In the event\nthat Executive is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting\nFirm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment, if any, that has occurred\nand any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the\nbenefit of Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of\nSection 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, at the time of the\ninitial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that at a\nlater time there will be a determination that the Gross-Up Payments made by the\nCompany were more than the Gross-Up Payments that should have been made by the\nCompany (\"Overpayment\"), consistent with the calculations required to be made\nhereunder. Executive agrees to refund the Company the amount of any Overpayment\nthat the Accounting Firm shall determine has occurred hereunder. Any good faith\ndetermination by the Accounting Firm as to the amount of any Gross-Up Payment,\nincluding the amount of any Underpayment or Overpayment, shall be binding upon\nthe Company and Executive.\n\n         (iii) Any payment not made to Executive when due hereunder shall\nthereafter, until paid in full, bear interest at the rate of interest equal to\nthe reference rate announced from time to\n\n\n                                       6\n\n\n\ntime by Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association, plus two percent, with\nsuch interest to be paid to Executive upon demand or monthly in the absence of a\ndemand.\n\n         (iv) Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any\npayment provided for in this Section 4 by seeking other employment or otherwise.\nThe amount of any payment or benefit provided in this section 4 shall not be\nreduced by any compensation earned by Executive as a result of any employment by\nanother employer, by any retirement benefits or otherwise.\n\n         5.

Failure of the\nCompany to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such\nsuccession shall be a\n\n\n\n                                       7\n\n\nbreach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive to compensation from the\nCompany in the same amount and on the same terms as Executive would be entitled\nhereunder if Executive terminated employment after a Change in Control for Good\nReason, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on\nwhich any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the date that the\ntermination of Executive's employment becomes effective. As used in this\nAgreement, \"Company\" shall mean the Company and any successor to its business\nand\/or assets which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this\nSection 6(i) or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of\nthis Agreement by operation of law.\n\n         (ii) This Agreement is personal to Executive, and Executive may not\nassign or transfer any part of Executive's rights or duties hereunder, or any\ncompensation due to him hereunder, to any other person. Notwithstanding the\nforegoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by\nExecutive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs,\ndistributees, devisees, and legatees.\n\n         7.
