2
however,
that this provision shall not apply if another corporation is a majority
shareholder of the Corporation
If
any
one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to

purposes of this subsection (iii) and except as otherwise provided in paragraph

offering. However, persons will be considered to be acting as a group
if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation,
purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the

Litigation
Expenses. Any legal Expenses incurred by the Executive or
any Beneficiary relating to the enforcement or enforceability of
any
benefit obligations hereunder shall be paid or reimbursed by the
Bank to
the extent permitted by law; provided however, that except as
provided below, the maximum aggregate payment and reimbursement
of legal
expenses under this Section 9.14 with respect to the Executive
or any
Beneficiary shall not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000); provided
further, that this Ten Thousand Dollar ($10,000) limitation shall

or
any Beneficiary which were paid or reimbursed by the Bank under
any other
plan or arrangement entered into by the Bank and
Executive. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section
9.14 to the contrary, the Executive or any Beneficiary shall be
entitled
to payment or reimbursement of legal expenses in excess of Ten
Thousand
Dollars ($10,000) if the expenses were incurred as a result of

|
Compliance
with Section 409A. This Agreement shall at all times be

280G
Limits. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event that the Bank’s independent public
accountants determine that any payment by the Bank to or for the
benefit
of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to the terms
of this
Agreement, would be non-deductible by the Bank for federal income
tax
purposes because of Section 280G of the Code, then the amount payable
to
or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement
shall be
reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount. For
purposes of this Section 9.16, the “Reduced Amount” shall be the amount
which maximizes the amount payable without causing the payment
to be
non-deductible by the Bank because of Section 280G of the
Code.
