DIRECTOR SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN DIRECTOR AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.10
DIRECTOR SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN
DIRECTOR AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this day of , 2002, by and between Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank, a bank organized and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland (hereinafter referred to as the “Bank”), and , a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank (hereinafter referred to as the “Director”).
WHEREAS, the Director is now serving 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 his/her service on the Board;
WHEREAS, the Bank and the Director are parties to a Supplemental Director Retirement Plan Agreement dated November 21, 1995 between Vanguard Federal Savings and Loan Association and that provides for the payment of certain benefits. This Director Supplemental Retirement Plan Agreement and the benefits provided hereunder shall replace and supersede the existing Supplemental Director Retirement Plan Agreement and the benefits provided thereby;
ACCORDINGLY, the Board has adopted the Bay-Vanguard Federal Savings Bank 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 under 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 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:
DEFINITIONS
A. | Effective Date: |
The Effective Date of the Director Plan shall be , 2002.
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 “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 to be re-elected 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 Expenses (Subparagraph I [H]) for that Plan Year, divided by a factor equal to 1.20 minus the marginal tax rate.
G. | Index: |
The Index for any Plan Year shall be the aggregate annual after-tax income from the life insurance contract(s) described herein below as defined by FASB Technical
2
Bulletin 85-4. This Index shall be applied as if such insurance contracts were purchased on the Effective Date of the Director Plan.
Insurance Company: | Jefferson Pilot Life Insurance Company | |
Policy Form: | Flexible Premium Adjustable Life | |
Policy Name: | ESP 100 | |
Insured’s Age and Sex: | ||
Riders: | None | |
Ratings: | None | |
Option: | Level | |
Face Amount: | $ | |
Premiums Paid: | $ | |
Number of Premium Payments: | Single | |
Assumed Purchase Date: | , 2002 |
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. Said illustrations shall 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 Director and the Director’s 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 the 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 Average After-Tax Cost of Funds [Subparagraph I (K)].
I. | Mutual to Stock Conversion or a Change of Control: |
Mutual to Stock Conversion shall mean any of the following: (i) the conversion of the Bank from a mutual savings bank to an entity that issues stock and is owned by its shareholders, (ii) the Bank merging with another mutual savings bank, or, (iii) the Bank merging with a mutual holding company. Such Mutual to Stock Conversion shall be deemed to be a Change of Control for purposes of this Agreement.
3
J. | Normal Retirement Age: |
Normal Retirement Age shall mean the date on which the Director attains age seventy (70).
K. | Average After-Tax Cost of Funds: |
The Average After-Tax Cost of Funds means, at any particular time, a ratio, the numerator of which is the total interest expense as set forth on Schedule RI-Income Statement of the Bank’s most recently filed Consolidated Report of Condition and Income (the “Thrift Financial Report”) and the denominator of which is an amount equal to: (i) the amount of deposits in domestic offices (sum of total of columns A and C from Schedule RC-E of the Thrift Financial Report), plus (ii) the amount of Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, as set forth on Schedule RC-Balance Sheet of the Thrift Financial Report. In the event that the Thrift Financial Report is discontinued or is changed in any way that it is no longer a valid method for determining Average After-Tax Cost of Funds, the method for determining Average After-Tax Cost of Funds may be changed at the sole discretion of the Bank.
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 one hundred twenty (120) monthly 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.
Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, the total amount of the benefit each year for the entire duration of said benefit payments (i.e. the Pre-Retirement Account and the Index Retirement Benefit solely or combined with the Pre-Retirement Account) to be received by the Director shall not exceed Six Thousand One Hundred and 00/100ths Dollars ($6,100.00).
4
B. | Termination of Service: |
Subject to Subparagraph II (D), should a Director suffer a Termination of Service, the Director shall be entitled to receive ten percent (10%) times the number of full years of service on the Board of the Bank from the date of first service on the Board of the Bank (to a maximum of 100%), times the balance in the Pre-Retirement Account payable to the Director in one hundred twenty (120) monthly installments commencing thirty (30) days following the Director’s Normal Retirement Age (Subparagraph I [J]). In addition to these payments and commencing in conjunction therewith, ten percent (10%) times the number of full years of service on the Board of the Bank from the date of first service on the Board of the Bank (to a maximum of 100%), times the Index Retirement Benefit for each Plan Year subsequent to the year in which the Director attains Normal Retirement Age, and including the remaining portion of the Plan Year in which the Director attains Normal Retirement Age, shall be paid to the Director until the Director’s death.
Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, the total amount of the benefit each year for the entire duration of said benefit payments (i.e. the Pre-Retirement Account and the Index Retirement Benefit solely or combined with the Pre-Retirement Account) to be received by the Director shall not exceed Six Thousand One Hundred and 00/100ths Dollars ($6,100.00).
C. | Death: |
Should the Director die while there is a balance in the Director’s Pre-Retirement Account (Subparagraph I [E]), said unpaid balance shall be paid in a lump sum to the individual or individuals the Director may have designated in writing and filed with the Bank. In the absence of any effective beneficiary designation, 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.
D. | Discharge for Cause: |
Should the Director be Discharged for Cause at any time, all benefits under this Director Plan shall be forfeited. The term “for cause” shall mean: (i) the conviction of a felony involving fraud; or (ii) a breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit. If a dispute arises as to discharge “for cause,” such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration as set forth in this Director Plan.
E. | Death Benefit: |
Except as set forth above, there is no death benefit provided under this Agreement.
5
F. | Disability Benefit: |
In the event the Director becomes disabled prior to any Termination of Service, and the Director’s employment is terminated because of such disability, he shall immediately begin receiving the benefits in Subparagraph II (A) above. Such benefit shall begin without regard to the Director’s Normal Retirement Age and the Director shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested in the entire benefit amount. If there is a dispute regarding whether the Director is disabled, such dispute shall be resolved by a physician selected by the Bank and such resolution shall be binding upon all parties to this Agreement.
III. | RESTRICTIONS UPON FUNDING |
The Bank shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any fund or money with which to pay its obligations under this Director Plan. The Directors, their beneficiary(ies), or any successor in interest shall be and remain simply a general creditor of the Bank in the same manner as any other creditor having a general claim for matured and unpaid compensation.
The Bank reserves the absolute right, at its sole discretion, to either fund the obligations undertaken by this Director Plan or to refrain from funding the same and to determine the extent, nature and method of such funding. Should the Bank elect to fund this Director Plan, in whole or in part, through the purchase of life insurance, mutual funds, disability policies or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such funding at any time, in whole or in part. At no time shall any Director be deemed to have any lien nor right, title or interest in or to any specific funding investment or to any assets of the Bank.
If the Bank elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity policy upon the life of the Director, then the Director shall assist the Bank by freely submitting to a physical exam and supplying such additional information necessary to obtain such insurance or annuities.
IV. | MUTUAL TO STOCK CONVERSION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL |
Upon a Mutual to Stock Conversion or a Change of Control (as defined in Subparagraph I (I) herein), if the Director’s employment is subsequently terminated, except for cause, then the Director shall receive the benefits promised in this Agreement upon attaining Normal Retirement Age, as if he had been continuously employed by the Bank until said 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.
6
V. | MISCELLANEOUS |
A. | Alienability and Assignment Prohibition: |
Neither the Director, nor the Director’s surviving spouse, nor any other beneficiary(ies) under this Director Plan shall have any power or right to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate, mortgage, commute, modify or otherwise encumber in advance any of the benefits payable hereunder nor shall any of said benefits be subject to seizure for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Director or the Director’s beneficiary(ies), nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise. In the event the Director or any beneficiary attempts assignment, commutation, hypothecation, transfer or disposal of the benefits hereunder, the Bank’s liabilities shall forthwith cease and terminate.
B. | Binding Obligation of the Bank and any Successor in Interest: |

may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operation responsibilities of the Director Plan including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.
B. | Claims Procedure and Arbitration: |
In the event a dispute arises over benefits under this Director Plan and benefits are not paid to the Director (or to the Director’s beneficiary(ies) in the case of the Director’s death) and such claimants feel they are entitled to receive such benefits, then a written claim must be made to the Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator named above within sixty (60) days from the date payments are refused. The Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator shall review the written claim and if the claim is denied, in whole or in part, it shall provide in writing within sixty (60) days of receipt of such claim the specific reasons for such denial, reference to the provisions of this Director Plan upon which the denial is based and any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim. Such written notice shall further indicate the additional steps to be taken by claimants if a further review of the claim denial is desired. A claim shall be deemed denied if the Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator fail to take any action within the aforesaid sixty-day period.
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. In their sole discretion, the Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator shall then review the second claim and provide a written decision within sixty (60) days of receipt of such claim. 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.
