 ARTICLE III 
 Supplemental Retirement Benefit 
 3.1 Determination of Supplemental Retirement Benefit.

 3.1(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, upon Participant’s retirement or termination of employment with Bank on
or after his Normal Retirement Date, Participant shall receive a yearly benefit equal to the vested percentage of an amount equal to sixty five percent (65%) of the Participant’s final five (5) years average Compensation, reduced by
the Employer’s share of Participant’s Primary Social Security Benefit. Said yearly benefit shall be paid in annual installments for the life of the Participant in accordance with Section 6.1. 
  

 55 








 3.1(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, upon Participant’s retirement or
termination of employment with Bank on or after his Early Retirement Date but prior to his Normal Retirement Date, Participant shall receive a yearly benefit equal to the vested percentage of an amount equal to 65% (reduced by 5% for each full or
partial year Participant’s age as of the Early Retirement Date is less than his age at the Normal Retirement Date) of Participant’s final five (5) years average compensation, reduced by Participant’s Primary Social Security
Benefit. Said yearly benefit shall be paid in annual installments for the life of the Participant in accordance with Section 6.1. If Participant receives benefits under this Section 3.1(b), Participant shall not be eligible for benefits
under Section 3.1(a). 
 3.2 Definitions. For purposes hereof the following terms shall have the following meaning: 

3.2(a) “Compensation” shall mean Participant’s total base salary, wages and bonus received by or made available to him by the Bank for a
Fiscal Year. Compensation shall be determined for Participant prior to any withholding or deductions and prior to any reduction for employee elective contributions to a Cafeteria Plan described in Section 125 of the Code or a qualified cash or
deferred arrangement described in Section 401(k) of the Code. However, Compensation shall exclude items of compensation as expense reimbursements and allowances, amounts contributed to or on behalf of Participant pursuant to this Plan or
any other employee benefit plan or program of the Bank or Corporation in which Participant is eligible to participate, or any other similar extraordinary remuneration. 
 3.2(b) “Primary Social Security Benefit” means the annual income to which Participant. is entitled at normal retirement under the provisions of the Federal Social Security Act as in effect on the first day

any other reason, such Social Security benefits shall nevertheless be considered, for purposes of the Plan, as being received by Participant. It is the intent of this definition that Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be offset
by the actual social security benefits payable at that time. If Participant begins to receive the social security benefits earlier, such paid benefits will be used as an offset, and the offset will reflect the fact that the actual payments to the
Participant are less (because of the early payment) than the social security benefits used to determine the offset

benefits which would have been payable under this Plan in an annual amount equal to the excess of: 
 (i) 65% of the Participant’s
final five year average Compensation as if Participant’s date of death were his Normal Retirement Date and Participant retired on his Normal Retirement Date, over 
 (ii) One-half of the Primary Social Security Benefit.

 ARTICLE IX 
 Amendment and Termination of
Plan 
 9.1 Amendment or Termination of the Plan. 
 9.1(a) The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Board. Upon termination of the Plan and subject to the forfeiture events described in paragraph 5.2, the Supplemental Retirement Benefit or, if applicable, the
Supplemental Death Benefit of each Participant shall become vested and non-forfeitable. The Bank may accelerate the time and term of payments under the Plan where the acceleration of the payment is made pursuant to a termination or liquidation of
the Plan in accordance with one of the following: 
 (i) The service recipient’s termination and liquidation of the plan within 12 months
of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts deferred under the plan are included in the participants’ gross incomes
in the latest of the following years (or, if earlier, the taxable year in which the amount is actually or constructively received). 
  

 62 








 (a) The calendar year in which the plan termination and liquidation occurs. 

(b) The first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. 
 (c) The first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable. 
 (ii) The service recipient’s termination and liquidation of the plan pursuant to irrevocable action taken by the service recipient within the
30 days preceding or the 12 months following a Change in Control Event (as defined in paragraph 1.7), provided that this paragraph will only apply to a payment under a plan if all agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements sponsored by
the service recipient immediately after the time of the change in control event with respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been deferred under a single plan under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(c)(2) are terminated and
liquidated with respect to each participant that experienced the Change in Control Event, so that under the terms of the termination and liquidation all such participants are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the
terminated agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements within 12 months of the date the service recipient irrevocably takes all necessary action to terminate and liquidate the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements. Solely
for purposes of this paragraph, where the Change in Control Event results from an asset purchase transaction, the applicable service recipient with the discretion to liquidate and terminate the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements
is the service recipient that is primarily liable immediately after the transaction for the payment of the deferred compensation. 
 (iii) The service recipient’s termination and liquidation of the plan, provided that— 
 (a) The termination and
liquidation does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the service recipient; 
 (b) The service recipient terminates
and liquidates all agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements sponsored by the service recipient that would be aggregated with any terminated and liquidated agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements under Treasury Regulation
§1.409A-1(c) if the same service provider had deferrals of compensation under all of the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements that are terminated and liquidated; 
 (c) No payments in liquidation of the plan are made within 12 months of the date the service recipient takes all necessary action to irrevocably
terminate and liquidate the plan other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the plan if the action to terminate and liquidate the plan had not occurred; 
 (d) All payments are made within 24 months of the date the service recipient takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the plan; and 
 (e) The service recipient does not adopt a new plan that would be aggregated with any terminated and liquidated plan under Treasury Regulation
§1.409A-1(c) if the same service provider participated in both plans, at any time within three years following the date the service recipient takes all necessary action to irrevocably terminate and liquidate the plan. 
 (iv) Such other events and conditions as the Commissioner at the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe in generally applicable guidance published in the
Internal Revenue Bulletin. 
 9.1(b) The Plan may be amended in whole or in part from time to time by the Board effective as of any date
specified so long as such amendment is permitted by Code Section 409A and the regulations issued thereunder. No amendment shall operate to decrease Participant’s vested Supplemental Retirement Benefit or, if applicable, Supplemental Death
Benefit determined as though Participant had terminated employment as of the earlier of the date on which the amendment is approved by the Board or the date on which an instrument of amendment is signed on behalf of the Bank. 
 9.1(c) The Bank hereby delegates to the Administrator the right to modify, alter, or amend the Plan in whole or in part to make any technical
modification, alteration or amendment which in the opinion of counsel for the Bank is required by law and is deemed advisable by the Administrator and to make any other modification, alteration or amendment which does not, in the
Administrator’s view, substantially increase costs, contributions or benefits and does not materially affect the eligibility, vesting or benefit accrual or allocation provisions of the Plan.
