“Executive”).



WITNESSETH




     WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed as

     WHEREAS, the Employer desires to assure itself of the continued availability of the
Executive’s services as provided in this Agreement; and



     WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to serve the Employer on the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.



     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and upon the other
terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the Employer and the Executive hereby agree as follows:

                               of the Employer.
Executive shall continue to render such administrative and management services to the Employer as
are currently rendered and as are customarily performed by persons situated in a similar executive
capacity. Executive’s other duties shall be such as the Board of Directors of the Employer (the
“Board of Directors” or “Board”) may from time to time reasonably direct. During the term of this
Agreement, Executive also agrees to continue to serve, if elected, as a Director of the Employer
and an officer and/or director of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Employer and to carry out the
duties and responsibilities reasonably appropriate to those offices.



2. Term of Agreement. The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be
deemed to have commenced as of the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of thirty-six
(36) full calendar months. The term of this Agreement shall be extended for one day each day so
that a constant thirty-six (36) calendar month term shall remain in effect, until such time as the
Board or Executive elects not to extend the term of the Agreement by giving written notice to the
other party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in which case the term of this
Agreement shall be fixed and shall end on the third anniversary of the date of such written notice.



3. Base Compensation. The Employer agrees to pay Executive during the term of this
Agreement a base salary at the rate of [$___] per annum, payable in accordance with the
customary payroll practices of the Employer; provided, however, that the rate of Executive’s base
salary shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors not less often than annually, and Executive
shall be entitled to receive annual increases at such percentage or in such an amount as the Board
of Directors, in its sole discretion, may decide.






 









 







4. Discretionary Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to participate in any bonus program
adopted by the Employer in an equitable manner. No other compensation provided for in this
Agreement shall be deemed a substitute for Executive’s right to receive bonuses when and as
declared by the Board of Directors or as provided for by any plan or program of the Employer.



5. Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to receive
prompt reimbursement of all reasonable expenses incurred (in accordance with the policies and
procedures of the Employer) in performing services under this Agreement, provided that Executive
properly accounts for expenses in accordance with the policies of the Employer and provided further
that all such reimbursements shall be paid promptly by the Employer and in any event no later than
March 15 of the year immediately following the year in which the expense was incurred.



6. Employee Benefits.




     (a) Participation in Retirement and Executive Benefit Plans. Executive shall
be entitled, while employed under the terms of this Agreement, to receive all benefits under any

as other employees of the Employer or as established by the Employer for Executive or other
selected employees.



     (b) Fringe Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to receive any benefits
under any fringe benefit plan or policy that is in effect as of the date of this Agreement or that
the Employer implements at any time during the term of this Agreement, on the same terms as the
Employer’s senior management employees. Nothing paid to Executive under any plan or arrangement
presently in effect or made available in the future will be deemed to be in lieu of base salary or
other compensation to Executive under this Agreement.



     (c) Automobile and Social Club. The Employer shall provide Executive with
either (i) the use of an automobile suitable to the Executive’s position, or (ii) a monthly cash
allowance to cover the expenses of such an automobile. The Employer shall annually include on
Executive’s Form W-2 any amount attributable to Executive’s personal use of such automobile. In
addition, the Employer shall reimburse or pay Executive amounts sufficient to establish or maintain
membership in any club or organization (business, social or otherwise) which will benefit the
Employer (including such fees or dues relating to the use of the club or organization).



     (d) Paid Leave Time. Executive shall be entitled to leave time in accordance
with the standard policies or practices of the Employer for senior executive officers, as in effect
from time to time.


7. Noncompetition and Confidentiality.

employment under this Agreement. Upon any termination of Executive’s employment hereunder pursuant
to Section 8(b) of this Agreement (other than a termination which occurs after the effective date
of a Change in Control), Executive agrees not to compete with the Employer or any subsidiary of the
Employer for a period of one (1) year following such termination in any city, town or county in
which Executive’s normal business office is located or in which the Employer or any subsidiary of
the Employer has an office or has filed an application for regulatory approval to establish an
office, determined as of the



2









 




effective date of such termination, except as agreed to pursuant to a resolution duly adopted
by the Board of Directors. Executive agrees that during such period and within said cities, towns
and counties, Executive shall not work for or advise, consult or otherwise serve with, directly or
indirectly, any entity whose business materially competes with the depository, lending or other
business activities of the Employer or any subsidiary of the Employer.




     (b) Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the knowledge of the business activities and
plans for business activities of the Employer is a valuable, special and unique asset of the
business of the Employer. Executive will not, during or after the term of his employment, disclose
any knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities of the Employer to
any person, firm, corporation, or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may disclose any knowledge of banking, financial and/or
economic principles, concepts or ideas which are not solely and exclusively derived from the
business plans and activities of the Employer.



     (c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent or limit the right of
Executive to invest in any entity which conducts business similar to that of the Employer, solely
as a passive or minority investor.

terminated by the Executive for “Good Reason” (as defined in Section 8(b)(iii), Executive shall be
entitled to:




(i) his base salary and annual cash bonus for the remaining term of the Agreement,
including any renewals or extensions thereof, at the current rate in effect, and a
cash equivalent amount equal to the additional retirement benefits under any
retirement program (whether tax-qualified or non-qualified) that Executive would
have been entitled to had his employment continued through the remaining term of the
Agreement (with the amount of the cash bonus and retirement benefits determined by
reference to the cash bonus and benefits received by the Executive or accrued on his
behalf under such programs during the calendar year preceding the year of his
termination).




(ii) coverage under the Employer’s life insurance plans and non-taxable medical,
health, vision, and dental plans (each being a “Welfare Plan”) in the same manner in
which Executive received coverage on the last day of his employment with the
Employer. Executive and his covered dependents (if any) shall continue participating
in such Welfare Plans, subject to the same premium contributions (if any) on the
part of Executive as were required immediately prior to his termination until the
earlier of (i) his death; (ii) his employment by another employer other than one of
which he is the majority owner; or (iii) three (3) years from his termination date.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, termination of Executive’s employment
hereunder for “Good Reason” shall be limited to Executive’s voluntary termination of
employment after the occurrence of any of the following events which have not been
consented to in advance by Executive in writing; provided that Executive has given
written notice to the Employer within ninety (90) days after the initial occurrence
of such event and that the Employer has been given at least thirty (30) days to cure
the situation (but the Employer may waive its right to cure):




	 	(a)	 	if Executive would be required to move his
personal residence or perform his principal executive functions more
than twenty-five (25) miles from Executive’s primary office as of the
Effective Date;
	 
	 	(b)	 	if, in the organizational structure of the
Employer, Executive would be required to report to a person or persons
other than the Board of Directors;
	 
	 	(c)	 	a material diminution in Executive’s base
salary;
	 
	 	(d)	 	if Executive would be assigned duties and
responsibilities other than those normally associated with his position
as referenced in Section 1 of this Agreement; or
	 
	 	(e)	 	if Executive is not re-elected to the Board of
Directors other than for reasons of Just Cause.






(iv) The sum due under Section 9(b)(i) shall be paid in one lump sum within ten (10)
calendar days after such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
Executive is a Specified Employee (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
§1.409A-1(i)), then, to the extent necessary to avoid penalties under Code Section
409A, payment shall be withheld and shall be paid to Executive on the first day of
the seventh month following Executive’s termination of employment.




(v) For purposes of Section 8(b), termination of employment as used herein shall

covering employees of the Employer; or (C) Executive is determined to be totally

(ii) The Employer shall pay Executive, as disability pay, a monthly payment equal to
three-quarters (3/4) of Executive’s monthly rate of base salary. These disability
payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date of Executive’s
termination due to Disability and will end on the earlier of (A) the date Executive
returns to the full-time employment of the Employer in the same capacity as he was
employed prior to his termination for Disability; (B) the date the Executive begins
full-time employment with another employer; (C) three years from the date of the
Executive’s termination due to Disability; or (D) the date of Executive’s death.

any payments required to be made under this Section 9(c) shall be reduced by any
proceeds received by Executive from disability income insurance or any other
disability policy or plan maintained by the Employer for Executive which was paid
for by the Employer as partial satisfaction of its obligation under this Section
8(c).

otherwise payable to Executive during any period during which Executive is incapable

shall be defined as termination due to Executive’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful
misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform
stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or
similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order, or material breach of any provision of this

membership of the Board of Directors at a meeting of such Board called and held for the purpose of
finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive committed the conduct described
above and specifying the particulars thereof.

Reason. The voluntary termination of employment by Executive during the term of this
Agreement, other than for Good Reason, with the delivery of no less than sixty (60) days written
notice to the Board of Directors, entitles Executive to receive only the base salary, vested
rights, and all employee benefits up to Executive’s termination date.



     (f) Termination and Board Membership. To the extent Executive is a member
of the Board of Directors of the Employer or the Bank or any of their affiliates on the date of an
involuntary termination of employment with the Employer or the Bank or a termination of employment
for Good Reason, Executive shall be deemed to have automatically resigned from all of the Boards of
Directors immediately following such termination of employment with the Employer or the Bank.



     (g) Termination and Release of Claims. Any payments to be made under this
Agreement shall be contingent on Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a mutual release in a
form acceptable to the Employer. The mutual release agreement shall release the Employer from any
and all claims and other actions by Executive and it shall also release the Executive from any and
all claims and other actions by the Employer.

consecutive years, individuals who constitute the Company’s or Bank’s Board of
Directors at the beginning of the two-year period cease for any reason to
constitute at least a majority of the Company’s or Bank’s Board of Directors;
provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (iii), each director who is
first elected by the Board (or first nominated by the Board for election by the
members) by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors who were
directors at the beginning of the two-year period shall be deemed to have also
been a director at the beginning of such period; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Sale of Assets: The Company or Bank sells to a third
party all or substantially all of its assets.

Plan”) in the same manner in which Executive received coverage on the last day
of his employment with the Employer. Executive and his covered dependents (if
any) shall continue participating in such Welfare Plans, subject to the same
premium contributions (if any) on the part of Executive as were required
immediately prior to his termination until the earlier of (i) his death; (ii)
his employment by another employer other than one of which he is the majority
owner; or (iii) three (3) years from his termination date.

incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which he may

18. Required Regulatory Provisions.




     (a) The Employer may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, but any termination by the
Employer, other than Termination for Just Cause, shall not prejudice Executive’s right to
compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. Executive shall not have the right to receive
compensation or other benefits for any period after Termination for Just Cause as defined in
Section 8(d) hereinabove.
