NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual promises herein contained, the Bank and the Executive agree as follows:

  

  

  

 

SECTION I

 

DEFINITIONS

 

When used herein, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings below unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

	  	  
	
1.1

	
“Accrued Benefit Account” shall be represented by the bookkeeping entries required to record the Executive’s (i) Phantom Contributions plus (ii) accrued interest, equal to the Interest Factor, earned to-date on such amounts. However, neither the existence of such bookkeeping entries nor the Accrued Benefit Account itself shall be deemed to create either a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Bank and the Executive or any Beneficiary. In the event the Bank commences Phantom Contributions to the Accrued Benefit Account it is intended that all aspects of this agreement will be construed in a manner consistent with IRC § 409 A.

	  	  
	
1.2

	
“Act” means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time.

“Bank” means West End Bank and any successor thereto.

	  	  
	
1.5

	
“Beneficiary” means the person or persons (and their heirs) designated as Beneficiary in Exhibit B of this Agreement to whom the deceased Executive’s benefits are payable. If no Beneficiary is so designated, then the Executive’s Spouse, if living, will be deemed the Beneficiary. If the Executive’s Spouse is not living, then the Children of the Executive will be deemed the Beneficiaries and will take on a per stirpes basis. If there are no Children, then the Estate of the Executive will be deemed the Beneficiary.

	  	  
	
1.6

	
“Benefit Age” means Executive’s seventieth (70th) birthday.

1.8

	
“Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of the Bank.

1.10

	
“Change in Control” of the Holding Company or Bank shall mean the following change in control events;

Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other shareholders in a corporation only with respect to the ownership in that corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.

	  	  
	  	
A.    Change in Ownership of the Corporation

	  	  
	  	
Change in the ownership occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as defined above), acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of such corporation. However, if any one person or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of a corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation or to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation.

  

4

  

 

	  	
B.     Change in the Effective Control of the Corporation

	  	  
	  	
Change in the effective control of the corporation.

C.     Change in the Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Corporation’s Assets.

	  	  
	  	
Change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as defined above), acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the corporation that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40 percent of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the corporation, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

7

  

 

	  	
The annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank in the Accrued Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five (75) days of establishment of such trust, and (ii) within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each subsequent Plan Year. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each applicable Plan Year. Phantom Contributions shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, during the Payout Period, until the balance of the Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed.

	  	  
	  	
The Administrator shall review the schedule of annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30) days prior to the close of each Plan Year and (ii) if the Executive is employed by the Bank until attaining Benefit Age, on or immediately before attainment of such Benefit Age. Such review shall consist of an evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions). Provided that (i) the Executive has not exercised his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the investments contained in the Retirement Income Trust Fund have been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine during any such review that an increase in or supplement to the schedule of Contributions is necessary in order to adequately fund the Retirement Income Trust Fund so as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the lump sum equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing at Benefit Age and payable for the duration of the Payout Period.

(b) Withdrawal Rights Not Exercised.

	  	
(1) Contributions Made Annually

	  	
If the Executive does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the annual Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall continue each year, unless this Subsection 2.1(b) specifically states otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the Executive’s termination of service.

	  	  
	  	
(2) Termination Following a Change in Control

	  	
If the Executive does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, followed within thirty-six (36) months by either (i) the Executive’s involuntary termination of service, or (ii) Executive’s voluntary termination of service after: (A) a material change in the Executive’s function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause the Executive’s position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the position the Executive held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a relocation of the Executive’s principal place of service by more than thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or (C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Executive from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the Contributions as set forth on Schedule A shall continue to be required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to make an immediate lump sum Contribution to the Executive’s Retirement Income Trust Fund in an amount equal to: (i) the full Contribution required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the remaining Contribution; provided, however, if necessary an additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Executive with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Executive’s termination) beginning at Benefit Age following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Executive if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106.

(3) Termination For Cause

	  	
If the Executive does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs.

	  	  
	  	
(4) Voluntary or Involuntary Termination of Service.

	  	
If the Executive does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Executive’s service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason, including a termination due to disability of the Executive but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, no further Contribution(s) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs.

1.

	
Determine what the accrued liability would have been as of the Director’s date of termination, had no secular trust been implemented.

	  	
2.

The Bank shall make payments to the Director’s Retirement Income Trust Fund on an annual basis in amounts equal to the accrued interest expense which would have been recorded absent the secular trust arrangement.

 

	  	
(5) Death During Service.

	  	
If the Executive does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following the Executive’s death, the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are insufficient to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to which the Executive is entitled, the Bank shall be required to make a Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust Fund in an amount sufficient to provide the Executive’s beneficiary with benefits equal to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, after taking into consideration any payments under any life insurance policies that may have been obtained on the Executive’s life by the Retirement Income Trust Fund. Such final contribution shall be payable in a lump sum to the Retirement Income Trust Fund within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s death.

(c) Withdrawal Rights Exercised.

	  	
If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Bank’s obligation to make Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall cease and the Bank’s obligation to record Phantom Contributions in the Accrued Benefit Account shall commence. Because Phantom Contributions to the Accrued Benefit Account are not taxed to the Executive until distributed as benefits, the Accrued Benefit Account is subject to IRC § 409A. In the event the Bank commences Phantom Contributions to the Accrued Benefit Account it is intended that all aspects of this agreement will be construed in a manner consistent with IRC § 409A.

	  	  
	  	
(1)  Phantom Contributions Made Annually.

	  	
If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, no further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank.

(2)  Termination Following a Change in Control

	  	
If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Executive first exercises his withdrawal rights. If a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control, the Executive’s service is either (i) involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the Executive after: (A) a material change in the Executive’s function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause the Executive’s position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the position the Executive held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a relocation of the Executive’s principal place of service by more than thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or (C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Executive from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the Phantom Contribution set forth below shall be required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to record a lump sum Phantom Contribution in the Accrued Benefit Account within ten (10) days of the Executive’s termination of service equal to (i) the full Contribution required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the Elective Contribution. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required, at such time, in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Executive if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from both the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Executive from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)

	  	  
	  	
(3)  Termination For Cause

	  	
If the Executive is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the entire balance of the Executive’s Accrued Benefit Account at the time of such termination, which shall include any Phantom Contributions which have been recorded plus interest accrued on such Phantom Contributions, shall be forfeited.

  

12

  

 

	  	
(4)  Voluntary and Involuntary Termination of Service.

	  	
If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2,’and the Executive’s service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason including termination due to disability of the Executive, but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such termination of service, no further Phantom Contributions shall be required of the Bank. Interest, at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, shall accrue on such Phantom Contributions until the Executive’s Benefit Eligibility Date.

	  	  
	  	
(5)  Death During Service.

	  	
If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, Phantom Contributions included on Exhibit A shall be required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue through the Plan Year in which the Executive dies. The Bank shall also be required to record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required at such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Executive’s death and continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Executive pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)

	  	  
	
2.2

	
Withdrawals From Retirement Income Trust Fund.

	  	
Exercise of withdrawal rights by the Executive pursuant to the John McBride Grantor Trust agreement shall terminate the Bank’s obligation to make any further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and the Bank’s obligation to record Phantom Contributions pursuant to Subsection 2.1(c) shall commence. In the event the Bank commences Phantom Contributions to the Accrued Benefit Account it is intended that all aspects of this agreement will be construed in a manner consistent with IRC § 409A For purposes of this Subsection 2.2, “exercise of withdrawal rights” shall mean those withdrawal rights to which the Executive is entitled under Article III of the John McBride Grantor Trust agreement and shall exclude any distributions made by the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund to the Executive for purposes of payment of income taxes in accordance with Subsection 2.1 of this Agreement and the tax reimbursement formula contained in the trust document, or other trust expenses properly payable from the John McBride Grantor Trust pursuant to the provisions of the trust document.

Benefits Payable From Retirement Income Trust Fund

	  	
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund purchases a life insurance policy or annuity with the Contributions to and, if applicable, earnings of the Trust, and such life insurance policy or annuity is intended to continue in force beyond the Payout Period for the disability or retirement benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement, then the trustee shall have discretion to determine the portion of the cash value of such policy available for purposes of annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 2.3, “annuitizing” does not mean surrender of such policy and annuitizing of the cash value received upon such surrender) to provide the disability or retirement benefits payable under this Agreement, after taking into consideration the amounts reasonably believed to be required in order to maintain the cash value of such policy to continue such policy in effect until the death of the Executive and payment of death benefits thereunder.

	  	  
	
2.4

	
Benefits Payable From the Accrued Benefit Account

	  	
If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Bank’s obligation to make Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall cease and the Bank’s obligation to record Phantom Contributions in the Accrued Benefit Account shall commence. Because Phantom Contributions to the Accrued Benefit Account are not taxed to the Executive until distributed as benefits, the Accrued Benefit Account is subject to IRC § 409A. In the event the Bank commences Phantom Contributions to the Accrued Benefit Account it is intended that all aspects of this agreement will be construed in a manner consistent with IRC § 409A. Upon exercising withdrawal rights under this plan, the participant (or the participant’s beneficiary) must satisfy the requirements of IRC § 409A to change the time or form of distribution from the Accrued Benefit Account.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Executive does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and if at any time after the final Contribution immediately prior to Executive’s Benefits Eligibility Date or the date that triggers distribution is made to the Retirement Income Trust Fund the Executive elects to terminate the Retirement Income Trust Fund and receive a distribution of the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, then upon such distribution this Agreement shall terminate.

Payment of the balance(s) of the Executive’s Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) shall not be dependent upon his continuation of service with the Bank following the termination date of the Agreement. Payment of the balance(s) of the Executive’s Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) shall be made in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date of termination of the Agreement.
