EX-10.2



 Exhibit 10.2 

AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement
(the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Randolph Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and Peter J. Fraser (the “Employee”). The effectiveness of this Agreement is contingent upon the closing (the “Closing”) of
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger among Randolph Bancorp, First Eastern Bankshares Corporation (the “Seller Company”), and Richard F. Kalagher, dated as of September 1, 2015 (the “Merger
Agreement”). This Agreement shall be effective upon the date of the Closing (the “Effective Date”). 
 1.
Purpose. The Employee has been employed in a senior capacity by First Federal Savings Bank of Boston (the “Seller Subsidiary”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller Company. The Board of Directors of the Bank (the
“Board”) believes that the Employee has the skills, knowledge and experience to be an important and effective contributor to the Bank’s success. The Board seeks to encourage the Employee’s employment with and commitment to the
Bank. The Board also seeks to protect the goodwill that the Employee has developed for the Seller Subsidiary and will continue to develop for the Bank through the Employee’s employment with the Bank. 

2. Certain Employment Terms. The Employee’s employment with the Bank shall commence on the Effective Date. The
following terms shall apply to the Employee’s compensation and employment responsibilities during the Employee’s employment with the Bank. 

(a) Position and Responsibilities. The Bank shall employ the Employee as a Senior Vice President. The Employee shall also have the
job title of President of First Eastern Mortgage Corp. The Employee shall have responsibilities commensurate with such positions.
 (b)
Salary. The Bank shall pay the Employee a base salary at an annual rate of at least $200,000. 
 (c) Bonus. The Employee shall
be eligible to receive an annual bonus based on the profitability formula attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the “Bonus”). The Bank shall pay such a bonus to the Employee by no later than April 30 of the year following the year for
which the profitability measurement is made. 
 (d) Car Allowance. The Bank shall pay the Employee an additional amount of $750
per month to assist in defraying the cost of an automobile. Such allowance shall be treated as Form W-2 income. 
 (e) Benefits.
The Bank shall provide benefits to the Employee in accordance with Sections 7.6(a) – (f) of the Merger Agreement, which Sections are incorporated herein by reference. 

3. At-Will Employment. The Bank’s employment of the Employee shall be on an at-will basis; provided that (i)
the Employee shall give at least 30 days’ notice of the Employee’s resignation from employment with the Bank; and (ii) the at-will nature of the Employee’s employment shall not limit the Employee’s rights under Section 4
(Severance Pay). If the Employee gives advance notice of the Employee’s resignation, the Bank may accelerate the 







 
termination of the Employee’s employment by paying the Employee’s salary at the Employee’s base salary rate for any period of acceleration. Such accelerated resignation shall not
affect the treatment of the Employee’s termination as a resignation. 
 4. Severance Pay. 

(a) Regular Severance. If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Bank for any reason other than for Cause,
Disability or death, or if the Employee resigns for Good Reason, and such termination occurs both: (x) prior to the five year anniversary of the Effective Date, and (y) either prior to a Change in Control (as defined below), or more than 24 months
after a Change in Control, then subject to the Employee signing a separation agreement to be proposed by the Bank, which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, amended as reasonably necessary based
on applicable law (the “Separation Agreement and Release”) and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable, all within 45 days after the date of termination, the Bank shall pay to the Employee a severance amount equal to two
times the sum of (i) the Employee’s annual base salary as of the date of termination and (ii) the Average Bonus. The Average Bonus shall mean the average of the Bank’s two most recent awards of a Bonus (as defined in this
Agreement) to the Employee. If the termination occurs after one Bonus award but not two, the Average Bonus shall mean such Bonus award. If the termination occurs before any Bonus award by the Bank, the Bank shall determine the Average Bonus in its
reasonable discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Bank makes a determination to award no Bonus to the Employee for a year, such determination shall be considered to result in a Bonus award of Zero Dollars and that shall be the amount used in
calculating the Average Bonus. The amount payable pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum within 45 days of the date of termination; provided, however, that if the 45-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second
calendar year, such amount shall be paid in the second calendar year no later than the last day of such 45-day period. 
 (b)
Change in Control Severance. If the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Bank for any reason other than for Cause, Disability or death, or if the Employee resigns for Good Reason, within 24 months after a Change in Control, then
the Bank shall pay to the Employee an amount equal to two times the sum of (i) the Employee’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of termination (or the Employee’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to
the Change in Control, if higher) and (ii) the Employee’s average annual Bonus over the three fiscal years immediately prior to the Change in Control, payable in one lump-sum payment on the termination date. For purposes of the foregoing, a
“Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of any one of the following events: (i) any “Person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Act”) (other than the Randolph Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), any of its subsidiaries, or any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan or trust of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries), together with all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Act) of such person, shall become the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the 

  
 2 








 
Company representing 40 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of the Company’s Board of
Directors (“Voting Securities”) (in such case other than as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company or in connection with a public offering); or (ii) persons who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a majority of the
Company’s Board of Directors, provided that any person becoming a director of the Company subsequent to the date hereof shall be considered an Incumbent Director if such person’s election was approved by or such person was nominated for
election by either (A) a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors or (B) a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors who are members of a nominating committee comprised, in the majority, of Incumbent Directors; but
provided further, that any such person whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of members of the Company’s Board of Directors or other actual or threatened
solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Company’s Board of Directors, including by reason of agreement intended to avoid or settle any such actual or threatened contest or solicitation, shall not be
considered an Incumbent Director; or (iii) the consummation of (A) any consolidation or merger of the Company where the stockholders of the Company, immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or
merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate more than 50 percent of the voting shares of the Company issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or
merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if any), or (B) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company or of the Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (a) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by the Company
that, by reducing the number of shares of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares of Voting Securities beneficially owned by any person to 40 percent or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding
Voting Securities; provided, however, that if any person referred to in this sentence shall thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, or similar
transaction or as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company) and immediately thereafter beneficially owns 40 percent or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding Voting Securities, then a “Change in
Control” shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i). For the avoidance of doubt, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to have occurred as a result of (x) the conversion of Randolph Bancorp from a
mutual holding company to stock form, or in connection with any reorganization used to effect such a conversion; or (y) upon a public stock offering of the shares of the Company or of the stock holding company resulting from the conversion
described in the foregoing clause (x).

 5. Definitions. For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the meanings
set forth below: 
 (a) “Cause” shall mean a termination of the Employee’s employment which is a result of: (i) actions
and/or omissions by the Employee satisfying the elements of (A) a felony or (B) a misdemeanor involving dishonesty, the taking of property or moral turpitude; or (ii) willful disclosure of material trade secrets or other material confidential
information related to the business of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; or (iii) willful and continued failure substantially to perform the Employee’s duties with the Bank (other than any such failure resulting from the
Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Employee by the Board, which demand identifies the specific actions which the Board believes constitute willful and
continued failure substantially to perform the Employee’s duties, and which performance is not substantially corrected by the Employee within fourteen (14) days of receipt of such demand; (iv) willful and knowing participation in releasing
false or materially misleading financial statements; (v) dishonesty to the Board regarding any material matter; or (vi) failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities,
after being instructed by the Bank to cooperate, or the Employee’s willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce
documents or other materials in connection with such investigation. 
 (b) “Disability” shall mean that if, as a result of the
Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Employee shall have been absent from the Employee’s duties to the Bank on a full-time basis for 120 business days in the aggregate in any 12 month period or is reasonably
expected based upon medical information to be absent for such period. If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Employee has a Disability, the Employee may, and at the request of the Bank shall, submit to the Bank a
certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Bank to whom the Employee has no reasonable objection as to whether the Employee is incapacitated and how long any incapacity is expected to continue. Such certification shall, for
the purposes of this Agreement, be conclusive of the issue. The Employee shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and the Employee fails to submit such
certification, the Bank’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the Employee. 
 (c) “Good Reason” shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Good Reason Condition”) followed by the Good Reason Process, as defined below: (i) a material adverse change in the Employee’s position, title and/or responsibilities; or
(ii) a material reduction in the Employee’s (A) annual base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time hereafter, except for across-the-board reductions of annual base salary similarly
affecting all executive officers of the Bank or (B) bonus structure as set forth in Exhibit A; or (iii) the relocation of the Bank’s offices at which the Employee is principally employed (the “Current Offices”) to any other
location more than 25 miles of driving distance from the Current Offices, or the requirement by the Bank for the Employee to be based more than 25 miles of driving distance away from the Current Offices, except for required travel on the Bank’s
business to an extent substantially consistent with the Employee’s business travel 

  
 4 








 
obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a suspension of any or all of Employee’s duties or responsibilities by the Bank during an investigation that is initiated pursuant to a direction
by the Board shall not constitute the occurrence of a material adverse change for purposes of clause (i); provided that Employee’s base salary and fringe benefit entitlements continue during the period of such suspension. The “Good
Reason Process” shall mean that (i) the Employee reasonably determines in good faith that a Good Reason Condition has occurred; (ii) the Employee gives the Bank written notice of the first occurrence of the Good Reason Condition
within 30 days of the first occurrence of such condition; (C) the Employee cooperates in good faith with the Bank’s efforts for a period of not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”) to remedy the Good Reason
Condition; (D) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason Condition continues to exist; and (E) the Employee terminates employment by giving written notice no later than 30 days after the expiration of the Cure Period. If the Bank cures
the Good Reason Condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred. 
 6. Withholding.
All payments made by the Bank under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Bank under applicable law. 

7. No Mitigation. The Bank agrees that, if the Employee’s employment by the Bank is terminated prior to the five
year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Employee is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce the Severance Pay. Further, the Severance Pay shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Employee as the
result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Employee to the Bank or otherwise, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement. 

8. Confidential Information, Bank Property and Restrictive Covenants. 

(a) Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information belonging to the Bank
which is of value to the Bank in the course of conducting its business and the disclosure of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Bank. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, financial information,
reports, and forecasts; inventions, improvements and other intellectual property; trade secrets; know-how; software; market or sales information or plans; customer lists; and business plans, prospects and
opportunities (such as possible acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or facilities) which have been discussed or considered by the management of the Bank. Confidential Information includes information developed by the Employee in the course of
the Employee’s employment by the Seller Subsidiary or the Bank, as well as other information to which the Employee may have access in connection with the Employee’s employment. Confidential Information also includes the confidential
information of others with which the Bank has a business relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information in the public domain, unless due to breach of the Employee’s duties under Section 8(b).

 (b) Confidentiality. The Employee understands and agrees that the Employee’s employment creates a relationship of confidence
and trust between the Employee and the Bank with respect to all Confidential Information. At all times, both during the Employee’s employment with the Bank and after its termination, the Employee will keep in


  
 5 








 
confidence and trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of the Bank, except as may be necessary in the
ordinary course of performing the Employee’s duties to the Bank or as otherwise may be required by law. 
 (c) Documents, Records,
etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are furnished to the Employee by the Bank or any affiliate or are produced by the Employee in
connection with the Employee’s employment will be and remain the sole property of the Bank. The Employee will return to the Bank all such materials and property as and when requested by the Bank. In any event, the Employee will return all such
materials and property promptly following termination of the Employee’s employment for any reason other than death. The Employee will not retain with the Employee any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination. 

(d) Restrictive Covenants. During the Employee’s employment with the Bank and for a period of twelve (12) months following the
termination of the Employee’s employment for any reason, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly: 
 (i) engage,
participate, assist or invest in any Competing Business (as hereinafter defined), regardless of whether as an owner, partner, shareholder, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise; 

(ii) employ, attempt to employ, recruit or otherwise solicit, induce or influence any person (A) who is then employed by the
Bank or any affiliate to leave employment with the Bank or any affiliate (other than terminations of employment of subordinate employees undertaken in the course of the Employee’s employment with the Bank) or (B) who was employed by the Bank or
any affiliate within three (3) months before the Employee’s employment, recruitment or other solicitation or inducement to become employed by any other employer; or 

(iii) (A) solicit or encourage any Customer to terminate or otherwise modify adversely his, her or its business
relationship with the Bank or any affiliate or to obtain from any provider other than the Bank (an “Other Provider”) any products that could be provided or services that could be performed by the Bank, or (B) accept business from any
Customer on behalf of an Other Provider. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Customer” means a customer or client of the Bank with whom or which the Employee had business-related communications during the Employee’s employment with the
Bank or about whom or which the Employee learned any non-published information during the Employee’s employment. 
 The Employee understands that the
restrictions set forth in this Section 6(d) are intended to protect the Bank’s interest in its Confidential Information and established employee, customer and supplier relationships and goodwill, and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable
and appropriate for this purpose. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competing Business” shall mean any bank or other financial services business that has a branch office or other place of business (other than solely an ATM) in any
county in which the Bank has a branch office or 

  
 6 








 
other place of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employee may own up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly held corporation which constitutes or is affiliated with
a Competing Business. 
 (e) Injunction. The Employee agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Bank
which might result from any breach by the Employee of the promises set forth in this Section 8, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, subject to Section 9 of this Agreement, the Employee
agrees that if the Employee breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of this Section 8, the Bank shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such
breach. 
 9. Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach
thereof or otherwise relating to the Employee’s employment with the Bank or its termination, including without limitation statutory claims (including without limitation statutory discrimination or wage claims) and common law contract and tort
claims shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration shall be conducted in the City of
Boston. In the event that any person or entity other than the Employee or the Bank may be a party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entity’s
agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole
purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.

 10. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party.
The failure of either party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a
waiver of any subsequent breach. 
 11. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this
Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Employee at the last address the Employee has filed in writing with the Bank, or to the Bank at its main office,
attention of the Board. 
 12. Effect on Other Plans. The Employee hereby waives any rights to any severance benefits under
any current or future Bank severance pay plan or program with respect to any termination of employment that renders the Employee eligible for Severance Pay pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall limit the
Employee’s right to elect to receive CIC Severance Benefits in lieu of Severance Pay under any CIC Agreement. Subject to such waiver, nothing else in this Agreement shall otherwise limit the rights of the Employee under the Bank’s benefit
plans, programs or policies An election by the Employee to resign for Good Reason under the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for the purpose of interpreting the provisions of any
of the Bank’s benefit plans, programs or policies. 

  
 7 








 13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes in all respects all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter. 

14. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Employee and by a duly
authorized representative of the Bank. 
 15. Governing Law. This contract shall be construed under and be governed in all
respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to such state’s conflicts of laws principles. 
 16.
Obligations of Successors. The Bank shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Bank to expressly assume and
agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

17. Additional Limitation. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any compensation,
payment or distribution by the Bank to or for the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the “Severance Payments”), would be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the benefits payable under this Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that the maximum Severance
Payments shall not exceed the Threshold Amount, as defined below. To the extent that there is more than one method of reducing the payments to bring them within the Threshold Amount, the Employee shall determine which method shall be followed;
provided that if the Employee fails to make such determination within 15 business days after the Bank has sent the Employee written notice of the need for such reduction, the Bank may determine the amount of such reduction in its sole discretion.

 The “Threshold Amount” shall mean three times the Employee’s “base amount” within the meaning of Section
280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder less one dollar ($1.00); and “Excise Tax” shall mean the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and any interest or penalties incurred by the Employee with respect
to such excise tax. 
 18. Section 409A. 

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Employee’s “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Bank determines that the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the Employee becomes
entitled to under this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment
shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after 

  
 8 








 
the Employee’s separation from service, or (B) the Employee’s death; provided, however, that in the case of benefits, the Employee may elect to pay for the costs of such benefits during
such delay period in exchange for reimbursement of such costs after the end of the delay period. Any such delayed cash payment shall earn interest at an annual rate equal to the applicable federal short-term rate published by the Internal Revenue
Service for the month in which the date of separation from service occurs, from such date of separation from service until the payment. 

(b) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision
of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be
amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost
to either party. 
 (c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred
compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Employee’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Employee’s
“separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). 

(d) The Bank makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Employee or any other person if any provisions of this
Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

 EXHIBIT B 

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE 
 I enter
into this Separation Agreement and Release (the “Release”) pursuant to Section 4 of the Agreement between Randolph Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and me (the “Agreement”), which Agreement was effective as of the closing
of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger between Randolph Bancorp and First Eastern Bankshares Corporation (the “Seller Company”), dated as of September 1, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”). I acknowledge
my timely execution and return and my non-revocation of this Release are conditions to the payment of the Severance Pay in Section 4 of the Agreement. I therefore agree to the following terms: 

1. Release of Claims. I voluntarily release and forever discharge the Bank, its affiliated and related entities, its predecessors,
successors and assigns, its employee benefit plans and fiduciaries of such plans, and the current and former officers, directors, shareholders, employees, attorneys, accountants and agents of any and all of the foregoing in their official and
personal capacities (collectively referred to as the “Releasees”) generally from all claims, demands, debts, damages and liabilities of every name and nature, known or unknown (“Claims”) that, as of the date when I sign this
Release, I have, ever had, now claim to have or ever claimed to have had against any or all of the Releasees. This includes, without limitation, the release of all Claims: 
  

	 	•	 	relating to my employment by the Bank and the termination of my employment; 

  

	 	•	 	of wrongful discharge; 

  

	 	•	 	of breach of contract; 

  

	 	•	 	of retaliation or discrimination under federal, state or local law (including, without limitation, Claims of age discrimination or retaliation under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Claims of disability
discrimination or retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Claims of discrimination or retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Claims of any form of discrimination or retaliation that is prohibited by the
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 151B); 

  

	 	•	 	under any other federal or state statute; 

  

	 	•	 	of defamation or other torts; 

  

	 	•	 	of violation of public policy; 

  

	 	•	 	for wages, bonuses, incentive compensation, vacation pay or any other compensation or benefits, either under the Massachusetts Wage Act, M.G.L. c. 149, §§ 148-150C, or otherwise; and


  

	 	•	 	for damages or other remedies of any sort, including, without limitation, compensatory damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorney’s fees; 


provided, however, that this release shall not affect my rights under the Bank’s Section 401(k) plan, any other “employee benefit plan”
as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1002(3), my continuing rights under the Agreement (including the right to payment of any bonus for which an award has been determined but has not been paid
during the term of employment), any statutory right to earned but unpaid wages, including vacation pay, statutory or common law rights of indemnification or defense for claims against 

  
 2 








 
me based on my status and conduct as an officer of the Bank under any applicable insurance policy, contracts, governing documents or bylaws. In addition, nothing in this release shall affect
my rights arising from any relationship that I may have with the Bank or any affiliated or related entity as a customer or a client. Furthermore, nothing in this release shall affect my rights to pursue Claims against individuals based on
actions taken in their personal capacities that are unrelated in any way to my employment with the Bank or its termination.
 I agree that I shall not seek
or accept damages of any nature, other equitable or legal remedies for my own benefit, attorney’s fees, or costs from any of the Releasees with respect to any Claim released by this Release. I represent that I have not assigned to any third
party and I have not filed with any agency or court any Claim released by this Release. 
 2. Ongoing Obligations. I reaffirm my
ongoing obligations under the Employment Agreement, including without limitation my obligations under Section 8 (“Confidential Information, Bank Property and Restrictive Covenants”). 

3. Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. I further agree that for a period of two years from the date of the termination of my
employment with the Bank (the “Cooperation Period”), I shall cooperate fully with the Bank in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Bank which
relate to events or occurrences that transpired while I was employed by the Bank. My full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or
trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Bank at mutually convenient times. During the Cooperation Period, I shall also cooperate fully with the Bank in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory
authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while I was employed by the Bank. Any cooperation pursuant to this paragraph is subject to the Bank’s commitment to reimburse me for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with my performance of obligations pursuant to this paragraph, based on the procedures for reimbursement applicable to employee business expense reimbursement under the
Bank’s policies. In addition, if the Bank does not offer to provide me with legal services through the Bank’s counsel in connection with such cooperation, either due to such counsel’s determination that joint representation cannot be
provided or for any other reason, I may condition my cooperation on the Bank’s agreement to reimburse me for any reasonable attorney’s fees that I incur in the providing any cooperation services pursuant to this paragraph. 

4. No Assignment. I represent that I have not assigned to any other person or entity any Claims against any Releasee.
