PARTICIPANTS’ ACCOUNTS

Section 4.1.  Establishment of Accounts.  The Committee shall create and maintain adequate records to disclose the interest in the Plan of each Participant and Beneficiary.  Records shall be in the form of individual bookkeeping accounts, which shall be credited with the contributions and interest determined pursuant to Article V.  Each Participant shall have a separate Account.  The Participant’s interest in his Account shall be fully vested at all times.

Section 4.2.  Accounts Unfunded.  Accounts shall be accounting accruals, in the names of Participants, on the Bank’s books.  Accounts shall be unfunded, so that the Bank’s obligation to pay benefits under the Plan is merely a contractual duty to make payments when due under the Plan.  The Bank’s promise to pay benefits under the Plan shall not be secured in any way, and the Bank shall not set aside or segregate assets for the purpose of paying contributions and interest credited to Participants’ Accounts.

ARTICLE V

CONTRIBUTIONS AND INTEREST

Section 5.1.  Basic Contributions.  For each Plan Year, there shall be credited to the Account of each Participant an amount that is reasonably calculated to equal the amount by which:

(a)  
the Participant’s employer-funded contributions under all Qualified Plans for the Plan Year determined without application of the limitations imposed by Code subsection 401(a)(17) or Code section 415, exceeds
 
(b)  
the amount of the Participant’s employer-funded contributions under all Qualified Plans for the Plan Year determined after application of the limitations imposed by Code subsection 401(a)(17) and Code section 415.
 

Section 5.2.  Interest on Accounts.  Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account during each Plan Year shall earn interest at a rate which is the lower of either (i) the interest rate paid on the Bank’s regular six-month certificate of deposit, plus 2%, or (ii) 120% of the applicable federal long-term rate (compounded quarterly) in effect during the month in which the Committee determines the appropriate interest rate for the applicable Plan Year.    Interest shall be credited quarterly.
 
ARTICLE VI
 
BENEFITS

Section 6.1.  Termination of Employment.  If the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment, the Participant’s Account shall be distributed to the Participant (or, in the event of his death, to his Beneficiary) in monthly installments for 60 months within 90 days after termination of employment.  However, a “specified employee” as that term is defined under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder, may not receive any benefit payments within six months of separation from service unless the employee dies in the interim.  The company has complete discretion as to how the six-month delay will be handled.  The determination of “specified employees” shall take affect on the April 1st immediately following each calendar year determination period.

Section 6.2.  Designation of Beneficiary.  A Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the person or persons, including a trustee, designated by the Participant in writing pursuant to the practices of, or rules prescribed by, the Committee, as the recipient of any benefits payable under the Plan following the Participant’s death.  To be effective, a Beneficiary designation must be filed with the Committee during the Participant’s life on a form prescribed by the Committee.  If no person has been designated as the Participant’s Beneficiary or if no person designated as Beneficiary survives the Participant, the Participant’s estate shall be his Beneficiary.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1.  Relationship.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Plan and action taken pursuant to it shall not be deemed or construed to establish a trust or fiduciary relationship of any kind between or among the Bank, Participants, Beneficiaries or any other persons.  The Plan is intended to be unfunded for purposes of the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.  The rights of Participants and Beneficiaries to receive payment of benefits under the Plan is strictly a contractual right of payment, and this Plan does not grant, nor shall it be deemed to grant Participants, Beneficiaries, or any other person any interest or right to any of the funds, property, or assets of the Bank other than as an unsecured general creditor of the Bank.

Section 9.2.  Other Benefits and Plans.  Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to prevent Participants from receiving, in addition to the benefits provided for under this Plan, any funds that may be distributable to them at any time under any other present or future retirement or incentive plan maintained by the Bank.

Section 9.3.  Anticipation of Benefits.  Neither Participants nor Beneficiaries shall have the power to transfer, assign, anticipate, pledge, alienate, or otherwise encumber in advance any of the payments that may become due under this Plan, and any attempt to do so shall be void.  Any payments that may become due under this Plan shall not be subject to attachment, garnishment, execution, or be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency, or otherwise.

Section 9.4.  No Guarantee of Continued Employment.  Nothing contained in this Plan or any action taken under the Plan shall be construed as a contract of employment or as giving any participant any right to be retained in employment with the Bank.  The Bank specifically reserves the right to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time with or without cause, and with or without notice or assigning a reason, subject to the terms of any written employment agreement between the Participant and the Bank.


Section 9.5.  Waiver of Breach.  The Bank’s or the Committee’s waiver of any Plan provision shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant.

Section 9.6.  Benefit.  This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Employer and its successors and assigns.

Section 9.7.  Responsibility for Legal Affect.  Neither the Committee nor the Bank makes any recommendations or warranties, express or implied, assumes any responsibility concerning the legal context, or other implications or affects of this Plan.

Section 9.8.  Tax Withholding.  The Bank shall withhold from any payment made under the Plan such amount or amounts as may be required by applicable federal, state, or local laws.

Peoples Bank, a State Savings Bank, has caused this Plan to be executed by its duly authorized officers as of the 26th day of February 2010.
