RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Assignors previously assigned to the Assignee certain
interests in the Policy as security for certain liabilities of the
Assignors to the Assignee in connection with a split-dollar
arrangement regarding the Policy in accordance with Rev. Rul.
64-328, 1964 C.B. 11, pursuant to a Split-Dollar Collateral
Assignment dated June 22, 1994 (the “Prior
Assignment”);
WHEREAS, concurrently with the Prior Assignment, the Assignors and
the Assignee entered into a Split-Dollar Agreement dated June 22,
1994 (the “Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Section 7 of the Agreement permits either party, with the
consent of the other party, to terminate the Agreement by giving
written notice of termination to the other party;
WHEREAS, upon any termination of the Agreement, the Assignors have
the right to purchase the policy from the Assignee and to
thereafter obtain the cash surrender value of the policy;
WHEREAS, as a result of the Assignors’ right to obtain the
cash surrender value of the policy upon a termination of the
Agreement, the Agreement does not satisfy the exemption for death
benefit only plans under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);
WHEREAS, the parties are concurrently amending the Agreement in
order to grandfather the Agreement for purposes of Section 409A of
the Code (the “Amendment”), with the amount of the
grandfathered cash surrender value to be determined in accordance
with the “proportional allocation method” set forth in
Notice 2007-34 issued by the Internal Revenue Service (the
“IRS”);
WHEREAS, the Agreement is currently deemed to be grandfathered
under Treasury Regulation §1.61-22, which grandfathering
treatment under the split dollar regulations would normally be lost
in the event of a material modification of the Agreement;
WHEREAS, Part III.D.2 of IRS Notice 2007-34 expressly states that a
modification of a split-dollar life insurance arrangement necessary
to avoid the application of Section 409A of the Code will not be
treated as a material modification of the arrangement for purposes
of Treasury Regulation §1.61-22(j);
WHEREAS, the Amendment to the Agreement satisfies the requirements
in Part III.D.2 of IRS Notice 2007-34 for having the Agreement no
longer be subject to Section 409A of the Code, and the Amendment
does not materially enhance the value of the benefits to the
Director under the Agreement;
WHEREAS, Section 10 of the Agreement permits the parties to amend
the Agreement by a written instrument signed by each of the parties
and attached to the Agreement;
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend and restate the Prior
Assignment in order to make similar changes to have the Collateral
Assignment be grandfathered for purposes of Section 409A of the
Code;
WHEREAS, the parties do not expect or intend to make any material
modifications to the Collateral Assignment which would result in
the grandfathering treatment being lost under either Treasury
Regulation §1.61-22 or Section 409A of the Code; and
WHEREAS, the Assignee, by accepting this Agreement, agrees to the
terms and conditions hereof;
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein set
forth and such other consideration the sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby amend and restate the Prior
Assignment to read in its entirety as follows:
ASSIGNMENT
1. For
value received, the Assignors hereby assign, transfer and set over
to the Assignee, and the Assignee’s successors and assigns,

liens, if any, which the Insurer may have against the Policy.
2. It
is expressly agreed that the following specific rights are included
in this Assignment and pass by virtue hereof:
(a) The
sole right to surrender the Policy at any time provided by the

allow, and to
