ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION 

3.1. Eligibility. The Compensation Committee of the Board may, from time to time, in its sole discretion, designate one
or more Executives as eligible to participate in the Plan. 
 3.2. Participation. Each Executive who has been
designated as eligible to participate in the Plan shall become a Participant upon the contribution by the Bank of an award to the Participant’s Deferred Incentive Account and shall remain a Participant until such time that the Participant no
longer has a Deferred Incentive Account balance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent permissible under Code Section 409A, if the Compensation Committee of the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that a
Participant is not, or may not be, a member of a “select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), 401(a)(1) and 4021(b)(6) of ERISA, then the Compensation Committee of the Board
may, in its sole discretion, terminate such Participant’s participation in the Plan. 
 ARTICLE 4 

INCENTIVE AWARDS 

4.1. Deferred Incentive Awards. For each position there will be an amount as per the attached Schedule A that can be
earned each year assuming the Award Objectives are accomplished as determined by the Board of Directors each year, upon meeting all of the terms and conditions of such award, entitle the Participant to a payment in cash equal to the value of the
Participant’s Deferred Incentive Account. 
 4.2. Award Objectives. The Deferred Incentive Award for each
position is based upon the objectives determined by the Board of Directors. The specific goals are determined annually, are separate from this document, and are subject to change by action of the Board of Directors or President and CEO in
consultation with the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board. 
 4.3. Establishment of Participant
Account. The Administrator or designated representative shall establish one or more Participant Deferred Incentive Accounts in the name of each Participant on its books and records. All amounts credited to the Account of any Participant, or
Beneficiary shall constitute a general, unsecured liability of the Bank, as applicable, to such person. 
 4.4. Crediting
of Accounts. Amounts shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date of grant of the Deferred Incentive award to the Participant. 

4.5. Adjustment of Accounts for Earnings and Losses. Each Account shall be adjusted no less frequently than quarterly,
as determined by the Plan Administrator, by a rate of interest equal to six percent (6%) or ten (10) times the Bank’s ROA for the most recently completed year, whichever is greater though not to exceed a maximum rate of interest of 10%.
The determination of the appropriate rate of interest is in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator. If a Participant is paid all or a portion of his Account between interest crediting dates, no interest credit will apply for the period
from and after the immediately preceding 

  
 6 













 
interest crediting date through the date of payment, unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator. 

4.6. Payment of Amounts Credited to Participant Deferred Incentive Account. Unless payment has already been made from a
Participant’s deferral account under another paragraph of this section, the vested amounts credited to the Account will be paid on the dates, and in the form, as was originally specified by the Participant in his or her election form(s).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant terminates service and is a key employee, distribution may not be made before the date which is six months after the date of separation from service, or, if earlier, the date of death of the employee.
Key employee is defined in the section 416 (i) (without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. 

4.7. Payment of Amounts Credited to All Accounts upon Unforeseen Emergency. If a Participant has an “unforeseen
emergency” as defined in this paragraph, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay to the Participant only that portion of the vested portion of the Deferred Account that the Plan Administrator determines is necessary to satisfy
the emergency need, including any amounts to pay any federal, state or local income taxes reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution. A Participant requesting an emergency payment shall apply for the payment in writing in a form approved
by the Plan Administrator and shall provide such additional information as the Bank may require. “Unforeseen emergency” is defined as a severe financial hardship to the participant resulting from an illness or accident of the participant,
the participant’s spouse, or a dependent (as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 152(a)) of the participant, loss of the participant’s property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances
arising as a result of events beyond the control of the participant. The amounts distributed with respect to an emergency will not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a
result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which such hardship is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the participant’s assets (to the extent the
liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship). 
 4.8. Payment of Amounts Credited to All
Accounts upon Disability. In the event of the Participant’s disability prior to or after separation from service, all amounts credited to the Participant’s accounts shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible.
Disability is defined to mean that the Participant (i) is unable 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 can be expected to
last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, or the Participant (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a
continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Participant’s employer. 

4.9. Payment of Amounts Credited to All Accounts upon Death. In the event of the Participant’s death, all amounts
credited to the Participant’s accounts shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible to the person or persons designated by the Participant on a 

  
 7 













 
beneficiary designation form supplied by the Bank. The beneficiary designation may be changed from time to time by the Participant. In the absence of a valid beneficiary designation, or if there
is no living beneficiary validly named by the Participant, then the amounts credited to a Participant’s Accounts shall be paid in accordance with Article 6 of this Plan. 

4.10. Payment Upon Change in Control. If there is a Change in Control before a Participant becomes entitled to receive
benefits by reason of any of the above sections or before the Participant has received complete payment of his benefits under this Section, the Participant shall receive a lump sum payment of the amount credited to his account(s). Payment of any
amount under this section shall be made within thirty (30) days of when the Change in Control occurs. The amount payable from any account will be valued as of the date of distribution. 

ARTICLE 5

Incentive award agreement, all Deferred Incentive awards shall vest in accordance with the following:

be resolved by the Administrator. 
 ARTICLE 7 

RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIARIES 

7.1. Creditor Status of Participant and Beneficiary. The Plan constitutes the unfunded, unsecured promise of the Bank
to make payments to each Participant and/or Beneficiary in the future and shall be a liability solely against the general assets of the Bank. The Bank shall not be required to segregate, set aside or escrow any amounts for the benefit of any
Participant or Beneficiary. Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Bank and may look only to the Bank and their general assets for payment of benefits under the Plan. 

7.2. Rights with Respect to a Trust. Any trust and any assets held thereby to assist the Bank in meeting their
obligations under the Plan shall in no way be deemed to controvert the provisions of Article 8.1 herein.

annuities or other investments shall at all times be and remain unrestricted general property and assets of the Bank or property of a trust. Participants and Beneficiaries shall have no rights, other than as general creditors, with respect to such
policies, annuities or other acquired assets.

all times remain subject to the claims of general creditors of the Bank in the event of their insolvency as more fully described in the trust. 

8.2. Obligations of the Bank. Notwithstanding the fact that a trust may be established under Article 9.1 herein,
the Bank shall remain liable for paying the benefits under the Plan. However, any payment of benefits to a Participant or a Beneficiary made by such a trust or by the Bank shall satisfy the Bank’s obligation to make such payment to such person.

 8.3. Trust Terms. A trust established under Article 9.1 herein may be revocable by the Bank provided; however,

ARTICLE 9 

ADMINISTRATION 

9.1. Appointment of Administrator. The Compensation Committee of the Board may appoint the Administrator and the
Administrator may be removed or resign upon thirty (30) days written notice or such lesser period of notice as is mutually agreeable. Unless the Compensation Committee of the Board appoints another Administrator, the Compensation Committee of

 9.2. Powers and Duties of the Administrator. The Administrator shall
determine any and all questions of fact, resolve all questions of interpretation of the Plan which may arise under any of the provisions of the Plan as to which no other provision for determination is made hereunder, and exercise all other powers

ambiguities, inconsistencies and omissions, to determine any question of fact, and to determine the rights and benefits, if any, of any Participant, or other applicant, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The Administrator’s decision

shall be liable in that regard except for gross abuse of the discretion given it and them under the terms of the Plan. All determinations of the Administrator shall be made in a uniform, consistent and nondiscriminatory manner with respect to all
Participants and 

  
 10 













 
Beneficiaries in similar circumstances. The Administrator, from time to time, may designate one or more persons or agents to carry out any or all of its duties hereunder.
