in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), the Employee shall receive the Total Payments unless the (a) after-tax amount that would be retained by the Employee (after taking into account all
federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Employee and the amount of any excise taxes payable by the Employee under Section 4999 of the Code that would be payable by the Employee (the “Excise Taxes”)) if the Employee were to
receive the Total Payments has a lesser aggregate value than (b) the after-tax amount that would be retained by the Employee (after taking into account all federal, state and local income taxes payable by the Employee) if the Employee were to
receive the Total Payments reduced to the largest amount as would result in no portion of the Total Payments being subject to Excise Taxes (the “Reduced Payments”), in which case the Employee shall be entitled only to the Reduced Payments.

the quarter on behalf of the Employee in amounts calculated as the Tax Gross-up pursuant to this Section. The Tax Gross-up shall be calculated by first determining the fair value of the vehicle at the date of transfer. This fair value will be

either of the Corporation or the Bank because of disability, the Executive’s employment with the other shall also terminate at the same time. During the period of incapacity leading up to the termination of the Executive’s employment under
this provision, the Employer shall continue to pay the full Base Salary at the rate then in effect and all perquisites and other benefits (other than bonus) until the Executive becomes eligible for benefits under any disability plan or insurance
program maintained by the Employer, provided that the amount of the payments by the Employer to the Executive under this Section 3.1(b) shall be reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, payable to the Executive for the same period under any

 3.2 Involuntary Termination with Cause. The Employer
may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause. If the Executive’s employment terminates for Cause, the Executive shall receive the Base Salary through the date on which termination becomes effective and reimbursement of expenses to
which the Executive is entitled when termination becomes effective. If the Executive is terminated for Cause by either of the Corporation or the Bank, the Executive shall be deemed also to have been terminated for Cause by the other. The Executive

shall (x) contain findings that the Executive has committed an act constituting Cause, and (y) specify the particulars thereof. The resolution of the board of directors shall be deemed to have been duly adopted if and only if it is adopted
by the affirmative vote of 75% of the directors of the Corporation then in office or a majority of the directors of the Bank then in office, in either case excluding the Executive. Notice of the meeting and the proposed termination for Cause shall
be given to the Executive a reasonable time before the meeting of the board of directors. The Executive and the Executive’s counsel (if the Executive chooses to have counsel present) shall have a reasonable opportunity to be heard by the board
of directors at the meeting. For purposes of this Agreement “Cause” means any of the following:

reputation of the Employers or their affiliates; 

  

	 	(3)	a breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit; 

  

	 	(4)	the intentional failure to perform stated duties under this Agreement after written notice thereof from the board of directors if such failure is not cured within
thirty (30) days of such notice; 

  

	 	(5)	a willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than minor or routine traffic violations or similar offenses) that reflects adversely on the reputation of the
Company or the Association or its affiliates, any felony conviction, any violation of law involving moral turpitude, or any violation of a final cease-and-desist order; 

 

	 	(6)	a material breach by the Executive of any provision of this Agreement. 

  
 5 

 No act, or failure to act, on the Executive’s part shall be considered “willful” unless he
has acted, or failed to act, with an absence of good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or failure to act was in the best interest of the Company. 
 3.3 Voluntary Termination by the Executive Without Good Reason. If the Executive terminates employment without Good Reason, the Executive shall receive the Base Salary and expense
reimbursement to which the Executive is entitled through the date on which termination becomes effective. The Executive must provide the Employers with sixty (60) days notice of termination under this provision. 

3.4 Involuntary Termination Without Cause and Voluntary Termination with Good Reason. With written notice to the Executive
at least sixty (60) days in advance, the Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment without Cause. Termination shall take effect at the end of the notice period. With advance written notice to the Employer as provided in clause (y),
the Executive may terminate employment for Good Reason. If the Executive’s employment terminates involuntarily without Cause or voluntarily but with Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits specified in Article 4 of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a voluntary termination by the Executive shall be considered a voluntary termination with Good Reason if the conditions stated in both clauses (x) and (y) of this Section 3.4 are satisfied:

following occur without the Executive’s written consent, and the term Good Reason shall mean the occurrence of any of the following without the Executive’s written consent: 

 

	 	(1)	a material diminution of the Executive’s Base Salary; 

  

	 	(2)	a material diminution of the Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities;

	 	(4)	any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Employer under this Agreement. 

(y) the Executive must give notice to the Employer of the existence of one or more of the conditions described in clause (x) within
sixty (60) days after the initial existence of the condition, and the Employer shall have thirty (30) days thereafter to remedy the condition. In addition, the Executive’s voluntary termination because of the existence of one or more
of the conditions described in clause (x) must occur within six (6) months after the initial existence of the condition.

Limitation of Benefits Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that (x) the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to the Executive under this Agreement or
otherwise, which are deemed to be parachute payments as defined in Section 280G of the Code or any successor thereof, (the “Termination Benefits”) would be deemed to include an “excess parachute payment” under
Section 280G of the Code; and (y) if such Termination Benefits were reduced to an amount (the “Non-Triggering Amount”), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times the
Executive’s “base amount,” as determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code and the Non-Triggering Amount less the product of the marginal rate of any applicable state and federal income tax and the Non-Triggering Amount

enforce the provisions hereof, the Executive hereby waives the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law is available to the Employer, and the Executive agrees not to urge in any such action the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law

geographical and temporal restrictions contained therein) is held to be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the unenforceable or invalid provision or portion shall be modified or deleted so that the provisions hereof, as modified, are legal and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law. 
 (c) The Executive acknowledges that the Employer’s
willingness to enter into this Agreement and to make the payments contemplated by Articles 3 and 4 of this Agreement is conditioned on the Executive’s acceptance of the covenants set forth in Articles 6 and 7 of this Agreement and that the
Employer would not have entered into this Agreement without such covenants in force. 
 7.4 Injunctive and Other
Relief. Because of the unique character of the services to be rendered by the Executive hereunder, the Executive understands that the Employer would not have an adequate remedy at law for the material breach or threatened breach by the
Executive of any one or more of the Executive’s covenants in this Article 7. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that the Employer’s remedies for a breach of this Article 7 include, but are not limited to, (x) forfeiture of any money
representing accrued salary, contingent payments, or other fringe benefits (including any amount payable pursuant to Article 4) due and payable to the Executive during the period of any breach by Executive, and (y) a suit in equity by the
Employer to enjoin the Executive from the breach or threatened breach of such covenants. The Executive hereby waives the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law is available to the Bank and the Executive agrees not to urge in any such action
the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists. Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the Employer from pursuing any other or additional remedies for the breach or threatened breach. 

7.5 Article 7 Survives Termination But Is Void After a Change in Control. The rights and obligations set forth in this
Article 7 shall survive termination of this Agreement. However, Article 7 shall become null and void effective immediately upon a Change in Control.

 ARTICLE 8 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 8.1 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon the Employers and any successor to the Employers, including any persons acquiring directly or
indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Employers by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or otherwise, but this Agreement and the Employers’ obligations under this Agreement are not otherwise
assignable, transferable, or delegable by the Employer. By agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, the Employers shall require any successor to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Employers expressly to
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Employers would be required to perform had no succession occurred. 
 (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, and legatees.

 (c) Without written consent of the other parties, no party shall assign, transfer, or delegate this Agreement or any rights
or obligations under this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, the Executive’s right to receive payments hereunder is not assignable or transferable, whether by pledge,
creation of a security interest, or otherwise, except for a transfer by the Executive’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution. If the Executive attempts an assignment or transfer that is contrary to this Section 8.1, the Employer
shall have no liability to pay any amount to the assignee or transferee. 
 8.2 Arbitration. Except for any claim
for injunctive relief, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
The Employer and the Executive agree that they will seek to enforce any arbitration award in the Superior Court of Norfolk County. The decision of the arbitration panel shall be final and biding upon the parties and judgment upon the award rendered
by the arbitration panel may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. The Employer and the Executive agree to share equally the fees and expenses associated with the arbitration proceedings. The Executive must initial here:
             
 8.3 Attorneys’ Fees. With respect
to arbitration of disputes and litigation ensues between the parties concerning the enforcement of an arbitration award, each party shall pay its own fees, costs and expenses; provided, however, the Employer shall advance to the Executive reasonable
fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Executive in preparing for and in initiating or defending against any proceeding or suit brought to enforce rights or obligations set forth in this Agreement. Such advances shall be made within thirty
(30) days after receiving copies of invoices presented by the Executive for such fees, costs and expenses. The Executive shall have the obligation to reimburse the Employer within sixty (60) days following the final disposition of the
matter (including appeals) to the full extent of the aggregate advances unless the panel of arbitrators or court, as the case may be, has ruled in favor of the Executive on the merits of the substantive issues in dispute. 

8.4 Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Forum. This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the internal laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. By entering into this Agreement, the
Executive acknowledges that the Executive is subject to the jurisdiction of both the federal and state courts in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. 

  
 12 

 8.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the
parties concerning the employment of the Executive by the Employer. Any oral or written statements, representations, agreements, or understandings made or entered into prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, including the
agreement with the Bank, dated May 16, 2007, are hereby rescinded, revoked, and rendered null and void by the parties. 

8.6 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given if delivered by hand or mailed, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid. Unless otherwise changed by notice, notice shall be properly addressed to the Executive if addressed to the address of
the Executive on the books and records of the Employer at the time of the delivery of such notice, and properly addressed to the Employer if addressed to the board of directors of the Corporation and the Bank at the Bank’s executive offices.

 8.7 Severability. If there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any statute, regulation,
or judicial precedent, the latter shall prevail, but the affected provisions of this Agreement shall be curtailed and limited solely to the extent necessary to bring them within the requirements of law. If any provisions of this Agreement is held by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be indefinite, invalid, void or voidable, or otherwise unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect unless that would clearly be contrary to the intentions of the parties
or would result in an injustice. 
 8.8 Captions and Counterparts. The captions in this Agreement are solely for
convenience. The captions do not define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument. 
 8.9 No Duty to Mitigate. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of
any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment. Moreover, provided the Executive is not in breach of any obligation under Articles 6 and 7 of this Agreement, the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement shall not
be reduced by any compensation earned or benefits provided as the result of employment of the Executive or as a result of the Executive being self-employed after employment termination. 

8.10 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, released, discharged, abandoned, changed, or modified in any
manner, except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor affect
the validity of this Agreement or any part thereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver or any breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. 

8.11 Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The Employer and the Executive intend that their exercise of
authority or discretion under this Agreement shall comply with Section 409A of the Code. If any provision of this Agreement does not satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such provision shall nevertheless be applied in a
manner consistent with those requirements. If any provision of this Agreement would subject the Executive to additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code, the Employer shall reform the provision. However, the Employer shall
maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without subjecting the Executive to additional tax or interest, and the Employer shall not be required to incur any additional compensation expense as a
result of the reformed provision.

 8.12 Regulatory Requirements. 

(a) If the Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by an order

except for the payment of Annual Base Salary due and owing under Section 3.1 on the effective date of said order, and reimbursement under Section 3.5 of expenses incurred as of the effective date of termination. 

(b) If the Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employer’s affairs by a

 (c) If the Employer is in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the FDIA), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but the vested rights of the parties
shall not be affected.

made that continuation of the contract is necessary for the continued operation of the Employer (1) by the director of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) or his or her designee (the “Director”), at the
time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Employer under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the FDIA; or (2) by the Director, at the time the Director approves a supervisory merger to
resolve problems related to operation of the Employer when the Employer is determined by the Director to be in an unsafe and unsound condition. Any rights of the Executive that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.

 (e) All obligations under this Agreement are further subject to such conditions, restrictions, limitations and forfeiture
provisions as may separately apply pursuant to any applicable state banking laws.
