AGREEMENT
As Amended and
Restated
THIS DIRECTOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) made this 31st day of
December, 2008, (“Effective Date”) by and between
Roebling Bank (the “Company”), a corporation organized
under the laws of the United States of America and John J. Ferry
(the “Director”).
WHEREAS , the Agreement was previously entered into as
of March 6, 2006.
WHEREAS , certain revisions to the Agreement are
necessary in order to conform such Agreement 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
December 31, 2008.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED that the
Agreement shall be revised, amended and restated in its entirety,
effective as of December 31, 2008, as follows:
WITNESSETH THAT:
In consideration of the agreements
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The
Company agrees to permit the Director to serve as a member of its
Board of Directors, and the Director agrees to serve the Company in
such capacity as the Company may designate from time to time, until
terminated by either party at any time or for any
reason.
2. During
the term of his/her service as director, the Director shall devote
his/her time, attention, skill, and efforts to the performance of
his/her duties for the Company.
3. The
Company shall pay the Director during the term of his/her service
as a director hereunder, any fees payable to the Director for
service as a director (as the Company may from time to time
determine) together with deferred compensation (payable as provided
in paragraph 5 below), unless such amounts are forfeited pursuant
to paragraph 7 below.
|
|
4.
|
(a) The
Company shall credit to a book reserve (the “Deferred
Compensation Account”) established for this purpose, an
amount (“Deferred Compensation”) as specified on a form
(“Deferral Election Form”) provided to the Director by
the Company for such purposes. Such Deferral Election Form must be
completed by the Director and returned to the Company prior to the
first day of any calendar year to which such Deferral Election Form
relates in order to be effective.
|
(b) The
Deferred Compensation Account will be credited with investment
earnings based upon the prime rate as published in the Wall Street
Journal Eastern edition plus 1% (“Earnings Rate”). The
interest rate is adjusted daily. The Company may revise this
applicable Earnings Rate or the index utilized for calculating
investment earnings at any time within its sole discretion.
Alternatively, at the written direction of the Director and
approved by the
Company, any such amounts credited on the books
of the Company to the Deferred Compensation Account of a
Participant may be invested under a related Trust in the Common
Stock of Roebling Financial Corp, Inc. (“Parent”)
(“Common Stock”). Amounts associated with dividends
paid on the Common Stock will be credited to such Deferred
Compensation Account. Such dividend income will be invested
following the next date that additional Deferred Compensation is
credited to any Deferred Compensation Account. Further, upon the
written direction of the Director and the approval of the Company,
such Deferred Compensation Account may be invested in a Flexible
Premium Adjustable Life Policy, with a life insurance benefit
payable to the beneficiary designated by the Director in the event
of the Director’s death, and the value of such Deferred
Compensation Account shall be measured based upon the cash
surrender value as may be adjusted from time to time for the
applicable Flexible Premium Adjustable Life Policy investment held
by the Company with respect to the Participant. If such applicable
policy is terminated, then the Deferred Compensation Account
thereafter shall be credited with investment earnings based upon
the Earnings Rate. Upon a distribution of the Deferred Compensation
Account related to the Premium Adjustable Life Policy investment,
the Company will withdraw an equal amount from the cash value of
the life insurance policy. Upon the distribution of all of the
benefits to the Executive or his or her beneficiaries under this
Agreement, the Company will notify the Executive that it intends to
terminate any related life insurance policies owned by the Company
related to administration of the Agreement, unless the Executive
shall take the necessary actions to acquire ownership of such
insurance policies from the Company in accordance with written
agreements between the Company and the Executive.
(c) The
Director agrees on behalf of himself/herself and the designated
beneficiary to assume all risk in connection with any fluctuation
in value of any Deferred Compensation Accounts and related
investment return applicable to such Deferred Compensation
Account.
(d) Title
to and beneficial ownership of any assets of the Company, whether
cash or investments which the Company may earmark to pay the
Deferred Compensation hereunder including any Parent Common Stock
or life insurance policies and related cash value accounts, shall
at all times remain the property of the Company; and the Director
and his/her designated beneficiary shall not have any property
interest whatsoever in any specific assets of the
Company.
(e) The
Company shall notify the Directors not less than once per calendar
year as to the status of the Deferred Compensation Account,
including the number of shares of Common Stock previously credited
to such account and any cash or account earnings awaiting
investment in Common Stock, or other investments attributable to
such Deferred Compensation Account.
(f) Hardship.
If an Unforeseeable Emergency (as defined below) occurs, the
Director, by written instructions to the Company, may reduce future
deferrals under this Agreement; provided, however, no such
reduction in future deferrals shall be made to the extent that such
action would be inconsistent with the
requirements for such a determination under
Section 409A of the Code and regulations and other guidance issued
thereunder.
Unforeseeable Emergency means a severe financial
hardship to the Director resulting from an illness or accident of
the Director, the Director’s spouse, the Director’s
beneficiary, or the Director’s dependent (as defined in
Section 152(a) of the Code), loss of the Director’s property
due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable
circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of
the Director.

unless they are forfeited pursuant to paragraph 7 below, are as
follows:
|
(a) If
the Director’s service as a director hereunder is terminated
on or after he/she attains the age of seventy (70), the Company
shall pay to the Director an amount equal to the value of the
Director’s Deferred Compensation Account as of the date of
such termination of service in the form elected by the Director on
the Election Form. Such distributions shall commence within 60 days
of such termination of service. Alternatively, to the extent that
deferrals under the Plan and related Trust, if applicable, are
invested at the direction of the Director in Company Common Stock,
then such shares shall be distributed in the form of Common Stock
as elected by the Director on the Election Form. The Common Stock
to be distributed under the Agreement may constitute either
restricted securities or non-restricted securities within the
meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may enter into an
endorsement or assignment agreement with the Director applicable to
any Flexible Premium Adjustable Life Policy related to investment
of the Deferred Compensation Account.
(b) If
the Director’s service as a director hereunder is terminated
for any reason other than death, Disability or Change in Control,
but before the age set forth in paragraph 5(a) above, then the
value of the Deferred Compensation Account: (i) shall be paid to
the Director in the same manner as set forth in paragraph 5(a)
above, and (ii) shall continue to be invested or held in cash as
the Company in its discretion may determine, and no payments shall
be made until the age set forth in paragraph 5(a) above. Such
distributions shall commence within 60 days of attainment of such
age.
(c) If
the Director’s service as a director is terminated because of
death or Disability, but before reaching the age set forth in
paragraph 5(a) above, while the Director is performing services for
the Company, then the Company shall make payments under Section
5(a) to the Director following termination of service as a result
of such death or Disability. Such distributions shall commence
within 60 days of such death or Disability.
(d) Change
in Control. Upon a Change in Control, the Director shall receive a
lump-sum distribution of his or her Deferred Compensation Account.
Such payment shall be made no later than the date of the Change in
Control
(e) The
Director’s designated beneficiary referred to in this
paragraph 5 may be designated or changed by the Director, without
the consent of any prior designated beneficiary, on a form provided
to the Director by the Company and delivered to the Company before
the Director’s death. If no such beneficiary shall have been
designated or if no designated beneficiary shall survive the
Director, the benefit payments payable shall be payable to the
Director’s estate.
(f) The
Director shall be deemed to have become disabled for purposes of
paragraph 5(c) above, if (A) the Director is unable to engage in
any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to
result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period
of not less than 12 months; or (B) the Director is, by reason of
any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can
be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income
replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months
under an accident and health plan covering employees of the
Company.
(g) The
payment(s) to be made to the Director under paragraphs 5(a) and
5(c) above, shall be made on the first day of the month following
the date of the Director’s termination of service as a
director, and the payment to be made to the Director under
paragraph 5(b) above, shall be made on the first day of the month
next following the age set forth in paragraph 5(a) above. The
payment to be made to the Director’s designated beneficiary
under the provisions of this paragraph 5 shall commence on a date
to be selected by the Company but within seventy days from the date
of death of the Director.
(h) Hardship
Distribution. Upon the Board of Director’s determination
(following petition by the Director) that the Director has suffered
an Unforeseeable Emergency as described in Section 4(f), the
Company shall distribute to the Director all or a portion of the
Deferred Compensation Account balance as determined by the Company,
but in no event shall the distribution be greater than (i) the
extent deemed necessary by the Board to remedy the Unforeseeable
Emergency, plus an amount necessary to pay taxes reasonably
anticipated as a result of the distribution; and (ii) after taking
into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be
relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or
otherwise or by liquidation of the Director’s assets (to the
extent the liquidation would not itself cause severe financial
hardship);
provided, however, no such distribution shall be
made to the extent that such action would be inconsistent with the
requirements for such a determination under Section 409A of the
Code and regulations and other guidance issued
thereunder.
