Application of Golden Parachute Limits. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company or its successor to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (such excise tax, together with any interest thereon, any penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts with respect to such excise tax, and any interest in respect of such penalties, additions to tax or additional amounts, being collectively referred herein to as the “Excise Tax”), then if the aggregate of all Payments that would be subject to the Excise Tax, reduced by all Federal, state and local taxes applicable thereto, including the Excise Tax is less than the amount Executive would receive, after all such applicable taxes, if Executive received Payments equal to an amount which is less than three times the Executive’s “base amount”, as defined in and determined under [Section 280G] of the Code, then, such Payments shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent necessary so that the aggregate Payments received by Executive will not be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in the Payments is necessary, reduction shall occur in the following order: first, a reduction of cash payments not attributable to equity awards which vest in an accelerated basis; second, a reduction in any other cash amount payable to Executive; third, the reduction of any employee benefit valued as a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code); and fourth, the cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards. If acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive’s stock awards. All determinations made under this [Section 4.6.4] and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations shall be made by a registered public accounting firm designated by Executive and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Accounting Firm”). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company or its successor.

Golden Parachute Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any portion of the Severance Benefits or any other payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement) (collectively, the "Total Benefits") would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") (the "Excise Tax"), the Total Benefits shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Benefits is subject to the Excise Tax; provided, however, that no such reduction in the Total Benefits shall be made if by not making such reduction, Executive's Retained Amount (as hereinafter defined) would be more than ten percent (10%) greater than Executive's Retained Amount if the Total Benefits are so reduced. All determinations required to be made under this [Section 7.04] shall be made by tax counsel selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive ("Tax Counsel"), which determinations shall be conclusive and binding on Executive and the Company absent manifest error. All fees and expenses of Tax Counsel shall be borne solely by the Company. Prior to any reduction in Executive's Total Benefits pursuant to this [Section 7.04], Tax Counsel shall provide Executive and the Company with a report setting forth its calculations and containing related supporting information. In the event any such reduction is required, the Total Benefits shall be reduced in the following order: # the Severance Amount (in reverse order of payment), # any portion of the Total Benefits that are not subject to Section 409A of the Code (other than Total Benefits resulting from any accelerated vesting of equity awards), # other Total Benefits that are subject to Section 409A of the Code in reverse order of payment, and # Total Benefits that are not subject to Section 409A and arise from any accelerated vesting of any equity awards. "Retained Amount" shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with [[sections 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 280G(d)(4)])]])] of the Code) of the Total Benefits net of all federal, state and local taxes imposed on Executive with respect thereto.

[Section 280G] Golden Parachute. If, in the good faith determination of the Company’s independent certified public accountants (the “Accountants”), the Employee may be obligated to satisfy taxes (“Excise Taxes”) under [Sections 280G] and/or 4999 of the Code with respect to the Severance Benefit, the Pro-Rata Bonus, the Benefit Continuation and/or any other payments or benefits to the Employee in the nature of compensation that are contingent on a change in ownership or effective control of FUSB or the Bank or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of FUSB or the Bank (the “Aggregate Severance”), then the Aggregate Severance shall be either # provided in full pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable agreement, or # provided as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Aggregate Severance being subject to the Excise Taxes (“Reduced Amount”), whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state, local and foreign income, employment and other taxes and the Excise Taxes (including, without limitation, any interest or penalties on such taxes), results in the receipt by the Employee, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of payments and benefits provided for hereunder or otherwise, notwithstanding that all or some portion of

In the event that any payment or benefit that Executive is eligible to receive from the , including but not limited to payments and benefits stated herein in this Agreement, is included in the calculation ofparachute payments” and may be subjected to the excise tax under the Golden Parachute Laws (“Payment”), the total of such Payments that the Executive is entitled to receive shall be subjected to a Maximum Limit. The Maximum Limit shall be the largest amount which would result in no Payment being subject to any excise tax under the Golden Parachute Laws.

Golden Parachute Laws means any statutes, regulations, or case law relating to Parachute payments, including but not limited to Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any similar or successor provisions to [Section 280G] or [Section 4999] and [Section 1.280G] of the Income Tax Regulations relating to [Section 280G].

Parachute Awards. Notwithstanding the provisions of [Section 7(e)(i)(A)], if, in connection with an Acquisition described therein, a tax under Section 4999 of the Code would be imposed on the Participant (after taking into account the exceptions set forth in Sections 280G(b)(4) and 280G(b)(5) of the Code), then the number of Awards that shall become exercisable, realizable or vested as provided in such section shall be reduced (or delayed), to the minimum extent necessary, so that no such tax would be imposed on the Participant (the Awards not becoming so accelerated, realizable or vested, the “Parachute Awards”); provided, however, that if the “aggregate present value” of the Parachute Awards would exceed the tax that, but for this sentence, would be imposed on the Participant under Section 4999 of the Code in connection with the Acquisition, then the Awards shall become immediately exercisable, realizable and vested without regard to the provisions of this sentence. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “aggregate present value” of an Award shall be calculated on an after-tax basis (other than taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Code) and shall be based on economic principles rather than the principles set forth under Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. All determinations required to be made under this [Section 7(e)(iii)] shall be made by .

Parachute Cap. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any payment, benefit, or amount payable or benefit to be provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement that is a “Parachute Payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, will be reduced to the extent necessary so that the benefits payable or to be provided to Executive under this Agreement that are treated as Parachute Payments as well as any payments or benefits provided outside of this Agreement that are so treated will not cause the Corporation to have paid an “Excess Parachute Payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. If it is established that an “Excess Parachute Payment” has occurred or will occur under this Agreement or otherwise, the Corporation will reduce the amount of any remaining Parachute Payments to be made to ensure that the total payments to Executive do not exceed 2.99 times Executive’s “base amount” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code.
