| 9.2 | Claims Procedure and Arbitration. In the event that benefits under this Plan are not paid to the Director (or to his Beneficiary 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 Administrator within sixty (60) days from the date payments are refused. The Administrator shall review the written claim and, if the claim is denied, in whole or in part, shall provide in writing, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such claim, its specific reasons for such denial, reference to the provisions of this Plan or the Initial Deferral Election (or subsequent change to the Initial Deferral Election, made in accordance with Section 10.11 of the Plan, Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations) upon which the denial is based, and any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
| 10.1 | No Effect on Directorship Rights. Nothing contained herein will confer upon the Director the right to be retained in the service of the Bank nor limit the right of the Bank to discharge or otherwise deal with the Director without regard to the existence of the Plan. |
| 10.2 | State Law. The Plan is established under, and will be construed according to, the laws of the State of Iowa, to the extent such laws are not preempted by ERISA and valid regulations published thereunder. |
| 10.3 | Severability. In the event that any of the provisions of this Plan or portion thereof, are held to be inoperative or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, then: (1) insofar as is reasonable, effect will be given to the intent manifested in the provisions held invalid or inoperative, and (2) the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby. |
| 10.4 | Incapacity of Recipient. In the event the Director is declared incompetent and a conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or Estate is appointed, any benefits under the Plan to which such Director is entitled shall be paid to such conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or Estate. |
| 10.5 | Unclaimed Benefit. The Director shall keep the Bank informed of his current address and the current address of his Beneficiaries.

| 10.8 | Effect on Other Corporate Benefit Plans.

| 10.10 | Source of Payments. All payments provided in this Plan shall be timely paid in cash or check from the general funds of the Bank or the assets of the rabbi trust. The Company guarantees payment and provision of all amounts and benefits due to the Directors and, if such amounts and benefits are not timely paid or provided by the Bank or a rabbi trust, such amounts and benefits shall be paid or provided by the Company. |
| 10.11 | Change of Election to Delay Payment. In the event that a Director desires to modify his Benefit Eligibility Date or Payout Period with respect to future Elective Contributions, the Director may file an election to delay the payment date or, if the Director has elected a lump sum payout, to change the form of payment from a lump sum to a period of years (not to exceed 10 years). Subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, the new election must be filed at least 12 months prior to its becoming effective. If the Director becomes entitled to payment during such 12 month period, the new election form shall be ignored and reference shall be made to the prior filed election in determining the timing of the benefit payment. In addition, subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations, the new election shall defer the first payment with respect to such election for a period of not less than 5 years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made. |

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. |

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. Accordingly, payments may be accelerated, in accordance with requirements and conditions of the Treasury Regulations (or subsequent guidance) in the following circumstances: (i) as a result of certain domestic relations orders; (ii) in compliance with ethics agreements with the Federal government; (iii) in compliance with ethics laws or conflicts of interest laws; (iv) in limited cash-outs (but not in excess of the limit under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B)); (v) in the case of certain distributions to avoid a non-allocation year under Code Section 409(p); (vi) to apply certain offsets in satisfaction of a debt of the Director to the Bank; (vii) in satisfaction of certain bona fide disputes between the Director and the Bank; or (viii) for any other purpose set forth in the Treasury Regulations and subsequent guidance. |
