names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executives hall
have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the
terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s rules and procedures,

incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Plan Administrator may
direct distribution of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the
care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Plan Administrator
may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior
to distribution of the benefit. Any distribution of a benefit shall be a distribution for the
account of the Executive and the Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete
discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such distribution amount.

survivors, executors, administrators and transferees and the Bank and its successors and
assigns.
	 
	11.2	 	No Guarantee of Employment. This Agreement is not a contract for employment. It
does not give the Executive the right to remain as an employee of the Bank, nor does it

Executive to remain an employee nor interfere with the Executive’s right to terminate
employment at any time.

assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.

to be withheld, including but not limited to taxes owed under Section 409A of the Code and
regulations thereunder, from the benefits provided under this Agreement. Except as provided
to the contrary herein, the Executive acknowledges that the Bank’s sole liability regarding
taxes is to forward any amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authority(ies). Further,

not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.
	 
	11.11	 	Validity. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be illegal or invalid for
