Exhibit 10.13(b)
September 19, 1996
Made this 19th day of September, 1996,
| Between | Orrstown Financial Services, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Orrstown Bank, a Pennsylvania banking corporation, with principal offices at 00 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, hereinafter referred to as “Bank,” | |
| And | Orrstown Bank, a Pennsylvania banking corporation with principal offices at 00 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, hereinafter referred to as “Trustee,” | |
Whereas, the Bank heretofore established the Orrstown Financial Services, Inc., Director/Officer Deferred Compensation Plan, hereinafter called “the Plan,” for the purpose of providing a retirement benefit to certain eligible directors of the board of directors, hereinafter called “the Board,” of the Bank, and
Whereas, the Bank wishes to establish a trust fund to aid it in accumulating the amounts necessary to satisfy its contractual liability to pay such benefits; and
Whereas, the Bank may make contributions to this trust from time to time which contributions, if made, will be applied in payment of the Bank’s obligations to pay such benefits; and
Whereas, the Plan provides for the Bank to pay all benefits thereunder from its general assets, and the establishment of this trust shall not reduce or otherwise affect the Bank’s continuing liability to pay benefits from such assets except that the Bank’s liability shall be offset by actual benefit payments made by this trust;
Whereas, the trust established by this trust agreement is intended to be classified for income tax purposes as a “grantor trust” with the result that the income of the trust will be treated as income of the Bank pursuant to subpart E of the subchapter J of Chapter 1, of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, hereinafter called “the Code,”

All such money and other property, all investments and reinvestments made therewith or proceeds thereof and all earnings and profits thereon that are not paid to the Bank as provided in Paragraph 7 of this trust agreement, less all payments and charges as authorized herein, are hereinafter referred to as the “Trust Fund.” The Trust Fund shall be held by TRUSTEE IN TRUST and shall be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of this trust agreement. The Trust Fund shall be held for the exclusive purpose of providing payments to the participants of the Plan and their beneficiaries and defraying reasonable expenses of administration in accordance with the provisions of this trust agreement until all such payments have been made, provided, however, that the Trust Fund shall at all times be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Bank as set forth in Paragraph 8 of this trust agreement.

6.
Payments by the Trustee
| A. | The establishment of the Trust and the payment or delivery to the Trustee of money or other property acceptable to the Trustee shall not vest in Plan participants or their beneficiary any right, title or interest in and to any assets of the Trust, except as otherwise set forth in this Paragraph. |
| B. | Trustee shall make payment of Plan benefits to participants and beneficiaries of the Plan from the assets held in their respective accounts, as defined in Paragraph 7 herein, if and to the extent such assets are available for distribution, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and subject to the election, if any, of the participant or his beneficiary thereunder. In no event shall the account of any participant or beneficiary be used for the purpose of providing benefits to any other participant or beneficiary of the Plan. |
| C. | If the participant’s account is not sufficient to make one of more payments of benefits due under the Plan to such participant or his beneficiary in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Bank shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due. |
| D. | Notwithstanding anything contained in this trust agreement to the contrary, if at any time the Trust finally is determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a “grantor trust” with the result that the income of the Trust Fund is not treated as income of the Bank pursuant to subpart E of subchapter J of the Code, or if a tax is finally determined by the Internal Revenue Services or is determined by counsel to the Trustee to be payable by any Plan participant or beneficiary in respect of any vested interest in the Trust Fund prior to payment of such interest to such participant or beneficiary, then the Trust shall immediately terminate and the full market value of the assets in the Trust Fund shall be returned to the Bank. The Bank shall fully reimburse each participant and their beneficiary for any tax liability they may incur pursuant to the operation of this paragraph. For purposes of this paragraph, a final determination of the Internal Revenue Service shall be a decision rendered by the Internal Revenue Service which is no longer subject to administrative appeal within the Internal Revenue Service. |
| E. | Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, with respect to each participant of the Plan, in the event of a change in control of the Bank which change has not been approved in advance by a two-thirds vote of the full Board, or in the event of involuntary termination of such participant’s service as a director of the Board in connection with, or within twelve months after, any change in control of the Bank which change has been approved in advance by a two-thirds vote of the full Board, unless, within seven days following written |
| notification by the participant to the Trustee that payment shall be made pursuant to this paragraph 6E, the Trustee is advised in writing by the general counsel or chief financial officer of the Bank either that (1) a change in control of the bank has not occurred, (2) a chance in control of the Bank which has been approved in advance by a two-thirds vote of the full Board has occurred but the participant’s service on the Board has not been involuntarily terminated in connection with, or within twelve months after, such change in control, or (3) the Bank is bankrupt or insolvent within the meaning of paragraph 8.B hereof, the Trustee shall immediately distribute in one lump sum to each participant (or his beneficiary in the event of the participant’s death) the entire value of such participant’s account. The Trustee shall concurrently with the distribution of the participant’s account, advise the general counsel and chief financial officer of the Bank of the amount paid to the participant (or his beneficiary) hereunder. Within thirty days following payment of the value of the participant’s account pursuant to his paragraph 6.E, the Bank shall determine the excess, if any, of the participant’s lump sum benefit payable in accordance with Paragraph 3.1 (c) of the Plan determined as of the date of the change in control of the Bank in the event such change has not been approved by the Bank’s then board or the date of the participant’s involuntary termination in the event such change in control has been approved in advance by the Bank’s then Board, over the amount of such participants account distributed hereunder, and the Bank shall immediately thereafter pay such excess to the participant (or his beneficiary in the event of his death) in one lump sum cash payment. In the event the amount of the participant’s account paid to him or his beneficiary exceeds the participant’s lump sum benefit payable in accordance with Paragraph 3.1 (c) of the Plan, determined as of the date of the change in control of the Bank in the event such change has not been approved by the Bank’s then board of the date of the participant’s involuntary termination in the event such change in control has been approved in advance by the Bank’s then board, the participant or his beneficiary shall return such excess to the Bank. The Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Bank in making a payment pursuant to such notification. The Trustee shall not be required to make an independent inquiry or decision with respect to the amount of any payment which may be pursuant to this paragraph 6.E or the validity of any notice hereunder. |
For purposes of this paragraph 6E the term control shall refer to the ownership, holding or power to vote more than 25% of the Bank’s voting stock, the control of the election of a majority of the Bank’s board, or the exercise of a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Bank by an person or by persons acting as a group within the meaning of Section 13 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The term “person” means an individual or a corporation, partnership, trust, association, joint venture, pool, syndicate, sole proprietorship, unincorporated organization or any other form of entity not specifically listed herein.
| F. | Notwithstanding anything in this trust agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall remain primarily liable under the Plan to pay benefits. However the Bank’s liability under the Plan shall be reduced or offset to the extent and by the value of any benefit payments under the Plan made from the Trust. |
| G. | Trustee shall deduct from each payment under this trust agreement any Federal, state or local withholding or other taxes or changes which the Trustee may be required to deduct under applicable laws. |
7.
Funding of the Trust
Amounts held for the benefit of each participant and beneficiary in the trust shall be maintained in a separate account, hereinafter called “the Account”, which shall be held, administered, and accounted for separately for each participant or beneficiary. Separate account records shall be maintained so that the amount held in each participant’s and beneficiary’s Account shall be identifiable at all times. Each Account shall consist of and be increased by contributions made by the Bank which are designated by the Bank as the property of such account and shall be decreased by distributions made therefrom. The bank shall make contributions to such accounts from time to time in accordance with such funding method and policy as will permit the trust to make payment of benefits provided by the Plan. In addition the Trustee shall allocate and credit the net income of the Trust to the Accounts of participants and beneficiaries on the last day of each calendar year, (the “Allocation Date”), pro rata based on the respective Account balance as of each participant and beneficiary on such date; provided however that in no event shall the Account of any participant or beneficiary at any time exceed the maximum lump sum benefit payable under the plan to such participant or beneficiary. If as a result of the foregoing, all or a portion of any net income otherwise
allocable to the Account of any participant or beneficiary on the Allocation Date cannot be so allocated, such net income shall be allocated and credited to the Accounts for all other participants and beneficiaries whose Accounts do not exceed the maximum lump sum benefit payable to them under the Plan pro rata based on the respective Account balances of each such participant and beneficiary on such Allocation date (determined without regard to the allocation of any net income to such Accounts on such date). To the extent that any net income cannot be allocated to the Accounts of participants and beneficiaries pursuant hereto, such net income shall be paid to the Bank. For purposes of the foregoing, net income shall mean the net gain or loss of the trust from investments, as reflected by interest payment, dividends, realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities, other investment transactions and expenses paid from the trust. In determining the net income of the trust as of any date, assets shall be valued on the basis of their then fair market value.

Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments to Participants and Beneficiaries When Bank is Insolvent.
| A. | It is the intent of the parties hereto that the trust assets are and shall remain at all times subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Bank. Accordingly, the Bank shall not create a security interest in the trust assets in favor of the participants and beneficiaries of the Plan or any creditor. If the Trustee receives the notice provided for in Paragraph 8B hereof, or otherwise receives actual notice that the Bank is insolvent or bankrupt as defined in Paragraph 8B hereof, the Trustee will make no further distributions from the trust to any of the participants or beneficiaries of the Plan but will deliver the entire amount of the trust assets only as a court of competent jurisdiction or duly appointed received or other person authorized to act by such a court may direct to make the trust assets available to satisfy the claims of the Bank’s general creditors. The Trustee shall resume distributions from the trust to the participants and beneficiaries of the Plan under the terms hereof, upon no less than thirty days’ advance notice to the Bank, if it determines that the Bank was not, or is no longer bankrupt or insolvent. Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Bank’s bankruptcy or insolvency, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether the Bank is bankrupt or insolvent. |
| B. | The Bank, through its board or chief financial officer, shall advise the Trustee promptly in writing of the Bank’s bankruptcy or insolvency. The Bank shall be deemed to be bankrupt or insolvent upon the occurrence of any of the following; |
| 1. | The Bank shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, file a petition in bankruptcy, petition or apply to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator, or any trustee for it or a substantial part of its assets, or shall commence any case under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction (Federal or state), whether now or hereafter in effect; or if there shall have been filed any such petition or application, or any such case shall have been commenced against it, in which an order for relief is entered or which remains undismissed, or the Bank by any act or omission shall indicate its consent to approval of or acquiescence in any such petition, application or case or order for relief or to the appointment of a custodian, receiver or any trustee for it or any substantial part of any of its property, or shall suffer any such custodianship, receivership, or trusteeship to continue undischarged; or |
| 2. | The Bank shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due or shall cease to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business; or |
| 3. | A conservator or receiver shall be appointed by the Bank by Federal Home Loan Bank Board. |
| C. | If the Trustee discontinues payments of benefits under The Plan from the trust pursuant to Paragraph 8A of this trust agreement and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment to a participant or beneficiary following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments which would have been made to the participant or beneficiary in accordance with the Plan during the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of payments of benefits under the Plan made to the participant or his beneficiary by the Bank during any such period of discontinuance. |

The Trustee shall contest the validity of taxes in any manner deemed appropriate by the Bank or its counsel but at the Bank’s expense, and only if it has received an indemnity bond or other security satisfactory to it to pay any such expenses.
