Determination by Accountant. All mathematical determinations, and all determinations as to whether any of the Total Payments are "parachute payments" (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), that are required to be made under this Section, including determinations as to whether a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, the reduction of the Total Payments to the Safe Harbor Cap, amounts relevant to the last sentence of this Section 6(b), and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made at Westport's expense by an independent nationally recognized accounting firm selected by Westport (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the "Determination"), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to Westport and the Employee by no later than ten (10) days following the Termination Date, if applicable, or such earlier time as is requested by Westport or the Employee (if the Employee reasonably believes that any of the Total Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Employee, it shall furnish the Employee and Westport with a written statement that such Accounting Firm has concluded that no Excise Tax is payable (including the reasons therefor) and that the Employee has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his or her federal income tax return. If a Gross-Up Payment is determined to be payable, it shall be paid to the Employee within twenty (20) days after the Determination (and all accompanying calculations and other material supporting the Determination) is delivered to Westport by the Accounting Firm. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Westport and the Employee, absent manifest error. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the Determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments not made by Westport should have been made ("Underpayment"), or that Gross-Up Payments will have been made by Westport which should not have been made ("Overpayments"). In either such event, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment or Overpayment that has occurred. In the case of an Underpayment, the amount of such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Westport to or for the benefit of the Employee. In the case of an Overpayment, the Employee shall, at the direction and...

Determination by Accountant. (A) All computations and determinations relevant to this Section 6(k) shall be made by a national accounting firm selected by the Company from among the five (5) largest accounting firms in the United States (the “Accounting Firm”) which firm may be the Company’s accountants. Such determinations shall include whether any of the Total Payments are “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code). In making the initial determination hereunder as to whether a Gross-Up Payment is required the Accounting Firm shall determine that no Gross-Up Payment is required, if the Accounting Firm is able to conclude that no “Change of Control” has occurred (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) on the basis of “substantial authority” (within the meaning of Section 6230 of the Code) and shall provide opinions to that effect to both the Company and the Executive. If the Accounting Firm determines that a Gross-Up Payment is required, the Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations regarding the amount of any Gross-Up Payment and any other relevant matter both to the Company and the Executive by no later than ten (10) days following the Termination Date, if applicable, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company or the Executive (if the Executive reasonably believes that any of the Total Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive and the Company with a written statement that such Accounting Firm has concluded that no Excise Tax is payable (including the reasons therefor) and that the Executive has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his federal income tax return.
Determination by Accountant. All mathematical determinations and all determinations of whether any of the Total Payments are “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) that are required to be made under this Section, including all determinations of whether a Gross-Up Payment is required, of the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and of amounts relevant to the last sentence of this Section (collectively, the “Determination”), shall be made by an independent accounting firm acceptable to each of the parties hereto, or, if no firm is acceptable to both parties hereto, each of the Executive and the Company shall select an accounting firm acceptable to it, and such accounting firms shall together designate an independent accounting firm, provided, however, that any accounting firm so designated shall not have been previously retained by either party for a period of a least two (2) years subsequent to the applicable Termination Date. Any independent accounting firm selected by the Executive and the Company or designated pursuant to this Paragraph (b) shall be referred to herein as the “Accounting Firm”. Subject to Section 3.6(c) and Section 3.7, if a Gross-Up Payment is determined to be payable, it shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within five (5) days after such Determination is delivered to the Company.

Determination by Accountant. All determinations required to be made under this Paragraph 6, including whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by an independent accounting firm retained by Saia (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to Saia and the Executive within 15 business days of the date of Termination, if applicable, or such earlier time as is requested by Saia. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, it shall furnish the Executive with an opinion that he has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his federal income tax return. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Saia and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by Saia should have been made (“Underpayment”) consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that Saia exhausts its remedies pursuant to subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 6 and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Saia to or for the benefit of the Executive, but in any event no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive is required to remit the Excise Tax. Saia shall promptly pay all expenses of the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Paragraph 6.

In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 11(c) and Employee thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Employee.
