Any determination required under this Section 20 shall be made in writing in good faith by the Company&#39;s independent certified public accountants, appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under Code Section 280G(b)(2), and/or tax counsel selected by such accountants (the &#8220;Accounting Firm&#8221;) in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code. In the event of a reduction of Payments hereunder, the Payments shall be reduced as follows: (i) first from cash payments which are included in full as parachute payments, (ii) second from equity awards which are included in full as parachute payments, (iii) third from cash payments which are partially included as parachute payments, and (iv) fourth from equity awards that are partially included as parachute payments. In applying these principles, any reduction or elimination of the Payments shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 20, the Accounting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code, and other applicable legal authority. The Company and Employee shall furnish to the Accounting Firm such information and documents as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 20. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.<BR><BR>If, notwithstanding any reduction described in this Section 20, the Internal Revenue Service (the &#8220;IRS&#8221;) determines that Employee is liable for the Excise Tax as a result of the receipt of the Payments as described above, then Employee shall be obligated to pay back to the Company, within thirty (30) days after a final IRS determination or in the event that Employee challenges the final IRS determination, a final judicial determination, a portion of the Payments equal to the &#8220;Repayment Amount.&#8221; The Repayment Amount with respect to the Payments shall be the smallest such amount, if any, as shall be required to be paid to the Company so that Employee&#39;s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments (after taking into account the payment of the Excise Tax and all other applicable taxes imposed on such payment) shall be maximized. The Repayment Amount with respect to the Payments shall be zero if a Repayment Amount of more than zero would not result in Employee&#8217;s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments being maximized. If the Excise Tax is not eliminated pursuant to this paragraph, Employee shall pay the Excise Tax.<BR><BR>Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 20, if (i) there is a reduction in the Payments as described in this Section 20, (ii) the IRS later determines that Employee is liable for the Excise Tax, the payment of which would result in the maximization of Employee&#8217;s net after-tax proceeds (calculated as if Employee&#8217;s Payments had not previously been reduced), and (iii) Employee pays the Excise Tax, then the Company shall pay to Employee those Payments which were reduced pursuant to this subsection as soon as administratively possible after Employee pays the Excise Tax so that Employee&#8217;s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments are maximized.</FONT></P>

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit, vesting or distribution to or for the benefit of Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a &#8220;Payment&#8221;) would but for this Section 20 be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#8220;Code&#8221;), or any comparable successor provisions (the &#8220;Excise Tax&#8221;), then the Payments shall be either (i) provided to Employee in full, or (ii) provided to Employee as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, when taking into account applicable income and employment taxes, the Excise Tax, and any other applicable taxes, results in the receipt by Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of Payments, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. Any determination required under this Section 20 shall be made in writing in good faith by the Company&#39;s independent certified public accountants, appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under Code Section 280G(b)(2), and/or tax counsel selected by such accountants (the &#8220;Accounting Firm&#8221;) in accordance with the principles of Section 280G of the Code. In the event of a reduction of Payments hereunder, the Payments shall be reduced as follows: (i) first from cash payments which are included in full as parachute payments, (ii) second from equity awards which are included in full as parachute payments, (iii) third from cash payments which are partially included as parachute payments, and (iv) fourth from equity awards that are partially included as parachute payments. In applying these principles, any reduction or elimination of the Payments shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 20, the Accounting Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code, and other applicable legal authority. The Company and Employee shall furnish to the Accounting Firm such information and documents as the Accounting Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 20. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.<BR><BR>If, notwithstanding any reduction described in this Section 20, the Internal Revenue Service (the &#8220;IRS&#8221;) determines that Employee is liable for the Excise Tax as a result of the receipt of the Payments as described above, then Employee shall be obligated to pay back to the Company, within thirty (30) days after a final IRS determination or in the event that Employee challenges the final IRS determination, a final judicial determination, a portion of the Payments equal to the &#8220;Repayment Amount.&#8221; The Repayment Amount with respect to the Payments shall be the smallest such amount, if any, as shall be required to be paid to the Company so that Employee&#39;s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments (after taking into account the payment of the Excise Tax and all other applicable taxes imposed on such payment) shall be maximized. The Repayment Amount with respect to the Payments shall be zero if a Repayment Amount of more than zero would not result in Employee&#8217;s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments being maximized. If the Excise Tax is not eliminated pursuant to this paragraph, Employee shall pay the Excise Tax.<BR><BR>Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 20, if (i) there is a reduction in the Payments as described in this Section 20, (ii) the IRS later determines that Employee is liable for the Excise Tax, the payment of which would result in the maximization of Employee&#8217;s net after-tax proceeds (calculated as if Employee&#8217;s Payments had not previously been reduced), and (iii) Employee pays the Excise Tax, then the Company shall pay to Employee those Payments which were reduced pursuant to this subsection as soon as administratively possible after Employee pays the Excise Tax so that Employee&#8217;s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payments are maximized.</FONT></P>

In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company&#39;s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, the Committee shall require reimbursement or forfeiture of shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock which have been earned and/or which have vested pursuant to this Agreement during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement and any transition period within such time period. The amount to be recovered will be the excess of the number of shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock earned and/or vested based on the erroneous data over the shares of Performance-Based Restricted Stock that would have been earned and vested had it been based on the restated results, as determined by the Committee.&nbsp; The Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the method for recouping the Performance-Based Restricted Stock hereunder which may include, without limitation: (i) seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock; (ii) offsetting the recouped amount from any compensation otherwise owed by the Company to the Employee; (iii) cancelling outstanding vested or unvested share of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock; or (iv) taking any other remedial and recovery action permitted by law, as determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall recoup or recover any erroneously issued Performance-Based Restricted Stock in accordance with any incentive compensation recoupment or recovery policy adopted in the future by the Company pursuant to Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange, or any national securities exchange on which the Company&#8217;s Common Stock is then-listed. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section A.8 and such a policy, the terms of the policy shall govern the recoupment or recovery of the Performance-Based Restricted Stock.</FONT></P>
