Change in Terms We may change the terms and charges for the services shown in this Agreement and may amend this Agreement from time to time upon proper notice to You.
Excise Tax Limitation (a) It is the intention of the Parties that no portion of any payment under this Agreement, or payments to or for the benefit of Executive under any other agreement or plan, be deemed to be an Excess Parachute Payment. The present value of payments to or for the benefit of Executive in the nature of compensation, receipt of which is contingent on a Change in Control, and to which Code Section 280G applies (in the aggregate “Total Payments”) shall not exceed an amount equal to one dollar ($1.00) less than the maximum amount that the Company may pay without loss of deduction under Code Section 280G(a). Present value for purposes of this Agreement shall be calculated in accordance with Code Section 280G(d)(4). Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the earlier of (i) the giving of the notice of termination or (ii) the giving of notice by the Company to Executive of its belief that there is a payment or benefit due Executive that will result in an Excess Parachute Payment, the Parties, at the Company’s expense, shall obtain the opinion of an Independent Advisor, which opinion need not be unqualified, which sets forth (A) Executive’s applicable “base amount” (as defined under Code Section 280G), (B) the present value of Total Payments and (C) the amount and present value of any Excess Parachute Payments. In the event that such opinion determines that there would be an Excess Parachute Payment, the payment hereunder or any other payment determined by such Independent Advisor to be includable in Total Payments shall be modified, reduced or eliminated, in accordance with Code Section 409A, as specified by Executive in writing delivered to the Company within ninety (90) days of Executive’s receipt of such opinions or, if Executive fails to so notify the Company, then as the Company shall reasonably determine, so that under the bases of calculation set forth in such opinions there will be no Excess Parachute Payment. The provisions of this Section 6, including the calculations, notices and opinion provided for herein, shall be based upon the conclusive presumption that (A) the compensation and benefits provided for in Section 3 and (B) any other compensation earned by Executive pursuant to the Company’s compensation programs that would have been paid in any event, are reasonable compensation for services rendered, even though the timing of such payment may be triggered by a Change in Control. (b) The Parties hereby recognize that the restrictive covenants under Section 7 have value that is equivalent in amount to some or all of the Severance Amount (and potentially other termination benefits) and that such value shall be recognized in the Code Section 280G calculations contemplated hereunder. The Independent Advisor shall make the determination of the actual fair market value of the restrictive covenants under Section 7 at the time of the Change in Control.
Change in Name The Purchaser shall intimate the Seller of any change in its name (on account reasons other than a change in its Control), immediately upon occurrence of name change. The Parties shall thereafter take necessary steps to record such change in the name of the Purchaser in the books and records of the Seller and shall also execute an amendment agreement to the Agreement to record such name change.
Withholding; Tax Effect All payments made by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company to make any payments to compensate the Executive for any adverse tax effect associated with any payments or benefits or for any deduction or withholding from any payment or benefit.
Allocation of Tax Liabilities The provisions of this Section 2 are intended to determine each Company's liability for Taxes with respect to Pre-Distribution Periods. Once the liability has been determined under this Section 2, Section 5 determines the time when payment of the liability is to be made, and whether the payment is to be made to the Tax Authority directly or to another Company.
