IBT BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

 

Period Ended June 30, 2007

 

NOTE E – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159 the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB 115. FASB No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments at fair value. It was developed to improve financial reporting by reducing the volatility pertaining to the measurement of assets and liabilities without having to apply complex hedge accounting guidance. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Company is evaluating the effects of this statement on its financial statements and has not elected to adopt early.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “contemplates”, “expects”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which include changes in interest rates, risks associated with the effect of opening new branches, the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic conditions. IBT Bancorp, Inc. undertakes no obligation to update those forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

GENERAL

 

IBT Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Irwin, Pennsylvania, which provides a full range of commercial and retail banking services through its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Irwin Bank (collectively, the “Company”). In the fall of 2006, the Company began a branding and market research initiative. As a result of this on-going endeavor, in February 2007, the Company developed a new logo for its banking subsidiary and shortened its name to “Irwin Bank”. The Company’s stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol IRW. All historical per share amounts have been restated for the 100% stock dividend paid on November 16, 2006.

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

At June 30, 2007 total assets increased $15.5 million to $756.5 million from $741.0 million at December 31, 2006. The asset growth was primarily due to an increase in net loans of $8.6 million and an increase in securities available for sale of $4.2 million.

 

Net loans at June 30, 2007 reached $476.3 million, an $8.6 million increase over the reported total of $467.7 million at December 31, 2006. Loan growth was concentrated in real estate secured mortgage and commercial loans, which increased $10.0 million and consumer installment loans, which increased $1.9 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in consumer lines of credit and municipal loans of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. In June 2007, approximately $3.0 million in real estate secured commercial mortgages, previously included in non-performing accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more, were transferred to non accrual status. The Company believes that these loans are sufficiently collateralized and does not anticipate any future losses.

 

At June 30, 2007, securities available for sale increased $4.2 million to $225.4 million from $221.2 million at December 31, 2006. This change was primarily due to increases in U.S. government agencies of $9.7 million offset by net decreases in mortgage-backed securities and obligations of state and political sub-divisions of $2.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The Company evaluates the investment portfolio on an on-going basis to maximize yield, within board-approved risk thresholds, making purchasing and selling decisions accordingly.

 

7

 


At June 30, 2007, total liabilities increased $17.1 million to $695.5 million from $678.4 million at December 31, 2006. The changes in total liabilities were primarily due to increases in total deposits and repurchase agreements of $2.2 million and $18.5 million, respectively offset by a $4.3 million decrease in FHLB advances.

 

Repurchase agreements increased $18.5 million to $45.9 million at June 30, 2007, from $27.4 million at December 31, 2006 as a result of an increase in customers with sweep arrangements as well as existing customers temporarily maintaining higher balances. The Company offers its corporate customers sweep accounts where unused deposit balances are swept into an overnight repurchase agreement yielding market rates.

 

FHLB advance totals dropped $4.3 million to $68.1 million at June 30, 2007, from $72.4 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease is due to the contractual maturity of $4.0 million in advances and principal payments on amortizing advances of $849,000. These decreases were offset by an increase of $560,000 in the Company’s open line of credit, which is primarily used to meet daily liquidity needs.

 

Non-interest bearing deposit accounts increased $1.4 million to $87.0 million at June 30, 2007, from $85.6 million at December 31, 2006. This increase is attributed to normal fluctuations, which arise due to the timing of month-end pension and social security deposits.

 

Interest-bearing deposits increased $843,000 to $487.8 million at June 30, 2007, from $486.9 million at December 31, 2006. The change was primarily due to increases in money market accounts, interest bearing checking accounts, and savings accounts of $7.9 million, $2.4 million, and $2.0 million, respectively. Offsetting the increases was a decrease of $11.5 million in certificates of deposit. The certificate of deposit decreases were primarily from short-term certificates that the Company had not anticipated maintaining.

 

At June 30, 2007, total stockholders’ equity decreased $1.6 million to $61.0 million from $62.6 million at December 31, 2006. The change was primarily due to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (net of deferred income taxes) of $2.6 million, dividends paid of $2.9 million, and treasury stock purchased of $33,000 offset by net income of $3.9 million. Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased as a result of changes in the net unrealized gains/losses on securities available for sale. Because of the effect of interest rate volatility on unrealized gains/losses on securities available for sale, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income could materially fluctuate for each interim period and year-end. See Note D to the consolidated financial statements.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Net income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $121,000 to $2,064,000, or $.35 diluted earnings per share from $2,185,000, or $.37 diluted earnings per share, for the comparable three-month period in 2006. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $564,000 to $3,932,000 or $.67 diluted earnings per share from $4,496,000, or $.76 diluted earnings per share, for the comparable six month period in 2006. The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily the result of a decrease in other income due mainly to a decrease in investment security gains, and an increase in other expense, which offset an improvement in net interest income.

Net interest income. Net interest income increased $128,000 to $5,607,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $5,479,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The interest income increased 11% over the comparable 2006 quarter but was substantially offset by an increase in interest expense of 22%. This was due to rates paid for deposits increasing at a faster rate than rates charged for loans. As a result, the Company’s net interest spread tightened to 2.58% from 2.76% in the prior year period and its net interest margin narrowed to 3.15% from 3.26%. Net interest income increased $102,000 to $10,989,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $10,887,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Despite the net interest income increase, the net interest spread narrowed to 2.54% from 2.79% for the comparable period in 2006 and the net interest margin dropped to 3.11% from 3.29%. The narrowing of the spread and margin reflect the current relatively flat yield curve environment in which short-term rates (off which we price our deposits) are the same as or slightly lower than long-term rates (off which we price our loans.)

 

Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $1,108,000 to $10,980,000 from $9,872,000 for the comparable three-month period in 2006. The average balance of interest earning assets increased $38.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, to $710.8 million from $672.1 million for the comparable period in 2006. The yield on these assets increased 30 basis points to 6.18%, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 5.88% for the comparable period in 2006. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $2,306,000 to $21,596,000 from $19,290,000 for the comparable six month period in 2006. This change was supported by a $43.3 million increase in the average balance of interest earning assets and a 30 basis point increase in the yield, which reached 6.12% from 5.82% for the comparable period in 2006. See “Average Balance Sheet and Rate/Volume Analysis”.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $979,000 to $5,372,000 from $4,393,000 for the comparable period in 2006. The change in interest expense was primarily attributed to the average cost of funds increasing 48 basis points to 3.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 3.12% for the comparable period in 2006, coupled with an increase of $34.1 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $597.0 million from $562.9 million for the comparable period in 2006. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $2,203,000 to $10,607,000 from $8,404,000 for the comparable period in 2006. This change was primarily the result of a 55 basis point increase in the average cost of funds to 3.58% from 3.03% for the comparable period in 2006 and a $38.0 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. See “Average Balance Sheet and Rate/Volume Analysis”.

Rate / Volume Analysis

 

The following table shows the effect of changes in volumes and rates on interest income and interest expense. The changes in interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in both volume and rate have been allocated to the changes due to rate. Tax exempt income was not recalculated on a tax equivalent basis due to the immateriality of the change to the table resulting from a recalculation.

Provision for loan losses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, $250,000 and $500,000 were taken as a provision for loan losses compared to $550,000 and $850,000 for the comparable periods in 2006. At June 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses equaled 1.07% of gross loans outstanding compared to .91% at June 30, 2006. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2007 were each .03% compared to .05% and .03% for the comparable periods in 2006.

 

12

 


The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level that represents management’s best estimate of the losses inherent in the portfolio, based on a monthly review by management of the following factors:

 

 

Historical experience

 

Volume

 

Type of lending conducted by the Bank

 

Industry standards

 

The level and status of past due and non-performing loans

 

The general economic conditions in the Bank’s lending area; and

 

Other factors affecting the collectability of the loans in the portfolio

 

Large groups of homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate loans and home equity and consumer loans are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors and other data. The amount of loss reserve is calculated using historical loss rates, net of recoveries on a five year rolling weighted average, adjusted for environmental, and other qualitative factors such as industry, geographical, economic and political factors that can effect loss rates or loss measurements. Watch and classified loans are allocated additional reserves.

 

Large balance and/or more complex loans such as multi-family and commercial real estate loans may be evaluated on an individual basis and are also evaluated in the aggregate to determine adequate reserves. As specific loans are determined to be impaired, specific reserves are assigned based upon collateral value, market value, if determinable, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows of the loan.

 

The allowance is increased by a provision for loan loss which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are 90 days past due, unless they are adequately collateralized and in the process of collection.

 

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of losses in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for losses will be adequate to cover losses which may be realized in the future and that additional provisions for losses will not be required.

 

Other income. Total other income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $189,000 to $1,670,000 from $1,859,000 for the comparable three month period in 2006. The decrease in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to a decrease in investment security gains of $325,000. This decrease was partially offset by increases in other income, debit card fees, trust fees, and service fees of $21,000, $31,000, $31,000, and $23,000, respectively. Total other income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $406,000 to $3,297,000 from $3,703,000 for the comparable six month period in 2006. This change was primarily due to a decrease in investment security gains of $578,000 offset by increases in debit card fees, service fees, and other income of $46,000, $37,000, and $37,000, respectively. Other income increased as a result of a gain realized from the sale of other real estate while income from service fees and debit card fees collected rose due to a growing deposit base and increased transactions from the comparable periods in 2006.

 

13

 


Other expense. Total other expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 increased $58,000 to $4,276,000 from $4,218,000 for the comparable three month period in 2006. Increases in pension and other employee benefits, salaries, and advertising costs of $114,000, $43,000, and $42,000, respectively, were offset by decreases in other expenses and data processing costs of $131,000 and $36,000, respectively. Total other expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 increased $392,000 to $8,647,000 from $8,255,000 for the comparable six month period in 2006. Increases, for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2007, in employee benefits are related to a rise in health care costs while advertising costs rose due to expenses related to the Company’s new logo and marketing campaign. The balances of the increases are due to normal increases in the cost of doing business. Other expenses decreased primarily due to a one time refund of approximately $53,000 of sales and use taxes paid in previous years and a $66,000 reduction in consulting fees, related to the Company’s strategic marketing initiative, from the comparable six month period in 2006. A decrease in data processing costs is attributed to a new contract the Company signed with its core data processor.

 

Provision for income taxes. Income taxes for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2007, increased $303,000 and $219,000, respectively to $687,000 and $1,208,000, respectively, from $384,000 and $989,000, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2006. The effective tax rate increased to 25.0% and 23.5%, respectively, for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to 15.0% and 18.0%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2006. The increase is primarily related to securities written down in December 2004 and sold in 2006. The gain realized in 2006 was not subject to federal taxation.

 

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

There were no significant changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 from the information presented in the 10K statement, under the caption Market Risk, for the year ended December 31, 2006.

In the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the President shall preside or, in his/her absence, any Officer designated by the Board of Directors. The Officer presiding over the shareholders’ meeting may establish such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting as he/she may deem to be reasonably necessary or desirable for the orderly and expeditious conduct of the meeting. Unless the Officer presiding over the shareholders’ meeting otherwise requires, shareholders need not vote by ballot on any question. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, by statute, or by these bylaws, in matters other than the election of directors, a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a lawful meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter, shall be sufficient to pass on a transaction or matter.

 

ARTICLE II. DIRECTORS AND BOARD MEETINGS.

 

Section 201. Management by Board of Directors. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute, regulation, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders.

 

Section 202. Nomination for Directors. Nominations for directors to be elected at an annual meeting of shareholders, except those made by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, must be submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation in writing not later than the close of business on the sixtieth (60th) day immediately preceding the date of the meeting. Such notification shall contain the following information to the extent known to the notifying shareholder: (a) name and address of each proposed nominee; (b) the principal occupation of each proposed nominee; (c) the total number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that will be voted for each proposed nominee; (d) the name and residence address of the notifying shareholder; and (e) the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation owned by the notifying shareholder.

Section 203. Directors Must be Shareholders. Every Director must be a shareholder of the Corporation and shall beneficially own at least five hundred (500) shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the time he/she becomes a director. If a Director does not have beneficial ownership of at least 5,000 shares of common stock at the time he/she is elected, all fees to be paid to the person for serving on the Board of Directors will be used to purchase additional shares of common stock for the Director until he/she obtains beneficial ownership of at least 5,000 shares of common stock. All persons must continue to beneficially own at least 5,000 shares of common stock while serving on the Board of Directors. If any Directors does not continue to beneficially own at least 5,000 shares of common stock, his/her ownership shall be reported by the Secretary, or other officer, to the Board of Directors. If the Director does not acquire common stock to restore his/her beneficial ownership to at least 5,000 shares of common stock within sixty (60) days of notice, he/she shall be removed from the Board of Directors. “Beneficial” ownership shall be interpreted as defined under the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Section 204. Eligibility and Mandatory Retirement. No person shall be eligible to be newly elected or appointed as a Director as he/she shall have attained the age of seventy (70) years on or prior to the date of his/her election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the mandatory retirement provisions of this section shall not apply retroactively to those Directors elected as Interim Directors at the first meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (with the exception of William D. Fawcett, Sr. and J. Curt Gardner), nor thereafter, should they desire to stand for reelection thereafter. Any Director of this Corporation, with the exception of the Interim Directors as specified above, who attains the age of seventy (70) years shall cease to be a Director (without any action on his/her part) at the close of business on the day prior to the date of the next shareholders’ meeting at which directors are to be elected regardless of whether or not his/her term as a Director would otherwise expire at such shareholders’ meeting. The Board of Directors may designate one or more persons who have retired from the Board as honorary members of the Board. Such honorary members may attend meetings of the Board but shall have no authority to vote or receive compensation.

 

Section 205. Number of Directors and Vacancies. The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall consist of nine members. Vacancies in the Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of Directors, may be filled by the remaining members of the Board even though less than a quorum. Any Director elected to fill a vacancy in the Board of Directors shall become a member of the same Class of Directors in which the vacancy existed; but if the vacancy is due to an increase in the number of Directors a majority of the members of the Board of Directors shall designate such directorship as belonging to Class 1, Class 2 or Class 3 so as to maintain the three (3) classes of Directors as nearly equal in number as possible.

A majority of the members of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If at the time fixed for the meeting, including the meeting to organize the new Board following the annual meeting of shareholders, a quorum is not present, the directors in attendance may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is obtained.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, a majority of those directors present and voting at any meeting of the Board of Directors, shall decide each matter considered. A director cannot vote by proxy, or otherwise act by proxy at a meeting of the Board of Directors.

Payment of such Severance Benefit Amount shall be made immediately upon the Termination Event. Except as provided at Article II, Section 2.2 upon a Participant’s termination from service as a Director of the Bank or the Company prior to a Termination Event, neither

 


the Company nor the Bank shall have no financial obligations to the Participant under the Plan.

 

2.2      Severance Benefit Amount. The Severance Benefit Amount shall be calculated as follows:

 

a.        The Severance Benefit Amount shall be equal to 299% of the annual average of the total Board retainers, meeting fees, committee fees and other cash compensation paid to a Director during the five completed calendar years ending on or immediately prior to the Termination Event as reported on IRS Form 1099 by the Bank and the Company.

2.3      No 280G Payments. Notwithstanding the forgoing, all sums payable hereunder shall be reduced in such manner and to such extent so that no such payments made hereunder when aggregated with all other payments to be made to the Participant by the Bank or the Company shall be deemed an “excess parachute payment” in accordance with Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations promulgated thereunder and subject the Participant to the excise tax provided at Section 4999(a) of the Code.

 

ARTICLE III

TRUST/NON-FUNDED STATUS OF PLAN

 

3.1      Trust/Non-Funded Status of Plan. Except as may be specifically provided, nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Bank and the Participant or any other person. Any funds which may be invested under the provisions of this Plan shall continue for all purposes to be a part of the general funds of the Bank. No person other than the Bank shall by virtue of the provisions of this Plan have any interest in such funds. The Bank shall not be under any obligation to use such funds solely to provide benefits hereunder, and no representations have been made to any Participant that such funds can or will be used only to provide benefits hereunder. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Bank under the Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Bank.

 


ARTICLE IV

VESTING

 

4.1      Vesting. Benefits under the Plan become payable upon the completion of at least 24 months of service as a Director. All benefits under this Plan are deemed unearned and forfeitable prior to a Termination Event. All benefits payable hereunder shall be deemed 100% earned and non-forfeitable by the Participant upon a Termination Event. No benefits shall be deemed payable hereunder for any period prior to the time that such benefits shall be deemed 100% earned and non-forfeitable.

 

ARTICLE V

TERMINATION

 

5.1      Termination. All the rights of a Participant shall terminate immediately upon the Participant ceasing to be in the active service of the Bank prior to a Termination Event. A leave of absence approved by the Board shall not constitute a cessation of service within the meaning of this Section 5.1.

 

ARTICLE VI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

6.1      Other Benefits. Nothing in this Plan shall diminish or impair a Participant’s eligibility, participation or benefit entitlement under any other benefit, insurance or compensation plan or agreement of the Bank now or hereinafter in effect.

 

6.2      No Effect on Employment or Service. This Plan shall not be deemed to give any Participant or other person in the employ or service of the Bank any right to be retained in the employment or service of the Bank, or to interfere with the right of the Bank to terminate any Participant or such other person at any time and to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him as a Participant in this Plan.

 

6.3      Legally Binding. The rights, privileges, benefits and obligations under this Plan are intended to be legal obligations of the Bank and binding upon the Bank, its successors and assigns.

 

6.4      Modification. The Bank, by action of the Board of Directors, reserves the exclusive right to amend, modify, or terminate this Plan. Any such termination, modification or amendment shall not terminate or diminish any rights or benefits accrued by any Participant prior thereto without regard to whether such rights or benefits shall be deemed vested as of such date. The Bank shall give thirty (30) days notice in writing to any Participant prior to the effective date of any amendment, modification or termination of this Plan.

 

6.5      Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Plan or the breach thereof shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial

 


Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, with such arbitration hearing to be held at the offices of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) nearest to the home office of the Bank, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Participant and the Bank, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

6.6      Limitation. No rights of any Participant are assignable by any Participant, in whole or in part, either by voluntary or involuntary act or by operation of law. The rights of a Participant hereunder are not subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Participant. Further, a Participant’s rights under the Plan are not subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any Participant. No Participant shall have any right under this Plan or right against any assets held or acquired pursuant thereto other than the rights of a general, unsecured creditor of the Bank pursuant to the unsecured promise of the Bank to pay the benefits accrued hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Plan. The Bank has no obligation under this Plan to fund or otherwise secure its obligations to render payments hereunder to a Participant. No Participant shall have any discretion in the use, disposition, or investment of any asset acquired or set aside by the Bank to provide benefits under this Plan.

 

6.7      ERISA and Code Disclaimer. It is intended that the Plan be neither an “employee welfare benefit plan” nor an “employee pension benefit plan” for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Further, it is intended that the Plan will not cause the interest of a Participant under the Plan to be includable in the gross income of such Participant prior to the actual receipt of a payment under the Plan for purposes of the Code.

 

 

6.8

Regulatory Matters.

 

(a)       The Participant shall have no right to receive compensation or other benefits in accordance with the Plan for any period after termination of service for Just Cause. Termination for “Just Cause” shall include termination because of the Participant’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order, or material breach of any provision of the Plan.

 

(b)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any payments made to a Participant pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 USC ‘1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

6.9      Incompetency. If the Bank shall find that any person to whom any payment is payable under the Plan is deemed unable to care for his personal affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due (unless a prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian, committee or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, or a brother or sister, or to any person

 


deemed by the Bank to have incurred expense for such person otherwise entitled to payment, in such manner and proportions as the Board may determine in its sole discretion. Any such payments shall constitute a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Bank under the Plan.

 

6.10    Construction. The Committee shall have full power and authority to interpret, construe and administer this Plan and the Committee’s interpretations and construction thereof, and actions thereunder, shall be binding and conclusive on all persons for all purposes. Directors of the Bank shall not be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of this Plan unless attributable to his own willful, gross misconduct or lack of good faith.

 

6.11    Plan Administration. The Board shall administer the Plan; provided, however, that the Board may appoint an administrative committee (i.e., the Committee) to provide administrative services or perform duties required by this Plan. The Committee shall have only the authority granted to it by the Board.

 

6.12    Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (“State”), except to the extent that federal law shall be deemed to apply.

 

6.13    Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding upon any successor or successors of the Bank, and unless clearly inapplicable, reference herein to the Bank shall be deemed to include any successor or successors of the Bank.

 

6.14    Sole Agreement. The Plan expresses, embodies, and supersedes all previous agreements, understandings, and commitments, whether written or oral, between the Bank and any Participants hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
