Unfunded Arrangement.  The Executive and the Beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of the Bank for the distribution of benefits under this Agreement.  The benefits represent the mere promise by the Bank to distribute such benefits.  The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors.  Any insurance on the Executive's life or other informal funding asset is a general asset of the Bank to which the Executive and Beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.

9.7

Reorganization. The Bank shall not merge or consolidate into or with another bank, or reorganize, or sell substantially all of its assets to another bank, firm, or person unless such succeeding or continuing bank, firm, or person agrees to assume and discharge the obligations of the Bank under this Agreement.  Upon the occurrence of such event, the term “Bank” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the successor or survivor bank.

9.8

Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Bank and the Executive as to the subject matter hereof.  No rights are granted to the Executive by virtue of this Agreement other than those specifically set forth herein.

9.9

Interpretation.  Wherever the fulfillment of the intent and purpose of this Agreement requires, and the context will permit, the use of the masculine gender includes the feminine and use of the singular includes the plural.

9.10

Alternative Action.  In the event it shall become impossible for the Bank or the Plan Administrator to perform any act required by this Agreement, the Bank or Plan Administrator may in its discretion perform such alternative act as most nearly carries out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and is in the best interests of the Bank, provided that such alternative acts do not violate Section 409A of the Code.

9.11

Headings.  Article and section headings are for convenient reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.

9.12

Validity.  In case any provision of this Agreement shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision has never been inserted herein.

9.14

Litigation Expenses.  Any legal Expenses incurred by the Executive or any Beneficiary relating to the enforcement or enforceability of any benefit obligations hereunder shall be paid or reimbursed by the Bank to the extent permitted by law; provided however, that except as provided below, the maximum aggregate payment and reimbursement of legal expenses under this Section 9.14 with respect to the Executive or any Beneficiary shall not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000); provided further, that this Ten Thousand Dollar ($10,000) limitation shall be reduced by the amount of any legal expenses incurred by the Executive or any Beneficiary which were paid or reimbursed by the Bank under any other plan or arrangement entered into by the Bank and Executive.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.14 to the contrary, the Executive or any Beneficiary shall be entitled to payment or reimbursement of legal expenses in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) if the expenses were incurred as a result of bona fide claims under this Agreement in which the Executive or any Beneficiary obtains a final judgment in their favor from a court of competent jurisdiction or their claim is settled by the Bank prior to the rendering of a judgment by such a court.

9.15

Compliance with Section 409A.  This Agreement shall at all times be administered and the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any and all regulations thereunder, including such regulations as may be promulgated after the Effective Date of this Agreement.

9.16

280G Limits.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Bank’s independent public accountants determine that any payment by the Bank to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, would be non-deductible by the Bank for federal income tax purposes because of Section 280G of the Code, then the amount payable to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount.  For purposes of this Section 9.16, the “Reduced Amount” shall be the amount which maximizes the amount payable without causing the payment to be non-deductible by the Bank because of Section 280G of the Code.
