7.2 Suspension of Agreement. The Bank may, in its sole discretion and prior to commencement of benefits under this Agreement, suspend this Agreement and cease all future accruals thereunder as of the date the Agreement is suspended.

Article 8
Miscellaneous
8.1. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Executive and the Bank, and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators, and permitted transferees.
8.2. 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 Bank, nor does it interfere with the Banks right to discharge the Executive. It also does not require the Executive to remain an employee nor interfere with the Executives right to terminate employment at any time.
8.3. Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner, except in accordance with Article 4 with respect to designation of Beneficiaries.

The benefits represent the mere promise by the Bank to pay such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance by the Executive or attachment or garnishment by the Executives creditors. Any insurance on the Executives life is a general asset of the Bank to which the Executive and Beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.
8.7. Severability. Without limitation of any other section contained herein, in case any one or more provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement. In the event any one or more of the provisions found in the Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by any governmental regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been a part of this Agreement and such provision shall be deemed substituted by such other provisions as will most nearly accomplish the intent of the parties to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The named fiduciary may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operation responsibilities of the Agreement, including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.
8.11. Full Obligation. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, when the Bank has paid either any of the lifetime benefits or death benefits as appropriate under any section of the Agreement, the Bank has completed its obligation to the Executive.
8.12. Code Section 409A. Should any provision of this Agreement cause immediate taxation and penalty to the Executive or the Bank as written in this Agreement, that provision shall be interpreted to comply with Code section 409A while maintaining its original intent as much as possible.
