Employee would receive from MIKOHN pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (&#147;Payment&#148;) would (i) constitute a &#147;parachute payment&#148; within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
&#147;Code&#148;), and (ii) be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the &#147;Excise Tax&#148;), then the Employee will receive an additional payment (the &#147;Gross-up&#148;) from MIKOHN such that after taking into
account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, the Excise Tax and all applicable taxes on the Gross-up (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Employee&#146;s receipt, on an after-tax
basis, of the full amount of the Payment. MIKOHN&#146;s principal outside accounting firm or principal outside tax advisors, as selected by MIKOHN and Employee, will make all determinations hereunder and shall provide its calculations, together with
detailed supporting documentation, to MIKOHN and the Employee within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which the Employee&#146;s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by MIKOHN or Employee) or such other time as
requested by MIKOHN or the Employee. The accounting firm or tax advisors shall furnish MIKOHN and the Employee with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Employee regarding the application of the Excise Tax to such Payment. MIKOHN shall be
entitled to rely upon the accounting firm&#146;s or tax advisors&#146; determinations, as applicable, which shall be final, binding and conclusive on Employee and MIKOHN. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
