If the Bank cures the Good Reason condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Company or its successor is a publicly traded company, then the Normal Benefit Date for any Executive who is a Specified Employee shall be 180 days following the Executive’s Separation from Service (other than due to death or Disability). |
| 1.21 | “Normal Benefit Form” means a Lump Sum payment. |
| 1.22 | “Participation Agreement” means the agreement between Executive and the Bank which sets forth the particulars of Executive’s Supplemental Benefit and/or other benefits to which Executive or Executive’s Beneficiary becomes entitled under the Plan. |

No Separation from Service shall be deemed to occur due to military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six months or, if longer, so long as Executive’s right to reemployment is provided by law or contract. If the leave exceeds six months and Executive’s right to reemployment is not provided by law or by contract, then Executive shall have a Separation from Service on the first date immediately following such six-month period. |
Whether a Separation from Service has occurred is determined based on whether the facts and circumstances indicate that the employer and employee reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services the employee would perform after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to less than 50% of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding 36 months (or such lesser period of time in which Executive performed services for the Bank). The determination of whether an Executive has had a Separation from Service shall be made by applying the presumptions set forth in the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 409A.
| 1.26 | “Specified Employee” means, in the event the Bank or any corporate parent is or becomes publicly traded, a “Key Employee” as such term is defined in Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph 5 thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event an Executive is a Specified Employee and becomes entitled to a payment hereunder due to Separation from Service for any reason (other than death or Disability), the payments to such Executive shall not commence until the first day of the seventh month following such Separation from Service. Whether and the extent to which a person is a Specified Employee shall be determined on the “Specified Employee Determination Date” which shall be December 31 of each calendar year and shall be applicable commencing on the following April 1, in accordance with the rules set forth in the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 409A. |
| 1.27 | “Spouse” means the individual to whom Executive is legally married at the time of Executive’s death, provided, however, that the term “Spouse” shall not refer to an individual to whom Executive is legally married at the time of death if Executive and such individual have entered into a formal separation agreement (provided that such separation agreement does not provide otherwise or state that such individual is entitled to a portion of the benefit hereunder) or initiated divorce proceedings. |
| 1.28 | “Treasury Regulations” means the final regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Code. |
| 1.29 | “Vesting Rate” shall be the rate at which an Executive becomes vested in his or her Yearly Benefit Amount. The Vesting Rate shall be specified in an Executive’s Participation Agreement. |
| 1.30 | “Yearly Benefit Amount” means an amount payable as a fixed annual payment for fifteen (15) years. |
| 1.31 | “Year of Service” shall mean, with respect to each Executive, the consecutive twelve month period of employment from the Executive’s date of hire, and each consecutive twelve month period of employment thereafter. |

SECTION II
ESTABLISHMENT OF RABBI TRUST
The Bank may establish a rabbi trust into which the Bank may contribute assets which shall be held therein, subject to the claims of the Bank’s creditors in the event of the Bank’s “Insolvency” as defined in the agreement which establishes such rabbi trust, until the contributed assets are paid to Executives and their Beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in this Plan. Contributions to a rabbi trust would provide the Bank with a source of funds to assist it in meeting the liabilities of this Plan. To the extent the language in this Plan is modified by the language in the rabbi trust agreement, the rabbi trust agreement shall supersede this Plan. Contributions to the rabbi trust may be made during each Plan Year in accordance with the rabbi trust agreement. It is expected that the amount of such contribution(s), if any, would be equal to the full present value of all benefit accruals under this Plan, if any, less: (i) previous contributions made on behalf of Executive to the rabbi trust, and (ii) earnings to date on all such previous contributions. In the event of a Change in Control, the Bank shall transfer to the rabbi trust within thirty (30) days prior to such Change in Control, the present value (applying the Interest Factor applicable to a Change in Control) of an amount sufficient to fully fund the Yearly Benefit Amount for each Executive covered by this Plan.
SECTION III
BENEFITS

If Executive has a Separation from Service on or after Benefit Age, Executive shall be entitled to the Yearly Benefit Amount specified in the Participation Agreement.

SECTION VI
ACT PROVISIONS
| 6.1 | Named Fiduciary and Administrator. The Bank shall be the Named Fiduciary and Administrator of this Plan. As Administrator, the Bank shall be responsible for the management, control and administration of the Plan as established herein. The Administrator may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operational responsibilities of the Plan, including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals. |
| 6.2 | Claims Procedure and Arbitration. In the event that benefits under this Plan are not paid to Executive (or to his Beneficiary in the case of Executive’s death) and such claimants feel they are entitled to receive such benefits, then a written claim must be made to the Administrator within sixty (60) days from the date payments are refused. The Administrator shall review the written claim and, if the claim is denied, in whole or in part, they shall provide in writing, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such claim, their specific reasons for such denial, reference to the |
8
| provisions of this Plan or the Participation Agreement upon which the denial is based, and any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim. Such writing by the Administrator shall further indicate the additional steps which must be undertaken by claimants if an additional review of the claim denial is desired. |
If claimants desire a second review, they shall notify the Administrator in writing within thirty (30) days of the first claim denial. Claimants may review this Plan, the Participation Agreement or any documents relating thereto and submit any issues and comments, in writing, they may feel appropriate. In its sole discretion, the Administrator shall then review the second claim and provide a written decision within thirty (30) days of receipt of such claim. This decision shall state the specific reasons for the decision and shall include reference to specific provisions of this Plan or the Participation Agreement upon which the decision is based.
If claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon completed performance of this Plan and the Participation Agreement or the meaning and effect of the terms and conditions thereof, it shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
SECTION VII
MISCELLANEOUS
| 7.1 | No Effect on Employment Rights. Nothing contained herein will confer upon Executive the right to be retained in the service of the Bank nor limit the right of the Bank to discharge or otherwise deal with Executive without regard to the existence of the Plan. |
| 7.2 | Governing Law. The Plan is established under, and will be construed according to, the laws of the State of New York, to the extent such laws are not preempted by the Act or the Code and valid regulations published thereunder. |
| 7.3 | Severability and Interpretation of Provisions. In the event that any of the provisions of this Plan or portion hereof are held to be inoperative or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, or in the event that any provision is found to violate Code Section 409A and would subject Executive to additional taxes and interest on the amounts deferred hereunder, or in the event that any legislation adopted by any governmental body having jurisdiction over the Bank would be retroactively applied to invalidate this Plan or any provision hereof or cause the benefits hereunder to be taxable, then: (1) insofar as is reasonable, effect will be given to the intent manifested in the provisions held invalid or inoperative, and (2) the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby. In the event that the intent of any provision shall need to be construed in a manner to avoid taxability, such construction shall be made by the Administrator in a manner that would manifest to the maximum extent possible the original meaning of such provisions. |
| 7.4 | Incapacity of Recipient. In the event Executive is declared incompetent and a conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or Estate is appointed, any benefits under the Plan to which such Executive is entitled shall be paid to such conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or Estate. |
| 7.5 | Unclaimed Benefit. Executive shall keep the Bank informed of his or her current address and the current address of his Beneficiaries. If the location of Executive is not made known to the Bank, the Bank shall delay payment of Executive’s benefit payment(s) until the location of Executive is |
9
| made known to the Bank; however, the Bank shall only be obligated to hold such benefit payment(s) for Executive until the expiration of three (3) years. Upon expiration of the three (3) year period, the Bank may discharge its obligation by payment to Executive’s Beneficiary. If the location of Executive’s Beneficiary is not known to the Bank, Executive and his Beneficiary(ies) shall thereupon forfeit any rights to the balance, if any, of any benefits provided for such Executive and/or Beneficiary under this Plan. |
| 7.6 | Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as an employee or agent of the Bank, or as a member of the Board of the Bank shall be personally liable to Executive or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan. |
| 7.7 | Gender. Whenever in this Plan words are used in the masculine or neuter gender, they shall be read and construed as in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, whenever they should so apply. |
| 7.8 | Effect on Other Corporate Benefit Plans. Nothing contained in this Plan shall affect the right of Executive to participate in or be covered by any qualified or nonqualified pension, profit sharing, group, bonus or other supplemental compensation or fringe benefit agreement constituting a part of the Bank’s existing or future compensation structure. |
| 7.9 | Inurement. This Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank, its successors and assigns, and Executive, his successors, heirs, executors, administrators, and Beneficiaries. |
| 7.10 | Acceleration of Payments. Except as specifically permitted herein or in other sections of this Plan, no acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment may be made hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments may be accelerated hereunder by the Bank, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) and any subsequent guidance issued by the United States Treasury Department. Accordingly, payments may be accelerated, in accordance with requirements and conditions of the Treasury Regulations (or subsequent guidance) in the following circumstances: (i) as a result of certain domestic relations orders; (ii) in compliance with ethics agreements with the Federal Government; (iii) in compliance with ethics laws or conflicts of interest laws; (iv) in limited cash-outs (but not in excess of the limit under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B)); (v) in the case of certain distributions to avoid a non-allocation year under Code Section 409(p); (vi) to apply certain offsets in satisfaction of a debt of Executive to the Bank; (vii) in satisfaction of certain bona fide disputes between Executive and the Bank; or (viii) for any other purpose set forth in the Treasury Regulations and subsequent guidance. |
| 7.11 | Headings. Headings and sub-headings in this Plan are inserted for reference and convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of this Plan. |
| 7.12 | 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k). Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Plan or otherwise are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. Part 359 Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments or any other rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. |
| 7.13 | Payment of Employment and Code Section 409A Taxes. Any distribution under this Plan shall be reduced by the amount of any taxes required to be withheld from such distribution. This Plan shall permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of a payment to pay employment-related |
10
| taxes as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j) or to pay any taxes that may become due at any time that the arrangement fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder. In the latter case, such payments shall not exceed the amount required to be included in income as the result of the failure to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A. |
| 7.14 | Non-Competition. The benefits provided to Executives under this Plan are specifically conditioned on each Executive’s covenant that, for a period of one (1) year following the Executive’s Separation from Service with the Bank (other than following a Change in Control), the Executive will not, without the written consent of the Bank, either directly or indirectly: |
| (a) | compete with the Bank for a period of twelve (12) months following such termination in any city, town or county in which the Executive’s normal business office is located and the Bank or the Company has an office or have filed an application for regulatory approval to establish an office, determined as of the Termination Date, except as agreed to pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board. the Executive agrees that during such period and within said cities, towns and counties, the Executive shall not work for or advise, consult or otherwise serve with, directly or indirectly, any entity whose business materially competes with the depository, lending or other business activities of the Bank or its affiliates. |
| (b) | (i) hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Bank, assist in such hiring by any other person, or encourage any such employee to terminate his or her relationship with the Bank, or (ii) solicit business from any customer of the Bank or their subsidiaries, divert or attempt to divert any business from the Bank or their subsidiaries, or induce, attempt to induce, or assist others in inducing or attempting to induce any agent, customer or supplier of the Bank or any other person or entity associated or doing business with the Bank (or proposing to become associated or to do business with the Bank) to terminate such person’s or entity’s relationship with the Bank (or to refrain from becoming associated with or doing business with the Bank) or in any other manner to interfere with the relationship between the Bank and any such person or entity. |
In the event that the Executive competes in violation of this provision, all amounts payable to Executive hereunder shall cease and any amounts previously paid shall be reimbursed to the Bank within thirty (30) days of the Bank’s notification to Executive that this provision has been violated.

This Plan may be amended or modified at any time, provided, however, that no such amendment may serve to reduce the vested portion of the Yearly Benefit Amount of any Executive, and provided further, that no amendment or modification shall be valid if it violates Code Section 409A, as in effect at the time of such amendment or modification. |

| 8.2 | Termination of Plan. Subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, in the event of complete termination of the Plan, the Plan shall cease to operate and the Bank shall pay out to Executive his benefit as if Executive had terminated employment as of the effective date of the complete termination. Such complete termination of the Plan shall occur only under the following circumstances and conditions: |
(a) The Board may terminate the Plan within 12 months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331, or with approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts deferred under the Plan (e.g., the vested portion of the Yearly Benefit Amount) are included in Executive’s gross income in the latest of (i) the calendar year in which the Plan terminates; (ii) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or (iii) the first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable.
(b) The Board may terminate the Plan by Board action taken within the 30 days preceding a Change in Control (but not following a Change in Control), provided that the Plan shall only be treated as terminated if all substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Bank are terminated so that Executive and all participants under substantially similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within 12 months of the date of the termination of the arrangements. Following the termination of the Plan, the amount payable to Executive shall be the amount to which Executive is entitled upon a Change in Control, as set forth in Executive’s Participation Agreement.
