Definitions
Whenever used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings specified:
| 1.1 | “Account Value” means the amount shown on Schedule A under the heading Account Value. The parties expressly acknowledge that the Account Value may be different than the liability that should be accrued by the Bank, under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), for the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement. The Account Value on any date other than the end of a Plan Year shall be determined by adding the prorated increase attributable for the current Plan Year to the Account Value for the previous Plan Year. |

| 1.4 | “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Bank as from time to time constituted. |
| 1.5 | “Change in Control” means a change in the ownership or effective control of the Bank, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Bank, as such change is defined in Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder. |
| 1.6 | “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended from time to time. |
| 1.7 | “Early Termination” means Separation from Service before attainment of Normal Retirement Age except when such Separation from Service occurs within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control or due to death. |

| predeceases the Director or if the Director names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Director shall have the right to 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. Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled.

| 4.5 | Facility of Distribution. If the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion that a benefit is to be distributed to a minor, to a person declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Plan Administrator may direct distribution of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Plan Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any distribution of a benefit shall be a distribution for the account of the Director and the Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall completely discharge any liability under this Agreement for such distribution amount. |
Article 5
General Limitations

The Bank and the Director agree that the term of this covenant not to compete and the geographic area described here are reasonable given the nature of the businesses conducted by the Bank, the Holding Company and their subsidiaries and given the plans for the conduct of business made by the Bank in its strategic plans. In the event the Director breaches this provision, the Bank may cancel all benefits provided herein upon giving the Director twenty one (21) days written notice and an opportunity to cure said breach. For purposes of this section, the Director shall be deemed a shareholder if the Director acquires five percent (5%) or more of any publicly traded or privately held entity that competes with the Bank as aforesaid. |
