                           ownership of more than 50% of the total voting power
                           of a person normally entitled to vote in the election

                  fully exercisable for a period of one year.

3.       LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS

         3.1.     In the event that the payments to Employee under this
                  Agreement (i) constitute "parachute payments" within the
                  meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this
                  Section 3, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
                  Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code or any similar or
                  successor provision, then the payments shall be reduced to
                  such lesser amount that would result in no portion of the
                  payments being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the
                  Internal Revenue Code. Any determination required under this
                  Section 3 shall be made by the Company's independent
                  accountants (the "Accountants"), whose determination shall be
                  conclusive and binding upon Employee and the Company for all
                  purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by
                  this Section 3, the Accountants may make reasonable
                  assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and
                  may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning
                  the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The
                  Company and Employee shall furnish to the Accountants such
                  information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably
                  request in order to make a determination under this Section 3.
