 past three years short term bonus pay, or approximately $1,015,225 at December 31, 2024, payable in 12 monthly installments beginning on the first day of the month following her termination. If Ms. Stewart breaches any of the covenants contained in the Amended Non-Compete Agreement, her right to any of the payments specified above after the date of the breach shall be forever forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under her Amended Non-Compete Agreement, if Ms. Stewart’s employment with the Bank is involuntarily terminated or she terminates her employment with the Bank for good reason at any time within 24 months following a change in control, Ms. Stewart will be entitled to receive an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate of the sum of her then-base salary plus the average of her past three years’ short term bonus, payable in a lump sum.

Change in Control Agreement. We have entered into change in control agreements with a number of our officers, including Ms. Sexton and Mr. Ochs. These agreements remain in effect until canceled by either party, upon at least 12 months prior written notice to the other party.

Under the terms of the change in control agreement, the executive is entitled to a change of control payment from the Company if he or she is involuntary terminated (as defined in the agreement) concurrently with or within 12 months following a change in control (as defined in the agreement). In such an event, the executive is entitled to receive a cash payment equal to two times his or her then current annual base salary. The change in control agreements also provide that for a period ending at the earlier of (i) twenty-four (24) months after the effective date of the executive’s termination or (ii) the date of the executive’s full time employment by another employer that provides substantially similar benefits, at no premium cost to the executive, the Company shall maintain the same group health benefits and other group insurance and group retirement benefits as the executive would have received had he or she continued to be employed by the Company and/or the Bank, to the extent that the Company and the Bank can do so under the terms of applicable plans as are maintained by the Company and the Bank for the benefit of its executive officers from time to time. All of the above payments that would be made in connection with a change of control are subject to cut-back to the extent the payments are deemed “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the IRC.
