Limitation on Payments Under Certain Circumstances. (i) In the event the receipt of all payments or distributions in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 280G(b)(2)), whether paid or payable pursuant to Agreement or otherwise (the “Change in Control Benefits”) would subject Executive to an excise tax imposed by Code Sections 280G and 4999, then the payments and/or benefits payable under this Agreement (the “Payments”) shall be reduced by the minimum amount necessary so that no portion of the Payments under this Agreement are non-deductible to the Bank pursuant to Code Section 280G and subject to the excise tax imposed under Code Section 4999 of the Code (the “Reduced Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Payments shall not be reduced if it is determined that without such reduction, the Change in Control Benefits received by Executive on a net after-tax basis (including without limitation, any excise taxes payable under Code Section 4999) is greater than the Change in Control Benefits that Executive would receive, on a net after-tax benefit, if Executive is paid the Reduced Amount under the Agreement. (ii) If it is determined that the Payments should be reduced since Executive would not have a greater net after-tax amount of aggregate Payments, the Bank shall promptly give Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculations thereof. All determinations made under this Section 5 shall be binding upon Executive and shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than ten (10) days prior to the Date of Termination.
