Parachute Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Stock Option Agreement or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by the Optionee and the Company or any Subsidiary, except an agreement, contract, or understanding hereafter entered into that expressly modifies or excludes application of this Section (the "Other Agreements"), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement heretofore or hereafter adopted by the Company (or any Subsidiary) for the direct or indirect compensation of the Optionee (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which the Optionee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Optionee (a "Benefit Arrangement"), if the Optionee is a "disqualified individual," as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code, the Option and any right to receive any payment or other benefit under this Stock Option Agreement shall not become exercisable or vested (i) to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for Optionee under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements, would cause any payment or benefit to the Optionee under this Stock Option 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 the Optionee from the Company under this Stock Option Agreement, the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum after-tax amount that could be received by Optionee without causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment. In the event that the receipt of any such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit under this Stock Option Agreement, in conjunction with all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Optionee under the Plan, any Other Agreement or any Benefit Arrangement would cause the Optionee to be considered to have received a Parachute Payment under this Stock Option Agreement that would have the effect of decreasing the after-tax amount received by the Optionee as described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then the Optionee shall have the right, in the Optionee's sole discretion, to designate those rights, pay...

Parachute Limitations. If the Grantee is a “disqualified individual,” as defined in Code Section 280G(c), then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by a Grantee with the Company or an Affiliate, except an agreement, contract, or understanding that expressly addresses Code Section 280G or Code Section 4999 (an “Other Agreement”), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Grantee (including groups or classes of Grantees or beneficiaries of which the Grantee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Grantee (a “Benefit Arrangement”), any right to exercise, vesting, payment or benefit to the Grantee under the Plan shall be reduced or eliminated:
Parachute Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the payments or distributions to be made by the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, under some other plan, agreement, or arrangement, or otherwise) (a “Payment”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then the Payment to the Executive shall be reduced to $1 below the safe harbor limit (as described in Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Code) if said reduction in Payment would result in the Executive retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis, taking into account the excise and income taxes imposed on the payments and benefits.
Parachute Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any compensation, payment, benefit or distribution by the Company or a Surviving Person to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Severance Compensation”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then, if and to the extent that any or all of the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would, but for this Section 7.3, be subject to Excise Taxes (as defined below), then, the aggregate amount of such Severance Compensation shall be reduced such that the present value thereof (as determined under the Code and applicable regulations) is equal to Executive’s “Threshold Amount” (as defined below). The determination of any reduction of any payment or benefits under this Section 7.3 pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be made by a nationally recognized public accounting firm chosen by the Company in good faith, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Executive. For purposes of this Section 7.3, the term “Threshold Amount” shall mean three (3) times Executive's “base amount” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) less one dollar ($1.00); and the term “Excise Taxes” shall mean the excise taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and any interest or penalties incurred by Executive with respect to such excise taxes.
Parachute Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any compensation, payment, benefit or distribution by the Company or a Surviving Person (as the case may be) to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Severance Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then, the Severance Compensation payments shall be reduced to three (3) times Executive’s “base amount” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) less one dollar ($1.00).
Parachute Limitations. If any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive (including, without limitation, any payment or benefits received in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment), whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement, or otherwise (all such payments collectively referred to herein as the “280G Payments”) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and would, but for this Section 9, be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then prior to making the 280G Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the Net Benefit (as defined below) to the Executive of the 280G Payments after payment of the Excise Tax to (ii) the Net Benefit to the Executive if the 280G Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. Only if the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount under (ii) above will the 280G Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax (that amount, the “Reduced Amount”). “Net Benefit” shall mean the present value of the 280G Payments net of all federal, state, local, foreign income, employment and excise taxes. Any such reduction shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the following:
Parachute Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Plan, this Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 15 of the Optionee’s Management Carve-Out Payment Agreement with respect to Section 280G of the Code and the treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.
Parachute Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Stock Option Agreement or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by the Optionee and Corporation, except an agreement, contract, or understanding hereafter entered into that expressly modifies or excludes application of this Section (the "Other Agreements"), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect compensation of the Optionee (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which the Optionee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Optionee (a "Benefit Arrangement"), the Optionee shall have no right to receive any payment or other benefit under the Plan, if, and to the extent that, such payment or benefit, taking into account all other payments or benefits to or for the Optionee under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Plans, would cause any payment or benefit to the Optionee under this Stock Option 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").
Parachute Limitations. If the Award Recipient is a “disqualified individual,” as defined in Code Section 280G(c), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or of any other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into by the Award Recipient with the Company or an Affiliate, except an agreement, contract, or understanding that expressly addresses Code Section 280G or Code Section 4999 (an “Other Agreement”), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Award Recipient (including groups or classes of grantees or beneficiaries of which the Award Recipient is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Award
