Exhibit 10.9 -- 2004 Incentive Compensation Plan

 Exhibit 10.9 
  
 GEORGETOWN SAVINGS BANK 
 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN 
  
 January, 2004 
  
 Purpose of the Plan 
  
 The purpose of the Georgetown Savings Bank’s incentive compensation plan
(“Plan”) is designed to provide incentives and awards to employees in order to support organizational objectives and financial goals as defined in the Strategic Plan. 
  
 It strives to demonstrate that both teamwork and individual effort directed toward common goals will result in progressive financial rewards
for all. It is further intended to attract, motivate and retain high quality personnel and support continued growth and profitability of the Bank. 
  
 It is important to note that participation and payout in the Plan is dependent upon one’s level within the organization and his(her) resultant ability to have
greater or lesser influence on the Bank’s strategic outcome. 
  
 General
Description of the Plan 
  
 The Plan protects the long-term viability of the
Bank by requiring reasonable minimum earnings before any performance incentive award can be made, and it provides a moving benchmark measure of profitability and payout in order to recognize the potential for an ever increasing ability of employees
to influence profitability. 
  
 It is important to note that this Plan is
established to augment regular salary and benefits programs already in existence. This incentive plan is not meant to be a substitute for salary increases but supplemental to salary and, as stated earlier, a reward for exceptional performance.

  
 Administration of the Plan 
  
 Throughout this Plan, reference to the actions and authority of the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Trustees (the “Committee”) also presumes that the Committee will recommend, and the Board of Trustees will approve or disapprove, final disposition of all matters pertaining to administration of the Plan. The Committee,
with Board approval, has the responsibility to interpret, administer and amend the Plan as necessary. The recommendations of the Committee as approved by the Board, affecting the construction, interpretation and administration of the Plan, shall be
final and binding on all parties. 
  

 Before the beginning of each Plan year, the Committee may review and revise this Plan. However, it is expected that the
Plan will require modification only when significant changes in organization, goals, personnel or performance occur. The Chief Executive Officer will work with the Committee on any proposed changes to the Plan. 
  
 Computation of incentive awards will be made and reported to the Trustees by the
Compensation Committee. Maintenance of participant payment shall be the responsibility of the CFO. Such computations and records may be audited annually by the independent auditors or a consultant of the Bank prior to submission to the Committee and
the Board for review and approval. Finally, the Committee, with Board approval, may exclude extraordinary occurrences, which could affect the incentive awards, either positively or negatively, but are of their nature outside the Significant
influence of Plan participants. Extraordinary occurrences impacting on Bank earnings may be excluded when calculating the Pool to ensure that the best interests of the Bank are protected and are not brought into conflict with the best interests of
Plan participants. 
  
 Plan Participants 
  
 Full-time and part-time employees employed by the Bank on or before September 30th of the current Plan Year are eligible. Eligible participants who have been employed by the Bank for less than one year will
receive their incentive award on a prorated basis.

individual cases as issues are identified.

 Exhibit 10.10 
  
 FORM OF 
  
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
  
 This Agreement is made effective as of
                         , 2004 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Georgetown Savings Bank, a
federally chartered savings Bank with its principal office in Georgetown, Massachusetts (the “Bank”), and
                                 (“Executive”). References to the
“Company” mean Georgetown Bancorp, Inc., a federal corporation that own 100% of the common stock of the Bank. The Company shall be a signatory to this Agreement for the sole purpose of guaranteeing the Bank’s performance hereunder.
The Board of Directors of the Bank shall be the authority for the enforcement of this Agreement. 
  
 WHEREAS, Executive has served as an officer of the Bank since              and
shall serve as an officer of the Company; and 
  
 WHEREAS,
the Bank wishes to assure itself of the services of Executive as an officer of the Bank for the period provided in this Agreement; and 
  
 WHEREAS, in order to induce Executive to remain in the employ of the Bank and to provide further incentive to achieve the financial and performance
objectives of the Bank and the Company, the parties desire to specify the severance benefits which shall be due Executive in the event that his employment with the Bank is terminated under specified circumstances. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained, and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1.	POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES. 

  
 During the period of his employment hereunder, Executive agrees to serve as
                     of the Bank (the “Executive Position”). During said period, Executive also agrees to serve, if elected, as an
officer and director of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank. Failure to reelect Executive to Executive Position without the consent of Executive during the term of this Agreement (except for any termination for Cause, as defined herein) shall
constitute a breach of this Agreement. 
  

	2.	TERM AND DUTIES. 

  
 (a) The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall begin as of the date first above written and shall continue for a period of
thirty-six (36) full calendar months thereafter. Commencing on the first anniversary date of this Agreement, and continuing at each anniversary date thereafter, the Agreement shall renew for an additional year such that the remaining term shall be
thirty-six (36) full calendar months; provided, however, if written notice of nonrenewal is provided to Executive at least ten (10) days and not more than thirty (30) days prior to any anniversary date, the employment of Executive hereunder shall
cease at the end of thirty-six (36) months following such anniversary date. On an annual basis prior to the deadline for the notice period referenced above, the board of directors of the Bank (“Board”) shall 

  

 
conduct a performance review of Executive for purposes of determining whether to provide notice of nonrenewal. 
  
 (b) During the period of his employment hereunder, except for periods of
absence occasioned by illness, reasonable vacation periods, and reasonable leaves of absence approved by the board of directors of the Bank (“Board”), Executive shall devote substantially all his business time, attention, skill, and
efforts to the faithful performance of his duties hereunder including activities and services related to the organization, operation and management of the Bank; provided, however, that, with the approval of the Board of the Bank, as evidenced by a
resolution of such Board, from time to time, Executive may serve, or continue to serve, on the boards of directors of, and hold any other offices or positions in, business companies or business organizations, which, in such Board’s judgment,
will not present any conflict of interest with the Bank, or materially affect the performance of Executive’s duties pursuant to this Agreement (it being understood that membership in and service on boards or committees of social, religious,
charitable or similar organizations does not require Board approval pursuant to this Section 2(b)). For purposes of this Section 2(b), Board approval shall be deemed provided as to service with any such business companies or organizations that
Executive was serving as of the date of this Agreement as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. 
  

	3.	COMPENSATION, BENEFITS AND REIMBURSEMENT. 

  
 (a) The compensation specified under this Agreement shall constitute the salary and benefits paid for the duties described in Section 2(b). The Bank shall
pay Executive as compensation a salary of not less than $                     per year (“Base Salary”). Such Base Salary shall be
payable biweekly, or with such other frequency as officers and employees are generally paid. During the period of this Agreement, Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually. Such review may be conducted by a Committee
designated by the Board. In addition to the Base Salary provided in this Section 3(a), the Bank shall provide Executive all such other benefits as are provided to permanent full-time employees of the Bank. Base Salary shall include any amounts of
compensation deferred by Executive under qualified and nonqualified plans maintained by the Bank. 
  
 (b) The Bank will provide Executive with employee benefit plans, arrangements and perquisites substantially equivalent to those in which Executive was
participating or otherwise deriving benefit from immediately prior to the beginning of the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Subsection (b), Executive will be entitled to participate in or
receive benefits under any employee benefit plans including, but not limited to, retirement plans, supplemental retirement plans, pension plans, profit-sharing plans, health-and-accident insurance plans, medical coverage or any other employee
benefit plan or arrangement made available by the Bank or the Company in the future to its senior executives and key management employees, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans and
arrangements. Executive will be entitled to incentive compensation and bonuses as provided in any plan of the Bank or the Company in which Executive is eligible to participate. Nothing paid to Executive under any such plan or arrangement will be
deemed to be in lieu of other compensation to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement. 
  

 2 

 (c) In addition to the Base Salary provided for by paragraph (a) of this Section 3, the Bank or the
Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable travel and other reasonable expenses incurred by Executive performing his obligations under this Agreement and may provide such additional compensation in such form and such amounts as the
Board may from time to time determine. The Bank shall reimburse Executive for his ordinary and necessary business expenses, including, without limitation, fees for memberships in such clubs and organizations as Executive and the Board shall mutually
agree are necessary and appropriate for business purposes, and travel and entertainment expenses, incurred in connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement, upon presentation to the Bank of an itemized account of such expenses
in such form as the Bank may reasonably require. 
  

	4.	PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON AN EVENT OF TERMINATION.

in case of a continuing breach, four calendar months) after the event giving rise to said right to elect, which termination by Executive shall be an Event of Termination. No payments or benefits shall be due to Executive under this Agreement upon
the termination of Executive’s employment except as provided in Section 4. 
  
 (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Bank shall pay Executive, or, as severance pay or liquidated damages, or both, a cash amount equal to the greater of three (3) times the sum of the highest
annual rate of Base Salary paid to Executive at any time under the Agreement. 
  
 (c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Bank will provide at the Bank’s expense, life, medical and dental coverage substantially comparable, as reasonably or customarily available, to the coverage

alternative, the Company shall pay to Executive a cash amount equal to 

  

 3 

 
Executive’s cost of obtaining such benefits on his own, adjusted for any federal or state income taxes Executive has to pay on the cash amount.

  
 (d) At the option of the Bank, the payments under Section 4(b)
above shall be divided into three equal payments and paid annually except that such payments and continued coverage under Section 4(c) above shall cease pro rata upon the Executive’s re-employment in a position substantially similar.

  
 (e) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, any
non-vested stock options granted to Executive under any stock option plan or restricted stock plan of the Bank will fully vest. 
  

	5.	TERMINATION FOR DISABILITY OR DEATH. 

  
 a. Termination of Executive’s employment based on “Disability” shall mean termination because of any physical or mental impairment which
qualifies Executive for disability benefits under the applicable long-term disability plan maintained by the Employers or any subsidiary or, if no such plan applies, which would qualify Executive for disability benefits under the Federal Social
Security System. The provisions of paragraph 6(b) and (c) shall apply upon the termination Executive’s employment for Disability. 
  
 b. The Bank will pay Executive, as disability pay, a bi-weekly payment equal to the seventy-five percent (75%) of Executive’s bi-weekly rate of Base

Executive’s employment by another employer; (iii) Executive attains the age of 65; or (iv) Executive’s death. The disability pay shall be reduced by the amount, if any, paid to Executive under any plan of the Bank or any other source of
compensation or benefits. 
  
 The Bank will cause to be continued
life, medical and dental coverage substantially comparable, as reasonable or customarily available, to the coverage maintained by the Bank for Executive prior to his termination for Disability, except to the extent such coverage may be changed in
its application to all Bank employees or not available on an individual basis to an employee terminated for Disability. This coverage shall cease upon the earlier of (i) the date Executive returns to the full-time employment of the Bank in the same
capacity as he was employed prior to his termination for Disability and pursuant to an employment agreement between Executive and the Bank; (ii) Executive’s full-time employment by another employer; (iii) Executive attaining the age of 65; or

 4 

	7.	TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. 

  
 The term “Termination for Cause” shall mean termination because of Executive’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, any
breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order, or material
breach of any provision of this Agreement. Executive’s employment shall not be terminated in accordance with this paragraph for any act or action or failure to act which is undertaken or omitted in accordance with a resolution of the Board or
upon advice of the Bank’s counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been Terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative
vote of not less than a majority of the members of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for him, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding
that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of conduct justifying Termination for Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for any
period after Termination for Cause. Any non-vested stock options granted to Executive under any stock option plan of the Bank, the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, shall become null and void effective upon Executive’s receipt of
Notice of Termination for Cause pursuant to Section 8 hereof, and shall not be exercisable by Executive at any time subsequent to such Termination for Cause (unless it is determined in arbitration that grounds for Termination for Cause did not
exist, in which event all terms of the options as of the date of termination shall apply, and any time periods for exercising such options shall commence from the date of resolution in arbitration). 
  

	8.	NOTICE OF TERMINATION 

  
 (a) Any purported termination by the Bank for Cause shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, a
“Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated. If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination for Cause is given, Executive notifies the Bank that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the parties
shall promptly proceed to arbitration. Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, the Bank may discontinue to pay Executive compensation until the dispute is finally resolved in accordance with this Agreement. If it is determined that
Executive is entitled to compensation and benefits under Section 4 of this Agreement, the payment of such compensation and benefits by the Bank shall commence immediately following the date of resolution by arbitration, with interest due Executive
on the cash amount that would have been paid pending arbitration (at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time). 
  
 (b) Any other purported termination by the Bank or by Executive shall be communicated by a Notice of Termination to the other party. For purposes of this
Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a written notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of employment under the provision so indicated. “Date of Termination” shall mean the date of the Notice of Termination. If, within thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is given, the party receiving such Notice of
Termination notifies the 

  

 5 

 
other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the parties shall promptly proceed to arbitration as provided in Section 7 of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the pendency of any such dispute, the Bank shall continue to pay Executive his Base Salary, and other compensation and benefits in effect when the notice giving rise to the dispute was given (except as to termination of Executive for
Cause). In the event of the voluntary termination by Executive of his employment, which is disputed by the Bank, and if it is determined in arbitration that Executive is not entitled to termination benefits pursuant to this Agreement, he shall
return all cash payments made to him pending resolution by arbitration, with interest thereon at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time if it is determined in arbitration that Executive’s voluntary termination
of employment was not taken in good faith and not in the reasonable belief that grounds existed for his voluntary termination. 
  

	9.	NON-COMPETITION AND POST-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS. 

  
 (a) All payments and benefits to Executive under this Agreement shall be subject to Executive’s compliance with paragraph (b), (c) and (d) of this
Section 10.

furnish such information and assistance to the Bank as may reasonably be required by the Bank in connection with any litigation in which it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is, or may become, a party. 
  
 (c) Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the knowledge of the business
activities and plans for business activities of the Employers and affiliates thereof, as it may exist from time to time, is a valuable, special and unique asset of the business of the Employers. Executive will not, during or after the term of his
employment, disclose any knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities (all of which is considered to be a trade secret) of the Employers or affiliates thereof to any person, firm, corporation, or other entity for any
reason or purpose whatsoever (except for such disclosure as may be required to be provided to the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), or other bank regulatory agency with
jurisdiction over the Bank or Executive). In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of the provisions of this Section 10, the Employers will be entitled to a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and permanent
injunction restraining Executive from disclosing, in whole or in part, the knowledge of the past, present, planned or considered business activities of the Employers or affiliates thereof, or from rendering any services to any person, firm,
corporation, other entity to whom such knowledge, in whole or in part, has been disclosed or is threatened to be disclosed. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Employers from pursuing any other remedies available to the Employers for
such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive. 
  
 (d) Upon any termination of Executive’s employment, Executive agrees not to compete with the Employers for a period of one (1) year following such termination in any city, town or county in an area defined by the
Banks lending area. Executive agrees that during such period and within said area, Executive shall not work for or advise, consult or otherwise serve with, directly or indirectly, any entity whose business materially competes with the depository,
lending or other business activities of the Bank. The parties hereto, recognizing that irreparable injury will result to the Bank, its business and property in the event of Executive’s breach of this Section 10(d) agree that in the event of any
such breach by Executive, the Bank will be entitled, 

  

 6 

 
in addition to any other remedies and damages available, to an a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and permanent injunction to restrain the
violation hereof by Executive, Executive’s partners, agents, servants, employers, employees and all persons acting for or with Executive. Executive represents and admits that Executive’s experience and capabilities are such that Executive
can obtain employment in a business engaged in other lines and/or of a different nature than the Bank, and that the enforcement of a remedy by way of injunction will not prevent Executive from earning a livelihood. Nothing herein will be construed
as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive. 
  

	10.	EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFITS PLANS. 

  
 This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior employment agreement between the Bank or any

of the Bank’s affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) (12 USC §1818(e)(3)) or 8(g)(1) (12 USC §1818(g)(1)) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the Bank’s obligations under this contract shall be suspended as of the
