Management Officials of the Bank shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time
to time by the Board, in its sole discretion, from among those eligible, and the Board shall determine in its sole discretion the numbers of shares to be covered by the Option or Options granted to each Participant. Options intended to qualify as
Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to persons who are eligible to receive such options under Section 422 of the Code; i.e., employees of the Bank. 
 Section 5. Shares of Stock Available for Options 
 (a) The maximum
number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued and purchased pursuant to Options granted under the Plan is 120,000, subject to the adjustments as provided in Section 5 and Section 9, to the extent applicable. Of this amount, the
maximum number of shares which may be purchased pursuant to Non-Qualified Options shall be 60,000, subject to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5 and Section 9. If an Option granted under this Plan expires or terminates before

available for subsequent Option grant under Plan.

purchase Common Stock at a price substantially below Fair Market Value, or other similar transaction affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is required in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be granted or made
available under the Plan to Participants, the Board shall proportionately and appropriately adjust equitably any or all of (i) the maximum number and kind of shares of Common Stock in respect of which Options may be granted under the Plan to
Participants, (ii) the number and kind of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Options held by Participants, and (iii) the exercise price with respect to any Options held by Participants, without changing the aggregate purchase
price as to which such Options remain exercisable, and if considered appropriate, the Board may make provision for a cash payment with respect to any outstanding Options held by a Participant, provided that no adjustment shall be made pursuant to
this Section if such adjustment would cause the Plan to fail to comply with Section 422 of the Code with regard to any Incentive Stock Options granted hereunder or fail to comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Act or any
successor or replacement regulation. No fractional Shares shall be issued on account of any such adjustment. 
 (c) Any
adjustments under this Section will be made by the Board, whose determination as to what adjustments, will be made and the extent thereof will be final, binding and conclusive. 
 Section 6. Non-Qualified Stock Options 
 6.1 Grant of Non-Qualified
Stock Options. 
 Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board may, from time to time, grant Non-Qualified Stock Options to
Participants upon such terms and conditions as the Board may determine, and may grant 

  
 –3–

 
Non-Qualified Stock Options in exchange for and upon surrender of previously granted Options under this Plan. Non-Qualified Stock Options granted under this Plan are subject to the following
terms and conditions: 
 (a) Price. The purchase price per share of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of each
Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be determined by the Board on the date the option is granted. The purchase price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant or the par
value of the Common Stock, whichever is greater. Shares may be purchased only upon full payment of the purchase price. 
 (b)
Terms of Options. The term during which each Non-Qualified Stock Option may be exercised shall be determined by the Board, but in no event shall a Non-Qualified Stock Option be exercisable in whole or in part more than ten (10) years
from the date of grant. 
 (c) Termination of Service. Except as provided herein, unless otherwise determined by the
Board, upon the termination of the service of a Participant who is not an employee for any reason other than Disability, death or Termination for Cause, the Participant’s Non-Qualified Stock Options shall be exercisable only as to those shares
which were immediately exercisable by the participant at the date of termination and only for one (1) year from the date of such termination. In the event of death or termination of service of a Participant who is not an employee as a result of
Disability of any Participant, all Non-Qualified Stock Options held by the Participant, whether or not exercisable at such time, shall be exercisable by the Participant or his legal representatives or beneficiaries of the Participant for one
(1) year from the date of such termination. Upon the termination of the service of a Participant who is a common law employee of the Bank for any reason other than Disability, death or Termination for Cause, the Participant’s Non-Qualified
Stock Options shall be exercised only as to those shares which were immediately exercisable by the Participant at the date of termination and only for a period of three months following termination. In the event of death or termination of service of
Participant who is a common law employee of the Bank as a result of Disability of any such Participant, all Non-Qualified Stock Options held by such Participant, whether or not exercisable at such time, shall be exercisable by the Participant or his
legal representatives or beneficiaries of the Participant for one year or such longer period as is determined by the Board following the date of the Participant’s death or termination of service due to Disability, provided and in no event shall
the period extend beyond the expiration of the Non-Qualified Stock Option term. Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth herein to the contrary nor any provision contained in any agreement relating to the award of an option, in the event of a
Termination for Cause, all of the Participant’s Non-Qualified Stock Options shall immediately expire upon such Termination for Cause and shall not be exercisable, regardless of whether such Non-Qualified Stock Options were vested. 

(d) Transferability. Except as provided for hereunder, no Option granted under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable by a
Participant, and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect. A Participant may transfer or assign an Option granted hereunder to an immediate family member or trust or benefit plan established for the Participant or an
immediate family member. For terms of this provision, the term “immediate family member” means a Participant’s spouse, parents and offspring. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent transfers by will or by the applicable
laws of descent and distribution.

 Section 7. Incentive Stock Options 

7.1 Grant of Incentive Stock Options. 
 The Board may, from time to time, grant Incentive Stock Options to Management Officials who are employees of the Bank. Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions: 
 (a) Price. The purchase price per share of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise
of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant or the par value of the Common Stock, whichever is higher. However, if a Participant owns stock
possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Common Stock, the purchase price per share of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of each Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant or the par value of the Common Stock, whichever is greater. Shares may be purchased only upon payment of the full purchase price. 

(b) Amounts of Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted to any Management Official who is an employee of the Bank in such
amounts as determined by the Board. In the case of an option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the option first becomes exercisable) of the Common Stock with respect to which
Incentive Stock Options granted are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. The provisions of this Section 7.1(b) shall be construed and applied in accordance with
Section 422(d) of the Code and the regulations, if any, promulgated thereunder. To the extent an award is in excess of such limit, it shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The Board shall have discretion to redesignate options granted
as Incentive Stock Options as Non-Qualified Options. 
 (c) Terms of Options. The term during which each Incentive Stock
Option may be exercised shall be determined by the Board, but in no event shall an Incentive Stock Option be exercisable in whole or in part more than ten (10) years from the date of grant. If at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted to
an employee, the employee owns Common Stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of the Bank (or, under Section 422(d) of the Code, is deemed to own Common Stock representing more than ten percent
(10%) of the total combined voting power of all such classes of Common Stock, by reason of the ownership of such classes of Common Stock, directly or indirectly, by or for any brother, sister, spouse, ancestor or lineal descendent of such
employee, or by or for any corporation, partnership, estate or trust of which such employee is a shareholder, partner or beneficiary), the Incentive Stock Option granted to such employee shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five years
from the date of grant. 
 (d) Termination of Service. Except as provided in Section 7.1(e) hereof, upon the
termination of a Participant’s service for any reason other than Disability, death or Termination for Cause, the Participant’s Incentive Stock Options which are then exercisable at the date of termination may only be exercised by the
Participant for a period of three months following termination. Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein nor contained in any Agreement relating to an award of an Option, in the event of Termination for Cause all rights under the
Participant’s Incentive Stock Options shall expire immediately upon termination, and such Incentive Stock Options shall not be exercisable. 
 Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in the event of death or termination of service as a result of Disability of any Participant, all Incentive Stock Options held by such Participant, whether

  
 –5–

 
or not exercisable at such time, shall be exercisable by the Participant or the Participant’s legal representatives or beneficiaries of the Participant for one year following the date of the
participant’s death or termination of employment as a result of Disability. In no event shall the exercise period extend beyond the expiration of the Incentive Stock Option term. 

(e) Transferability. No Incentive Option granted under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant, except
pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, and any attempted distribution shall be null and void and of no effect. 
 (f)
Compliance with Code. The options granted under this Section 7 of the Plan are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but the Bank makes no warranty as to the qualification of
any option as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. A Participant shall notify the Board in writing in the event that he disposes of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within the
two-year period following the date the Incentive Stock Option was granted or within the one-year period following the date he received Common Stock upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and shall comply with any other requirements imposed
by the Bank in order to enable the Bank to secure the related income tax deduction to which it will be entitled in such event under the Code. 

Section 8. Extension 

The Board may, in its sole discretion, extend the dates during which all or any particular Option or Options granted under the Plan may be
exercised; provided, however, that no such extension shall be permitted if it would cause Incentive Stock Options issued under the Plan to fail to comply with Section 422 of the Code. 
 Section 9. General Provisions Applicable to Options 
 (a) Each Option
under the Plan shall be evidenced by a writing delivered to the Participant specifying the terms and conditions thereof and containing such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Board considers necessary
or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan or comply with applicable tax and regulatory laws and accounting principles. 

(b) Each Option may be granted alone, in addition to or in relation to any other Option. The terms of each Option need not be identical,
and the Board need not treat Participants uniformly. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan or a particular Option, any determination with respect to an Option may be made by the Board at the time of grant or at any time thereafter. 

(c) In the event of a consolidation, reorganization, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Bank, in each case
in which outstanding shares of Common Stock are exchanged for securities, cash or other property of any other corporation or business entity or in the event of a liquidation of the Bank, the Board will provide for any one or more of the following
actions, as to outstanding options: (i) provide that such options shall be assumed, or equivalent options shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof), provided that any such options substituted for
Incentive Stock Options shall meet the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code, (ii) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all unexercised options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction
unless exercised (to the extent then exercisable) by the Participant within a specified period following the date of such notice, (iii) in the 

  
 –6–

 
event of a merger under the terms of which holders of the Common Stock of the Bank will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share surrendered in the merger (the “Merger
Price”), make or provide for a cash payment to the Participants equal to the difference between (A) the Merger Price times the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Options (to the extent then exercisable at prices
not in excess of the Merger Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options in exchange for the termination of such Options, and (iv) provide that all or any outstanding Options shall become exercisable in full
immediately prior to such event. 
 (d) The Participant shall pay to the Bank, or make provision satisfactory to the Board for
payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of Options under the Plan no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. In the Board’s sole discretion, a Participant may elect to have such tax obligations paid,
in whole or in part, in shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Option creating the tax obligation. For withholding tax purposes, the value of the shares of Common Stock shall be the Fair Market Value on the date the withholding
obligation is incurred. The Bank may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. 
 (e) For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of service of a Participant: 
 (i) a transfer to the employment of the Bank from a subsidiary or from the Bank to a subsidiary, or from one subsidiary to another, or 

(ii) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Bank, if the
Participant’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Board otherwise so provides in writing. 

(f) The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan or any outstanding Option held by a
Participant, including substituting therefore another Option of the same or a different type or changing the date of exercise or realization, provided that the Participant’s consent to each action shall be required unless the Board determines
that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant, and further provided that no amendment increasing the number of shares subject to the Plan or decreasing the exercise price for any
option provided for under the Plan may be effectuated without the approval of the shareholders of the Bank; provided, however, that no such amendment or modification will be effective if such amendment or modification would cause the Plan to fail to
comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Act or any successor or replacement regulation. 
 Section 10. Miscellaneous

 (a) No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Option, and the grant of an Option shall not be construed as
giving a Participant the right to continued employment or service on the Bank’s Board. The Bank expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in
the applicable Option. 
 (b) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Bank from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements. 

  
 –7–

 (c) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Option, no Participant shall have any rights
as a shareholder (including, without limitation, any rights to receive dividends, or non-cash distributions with respect to such shares) with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be distributed under the Plan until he or she becomes the holder
thereof. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed in this Plan, any provisions hereof that vary from or
conflict with any applicable Federal or State securities laws (including any regulations promulgated thereunder) shall be deemed to be modified to conform to and comply with such laws. 

(e) No member of the Board shall be liable for any action or determination taken or granted in good faith with respect to this Plan nor
shall any member of the Board be liable for any agreement issued pursuant to this Plan or any grants under it. Each member of the Board shall be indemnified by the Bank against any losses incurred in such administration of the Plan, unless his
action constitutes serious and willful misconduct. 
 (f) This Plan shall become effective upon its approval by the holders of
two-thirds (2/3) of the Common Stock of the Bank entitled to vote and the approval of the Plan by the Commissioner of the Department of Banking and Insurance pursuant to Section 27.51 of the Banking Act of 1948, as amended. Prior to such
approval, Options may be granted under the Plan expressly subject to such approval. 
 (g) Options may not be granted under the
Plan more than ten (10) years after approval of the Plan by the Bank’s Shareholders, but then outstanding Options may extend beyond such date. 
 (h) To the extent that State laws shall not have been preempted by any laws of the United States, the Plan shall be construed, regulated, interpreted and administered according to the other laws of the
State of New Jersey.

and containing such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Board considers necessary or advisable to achieve the purposes of the Plan or comply with applicable tax and regulatory laws and accounting
principles.

 (b) Each Option may be granted alone, in addition to or in relation to any other Option. The
terms of each Option need not be identical, and the Board need not treat Participants uniformly. Except as otherwise provided by the Plan or a particular Option, any determination with respect to an Option may be made by the Board at the time of
grant or at any time thereafter. 
 (c) In the event of a consolidation, reorganization, merger or sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Bank, in each case in which outstanding shares of Common Stock are exchanged for securities, cash or other property of any other corporation or business entity or in the event of a liquidation of the Bank, the Board will
provide for any one or more of the following actions, as to outstanding options: (i) provide that such options shall be assumed, or equivalent options shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof,
(ii) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all unexercised options will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction unless exercised (to the extent then exercisable) by the Participant within a specified
period following the date of such notice, (iii) in the event of a merger under the terms of which holders of the Common Stock of the Bank will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share surrendered in the merger (the
“Merger Price”), make or provide for a cash payment to the Participants equal to the difference between (A) the Merger Price times the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Options (to the extent then
exercisable at prices not in excess of the Merger Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options in exchange for the termination of such Options, and (iv) provide that all or any outstanding Options shall
become exercisable in full immediately prior to such event. 
 (d) The Participant shall pay to the Bank, or make provision
satisfactory to the Board for payment of, any taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of Options under the Plan no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability. In the Board’s sole discretion, a Participant may elect to
have such tax obligations paid, in whole or in part, in shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Option creating the tax obligation. For withholding tax purposes, the value of the shares of Common Stock shall be the Fair Market
Value on the date the withholding obligation is incurred. The Bank may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. 

(e) For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of service of a Participant: 

(i) a transfer to the employment of the Bank from a subsidiary or from the Bank to a subsidiary, or from one subsidiary to
another, or 
 (ii) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose
approved by the Bank, if the Participant’s right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Board otherwise so provides in writing.

 (f) The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan or any outstanding Option held by a
Participant, including substituting therefore another Option of the same or a different type or changing the date of exercise or realization, provided that the Participant’s consent to each action shall be required unless the Board determines
that the action, taking

into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant, and further provided that no amendment increasing the number of shares subject to the Plan or
decreasing the exercise price for any option provided for under the Plan may be effectuated without the approval of the shareholders of the Bank; provided, however, that no such amendment or modification will be effective if such amendment or
modification would cause the Plan to fail to comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Act or any successor or replacement regulation. 
 Section 9. Miscellaneous 
 (a) No person shall have any claim or right
to be granted an Option, and the grant of an Option shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or service on the Bank’s Board. The Bank expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss a Participant free
from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the applicable Option. 
 (b) Nothing contained in
the Plan shall prevent the Bank from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements. 
 (c) Subject to the provisions of
the applicable Option, no Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder (including, without limitation, any rights to receive dividends, or non-cash distributions with respect to such shares) with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be
distributed under the Plan until he or she becomes the holder thereof. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed
in this Plan, any provisions hereof that vary from or conflict with any applicable Federal or State securities laws (including any regulations promulgated thereunder) shall be deemed to be modified to conform to and comply with such laws.

 (e) No member of the Board shall be liable for any action or determination taken or granted in good faith with respect to
this Plan nor shall any member of the Board be liable for any agreement issued pursuant to this Plan or any grants under it. Each member of the Board shall be indemnified by the Bank against any losses incurred in such administration of the Plan,
unless his action constitutes serious and willful misconduct. 
 (f) This Plan shall become effective upon its approval by the
holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the Common Stock of the Bank entitled to vote and the approval of the Plan by the Commissioner of the Department of Banking and Insurance pursuant to Section 27.51 of the Banking Act of 1948, as amended.
Prior to such approval, Options may be granted under the Plan expressly subject to such approval. 
 (g) Options may not be
granted under the Plan more than ten (10) years after approval of the Plan by the Bank’s Shareholders, but then outstanding Options may extend beyond such date. 
 (h) To the extent that State laws shall not have been preempted by any laws of the United States, the Plan shall be construed, regulated, interpreted and administered according to the other laws of the
State of New Jersey.
