2.2 Early Retirement Benefit. Upon Early Termination, the Bank shall pay to the Participant the benefit described in this Section 2.2 instead of any other benefit under this Plan; provided that the Early Termination occurs on or after the date the Participant attains age fifty-five (55) and has participated in the Plan for eight (8) calendar years. A Participant who terminates employment prior to attaining age fifty-five (55) and participating in the Plan for eight (8) calendar years shall not be eligible for any benefit under this Section 2.2, but will still be eligible for a benefit under Section 2.3 of the Plan.
(a) Amount of Early Retirement Benefit.

(b) Payment of Benefit. Subject to Sections 2.6 and 3.1 of the Plan, the Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the Participant in monthly installments beginning on the first business day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the Participants Separation from Service.

The Early Termination benefit as provided in this Section 2.3 shall be paid to the Participant (or in the event of the Participants death, to the Participants Beneficiary) for a period of fifteen (15) years (i.e., for a total of 180 monthly payments).
(c) Alternative Form of Benefit: Subject to Section 2.6, a Participant may elect to receive his/her Early Termination benefit payable under this Plan in an unreduced lump sum on the first business day of the first calendar quarter after the Participants Separation from Service, provided the Participant elects to do so upon his/her initial designation as a Participant or as otherwise permitted by Code Section 409A.
3
2.4 Change in Control Benefit. If a Change in Control occurs after the effective date of a Participants participation in the Plan but before the Participants Normal Retirement Age and before his/her Separation from Service, the Bank shall pay to the Participant the benefit described in this Section 2.4 instead of any other benefit under this Plan.
(a) Amount of Change in Control Benefit: The benefit under this Section 2.4 equals to the Normal Retirement benefit under Section 2.1 (determined without regard to the Participants age or period of participation as of the Change in Control effective date).
(b) Payment of Benefit: The Bank shall pay the Change in Control benefit under this Section 2.4 to the Participant in a lump sum that is the Actuarially Equivalent to the Participants benefit calculated under Section 2.1 of the Plan (assuming the Change in Control effective date occurred at the Participants Normal Retirement Age). The Bank (or its successor) shall make the payment within ten (10) days after the Change in Control. If the Participant receives the benefit under this Section 2.4 because of the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Participant shall not be entitled to claim additional benefits under Section 2.4 if an additional Change in Control occurs thereafter.
2.5 Disability Benefit. Upon a Separation from Service prior to the Participants Normal Retirement Age due to Disability, the Bank shall pay the benefit described in this Section 2.5 in lieu of any other benefit under the Plan.
(a) Amount of Disability Benefit. The Participants benefit under Section 2.5 equals the Accrual Balance less any amount covered by a separate disability insurance policy (excluding any short-term or long-term disability program sponsored by the Bank) not to exceed an amount equal to the Actuarial Equivalent lump sum of the product of the Participants benefit percentage multiplied by his/her Final Pay paid for fifteen (15) years.
(b) Payment of Benefit. Subject to Section 2.6 of the Plan, the Bank shall pay the benefit to the Participant in a single lump sum on the first business day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the later of the date the benefit from the disability policy is received or the date of disability if not insured.
2.6 Savings Clause Relating to Compliance with Code Section 409A. Despite any contrary provision of this Plan, if, at the time of the Participants Separation from Service, the Participant is a specified employee, as defined in Code Section 409A, and if any payments under Article 2 of this Plan will result in additional tax or interest to the Participant because of Code Section 409A, the Participant will not be entitled to the payments under Article 2 until the earliest of:
(i) the date that is at least six (6) months after termination of the Participants employment for reasons other than the Participants death, or
(ii) the date of the Participants death, or
(iii) any earlier date that does not result in additional tax or interest to the Participant under Code Section 409A.
4
If any provision of this Plan would subject the Participant to additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A or result in a violation of Code Section 409A, the Bank shall reform such provision. However, the Bank shall maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without subjecting the Participant to additional tax or interest, and the Bank shall not be required to incur any additional compensation expense as a result of the reformed provision. References in this Plan to Code Section 409A include rules, regulations, and guidance of general application issued by the Department of the Treasury under Code Section 409A.
2.7 One Benefit Only. Despite anything to the contrary in this Plan, the Participant and/or his/her Beneficiary are entitled to one benefit only under this Plan, which shall be determined by the first event to occur that is dealt with by this Plan.
ARTICLE 3
DEATH BENEFITS
3.1 Death During Active Service. If the Participant dies before a Separation from Service, at the Participants death the Participants Beneficiary shall be entitled to the Accrual Balance less the benefit described in an Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement entered into with the Participant. If the Participant is not a party to an Endorsement Split Dollar Agreement at the time of his/her death, the Bank shall, as soon as practicable following his/her death, pay the Participants Beneficiary a lump sum amount equal to the Accrual Balance.
3.2 Death after Separation from Service. If the Participant dies after a Separation from Service but prior to the time all payments have been made under the Plan, the remaining payments shall be made to the Participants Beneficiary as soon as practicable in an Actuarial Equivalent lump sum.
ARTICLE 4
BENEFICIARIES
4.1 Beneficiary Designations. A Participant shall have the right to designate at any time a Beneficiary to receive any benefits payable under this Plan upon the death of the Participant. The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be the same as, or different from, the beneficiary designation under any other benefit plan of the Bank in which the Participant participates.
4.2 Beneficiary Designation: Change. The Participant shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated agent. The Participants Beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Participant or if the Participant names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Participant 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 Administrators rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Participant and accepted by the Plan Administrator before the Participants death.
4.3 Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received, accepted, and acknowledged in writing by the Plan Administrator or its designated agent.
4.4 No Beneficiary Designation. If the Participant dies without a valid beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, then the Participants spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Participant has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be made to the personal representative of the Participants estate.
5
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/her property, the Bank may pay such 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 may deem appropriate before distribution of the benefit. Distribution shall completely discharge the Bank from all liability for the benefit.
ARTICLE 5
GENERAL LIMITATIONS
5.1 Termination for Cause. Despite any contrary provision of this Plan, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Plan to a Participant if the Participants Separation from Service is the result of the Participants Termination for Cause.

ARTICLE 7
MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Amendments and Termination. This Plan may not be amended or terminated by the Bank without the prior written consent of an affected Participant.
7.2 Binding Effect. This Plan shall bind each participating Participant, the Bank, and their Beneficiaries, survivors, executors, successors, administrators, and transferees.
7.3 No Guarantee of Employment. This Plan is not an employment policy or contract. It does not guarantee any Participant the right to remain an employee of the Bank nor does it interfere with the Banks right to discharge the Participant. It also does not require the Participant to remain an employee or interfere with the Participants right to terminate employment at any time.
7.4 Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Plan cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached, or encumbered in any manner.
7.5 Successors. The Bank shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Bank to expressly assume this Plan in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform under this Plan if no such succession had occurred.
7.6 Tax Withholding. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are required to be withheld from the benefits provided under this Plan.
7.7 Applicable Law. This Plan and all rights hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the state of Maryland, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the United States of America.
8
7.8 Unfunded Arrangement. The Participant and his/her Beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of the Bank for the payment of benefits under this Plan. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Bank to pay the benefits. Rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors.
7.9 Severability. If any provision of this Plan is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Plan not held invalid, and each such other provision shall continue in full force and effect to the full extent consistent with law. If any provision of this Plan is held invalid in part, such invalidity shall not affect the remainder of the provision not held invalid, and the remainder of such provision together with all other provisions of this Plan shall continue in full force and effect to the full extent consistent with law.
7.10 Headings. Caption headings and subheadings herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Plan.
7.11 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand or mailed, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid, to the following addresses or to such other address as either party may designate by like notice. If to the Bank, notice shall be given to:
Board of Directors
Baltimore County Savings Bank
4111 E. Joppa Road
Baltimore, Maryland 21236
or to such other or additional person or persons as the Bank shall have designated to the Participant in writing. If to a Participant, notice shall be given to the Participant at the Participants address appearing on the Banks records, or to such other or additional person or persons as the Participant shall have designated to the Bank in writing.
7.12 Payment of Legal Fees. The Bank is aware that after a Change in Control management of the Bank could cause or attempt to cause the Bank to refuse to comply with its obligations under this Plan, or could institute or cause or attempt to cause the Bank to institute litigation seeking to have this Plan declared unenforceable, or could take or attempt to take other action to deny a Participant the benefits intended under this Plan. In these circumstances the purpose of this Plan would be frustrated.
It is the intention of the Bank that the Participant not be required to incur the expenses associated with the enforcement of rights under this Plan, 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 Participant hereunder. It is the intention of the Bank that the Participant not be forced to negotiate settlement of rights under this Plan under threat of incurring expenses. Accordingly, if after a Change in Control occurs it appears to the Participant that:
(i) the Bank has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Plan, or
(ii) the Bank or any other person has taken any action to declare this Plan void or unenforceable, or instituted any litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish, or to recover from the Participant the benefits intended to be provided to the Participant hereunder, the Bank irrevocably authorizes the Participant from time to time to retain counsel of the Participants choice (at the Banks expense as provided in this Section 7.12) to represent the
9
Participant 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 Participant under this Section 7.12, the Bank irrevocably consents to the Participant entering into an attorney-client relationship with that counsel, and the Bank and the Participant agree that a confidential relationship shall exist between the Participant and that counsel. The fees and expenses of counsel selected from time to time by the Participant as provided in this Section shall be paid or reimbursed to the Participant by the Bank on a regular, periodic basis upon presentation by the Participant of a statement or statements prepared by such counsel in accordance with such counsels customary practices, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $100,000, whether suit be brought or not, and whether or not incurred in trial, bankruptcy, or appellate proceedings.
The Banks obligation to pay the Participants legal fees provided by this Section 7.12 operates separately from and in addition to any legal fee reimbursement obligation the Bank may have with the Participant under any separate employment, severance, or other agreement between the Participant and the Bank. Despite any contrary provision in this Section 7.12 however, the Bank shall not be required to pay or reimburse the Participants legal expenses if doing so would violate Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act 12 U.S.C. 1828(k) and Rule 359.3 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 12 CFR 359.3.
ARTICLE 8
ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN
8.1 Plan Administrator Duties. This Plan shall be administered by a Plan Administrator consisting of the Banks Board of Directors or such Committee or person(s) as the Board shall appoint. The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretion and authority to (i) make, amend, interpret, and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan and (ii) decide or resolve any and all questions, including interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with the Plan.
8.2 Agents. In the administration of this Plan, the Plan Administrator may employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Bank.
