Any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of liability therefor. |
14. | Taxes. To the extent required by the law in effect at the time payments are made, the Bank shall withhold any taxes required to be withheld by the federal or any state or local government from payments made hereunder. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.

The retirement benefit shall be paid over a period of 10 years. If Director should die at a time when payments under this paragraph are due to commence or have commenced and before the payments provided for herein have been made, the unpaid balance will continue to be paid in installments to his designated beneficiary until such time as a total of all payments have been made. The portion of the Directorss Account to be paid to Director during each year shall be as follows : |
Installment No. | Portion of Account to be Paid | |
1 | 1/10 | |
2 | 1/9 | |
3 | 1/8 | |
4 | 1/7 | |
5 | 1/6 | |
6 | 1/5 | |
7 | 1/4 | |
8 | 1/3 | |
9 | 1/2 | |
10 | Remaining Balance |
4. | Survivor Benefits. Upon Directors death prior to age 65, the Association shall pay Directors designated beneficiary an annual sum of Thirty-six thousand Dollars |
-2-
($36,000.00) for a period of 10 years. In lieu of this survivor benefit, the Directors designated beneficiary may elect to receive the balance in the Directors Deferred Benefit Account over a period of 10 years as provided in paragraph 3. |
5. | Termination of Deferrals. Notwithstanding paragraphs 3 and 4 above, if Director does not make deferrals for 72 months as provided in paragraph 1 for any reason other than the Directors death, Directors benefits shall be limited to a lump sum payment consisting of the amounts previously deferred pursuant to paragraph 1, but without any interest thereon, payable six years from the date of this Agreement. |
6. | Frequency of Payment. Payments to be made pursuant to paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 shall be made in monthly installments. The Association may, in its absolute discretion, accelerate the payment of any amounts provided herein to the extent it desires, or commute any installment payments into a single lump sum payment equal to the present value of the right to receive such future installment payments. In the calculation of such lump sum present value, Association shall use an interest rate equal to the average interest rate obtained in three quotations from commercial insurers licensed to do business in Wisconsin for a fixed term annuity corresponding to the remaining future installments being commuted. |
7. | Designation of Beneficiary Director shall have the right to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any death benefit provided herein. Such designation of beneficiary shall be delivered in writing to Association and may be changed by Director, at any time by written notice delivered to Association. If no beneficiary has been designated or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Director, the death benefit shall be payable to Directors estate. If the beneficiary or beneficiaries who survive Director die before receiving the full amount of any benefits payable hereunder, such benefits shall be paid to the estate of the last such beneficiary to die. |
8. | No Trust Created. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or fiduciary relationship between the Association and Director, his designated beneficiary or any other person. Any funds which may be invested or assets which may be acquired by Association relating to this Agreement shall continue for all purposes to be a part of the general funds of Association and no person other than Association shall by virtue of the provisions of this Agreement have any interest in such funds or assets. To the extent that any person acquires a right to |
-3-
receive payment from Association under this Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of Association. |
9. | Assignment Not Permitted. Except as provided in paragraph 7 hereof, the right of Association or any other person to the payment of deferred compensation or other benefits under this Agreement shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered. |
10. | Duty of Cooperation. The Director shall, as a condition precedent to the receipt of any benefits under this Agreement, cooperate with the Association in undergoing any medical examinations and providing any information reasonably necessary in connection with the Agreement. In the event of the Directors death during the first two (2) years of his participation, then should such death have been a suicide or should Director be uninsurable or should the Director have made any material mis-statement or failed to make a material disclosure of information in any documentation which the Director is requested to complete in connection with this Agreement, no death benefits under the terms of this Agreement will be payable other than a return of Directors prior deferrals without interest, unless and to the extent that the Board of Directors of Association, in their absolute discretion, may otherwise determine. |
11. | Agreement Binding. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit to Association, its successors and assigns and of Director and his heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. This instrument contains the entire agreement between the parties and may not be amended orally, but only by agreement in writing signed by both parties. |
12. | Competence of Payees. Every person receiving or claiming payments hereunder shall be conclusively presumed to be mentally competent until the date on which the Association receives a written notice, in form and manner acceptable to it, that such person is incompetent and that a guardian, conservator, or other person legally vested with the management of his estate has been appointed. In the event a guardian or conservator of the estate or any person receiving or claiming payments hereunder shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, payments may be made to such guardian or conservator provided that proper proof of appointment and continuing qualification is furnished in a form and manner acceptable to the Association. Any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of liability therefor. |
-4-
13. | Taxes. To the extent required by the law in effect at the time payments are made, the Association shall withhold any taxes required to be withheld by the federal or any state or local government from payments made hereunder. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first set forth above.
