A Director may, upon proper notice, reduce his Benefit Age so long as his Benefit Age, as modified, is not less than age sixty-five (65); provided however, that the Director has served on the Board for not less than ten {10) years from the effective date of this Plan.

(a)

If the Director’s service with the Bank is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated prior to the attainment of his Benefit Eligibility Date, for any reason other than for Cause, the Director’s death, disability, or following a Change in Control (as defined), the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall be entitled to the annuitized value (using the Interest Factor) of (i) his vested Accrued Benefit calculated as of the date of his termination of service, plus (ii) interest accrued on such vested Accrued Benefit from the date of termination until his Benefit Age.

 

 

 

 

 

Such benefit shall commence on the Director’s Benefit Eligibility Date and shall be payable in monthly installments throughout the Payout Period.

(b)

If the Director dies after his voluntary or involuntary termination of service occurring prior to his Benefit Eligibility Date, and prior to the commencement of benefits hereunder, the Director’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to the annuitized value {using the Interest Factor) of his Accrued Benefit. The payment of such benefit shall commence within thirty (30) days of the Director’s death. The benefit shall be payable in monthly installments over the Payout Period.

 

 

 

3.4

Termination of Service Related to a Change in Control.

 

 

 

 

(a)

If the Director’s service is terminated (either voluntarily or involuntarily) following or coincident with a Change in Control, the Director shall be entitled to his full Retirement Benefit (as if he had remained in service until his Benefit Age). Such benefit shall commence on the 1st day of the month following his termination of service and shall be payable in monthly installments throughout the Payout Period. In the event that the Director dies at any time after commencement of the payments, but prior to completion of all such payments due and owing hereunder, the Bank, or its successor, shall pay to the Director’s Beneficiary a continuation of the monthly installments for the remainder of the Payout Period.

If, after such termination, the Director dies prior to commencement of the benefits hereunder, the Director’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to the Survivor’s Benefit which shall commence within thirty (30) days of the Director’s death. The Survivor’s Benefit shall be payable in monthly installments over the Payout Period.

 

 

 

3.5

Termination for Cause. If the Director is terminated for Cause, all benefits under this Plan shall be forfeited and this Plan shall become null and void as to the Director.

If the Director’s service is terminated pursuant to this paragraph and Board of Director approval is obtained, the Director may elect to begin receiving the Disability Benefit in lieu of any benefit available under Section 3.3, which is not available prior to the Director’s Benefit Eligibility Date. The Disability Benefit shall equal the Director’s Accrued Benefit, annuitized {using the Interest Factor) over the Payout Period. The Disability Benefit shall be payable in monthly installments over the Payout Period commencing within thirty (30) days following the later of (i) the above mentioned disability determination and (ii) the approval of the Disability Benefit by the Board of Directors.

4



 

 

Beneficiaries, nor shall any asset be considered security for the performance of the obligations of the Bank. Any such asset shall be and remain, a general, unpledged, and unrestricted asset of the Bank

SECTION VI

RESTRICTIONS UPON FUNDING

 

 

          The Bank shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any fund or money with which to pay its obligations under this Plan. The Director, his Beneficiaries or any successor in interest to him shall be and remain simply a general unsecured creditor of the Bank in the same manner as any other creditor having a general claim for matured and unpaid compensation. The Bank reserves the absolute right in its sole discretion to either purchase assets to meet its obligations undertaken by this Plan or to refrain from the same and to determine the extent, nature, and method of such asset purchases. Should the Bank decide to purchase assets such as life insurance, mutual funds, disability policies or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such assets at any time, in whole or in part. At no time shall the Director be deemed to have any lien, right, title or interest in or to any specific investment or to any assets of the Bank. If the Bank elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity policy upon the life of the Director, then the Director shall assist the Bank by freely submitting to a physical examination and by supplying such additional information necessary to obtain such insurance or annuities.

SECTION VII

ALIENABILITY AND ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITION

 

 

         Neither the Director nor any Beneficiary under this Plan shall have any power or right to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate, mortgage, commute, modify or otherwise encumber in advance any of the benefits payable hereunder, nor shall any of said benefits be subject to seizure for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Director or his Beneficiary, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise. In the event the Director or any Beneficiary attempts assignment, communication, hypothecation, transfer or disposal of the benefits hereunder, the Bank’s liabilities shall forthwith cease and terminate.

SECTION VIII

ACT PROVISIONS

 

 

8.1

Named Fiduciary and Administrator. The Bank, as Administrator, shall be the Named Fiduciary of this Plan. As Administrator, the Bank shall be responsible for the management, control and administration of the Plan as established herein. The Administrator may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operational responsibilities of the Plan, including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.

 

 

8.2

Claims Procedure and Arbitration. In the event that benefits under this Plan are not paid to the Director (or to his Beneficiary in the case of the Director’s death) and such claimants feel they are entitled to receive such benefits, then a written claim must be made to the Administrator within sixty {60) days from the date payments are refused. The Bank and its Board of Directors shall review the written claim and, if the claim is denied, in whole or in part, they shall provide in writing, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such claim, their specific reasons for such denial, reference to the provisions of this Plan or the Joinder Agreement upon which the denial is based, and any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim. Such writing by the Bank and its Board of Directors shall further indicate the additional steps which must be undertaken by claimants if an additional review of the claim denial is desired.

 

 

 

If claimants desire a second review, they shall notify the Administrator in writing within sixty (60) days of the first claim denial. Claimants may review this Plan, the Joinder Agreement or any documents relating thereto and submit any issues and comments, in writing, they may feel appropriate. In its sole discretion, the Administrator shall then review the second claim and provide a written decision within sixty (60) days of receipt of such claim. This decision shall state the specific reasons for the decision and shall include reference to specific provisions of this Plan or the Joinder Agreement upon which the decision is based.

 

 

 

If claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon completed performance of this Plan and the Joinder Agreement or the meaning and effect of the terms and conditions thereof, then claimants may submit the dispute to mediation, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (or a mediator selected by the parties) in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Mediation Rules. If mediation is not successful in resolving the dispute, it shall be settled by arbitration administered by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

SECTION IX
