jurisdiction; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that no such determination shall
eliminate or reduce the Company&#146;s obligation to provide any Gross-Up Payment
that shall be due as a result of such contrary determination.&#160; As a result of the uncertainty in the
application of Section&nbsp;4999 of the Code (or any successor provision
thereto) and the possibility of similar uncertainty regarding state or local
tax law at the time of any determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it
is possible that Gross-Up Payments that will not have been made by the Company
should have been made (an &#147;Underpayment&#148;), consistent with the calculations
required to be made hereunder.&#160; In the
event that the Company exhausts or fails to pursue its remedies pursuant to Section&nbsp;6(a)&nbsp;hereof
and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax,
the Executive shall direct the Accounting Firm to determine the amount of the
Underpayment that has occurred and to submit its determination and detailed
supporting calculations to both the Company and the Executive as promptly as
possible.&#160; Any such Underpayment shall be
promptly paid by the Company to, or for the benefit of, the Executive within
five business days after receipt of such determination and calculations.</font></p>
