6.2. A determination as to whether the Benefits shall be reduced to the Limited Benefit Amount pursuant to this Section 6 and the amount of such Limited Benefit Amount shall be made by Skyworks’ independent public accountants or another certified public accounting firm, executive compensation consulting firm or law firm of national reputation designated by Skyworks (the “Firm”) at Skyworks’ expense.

Unless you provide written notice to Skyworks within ten (10) business days of the delivery to you of the Determination that you dispute such Determination, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon you and Skyworks. If the Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by you with respect to any Benefits, it shall furnish to you and to Skyworks, in writing, a summary of the assumptions and calculations made by the Firm to support its conclusion that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Benefits.

Limitation on Benefits. (a) It is the intention of the Executive and of the Employers that no payments by the Employers to or for the benefit of the Executive under this Agreement and/or any other agreement or plan pursuant to which the Executive is entitled to receive payments or benefits shall be non-deductible to the Employers by reason of the operation of Section 280G of the Code relating to parachute payments. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any such agreement or plan, if by reason of the operation of said Section 280G, any such payments exceed the amount which can be deducted by the Employers in the aggregate, such payments shall be reduced to the maximum amount which can be deducted by the Employers. To the extent that payments exceeding such maximum deductible amount have been made to or for the benefit of the Executive, such excess payments shall be refunded to the Employers with interest thereon at the applicable Federal Rate determined under Section 1274(d) of the Code, compounded annually, or at such other rate as may be required in order that no such payments shall be non-deductible to the Employers by reason of the operation of said Section 280G. To the extent that there is more than one method of reducing the payments to bring them within the limitations of said Section 280G, the Executive shall determine which method shall be followed, provided that if the Executive fails to make such determination within forty-five days after the Employers have sent him written notice of the need for such reduction, the Employers may determine the method of such reduction in their sole discretion.
(b) If any dispute between the Employers and the Executive as to any of the amounts to be determined under this Section 5, or the method of calculating such amounts, cannot be resolved by the Employers and the Executive, either the Employers or the Executive after giving three days written notice to the other, may refer the dispute to a partner in the Boston office of a firm of independent certified public accountants selected jointly by the Employers and the Executive. The determination of such partner as to the amount to be determined under Section 5(a) and the method of calculating such amounts shall be final and binding on both the Employers and the Executive. The Employers shall bear the costs of any such determination.
Limitation on Benefits. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payments or benefits to be made to or for the Executive's benefit, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, whether by the Company or another entity or person, would constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then such payments or benefits shall be modified to the extent necessary so that no portion of such benefits or payments shall subject the Executive to any excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code.
(b) In the event the amount of any "parachute payments" which would be payable to or for the benefit of the Executive without regard to this Section must be modified to comply with this Section, the Executive shall direct which "parachute payments" are to be waived or modified; provided, however, that no change in timing of the payments shall be made without the consent of the Company.
(c) Payment of amounts pursuant to this Agreement shall not, unless directed by the Executive, be delayed pending determination of the status of a payment as a "parachute payment" by the Internal Revenue Service, court or similar body of competent jurisdiction. Either the Company or the Executive may, however, request a determination as to whether the payment or benefit would constitute a parachute payment and, if so requested, such determination shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Company and approved by the Executive. Payment may be delayed pending any such determination, provided that the Executive shall be entitled to interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal Rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payments or benefits to be made to or for the Executive's benefit, whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, whether by the Company or another entity or person, would not be deductible by the Company due to limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code, then such payments or benefits shall be deferred to the extent necessary until such time as such payments would be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. Either the Company or the Executive may request a determination as to whether any payments would be subject to limitations on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Code and, if so requested, such determination shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Company and approved by the Executive.

Limitation on Benefits. If, following a termination of employment that gives the Employee a right to the payment of Severance Benefits under Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(b), the Employee violates in any material respect any of the covenants in Section 7 or as otherwise set forth in the Release, the Employee will have no further right or claim to any payments or other benefits to which the Employee may otherwise be entitled under Section 6.4(a) or Section 6.4(b) from and after the date on which the Employee engages in such activities and the Company will have no further obligations with respect to such payments or benefits, and the covenants in Section 7 will nevertheless continue in full force and effect.
Limitation on Benefits. The Company will make the payments under this Agreement without regard to whether the deductibility of such payments (or any other payments or benefits) would be limited or precluded by Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and without regard to whether such payments would subject Executive to the federal excise tax levied on certain “excess parachute payments” under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”); provided, however, that if the Total After-Tax Payments (as defined below) would be increased by the reduction or elimination of any payment and/or other benefit (including the vesting of the options) under this Agreement, then the amounts payable under this Agreement will be reduced or eliminated as follows, if possible: (i) first, by reducing or eliminating any cash payments or other benefits (other than the vesting of the options) and (ii) second, by reducing or eliminating the vesting of that options that occurs as a result of such Change in Control (as provided above), to the extent necessary to maximize the Total After-Tax Payments. The Company’s independent, certified public accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) will determine whether and to what extent payments or vesting under this agreement are required to be reduced in accordance with the preceding sentence. For purposes of this Agreement, “Total After-Tax Payments” means the total of all “parachute payments” (as that term is defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) made to or for the benefit of Executive (whether made under the Agreement or otherwise) by the Company or any of its affiliates, after reduction for all applicable federal state and local income taxes, employment, social security and Medicare taxes, the imposition of the Excise Tax and all other taxes, determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws which applied (or is likely to apply) to the Employee’s taxable income for the tax year in which the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code occurs, or such other rate(s) as the Accounting Firm determines to be likely to apply to the Executive in the relevant tax year(s) in which any of the parachute payments is expected to be made) than if the Employee received all of the parachute payments. The Company agrees to pay for all costs associated with the Accounting Firm and the determination of the payments or vesting required to be reduced and for the avoi...
Limitation on Benefits.

Limitation on Benefits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any of the payments and benefits provided for under this Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement between the Company and Executive (collectively, the “Payments”) (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) but for this Section 19.3, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Payments shall be payable either (i) in full or (ii) as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (determined in accordance with the reduction of payments and benefits paragraph set forth below); whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in Executive’s receipt on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits under this Agreement, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless Executive and the Company otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely in reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. If any Payments would be reduced pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence but would not be so reduced if the stockholder approval requirements of section 280G(b)(5) of the Code are satisfied, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such payments to be submitted for such approval prior to the event giving rise to such payments. The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or pr...

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment, benefit or distribution of any type to you or for your benefit by the Company or any of its affiliates, whether paid or payable, provided or to be provided, or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Total Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the Total Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the maximum amount of the Total Payments (after reduction) shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than the amount which would cause the Total Payments to be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code. Unless you shall have given prior written notice to the Company to effectuate a reduction in the Total Payments if such a reduction is required, any such notice consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest thereunder, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Total Payments by first reducing or eliminating any cash severance benefits (with the payments to be made furthest in the future being reduced first), then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of stock options or similar awards, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of restricted stock or similar awards, then by reducing or eliminating any other remaining Total Payments. The preceding provisions of this Section 4 shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing your rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.
