is required to be provided in a form designated by the Plan Administrator, executed by the Executive’s spouse and returned
to the Plan Administrator. The Executive's beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked with respect to a Beneficiary
if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently

benefit is to be distributed to a Beneficiary who is a minor, incapacitated, under legal disability or considered by the Plan Administrator
to be incapable of handling receipt of the benefits hereunder if paid to the Beneficiary directly, the Plan Administrator may direct
distribution of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such individual. 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 completely discharge any liability under this Agreement for such distribution amount.

		9.14	Deduction Limitation on Benefit Payments. If the Bank reasonably anticipates that the Bank’s

then to the extent deemed necessary by the Bank to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution from this Agreement is deductible,
the Bank may delay payment of any amount that would otherwise be distributed under this Agreement. The delayed amounts shall be
distributed to the Executive (or the Beneficiary in the event of the Executive's death) at the earliest date the Bank reasonably
anticipates that the deduction of the payment of the amount will not be limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m).



 


IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
the Executive and a duly authorized representative of the Bank have signed this Agreement.
