Agreement. Unless extended as provided in this Section 2, this Agreement shall
terminate on June 30, 2008. Prior to July 1, 2008 and each July 1 thereafter,
the Board of Directors of the Employer shall consider and review (after taking
into account all relevant factors, including the Executive’s performance

Directors of the Employer elects not to extend the term, it shall give written

3.             Compensation and Benefits.

 

(a)           Base Salary. The Employer shall compensate and pay the Executive
for his services during the term of this Agreement at a minimum base salary of
$155,831 per year (“Base Salary”), which may be increased from time to time in
such amounts as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Employer and

addition to his Base Salary, the Executive shall be entitled to receive during
the term of this Agreement such bonus payments as may be determined by the Board
of Directors of the Employer.

other retirement benefit plan, profit sharing, stock option, employee stock
ownership, or other plans, benefits and privileges given to employees and
executives of the Employer, to the extent commensurate with his then duties and
responsibilities, as fixed by the Board of Directors of the Employer. The
Employer shall not make any changes in such plans, benefits or privileges which
would adversely affect the Executive’s rights or benefits thereunder, unless
such change occurs pursuant to a program applicable to all executive officers of
the Employer and does not result in a disproportionately greater adverse change
in the rights of or benefits to the Executive as compared with any other
executive officer of the Employer. Nothing paid to the Executive under any plan
or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be
deemed to be in lieu of the salary payable to the Executive pursuant to Section
3(a) hereof.

 

(c)           Paid Time Off. During the term of this Agreement, the Executive
shall be entitled to paid time off in accordance with the policies as
established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Employer. The

Employer for failure to utilize such paid time off, nor shall the Executive be
able to accumulate unused paid time off from one year to the next, except to the
extent authorized by the Board of Directors of the Employer.

 

4.             Expenses. The Employer shall reimburse the Executive or otherwise
provide for or pay for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Executive in
furtherance of or in connection with the business of the Employer, including,
but not by way of limitation, automobile expenses and other traveling expenses,
subject to such reasonable documentation and other limitations as may be
established by the Board of Directors of the Employer. If such expenses are paid
in the first instance by the Executive, the Employer shall reimburse the
Executive therefor. Such reimbursement shall be paid promptly by the Employer
and in any event no later than March 15 of the year immediately following the
year in which such expenses were incurred.

 

5.             Termination.

 

(a)           General. The Employer shall have the right, at any time upon prior
Notice of Termination, to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for any
reason, including without

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

limitation termination for Cause, Disability or Retirement, and the Executive
shall have the right, upon prior Notice of Termination, to terminate his
employment hereunder for any reason.

 

(b)           For Cause. In the event that the Executive’s employment is
terminated by the Employer for Cause, the Executive shall have no right pursuant
to this Agreement to compensation or other benefits for any period after the
applicable Date of Termination.

 

(c)           Voluntary Termination by the Executive. In the event the Executive
terminates his employment hereunder other than for death, Disability,

other benefits for any period after the Date of Termination.

 

(e)           Disability. In the event the Executive’s employment hereunder is
terminated due to Disability, the Executive shall be entitled to receive any
disability benefits provided under any disability plan maintained by the
Employer. Other than as set forth above, the Executive shall have no right
pursuant to this Agreement to compensation or other benefits for any period
after the Date of Termination.

 

(f)            Retirement. In the event the Executive’s employment hereunder is
terminated due to Retirement, the Executive shall have no right pursuant to this
Agreement to compensation or other benefits for any period after the Date of
Termination.

 

(g)           Involuntary Termination. In the event that (i) the Executive’s
employment is terminated by the Employer for other than Cause, Disability,
Retirement or the Executive’s death or (ii) such employment is terminated by the
Executive for Good Reason, then the Employer shall pay to the Executive, within
thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination, a cash severance amount
equal to one times the Executive’s current Base Salary; provided, however, that
this Section 5(g) shall not be applicable if the termination of employment
occurs concurrently with or subsequent to a Change in Control.

 

(h)           Change in Control Termination. In the event that (i) the
Executive’s employment is terminated concurrently with or within twelve (12)
months following a Change in Control for other than Cause, Disability,
Retirement or the Executive’s death or (ii) the Executive elects to terminate
his employment for Good Reason, then the Employer shall, subject to the

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(B)           maintain and provide for a period ending at the earlier of (i) one
year subsequent to the Date of Termination or (ii) the date of the Executive’s
full-time employment by another employer (provided that the Executive is
entitled under the terms of such employment to benefits substantially similar to
those described in this subparagraph (B)), at no cost to the Executive, the
Executive’s continued participation in all group insurance, life insurance,
health and accident insurance, and disability insurance offered by the Employer
in which the Executive was participating immediately prior to the Date of
Termination; provided that any insurance premiums payable by the Employer or any
successors pursuant to this Section 5(h)(B) shall be payable at such times and
in such amounts as if the Executive was still an employee of the Employer,
subject to any increases in such amounts imposed by the insurance company or
COBRA, and the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by the Employer
in any taxable year shall not affect the amount of insurance premiums required
to be paid by the Employer in any other taxable year; and provided further that
if the Executive’s participation in any group insurance plan is barred, the
Employer shall either arrange to provide the Executive with insurance benefits
substantially similar to those which the Executive was entitled to receive under
such group insurance plan or, if such coverage cannot be obtained, pay a lump
sum cash equivalency amount within thirty (30) days following the Date of
Termination based on the annualized rate of premiums being paid by the Employer
as of the Date of Termination; and

 

(C)           pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within thirty (30) days
following the Date of Termination, a cash amount equal to the projected cost to
the Employer of providing benefits to the Executive for a period of twelve (12)
months pursuant to any other employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements
offered by the Employer in which the Executive was entitled to participate
immediately prior to the Date of Termination (excluding (y) stock option plans,
restricted stock plans and employee stock ownership plans of the Employer and
(z) bonuses and other items of cash compensation), with the projected cost to
the Employer to be based on the costs incurred for the calendar year immediately
preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs and with any
automobile-related costs to exclude any depreciation on Bank-owned automobiles.

 

6.             Limitation of Benefits under Certain Circumstances. If the
payments and benefits pursuant to Section 5 hereof, either alone or together
with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive
from the Employer and its affiliates, would constitute a “parachute payment”
under Section 280G of the Code, then the payments and benefits payable by the
Employer pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall be reduced by the minimum amount
necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits payable by the
Employer under Section 5 being non-deductible to the Employer pursuant to
Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section
4999 of the Code. If the payments and benefits under Section 5 are required to
be reduced, the cash severance shall be reduced first, followed by a reduction
in the fringe benefits. The determination of any reduction in the payments and
benefits to be made pursuant to Section 5 shall be based upon the opinion of
independent counsel selected by the Employer and paid by the Employer. Such
counsel shall promptly prepare the foregoing opinion, but in no event later than
thirty (30) days from the Date of Termination, and may use such actuaries as
such counsel deems necessary or advisable for the purpose. Nothing contained in
this Section 6 shall result in a reduction

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of any payments or benefits to which the Executive may be entitled upon
termination of employment under any circumstances other than as specified in
this Section 6, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified in Section
5 below zero.

 

7.             Mitigation; Exclusivity of Benefits.

 

(a)           The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
benefits hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the
amount of any such benefits be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Executive as a result of employment by another employer after the Date of
Termination or otherwise, except as set forth in Section 5(h)(B)(ii) hereof.

 

(b)           The specific arrangements referred to herein are not intended to
exclude any other benefits which may be available to the Executive upon a
termination of employment with the Employer pursuant to employee benefit plans
of the Employer or otherwise.

 

8.             Withholding. All payments required to be made by the Employer
hereunder to the Executive shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts,
if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Employer may
reasonably determine should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation.

 

9.             Competitive Activities.

 

(a)           The Executive agrees and acknowledges that by virtue of his
employment hereunder, he will maintain an intimate knowledge of the activities
and affairs of the Employer, including trade secrets, plans, business plans,
strategies, projections, market studies, customer information, employee records
and other internal proprietary and confidential information and matters
(collectively “Confidential Information”). As a result, and also because of the
special, unique and extraordinary services that the Executive is capable of
performing for the Employer or one of its competitors, the Executive recognizes
that the services to be rendered by him hereunder are of a character giving them
a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be adequately or reasonably
compensated for by damages.

 

(b)           Except for the purpose of carrying out his duties hereunder, the
Executive will not remove or retain, or make copies or reproductions of, any
figures, documents, records, discs, computer records, calculations, letters,
papers, or recorded or documented information of any type or description
relating to the business of the Employer. The Executive agrees that he will not
divulge to others any information (whether or not documented or recorded) or
data acquired by him while in the Employer’s employ relating to methods,
processes or other trade secrets or other Confidential Information.

 

(c)           The Executive agrees that the Employer is, and shall be, the sole
and exclusive owner of all improvements, ideas and suggestions, whether or not
subject to patent or trademark protection, and all copyrightable materials which
are conceived by the Executive during his employment, which relate to the
business of the Employer, which are confidential, or which are not readily
ascertainable from persons or other sources outside the Employer.

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(d)           Unless the Executive’s employment is terminated in connection with
or following a Change in Control, then for a period of one year after the
termination of employment, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly,
solicit, induce, encourage or attempt to influence any client, customer or
employee of the Employer to cease to do business with, or to terminate any
employee’s employment with, the Employer. The Executive shall not be subject to
any of the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence if the Executive’s
employment is terminated in connection with or following a Change in Control.

 

(e)           The Executive agrees that during the term of his employment
hereunder, except with the express consent of the Employer, he will not,
directly or indirectly, engage or participate in, become a director of, or
render advisory or other services for, or in connection with, or become
interested in, or make any financial investment in any firm, corporation,
business entity or business enterprise competitive with or to any business of
the Employer; provided, however, that the Executive shall not thereby be
precluded or prohibited from owning passive investments, including investments
in the securities of other financial institutions, so long as such ownership
does not require him to devote substantial time to management or control of the
business or activities in which he has invested. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement, the
Executive shall have no employment contract or other written or oral agreement
concerning employment as an officer of a savings bank or any other financial
institution or financial institution holding company nor with any other entity
or person other than the Bank or the Corporation. The provisions of this Section
9(e) shall not be applicable if the Executive’s employment is terminated in
connection with or following a Change in Control.

 

(f)            The Employer shall be entitled to immediate injunctive or other
equitable relief to restrain the Executive from failing to comply with any
obligation under this Section 9 or from rendering his services to persons or
entities than the Employer, in addition to any other remedies to which the
Employer may be entitled under law. The right to such injunctive or other
equitable relief shall survive the termination by the Employer of the
Executive’s employment.

 

(g)           The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this
Section 9 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of
the Employer and that any violation thereof would result in irreparable injuries
to the Employer. The Executive acknowledges that, if the Executive violates any
of these restrictions, the Employer is entitled to obtain from any court of
competent jurisdiction, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as
damages, and an equitable accounting of any earnings, profits and other benefits
arising from such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to
any other rights or remedies to which the Employer may be entitled. The
Executive further acknowledges that the provisions of Sections 9(a), (b), (c),
(f) and (g) shall remain in full force and effect beyond the termination of the
Executive’s employment for any reason, including but not limited to termination
in connection with or following a Change in Control.

 

10.          Assignability. The Employer may assign this Agreement and its
rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any corporation,
bank or other entity with or into which the Employer may hereafter merge or
consolidate or to which the Employer may transfer all or

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said corporation, bank or
other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume all
obligations of the Employer hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made
a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights and
obligations hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement
or any rights or obligations hereunder.

 

11.          Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by first-class certified

waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to
in writing and signed by the Executive and such officer or officers as may be
specifically designated by the Board of Directors of the Employer to sign on its
behalf. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by any other
party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this
Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of
similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or
subsequent time. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Employer may amend in good faith any terms of this Agreement,
including retroactively, in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States

require the Employer to create a trust of any kind to fund any benefits which
may be payable hereunder, and to the extent that the Executive acquires a right
to receive benefits from the Employer hereunder, such right shall be no greater
than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer.

statutory or regulatory provision shall be deemed to be a reference to such
section as amended, re-numbered or replaced.

 

18.          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which

agreements between a savings association and its employees pursuant to Section
563.39(b) of the Regulations Applicable to All Savings Associations, 12 C.F.R.
§563.39(b), or any successor thereto, and shall be controlling in the event of a
conflict with any other provision of this Agreement, including without
limitation Section 5 hereof.

 

(a)           The Bank’s Board of Directors may terminate the Executive’s
employment at any time, but any termination by the Bank’s Board of Directors,
other than termination for Cause, shall not prejudice the Executive’s right to
compensation or other benefits under this Agreement.

 

(b)           If the Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily
prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by a
notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or Section 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act (“FDIA”) (12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(3) and 1818(g)(1)), the Employer’s
obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service,
unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are
dismissed, the Employer may, in its discretion:  (i) pay the Executive all or
part of the compensation withheld while its obligations under this Agreement
were suspended, and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations
which were suspended.

Employer as of the date of termination shall not be affected.

 

(e)           All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant
to 12 C.F.R. §563.39(b)(5), except to the extent that it is determined that
continuation of the Agreement for the continued operation of the Employer is
necessary:  (i) by the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), or
his/her designee, at the time the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under
the

 

10

his/her designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to
operation of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director of the OTS
to be in an unsafe or unsound condition, but vested rights of the Executive and
the Employer as of the date of termination shall not be affected.

 

20.          Regulatory Prohibition. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, any payments made to the Executive pursuant to this
Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance
with Section 18(k) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. §1828(k)) and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, including 12 C.F.R. Part 359. In the event of the
Executive’s termination of employment with the Bank for Cause, all employment
relationships and managerial duties with the Bank shall immediately cease
regardless of whether the Executive remains in the employ of the Corporation
following such termination. Furthermore, following such termination for Cause,
the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, influence or participate in the
affairs or the operations of the Bank.

 

21.          Payment of Costs and Legal Fees and Reinstatement of Benefits. In
the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with the
Executive’s termination is resolved in favor of the Executive, whether by
judgment, arbitration or settlement, the Executive shall be entitled to the
payment of (a) all legal fees incurred by the Executive in resolving such
dispute or controversy, and (b) any back-pay, including Base Salary, bonuses and
any other cash compensation, fringe benefits and any compensation and benefits
due to the Executive under this Agreement.

 

22.          Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement
between the Employer and the Executive with respect to the matters agreed to
herein. All prior agreements between the Employer and the Executive with respect
to the matters agreed to herein are hereby superseded and shall have no force or
