to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the &#147;Code&#148;), or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and
penalties, collectively, the &#147;Excise Tax&#148;), then the Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a &#147;Gross-Up Payment&#148;) in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all federal, state and local 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 Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive

accounting firm appointed by the Employer prior to the Change in Control (the &#147;Accounting Firm&#148;). The Accounting Firm shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Employer and the Executive within fifteen (15) business days
of the receipt of notice from the Employer that there has been or will be a Payment. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Employer. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 8.6, shall be paid by the
Employer to the Executive at the time of the Payment. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Employer and the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty regarding the application of Section 4999 of the Code
hereunder, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may assert that Excise Taxes are due that were not included in the Accounting Firm&#146;s calculation of the Gross-Up Payments (an &#147;Underpayment&#148;). In the event that the 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 additional Gross-Up Payments that are due as a result thereof shall be promptly paid by the
Employer. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV STYLE="text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"><B>Section 9.</B><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inventions.</I><B></B> </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT
