  • Golden Parachute Excise Tax In the event that the benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Employee constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Employee shall receive (i) a one-time payment from the Company sufficient to pay such excise tax (the “Excise Tax Gross-Up”), and (ii) an additional one-time payment from the Company sufficient to pay the additional excise tax and federal, state and local income and employment taxes arising from the Excise Tax Gross-Up made by the Company to the Employee pursuant to this Section 6 (the “Additional Gross-Up”). Unless the Company and the Employee otherwise agree in writing, the determination of the Employee’s excise tax liability and the amount required to be paid under this Section 6 shall be made in writing in good faith by the accounting firm serving as the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to the Change of Control (the “Accountants”).

The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6.

  • Golden Parachute Taxes Notwithstanding anything contained in this Amendment to the contrary, to the extent that payments and benefits provided under this Amendment to Executive and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, Executive under any other Company plan or agreement (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that no Payment to be made or benefit to be provided to the Executive shall be subject to the Excise Tax, but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by Executive shall exceed the net after-tax benefit received by him if no such reduction was made. For purposes of this Section 1.4, "net after-tax benefit" shall mean (a) the Payments which Executive receives or is then entitled to receive from the Company that would constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (b) the amount of all federal, state and local income taxes payable with respect to the foregoing calculated at the maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid Executive (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in the Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less (c) the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payments and benefits described in (a) above by Section 4999 of the Code. The foregoing determination will be made by a nationally recognized accounting firm (the "Accounting Firm") selected by the Company (which may be, but will not be required to be, the Company's independent auditors). The Company will direct the Accounting Firm to submit its determination and detailed supporting calculations to both the Executive and the Company within fifteen (15) days after the date of termination of his employment. If the Accounting Firm determines that such reduction is required by this Section 1.4, the Executive, in his sole and absolute discretion, may determine which Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and the Company shall pay such reduced amount to him. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its services in connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by this Section 1.4 will be borne by the Company.

  • Limitation on Parachute Payments Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by You with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, except an agreement, contract, or understanding hereafter entered into that expressly modifies or excludes application of this Section (an “Other Agreement”), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to You (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which You are a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for You (a “Benefit Arrangement”), if You are a “disqualified individual,” as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code, no payment or benefit shall be made or provided to You or become vested, exercisable or payable, as applicable, (i) to the extent that such payment, right to exercise, vesting, or other benefit, taking into account all other payments, rights, or benefits to or for You, or becoming vested, exercisable or payable, as the case may be, under this Agreement, all Other Agreements and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause any such payment, right to exercise, vesting or other benefit to which You are or would be entitled under this Agreement to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code as then in effect (a “Parachute Payment”) and (ii) if, as a result of receiving a Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by You under this Agreement, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by You without causing any such payment, right to exercise, vesting or other benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment. In the event that the receipt of any such payment, right to exercise, vesting, or other benefit under this Agreement, in conjunction with all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for You under any Other Agreement or any Benefit Arrangement would cause You to be considered to have received a Parachute Payment under this Agreement that would have the effect of decreasing the after-tax amount received by You as described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then You shall have the right, in Your sole discretion, to designate those rights, payments or benefits (or the vesting or exercisability thereof) under this Agreement, any Other Agreements and any Benefit Arrangements that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having the right, payment or benefit to You (or the vesting or exercisability thereof) under this Agreement be deemed to be a Parachute Payment. All determinations required to be made under this Section, including whether and when a reduction in rights, payments or benefits (or the vesting or exercisability thereof) is required and the amount of such reduction and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or such other certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Company as may be designated by You in writing (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and You within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from You or the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the Company or any individual, entity or group effecting a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), You shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and You.

  • Parachute Provisions If any amount payable to or other benefit receivable by the Executive pursuant to this Agreement is deemed to constitute a Parachute Payment (as defined below), alone or when added to any other amount payable or paid to or other benefit receivable or received by the Executive which is deemed to constitute a Parachute Payment (whether or not under an existing plan, arrangement or other agreement), and would result in the imposition on the Executive of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Tax Code, then, in addition to any other benefits to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement, the Executive shall be paid by the Company an amount in cash equal to the sum of the excise taxes payable by the Executive by reason of receiving Parachute Payments plus the amount necessary to put the Executive in the same after-tax position (taking into account any and all applicable federal, state and local excise, income or other taxes at the highest applicable rates on such Parachute Payments and on any payments under this Section 7.18) as if no excise taxes had been imposed with respect to Parachute Payments. The amount of any payment under this Section 7.18 shall be computed by a certified public accounting firm mutually and reasonably acceptable to the Executive and the Company, the computation expenses of which shall be paid by the Company. “Parachute Payment” shall mean any payment deemed to constitute a “parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Tax Code.

  • Parachute Payment Limitation If any payment or benefit (including payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement) Executive would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this paragraph, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Company shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Payment are paid to Executive, which of the following two alternative forms of payment shall be paid to Executive: (A) payment in full of the entire amount of the Payment (a “Full Payment”), or (B) payment of only a part of the Payment so that Executive receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a “Reduced Payment”). A Full Payment shall be made in the event that the amount received by the Executive on a net after-tax basis is greater than what would be received by the Executive on a net after-tax basis if the Reduced Payment were made, otherwise a Reduced Payment shall be made. If a Reduced Payment is made, (i) the Payment shall be paid only to the extent permitted under the Reduced Payment alternative, and Executive shall have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Payment, and (ii) reduction in payments and/or benefits shall occur in the following order: (A) reduction of cash payments; (B) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (C) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (D) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of compensation from Executive’s equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be canceled in the reverse order of the date of grant.

All calculations under this section shall be determined by the Company and the Company’s outside auditors.
