Adjustments of Payments and Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit to be paid or provided hereunder or under any other plan or agreement would be an Excess Parachute Payment, within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, but for the application of this sentence, then the payments and benefits to be paid or provided hereunder shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (but in no event to less than zero) so that no portion of any such payment or benefit, as so reduced, constitutes an Excess Parachute Payment; provided, however, that the foregoing reduction shall be made only if and to the extent that such reduction would result in an increase in the aggregate payments and benefits to be provided, determined on an after-tax basis (taking into account the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, any tax imposed by any comparable provision of state law, and any applicable federal, state and local income taxes). The determination of whether any reduction in such payments or benefits to be provided hereunder is required pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made at the expense of the Corporation, if requested by Employee or the Corporation, by the Corporations independent accountants or a nationally recognized law firm chosen by the Corporation. The fact that Employees right to payments or benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in this Section shall not of itself limit or otherwise affect any other rights of Employee under this Agreement. In the event that any payment or benefit intended to be provided hereunder is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section, then the reduction shall occur in the following order: # reduction of the lump sum severance amount set forth in Section 4.1(a); and # reduction, on a pro-rata basis, of any Excess Parachute Payments under any other plan or arrangement.
Limitation on Payments and Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that any amount or benefit to be paid or provided under this Agreement or otherwise to the Employee constitutes a parachute payment within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and but for this provision, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the totality of those amounts shall be either: # delivered in full, or # delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such payments and benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (and any equivalent state or local excise taxes), results in the receipt by the Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of such payments and benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such amount may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and the Employee otherwise agree, any determination required under this provision shall be made in writing by a firm of independent public accountants or a law firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Employee (the Accountants), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Employee and the Company for all purposes. The Company and the Employee agree to furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this provision. The Company will bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this provision. Any reduction of any amount required by this provision shall occur in the following order: # reduction of cash payments to the Employee under this Agreement or otherwise; # reduction of vesting acceleration of equity awards under this Agreement or otherwise; and # reduction of other benefits paid or provided to the Employee. If two or more equity awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro rata basis (dollar-for-dollar).
Section [[Unknown Identifier]]. Any provision of this Policy to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment or benefit a Participant would receive from the Company pursuant to this Policy or otherwise (a “Payment”) would # constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and # but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount (defined below). The “Reduced Amount” will be either # the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or # the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Participant’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction will occur in the manner that results in the greatest economic benefit to the Participant. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced by mutual agreement of the parties. If deemed necessary for compliance with Section 409A of the Code, any reduction will occur first with respect to amounts that are not “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and then with respect to amounts that are. To the extent any such payment is to be made over time (e.g., in installments, etc.), then the Payments shall be reduced in reverse chronological order. In no event will the Company or any stockholder be liable to the Participant for any amounts not paid as a result of the operation of this Section.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that it shall be determined that any payments by the Company under this Agreement (“Payments”) to or for the benefit of the Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of the Agreement or otherwise) would result in an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code, but that no portion of the Payments would be treated as excess parachute payments if the aggregate amount of the Payments were reduced then the Payments may be reduced to the “Reduced Amount” as provided in this Section. The “Reduced Amount” shall be an amount expressed in present value which maximizes the aggregate present value of Payments without causing any Payment to be an excess parachute payment under Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. For purposes of this provision, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. Executive shall receive whichever of the following results in the largest after tax amount: # the Reduced Amount, or # the sum of all Payments. Any determinations with respect to the amount of any Reduced Amount and the Payments that are to be reduced hereunder shall be made by the Company. If Executive disagrees with the Company’s determination pursuant to this paragraph, Executive and Company shall mutually designate a nationally certified public accounting firm to determine the proper amount payable pursuant to this paragraph. To the extent necessary to achieve the Reduced Amount, Payments shall be reduced as follows: # first, outplacement reimbursements pursuant to Section 6.e shall be reduced beginning with reimbursement for the most recent cost incurred by the Executive; # second, disability benefit coverage under Section 6.c shall be reduced by terminating such coverage earlier than the date specified in that Section as necessary; # third, life insurance benefit coverage under Section 6.c shall be reduced by terminating such coverage earlier than the date specified in that section as necessary; # fourth, insured and self-insured medical insurance benefit coverage under Section 6.c shall be reduced by terminating such coverage earlier than the date specified in that Section as necessary; # fifth, lump sum payments pursuant to Section 6.a and 6.b; and # sixth, any loan pursuant to Section 6.d. In no event, however, shall any Payments be reduced if and to the extent such reduction would cause a violation of Section 409A of the Code or other applicable law or would fail to reduce any excess parachute payment under this Section. The calculations required by this Section will be made assuming that the Executive pays Federal, state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate of tax in each case.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, if any payments or benefits that you would receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Payments”) would, either separately or in the aggregate, # constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and # but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments will be equal to the Reduced Amount (defined below). The “Reduced Amount” will be either # the entire amount of the Payments, or # an amount equal to the largest portion of the Payments that would result in no portion of any of the Payments (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of the Payments. If a reduction in the Payments is to be made so that the amount of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount, the Payments will be paid only to the extent permitted under the Reduced Amount alternative; provided, that in the event the Reduced Amount is paid, the cash payments set forth in Section 3.1 shall be reduced as required by the operation of this Section 6.9.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment or benefit to be paid or provided to you, under this Agreement or any other arrangement (collectively, the "Total Payments"), would be a "Parachute Payment," within the meaning of Section 280G of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), but for the application of this sentence, then the Total Payments will be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (but in no event to less than zero) so that no portion of any such payment or benefit, as so reduced, constitutes a Parachute Payment; provided, however, that the foregoing reduction will be made only if and to the extent that such reduction would result in an increase in the aggregate payments and benefits to be provided to you, determined on an after-tax basis (taking into account the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, any tax imposed by any comparable provision of state law, and any applicable federal, state and local income taxes). Any determinations required to be made under this Section 8 will be made by BHI’s independent accountants or another major accounting firm selected by BHI, which will provide detailed supporting calculations both to you and BHI within fifteen (15) business days after the date of the termination of your employment (or other event that triggers a calculation under Section 4999 of the Code) or such earlier time as is requested by BHI, and will be made at the expense of BHI. The fact that your right to payments or benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in this Section 8 will not of itself limit or otherwise affect any of your other rights under this Agreement. If any payment or benefit is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section 8 and no such payment or benefit qualifies as a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of and subject to Section 409A of the Code ("Nonqualified Deferred Compensation"), you will be entitled to designate the payments and/or benefits to be so reduced in order to give effect to this Section 8. BHI will provide you with all information that you reasonably request to permit you to make such designation. If any payment or benefit is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section 8 and any such payment or benefit constitutes Nonqualified Deferred Compensation or you fail to elect an order in which payments or benefits will be reduced pursuant to this Section 8, then the reduction will occur in the following order: # the payments under [Section 2(a)(i) or 3(a)(iii) of Appendix A]A], as applicable, # the payments under [Section 2(a)(iv) or 3(a)(v) of Appendix A]A], as applicable, # any other cash payments to be made to you but only if the value of such cash payments is not greater than the parachute value of such payments, # other payments, including cancellation of acceleration of vesting, if applicable, ratably. Within any category of payments and benefits (that is, (a), (b), (c) or (d)), # a reduction will occur first with respect to amounts that are not Nonqualified Deferred Compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and then with respect to amounts that are, and # the payment and/or benefit amounts to be reduced and the acceleration of vesting to be cancelled, if applicable, shall be reduced or cancelled in the inverse order of their originally scheduled dates of payment or vesting, as applicable.
Parachute Cap. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment, benefit, or amount payable or benefit to be provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement that is a “Parachute Payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, will be reduced to the extent necessary so that the benefits payable or to be provided to Executive under this Agreement that are treated as Parachute Payments as well as any payments or benefits provided outside of this Agreement that are so treated will not cause the Corporation to have paid an “Excess Parachute Payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. If it is established that an “Excess Parachute Payment” has occurred or will occur under this Agreement or otherwise, the Corporation will reduce the amount of any remaining Parachute Payments to be made to ensure that the total payments to Executive do not exceed 2.99 times Executive’s “base amount” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code.
(taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes). The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order. The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided hereunder is necessary shall be made by the Company in good faith. If a reduced payment or benefit is made or provided and through error or otherwise that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the Company or any of its affiliates used in determining if a "parachute payment" exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Employee's base amount, then Employee shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. Nothing in this [Section 23] shall require the Company to be responsible for, or have any liability or obligation with respect to, Employee's excise tax liabilities under Section 4999 of the Code.
Limitation on Payments. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that Employee becomes entitled to payments or benefits under this Agreement and the payments or benefits payable to Employee under this Agreement, when combined with other payments and benefits received or to be received by the Employee from the Company or any corporation affiliated with the Company within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code, in the opinion of the Company, would constitute parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, then the amounts payable to Employee under this Agreement shall be reduced to an amount, the present value of which (when combined with the present value of any other payments or benefits otherwise received or to be received by Employee from the Company (or any corporation affiliated with the Company within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code) that would be deemed parachute payments) is equal to 2.99 times the base amount within the meaning [Section 280G(b)(3)].
Best Pay. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment or benefit Executive would receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (“Payment”) would # constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and # but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount (as defined below). The “Reduced Amount” will be either # the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax or # the entire Payment, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state, and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in Executive’ s receipt, on an after- tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in a Payment is required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner (the “Reduction Method”) that results in the greatest economic benefit for Executive. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the “Pro Rata Reduction Method”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reduction Method or the Pro Rata Reduction Method would result in any portion of the Payment being subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A (as defined below) that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A, then the Reduction Method and/or the Pro Rata Reduction Method, as the case may be, shall be modified so as to avoid the imposition of taxes pursuant to Section 409A as follows: # as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest economic benefit for Executive as determined on an after-tax basis; # as a second priority, Payments that are contingent on future events (e.g., being terminated without cause), shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not contingent on future events; and # as a third priority, Payments that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of [Section 409A] shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of [Section 409A].
