If the Policy Is Cancelled. If the Policy is cancelled, surrendered, terminated, or allowed to lapse, in any such case without replacement, the Executive’s beneficiary designated in accordance with the Split Dollar Policy Endorsement shall be entitled to death proceeds payable by the Bank in an amount in cash equal to the sum of (1) the amount specified in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.2, measured at the time the Policy is cancelled, surrendered, terminated, or allowed to lapse, plus (2) a tax gross-up payment to compensate for federal and state taxes imposed on the benefit specified in clause (1) of this Section 2.2(b). The tax gross-up payment required under this clause (2) of Section 2.2(b) shall be calculated in two steps, first by dividing the total death benefit specified in clause (1) of this Section 2.2(b) by one minus the sum of (x) the highest marginal individual federal income tax rate under the Internal Revenue Code at the time of the Executive’s death (offset or reduced to account for the deductibility at the federal level of state income taxes), plus (y) the highest marginal individual state income tax rate under North Carolina law at the time of the Executive’s death. Second, the death benefit specified in clause (1) of this Section 2.2(b) shall then be subtracted from the amount calculated in that first step. The difference shall be the additional tax gross-up payment to be made to compensate for taxes, regardless of whether it exceeds or is less than taxes imposed on the Executive’s estate for “income in respect of a decedent.” To illustrate with a simple hypothetical based on an assumed death benefit amount of $100,000 paid directly by the Bank under clause (1) of this Section 2.2(b), the additional tax gross-up payment would be calculated as follows if the highest marginal individual income tax rates are 34% (federal) and 7.5% (North Carolina), taking into account the deductibility at the federal level of state income taxes: First Step: $ 100,000 / divided by (1 - ((34% + 7.5%) - (34% x 7.5%)) = $ 100,000 / divided by (1 minus 38.95%) = $ 100,000 / divided by 61.05%, or .6105 = $ 163,800 Second Step: $ 163,800 minus $ 100,000 = $ 63,800, the amount of the additional tax gross-up payment
