Article I

Introduction

Section 1.01 Purpose, Design and Intent.

 

(a) The purpose of the Jefferson Federal Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) is to assist Jefferson Federal Bank (the “Bank”) and its affiliates in retaining the services of key employees until their retirement, to induce such employees to use their best efforts to enhance the business of the Bank and its affiliates, and to provide certain supplemental retirement benefits to such employees.

(c) The adoption and maintenance of this Plan shall not be construed as creating any contract of employment or service between the Bank or an Affiliate and any Participant or other individual.

10


Section 9.06 Incompetent Individuals.

The Committee may from time to time establish rules and procedures which it determines to be necessary for the proper administration of the Plan and the benefits payable to a Participant or beneficiary in the event that such Participant or beneficiary is declared incompetent and a conservator or other person legally charged with that Participant’s or beneficiary’s care is appointed. Except as otherwise provided herein, when the Committee determines that such Participant or beneficiary is unable to manage his or her financial affairs, the Committee may pay such Participant’s or beneficiary’s benefits to such conservator, person legally charged with such Participant’s or beneficiary’s care, or institution then contributing toward or providing for the care and maintenance of such Participant or beneficiary. Any such payment shall constitute a complete discharge of any liability of the Bank or an Affiliate and the Plan for such Participant or beneficiary.

Section 9.07 Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Bank.

Subject to Section 8.03, the Plan may be continued after a sale of assets of the Bank, or a merger or consolidation of the Bank into or with another corporation or entity only if and to the extent that the transferee, purchaser or successor entity agrees to continue the Plan. Additionally, upon a merger, consolidation or other change in control any amounts credited to Participant’s deferral accounts shall be placed in a grantor trust to the extent not already in such a trust. In the event that the Plan is not continued by the transferee, purchaser or successor entity, then the Plan shall be terminated subject to the provisions of Section 8.03 of the Plan. Any legal fees incurred by a Participant in determining benefits to which such Participant is entitled under the Plan following a sale, merger, or consolidation of the Bank or an Affiliate of which the Participant is an Employee or, if applicable, a member of the Board of Directors, shall be paid by the resulting or succeeding entity.

Section 9.08 Location of Participants.

Section 9.12 Specified Employees.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if when a Separation from Service occurs a Participant is a Specified Employee, the Participant’s benefit shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum without interest on the first payroll date of the seventh month following the date on which the Separation from Service occurs.

Section 9.13 Section 409A.

It is intended that the Plan is intended to be a plan that is not qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code, so as to prevent the inclusion in gross income of any benefits accrued hereunder in a taxable year prior to the taxable year or years in which such amount would otherwise be actually distributed or made available to the Participants. The Plan shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent.

Section 9.14 409A Application.
