ARTICLE 2

LIFETIME BENEFITS

2.1 Normal Retirement. Unless Separation from Service or a Change in Control occurs before Normal Retirement Age, when the Executive attains Normal Retirement Age the Bank will pay to the Executive the benefit described in this section 2.1 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. If the Executive’s Separation from Service thereafter is a Termination with Cause or if this Agreement terminates under Article 5, no further benefits will be paid.

2.1.1 Amount of benefit. The annual benefit under this section 2.1 is $127,555.

2.1.2 Payment of benefit. Beginning with the month immediately after the month in which the Executive attains age 65, the Bank will pay the annual benefit to the Executive in equal monthly installments on the last day of each month. The annual benefit will be paid to the Executive for 15 years.

2.2 Early Termination. Unless the Executive receives the benefit under section 2.4 after a Change in Control, upon Early Termination the Bank will pay to the Executive the benefit described in this section 2.2 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement, except that all benefits under this Agreement are forfeited if the Executive violates the covenants of Article 9.

2.2.1 Amount of benefit. The annual benefit under this section 2.2 is calculated as the amount that fully amortizes the Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month immediately before the month in which Separation from Service occurs, amortizing that Accrual Balance over 15 years and taking into account interest at the discount rate or rates established by the Plan Administrator.

2.2.2 Payment of benefit. The Bank will pay the annual benefit to the Executive in equal monthly installments on the last day of each month, except that the first six monthly installments after the Executive’s Separation from Service will not be paid to the Executive until the seventh month after the month in which Separation from Service occurs. In the seventh month after the month in which Separation from Service occurs the Executive is entitled to the first six monthly installments and the regular monthly installment for the seventh month. The Executive is entitled to a total of 180 monthly installments, including the first six installments that are paid in the seventh month.

2.3 Disability. For Separation from Service because of Disability before Normal Retirement Age, the Bank will pay to the Executive the benefit described in this section 2.3 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. The Executive is entitled to no benefit under this section 2.3 if Separation from Service because of Disability occurs after a Change in Control.

2.3.1 Amount of benefit. The annual benefit under this section 2.3 is calculated as the amount that fully amortizes the Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month immediately before the month in which Separation from Service occurs, amortizing that Accrual Balance over 15 years and taking into account interest at the discount rate or rates established by the Plan Administrator.

2.3.2 Payment of benefit. Beginning with the later of (x) the seventh month after the month in which the Executive’s Separation from Service occurs, or (y) the month immediately after the month in which the Executive attains age 65, the Bank will pay the annual benefit to the Executive in equal monthly installments on the last day of each month. If the benefit is paid under clause (x) in the seventh month after Separation from Service, the first six monthly installments after Separation from Service will not be paid to the Executive until the seventh month after the month in which Separation from Service occurs. In the seventh month the Executive is entitled to the first six monthly installments and the regular monthly installment for the seventh month. The Executive is entitled to a total of 180 monthly installments, including the first six installments that are paid in the seventh month.

2.4 Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs both before Normal Retirement Age and before Separation from Service, the Bank will pay to the Executive the benefit described in this section 2.4 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement.

2.4.1 Amount of benefit. The benefit under this section 2.4 is the Normal Retirement Age Accrual Balance required by section 2.1, discounting the Normal Retirement Age Accrual Balance to present value using a discount rate selected by the Plan Administrator, but the discount rate selected by the Plan Administrator will not exceed the discount rate employed at the time of the Change in Control for purposes of calculating the Accrual Balance.

2.4.2 Payment of benefit. The Bank will pay the benefit under this section 2.4 to the Executive in a single lump sum three days after the Change in Control. If the Executive receives the benefit under this section 2.4 because of the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Executive is not entitled to claim additional benefits under section 2.4 if an additional Change in Control occurs thereafter.

2.5 Lump-Sum Payout of Remaining Normal Retirement Benefit, Early Termination Benefit, or Disability Benefit When a Change in Control Occurs. If a Change in Control occurs while the Executive is receiving the Normal Retirement Age benefit under section 2.1, the Bank will pay the remaining salary continuation benefits to the Executive in a single lump sum three days after the Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs after Separation from Service but while the Executive is receiving or is entitled to receive the Early Termination benefit under section 2.2 or the Disability benefit under section 2.3, the Bank will pay the remaining salary continuation benefits to the Executive in a single lump sum three days after the later of (x) the Change in Control or (y) the last day of the seventh month after the month in which the Executive’s Separation from Service occurs. The lump-sum payment due to the Executive as a result of a Change in Control is an amount equal to the Accrual Balance amount corresponding to the particular benefit when the Change in Control occurs.

2.6 Annual Benefit Statement. Within 120 days after the end of each Plan Year the Plan Administrator will provide or cause to be provided to the Executive an annual benefit statement showing benefits payable or potentially payable to the Executive under this Agreement. Each annual benefit statement supersedes the previous year’s annual benefit statement. If there is a contradiction between this Agreement and the annual benefit statement concerning the amount of a particular benefit payable or potentially payable to the Executive under sections 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 hereof, the amount of the benefit determined under this Agreement controls.

2.7 Savings Clause Relating to Compliance with Code Section 409A. Despite any contrary provision of this Agreement, if when the Executive’s employment terminates the Executive is a specified employee, as defined in Code section 409A, and if any payments under Article 2 of this Agreement will result in additional tax or interest to the Executive because of section 409A, the Executive is not entitled to the payments under Article 2 until the earliest of (x) the date that is at least six months after termination of the Executive’s employment for reasons other than the Executive’s death, (y) the date of the Executive’s death, or (z) any earlier date that does not result in additional tax or interest to the Executive under section 409A. If any provision of this Agreement would subject the Executive to additional tax or interest under section 409A, the Bank will reform the provision. However, the Bank will maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without subjecting the Executive to additional tax or interest, and the Bank is not required to incur any additional compensation expense as a result of the reformed provision.

2.8 One Benefit Only. Despite anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Executive and Beneficiary are entitled to one benefit only under this Agreement, which is determined by the first event to occur that is dealt with by this Agreement. Except as provided in section 2.5 or Article 3, subsequent occurrences of events dealt with by this Agreement do not entitle the Executive or Beneficiary to other or additional benefits under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3

DEATH BENEFITS

3.1 Death in Active Service Before Normal Retirement Age. If the Executive dies both before Normal Retirement Age and before Separation from Service, instead of any other benefit payable under this Agreement the Executive’s Beneficiary is entitled at the Executive’s death solely to the benefit, if any, payable under the Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement attached to this Agreement as Addendum A, as amended, unless the Change-in-Control benefit under section 2.4 has been paid. The Executive’s Beneficiary is entitled to no benefit under the Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement, as amended, if the Change-in-Control benefit under section 2.4 has been paid.

3.2 Death During Benefit Period. If the Executive dies after benefit payments under Article 2 commence but before receiving all such payments, the Bank will pay the remaining benefits to the Executive’s Beneficiary at the same time and in the same amounts they would have been paid to the Executive had the Executive survived. In that case no death benefit is payable under the Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement, as amended. If the Executive is entitled to benefit payments under Article 2 but dies before payments commence, the benefits are payable to the Executive’s Beneficiary but payments will commence on the last day of the month after the date of the Executive’s death, and no death benefit is payable under the Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement, as amended. However, the Executive’s Beneficiary is entitled to no benefit under the Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement, as amended, if the Change-in-Control benefit under section 2.4 has been paid.

3.3 Lump-Sum Payout of Remaining Normal Retirement Benefit, Early Termination Benefit, or Disability Benefit When a Change in Control Occurs. If a Change in Control occurs while the Beneficiary is receiving or is entitled to receive because of section 3.2 the section 2.1 Normal Retirement Age benefit after the Executive’s death or if a Change in Control occurs after the Executive’s Separation from Service but while the Beneficiary is receiving or is entitled to receive because of section 3.2 the section 2.2 Early Termination benefit or the section 2.3 Disability benefit after the Executive’s death, the Bank will pay the remaining benefits to the Beneficiary in a single lump sum three days after the Change in Control. The lump-sum payment due to the Beneficiary as a result of a Change in Control is an amount equal to the Accrual Balance amount corresponding to the particular benefit when the Change in Control occurs.

ARTICLE 4

BENEFICIARIES

4.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Executive may designate a Beneficiary to receive any benefits payable under this Agreement after the Executive’s death. The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different from the beneficiary designation under any other benefit plan of the Bank in which the Executive participates.

4.2 Beneficiary Designation: Change. The Executive designates a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated agent. The Executive’s Beneficiary designation is automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive may change a Beneficiary by completing, signing, and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. Upon acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed are cancelled. The Plan Administrator is entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and accepted by the Plan Administrator before the Executive’s death.

4.3 Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary is effective until received, accepted, and acknowledged in writing by the Plan Administrator or its designated agent.

4.4 No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary designation or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, the Executive’s spouse is the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse benefit payments will be made to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate.

4.5 Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incapacitated, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Bank may pay the benefit to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care or custody of the minor, incapacitated person, or incapable person. The Bank may require proof of incapacity, minority, or guardianship as it deems appropriate before distribution of the benefit. Distribution completely discharges the Bank from all liability for the benefit.

ARTICLE 5

8.4 Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached, or encumbered.

8.5 Successors; Binding Agreement.

8.6 Tax Withholding. The Bank will withhold any taxes that are required to be withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement.

If to the Bank, notice must be given to the board of directors, The Cortland Savings and Banking Company, ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, or to such other or additional person or persons as the Bank designates to the Executive in writing.

8.13 Payment of Legal Fees. The Bank is aware that after a Change in Control management could cause or attempt to cause the Bank to refuse to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, or could institute or cause or attempt to cause the Bank to institute litigation seeking to have this Agreement declared unenforceable, or could take or attempt to take other action to deny Executive the benefits intended under this Agreement. In these circumstances the purpose of this Agreement would be frustrated. The Bank desires that the Executive not be required to incur expenses associated with enforcement of rights under this Agreement, whether by litigation or other legal action, because the cost and expense thereof would substantially detract from the benefits intended to be granted to the Executive hereunder. The Bank desires that the Executive not be forced to negotiate settlement of rights under this Agreement under threat of incurring expenses. Accordingly, if after a Change in Control it appears to Executive that (x) the Bank has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement, or (y) the Bank or any other person has taken any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or instituted any litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish, or recover from the Executive the benefits intended to be provided to the Executive hereunder, the Bank irrevocably authorizes the Executive to retain counsel of the Executive’s choice, at the Bank’s expense as provided in this section 8.13, to represent the Executive in the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against the Bank or any director, officer, stockholder or other person affiliated with the Bank, in any jurisdiction. Despite any existing or previous attorney-client relationship between the Bank and any counsel chosen by the Executive under this section 8.13, the Bank irrevocably consents to the Executive entering into an attorney-client relationship with that counsel, and the Bank and the Executive agree that a confidential relationship exists between the Executive and that counsel. The fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Executive will be paid or reimbursed to the Executive by the Bank on a regular, periodic basis upon presentation by the Executive of a statement or statements prepared by counsel in accordance with counsel’s customary practices, regardless of whether suit is brought and regardless of whether incurred in trial, bankruptcy, or appellate proceedings. The Bank’s obligation to pay the Executive’s legal fees under this section 8.13 operates separately from and in addition to any legal fee reimbursement obligation the Bank or the Bank’s parent Cortland Bancorp may have with the Executive under a severance, employment, or other agreement. Despite any contrary provision in this Agreement however, the Bank is not required to pay or reimburse the Executive’s legal expenses if doing so violates section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act [12 U.S.C. 1828(k)] and Rule 359.3 of the Federal Deposit Insurance ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ [▇▇ ▇▇▇ 359.3].

8.14 Automatic Review. On the third year anniversary of the date of this Agreement and every third year thereafter the Bank will automatically review this Agreement for reasonableness of benefits, with the goal that the Executive’s benefit under this Agreement combined with other Bank-provided benefits equal a reasonable percentage of Executive’s pre-retirement compensation. For purposes of this Agreement, Bank-provided benefits include but are not limited to (x) the Bank 401(k) match and (y) the Bank portion of Social Security benefits. The term “compensation” as used in this section 8.14 means the base annual salary of the Executive projected at the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age. Base annual salary means compensation of the type that would, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-K Item 402(c) (17 CFR 229.402(c)), be required to be reported by an accelerated filer as salary in column (c) of that rule’s Summary Compensation Table. The term base annual salary specifically excludes director fees and other director compensation, bonus, option grants and any other compensation that would be reported in separate columns in the Summary Compensation Table, but it includes salary deferred at the election of the Executive.

For purposes of this section –

(1) the term “compete” means

(a) providing financial products or services on behalf of any financial institution for any person residing in the territory,

(b) assisting (other than through the performance of ministerial or clerical duties) any financial institution in providing financial products or services to any person residing in the territory, or

(b) If any provision of this section or any word, phrase, clause, sentence, or other portion thereof (including, without limitation, the geographical and temporal restrictions contained therein) is held to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the unenforceable or invalid provision or portion will be modified or deleted so that the provision, as modified, is legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

9.3 Remedies. Because of the unique character of the services to be rendered by the Executive hereunder, the Executive understands that the Bank would not have an adequate remedy at law for the material breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any one or more of the Executive’s covenants set forth in this Article 9. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that the Bank’s remedies for a material breach or threatened breach of this Article 9 include, but are not limited to, (x) forfeiture of any money representing accrued salary, contingent payments, or other fringe benefits due and payable to the Executive, (y) forfeiture of any unpaid benefits under Article 2 and forfeiture of death benefits under Article 3 of this Agreement, and (z) at the Bank’s option, a suit in equity by the Bank to enjoin the Executive from the breach or threatened breach of such covenants. The Executive hereby waives the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law is available to the Bank and the Executive agrees not to urge in any such action the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists. Nothing herein prohibits the Bank from pursuing any other remedies for the breach or threatened breach.

9.4 Article 9 Survives Termination But Is Void After a Change in Control. The rights and obligations set forth in this Article 9 survive termination of this Agreement. However, Article 9 is null and void if a Change in Control occurs before or after the Executive’s Separation from Service.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive and a duly authorized Bank officer have executed this Eighth Amended Salary Continuation Agreement as of the date first written above.
