THIS SUPPLEMENTAL LIFE INSURANCE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is adopted this 25th day of January, 2007, by and between RIVER VALLEY FINANCIAL BANK, a savings association located in Madison, Indiana (the “Bank”), and MATTHEW FORRESTER (the “Executive”).

The purpose of this Agreement is to retain and reward the Executive by dividing the death proceeds of certain life insurance policies which are owned by the Bank on the life of the Executive with the designated beneficiary of the Executive.

Whenever used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings specified:

1.1	“Bank’s Interest” means the benefit set forth in Section 2.1.

1.2	“Beneficiary” means each designated person, or the estate of the deceased Executive, entitled to benefits, if any, upon the death of the Executive.

1.3	“Beneficiary Designation Form” means the form established from time to time by the Plan Administrator that the Executive completes, signs and returns to the Plan Administrator to designate one or more Beneficiaries.

1.4	“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Bank as from time to time constituted.

1.5	“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

1.6	“Effective Date” means January 1, 2007.

1.7

“Executive’s Interest” means the benefit set forth in Section 2.2.

1.8	“Insurer” means the insurance company issuing the Policy on the life of the Executive.

1.9	“Net Death Proceeds” means the total death proceeds of the Policy minus the greater of (i) the cash surrender value or (ii) the aggregate premiums paid by the Bank.

1.10	“Plan Administrator” means the plan administrator described in Article 10.

1.11	“Policy” or “Policies” means the individual insurance policy or policies adopted by the Bank for purposes of insuring the Executive’s life under this Agreement.

 

 

 

1.12

“Separation from Service” means the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Bank for reasons other than death. Whether a Separation from Service takes place is determined in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the termination of the Executive’s employment and whether the Bank and the Executive intended for the Executive to provide significant services for the Bank following such termination. A Separation from Service will not have occurred if:

(a)

the Executive continues to provide services as an employee of the Bank at an annual rate that is twenty percent (20%) or more of the services rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three (3) full calendar years of employment (or, if employed less than three (3) years, such lesser period) and the annual remuneration for such services is twenty percent (20%) or more of the average annual remuneration earned during the final three (3) full calendar years of employment (or, if less, such lesser period), or

(b)

the Executive continues to provide services to the Bank in a capacity other than as an employee of the Bank at an annual rate that is fifty percent (50%) or more of the services rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three (3) full calendar years of employment (or if employed less than three (3) years, such lesser period) and the annual remuneration for such services is fifty percent (50%) or more of the average annual remuneration earned during the final three (3) full calendar years of employment (or if less, such lesser period).

The Executive’s employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact while the Executive is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave of absence does not exceed six (6) months, or if longer, so long as the Executive’s right to reemployment with the Bank is provided either by statute or by contract. If the period of leave exceeds six (6) months and there is no right to reemployment, a Separation from Service will be deemed to have occurred as of the first date immediately following such six (6) month period.

2.1

Bank’s Interest. The Bank shall own the Policies and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership, and the Bank may terminate a Policy without the consent of the Executive. The Bank shall be the beneficiary of the remaining death proceeds of the Policies after the Executive’s Interest is determined according to Section 2.2.

2.2

Executive’s Interest. The Executive, or the Executive’s assignee, shall have the right to designate the Beneficiary of an amount of death proceeds as specified in Section 2.2.1. The Executive shall also have the right to elect and change settlement options with respect to the Executive’s Interest by providing written notice to the Bank and the Insurer.

2.2.1

Death Prior to Separation from Service. If the Executive dies while employed by the Bank, the Executive’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to a benefit equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Net Death Proceeds.

2.2.2

Death After Separation from Service. If the Executive dies after Separation from Service, the Beneficiary will not be entitled to a benefit under this Agreement

3.1	Premium Payment. The Bank shall pay all premiums due on all Policies.

3.2

Economic Benefit. The Bank shall determine the economic benefit attributable to the Executive based on the life insurance premium factor for the Executive’s age multiplied by the aggregate death benefit payable to the Beneficiary. The “life insurance premium factor’ is the minimum factor applicable under guidance published pursuant to Treasury Reg. § 1.61-22(d)(3)(ii) or any subsequent authority.

3.3	Imputed Income. The Bank shall impute the economic benefit to the Executive on an annual basis, by adding the economic benefit to the Executive’s W-2, or if applicable, Form 1099.

3.4	Reimbursement. The Bank shall pay to the Executive on an annual basis an amount equal to the federal and state income taxes paid by the Executive on the economic benefit reported pursuant to Section 3.3.

4.1

Removal. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive’s rights in the Agreement shall terminate if the Executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”).

5.1

Beneficiary. The Executive shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary(ies) to receive any benefits payable under the Agreement upon the death of the Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different from the beneficiary designation under any other Agreement of the Bank in which the Executive participates.

5.2	Beneficiary Designation; Change. The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and delivering it to the Bank

or its designated agent. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing, and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Bank’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Bank of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Bank shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and accepted by the Bank prior to the Executive’s death.

5.3	Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Bank or its designated agent.

5.4

No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid designation of beneficiary, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive’s surviving spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be made payable to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate.

5.5

Facility of Payment. If the Bank determines in its discretion that a benefit is to be paid to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Bank may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Bank may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment for the account of the Executive and the Executive’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such payment amount.

The Executive may irrevocably assign without consideration all of the Executive’s Interest in this Agreement to any person, entity or trust. In the event the Executive shall transfer all of the Executive’s Interest, then all of the Executive’s Interest in this Agreement shall be vested in the Executive’s transferee, who shall be substituted as a party hereunder, and the Executive shall have no further interest in this Agreement.

 

The Insurer shall be bound only by the terms of its given Policy. The Insurer shall not be bound by or deemed to have notice of the provisions of this Agreement. The Insurer shall have the right to rely on the Bank’s representations with regard to any definitions, interpretations or Policy interests as specified under this Agreement.
