Exhibit 10.9



 Exhibit 10.9 
 Upon a motion by Mr. Novier, seconded by Mr. R. Frome and carried, the following Agreement for Deferment of Directors Fees was adopted. 

AGREEMENT FOR DEFERMENT OF DIRECTORS FEES 
 By resolution of the Board of Directors of Hamilton Federal Savings and Loan Association, the following agreement for the unfunded deferment of payment of directors fees has been adopted effective
January 1, 1984. 
 Section 1. PURPOSE—The purpose of the agreement is to provide an opportunity for the Directors to
accumulate wealth for retirement and to provide the use of funds for business activities. The agreement applies to all fees received: regular meeting fees, special meeting fees and committee fees. 

Section 2. PARTICIPANTS—All active Directors are eligible for participation. 

TERM OF THE AGREEMENT—The agreement is effective for calendar years beginning January 1, 1984, and will continue in
effect until terminated by action of the Board of Directors or other legal authority. 
 Section 3. ELECTIONS—Each Director may
elect on or before December 31, of any year to defer receipt of all or a specified part of his Director’s fees for the succeeding calendar year. An election to defer fees continues in all succeeding years unless the Director terminates the
election by written request. 
 Any person elected to fill a vacancy on the Board who was not previously a Director on the
preceding December 31, may elect, before his term begins, to defer all or a specified part of his fees for the balance of the calendar year following such election and for succeeding calendar years. 

Section 4. DEFERRAL OF FEES—On receipt of a written election by a Director, Hamilton Federal Savings and Loan Association will establish
an accounting record of the fees deferred by such Director. The deferred fees will be recorded as a current operating expense for accounting purposes but will not be deducted by Hamilton Federal Savings and Loan Association on its income tax returns
until the year of actual payment. An unfunded liability for deferred but unpaid fees and accumulated interest will be recorded on the books and records of Hamilton Federal Savings and Loan Association. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
create a trust of any kind. No participant shall have any right to receive any current or accumulated deferred compensation or interest for any year until such time as described in Section 6. To the extent that any person, including the
participant, acquired a right to receive payments from Hamilton Federal Savings and Loan Association under the Agreement such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of Hamilton Federal Savings and Loan
Association. Furthermore, such right may not be pledged, transferred or assigned in whole or in part. 
 Section 5.
INTEREST—Interest (based on the highest Savings Certificate rate when credited) on the deferred fees will be compounded daily and credited to the account of each Director monthly from the day the deferred fees were otherwise payable
until distribution of all deferred amounts. 
 Section 6. PAYMENT—The amounts deferred and the accumulated interest will be
distributed in annual installments (or quarterly installments if so elected) over a ten-year period (or over a lesser period if so elected) beginning with the first calendar year immediately following the year in which the Director ceases to be a
Director (or such earlier time if so elected at the time of the election to defer). Upon the death of a Director or former Director prior to the expiration of the payment period, the balance of his deferred fees and interest will be payable to his
beneficiary (as defined in Section 7(a)) in full on the first day of the next calendar year following his death. 







 If the beneficiary shall have predeceased the participant, or if a beneficiary has not been
designated by the participant, then the balance shall be payable in a lump sum to the participant’s estate in full on the first business day of the next calendar year following his death. 

In the event a participant ceases to be a Director and becomes disabled (as defined in Section 7(b)) or incurs other hardship, the
entire balance (or a portion) of his deferred fees, including interest, may, if directed by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, be paid to him immediately in a lump sum. 

In the event a Director ceases to be a Director and becomes an officer or director with any business that is in competition with the
corporation, the entire balance of his deferred fees, including interest, may, if directed by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, be paid to him immediately in a lump sum. 
 Section 7. DEFINITIONS 
  

	 	(a)	“Beneficiary” shall mean the person or persons designated in writing as such and filed with Hamilton Federal Savings and Loan Association at any time by the
participant. Any such designation may be withdrawn or changed in writing, but only the last designation on file with Hamilton Federal Savings and Loan Association shall be effective. 


 

	 	(b)	“Disability” shall mean the incapacity of the Participant to perform as a Director which would be appropriate for a person of his prior physical status,
intellectual ability or experience, due to a mental or physical disability which shall have been certified to by a physician acceptable to Hamilton Federal Savings and Loan Association. 


There being no further business to come before the meeting, a motion was duly made and seconded to adjourn.

 Proposed Amendment to “Agreement for Deferment of Directors Fees” and 

“Agreement for Deferment of Salaries” 
 The third paragraph of page 2 of each agreement would be amended as follows 
 In
the event a participant ceases to be a Director (Officer) and becomes disabled or if the participant incurs another hardship, the entire balance (or a portion) of his deferred fees (salary), including interest, may if directed by the Board of
Directors at its sole discretion be paid in a lump sum or in installments. If installment payments have begun and the participant incurs another hardship the installment payments may be accelerated at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.

 Subparagraph (c) would be added to Section 7. Definitions as follows 

“Other hardship” means a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident
of the Participant or of a dependent of the Participant, loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. The
circumstances that will constitute an “other hardship” would depend upon the facts of each case, but, in any case, payment may not be made in the event that such hardship is or may be relieved: 

 

	 	1)	Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, 

  

	 	2)	by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent that liquidation of such assets would not itself cause financial hardship, or 


 

	 	3)	by cessation of Deferrals under the Plan. 

 The need to send a Participant’s child to college or the desire to purchase a home shall not be an Unforeseeable Emergency.
