 Beneficiaries

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 4.1

 	
 In General.
 The Executive shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary
 to receive any benefit distributions 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 designated under any other plan of
 the Company in which the Executive participates.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 4.2

 	
 Designation.
 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. If the Executive names someone other than the
 Executive’s spouse as a Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole
 discretion, determine that spousal consent 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 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. 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 prior to the Executive’s
 death.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 4.3

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

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 4.4

 	
 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, any benefit shall be paid to the
 Executive’s estate.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 4.5

 	
 Facility of
 Distribution. If the Plan Administrator determines in its
 discretion that a benefit is to be distributed to a minor, to a person declared
 incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that
 person’s property, the Plan Administrator may direct distribution of such
 benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or
 custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. 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

 Generally. This Agreement may be terminated only by a
 written agreement signed by the Company and the Executive. The benefit shall
 be the Accrual Balance as of the date this Agreement is terminated. Except as
 provided in Section 8.3, the termination of this Agreement shall not cause a
 distribution of benefits under this Agreement. Rather, upon such termination
 benefit distributions will be made at the earliest distribution event
 permitted under Article 2 or Article 3.

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
 8.3

 (a)

 	
 Within thirty (30) days
 before or twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, provided that all
 distributions are made no later than twelve (12) months following such
 termination of this Agreement and further provided that all the Company’s
 arrangements which are substantially similar to this Agreement are terminated
 so the Executive and all participants in the similar arrangements are
 required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated
 arrangements within twelve (12) months of such termination;

 distribution is administratively practical; or

 
	
  

 	
  

 	
  

 
	
  

 	
 (c)

 	
 Upon the Company’s
 termination of this and all other arrangements that would be aggregated with

 Executive participated in such arrangements (“Similar Arrangements”),
 provided that (i) the termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to
 a downturn in the financial health of the Company, (ii) all termination
 distributions are made no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than
 twenty-four (24) months following such termination, and (iii) the Company
 does not adopt any new arrangement that would be a Similar Arrangement for a

 beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators and transferees.

 No Guarantee of
 Employment. This Agreement is not a contract for
 employment. It does not give the Executive the right to remain as an employee
 of the Company nor interfere with the Company’s right to discharge the

 interfere with the Executive’s right to terminate employment at any time.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 9.3

 	
 Non-Transferability.
 Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged,

 9.4

 	
 Tax Withholding and
 Reporting. The Company shall withhold any taxes that are
 required to be withheld, including but not limited to taxes owed under Code

 any amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities. The Company shall
 satisfy all applicable reporting requirements, including those under Code
 Section 409A.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 9.5

 rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to
 anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,

 9.7

 	
 Reorganization. The Company shall
 not merge or consolidate into or with another bank, or reorganize, or sell
 substantially all of its assets to another bank, firm or person unless such succeeding or
 continuing bank, firm or person agrees to assume and discharge the obligations of the
 Company under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of such an event, the term
 “Company” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the successor or survivor
 entity.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 9.8

 matter hereof. No rights are granted to the Executive by virtue of this Agreement other than
 those specifically set forth herein.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 9.9

 and purpose of this Agreement requires and

 shall become impossible for the Company or the Plan Administrator to
 perform any act required by this Agreement due to regulatory or other constraints, the
 Company or Plan Administrator may perform such alternative act as most nearly carries out the
 intent and purpose of this Agreement and is in the best interests of the Company, provided
 that such alternative act does not violate Code Section 409A.

 
	
  

 	
  

 
	
 9.11

 convenient reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of

 9.12

 	
 Validity. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
 illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not
