Section
1--Purpose
|
|
|
|
Stock Yards Bank and Trust
Company (the "Company") adopts the Plan set forth herein as a 2006
amendment and restatement of a plan previously in effect on an
Adoption Agreement and related "Director Nonqualified Excess
Benefit Plan Document" dated March 1, 2004 (the "2004 Plan"), to
provide a means by which Directors of the Company and its parent,
SYB Bancorp, Inc. ("Directors") may elect to defer receipt and
income taxation of current fees for service as Directors.
|
|
|
|
The Plan is intended to be a
nonqualified deferred compensation plan that complies with the
provisions of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code").
|
|
|
|
In light of proposed
regulations and other guidance recently issued by the Internal
Revenue Service under Code Section 409A, the Company now desires to
amend and restate the Plan in its entirety, to bring the Plan into
compliance with such guidance and to make minor clarifying changes,
effective as of January 1, 2005 except as otherwise provided
herein. Any individual who was a Participant with an Account in the
2004 Plan immediately prior to the effective date of this
restatement shall continue to be a Participant in the Plan on and
after such effective date.
|
|
|
|
Account balances accumulated
prior to December 31, 2004, along with all interest credited
thereto, were separately accounted for under this Plan. Effective
upon the adoption of this 2006 Amended and Restated Plan, the
provisions set forth herein shall control all Account balances
regardless of when such funds were accumulated.

Section
5--Distribution Events and Forms
|
|
|
|
5.1
Termination of Service.
If the Participant terminates service with the Company, the vested
balance in the Account shall be paid to the Participant by the
Company in a lump sum or in annual installments over no more than
10 years, as elected by the Participant at the later of (i) entry
into this Plan, or (ii) before December 31, 2006, in accordance
with Section 6.4. Distribution shall begin or be made within 60
days after Termination of Service, except that, no distribution
shall be made earlier than six months after the Termination of
Service with respect to a Specified Participant. Any payments to
which a Specified Participant would be entitled during the first
six months following Termination of Service shall be accumulated
and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the date
of Termination of Service.
|
|
|
|
5.2
Death. If the
Participant dies before incurring a Termination of Service, the
Company shall pay a benefit to the Participant's Beneficiary in
either a lump sum with 60 days following that event, or in annual
installments over no more than 10 years, as elected by the
Participant at the later of (i) entry into this Plan, or (ii)
before December 31, 2006, in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. If
a Participant dies following his Termination of Service, and before
all payments under the Plan have been made, the balance remaining
in the Account shall continue to be paid by the Company to the
Participant's Beneficiary in the same time and manner in effect
prior to his death.
|
|
|
|
5.3
In-Service
Distributions. A Participant may designate in the Election Form
during any Annual Enrollment Period to have a specified amount or
percentage of the Participant's future Deferral Credit added to an
In-Service Account for in-service distribution. The time and manner
of the in-service distribution shall be specified by the
Participant in the Election Form, as between a lump sum at a
designated date or annual installments over not more than 6 years
beginning at a designated date, provided that, the date so
designated is no less than 3 years later than the Deferral Plan
Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant incurs a
Termination of Service or dies prior to the date on which the
entire balance in the In-Service Account has been distributed, then
the balance in the In-Service Account shall be distributed to the
Participant in the same manner and at the same time as the
remaining balance in the Account is distributed under Section 5.1
or 5.2.
|
|
|
|
5.4
Unforeseeable
Emergency.
If a Participant experiences an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency,
the Participant may petition the Committee to receive a partial or
full distribution of the Participant's Account from the Plan. The
petition shall be accompanied by such documentation in support of
the existence of an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency as the
Committee shall require. The distribution shall not exceed the
lesser of (i) the Participant's Account; and (ii) the amount
necessary to satisfy the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, plus
any amount necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a
result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to
which the hardship resulting from the Unforeseeable Financial
Emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or
compensation by insurance or otherwise by liquidation of the
Participant's assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets
would not itself cause severe financial hardship). If the Committee
in its sole discretion and in accordance with the Code approves the
petition for a distribution, the distribution shall be made within
60 days after the date of approval. A distribution due to
Unforeseeable Emergency shall not affect any Deferral election
previously made by the Participant. If a Participant's Termination
of Service occurs after a request is approved in accordance with
this Section 5.4, but prior to distribution of the full amount
approved, the approval of the request shall be automatically null
and void and the benefits which the Participant is entitled to
receive under the Plan shall be distributed in accordance with
Section 5.1 or 5.2.

|
|
|
Section
6--Election of Payment Options
|
|
|
|
6.1
Making Payment
Elections. In the Participant's first Election Form (or, if
later, in a special payment form election in 2006 in accordance
with Section 6.4), the Participant shall elect the method under
which the vested balance in the Account will be paid in the events
of death or Termination of Service for other reasons. Absent a
timely election, all payments hereunder will be in a lump sum,
within 60 days after the payment triggering event (or after a 6
month delay, if to a Specified Participant). In all cases, the
portion of a Participant's Account deemed invested in Company Stock
(if any) shall be distributed in such stock in kind, and all other
amounts due hereunder shall be paid in cash.
|
|
|
|
6.2
Payment Dates. A
payment shall be treated as made on the date specified for purposes
of Section 409A of the Code, if it is made on such date or a later
date within the same calendar year or, if later, by the 15th day of
the third calendar month following the date specified.
|
|
|
|
6.3
Installments; Minimum
Payments. If the Participant elects an installment payment
option, the payment of each annual installment shall be made on the
anniversary of the date of the first installment payment, and the
amount of the annual installment shall be adjusted on such
anniversary for credits or debits to the Participant's Account.
Such adjustment shall be made by dividing the balance in the
Account on such date by the number of annual installments remaining
to be paid hereunder; provided that the last annual installment due
under the Plan shall be the entire amount credited to the
Participant's Account on the date of payment. Notwithstanding any
such election (other than with respect to an In-Service Account
paid prior to Termination of Service), if under the Participant's
selected installment option annual payments would be less than
$2,500 each, the Participant will receive annual installments equal
to the greater of $2,500 and the remainder of his Account. Provided
further, however, that a Participant with an Account of $10,000 or
less at a Retirement or death that occurs on or after January 1,
2007, will be paid his benefit in a single lump sum regardless of
any previous written election.
|
|
|
|
6.4
Special 2006 Payment Form
Election . Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the
contrary, any Participant who has an Account in the Plan when this
2006 Amended and Restated Plan is adopted, and who does not
otherwise become entitled to a payment under this Plan during 2006
(without regard to the special election in this Section), shall
have an opportunity to make a new election to receive any benefits
to which the Participant may become entitled in 2007 and thereafter
in any of the payment forms described in Section 5. Such election
must be made, in the form prescribed by the Committee, on or before
December 31, 2006 and shall apply to the Participant's entire
Account under the Plan, including any amounts accrued under the
2004 Plan. No election made under this Section 6.4 shall be given
if effect if the Participant is entitled to any benefit payments on
or before December 31, 2006, but any such election otherwise shall
be considered irrevocable as of December 31, 2006. To the extent
that any existing Participant fails to elect a payment form in
accordance with the special election provisions of this 2006
Amended and Restated Plan on or before December 31, 2006, the
benefits paid thereafter shall be paid only after Termination of
Service, and then in a single lump sum.
|
|
|
|
6.5
Payments in 2005 and 2006.
Any Participant who becomes entitled to a payment of benefits in
2005 or 2006 under the terms of the Plan as in effect prior to this
2006 Amended and Restated Plan's adoption, shall have the timing
and form of such distribution governed by the terms of the 2004
Plan without regard to or exercise of any discretion therein to
change such timing or form from that elected in 2004 (or upon entry
into the Plan, if later).
|
|
|
|
6.6
Changes in Payment Form
Elections. A Participant may delay an In-Service Account
payment, or change the method of payment from a lump sum to
installments (or vice versa) at death, subject to the following
requirements:
|
|
|
|
|
6.6.1 The
new election may not take effect until at least 12 months after the
date on which the new election is made.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6.6.2 If
the new election relates to a payment other than on account of the
death of the Participant or an Unforeseeable Emergency, the new
election must provide for the deferral of the payment for a period
of at least five years from the date such payment would otherwise
have been made, or in the case of installments, from the date the
payments would otherwise have started.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6.6.3 If
the new election relates to a payment from the In-Service Account,
the new election must be made at least 12 months prior to the date
of the first scheduled payment from such account.
|
|
|
|
6.7
Acceleration
Prohibited. The acceleration of the time or schedule of any
payment due under the Plan is prohibited except as provided in
regulations and administrative guidance promulgated under Section
409A of the Code. It is not an acceleration of the time or schedule
of payment if the Company waives or accelerates the vesting
requirements applicable to a benefit under the Plan.
|
|
|
|
6.8
Payments Delayed by Company
in Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, any payment due to a Participant or Beneficiary on a
date specified under Section 5 shall be delayed as follows: (i) if
the Committee reasonably anticipates that an Company's deduction
with respect to the payment otherwise would be reduced or
eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m), the payment shall
not be made until the earliest date on which the Committee
reasonably anticipates that the Company's deduction will not be
reduced or eliminated by application of Section 162(m); (
