Eligibility and Benefits
Eligibility and Benefits
3.1 Eligibility and Service.
(a) Eligibility. Eligibility to participate in the Plan shall be limited to those Executives who are selected to participate by the Board and who complete a Participation Agreement indicating the manner in which any benefit payable hereunder shall be paid. Such Participation Agreement shall be completed within thirty (30) days of initial eligibility to participate in the Plan.
(b) Service. An Executive must have both twenty (20) Years of Service with the Bank and must Separate from Service on or after the Early Retirement Age in order to receive the Normal Retirement Benefit. If an Executive has a Separation from Service on or after attainment of the Early Retirement Age and after completing at least five (5) Years of Service but less than twenty (20) Years of Service, the Director will be entitled to a Retirement Benefit, but will not be entitled to the Normal Retirement Benefit. The manner in which the Retirement Benefit is calculated is set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.
3.2 Determination of Benefits. An Executive who Separates from Service prior to attainment of Early Retirement Age, other than due to death or Disability or following a Change in Control, shall be entitled to a Retirement Benefit in accordance with Section 3.2(a).
(a) Based on Vesting in Incentive Awards. An Executive shall vest separately in each Incentive Award received at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per year.
Example: An Executive who has received Incentive Awards for five years shall be vested in his or her Account as follows:
|
|
■
|
100% vested in Incentive Award received in Year One.
|
|
|
■
|
80% vested in Incentive Award received in Year Two.
|
|
|
■
|
60% vested in Incentive Award received in Year Three.
|
|
|
■
|
40% vested in Incentive Award received in Year Four.
|
|
|
■
|
20% vested in Incentive Award received in Year Five.
|
(b) Benefit on Separation from Service after Normal Retirement Age. If an Executive has a Separation from Service before 20 Years of Service, his benefit will be calculated in accordance with Section 3.2(a) above. If the Executive has a Separation from Service after attainment of Early Retirement Age or Normal Retirement Age and 20 Years of Service, he or she will be entitled to the Normal Retirement Benefit.
(c) Benefit in the Event of Death or Disability. In the event of an Executive’s death or Disability during employment, the Executive will become 100% vested in his or her Incentive Awards and Account balance, without regard to whether the Executive has attained the Early Retirement Age or Normal Retirement Age and 20 Years of Service.
(d) Benefit in the event of a Change in Control. In the event of the occurrence of a Change in Control during an Executive’s employment, the Executive will become 100% vested in his or her Account balance, without regard to whether the Executive has attained the Early Retirement Age or Normal Retirement Age and 20 Years of Service. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the payment of the benefit hereunder, when aggregated with the other payments to which the Executive would be entitled that are contingent on the Change in Control, would cause an Executive to have an “excess parachute payment” under Code Section 280G, the benefit payable hereunder shall be reduced to avoid such excess parachute payment.
(e) Benefit in the Event of Termination for Cause. In the event of an Executive’s Termination for Cause, any benefit to which the Executive is entitled hereunder shall be forfeited.
3.3 Time and Manner of Payment
(a) The benefits paid under Sections 3.2(a) on Separation from Service shall be paid in annual installments over a 15 year period (with interest at the Prime Rate) if the Executive has a Separation from Service on or after age 60 and over a 5 year period (with interest at the Prime Rate) if the Executive has a Separation from Service prior to age 60). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive makes a timely election on his Participation Agreement, the Executive’s vested Account will be paid in a lump sum rather than in installments. In the event Executive is a Specified Employee, the benefit payable hereunder, or the initial installment thereof, shall be paid on the first day of the seventh month following Separation from Service, and except in the case of a lump sum distribution, shall be payable thereafter on each annual anniversary of such date. The benefit payable to an Executive who is not a Specified Employee shall be payable commencing on the first business day of the month following the month in which the Executive has a Separation from Service, and except in the case of a lump sum distribution, shall be payable thereafter on each annual anniversary of such date.
(b) The benefits paid under Section 3.2(b) due to death or Disability shall be paid in annual installments over a 15 year period (with interest at the Prime Rate) or, in the event the Executive has made a timely election for a lump sum payment on death or Disability, in a lump sum, commencing within sixty days of death or the determination of Disability.
(c) The benefits paid under Section 3.2(c) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the effective date of the Change in Control, regardless of whether the Executive has had a Separation of Service. If an Executive has Separated from Service prior to a Change in Control and a Change in Control occurs while the Executive is receiving benefits hereunder, the remaining benefit due to the Executive shall be paid in a lump sum on the effective date of the Change in Control.

Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous
8.1 Unfunded Plan. This Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

To the extent any benefits provided under the Plan are actually paid from any such trust, the Bank shall have no further obligation with respect thereto, but to the extent not so paid, such benefits shall remain the obligation of, and shall be paid by, the Bank.
8.4 Payment to Executive, Legal Representative or Beneficiary. Any payment to any Executive or the legal representative, Beneficiary, or to any guardian or committee appointed for such Executive or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the Bank, which may require the Executive, legal representative, Beneficiary, guardian or committee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release thereof in such form as shall be determined by the Bank.
8.5 Nonassignability. Neither an Executive nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are, expressly declared to be unassignable and nontransferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by an Executive or any other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of an Executive’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
8.6 Terms. Whenever any words are used herein in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were used in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and whenever any words are used herein in the singular or in the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply.
8.7 Captions. The captions of the articles, sections and paragraphs of this Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.

Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to any member of the Committee, the Plan Administrator, or the Secretary of the Bank.

8.12 Payment of Employment and Code Section 409A Taxes. Any distribution under this Plan shall be reduced by the amount of any taxes required to be withheld from such distribution. This Plan shall permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of a payment to pay employment related taxes as permitted under Treasury regulation Section 1.409A-3(j) or to pay any taxes that may become due at any time that the arrangement fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder. In the latter case, such payments shall not exceed the amount required to be included in income as the result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
8.13 Acceleration of Payments. Except as specifically permitted herein or in other sections of this Plan, no acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment may be made hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments may be accelerated hereunder by the Bank, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) and any subsequent guidance issued by the United States Treasury Department.

If the charges in such notice are dismissed, the Bank, in its discretion, may (i) pay to the Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while the Bank’s obligations hereunder were suspended and (ii) reinstate, in whole or in part, any of the obligations which were suspended.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all prospective obligations of the Bank under this Plan shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights and obligations of the Bank and the Executive shall not be affected.
