one hundred twenty (120) equal monthly installments commencing on the first day of the month following Separation from Service. 


 

	 	3.2.2	Vesting Schedule. The Participant vests in the Grants and related interest at a rate of twenty percent (20%) for each Plan Year completed after the Grant,
such that after five (5) Plan Years from a particular Grant the Participant is one hundred percent (100%) vested in that Grant and related interest. For vesting purposes, the Participant shall be required to be employed by the Bank until

payment. 

  

	3.5	 Restriction on Commencement of Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if the Participant is a
Specified Employee, the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall govern all distributions hereunder. If benefit distributions which would otherwise be made to the Participant due to Separation from Service are limited because the Participant is a

 Performance Driven Plan 
  

 
  


	 	
made during the first six (6) months following Separation from Service. Rather, any distribution which would otherwise be paid to the Participant during such period shall be accumulated and

	3.6	Distributions Upon Taxation of Amounts Deferred. If, pursuant to Code Section 409A, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act or other state, local or foreign
tax, the Participant becomes subject to tax on the amounts deferred hereunder, then the Bank may make a limited distribution to the Participant in a manner that conforms to the requirements of Code Section 409A. Any such distribution will

	4.2	Death During Distribution of a Benefit. If the Participant dies after any benefit distributions have commenced under this Agreement but before receiving all such
distributions, the Bank shall distribute to the Beneficiary the remaining benefits at the same time and in the same amounts they would have been distributed to the Participant had the Participant survived. 


Article 5 

Beneficiaries 
  

	5.1	In General. The Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate a Beneficiary to receive any benefit distributions under this Agreement upon the
death of the Participant. The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different from the beneficiary designated under any other plan of the Bank in which the Participant participates. 


 

	5.2	Designation. The Participant shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form and delivering it to the Plan Administrator
or its designated agent. If the Participant names someone other than the Participant’s spouse as a Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine that spousal consent is required to be provided in a form designated
by the Plan Administrator, executed by the Participant’s spouse and returned to the Plan Administrator. The Participant’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Participant or if
the Participant names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Participant shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form
and the Plan Administrator’s rules and procedures. Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled
to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Participant and accepted by the Plan Administrator prior to the Participant’s death. 

  

	5.3	Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Plan
Administrator or its designated agent. 

  

	5.4	No Beneficiary Designation. If the Participant dies without a valid Beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, then
the Participant’s spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Participant has no surviving spouse, any benefit shall be paid to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate. 


 

	5.5	 Facility of Distribution. If the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion that a benefit is to be distributed to a minor, to a person
declared incompetent or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Plan Administrator may direct distribution of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person











 United Labor Bank, F.S.B. 
 Performance Driven Plan 
  

 
  


	 	
having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Plan Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate
prior to distribution of the benefit. Any distribution of a benefit shall be a distribution for the account of the Participant and the Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall completely discharge any liability under this Agreement for such
distribution amount. 

 Article 6 
 General Limitations 
  

	6.1	Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not distribute any benefit under this Agreement if the

other reason.
