	 	2.4.2	 	Distribution of Benefit. The Bank shall distribute the benefit to the
Executive in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following Separation from Service.
	 
	 	2.4.3	 	 Excess Parachute Payment Gross-up. If it is determined, in the
opinion of the Company’s independent accountants, in consultation, if necessary, with
the Company’s independent legal counsel, that any amount paid under this Agreement in
connection with a Termination Upon Change of Control, either separately or in
conjunction with any other payments, benefits and entitlements received by the
Executive in respect of a Change of Control hereunder or under any other plan or
agreement under which the Executive participates or to which he is a party, would
constitute an “Excess Parachute Payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and would thereby be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then in such event,
the Company shall pay to the Executive a “grossing-up” amount equal to the amount of
such Excise Tax, plus all federal and state income or other taxes with respect to the
payment of the amount of such Excise Tax, including all such taxes with respect to any
such grossing-up amount. If, at a later date, the Internal Revenue Service assesses a
deficiency against the Executive for the Excise Tax which is greater than that which
was determined at the time such amounts were paid, then the Company shall pay to the
Executive the amount of such unreimbursed Excise Tax, plus any interest, penalties and
reasonable professional fees or expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of such
assessment, including all such taxes with respect to any such additional amount. The
highest marginal tax rate applicable to individuals at the time of the payment of such
amounts will be used for purposes of determining the federal and state income and other
taxes with respect thereto. The Company shall withhold from any amounts paid under
this Agreement the amount of any Excise Tax or other federal, state or local taxes then
required to be withheld. Computations of the amount of any grossing-up supplemental
compensation paid under this Section shall be conclusively made by the Company’s
independent accountants, or other independent accountants retained by the Company, in
consultation, if necessary, with the Company’s independent legal counsel. If, after
the Executive receives any gross-up payments or other amount pursuant to this Section,
the Executive receives any refund with respect to the Excise Tax, the Executive shall
promptly pay the Company the amount of such refund within ten (10) days of receipt by
the Executive, on a grossed-up basis. If the Company deems it necessary or advisable
to contest or appeal any assessment, or determination made by the Internal Revenue
Service relating to the imposition of an Excise Tax as described herein
(an “Excise Tax Contest/Appeal”), the Executive covenants and agrees to reasonably
cooperate with the Company in connection with the Excise Tax Contest/Appeal;
provided, however, that the Company shall be responsible for all professional costs
and expenses incurred by the Executive in connection with such Excise Tax
Contest/Appeal.

	2.5	 	Restriction on Timing of Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is considered a Specified Employee at Separation
from Service under such procedures as established by the Bank in accordance with Section 409A
of the Code, benefit distributions that are made upon Separation from Service may not, to the
extent required by Section 409A of the Code, commence earlier than six (6) months after the
date of such Separation from Service. Therefore, in the event this Section 2.5 is applicable
to the Executive, any distribution or series of distributions to be made due to a Separation
from Service shall commence no earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the
Separation from Service, provided that to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code,
only payments scheduled to be paid during the first six (6) months after the date of such
Separation from Service shall be delayed and such delayed payments shall be paid in a single
sum on the first day of the seventh month following the date of such Separation from Service.






	2.6	 	Distributions Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A of the Code. Upon the
inclusion of any portion of the vested Accrual Balance into the Executive’s income as a result
of the failure of this Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code,
the Bank shall distribute such portion of the vested Accrual Balance to the Executive in a
single lump sum as soon as is administratively practicable following the discovery of such
failure.





Article 3

Distribution at Death





	3.1	 	Death During Active Service. If the Executive dies while in the active service of
the Bank, the Bank shall distribute to the Beneficiary the benefit described in this Section

	 	3.1.1	 	Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 3.1 is the greater
of (i) the Accrual Balance at the Executive’s date of death, or (ii) three hundred
thirty five thousand three hundred fifty-six dollars ($335,356).
	 
	 	3.1.2	 	Distribution of Benefit. The Bank shall distribute the benefit to the
Beneficiary in one hundred eighty (180) consecutive equal monthly installments
commencing within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Bank of the Executive’s
death certificate. On December 31 of each Plan Year during the applicable installment
period, the Bank shall credit interest on the unpaid Accrual Balance at an annual rate
equal to the Merrill Lynch High Grade Long Term Bond rate as published in the Wall
Street Journal on the first business day of that Plan Year, compounded
monthly.






	3.2	 	Death During Distribution of a Benefit. If the Executive dies after any benefit
distributions have commenced under this Agreement but before receiving all such distributions,

WEST MICHIGAN COMMUNITY BANK

Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement





	3.3	 	Death After Separation from Service But Before Benefit Distributions Commence. If
the Executive is entitled to benefit distributions under this Agreement, but dies prior to the
commencement of said benefit distributions, the Bank shall distribute to the Beneficiary the
same benefits that the Executive was entitled to prior to death except that the benefit
distributions shall commence within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Bank of the
Executive’s death certificate.





Article 4

Beneficiaries





	4.1	 	Beneficiary. The Executive shall have the right, at any time, to designate a
Beneficiary(ies) to receive any benefit distributions under this Agreement to a Beneficiary
upon the death of the Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the

which the Executive participates.






	4.2	 	Beneficiary Designation: Change. The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by
completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and delivering it to the Plan
Administrator or its designated agent. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be
deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive
names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive shall
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,
as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new
Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be
cancelled. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary
Designation Form filed by the Executive and accepted by the Plan Administrator prior to the
Executive’s death.






	4.3	 	Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be
effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Plan Administrator or
its designated agent.






	4.4	 	No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary
designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive’s
spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the
benefits
shall be made to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate.






	4.5	 	Facility of Distribution. If the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion
that a benefit is to be distributed to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a
person 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




7









 











WEST MICHIGAN COMMUNITY BANK

Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement





	 	 	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 Executive’s Beneficiary, as the case may
be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such
distribution amount.





Article 5

General Limitations





	5.1	 	Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Bank shall not distribute any benefit under this Agreement if Executive’s

for such life insurance, or (ii) for any other reason.

employment at any time.

informal funding asset is a general asset of the Bank to which the Executive and Beneficiary
have no preferred or secured claim.

or reorganize, or sell substantially all of its assets to another bank, firm, or person unless
