Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#8220;Code&#8221;), and would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section&#160;4999
of the Code, the payments or benefits will be reduced by the amount required to avoid the excise tax, if such reduction would give
Mr. Yarad a better after-tax result than if he received the full payments and benefits and paid the excise tax.</p>
