Section 280G of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (or any other agreement entered into by and between Executive and the Company or any incentive arrangement or plan offered by the Company), in the event that any amount or benefit paid or distributed to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, taken together with any amounts or benefits otherwise paid to Executive by the Company (collectively, the "Covered Payments"), would constitute an "excess parachute payment" as defined in Section 280G ...of the Code, and would thereby subject Executive to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (an "Excise Tax"), the provisions of this Section 10 shall apply.
