grant to the Executive a leave or leaves of absence, with or without pay, at such time or times and upon such terms and conditions as the Board in its discretion may determine. 

 8. Expense Payments and Reimbursements. The Executive shall be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses that he shall

	 	a.	During the term of this Agreement Executive: i. shall devote all his time, attention, skill, and efforts to the faithful performance of his duties hereunder; provided, however, that
from time to time, Executive may serve on the boards of directors of, and hold any other offices or positions in, companies or organizations which will not present any conflict of interest with the Company and the Bank or any of their subsidiaries
or affiliates, unfavorably affect the performance of Executive’s duties pursuant to this Agreement, or violate any applicable statute or regulation and ii. shall not engage in any business or activity contrary to the business affairs or
interests of the Company and the Bank. 

  

	 	b.	Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent or limit Executive’s right to invest in the capital stock or other securities of any business dissimilar from that of the
Company and the Bank, or, solely as a passive, minority investor, in any business. 

  

	 	c.	Executive agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any and all information concerning the operation or financial status of the Company and the Bank; the names or addresses of any
of its borrowers, depositors and other customers; any information concerning or obtained from such customers; and any other information concerning the Company and the Bank to which he may be exposed during the course of his employment. The Executive
further agrees that, unless required by law or specifically permitted by the Board in writing, he will not disclose to any person or entity, either during or subsequent to his employment, any of the above-mentioned information which is not generally
known to the public, nor shall he employ such information in any way other than for the benefit of the Company and the Bank. 

  

					
		 	3	  	

 11. Termination and Termination Pay. Subject to Section 12 of this Agreement,
Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated in the following circumstances: 
  

	 	a.	Death. Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall terminate upon his death during the term of this Agreement, in which event Executive’s estate shall be
entitled to receive the compensation due to the Executive through the last day of the calendar month in which his death occurred. 

  

	 	b.	Retirement. This Agreement shall be terminated upon Executive’s retirement under the retirement benefit plan or plans in which he participates pursuant to Section 6
of this Agreement or otherwise. 

  

	 	c.	Disability. 

  

	 	i.	The Board or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment after having determined Executive has a Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means a
physical or mental infirmity that impairs Executive’s ability to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement and that results in Executive becoming eligible for long-term disability benefits under any long-term disability plans of the
Company and the Bank (or, if there are no such plans in effect, that impairs Executive’s ability to substantially perform his duties under this Agreement for a period of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days). The Board shall determine
whether or not Executive is and continues to be permanently disabled for purposes of this Agreement in good faith, based upon competent medical advice and other factors that they reasonably believe to be relevant. As a condition to any benefits, the
Board may require Executive to submit to such physical or mental evaluations and tests as it deems reasonably appropriate. 

  

	 	ii.	 In the event of such Disability, Executive’s obligation to perform services under this Agreement will terminate. The Bank will pay Executive, as Disability
pay, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s bi-weekly rate of base salary in effect as of the date of his termination of employment due to Disability. Disability payments will be made on a monthly basis and will
commence on the first day of the month following the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment for Disability and end on the earlier of: (A) the date he returns to full-time employment at the Bank in the same capacity as he
was employed prior to his termination for Disability; (B) his death; or (C) upon attainment of age 65. Such payments shall be reduced by the amount of any short- or long-term 

  

					
		 	4	  	

	 	 
disability benefits payable to the Executive under any other disability programs sponsored by the Company and the Bank. In addition, during any period of
Executive’s Disability, Executive and his dependents shall, to the greatest extent possible, continue to be covered under all benefit plans (including, without limitation, retirement plans and medical, dental and life insurance plans) of the
Company and the Bank, in which Executive participated prior to his Disability on the same terms as if Executive were actively employed by the Company and the Bank. 

  

	 	d.	Termination for Cause. 

  

	 	i.	The Board may, by written notice to the Executive in the form and manner specified in this paragraph, immediately terminate his employment at any time, for “Cause”. The
Executive shall have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination for Cause. Termination for “Cause” shall mean termination because of, in the good faith determination of the Board, Executive’s:

  

	 	(1)	Personal dishonesty; 

  

	 	(2)	Incompetence; 

  

	 	(3)	Willful misconduct; 

  

	 	(4)	Breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit; 

  

	 	(5)	Intentional failure to perform stated duties under this Agreement; 

  

	 	(6)	Willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or a final cease-and-desist order; or 

  

	 	(7)	Material breach by Executive of any provision of this Agreement. 

  

	 	ii.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause by the Company and the Bank unless there shall have been delivered to Executive a copy
of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of such Board called and held for the purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive to be heard
before the Board with counsel), of finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of the conduct described above and specifying the particulars thereof. 

  

	 	e.	 Voluntary Termination by Executive. In addition to his other rights to terminate under this Agreement, Executive may voluntarily terminate employment during

  

					
		 	5	  	

	 	 
the term of this Agreement upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Boards, in which case Executive shall receive only his
compensation, vested rights and employee benefits up to the date of his termination. 

  

	 	f.	Without Cause or With Good Reason. 

  

	 	i.	In addition to termination pursuant to Sections 11a. through 11e. the Boards, may, by written notice to Executive, immediately terminate his employment at any time for a reason
other than Cause (a termination “Without Cause”) and Executive may, by written notice to the Board, immediately terminate this Agreement at any time within ninety (90) days following an event constituting “Good Reason” as
defined below (a termination “With Good Reason”). 

  

	 	ii.	Subject to Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event of termination under this Section 11f., Executive shall be entitled to receive his base salary for the remaining term
of the Agreement paid in one lump sum within ten (10) calendar days of such termination. Also, in such event, Executive shall, for the remaining term of the Agreement, receive the benefits he would have received during the remaining term of the
Agreement under any retirement programs (whether tax-qualified or non-qualified) in which Executive participated prior to his termination (with the amount of the benefits determined by reference to the benefits received by the Executive or accrued
on his behalf under such programs during the twelve (12) months preceding his termination) and continue to participate in any benefit plans of the Company or the Bank that provide health (including medical and dental), life or disability
insurance, or similar coverage upon terms no less favorable than the most favorable terms provided to senior executives of the Company and the Bank during such period. In the event that the Company and the Bank are unable to provide such coverage by
reason of Executive no longer being an employee, the Company and the Bank shall provide Executive with comparable coverage on an individual policy basis. 

  

	 	iii.	“Good Reason” shall exist if, without Executive’s express written consent, the Company and the Bank materially breach any of their respective obligations under this
Agreement. Without limitation, such a material breach shall be deemed to occur upon any of the following: 

  

	 	(1)	A material reduction in Executive’s responsibilities or authority in connection with his employment with the Company or the Bank; 

  

	 	(2)	Assignment to Executive of duties of a non-executive nature or duties for which he is not reasonably equipped by his skills and experience; 

  

					
		 	6	  	

	 	(3)	Failure of the Executive to be nominated or renominated to the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company; 

  

	 	(4)	A reduction in salary or benefits contrary to the terms of this Agreement, or, following a Change in Control as defined in Section 12 of this Agreement, any reduction in salary
or material reduction in benefits below the amounts to which he was entitled prior to the Change in Control; 

  

	 	(5)	Termination of incentive and benefit plans, programs or arrangements, or reduction of Executive’s participation to such an extent as to materially reduce their aggregate value
below their aggregate value as of the Effective Date; 

  

	 	(6)	A requirement that Executive relocate his principal business office or his principal place of residence outside of the area consisting of a twenty-five (25) mile radius from
the current main office and any branch of the Bank, or the assignment to Executive of duties that would reasonably require such a relocation; or 

  

	 	(7)	liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the Bank. 

  

	 	iv.	Notwithstanding the foregoing, a reduction or elimination of the Executive’s benefits under one or more benefit plans maintained by the Company or the Bank as part of a good
faith, overall reduction or elimination of such plans or plans or benefits thereunder applicably to all participants in a manner that does not discriminate against Executive (except as such discrimination may be necessary to comply with law) shall
not constitute an event of Good Reason or a material breach of this Agreement, provided that benefits of the type or to the general extent as those offered under such plans prior to such reduction or elimination are not available to other officers
of the Company and the Bank or any company that controls either of them under a plan or plans in or under which Executive is not entitled to participate. 

  

	 	g.	Continuing Covenant Not to Compete or Interfere with Relationships. Regardless of anything herein to the contrary, following a termination by the Company and the Bank or
Executive pursuant to Section 11f. of this Agreement: 

  

	 	i.	Executive’s obligations under Section 10c. of this Agreement will continue in effect; and 

  

	 	ii.	 During the period ending on the first anniversary of such termination, the Executive shall not serve as an officer, director or employee of any bank 

  

					
		 	7	  	

	 	 
holding company, bank, savings bank, savings and loan holding company, or mortgage company (any of which, a “Financial Institution”) which
Financial Institution offers products or services competing with those offered by the Bank from any office within fifty (50) miles from the main office or any branch of the Bank and shall not interfere with the relationship of the Company and
the Bank and any of its employees, agents, or representatives. 

 12. Termination in Connection with a Change in
Control. 
  

	 	a.	For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control means any of the following events: 

  

	 	i.	Merger: The Company merges into or consolidates with another corporation, or merges another corporation into the Company, and as a result less than a majority of the combined
voting power of the resulting corporation immediately after the merger or consolidation is held by persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately before the merger or consolidation. 

  

	 	ii.	Acquisition of Significant Share Ownership: There is filed or required to be filed a report on Schedule 13D or another form or schedule (other than Schedule 13G) required
under Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if the schedule discloses that the filing person or persons acting in concert has or have become the beneficial owner of 25% or more of a class of the Company’s voting
securities, but this clause (b) shall not apply to beneficial ownership of Company voting shares held in a fiduciary capacity by an entity of which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of its outstanding voting
securities. 

  

	 	 iii.
	 Change in Board Composition: During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who constitute the
Company’s Board of Directors at the beginning of the two-year period cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause iii., each director who is
first elected by the board (or first nominated by the board for election by the stockholders) by a vote of at least two-thirds ( 2/3) of the directors who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period shall be deemed to have also been a director at the beginning of such period; or 

  

	 	iv.	Sale of Assets: The Company sells to a third party all or substantially all of its assets. 

  

					
		 	8	  	

 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall reorganization of the Bank
from the mutual holding company form of organization to the full stock holding company form of organization (including the elimination of the mutual holding company) constitute a “Change in Control” for purposes of this Agreement.

  

	 	b.	Termination. If within the period ending two (2) years after a Change in Control, (i) the Company and the Bank shall terminate the Executive’s employment
Without Cause, or (ii) Executive voluntarily terminates his employment With Good Reason, the Company and the Bank shall, within ten calendar days of the termination of Executive’s employment, make a lump-sum cash payment to him equal to
2.99 times the Executive’s average Annual Compensation over the five (5) most recently completed calendar years ending with the year immediately preceding the effective date of the Change in Control. In determining Executive’s average
Annual Compensation, Annual Compensation shall include base salary and any other taxable income, including but not limited to amounts related to the granting, vesting or exercise of restricted stock or stock option awards, commissions, bonuses
(whether paid or accrued for the applicable period), as well as, retirement benefits, director or committee fees and fringe benefits paid or to be paid to Executive or paid for Executive’s benefit during any such year, profit sharing, employee
stock ownership plan and other retirement contributions or benefits, including to any tax-qualified plan or arrangement (whether or not taxable) made or accrued on behalf of Executive of such year. The cash payment made under this Section 12b.
shall be made in lieu of any payment also required under Section 11f. of this Agreement because of a termination in such period. Executive’s rights under Section 11f. of this Agreement are not otherwise affected by this
Section 12. Also, in such event, the Executive shall, for a thirty-six (36) month period following his termination of employment, receive the benefits he would have received over such period under any retirement programs (whether
tax-qualified or nonqualified) in which the Executive participated prior to his termination (with the amount of the benefits determined by reference to the benefits received by the Executive or accrued on his behalf under such programs during the
twelve (12) months preceding the Change in Control) and continue to participate in any benefit plans of the Company and the Bank that provide health (including medical and dental), life or disability insurance, or similar coverage upon terms no
less favorable than the most favorable terms provided to senior executives of during such period. In the event that the Company and the Bank are unable to provide such coverage by reason of the Executive no longer being an employee, the Company and
the Bank shall provide the Executive with comparable coverage on an individual policy. 

  

	 	c.	Notwithstanding Section 12a. of this Agreement, in the event Executive elects to terminate his employment for Good Reason (as defined in Section 11f. iii of this
Agreement) Executive must notify the Bank or the Company within ninety (90) days after the initial existence of an event that qualifies as Good Reason and the Bank or the Company must be given and opportunity, not less than thirty
(30) days, to effectuate a cure for such asserted Good Reason by Executive. 

  

					
		 	9	  	

	 	d.	The provisions of Section 12 and Sections 14 through 27, including the defined terms used is such sections, shall continue in effect until the later of the expiration of this
Agreement or two (2) years following a Change in Control. 

 13. Indemnification and Liability Insurance.

  

	 	a.	Indemnification. The Company and the Bank agree to indemnify the Executive (and his heirs, executors, and administrators), and to advance expenses related thereto, to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law and regulations against any and all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit, or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his
having been a director or Executive of the Company, the Bank or any of their subsidiaries (whether or not he continues to be a director or Executive at the time of incurring any such expenses or liabilities) such expenses and liabilities to include,
but not be limited to, judgments, court costs, and attorney’s fees and the cost of reasonable settlements, such settlements to be approved by the Board, if such action is brought against the Executive in his capacity as an Executive or director
of the Company and the Bank or any of their subsidiaries. Indemnification for expense shall not extend to matters for which the Executive has been terminated for Cause. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to provide indemnification prohibited
by applicable law or regulation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of this Section 13 shall survive the term of this Agreement by a period of six (6) years. 

  

	 	b.	Insurance. During the period in which indemnification of the Executive is required under this Section, the Company and the Bank shall provide the Executive (and his heirs,
executors, and administrators) with coverage under a directors’ and Executives’ liability policy at the expense of the Company and the Bank, at least equivalent to such coverage provided to directors and senior Executives of the Company
and the Bank. 

 14. Reimbursement of Executive’s Expenses to Enforce this Agreement. The Company and the
Bank shall reimburse the Executive for all out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the Executive in connection with successful enforcement by the Executive of the obligations of the Company
and the Bank to the Executive under this Agreement. Successful enforcement shall mean the grant of an award of money or the requirement that the Company and the Bank take some action specified by this Agreement: i. as a result of court order; or ii.
otherwise by the Company and the Bank following an initial failure of the Company and the Bank to pay such money or take such action promptly after written demand therefor from the Executive stating the reason that such money or action was due under
this Agreement at or prior to the time of such demand. 
  

					
		 	10	  	

 15. Limitation of Benefits under Certain Circumstances. If the payments and benefits
pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Company and the Bank, would constitute a “parachute payment” under
Section 280G of the Code, the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12 shall be reduced or revised, in the manner determined by the Executive, by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no portion of the
payments and benefits under Section 12 being non-deductible to the Company and the Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. The determination of any reduction in
the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section 12 shall be based upon the opinion of the Company and the Bank’s independent public accountants and paid for by the Company and the Bank. In the event that the Company, the Bank
and/or the Executive do not agree with the opinion of such counsel, i. the Company and the Bank shall pay to the Executive the maximum amount of payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12, as selected by the Executive, which such opinion
indicates there is a high probability of such payments and benefits being deductible to the Company and the Bank and not subject to the imposition of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code and ii. the Company and the Bank may
request, and the Executive shall have the right to demand that they request, a ruling from the IRS as to whether the disputed payments and benefits pursuant to Section 12 have such consequences. Any such request for a ruling from the IRS shall
be promptly prepared and filed by the Company and the Bank, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of the opinion of counsel referred to above, and shall be subject to the Executive’s approval prior to filing, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company, the Bank and the Executive agree to be bound by any ruling received from the IRS and to make appropriate payments to each other to reflect any such rulings, together with interest at the applicable
federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. Nothing contained herein shall result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which the Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment other than pursuant to
Section 12 hereof, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified in Section 12 below zero. 
 16. Injunctive
Relief. If there is a breach or threatened breach of Section 11g. of this Agreement or the prohibitions upon disclosure contained in Section 10c. of this Agreement, the parties agree that there is no adequate remedy at law for such
breach, and that the Company and the Bank shall be entitled to injunctive relief restraining the Executive from such breach or threatened breach, but such relief shall not be the exclusive remedy hereunder for such breach. The parties hereto
likewise agree that the Executive, without limitation, shall be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce the obligations of the Company and the Bank under this Agreement. 
 17. Successors and Assigns. 
  

	 	a.	This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon any corporate or other successor of the Company and the Bank which shall acquire, directly or indirectly, by merger,
consolidation, purchase or otherwise, all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company and the Bank. 

  

					
		 	11	  	

	 	b.	Since the Company and the Bank are contracting for the unique and personal skills of Executive, Executive shall be precluded from assigning or delegating his rights or duties
hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the Company and the Bank. 

 18. No Mitigation.
Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided
to Executive in any subsequent employment. 
 19. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications in
connection with this Agreement shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered by hand or 48 hours after mailing at any general or branch United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to the Company and/or the Bank at their principal business offices and to Executive at his home address as maintained in the records of the Company and the Bank. 
 20. No Plan Created by this Agreement. Executive, the Company and the Bank expressly declare and agree that this Agreement was negotiated
among them and that no provision or provisions of this Agreement are intended to, or shall be deemed to, create any plan for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or any other law or regulation, and each party expressly waives any
right to assert the contrary. Any assertion in any judicial or administrative filing, hearing, or process that such a plan was so created by this Agreement shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement by the party making such an assertion.

 21. Amendments. No amendments or additions to this Agreement shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by all of
the parties, except as herein otherwise specifically provided. 
 22. Applicable Law. Except to the extent preempted by Federal
law, the laws of the State of Connecticut shall govern this Agreement in all respects, whether as to its validity, construction, capacity, performance or otherwise. 
 23. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other
provisions hereof. 
 24. Headings. Headings contained herein are for convenience of reference only. 
 25. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any understanding or modifications thereof as agreed to in writing by the parties,
shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, other than written agreements with respect to specific plans, programs or arrangements described in Sections 5 and 6. 
  

					
		 	12	  	

 26. Required Provisions. In the event any of the foregoing provisions of this
Section 26 are in conflict with the terms of this Agreement, this Section 26 shall prevail. 
  

	 	a.	The Bank’s board of directors may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, but any termination by the Bank, other than Termination for Cause, shall not prejudice
Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after Termination for Cause as defined in Section 11(d) hereinabove.

  

	 	b.	If Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or
8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(3) or (g)(1); the Bank’s obligations under this contract shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice
are dismissed, the Bank may in its discretion: i. pay Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while their contract obligations were suspended; and ii. reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended.

  

	 	c.	If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the Bank under this contract shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected.

  

	 	d.	If the Bank is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §1813(x)(1) all obligations of the Bank under this contract shall
terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties. 

  

	 	e.	All obligations under this contract shall be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of the contract is necessary for the continued operation of the Bank:
(i) by the Director of the OTS (or his designee), at the time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12
U.S.C. §1823(c); or (ii) by the Director of the OTS (or his designee) at the time the Director (or his designee) approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to the operations of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the
Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action. 

  

	 	f.	Any payments made to employees pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with 12 U.S.C. §1828(k) and FDIC regulation 12
C.F.R. Part 359, Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments. 

  

					
		 	13	  	

 27. Section 409A of the Code. 
  

	 	a.	This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and specifically, with the “short-term deferral exception” under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and the “separation pay exception” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), and shall in all respects be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. If any
payment or benefit hereunder cannot be provided or made at the time specified herein without incurring sanctions on Executive under Section 409A of the Code, then such payment or benefit shall be provided in full at the earliest time thereafter
when such sanctions will not be imposed. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, all payments to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of
such term under Section 409A of the Code), each payment made under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment, the right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement (if any) is to be treated as a right to a series of
separate payments, and if a payment is not made by the designated payment date under this Agreement, the payment shall be made by December 31 of the calendar year in which the designated date occurs. To the extent that any payment provided for
hereunder would be subject to additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, or would cause the administration of this Agreement to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be deemed null and void
to the extent permitted by applicable law, and any such amount shall be payable in accordance with b. below. In no event shall Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment. 

  

	 	b.	If when separation from service occurs Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and if the cash severance payment under
Section 11f. ii of this Agreement or 12b. of this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and, finally, if an exemption from the six-month delay requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of
the Code is not available (i.e., the “short-term deferral exception” under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) or the “separation pay exception” under Treasury Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)), the Bank or the
Company will make the maximum severance payment possible in order to comply with an exception from the six month requirement and make any remaining severance payment under Section 11f. ii. or 12b. of this Agreement to Executive in a single lump
sum without interest on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six (6) months after the date on which Executive separates from service. 

  

	 	c.	 If (x) under the terms of the applicable policy or policies for the insurance or other benefits specified in Section 11f.ii. or 12b. of this Agreement it
is not possible to continue coverage for Executive and his dependents, or (y) when a 

  

					
		 	14	  	

	 	 
separation from service occurs Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and if any of the continued
insurance coverage or other benefits specified in Section 11f.ii. or 12b. of this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and, finally, if an exemption from the six-month delay requirement of
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code is not available for that particular insurance or other benefit, the Bank or the Company shall pay to Executive in a single lump sum an amount in cash equal to the present value of the Bank’s projected
cost to maintain that particular insurance benefit (and associated income tax gross-up benefit, if applicable) had Executive’s employment not terminated, assuming continued coverage for 36 months. The lump-sum payment shall be made thirty
(30) days after employment termination or, if Section 27b. of this Agreement applies, on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six (6) months after the date on which Executive separates from service.

  

	 	d.	References in this Agreement to Section 409A of the Code include rules, regulations, and guidance of general application issued by the Department of the Treasury under Internal
Revenue Section 409A of the Code.
