1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;but for this Subsection (e), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section&nbsp;4999 of the Code, then the Executive&#146;s benefits under this Agreement shall be payable either
(1)&nbsp;in full, or (2)&nbsp;as to such lesser amount which would result in no portion of the such benefits being subject to excise tax under Section&nbsp;4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable
federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section&nbsp;4999, results in the receipt by the Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits under this Agreement, notwithstanding that all or some portion
of such benefits may be taxable under Section&nbsp;4999 of the Code. Unless Executive and the Company agree otherwise in writing, the determination of Executive&#146;s excise tax liability, if any, and the amount, if any, required to be paid under
this Subsection (e)&nbsp;will be made in writing by the independent auditors who are primarily used by the Company immediately prior to the Change of Control (the &#147;Accountants&#148;). For purposes of making the calculations required by this
Subsection (e), the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. Executive and the
Company agree to furnish such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Subsection (e). The Company will bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any
calculations contemplated by this Subsection (e). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
