CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into effective as of the 25th day of August, 2021 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. (“SFBC”), a Maryland corporation, Sound Community Bank (the “Bank”, and together with SFBC, the “Company”), a Washington state-chartered commercial bank, and Wes Ochs (“Executive”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, SFBC owns 100% of the outstanding stock of the Bank;

WHEREAS, Executive is Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Strategy Officer of SFBC and Bank, and as such is a key executive officer whose continued dedication, availability, advice and counsel to the Company is deemed important to the Boards of Directors of SFBC and the Bank and to their respective stockholders;
WHEREAS, the Company wish to retain the services of Executive free from any distractions or conflicts that could arise as a result of a Change in Control (as defined herein) of SFBC or the Bank.

NOW, THEREFORE, to assure the Company of Executive’s continued dedication free of any distractions resulting from a Change in  Control, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy which each party hereby acknowledges, SFBC, the Bank and Executive hereby agree as follows:

1.  TERM OF AGREEMENT: This Agreement shall remain in effect until cancelled by either party hereto, upon not less than 12 months prior written notice to the other party.

2.  AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT:  Executive’s employment is at-will, which means that SFBC or the Bank may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, with or without advance notice, and with or without Cause (as defined herein). Similarly, Executive may resign his employment at any time, with or without advance notice, and with or without reason.  Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation following Executive’s last day of employment with SFBC and the Bank, except as expressly provided for by this Agreement and/or applicable law.

3.  CHANGE IN CONTROL:  In the event there is an Involuntary Termination (as defined herein) of Executive’s employment by SFBC or the Bank, concurrently with or within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, then SFBC shall:

									
	

	(a)	Pay to Executive a lump sum cash amount, upon the later of the date of such Change in Control or the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment with SFBC and/or the Bank, equal to twenty-four (24) months of Executive’s then current monthly base salary; and

									
		(b)	Maintain and provide for a period ending at the earlier of (i) eighteen (18) months after the effective date of Executive’s termination (“Executive’s Termination Date”) or (ii) the date of Executive’s full time employment by another employer that provides substantially similar benefits, at no premium cost to Executive, the same group health benefits and other group insurance and group retirement benefits as Executive would have received if Executive had continued to be employed by SFBC and/or the Bank, to the extent that SFBC and/or the Bank can do so under the terms of applicable plans as are maintained by SFBC and/or the Bank for the benefit of its executive officers from time to time; and

	 	(c)	In the event that the continued participation of Executive in any group insurance plan as provided in Section 3(b) would trigger the payment of an excise tax under Section 4980D of the Code, or during the period set forth in Section 3(b) any such group insurance plan is discontinued, then SFBC and/or the Bank shall at their election either (i) arrange to provide Executive with alternative benefits substantially similar to those which Executive was entitled to receive under such group insurance plans immediately prior to Executive’s Termination Date, provided that the alternative benefits do not trigger the payment of an excise tax under Section 4980D of the Code, or (ii) pay to Executive within 20 business days following Executive’s Termination Date (or within 20 business days following the discontinuation of the benefits if later) a lump sum cash amount equal to the projected cost to SFBC and the Bank of providing continued coverage to Executive, with the projected cost to be based on the costs being incurred immediately prior to Executive’s Termination Date (or the discontinuation of the benefits if later), as increased by 10% each year; and

2

									
	 	(d)	(i) Any insurance premiums payable by SFBC and/or the Bank or any successor pursuant to Sections 3(b) or 3(c) shall be payable at such times and in such amounts as if Executive was still an employee of SFBC and/or the Bank, subject to any increases in such amounts imposed by the insurance company or COBRA, with SFBC and/or the Bank paying any employee portion of the premiums that Executive would have been required to pay if he was still an employee of SFBC or the Bank, and (ii) the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by SFBC and/or the Bank in any taxable year shall not affect the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by SFBC and/or the Bank in any other taxable year.

		(e)	Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, if either (i) the  time period for making any cash payment under Section 3(c) commences in one calendar year and ends in the succeeding calendar year or (ii) in the event any payment under this Section 3 is made contingent upon the execution of a general release and the time period that Executive has to consider the terms of such general release (including any revocation period under such release) commences in one calendar year and ends in the succeeding calendar year, then the payment shall not be paid until the succeeding calendar year.

4.  LIMITATION OF BENEFITS: It is the intention of the parties that no payment be made or benefit provided to Executive that would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (as defined herein), and any regulations thereunder, thereby resulting in a loss of an income tax deduction by the Company or the imposition of an excise tax on Executive under Section 4999 of the Code. If the independent accountants serving as auditors for SFBC immediately prior to the date of a Change in Control determine that some or all of the payments or benefits scheduled under this Agreement, when combined with any other payments or benefits provided to Executive on a Change in Control by SFBC, the Bank and any affiliate of SFBC or the Bank required to be aggregated with SFBC or the Bank under Section 280G of the Code, would constitute nondeductible excess parachute payments by SFBC under Section 280G of the Code, then the payments or benefits scheduled under this Agreement will be reduced to one dollar less than the maximum amount which may be paid or provided without causing any such payments or benefits scheduled under this Agreement or otherwise provided on a Change in Control to be nondeductible. The determination made as to the reduction of benefits or payments required hereunder by the independent accountants shall be binding on the parties.   If the payments and benefits under Section 3 are required to be reduced, the cash severance shall be reduced first, followed by a reduction in the fringe benefits.

5.  LITIGATION -OBLIGATIONS - SUCCESSORS:

(a)  If litigation shall be brought or arbitration commenced to challenge, enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement, and such litigation or arbitration does not end with judgment in favor of SFBC, SFBC hereby agrees to indemnify Executive for his reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements incurred in such litigation or arbitration.

3

(b)  SFBC’s obligation to pay Executive the compensation and benefits and to make the arrangements provided herein shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which SFBC may have against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by SFBC hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand.  Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise.

(c)  SFBC will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of SFBC, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in its entirety. Failure of SFBC to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Executive to the compensation described in Section 3.  As used in this Agreement, “SFBC” shall mean Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or in compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington.

Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction.

12.  FUTURE CONDUCT AND OBLIGATIONS:

(a)  Executive, for himself and for his family (i.e., parents, siblings and children), heirs, dependents, assigns, agents, executors, administrators, trustees and legal representatives agrees that he will not (and will use his or her best efforts to cause such affiliates to not) at any time engage in any form of conduct, or make any statements or representations, that disparage or otherwise impair the reputation, goodwill, or commercial interests of SFBC, any affiliates or any of their agents, officers, directors, employees and/or stockholders.

(b)  Executive agrees to reasonably assist and cooperate with SFBC or the Bank (and their outside counsel) in connection with the defense or prosecution of any claim that may be made or threatened against or by SFBC or any affiliate, or in connection with any ongoing or future investigation or dispute or claim of any kind involving SFBC or any affiliate, including any proceeding before any arbitral, administrative, judicial, legislative, or other body or agency, including preparing for and testifying in any proceeding to the extent such claims, investigations or proceedings relate to services performed by Executive, pertinent knowledge possessed by Executive, or any act or omission by Executive.

13.  COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE: Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any payments to be made in accordance with this Agreement shall not be made prior to the date that is 185 calendar days from the date of termination of employment of Executive if it is determined by SFBC in good faith that such payments are subject to the limitations set forth in Section 409A of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, and payments made in advance of such date would result in the requirement that Executive pay additional interest and taxes in accordance with Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

     14.  DEFINITIONS:

The opportunity of Executive to be heard before the Board shall not affect the right of Executive to mediation and arbitration as set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement.

(b)  Change in Control shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any “person” or “group” (as defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)), other than SFBC, any subsidiary of SFBC or their employee benefit plans, directly or indirectly, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3, under the Exchange Act) of securities of SFBC with respect to which 30% or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of SFBC’s Board of Directors; (ii) as a result of, or in connection with, any cash tender offer, merger or other business combination, sale of assets or contested election(s), or combination of the foregoing, the individuals who were members of SFBC’s Board of Directors on the Effective Date (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the 
7

directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election by SFBC’s stockholders was approved by the nominating committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board; (iii) a tender offer or exchange offer for 30% or more of the total outstanding shares of common stock of SFBC is completed (other than such an offer by the SFBC); or (iv) the stockholders of SFBC approve an agreement providing either for a transaction in which SFBC will cease to be an independent publicly owned corporation or for a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of SFBC, and the transaction is thereafter consummated.

In addition, prior to any termination of employment by Executive pursuant to clauses (1) through (5) of the preceding sentence, Executive must first provide written notice to the Bank within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the condition, describing the existence of such condition, and the Bank shall thereafter have the right to remedy the condition within thirty (30) days of the date the Bank received the written notice from Executive.  If the Bank remedies the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then no Involuntary Termination shall be deemed to occur with respect to such condition.  If the Bank does not remedy the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then Executive may deliver a notice of Involuntary Termination at any time within sixty (60) days following the expiration of such cure period. The term “Involuntary Termination” does not include termination for Cause or termination of employment due to retirement, death, disability or suspension or temporary or permanent prohibition from participation in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs under Section 8 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”).
