2.  Term
of Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the initial term of employment hereunder shall
be for the two (2)-year period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the day preceding the two (2)-year anniversary of
the Effective Date. Beginning on the (2)-year anniversary of the Effective Date and continuing each year thereafter, the term of
employment hereunder shall be extended for another two (2) years, automatically, unless either party delivers notice to the contrary
to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to such two (2)-year anniversary, in which case the term of employment hereunder
shall expire as of the date to which it was last extended pursuant to this sentence. Such notice shall be delivered in a manner
consistent with the requirements of Section 12. References in this Agreement to the “Term” shall refer both to such
initial term and any successive terms.


 


3.  Compensation. In
consideration of the services to be rendered by Executive, Company shall pay to Executive during the initial Term:


 


(a) A
base salary of not less than Two Hundred Seventy Five Thousand dollars ($275,000) per annum for each year of the Term, payable
in equal installments over such payroll cycles as the Company pays its executive officers generally, with any salary for initial
or final partial months or other payroll periods being prorated based on the number of calendar days in question. It is understood
that the Board of Directors of the Company shall review Executive’s performance and make a determination regarding increases
in her salary at least once in every calendar year during the Term.


 






     


     


    

 


(b)        Incentive
Compensation in an amount, in such form, and at such time as is provided in such executive incentive plan for Executive, either
alone or for Executive and other officers and management employees of the Company, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors
of the Company and in effect from time to time. Such incentive compensation may take the form of cash payments (“Cash Bonus”),
transfers of stock, stock appreciation awards, restricted stock units or stock options (collectively, “Equity Awards”).
Equity Awards shall be subject to such restrictions, vesting and other conditions and limitations as set forth in such executive
incentive plan. For purposes of this Agreement, Cash Bonus and Equity Awards do not include any incentive compensation from Customers

5.  Termination
of Employment.


 


5.1       Termination
by Company; “Cause.” Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder at any
time, with or without “Cause” (as defined below). In the event of any termination by Company, Company shall give Executive
forty-five (45) days prior notice of any termination without Cause, but shall not be obligated to give Executive prior notice of
a termination with Cause. Company shall nevertheless be obligated to pay Executive such compensation and severance, if any, as
may be provided for in this Agreement under the applicable circumstances. Company will give Executive notice of termination of
her employment pursuant to a “Notice of Termination” (as defined below).


 


5.2       No
Right to Compensation or Benefits Except as Stated. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause,
Executive shall have no right to severance compensation of any kind, or any right to salary or other benefits for any period after
such date of termination. If Executive is terminated by Company other than for Cause, Executive’s rights to compensation
and benefits under this Agreement shall be as set forth in Section 5.5.


 


5.3       Termination
by Executive. Executive shall have the right to terminate her employment, whether or not for “Good Reason”
(as hereinafter defined), but, in all events, Executive shall give Company notice pursuant to a written “Notice of Termination”
(as defined below). If the termination by Executive is other than for Good Reason: (i) Executive must give Company a Notice of
Termination not less than forty five (45) days prior to the date her termination of employment will be effective, and (ii) Executive
shall have no right to severance compensation of any kind, or any right to salary or other benefits for any period after such date
of termination. If termination is by Executive for Good Reason, Executive’s rights to compensation and benefits under this
Agreement shall be as set forth in Section 5.5.


 






    2


     


    

 


5.4       Certain
Definitions.


 


(a) In
connection with a termination of Executive’s employment by the Company, “Cause” shall mean any one or more of
the following reasons: (l) the willful material failure by the Executive to perform the duties required of her hereunder (other
than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness of the Executive or material changes in the direction
and policies of the Board of Directors of Company), if such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after a written demand for
substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Company which specifically identifies the manner in which it is believed
that the Executive has failed to attempt to perform her duties hereunder; (2) the willful engaging by the Executive in willful
misconduct materially injurious to the Company; (3) receipt by the Company of a notice (which shall not have been appealed by Executive
or shall have become final and non-appealable) of any governmental body or entity having jurisdiction over the Company requiring
termination or removal of the Executive from her then present position, or receipt of a written directive or order of any governmental
body or entity having jurisdiction over the Company (which shall not have been appealed by Executive or shall have become final
and non-appealable) requiring termination or removal of the Executive from her then present position; (4) personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, willful breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit or conviction of a felony; or (5)
material breach of any provision set forth in Sections 6, 7, 8 or 9, to the extent applicable. For purposes of this section, no
act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be considered ‘‘willful’’ unless done or omitted
to be done by Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that her action or omission was in the best interest of Company.
Any act or omission to act by the Executive in reliance upon a written opinion of counsel to Company shall not be deemed to be
willful.


 


(b)        Good
Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean (1) a material breach by Company of the provisions
of this Agreement, which failure has not been cured within 30 days after a written notice of such noncompliance has been given
by Executive to Company; (2) any purported termination of Executive’s employment which is not effected in compliance with
the requirements of this Agreement; (3) any reduction in title or a material adverse change in Executive’s responsibilities
or authority which are inconsistent with, or the assignment to Executive of duties inconsistent with, Executive’s status
as Chief Executive Officer of Company; or (4) any reduction in Executive’s annual base salary as in effect on the date hereof
or as the same may be increased from time to time.


 


(c) Notice
of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment by Company or by Executive shall be communicated by written
Notice of Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean
a dated notice which shall (1) indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon; (2) set forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision
so indicated; and (3) be given in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 12.


 


5.5       Compensation
Upon Certain Types of Termination. If Executive shall terminate her employment for Good Reason during the Term, or if
Executive’s Employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause during the Term, or if Executive’s Employment
is terminated for any reason other than Cause upon expiration of the Term, then in lieu of any salary or damages payments to Executive
for periods subsequent to the date of termination, Company shall pay as “Severance Compensation” to Executive, in lieu
of all other damages, compensation and benefits other than any benefits the right to which shall have previously vested, an amount
(the “Severance Compensation”) equal to the following, depending upon whether a “Change in Control” (as
defined below) shall have occurred at the time of termination of employment:


 






    3


     


    

 


(a) If
a Change in Control shall not have occurred within twelve (12) months prior to the date of termination of Executive’s employment
with the Company, the Company shall pay Executive the following Severance Compensation, payable at the respective times and on
the respective conditions set forth in this subsection for each type of Severance Compensation:


 


(i)  Cash
Severance Compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to
receive a dollar amount equal to the sum of Executive’s then current base salary plus the average of the annual performance
bonus (consisting of both cash and other incentive compensation, but excluding the Company match of any deferred compensation)
provided to her with respect to the three (3) fiscal years of the Company immediately preceding the fiscal year of termination,
for the greater of two (2) years or the period of time remaining in the Term. This element of Severance Compensation shall be payable
in equal installments on the normal pay dates following Executive’s separation from service with the Company within the meaning
of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder (such Section and regulations are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as “Section 409A”). If, as of
the date of the Executive’s separation from service, stock of the Company or a holding company or other parent entity with
respect to the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, and if necessary to comply with Section
409A, payments otherwise due during the six (6)-month period following her separation from service shall be suspended and paid
in a lump sum upon completion of such six (6)-month period, at which time the balance of the payments shall commence in installments
as described in the preceding sentence. Payments shall be subject to deduction for such tax withholdings as Company may be obligated
to make;


 


(ii)        Equity
Awards. All Equity Awards shall be vested in full;


 


(iii)       Cash
Bonus. Executive shall be entitled to a fraction of any Cash Bonus for the fiscal year of the Company within which Executive’s
termination of employment occurs which, based upon the criteria established for such Cash Bonus, would have been payable to Executive
had she remained employed through the date of payment, the numerator of which is the number of days of such fiscal year prior to
her termination of employment and the denominator of which is three hundred and sixty-five (365); and


 






    4


     


    

 


(iv)       Insurance.
Company shall continue to provide health insurance (including dental if applicable) and any life insurance benefits for the shorter
of (i) the length of the severance measurement period set forth in Section 5.5(a)(i) above, or (ii) the maximum period the Company
is then permitted to extend each individual benefit under the applicable plan or policy or applicable law.


 


(b)        If
a Change in Control shall have occurred within twelve (12) months prior to the date of termination of Executive’s employment
with the Company, the Company shall pay Executive Severance Compensation equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the sum of Executive’s
then current base salary plus the average of the annual performance bonus (consisting of both cash and other incentive compensation,
but excluding the Company match of any deferred compensation) provided to her with respect to the three (3) fiscal years of the
Company immediately preceding the fiscal year of termination. The Severance Compensation shall be payable in a single lump sum
within thirty (30) days following Executive’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A. If, as of the date
of the Executive’s separation from service, stock of the Company or a holding company or other parent entity with respect
to the Company is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, and if necessary to comply with Section 409A,
payment of the lump sum shall be suspended and paid within the thirty (30)-day period following the close of the six (6)-month
period following her separation from service. Payments shall be subject to deduction for such tax withholdings as Company may be
obligated to make. In addition to the aforesaid Executive Severance Compensation, additional Executive Severance Compensation shall
be provided as set forth below.


 


(i)  Equity
Awards. All Equity Awards shall be vested in full;


 


(ii)        Cash
Bonus. Executive shall be entitled to a fraction of any Cash Bonus for the fiscal year of the Company within which Executive’s
termination of employment occurs which, based upon the criteria established for such Cash Bonus, would have been payable to Executive
had she remained employed through the date of payment, the numerator of which is the number of days of such fiscal year prior to
her termination of employment and the denominator of which is three hundred and sixty-five (365);


 


(iii)       Insurance.
Company shall continue to provide health insurance (including dental if applicable) and any life insurance benefits for the shorter
of (i) the length of the severance measurement period set forth in above in this Section 5.5(b), or (ii) the maximum period the
Company is then permitted to extend each individual benefit under the applicable plan or policy or applicable law; and


 


(iv)       Golden
Parachute Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, as a result of a payment provided
for under or pursuant to this Agreement, together with all other payments in the nature of compensation provided to or for the
benefit of the Executive under any other plans or agreements in connection with a Change in Control, the Executive becomes subject
to excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code, then the amount of severance to be paid pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced
to the maximum amount allowable without causing Executive to become subject to such excise taxes. Such maximum amount shall be
determined by a registered public accounting firm selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company,
whose determination, absent manifest error, shall be treated as conclusive and binding.


 






    5


     


    

 


(c) For
purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:


 


(i)  There
occurs a merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization to which the Company is a party, whether or not
approved in advance by the Board of Directors of the Company, in which (A) the members of the Board of Directors of the Company
immediately preceding the consummation of such transaction do not constitute a majority of the members of the Board of Directors

(ii)        There
occurs a sale, exchange, transfer, or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company to another entity, whether
or not approved in advance by the Board of Directors of the Company (for purpose of this Agreement, a sale of more than one-half
of the branches of Customers Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, would constitute a Change in Control, but for purposes
of this section, no branches or assets will be deemed to have been sold if they are leased back contemporaneously with or promptly
after their sale);


 


(iii)       A
plan of liquidation or dissolution is adopted for the Company; or


 


(iv)       Any
individual, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity (“Person”) (except Company, any subsidiary of Company, any

Act”) of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding
securities. For purposes of this subsection, “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings
ascribed to such terms in Rule 12b-2 of the General Rules and Regulations issued under the Exchange Act.


 


(d)        In
the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Term as a result of her death or disability, she (or her

5.6       Release.
The Company’s obligation to pay Severance Compensation under Section 5.5 hereof is expressly conditioned upon Executive’s

complaints, grievances, known or unknown to Executive, against the Company, its affiliates or assigns, or any of their officers,
directors, employees and agents, through to the date of Executive’s termination from employment, and (b) a representation
and warranty that Executive has not filed or assigned any claims, charges, complaints, or grievances against the Company, its affiliates
or assigns, or any of their officers, directors, employees and agents.

10.1     Severance
Compensation Independent. Company’s obligation to pay Severance Compensation is conditioned on Executive’s compliance

of any breach by Executive of such sections.


 


10.2     Remedies
for Breach of Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9. Executive and Company agree that the covenants in Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 are reasonable
covenants under the circumstances. Executive agrees that any breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 of this

available at law or in equity, including without limitation, the following cumulative and not alternative rights:


 


(a) the
right to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach or otherwise to specifically enforce
the provisions of this Agreement, it being agreed that monetary damages alone would be inadequate to compensate the Company, the
amount of such damages will be difficult (if not impossible) to prove precisely, and would bean inadequate remedy for such breach;

7, 8 and 9.


 


10.4     Notice
to Others. Executive agrees to notify any future prospective employers and future employers, and any future joint venturers,
partners and contracting parties of Executive, whose activities may be deemed to compete with Company of the existence of each

10.5     Savings
Clause. In the event that any provision or provisions of any of the covenants in Section 6, 7, 8 and 9 would otherwise
be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable in whole or in part by reason of being for too great a
period of time or covering too great a geographical area or too broad a product market, or for any other reason, each such covenant
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and be construed so as to be enforceable as to that period of time and geographical
area and product market, and on such other conditions, as may be determined to be reasonable by the court.

amendments to this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by both parties.
