 Article I 

Introduction 
 Section 1.01
Purpose, Design and Intent.

Supplemental ESOP Benefit equal to the excess of (a) over (b), where: 
 (a) Equals the annual contributions made by the Employer and/or
the number of shares of Common Stock released for allocation in connection with the repayment of an ESOP Acquisition Loan that would otherwise be allocated to the accounts of the Participant under the ESOP for the applicable plan year, if the

stock released for allocation in connection with the repayment of an ESOP Acquisition Loan that are actually allocated to the accounts of the Participant under the provisions of the ESOP for that particular plan year, after giving effect to any
reduction of such allocation required by any of the Applicable Limitations. 
 Section 4.02 Supplemental Stock Ownership Benefit. 

(a) Upon a Change in Control, the Employer shall credit to the Participant’s Supplemental Stock Ownership Account a Supplemental Stock
Ownership Benefit equal to (i) less (ii), the result of which is multiplied by (iii), where: 
  

	 	(i)	Equals the total number of shares of Common Stock acquired with the proceeds of all ESOP Acquisition Loans (together with any dividends, cash proceeds, or other medium related to such ESOP Acquisition Loans) that would
have been allocated or credited for the benefit of the Participant under the ESOP and/or this Plan, as the case may be, had the Participant continued in the employ of the Employer from his date of participation in this Plan through the first ESOP
Valuation Date following the last scheduled payment of principal and interest on all ESOP Acquisition Loans outstanding at the time of the Change in Control; and 

  


	 	(ii)	Equals the total number of shares of Common Stock acquired with the proceeds of all ESOP Acquisition Loans (together with any dividends, cash proceeds, or other medium related to such ESOP Acquisition Loans) and

Dates preceding the Change in Control (or lesser number if the Participant has not participated in the ESOP for three full years); 

  

	 	(ii)	equals the average number of shares of Common Stock credited to the Participant’s Supplemental ESOP Account for the three most recent plan years of the ESOP (such that the three most recent plan years coincide with

(a) is the sum of the matching contributions and other contributions of the Employer that would otherwise be allocated to an account of the
Participant under the Savings Plan for a particular year, if the provisions of the Savings Plan were administered without regard to eligibility or any of the Applicable Limitations (assuming the Participant would have contributed the maximum amount
allowed to the Savings Plan if he is not yet eligible for the Savings Plan); and 
 (b) is the sum of the matching contributions and other
contributions of the Employer that are actually allocated on account of the Participant under the provisions of the Savings Plan for that particular year, after giving effect to any reduction of such allocation required by any of the Applicable
Limitations. 
 Article V 

Accounts 
 Section 5.01
Supplemental ESOP Benefit Account. 
 For each Participant who is credited with a benefit pursuant to Section 4.01 of the
Plan, the Employer shall establish, as a memorandum account on its books, a Supplemental ESOP Account. Each year, the Committee shall credit to the Participant’s Supplemental ESOP Account the amount of benefits determined under
Section 4.01 of the Plan for that year. The Committee shall credit the account with an amount equal to the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock or other medium of contribution that would have otherwise been made to the
Participant’s accounts under the ESOP but for the limitations imposed by the Code. Shares of Common Stock shall be valued under this Plan in the same manner as under the ESOP. Cash contributions credited to a Participant’s Supplemental
ESOP Account shall be credited annually with interest at a rate equal to the combined weighted return provided to the Participant’s non-stock accounts under the ESOP.

Committee shall credit to the Participant’s Supplemental Stock Ownership Account the amount of benefits determined under Section 4.02 of the Plan. The Committee shall credit the account with an amount equal to the appropriate number of
shares of Common Stock or other medium of contribution that would have otherwise been made to the Participant’s accounts under the ESOP. Shares of Common Stock shall be valued under this Plan in the same manner as under the ESOP. Cash
contributions credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Stock Ownership Account shall be credited annually with interest at a rate equal to the combined weighted return provided to the Participant’s non-stock accounts under the ESOP.

year the Committee will credit the amount of contributions determined under Section 4.03 of the Plan. Contributions credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Savings Account shall be credited monthly with interest at a rate equal to the

terms of this Section 7.02. 
 (b) Not later than ninety (90) days after receipt of such a claim, the Claims Reviewer will render a
written decision on the claim to the claimant, unless special circumstances require the extension of such 90-day period. If such extension is necessary, the Claims Reviewer shall provide the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary or
beneficiaries with written notification of such extension before the expiration of the initial 90-day period. Such notice shall specify the reason or reasons for the extension and the date by which a final decision can be expected. In no event shall

Claims Reviewer’s disposition of the claimant’s claim, the claimant may have a full and fair review of the claim by the Committee upon written request submitted by the claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative and
received by the Committee within sixty (60) days after the claimant receives written notification that the claimant’s claim has been denied. In connection with such review, the claimant or the claimant’s duly authorized representative
shall be entitled to review pertinent documents and submit the claimant’s views as to the issues, in writing. The Committee shall act to deny or accept the claim within sixty (60) days after receipt of the claimant’s written request

contents shall include all of the requirements for action on the original claim.

benefits the claimant believes are due the claimant until the claimant has exhausted all of the remedies and procedures afforded the claimant by this Article VII.

beneficiary. The Committee shall be authorized to make minor or administrative changes to the Plan, as well as amendments required by applicable federal or state law (or authorized or made desirable by such statutes); provided, however, that such
amendments must subsequently be ratified by the Board of Directors.

Bank that would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 1.409A-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations are terminated.

 Article IX 

General Provisions 
 Section 9.01
Unfunded, Unsecured Promise to Make Payments in the Future. 
 The right of a Participant or any beneficiary to receive a
distribution under this Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Bank or its Affiliates, and neither a Participant, nor his designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, shall have any rights in or against any amount credited to
any account under this Plan or any other assets of the Bank or an Affiliate. The Plan at all times shall be considered entirely unfunded both for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. Any funds invested hereunder shall continue for all
purposes to be part of the general assets of the Bank or an Affiliate and available to its general creditors in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. Accounts under this Plan and any benefits which may be payable pursuant to this Plan are not
subject in any manner to anticipation, sale, alienation, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors of a Participant or a Participant’s beneficiary. The Plan constitutes a mere promise by the Bank or
Affiliate to make benefit payments in the future. No interest or right to receive a benefit may be taken, either voluntarily or involuntarily, for the satisfaction of the debts of, or other obligations or claims against, such Participant or
beneficiary, including claims for alimony, support, separate maintenance and claims in bankruptcy proceedings. 

  
 8 








 Section 9.02 Committee as Plan Administrator. 

(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Committee designated by the Board of Directors of the Bank. 

(b) The Committee shall have the authority, duty and power to interpret and construe the provisions of the Plan as it deems appropriate. The
Committee shall have the duty and responsibility of maintaining records, making the requisite calculations and disbursing the payments hereunder. In addition, the Committee shall have the authority and power to delegate any of its administrative
duties to employees of the Bank or an Affiliate, as they may deem appropriate. The Committee shall be entitled to rely on all tables, valuations, certificates, opinions, data and reports furnished by any actuary, accountant, controller, counsel or
other person employed or retained by the Bank with respect to the Plan. The interpretations, determinations, regulations and calculations of the Committee shall be final and binding on all persons and parties concerned. 

Section 9.03 Expenses. 

Expenses of administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Bank or an Affiliate. 

Section 9.04 Statements. 
 The
Committee shall furnish individual annual statements of accrued benefits to each Participant, or current beneficiary, in such form as determined by the Committee or as required by law. 

Section 9.05 Rights of Participants and Beneficiaries. 

(a) The sole rights of a Participant or beneficiary under this Plan shall be to have this Plan administered according to its provisions and to
receive whatever benefits he or she may be entitled to hereunder. 
 (b) Nothing in the Plan shall be interpreted as a guaranty that any
funds in any trust which may be established in connection with the Plan or assets of the Bank or an Affiliate will be sufficient to pay any benefit hereunder. 

(c) The adoption and maintenance of this Plan shall not be construed as creating any contract of employment or service between the Bank or an
Affiliate and any Participant or other individual. The Plan shall not affect the right of the Bank or an Affiliate to deal with any Participants in employment or service respects, including their hiring, discharge, compensation, and other conditions
of employment or service. 
 Section 9.06 Incompetent Individuals. 

The Committee may, from time to time, establish rules and procedures which it determines to be necessary for the proper administration of the
Plan and the benefits payable to a Participant or beneficiary in the event that such Participant or beneficiary is declared incompetent and a conservator or other person is appointed and legally charged with that Participant’s or
beneficiary’s care. Except as otherwise provided for herein, when the Committee determines that such Participant or beneficiary is unable to 

  
 9 








 
manage his financial affairs, the Committee may pay such Participant’s or beneficiary’s benefits to such conservator, person legally charged with such Participant’s or
beneficiary’s care, or institution then contributing toward or providing for the care and maintenance of such Participant or beneficiary. Any such payment shall constitute a complete discharge of any liability of the Bank or an Affiliate and
the Plan for such Participant or beneficiary. 
 Section 9.07 Sale, Merger or Consolidation of the Bank. 

Subject to Section 8.03, the Plan may be continued after a sale of assets of the Bank, or a merger or consolidation of the Bank into or
with another corporation or entity only if, and to the extent that, the transferee, purchaser or successor entity agrees to continue the Plan. Additionally, upon a merger, consolidation or other change in control any amounts credited to
Participant’s deferral accounts shall be placed in a grantor trust to the extent not already in such a trust. In the event that the Plan is not continued by the transferee, purchaser or successor entity, then the Plan shall be terminated
subject to the provisions of Section 8.03 of the Plan. Any legal fees incurred by a Participant in determining benefits to which such Participant is entitled under the Plan following a sale, merger, or consolidation of the Bank or an Affiliate
of which the Participant is an Employee or, if applicable, a member of the Board of Directors, shall be paid by the resulting or succeeding entity. 

Section 9.08 Location of Participants. 

Each Participant shall keep the Bank informed of his current address and the current address of his designated beneficiary or beneficiaries.
The Bank shall not be obligated to search for any person. If such person is not located within three (3) years after the date on which payment of the Participant’s benefits payable under this Plan may first be made, payment may be made as
though the Participant or his beneficiary had died at the end of such three-year period. 
 Section 9.09 Liability of the Bank and its
Affiliates. 
 Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, neither the Bank nor any individual acting as an employee or
agent of the Bank shall be liable to any Participant, former Participant, beneficiary, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan, unless attributable to fraud or willful misconduct on the part
of the Bank or any such employee or agent of the Bank. 
 Section 9.10 Governing Law. 

All questions pertaining to the construction, validity and effect of the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the United
States and, to the extent not preempted by such laws, by the laws of the State of New Jersey. 
 Section 9.11 Aggregation of Employers.

 To the extent required under Section 409A of the Code, if the Bank is a member of a controlled group of corporations or a group
of trades or business under common control (as described in Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code), all members of the group shall be treated as a single employer for purposes of whether there has occurred a Separation from Service and for any
other purposes under the Plan as Section 409A of the Code shall require. 

  
 10 








 Section 9.12 Specified Employees. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if when a Separation from Service occurs a Participant is a Specified
Employee, the Participant’s benefit shall be paid to the Participant in a single lump sum without interest on the first payroll date of the seventh month following the date on which the Separation from Service occurs. 

Section 9.13 Section 409A. 

It is intended that the Plan is intended to be a plan that is not qualified within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code, so as to
prevent the inclusion in gross income of any benefits accrued hereunder in a taxable year prior to the taxable year or years in which such amount would otherwise be actually distributed or made available to the Participants. The Plan shall be
administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with that intent. 
 Section 9.14 409A Application. 

References in this Plan to Section 409A of the Code include rules, regulations, and guidance of general application issued by the
Department of the Treasury under Section 409A of the Code. 

  
 11 








 Having been adopted by its Board of Directors, this Plan is executed by its duly authorized
officer on the 20th day of November, 2013.
