Full Benefit. If Executive does not experience a Separation from Service (except for such breaks in service prescribed by law, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act, or as otherwise agreed in writing expressly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Bank (for a period not to exceed six (6) months)) (as herein defined) until the ‘Full Benefit Date’ (as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto), then upon the Payment Commencement Date (as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto), the Bank shall pay to Executive the Full Benefit (as defined in Exhibit A attached hereto) annually for twenty (20) years, payable in monthly installments beginning on the first business day of the first calendar month after the Payment Commencement Date and on the first business day of each month thereafter until (but including) the twentieth (20th) anniversary of the Payment Commencement Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase ‘Separation from Service’ shall be deemed to occur only if either (i) Executive has ceased to perform any services for the Bank and all affiliated companies that, together with the Bank, constitute the ‘service recipient’ within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (‘Code’) and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the ‘Service Recipient’) or (ii) the level of bona fide services Executive performs for the Service Recipient after a given date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) permanently decreases (excluding a decrease as a result of military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six (6) months, or if longer, so long as Executive retains a right to reemployment with the Service Recipient under an applicable statute or by contract) to no more than forty percent (40%) of the average level of bona fide services performed for the Service Recipient (whether as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding 36-month period (or the full period of service if Executive has been providing services to the Service Recipient for less than 36 months). If, at the written request of the Bank, the Executive continues full time employment with the Bank beyond attainment of age sixty-five (65) before experiencing a Separation from Service (unless due to discharge For Cause), then for each full year of service completed after the attainment of age sixty-five (65), the Full Benefit will increase by the Annual COLA Percentage (as defined in Exhibit A hereto), compounded annually. For example, if Executive attains age sixty-five (65) on December 31, 2009, the Full Benefit is $100,000, the Annual COLA Percentage is 5% and the Executive delayed retirement until March 31, 2012, then the Full Benefit would be $110,250 ($100,000 x 105% X 105% = $110,250).
