Exhibit 10.11

 

WILLOW FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

2007 SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

 

ARTICLE 1 — PURPOSE

 

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (this “Plan”) is hereby adopted by Willow Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) as of October 23, 2007.

 

The purpose of the Plan is to aid in retaining the services of a select group of officers and highly compensated employees of the Corporation, its subsidiaries and any successors thereto, and to motivate them to contribute to the growth and profits of the Corporation. This Plan as amended and restated shall be effective as of July 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”).

 

The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan qualifying as a “top hat” plan for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Plan as originally adopted was effective as of April 1, 2006 (the “Prior Plan”). However, the Corporation suspended the Prior Plan in 2006, and no benefits were accrued under the Prior Plan for any periods prior to July 1, 2007. The Plan is being amended and restated in order to make certain changes to the participants in the Plan, to reduce the amount of benefits previously contemplated and to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the final regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”).

 

ARTICLE 2 — DEFINITIONS

 

For purposes hereof, unless otherwise clearly apparent from the context, the following terms shall have the indicated meanings:

 

2.1.                              Additions: Interest on Annual Credits, compounded monthly at an annualized rate of 5.5%. Additions shall be attributed to each Participant’s Employer Credit Account from the date upon which the Employer Credit Account first has a positive balance until the date upon which the Corporation determines the final payment of benefits to a Participant or his Beneficiary pursuant to Article 4. The Committee may elect to utilize a different interest rate in future years in its discretion.

 

2.2.                              Annual Credit: The amount the Corporation will credit on behalf of a Participant in relation to his Base Credit and Performance-Based Credit, as appropriate, for each year of his participation in the Plan.

 

2.3.                              Base Credit: The portion of the Annual Credit based upon a Participant’s salary and years to Retirement from the Corporation. The amount of the Base Credit and the date upon which it will be attributed to the Employer Credit Account are specified in Schedule A. This amount may vary from Participant to Participant and from year to year as determined by the Committee. Furthermore, since the value of the Base Credit is predicated upon the value of the Participant’s annual salary when he joined the Plan and

 



 

adjusted by an assumed rate of inflation of 3.5 percent per year, the Committee may deem it appropriate to re-calculate the benefit for one or more Participants if it deems, in its discretion, that the Participant’s salary has been substantially modified.

 

2.4.                              Beneficiary: Any person or persons (including, without limitation, the trustees of any testamentary or inter vivos trust), as designated from time to time in writing pursuant to Article 5, to whom any benefits may be payable upon the death of a Participant.

 

2.5.                              Cause: Behavior of a Participant which constitutes any of the following:

 

a.               Willfully engaging in gross misconduct with regard to the Corporation which is materially injurious to the Corporation,

 

b.              Gross negligence in the performance of the Participant’s duties and responsibilities which is materially injurious to the Corporation,

 

c.               Refusal to follow proper and achievable written direction of the Board of Directors, provided that this shall not be Cause if the Participant in good faith believed the direction to be illegal, unethical or immoral and so notifies the Board of Directors,

 

d.              Being convicted of (or pleading nolo contendere to) a felony involving financial impropriety (or any other crime which would materially interfere with his service),

 

e.               Willfully breaching any material obligations under any agreement with the Corporation without proper justification,

 

f.                 Material fraud or dishonesty with regard to the Corporation (other than good faith expense account disputes),

 

g.              Continuous and material refusal to attempt to perform the Participant’s responsibilities and duties after written notice, and

 

h.              Entering into competition with the Corporation in any line of business in which the Corporation was involved during the Participant’s employment.

 

2.6.                              Change in Control:  Change in Control shall mean a change in the ownership of the Corporation, a change in the effective control of the Corporation or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation, in each case as provided under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

 

2.7.                              Committee: The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or such other persons as may be selected by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors to administer the Plan.

2.10.                        Employer Credit Account: The sum of Annual Credits which are described in Schedule A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and attributable to a Participant plus Additions and less withdrawals and distributions on such amounts. The Corporation shall maintain a bookkeeping account to reflect and track each Participant’s Employer Credit Account, as adjusted from time to time.

 

2.11.                        Participant: Any officer or highly compensated employee of the Corporation designated by the Committee to be eligible for participation in the Plan, who has executed an application for participation pursuant to Section 3.1, and who is participating in this Plan from time to time.

 

2.12.                        Performance-Based Credit: The portion of the Annual Credit based upon the Corporation’s performance each year. The Committee will establish two levels of performance objectives each year. If the performance objectives are achieved, then the Participant will earn a Performance-Based Credit equal to (a) 15% of the Participant’s base salary for the applicable year if the first level of performance objectives is achieved, or (b) 30% of the Participant’s base salary for the applicable year if the second level of performance objectives is achieved. The performance objectives may vary from Participant to Participant and from year to year as determined by the Committee.

Whether a Separation from Service has occurred shall be determined in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code based on whether the facts and circumstances indicate that the

 

3



 

Corporation and the Participant reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services the Participant would perform after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period.

ARTICLE 4 — BENEFITS

 

4.1.                                   Benefit: Should a Participant have a Termination Event, other than a Separation from Service for Cause, he shall be entitled to receive a termination benefit which shall be the vested portion of his or her Employer Credit Account (the “Termination Benefit”).

 

4.2.                                   Cause: Should a Participant have a Separation from Service for Cause, he shall forfeit any Termination Benefit.

 

4.3.                                   Distribution Options:

 

(a) General:  Pursuant to a Participant’s Termination Benefit Election (as defined herein), the Termination Benefit attributable to such Participant shall be paid either (i) in a lump sum, (ii) in five equal annual installments, or (iii) in ten equal annual installments (each, a “Termination Benefit Election”). If a Participant fails to make a Termination Benefit Election, he shall receive his benefit in a lump sum.

 

(i)  Annual Installments:  Should annual installments be selected, the first such payment shall be made on the sixtieth day following the Termination Event; provided, however, that if the installments are to be paid to a Specified Employee due to a Separation from Service, the first installment shall be delayed until the first day of the month immediately following the lapse of six months after the date of Separation from Service. Each payment thereafter shall be made on the annual anniversary of the original payment date.

 

(ii)  Lump Sum Distribution: Should a lump sum distribution be selected, the Termination Benefit shall be made on the sixtieth day following the Termination Event; provided, however, that if the lump sum is to be paid to a Specified Employee due to a Separation from Service, the lump sum shall be delayed until the first day of the month immediately following the lapse of six months after the date of Separation from Service.

 

(b)           Prior Elections. Any payment elections made by the Participant before the Effective Date shall continue in effect until such time as the Participant makes a subsequent payment election and such election becomes effective as set forth below. If no prior payment election was made, then the current payment election shall be deemed to be a lump sum payment.

 

(c)           Initial Elections for New Participants. Any new Participant in the Plan may make a Termination Benefit Election within thirty (30) days of first becoming eligible to participate in the Plan. If no payment election is made within such time period, then the payment election shall be deemed to be a lump sum payment.

 

(d)           Transitional Elections Prior to 2009. On or before December 31, 2008, if the Participant wishes to change his Termination Benefit Election, the Participant may do so by completing a payment election form approved by the Corporation, provided that any such election (i) must be made at least 12 months prior to the occurrence of a Separation from Service or the Participant’s death or Disability, (ii) must be made at least 12 months

 

5



 

before the date on which benefit payments are scheduled to commence, (iii) does not cause a payment that would otherwise be made in the year of the election to be delayed to a later year, and (iv) does not accelerate into the year in which the election is made a payment that is otherwise scheduled to be made in a later year.

 

(e)           Changes in Payment Elections After 2008. On or after January 1, 2009, if a Participant wishes to change his Termination Benefit Election, the Participant may do so by completing a payment election form approved by the Corporation, provided that any such election (i) must be made prior to the occurrence of a Separation from Service or the Participant’s death or Disability, (ii) must be made at least 12 months before the date on which any benefit payments as of a fixed date or pursuant to a fixed schedule are scheduled to commence, (iii) shall not take effect until at least 12 months after the date the election is made and accepted by the Corporation, and (iv) for payments to be made other than upon death, must provide an additional deferral period of at least five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made (or in the case of any installment payments treated as a single payment, five years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid). For purposes of this Agreement and clause (iv) above, all installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated as a single payment.

 

4.4.                                   Limited Cashouts: Notwithstanding any Termination Benefit Election, if the Termination Benefit is not greater than the applicable dollar amount under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code ($15,500 for 2007), then the Termination Benefit shall be paid in a lump sum, provided that the lump sum payment results in the termination and liquidation of the Participant’s entire interest under the Plan, including all agreements, methods, programs or other arrangements with respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been deferred under a single plan as provided under Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) of the regulations issued by the IRS.

 

4.5.                                   Vesting: Each Year’s Annual Credit and Additions will be subject to its own vesting schedule and shall vest at a rate of 25% for each calendar year, commencing as of the December 31st next following the date of the Annual Credit or Addition. For example, Annual Credits attributed to a Participant’s Employer Credit Account as of July 1, 2007 will be 25% vested on December 31, 2007, 50% vested on December 31, 2008, 75% percent vested on December 31, 2009 and 100% vested on December 31, 2010. If a Termination Event occurs, Participants will forfeit any unvested benefits accrued as of the date of the applicable Termination Event, except that all unvested benefits shall become fully vested if the Termination Event is due to (i) a Change in Control, (ii) a Separation from Service due to Retirement, (iii) death, or (iv) Disability. In the event the Plan is terminated due to Section 6.1 hereof, no further vesting shall occur after the date of termination of the Plan.

 

ARTICLE 5 — BENEFICIARY

 

5.1                                 Designation: At the time participation in the Plan commences, or at any later date, each Participant shall designate on a form satisfactory to the Corporation one or more Beneficiaries to receive any benefits which may become payable hereunder in the event

 

6



 

of his death (Beneficiary Designation). A Participant can change any such Beneficiary Designation at any time prior to his death upon written notice to the Corporation.

 

5.2                                 Subsequent Beneficiary Designations: If a Participant shall have made more than one Beneficiary Designation, the Beneficiary Designation most recently filed with the Corporation prior to the time of the Participant’s death shall govern.

 

5.3                                 No Beneficiary Designation: If any amounts under the Plan become payable following a Participant’s death at a time when no Beneficiary Designation is applicable or when no Beneficiary is in existence, such payments shall be made in a lump sum to such Participant’s surviving spouse, or if none, such amounts shall be paid to such Participant’s estate.

 

ARTICLE 6 — MISCELLANEOUS

 

6.1           Amendment and Termination:

 

(a)  General.           The Corporation, acting through the Committee, reserves the right to amend, in whole or in part, in writing, or to terminate this Plan (including Schedule A hereto) at any time and in its sole discretion, with or without notice; provided, however, that no such action shall reduce the amount of a Participant’s vested Termination Benefit prior to the date of any such amendment or termination. Upon termination of this Plan, those Participants that are receiving Termination Benefits pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 and those Beneficiaries receiving benefits pursuant to the provisions of Article 5 shall continue to receive such benefits in accordance with this Plan. The Participants who are not receiving Termination Benefits will be entitled to receive only the vested portion of their Employer Credit Account as calculated on the effective date of the Plan termination, with such amount to be paid in accordance with this Plan. A termination of the Plan will not be a distributable event, except in the three circumstances set forth in Section 6.1(b) below.

 

(b)           Termination.          Under no circumstances may the Plan permit the acceleration of the time or form of any payment under the Plan prior to the payment events specified herein, except as provided in this Section 6.1(b). The Corporation may, in its discretion, elect to terminate the Plan in any of the following three circumstances and accelerate the payment of the entire unpaid balance of each Participant’s vested benefits as of the date of such payment in accordance with Section 409A of the Code:

 

(i)                                     the Plan is irrevocably terminated within 30 days preceding a Change in Control and (1) all arrangements sponsored by Willow Financial Bank (the “Bank”) and/or the Corporation that would be aggregated with the Plan under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(c)(2) are terminated, and (2) each Participant and all participants under the other aggregated arrangements receive all of their benefits under the terminated arrangements within 12 months of the date the Corporation irrevocably takes all necessary action to terminate the Plan and the other aggregated arrangements,

 

7



 

(ii)                                  the Plan is irrevocably terminated at a time that is not proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Bank and/or the Corporation and (1) all arrangements sponsored by the Bank and/or the Corporation that would be aggregated with the Plan under Treasury Regulation ‘1.409A-1(c) if a Participant had deferrals of compensation under such arrangements are terminated, (2) no payments are made within 12 months of the date the Corporation takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate the arrangements, other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the arrangements if the termination had not occurred; (3) all payments are made within 24 months of the date the Bank and/or the Corporation take all necessary action to irrevocably terminate the arrangements; and (4) neither the Bank nor the Corporation adopts a new arrangement that would be aggregated with the Plan or any terminated arrangement under Treasury Regulation ‘1.409A-1(c) if a Participant participated in both arrangements, at any time within three years following the date the Bank and/or the Corporation take all necessary action to irrevocably terminate the Plan or aggregated arrangement, or

 

(iii)                               the Plan is terminated within 12 months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Section 331 of the Code, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts deferred by each Participant under the Plan are included in the Participant’s gross income in the later of (1) the calendar year in which the termination of the Plan occurs, (2) the first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (3) the first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable.

 

6.2                                 Insurance: The Corporation may purchase one or more insurance policies on the life of a Participant, as a means of providing, in whole or in part, for the payment of benefits hereunder. However, in such event neither such Participant, his designated Beneficiary, nor any other beneficiary shall have any rights whatsoever therein or in the proceeds therefrom. The Corporation (or any “rabbi trust” (as described in Section 6.6) formed in connection with the Plan) shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such insurance policy and shall possess and may exercise all incidents of ownership therein. No such policy, policies or other property shall be held in any trust for a Participant or any other person or as collateral security for any obligation of the Corporation hereunder. This Plan shall under no circumstances be deemed to constitute a contract of insurance.

 

6.3                                 No Contract of Employment: The Plan shall under no circumstance be deemed to have any effect upon the terms or conditions of employment of any employee of the Corporation whether or not he is a Participant hereunder. Neither the offering of the Plan, the payment of any expenses, costs or benefit amounts associated with the Plan, nor any documents published in connection with the Plan shall be construed as having created a contract of employment between a Participant and the Corporation, nor shall

 

8



 

any of such actions or documents affect any right that the Corporation may have to terminate the service of such person at will.

 

6.4                                 Benefits not Transferable: Benefits under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance by any Participant or Beneficiary, and any attempt to do so shall be null and void. Benefits under this Plan shall not be subject to or liable for the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any Participant or any Beneficiary, nor may the same be subject to attachment or seizure by any creditor of any Participant or any Beneficiary under any circumstances.

 

6.5           Determination of Benefits:

 

(a)                                  General. The Committee may require any person claiming benefits under the Plan (“Claimant”) to submit an application therefor in writing to the Claims Administrator or to any officer of the Corporation, together with such other documents and information as the Committee may require.

 

(b)                                 Claims. Claims for benefits, benefit determinations, appeals and reviews of any adverse benefit determination and all associated notifications shall, at a minimum, comply with Section 503 of ERISA and the applicable provisions of 29 C.F.R. § 2560.503-1 (“ERISA Regulations”).

 

(c)                                  Claims Administrator. The Claims Administrator shall be designated by the Committee. The Committee reserves the right to change the Claims Administrator from time to time and to designate a special Claims Administrator when deemed necessary to avoid a conflict of interest.

 

(d)                                 Notification of Benefit Determination. The Claims Administrator will notify the Claimant of a benefit determination in writing within a reasonable time. Notification that a claim is wholly or partially denied will normally be given no later than 90 days after receipt of the claim. The notice shall (1) specify the reasons for the adverse decision, (2) refer to the specific provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based, (3) describe any additional material necessary to complete the claim and the reasons that such material is necessary, (4) describe the appeal and review procedures and the applicable time limits, and (5) inform the claimant of the right to bring a civil action following review. Should special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the expiration of the initial ninety-day period. The notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which a final decision is expected to be rendered. In no event shall the period of the extension exceed ninety days from the end of the initial ninety-day period. Claims not acted upon within the time prescribed herein shall be deemed denied for purposes of proceeding to the review stage.

 

9



 

(e)                                  Review. A Claimant is entitled to have an adverse benefit determination reviewed by the Committee (the “Named Fiduciary”). The request for review must be in writing and filed with the Claims Administrator no later than 60 days following the Claimant’s receipt of the adverse determination. The Claimant may submit written comments and other information and documents relating to the claim, and have reasonable access to and receive copies of all documents and information relevant to the claim. The Claimant may request a hearing. The Claims Administrator will promptly forward the request for review and the claim file to the Named Fiduciary. The decision of the Named Fiduciary shall be made promptly, and not later than sixty days after the Named Fiduciary’s receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing. In such a case, a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than one hundred twenty days after receipt of the request for review.

 

(f)                                    Named Fiduciary. The Named Fiduciary shall not be the Claims Administrator nor subordinate to the Claims Administrator. The Board of Directors reserves the right to change the Named Fiduciary from time to time, and to designate a special Named Fiduciary for appeals when deemed necessary.

 

(g)                                 Review Procedure. The Named Fiduciary has the discretion to decide all questions regarding relevance and reasonable access. In addition, the Named Fiduciary has the discretion as to whether a hearing shall be held. The Named Fiduciary will afford no deference to the Claims Administrator’s decision, and will ensure a full and fair review de novo.

 

(h)                                 Notification of Benefit Determination on Review. The Named Fiduciary’s decision will be in writing and sent to the Claims Administrator. The Claims Administrator will then notify the Claimant either by hand delivery or by first class mail within a reasonable time, and normally not later than 60 days after receipt of the claim for review. If the Named Fiduciary issues an adverse benefit decision to the Participant or his Beneficiary, the decision shall (1) specify the reasons for the decision, (2) refer to specific Plan provisions on which the decision was based, (3) inform the Claimant of the right to review all information reviewed by the Named Fiduciary, even information not relied on in making the decision, and (4) inform the Claimant of the right to bring a civil action.

 

(i)                                     Exhaustion of Remedies. No legal action for benefits under the Plan may be brought unless and until the Claimant has exhausted his remedies under this Section 6.5.

 

6.6                                 No Trust:  No action by the Corporation or its Board of Directors under this Plan shall be construed as creating a trust, escrow or other secured or segregated fund or other fiduciary relationship of any kind in favor of any Participant or Beneficiary or any other persons otherwise entitled to benefits under the Plan. The status of each Participant and any Beneficiary with respect to any liabilities assumed by the Corporation hereunder shall be solely that of unsecured creditors of the Corporation. The Plan constitutes a

 

10



 

mere promise by the Corporation to make benefit payments in the future. Any insurance policy or any other asset acquired or held by the Corporation in connection with liabilities assumed by it hereunder shall not be deemed to be held under any trust, escrow or other secured or segregated fund or other fiduciary relationship of any kind for the benefit of a Participant or Beneficiary or to be security for the performance of the obligations of the Corporation, but shall be and remain a general, unpledged, unrestricted asset of the Corporation at all times subject to the claims of general creditors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may transfer assets, including any insurance policies, to a grantor trust of the type known as a “rabbi trust” with the Corporation as grantor and owner of such trust, provided that the terms of such trust comply with Section 409A of the Code.

 

6.7                                 Plan Administration: The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the exclusive authority, sole discretion and responsibility for all matters in connection with the operation and administration of the Plan. The Committee’s powers and duties shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (a) responsibility for the compilation and maintenance of all records necessary in connection with the Plan; (b) authorizing the payment of all benefits under and expenses of the Plan; (c) authority to engage such legal, accounting and other professional services as it may deem proper; (d) discretionary authority to interpret the Plan; and (e) discretionary authority to determine eligibility for benefits under the Plan and to resolve all issues of fact and law in connection with such determination. Decisions by the Committee shall be final and binding upon all parties.

 

The Committee, from time to time, may allocate to other persons or organizations any of its rights, powers, and duties with respect to the operation and administration of the Plan. Any such allocation shall be reviewed from time to time by the Committee; shall, unless the Committee specifies otherwise, carry such discretionary authority as the Committee possesses regarding the matter; and shall be terminable upon such notice as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems reasonable and prudent under the circumstances.

 

6.8                                 Satisfaction of Claims: Any payment to a Participant or Beneficiary or the legal representative of either, in accordance with the terms of this Plan shall to the extent thereof be in full satisfaction of all claims such person may have against the Corporation. The Corporation may require such payee, as a condition to such payment, to execute a receipt and release therefore in such form as shall be determined by the Corporation.

 

6.9                                 Governing Law: The Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects in accordance with ERISA and, to the extent not preempted by ERISA, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to applicable conflicts of law or choice of law principles. By electing to participate in the Plan, each Participant on behalf of himself and his beneficiaries irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the United States federal courts and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania state courts located in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (“Pennsylvania Courts”) with respect to any lawsuit, claim or cause of action arising under or with respect to this Plan; (b) agrees that the Pennsylvania Courts shall have exclusive subject

 

11



 

matter jurisdiction over any such lawsuit, claim or cause of action; (c) agrees that venue with respect to any such lawsuit, claim or cause of action is proper and most convenient in such Pennsylvania Courts; and (d) agrees not to assert or raise any objection to jurisdiction or venue in the Pennsylvania Courts. BY ELECTING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN, EACH PARTICIPANT, ON BEHALF OF HIMSELF AND HIS BENEFICIARIES, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROVISION OF THIS PLAN AND/OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATED TO, THIS PLAN, to the extent not preempted by ERISA.

 

6.10                           Gender and Number: Words used herein in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall be construed as though they were also used in another gender in all cases where they would so apply. Words used herein in the singular or plural form shall be construed as though they were also used in the other form in all cases where they would so apply.

 

6.11                           Severability: In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of the Plan is in violation of any statute or public policy, only those provisions of the Plan that violate such statute or public policy shall be stricken.
