2.
Purpose. The purposes of the Plan are:
(a)
to provide, from and after January 1, 2005, an alternative method of compensating members (the “Directors”) of the boards of directors of PSB Holdings and the Bank and any other Subsidiary which has been designated by PSB Holdings to participate in the Plan, whether or not they otherwise receive compensation as employees, in order to aid PSB Holdings and its Subsidiaries in attracting and retaining as Directors persons whose abilities, experience, and judgment can contribute to the continued progress of PSB Holdings and its Subsidiaries and to provide a mechanism by which the interests of the Directors and the shareholders of PSB Holdings can be more closely aligned; and
(b)
to accept and hold all amounts deferred after December 31, 2004, under the Prior Plan.
3.
Definitions. As used in this Plan, the following terms shall have the meaning set forth in this paragraph 3:

(c)
Crediting Interest. As of each December 31 (each, a “Crediting Date”), up to and including the Basic Initial Payment Date (as defined in paragraph 6), interest shall be credited to each Participant’s Deferral Account based on the average balance in the Deferral Account as of the last day of each calendar quarter of the year ending on the Crediting Date at an annual interest rate equal to the following:

(y)
if the Participant has specified an Initial Payment Date other than the Participant’s Basic Initial Payment Date, then interest at the rate of 8% per annum shall be credited under this subparagraph 5(c) on the last day of each month following his Basic Initial Payment Date, through the last day of the month immediately following the Participant’s Initial Payment Date.

Distribution of Deferred Amounts.
(a)
Initial Payment Date. The “Initial Payment Date” of a Participant shall be the later of (i) the first day of the third month following the month in which occurs the Participant’s Termination of Service (the “Basic Initial Payment Date”) and (ii) the date specified by the Participant as the Initial Payment Date (but not later than the first day of the third month following the month in which occurs the date on which such Participant would have attained his mandatory retirement age) in a written election filed with PSB Holdings; provided, however, that if the Participant is a Specified Employee on the date of his Termination of Employment, the Initial Payment Date otherwise provided for in clause (i) and (ii) shall be adjusted to the first day of the first calendar month in which occurs the first date which is six months subsequent to the Participant’s Termination of Employment, and, provided further, that any such election shall also be subject to the provisions of paragraph 6(e).
(b)
Ending Balance. The “Ending Balance” of a Participant’s Deferral Account means the balance of the Deferral Account determined as of the Initial Payment Date.
(c)
Distribution. On the Initial Payment Date, distribution of the Ending Balance shall be made in cash in accordance with the following:
(i)
Automatic Form of Payment. In 60 monthly installments beginning on the Initial Payment Date in an amount equal to the amount necessary to amortize the repayment of a loan in an amount equal to the Ending Balance in 60 monthly payments at an interest rate of 8% per annum with payments being made on the first day of each monthly period.
(ii)
Death Benefit. In the event that the Participant dies before receiving payment of the entire amount to which he is entitled under this Agreement, the unpaid balance shall be paid in a lump sum or in installments, as specified in the Participant’s most recent election in accordance with the
-6-
provisions of subparagraph 6(c)(iv), to the Beneficiary of such Participant. If a Beneficiary dies after the Participant’s death, but before receiving the entire payment of the Beneficiary’s portion of the amount to which the Participant was entitled under this Agreement, the portion of the unpaid balance which such Beneficiary would have received if he had not died shall be paid in a lump sum to such Beneficiary’s estate unless the Participant designated otherwise.
(iii)
Change in Control. In the event a Participant incurs a Termination of Service in connection with a Change in Control, payment of the Ending Balance shall be made on the first July 1 following the Participant’s Termination of Service (or on the date of such termination if it occurs on July 1).
(iv)
Elective Forms of Distribution. The Participant may elect, subject to the provisions of subparagraph 6(d), that payment of the Participant’s Ending Balance shall be made in one of the following forms:
(A)
in 120 monthly installments beginning on the Initial Payment Date in an amount equal to the amount necessary to amortize the repayment of a loan in an amount equal to the Ending Balance in 120 monthly payments at an interest rate of 8% per annum with payments being made on the first day of each monthly period; or
(B)
in a lump sum, payable on the Initial Payment Date.
(d)
Each Participant may make an election pursuant to paragraphs 6(a) or (c) prior to December 31, 2007. Each person who becomes a Director subsequent to October 17, 2007, may file an election pursuant to paragraphs 6(a) or (c) at the same time he elects to participate in the Plan pursuant to paragraph 4(b). Any election by a Director pursuant to paragraphs 6(a) or (c) subsequent to the periods provided for in the two immediately preceding sentences shall be effective only if (i) such election, by its terms, will be effective not less than 12 months after the date on which it is received by PSB Holdings, (ii) such election is made not less than 12 months prior to the date on which distribution of his Deferral Account was otherwise scheduled to begin, (iii) such election defers the distribution of such Deferral Account to a date which is not less than five years subsequent to the date on which distributio n of his Deferral Account was otherwise scheduled to begin, and (iv) such election does not result in the acceleration of the distribution of the Director’s Deferral Account. All such elections shall be subject to the automatic distribution provisions of subparagraph 6(c)(iii), which shall govern the distribution of benefits in the event of Termination of Service which occurs because of death or in connection with a Change of Control.
(e)
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any election made or permitted to be made hereunder, no election as to the timing or form, or both, of the distribution of a Participant’s Deferral Account, and no other distribution otherwise
-7-
provided for by this Plan, shall be effective or made, as the case may be, if such timing or distribution would cause the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and cause the Participant to be subject to the interest and additional tax imposed pursuant to Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B), and any such election or such other provision shall be modified in the operation of the Plan so that the timing or form, or both, as the case may be, corresponds as closely as possible to such election or other provision, but will then comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A so as to preclude the application of Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B).
(f)
Modification of Payments. After a Participant’s Termination of Service occurs, neither such Participant nor his Beneficiary shall have any right to modify in any way the schedule for the distribution of amounts credited to such Participant under this Plan as specified in the last election filed by the Participant.
7.
Form for Elections. The Secretary of PSB Holdings shall provide election forms for use by Directors in making an initial election to become a Participant and for making all other elections or designations permitted or required by the Plan.
8.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
No Assignment. Amounts payable hereunder may not be voluntarily or involuntarily sold or assigned, and shall not be subject to any attachment, levy, or garnishment.
(b)
No Right of Election. Participation in this Plan by any person shall not confer upon such person any right to be nominated for re election or re-elected to the Board or the board of directors of a Subsidiary.
(c)
Unsecured Claims. Neither PSB Holdings nor any Subsidiary shall be obligated to reserve or otherwise set aside funds for the payment of its obligations hereunder, and the rights of any Participant under the Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of PSB Holdings or the Subsidiary which has established such Participant’s Deferral Account and in no event shall there be joint liability for the payment of a Deferral Account established by another participating entity. All amounts due Participants or Beneficiaries under this Plan shall be paid out of the general assets of PSB Holdings.
(d)
Plan Administration. The Board shall have all powers necessary to administer this Plan, including all powers of Plan interpretation, of determining eligibility and the effectiveness of elections, and of deciding all other matters relating to the Plan; provided, however, that no Participant shall take part in any discussion of, or vote with respect to, a matter of Plan administration which is personal to him and not of general applicability to all Participants. All decisions of the Board shall be final as to any Participant under this Plan.
-8-
(e)
Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend this Plan in any and all respects at any time (including, specifically, but not limited to, the rate at which interest will be credited to any Deferral Account from and after the date of such amendment), or from time to time, or may terminate this Plan at any time, but any such amendment or termination shall be without prejudice to any Participant’s right to receive amounts previously credited to such Participant under this Plan, and provided further any amendment or termination of the Plan shall not cause any amount otherwise payable hereunder to be accelerated in violation of the requirements of Code Section 409A.
