A Participant may not modify his Participation Agreement to change the amount deferred or the manner of payment, except with respect to amounts to be earned in subsequent calendar years by executing a new Participation Agreement prior to the beginning of the calendar year in which such modification is to become effective. Any such modification shall have no effect upon amounts deferred or to be deferred through the effective date of such modification, which shall be payable only in accordance with the terms of the Participation Agreement and this Plan.
     3.03. Termination of Participation. A Participant may revoke his Participation Agreement by filing a Notice of Termination of Election on a form prescribed by the Committee, which shall become effective as of the beginning of the calendar year following the date such revocation is filed with the Committee. Thereafter the Participant may again make new deferrals, if he is then eligible, by executing a new Participation Agreement to defer amounts to be earned in subsequent years, provided that such Participation Agreement is filed with the Committee prior to the beginning of the calendar year in which it is to become effective.
ARTICLE IV. DEFERRED COMPENSATION
     4.01. Deferral of Bonuses by Officers. An Officer eligible to participate may elect to defer all or any portion of the bonus (a “Bonus Deferral Amount”) which he is awarded with respect to any calendar year if (a) for the short Plan Year, he files his Participation Agreement within 30 days of the date the Bank executes the Plan and (b) for all subsequent Plan Years, he files his Participation Agreement on or before December 31 of the Plan Year preceding the Plan

4


 

Year with respect to which such Bonus is declared. The amount of such Bonus to be deferred shall be specified by the Officer in his Participation Agreement.
     4.02. Deferral of Fees by Directors. A Director eligible to participate may elect to defer all or any portion of the Director’s fee (a “Director’s Fee Deferral Amount”) he is eligible to receive for a Plan Year if (a) for the short Plan Year, he files his Participation Agreement within 30 days of the date the Bank executes the Plan and (b) for all subsequent Plan Years, he files his Participation Agreement on or before December 31 of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year with respect to which such Fee is earned and payable. The amount of such Fee to be deferred shall be specified by the Director in his Participation Agreement.
ARTICLE V. ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENTS
     5.01. Establishment of Accounts. The Bank shall establish on its books a Deferred Benefit Account for each Participant which shall consist of a Bonus Deferral Subaccount and/or a Director’s Fee Deferral Subaccount, as applicable. Upon deferral of any Bonus Deferral Amount, the Bank shall make a memorandum credit to the Bonus Deferral Subaccount under the Participant’s Deferred Benefit Account to indicate the amount of such deferral and upon deferral of any Director’s Fee Deferral Amount, the Bank shall make a memorandum credit to the Director’s Fee Deferral Subaccount under the Participant’s Deferred Benefit Account to indicate the amount of such deferral.

ARTICLE VI. BENEFITS
     6.01. Benefit upon Officer’s Normal Retirement, Disability and Termination of Employment or Director’s Cessation of Service as a Director. Upon an Officer’s (a) retirement from the Bank after reaching Normal Retirement Age, (b) Disability, or (c) termination of employment from the Bank, he shall be entitled to a Deferred Benefit equal to the amount of the Bonus Deferral Subaccount under his Deferred Benefit Account, determined in accordance with Sections 6.01 and 6.02 as of the first day of the month following the date the Participant is eligible to receive benefits under this Plan. Upon the cessation of a Director’s service as a

5


 

Director of the Bank and the Holding Company, he shall be entitled to a Deferred Benefit equal to the amount of the Director’s Fee Deferral Subaccount under his Deferred Benefit Account, determined in accordance with Sections 6.01 and 6.02 as of the first day of the month following the date the Participant is eligible to receive benefits under this Plan.
     6.02. Method of Payment of Benefits. Deferred Benefits shall be paid to a Participant in 1 lump sum or in substantially equal annual installments over such period of time (not to exceed 15 years), as elected by the Participant. The form of payment for any amounts deferred, shall be as set forth in a 1-time, irrevocable election made by the Participant on a form to be provided by the Committee. Such election shall be made prior to the beginning of the first period for which the Director’s Fee Deferral Amount or Bonus Deferral Amount, as applicable, is to be deferred hereunder. Prior to December 31, 2008, Participant may change his or her election with respect to the form of payment provided that both of the following conditions are met: (1) the change does not result in the acceleration into 2008 a payment that would otherwise have been made in 2009 or later; and (2) the change does not result in the delay of a payment that would have been made in 2008 until 2009 or later. After December 31, 2008, the Participant may change his or her election with respect to the form of payment only if (i) such election cannot take effect for at least 12 months after it is made; (ii) except for distributions upon the Participant’s death the election must defer the first scheduled payment for at least 5 years; and (iii) with respect to payments to be made at a specified time or pursuant to a specified schedule, the election must be made at least 12 months before the first scheduled payment.
     6.03. Death. If a Participant dies after the commencement of payment of any portion of his Deferred Benefit, his Beneficiary shall receive 1 lump sum payment equal to the sum of the remaining installments of the Participant’s Deferred Benefit within 30 days after the date of Participant’s death. If a Participant dies while employed and prior to receipt of any portion of any of his Deferred Benefit, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall receive the balance of the Participant’s Deferred Benefit Account in 1 lump sum within 30 days after the date of Participant’s death.
     6.04. Commencement of Payments.
          (a) Bonus Deferral Amounts. The first payment to a Participant from his Bonus Deferral Subaccount (whether in the form of an installment payment or as a lump sum payment) shall be made no later than January 31 of the calendar year following the year of an Officer’s (i) retirement from the Bank after reaching Normal Retirement age, (ii) Disability or (iii) termination of employment. Payment of subsequent installments, if applicable, shall be made no later than January 31 of the year in which such payment is due. The amount of each installment shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount in the Bonus Deferral Subaccount under the Participant’s Deferred Benefit Account as of January 1 of the Plan Year by (ii) the number of installment payments elected by the Participant minus the number of installment payments previously made on behalf of the Participant from his Bonus Deferral Subaccount. The balance shall be appropriately reduced to reflect the installment payments made hereunder. In the event of death, payment of remaining installments shall be made in accordance with Section 6.03, in a lump sum. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Committee may require minimum annual installment payments of $1,000.00.

6


 

          (b) Director’s Fee Deferral Amounts. The first payment to a Participant from his Director’s Fee Deferral Subaccount (whether in the form of an installment payment or as a lump sum payment) shall be made no later than January 31 of the calendar year following the year of his cessation of service as a Director of both the Holding Company and the Bank. Payment of subsequent installments, if applicable, shall be made no later than January 31 of the year in which such payment is due. The amount of each installment shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the amount in the Director’s Fee Deferral Subaccount under the Participant’s Deferred Benefit Account as of January 1 of the Plan Year by (ii) the number of installment payments elected by the Participant minus the number of installment payments previously made on behalf of the Participant from his Director’s Fee Deferral Subaccount. The balance shall be appropriately reduced to reflect the installment payments made hereunder. In the event of death, payment of remaining installments shall be made as elected by the Participant. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Committee may require minimum annual installment payments of $1,000.00.
          (c) Restriction on Timing of Distribution. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant is considered a Specified Employee at Separation from Service under such procedures as established by the Bank in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, benefit distributions that are made upon Separation from Service may not, to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, commence earlier than six (6) months after the date of such Separation from Service. Therefore, in the event this Article VI, Section (c) is applicable to the Participant, any distribution or series of distributions to be made due to a Separation from Service shall commence no earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the Separation from Service, provided that to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, only payments scheduled to be paid during the first six (6) months after the date of such Separation from Service shall be delayed and such delayed payments shall be paid in a single sum on the first day of the seventh month following the date of such Separation from Service.
ARTICLE VII. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
     7.01. Amendment by Board. The Board may at any time amend the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 8.02, no amendment shall decrease or restrict any Deferred Benefit Account at the time of such amendment.
     7.02. Board’s Right to Terminate. The Board may at any time terminate the Plan with respect to new elections to defer if, in its judgment, the continuance of the Plan, the tax, accounting, or other effects thereof, or potential payments thereunder would not be in the best interests of the Bank. The Board may also terminate the Plan in its entirety at any time, and upon any such termination, each Participant (and Beneficiary) who is then receiving a Deferred Benefit shall be paid the then remaining balance in his Deferred Benefit Account, as elected by the Participant; and, each Participant who has not received a payment of his Deferred Benefit shall be paid as elected by the Participant in accordance with this Plan.
     7.03. Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Plan may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. If the Plan is not terminated upon a

7


 

Change in Control, all Participation Agreements filed with Committee prior to such Change in Control shall remain in effect without modification.
     7.04. ERISA Compliance. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article VII to the contrary, the Bank may amend or modify the Plan in any respect which shall be necessary or advisable in order that the benefits provided by the Plan shall constitute unfunded deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees as described in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
     7.05. Distributions Upon Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary of this Article VII, distributions following termination of the Plan shall be made in the same time and manner specified in the Plan except to the extent provided by Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder, including, not by way of limitation, Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(A)-(D).
ARTICLE VIII. MISCELLANEOUS
     8.01. Unfunded Plan. The undertakings of the Bank herein to each Participant constitute merely the unsecured promise to make the payments as provided for herein and it is the Bank’s intention that the Plan be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. Neither a Participant nor any Beneficiary nor any other person shall have, by reason of this Plan, any rights, title or interest of any kind in or to any property of the Bank, nor any beneficial interest in any trust which may be established by the Bank in connection with this Plan. If the Bank transfers any property to a trust in connection with this Plan such trust shall not be held for the exclusive benefit of Participants, and any assets held in such trust shall be subject to the claims of the Bank’s general creditors in the event of the Bank’s insolvency or bankruptcy.
     8.02. Compliance with Section 409A. This Plan shall at all times be administered and the provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and any and all regulations thereunder, including such regulations as may be promulgated after the Effective Date of this Plan.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank, by its officers duly authorized, has executed this document this 31st day of December, 2008.
