Article 2
Lifetime Benefits

2.1 Normal Retirement. For Separation from Service on or after Normal Retirement Age, the Company shall pay to the Director the benefit described in this section 2.1 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. However, no benefits shall be payable if this Agreement terminates under Article 5.

2.1.1 Amount of benefit. The annual benefit under this section 2.1 is $10,000.

2.1.2 Payment of benefit. Beginning with the month immediately after the month in which the Director’s Separation from Service occurs, the Company shall pay the annual benefit to the Director in 12 equal monthly installments on the first day of each month. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Director for ten years.

2.2 Early Termination. After Early Termination, the Company shall pay to the Director the benefit described in this section 2.2 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. However, no benefits shall be payable if this Agreement terminates under Article 5. Neither the Director nor the Company shall be entitled to elect in the 12-month period after a Change in Control between the benefit under this section 2.2 versus the benefit under section 2.4. If the Director’s Separation from Service occurs within 12 months after a Change in Control, no benefit shall be payable under this section 2.2 and the Director shall instead be entitled to the benefit under section 2.4 or, if the Director first attained Normal Retirement Age, section 2.1.

2.2.1 Amount of benefit. The annual benefit under this section 2.2 is calculated as the amount that fully amortizes the Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month immediately before the month in which Separation from Service occurs, amortizing that Accrual Balance over ten years and taking into account interest at the discount rate or rates established by the Plan Administrator.

2.2.2 Payment of benefit. Beginning with the month immediately after the month in which the Director attains Normal Retirement Age, the Company shall pay the annual benefit to the Director in 12 equal monthly installments on the first day of each month. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Director for ten years.

2.3.1 Amount of benefit. The annual benefit under this section 2.3 is calculated as the amount that fully amortizes the Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month immediately before the month in which Separation from Service occurs, amortizing that Accrual Balance over ten years and taking into account interest at the discount rate or rates established by the Plan Administrator.

2.3.2 Payment of benefit. Beginning with the month immediately after the month in which the Director attains Normal Retirement Age, the Company shall pay the annual benefit to the Director in 12 equal monthly installments on the first day of each month. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Director for ten years.

2.4 Change in Control. If the Director’s Separation from Service occurs within 12 months after a Change in Control, the Company shall pay to the Director the benefit described in this section 2.4 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. However, no benefits shall be payable under this Agreement if this Agreement terminates under Article 5. Neither the Director nor the Company shall be entitled to elect in the 12-month period after a Change in Control between the benefit under this section 2.4 versus the Early Termination benefit under section 2.2.

If the Director’s Separation from Service occurs within 12 months after a Change in Control, no benefit shall be payable under section 2.2 and the Director shall instead be entitled to the benefit under this section 2.4. But if the Director shall have attained Normal Retirement Age when Separation from Service within 12 months after a Change in Control occurs, the Director shall be entitled solely to the benefit provided by section 2.1, not this section 2.4.

2.4.1 Amount of benefit. The benefit under this section 2.4 is the Accrual Balance on the date of the Director’s Separation from Service.

2.4.2 Payment of benefit. The Company shall pay this benefit to the Director in a single lump sum three days after the Director’s Separation from Service.

2.5 Lump-Sum Payout of Remaining Normal Retirement Benefit, Early Termination Benefit, or Disability Benefit When a Change in Control Occurs. If a Change in Control occurs while the Director is receiving the Normal Retirement Age benefit under section 2.1, the Company shall pay the remaining salary continuation benefits to the Director in a single lump sum three days after the Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs after Separation from Service but while the Director is receiving or is entitled at Normal Retirement Age to receive the Early Termination benefit under section 2.2 or the Disability benefit under section 2.3, the Company shall pay the remaining salary continuation benefits to the Director in a single lump sum three days after the Change in Control. The lump-sum payment due to the Director as a result of a Change in Control shall be an amount equal to the Accrual Balance amount corresponding to the particular benefit when the Change in Control occurs.

2.6 Annual Benefit Statement. Within 120 days after the end of each Plan Year the Plan Administrator shall provide or cause to be provided to the Director an annual benefit statement showing benefits payable or potentially payable to the Director under this Agreement. Each annual benefit statement shall supersede the previous year’s annual benefit statement. If there is a contradiction between this Agreement and the annual benefit statement concerning the amount of a particular benefit payable or potentially payable to the Director under sections 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 hereof, the amount of the benefit determined under the Agreement shall control.

2.7 Savings Clause Relating to Compliance with Code Section 409A. If any provision of this Agreement would subject the Director to additional tax or interest under Code section 409A, the Company shall reform the provision. However, the Company shall maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without subjecting the Director to additional tax or interest, and the Company shall not be required to incur any additional compensation expense as a result of the reformed provision.

2.8 One Benefit Only. Despite anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Director and Beneficiary are entitled to one benefit only under this Agreement, which shall be determined by the first event to occur that is dealt with by this Agreement. Except as provided in section 2.5 or Article 3, subsequent occurrence of events dealt with by this Agreement shall not entitle the Director or Beneficiary to other or additional benefits under this Agreement.

3.3 Death Before Normal Retirement Age but After Separation from Service. (a) After payments begin. If, a Separation from Service before Normal Retirement Age having previously occurred, the Director dies after Early Termination benefits under section 2.2 or Disability benefits under section 2.3 begin but before receiving all such payments, the Company shall pay the remaining benefits to the Director’s Beneficiary at the same time and in the same amounts the payments would have been made to the Director had the Director survived.

(b) Before payments begin. If, a Separation from Service before Normal Retirement Age having previously occurred, the Director is entitled at Normal Retirement Age to the Early Termination benefit under section 2.2 or the Disability benefit under section 2.3 but dies before the benefit payments begin, the Company shall pay to the Director’s Beneficiary the Early Termination benefit under section 2.2 or the Disability benefit under section 2.3, as the case may be, but the benefit payments shall begin on the first day of the month immediately after the month in which the Director’s death occurs.

3.4 Death After Separation from Service After Normal Retirement Age. (a) After payments begin. If, a Separation from Service on or after Normal Retirement Age having previously occurred, the Director dies after benefit payments under section 2.1 begin but before receiving all such payments, the Company shall pay the remaining benefits to the Director’s Beneficiary at the same time and in the same amounts the payments would have been made to the Director had the Director survived.

(b) Before payments begin.
