1.19    “Terminated for Cause” shall mean a Separation of Service initiated by the Employer pursuant to the most recent employment agreement between Employer and Executive.

2.1    Annuity Contracts and Other Investments. For purposes of satisfying its obligations to provide benefits under this Agreement, the Employer has initially invested in the Annuity Contracts. However, nothing in this Section shall require the Employer to invest in any particular form of investment, so long as it satisfies its obligations under Section 2.3 below.

2.2    Ownership of the Annuity Contracts and Other Investments. The Employer is the sole owner of the Annuity Contracts and any other investments for this Agreement and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership of the Annuity Contracts. The Employer shall be the beneficiary of the death proceeds of the Annuity Contracts. The Employer shall at all times be entitled to the Annuity Contracts’ Cash Surrender Value, as that term is defined in the Annuity Contracts. The Cash Surrender Value shall be determined as of the date of the surrender of the Annuity Contracts or death of the Executive, as the case may be.

2.3    Right to Annuity Contracts. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Bank shall have the right to sell or surrender the Annuity Contracts without terminating this Agreement, provided the Employer replaces the Annuity Contracts with a comparable annuity policy(ies). Without limitation, the Annuity Contracts at all times shall be the exclusive property of the Employer and shall be subject to the claims of the Employer’s creditors.

2.4    Rabbi Trust. Employer may establish a “rabbi trust” to which contributions may be made to provide the Employer with a source of funds for purposes of satisfying the obligations of the Employer under the Plan. Any such trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan as an unfunded plan. The Executive and his Beneficiaries shall have no beneficial ownership interest in any assets held in the trust.

3.1    Retirement Benefit.

(a)    Upon the Executive’s Separation from Service on or after Normal Retirement Age for any reason other than death, Disability or Change in Control, the Executive will be entitled to the benefit described in this Section 3.1 (the “Normal Retirement Benefit”). Subject to the vesting schedule and limitations set forth in subsection (b) below, the Normal Retirement Benefit will be equal to the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract through the Rider on a monthly basis after the date of Separation from Service, and will be payable in monthly installments for the life of the Executive commencing on the first (1st) day of the second month following the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service.

(b)    Executive’s rights to the Normal Retirement Benefit shall vest at the rate of one-sixth (1/6) a year for each year of service to the Employer (including service pre-dating the Effective Date) such that upon six (6) years of service, the Executive is fully vested and entitled to the full Normal Retirement Benefit.

(c)    In the event of an Early Retirement by the Executive, Executive shall be entitled to a fraction of the Normal Retirement Benefit, as computed in the next sentence, with payments to begin nonetheless upon the Normal Retirement Age and not at the time of Separation from Service. The payment to be made for Early Retirement shall be computed by determining (i) the amount accrued on the Employer’s books with respect to Executive’s Normal Retirement Benefit at the time of Separation from Service divided by the total amount that would have been accrued had the Executive’s Separation from Service occurred at the Normal Retirement Age, multiplied by (ii) the percentage of Normal Retirement Benefit vested pursuant to the formula set forth earlier in Section 3.1(b), multiplied by (iii) the Normal Retirement Benefit.

3.2    Disability Benefit. Upon the Executive’s Separation from Service as a result of incurring a Disability while actively employed by the Employer any time after the Effective Date, the Executive will be entitled to the benefit described in this Section 3.2 (the Disability Benefit”). The Disability Benefit will be equal to the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract through the Rider on a monthly basis as the Normal Retirement Benefit as provided for in Section 3.1(a), payable in monthly installments for the life of the Executive, commencing at the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age.. In the event of a Disability, the Executive shall be deemed to be fully vested irrespective of the vesting schedule provided for in Section 3.1(b). The parties acknowledge that separately the Executive has long term disability insurance which will provide certain coverage to the Executive prior to the Normal Retirement Age.

3.3    Preretirement Death Benefit. Upon the death of the Executive while in service to the Employer, the Employer shall pay to the Executive’s Beneficiary at Beneficiary’s election as set forth in the Beneficiary Designation Form (as it may be amended from time to time) either (a) a lump sum payment representing the net present value of the amount that represents what Executive would have received under Section 3.1(a) in one hundred eighty (180) installments if the Executive had become entitled to receive Normal Retirement Benefits upon the date of his death (with the Beneficiary having no right to designate the taxable year of the payment) or (b) one hundred eighty (180) monthly payments, each in amount as calculated as in Section 3.1(a) above. Net present value for purposes of clause (a) shall be determined by applying a discount rate determined by the Plan Administrator in good faith. Consistent with Section 409A, a change in such election that has been effective prior to death for less than twelve (12) months will not be recognized as a changed election. In the event of death, the Executive shall be deemed to be fully vested irrespective of the vesting schedule provided for in Section 3.1(b).

3.4    Postretirement Death Benefit. Upon the death of the Executive after (i) the Executive has started receiving Normal Retirement Benefit payments under Section 3.1 or (ii) the Executive has experienced a Separation from Service arising from a Disability, but before Executive has received a total of one hundred eighty (180) payments of the Normal Retirement Benefit or Disability Benefit, as applicable, the Executive’s Beneficiary will receive, in accordance with the election made by the Executive as provided in Section 3.3 above either (a) a lump sum payment representing the net present value of the amount that represents what the Executive would have received under Section 3.1 or 3.2 in one hundred eighty (180) installments, minus the number of installments the Executive already received (with the Beneficiary having no right to designate the taxable year of the payment) or (b) the balance of

the one hundred eighty (180) monthly installments, which balance shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 3.1. Net present value for purposes of clause (a) shall be determined by applying a discount rate determined by the Plan Administrator in good faith. In the event of death, the Executive shall be deemed to be fully vested irrespective of the vesting schedule provided for in Section 3.1(b).

3.5    Change in Control Benefit, Provisions. (a) Upon a Change in Control prior to the date on which the Executive is otherwise entitled to any payments pursuant to Sections 3.1 through 3.4 inclusive of this Agreement, then, commencing at the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age, the Executive will be paid the amount of the Normal Retirement Benefit as determined under Section 3.1(a) (determined without any reduction under either Section 3.1(b) or Section 3.1(c)), payable in monthly installments for the life of the Executive.

(b) Upon any Change in Control, whether before or after Benefits hereunder have begun, the Employer will establish a “rabbi trust”, if one has not already been established, for the purposes of this Agreement, to which assets will be contributed to provide the Employer with a source of funds for purposes of satisfying the obligations of the Employer under the Plan. The amount of the contribution to the “rabbi trust” will be the amount sufficient to satisfy the obligation of the Employer based on the Normal Retirement Benefit as provided for in Section 3.1. In the event of a Change in Control, the Executive shall be deemed to be fully vested irrespective of the vesting schedule provided for in Section 3.1(b). The guarantee of one hundred eighty (180) installments to Executive and Executive’s Beneficiary cumulatively set forth in Section 3.7 applies to the Change in Control Benefit even though no election opportunity exists.

(c) In the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Employer or Bancorp that constitutes a Change in Control, Employer shall cause the acquirer to assume the liability to form, fund and maintain the “rabbi trust” that would otherwise be imposed on the Employer.

3.6    Restriction on Timing of Distributions. Notwithstanding the applicable provisions of this Agreement regarding timing of payments, the following special rules shall apply if the stock of the Bank or Bancorp is publicly traded at the time of the Executive’s Separation from Service in order for this Agreement to comply with Section 409A: (i) to the extent the Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A) at the time of Separation from Service and to the extent Section 409A requires a delay of distributions by a six (6)-month period after the date of such Executive’s Separation from Service, no such distribution shall be made prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service, and (ii) any such delayed payments shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum on the first business day after the end of the six (6)-month delay. Any deferral of payments pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall have no effect on any payments that are scheduled to be paid more than six (6) months after the date of Separation from Service.

3.7    Guaranteed Benefit. To the extent the Executive elected to receive the benefits under this Article 3 in monthly installments and thereafter the Executive died prior to the receipt by the Executive of at least one hundred eighty (180) installments, then the Executive’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive monthly installments in like amount until such time as the sum of the installments paid to the Executive and the installments paid to the Executive’s Beneficiary equal one hundred eighty (180).

3.8    Terminated for Cause. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Benefit under Article 3 shall be due or payable in the event the Executive is Terminated for Cause prior to the date on which the Executive is entitled to start receiving payments hereunder.

4.1    Beneficiary Designations. The Executive shall have the right to designate at any time a Beneficiary to receive any benefits payable under this Agreement upon the death of the Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other benefit plan of the Employer in which the Executive participates.

4.2    Beneficiary Designation; Changes. The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated agent and having the Plan Administrator accept such designation in writing. The Executive’s Beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive 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, 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 Executive and accepted by the Plan Administrator before the Executive’s death. Similar rules apply with respect to an Executive’s election whether to accept a lump sum or monthly installments under Sections 3.2 and 3.3.

4.3    Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received in writing by the Plan Administrator or its designated agent.

4.4    No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid Beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive’s spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be distributed to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate.

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 or her property, the Employer 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 Employer may require proof of incapacity, minority, or guardianship as it may deem appropriate before distribution of the benefit. Distribution shall completely discharge the Employer from all liability for the benefit.

5.1    Limits on Payments. It is the intention of the parties that none of the payments to which the Executive is entitled under this Agreement will constitute a “golden parachute payment” within the meaning of 12 USC Section 1828(k)(4) or implementing regulations of the FDIC, the payment of which is prohibited (collectively, “Section 1828(k)(4)”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any payments due to be made by Employer for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned on compliance with Section 1828(k)(4) and any regulations promulgated thereunder including the receipt of all required approvals thereof by Employer’s primary federal banking regulator and/or the FDIC.

In addition, Employer and its successors retain the legal right to demand the return of any payment made hereunder which constitutes a “golden parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 1828(k)(4) should Employer or its successors later obtain information indicating that the Executive committed, is substantially responsible for, or has violated, the respective acts or omissions, conditions, or offenses outlined under 12 C.F.R. 359.4(a)(4).

The provisions in the Employment Agreement between Employer and Executive in effect at the time a payment is due hereunder related to Section 280G of the Code shall apply to the payments payable to Executive hereunder.

(d)    Timing of Plan Administrator Response. The Plan Administrator shall respond in writing to such claimant within sixty (60) days after receiving the request for review. If the Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require additional time for processing the claim, the Plan Administrator can extend the response period by an additional sixty (60) days by notifying the claimant in writing, prior to the end of the initial sixty (60)-day period, that an additional period is required.

7.3    No Guarantee of Employment. This Agreement is not an employment policy or contract. It does not give the Executive the right to remain an employee of the Employer, nor does it interfere with the Employer’s right to discharge the Executive. It also does not require the Executive to remain an employee nor interfere with the Executive’s right to terminate employment at any time.

7.4    Non-Transferability. The right to Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached, or encumbered in any manner.

7.5    Tax Withholding. The Employer shall withhold any taxes that are required to be withheld from the payments made under Article 3 of this Agreement.

Accordingly, each party (a) agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and to accept service of process at its address for notices and in the manner provided in Section 7.11 for the giving of notices in any such action or proceeding brought in any such court and (b) irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient or inappropriate forum.

7.7    Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and the Executive’s Beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of the Employer for the payment of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Employer to pay such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors. Any insurance, annuity contract or other asset purchased by Employer to fund its obligations under this Agreement shall be a general asset of the Employer to which the Executive and Beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.

This Agreement contains all of the agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect to supplemental executive retirement benefits to be paid to Executive by the Employer, and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings related to the subject matter hereof. No oral agreements or written correspondence shall be held to affect the provisions hereof.

The failure of either party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall not in any manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either party of the breach of any term, provision or covenant contained in the Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of the breach or any other term, provision or covenant contained, in this Agreement.

7.13    Payment of Legal Fees. In the event litigation ensues between the parties concerning the enforcement of the obligations of the parties under this Agreement, the Employer shall pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such litigation on the Executive’s behalf (without any advance or contribution by the Executive) until such time as a final determination is made with respect to the litigation beyond exhaustion of appeals. If the Employer prevails on the substantive merits of each material claim in dispute in such litigation, the Employer shall be entitled to receive from the Executive reimbursement for all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, paid by the Employer pursuant to the preceding sentence on behalf of the Executive in connection with such litigation, and the Executive shall pay such costs and expenses to the Employer promptly upon demand by the Employer.
