the extent of its interest, exercise the right to borrow or withdraw on the
Policy cash values. Where the Bank and the Insured (or assignee, with the

to such increased coverage shall continue to be subject to the terms of this
Agreement.

Beneficiary Designation Form completed by the Insured under the Prior Agreement

premium payments that might become necessary to keep the Policy in force.
V.
TAXABLE BENEFIT

administrator) will report to the Insured the amount of imputed income each year
on Form W-2 or its equivalent.
VI.
DIVISION OF DEATH PROCEEDS

Subject to Paragraphs VII and IX herein, the division of the Policy death
proceeds shall be follows:
A.
Upon the death of the Insured prior to a Termination of Employment with the
Bank, the Insured's beneficiary(ies), designated in accordance with Paragraph
III, shall be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the
Retirement Benefit under that certain Third Amended Executive Salary
Continuation Agreement between the Bank and Insured dated concurrently herewith
(the “Salary Continuation Agreement”), assuming that the payments would begin on
the date of death and continue for one hundred and eighty months, or one hundred
percent (100%) of the total Policy proceeds, whichever amount is less. Present
value calculations shall be made using the assumptions set forth in Section
IX(K) of the Salary Continuation Agreement.

B.
Upon the death of the Insured following Retirement or Termination of Employment
with the Bank, the Insured's beneficiary(ies), designated in accordance with
Paragraph III, shall be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to the present
value of one hundred percent (100%) of the sum of all remaining payments, if
any, that would have been made under the Salary Continuation Agreement but for
the Insured's death, or one hundred percent (100%) of the total Policy proceeds,
whichever amount is less. Present value calculations shall be made using the
assumptions set forth in Section IX(K) of the Salary Continuation Agreement.

C.
The Bank shall be entitled to the remainder of the insurance Policy proceeds
payable on the death of the Insured.

D.
The Bank and the Insured (or assignees) shall share in any interest due on the

set forth in the Salary Continuation Agreement.

VII.
DIVISION OF THE CASH SURRENDER VALUE OF THE POLICY

During the life of the Insured, the Bank shall at all times be entitled to an
amount equal to the Policy's cash value, as that term is defined in the Policy
contract, less any Policy loans and unpaid interest outstanding, cash
withdrawals previously taken by the Bank, and any applicable surrender charges.
Such cash value shall be determined as of the date of surrender. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, upon the Insured's death, the Policy proceeds shall first be used
to satisfy the obligations to the Insured's beneficiaries set forth in Paragraph
VI.
VIII.
RIGHTS OF PARTIES WHERE POLICY ENDOWMENT OR ANNUITY ELECTION EXISTS

In the event the Policy involves an endowment or annuity element, the Bank’s
right and interest in any endowment proceeds or annuity benefits, on expiration
of the deferment period, shall be determined under the provisions of this
Agreement by regarding such endowment proceeds or the commuted value of such
annuity benefits as the Policy's cash value. Any endowment proceeds or annuity
benefits shall be considered to be like death proceeds for purposes of division
under this Agreement.
