7.1 Changes in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of CSB (as herein defined) Bank shall provide Change in Control Benefits to Employee as set forth below, subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(c). A “Change in Control” for the purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred if either (i) any person, together with its Affiliates or Associates, acquires beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, of shares of CSB, entitling such person, together with such Affiliates or Associates, to cast more than one-third of the votes eligible to be cast at any meeting of shareholders of CSB, (ii) a change occurs in the acquisition of the ability to control the election of a majority of CSB’s directors, (iii) a change occurs in the acquisition of a controlling influence over the management or policies of CSB by any person or by persons acting as a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or (iv) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals (the “Continuing Directors”) who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of CSB (the “Existing Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any individual whose election or nomination for election as member of the Existing Board was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Continuing Directors then in office shall be considered a Continuing Director. For purposes of this definition, a person shall be deemed the “beneficial owner” of any shares of CSB (i) which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates, as defined below, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly; (ii) which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates, has directly or indirectly, (A) the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, or (B) the right to vote pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or (iii) which are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other person with which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any shares of CSB.

7.2 Change in Control Benefits. The Change in Control benefits that Employee shall be entitled to receive in accordance with the provisions hereof are as follows:

(a) Employee shall receive her Base Salary for a two (2) year period following termination of employment pursuant to Section 7.2(c), below. Such Base Salary shall be paid periodically at the same frequency as prior to the termination of employment.

(b) Bank shall provide to Employee continued coverage for one (1) year under a health plan with benefits the same or similar to those Employee had with Bank prior to the Change in Control.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Change of Control benefits will be payable unless Employee’s employment is terminated either by Bank or Employee, with or without cause or for any reason, within ninety (90) days, either prior to or subsequent to, the occurrence of the Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and for ninety (90) days thereafter, Employee may terminate her employment hereunder for any reason. No Change of Control benefits will be payable should termination occur as the result of a “For Cause” incident.

7.3 Tax Obligations. In the event that any Change in Control benefits which Employee is entitled to receive from Bank (either under this Agreement or otherwise) constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined for the purposes of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then such Change in Control benefits shall be reduced such that no “excess parachute payment” is received by Employee from Bank.

7.4 Mitigation of Benefits. Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any paid Change in Control benefit by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any Change in Control benefit be reduced by any compensation earned by Employee as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by Employee to Bank or for any other reason.
