DIRECTOR SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN DIRECTOR AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.7
DIRECTOR SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN
DIRECTOR AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 19th day of November, 1999, by and between St. Tammany Homestead Savings & Loan Association, a savings and loan association organized and existing under the laws of the State of Louisiana, (hereinafter referred to as the, “Bank”), and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank (hereinafter referred to as the, “Director”).
WHEREAS, the Director is now on the Board of the Bank (hereinafter referred to as the, “Board”) and has for many years faithfully served the Bank. It is the consensus of the Board of Directors that the Director’s services have been of exceptional merit, in excess of the compensation paid and an invaluable contribution to the profits and position of the Bank in its field of activity. The Board further believes that the Director’s experience, knowledge of corporate affairs, reputation and industry contacts are of such value, and the Director’s continued services so essential to the Bank’s future growth and profits, that it would suffer severe financial loss should the Director terminate their service on the Board;
ACCORDINGLY, the Board has adopted the St. Tammany Homestead, Savings & Loan Association Director Supplemental Retirement Plan (hereinafter referred to as the, ‘‘Director Plan”) and it is the desire of the Bank and the Director to enter into this agreement which the Bank will agree to make certain payments to the Director upon the Director’s retirement and to the Director’s beneficiary(ies) in the event of the Director’s death pursuant to the Director Plan;
FURTHERMORE, it is the intent of the parties hereto that this Director Plan be considered an unfunded arrangement maintained primarily to provide supplemental retirement benefits for the Director, and to be considered a non-qualified benefit plan for purposes of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Director is fully advised of the Bank’s financial status and has had substantial input in the design and operation of this benefit plan; and
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of services the Director has performed in the past and those to be performed in the future, and based upon the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, the Bank and the Director agree as follows:
| I. | DEFINITIONS |
| A. | Effective Date: |
The Effective Date of the Plan shall be July 12, 1999.
| B. | Plan Year: |
Any reference to the “Plan Year” shall mean a calendar year from January 1st to December 31st. In the year of implementation, the term the “Plan Year” shall mean the period from the Effective Date to December 31st of the year of the Effective Date.
| C. | Retirement Date: |
Retirement Date shall mean retirement from service with the Bank which becomes effective on the first day of the calendar month following the month in which the Director reaches age seventy (70) or such later date as the Director may actually retire.
| D. | Termination of Service: |
Termination of Service shall mean the Director’s voluntary resignation from service on the Board or failure of re-election to the Board, prior to the Normal Retirement Age [Subparagraph I (J)].
| E. | Pre-Retirement Account |
A Pre-Retirement Account·shall be established as a liability reserve account on the books of the Bank for the benefit of the Director. Prior to the Director’s Termination of Service or the Director’s retirement, whichever event shall first occur, such liability reserve account shall be increased or decreased each Plan Year, until the aforestated event occurs, by the Index Retirement Benefit [Subparagraph I (F)].
| F. | Index Retirement Benefit: |
The Index Retirement Benefit for each Director in the Director Plan for each Plan Year shall be equal to the excess (if any) of the Index [Subparagraph I (G)] for that Plan Year over the Cost of Funds Expense [Subparagraph I (H)] for that Plan Year.
| G. | Index: |
The Index for any Plan Year shall be the aggregate annual after-tax income from the life insurance contract(s) described hereinbelow as defined by FASB Technical Bulletin 85-4. This Index shall be applied as if such insurance contracts were purchased on the Effective Date of the Director Plan.

If such contracts of life insurance are actually purchased by the Bank, then the actual policies as of the dates they were actually purchased shall be used in calculations under this Director Plan. If such contracts of life insurance are not purchased or are subsequently surrendered or lapsed, then the Bank shall receive annual policy illustrations that assume the above-described policies were purchased, or had not subsequently surrendered or lapsed, which illustrations will be received from the respective insurance companies and will indicate the increase in policy values for purposes of calculating the amount of the Index.
In either case, references to the life insurance contracts are merely for purposes of calculating a benefit. The Bank has no obligation to purchase such life insurance and, if purchased, the Directors and their beneficiary(ies) shall have no ownership interest in such policy and shall always have no greater interest in the benefits under this Director Plan than that of an unsecured creditor of the Bank.
| H. | Cost of Funds Expense: |
The Cost of Funds Expense for any Plan Year shall be calculated by taking the sum of the amount of premiums for the life insurance policies described in the definition of “Index” plus the amount of any after-tax benefits paid to any Director pursuant to the Director Plan (Paragraph II hereinafter) plus the amount of all previous years after-tax Costs of Funds Expense, and multiplying that sum by the after-tax thirty day (30) mortgage repurchase rate.
| L. | Mutual to Stock Conversion or a Change of Control: |
Mutual to Stock Conversion shall mean the conversion of the Bank from a mutual savings and loan association to an entity which issues stock and is owned by its shareholders. Such Mutual to Stock Conversion shall be deemed to be a Change of Control for purposes of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Director Plan, transfers on account of deaths 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.
| J. | Normal Retirement Age: |
Normal Retirement Age shall mean the date on which the Director attains age seventy (70).
| II. | INDEX BENEFITS |
| A. | Retirement Benefits: |
Subject to Subparagraph II (D) hereinafter, a Director who remains on the Board until the Normal Retirement Age [Subparagraph I (J)] shall be entitled to receive the balance in the Pre-Retirement Account in ten (10) equal annual installments commencing thirty (30) days following the Director’s retirement. In addition to these payments and commencing in conjunction therewith, the Index Retirement Benefit [Subparagraph I (F)] for each Plan Year subsequent to the Director’s retirement, and including the remaining portion of the Plan Year following said retirement, shall be paid to the Director until the Director’s death.

In the absence of any effective designation of beneficiary(ies), the unpaid balance shall be paid as set forth herein to the duly qualified executor or administrator of the Director’s estate. Said payment due hereunder shall be made the first day of the second month following the decease of the Director.

If claimants desire a second review they shall notify the Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator in writing within sixty (60) days of the first claim denial. Claimants may review this Director Plan or any documents relating thereto and submit any written issues and comments it may feel appropriate.

This decision shall likewise state the specific reasons for the decision and shall include reference to specific provisions of the Plan Agreement upon which the decision is based.
If claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon completed performance of this Director Plan or the meaning and effect of the terms and conditions thereof, then claimants may submit the dispute to an Arbitrator for final arbitration. The Arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the Bank and the claimants. The Arbitrator shall operate under any generally recognized set of arbitration rules. The parties hereto agree that they and their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns shall be bound by the decision of such Arbitrator with respect to any controversy properly submitted to it for determination.
Where a dispute arises as to the Bank’s discharge of the Director for “cause”, such dispute shall likewise be submitted to arbitration as above- described and the parties hereto agree to be bound by the decision thereunder.
| VII. | TERMINATION OR MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT BY REASON OF CHANGES IN THE LAW, RULES OR REGULATIONS |
The Bank is entering into this Agreement upon the assumption that certain existing tax laws, rules and regulations will continue in effect in their current form. If any said assumptions should change and said change has a detrimental effect on this Director Plan, then the Bank reserves the right to terminate or modify this Agreement accordingly. Upon a Change of Control [Subparagraph I (1)], this paragraph shall become null and void effective immediately upon said Change of Control.

St. Tammany Homestead Savings & Loan Association (“Bank”) and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx (“Director”) originally entered into the St. Tammany Homestead Savings & Loan Association Director Supplemental Retirement Plan Director Agreement (“Agreement”) on November 19, 1999. Pursuant to Subparagraph V (C) of the Agreement, the Bank and the Director hereby adopt this 409A Amendment, effective January 1, 2005.
RECITALS
This Amendment is intended to bring the Agreement into compliance with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Accordingly; the intent of the parties hereto is that the Agreement shall be operated and interpreted consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. Therefore, the following changes shall be made:
| 1. | Subparagraph I (1), “Mutual to Stock Conversion or Change of Control” shall be deleted in its entirety, renamed “Change in Control” and replaced with the following Subparagraph I (1): |
Change in Control: “Change in Control” shall mean a change in ownership or control of the Bank as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5) or any subsequently applicable Treasury Regulation.
| 2. | The following provision regarding “Separation from Service” distributions shall be added as a new subparagraph (K) under Section I, as follows: |
Separation from Service: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any benefit under this Agreement is payable upon a “Termination of Employment,” “Termination of Service,” or other event involving the Director’s cessation of services, such payment(s) shall not be made unless such event constitutes a “Separation from Service” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-l(h).
| 3. | Subparagraph II (A), “Retirement Benefits”, shall be modified to insert the word “annually’’ into the second sentence after the word “paid”. |
| 4. | A new Subparagraph II (F) shall be added as follows: |
Restriction on Timing of Distribution: Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, distributions under this Agreement may not commence earlier than six (6) months after the date of a Separation from Service (as described under the “Separation from Service” provision herein) if, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the participant hereto is considered a “specified employee” (under Internal Revenue Code Section 416(i)) of the Bank if any stock of the Bank is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise. In the event a distribution is delayed pursuant to this Section, the originally scheduled distribution shall be delayed for six (6) months, and shall commence instead on the first day of the seventh month following Separation from Service. If payments are scheduled to be made in installments, the first six (6) months of installment payments shall be delayed,
aggregated, and paid instead on the first day of the seventh month, after which all installment payments shall be made on their regular schedule. If payment is scheduled to be made in a lump sum, the lump sum payment shall be delayed for six (6) months and instead be made on the first day of the seventh month.
| 5. | A new Subparagraph II (G) shall be added as follows: |
Certain Accelerated Payments: The Bank may make any accelerated distribution permissible under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3G)(4) to the Director of deferred amounts, provided that such distribution(s) meets the requirements of Section 1.409A-3(j)(4).
| 6. | Section IV, “Mutual to Stock Conversion or Change of Control”, shall be deleted in its entirety, renamed “Change in Control” and replaced with the following Section IV: |
Upon a Change in Control (as defined in Subparagraph I [I] herein), the Director shall receive the benefits in Subparagraph II (A) of this Agreement in the same form and with the same timing, except that the payments shall commence upon the Director attaining Normal Retirement Age. The Director will also remain eligible for all promised death benefits in this Agreement. In addition, no sale, merger, consolidation or conversion of the Bank shall take place unless the new or surviving entity expressly acknowledges the obligations under this Agreement and agrees to abide by its terms.
| 7. | A new Subparagraph V (K) shall be added as follows: |
Subsequent Changes to Time and Form of Payment: The Bank may permit a subsequent change to the time and form of benefit distributions. Any such change shall be considered made only when it becomes irrevocable under the terms of the Agreement. Any change will be considered irrevocable not later than thirty (30) days following acceptance of the change by the Plan Administrator, subject to the following rules:
| (1) | the subsequent deferral election may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made; |
| (2) | the payment (except in the case of death, disability, or unforeseeable emergency) upon which the subsequent deferral election is made is deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid; and |
| (3) | in the case of a payment made at a specified time, the election must be made not less than twelve (12) months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid. |
Therefore, the foregoing changes are agreed to.
