(i)                                   (A) a material diminution in the Executive’s base compensation as in effect immediately prior to the beginning of the period or as the same may

be increased from time to time thereafter or (B) a material diminution in the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to the beginning of the period;

Part 908 or any successor regulation thereto.

(g)                                 “Reorganization Agreement” means a definitive agreement, the full performance of which would result in a Reorganization of the Bank.

(i)                                     “Termination of Employment” shall mean means the severing of employment with the Bank, voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason whatsoever, determined in accordance with the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

2.                                      Covered Termination.

(a)                                  Covered Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Covered Termination” means a Termination of Employment during the Covered Termination Period:

(i)                                   By the Executive for a Good Reason that is not remedied within the cure periods described in this Section 2(a); or

2

(ii)                                By the Bank, or by its successor in a Reorganization, without Cause;

provided, that in the case of a Termination of Employment by the Executive for Good Reason, the Executive must first provide written notice to the Bank within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of Good Reason describing the existence of such Good Reason, and the Bank shall thereafter have the right to remedy the Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the Bank’s receipt of such written notice. If the Bank remedies the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then no Good Reason shall be deemed to exist with respect to such condition. If the Bank does not remedy the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then the Executive may deliver a Notice of Termination for Good Reason at any time within sixty (60) days following the expiration of such cure period.

(b)                                 Non-Covered Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the following events shall result in any payment to the Executive for a Covered Termination under Section 3(a):

(i)                                   A Termination of Employment by the Executive without Good Reason;

(ii)                                A Termination of Employment for Cause by the Bank or its successor in a Reorganization;

(iii)                             A Termination of Employment without Cause that does not occur within the Covered Termination Period; or

(iv)                            A Termination of Employment due to death, disability (within the meaning of the Bank’s long-term disability plan) or a voluntary retirement.

3.                                      Payment for Covered Termination.

(a)                                  In the event of a Covered Termination, subject to the Executive’s execution of a Release Agreement no later than twenty-one (21) days (or, at the discretion of the Bank, up to forty-five (45) days) after the Executive’s Termination of Employment and non-revocation of such Release Agreement, the Bank shall pay the Executive an amount equal to one (1) times the annualized base salary of the Executive at the time of the Executive’s Termination of Employment with the Bank (or, if higher, upon an event constituting Good Reason). Such amount shall be distributed to the Executive in equal installments over twelve (12) months following the Termination of Employment, to be paid according to the Bank’s regular payroll cycle during such period.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 3(a), if the Bank is not in compliance with any applicable statutory or regulatory capital or leverage requirements or if the payment would cause the Bank to fall below applicable statutory or regulatory requirements, then such payments shall be deferred until such time as the Bank or any successor achieves compliance with its statutory and regulatory requirements. The Bank shall make such payments at the earliest date at which the Bank

3

reasonably anticipates that the making of the payments will not cause a violation of the statutory and regulatory requirements described in this paragraph.

(c)                                  The Executive shall be responsible for the payment of all federal, state and local income taxes which may be due with respect to any payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement.

(d)                                 The payment of severance benefits pursuant to this Section 3 shall be in lieu of any severance benefits that would otherwise be payable to the Executive under any severance plan or policy maintained by the Bank during the Covered Termination Period.

(e)                                  The Executive acknowledges that the Bank will comply with any applicable statutory and/or regulatory requirements relating to the payment of the amounts under this Section 3. Should a governmental authority, or a court upon application by a governmental authority, having jurisdiction over the matter direct that any portion or all of the amounts provided in this Section 3 may not be paid to the Executive by the Bank, the Executive agrees that (i) he will not be entitled to payments under this Section 3 to the extent that such payments would violate any statutory and/or regulatory requirements that apply to the Bank, and (ii) if previously paid, he will return to the Bank the amount of such payment specified in such order, without adjustment for investment earnings or losses, net of applicable taxes the Executive paid on such payment.  Such repayment shall be made to the Bank within fifteen (15) business days after written demand by the Bank is delivered to the Executive.  If any proceeding is commenced in which the legality of any of the payments made or to be made under this Agreement is at issue, the Bank will provide the Executive with written notice promptly after it has knowledge thereof.

4.                                      No Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to seek other employment, nor shall any payment made under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation received from other employment.

5.                                      Successor to the Bank.

(a)                                  This Agreement is binding upon the successors and assigns of the Bank. The Bank and its successors and assigns will require any successor or assign (whether direct or indirect, in a Reorganization, by operation of law, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Bank, to enter into a written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, expressly, absolutely and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place. In the event of a Covered Termination, the Bank agrees that it shall pay or shall cause such employer to pay any amounts owed to the Executive pursuant to Section 3 hereof.

4

As used in this Agreement, “Bank” shall mean the Bank as defined herein and any successor or assign to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 5 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law. If at any time during the term of this Agreement the Executive is employed by any corporation a majority of the voting securities of which is then owned by the Bank, the term “Bank” shall include such employer. Whether or not another entity becomes the successor or assign of the Bank under this Agreement, the maximum amount which the Executive may receive from all sources under this Agreement in a Covered Termination shall be the amounts set forth in Section 3 hereof.

(b)                                 This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal and legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, and legatees. If the Executive should die while any amounts are still payable to him hereunder, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the beneficiary designated by notice in writing executed by the Executive and filed with the Bank, or failing such designation, to the Executive’s estate.

6.                                      Employment Rights. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Executive any right to continue in the employ of the Bank and shall not in any way affect the right of the Bank to dismiss or otherwise terminate the Executive’s employment at any time and for any reason with or without cause. This Agreement is not intended (a) to be an employment agreement or (b) to define all aspects of the employment relationship between the Bank and the Executive, including but not limited to applicable employment or benefit policies of the Bank. To the extent there is any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any employment or benefit policies of the Bank, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

7.                                      Tax Withholding. The Bank will withhold from any amounts payable to the Executive under this Agreement to satisfy all applicable federal, state, local or other withholding taxes. All amounts payable under Section 3(a) are considered “wages” to be reported on Form W-2. The normal withholding rules for wages apply. To the extent required, the Bank will also withhold any excise taxes owed under Code Section 4999.

8.                                      Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand, delivered by a nationally-recognized overnight courier service, or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, as follows:
