BENEFITS AFTER EMPLOYEE’S TERMINATION OR EMPLOYEE
ATTAINING THE AGE OF 65
|
Upon
his/her retirement on or after age sixty-five (65), Employee shall be
entitled to receive a life insurance policy in the amount of $490,000.00 (“Life
Insurance Benefit”). The policy is intended to be a continuation of the
current policy held by the Bank to fund the Employee’s benefits under this
Plan. The policy delivered to Employee shall contain all of the attributes
of the then current policy in the same proportion as the Life Insurance
Benefit bears to the face amount of the policy. The formula for
determining the attributes shall be as
follows:
|
Attributes

|
Life Insurance Benefit

Alternatively,
the Employee may elect to receive a cash payment equal to the cash
surrender value of the life insurance policy that the Employee is
otherwise entitled to receive upon his/her retirement. The Bank shall
deliver such insurance policy or pay the cash value of the policy to the
Employee in accordance with his/her election as soon as practicable
following the date that is six months after Employee’s separation from
service. In no event, however, shall such policy be delivered or the cash
value paid to the Employee later than two and one half months following
the date that is six months after the Employee’s separation from service
or by the end of the Employee’s taxable year that contains such date,
whichever is later. The Employee shall not be permitted, directly or
indirectly, to designate the taxable year of the delivery or
payment.
|
When Used In This
Section
(a)
|
the
term “then current policy” shall mean all of the policies held by the
Employer to provide funding for the Employee’s obligation under the
Plan.
|
|
(b)
|
the
term “attributes” shall include, but not limited to (1) cash value, (2)
outstanding policy loans, and (3) premiums due.

As
of the date on which Employee retires on or after the age of sixty-five
(65), Employee’s rights under this Agreement, except to the extent
provided in the first section of Section 3, shall terminate. Other
termination provisions are found in Sections 6, 9 and 11
hereof.
|
Should
Employee terminate his/her employment with Bank prior to age 65 or should
Employee be terminated for any reason, except for dishonesty, prior to age
65. Employee shall be entitled to a life insurance policy with a death
benefit to be the lesser of the (a) Life Insurance Benefit or (b) an
amount calculated by multiplying the Life Insurance Benefit by a fraction,
the denominator of which shall be twenty-five (25) and the numerator shall
be the number of consecutive calendar years during which the Employee was
in the employment of the Bank for a full twelve (12) months.
Alternatively, such Employee may elect to receive a cash payment, equal to
the cash surrender value of the policy multiplied by a fraction, the
denominator of which is twenty-five (25) and the numerator shall be the
number of consecutive calendar years during which the Employee was in the
employment of the Bank. The Bank shall deliver such insurance policy or
pay the cash value of the policy to the Employee, in accordance with
his/her election, as soon as practicable following the date that is six
months after the Employee’s separation from service. In no event, however,
shall such policy be delivered or the cash value paid to the Employee
later than two and one-half months following the date that is six months
after Employee’s separation from service or by the end of the Employee’s
taxable year that contains such date, whichever is later. The Employee
shall not be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable
year of the delivery or payment.
