WHEREAS, the Agreement is designed to provide retirement benefits to the Executive upon certain enumerated events, payable out of the Bank’s general assets; and

WHEREAS, the Bank and the Executive have agreed to amend the Agreement to provide additional benefits per this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, effective May 7, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), the Bank and the Executive hereby amend the Agreement as follows:

For purposes of satisfying its obligations to provide benefits under the Plan and this Amendment, the Bank has invested in a Flexible Premium Indexed Deferred Annuity Contract issued by _________________ Insurance Company, contract #________ (the “Annuity Contract(s)”), and may invest in such other annuity contracts (a) as the Bank may purchase from time to time in accordance with the Plan, the income value of which the Bank intends to serve as the measure of the Plan benefit for Executive and (b) are identified by Policy number in writing by the Bank as an “Annuity Contract” under the Plan. However, nothing in this Section shall require the Bank to invest in any particular form of investment. The Bank is the sole owner of the Annuity Contract, and other such investments, and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership, shall be the beneficiary of any death proceeds and shall at all times be entitled to the Annuity Contract’s cash surrender value. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Bank shall have the right to sell or surrender any Annuity Contract without terminating the Plan and this Amendment, provided the Bank replaces the Annuity Contract with a comparable annuity policy or asset of comparable value, with a comparable lifetime withdrawal feature and comparable benefit value.  Without limitation, the Annuity Contract at all times shall be the exclusive property of the Bank and shall be subject to the claims of the Bank’s creditors.

 

 

  1. Provision of Benefits for the Normal Retirement Benefit.

During the period that the Original Retirement Benefit amount is payable, the Original Retirement Benefit amount shall be offset by the Lifetime Retirement Benefit amount. In all respects other than the offset, the Original Retirement Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan in a manner consistent therewith and with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, during the period that the Original Retirement Benefit amount is payable, the amount of the Lifetime Retirement Benefit that is equal to the Original Retirement Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Original Retirement Benefit in a manner consistent the Plan and with Section 409A of the Code.

A separate benefit amount shall be determined equal to a portion of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract, as described below, designated under this Amendment through the cash withdrawal rider and shall commence at the same time as the Original Early Separation Benefit, payable to the Executive for the life of the Executive (the “Lifetime Early Separation Benefit”). During the period that the Original Early Separation Benefit amount is payable, the Original Early Separation Benefit amount shall be offset by the Lifetime Early Separation Benefit amount.

    1. The portion of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract is a percentage of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract through the Rider at Normal Retirement Age.

  1. Provision of Benefits for Change in Control. In the event that benefits become payable under paragraph 3.6 of the Plan, the benefit amount shall be determined in accordance with the Plan and shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding the preceding, if the Executive has previously elected a lump sum payment in lieu of receiving one hundred eighty (180) equal monthly installments in the case of a Separation from Service within 24 months following the Change in Control, the Bank shall transfer ownership of the Annuity Contracts to the Executive and this transfer of ownership shall be payment in kind and payment in full of the Executive’s Change in Control Benefit. In this event, the Executive shall become the sole owner of the Annuity Contracts and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership, shall have the right to name the beneficiary of any death proceeds and shall at all times be entitled to the Annuity Contracts’ cash surrender value.

During the period that the Original Disability Benefit amount is payable, the Original Disability Benefit amount shall be offset by the Lifetime Disability Benefit amount. In all respects other than the offset, the Original Disability Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Plan in a manner consistent therewith and with Section 409A of the Code. In addition, during the period that the Original Disability Benefit amount is payable, the amount of the Lifetime Disability Benefit that is equal to the Original Disability Benefit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Original Disability Benefit in a manner consistent the Plan and with Section 409A of the Code.
