In the event the Executive has not been employed by the Bank or Holding Company during all or part of the three immediately preceding years, the annual base salary paid to Executive for such periods shall, for purposes of this Section 3, be deemed to be equal to the Executive's initial base salary upon commencing employment adjusted to reflect assumed annual base salary increases of ten percent (10%). At the discretion of Executive, upon an election pursuant to Section 3(e) hereof, such payment may be made in a lump sum immediately upon severance of Executive's employment or paid, on a pro rata basis, semi-monthly during the thirty-six (36) months following the Executive's termination.
(b) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Bank or the Company followed at any time during the term of this Agreement by Executive's voluntary or involuntary termination of employment, other than for Termination for Cause, the Bank shall cause to be continued life, health and disability coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Bank for Executive prior to his severance. Such coverage shall cease upon the earlier of Executive's obtaining similar coverage by another employer or twelve (12) months from the date of Executive's termination. In the event the Executive obtains new employment and receives less coverage for life, health or disability, the Bank shall provide coverage substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Bank for the Executive prior to termination for a period of twelve (12) months.

(f) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3, in the event that:
(i) the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to Executive under said paragraphs (the "Termination Benefits") would be deemed to include an "excess parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") or any successor thereto, and
(ii) if such Termination Benefits were reduced to an amount (the "Non- Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times Executive's "base amount", as determined in accordance with said Section 280G, and the Non- Triggering Amount would be greater than the aggregate value of the Termination Benefits (without such reduction) minus the amount of tax required to be paid by Executive thereon by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Termination Benefits shall be reduced to the Non-Triggering Amount. The allocation of the reduction required hereby among the Termination Benefits provided by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 3 shall be determined by Executive. In the event that Executive receives the Non-Triggering Amount pursuant to this paragraph (f) and it is subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service or judicial authority that Executive is deemed to have received an amount in excess of the Non-Triggering Amount, the Bank or Company shall pay to Executive an amount equal to the value of the payments or benefits in excess of the Non-Triggering Amount he is so deemed to have received.
