WHEREAS, on July 18, 2007 the Company and Employee entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Agreement”) in connection with the grant of _________ shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Shares”) to Employee.
WHEREAS, the terms of the Agreement provided that all of the shares will fully vest on January 16, 2011 (“Vesting Date”) if the Company’s return on average tangible equity performance during the calendar year beginning on January 1, 2007 and ending on December 31, 2010 (the “Performance Period”) is within the Top Quartile of the financial performance of certain peer financial institutions.
WHEREAS, the Agreement provides that the Company’s return on average equity for the Performance Period be within the Top Quartile as measured in comparison to the financial performance of the Company’s peer group return on average tangible equity performance for the twelve month period beginning on October 1, 2006 and ending on September 30, 2010.
WHEREAS, in view of significant economic circumstances which have adversely impacted the banking and financial sectors of the United States economy the Company’s Compensation Committee desires to modify the Agreement in order to align the Company’s and the peer group Performance Periods and change the date on which the Shares awarded under the Agreements either vest or lapse.
WHEREAS, the Company’s Compensation Committee desires to amend the Agreement to change the vesting or lapse date to March 1, 2011 and to align the Performance Period for the Company and the peer financial institutions so that both Performance Periods begin on January 1, 2007 and end on December 31, 2010.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the parties covenants and agrees as follows:
