 CULLMAN SAVINGS BANK 

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN 
  

	Section 1.	 Plan Identity. 



1.1 Name. The name of this Plan is “Cullman Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan.” 

1.2 Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to describe the terms and conditions under which contributions made
pursuant to the Plan will be credited and paid to the Participants and their Beneficiaries. 
 1.3 Effective
Date. The initial Effective Date of this Plan is January 1, 2009. The Effective Date of this amended and restated Plan is January 1, 2021. 

1.4 Fiscal Period. This Plan shall be operated on the basis of a January 1 to December 31 fiscal year
for the purpose of keeping the Plan’s books and records and distributing or filing any reports or returns required by law. 

1.5 Single Plan for All Employers. This Plan shall be treated as a single plan with respect to all participating
Employers for the purpose of crediting contributions and forfeitures and distributing benefits, determining whether there has been any termination of Service, and applying the limitations set forth in Section 5. 

1.6 Interpretation of Provisions. The Employers intend this Plan and the Trust Agreement to be a qualified stock
bonus plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Section 407(d)(6) of ERISA and Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code. The Plan is intended to have its assets invested primarily in
qualifying employer securities of one or more Employers within the meaning of Section 407(d)(3) of ERISA, and to satisfy any requirement under ERISA or the Code applicable to such a plan. The Plan is not subject to the diversification
requirements of Code Section 401(a)(35). 
 Accordingly, the Plan and Trust Agreement shall be interpreted and applied
in a manner consistent with this intent and shall be administered at all times and in all respects in a nondiscriminatory manner. 
  

	Section 2.	 Definitions. 



The following capitalized words and phrases shall have the meanings specified when used in this Plan and in the Trust
Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: 
 “Account” means a Participant’s interest
in the assets accumulated under this Plan as expressed in terms of a separate account balance which is periodically adjusted to reflect his Employer’s contributions, the Plan’s investment experience, and distributions and forfeitures. 

“Active Participant” means a Participant who has satisfied the eligibility requirements under Section 3
and who has at least 1,000 Hours of Service during the current Plan Year. 












 
However, a Participant shall not qualify as an Active Participant unless (i) he is in active Service with an Employer as of the last day of the Plan Year, or (ii) he is on a Recognized
Absence as of that date, or (iii) his Service terminated during the Plan Year by reason of Disability, death, or Normal Retirement. 

“Bank” means Cullman Savings Bank and any entity which succeeds to the business of Cullman Savings Bank and
adopts this Plan as its own pursuant to Section 13.1 of the Plan. 
 “Beneficiary” means the person or
persons who are designated by a Participant to receive benefits payable under the Plan on the Participant’s death. In the absence of any designation or if all the designated Beneficiaries shall die before the Participant dies or shall die
before all benefits have been paid, the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be his surviving Spouse, if any, or his estate if he is not survived by a Spouse. The Committee may rely upon the advice of the Participant’s executor or administrator
as to the identity of the Participant’s Spouse. 
 “Break in Service” means any Plan Year, or, for the
initial eligibility computation period under Section 3.2, the 12-consecutive month period beginning on the first day of which an Employee has an Hour of Service, in which an Employee has 500 or fewer
Hours of Service. Solely for this purpose, an Employee shall be considered employed for his normal hours of paid employment during a Recognized Absence (said Employee shall not be credited with more than 501 Hours of Service to avoid a Break in
Service), unless he does not resume his Service at the end of the Recognized Absence. Further, if an Employee is absent for any period (i) by reason of the Employee’s pregnancy, (ii) by reason of the birth of the Employee’s
child, (iii) by reason of the placement of a child with the Employee in connection with the Employee’s adoption of the child, or (iv) for purposes of caring for such child for a period beginning immediately after such birth or
placement, the Employee shall be credited with the Hours of Service which would normally have been credited but for such absence, up to a maximum of 501 Hours of Service. Hours of Service shall be credited only in the year in which the absence from
work begins, if a Participant would be prevented from incurring a one-year Break in Service in such year solely because the period of absence is treated as Hours of Service, or in any other case, in the
immediately following year. 
 “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

“Committee” means the committee responsible for the administration of this Plan in accordance with
Section 12. 
 “Company” means Cullman Bancorp, Inc., the holding company of the Bank, and any
successor entity which succeeds to the business of the Company. 
 “Disability” means the inability to
engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12
months. An individual shall not be considered to be permanently and totally disabled unless he furnishes proof of the existence thereof in such form and manner, and at such times, as the Committee may require. 

  
 -2- 













 “Eligible Employee” means an Employee, other than an
Employee identified in Section 3.4, who has performed 1,000 Hours of Service in the applicable Eligibility Year in accordance with Section 3.2 and who has attained age nineteen (19). 

“Employee” means any individual who is or has been employed or
self-employed by an Employer. “Employee” also means an individual employed by a leasing organization who, pursuant to an agreement between an Employer and the leasing organization, has performed
services for the Employer and any related persons (within the meaning of Section 414(n)(6) of the Code) on a substantially full-time basis for more than one year, if such services are performed under the
primary direction or control of the Employer. However, such a “leased employee” shall not be considered an Employee if (i) he participates in a money purchase pension plan sponsored by the leasing organization which provides for
immediate participation, immediate full vesting, and an annual contribution of at least 10 percent of the Employee’s 415 Compensation, and (ii) leased employees do not constitute more than 20 percent of the Employer’s total
work force (including leased employees, but excluding Highly Compensated Employees and any other Employees who have not performed services for the Employer on a substantially full-time basis for at least one
year). 
 “Employer” means the Bank or any affiliate within the purview of section 414(b), (c) or
(m) and 415(h) of the Code, any other corporation, partnership, or proprietorship which adopts this Plan with the Bank’s consent pursuant to Section 13.1, and any entity which succeeds to the business of any Employer and adopts the
Plan pursuant to Section 13.2. 
 “Entry Date” means the Effective Date of the Plan and each
July 1 and January 1 of each Plan Year after the Effective Date. 
 “ERISA” means the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-406, as amended). 
 “Exempt
Loan” means an indebtedness arising from any extension of credit to the Plan or the Trust which satisfies the requirements set forth in Section 6.3 and which was obtained for any or all of the following purposes: 

(i) to acquire qualifying Employer securities as defined in Treasury Regulations § 54.4975-12; 
 (ii) to repay such Exempt Loan; or 

(iii) to repay a prior exempt loan. 

“415 Compensation” shall mean: 

(a) Wages (including overtime pay, bonuses and commissions), as defined in Code Section 3401(a) for
purposes of income tax withholding at the source, except the amount of commission income, if any, shall not exceed $35,000. 

(b) Any elective deferral as defined in Code Section 402(g)(3) (any Employer contributions made on behalf
of a Participant to the extent not includible in gross income 

  
 -3- 













 
and any Employer contributions to purchase an annuity contract under Code Section 403(b) under a salary reduction agreement) and any amount which is contributed or deferred by the Employer
at the election of the Participant and which is not includible in gross income of the Participant by reason of Code Section 125 (including any “deemed” Code Section 125 compensation) (Cafeteria Plan), Code Section 457 or
132(f)(4) shall also be included in the definition of 415 Compensation. 
 (c) 415 Compensation shall also
include the following types of compensation paid after a Participant’s severance from employment with the Employer, provided that amounts described in paragraphs (i) or (ii) below shall only be included in 415 Compensation to the extent
such amounts are paid by the later of 2 1⁄2 months after severance from employment, or by the end of the limitation year that includes the date of such severance
from employment. 
 (i) Regular Pay. 415 Compensation shall include regular pay after severance from
employment if (a) the payment is for regular compensation for services during the Participant’s regular working hours, or compensation for services outside of the Participant’s regular working hours (such as overtime or shift
differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar payments, and (b) the payment would have been paid to the Participant prior to severance from employment if the Participant had continued in employment with the Employer. 

(ii) Leave Cashouts. Leave cashouts shall be included in 415 Compensation if those amounts would have been
included in the definition of 415 Compensation if they were paid prior to the Participant’s severance from employment, and the amounts are payment for unused accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave, but only if the Participant would
have been able to use the leave if his employment had continued. 
 (d) 415 Compensation includes
differential wage payments (as defined in Code Section 3401(h)) paid by the Employer to a former Employee who is performing qualified military services (as defined in Code Section 414(u)(1)) but only to the extent that those differential
wage payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military service. 

(e) In the discretion of the Employer and consistent with the Employer’s normal payroll practices, 415
Compensation shall include amounts earned but not paid during the limitation year solely because of the timing of the pay periods and pay dates if: (1) these amounts are paid during the first few weeks of the next limitation year; (2) the
amounts are included in the definition of 415 Compensation on a uniform and consistent basis with respect to all similarly situated employees; and (3) these amounts are not included in the definition of 415 Compensation for more than one
limitation year. 
 (f) 415 Compensation in excess of $265,000 (as indexed) shall be disregarded for all
Participants. For purposes of this sub-section, the $265,000 limit shall be referred to as the “applicable limit” for the Plan Year in question. The $265,000 limit shall be


  
 -4- 













 
adjusted for increases in the cost of living in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code, effective for the Plan Year which begins within the applicable calendar year. For purposes
of the applicable limit and for determining the amount of 415 Compensation, 415 Compensation shall be prorated over short Plan Years and only compensation for the portion of the Plan Year during which the individual was a Participant shall be
taken into account. 
 “Highly Compensated Employee” for any Plan Year means an Employee who, during either
that or the immediately preceding Plan Year was at any time a five percent owner of the Employer (as defined in Code Section 416(i)(1)) or, during the immediately preceding Plan Year, had 415 Compensation exceeding $120,000 (the limit for 2015)
and was among the most highly compensated one-fifth of all Employees (the $120,000 amount is adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as under Code Section 415(d)). For these purposes, “the
most highly compensated one-fifth of all Employees” shall be determined by taking into account all individuals working for all related Employer entities described in the definition of “Service,”
but excluding any individual who has not completed six months of Service, who normally works fewer than 171⁄2 hours per week or in fewer than six months per year,
who has not reached age 21, whose employment is covered by a collective bargaining agreement, or who is a nonresident alien who receives no earned income from United States sources. The applicable year for which a determination is being made is
called a “determination year” and the preceding 12-month period is called a look-back year. 

“Hours of Service” means hours to be credited to an Employee under the following rules: 

(a) Each hour for which an Employee is paid or is entitled to be paid for services to an Employer is an Hour of
Service. 
 (b) Each hour for which an Employee is directly or indirectly paid or is entitled to be paid for
a period of vacation, holidays, illness, disability, lay-off, jury duty, temporary military duty, or leave of absence is an Hour of Service. However, except as otherwise specifically provided, no more than 501
Hours of Service shall be credited for any single continuous period which an Employee performs no duties. No more than 501 Hours of Service will be credited under this paragraph for any single continuous period (whether or not such period occurs in
a single computation period). Further, no Hours of Service shall be credited on account of payments made solely under a plan maintained to comply with worker’s compensation, unemployment compensation, or disability insurance laws, or to
reimburse an Employee for medical expenses. 
 (c) Each hour for which back pay (ignoring any mitigation of
damages) is either awarded or agreed to by an Employer is an Hour of Service. However, no more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited for any single continuous period during which an Employee would not have performed any duties. The same Hours
of Service will not be credited both under paragraph (a) or (b) as the case may be, and under this paragraph (c). These hours will be credited to the employee for the computation period or periods to which the award or agreement pertains rather
than the computation period in which the award agreement or payment is made. 

  
 -5- 













 (d) Hours of Service shall be credited in any one period
only under one of the foregoing paragraphs (a), (b) and (c); an Employee may not get double credit for the same period. 

(e) If an Employer finds it impractical to count the actual Hours of Service for any class or group of non-hourly Employees, each Employee in that class or group shall be credited with 90 Hours of Service for each bi-weekly pay period in which he has at least one Hour of
Service. However, an Employee shall be credited only for his normal working hours during a paid absence. 

(f) Hours of Service to be credited on account of a payment to an Employee (including back pay) shall be
recorded in the period of Service for which the payment was made. If the period overlaps two or more Plan Years, the Hours of Service credit shall be allocated in proportion to the respective portions of the period included in the several Plan
Years. However, in the case of periods of 31 days or less, the Committee may apply a uniform policy of crediting the Hours of Service to either the first Plan Year or the second. 

(g) In all respects an Employee’s Hours of Service shall be counted as required by Section 2530.200b-2(b) and (c) of the Department of Labor’s regulations under Title I of ERISA. 

(h) Solely for purposes of determining whether a Break in Service for vesting purposes has occurred in a
computation period, the Hours of Service credited to an individual who is absent from work for maternity or paternity reasons shall be credited (1) in the computation period in which the absence begins if the crediting is necessary to prevent a
Break in Service in that period, or (2) in all other cases, in the following computation period. 
 “Investment
Fund” means that portion of the Trust Fund consisting of assets other than Stock. Notwithstanding the above, assets from the Investment Fund may be used to purchase Stock in the open market or otherwise, or used to pay on the Exempt Loan,
and shares so purchased will be allocated to a Participant’s Stock Fund. 
 “Normal Retirement” means
retirement on or after the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. 
 “Normal Retirement Date” means the
later of a Participant’s (i) 60th birthday, or (ii) five (5) Years of Service. 

“Participant” means any Eligible Employee who is an Active Participant participating in the Plan, or Eligible
Employee or former Employee who was previously an Active Participant and still has a balance credited to his Account. 

“Period of Uniformed Service” means the length of time that an Employee serves in the Uniformed Services.


  
 -6- 













 “Plan Year” means the twelve-month period commencing
January 1 and ending December 31 and each period of 12 consecutive months beginning on January 1 of each succeeding year. 

“Readily Tradable on an Established Securities Market” has the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(35)-1(f)(5) for purposes of Code Section 401(a)(22), 401(a)(28)(C) and 409(h)(1)(B) and 409(1), which means: (i) the security is traded on a national securities exchange that is
registered under section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (ii) the security is traded on a national securities exchange that is officially recognized, sanctioned or supervised by governmental authority and the security is deemed by
the Securities and Exchange Commission as having a “ready market” under SEC Rule 15c3-1. 

“Recognized Absence” means a period for which: 

(a) an Employer grants an Employee a leave of absence for a limited period, but only if an Employer grants such
leave on a nondiscriminatory basis; or 
 (b) an Employee is temporarily laid off by an Employer because of a
change in business conditions; or 
 (c) an Employee is on active military duty, but only to the extent that
his employment rights are protected by the Military Selective Service Act of 1967 (38 U.S.C. Sec. 2021).

“Stock” means common stock issued by the Employer (or by a corporation which is a member of the same
controlled group) which is Readily Tradable on an Established Securities Market. In the event there is no common stock which meets the requirements of the preceding sentence, then “Stock” means common stock issued by the Employer (or by a
corporation which is a member of the same controlled group) having a combined voting power and dividend rights equal to or in excess of (A) that class of common stock of the Employer (or of any other such corporation) having the greatest voting
power; and (B) that class of common stock of the Employer (or of any other such corporation) having the greatest dividend rights. 

“Stock Fund” means that portion of the Trust Fund consisting of Stock. 

“Trust” or “Trust Fund” means the trust fund created under this Plan. 

“Trust Agreement” means the agreement between the Bank and the Trustee concerning the Trust Fund. If any
assets of the Trust Fund are held in a co-mingled trust fund with assets of other qualified retirement plans, “Trust Agreement” shall be deemed to include the trust agreement governing that co-mingled trust fund. With respect to the allocation of investment responsibility for the assets of the Trust Fund, the provisions of Article II of the Trust Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. 

“Trustee” means one or more corporate persons or individuals selected from time to time by the Bank to serve
as trustee or co-trustees of the Trust Fund. 
 “Unallocated Stock

	Section 3.	 Eligibility for Participation. 



3.1 Initial Eligibility. An Eligible Employee shall enter the Plan as of the Entry Date coincident with or next
following the last day of the Eligible Employee’s first Eligibility Year and attainment of age nineteen (19), and all Eligible Employees shall enter the Plan as of the Plan’s Effective Date. 

3.2 Definition of Eligibility Year. “Eligibility Year” means an applicable eligibility period (as
defined below) in which the Eligible Employee has completed 1,000 Hours of Service for the Employer. For this purpose: 

(i) an Eligible Employee’s first “eligibility period” is the
12-consecutive month period beginning on the first day on which he has an Hour of Service, and 

(ii) his subsequent eligibility periods will be 12-consecutive month
periods beginning on each January 1 after that first day of Service. 
 3.3 Terminated Employees. No
Employee shall have any interest or rights under this Plan if he is never in active Service with an Employer on or after the Effective Date. 

3.4 Certain Employees Ineligible. 

3.4-1 No Employee shall participate in the Plan while his Service is
covered by a collective bargaining agreement between an Employer and the Employee’s collective bargaining representative if (i) retirement benefits have been the subject of good faith bargaining between the Employer and the representative
and (ii) the collective bargaining agreement does not provide for the Employee’s participation in the Plan. 

3.4-2 Leased Employees are not eligible to participate in the Plan.

 3.4-3 Employees who are nonresident aliens with no earned income
(within the meaning of Code Section 911(d)(2)) from the Employer which constitutes income from sources within the United States (within the meaning of Code Section 861(a)(3)). 

3.4-4 An Eligible Employee may elect not to participate in the Plan,
provided, however, such election is made solely to meet the requirements of Code Section 409(n). For an election to be effective for a particular Plan Year, the Eligible Employee or Participant must file the election in writing with the Plan
Administrator before the 

  
 -11- 













 
beginning of the Plan Year for which the election is to be effective, and such election must be irrevocable. 

3.5 Participation and Reparticipation. Subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing requirements,
an Eligible Employee shall participate in the Plan during each period of his Service from the date on which he first becomes eligible until his termination. For this purpose, an Eligible Employee who returns before five (5) consecutive one year
Breaks in Service who previously satisfied the initial eligibility requirements or who returns after five (5) consecutive one year Breaks in Service with a vested Account balance in the Plan shall
re-enter the Plan as of the date of his return to Service with an Employer. 
 3.6
Omission of Eligible Employee. If, in any Plan Year, any Eligible Employee who should be included as a Participant in the Plan is erroneously omitted and discovery of such omission is not made until after a contribution by his Employer
for the year has been made, the Employer shall make a subsequent contribution with respect to the omitted Eligible Employee in the amount which the said Employer would have contributed regardless of whether or not it is deductible in whole or in
part in any taxable year under applicable provisions of the Code. 
 3.7 Inclusion of Ineligible Employee. If,
in any Plan Year, any person who should not have been included as a Participant in the Plan is erroneously included and discovery of such incorrect inclusion is not made until after a contribution for the year has been made, the Employer shall not
be entitled to recover the contribution made with respect to the ineligible person regardless of whether or not a deduction is allowable with respect to such contribution. In such event, the amount contributed with respect to the ineligible person
shall constitute a forfeiture for the fiscal year in which the discovery is made. Any person who, after the close of a Plan Year, is retroactively treated by the Company, an affiliated company or any other party as an Employee for such prior Plan
Year shall not, for purposes of the Plan, be considered an Employee for such prior Plan Year unless expressly so treated as such by the Company. 
  

	Section 4.	 Contributions and Credits. 



4.1 Discretionary Contributions. 

4.1-1 The Employer shall from time to time contribute, with respect to
a Plan Year, such amounts as it may determine from time to time. The Employer shall have no obligation to contribute any amount under this Plan except as so determined in its sole discretion. The Employer’s contributions and available
forfeitures for a Plan Year shall be credited as of the last day of the year to the Accounts of the Active Participants in the manner set forth in Section 8.1-2. 

4.1-2 Upon a Participant’s Reemployment After a Period of
Uniformed Service, the Employer shall make an additional contribution on behalf of such Participant that would have been made on his or her behalf during the Plan Year or Years corresponding to the Participant’s Period of Uniformed Service.

 4.2 Contributions for Exempt Loans. If the Trustee, upon instructions from the Committee, incurs any Exempt
Loan upon the purchase of Stock, the Employer may contribute for each Plan Year an amount sufficient to cover all payments of principal and interest as they come 

  
 -12- 













 
due under the terms of the Exempt Loan. If there is more than one Exempt Loan, the Employer shall designate the one to which any contribution is to be applied. Investment earnings realized on
Employer contributions and any dividends paid by the Employer on Stock held in the Unallocated Stock Account, shall be applied to the Exempt Loan related to that Stock, subject to Section 7.2. 

In each Plan Year in which Employer contributions, earnings on contributions, or dividends on Stock in the Unallocated Stock
Fund are used as payments under an Exempt Loan, a certain number of shares of the Stock acquired with that Exempt Loan which is then held in the Unallocated Stock Fund shall be released for allocation among the Participants. The number of shares
released shall bear the same ratio to the total number of those shares then held in the Unallocated Stock Fund (prior to the release) as (i) the principal and interest payments made on the Exempt Loan in the current Plan Year bears to
(ii) the sum of (i) above, and the remaining principal and interest payments required (or projected to be required on the basis of the interest rate in effect at the end of the Plan Year) to satisfy the Exempt Loan. 

At the direction of the Committee, the current and projected payments of interest under an Exempt Loan may be ignored in
calculating the number of shares to be released in each year if (i) the Exempt Loan provides for annual payments of principal and interest at a cumulative rate that is not less rapid at any time than level annual payments of such amounts for 10
years, (ii) the interest included in any payment is ignored only to the extent that it would be determined to be interest under standard loan amortization tables, and (iii) the term of the Exempt Loan, by reason of renewal, extension, or
refinancing, has not exceeded 10 years from the original acquisition of the Stock. 
 4.3 Conditions as to
Contributions. Employers’ contributions shall in all events be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5. Contributions may be made in the form of cash, or securities and other property to the extent permissible under
ERISA, including Stock, and shall be held by the Trustee in accordance with the Trust Agreement. In addition to the provisions of Section 13.3 for the return of an Employer’s contributions in connection with a failure of the Plan to
qualify initially under the Code, any amount contributed by an Employer due to a good faith mistake of fact, or based upon a good faith but erroneous determination of its deductibility under Section 404 of the Code, shall be returned to the
Employer within one year after the date on which the contribution was originally made, or within one year after its nondeductibility has been finally determined. However, the amount to be returned shall be reduced to take account of any adverse
investment experience within the Trust Fund in order that the balance credited to each Participant’s Account is not less that it would have been if the contribution had never been made. 

4.4 Rollover Contributions. This Plan shall not accept a direct rollover or rollover contribution of an
“eligible rollover distribution” as such term is defined in Section 10.9-1 of the Plan. 

4.5 Plan-to-Plan Transfer.
Effective January 1, 2017, shares of Stock held in the Cullman Bancorp, Inc. Stock Fund under the Cullman Savings Bank Profit Sharing Plan (the “Profit Sharing Plan”) shall automatically be transferred to the Plan. The transferred
shares of Stock shall be held in a separate account in the Plan and shall remain invested in Stock. Distribution rules set forth in Section 10 of the Plan shall be applicable to the transferred shares;


  
 -13- 













 
provided, however, that the timing of any distribution of the transferred shares shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Profit Sharing Plan if this would lead to an earlier
distribution. Years of service in the Cullman Savings Bank Profit Sharing Plan shall not count for the purposes of diversification under Section 6.4 of the Plan with respect to transferred shares of Stock. Shares transferred pursuant to this
Section 4.5 shall count toward the distribution amounts under Section 10.1 of the Plan. This amendment shall be administered in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including any protected benefits under
Section 411(d)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder. 
  

	Section 5.	 Limitations on Contributions and Allocations. 



5.1 Limitation on Annual Additions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, allocation of Employer
contributions for any Plan Year shall be subject to the following: 

5.1-1 No more than one-third of
the Employer contributions used for repayment of any Exempt Loan in accordance with Section 4.2 shall be allocated to the accounts of Highly Paid Employees (within the meaning of Code Section 414(q)), with the remaining Employer
contributions to be made to Non-Highly Compensated Employees in the manner specified under Section 8.1. Such adjustments shall be made before any allocations occur. 

5.1-2 After adjustment, if any, required by the preceding paragraph,
the annual additions during any Plan Year to any Participant’s Account under this and any other defined contribution plans maintained by the Employer or an affiliate (within the purview of Section 414(b), (c) and (m) and
Section 415(h) of the Code, which affiliate shall be deemed the Employer for this purpose) shall not exceed the lesser of $53,000 (for 2015, or such other dollar amount which results from cost-of-living adjustments under Section 415(d) of the Code) (the “dollar limitation”) or 100 percent of the Participant’s 415 Compensation for such limitation year (the
“percentage limitation”). In the event Stock is released from the Unallocated Stock Fund and allocated to a Participant’s account for a particular Plan Year, the Employer may determine for such year that an annual addition shall be
calculated on the basis of the fair market value of the Stock so released and allocated (such fair market value to be based on the valuation as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the Plan Year in respect of which the release and allocation
are made) if the annual addition, as so calculated, is lower than the annual addition calculated on the basis of Employer contributions. The percentage limitation shall not apply to any contribution for medical benefits after severance from
employment (within the meaning of Section 401(h) or Section 419A(f)(2) of the Code) which is otherwise treated as an annual addition. If, as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a reasonable error in estimating a Participant’s
annual compensation, a reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals (within the meaning of Code Section 402(g)(3)) that may be made with respect to any individual under the limits of Code Section 415, or under other
limited facts and circumstances that the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service finds justify the availability of the rules set forth in this paragraph, the annual additions under the terms of the Plan for a particular Participant would cause
the limitations of Code Section 415 applicable to that Participant for the limitation year to be exceeded, the Plan may only correct such excess in accordance with the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System


  
 -14- 













 
(EPCRS) as set forth in Revenue Procedure 2013-12, as modified by Revenue Procedure 2015-27, or any subsequent
guidance. 
 5.1-3 For purposes of this Section 5.1, the
“annual addition” to a Participant’s Accounts means the sum of (i) Employer contributions, (ii) Employee contributions, if any, and (iii) forfeitures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “annual additions” shall
not include a restorative payment in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.415(c)-1(b)(2)(C) that is made to restore losses to the Plan resulting from actions by a fiduciary for which there is a
reasonable risk of liability for breach of fiduciary duty under ERISA or other applicable federal and state law. 

5.1-4 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no more than one-third of the Employer contributions to the Plan for a year which are deductible under Section 404(a)(9) of the Code are allocated to Highly Compensated Employees (within the meaning of Section 414(q)
of the Internal Revenue Code), the limitations imposed herein shall not apply to: 
 (i) forfeitures of
Employer securities (within the meaning of Section 409 of the Code) under the Plan if such securities were acquired with the proceeds of a loan described in Section 404(a)(9)(A) of the Code), or 

(ii) Employer contributions to the Plan which are deductible under Section 404(a)(9)(B) and charged
against a Participant’s Account. 
 5.1-5 If the Employer
contributes amounts, on behalf of Eligible Employees covered by this Plan, to other “defined contribution plans” as defined in Section 3(34) of ERISA, the limitation on annual additions provided in this Section shall be applied to
annual additions in the aggregate to this Plan and to such other plans. Reduction of annual additions, where required, shall be accomplished first by reductions under such other plan pursuant to the directions of the named fiduciary for
administration of such other plans or under priorities, if any, established under the terms of such other plans and then by allocating any remaining excess for this Plan in the manner and priority set out above with respect to this Plan. 

5.1-6 A limitation year shall mean each 12 consecutive month period
ending on December 31. 
 5.2 Effect of Limitations. The Committee shall take whatever action may be
necessary from time to time to assure compliance with the limitations set forth in Section 5.1. Specifically, the Committee shall see that each Employer restrict its contributions for any Plan Year to an amount which, taking into account the
amount of available forfeitures, may be completely allocated to the Participants consistent with those limitations. Where the limitations would otherwise be exceeded by any Participant, further allocations to the Participant shall be curtailed to
the extent necessary to satisfy the limitations. Where an excessive amount is contributed on account of a mistake as to one or more Participants’ compensation, or there is an amount of forfeitures which may not be credited in the Plan Year in
which it becomes available, the amount shall be corrected in accordance with Section 5.1-2 of the Plan. If it is determined at any time that the Committee and/or Trustee has erred in accepting and
allocating any contributions 

  
 -15- 













 
or forfeitures under this Plan, or in allocating net gain or loss pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3, then the Committee, in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, shall determine the manner in
which such error shall be corrected and shall promptly advise the Trustee in writing of such error and of the method for correcting such error. The Accounts of any or all Participants may be revised, if necessary, in order to correct such error.

 5.3 Limitations as to Certain Participants. In addition to the limitations set forth in Section 5.1,
if the Plan acquires any Stock in a transaction as to which a selling shareholder or the estate of a deceased shareholder is claiming the benefit of Section 1042 of the Code, the Committee shall see that none of such Stock, and no other assets
in lieu of such Stock, are allocated to the Accounts of certain Participants in this Plan or be allocated directly or indirectly under any plan of the Employer meeting the requirements of Code Section 401(a) during the non allocation period, in
order to comply with Code Section 409(n). This restriction shall apply at all times to a Participant who owns (taking into account the attribution rules under Section 318(a) of the Code, without regard to the exception for employee plan
trusts in Section 318(a)(2)(B)(i)) more than 25 percent of (i) any class of outstanding stock of a corporation and (ii) the total value of any class of outstanding stock of a corporation which issued the Stock acquired by the
Plan, or another corporation within the same controlled group, as defined in Section 409(l)(4) of the Code (any such class of stock hereafter called a “Related Class”). For this purpose, a Participant who owns more than
25 percent of Related Class at any time within the one year preceding the Plan’s purchase of the Stock shall be subject to the restriction as to all allocations of the Stock, but any other Participant shall be subject to the
restriction only as to allocations which occur at a time when he owns more than 25 percent of any Related Class. 

Further, this restriction shall apply to the selling shareholder claiming the benefit of Section 1042 and any other
Participant who is related to such a shareholder within the meaning of Section 267(b) of the Code, during the period beginning on the date of sale and ending on the later of (1) the date that is ten years after the date of sale, or
(2) the date of the Plan allocation attributable to the final payment of acquisition indebtedness incurred in connection with the sale. 

This restriction shall not apply to any Participant who is a lineal descendant of a selling shareholder if the aggregate
amounts allocated under the Plan for the benefit of all such descendants do not exceed five percent of the Stock acquired from the shareholder. 

5.4 Erroneous Allocations. No Participant shall be entitled to any annual additions or other allocations to his
Account in excess of those permitted under Section 5. If it is determined at any time that the administrator and/or Trustee have erred in accepting and allocating any contributions or forfeitures under this Plan, or in allocating investment
adjustments, or in excluding or including any person as a Participant, then the administrator, in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, shall determine the manner in which such error shall be corrected, after taking into consideration Sections 3.6
and 3.7 and any revenue procedure or other notice published by the Internal Revenue Service regarding permissible correction methods, if applicable, and shall promptly advise the Trustee in writing of such error and of the method for correcting such
error. The Accounts of any or all Participants may be revised, if necessary, in order to correct such error.

	Section 6.	 Trust Fund and Its Investment. 



6.1 Creation of Trust Fund. All amounts received under the Plan from Employers and investments shall be held as
the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of this Plan and of the Trust Agreement between the Bank and the Trustee. The benefits described in this Plan shall be payable only from the assets of the Trust Fund, and none of the Bank, any other Employer, its
board of directors or trustees, its stockholders, its officers, its employees, the Committee, and the Trustee shall be liable for payment of any benefit under this Plan except from the Trust Fund. 

6.2 Stock Fund and Investment Fund. The Trust Fund held by the Trustee shall be divided into the Stock Fund,
consisting entirely of Stock, and the Investment Fund, consisting of all assets of the Trust other than Stock. The Trustee shall have no investment responsibility for the Stock Fund, but shall accept any Employer contributions made in the form of
Stock, and shall acquire, sell, exchange, distribute, and otherwise deal with and dispose of Stock in accordance with the instructions of the Committee. The Trustee shall have full responsibility for the investment of the Investment Fund, except to
the extent such responsibility may be delegated from time to time to one or more investment managers pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Trust Agreement, or to the extent the Committee directs the Trustee to purchase Stock with the assets in the
Investment Fund. 
 6.3 Acquisition of Stock. From time to time the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
direct the Trustee to acquire Stock from the issuing Employer or from shareholders, including shareholders who are or have been Employees, Participants, or fiduciaries with respect to the Plan. The Trustee shall pay for such Stock no more than its
fair market value, which shall be determined conclusively by the Committee pursuant to Section 12.4. The Committee may direct the Trustee to finance the acquisition of Stock by incurring or assuming indebtedness to the seller or another party
which indebtedness shall be called an “Exempt Loan.” The term “Exempt Loan” shall refer to a loan made to the Plan by a disqualified person within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code, or a loan to the Plan which is
guaranteed by a disqualified person. An Exempt Loan includes a direct loan of cash, a purchase-money transaction, and an assumption of an obligation of a tax-qualified employee stock ownership plan under
Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code (“ESOP”). For these purposes, the term “guarantee” shall include an unsecured guarantee and the use of assets of a disqualified person as collateral for a loan, even though the use of assets
may not be a guarantee under applicable state law. An amendment of an Exempt Loan in order to qualify as an “exempt loan” is not a refinancing of the Exempt Loan or the making of another Exempt Loan. The term “exempt loan” refers
to a loan that is primarily for the benefit of the Plan participants and their beneficiaries and that satisfies the provisions of this paragraph. A “non-exempt loan” fails to satisfy this paragraph.
Any Exempt Loan shall be subject to the following conditions and limitations: 
 6.3-1 All Exempt Loans incurred by the Plan must be primarily for the benefit of Plan Participants and Beneficiaries, and an Exempt Loan shall be for a specific term, shall not be payable on demand except in the
event of default, and shall bear a reasonable rate of interest, such that the interest rate and the price of the securities to be acquired with the Exempt Loan will not cause the Plan’s assets to be inappropriately impaired in violation of
Treasury Regulation Section 54.4975-7(b)(3).6.3-2 An Exempt Loan may, but need not, be secured by a collateral pledge of either the Stock acquired in exchange for
the Exempt 

  
 -17- 













 
Loan, or the Stock previously pledged in connection with a prior Exempt Loan which is being repaid with the proceeds of the current Exempt Loan. No other assets of the Plan and Trust may be used
as collateral for an Exempt Loan, and no creditor under an Exempt Loan shall have any right or recourse to any Plan and Trust assets other than Stock remaining subject to a collateral pledge. 

6.3-3 Any pledge of Stock to secure an Exempt Loan must provide for the
release of pledged Stock in connection with payments on the Exempt Loans in the ratio prescribed in Section 4.2. 

6.3-4 Repayments of principal and interest on any Exempt Loan during
any Plan Year must not exceed an amount equal to the sum of contributions and earnings received during or prior to such Plan Year, less such payments in prior Plan Years and from cash dividends received on Stock, in the last case, however, subject
to the further requirements of Section 7.2. All contributions and earnings shall be separately accounted for in the Plan’s records until the Exempt Loan is repaid. 

6.3-5 In the event of default of an Exempt Loan, the value of Plan
assets transferred in satisfaction of the Exempt Loan must not exceed the amount of the default. If the lender is a disqualified person within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, an Exempt Loan must provide for a transfer of Plan assets
upon default only upon and to the extent of the failure of the Plan to meet the payment schedule of said Exempt Loan. For purposes of this paragraph, the making of a guarantee does not make a person a lender. 

6.4 Participants’ Option to Diversify. The Committee shall provide for a
procedure under which each Participant may, during the qualified election period, elect to “diversify” a portion of the Employer Stock allocated to his Account, as provided in Section 401(a)(28)(B) of the Code. An election to
diversify must be made on the prescribed form and filed with the Committee within the period specified herein. For each of the first five (5) Plan years in the qualified election period, the Participant may elect to diversify an amount which
does not exceed 25% of the number of shares allocated to his Account since the inception of the Plan, less all shares with respect to which an election under this Section has already been made. For the last year of the qualified election period, the
Participant may elect to have up to 50 percent of the value of his Account committed to other investments, less all shares with respect to which an election under this Section has already been made. The term “qualified election
period” shall mean the six (6) Plan Year period beginning with the first Plan Year in which a Participant has both attained age 55 and completed 10 years of participation in the Plan. A Participant’s election to diversify his Account
may be made within each year of the qualified election period and shall continue for the 90-day period immediately following the last day of each year in the qualified election period. Once a Participant makes
such election, the Plan must complete diversification in accordance with such election within 90 days after the end of the period during which the election could be made for the Plan Year. In the discretion of the Committee, the Plan may satisfy the
diversification requirement by any of the following methods: 
 6.4-1
The Plan may distribute all or part of the amount subject to the diversification election. 

  
 -18- 













 6.4-2 The Plan may
offer the Participant at least three other distinct investment options, if available under the Plan. The other investment options shall satisfy the requirements of Regulations under Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). 
 6.4-3 The Plan may
transfer the portion of the Participant’s Account subject to the diversification election to another qualified defined contribution plan of the Employer that offers at least three investment options satisfying the requirements of the
Regulations under Section 404(c) of ERISA. 
  

	Section 7.	 Voting Rights and Dividends on Stock. 



7.1 Voting and Tendering of Stock. 

7.1-1 The Trustee generally shall vote all shares of Stock held under
the Plan in accordance with the written instructions of the Committee. However, if any Employer has a registration-type class of securities within the meaning of Section 409(e)(4) of the Code, or if
a matter submitted to the holders of the Stock involves a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, liquidation, dissolution, or sale of substantially all assets of an entity, then (i) the shares of Stock which have been
allocated to Participants’ Accounts shall be voted by the Trustee in accordance with the Participants’ written instructions, and (ii) the Trustee shall vote any unallocated Stock, allocated Stock for which it has received no voting
instructions, and Stock for which Participants vote to “abstain,” in the same proportions as it votes the allocated Stock for which it has received instructions from Participants. In the event no shares of Stock have been allocated to
Participants’ Accounts at the time Stock is to be voted and any exempt loan which may be outstanding is not in default, each Participant shall be deemed to have one share of Stock allocated to his or her Account for the sole purpose of
providing the Trustee with voting instructions. 
 Notwithstanding any provision hereunder to the contrary,
all unallocated shares of Stock must be voted by the Trustee in a manner determined by the Trustee to be for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and Beneficiaries. Whenever such voting rights are to be exercised, the Employers shall provide
the Trustee, in a timely manner, with the same notices and other materials as are provided to other holders of the Stock, which the Trustee shall distribute to the Participants. The Participants shall be provided with adequate opportunity to deliver
their instructions to the Trustee regarding the voting of Stock allocated to their Accounts. The instructions of the Participants’ with respect to the voting of allocated shares hereunder shall be confidential. 

7.1-2 In the event of a tender offer, Stock shall be tendered by the
Trustee in the same manner as set forth above with respect to the voting of Stock. Notwithstanding any provision hereunder to the contrary, Stock must be tendered by the Trustee in a manner determined by the Trustee to be for the exclusive benefit
of the Participants and Beneficiaries. 

  
 -19- 













 7.2 Application of Dividends. 

7.2-1 Stock Dividends. Dividends on Stock which are received by
the Trustee in the form of additional Stock shall be retained in the Stock Fund, and shall be allocated among the Participants’ Accounts and the Unallocated Stock Fund in accordance with their holdings of the Stock on which the dividends are
paid. 
 7.2-2 Cash Dividends. The treatment of dividends paid
in cash shall be determined after consideration to whether the cash dividends are paid on Stock held in Participants’ Accounts or the Unallocated Stock Fund. 

(i) On Stock in Participants’ Accounts. 

(A) Employer Exercises Discretion. Dividends on Stock credited to Participants’ Accounts which are
received by the Trustee in the form of cash shall, at the direction of the Employer paying the dividends, either (i) be credited to the Accounts in accordance with Section 8.4(c) and invested as part of the Investment Fund, (ii) be
distributed immediately to the Participants in proportion with the Participants’ Stock Fund Account balance (iii) be distributed to the Participants within 90 days of the close of the Plan Year in which paid in proportion with the
Participants’ Stock Fund Account balance or (iv) be used to make payments on the Exempt Loan. If dividends on Stock allocated to a Participant’s Account are used to repay the Exempt Loan, Stock with a fair market value equal to the
dividends so used must be allocated to such Participant’s Account in lieu of the dividends. 
 (B)
Participant Exercises Discretion over Dividend. In addition, in the sole discretion of the Employer, the Employer may grant Participants the right to elect: (I) to have cash dividends paid on shares of Stock credited to such
Participants’ Stock Fund Accounts distributed to the Participant, or (II) to leave the cash dividends allocated to the Participant’s Account in the Plan, to be credited to the Stock Fund Account and invested in shares of Stock.
Dividends on which such election may be made will be fully vested in the Participant (even if not otherwise vested, absent the ability to make such election). Accordingly, the Employer may choose to offer this election only to Participants who are
fully vested in their Account. In the event the Employer elects to give Participants the right to determine the treatment of such dividends, the Participant’s election shall be made by filing with the Committee the appropriate written direction
as provided by the Committee at such time and in accordance with such procedures and limitations which the Committee may from time to time establish; provided, however, that the procedures established by the Committee shall provide a reasonable
opportunity to change the election at least annually, may establish a default election if a Participant fails to make an affirmative election within the time established for making elections, may provide that the election is applicable for the Plan
Year and cannot be revoked with respect to such Plan Year, 

  
 -20- 













 
shall otherwise be implemented in a manner such that the dividends paid or reinvested will constitute “applicable dividends” which may be deducted under Code Section 404(k), and
are in accordance with applicable guidance issued or to be issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. If the Employer elects to give Participants the right to exercise the discretion in this Paragraph
7.2-2(i)(B), the ability to make such election shall be available to the Participant with respect to dividends paid for the entire Plan Year. 

(ii) On Stock in the Unallocated Stock Fund. Dividends received on shares of Stock held in the
Unallocated Stock Fund shall be applied to the repayment of principal and interest then due on the Exempt Loan used to acquire such shares. If the amount of dividends exceeds the amount needed to repay such principal and interest (including any
prepayments of principal and interest deemed advisable by the Employer), then in the sole discretion of the Committee, the excess shall: (A) be allocated to Active Participants on a non-discriminatory
basis, consistent with Section 7.2-2(i) above, and in the discretion of the Committee, treated as a dividend described in such Section, or (B) be deemed to be general earnings of the Trust Fund and
used for paying appropriate Plan or Trust related expenditures for the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends paid on a share of Stock may not be used to make payments on a particular Exempt Loan unless the share was acquired with the
proceeds of such loan or a refinancing of such loan. 
  

	Section 8.	 Adjustments to Accounts. 



8.1 ESOP Allocations. Amounts available for allocation for a particular Plan Year will be divided into two
categories. The first category relates to shares of Stock released from the Unallocated Stock Fund attributable to using cash dividends to make Exempt Loan payments. The second category relates to contributions made by the Employer, shares of Stock
released from the Unallocated Stock Fund on the basis of Employer contributions (or on the basis of the complete repayment of the Exempt Loan through the sale or other disposition of Stock in the Unallocated Stock Fund) and amounts forfeited from
Stock Fund Accounts pursuant to Section 9.5. 
 8.1-1 Shares of
Stock attributable to the first category will be allocated to the Stock Fund Accounts of eligible Participants as follows: 

(i) first, if dividends paid on shares of Stock held in Participants’ Stock Fund Accounts are used to make
payments on an Exempt Loan, there shall be allocated to each such account a number of shares of Stock released from the Unallocated Stock Fund with a fair market value (determined as of the Valuation Date coincident with or immediately preceding the
loan payment date) that equals the amount of dividends so used, 
 (ii) second, if necessary, any
remaining shares of Stock shall be applied to reinstate amounts forfeited from Stock Fund Accounts of former employees who are entitled to a reinstatement under Section 9.5, and 

  
 -21- 













 (iii) finally, any remaining shares of Stock shall be
allocated as a general investment gain in proportion to the number of shares held in the Active Participants’ Stock Fund Accounts as of the last Valuation Date of the Plan Year for which they are allocated in the same manner as described in Section 7.2-2(i). 
 8.1-2
Shares of Stock or cash attributable to the second category (i.e., Employer contributions, Stock released from the Unallocated Stock Fund on the basis of Employer contributions, and amounts forfeited) will be allocated to the Stock Fund Accounts or
Investment Fund Accounts, as the case may be, pro rata, in proportion to the 415 Compensation of each Active Participant that was earned by such Participant during the period of the Plan Year in which such person participated in the Plan compared to
total 415 Compensation for all Active Participants. 
 8.1-3 Shares
of Stock or cash attributable to contributions made under Section 4.1-2 shall be allocated specifically to the Participants on whose behalf such contributions were made. 

8.2 Charges to Accounts. When a Valuation Date occurs, any distributions made to or on behalf of any Participant
or Beneficiary since the last preceding Valuation Date shall be charged to the proper Accounts maintained for that Participant or Beneficiary. 

8.3 Stock Fund Account. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 8.1, as of the last day of each Plan
Year, the Trustee shall credit to each Participant’s Stock Fund Account: (a) the Participant’s allocable share of Stock purchased by the Trustee or contributed by the Employer to the Trust Fund for that year; (b) the
Participant’s allocable share of the Stock that is released from the Unallocated Stock Fund for that year; (c) the Participant’s allocable share of any forfeitures of Stock arising under the Plan during that year; and (d) any
stock dividends declared and paid during that year on Stock credited to the Participant’s Stock Fund Account. 
 8.4
Investment Fund Account. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 8.1 as of the last day of each Plan Year, the Trustee shall credit to each Participant’s Investment Fund Account: (a) the Participant’s allocable share
of any contribution for that year made by the Employer in cash or in property other than Stock that is not used by the Trustee to purchase Employer Stock or to make payments due under an Exempt Loan; (b) the Participant’s allocable share
of any forfeitures from the Investment Fund Accounts of other Participants arising under the Plan during that year; (c) any cash dividends paid during that year on Stock credited to the Participant’s Stock Fund Account, other than
dividends which are paid directly to the Participant and other than dividends which are used to repay Exempt Loan; and (d) the share of the net income or loss of the Trust Fund properly allocable to that Participant’s Investment Fund
Account, as provided in Section 8.5. 
 8.5 Adjustment to Value of Trust Fund. As of the last day of each
Plan Year, the Trustee shall determine: (i) the net worth of that portion of the Trust Fund which consists of properties other than Stock (the “Investment Fund”); and (ii) the increase or decrease in the net worth of the
Investment Fund since the last day of the preceding Plan Year. The net worth of the Investment Fund shall be the fair market value of all properties held by the Trustee under the Trust Agreement other than Stock, net of liabilities other than
liabilities to Participants and their 

  
 -22- 













 
beneficiaries. The Trustee shall allocate to the Investment Fund Account of each Participant that percentage of the increase or decrease in the net worth of the Investment Fund equal to the ratio
which the balances credited to the Participant’s Investment Fund Account bear to the total amount credited to all Participants’ Investments Fund Accounts. This allocation shall be made after application of Section 7.2, but before
application of Sections 8.1, 8.4 and 5.1. 
 8.6 Participant Statements. Each Plan Year, the Trustee will
provide each Participant with a statement of his or her Account balances, and the vested percentage thereof, as of the last day of the Plan Year. 
  

	Section 9.	 Vesting of Participants’ Interests. 



9.1 Vesting in Accounts. A Participant’s vested interest in his Account shall be based on his Vesting Years
in accordance with the following table, subject to the balance of this Section 9: 
  

					
	 Vesting Years
	  	Percentage of
Interest Vested	 
		
	 Fewer than 3
	  	 	0	% 
	 3 or more
	  	 	100	% 

 9.2 Computation of Vesting Years. For purposes of this Plan, a “Vesting
Year” means generally a Plan Year in which an Employee has performed at least 1,000 Hours of Service, beginning with the first Plan Year in which the Employee has completed an Hour of Service with the Employer, and including Service with other
Employers as provided in the definition of “Service.” Notwithstanding the above, an Employee who was employed with the Bank in its pre-conversion mutual form (the “Mutual Bank”) shall
receive credit for vesting purposes for each calendar year of continuous employment with the Mutual Bank in which such Employee completed 1,000 Hours of Service (such years shall also be referred to as “Vesting Years”). However, a
Participant’s Vesting Years shall be computed subject to the following conditions and qualifications: 

9.2-1 A Participant’s Vesting Years shall not include any Service
prior to the date on which an Employee attains age 18. 
 9.2-2 To
the extent applicable, a Participant’s vested interest in his Account accumulated before five (5) consecutive one year Breaks in Service shall be determined without regard to any Service after such five consecutive Breaks in Service.
Further, if a Participant has five (5) consecutive one year Breaks in Service before his interest in his Account has become vested to some extent, pre-Break in Service Years of Service shall not be
required to be taken into account for purposes of determining his post-Break in Service vested percentage. 

9.2-3 To the extent applicable, in the case of a Participant who has
five (5) or more consecutive one year Breaks in Service, the Participant’s pre-Break in Service will 

  
 -23- 













 
count in vesting of the Employer-derived post-Break in Service accrued benefit only if either: 

(i) such Participant has any nonforfeitable interest in the accrued benefit attributable to Employer
contributions at the time of severance from employment, or 
 (ii) upon returning to Service the number of
consecutive one year Breaks in Service is less than the number of Years of Service. 
 9.2-4 Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, calculation of service for determining Vesting Years with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with
Section 414(u) of the Code. 
 9.2-5 To the extent applicable,
if any amendment changes the vesting schedule, including an automatic change to or from a top-heavy vesting schedule, any Participant with three (3) or more Vesting Years may, by filing a written request
with the Employer, elect to have his vested percentage computed under the vesting schedule in effect prior to the amendment. The election period must begin not later than the later of sixty (60) days after the amendment is adopted, the
amendment becomes effective, or the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the Employer or the Committee. 

9.3 Full Vesting Upon Certain Events. 

9.3-1 Notwithstanding Section 9.1, a Participant’s interest
in his Account shall fully vest on the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date. The Participant’s interest shall also fully vest in the event that his Service is terminated by Disability or by death. For purposes of this Section 9.3-1, benefits payable in the event of a Participant’s death or Disability while performing qualified military service shall fully vest in accordance with Section 414(u)(9) of the Code. 

9.3-2 The Participant’s interest in his Account shall also fully
vest in the event of a “Change in Control” of the Bank, or the Company. For these purposes “Change in Control” means a change in control of a nature that: (i) would be required to be reported in response to Item 5.01 of the
current report on Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”); or (ii) results in a Change in
Control of the Bank or the Company within the meaning of Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder as in effect at the time of the Change in Control (collectively, the “HOLA”); or
(iii) without limitation such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (a) any “person” (as the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) , other than Cullman Savings Bank, MHC, is
or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of the
Company’s outstanding securities, except for any securities purchased by the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan or trust; or (b) individuals who constitute the Board of the Directors on the date hereof (the “Incumbent
Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority 

  
 -24- 













 
thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the
Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by the same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be, for purposes of this clause (b), considered as though he were a
member of the Incumbent Board; or (c) a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Bank or the Company or similar transaction in which the Bank or Company is not the surviving institution
occurs or is effected; or (d) a proxy statement soliciting proxies from stockholders of the Company is distributed, by someone other than the current management of the Company, seeking stockholder approval of a plan of reorganization, merger or
consolidation of the Company or similar transaction with one or more business organizations as a result of which the outstanding shares of the class of securities then subject to the plan are to be exchanged for or converted into cash or property or
securities not issued by the Company; or (e) a tender offer is made for 25% or more of the voting securities of the Company and the shareholders owning beneficially or of record 25% or more of the outstanding securities of the Company have
tendered or offered to sell their shares pursuant to such tender offer and such tendered shares have been accepted by the tender offeror. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred in
connection with the conversion of Cullman Savings Bank, M.H.C. from the mutual holding company to the stock holding company form of organization (the “Second-Step Conversion”) and the related offering of shares of common stock (the
“Offering”) by Company. 
 9.4 Full Vesting Upon Plan Termination. Notwithstanding Section 9.1,
a Participant’s interest in his Account shall fully vest upon termination of this Plan or upon the permanent and complete discontinuance of contributions by his Employer. In the event of a partial termination, the interest of each affected
Participant shall fully vest with respect to that part of the Plan which is terminated. A partial termination of the Plan shall be determined by the Internal Revenue Service Commissioner based on the facts and circumstances of the particular case in
accordance with Code Section 411(d)(3) and the corresponding Treasury Regulations issued thereunder. 
 9.5
Forfeiture, Repayment, and Restoral. If a Participant’s Service terminates before his interest in his Account is fully vested, that portion which has not vested shall be forfeited if he either (i) receives a distribution of
his entire vested interest pursuant to Section 10.1, or (ii) incurs five consecutive one-year Breaks in Service. If a Participant’s Service terminates prior to having any portion of his Account
become vested, such Participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of his vested interest immediately upon his termination of Service. 

If a Participant who has suffered a forfeiture of the nonvested portion of his Account returns to Service before he has five
(5) consecutive one-year Breaks in Service, the nonvested portion shall be restored, provided that, if the Participant had received a distribution of his vested Account balance, the amount distributed
shall be repaid prior to such restoral. The Participant may repay such amount at any time within five years after he has returned to Service. The amount repaid shall be credited to his Account at the time it is repaid; an additional amount equal to
that portion of his Account which was previously forfeited shall be restored to his Account at the same time from other Employees’ forfeitures and, if such forfeitures are insufficient, then from amounts


  
 -25- 













 
allocated in accordance with Section 8.1-1(ii), and if insufficient, then from a special contribution by his Employer for that year. A Participant who
was deemed to have received a distribution of his vested interest in the Plan shall have his Account restored as of the first day on which he performs an Hour of Service after his return. 

In addition, if a Participant did not receive a distribution of his vested Account balance but his non-vested Account balance was forfeited after a one-year Break in Service, such nonvested Account balance shall be restored if the Plan terminates before the Participant has
a five-year Break in Service. If the Participant did not receive a distribution of his vested Account balance, any forfeiture restored shall include earnings that would have been credited to the Account but for the forfeiture. 

For purposes of this Section and Section 5.1 of the Plan, if a portion of a Participant’s account is forfeited,
Stock allocated from an Exempt Loan will be forfeited only after other assets. If interests in more than one class of Stock have been allocated to a Participant’s Account, the Participant must be treated as forfeiting the same proportion of
each such class. 
 9.6 Accounting for Forfeitures. If a portion of a Participant’s Account is forfeited,
Stock allocated to said Participant’s Account shall be forfeited only after other assets are forfeited. If interests in more than one class of Stock have been allocated to a Participant’s Account, the Participant must be treated as
forfeiting the same proportion of each class of Stock. A forfeiture shall be charged to the Participant’s Account as of the first day of the first Valuation Period in which the forfeiture becomes certain pursuant to Section 9.5. Except as
otherwise provided in that Section, a forfeiture shall be added to the contributions of the terminated Participant’s Employer which are to be credited to other Participants pursuant to Section 4.1 as of the last day of the Plan Year in
which the forfeiture becomes certain. 
 9.7 Vesting and Nonforfeitability. A Participant’s
interest in his Account which has become vested shall be nonforfeitable for any reason. 
  

	Section 10.	 Payment of Benefits. 



10.1 Benefits for Participants. For a Participant whose Service ends for any reason, distribution will be made to
or for the benefit of the Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s death, his Beneficiary, by payment in a lump sum, in accordance with Section 10.2. Prior to any such distribution, any Participant entitled to a distribution will
receive a form upon which the Participant can elect the manner of such distribution (e.g., whether to receive the distribution directly or transfer such distribution to an individual retirement account or other
tax-qualified plan), a special tax notice regarding the consequences of such distribution, and, if applicable, that the Participant has the right not to consent to a distribution at such time. 

If a Participant so desires, he may direct how his benefits are to be paid to his Beneficiary. Notice to the Participant with
regard to having the right to elect the manner in which his vested Account balance will be distributed to him may be given up to 180 days before the first day of the first period for which an amount is payable. If a deceased Participant did not file
a direction with the Committee, the Participant’s benefits shall be distributed to his Beneficiary in a lump sum. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, if the value of a Participant’s vested Account


  
 -26- 













 
balance at the time of any distribution does not exceed $1,000, then such Participant’s vested Account shall be distributed, without regard to whether the Participant consents, in a lump sum
within 60 days after the end of the Plan Year in which employment terminates. If the value of a Participant’s vested Account balance is in excess of $5,000, then his benefits shall not be paid prior to his Normal Retirement Date unless he
elects an early payment date in a written election filed with the Committee. A Participant may modify such an election at any time, provided any new benefit payment date is at least 30 days after a modified election is delivered to the Committee.
The Committee shall provide the Participant with written notice designed to comply with the requirements of Code Section 411(a)(11), and shall provide the Participant with a general description of the material features of the optional forms of
benefits under the Plan and the right to defer receipt of any distribution under the Plan. Such notice shall be provided no less than 30 days and no more than 180 days before the date a distribution under the Plan commences. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, failure of a Participant to consent to a distribution prior his Normal Retirement Date shall be deemed to be an election to defer commencement of payment of any benefit under this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless a
Participant elects to receive a distribution, the Committee shall transfer accounts of $1,000 or more, but not exceeding $5,000, in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Committee in accordance with Code
Section 401(a)(31)(B) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. All distributions of $5,000 or less that are made pursuant to this Section without the Participant’s consent shall be made in cash. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event the Participant dies while performing qualified military service (as
defined Section 414(u) of the Code), the Participant’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to any additional benefit provided under the Plan had the Participant resumed and then severed from employment on account of death. 

10.2 Time for Distribution. 

10.2-1 If the Participant and, if applicable, with the consent of the
Participant’s spouse, elects the distribution of the Participant’s Account balance in the Plan, distribution shall commence as soon as practicable following his termination of Service, but no later than one year after the close of the Plan
Year in which the Participant severs employment by reason of attainment of Normal Retirement Age under the Plan, Disability, or death, or which is the fifth Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant otherwise severs employment,
except that this clause shall not apply if the Participant is reemployed by the Employer before distribution is required to begin. 

10.2-2 Unless the Participant elects otherwise, the distribution of the
balance of a Participant’s Account shall commence not later than the 60th day after the latest of the close of the Plan Year in which: 

(i) the Participant attains the age of 65; 

(ii) occurs the tenth anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or

 (iii) the Participant terminates his Service with the Employer. 

  
 -27- 













 10.2-3
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (1) with respect to a 5-percent owner (as defined in Code Section 416), distribution of a Participant’s Account shall commence (whether or not he
remains in the employ of the Employer) not later than the April 1 of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 72 (or age 70 1⁄2 if the Participant was born before July 1, 1949), and (2) with respect to all other Participants, payment of a Participant’s benefit will commence not later than April 1 of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 72 (or age 70 1⁄2 if the Participant was born before July 1, 1949), or, if later, the year in
which the Participant retires. A Participant’s benefit from that portion of his Account committed to the Investment Fund shall be calculated on the basis of the most recent Valuation Date before the date of payment. 

10.2-4 Distribution of a Participant’s Account balance after his
death shall comply with the following requirements: 
 (i) If a Participant dies before his distributions
have commenced, distribution of his Account to his Beneficiary shall commence not later than one year after the end of the Plan Year in which the Participant died; however, if the Participant’s Beneficiary is his surviving Spouse, distributions
may commence on the date on which the Participant would have attained age 72 (or age 70 1⁄2 if the Participant was born before July 1, 1949). In either
case, distributions shall be completed within five years after they commence. 
 (ii) If the Participant dies
after distribution has commenced pursuant to Section 10.1 but before his entire interest in the Plan has been distributed to him, then the remaining portion of that interest shall, in accordance with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, be
distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used under Section 10.1 at the date of his death. 

(iii) If a married Participant dies before his benefit payments begin, then the Committee shall cause the
balance in his Account to be paid to his Beneficiary, provided, however, that no election by a married Participant of a different Beneficiary than his surviving Spouse shall be valid unless the election is accompanied by the Spouse’s written
consent, which (i) must acknowledge the effect of the election, (ii) must explicitly provide either that the designated Beneficiary may not subsequently be changed by the Participant without the Spouse’s further consent, or that it
may be changed without such consent, and (iii) must be witnessed by the Committee, its representative, or a notary public. This requirement shall not apply if the Participant establishes to the Committee’s satisfaction that the Spouse may
not be located. 
 10.2-5 All distributions under this section shall
be determined and made in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and final Treasury Regulations Sections 1.401(a)(9)-1 through 1.401(a)(9)-9, including the minimum
distribution incidental benefit requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9)(G). These provisions override any distribution options in the Plan inconsistent with Code Section 401(a)(9). 

  
 -28- 













 10.3 Marital Status. The Committee, the Plan, the Trustee, and
the Employers shall be fully protected and discharged from any liability to the extent of any benefit payments made as a result of the Committee’s good faith and reasonable reliance upon information obtained from a Participant and his Employer
as to his marital status. 
 10.4 Delay in Benefit Determination. If the Committee is unable to determine the
benefits payable to a Participant or Beneficiary on or before the latest date prescribed for payment pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.2, the benefits shall in any event be paid within 60 days after they can first be determined, with whatever
makeup payments may be appropriate in view of the delay. 
 10.5 Accounting for Benefit Payments. Any benefit
payment shall be charged to the Participant’s Account as of the first day of the Valuation Period in which the payment is made. 

10.6 Options to Receive Stock. Unless ownership of virtually all Stock is restricted to active Employees and
qualified retirement plans for the benefit of Employees pursuant to the certificates of incorporation or by laws of the Employers issuing Stock, a terminated Participant or the Beneficiary of a deceased Participant may instruct the Committee to
distribute the Participant’s entire vested interest in his Account in cash, Stock or a combination of cash and Stock. In the event the Participant elects to receive all Stock, the Committee shall apply the Participant’s vested interest in
the Investment Fund to purchase sufficient Stock from the Stock Fund or from any owner of Stock to make the required distribution. If Stock acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan available for distribution consist of more than one class of
Stock, the Participant (or Beneficiary, if applicable) must receive substantially the same proportion of each such class. 

Any Participant who receives Stock pursuant to Section 10.1, and any person who has received Stock from the Plan or from
such a Participant by reason of the Participant’s death or incompetence, by reason of divorce or separation from the Participant, or by reason of a rollover contribution described in Section 402(a)(5) of the Code, shall have the right to
require the Employer which issued the Stock to purchase the Stock for its current fair market value (hereinafter referred to as the “put right”). The put right shall be exercisable by written notice to the Committee during the first 60
days after the Stock is distributed by the Plan, and, if not exercised in that period, during the first 60 days in the following Plan Year after the Committee has communicated to the Participant its determination as to the Stock’s current fair
market value. However, the put right shall not apply to the extent that the Stock, at the time the put right would otherwise be exercisable, is Readily Tradable on an Established Securities Market. Similarly, the put option shall not apply with
respect to the portion of a Participant’s Account which the Employee elected to have reinvested under Code Section 401(a)(28)(B). If the put right is exercised, the Trustee may, if so directed by the Committee in its sole discretion,
assume the Employer’s rights and obligations with respect to purchasing the Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a plan established by a bank (as defined in Code Section 581), the put option shall not
apply if prohibited by a federal or state law and Participants are entitled to elect their benefits be distributed in cash. 

The Employer or the Trustee, as the case may be, may elect to pay for the Stock in equal periodic installments, not less
frequently than annually, over a period beginning not later than 30 days after the exercise of the put right and not exceeding five years, with adequate security and 

  
 -29- 













 
interest at a reasonable rate on the unpaid balance, all such terms to be set forth in a promissory note delivered to the seller with normal terms as to acceleration upon any uncured default.

 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate any Employer to register any Stock under any federal or state
securities law or to create or maintain a public market to facilitate the transfer or disposition of any Stock. The put right described herein may only be exercised by a person described in the second preceding paragraph, and may not be transferred
with any Stock to any other person. As to all Stock purchased by the Plan in exchange for any Exempt Loan, the put right shall be nonterminable. The put right for Stock acquired through an Exempt Loan shall continue with respect to such Stock after
the Exempt Loan is repaid or the Plan ceases to be an employee stock ownership plan. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if securities acquired with the proceeds of an exempt loan available for distribution consist of more than one
class, a distributee must receive substantially the same proportion of each such class, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 54.4975-11(f)(2). 

10.7 Restrictions on Disposition of Stock. Except in the case of Stock which is traded on an established market,
a Participant who receives Stock pursuant to Section 10.1, and any person who has received Stock from the Plan or from such a Participant by reason of the Participant’s death or incompetence, by reason of divorce or separation from the
Participant, or by reason of a rollover contribution described in Section 402(a)(5) of the Code, shall, prior to any sale or other transfer of the Stock to any other person, first offer the Stock to the issuing Employer and to the Plan at the
greater of (i) its current fair market value, or (ii) the purchase price offered in good faith by an independent third party purchaser. This restriction shall apply to any transfer, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law,
and whether for consideration or gratuitous. Either the Employer or the Trustee may accept the offer within 14 days after it is delivered. Any Stock distributed by the Plan shall bear a conspicuous legend describing the right of first refusal under
this Section 10.7, as well as any other restrictions upon the transfer of the Stock imposed by federal and state securities laws and regulations. 

10.8 Continuing Loan Provisions; Creations of Protections and Rights. Except as otherwise provided in Sections
10.6 and 10.7 and this Section, no shares of Employer Stock held or distributed by the Trustee may be subject to a put, call or other option, or buy-sell arrangement. The provisions of this Section shall
continue to be applicable to such Stock even if the Plan ceases to be an employee stock ownership plan under Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code. 

10.9 Direct Rollover of Eligible Distribution. A Participant or distributee may elect, at the time and in the
manner prescribed by the Trustee or the Committee, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant or distributee in a direct rollover. 

10.9-1 An “eligible rollover” is any distribution that does
not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the
Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9); any hardship distribution described in
Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(IV) of the Code; and the portion of any distribution that is not included in 

  
 -30- 













 
gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities). A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible
rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement
account or annuity described in section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is
includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible. 
 10.9-2 An “eligible retirement plan” is an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b), a deemed individual
retirement account described in Code Section 408(q), an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a), a Roth individual retirement account in accordance with Code Section 408A(e), or a qualified trust described in Code
Section 401(a), that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution. An eligible retirement plan shall also include an annuity contract described in Section 403(b) of the Code and an eligible plan under Section 457(b)
of the Code which is maintained by a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. 

10.9-3 A “direct rollover” is a payment by the Plan to the
eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. 
 10.9-4 The
term “distributee” shall refer to a deceased Participant’s Spouse or a Participant’s former Spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), and shall include non-spouse Beneficiaries pursuant to Code Section 402(c)(11). 
 10.9-5 The Committee shall provide Participants or other distributes of eligible rollover distributions with a written notice designed to comply with the requirements of Code Section 402(f). Such notice shall
be provided within a reasonable period of time before making an eligible rollover distribution. Such notice may be provided up to 180 days before the first day of the first period for which an amount is payable. 

10.10 Waiver of 30-Day Period After Notice of Distribution. If a
distribution is one to which Sections 402(f) and 411(a)(11) of the Code apply, such distribution may commence less than 30 days after the notice required Section 1.402(f)-1 or 1.411(a)-11(c) of the Treasury Regulations is given, provided that: 
 (i)
the Trustee or Committee, as applicable, clearly informs the Participant that the Participant has a right to a period of at least 30 days after receiving the notice to consider the decision of whether or not to elect a rollover or a distribution
(and, if applicable, a particular option), and 
 (ii) the Participant, after receiving the notice,
affirmatively elects a distribution.

	Section 11.	 Rules Governing Benefit Claims and Review of Appeals. 



11.1 Claim for Benefits. Any Participant or Beneficiary who qualifies for the payment of benefits shall file a
claim for his benefits with the Committee on a form provided by the Committee. The claim, including any election of an alternative benefit form, shall be filed at least 30 days before the date on which the benefits are to begin. If a Participant or
Beneficiary fails to file a claim by the day before the date on which benefits become payable, he shall be presumed to have filed a claim for payment for the Participant’s benefits in the standard form prescribed by Sections 10.1 or 10.2. 

11.2 Notification by Committee. Within 90 days after receiving a claim for benefits (or within 180 days, if
special circumstances require an extension of time and written notice of the extension is given to the Participant or Beneficiary within 90 days after receiving the claim for benefits), the Committee shall notify the Participant or Beneficiary
whether the claim has been approved or denied. If the Committee denies a claim in any respect, the Committee shall set forth in a written notice to the Participant or Beneficiary: 

(i) each specific reason for the denial; 

(ii) specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; 

(iii) a description of any additional material or information which could be submitted by the Participant or
Beneficiary to support his claim, with an explanation of the relevance of such information; and 
 (iv) an
explanation of the claims review procedures set forth in Section 11.3. 
 11.3 Claims Review Procedure.
Within 60 days after a Participant or Beneficiary receives notice from the Committee that his claim for benefits has been denied in any respect, he may file with the Committee a written notice of appeal setting forth his reasons for disputing the
Committee’s determination. In connection with his appeal the Participant or Beneficiary or his representative may inspect or purchase copies of pertinent documents and records to the extent not inconsistent with other Participants’
and Beneficiaries’ rights of privacy. Within 60 days after receiving a notice of appeal from a prior determination (or within 120 days, if special circumstances require an extension of time and written notice of the extension is given to the
Participant or Beneficiary and his representative within 60 days after receiving the notice of appeal), the Committee shall furnish to the Participant or Beneficiary and his representative, if any, a written statement of the Committee’s final
decision with respect to his claim, including the reasons for such decision and the particular Plan provisions upon which it is based. 
  

	Section 12.	 The Committee and its Functions. 



12.1 Authority of Committee. The Committee shall be the “plan administrator” within the meaning of
ERISA and shall have exclusive responsibility and authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan, including the interpretation and application of its provisions, except to the extent such responsibility and authority
are otherwise specifically (i) allocated to the Bank, the Employers, or the Trustee under the Plan and Trust Agreement, (ii) 

  
 -32- 













 
delegated in writing to other persons by the Bank, the Employers, the Committee, or the Trustee, or (iii) allocated to other parties by operation of law. The Committee shall have exclusive
responsibility regarding decisions concerning the payment of benefits under the Plan. The Committee shall have no investment responsibility with respect to the Investment Fund except to the extent, if any, specifically provided in the Trust
Agreement. In the discharge of its duties, the Committee may employ accountants, actuaries, legal counsel, and other agents (who also may be employed by an Employer or the Trustee in the same or some other capacity) and may pay their reasonable
expenses and compensation. 
 12.2 Identity of Committee. The Committee shall consist of three or more
individuals selected by the Bank. Any individual, including a director, trustee, shareholder, officer, or Employee of an Employer, shall be eligible to serve as a member of the Committee. The Bank shall have the power to remove any individual
serving on the Committee at any time without cause upon 10 days written notice, and any individual may resign from the Committee at any time upon 10 days written notice to the Bank. The Bank shall notify the Trustee of any change in membership of
the Committee. 
 12.3 Duties of Committee. The Committee shall keep whatever records may be necessary to
implement the Plan and shall furnish whatever reports may be required from time to time by the Bank. The Committee shall furnish to the Trustee whatever information may be necessary to properly administer the Trust. The Committee shall see to the
filing with the appropriate government agencies of all reports and returns required of the Plan under ERISA and other laws. 

Further, the Committee shall have exclusive responsibility and authority with respect to the Plan’s holdings of Stock and
shall direct the Trustee in all respects regarding the purchase, retention, sale, exchange, and pledge of Stock and the creation and satisfaction of Exempt Loans. The Committee shall at all times act consistently with the Bank’s long-term intention that the Plan, as an employee stock ownership plan, be invested primarily in Stock. Subject to the direction of the board as to the application of Employer contributions to Exempt Loans, and
subject to the provisions of Sections 6.4 and 10.6 as to Participants’ rights under certain circumstances to have their Accounts invested in Stock or in assets other than Stock, the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion the extent to
which assets of the Trust shall be used to repay Exempt Loans, to purchase Stock, or to invest in other assets to be selected by the Trustee or an investment manager. No provision of the Plan relating to the allocation or vesting of any interests in
the Stock Fund or the Investment Fund shall restrict the Committee from changing any holdings of the Trust, whether the changes involve an increase or a decrease in the Stock or other assets credited to Participants’ Accounts. In determining
the proper extent of the Trust’s investment in Stock, the Committee shall be authorized to employ investment counsel, legal counsel, appraisers, and other agents and to pay their reasonable expenses and compensation. 

12.4 Valuation of Stock. If the Stock is not Readily Tradable on an Established Securities Market, the valuation
of such Stock shall be determined by an independent appraiser. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “independent appraiser” means any appraiser meeting requirements similar to the requirements of the regulations prescribed
under Code Section 170(a)(1). The Valuation Date for all Plan transactions, including transactions between the Plan 

  
 -33- 













 
and a disqualified person, shall be the date of the transaction, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 54.4975-11(d)(5). 

12.5 Compliance with ERISA. The Committee shall perform all acts necessary to comply with ERISA. Each individual
member or employee of the Committee shall discharge his duties in good faith and in accordance with the applicable requirements of ERISA. 

12.6 Action by Committee. All actions of the Committee shall be governed by the affirmative vote of a number of
members which is a majority of the total number of members currently appointed, including vacancies. 
 12.7 Execution
of Documents. Any instrument executed by the Committee shall be signed by any member or employee of the Committee. 

12.8 Adoption of Rules. The Committee shall adopt such rules and regulations of uniform applicability as it
deems necessary or appropriate for the proper administration and interpretation of the Plan. 
 12.9 Responsibilities
to Participants. The Committee shall determine which Employees qualify to enter the Plan. The Committee shall furnish to each Eligible Employee whatever summary plan descriptions, summary annual reports, and other notices and information may
be required under ERISA. The Committee also shall determine when a Participant or his Beneficiary qualifies for the payment of benefits under the Plan. The Committee shall furnish to each such Participant or Beneficiary whatever information is
required under ERISA (or is otherwise appropriate) to enable the Participant or Beneficiary to make whatever elections may be available pursuant to Sections 6 and 10, and the Committee shall provide for the payment of benefits in the proper form and
amount from the assets of the Trust Fund. The Committee may decide in its sole discretion to permit modifications of elections and to defer or accelerate benefits to the extent consistent with applicable law and the Plan document and the best
interests of all Participants and Beneficiaries in a non-discriminatory manner. 

12.10 Alternative Payees in Event of Incapacity. If the Committee finds at any time that an individual
qualifying for benefits under this Plan is a minor or is incompetent, the Committee may direct the benefits to be paid, in the case of a minor, to his parents, his legal guardian, or a custodian for him under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, or, in
the case of an incompetent, to his spouse, or his legal guardian, the payments to be used for the individual’s benefit. The Committee and the Trustee shall not be obligated to inquire as to the actual use of the funds by the person receiving
them under this Section 12.10, and any such payment shall completely discharge the obligations of the Plan, the Trustee, the Committee, and the Employers to the extent of the payment. 

12.11 Indemnification by Employers. Except as separately agreed in writing, the Committee, and any member or
employee of the Committee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Employer, jointly and severally, to the fullest extent permitted by ERISA, and subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121, to the extent
applicable, against any and all costs, damages, expenses, and liabilities reasonably incurred by or imposed upon it or him in connection with any claim made against it or him or in which it or he 

  
 -34- 













 
may be involved by reason of its or his being, or having been, the Committee, or a member or employee of the Committee, to the extent such amounts are not paid by insurance. 

12.12 Nonparticipation by Interested Member. Any member of the Committee who also is a Participant in the Plan
shall take no part in any determination specifically relating to his own participation or benefits, unless his abstention would leave the Committee incapable of acting on the matter. 

 

	Section 13.	 Adoption, Amendment, or Termination of the Plan. 



13.1 Adoption of Plan by Other Employers. With the consent of the Bank, any entity may become a participating
Employer under the Plan by (i) taking such action as shall be necessary to adopt the Plan, (ii) becoming a party to the Trust Agreement establishing the Trust Fund, and (iii) executing and delivering such instruments and taking such
other action as may be necessary or desirable to put the Plan into effect with respect to the entity’s Employees. 

13.2 Plan Adoption Subject to Qualification. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the adoption of
the Plan and the execution of the Trust Agreement are conditioned upon their being determined initially by the Internal Revenue Service to meet the qualification requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code, so that the Employers may deduct
currently for federal income tax purposes their contributions to the Trust and so that the Participants may exclude the contributions from their gross income and recognize income only when they receive benefits. In the event that this Plan is held
by the Internal Revenue Service not to qualify initially under Section 401(a), the Plan may be amended retroactively to the earliest date permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulations in order to secure qualification under Section 401(a). If this
Plan is held by the Internal Revenue Service not to qualify initially under Section 401(a) either as originally adopted or as amended, each Employer’s contributions to the Trust under this Plan (including any earnings thereon) shall be
returned to it and this Plan shall be terminated. In the event that this Plan is amended after its initial qualification and the Plan as amended is held by the Internal Revenue Service not to qualify under Section 401(a), the amendment may be
modified retroactively to the earliest date permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulations in order to secure approval of the amendment under Section 401(a). In addition, reversions of Employer contributions (including earnings or losses attributable
thereto) are permitted within one year after the applicable determination date, if the reversion is due to a good faith mistake of fact. 

13.3 Right to Amend or Terminate. The Bank intends to continue this Plan as a permanent program. However, each
participating Employer separately reserves the right to suspend, supersede, or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason, as it applies to that Employer’s Employees, and the Bank reserves the right to amend, suspend, supersede, merge,
consolidate, or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason, as it applies to the Employees of each Employer. No amendment, suspension, supersession, merger, consolidation, or termination of the Plan shall (i) reduce any
Participant’s or Beneficiary’s proportionate interest in the Trust Fund, (ii) reduce or restrict, either directly or indirectly, the benefit provided any Participant prior to the amendment, or (iii) divert any portion of the
Trust Fund to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities under the Plan. Moreover, there shall not be any transfer of assets to a successor plan or merger or
consolidation with another plan unless, in the event of the termination of the successor plan or the 

  
 -35- 













 
surviving plan immediately following such transfer, merger, or consolidation, each participant or beneficiary would be entitled to a benefit equal to or greater than the benefit he would have
been entitled to if the plan in which he was previously a participant or beneficiary had terminated immediately prior to such transfer, merger, or consolidation. Following a termination of this Plan by the Bank, the Trustee shall continue to
administer the Trust and pay benefits in accordance with the Plan as amended from time to time and the Committee’s instructions. 
  

	Section 14.	 Miscellaneous Provisions. 



14.1 Plan Creates No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Plan shall be interpreted as giving any Employee the
right to be retained as an Employee by an Employer, or as limiting or affecting the rights of an Employer to control its Employees or to terminate the Service of any Employee at any time and for any reason, subject to any applicable employment or
collective bargaining agreements. 
 14.2 Nonassignability of Benefits. No assignment, pledge,
or other anticipation of benefits from the Plan will be permitted or recognized by the Employer, the Committee, or the Trustee. Moreover, benefits from the Plan shall not be subject to attachment, garnishment, or other legal process for debts or
liabilities of any Participant or Beneficiary, to the extent permitted by law. This prohibition on assignment or alienation shall apply to any judgment, decree, or order (including approval of a property settlement agreement) which relates to the
provision of child support, alimony, or property rights to a present or former spouse, child or other dependent of a Participant pursuant to a state domestic relations or community property law, unless the judgment, decree, or order is determined by
the Committee to be a qualified domestic relations order within the meaning of Section 414(p) of the Code, as more fully set forth in Section 14.12 hereof. 

14.3 Limit of Employer Liability. The liability of the Employer with respect to Participants under this Plan
shall be limited to making contributions to the Trust from time to time, in accordance with Section 4. 
 14.4
Treatment of Expenses. All expenses incurred by the Committee and the Trustee in connection with administering this Plan and Trust Fund shall be paid by the Trustee from the Trust Fund to the extent the expenses have not been paid or
assumed by the Employer or by the Trustee. The Committee may determine that, and shall inform the Trustee when, reasonable expenses may be charged directly to the Account or Accounts of a Participant or group of Participants to whom or for whose
benefit such expenses are allocable, subject to the guidelines set forth in Field Assistance Bulletin 2003-03, to the extent not superseded, or any successor directive issued by the Department of Labor. 

14.5 Number and Gender. Any use of the singular shall be interpreted to include the plural, and the plural the
singular. Any use of the masculine, feminine, or neuter shall be interpreted to include the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the context shall require. 

14.6 Nondiversion of Assets. Except as provided in Sections 5.2 and 14.12, under no
circumstances shall any portion of the Trust Fund be diverted to or used for any purpose other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities under the Plan. 

  
 -36- 













 14.7 Separability of Provisions. If any
provision of this Plan is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Plan shall not be affected but shall be applied as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included in the Plan. 

14.8 Service of Process. The agent for the service of process upon the Plan shall be the president of the Bank,
or such other person as may be designated from time to time by the Bank. 
 14.9 Governing State Law. This
Plan shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama to the extent those laws are applicable under the provisions of ERISA. 

14.10 Employer Contributions Conditioned on Deductibility. Employer Contributions to the Plan are
conditioned on deductibility under Code Section 404. In the event that the Internal Revenue Service shall determine that all or any portion of an Employer Contribution is not deductible under that Section, the nondeductible portion shall be
returned to the Employer within one year of the disallowance of the deduction. 
 14.11 Unclaimed Accounts.
Neither the Employer nor the Trustees shall be under any obligation to search for, or ascertain the whereabouts of, any Participant or Beneficiary. The Employer or the Trustees, by certified or registered mail addressed to his last known address of
record with the Employer, shall notify any Participant or Beneficiary that he is entitled to a distribution under this Plan, and the notice shall quote the provisions of this Section. If the Participant or Beneficiary fails to claim his benefits or
make his whereabouts known in writing to the Employer or the Trustees within seven (7) calendar years after the date of notification, the benefits of the Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan will be disposed of as follows: 

(i) If the whereabouts of the Participant is unknown but the whereabouts of the Participant’s Beneficiary
is known to the Trustees, distribution will be made to the Beneficiary. 
 (ii) If the whereabouts of the
Participant and his Beneficiary are unknown to the Trustees, the Plan will forfeit the benefit, provided that the benefit is subject to a claim for reinstatement if the Participant or Beneficiary make a claim for the forfeited benefit. 

Any payment made pursuant to the power herein conferred upon the Trustees shall operate as a complete discharge of all
obligations of the Trustees, to the extent of the distributions so made. 
 14.12 Qualified Domestic Relations
Order. Section 14.2 shall not apply to a “qualified domestic relations order” defined in Code Section 414(p), and such other domestic relations orders permitted to be so treated under the provisions of the Retirement
Equity Act of 1984. Further, to the extent provided under a “qualified domestic relations order,” a former Spouse of a Participant shall be treated as the Spouse or surviving Spouse for all purposes under the Plan. 

In the case of any domestic relations order received by the Plan: 

(i) The Employer or the Committee shall promptly notify the Participant and any other alternate payee of the
receipt of such order and the Plan’s procedures for determining the qualified status of domestic relations orders, and 

  
 -37- 













 (ii) Within a reasonable period after receipt of such order,
the Employer or the Committee shall determine whether such order is a qualified domestic relations order and notify the Participant and each alternate payee of such determination. The Employer or the Committee shall establish reasonable procedures
to determine the qualified status of domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified orders. 

During any period in which the issue of whether a domestic relations order is a qualified domestic relations order is being
determined (by the Employer or Committee, by a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise), the Employer or the Committee shall segregate in a separate account in the Plan or in an escrow account the amounts which would have been payable to the
alternate payee during such period if the order had been determined to be a qualified domestic relations order. If within eighteen (18) months the order (or modification thereof) is determined to be a qualified domestic relations order, the
Employer or the Committee shall pay the segregated amounts (plus any interest thereon) to the person or persons entitled thereto. If within eighteen (18) months it is determined that the order is not a qualified domestic relations order, or the
issue as to whether such order is a qualified domestic relations order is not resolved, then the Employer or the Committee shall pay the segregated amounts (plus any interest thereon) to the person or persons who would have been entitled to such
amounts if there had been no order. Any determination that an order is a qualified domestic relations order which is made after the close of the eighteen (18) month period shall be applied prospectively only. The term “alternate
payee” means any Spouse, former Spouse, child or other dependent of a Participant who is recognized by a domestic relations order as having a right to receive all, or a portion of, the benefit payable under a Plan with respect to such
Participant. 
 14.13 Use of Electronic Media to Provide Notices and Make Participant Elections.
Pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)-21, the Plan may elect to use electronic media to provide notices required to be provided to Participants under the Plan and will accept elections
from Participants communicated to the Plan using such electronic media.  
 14.14 Acquisition of
Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, at no time shall the Plan be obligated to acquire securities from a particular security holder at an indefinite time determined upon the happening of an event such
as the death of the security holder, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 54.4975-11(a)(7)(i). 

14.15 Additional Benefits under Code Section 401(a)(37). Notwithstanding
any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(37), in the case of a Participant who dies while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code Section 414(u)), the survivors of the Participant are
entitled to any additional benefits (other than benefit accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) provided under the Plan had the Participant resumed and then terminated employment on account of death. The Plan currently does
not provide any such additional benefits, but if the Plan were to provide such additional benefits, then such survivors would be entitled to receive such benefits. 

  
 -38- 














	Section 15.	 Top-Heavy Provisions.



 15.1 Top-Heavy Plan. This Plan is top-heavy if any of the following conditions exist: 
 (i) If the top-heavy ratio for this Plan exceeds sixty percent (60%) and this Plan is not part of any required aggregation group or permissive aggregation group; 

(ii) If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation group (but is not part of a permissive aggregation group)
and the aggregate top-heavy ratio for the group of Plans exceeds sixty percent (60%); or 

(iii) If this Plan is a part of a required aggregation group and part of a permissive aggregation group and the
aggregate top-heavy ratio for the permissive aggregation group exceeds sixty percent (60%). 

15.2 Definitions. In making this determination, the Committee shall use the following definitions and
principles: 
 15.2-1 The “Determination Date,” with
respect to the first Plan Year of any plan, means the last day of that Plan Year, and with respect to each subsequent Plan Year, means the last day of the preceding Plan Year. If any other plan has a Determination Date which differs from this
Plan’s Determination Date, the top-heaviness of this Plan shall be determined on the basis of the other plan’s Determination Date falling within the same calendar years as this Plan’s
Determination Date. 
 15.2-2 A “Key Employee” means any
employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the plan year that includes the determination date was an officer of the employer having annual compensation greater than $170,000 (as adjusted under section
416(i)(1) of the Code), a 5-percent owner of the employer, or a 1-percent owner of the employer having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose,
annual compensation means compensation within the meaning of section 415(c)(3) of the Code. The determination of who is a key employee will be made in accordance with section 416(i)(1) of the Code and the applicable regulations and other guidance of
general applicability issued thereunder. 
 15.2-3 A “Non-key Employee” means an Employee who at any time during the five years ending on the top-heavy Determination Date for the Plan Year has received compensation
from an Employer and who has never been a Key Employee, and the Beneficiary of any such Employee. 
 15.2-4 A “required aggregation group” includes (a) each qualified Plan of the Employer in which at least one Key Employee participates in the Plan Year containing the Determination Date and
(b) any other qualified Plan of the Employer which enables a Plan described in (a) to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a qualified Plan of the Employer includes a terminated
Plan maintained by the Employer within the period ending on the Determination Date. In the case of a required aggregation group, each Plan in the group will be considered a top-heavy Plan if the required
aggregation group is a top-heavy group. No Plan in the required 

  
 -39- 













 
aggregation group will be considered a top-heavy Plan if the required aggregation group is not a top-heavy group.
All Employers aggregated under Code Sections 414(b), (c) or (m) or (o) (but only after the Code Section 414(o) regulations become effective) are considered a single Employer. 

15.2-5 A “permissive aggregation group” includes the required
aggregation group of Plans plus any other qualified Plan(s) of the Employer that are not required to be aggregated but which, when considered as a group with the required aggregation group, satisfy the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410
and are comparable to the Plans in the required aggregation group. No Plan in the permissive aggregation group will be considered a top-heavy Plan if the permissive aggregation group is not a top-heavy group. Only a Plan that is part of the required aggregation group will be considered a top-heavy Plan if the permissive aggregation group is top-heavy. 
 15.3 Top-Heavy Rules of
Application. For purposes of determining the value of Account balances and the present value of accrued benefits the following provisions shall apply: 

15.3-1 The value of Account balances and the present value of accrued
benefits will be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the twelve (12) month period ending on the Determination Date. 

15.3-2 For purposes of testing whether this Plan is top-heavy, the present value of an individual’s accrued benefits and an individual’s Account balances is counted only once each year. 

15.3-3 The Account balances and accrued benefits of a Participant who
is not presently a Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1984 will be disregarded. 

15.3-4 Employer contributions attributable to a salary reduction or
similar arrangement will be taken into account. Employer matching contributions also shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Section 416(c)(2) of the Code and the Plan. 

15.3-5 When aggregating Plans, the value of Account balances and
accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year. 

15.3-6 The present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of
account balances of an employee as of the determination date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the plan and any plan aggregated with the plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the 1-year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the plan under
Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting “five (5) year period” for “one
(1) year period.”

 15.3-7 Accrued
benefits and Account balances of an individual shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the top-heavy ratios if the individual has performed no services for the Employer during the one
(1) year period ending on the applicable Determination Date. Compensation for purposes of this subparagraph shall not include any payments made to an individual by the Employer pursuant to a qualified or
non-qualified deferred compensation plan. 
 15.3-8 The present value of the accrued benefits or the amount of the Account balances of any Employee participating in this Plan shall not include any rollover contributions or other transfers voluntarily initiated
by the Employee except as described below. If this Plan transfers or rolls over funds to another Plan in a transaction voluntarily initiated by the Employee, then this Plan shall count the distribution for purposes of determining Account balances or
the present value of accrued benefits. A transfer incident to a merger or consolidation of two or more Plans of the Employer (including Plans of related Employers treated as a single Employer under Code Section 414), or a transfer or rollover
between Plans of the Employer, shall not be considered as voluntarily initiated by the Employee. 
 15.4 Minimum
Contributions. For any Top-Heavy Year, each Employer shall make a special contribution on behalf of each Participant to the extent that the total allocations to his Account pursuant to Section 4
is less than the lesser of: 
 (i) three percent of his 415 Compensation for that year, or 

(ii) the highest ratio of such allocation to 415 Compensation received by any Key Employee for that
year. For purposes of the special contribution of this Section 15.2, a Key Employee’s 415 Compensation shall include amounts the Key Employee elected to defer under a qualified 401(k) arrangement. Such a special contribution shall be
made on behalf of each Participant who is employed by an Employer on the last day of the Plan Year, regardless of the number of his Hours of Service, and shall be allocated to his Account. 

If the Employer maintains a qualified plan in addition to this Plan and more than one such plan is determined to be Top-Heavy, a minimum contribution or a minimum benefit shall be provided in one of such other plans, including a plan that consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of
Section 401(k)(12) of the Code and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Section 401(m)(11) of the Code are met. 

15.5 Top-Heavy Provisions Control in
Top-Heavy Plan. In the event this Plan becomes top-heavy and a conflict arises between the top-heavy provisions herein
set forth and the remaining provisions set forth in this Plan, the top-heavy provisions shall control.
