POLICY OWNERSHIP/INTERESTS

2.1 Bank Ownership. The Bank is the sole owner of the Policy and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership, except that the Bank shall not sell, surrender, or transfer ownership of a Policy without the Insured’s consent so long as the Insured has an interest in the Policy as described in section 2.2. The Bank shall be the beneficiary of the remaining death proceeds of the Policy after the Executive’s interest is paid according to section 2.2 below.

2.2 Death Benefit. Provided the Executive’s death occurs both before the Executive’s Separation from Service and before the Executive attains Normal Retirement Age, at the Executive’s death the Executive’s beneficiary designated in accordance with the Split Dollar Policy Endorsement shall be entitled to Policy proceeds in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 100% of the Net Death Proceeds or (y) $1,000,000 (the “Executive’s Interest”). The Executive shall have the right to designate the beneficiary of the Executive’s Interest. On the earlier of the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or the date on which the Executive attains Normal Retirement Age, the Executive’s Interest shall be extinguished, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Executive’s beneficiary shall be entitled to no benefits under this Agreement for the Executive’s death occurring thereafter.

2.3 Option to Purchase. The Bank shall not sell, surrender, or transfer ownership of the Policy before the earlier of the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or the date on which the Executive attains Normal Retirement Age without first giving the Executive or the Executive’s transferee the option for a period of 60 days to purchase the Policy. The purchase price shall be an amount equal to the Policy cash surrender value. The option to purchase the Policy shall lapse if not exercised within 60 days after the date the Bank gives written notice of the Bank’s intention to sell, surrender, or transfer ownership of the Policy. This provision shall not impair the Bank’s rights to terminate this Agreement.

2.4 Comparable Coverage. The Bank shall maintain the Policy in full force and effect. The Bank may not amend, terminate, or otherwise abrogate the Executive’s interest in the Policy before the earlier of the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service or the date on which the Executive attains Normal Retirement Age unless the Bank replaces the Policy with a comparable insurance policy to cover the benefit provided under this Agreement and executes a new split dollar agreement and endorsement for the comparable insurance policy. The Policy or any comparable policy shall be subject to claims of the Bank’s creditors.

2.5 Internal Revenue Code Section 1035 Exchanges. The Executive recognizes and agrees that the Bank may after this Agreement is adopted wish to exchange the Policy of life insurance on the Executive’s life for another contract of life insurance insuring the Executive’s life. Provided that the Policy

2

is replaced (or intended to be replaced) with a comparable policy of life insurance, the Executive agrees to provide medical information and cooperate with medical insurance-related testing required by a prospective insurer for implementing the Policy or, if necessary, for modifying or updating to a comparable insurer.

ARTICLE 3

PREMIUMS

3.1 Premium Payment. The Bank shall pay any premiums due on the Policy.

3.2 Economic Benefit. The Administrator shall annually determine the economic benefit attributable to the Executive based on the life insurance premium factor for the Executive’s age multiplied by the aggregate death benefit payable to the Executive’s beneficiary. The “life insurance premium factor” is the minimum factor applicable under guidance published pursuant to Treasury Reg. section 1.61-22(d)(3)(ii) or any subsequent authority.

3.3 Imputed Income. The Bank shall impute the economic benefit to the Executive on an annual basis, by adding the economic benefit to the Executive’s W-2 or Form 1099, as appropriate.

ARTICLE 4

ASSIGNMENT

The Executive may irrevocably assign without consideration all of the Executive’s Interest in the Policy and in this Agreement to any person, entity, or trust established by the Executive or the Executive’s spouse. If the Executive transfers all of the Executive’s Interest in the Policy, all of the Executive’s Interest in the Policy and in the Agreement shall be vested in the Executive’s transferee, who shall be substituted as a party hereunder and the Executive shall have no further interest in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5

INSURER

The Insurer shall be bound by the terms of the Policy only. Any payments the Insurer makes or actions it takes in accordance with the Policy shall fully discharge it from all claims, suits, and demands of all entities or persons.
