Executive and accepted by the Company during the Executive’s lifetime. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases the Executive, or if the Executive names a spouse as
beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary designation, all payments shall be made to the Executive’s estate.

incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Company may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incapacitated person or incapable person. The Company may
require proof of incapacity, minority or guardianship, as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge the Company from all liability with respect to such benefit. 
 Article 5 
 General Limitations 
 5.1    Excess Parachute Payment. The amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 9 of the Employment Agreement.

 5.2    No Benefits Payable. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if (i) the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause, or (ii) the Executive resigns his employment with the Company other than for
Good Reason prior to the earlier of Normal Retirement Age or a Change in Control. 
 5.3    Removal.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency
pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”). 
 5.4    Competition
after Termination of Employment. The Executive shall forfeit his right to any further benefits if the Executive, without the prior written consent of the Company, violates any one of the following described restrictive covenants. 
 5.4.1    Non-compete Provision. The Executive shall not, for the term of this Agreement and until all
benefits have been distributed, directly or indirectly, either as an individual or as a proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent, consultant or independent contractor of any individual, partnership, corporation or other
entity (excluding an ownership interest of three percent (3%) or less in the stock of a publicly traded company): 
 (i)    become employed by, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any bank, savings and loan or other similar financial institution if the Executive’s
responsibilities will include providing banking or other financial services within the twenty-five (25) miles of any office maintained by the Company as of the date of the termination of the Executive’s employment; or 
 (ii)    participate in any way in hiring or otherwise engaging, or assisting any other person or entity in
hiring or otherwise engaging, on a temporary, part-time or permanent basis, any individual who was employed by the Company as of the date of termination of the Executive’s employment; or

provide banking or other financial services, assist any other person in selling or providing banking or other financial services, or solicit or otherwise compete for, either directly or indirectly, any orders, contract, or accounts for services of a
kind or nature like or substantially similar to the financial services performed or financial products sold by the Company (the preceding hereinafter referred to as “Services”), to or from any person or entity from whom the Executive or
the Company, to the knowledge of the Executive provided banking or other 

  

 -6- 








 
financial services, sold, offered to sell or solicited orders, contracts or accounts for Services during the three (3) year period immediately prior to the
termination of the Executive’s employment; or 
 (v)    divulge, disclose, or communicate to
others in any manner whatsoever, any confidential information of the Company, to the knowledge of the Executive, including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of customers or prospective customers, of the Company, as they may have existed
from time to time, of work performed or services rendered for any customer, any method and/or procedures relating to projects or other work developed for the Company, earnings or other information concerning the Company. The restrictions contained
in this subparagraph (v) apply to all information regarding the Company, regardless of the source who provided or compiled such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all information referred to herein shall not be disclosed
unless and until it becomes known to the general public from sources other than the Executive. 
 5.4.2    Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any provision of these restrictions, the Executive recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or
threatened breach will impose upon the Company, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Company. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Executive
consents to the Company’s entitlement to such ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Company’s rights hereunder and
preventing the Executive from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. The Executive expressly waives any requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source, that the Company post a bond as a condition of
obtaining any of the above-described remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
damages from the Executive. The Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4.1 hereof are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the protections
afforded the Company in Section 5.4.1 hereof are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4.1 hereof will not be materially adverse to the Executive’s employment with
the Company, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement. 
 5.4.3    Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant. It is the intention of the parties that if any restrictive covenant in this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly
broad, then the court should enforce such restrictive covenant to the maximum extent permitted under the law as to area, breadth and duration. 
 5.4.4    Change in Control. The non-compete provision detailed in Section 5.4.1 hereof shall not be enforceable following a Change in Control. 
  

 -7- 








 5.5 Suicide or Misstatement. No benefits shall be payable if the Executive commits suicide
within two years after the date of this Agreement, or if the insurance company denies coverage for material misstatements of fact made by the Executive on any application for life insurance purchased by the Company, or any other reason; provided,
however that the Company shall evaluate the reason for the denial, and upon advice of legal counsel and in its sole discretion, consider judicially challenging any denial.

 LAKELAND BANK 
 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreement 

 FIRST AMENDMENT 
 TO THE 
 LAKELAND BANK 
 SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN AGREEMENT 
 DATED
AUGUST 21, 2003 
 FOR ROGER BOSMA 
  
 THIS FIRST AMENDMENT is adopted this 13th day of December, 2006, effective as of January 1, 2005, by and among Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a New Jersey corporation which maintains
its principal office at 250 Oak Ridge Road, Oak Ridge, New Jersey, 07435, Lakeland Bank (the “Bank”), a New Jersey chartered commercial bank, with an office at 1 Lakeland Plaza, Newfoundland, New Jersey 07435 (the Corporation and the Bank
are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”), and Roger Bosma (the “Executive”), intending to be legally bound hereby. 
 The Company and the Executive executed the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreement effective as of August 21, 2003. 
 The undersigned hereby amend the Agreement for the purpose of bringing the Agreement into compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the following changes shall be made: 
 Section 1.1.3 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following: 
  

			
	 1.1.3
	  	 “Change in Control” means a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company,
as such change is defined in Section 409A of the Code and regulations thereunder.


    The following Section 1.1.11a shall be added to the Agreement immediately
following Section 1.1.11: 
  

			
	1.1.11a	 	        “Specified Employee” means a key employee (as defined in Section 416(i) of the Code without regard to paragraph 5 thereof) of the
Company if any stock of the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, as determined by the plan administrator based on the twelve (12) month period ending each December 31 (the “identification
period”). If the Executive is determined to be a Specified Employee for an identification period, the Executive shall be treated as a Specified Employee for purposes of this Agreement during the twelve (12) month period that begins on the
first day of the fourth month following the close of the identification period.

 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreement 

     Section 1.1.12 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following: 
  

	1.1.12  	 “Termination of Employment” means the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for reasons other than death. Whether a Termination
of Employment takes place is determined in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury guidance or Regulations based on the facts and circumstances surrounding the termination of the Executive’s employment
and whether the Company and the Executive intended for the Executive to provide significant services for the Company following such termination. A Termination of Employment will not have occurred if: 


  

	 	(a)	 the Executive continues to provide services as an employee of the Company at an annual rate that is twenty percent (20%) or more of the services rendered, on average,
during the immediately preceding three (3) full calendar years of employment (or, if employed less than three (3) years, such lesser period) and the annual remuneration for such services is twenty percent (20%) or more of the average
annual remuneration earned during the final three (3) full calendar years of employment (or, if less, such lesser period), or 


  

	 	(b)	 the Executive continues to provide services to the Company in a capacity other than as an employee of the Company at an annual rate that is fifty percent (50%) or
more of the services rendered, on average, during the immediately preceding three (3) full calendar years of employment (or if employed less than three (3) years, such lesser period) and the annual remuneration for such services is fifty
percent (50%) or more of the average annual remuneration earned during the final three (3) full calendar years of employment (or if less, such lesser period). 


 The Executive’s employment relationship will be treated as continuing intact while the Executive is on military leave, sick leave, or other
bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave of absence does not exceed six (6) months, or if longer, so long as the Executive’s right to reemployment with the Company is provided either by statute or by contract. If the period
of leave exceeds six (6) months and there is no right to reemployment, a Termination of Employment will be deemed to have occurred as of the first date immediately following such six (6) month period. 
 The following Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 shall be added to the Agreement immediately following Section 2.3: 
  

	2.4	 Restriction on Timing of Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement 


  

 2 








 LAKELAND BANK 
 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreement 

 to the contrary, if the
Executive is considered a Specified Employee at Termination of Employment, the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall govern all distributions hereunder. Benefit distributions that are made due to a Termination of Employment occurring while the
Executive is a Specified Employee shall not be made during the first six (6) months following Termination of Employment, rather any distribution which would otherwise be paid to the Executive during such period shall be accumulated and paid to
the Executive in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Termination of Employment. All subsequent distributions shall be paid in the manner specified. 
  

	2.5	 Distributions Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A of the Code. If any amount is required to be included in income by the Executive prior to receipt due to
a failure of this Agreement to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury guidance or Regulations, the Executive may petition the plan administrator for a distribution of that portion the amount the Company has accrued with
respect to the Company’s obligations hereunder that is required to be included in the Executive’s income. Upon the grant of such a petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall distribute to the Executive
immediately available funds in an amount equal to the portion of the amount the Company has accrued with respect to the Company’s obligations hereunder required to be included in income as a result of the failure of this Agreement to meet the
requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury guidance or Regulations, which amount shall not exceed the Executive’s unpaid amount the Company has accrued with respect to the Company’s obligations hereunder. If the petition
is granted, such distribution shall be made within ninety (90) days of the date when the Executive’s petition is granted. Such a distribution shall affect and reduce the Executive’s benefits to be paid under this Agreement.



  

	2.6	 Change in Form or Timing of Distributions. All changes in the form or timing of distributions hereunder must comply with the following requirements. The changes:



  

	 	(a)	 may not accelerate the time or schedule of any distribution, except as provided in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder;




	 	(b)	 must, for benefits distributable under Sections 2.2 and 2.3, be made at least twelve (12) months prior to the first scheduled distribution;




	 	(c)	 must, for benefits distributable under Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 delay the commencement of distributions for a minimum of five (5) years from the date the first
distribution was originally scheduled to be made; and 



	 	(d)	 must take effect not less than twelve (12) months after the election is made. 


 Article 7 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

	7.1	 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Executive. However, the Company may unilaterally amend this
Agreement to conform with written directives to the Company from its auditors or banking regulators or to comply with legislative changes or tax law, including without limitation Section 409A of the Code and any and all Treasury regulations and
guidance promulgated thereunder. 


  

	7.2	 Plan Termination Generally. This Agreement may be terminated only by a written agreement signed by the Company and the Executive. The benefit hereunder shall be the
amount the Company has accrued with respect to the Company’s obligations hereunder as of the date the Agreement is terminated. Except as provided in Section 7.3, the termination of this Agreement shall not cause a distribution of benefits
under this Agreement. Rather, after such termination benefit distributions will be made at the earliest distribution event permitted under Article 2 or Article 3. 


  

	7.3	 Plan Terminations Under Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.2, if this Agreement terminates in the following
circumstances: 


  

	 	(a)	 Within thirty (30) days before or twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, provided that all distributions are made no later than twelve (12) months
following such termination of the Agreement and further provided that all the Company’s arrangements which are substantially similar to the Agreement are terminated so the Executive and all participants in the similar arrangements are required
to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve (12) months of the termination of the arrangements; 



	 	(b)	 Upon the Company’s dissolution or with the approval of a bankruptcy court provided that the amounts deferred under the Agreement are included in the Executive’s
gross income in the latest of (i) the calendar year in which the Agreement terminates; (ii) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or (iii) the first calendar year in which the
distribution is administratively practical; or 



	 	(c)	 Upon the Company’s termination of this and all other non-account balance plans (as referenced in Section 409A of the Code or the regulations thereunder),
provided that all distributions are made no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than twenty-four (24) months following such termination, and the Company does not adopt any new non-account balance plans for a minimum of five
(5) years following the date of such termination; 


 the Company may distribute the amount the Company has
accrued with respect to the Company’s obligations hereunder, determined as of the date of the termination of the Agreement, to the Executive in a lump sum subject to the above terms.
