WHEREAS, certain revisions to the Plan are necessary in order to conform such Plan to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) and related regulations and notices promulgated thereunder, with such revisions to be effective as of January 1,2009.

 

NOW THEREFORE, the Bank, acting through its Board, hereby adopts this Restated Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Restated Plan”), on_________, 2008 to be effective as of the 1st day of January 2009, for certain directors (the “Participants”) to be designated from time to time by the Board in accordance with the following provisions:

 

ARTICLE I

 

Purpose

ARTICLE II

 

Definitions

 

2.1            “Account” means the one common bookkeeping account for all deferred compensation maintained on behalf of all Participants in the Plan.

 

2.2            Change in Control of the Bank or the Company shall mean: (i) a change in ownership of the Bank or the Company under paragraph (a) below, or (ii) a change in effective control of the Bank or the Company under paragraph (b) below, or (iii) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Bank or the Company under paragraph (c) below:

 

(a)             CHANGE IN THE OWNERSHIP OF THE BANK OR THE COMPANY. A change in the ownership of the Bank or the Company shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in paragraph (b)), acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of such corporation. However, if any one person or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than 50 percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of a corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation (or to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation (within the meaning of paragraph (b) below). An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the corporation acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this section. This paragraph (a) applies only when there is a transfer of stock of a corporation (or issuance of stock of a corporation) and stock in such corporation remains outstanding after the transaction.

 

 

 

 

(b)            CHANGE IN THE EFFECTIVE CONTROL OF THE BANK OR THE COMPANY. A change in the effective control of the Bank or the Company shall occur on the date that either (i) any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined below), acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of the corporation possessing 30 percent or more of the total voting power of the stock of such corporation; or (ii) a majority of members of the corporation’s board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the corporation’s board of directors prior to the date of the appointment or election, provided that for purposes of this paragraph (b)(ii), the term corporation refers solely to a corporation for which no other corporation is a majority shareholder. In the absence of an event described in paragraph (i) or (ii), a change in the effective control of a corporation will not have occurred. If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively control a corporation (within the meaning of this paragraph (b)), the acquisition of additional control of the corporation by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the corporation (or to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation within the meaning of paragraph (a)). Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.

 

(c)            CHANGE IN THE OWNERSHIP OF A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE BANK OR THE COMPANY’S ASSETS. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Bank or the Company’s assets shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined below), acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the corporation that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the corporation, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. There is no Change in Control event under this paragraph (c) when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation immediately after the transfer.

 

(d)            Each of the sub-paragraphs (a) through (c) above shall be construed and interpreted consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any Treasury regulations or other guidance issued thereunder. However, a change in control shall not be deemed to have occurred as a result of a holding company reorganization of the Company and simultaneous acquisition of more than 50% of the Company’s stock (following the Company’s conversion to stock form) by a parent savings and loan holding company or bank holding company.

ARTICLE XI

 

Section 409A Compliance

11.2            If any provision of the Plan shall be determined to be inconsistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then, the Plan shall be construed, to the maximum extent possible, to give effect to such provision in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code, and if such construction is not possible, as if such provision had never been included.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a Specified Employee, such Participant’s benefit payments shall become first payable to him or her as of the first day of the seventh month next following his or her Termination of Service, if and only if such payments, if made earlier, would result in the recipient of such payments to pay additional interest and taxes to be imposed in accordance with Section 409A(a)(l)(B) of the Code; provide that such payment delay shall not be required in the event of the death of a Participant. “Specified Employee” shall mean a key employee who, at any time during the plan year, is (i) an officer of the Bank having an annual compensation greater than $150,000 (as indexed), (ii) a 5-percent owner of the Company, or (iii) a 1-percent owner of or the Company having an annual compensation from the Bank greater than $150,000; provided, however, that this subparagraph shall only be effective if the stock of the Bank or the Company or a parent corporation is publicly traded as set forth at Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i).

8

 

 

11.5            Termination of Service means that the Participant ceases service with the Bank for any reason whatsoever other than by reason of death, Disability, or a leave of absence, which is approved by the Bank. “Termination of Service” shall have the same meaning as “separation from service”, as that phrase is defined in Section 409A of the Code (taking into account all rules and presumptions provided for in the Section 409A regulations).

 

11.6            De Minimus Lump Sum Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank may, in its sole discretion, commence pay-out of a Participant’s Account at any time, provided that such pay-out amount shall be in an amount equal to not less than the lump sum value of such Account determined on the date of such pay-out; provided that such pay-out (1) accompanies the termination of the Participant’s entire interest under the Plan and all similar arrangements that constitute an account balance plan under Regulations at Section 1.409A-1(c) applicable to Section 409A of the Code; and (2) the payment is not greater than the applicable dollar amount under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B).
