Participation Agreement

(Please Print or Type Information)

I, ________________________________________, hereby elect to participate in the Van Wert Federal Savings Bank Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Plan (the “Plan”) as of January 1, 2014.

By electing to participate, I acknowledge that:

If I am employed by Van Wert Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”) upon my death, my Beneficiary will be entitled to receive 50% of the net at risk amount, capped at $500,000, or (ii) the net at risk amount from the proceeds of the following life insurance policies (“Policy”) provided such Policy and the Plan are effective and in force on the date of my death:

Insurer ___________________________________________________ Contract No. ____________________________________________

The balance of the insurance proceeds will be paid to the Bank.

The net at risk amount is the total death benefit payable less the cash surrender value of the Policy as of the date of death.

The annual cost of the term insurance protection will be included as taxable income each year on my W-2, in accordance with applicable tax law requirements.

This Participation Agreement will not become effective unless and until a life insurance policy on my life is issued to the Bank.

The Bank has the right, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Policy), to surrender the Policy for its cash value, and I have no interest whatsoever in the cash value. If the Policy is surrendered, my participation in the Plan will terminate and no benefit will be payable to my Beneficiary.

The Bank is the sole and absolute owner of the Policy and may exercise all ownership rights under the terms of the Policy, except as may be limited by the Plan.

I may change my designated Beneficiary at any time and it will become effective when the change is filed with the Bank.

Claim Procedure: If you or your beneficiary does not receive your benefits when due, you may file a claim in writing to________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
