SECTION IV 
  
 EXECUTIVE’S RIGHT TO ASSETS 
  
 The rights of the Executive, any Beneficiary of the Executive, or any other person claiming through the Executive under this Agreement, shall be solely
those of an unsecured general creditor of the Bank. The Executive, the Beneficiary of the Executive, or any other person claiming through the Executive, shall only have the right to receive from the Bank those payments as specified under this
Agreement. The Executive agrees that he, his Beneficiary, or any other person claiming through him shall have no rights or interests whatsoever in any asset of the Bank, including any insurance policies or contracts which the Bank may possess or
obtain to informally fund this Agreement. Any asset used or acquired by the Bank in connection with the liabilities it has assumed under this Agreement, except as expressly provided, shall not be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of
the Executive or his Beneficiaries, nor shall it be considered security for the performance of the obligations of the Bank. It shall be, and remain, a general, unpledged, and unrestricted asset of the Bank. 
  
 SECTION V 
  
 RESTRICTIONS UPON FUNDING 
  
 The Bank shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any fund or money with which to pay its obligations under
this Agreement. The Executive, his Beneficiaries or any successor in interest to him shall be and remain simply a general creditor of the Bank in the same manner as any other creditor having a general claim for matured and unpaid compensation. The
Bank reserves the absolute right, at its sole discretion, to either fund the obligations undertaken by this Agreement or to refrain from funding the same and to determine the extent, nature, and method of such informal funding. Should the Bank elect
to fund this Agreement, in whole or in part, through the purchase of life insurance, disability policies or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such funding at any time, in whole or in part. At no
time shall Executive be deemed to have any lien or right, title or interest in or to any 
  
  

 7 

 specific funding investment or to any assets of the Bank. If the Bank elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or
annuity policy upon the life of the Executive, then Executive shall assist the Bank by freely submitting to a physical examination and supplying such additional information necessary to obtain such insurance or annuities. 
  
 SECTION VI 
  
 ALIENABILITY AND ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITION 
  
 Neither the Executive nor any Beneficiary under this Agreement shall have any
power or right to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate, mortgage, commute, modify or otherwise encumber in advance any of the benefits payable hereunder, nor shall any of said benefits be subject to seizure for the payment of any debts,
judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Executive or his Beneficiary, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise. In the event the Executive or any Beneficiary creates an assignment,
commutation, hypothecation, transfer or disposal of the benefits hereunder, the Bank’s liabilities shall forthwith cease and terminate. 
  
 SECTION VII 
  
 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR CAUSE 
  
 Should the Executive be terminated for Cause, his benefits under this Agreement shall be forfeited and this Agreement shall become null and void.

  
 SECTION VIII 
  
 ACT PROVISIONS 
  

	 	8.1	Named Fiduciary and Administrator. The Bank shall be the Named Fiduciary and Administrator of this Agreement. As Administrator, the Bank shall be responsible for the
management, control and administration of the Agreement as established herein. The Administrator may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operational responsibilities of the Agreement, including the employment of advisors and the
delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals. 

  

	 	8.2	Claims Procedure and Arbitration. In the event that benefits under this Agreement are not paid to the Executive (or to his Beneficiary, in the case of the Executive’s
death) and such claimants feel they are entitled to receive such benefits, then a written claim must be made to the Administrator named above within thirty (30) days from the date payments are refused. The Administrator and its Board of Directors
shall review the written claim and, if the claim is denied, in whole or in part, they shall provide in writing within sixty (60) days of 

  

 8 

 receipt of such claim their specific reasons for such denial, reference to the provisions of this
Agreement upon which the denial is based and any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim. Such written notice shall further indicate the additional steps to be taken by claimants if a further review of the claim denial is
desired. If necessary, the Administrator and its Board of Directors may extend the period of reply for an additional thirty (30) days for reasonable cause. 
  
 If claimants desire a second review, they shall notify the Administrator in writing within thirty (30) days of the first claim denial. Claimants may
review the Agreement or any documents relating thereto and submit any issues, in writing, and comments they may feel appropriate. The Administrator shall then review the second claim and provide a written decision within sixty (60) days of receipt
of such claim. This decision shall likewise state the specific reasons for the decision and shall include reference to specific provisions of the Agreement upon which the decision is based. If special circumstances require the sixty (60) day time
period be extended, the Administrator will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for review. 
  
 If claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon completed
performance of the Agreement or the meaning and effect of the terms and conditions thereof, then claimants may submit the dispute to mediation, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (or a mediator selected by the
parties) in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Mediation Rules. If mediation is not successful in resolving the dispute, it shall be settled by arbitration administered by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the
award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If it is finally determined that the Executive (or his Beneficiary) is entitled to the benefits set forth under this Agreement, then all amounts that the
Executive (or his Beneficiary) would have received up to the time of such final determination shall be paid to the Executive (or his Beneficiary) with interest (calculated using the Interest Factor) within thirty (30) days after such final
determination. 
  
 Where a dispute arises as to the Bank’s
discharge of the Executive for Cause, such dispute shall likewise be submitted to arbitration as above described and the parties hereto agree to be bound by the decision thereunder. 
  
 All reasonable legal fees paid or incurred by the Executive pursuant to any dispute or questions of interpretation relating
to this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed by the Bank, provided that the dispute or interpretation has been settled or resolved in the Executive’s favor.

 SECTION IX 
  

MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	 	9.1	No Effect on Employment Rights. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon the Executive the right to be retained in the service of the Bank nor limit the right of the Bank
to discharge or otherwise deal with the Executive without regard to the existence of this Agreement. 

  

	 	9.2	Disclosure. The Executive shall receive a copy of his Agreement and the Administrator will make available, upon request, a copy of any rules and regulations that govern this
Agreement. 

  

	 	9.3	Governing Law. The Agreement is established under, and will be construed according to, the laws of the State of New York, to the extent that such laws are not preempted by
the Act and valid regulations published thereunder. 

  

	 	9.4	Severability. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, or portion thereof, are held to be inoperative or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction,
then: (1) insofar as is reasonable, effect will be given to the intent manifested in the provisions held invalid or inoperative, and (2) the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby.

  

	 	9.5	Incapacity of Recipient. In the event the Executive is declared incompetent and a conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or of his estate is
appointed, any benefits under the Agreement to which such Executive is entitled shall be paid to such conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person or his Estate. Except as provided above in this paragraph, when the
Bank’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that an Executive is unable to manage his financial affairs, the Board may direct the Bank to make distributions to any person for the benefit of such Executive.

  

	 	9.6	Unclaimed Benefit. The Executive shall keep the Bank informed of his current address and the current address of his Beneficiaries. The Bank shall not be obligated to search
for the whereabouts of any person. If the location of the Executive is not made known to the Bank within three years after the date on which any payment of the Executive’s Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit may be made, payment may be made
as though the Executive had died at the end of the three-year period. If, within one additional year after such three-year period has elapsed, or, within three years after the actual death of the Executive, the Bank is unable to locate any
Beneficiary of the Executive, then the Bank may fully discharge its obligation by payment made in accordance with the New York Abandoned Property Law. 

  
  

 10 

	 	9.7	Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of the Agreement, neither the Bank, nor any individual acting as an employee or agent of the Bank or
as a member of the Board of Directors shall be liable to the Executive, former Executive, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with the Agreement. 

  

	 	9.8	Gender. Whenever, in this Agreement, words are used in the masculine or neuter gender, they shall be read and construed as in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender,
whenever they should so apply. 

  

	 	9.9	Affect on Other Corporate Benefit Agreements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the right of the Executive to participate in, or be covered by, any qualified
or non-qualified pension, profit sharing, group, bonus or other supplemental compensation or fringe benefit agreement constituting a part of the Bank’s existing or future compensation structure. 

  

	 	9.10	Headings. Headings and sub-headings in this Agreement are inserted for reference and convenience only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

  

	 	9.11	Tax Withholding. The Bank may withhold from any benefit payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city, or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or
governmental regulation then in effect.

 In the event the Executive’s termination follows a Change in Control or
other material change in the Bank’s structure or business activities, the Executive shall be entitled to his Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, whether or not he enters into an arrangement that is deemed to be competitive with the Bank.
