ENDORSEMENT SPLIT-DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE PLAN

This Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Plan (the “Plan”) is established by Cincinnati Federal Savings and Loan Association, located in Cincinnati, Ohio (the “Association”) for the benefit of certain highly compensated or management employees of the Association.

 

1. Purpose

This Plan is established as part of an integrated executive compensation program that is intended to attract, retain and motivate certain highly compensated or management employees of the Association (“Employee(s)”) who are in a position to make significant contributions to the operation and profitability of the Association.

Each such Employee may agree to participate in the Plan by completing a Participation Agreement similar in form to that set forth in Schedule A and a Beneficiary Designation similar in form to that set forth in Schedule B; provided, however, participation and all benefits under this Plan are subject to the actual purchase of a life insurance Policy under Section 4 and are further subject to the Policy being in force at the time of the Employees death.

 

4. Purchase of Life Insurance Policies

Association shall use its best efforts to purchase one or more life insurance policies on the life of each eligible Employee in an amount sufficient to provide for the benefits outlined in Section 7 of the Plan; provided, however, that the Association shall retain the absolute right to decline to purchase a Policy on the life of any Employee for any reason whatsoever. Each policy purchased shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan (“Policy”).

The Employee’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to the amount shown on such Employee’s Participation Agreement from the total benefit payable from the Policy as of the Employee’s date of death. The Employee’s Beneficiary shall receive the death proceeds in a single lump sum payment as soon as practicable following the death of the Employee, subject to any right or interest the Association may have in such proceeds, as provided in the Plan. If the Employee’s death occurs after he or she terminates employment or if the Policy is no longer in force on such Employee’s date of death, no benefit shall be payable to the Employee’s Beneficiary.
