Such payment shall not be reduced in the event the Executive obtains other employment following a Separation from Service. (b) In addition to the cash lump sum, the Bank shall provide the Executive with continued non-taxable medical and dental coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Bank for the Executive and his eligible dependents prior to the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service. Such coverage shall continue for a period of thirty-six (36) months after the date of Separation from Service unless the Executive obtains other employment following Separation from Service under which substantially similar benefits are provided and in which the Executive and his eligible dependents are eligible to participate. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if applicable law (including, but not limited to, laws prohibiting discriminating in favor of highly compensated employees), or, if participation by the Executive and his eligible dependents is not permitted under the terms of the applicable health plans, or if providing such benefits would subject the Bank to penalties, then the Bank shall pay the Executive a cash lump sum payment reasonably estimated to be equal to the value of such non-taxable medical and dental benefits, with such payment to be made by lump sum within thirty (30) business days after the Separation from Service, or if later, the date on which the Bank determines that such insurance coverage (or the remainder of such insurance coverage) cannot be provided for the foregoing reasons. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) and (b) above, if the Executive is a “Disqualified Individual” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and the Severance Payment is in an amount which includes an “Excess Parachute Payment” within the meaning of Code Section 280G, the Severance Payment hereunder to Executive shall be reduced to the maximum amount which does not include an Excess Parachute Payment. In the event any change in the Code or regulations thereunder should reduce the amount of payments permissible under Code Section 280G on the Effective Date, then the Severance Payment that is payable shall be determined as if such change in the Code or regulations had not been made. The allocation of the reduction of any aggregate payments or benefits of this Section 2 shall be determined by the Executive, provided, however, that if it is determined that such election by the Executive shall be in violation of Code Section 409A, the allocation of the required reduction shall be pro-rata. (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) and (b) above, no payments shall be made hereunder if the Bank is not in compliance with its minimum capital requirements or if such payments would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below its minimum capital requirements.
