Limitation of Benefits under Certain Circumstances If the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which Executive has the right to receive from the Company and the Bank, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12 shall be reduced or revised, in the manner determined by Executive, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits under Section 12 being non-deductible to the Company and the Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. The determination of any reduction in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section 12 shall be based upon the opinion of the Company and the Bank’s independent public accountants and paid for by the Company and the Bank. In the event that the Company, the Bank and/or Executive do not agree with the opinion of such counsel, (i) the Company and the Bank shall pay to Executive the maximum amount of payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12, as selected by Executive, which such opinion indicates there is a high probability do not result in any of such payments and benefits being non-deductible to the Company and the Bank and subject to the imposition of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code and (ii) the Company and the Bank may request, and Executive shall have the right to demand that they request, a ruling from the IRS as to whether the disputed payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12 have such consequences. Any such request for a ruling from the IRS shall be promptly prepared and filed by the Company and the Bank, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of the opinion of counsel referred to above, and shall be subject to Executive’s approval prior to filing, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company, the Bank and Executive agree to be bound by any ruling received from the IRS and to make appropriate payments to each other to reflect any such rulings, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. Nothing contained herein shall result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment other than pursuant to Section 12 hereof, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified in Section 12 below zero.

WITHDRAWAL PROVISIONS At or before the Income Date, the Owner may withdraw all or part of the amounts under this Contract by informing the Company at the Service Center. For full withdrawal, this Contract, or a completed Lost Contract Affidavit, must be returned to the Service Center. Premiums withdrawn from the Contract Value may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge and Recapture Charge as explained in more detail below. Premiums that are no longer subject to the Withdrawal Charge and Recapture Charge (and not previously withdrawn), plus earnings may be withdrawn free of Withdrawal Charges and Recapture Charges at any time. Upon full withdrawal, the Owner will receive the Withdrawal Value. The Withdrawal Value will be based on values at the end of the Business Day in which the request for withdrawal is received at the Service Center in Good Order. In no event shall the amount withdrawn, whether a full withdrawal or partial withdrawal, exceed the Withdrawal Value. Except in connection with a systematic withdrawal program, the minimum partial withdrawal amount is $500, or if less, the Owner's entire interest in the Investment Division or Fixed Account Option from which a withdrawal is requested. The Owner's interest in the Investment Division or Fixed Account Option from which the withdrawal is requested must be at least [$100] after the withdrawal is completed or the Owner's entire interest in the Investment Division or Fixed Account Option will be withdrawn. Unless otherwise specified, the withdrawal will be made from each Investment Division and each Fixed Account Option in proportion to their current value. Withdrawals will be based on values at the end of the Business Day on which the request for withdrawal is received in Good Order at the Service Center. The Company will waive the Withdrawal Charge and Recapture Charge on any withdrawal necessary to satisfy the minimum distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Any withdrawal in excess of the required minimum distribution will cause the entire amount to be subject to any applicable Withdrawal Charge and Recapture Charge. You may elect to take a systematic withdrawal by surrendering a specific sum or a certain percentage on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis, subject to a $50 minimum withdrawal. Such withdrawals will be counted in determining the portion of the Contract Value taken as an Additional Free Withdrawal. Systematic withdrawals in excess of the Additional Free Withdrawal amount may be subject to a Withdrawal Charge and Recapture Charge.
Limitation on Benefits (a) It is the intention of the Executive and of the Employers that no payments by the Employers to or for the benefit of the Executive under this Agreement and/or any other agreement or plan pursuant to which the Executive is entitled to receive payments or benefits shall be non-deductible to the Employers by reason of the operation of Section 280G of the Code relating to parachute payments. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any such agreement or plan, if by reason of the operation of said Section 280G, any such payments exceed the amount which can be deducted by the Employers in the aggregate, such payments shall be reduced to the maximum amount which can be deducted by the Employers. To the extent that payments exceeding such maximum deductible amount have been made to or for the benefit of the Executive, such excess payments shall be refunded to the Employers with interest thereon at the applicable Federal Rate determined under Section 1274(d) of the Code, compounded annually, or at such other rate as may be required in order that no such payments shall be non-deductible to the Employers by reason of the operation of said Section 280G. To the extent that there is more than one method of reducing the payments to bring them within the limitations of said Section 280G, the Executive shall determine which method shall be followed, provided that if the Executive fails to make such determination within forty-five days after the Employers have sent him written notice of the need for such reduction, the Employers may determine the method of such reduction in their sole discretion.
