Six-Month Delay Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Plan by reason of a Participant’s separation from service during a period in which he or she is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Company under Treas. Reg. [Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ii)])] (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes):

Delay in Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, # if upon the date of a Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined for purposes of Code sections 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) and 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)) with the Company and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates the Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code section 409A (determined by applying the default rules applicable under such Code section except to the extent such rules are modified by a written resolution that is adopted by the Committee and that applies for purposes of all deferred compensation plans of the Company and its affiliates), and the deferral of any amounts otherwise payable under Plan as a result of Participant’s separation from service is necessary to prevent any accelerated or additional tax to the Participant under Code section 409A, then the Company shall defer the payment of any such amounts hereunder until the date that is six (6) months following the date of the Participant’s separation from service, at which time any such delayed amounts shall be paid or provided to the Participant and # if any other payments of money or other Awards or benefits due to a Participant hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Code section 409A, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred and paid on the first day that would not result in the Participant incurring any tax liability under Code section 409A if such deferral would make such payment or other benefits compliant under Code section 409A.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if and to the extent that any payment or benefit under this Agreement is determined by the Employer to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to section 409A of the Code, this Agreement shall be administered accordingly, and any such payment provided to an employee who is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of section 409A of the Code and as determined pursuant to procedures established by the Employer) must be delayed for six months from the Date of Termination to comply with [section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)] of the Code. The Employer shall set aside those payments or benefits that would have been made but for payment delay required by the preceding sentence, and such amounts will be paid at the end of the delay.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if at the time of a Participant's “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), the Participant is a "Specified Employee," then the Company will defer the payment of any nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A payable upon separation from service (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to the Participant) until the date that is six (6) months following separation from service or, if earlier, the earliest other date as is permitted under Code Section 409A (and any amounts that otherwise would have been paid during this deferral period will be paid in a lump sum on the day after the expiration of the six (6) month period or such shorter period, if applicable). A Participant will be a "Specified Employee" for purposes of this Plan if, on the date of the Participant's separation from service, the Participant is an individual who is, under the method of determination adopted by the Company designated as, or within the category of employees deemed to be, a "Specified Employee" within the meaning and in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i). The Company shall determine in its sole discretion all matters relating to who is a "Specified Employee" and the application of and effects of the change in such determination.

Six-Month Delay. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, at the time of Employee’s termination of employment with Employer, he is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, and one or more of the payments or benefits received or to be received by Employee upon such termination pursuant to this Agreement would constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, no such payment or benefit will be provided under this Agreement until the earlier of # the date that is six (6) months following Employee’s termination of employment with Employer and # Employee’s death. The provisions of this Section 21 shall apply only to the extent required to avoid Employee’s incurrence of any penalty tax or interest under Section 409A.

Six-Month Delay. If it is determined that # Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and (ii) payments payable upon a separation from service constitute a distribution of deferred compensation (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)) upon “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)), after taking into account all available exemptions, then notwithstanding the timing of payment provided in any other Section of this Agreement, no payment, distribution or benefit under this Agreement that constitutes a distribution of nonqualified deferred compensation on account of such separation from service and that would otherwise be payable during the six (6) month period after such separation from service will be made during such six (6) month period, and any such payment, distribution or benefit, which accrued during such six (6) month period, will instead be paid in a lump sum on the first business day after such six (6) month period ends or, if earlier, upon Executive’s death.

Certain Required Payment Delays. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and a payment provided for in this Plan would be subject to additional tax under Section 409A of the Code if such payment is paid within six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service, then such payment required under this Plan shall not be paid (or commence) during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s Separation from Service. In such an event, any payments that would otherwise have been made during such six-month period and which would have incurred such additional tax under Section 409A of the Code shall instead be paid to the Participant in a lump-sum cash payment, with interest calculated at the six month London Interbank Offered Rate (as in effect at the time of the Participant’s Separation from Service), on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s Separation from Service.

Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits that are “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A shall be paid to the Employee during the six (6)-month period following his “separation from service” (within the meaning of [Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i)] of the Code) to the extent that the Company determines that the Employee is a “specified employee” and that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i). If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such six (6)-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Code Section 409A without being subject to such additional taxes, including as a result of the Employee’s death), the Company shall pay to the Employee a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to the Employee during such six (6)-month period.

Six-Month Delay. To the extent the Executive is a "specified employee," as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) ("Code [Section 409A]") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and other guidance promulgated hereunder (the "Code") and any elections made by the Bank in accordance therewith, notwithstanding the timing of payment provided in any other section of this Agreement, no payment, distribution or benefit under this Agreement that constitutes a distribution of deferred compensation (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-l(b)) upon the Executive's "separation from service" (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section l.409A-l(h)), after taking into account all available exemptions, that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period after separation from service, will be made during such six-month period, and any such payment, distribution or benefit will instead be paid on the first business day after such six-month period (the "Delayed Payment Date"); provided, however, that if the Executive dies following the date of termination but prior to the Delayed Payment Date, such amounts shall be paid to the personal representative of Executive's estate within thirty (30) days following the Executive's death.

If any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” under Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) [Section 409A] would be payable under this Agreement by reason of Executive’s “separation from service” during a period in which Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A as determined by the Company), then any payment or benefits will be delayed until the earliest date on which they could be paid or distributed without being subject to penalty taxation under Code Section 409A.
