Determination by Independent Accountant The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.
Determination by Independent Accountants The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.
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 expense of Westport, take such steps as are reasonably necessary (including the filing of returns and claims for refund), follow reasonable instructions from, and procedures established by, Westport, and otherwise reasonably cooperate with Westport to correct such Overpayment, provided, however, that (i) the Employee shall not in any event be obligated to return to Westport an amount greater than the net after-tax portion of the Overpayment that he or she has retained or has recovered as a refund from the applicable taxing authorities and (ii) this provision shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the intent to make the Employee whole, on an after-tax basis, from the application of the Excise Tax, it being understood that the correction of an Overpayment may result in the Employee repaying to Westport an amount which is less than the Overpayment.
Determination by the Reviewing Party If the Company reasonably believes that it is not obligated under this Agreement to indemnify the Indemnitee, the Company shall, within 10 days after the Indemnitee’s written request for an advancement or reimbursement of Expenses, notify the Indemnitee that the request for advancement of Expenses or reimbursement of Expenses will be submitted to the Reviewing Party (as hereinafter defined). The Reviewing Party shall make a determination on the request within 30 days after the Indemnitee’s written request for an advancement or reimbursement of Expenses. Notwithstanding anything foregoing to the contrary, in the event the Reviewing Party informs the Company that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification in connection with a Proceeding under this Agreement or applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee for all the Expenses previously advanced or otherwise paid to Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding; provided, however, that Indemnitee may bring a suit to enforce his/her indemnification right in accordance with Section C.3 below.
Termination by the Company without Cause or Resignation by Executive for Good Reason (Other Than Change in Control). The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause. Should the Company elect to allow this Agreement to expire at the end of the Term without attempting to renegotiate its terms, the expiration of this Agreement shall be a termination without Cause for purposes of the Executive’s eligibility for the benefits described in this Section 5.4. In the event Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause, but not in the event of a termination due to Death or Disability under Section 5.1, or Executive resigns for Good Reason (other than in connection with a Change in Control (as defined below)), and upon compliance with Section 5.5 below, Executive shall be eligible to receive the following “Severance Benefits:” (i) continuation of Executive’s base salary, then in effect, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination Date, paid on the same basis and at the same time as previously paid; and (ii) the Company shall pay the premiums of Executive’s group health insurance COBRA continuation coverage, including coverage for Executive’s eligible dependents, for a maximum period of twelve (12) months following a termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason; provided, however, that (a) the Company shall pay premiums for Executive’s eligible dependents only for coverage for which those eligible dependents were enrolled immediately prior to the termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason and (b) the Company’s obligation to pay such premiums shall cease immediately upon Executive’s eligibility for comparable group health insurance provided by a new employer of Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums, the Company will instead pay Executive, fully taxable cash payments equal to and paid at the same time as the COBRA premiums that otherwise would have been paid, subject to applicable tax withholdings. Vesting of any unvested stock options and/or other equity securities shall cease on the date of termination. To receive the payments under (i) and (ii) above, Executive’s termination or resignation must constitute a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) and without regard to any alternate definition thereunder) (a “Separation from Service”) and Executive must execute and allow the Release to become effective within 60 days of Executive’s termination or resignation. Such payments shall not be paid prior to the 60th day following Executive’s termination or resignation, rather, subject to the aforementioned conditions, on the 60th day following Executive’s termination or resignation, the Company will pay Executive such payments in a lump sum that Executive would have received on or prior to such date under the original schedule, with the balance of such payments being paid as originally scheduled.

Dealer shall be discharged of its obligations to Counterparty only to the extent of any such performance.
Regulation by the Committee This Agreement and the Restricted Shares shall be subject to the administrative procedures and rules as the Committee shall adopt. All decisions of the Committee upon any question arising under the Plan or under this Agreement, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Awardee.
