Limitation on Short Sales The Investor and its affiliates shall not engage in short sales of the Company's Common Stock; provided, however, that the Investor may enter into any short exempt sale or any short sale or other hedging or similar arrangement it deems appropriate with respect to Put Shares after it receives a Put Notice with respect to such Put Shares so long as such sales or arrangements do not involve more than the number of such Put Shares specified in the Put Notice.
Limitation on Short Sales and Hedging Transactions The Buyer agrees that beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 11(k), the Buyer and its agents, representatives and affiliates shall not in any manner whatsoever enter into or effect, directly or indirectly, any (i) “short sale” (as such term is defined in Section 242.200 of Regulation SHO of the 0000 Xxx) of the Common Stock or (ii) hedging transaction, which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock.
Restriction on Short Sales The Buyers agree that, so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, but in no event less than two (2) years from the date hereof, the Buyers will not enter into or effect any “short sales” (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-3 of the 0000 Xxx) of the Common Stock or hedging transaction which establishes a net short position with respect to the Common Stock.
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.
Excess Parachute Payments Limitation on Payments (a) Best Pay Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Executive (including any payment or benefit received in connection with a termination of the Executive’s employment, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (all such payments and benefits, including the payments and benefits under Section 4 hereof, being hereinafter referred to as the “Total Payments”) would be subject (in whole or part) to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) then, if elected by the Executive, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or agreement, any cash payments shall first be reduced, and any noncash payments shall thereafter be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax but only if (i) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (ii) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Executive would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to such unreduced Total Payments).

Compliance with Section 409A of the Code All payments and benefits payable under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Section 409A Payments) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Certain payments and benefits payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the applicable requirements of, and exemptions from, Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. To the extent the payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and administered in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder If the Company and the Executive determine that any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code do not comply with Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and any applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the Company and the Executive agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as the Company and the Executive deem reasonably necessary or appropriate, to cause such compensation, benefits and other payments to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and other applicable authority issued by the Internal Revenue Service, while providing compensation, benefits and other payments that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the compensation, benefits and other payments provided under this Agreement. In the case of any compensation, benefits or other payments that are payable under this Agreement and intended to comply with Sections 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code, if any provision of the Agreement would cause such compensation, benefits or other payments to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such compensation, benefits or other payments to the extent such provision would cause a failure to comply, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
Limitation on Payments In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this Section 5, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s benefits under Section 3 will be either:
