the Determination to Executive, Executive shall have the right to dispute the
Determination (the Dispute). The Gross-Up Payment, if any, as determined

five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firms determination. The existence
of the Dispute shall not in any way affect Executives right to receive the

anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event that, according to the Determination, an Excise Tax
will be
imposed on any Payment, Company shall pay to the applicable government
taxing
authorities as Excise Tax withholding, the amount of the Excise Tax that
the Company
has actually withheld from the Payment and the Gross-Up Payment, as
applicable.

| |  | (D)If Executive is subject
to taxation under a non-United
States taxing authority and an excise tax similar to the Excise Tax is
imposed on any
Payment by such non-United States taxing authority, then Executive shall
be entitled to
receive a Gross-Up Payment as calculated pursuant to Section 12.5(a)
above, based upon
the lesser of such non-United States excise tax imposed and the Excise Tax
that would
have been imposed had the Payment been subject to United States taxation.
