Exhibit 10.9
SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE
WILSON BANK AND TRUST AMENDED AND RESTATED LIFE INSURANCE
ENDORSEMENT METHOD SPLIT DOLLAR PLAN AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, Wilson Bank and Trust (the Bank) and Gary D. Whitaker, (the Executive) established the Wilson Bank and Trust Amended and Restated Life Insurance Endorsement Method Split Dollar Plan Agreement (the Agreement), originally effective as of March 30, 1995; and
WHEREAS, the Bank and the Executive most recently amended the Agreement on October 7, 2002, to make changes regarding the division of the death proceeds thereunder; and
WHEREAS, the Bank and the Executive desire to amend the Agreement to clarify that the Executive shall not be entitled to any death proceeds under the Agreement or the underlying insurance policy following the Executives termination of employment.
NOW, THEREFORE, effective November 23, 2012, the Bank and the Executive hereby amend the Agreement as follows.
1. Section VI.A. of the Agreement is amended to provide as follows:
A. | Upon the death of the Insured while employed by the Bank, the Insureds beneficiary(ies), designated in accordance with Paragraph III, shall be entitled to an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the net-at-risk insurance portion of the proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this Agreement, upon the death of the Insured subsequent to a termination of service (except in the case of the Insureds assumption of the Agreement pursuant to Section IX herein), all proceeds (including any death benefit) payable hereunder shall be retained by the Bank and neither the Insured nor their beneficiary(ies) shall have any rights regarding the proceeds under this Agreement. The net-at-risk insurance portion is the total proceeds less the cash value of the policy. |
2. Section IX. is amended to provide as follows:
IX. | TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT |
This Agreement shall terminate upon the occurrence of any one of the following:
A. | The Insured shall terminate employment with the Bank for any reason; or |
B. | Surrender, lapse, or other termination of the policy by the Bank. |
Upon such termination, the Insured (or assignee) shall have a fifteen (15) day option to receive from the Bank an absolute assignment of the policy in consideration of a cash payment to the Bank, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate. Such cash payment referred to hereinabove shall be the greater of:
A. | The Banks share of the cash value of the policy on the date of such assignment, as defined in this Agreement; or |
B. | The amount of the premiums that have been paid by the Bank prior to the date of such assignment. |
If, within said fifteen (15) day period, the Insured fails to exercise said option, fails to procure the entire aforestated cash payment, or dies, then the option shall terminate and the Insured (or assignee) agrees that all of the Insureds rights, interest and claims in the policy shall terminate as of the date of the termination of this Agreement.
The Insured expressly agrees that this Agreement shall constitute sufficient written notice to the Insured of the Insureds option to receive an absolute assignment of the policy as set forth herein.
Except as provided above, this Agreement shall terminate upon distribution of the death benefit proceeds in accordance with Paragraph VI above.
3. Section XV is amended to provide as follows:
XV. | Change of Control |
Change of Control shall be deemed to be the cumulative transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Bank from the date of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, transfers on account of death or gifts, transfers between family members, or transfers to a qualified retirement plan maintained by the Bank shall not be considered in determining whether there has been a Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, the Insured shall become one hundred percent (100%) vested in the benefits the Insured is entitled to hereunder, subject to the termination of the Insureds rights upon his or her termination of employment as provided in Section VI.A.

4. To the extent that any paragraph, term or provision of said Agreement is not specifically amended herein, or in any other amendment thereto, said paragraph, term or provision shall remain in full force and effect as set forth in said Agreement

Both parties have caused this Second Amendment to the Wilson Bank and Trust Amended and Restated Life Insurance Endorsement Method Split Dollar Plan Agreement to be executed this 23rd day of November, 2012, effective November 23, 2012.
