment, the amount of such taxes shall be computed by multiplying the amount of the Eliminated Payment by the maximum combined federal and state income tax rate provided bylaw. 

c. For purposes of this Section 2.2 the following terms shall have the following respective meanings: 

(i) “Change in Ownership or Control” shall mean a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in theownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company determined in accordance with Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code.

d. Any payments or other benefits otherwise due to the Executive following a Change in Ownership or Control that could reasonably becharacterized (as determined by the Company) as Contingent Compensation Payments (the “Potential Payments”) shall not be made until the dates provided for in this Section 2.2(d). Within 30 days after each date on which the Executivefirst becomes entitled to receive (whether or not then due) a Contingent Compensation Payment relating to such Change in Ownership or Control, the Company shall determine and notify the Executive (with reasonable detail regarding the basis for itsdeterminations) (i) which Potential Payments constitute Contingent Compensation Payments, (ii) the Eliminated Amount and (iii) whether the Section 2.2(b) Override is applicable.

Eliminated Payments or (B) that he or she disagrees with such determination, in which case he or she shall set forth (i) which Potential Paymentsshould be characterized as Contingent Compensation Payments, (ii) the Eliminated Amount, (iii) whether the Section 2.2(b) Override is applicable, and (iv) which (if any) Contingent Compensation Payments, or portions thereof (theaggregate amount of which, determined in accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q/A-30 or any successor provision, shall be equal to the Eliminated Amount, if any), shall be treated as Eliminated Payments. In the eventthat the Executive fails to deliver an Executive Response on or before the required date, the Company’s initial determination shall be final and the Contingent Compensation Payments that shall be treated as Eliminated Payments shall bedetermined by the Company in its absolute discretion. If the Executive states in the Executive Response that he or she agrees with the Company’s determination, the Company shall make the Potential Payments to the Executive within three businessdays following delivery to the Company of the Executive Response (except for any Potential Payments which are not due to be made until after such date, which Potential Payments shall be made on the date on which they are due). If the Executivestates in the Executive Response that he or she disagrees with the Company’s determination, then, for a period of 60 days following delivery of the Executive Response, the Executive and the Company shall use good faith efforts to resolve suchdispute. If such dispute is not resolved within such 60-day period, such dispute shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Boston, Massachusetts, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment maybe entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. The Company shall, within three business days following delivery to the Company of the Executive Response, make to the Executive those Potential Payments as to which thereis no dispute between the Company and the Executive regarding whether they should be made (except for any such Potential Payments which are not due to be made until after such date, which Potential Payments shall be made on the date on which theyare due).
