3.1.1 Deferrals. The Compensations deferred by the Executive as of the time the Compensations would have otherwise been paid to the Executive.

3.1.2 Interest.

 (a) On the last day of each month until commencement of benefit distributions under this Agreement, interest shall be credited on the Deferral Account balance, at an annual rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate on the last business day of the month.

 (b) On the last day of each month during any applicable installment period, interest shall be credited on the unpaid Deferral Account balance at an annual rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate on the last business day of the month.

3.2 Statement of Accounts. 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 Deferral Account balance.

3.3 Accounting Device Only. The Deferral Account is solely a device for measuring amounts to be paid under this Agreement. The Deferral Account is not a trust fund of any kind. The Executive is a general unsecured creditor of the Bank for the distribution of benefits. The benefits represent the mere Bank promise to pay such benefits. The Executive’s rights are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by the Executive’s creditors.

4.5 Hardship Distribution. If the Executive experiences an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Executive may petition the Board to receive a payout from the Agreement. The Board in its sole discretion may grant such petition. If granted, the Executive shall receive, within sixty (60) days, a payout from the Agreement (i) only to the extent deemed necessary by the Board to satisfy the Executive’s Unforeseeable Emergency, plus an amount necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution; and (ii) after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Executive’s assets (to the extent the liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship).

4.6 Restriction on Timing of Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is considered a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code and regulations thereunder, benefit distributions that qualify as a “separation from service” under Section 409A of the Code and regulations thereunder may not commence earlier than six (6) months after the date of such separation from service.

The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the

4

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 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.

6.5 Facility of Distribution. If the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion that a benefit is to be paid 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 Beneficiary, as the case maybe, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such distribution amount.
