SECTION II
BENEFITS – GENERALLY
2.1
(a) Retirement Income Trust Fund and Accrued
Benefit Account . The Executive shall establish the
Michael Sanchez Grantor Trust into which the Bank shall be
required to make annual Contributions on the Executive’s
behalf, pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the
Agreement. A trustee shall be selected by the Executive.
The trustee shall maintain an account, separate and distinct
from the Executive’s personal contributions, which account
shall constitute the Retirement Income Trust Fund. The trustee
shall be charged with the responsibility of investing all
contributed funds. Distributions from the Retirement
Income Trust Fund of the Michael Sanchez Grantor Trust may be
made by the trustee to the Executive, for purposes of payment of
any income or employment taxes due and owing on Contributions by
the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, if any, and on any
taxable earnings associated with such Contributions which the
Executive shall be required to pay from year to year, under
applicable law, prior to actual receipt of any benefit payments
from the Retirement Income Trust Fund. If the
Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, the Bank’s obligation to make Contributions to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall cease and the Bank’s
obligation to record Phantom Contributions in the Accrued
Benefit Account shall immediately commence pursuant to Exhibit A
and this Section II of the Agreement. To the extent this
Agreement is inconsistent with the Michael Sanchez Grantor Trust
Agreement, the Michael Sanchez Grantor Trust Agreement shall
supersede this Agreement.
The annual Contributions (or Phantom
Contributions) required to be made by the Bank to the Retirement
Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank in the Accrued
Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are set
forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference. Contributions shall be made by the
Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five
(75) days of establishment of such trust, and (ii) within the
first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each subsequent Plan
Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise.
Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the
Accrued Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the
beginning of each applicable Plan Year, unless this Section
expressly provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions shall
accrue interest at a rate equal to the Interest Factor, during
the Payout Period, until the balance of the Accrued Benefit
Account has been fully distributed. Interest on any
Phantom Contribution shall not commence until such Payout Period
commences.
The Administrator shall review the schedule of
annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) provided for in
Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30) days prior to the close of each
Plan Year and (ii) if the
6
Executive is employed by the Bank until
attaining Benefit Age, on or immediately before attainment of
such Benefit Age. Such review shall consist of an
evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish
the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions).
Provided that (i) the Executive has not exercised his
withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the
investments contained in the Retirement Income Trust Fund have
been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the Administrator shall
prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of Contributions
provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine
during any such review that an increase in or
supplement to the schedule of Contributions is necessary
in order to adequately fund the Retirement Income Trust Fund so
as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the lump sum
equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the
Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis,
commencing at Benefit Age and payable for the duration of the
Payout Period.
(b) Withdrawal Rights Not Exercised.
(1) Contributions Made Annually
If the Executive does not exercise any
withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the annual
Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall continue
each year, unless this Subsection 2.1(b) specifically states
otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that
Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the
Plan Year of the Executive's termination of employment;
provided, however, that in no event shall the total
Contributions be less than an amount which is sufficient to
provide the Executive with after-tax benefits (assuming a
constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of
Executive’s termination) beginning at his Benefit Age,
equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to
the Executive if no secular trust had been implemented and the
benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as
amended by FAS 106.
(2) Termination Following a Change in Control
If the Executive does not exercise his
withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and a Change in
Control occurs at the Bank, followed within thirty-six (36)
months by either (i) the Executive's involuntary termination of
employment, or (ii) Executive's voluntary termination of
employment after: (A) a material change in the Executive's
function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause
the Executive's position to become one of lesser responsibility,
importance, or scope from the position the Executive held at the
time of the Change in Control, (B) a relocation of the
Executive's principal place of employment by more than thirty
(30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the
Executive from those being provided at the time of the Change in
Control, the Contribution set forth on Schedule A shall continue
to be required of the Bank. The Bank shall be
required to make an immediate lump sum contribution to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund equal to (i) the full Contribution
required for the Plan Year in which such termination occurs, if
not yet made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a
discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining
Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund; provided,
however, in no event shall the Contribution be less than an
amount which is sufficient to provide the Executive with
after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the
rate in effect as of the date of Executive’s termination)
beginning at his Benefit Age, equal in amount to that benefit
which would have been payable to the Executive if no secular
trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been
accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106.
7
(3) Termination For Cause
If the Executive does not exercise his
withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and is terminated
for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no further Contribution(s)
to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the
Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for
the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs.
(4) Involuntary Termination of Employment
.
If the Executive does not exercise his
withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the
Executive's employment with the Bank is involuntarily terminated
for any reason, including a termination due to disability of the
Executive but excluding termination for Cause, or termination
following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of
such Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such
involuntary termination of employment, the Bank shall be
required to make an immediate lump sum Contribution to the
Executive’s Retirement Income Trust Fund in an amount
equal to the: (i) the full Contribution required for the Plan
Year in which such involuntary termination occurs, if not yet
made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a
discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining
Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund; provided
however, that, if necessary, an amount shall be contributed to
the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide
the Executive with after tax benefits (assuming a constant tax
rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of the
Executive’s termination) beginning at his Benefit Age,
equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to
the Executive if no secular trust had been implemented and the
benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as
amended by FAS106.
(5) Death During Employment .
If the Executive does not exercise any
withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies
while employed by the Bank, and if, following the
Executive’s death, the assets of the Retirement Income
Trust Fund are insufficient to provide the Supplemental
Retirement Income Benefit to which the Executive is entitled,
the Bank shall be required to make a Contribution to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund that, when annuitized (using the
Interest Factor) is sufficient to provide a death benefit to the
Executive’s beneficiaries equal to the Supplemental
Retirement Income Benefit reduced by the annuitized value (using
the Interest Factor) of any proceeds received under any life
insurance policies that may have been obtained on
Executive’s life by the Retirement Income Trust Fund;
provided, however, that such Contribution shall not be in excess
of the sum of the remaining Contributions set forth in Exhibit
A. Such final contribution shall be payable in a
lump sum to the Retirement Income Trust Fund within thirty (30)
days of the Executive’s death.
(6) Voluntary Termination of
Employment
If the Executive does not exercise his
withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and voluntarily
terminates his employment for any reason excluding disability or
following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of
such Change in Control, no further Contribution(s) to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank and,
if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan
Year in which such voluntary termination occurs; provided
however, that, if necessary, an amount shall be contributed to
the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide
the Executive with after tax benefits (assuming a constant tax
rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of the
Executive’s termination) beginning at his Benefit Age,
equal in amount to that
8
benefit which would have been payable to the
Executive if no secular trust had been implemented and the
benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as
amended by FAS 106.
(c) Withdrawal Rights Exercised.
(1) Phantom Contributions Made
Annually .
If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights
pursuant to Subsection 2.2, no further Contributions to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank.
Thereafter, Phantom Contributions shall be recorded
annually in the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account within
thirty (30) days of the beginning of each Plan Year, commencing
with the first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the
Executive exercises his withdrawal rights. Such Phantom
Contributions shall continue to be recorded annually, unless
this Subsection 2.1(c) specifically states otherwise, until the
earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Phantom Contributions are
required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the
Executive's termination of employment.
(2) Termination Following a Change in
Control
If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights
pursuant to Subsection 2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence
in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Executive
first exercises his withdrawal rights. If a Change in
Control occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36) months of
such Change in Control, the Executive's employment is either (i)
involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the
Executive after: (A) a material change in the Executive's
function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause
the Executive's position to become one of lesser responsibility,
importance, or scope from the position the Executive held at the
time of the Change in Control, (B) a relocation of the
Executive's principal place of employment by more than thirty
(30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or
(C) a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the
Executive from those being provided at the time of the Change in
Control, the Phantom Contribution set forth below shall be
required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to record a
lump sum Phantom Contribution in the Accrued Benefit Account
within ten (10) days of the Executive’s termination of
employment. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution
shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom
Contribution required, at such time, in order to provide a
benefit via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental
Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing on
the Executive’s Benefit Eligibility Date and continuing
for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial
determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be
payable from both the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the
Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount
and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Executive from the
Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
(3) Termination For Cause
If the Executive is terminated for Cause
pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the entire balance of the
Executive’s Accrued Benefit Account at the time of such
termination, which shall include any Phantom Contributions which
have been recorded plus interest accrued on such Phantom
Contributions, shall be forfeited.
9
(4) Involuntary Termination of Employment
.
If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights
pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the Executive's employment with
the Bank is involuntarily terminated for any reason including
termination due to disability of the Executive, but excluding
termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in
Control, within thirty (30) days of such involuntary termination
of employment, the Bank shall be required to record a final
Phantom Contribution in an amount equal to: (i) the full Phantom
Contribution required for the Plan Year in which such
involuntary termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii) the
present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the
Interest Factor) of all remaining Phantom Contributions.
(5) Death During Employment .
If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights
pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the
Bank, Phantom Contributions included on Exhibit A shall be
required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions shall
commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the
Executive exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue
through the Plan Year in which the Executive dies. The
Bank shall also be required to record a final Phantom
Contribution within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s
death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall
be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution
required at such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit
via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement
Income Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days of the date
the Administrator receives notice of the Executive’s death
and continuing for the duration of the Payout Period.
(Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact that
amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit Account as
well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund, shall be reduced by
the annuitized value (using the Interest Factor) of any proceeds
received under any life insurance policies that may have been
obtained on the Executives’ life by the Retirement Income
Trust Fund, and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any
withdrawal(s) made by the Executive pursuant to Subsection
2.2.)
(6) Voluntary Termination of
Employment
If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights
pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and thereafter voluntarily
terminates his employment for any reason excluding death,
disability, or following a Change in Control, no further Phantom
Contributions to the Accrued Benefit Account shall be required
of the Bank and, if not yet made, no Phantom Contribution shall
be required for the Plan Year in which such voluntary
termination occurs.
2.2
Withdrawals From Retirement Income Trust
Fund.
Exercise of withdrawal rights by the Executive
pursuant to the Michael Sanchez Grantor Trust agreement shall
terminate the Bank's obligation to make any further
Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and the
Bank’s obligation to record Phantom Contributions pursuant
to Subsection 2.1(c) shall commence. For purposes of this
Subsection 2.2, “exercise of withdrawal rights”
shall mean those withdrawal rights to which the Executive is
entitled under Article III of the Michael Sanchez Grantor Trust
agreement and shall exclude any distributions made by the
trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund to the Executive for
purposes of payment of income taxes in accordance with
Subsection 2.1 of this Agreement and the tax reimbursement
formula contained in the trust document, or other trust expenses
properly payable from the Michael Sanchez Grantor Trust pursuant
to the provisions of the trust document.
10
2.3
Benefits Payable From Retirement Income Trust
Fund
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in
this Agreement, in the event that the trustee of the Retirement
Income Trust Fund purchases a life insurance policy with the
Contributions to and, if applicable, earnings of the Trust, and
such life insurance policy is intended to continue in force
beyond the Payout Period for the disability or retirement
benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant
to this Agreement, then the trustee shall have discretion to
determine the portion of the cash value of such policy available
for purposes of annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund (it
being understood that for purposes of this Section 2.3,
“annuitizing” does not mean surrender of such policy
and annuitizing of the cash value received upon such surrender)
to provide the disability or retirement benefits payable under
this Agreement, after taking into consideration the amounts
reasonably believed to be required in order to maintain the cash
value of such policy to continue such policy in effect until the
death of the Executive and payment of death benefits
thereunder.
SECTION III
RETIREMENT BENEFIT
3.1
(a) Normal form of payment .
If (i) the Executive is employed with the Bank
until reaching his Benefit Age, and (ii) the Executive has not
made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this
Subsection 3.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to
retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of
the Executive's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the
Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable
for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall
commence on the Executive's Benefit Eligibility Date.
Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a
rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized,
which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in
order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any
shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return.
Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a
rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized,
which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the
Executive (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess
amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of
return. The Executive may at anytime during the Payout
Period request to receive the unpaid balance of his Retirement
Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If such a lump
sum payment is requested by the Executive, payment of the
balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum
form shall be made only if the Executive gives notice to both
the Administrator and trustee in writing. Such lump sum
payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice.
In the event the Executive dies at any time after
attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or
completion of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i)
the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the
Executive's Beneficiary the monthly installments (or a
continuation of such monthly installments if they have already
commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout
Period, or (ii) the Executive's Beneficiary may request to
receive the unpaid balance of the Executive's Retirement Income
Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is
requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the
Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made
only if the Executive's Beneficiary notifies both the
Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within
11
ninety (90) days of the Executive's death.
Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30)
days of such notice.
The Executive’s Accrued Benefit Account
(if applicable), measured as of the Executive’s Benefit
Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into
