participation by execution of a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Participation Agreement (“Participation Agreement”) in a form provided by the Bank. This Plan is intended to comply with Internal Revenue Code (“Code”)
Section 409A and any regulatory or other guidance issued under such Section. 
 WHEREAS, the Bank recognizes the valuable services performed for
it by the Executives and wishes to encourage their continued employment and to provide them with additional incentive to achieve corporate objectives; and 

WHEREAS, the Bank intends this Plan to be considered an unfunded arrangement, maintained primarily to provide supplemental retirement income for the
Executives who are members of a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Bank, for tax purposes and for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1.974, as amended; and . 

WHEREAS, the Bank has adopted this Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan which controls all issues relating to benefits as described herein, and which
replaces in its :entirety all other agreements and representations; oral or written, between the Bank and each Executive with respect to any supplemental executive retirement benefits to be provided to the Executive by the Bank: 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Bank has adopted this Plan as follows: 

SECTION I 
 DEFINITIONS

 When used herein, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings below unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: 

 

	1.1	“Account Balance” means the amount credited to the Executive hereunder, including Discretionary Contributions and earnings thereon. 

 

	1.2	“Administrator” means the Board. 

  

	1.3	“Annual Contribution” means the fixed dollar annual contribution set forth in the Executive’s Participation Agreement. 

 

	1.4	 “Beneficiary” means the person or persons (and their heirs) designated as Beneficiary by the Executive to whom the deceased Executive’s
benefits are payable. Such beneficiary designation shall be made on the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and filed with the Plan Administrator. If no Beneficiary is so designated, then the Executive’s spouse, if

	 	
living, will be deemed the Beneficiary. If the Executive’s spouse is not living, then the Executive’s children (both natural and legally adopted) will be deemed the Beneficiaries and
will take on a per stirpes basis. If there are no such living children, then the estate of the Executive will be deemed the Beneficiary. 

  

	1.5	“Benefit Age” means the date set forth in each Executive’s Participation Agreement. 

  

	1.6	“Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Bank. 

  

	1.7	 “Cause” shall have the same meaning as set forth in any employment agreement or change in control agreement between the Bank or the Company
and the Executive. If Executive is not a party to an employment agreement or a change in control agreement with the Bank or the Company, then Cause shall mean (i) the conviction of the Executive of a felony or of any lesser criminal offense
involving moral turpitude; (ii) the willful commission by the Executive of any act that, in the judgment of the Board, will likely cause substantial economic damage to the Bank or substantial injury to the business reputation of the Bank;

regulatory agency or a court of competent jurisdiction requiring the termination of the Executive’s employment by the Bank. For this purpose, no act, or failure to act, on the part of Executive shall be deemed “willful” unless done,
or omitted to be done, by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Bank. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall Executive be deemed to be acting in
good faith or in the best interests of the Bank for purposes of the preceding sentence with respect to acts of omission or commission taken in contravention of any direction(s), rule(s) or requirement(s) issued, authorized, approved or ratified by
the Board. Any termination for Cause shall be subject to the same formalities required in a for Cause termination under any severance or change in control agreement between the Executive and the Bank. If the Executive is not a party to such an
agreement, then a termination for Cause shall not occur unless the Bank provides Executive with written notice stating that the Bank intends to terminate Executive for Cause (as defined herein) and setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances allegedly constituting Cause, and the Bank affords Executive a period of two (2) weeks after issuance of such notice either to demonstrate, through written rebuttal, that Cause does not exist or to cure the circumstances
constituting such Cause; provided, however, that the determination of whether Cause exists or whether Executive has sufficiently cured any Cause, shall be made in the reasonable discretion of the Board, as evidenced by the affirmative vote of not
less than a majority of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to Executive and Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before
the Board). Nothing in this definition shall prevent the Bank from terminating Executive for Cause prior to the issuance of the above-referenced notice or expiration of the above-referenced two (2) week rebuttal/cure period; provided however
that if, upon the expiration of such 

  
 2 

	 	
two (2) week period, it is determined that facts or circumstances sufficient to constitute Cause did not (or, if applicable, do not) exist or has/have been cured, then such earlier
termination of Executive by the Bank shall be deemed to be without Cause. 

  

	1.8	“Change in Control” means (i) a change in ownership of the Company or the Bank under paragraph (a) below, or (ii) a change in effective control of the Company or the Bank under paragraph
(b) below, or (iii) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company or the Bank under paragraph (c) below:

market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the
corporation, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. There is no Change in Control event under this paragraph (c) when there is a transfer to an entity that is
controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation immediately after the transfer; or

such Executive is entitled shall be paid to such conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or estate. 

  

	6.5	Unclaimed Benefit. Executive shall keep the Bank informed of his or her current address and the current address of his or her Beneficiaries. If the location of Executive is not made known to the Bank, the Bank
shall delay payment of Executive’s benefit payment(s) until the location of Executive is made known to the Bank; however, the Bank shall only be obligated to hold such benefit payment(s) for Executive until the expiration of three
(3) years. Upon expiration of the three (3) year period, the Bank may discharge its obligation by payment to Executive’s Beneficiary. If the location of Executive’s Beneficiary is not known to the Bank, Executive and his
Beneficiary(ies) shall thereupon forfeit any rights to the balance, if any, of any benefits provided for such Executive and/or Beneficiary under this Plan. 

  

	6.6	Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of the Plan, no individual acting as an employee or agent of the Bank, or as a member of the Board of the Bank shall be personally liable
to Executive or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Plan.

	6.9	Acceleration of Payments. Except as specifically permitted herein or in other sections of this Plan, no acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment may be made hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
payments may be accelerated hereunder by the Bank, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) and any subsequent guidance issued by the United States Treasury Department. Accordingly, payments may be
accelerated, in accordance with requirements and conditions of the Treasury Regulations (or subsequent guidance) in the following circumstances: (i) as a result of certain domestic relations orders; (ii) in compliance with ethics
agreements with the federal government; (iii) in compliance with ethics laws or conflicts of interest laws; (iv) in limited cash-outs (but not in excess of the limit under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B)); (v) in the case of certain
distributions to avoid a non-allocation year under Code Section 409(p); (vi) to apply certain offsets in satisfaction of a debt of Executive to the Bank; (vii) in satisfaction of certain bona fide disputes between Executive and

and Indemnification Payments or any other rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 

  

	6.12	Payment of Employment and Code Section 409A Taxes. Any distribution under this Plan shall be reduced by the amount of any taxes required to be withheld from such distribution. This Plan shall permit the
acceleration of the time or schedule of a payment to pay employment-related taxes as permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j) or to pay any taxes that may become due at any time that the arrangement fails to meet the requirements
of Code Section 409A and the regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder. In the latter case, such payments shall not exceed the amount required to be included in income as the result of the failure to comply with the requirements of
Code Section 409A. 

  

	6.13	Non-competition, Non-solicitation and Nondisclosure. In the event Executive has a vested Account Balance under this Plan, the benefits provided to Executives under this Plan are specifically conditioned on each
Executive’s covenant that, for a period of one (1) year following the Executive’s Separation from Service with the Bank, the Executive will not, without the written consent of the Bank, either directly or indirectly:

  

	 	(a)	solicit, offer employment to, or take any other action intended (or that a reasonable person acting in like circumstances would expect) to have the effect of causing any officer or employee of the Bank or any of its
affiliates to terminate his or her employment and accept employment or become affiliated with, or provide services for compensation in any capacity whatsoever to, any business or other entity; 

 

	 	(b)	become an officer, employee, consultant, director, independent contractor, agent, sole proprietor, joint venturer, greater than 5% equity-owner or stockholder, partner or trustee of any savings bank, savings and loan
association, savings and loan holding company, credit union, bank or bank holding company, insurance company or agency, any mortgage or loan broker or any other entity that has headquarters or offices within fifteen (15) miles of the locations
in which the Bank or its affiliates has business operations or has filed an application for regulatory approval to establish an office as of the date of Executive’s termination; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply if the
Executive’s employment is terminated following a Change in Control; or 

  

	 	(c)	solicit, provide any information, advice or recommendation or take any other action intended (or that a reasonable person acting in like circumstances would expect) to have the effect of causing any customer of the Bank
or its affiliates to terminate an existing business or commercial relationship with the Bank or its affiliates; 

  
 11 

	 	(d)	at any time or in. any manner; directly or ‘indirectly, use or disclose Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) to any party other than the Bank either during or after Executive’s termination of
employment for any reason, except for purposes consistent with the. administration and performance of Executive’s obligations hereunder, or as required by law, provided that written notice of
any legally required disclosure shall be given to the Bank promptly prior to any such disclosure and Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Bank to protect the confidentiality thereof pursuant to applicable law or regulation. For these
purposes, the term “Confidential Information” includes any confidential or proprietary information furnished or provided by the Bank to Executive after Executive first became employed by the Bank (without regard to whether such information
is conveyed directly or on the Bank’s behalf), or otherwise acquired by Executive as a consequence of Executive’s employment with the Bank and that is not generally known in the industry in which the Bank is engaged and that in any way
relates to the products, services, purchasing, marketing, names of customers, vendors or suppliers, merchandising and selling, plans, data, specifications or any other confidential and proprietary information of the Bank or any affiliate. Any
Confidential Information supplied to an Executive by the Bank prior to the Executive’s participation in this Plan shall be considered in the same manner and be subject to the same treatment as the Confidential Information made available after
Executive’s participation in this Plan. The term “Confidential Information” does not include information (i) which was already in the public domain, (ii) which is disclosed as a matter of right by a third party source after
Executive’s participation in this Plan, provided such third party source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Bank or (iii) which passes into the public domain by acts other than the unauthorized acts of Executive, whether
acting alone or in concert; provided, however, that any disclosure of Confidential Information may be made by Executive if the Bank expressly consents thereto in writing prior to such disclosure. 

In the event that the Executive violates any of this provision of this Section 6.13, all benefits payable to Executive shall cease and any
benefits previously paid shall be reimbursed to the Bank within thirty (30) days of the Bank’s notification to Executive that this provision has been violated. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.13 to the contrary, in the
event of Executive’s termination of employment following a Change in Control, Executive shall not be subject to the requirements of Sections 6.13(a), (b) or above. 

SECTION VII 

AMENDMENT/TERMINATION 
  

	7.1	Amendment or Modification. This Plan may be amended or modified at any time, provided, however, that no such amendment may serve to reduce the vested benefits of any Executive, and provided further, that no
amendment or modification shall be valid if it violates Code Section 409A, as in effect at the time of such amendment or modification. 

  
 12 

	7.2	Termination of Plan. Subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, in the event of complete termination of the Plan, the Plan shall cease to operate arid the Bank shall pay out to Executives their
benefits as if the Executive had terminated employment as of the effective date of the .complete termination. Such complete termination of the Plan shall occur only under the following circumstances and conditions: 

 

	 	(a)	The Board may terminate the Plan within 12 months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331, or with approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts
deferred under the Plan are included in Executive’s gross income in the latest of (i) the calendar year in which the Plan terminates; (ii) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture;
or (iii) the first calendar year in which the payment is administratively practicable. 

  

	 	(b)	The Board may terminate the Plan by Board action taken within the 30 days preceding a Change in Control (but not following a Change in Control), provided that the Plan shall only be treated as terminated if all
substantially similar arrangements sponsored by the Bank are terminated so that the Executives and all participants under substantially similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated
arrangements within 12 months of the date of the termination of the arrangements. Following the termination of the Plan, the amount payable to each Executive shall be the amount to which the Executive is entitled upon a Change in Control, as set
forth in the Executive’s Participation Agreement. 

 SECTION VIII 

ESTABLISHMENT OF RABBI TRUST 

The Bank may establish a rabbi trust into which the Bank intends to contribute assets which shall be held therein, subject to the claims of
the Bank’s creditors in the event of the Bank’s “Insolvency” as defined in the agreement which establishes such rabbi trust, until the contributed assets are paid to the Executive and his Beneficiaries in such manner and at such
times as specified in this Plan or as otherwise provided in the rabbi trust. It is the intention of the Bank to make contributions to the rabbi trust to provide the Bank with a source of funds to assist it in meeting the liabilities of this Plan.
