SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN
As Amended and Restated Effective July 9, 2016

 

ARTICLE II
GENERAL

 

2.01 Effective Date. The provisions of the Plan were originally adopted as the Southern Community Bank & Trust Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan effective October 20, 2003. The Plan was amended and restated as the Village Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan effective January 1, 2005. The Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2008, to make certain changes to comply with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations and other guidance thereunder, including transition rules. The Plan is again amended and restated effective July 9, 2016, to clarify provisions consistent with the Bank’s original intent and the manner in which the Plan has been operated. The rights, if any, of any person whose status as an employee of the Bank, and its subsidiaries or affiliates, if any, has terminated shall be determined pursuant to the Plan as in effect on the date such employee terminated, unless subsequently adopted provisions of the Plan are made specifically applicable to such person.

 

2.02 Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide supplemental retirement income to a Participant. The Plan is intended to be (and shall be construed and administered as) an "employee pension benefit plan" under the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") which is unfunded and is maintained by the Bank solely to provide retirement income to a select group of management or highly compensated employees. The Plan also is intended to comply with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations thereunder. All provisions of the Plan, including elections, consents and modifications thereto, should be interpreted consistent with that intent. If any provision of the Plan, including any election procedures, consents or modifications thereto, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with Code section 409A, then such provision shall be amended to comply with Code section 409A. The Administrator is authorized to adopt rules or regulations deemed necessary or appropriate to anticipate or comply with Code section 409A and to declare any election, consent or modification thereto void if non-compliant with Code section 409A.

ARTICLE III 

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

 

3.01 Eligibility. Eligibility for Plan participation shall be limited to those employees who otherwise constitute a select group of management and highly compensated employees of the Employer. The Committee shall, with Board approval, designate whether and when an employee is eligible to participate in the Plan.

 

3.02 Participation. An Eligible Employee, once designated Committee and approved by the Board in writing to participate in the Plan, shall become a Participant sixty (60) days following the date of his or her designation and approval (unless an earlier participation date for such Eligible Employee is specifically designated and approved) and shall be listed on Schedule A. An Eligible Employee who becomes a Participant shall remain a Participant unless and until the Committee resolves that such employee is no longer eligible to participate in the Plan. Any action to remove a previously Eligible Employee shall be effective as of the later of: (i) the date the action is taken or (ii) the stated effective date of the action. An employee whose participation in the Plan is revoked and terminated shall be provided only those benefits to which he otherwise is entitled, under the terms of Article IV, as to participation through his or her termination of participation.

ARTICLE IV 

SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT

 

4.01 Supplemental Benefit. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Participant shall be entitled to a Supplemental Benefit beginning after his Retirement, in accordance with Section 4.04, pursuant to the Schedule of Benefits attached hereto as Schedule B.

 

4.02 Termination of Employment. The Supplemental Benefit of a Participant who has a Termination of Employment shall be determined by multiplying the amount of his Supplemental Benefit, provided in Schedule B, by a fraction in which the Participant's total Years of Service (up to a maximum of his Service Requirement) is the numerator and the Participant's Service Requirement, as provided on Schedule B, is the denominator.

  

4.03 Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding the Participant's Service Requirement described in Schedule B, if a Participant becomes Disabled or has a Termination of Employment due to death, vesting will accelerate and the Participant will be entitled to the full amount of his Supplemental Benefit as if he has satisfied the requirements for Retirement. In addition, upon a Change in Control, vesting will accelerate, and the Participant will be entitled to the full amount of his Supplemental Benefit, without regard to his Service Requirement, upon Termination of Employment or Retirement.

 

 4.04 Normal Form and Timing of Supplemental Benefit.

 

(a)                      A Participant's Supplemental Benefit shall be paid in a series of equal monthly payments for the period provided on Schedule B, on the first day of each applicable month.

 

(b)                     Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.04 or unless a different Benefit Commencement Date is set forth on Schedule B, Supplemental Benefit payments shall commence on the first day of the month following the Participant's Retirement. A Supplemental Benefit payment made to a Specified Employee shall commence on the first day of the month following the six-month anniversary of the Specified Employee's Retirement, unless an exception to this delay applies under Code section 409A — e.g., in the case of Disability or payment beginning on a specified Benefit Commencement Date. The initial payment made under the preceding sentence shall include amounts that would have been paid through the date of such initial payment had the Participant not been a Specified Employee.

(c) Except as provided in the following sentence, if a Participant has a Termination of Employment, then payments shall commence on the first day of the month following the date on which the Participant would have fulfilled the Service Requirement had he or she remained employed by the Bank or any Participating Employer. No payment shall be made to a Specified Employee prior to the first day of the month following the six-month anniversary of the Specified Employee's Termination of Employment, however, unless an exception to this delay applies under Code section 409A — e.g., in the case of Disability or payment beginning on a specified Benefit Commencement Date. In the event of such a delay, the initial payment shall include amounts that would have been paid through the date of such initial payment had the Participant not been a Specified Employee.

 

4.05 General Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Plan if such payment would result in the violation of any banking law, regulation or regulatory order.

 

4.06 No Acceleration of Payment. Except as provided in Code section 409A and Treasury Regulations thereunder, no acceleration in the time or schedule of any payment or amount scheduled to be paid under the Plan is permitted.

5.01 Pre-Termination Survivor Benefit. If a Participant dies while employed by the Bank, the Participant's spouse, or the Participant's designated beneficiary in the event the Participant has no spouse or the spouse fails to survive the Participant, shall be entitled to receive the amount by which (i) the Present Value of the full amount of the Participant's Supplemental Benefit (taking into account any accelerated vesting applicable under Section 4.03) exceeds (ii) the death benefits payable to a beneficiary designated by the Executive under a life insurance contract owned by the Bank and subject to a split dollar insurance agreement between the Bank and the Participant. Payment due under this Section 5.01 shall be made within ninety (90) days following the Participant's death, in a lump sum.

 

5.02 Post-Termination Survivor Benefit. If a Participant dies after his Retirement or Termination of Employment, the Participant's spouse, or the Participant's designated beneficiary in the event the Participant has no spouse or the spouse fails to survive the Participant, shall be entitled to receive the remaining installments of his Supplemental Benefit at the time or times such installments would have been paid under Article IV.

 

5.03 Beneficiary Designation. A Participant shall designate a primary and contingent beneficiary on the form furnished by the Bank (attached hereto as Exhibit A), which may be changed by the Participant from time to time by written notice to the Bank and upon such change the rights of all previously designated beneficiaries to receive any benefits under this Plan shall cease. If the Participant's spouse fails to survive him and (i) the Participant has failed to make a beneficiary designation, (ii) no person designated as beneficiary is alive, (iii) no trust has been established, or (iv) no successor beneficiary has been designated who is alive, the beneficiary shall be the Participant's surviving children, or if no children are alive, the Participant's parent or parents, or if no parent is alive, the legal representative of the deceased Participant's estate.

 

5.04 Suicide. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, the benefits otherwise provided herein shall not be payable if the Participant's death results from suicide, whether sane or insane, within two (2) years and three months after the date of the Participant's entry into the Plan.

ARTICLE VII 

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

 

Claims for benefits under the Plan must be filed with the Administrator on forms supplied by the Bank. The Administrator shall be responsible for deciding whether such claim is within the scope provided by the Plan (a "Covered Claim") and for providing full and fair review of the decision with respect to such claim.

8.01 Amendment. The Bank reserves the right to amend the Plan in any manner that it deems advisable by a resolution of the Board.

8.02 Termination. The Bank reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time by resolution of the Board. No termination shall, without the consent of the Participant, affect the amount of the Participant's Supplemental Benefit prior to the termination of the right of the Participant to receive a Supplemental Benefit to which the Participant has become entitled in accordance with Article IV of the Plan. Any termination of the Plan shall be carried out in accordance with Code section 409A and Treasury Regulation section l.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

 

ARTICLE IX 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

9.01 Assignment and Aienation.

 

(a)          Subject to the exceptions provided below or as required by applicable law, no benefit that shall be payable hereunder to any person (including a Participant, Spouse or Beneficiary) shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assign, pledge, encumbrance, charge or attachment. Subject to the exceptions provided below or as required by applicable law, any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge or attach any benefit payable hereunder shall be void. Subject to the exceptions provided below or as required by applicable law, no such benefit shall be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person.

No Participant shall have any rights under the Plan, other than those of a general, unsecured creditor of the Bank. The Bank may reserve (through a "rabbi trust" or similar arrangement) such funds as the Bank may determine is necessary to provide the benefits accrued under the Plan. Any funds the Bank so reserved may be kept in cash, invested or reinvested. Any assets that may be segregated, reserved, or otherwise identified by the Bank for the purpose of paying benefits under the Plan nevertheless remain general assets of the Bank (and subject to the claims of the general creditors of the Bank).

 

9.06 Severability. If any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, but the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.

Each Participant shall file with the Administrator, from time to time, in writing, the post office address of the Participant, the post office address of each Beneficiary, and each change of post office address. Any communication, statement or notice addressed to the last post office address filed with the Administrator (or if no such address was filed with the Administrator, then to the last post office address of the Participant or beneficiary as shown on the Bank's records) shall be binding on the Participant and each beneficiary for all purposes of the Plan and neither the Administrator nor any Bank shall be obliged to search for or ascertain the whereabouts of any Participant or beneficiary.

 

9.08 Receipt and Release for Payments. Any payment to a Participant, spouse or beneficiary, or his or her legal representative, guardian or committee, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims hereunder against the Administrator or the Bank (either or whom may require such person, as a condition precedent to payment, to execute a receipt and release of the Administrator and the Bank in a form determined by the Administrator and the Bank).

 

9.09 Headings. The headings and subheadings of this Plan have been inserted for convenience of reference (and are to be ignored in any construction of the provisions hereof).

9.11 Tax Withholding. The Bank shall withhold from any payment made by it under the Plan such amount or amounts as may be required for purposes of complying with the tax withholding or other provisions of the Code, the Social Security Act, as amended, or any federal, state or local income or employment tax provision; or otherwise, for purposes of paying any estate, inheritance or other tax attributable to any amounts payable hereunder.
