The Agreement Payments shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount only if the Accounting Firm determines that Executive would have a greater Net After-Tax Receipt (as defined below) of aggregate Payments if Executive’s Agreement Payments were reduced to the Reduced Amount.

For purposes of this [Section 2.13], present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.
