If the Executive is entitled to a payment pursuant to Section 4(a) or Section 4(b) , then the Company shall pay to the Executive in cash or cash equivalent funds an amount equal to:

the sum of:

For purposes of this Agreement, this amount shall be equal to the Bonus Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs through the Termination Date and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365); and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(C) any accrued vacation pay, but only to the extent not already paid;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

plus

the sum of (A) two times Executive’s highest annual rate of base salary during the twelve-month period immediately prior to Executive’s Termination Date, (B) two times Executive’s Bonus Amount, and (C) two times the highest amount shown in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table set forth in the Company’s most recent proxy statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, however , that if Executive’s Termination Date is within two years of Executive’s 65th Birthday, such sum shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of full months from the Termination Date to Executive’s 65th Birthday, and the denominator of which is equal to 24.

If the terms of any employee welfare benefit plan or employee pension benefit plan of the Company do not permit continued participation by Executive, the Company will arrange to provide to Executive a benefit substantially similar to, and no less favorable than, the benefit he was entitled to receive under such plan at the end of the period of coverage.

(e)  SERP Accrual. Within twenty days following receipt by the Company of the Release contemplated by Section 11 hereof and the expiration of any applicable waiting periods, the Company shall provide Executive with two additional years of service credit under all non-qualified retirement plans and excess benefit plans in which the Executive participated as of his Termination Date; provided, however , that if Executive’s Termination Date is within two years of Executive’s 65th Birthday, the Company shall continue to provide Executive with the additional service credit described in this Section 4(e) only for the number of full months equal to the difference between Executive’s Termination Date and the Executive’s 65th Birthday.

(f)  Withholding Taxes . The Company may withhold from all payments due to Executive (or his beneficiary or estate) hereunder all taxes that, by applicable federal, state, local or other law, the Company is required to withhold therefrom.

(g)  Other Employee Benefits . Any benefits (other than severance) payable to the Executive due to the termination of his employment shall be paid to the Executive in accordance with the benefit payment provisions of the applicable employee benefit plan.

(h)  Change in Control .

Said sum shall be paid in one lump sum within twenty business days following receipt by the Company of the Release contemplated by Section 11 hereof and the expiration of any applicable waiting periods. Such payment shall be in lieu of any other future payments which Executive would be otherwise entitled to receive under this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall extend the two year period during which it will provide certain benefits to Executive pursuant to Section 4(d) for an additional year.

 

(i)

 

Gross-Up Payment .

 

 

 

 

 

(A)

 

In the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit or distribution (or combination thereof) by the Company or one or more trusts established by the Company for the benefit of its employees, to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise) (a “Payment”) is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up

 

6


 

 

 

 

Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and the Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(i), if it shall be determined that Executive is entitled to a Gross-Up Payment, but that the Payment does not exceed 110% of the greatest amount that could be paid to Executive without giving rise to any Excise Tax (the “Safe Harbor Amount”), then no Gross-Up Payment shall be made to Executive and the amounts payable under this Agreement shall be reduced so that the Payment, in the aggregate, is reduced to the Safe Harbor Amount. The reduction of the amounts payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing the payments under Section 4(h).

 

 

 

 

 

(B)

 

All determinations required to be made under this Section 4(i), including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by an independent accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within ten business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company; provided that for purposes of determining the amount of any Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income tax at the highest marginal rates applicable to individuals in the calendar year in which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made and deemed to pay state and local income taxes at the highest effective rates applicable to individuals in the state or locality of Executive’s residence or place of employment in the calendar year in which any such Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes that can be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes, taking into account limitations applicable to individuals subject to federal income tax at the highest marginal rates. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 4(i), shall be paid by the Company to Executive (or to the appropriate taxing authority on Executive’s behalf) when the applicable tax is due. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive, it shall so indicate to Executive in writing. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code, it is possible that the amount of the Gross-Up Payment determined by the Accounting Firm to be due to (or on behalf of) Executive was lower than the amount actually due (“Underpayment”). In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 4(i)(C) and 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 the Company to or for the benefit of Executive.

(C)

 

Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of any Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company, (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contes
