SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN JOINDER AGREEMENT

 

I, SAMUEL J. COX, and CITIZENS TRUST BANK hereby agree that in exchange for termination of my Life Insurance Endorsement Method Split Dollar Plan Agreement (“Split Dollar Agreement”), and for other good and valuable consideration, the value of which is hereby acknowledged,

 

that I shall participate in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“Plan”) established as of July 1, 2008, by CITIZENS TRUST BANK, as such Plan may now exist or hereafter be modified, and do further agree to the terms and conditions thereof.  I acknowledge and agree that this Plan supersedes and replaces my Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan Agreement (the “Indexed Retirement Plan”) in which I previously participated.  Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan.

 

I understand that I must execute and return a copy of this Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Joinder Agreement (“Joinder Agreement”) to the Plan Administrator in order to participate in the Plan.  The provisions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of an inconsistency between the terms of this Joinder Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control.

 

I understand that, unless otherwise set forth herein, any benefit payable to me or my Beneficiary hereunder shall be payable over 180 months (the “Payout Period”).

 

Benefit Age.  My Benefit Age is sixty-five (65).

 

Retirement on or After Benefit Age.  I understand that I will receive my Supplemental Retirement Benefit following my Separation from Service on or after attaining my Benefit Age.  My projected annual Supplemental Retirement Benefit is $57,900.00.  My Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be payable in 180 monthly installments of $4,825.00 commencing within 90 days following my Benefit Eligibility Date.

 

Voluntary or Involuntary Separation from Service on or After Age 62 and Before Benefit Age.  I understand that if I have a voluntary or involuntary Separation from Service on or after age 62, I will be entitled to the Supplemental Early Retirement Benefit commencing within 90 days following my Separation from Service.  My Supplemental Early Retirement Benefit will be determined based on my age at Separation from Service, as set forth below:

Voluntary or Involuntary Separation from Service Without Cause Prior to Age 62.  In the event of my voluntary or involuntary Separation from Service (other than due to Cause) prior to attainment of Age 62, I will be entitled to my Accrued Benefit determined as of the date of my involuntary or voluntary Separation from Service.  My Accrued Benefit will be paid to me in a lump sum within 90 days after my Separation from Service, subject to the timing rules for Specified Employees.

 

Termination for Cause.  I understand that if I have a termination for Cause, my entire benefit under this Plan shall be forfeited.

 



 

Death Benefit.

 

·                  Death Prior to Separation from Service.  I understand that if I die at any time while still employed with the Bank prior to attaining my Benefit Age, my Beneficiary will be entitled to 100% of my Accrued Benefit as a Survivor Benefit, whether or not I am fully vested in my Accrued Benefit at such time.  My Survivor Benefit shall commence within 90 days following my date of death and shall be payable in a lump sum to my Beneficiary.

 

·                  Death Following Separation From Service.   I understand that in the event I die at any time on or after my Separation from Service, whether before or after commencement of my benefit,  my Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive payment of the benefit to which I was entitled prior to my death.   If my death occurs prior to commencement of my benefit or after commencement but prior to completion of all such payments owed to me under the Plan, the Bank shall pay my Beneficiary the remaining monthly installments of my Supplemental Retirement Benefit for the remainder of the Payout Period.

 

·                  Burial and/or Funeral Expenses.  I understand that in addition to the above, my Beneficiary shall be entitled to a $10,000 death benefit for the payment of burial and/or funeral expenses following my death.  Such death benefit will be paid in a lump sum within 90 days following my death.

 

Benefit Following Separation from Service After a Change in Control.

 

·                  Separation from Service Within 2 Years After Change in Control.  I understand that if there is a Change in Control followed within 2 years by my Separation from Service, I will be entitled to my Accrued Benefit, payable in a lump sum within 90 days  after my Separation from Service.  I understand that my Accrued Benefit shall be reduced, if necessary to avoid an excise tax under Code Sections 280G and 4999.

 

·                  Separation from Service More than 2 Years After a Change in Control:

 

·                  Prior to Age 62.  If my Separation from Service occurs more than 2 years following a Change in Control and before I reach age 62, I will receive my Accrued Benefit payable in a lump sum within 90 days of my Separation from Service.

Restriction on Timing of Payment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, I understand that in the event that I am a Specified Employee (as defined in the Plan) in accordance with Section 3.7 of the Plan, then, any payment which I am entitled for the first 6 months following my Separation from Service with

I hereby acknowledge and agree that my interest in the Split Dollar Agreement is terminated in connection with my participation in this Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.  This Joinder Agreement shall become effective upon execution (below) by both Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Bank.
