successor provision of the Code) or any interest or penalties with respect to
such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and

all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such
taxes), including any Excise Tax imposed upon the Excise Gross-Up Payment, the
Executive retains an amount of the Excise Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise
Tax imposed upon the Payments.&#160; Subject
to the provisions of this Section 10, all determinations required to be made
hereunder, including whether an Excise Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount
of such Excise Gross-Up Payment, shall be made by KPMG LLP or such other
nationally recognized accounting firm as may be designated by the Company (the &#147;<u>Accounting

supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive within 15
business days of the date of termination of the Executive&#146;s employment under
this Agreement, if applicable, or such earlier time as is requested by the
Company.&#160; If the Accounting Firm
determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive, the Accounting Firm
shall furnish the Executive with an opinion that he or she has substantial
authority not to report any Excise Tax on his or her federal income tax
return.&#160; Any determination by the
Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Executive.&#160; As a result of the uncertainty in the
application of Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision of the
Code) at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
hereunder, it is possible that Excise Gross-Up Payments which will not have
been made by the Company should have been made (an &#147;<u>Underpayment</u>&#148;),
consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder.&#160; If the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant
hereto and 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 such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to
or for the benefit of the Executive.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Because the
payment exceeds three times the executive&#146;s base amount, the payment is subject
to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.&#160; However, if the payment were reduced by
$50,001, no excise tax would be payable because the payment would not equal or
exceed three times the executive&#146;s base amount.&#160;
Because $50,001 is a 10% or less reduction of the payment, the Company
is permitted to make the reduction pursuant to the second paragraph of Section
10 of the Agreement.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Subject
Amount in this illustration is $2.5 billion, and 2% of the Subject Amount is
$50 million.&#160; Because the Total Executive
Payments exceed 2% of the Subject Amount, they are subject to reduction
pursuant to Section 11 of the Agreement.&#160;
As to any executive, the reduction would be effected pursuant to the
following formula:&#160; (2% of $2.5 billion)
times ((the Total Executive Payments allocable to him or her) divided by $60
million).&#160; For example, if the Total
Executive Payments allocable to an executive in the transaction were $15
million, his or her Reduced Amount would be $12,500,000.&#160; If the Total Executive Payments allocable to
another executive in the transaction were $1 million, that executive&#146;s Total
Executive Payments would be reduced to $833,333.33.&#160; (Note that, as to each executive, the ratio
of the Reduced Amount to the Total Executive Payments is the same (in this
illustration, .83333).)&#160; The effect of
these reductions would be that the aggregate Reduced Amount for the ten
executives equal $50,000,000.</font></p>
