Determinations. Any determination required under this Section 11 shall be made in writing in good faith by the accounting firm that was the Company’s independent auditor immediately before the occurrence of the Change in Control (the “Accountants”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations to you and the Company as requested by your or the Company. You and the Company shall provide the Accountants with such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 11. For purposes of making the calculations and determinations required by this Section 11, the Accountants may rely on reasonable, good faith assumptions and approximations concerning the application of [Section 280G] and Section 4999 of the Code. The Accountants’ determinations shall be final and binding on you and the Company. The Company shall be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred by the Accountants in connection with the calculations required by this Section 11.

Determinations. All determinations regarding the application of this Section 17 shall be made by an accounting firm or consulting group with experience in performing calculations regarding the applicability of Section 280G of the Code and the Excise Tax selected by the Company (the "Independent Advisors"). For purposes of determinations, no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Independent Advisors, # does not constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of [Section 280G(b)(4)(A)] of the Code) or # constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of [Section 280G(b)(4)(B)] of the Code, in excess of the "base amount" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation. The costs of obtaining such determination and all related fees and expenses (including related fees and expenses incurred in any later audit) shall be borne by the Company.

Certain Determinations. For purposes of determining whether and the extent to which the Total Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax: # no portion of the Total Payments the receipt or enjoyment of which Executive shall have waived at such time and in such manner as not to constitute a “payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code will be taken into account; # no portion of the Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Accounting Firm, does not constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of [Section 280G(b)(4)(A)] of the Code) and, in calculating the Excise Tax, no portion of such Total Payments will be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Accounting Firm, constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of [Section 280G(b)(4)(B)] of the Code, in excess of the “base amount” (as set forth in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) that is allocable to such reasonable compensation; and # the value of any non-cash benefit or any deferred payment or benefit included in the Total Payments will be determined by the Accounting Firm in accordance with the principles of [Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4)])] of the Code. Executive and the Company shall furnish such documentation and documents as may be necessary for the Accounting Firm to perform the requisite calculations and analysis under this Section 5 (and shall cooperate to the extent necessary for any of the determinations in this Section 5(c) to be made), and the Accounting Firm shall provide a written report of its determinations hereunder, including detailed supporting calculations. If the Accounting Firm determines that aggregate Total Payments should be reduced as described above, it shall promptly notify Executive and the Company to that effect. In the absence of manifest error, all determinations by the Accounting Firm under this Section 5 shall be binding on Executive and the Company and shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the later of Executive’s date of termination of employment or the date of the transaction which causes the application of Section 280G of the Code. The Company shall bear all costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and any legal counsel retained by the Accounting Firm.

Determinations. Within 30 days following the Executive’s termination of employment or notice by one Party [[Organization A:Organization]] other of its belief that there is a payment or benefit due [[Organization A:Organization]] Executive that will result in an excess parachute payment, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall select a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm or consulting firm (which may be the Company’s independent auditors) (“Consulting Firm”) reasonably acceptable [[Organization A:Organization]] Executive, to determine # the Base Amount (as defined below), # the amount and present value of the Total Payments, # the amount and present value of any excess parachute payments determined without regard to any reduction of Total Payments pursuant to Section 5(a), and (iv) the net after-tax proceeds [[Organization A:Organization]] Executive, taking into account the tax imposed under Code [Section 4999] if # the Total Payments were reduced in accordance with [Section 5(a), or (y)] the Total Payments were not so reduced. If the Consulting Firm determines that Section 5(a)(ii) above applies, then the payments upon the Executive’s termination of employment hereunder or any other payment or benefit determined by such Consulting Firm to be includable in Total Payments shall be reduced or eliminated so that there will be no excess parachute payment. In such event, payments or benefits included in the Total Payments shall be reduced or eliminated by applying the following principles, in order: # the payment or benefit with the later possible payment date shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with an earlier payment date; and # cash payments shall be reduced prior to non-cash benefits; provided that if the foregoing order of reduction or elimination would violate Code [Section 409A], then the reduction shall be made pro rata among the payments or benefits included in the Total Payments (on the basis of the relative present value of the parachute payments).

Determinations. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all determinations, interpretations and assumptions relating to the RSUs shall be made by the Administrator (including any determinations regarding whether the Participant engaged in Competition or, if applicable, breached any Restrictive Covenants contained herein).

Certain Final Determinations. If an adjustment (a “Tax Adjustment”) pursuant to a Final Determination in a Tax Contest initiated by a Tax Authority results in a Tax greater than the Tax shown on the relevant Tax Return for any Pre-Distribution Period, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to any Tax Benefit as and when actually realized by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Tax Adjustment. The Parties agree that if an Indemnified Party is required to make a payment to an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 4.6, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to set off the amount of such payment against any indemnity payments owed by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, taking into account time value and similar concepts as appropriate.

Determinations. In making its determinations concerning the Participants who shall receive Awards, as well as the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered thereby and the time or times at which they shall be granted, the Administrator shall take into account the nature of the Service rendered by such Participants, their past, present and potential contribution to the Company’s success and such factors as the Administrator may deem relevant. The Administrator shall determine the form of Award Agreements evidencing Awards under the Plan and the terms and conditions to be included therein; provided such terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. The Administrator may waive any provisions of any Award Agreement, provided such waiver is not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. The determinations of the Administrator under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.

Determinations. All determinations regarding the application of this Section 17 shall be made by an accounting firm or consulting group with experience in performing calculations regarding the applicability of Section 280G of the Code and the Excise Tax selected by the Company (the "Independent Advisors"). For purposes of determinations, no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken into account which, in the opinion of the Independent Advisors, # does not constitute a "parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (including by reason of [Section 280G(b)(4)(A)] of the Code) or # constitutes reasonable compensation for services actually rendered, within the meaning of [Section 280G(b)(4)(B)] of the Code, in excess of the "base amount" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) allocable to such reasonable compensation. The costs of obtaining such determination and all related fees and expenses (including related fees and expenses incurred in any later audit) shall be borne by the Company.
