280G Limitation Sample Clauses

280G Limitation. (i) If the payments and benefits provided to Executive under this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments and benefits provided to Executive from the Company (including, without limitation, any accelerated vesting thereof) (the “Total Payments”), would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code) and be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the Total Payments shall be reduced if and to the extent that a reduction in the Total Payments would result in Executive retaining a larger amount than if Executive received all of the Total Payments, in each case measured on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes and, if applicable, the Excise Tax). The determination of any reduction in the Total Payments shall be made at the Company’s cost by the Company’s independent public accountants or another firm designated by the Company and reasonably approved by Executive, and may be determined using reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company shall pay Executive’s costs incurred for tax, accounting and other professional advice in the event of a challenge of any such reasonable, good faith interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.

The determination of the amount of any reduction shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Company, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties.

For purposes of this limitation, (a) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company does not constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (such as payments payable pursuant to the Company's standard or general severance policies); (b) the payment pursuant to Section 5 shall be reduced only to the extent necessary so that the Total Payments (other than those referred to in the immediately preceding clause (a)) in their entirety constitute reasonable compensation within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4)(B) of the Code, in the opinion of the tax counsel referred to in the immediately preceding clause (a); and (c) the value of any other non-cash benefit or of any deferred cash payment included in the Total Payments shall be determined by the Company's independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.
