HOME
FEDERAL BANK

 

RESTATED
CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AGREEMENT

 

This Restated Change-in-Control Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered
into as of this 31st day of December, 2008, by and between Home Federal Bank, a
federally chartered savings bank and                                                 
(the “Employee”). As used herein, the term “the Bank” shall mean Home Federal
Bank, or if the context requires, its successor.

 

WHEREAS, the Employee is currently serving as                                                 
of the Bank; and

 

WHEREAS, the Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HF Financial Corp.,
(the Holding Company”), and the Holding Company offers its common stock for
sale to the public and is subject to supervision by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”); and

 

WHEREAS, both the Bank and the Holding Company are subject to
supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Bank recognizes that, as is the
case with publicly held corporations generally, the possibility of a
change-in-control of the Holding Company may exist and that such possibility,
and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may
result in the departure or distraction of key management personnel to the
detriment of the Bank, the Holding Company and its stockholders; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Bank believes it is in the best
interests of the Bank to enter into a Change-in-Control Agreement with the
Employee in order to assure continuity of management of the Bank and to
reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of the Employee
to his assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially
disruptive circumstances arising from the possibility of a change-in-control of
the Holding Company, although no such change is now known of; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Bank has previously approved and
authorized the execution of a Change-in-Control Agreement with the Employee;
and

 

WHEREAS, the parties desire to make changes to such Agreement to better
conform to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and for
other reasons; and

 

WHEREAS, Section 53-8-7 of the South Dakota Codified Laws permits
parties to a written contract to alter the contract in writing without further
consideration; and

 

 

WHEREAS, the HF Financial Corp. Personnel, Compensation and Benefits
Committee has authorized the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank
to finalize and sign the Agreement to take effect as stated in Section 1
hereof.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective
covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, it is agreed as
follows:

 

1.                                       Term
of Agreement. This Agreement will commence on the date hereof and shall
continue while the Employee is employed with the Bank; provided, however, that
if either party gives a notice of nonextension with respect to the Employee’s
Restated Employment Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate when the Restated
Employment Agreement terminates, except that if such notice of nonextension is
given by the Bank at a time when the Bank is actively negotiating a transaction
with a third party that may result in a Change-in-Control or at a time when
shareholders of the Holding Company are being solicited to vote for directors
who would not be Continuing Directors as defined in Section 2 below and
the election of such directors would effect a Change-in-Control or at a time
when shareholders of the Holding Company are being solicited to tender their
shares in an offering that if successful would result in a Change-in-Control,
this Agreement shall not terminate until nine months following the termination
of the Restated Employment Agreement.

 

2.                                      Change-in-Control.
No benefits shall be payable hereunder unless there shall have been a
Change-in-Control, as set forth below, and the Employee’s employment is
terminated as described in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change-in-Control”
shall mean:

 

a.                                       a
change-in-control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response
to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or
not the Holding Company is then subject to such reporting requirement; or

 

b.                                      the
public announcement (which, for purposes of this definition, shall include,
without limitation, a report filed pursuant to Section 13(d) of the
Exchange Act) by the Holding Company or any “person” (as such term is used in
Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) that such person has
become the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Holding Company
(i) representing 20% or more, but not more than 50%, of the combined
voting power of the Holding Company’s then outstanding securities unless the
transaction resulting in such ownership has been approved in advance by the
Continuing Directors (as hereinafter defined); or (ii) representing more
than 50% of the combined voting power of the Holding Company’s then outstanding
securities (regardless of any approval by the Continuing Directors); provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change-in-Control shall be
deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement by reason of the
ownership of 20% or more of the total voting capital stock of the Holding
Company then issued and outstanding by the Holding Company, any subsidiary of
the Holding Company or any employee benefit plan of the Holding Company or of
any subsidiary of the Holding Company or any entity 

 

2

 

holding shares of
the Common Stock organized, appointed or established for, or pursuant to the
terms of, any such plan (any such person or entity described in this clause is
referred to herein as a “Company Entity”); or

 

c.                                       any
acquisition of control as defined in 12 Code of Federal Regulations Section 574.4,
or any successor regulation, of the Holding Company which would require the
filing of an application for acquisition of control or notice of
Change-in-Control in a manner which is set forth in 12 CFR Section 574.3,
or any successor regulation; or

 

d.                                      the
Continuing Directors (as hereinafter defined), cease to constitute a majority
of the Holding Company’s Board of Directors; or

 

e.                                       the
shareholders of the Holding Company approve (i) any consolidation or
merger of the Holding Company in which the Holding Company is not the
continuing or surviving Holding Company or pursuant to which shares of Holding
Company stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other
than a merger of the Holding Company in which shareholders immediately prior to
the merger have the same proportionate ownership of stock of the surviving
Holding Company immediately after the merger; (ii) any sale, lease,
exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related
transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Holding Company;
or (iii) any plan of liquidation or dissolution of the Holding Company.

 

For purposes of this definition, “Continuing Director” shall mean any
person who is a member of the Board of Directors of the Holding Company, while
such person is a member of the Board of Directors, who is not an Acquiring
Person (as defined below) or an Affiliate or Associate (as defined below) of an
Acquiring Person, or a representative of an Acquiring Person or of any such
Affiliate or Associate, and who (i) was a member of the Board of Directors
on July 2, 2007; or (ii) subsequently becomes a member of the Board
of Directors, if such person’s initial nomination for election or initial
election to the Board of Directors is recommended or approved by a majority of
the Continuing Directors. For purposes of this definition, “Acquiring Person”
shall mean any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of
the Exchange Act) who or which, together with all Affiliates and Associates of
such person, is the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Holding Company representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of
the Holding Company’s then outstanding securities, but shall not include the
Investors or any Holding Company Entity; and “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall
have their respective meanings ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2
promulgated under the Exchange Act.

 

3.                                       Termination
Following a Change-in-Control. If a Change-in-Control shall have occurred
during the term of this Agreement, the Employee shall be entitled to the
benefits provided in Section 4(a) hereof upon termination of the
Employee’s employment within 24 months following the month in which a
Change-in-Control occurs unless such termination is: (i) because of the
Employee’s death or Disability (as defined 

 

3

 

below); (ii) by
the Bank for Cause (as defined below); or (iii) by the Employee other than
for Good Reason (as defined below):

 

a.                                       Cause.
Termination by the Bank of the Employee’s employment for “Cause” shall mean
termination upon (i) material violation of a law or regulation which: (a) governs
the Employee’s conduct as an officer of the Bank; or (b) in the reasonable opinion of the Bank affects the Employee’s
fitness to serve in his position; (ii) substantial neglect of the
Employee’s duties; (iii) action or inaction, which materially and
adversely impacts the Bank’s safety, soundness, security, assets, customers or
employees; (iv) dishonesty of a material nature; (v) failure to
comply with material rules, regulations or policies of the Bank; (vi) engaging
in personal conduct which, when considering the Employee’s position with the
Bank, would materially detract from its business reputation in the community
served; (vii) material breach of any material covenant or condition of the
Employee’s Restated Employment Agreement; and (viii) willful and material
misconduct.

 

Termination for Cause shall be preceded by a fair and complete
investigation, including an opportunity for the Employee to provide information
the Employee deems relevant.

 

b.                                      Good
Reason. The Employee’s termination of employment for “Good Reason” shall
mean termination by the Employee upon the occurrence, without his express
written consent, within 24 months following a Change-in-Control of any one or
more of the following:

 

(i)                                           the
assignment to the Employee of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the
Employee’s position (including status, offices, titles, and reporting requirements),
authorities, duties, or other responsibilities as in effect immediately prior
to the Change-in-Control or any other action of the Bank which results in a
diminishment in such position, authority, duties, or responsibilities, other
than an insubstantial and inadvertent action which is remedied by the Bank
promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Employee;

 

(ii)                                        a
reduction by the Bank in the Employee’s base salary as in effect on the date
hereof or as the same shall be increased from time-to-time;

 

(iii)                                     the
failure by the Bank to (a) continue in effect any material compensation or
benefit plan, program, policy or practice in which the Employee was
participating at the time of the Change-in-Control, or (b) provide the
Employee with compensation and benefits at least equal (in terms of benefit
levels and/or reward opportunities) to those provided for under each employee
benefit plan, program, policy and practice as in effect immediately prior to
the Change-in-Control (or as in effect following the Change-in-Control, if
greater);

 

(iv)                                    the
failure of the Bank to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to
the Bank to assume and agree to perform this Agreement, as contemplated in Section 8
hereof; and

 

4

 

(v)                                       any
purported termination by the Bank of the Employee’s employment that is not
effected pursuant to a Notice of Termination (as defined below).

 

The Bank’s right to terminate Employee’s employment pursuant to this
Subsection shall not be affected by the Employee’s Disability as defined below.
The Employee’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a
waiver of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting Good Reason
hereunder. Employee’s termination of employment for Good Reason as defined in
this Subsection 3(b) shall constitute termination for Good Reason for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding that the Employee may also thereby
be deemed to have “retired” under any applicable retirement programs of the
Bank.

 

c.                                       Disability.
Disability shall mean incapacity due to physical or mental illness as
determined by the Bank’s disability plan.

 

d.                                      Notice
of Termination. Any purported termination of the Employee’s employment by
the Bank or by the Employee (other than by reason of the Employee’s death)
within 24 months following the month in which a Change-in-Control occurs, shall
be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in
accordance with Section 9 hereof. No purported termination of the Employee’s
employment by the Bank shall be effective if it is not pursuant to a Notice of
Termination. Failure by the Employee to provide Notice of Termination shall not
limit any of the Employee’s rights under this Agreement except to the extent
the Bank can demonstrate that it suffered actual damages by reason of such
failure. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a
written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon and the Date of Termination (as defined below) and shall
set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a
basis for termination of the Employee’s employment under the provision so
indicated.

 

e.                                       Date
of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean the date specified in the
Notice of Termination (except in the case of the Employee’s death, in which
case Date of Termination shall be the date of death); provided, however, that
if the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Bank, the date specified in
the Notice of Termination shall be at least 30 days from the date the Notice of
Termination is given to the Employee and if the Employee terminates his
employment for Good Reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination
shall not be more than 60 days from the date the Notice of Termination is given
to the Bank.

 

4.                                       Compensation
Upon Termination. Following a Change-in-Control that occurs during the term
of this Agreement, and upon the Employee’s termination of employment within 24
months following the month in which the Change-in-Control occurred, the
Employee shall be entitled to the following benefits:

 

a.                                       If
employment by the Bank is terminated (A) by the Bank for any reason other
than Cause, or (B) by the Employee for Good Reason, the Employee shall be
entitled to the benefits, to be funded from the general assets of the Bank,
provided below:

 

5

 

(i)                                           the
Bank shall pay the Employee his full annual base salary through the Date of Termination
at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given;

 

(ii)                                        the
Bank shall pay the Employee in accordance with the terms of the Short-Term
Incentive Plan, any incentive payment Employee has a right to receive on the
last day of the fiscal year prior to Employee’s Date of Termination.

 

(iii)                                     the
Bank shall pay as severance pay to the Employee, a lump sum severance payment
equal to 1.5 times the sum of (A) the Employee’s annual base salary in
effect at the time Notice of Termination is given or immediately prior to the
date of the Change-in-Control, whichever is greater, and (B) the amount
determined as follows: (1) the amount that the Employee had accrued during
the plan year under the Short-Term Incentive Plan as of the first of the month
following the month in which the Change in Control occurred, annualized by
dividing the amount accrued by the number of months from the start of the plan
year to the first of the month following the month in which the Change in
Control occurred multiplied by twelve; plus, (2) the amount of each of the
Short-Term Incentive Awards, if any, awarded to the Employee in the three years
immediately prior to the Change in Control divided by four; provided, however,
that payments under this subparagraph will be conditioned upon compliance with Section 6
of the Employee’s Restated Employment Agreement (Agreement Not to Compete) and
payments made under this subparagraph must be returned to the Bank if the
Employee violates the non-compete provisions contained in that non-compete
Section;

 

(iv)                                    the
Bank shall pay the Employee the amount that has accrued to the Employee under
the Long-Term Incentive Plan as of the first day of the month following the
Date of Termination;

 

(v)                                       (A) for
and during the period of time that the Employee is eligible for and properly
elects continued coverage under the Bank’s health and dental plans, the Bank
will continue to subsidize that coverage as if the Employee remained an active
employee of the Bank but for no more than 36 months following the Date of
Termination and only with respect to the level of health and dental insurance
coverage in which the Employee was enrolled immediately prior to the Notice of
Termination (e.g., single or family).  If
the Employee’s continuation coverage terminates for reasons other than
nonpayment of the Employee’s share of the cost of the coverage or fraud before
the Employee has received 36 months of coverage, then the Bank shall reimburse
the Employee for replacement health and dental coverage during the remainder of
the 36 months following the Date of Termination, but only with respect to the
level of health and dental insurance coverage in which the Employee was
enrolled immediately prior to the Notice of Termination (e.g., single or
family), and only in an amount up to the difference between the then COBRA
premium charged by the Bank (or its successor) to COBRA continuees and the
amount that active employees are required to pay for their coverage.  Such reimbursement may be made directly to
the provider of the Employee’s health and dental coverage or as a reimbursement
to the Employee upon the presentation of evidence of the cost and continuation
of such coverage.  Provided,

 

6

 

however, that all
health and dental benefits receivable by the Employee pursuant to this
Subsection (v)(A) shall be discontinued if the Employee obtains full-time
employment providing comparable health and dental benefits to Employee provided
in accordance with this Subsection (v)(A) during the 36-month period
following the Date of Termination; and

 

(B) for an 18-month period after the
Date of Termination, the Bank will continue to pay the premiums on the
Executive Disability Policy then covering the Employee, as well as the premiums
on the life insurance policy into which the Employee is permitted to convert
the Employee’s group term coverage from the Bank, but only during the time and
to the extent that the Employee continues such coverage under policies.

 

(vi)                                    payment
in accordance with the HF Financial Corp. Excess Plan for Executives;

 

(vii)                                 the
Bank shall pay for individual out-placement counseling services for the
Employee in an amount that shall not exceed $10,000 for a period of time not
extending beyond the end of the second calendar year following the calendar
year of the Employee’s Date of Termination to be reimbursed no later than 12
months following the date the expenses were incurred;

 

(viii)                              a
lump sum payment equal to $5,000 in lieu of reimbursement for financial
planning and tax preparation expenses;

 

(ix)                                      a
lump sum payment equal to the value of any other fringe benefits or perquisites
provided to the Employee immediately prior to the Employee’s Date of
Termination; and

 

(x)                                         in
accordance with the HF Financial Corp. 1991 and 2002 Stock Option and Incentive
Plan, the vesting of awards and lapsing of restrictions as set forth in the HF
Financial Corp. 1991 and 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and vesting of
similar awards under any successor equity incentive plan.

 

The payments provided for in Section 4(a) (i), (iii), (iv),
(viii), and (ix) above shall be made on the 60th day following the date
the Employee separated from service as defined in Section 409A of the Code
and regulations and guidance issued thereunder. The payments provided for in Section 4(a)(v),
if paid as reimbursements, shall be made within 30 days of a request for
reimbursement but only if the request is made within 60 days of the date that
the premium payment is due. Notwithstanding the above, if the Bank determines
that any of the payments in Section 4(a) are subject to 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of
the Code (or a successor provision), then any such payments shall be delayed until the earlier of the Employee’s death or
the first day of the month coincident with or next following the sixth month
anniversary of the Employee’s termination of employment and shall be
paid in a lump sum on that date.

 

b.                                      The
Bank shall also pay to the Employee any reasonable legal fees and reasonable
expenses incurred by the Employee (i) as a result of successful 

 

7

 

litigation against
the Bank for nonpayment of any benefit hereunder, or (ii) in connection
with any dispute with any Federal, state, or local governmental agency with
respect to benefits claimed under this Agreement. If the Employee utilizes
arbitration to resolve any such dispute, the Bank will pay any reasonable legal
fees and reasonable expenses incurred by the Employee in connection therewith.
Such reimbursement must be requested no later than two months after the
conclusion of the successful litigation and shall be paid within two months
after the request for reimbursement.

 

c.             The Employee shall
not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 4
by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment
provided for in this Section 4 be reduced by any compensation earned by
the Employee as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of
Termination, or otherwise, except as set forth in Section 4(a)(v) hereof.

 

5.                                       Certain
Reduction of Payments by the Bank. 
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event
it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Bank to or for
the benefit of the Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed or
distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a “Payment”)
would be nondeductible (in whole or part) by the Bank for Federal income tax
purposes because of Section 280G of the Code, then the aggregate present
value of amounts payable or distributable to or for the benefit of the Employee
pursuant to this Agreement (such amounts payable or distributable pursuant to
this Agreement are hereinafter referred to as “Agreement Payments”) shall be
reduced to the Reduced Amount.  The “Reduced
Amount” shall be an amount, not less than zero, expressed in present value,
which maximizes the aggregate present value of Agreement Payments without causing
any Payment to be nondeductible by the Bank because of Section 280G of the
Code.  For purposes of this Section 5,
present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of
the Code, or its successor. The Bank shall determine the reductions in such a
manner that to the extent possible, the provisions of Section 409A of the
Code are not violated.

 

6.                                       No
Exclusivity Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the
Employee’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive,
retirement or other plan or program provided by the Bank and for which the
Employee may qualify, nor, except as provided in Section 14, shall
anything herein limit or reduce such rights as the Employee may have under any
other agreement with, or plan, program, policy or practice of the Bank. Amounts
which are vested benefits or which the Employee is otherwise entitled to
receive under any agreement with, or plan, program, policy or practice of the
Bank (including, without limitation, the cash out of unused vacation days upon
termination of employment) shall be payable in accordance with such agreement,
plan, program, policy or practice, except as explicitly modified by this
Agreement.

 

7.                                       Compensation
Restrictions under CPP.  Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, because HF Financial Corp. is
participating in the capital purchase program (“CPP”) of the United States
Treasury Department (“Treasury”) 

 

8

 

established under
the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), compensation to the
Employee shall be restricted as follows:

 

a.                                       No
Golden Parachute Payments. The Bank is prohibiting any golden parachute payment
to the Employee during any “CPP Covered Periods.” A “CPP Covered Period” is any
period during which (i) the Employee is a senior executive officer and (ii) Treasury
holds an equity or debt position acquired from the Bank in the CPP. “Golden
parachute payment” is used with same meaning as in Section 111(b)(2)(C) of
EESA.  For purposes of this Section 7,
“Bank” includes any entities treated as a single employer with the Bank under
31 C.F.R. Section 30.1(b) (as in effect on the Closing Date of the
CPP purchase). The Bank shall determine any reductions in such a manner that to
the extent possible, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code are not
violated.

 

b.                                      Recovery
of Bonus and Incentive Compensation. Any bonus and incentive compensation paid
to the Employee during a CPP Covered Period and while the Employee is a senior
executive officer is subject to recovery or “clawback” by the Bank if the
payments were based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other
materially inaccurate performance metric criteria.

 

c.                                       Compensation
Program Amendments. Each of the Bank’s compensation, bonus, incentive and other
benefit plans, arrangements and agreements (including golden parachute,
severance and employment agreements) (collectively, “Benefit Plans”) with
respect to the Employee is hereby amended to the extent necessary to give
effect to provisions (a) and (b), including, but not limited to this
Agreement, the Employment Agreement, the Long Term Incentive Plan, the Short
Term Incentive Plan, any individual incentive program, and the Excess Pension
Plan.

 

In addition, the
Bank is required to review its Benefit Plans to ensure that they do not
encourage senior executive officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks
that threaten the value of the Bank. To the extent any such review requires
revisions to any Benefit Plan with respect to the Employee that the Bank does
not have the authority to change unilaterally, the Employee and the Bank agree
to negotiate such changes promptly and in good faith.

 

This Section 7 is intended to, and will be interpreted, administered
and construed to, comply with Section 111 of EESA (and, to the maximum
extent consistent with the preceding, to permit operation of the Benefit Plans
in accordance with their terms before giving effect to this Section 7 and
without violating the provisions of Section 409A of the Code).

 

8.                                       Successors.

 

a.                                       The

amount would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all
such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement to his devisee, legatee or other designee or,
if there is no such designee, to his estate or, if no estate, in accordance
with applicable law.

guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such
minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Company may require proof of

to claims of the Executive for benefits, other than claims governed by Section 8.3
below. The Company shall give notice to the Executive within 90 days of the
Executive’s written application for benefits of the Executive’s eligibility or
noneligibility for benefits under the Agreement. If 

 

6

 

the Company determines that the Executive is
not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth (a) the
specific reasons for such denial, (b) a specific reference to the
provision of the Agreement on which the denial is based, (c) a description
of any additional information or material necessary for the Executive to
perfect the claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (d) an
explanation of the Agreement’s claims review procedure and other appropriate
information as to the steps to be taken if the Executive wishes to have the
claim reviewed. If the Company determines that there are special circumstances
requiring additional time to make a decision, the Company shall give notice to
the Executive of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is
expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional 90-day
period.

 

8.2.                              Appeal of Claim Denial. If the Executive is determined by the
Company under Section 8.1 above to be not eligible for benefits, or if the
Executive believes that the Executive is entitled to greater or different
benefits, the Executive shall have the opportunity to have the claim reviewed
by filing a petition for review within 60 days after the Executive has been
given the notice issued by the Company. The petition shall be filed with the
Company. A petition shall state the specific reasons the Executive believes
that the Executive is entitled to benefits or greater or different benefits.
Within 60 days after the petition has been filed, the Company shall afford the
Executive an opportunity to present the Executive’s position to the Company, in
writing, and the Executive shall have the right to review pertinent documents.
The Company shall give notice to the Executive of its decision in writing
within said 60-day period, stating specifically the basis of the decision
written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Executive and the
specific provisions of the Agreement on which the decision is based. If because
of special circumstances, the 60-day period is not sufficient, the decision may
be deferred for up to another 60-day period at the election of the Company but
notice of this deferral shall be given to the Executive.

 

8.3.                              Disability Claim for Benefits. If an
Executive makes a claim for benefits under the Agreement that is contingent on
the Company determining that the Executive has a disability, the Company will
give notice to the Executive within 45 days of the Executive’s written
application for benefits of the Executive’s eligibility or noneligibility for
benefits under the Agreement. If special circumstances require an extension,
the Company will notify the Executive within the 45-day processing period that
additional time is needed. The notice will specify the circumstances requiring
the extension and the date a decision can be expected. The extension notice
will also: (a) explain the standards for approving a Disability claim; (b) state
the unresolved issue(s) that prevent the Company from reaching a decision;
and (c) describe any additional information needed to resolve the
issue(s). If the Company requests the Executive to provide additional
information so it can process the claim, the Executive will be given at least
45 days in which to provide the information. Otherwise, the initial extension
cannot exceed 30 days. If circumstances require further extension, the Company
will notify the Executive before the end of the initial 30-day extension. The
notice will specify the circumstances requiring the further extension and the
date a decision can be expected. In no event will a decision be postponed
beyond an additional 30 days after the end of the first 30-day extension. If
the Disability claim is denied based on an internal rule, guideline, protocol,
or other similar provision, in addition to the notice provisions 

 

7

 

described in this section, the Company’s
notice will provide that a copy of such rule, guideline, protocol or other
similar provision is available upon request and free of charge. The notice will
also identify any medical or vocational experts consulted on the claim. The
Executive may obtain reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents,
records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits and may
request, in writing, a list of medical or vocational experts consulted.

 

8.4.                              Review of a Denied Disability Claim. The
Executive may request a review of the Company’s decision regarding a Disability
claim within 180 days after receipt of the denial of the Disability claim. This
request must be in writing and addressed to the Company. The Executive may, but
is not required to, submit written comments, documents, records and other
information relating to the claim for benefits. The review will take into
account any such comments, documents, records and other information submitted
by the Executive relating to the claim, without regard to whether such
information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.
The review will be conducted by a Company official different from the Company
official who originally denied the claim. This Company official cannot be a
subordinate of the Company official who originally denied the claim. If the
original denial of the claim was based on a medical judgment, the reviewing
Company official will consult with an appropriate health care professional who
was not consulted on the original claim and who is not subordinate to someone
who was. The Executive will receive notice of the reviewing Company’s final
decision regarding the Disability claim within 45 days of the request for
review.

 

8.5.                              Deadline to File Claim. To be considered timely under the
claims procedures, a claim must be filed under Section 8.1 or 8.3 within
one year after the claimant knew or reasonably should have known of the
principal facts upon which the claim is based. Knowledge of all facts that the
Executive knew or reasonably should have known shall be imputed to the claimant
for the purpose of applying this deadline.

 

8.6.                              Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies. The
exhaustion of the claims procedures is mandatory for resolving every claim and
dispute arising under this Agreement. As to such claims and disputes: (a) No
claimant shall be permitted to commence any legal action to recover benefits or
to enforce or clarify rights under the Agreement under Section 502 or Section 510
of ERISA or under any other provision of law, whether or not statutory, until
the claims procedures have been exhausted in their entirety; and (b) In
any such legal action all explicit and all implicit determinations by the
Company and Company officials (including, but not limited to, determinations as
to whether the claim, or a request for a review of a denied claim, was timely
filed) shall be afforded the maximum deference permitted by law.

 

8.7.                              Deadline to File Legal Action. No legal
action to recover benefits or to enforce or clarify rights under the Agreement
under Section 502 or Section 510 of ERISA or under any other
provision of law, whether or not statutory, may be brought by any claimant on
any matter pertaining to this Agreement unless the legal action is commenced in
the proper forum before the earlier of: (a) 30 months after the claimant
knew or reasonably should have known of the principal facts on which the claim
is based, or (b) six months 

 

8

 

after the claimant has exhausted the claims
procedure under this Agreement. Knowledge of all facts that the Executive knew
or reasonably should have known shall be imputed to every claimant who is or
claims to be a beneficiary of the Executive or otherwise claims to derive an
entitlement by reference to the Executive for the purpose of applying the
previously specified periods.

 

8.8.                              Company Discretion; Court Review. The
Company and all persons determining or reviewing claims have full discretion to
determine benefit claims under the Agreement. Any interpretation, determination
or other action of such persons shall be subject to review only if it is
arbitrary or capricious or otherwise an abuse of discretion. Any review of a
final decision or action of the persons reviewing a claim shall be based only
on such evidence presented to or considered by such persons at the time they
made the decision that is the subject of review.

 

Article 9

Amendments and Termination

 

The Company
may amend or terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Executive’s
Termination of Employment by written notice to the Executive. In no event shall
this Agreement be terminated without payment to the Executive of the Deferral
Account balance attributable to the Executive’s deferrals and interest credited
on such amounts, except as provided in Section 7.1. To the extent
consistent with Section 409A of the Code, distribution shall be made in a
lump sum on the first day following the one year anniversary of the termination
of this Agreement.

 

Article 10

Miscellaneous

 

10.1.                        Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Executive
and the Company, and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators
and transferees.

 

10.2.                        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 Company, nor does it interfere with the Company’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.

 

10.3.                        Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be
sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.

 

10.4.                        Tax Withholding. The Company shall withhold any taxes
that are required to be withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement.

 

10.5.                        Applicable Law. The Agreement and all rights hereunder
shall be governed by the laws of South Dakota, except to the extent preempted
by the laws of the United States of America. It is the intent of the parties
that this Agreement be construed to avoid the income inclusion and tax
penalties described in Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be
interpreted in a manner consistent with that intent.

 

9

 

10.6.   Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and beneficiary are
general unsecured creditors of the Company for the payment of benefits under
this Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Company 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. Any insurance on the Executive’s life
is a general asset of the Company to which the Executive and beneficiary have
no preferred or secured claim.

 

10.7.   Reorganization. The Company shall not merge or consolidate
into or with another company, or reorganize, or sell substantially all of its
assets to another company, firm, or person unless such succeeding or continuing
company, firm, or person agrees to assume and discharge the obligations of the
Company under this Agreement.

 

10.8.   Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the Company and the Executive as to the subject matter hereof.
No rights are granted to the Executive by virtue of this Agreement other than
those specifically set forth herein.

 

10.9.   Administration. The Company shall have powers which are
necessary to administer this Agreement, including but not limited to:

 

10.9.1           Interpreting the provisions of the
Agreement;

 

10.9.2           Establishing and revising the method of
accounting for the Agreement;

 

10.9.3           Maintaining a record of benefit payments;
and

 

10.9.4           Establishing rules and prescribing any
forms necessary or desirable to administer the Agreement.

 

10.10. Plan Administrator. For purposes of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, if applicable, the Company shall be the plan
administrator under the Agreement. The plan administrator may delegate to
others certain aspects of the management and operation responsibilities of the
plan including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial
duties to qualified individuals.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive and a duly
authorized Company officer have signed this Agreement.
