DIRECTORS’ RETIREMENT PLAN
ARTICLE I
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE
PLAN
Alliance Mutual Holding Company, a
federally-chartered mutual holding company (the “MHC”)
which is the successor to Greater Delaware Valley Holdings
(“GDVH”), hereby amends and restates the
Directors’ Retirement Plan (as amended and restated, the
“Plan”) previously adopted for the benefit of the
Directors of Greater Delaware Valley Savings Bank (the
“Bank”), upon the terms and conditions hereinafter
stated. The Plan was originally adopted by GDVH, which
was previously the mutual holding company of the
Bank. Following the establishment of a mid-tier stock
holding company, the Bank is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of
Alliance Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania, a mid-tier holding company
of the Bank (the “Company”), which is a majority-owned
subsidiary of the MHC.
ARTICLE II
PURPOSE OF THE
PLAN
The purpose of this Plan is to
provide retirement benefits to directors of the MHC, the Company
and the Bank who are not officers or employees of the MHC, the
Company or the Bank and who have provided expertise in enabling the
Bank to experience successful growth and
development. The Plan is being amended and restated
effective as of December 17, 2008 in order to comply with Section
409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), and the final regulations issued
thereunder.
ARTICLE III
DEFINITIONS
3.01 “Accrued
Benefit” means the number of months served as a Director of
the MHC, the Company and/or the Bank multiplied by
$150. For the purposes of determining a Director’s
Accrued Benefit, months of service prior to the adoption of this
Plan shall be recognized. Service as a Director of more
than one of the MHC, the Company and the Bank in a given month
shall only count once in calculating the number of months
served. If a Director was previously an officer or
employee of the MHC, the Company and/or the Bank, any months of
service on the Board of Directors during the period he was an
officer or employee of the MHC, the Company and/or the Bank shall
be disregarded in determining the Director’s Accrued
Benefit.
3.02 “Retirement
Benefit” means either (i) in the event the Board decides to
fund the Plan by establishing a trust in accordance with Section
7.01 of the Plan, an amount equal to the value of the assets
acquired with a Director’s Accrued Benefit as reflected in a
Director’s account balance under such a trust as of a
Director’s Retirement Date; or (ii) in the event the Board
decides not to fund the Plan through a trust in accordance
with Section 7.01 of the Plan, an amount equal to a
Director’s Accrued Benefit multiplied by an assumed rate of
return of six percent (6%) per annum commencing with the adoption
of this Plan and ending on a Director’s Retirement
Date.
3.03 “Board”
means the Board of Directors of the MHC.
3.04 “Committee”
means the committee appointed by the Board pursuant to Article IV
hereof.
3.05 “Common
Stock” means the common stock, $.01 par value per share, of
the Company, including those shares which were formerly shares of
common stock of the Bank prior to the establishment of a mid-tier
stock holding company.
3.06 “Director”
means each of the following: (a) each non-employee
member of the Board of Directors of the Bank at the date this Plan
was originally adopted by the Board of Directors of the MHC, who
was not at the time an officer or employee of the Bank or the MHC,
(b) each other individual who subsequently became a non-employee
member of the Board of Directors of the Bank prior to the amendment
and restatement of the Plan, who was not at the time an officer or
employee of the Bank, the MHC or the Company, and (c) any other
individual who subsequently becomes a non-employee member of the
Board of Directors of the MHC, the Company and/or the Bank after
the amendment and restatement of the Plan, who is not at the time
an officer or employee of the Bank, the MHC or the
Company. If a member of the Board of Directors of the
MHC, the Company and/or the Bank is initially an officer or
employee of the MHC, the Company and/or the Bank, and such member
ceases to be an officer or employee of the MHC, the Company and/or
the Bank but continues as a member of the Board of Directors, then
such member shall be deemed to be a non-employee member of the
Board of Directors and thus a Director eligible to participate in
this Plan commencing with the first month after he ceases to be an
officer or employee of the MHC, the Company and/or the
Bank. Appendix A attached hereto lists those Directors
who are the current participants under the Plan.
