and restated as of January 1, 2001 and as further amended and restated as of
January 1, 2008 (the “Plan”); and

immediately preceding or the twenty-four (24) months immediately following a
Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), and (ii) clarify certain rights and
benefits that are creditable upon the termination of the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of the date hereof, the Bank hereby amends the Plan

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, the Bank terminates the
Plan at any time on or prior to December 31, 2012 pursuant to
Section 1.409A-3(j)(ix)(B) of the regulations under Section 409A of the Code,
then (a) (i) each Participant who is an Employee on the date of such Plan
termination and who had an Entry Date of January 1 shall be credited with a Year
of Benefit Service in respect of the 2012 calendar year without regard to
whether as of the Plan termination date 183 or more Days of Service have elapsed
in the 2012 calendar year, and (ii) each Participant who is an Employee on the
date of such Plan termination and who had an Entry Date that was other than
January 1 shall be credited with the additional Days of Service (if any) with
respect to the 12-month period on which his or her Years of Benefit Service are
calculated (based on the applicable Entry Date), so that such Participant is
credited with a Year of Benefit Service for the 12-month period commencing on
the anniversary of the Entry Date occurring in the 2012 calendar year without
regard to whether as of the Plan termination date 183 or more Days of Service
have elapsed in such 12-month period; provided that, such Participant’s Years of
Benefit Service shall not exceed fifteen (15) Years of Benefit Service and in no
event shall any Participant be entitled to duplicate service credit for the same
period of service, and (b) each Participant’s Normal Retirement Benefit under
