Such lump sum payment shall be required to be made within sixty (60) days following the Executive's separation from service, or if later, within sixty (60) days following a determination that such payment would be illegal or subject to penalties. (c) Unpaid compensation and benefits, and unused vacation, accrued through the date of Executive's termination of employment. Executive shall also be entitled to be reimbursed by the Bank for final expenses that Executive reasonably and necessarily incurred on behalf of the Bank prior to Executive's termination of employment, provided that Executive submits expense reports and supporting documentation of such expenses in accordance with the Bank's expense reimbursement policies in effect at that time. Such reimbursement payment or payments shall be made no later than the time required by applicable law (or, if earlier, by Bank or Company policy, practice or rule), but in no event later than the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive's date of the termination. (d) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs foregoing, no compensation and benefits shall be payable pursuant to both Sections 4 and 5 of this Section 5, in no event shall the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to Executive under this Agreement, either as a stand-alone benefit or when aggregated with other payments to, or for the benefit of Executive that are contingent on a Change in Control (the "Termination Benefits") constitute an "excess parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") or any successor thereto, and in order to avoid such a result, Termination Benefits will be reduced, if necessary, 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. In the event a reduction is necessary, the Executive shall be entitled to determine which benefits or payments shall be reduced or eliminated so the total parachute payments do not result in an excess parachute payment. If Executive does not make this determination within ten (10) business days after receiving a written request form the Bank (or by the time that benefits or payments are due hereunder, if later), the Bank may make such determination, and shall notify the Executive promptly thereof. In the event it is determined that permitting the Executive or the Bank to make the determination regarding the form or manner of reduction would violate Code Section 409A, such reduction shall be made pro rata.
