effective if signed by the Executive and accepted by the Bank during the
Executive’s lifetime. A beneficiary’s 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. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary designation, all
payments shall be made to the Executive’s surviving spouse, if any, and if
none, to the Executive’s surviving children in equal shares per survivor,
and if no survivors, to the Executive’s estate.

The Bank may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it   may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Such distribution   shall completely discharge the Bank from all liability with respect to such   benefit.
