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.

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 Corporation’s independent accountants or a nationally recognized law firm chosen by the Corporation. The fact that Employee’s 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.
