commenced under the Plan, but before receiving a total of one hundred eighty (180) payments, the Employer shall continue payments to the Executive’s Beneficiary until a total of one hundred eighty (180) payments have been paid to the
Executive and/or his Beneficiary. If the Executive dies after receiving one hundred eighty (180) or more payments of benefit payments, this Agreement will terminate and no additional payments will be made to the Executive’s Beneficiary
under the Plan. 
 3.6. Change in Control Benefit. Upon a Change in Control, the Executive will be one hundred percent

commencing thirty (30) days following said Change in Control. 
 3.7. Restriction on Timing of Distributions. Notwithstanding
the applicable provisions of this Plan regarding timing of payments, the following special rules shall apply if the stock of the Employer is publicly traded at the time of the Executive’s Separation from Service in order for this Plan to comply

provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder require a delay of such distributions by a six-month period after the date of such Executive’s Separation from Service with the Employer, no such distribution shall be
made prior to the date that is six months after the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service with the Employer, and (ii) any such delayed payments shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum within five (5) business

 ARTICLE 4 

BENEFICIARIES 
 4.1.
Beneficiary Designations. The Executive shall have the right to designate at any time a Beneficiary to receive any benefits payable under this Plan upon the death of the Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be the same as
or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other benefit plan of the Employer in which the Executive participates. 
 4.2.
Beneficiary Designation; Changes. The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated agent. The Executive’s Beneficiary
designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive 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, as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new

 4.3. Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be
effective until received in writing by the Plan Administrator or its designated agent. 
 4.4. No Beneficiary Designation. If the
Executive dies without a valid Beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive’s spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall
be distributed to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate. 
 4.5. Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to
a minor, to a person declared incapacitated, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Employer may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care or custody of the minor,

for the benefit. 
 ARTICLE 5 

GENERAL LIMITATIONS 
 5.1.
Limits on Payments. It is the intention of the parties that none of the payments to which the Executive is entitled under this Plan will constitute a “golden parachute payment” within the meaning of 12 USC Section 1828(k) or

Executive pursuant to this Plan, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned on compliance with Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder including the receipt of all required approvals thereof by Employer’s primary
federal banking regulator and/or the FDIC. 
 In addition, Employer and its successors retain the legal right to demand the return of any
payment made hereunder which constitutes a “golden parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 1828(k) or implementing regulations of the FDIC should Employer or its successors later obtain information indicating that the
Executive committed, is substantially responsible for, or has violated, the respective acts or omissions, conditions, or offenses outlined under 12 C.F.R. 359.4(a)(4).

ADMINISTRATION OF AGREEMENT 

8.1. Plan Administrator Duties. This Plan shall be administered by a Plan Administrator consisting of the Board or such committee or
person(s) as the Board shall appoint. The Plan Administrator shall have the sole and absolute discretion and authority to interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Plan and the rights of the Executive

8.2. Agents. In the administration of this Plan, the Plan Administrator may employ agents and delegate to them such administrative
duties as it sees fit (including acting through a duly appointed representative) and may from time to time consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Employer. 

8.3. Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Plan Administrator with respect to any question arising out of or in
connection with the administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan. Without limiting the
foregoing, it is acknowledged that the value of the benefits payable hereunder may be difficult to determine in the event the Employer does not actually purchase and maintain the Annuity Contract as contemplated hereunder; therefore, in such event,
the Employer shall have the right to make any reasonable assumptions in determining the benefits payable hereunder and any such determination made in good faith shall be binding on the Executive.
