DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND VALUATION OF ACCOUNT

 

Annuity Contract.  The Annuity Contract shall be a mere accounting device and the Employer shall have no obligation to actually purchase Annuity.  Further, to the extent the Employer does purchase the Annuity, all right, title, and interest in and to the Annuity (or any other assets which may be purchased by Employer) shall at all times be the sole property of the Employer and shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fund or collateral security for the payments under the Agreement.  The Annuity and any other asset purchased by the Employer shall for all purposes be a part of the general funds of the Employer.  To the extent that the Executive or the Executive’s Beneficiary acquires rights to receive payments under the Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer.  The Annuity Contract shall merely be the mechanism for tracking the benefits owed to the Executive under the Agreement.

 

No Requirement to Purchase Annuity Contract.  While the Employer is not required to acquire and maintain any the Annuity Contract, it may do so, and if the Employer does acquire the Annuity Contract, then the Executive consents thereto and agrees to assist the Employer in making application for the Annuity Contract by submitting to any required physical examination and providing any information necessary for the completion of such application.

 

Rabbi Trust.  Employer may establish a “rabbi trust” to which contributions may be made to provide the Employer with a source of funds for purposes of satisfying the obligations of the Employer under the Plan.  The trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan as an unfunded plan. The Executive and his Beneficiaries shall have no beneficial ownership interest in any assets held in the trust.

 

RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFITS

Retirement Benefit. Upon the Executive’s Separation from Service on or after Normal Retirement Age for any reason other than death, the Executive will be entitled to the monthly benefit payment described in this Section.  The benefit will commence on the first (1st) day of the month following the Executive’s 70th Birthday (the “Commencement Date”).  The amount of the monthly benefit will equal the amount which would be paid from the Annuity Contract assuming (i) the Employer actually made a contribution of $755,000 to the Annuity and (ii) election of Lifetime Income Withdrawals, as described in the Rider attached to the Annuity Contract, commencing on such date, based on a mortality age of 83.  This shall be the Executive’s benefit in lieu of any other benefit under this Agreement.

 

 

  

  

  

 

Early Retirement.  Upon the Executive’s Separation from Service prior to Normal Retirement Age for any reason other than death, the Executive will be entitled to the amount accrued for the Retirement Benefit by the Employer as of the Early Retirement date, payable on the first (1st) day of the second month following the date of the Early Retirement in 180 equal monthly installments.  The discount rate used by the Plan Administrator for determining the Early Retirement benefit will be based on the yield on a 20-year corporate bond rated Aa by Moody’s, rounded to the nearest 1⁄4%, or as otherwise determined by the governing Regulatory body. The initial discount rate is 5.00%.  In its sole discretion, the Plan Administrator may adjust the discount rate to maintain the rate within reasonable standards according to GAAP and consistent with the Interagency Advisory on Accounting for Deferred Compensation Agreements which states that the “cost of those benefits shall be accrued over that period of the employee’s service in a systematic and rational manner.”

 

Disability.  In the event the Executive should become Disabled while actively employed by the Employer any time after the effective date of this Agreement but prior to Normal Retirement or Early Retirement, the Executive will be entitled to the amount accrued for the Retirement Benefit by the Employer as of the date of Disability, payable on the first (1st) day of the second month following the date of the Disability in 180 equal monthly installments.  The discount rate used by the Plan Administrator for determining the Disability benefit will be based on the yield on a 20-year corporate bond rated Aa by Moody’s, rounded to the nearest 1⁄4%, or as otherwise determined by the governing Regulatory body. The initial discount rate is 5.00%.  In its sole discretion, the Plan Administrator may adjust the discount rate to maintain the rate within reasonable standards according to GAAP and consistent with the Interagency Advisory on Accounting for Deferred Compensation Agreements which states that the “cost of those benefits shall be accrued over that period of the employee’s service in a systematic and rational manner.”

 

Restriction on Timing of Distributions. Notwithstanding the applicable provisions of this Agreement regarding timing of payments, the following special rules shall apply if the stock of the Employer is publicly traded at the time of the Executive’s termination of employment in order for this Agreement to comply with section 409A of the Code: (i) to the extent the Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined under section 409A of the Code) at the time of a distribution and to the extent such applicable provisions of section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder require a delay of such distributions by a six-month period after the date of such Executive’s Separation from Service with the Employer, no such distribution shall be made prior to the date that is six months after the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service with the Employer, and (ii) any such delayed payments shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum within five (5) business days after the end of the six (6) month delay.

 

Death Benefits.  Upon death of the Executive, the Beneficiary will be entitled to a single sum payment, payable within ninety (90) days of the date of death (with the beneficiary having no right to designate the taxable year of the payment) equal to the amount accrued for the Retirement Benefit by the Employer as of the date of Death.

 

 

  

  

  

 

Change in Control Benefit.  Upon a Change in Control, the Executive will be 100% vested in the Retirement Benefit as provided for in paragraph 3.1. and payable in accordance with paragraph 3.1. at Normal Retirement Age.

 

 

BENEFICIARIES

 

Beneficiary Designations. The Executive shall have the right to designate at any time a Beneficiary to receive any benefits payable under this Agreement upon the death of the Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other benefit plan of the Employer in which the Executive participates.

 

Beneficiary Designation; Changes. 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 before the Executive’s death.

 

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

 

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 distributed to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate.

 

Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incapacitated, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Employer may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care or custody of the minor, incapacitated person, or incapable person. The Employer may require proof of incapacity, minority, or guardianship as it may deem appropriate before distribution of the benefit. Distribution shall completely discharge the Employer from all liability for the benefit.

 

 

GENERAL LIMITATIONS

 

Limits on Payments.  It is the intention of the parties that none of the payments to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement will constitute a “golden parachute payment” within the meaning of 12 USC Section 1828(k)(3) or implementing regulations of the FDIC, the payment of which is prohibited.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any payments due to be made by Employer for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned on compliance with 12 USC Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder including the receipt of all required approvals thereof by Employer’s primary federal banking regulator and/or the FDIC.

 

 

  

  

  

 

In addition, Employer and its successors retain the legal right to demand the return of any payment made hereunder which constitutes a “golden parachute payment” within the meaning of 12 USC Section 1828(k)(3) or implementing regulations of the FDIC should Employer or its successors later obtain information indicating that the Executive committed, is substantially responsible for, or has violated, the respective acts or omissions, conditions, or offenses outlined under 12 C.F.R. 359.4(a)(4).

Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Executive and the Employer and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, successors, administrators, legal representatives, and transferees.

 

No Guarantee of Employment. This Agreement is not an employment policy or contract. It does not give the Executive the right to remain an employee of the Employer, nor does it interfere with the Employer’s right to discharge the Executive. It also does not require the Executive to remain an employee nor interfere with the Executive’s right to terminate employment at any time.

Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and the Executive’s Beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of the Employer for the payment of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Employer to pay such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Employer and the Executive concerning the subject matter hereof. No rights are granted to the Executive under this Agreement other than those specifically set forth herein.

 

Payment of Legal Fees. In the event litigation ensues between the parties concerning the enforcement of the obligations of the parties under this Agreement, the Employer shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with such litigation until such time as a final determination (excluding any appeals) is made with respect to the litigation. If the Employer prevails on the substantive merits of the each material claim in dispute in such litigation, the Employer shall be entitled to receive from the Executive all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Employer on behalf of the Executive in connection with such litigation, and the Executive shall pay such costs and expenses to the Employer promptly upon demand by the Employer.

 

Termination or Modification of Agreement Because of Changes in Law, Rules or Regulations. The Employer is entering into this Agreement on the assumption that certain existing tax laws, rules, and regulations will continue in effect in their current form. If that assumption materially changes and the change has a material detrimental effect on this Agreement, then the Employer reserves the right to terminate or modify this Agreement accordingly, subject to the written consent of the Executive, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

 

ADMINISTRATION OF AGREEMENT

 

Plan Administrator Duties. This Agreement shall be administered by a Plan Administrator consisting of the Board of Directors of the Employer or such committee or person(s) as the Board of Directors of the Employer shall appoint. The Plan Administrator shall have the sole and absolute discretion and authority to interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Agreement and the rights of the Executive under this Agreement, to decide or resolve any and all questions or disputes arising under this Agreement, including benefits payable under this Agreement and all other interpretations of this Agreement, as may arise in connection with the Agreement.

 

Agents. In the administration of this Agreement, the Plan Administrator may employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Employer.

 

Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Plan Administrator with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation, and application of the Agreement and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is acknowledged that the value of the benefits payable hereunder may be difficult to determine in the event the Employer does not actually purchase and maintain the Annuity Contract as contemplated hereunder; therefore, in such event, the Employer shall have the right to make any reasonable assumptions in determining the benefits payable hereunder and any such determination made in good faith shall be binding on the Executive.

 

 

  

  

  

 

Indemnity of Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall not be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of this Agreement, unless such action or omission is attributable to the willful misconduct of the Plan Administrator or any of its members. The Employer shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Plan Administrator against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses, or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Agreement, except in the case of willful misconduct by the Plan Administrator or any of its members.

 

Employer Information. To enable the Plan Administrator to perform its functions, the Employer shall supply full and timely information to the Plan Administrator on all matters relating to the date and circumstances of the retirement, Disability, death, or Separation of Service of the Executive and such other pertinent information as the Plan Administrator may reasonably require.
