Article 4
Beneficiaries
4.1 Beneficiary. The Executive shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary(ies) to receive any benefit distributions under this Agreement to a Beneficiary upon the death of the Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different from the beneficiary designation under any other plan of the Bank in which the Executive participates.
4.2 Beneficiary Designation; Change. The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated agent. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and
5
otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and accepted by the Plan Administrator prior to the Executive’s death.
4.3 Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Plan Administrator or its designated agent.
4.4 No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive’s spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive and the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefit distributions shall be made to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate.
4.5 Facility of Distribution. If the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion that a benefit is to be distributed to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Plan Administrator may direct distribution of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Plan Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any distribution of a benefit shall be a distribution for the account of the Executive and the Executive’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such distribution amount.
Article 5
General Limitations
5.1 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not distribute any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive’s service is terminated for Cause as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement.
5.2 Suicide or Misstatement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall receive the Early Termination Benefit described in Section 2.2.1, if either of the following events occurs:
(i) the Executive commits suicide during Active Service prior to the Normal Retirement Age and within two years after the Effective Date; or
(ii) the Executive otherwise dies during Active Service prior to the Normal Retirement Age and any insurance company that issued a life insurance policy
6
covering the Executive and owned by the Bank denies coverage for material misstatements of fact made by the Executive on an application for such life insurance or for any other reason.
Under such circumstances, the Early Termination Benefit amount shall be distributed to the Executive’s Beneficiary in twelve (12) consecutive equal monthly installments commencing within thirty (30) days following the Executive’s death. The annual benefit shall be distributed to the Beneficiary for a period of twenty (20) years. If the Executive dies under any circumstances other than as provided in this Section 5.2, then the Executive’s Beneficiary shall receive the benefit payable under the applicable provision of Article 3 of this Agreement.
5.3 Regulatory Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not distribute any benefit under this Agreement if, at the time such benefit otherwise is payable, the Executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. In addition to the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, any payments to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder.
5.4 Confidentiality and Non-compete Restrictions. The Executive shall forfeit any non-distributed benefits under this Agreement if the Executive fails to comply fully with the terms of Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Employment Agreement (the “Confidentiality and Non-compete Restrictions”).
5.4.1 Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any provision of the Confidentiality and Non-compete Restrictions, the Executive recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Bank, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Bank. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of these restrictions, the Executive agrees that the Bank may obtain preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive relief, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Bank’s rights hereunder and preventing the Executive from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Confidentiality and Non-compete Restrictions are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the protections afforded the Bank pursuant to the Confidentiality and Non-compete Restrictions are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the Confidentiality and Non-compete Restrictions will not be materially adverse to the Executive’s employment with the Bank, and (iv) his agreement to observe the
7
Confidentiality and Non-compete Restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.
5.4.2 Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant. It is the intention of the parties that if any restrictive covenant in this Agreement or in the Confidentiality and Non-compete Restrictions is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad, then the court should enforce such restrictive covenant to the maximum extent permitted under the law as to area, breadth and duration.
Article 6
Administration of Agreement
6.1 Plan Administrator Duties. This Agreement shall be administered by a Plan Administrator which shall consist of the Board.
6.2 Agents. In the administration of this Agreement, the Plan Administrator may employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit, (including acting through a duly appointed representative), and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to the Bank.
6.3 Indemnity of Plan Administrator. The Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the members of the Plan Administrator against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Agreement, except in the case of willful misconduct by the Plan Administrator or any of its members.
6.4 Bank Information. To enable the Plan Administrator to perform its functions, the Bank shall supply full and timely information to the Plan Administrator on all matters relating to the date and circumstances of the retirement, Disability, death, or Separation from Service of the Executive, and such other pertinent information as the Plan Administrator may reasonably require.
6.5 Annual Statement. The Plan Administrator shall provide to the Executive, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Plan Year, a statement setting forth the Account Value as of the end of such Plan Year and the benefits that are payable under this Agreement as of such date.

Upon termination of this Agreement for the reason stated in the second sentence of Section 8.1 prior to a Change in Control, the Bank shall distribute to the Executive the Early Termination benefit described in Section 2.2.1 as if Early Termination occurred on the date of such termination, regardless of whether Early Termination actually occurs.

The annual benefit
10
shall be distributed to the Executive for twenty (20) years.

The benefits represent the mere promise by the Bank to distribute such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Executive’s life or other informal funding asset is a general asset of the Bank to which the Executive and Beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.
9.7 Reorganization.
