     WHEREAS, on September 14, 2006, Park, the Bank and the Executive entered into a certain Employment Agreement for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Agreement”); and

     WHEREAS, Park, the Bank and the Executive desire to amend the Agreement in order to clarify certain of its provisions; and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 18 of the Agreement, the Agreement may be amended by mutual written agreement of the parties;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows, intending to be legally bound hereby:

     1. New Section 20. Park, the Bank and the Executive hereby amend the Agreement by adding new Section 20 to the Agreement to read, in its entirety, as follows:

     20. Regulatory Limits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Park, the Employer and the Executive acknowledge and agree that any payments made to the Executive by the Employer pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with the provisions of 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k) and Part 359 of the FDIC’s regulations (12 C.F.R. Part 359), which provisions contain certain prohibitions and limitations on the making of “golden parachute” and certain indemnification payments by FDIC-insured depository institutions and their holding companies. In the event any payments to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement are prohibited or limited by the provisions of 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k) and/or Part 359 of the FDIC’s regulations, the Employer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the appropriate regulatory authorities to the payment by the Employer to the Executive of the maximum amount that is permitted (up to the amount payable under the terms of this Agreement).

     2. Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
