WHEREAS, the Bank and the Executive wish to amend the Agreement to:

“d. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any cash payable to Executive under Section 12(b) of this Agreement shall be payable in a lump sum within 10 calendar days after Executive’s termination of employment, provided, however, if, at the time of Executive’s termination of employment, Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) and the payment under Section 12(b) is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, then such payment shall not be made until six months and one day following the date of Executive terminates employment, except as may otherwise be permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.”
