First Amended Schedule A
Southern First Bank, N.A.
Salary Continuation Agreement
_____________________________
SCHEDULE A ASSUMPTIONS:
- Please Note: The Schedule A calculations below are for illustrative and informational purposes only and are subject to change due to changes in the assumptions from time to time, such as changes in the assumed discount rate, variations between the assumed timing of certain payments and the eventual actual timing of such payments, and other factors. The below calculations assume a six and one-quarter percent (6.25%) discount rate and an October 1, 2008 Amended SERP Effective Date. If there is a contradiction between the terms of the Agreement and this Schedule A concerning the actual amount of a particular benefit amount due to the Executive, then the actual amount of the benefit set forth in the Agreement shall control. If the Plan Administrator changes the discount rate employed for purposes of calculating the Accrual Balance, the Plan Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared a revised Schedule A for the Executive, which shall supersede and replace any and all Schedules A previously prepared under or attached to this Agreement.
- The Schedule A calculations below assume a benefit payable for the Executive’s lifetime after age sixty-five (65), with a minimum benefit for a fifteen (15) – year term certain period.
- The change-in-control benefit for Mr. Seaver is his normal retirement age Accrual Balance, without any additional discount for the time value of money.
- The Schedule A calculations assume that payment of the early termination and disability benefits begins immediately after the Executive attains age sixty-five (65). The possible six (6) – month delay because of Internal Revenue Code section 409A is ignored for calculation purposes.
- The early termination and disability benefits are actually based on the Executive’s Accrual Balance existing at the end of the month immediately before early termination occurs or immediately before the month in which termination because of disability occurs, compounding this Accrual Balance forward to the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age taking into account interest at the discount rate or rates established by the Plan Administrator, and amortizing this resulting amount over the Executive’s lifetime for a fifteen (15) – year term certain period beginning with the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age. For clarity, Schedule A shows early termination and disability benefits based on the Executive’s end-of-year Accrual Balances. For example, Executive's $________ early termination and disability benefit at age ____ is based on his December 31, 2011 Accrual Balance, as compounded and amortized as discussed above. Accordingly,
