similar offenses), or final cease and desist order, or any material breach of any provision of this Agreement. Discharge for “cause” shall also include any termination pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors approved by a vote

Change in Control under this Paragraph IX, the term Bank shall include any corporation that is a majority shareholder of the Bank within the meaning of Section 409A (owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value and
total voting power of the Bank). 
 Upon a Change in Control (as defined above), the Director shall become fully vested in and be entitled to

 M. Interpretation. 
 It is intended that this Agreement shall conform with Section 409A. Accordingly, in interpreting, construing or applying any provisions of the Agreement, the same shall be construed in such manner as shall meet
and comply with Section 409A, and in the event of any inconsistency with Section 409A, the same shall be reformed so as to meet the requirements of Section 409A. The Director acknowledges that the Bank has not made any representation
or warranty regarding the treatment of this Agreement or the benefits payable under this Agreement under federal, state or local income tax laws, including Section 409A. 
 N. Certain Payments Delayed for a Specified Employee. 
 If the Director is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, then any payment(s) under this Agreement on account of a “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A shall
be made and/or shall begin on the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Director’s separation from service to the extent such payments are not exempt from Section 409A, and the six month delay in payment is required by
Section 409A. 
 O. Payments Upon Income Inclusion. 
 If at any time any amount or payment under the Agreement becomes taxable to the Director for failure to comply with Section 409A, a payment shall be made to the Director within 60 days of the determination by the
Internal Revenue Service that the amount or payment is includible in income. The payment under this Paragraph XI(O) shall be equal to the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with Section 409A as
determined by the Internal Revenue Service. 
 P. Separation from Service. 
 Any reference to “retirement,” “retirement from service,” “early retirement,” “termination of service,” or any
variations thereof requires that the Director has incurred a “separation from service” as interpreted in accordance with Section 409A. The Director will not be considered to have had a “separation from service” if he is on
military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such absence does not exceed six (6) months or, if longer, so long as the Director has a right to reemployment that is provided by statute or contract.

 As a participant in this Plan, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). ERISA provides that all Plan participants shall be entitled to: 
  

	 	A.	Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits. 

  

	 	1.	Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations (such as work sites and union halls) all documents governing the Plan, including
insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements (if any), and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) (if applicable) filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the
Pension and Welfare Benefit Administration. 

  

	 	2.	Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements,
and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) (if applicable) and an updated summary plan description (if applicable). The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies. 

  

	 	3.	Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report (if applicable). The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary
annual report. 

  

	 	4.	Obtain a statement telling you that you have a right to receive a retirement benefit at the normal retirement age under the Plan (age 65) and what your benefit could be at normal
retirement age if you stop working under the Plan now. If you do not have a right to a retirement benefit, the statement will advise you of the number of additional years you must work to receive a retirement benefit. You must request this statement
in writing. The law does not require the Plan Administrator to give this statement more than once a year. The Plan must provide the statement free of charge. 

  

	 	B.	Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries. 

 In addition
to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate this Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so
prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer, your union or any other person may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a
retirement benefit or from exercising your rights under ERISA. 
  

 9 









	 	C.	Enforce Your Rights. 

 If your claim for a
retirement benefit is denied in whole or in part, you have the right to know why this was done, to obtain documents relating to the decision without charge and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. 
 Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. 
 For instance, if you request materials from the Plan and do not receive the materials within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the
materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored, in whole or in
part, you may file suit in a state or Federal court. In addition, if you disagree with the Plan’s decision or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order or a medical support order, you may file suit in Federal
court. If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a Federal court. The
court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds
your claim is frivolous. 
  

	 	D.	Assistance with Your Questions. 

 If you have any
questions about your Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance in obtaining documents from the Plan Administrator, you should contact
the nearest office of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration.

 XIII. CLAIMS PROCEDURE 
 The following
Claims Procedure shall control the determination of benefit payments under the Plan. 
 A. Filing of a Claim for Benefits. 

Any insured, beneficiary or other individual (“Claimant”) entitled to benefits under the Plan will file a claim request with the
Administrator. The Administrator will, upon request of a Claimant, make available copies of all forms and instructions necessary to file a claim for benefits or advise the Claimant where such forms and instructions may be obtained. A Claimant’s
request for Plan benefits will be considered a claim for Plan benefits, and it will be subject to a full and fair review. 
  

 10 








 B. Denial of Claim. 
 If a Claimant’s claim is wholly or partially denied, the Administrator will furnish the Claimant with a written or electronic notification of the Plan’s adverse determination. This written or electronic
notification must be provided within a reasonable period of time, but not later than 90 days after the receipt of the claim by the Administrator, unless the Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing the claim. If the Administrator determines that an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period. In no event will
such extension exceed a period of 90 days from the end of such initial period. The extension notice will indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render the benefit determination.

 In the case of a claim for disability benefits, if disability is determined by a physician chosen by the Administrator (rather than
relying upon a determination of disability for Social Security purposes), then instead of the above, the Administrator will provide the Claimant with written or electronic notification of the Plan’s adverse benefit determination within a
reasonable period of time, but not later than 45 days after receipt of the claim by the Plan. This period may be extended by the Plan for up to 30 days, provided that the Administrator both determines that such an extension is necessary due to
matters beyond the control of the Plan and notifies the Claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period, of the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render a decision. If, prior to
the end of the first 30-day extension period the Administrator determines that, due to matters beyond the control of the Plan, a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for up
to an additional 30 days, provided that the Administrator notifies the Claimant, prior to the expiration of the first 30-day extension period, of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Plan expects to render a
decision. In the case of any such extension, the notice of extension will specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information
needed to resolve those issues, and the Claimant will be afforded at least 45 days within which to provide the specified information. 
 C.
Content of Notice. 
 The Administrator’s written or electronic notification of any adverse benefit determination must contain the
following information: 
  

	 	(1)	The specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination. 

  

	 	(2)	Reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the denial is based. 

  

 11 









	 	(3)	A description of any additional information or material necessary to correct the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary. 


 

	 	(4)	Appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant or beneficiary wishes to submit the claim for review. 

  

	 	(5)	In the case of disability benefits where the disability is determined by a physician chosen by the Administrator: 

  

	 	(i)	If an internal rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination, either the specific rule, guideline, protocol, or other
similar criterion; or a statement that such rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination and that a copy of the rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion will be provided free
of charge upon request. 

  

	 	(ii)	If the adverse benefit determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical
judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the Claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation will be provided to the Claimant free of charge upon request. 

 If the claim has been denied or deemed denied, and the Claimant wants to submit the claim for review, the Claimant must follow the Claims Review
Procedure below. 
 D. Claims Review Procedure. 
 Upon the denial of a claim for benefits, the Claimant may file a claim for review, in writing, with the Administrator. 
 (1) THE CLAIMANT MUST FILE THE CLAIM FOR REVIEW NO LATER THAN 60 DAYS AFTER THE CLAIMANT HAS RECEIVED WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF THE DENIAL OF THE CLAIM FOR BENEFITS. 
 HOWEVER, IF THE CLAIM IS FOR DISABILITY BENEFITS AND DISABILITY IS DETERMINED BY A PHYSICIAN CHOSEN BY THE ADMINISTRATOR, THEN INSTEAD OF THE ABOVE, THE
CLAIMANT MUST FILE THE CLAIM FOR REVIEW NO LATER THAN 180 DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT OF NOTIFICATION OF AN ADVERSE BENEFIT DETERMINATION. 
  

 12 








 (2) The Claimant may submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the
claim for benefits. 
 (3) The Claimant may review all pertinent documents relating to the denial of the claim and submit any issues and
comments, in writing, to the Administrator. 
 (4) The Claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and
copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits. 
 (5) The claim for review must be given a full
and fair review. This review will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial
benefit determination. 
 In addition to the Claims Review Procedure above, if the claim is for disability benefits and disability is
determined by a physician chosen by the Administrator, then the Claims Review Procedure provides that: 
 (1) The claim will be reviewed
without deference to the initial adverse benefit determination and the review will be conducted by an appropriate named fiduciary of the Plan who is neither the individual who made the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the appeal,
nor the subordinate of such individual. 
 (2) In deciding an appeal of any adverse benefit determination that is based in whole or in part on
medical judgment, the appropriate named fiduciary will consult with a health care professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment. 
 (3) Any medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Plan in connection with the adverse benefit determination will be
identified, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the benefit determination. 
 (4) The health care professional
engaged for purposes of a consultation in (2) above will be an individual who is neither an individual who was consulted in connection with the adverse benefit determination that is the subject of the appeal, nor the subordinate of any such
individual. 
 The Administrator will provide the Claimant with written or electronic notice of the Plan’s benefit determination on review. The
Administrator must provide the Claimant with notification of this denial within 60 days after the Administrator’s receipt of the written claim for review, unless the Administrator determines that special circumstances require an extension of
time for processing the claim. If the Administrator determines that an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension will be 

  

 13 








 
furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial 60-day period. In no event will such extension exceed a period of 60 days from the end of
the initial period. The extension notice will indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Plan expects to render the determination on review. However, if the claim relates to disability benefits and
disability is determined by a physician chosen by the Administrator, then 45 days will apply instead of 60 days in the preceding sentences. In the case of an adverse benefit determination, the notification will set forth: 
 (a) The specific reason or reasons for the adverse determination. 
 (b) Reference to the specific Plan provisions on which the benefit determination is based. 
 (c) A statement
that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits. 
 (d) In the case of disability benefits where disability is determined by a physician chosen by the Administrator: 
 (i) If an internal rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination, either the specific rule,
guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion; or a statement that such rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion was relied upon in making the adverse determination and that a copy of the rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar
criterion will be provided to you free of charge upon request. 
 (ii) If the adverse benefit determination is based on a medical necessity or
experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Plan to the Claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such
explanation will be provided free of charge upon request. 
 If the Claimant has a claim for benefits that is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, the
