W I T N E S S E T H:


 


WHEREAS, Bank and Employee previously entered into a Deferred Compensation Agreement, dated the 28th day of December, 2000 (the “Deferred Compensation Agreement”), which, among other items, provides the Employee with choices of deemed or actual investments for the Employee’s compensation deferred according to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Agreement; and  


 


WHEREAS, Bank and Employee previously entered into the First Amendment of the Deferred Compensation Agreement, dated the 28th Day of December, 2000 (the “First Amendment”), which amended the choices of deemed or actual investments for the Employee’s compensation deferred according to the terms of the Deferred Compensation Agreement; and  


 


WHEREAS, the enactment of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 added section 409A to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”); and  


 


WHEREAS, the Internal Revenue Service recently promulgated proposed regulations implementing Code Section 409A (the “Proposed Regulations”); and


 


WHEREAS, the Bank and the Employee desire to freeze accruals to the Account as of December 31, 2004 and to modify the Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, to comply with Code Section 409A and the Proposed Regulations.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties hereto, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:


 


1.          The Deferred Compensation Agreement is further amended by adding the following as the new final paragraph of Paragraph “2”:


 


“Effective December 31, 2004, future deferrals to the Account shall be discontinued and any deferrals made hereunder after January 1, 2005 shall be returned and paid as salary or wages to Whittet no later than December 31, 2005.”

Exhibit 10.1


 


 



2.          Effective January 1, 2005, the Deferred Compensation Agreement is further amended by replacing Paragraph “4” thereof with the following:


 


“Distributions upon the termination of Whittet’s employment with the Bank shall be paid in the form of either a lump sum on the one hand or in monthly, quarterly or annual installments for a period of up to five (5) years on the other hand. Whittet shall elect the form and time of distribution of the Account on the termination of [his/her] employment with the Bank by completing a Deferred Compensation Election Form in the form attached hereto and filing it with the Bank no later than December 31, 2005. Upon filing with the Bank, such “Deferred Compensation Election Form” shall be incorporated by reference herein. This election of the form and timing of the distribution of the Account may not be changed once made and may not (i) change the form of payments that Whittet would otherwise receive in 2006 and (ii) may not cause a benefit to be paid to Whittet
in 2006 that otherwise would have been made at a later time.”


 


3.          The following is inserted as the new third sentence of Paragraph “5” of the Deferred Compensation Agreement:


 


“Effective January 1, 2005, such designation (or a change in such designation) shall be made by filing a ‘Beneficiary Election Form’ in the form attached hereto.”


 


4.          Effective January 1, 2005, the third sentence of Paragraph “9” of the Deferred Compensation Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following two sentences:


 


“Such accelerated distribution will be made only in the amount necessary to alleviate the financial emergency (including any amounts necessary to pay federal, state or local income taxes reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. For the purposes of this Paragraph 9, ‘hardship’ shall mean a severe financial hardship to Whittet resulting from an illness or accident of Whittet, Whittet’s spouse or dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code), loss of Whittet’s property due to casualty or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of Whittet.”


 


6.          Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Deferred Compensation Agreement. 


 


7.          All other terms of the Deferred Compensation Agreement remain in full force and effect.

To:  Wilber National Bank


 


In accordance with the provisions of the Deferred Compensation Agreement, payment of the Account adjusted by investment gains and losses, shall commence on my cessation of employment for any reason with the Bank and shall be in the form specified below.

            a lump sum,
 
	
             
 	
             
 	
             
 
	
             
 	
             
 	
            monthly installments for ______ months (not to exceed 60),

Note: Your election above with respect to the form of payment of amounts contributed to the Plan (including investment gains and losses on such amounts) may not be modified at a later date.
