DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE

		 	CUSIP: 170228AB6                    

 Chittenden Corporation, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Vermont
(herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
                        
                     on February 14, 2017, unless previously redeemed, and to pay interest thereon as set forth below. This Security will bear
interest from February 14, 2007 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date on which interest has been paid or duly provided for. From and including February 14, 2007 to but excluding February 14, 2012 (the “Fixed Rate
Period”), this Security will bear interest at the rate of 5.80% per annum. During the period from and including February 14, 2012, to but excluding the date of maturity or earlier redemption date (the “Floating Rate
Period”), the interest rate per annum payable on this Security will be reset quarterly on the first day of each Interest Reset Period (as defined below) to a rate, as determined by an appointed agent (the “Calculation Agent”) equal to
LIBOR (as defined below), plus 0.685%. The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, will initially act as the Calculation Agent. During the Fixed Rate Period, the amount of interest payable on this Security will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. During the Floating Rate Period, the amount of interest for each day this Security is outstanding (the “Daily Interest Amount”) will be calculated by dividing the interest
rate in effect for that day by 360 and multiplying the result by the outstanding principal amount of this Security. The amount of interest to be paid on this Security for each Interest Period (as defined below) during the Floating Rate Period will
be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in the Interest Period. 

 Through February 14, 2012, the Company will
pay interest on this Security semi-annually in arrears on each February 14 and August 14, commencing August 14, 2007. After February 14, 2012, the Company will pay interest on this Security quarterly in arrears on each
February 14, May 14, August 14, and November 14, commencing May 14, 2012. Each such payment of interest is referred to as an “Interest Payment Date” for this Security. Interest will be paid to the Person
in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) was registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day (whether or not
a Business Day (as defined below)) preceding the related Interest Payment Date (“Regular Record Date”). Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record
Date and will be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice
whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. The term “Business Day” means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday
and that is not a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law or executive order to be closed in The City of New York or Boston, Massachusetts. 
 Except as described below for the first and last Interest Periods, on each Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay interest for the period commencing
on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day preceding that Interest Payment Date (an “Interest Period”). The first Interest Period will begin on and include February 14, 2007
and end on and include August 13, 2007. The last Interest Period will begin on and include the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the date of maturity or early redemption date, as applicable, and end on and include the day immediately
preceding the date of maturity or early redemption date, as applicable. 
 In the event that an Interest Payment Date with respect to
interest accruing during the Fixed Rate Period (including February 14, 2012) is not a Business Day, the Company will pay interest on the next day that is a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date,
and without any additional interest or other payment with respect to the delay. In the event that an Interest Payment Date (other than the date of maturity or earlier redemption date) with respect to interest accruing during the Floating Rate Period
is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, if such next succeeding Business Day is in a different month, such Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding
Business Day. If the date of maturity or early redemption date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest, if any, will be made on the next day that is a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made
on such date of maturity or earlier redemption date, and without any additional interest or other payment with respect to the delay. 
 “LIBOR,” with respect to an Interest Reset Period, shall be the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in United States dollars for a three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day (as defined
below) after the Determination Date (as defined 

 
below) that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 (as defined below) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the Determination Date. If Reuters Page LIBOR01 does not
include this rate or is unavailable on the Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of four major banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide that
bank’s offered quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum) as of approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on the Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in a Representative Amount (as defined below) in
United Stated dollars for a three-month period beginning on the second London Bank Day after the Determination Date. If at least two offered quotations are so provided, LIBOR for that Interest Reset Period will be the arithmetic mean of those
quotations. If fewer than two quotations are so provided, the Calculation Agent will request each of three major banks in New York City, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide that bank’s rate (expressed as a percentage per annum), as
of approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Determination Date for loans in a Representative Amount in United States dollars to leading European banks for a three-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the
Determination Date. If at least two rates are so provided, LIBOR for that Interest Reset Period will be the arithmetic mean of those rates. If fewer than two rates are so provided, then LIBOR for the Interest Reset Period will be LIBOR in effect
with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Reset Period or, in the case of the first Interest Reset Period, the rate per annum during the Fixed Rate Period. 
 “Determination Date” with respect to an Interest Reset Period will be the second London Banking Day preceding the first day of the Interest Reset Period. 
 “Interest Reset Period” shall mean each period, during the Floating Rate Period, commencing on and including an Interest Payment Date and
ending on but excluding the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or the date of maturity or earlier redemption date, as applicable. The first Interest Reset Period shall commence on and include February 14, 2012 and end on and exclude
May 14, 2012. 
 “London Banking Day” is any day in which dealings in United States dollars are transacted in the London
interbank market. 
 “Representative Amount” means a principal amount, but not less than $1,000,000, that is representative for a
single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time. 
 “Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display designated as
“LIBOR01” on Reuters 3000 Xtra (or any successor service) (or such other page as may replace Page LIBOR01 on Reuters 3000 Xtra or any successor service). 
 All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards
(e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). 
 The interest rate on this Security will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law, as the same may be modified by United
States law of general application. Under present New York law, the maximum rate of interest is 25% per annum on a simple interest basis. 

 The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the holder of any new Security, provide the interest rate
then in effect. All calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and holders of this Security. 
 Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any such interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for that purpose in Boston, Massachusetts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

 This Security is subject to redemption prior to the Stated Maturity as described on the reverse hereof. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have
the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on behalf of the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

 Form of Reverse of Security. 
 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of February 14,
2007 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture
and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the
Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $125,000,000. The Company may
issue additional Securities of this series, having the same terms as this Security (except for the issue date) and, if issued, such additional Securities will be part of the same series as this Security. In addition, by the terms of the Indenture,
additional Securities of other separate series, which may vary as to date, amount, Stated Maturity, interest rate or method of calculating the interest rate and in other respects as therein provided, may be issued in an unlimited principal amount.

 The Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture referred to above, subordinate
and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest on all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as defined in the Indenture, and each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same,
agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination of this Security as provided
in the Indenture and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this
Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture regarding payments to creditors in respect of General Obligations (as defined in the Indenture). In particular, the Indenture provides that if upon the occurrence of certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Company, there remains, after giving effect to the subordination provisions referred to in the preceding paragraph, any amount of cash, property or securities available for payment or distribution in respect
of Securities (as defined in the Indenture, “Excess Proceeds”), and if, at such time, any creditors in respect of General Obligations have not received payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of such General
Obligations, then such Excess Proceeds shall first be applied to pay or provide for the payment in full of such General Obligations before any payment or distribution may be made in respect of Securities. This paragraph shall immediately and
automatically terminate, be null and void ab initio and have no further effect upon the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined in the Indenture). 

 Beginning on February 14, 2012, and on any Interest Payment Date thereafter, the Company may, at its
option and subject to prior regulatory approval, if required, redeem some or all of the Securities of this series at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus any accrued interest and any
additional amounts then payable with respect to such redeemed Securities to but excluding the date fixed for redemption. The Holders will be notified not more than 60 days or less than 30 days before the Securities are redeemed. If only some of the
Securities are redeemed, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed in principal amounts of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof in such manner as it deems appropriate and fair. Securities that have been called for redemption and with
respect to which monies sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on those Securities have been made available to the Trustee shall cease to be outstanding from and after the redemption date. 
 The Securities of this series are not subject to any sinking fund. 
 The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and in certain
circumstances, to all General Obligations, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions,
(b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his or her acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter
created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions. 
 The Indenture permits, with
certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected and, for certain purposes, without the consent of the Holders
of any Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Security. 
 Subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company set forth in this Security and as provided
in the Indenture referred to above, no reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this
Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security are
payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Securities of this series and of like tenor of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and subsequently may not be exchanged by a Holder for
Securities in denominations of less than $1,000. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior
to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner hereof for
all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.Exhibit 10.5(a)

day of             , 20     between People’s United Financial, Inc. (the “Company”), and
                    , an officer of the Company or its wholly-owned subsidiary, People’s United Bank (the “Bank”) or one of the
Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Executive”). 
 W I T N E S S E T H 
 WHEREAS the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders to secure Executive’s continued services and to ensure Executive’s continued dedication to Executive’s duties in the event of any threat or occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2(e)); and

 WHEREAS the Company desires to enter into this Agreement with Executive according to the terms set forth herein, and Executive desires to
enter into this Agreement with the Company on such terms. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein, the
parties agree as follows: 
 1. Term of Agreement. 
 (a) This Agreement is effective on the date hereof and shall continue in effect until the third anniversary of the date hereof; provided, that, notwithstanding the occurrence of such third anniversary,
this Agreement shall continue in effect until the end of the Protection Period (as defined in Section 1(b)) if a Change in Control shall have occurred during the term of this Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate if (1) either
Executive or the Company terminates Executive’s employment for any reason before a Change in Control, or (2) a Change in Control occurs and Executive’s employment continues through the end of the Protection Period.

(2) a pro rata amount of Executive’s annual cash bonus during the year of termination based on the Target Bonus Level;
  
 (3) an amount equal to the retirement benefits that Executive would have earned,
if Executive had remained employed for two additional years following the Date of Termination (assuming that Executive’s annual base salary as of the date immediately before Executive’s termination and the Target Bonus Level continued
during such years), under the People’s Bank Employee’s Retirement Plan, the People’s Bank Cap Excess Plan, the People’s Bank Enhanced Senior Pension Plan (to the extent that the Bank continues to maintain such plans), and any
other supplemental retirement agreement covering Executive (such amount to be paid at the same time as benefits under the applicable nonqualified plan are payable); and

		  	 (4) for two years, Executive, Executive’s spouse and dependents (if any) will continue to be entitled to participate in the
Company’s group health plans in which Executive participates immediately prior to the Date of Termination at the Company’s expense, provided that Executive timely elects continuation coverage under COBRA, and provided that if the Company
is unable to provide such coverage after the end of the COBRA continuation period under the Company’s group health plan, the Company shall, following the expiration of the COBRA coverage period, provide Executive and Executive’s dependents

 (2) a pro rata amount of Executive’s annual bonus during the year of termination, based on the Target Bonus Level.

  

 -3- 

 (b) Discharge for Cause. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for
Cause. “Cause” shall mean (i) Executive’s willful failure to perform or substantially perform Executive’s duties with the Company or People’s United Bank (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the
“Bank”)); (ii) illegal conduct or gross misconduct by Executive that is willful and demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company’s or the Bank’s business, monetarily or otherwise; (iii) a willful and
material breach by Executive of Section 3 of this Agreement or the Company’s written code of conduct; (iv) Executive’s indictment for, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere with respect to, a felony crime or a crime
involving moral turpitude, fraud, forgery, embezzlement or similar conduct; or (v) Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Company’s affairs pursuant to an order issued under
Section 21C(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or in the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; provided, however, that the actions in
(i) through (iii), above, shall not be considered Cause unless Executive has failed to cure such actions within 30 days of receiving written notice specifying with particularity the events allegedly giving rise to Cause and that such actions
shall not be considered Cause unless the Company provides such written notice within 180 days of any Board member (other than Executive, if applicable at the time of such notice) having knowledge of the relevant action. Further, no act or failure to
act by the Executive shall be deemed “willful” unless done or omitted to be done not in good faith and without reasonable belief that such action or omission was in the Company’s best interests, and any act or omission by Executive
pursuant to authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or on the advice of counsel for the Company will be deemed made in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. Executive shall not be deemed to be discharged for
Cause hereunder unless and until there is delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board (excluding Executive, if applicable), at a meeting called
and duly held for such purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive and Executive’s counsel to be heard before the Board), finding in good faith that Executive is guilty of the conduct set forth above and
specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 
 (c) Discharge Other Than for Cause or Resignation for Good Reason, in each case during
the Protection Period. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for any reason, and without advance notice. If, during the Protection Period, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than
for Cause or Executive resigns for Good Reason, then Executive will only receive the special benefits provided under Section 2(a) if Executive signs and delivers a release of claims in the form of Annex 1 in favor of the Company and its
related companies and affiliates within 21 days following the date of Executive’s termination. Unless such release is timely executed and delivered in accordance herewith and such release becomes effective in accordance with applicable law
following the expiration of any applicable revocation period, no payments or benefits shall be provided to Executive pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement. Within 30 days following the earlier of the effective date of the general release and
the 30th day following the Date of Termination, 

  

 -4- 

 
the Company shall pay Executive a lump sum equal to any cash payments that Executive is entitled in accordance with Section 2(a) of this Agreement (it
being acknowledged by the parties that this Agreement is intended to provide for payments that satisfy the short term deferral exception under Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(4) and are thus not intended to be deferred compensation under Internal Revenue
Code section 409A). 
 (d) Resignation. During the Protection Period, Executive shall not resign from employment without giving the
Company at least 30 days advance written notice unless Executive has Good Reason to resign. The Company may accept Executive’s resignation effective on the date set forth in Executive’s notice or any earlier date. “Good
Reason” for resignation shall exist upon (i) a material diminution of Executive’s duties or responsibilities, authorities, powers, or functions without Executive’s written consent, (ii) any material reduction in
Executive’s rate of annual base salary or target annual cash bonus, in each case as in effect immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control, (iii) a relocation that would result in Executive’s principal location of employment
being moved fifty miles or more away from the Executive’s principal location immediately prior to a Change in Control, or (iv) the Company’s material breach of this Agreement without Executive’s written consent, provided,
however, that the actions in (i) through and (iv), above, shall not be considered Good Reason unless Executive notifies the Company in writing within 30 days of Executive’s knowledge of the actions giving rise to the Good Reason,
and the Company has failed to cure such actions within 30 days of receiving written notice thereof. 
 (e) Change in Control. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any one or more of the following events during the term of this Agreement: 
 (i) Any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Sections 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (“Exchange Act”)) (“Person”) becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 25% or more of either (A) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company
(the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting
Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this paragraph, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (X) any acquisition by the Company, (Y) any acquisition by any employee benefit
plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its affiliates or (Z) any acquisition pursuant to a transaction that complies with Sections 2(e)(iii)(A), 2(e)(iii)(B), and 2(e)(iii)(C) of this Agreement; 
 (ii) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Company’s Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to
constitute a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director

subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of
the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either
(A) an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board or (B) agreement with any
third party; 
 (iii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar
transaction involving the Company or the Bank (or the issuance of stock by the Company), a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the deposits of the Bank, or the acquisition of assets or stock of
another entity by the Company (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the
Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a
non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may
be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or
more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person
(excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more
of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such corporation, except to the extent that such
ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were
members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board providing for such Business Combination; 
 (iv) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or 
  

 -6- 

 (v) Any event that would be described in Section 2(e)(i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv) if the term “Bank” were substituted for the term “Company” therein. 
 (f) Golden Parachute Tax and Related
Limitations. 
 (i) If there is a change in ownership or control of any member of the Bank’s or the Company’s
“affiliated group” (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. 1.280G-1 or any successor thereto) (collectively, the “Company Group”) that causes any payment or distribution by any member of the Bank, the Company or any other
person or entity to Executive or for Executive’s benefit (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this
Section) (a “Payment”) to be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (such excise tax, together with any interest or penalties incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax, the “Excise
Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to
such taxes), including any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive will retain an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the
Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined that Executive would otherwise be entitled to a Gross-Up Payment but that the Payments would not be subject to the Excise Tax if the Payments were reduced by an amount that is less than
10% of the Payments, then Executive will not receive the Gross-Up Payment, and the Payments will be reduced to the maximum amount that would not result in the imposition of the Excise Tax. The payments to be reduced will be determined in a manner
which has the least economic cost to Executive and, to the extent the economic cost is equivalent, will be reduced in the inverse order of when payment would have been made to Executive until the 10% reduction is achieved. 
 (ii) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2(ii), all determinations required to be made under this Section, including whether
and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by an outside nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company or the
Board, in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there
has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint another
nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting 

  

 -7- 

 
Firm hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, if applicable, as determined
pursuant to this Section 2(f), shall be paid by the Company to the Executive within 30 days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm shall be based on detailed supporting
calculations provided both to the Company and Executive at such time as is requested by either party. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies
pursuant to Section 2(f) (and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment (as defined below) that has occurred which shall be promptly paid by the
Company to or for the benefit of the Executive. In no event shall the Gross-Up Payment be made later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year next following the Executive’s taxable year in which the related taxes are remitted to the
taxing authority. 
 (iii) The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service
that, if successful, would require an additional Payment or Payments, as the case may be, which have not been made by the Company, but could have been made pursuant to this Section 2(f)(iii) (the “Underpayment”). Such
notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 10 business days after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be
paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is
due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claims, Executive shall: 
 (1) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim, 
 (2) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably
selected by the Company, 
 (3) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order effectively to contest such claim, and

 (4) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall
bear and pay directly all reasonable costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest 

  

 -8- 

 
and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect
thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. In no event shall the payment of any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) be made later than the end of the
Executive’s taxable year next following the Executive’s taxable year in which the related taxes are remitted to the taxing authority. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 2(f)(iii), the Company shall control
all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole
option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial
jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine and subject to the Company covering all out of pocket expenses incurred in such contest; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and
sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or
penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the
taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues and/or claims that are
materially related to the imposition of any Excise Tax or with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be otherwise payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal
Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. The Company and Executive shall promptly deliver to each other copies of any written communications and summaries of any verbal communications with any taxing authority regarding the matters addressed
herein. 
 (iv) If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 2(f)(i),
Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 2 promptly pay to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any
interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 2, a determination is made that Executive 

  

 -9- 

 
shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of
refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment
required to be paid. 
 (g) Definition of Disability. “Disability” shall mean termination because of any physical or
mental impairment which qualifies Executive for disability benefits under the applicable long-term disability plan maintained by the Company or, if no such plan applies, which would qualify Executive for disability benefits under the Federal Social
Security System. 
 3. Confidentiality. During the term of this Agreement, in exchange for Executive’s promises to use such
information solely for the Company Group’s benefit, the Company and members of the Company Group will provide Executive with Confidential Information concerning, among other things, its business, operations, clients, investors, and business
partners. “Confidential Information” refers to information not generally known by others in the form in which it is used by the Company Group, and which gives the Company or any member of the Company Group a competitive advantage
over other companies which do not have access to this information, including secret, confidential, or proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company and the Company Group, conveyed orally or reduced to a tangible form in any medium,
including information concerning the operations, future plans, customers, business models, strategies, and business methods of the Company and the Company Group, as well as information about their customers, clients and business partners and their
respective operations and confidential information. Confidential Information does not include information that (i) Executive knew prior to his employment with the Company or any predecessor company, (ii) subsequently came into
Executive’s possession other than through his work for the Company, the Company Group or any predecessor company and not as a result of a breach of any duty owed to the Company, or (iii) is generally known within the relevant industry.

 (a) Promise Not to Disclose. During the term of this Agreement and for any period of employment following the term of this
Agreement, Executive agrees not to use and not to disclose any Confidential Information, provided that Executive may use and disclose Confidential Information only for the Company’s benefit and in accordance with any restrictions placed on its
use or disclosure by the Company. To the extent that Executive is not employed by the Company during the two-year period following the term of this Agreement, Executive will not use or disclose any Confidential Information. Notwithstanding this
paragraph, Executive may disclose Confidential Information (i) as required to do so by court order, subpoena, or otherwise as required by law, the Office of Thrift Supervision, or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, provided that, to the
extent permitted by law, upon receiving such order, subpoena, or request and prior to disclosure, Executive shall provide written notice to the Company of such order, 

  

 -10- 

 
subpoena, or request and of the content of any testimony or information to be disclosed and shall cooperate fully with the Company to lawfully resist
disclosure of the information, and (ii) to an attorney for the purpose of securing professional advice, provided that such attorney has been advised of the confidential nature of such information and has agreed in writing to keep such
information confidential in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 4. Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Company will indemnify Executive against any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising by reason of Executive’s status as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of the
Company or the Bank during Executive’s employment (whether before or after the date of this Agreement and/or the expiration of this Agreement). In addition, to the extent permitted by law, the Company will advance or reimburse any expenses,
including reasonable attorney’s fees, Executive incurs in investigating and defending any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding for which Executive may be entitled to indemnification under this Section 4. Executive agrees to
repay any expenses paid or reimbursed by the Company if it is ultimately determined that Executive is not legally entitled to be indemnified by the Company. If the Company’s ability to make any payment contemplated by this Section 4
depends on an investigation or determination by the Board or the board of directors of the Bank, at Executive’s request the Company will use its best efforts to cause the investigation to be made (at the Company’s expense) and to have the
relevant board reach a determination as soon as reasonably possible. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 does not limit any indemnification, advancement and similar obligations the Company or the Bank may have to Executive under their
respective constituent documents, which shall apply in accordance with their terms. 
 5. Amendment. No provisions of this Agreement
may be modified, waived, or discharged except by a written document signed by a duly authorized Company officer and Executive. A waiver of any conditions or provisions of this Agreement in a given instance shall not be deemed a waiver of such
conditions or provisions at any other time in the future. 
 6. Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction, and
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut (excluding any that mandate the use of another jurisdiction’s laws). 
 7. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, Executive and his estate, but Executive may not assign or pledge this Agreement or any rights arising under it, except to
the extent permitted under the terms of the benefit plans in which he participates. The Company shall be required to cause this Agreement to be assigned to and assumed by any successor to the business and/or the assets of the Company and/or Bank.
For purposes of clarity, this Agreement shall not be terminated by any Business Combination; in the event of any Business Combination, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the surviving entity, and such surviving entity shall be
treated as the Company hereunder. 
  

 -11- 

 8. Taxes. The Company shall withhold taxes from any payments it makes pursuant to this Agreement
as it reasonably determines to be required by applicable law. Executive shall be solely responsible for all taxes imposed on Executive by reason of the receipt of any amount of compensation or benefits payable to Executive hereunder. The Company
agrees to structure the payments and benefits described in this Agreement, and Executive’s other compensation, to be exempt from or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the extent applicable (including, but only
to the extent applicable, to suspend certain payments or benefits until the end of the six month period following Executive’s termination of employment). The Company will not take any action (or omit to take any action that is required to be
taken) in respect of Executive’s compensation or benefits, other than as expressly required by applicable law, that would cause Executive to incur tax under Section 409A of the Code. If Executive or the Company believes, at any time, that
any feature of Executive’s compensation or benefits does not comply with (or is not exempt from) Section 409A of the Code or that any action taken or contemplated to be taken (including any failure to take action) in regards to
Executive’s compensation or benefits caused or might cause a violation of Section 409A of the Code, Executive or the Company will promptly advise the other and will reasonably negotiate in good faith to amend the terms of the payments or
benefits or alter the action or contemplated action (in a manner that in the aggregate does not have a material adverse economic effect on Executive) in order that Executive’s payments or benefit arrangements comply with (or are exempt from)
the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or in order to mitigate any additional taxes that may apply under Section 409A of the Code if compliance or exemption is not practicable. If it is not possible to amend the terms of the payments
or benefits or alter the action in a way that causes Executive’s payments or benefit arrangements to comply with (or be exempt from) the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, Executive and the Company will reasonably negotiate in good
faith to amend the terms of Executive’s payments or benefits (including if necessary through payments made to Executive either before or after Executive have ceased employment) to put Executive in an economic position materially equivalent to
the position Executive would have been in had the payments and benefits complied with (or been exempt from) Section 409A of the Code. 
 9. No Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payments provided pursuant to this Agreement, whether by seeking employment or otherwise; nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit due under this
Agreement be set-off in any manner, or reduced by any compensation or benefit that Executive earns after his discharge. 
 10. Dispute
Costs. The Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Executive against reasonable costs, including legal fees, incurred by him in conjunction with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which Executive may be involved, as a
result of Executive’s efforts, in good faith, to defend or enforce the 

  

 -12- 

 
terms of this Agreement, so long as Executive substantially prevails in such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that indemnification shall not be
provided to the extent Executive is found to not have acted in good faith in bringing or defending the relevant action pursuant to a judgment, decree or order of a court of competent jurisdiction or of an arbitrator in an arbitration proceeding. In
addition, to the extent permitted by law, the Company will advance or reimburse any expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, Executive incurs in investigating, defending or bringing any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding for
which Executive may be entitled to indemnification under this Section 10 Executive agrees to repay any expenses paid or reimbursed by the Company if it is ultimately determined that Executive is not legally entitled to be indemnified by the
Company. The determination of whether Executive shall have failed to act in good faith and is therefore not entitled to such indemnification, shall be made by the court or arbitrator, as applicable. The Company will pay directly or reimburse
Executive for all attorneys and advisors fees incurred by him in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and other related documents. 
 11. Scope of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to entitle Executive to continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, and if Executive’s employment shall terminate before a
Change in Control, Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement (except as may be otherwise specifically provided in Section 4). 
 12. Notice. 
 (a) For purposes of this Agreement, all notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or 5 days after deposit in the United States mail, certified and return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows: 
  

			
	If to Executive:	  	To the address of the Executive on the records of the Company.

that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt. 
 (b) A written notice of Executive’s Date of Termination by
the Company or Executive, as the case may be, to the other, shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated and (iii) specify the 

  

 -13- 

 
termination date. The failure by Executive or the Company to set forth in such notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason
or Cause shall not waive any right of Executive or the Company hereunder or preclude Executive or the Company from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing Executive’s or the Company’s rights hereunder. 
 13. Full Settlement; Resolution of Disputes. 
 (a) The Company’s obligation to make any payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall be in lieu and in full settlement of all other severance payments to Executive under any other
severance or employment agreement between Executive and the Company, and any severance or change in control plan of the Company, including but not limited to The People’s Bank Change in Control Employee Severance Plan. 
 (b) Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Bridgeport, Connecticut
by three arbitrators in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators’ award in any court having jurisdiction. 
 14. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument. 
 16.
Entire Agreement. All oral or written agreements or representations express or implied, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement are set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties
hereto and supersedes any prior agreement between the Company or any predecessor and Executive with respect to the subject matter contained herein, except that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring
to Executive of a kind elsewhere provided. 
 17. Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an
instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument
of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not
constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically waived. 
  

 -14- 

 18. Banking Law Restrictions. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to make, and Executive shall have no right to receive, any
payment, benefit, or amount under this Agreement which would violate Section 1828(k)(1) of Title 12 of the United States Code and any related regulation or order of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. To the extent the preceding sentence
shall limit any payment, benefit or amount under this Agreement, the Company will use best efforts promptly to apply to the appropriate federal banking agency for a determination that the payment, benefit or amount is permissible. Any of the
preceding that is determined permissible will be paid or provided in accordance with its terms or, if due before the date of determination, will be paid or provided within 10 days of determination together with interest at the applicable federal
rate (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code). If and to the extent that the foregoing provision shall cease to be required by applicable law, rule or regulation, the same shall become inoperative as though eliminated by formal amendment of
this Agreement. 
 (b) For the avoidance of doubt, the Bank may terminate Executive’s employment at any time without any liability to
Executive. However, any such termination shall not prejudice Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement.

the Company and Executive has executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
