Policy as follows:


 


4

















 


A.                                   Provided
that, either (i) the Insured was either employed by the Bank at the time
of Insured’s death or (ii) the Insured was no longer employed by the Bank
because he had elected Early or Normal Retirement from the Bank prior to the
Insured’s death (as defined in the Insured’s Executive Supplemental
Compensation Agreement, as amended), then upon the death of the Insured, the
Insured’s beneficiary(ies) depending on the age of the Insured at time of death
shall be entitled to the following:


 


i.                                        If
the Insured is Sixty-Nine (69) years old or younger at the time of death, then
the Insured’s beneficiary(ies), designated in accordance with Paragraph 3,
shall be entitled to receive a total amount equal to the lesser of One Million,
Three Hundred and Thirteen Thousand, Nine Hundred and Ninety ($1,313,990)
Dollars or one hundred percent (100%) of the Net-at-Risk portion of the
proceeds from the Policy.  For the
purposes of this Agreement, the Net-at-Risk insurance portion is the total
proceeds of the Policy less the cash value of the Policy.  The Executive may elect to reduce his death
benefit in the future at any time provided that he has written authorization
from his spouse or primary beneficiary.


 


ii.                                     If

amount equal to the lesser of Five Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand, Five
Hundred and Ninety-Six ($525,596) Dollars or one hundred percent (100%) of the
Net-at-Risk portion of the proceeds from the Policy.


 


B.                                     In
the event the Insured is forced to terminate his employment with the Bank as a
result of Disability, then upon the death of the Insured, the Insured’s
beneficiaries shall be entitled to the same benefit amounts set forth under
Paragraph 6A.


 


C.                                     In
the event (i) the Insured is Terminated for Cause from the Bank or (ii) the
Insured terminates employment with the Bank as a result of a Voluntary
Termination that occurs prior to the Insured reaching Early Retirement Age as specified in Insured’s Executive
Supplemental Compensation Agreement, as amended, then the Executive’s beneficiary(ies)
upon the Executive’s death will receive a total of the lesser of Twenty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in death benefits or One Hundred Percent (100%) of
the Net-at-Risk portion of the proceeds under the Policy at the time of Insured’s
death.

the event that the Policy is terminated by the Bank, other than as a result of
any intentional act of the Insured which causes the policy to terminate, then
the Bank upon the death of the Insured shall pay the benefit specified in
Subparagraphs 6 (A),(B),(C), or (D) to the Insured’s beneficiary(ies), as
named on the last written beneficiary designation in force under the Policy.  The amount paid by the Bank shall be
equivalent to the after tax value of the benefits which would have been paid at
the time of the death of the Insured if the Policy had not been terminated.

OF THE CASH SURRENDER VALUE OF THE POLICY.


 


The Bank shall at all
times be entitled to an amount equal to the Policy’s cash value, as that term
is defined in the Policy contract, less any Policy loans and unpaid interest or
cash withdrawals previously incurred by the Bank and any applicable surrender
charges.  Such cash value shall be
determined as of the date of surrender or death as the case may be.


 


8.                                      RIGHTS
OF PARTIES WHERE POLICY ENDOWMENT OR ANNUITY ELECTION EXISTS.


 


In the event the Policy
involves an endowment or annuity element, the Bank’s right and interest in any
endowment proceeds or annuity benefits, on expiration of the deferment period,
shall be determined under the provisions of this Agreement by regarding such
endowment proceeds or the commuted value of such annuity benefits as the Policy’s

paid out shall have a fifteen (15) day option to receive from the Bank an
absolute assignment of the Policy in consideration of a cash payment to the
Bank equal to the cash value of the Policy at the time of such assignment.  Upon the proper exercise of the option to
receive an absolute assignment of the Policy, this Agreement shall terminate
and Bank shall have no further obligation to pay any benefits to Executive’s
beneficiary(ies) pursuant to this Agreement.

Whenever in this
Agreement words are used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, they
shall be read and construed as in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender,
whenever they should so apply.


 


14.                               INSURANCE
COMPANY NOT A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT.


 


The Insurer shall not be
deemed a party to this Agreement, but will respect the rights of the parties as
herein developed upon receiving an executed copy of this Agreement.  Payment or other performance in accordance
with the Policy provisions shall fully discharge the Insurer from any and all
liability.


 


15.                               AMENDMENT
OR REVOCATION, AND EXCHANGE OF POLICY.


 


Subject to the
Bank’s absolute right to surrender or terminate the Policy at any time and for
any reason, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto that, during the
lifetime of the Insured, this Agreement may be amended or revoked at any time
or times, in whole or in part, by the mutual written consent of the Insured and
the Bank.  The Bank and Insured agree
that the Bank may, however, unilaterally and without the consent of the

Agreement, with or without replacing said Policy, provided the replacement
policy is at the time of exchange of equivalent or better value than the Policy.


 


16.                               SEVERABILITY
AND INTERPRETATION.


 


If a provision of this
Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions
shall nonetheless be enforceable according to their terms.  Further, in the event that any provision is
held to be overbroad as written such provision shall be deemed amended to narrow
its application to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable
according to law and enforced as amended.


 


8

















 


17.                               APPLICABLE
LAW.


 


The laws of the State of Nevada shall govern the
validity and interpretation of this Agreement.


 


18.                               EFFECT
OF THE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY’S CONTESTABILITY CLAUSES.


 


Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, the parties herein understand and agree that the payment of
the benefits provided herein are subject to the Life Insurance Policy’s suicide
and contestability clauses and other such clauses, and if such clauses preclude
the Insurer from paying the full death proceeds, then, in such event, no death
benefits of whatever nature shall be payable to Insured’s (or Insured’s
Assignee’s) beneficiary(ies) under this Agreement.


 


19.                               COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A.


 


This
Agreement shall at all times be administered in compliance with the
requirements of §409A of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) and any and all
regulations thereunder, including such regulations as may be promulgated.


 


In
the event that § 409A of the Code applies to any compensation with respect
to a separation from service, payment of that compensation shall be delayed if
Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in § 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of
the Code, and such delayed payment is required by § 409A of the Code.  Such delay shall last six months from the
date of separation of service.


 


The term “Separation from
Service” means the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Employer
for reasons other than death or Disability. 
Whether a Separation from Service takes place is determined based on the
facts and circumstances surrounding the termination of the Executive’s
employment and whether the Employer and the Executive intended for the
Executive to provide significant services for the Employer following such
termination.  A termination of employment
will not be considered a Separation from Service if:


 


(a)                                  the
Executive continues to provide services as an employee of the Employer at an
annual rate that is twenty percent (20%) or more of the services rendered, on
average, during the immediately preceding three full calendar years of
employment (or, if employed less than three years, such lesser period) and the
annual remuneration for such services is twenty percent (20%) or more of the
average annual remuneration earned during the final three full calendar years
of employment (or, if less, such lesser period), or


 


(b)                                 the
Executive continues to provide services to the Employer in a capacity other
than as an employee of the Employer at an annual rate that is fifty percent
(50%) or more of the services rendered, on average, during the immediately
preceding 


 


9

















 


three full calendar years of employment (or if
employed less than three years, such lesser period) and the annual remuneration
for such services is fifty percent (50%) or more of the average annual
remuneration earned during the final three full calendar years of employment
(or if less, such lesser period).


 


Executed at Reno, Nevada this 31st day of December,
2008.
