1.           Exercise of Warrant.

 

1.1.           Number of Shares Issuable upon Exercise.  From and after the Issue Date through and including the Expiration Date, the Holder hereof shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant in whole in accordance with the terms of subsection 1.2 or upon exercise of this Warrant in part in accordance with subsection 1.3, shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.

 

1.2.           Full Exercise.  This Warrant may be exercised in full by the Holder hereof by delivery of an original or facsimile copy of the form of subscription attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Subscription Form”) duly executed by such Holder and delivery within two days thereafter of payment, in cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, in the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is then exercisable by the Purchase Price then in effect.  The original Warrant is not required to be surrendered to the Company until it has been fully exercised.

 

1.3.           Partial Exercise.  This Warrant may be exercised in part (but not for a fractional share) by delivery of a Subscription Form in the manner and at the place provided in subsection 1.2 except that the amount payable by the Holder on such partial exercise shall be the amount obtained by multiplying (a) the number of whole shares of Common Stock designated by the Holder in the Subscription Form by (b) the Purchase Price then in effect.  On any such partial exercise provided the Holder has surrendered the original Warrant, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder hereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder hereof or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, the whole number of shares of Common Stock for which such Warrant may still be exercised for the balance of.

 

1.4.           Fair Market Value. Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of a particular date (the "Determination Date") shall mean:

 

(a)           If the Company's Common Stock is traded on an exchange or is quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, LLC, then the average of the closing or last sale prices, respectively, reported for the ten trading days immediately preceding the Determination Date;

 

(b)           If the Company's Common Stock is not traded on an exchange or on the NASDAQ Global Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, the NASDAQ Capital Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, LLC, but is traded in the over-the-counter market, then the average of the closing bid and ask prices reported for the ten trading days immediately preceding the Determination Date;

 

(c)           Except as provided in clause (d) below and Section 3.1, if the Company's Common Stock is not publicly traded, then as the Holder and the Company agree, or in the absence of such an agreement, by arbitration in accordance with the rules then standing of the American Arbitration Association, before a single arbitrator to be chosen from a panel of persons qualified by education and training to pass on the matter to be decided; or

 

(d)           If the Determination Date is the date of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or any event deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up pursuant to the Company's charter, then all amounts to be payable per share to holders of the Common Stock pursuant to the charter in the event of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all other amounts to be payable per share in respect of the Common Stock in liquidation under the charter, assuming for the purposes of this clause (d) that all of the shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants are outstanding at the Determination Date.

1.5.           Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of the Warrant, upon the request of the Holder hereof acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such Holder any rights to which such Holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. If the Holder shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such Holder any such rights.

 

1.6.           Trustee for Warrant Holders. In the event that a bank or trust company shall have been appointed as trustee for the Holder of the Warrants pursuant to Subsection 3.2, such bank or trust company shall have all the powers and duties of a warrant agent (as hereinafter described) and shall accept, in its own name for the account of the Company or such successor person as may be entitled thereto, all amounts otherwise payable to the Company or such successor, as the case may be, on exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.

 

1.7           Delivery of Stock Certificates, etc. on Exercise. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which delivery of a Subscription Form shall have occurred and payment made for such shares as aforesaid. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”), the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder hereof, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share of Common Stock, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.  The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares after the Warrant Share Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Holder for late issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant the proportionate amount of $100 per business day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date for each $10,000 of Purchase Price of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercised which are not timely delivered.  The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.  Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Holder may revoke all or part of the relevant Warrant exercise by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the exercise of the relevant portion of this Warrant, except that the liquidated damages described above shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.

 

1.8           Buy-In.  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to a Holder the Warrant Shares as required pursuant to this Warrant, within seven (7) business days after the Warrant Share Delivery Date and the Holder or a broker on the Holder’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount by which (A) the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate Purchase Price of the Warrant Shares required to have been delivered together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).  For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of Purchase Price of Warrant Shares to have been received upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000, plus interest. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In.

2.           Cashless Exercise.

 

(a)           Payment upon exercise may be made at the option of the Holder either in (i) cash, wire transfer or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Purchase Price, (ii) by delivery of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with Section (b) below or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of Common Stock specified in such form (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.

 

(b)           Subject to the provisions herein to the contrary, if the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Purchase Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being cancelled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Subscription Form in which event the Company shall issue to the holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X=Y (A-B)

          A

   

	
  Where  

	
X=

	
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the holder

 

	
  

	
Y=

	
the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation)

 

	
  

	
A=

	
the average of the closing sale prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date, or Fair Market Value, whichever is less

 

	
  

	
B=

	
Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

 

(c)           The Holder may employ the cashless exercise feature described in Section (b) above at any time.

 

For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.

 

3.           Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc.

 

 

  

4

  

 

3.1. Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (A) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, (B) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, (D) the Company consummates a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with one or more persons or entities whereby such other persons or entities acquire more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by such other persons or entities making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons or entities making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (E) any "person" or "group" (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act) is or shall become the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of 50% of the aggregate Common Stock of the Company, or (F) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a "Fundamental Transaction"), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder, (a) upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the "Alternate Consideration") receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event or (b) if the Company is acquired in (1) a transaction where the consideration paid to the holders of the Common Stock consists solely of cash, (2) a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act, or (3) a transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Capital Market, cash equal to the Black-Scholes Value. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Purchase Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder's right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.1 and insuring that this Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. “Black-Scholes Value” shall be determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the VWAP of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of such request and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction.

 

3.2.           Dissolution.  In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrants after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 3 to a bank or trust company (a "Trustee") having its principal office in New York, NY, as trustee for the Holder of the Warrants.  Such property shall be delivered only upon payment of the Warrant exercise price.

 

  

5

  

 

3.3.           Continuation of Terms.  Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the Other Securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any Other Securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4.  In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transaction described in this Section 3, then only in such event will the Company's securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder of the Warrants be delivered to the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.

 

3.4           Share Issuance.  Until the Expiration Date, if the Company shall issue any Common Stock except for the Excepted Issuances (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), prior to the complete exercise of this Warrant for a consideration less than the Purchase Price that would be in effect at the time of such issue, then, and thereafter successively upon each such issue, the Purchase Price shall be reduced to such other lower price for then outstanding Warrants.  For purposes of this adjustment, the issuance of any security or debt instrument of the Company carrying the right to convert such security or debt instrument into Common Stock or of any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in an adjustment to the Purchase Price upon the issuance of the above-described security, debt instrument, warrant, right, or option if such issuance is at a price lower than the Purchase Price in effect upon such issuance and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the Purchase Price in effect upon such issuance.  The reduction of the Purchase Price described in this Section 3.4 is subject to the provisions of, and in addition to the other rights of the Holder described in, the Subscription Agreement.  The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 3.4 be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 3.4 be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

 

4.           Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock.  In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4 be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4 be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

5.           Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder of the Warrant and any Warrant Agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).

 

6.           Reservation of Stock, etc. Issuable on Exercise of Warrant; Financial Statements.   The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of the Warrants, all shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of the Warrant.  This Warrant entitles the Holder hereof to receive copies of all financial and other information distributed or required to be distributed to the holders of the Company's Common Stock.

 

7.           Assignment; Exchange of Warrant.  Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a "Transferor"). On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor's endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form") and together with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that the transfer of this Warrant will be in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a "Transferee"), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.

 

8.           Replacement of Warrant.  On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense, twice only, will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

 

9.           Registration Rights.  The Holder of this Warrant has been granted certain registration rights by the Company.  These registration rights are set forth in the Subscription Agreement.  The terms of the Subscription Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.

 

10.           Maximum Exercise.  The Holder shall not be entitled to exercise this Warrant on an exercise date, in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates on an exercise date, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this limitation is being made on an exercise date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date.  For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, the Holder shall not be limited to aggregate exercises which would result in the issuance of more than 4.99%.  The restriction described in this paragraph may be waived, in whole or in part, upon sixty-one (61) days prior notice from the Holder to the Company to increase such percentage to up to 9.99%, but not in excess of 9.99%.  The Holder may decide whether to convert a Convertible Note or exercise this Warrant to achieve an actual 4.99% or up to 9.99% ownership position as described above, but not in excess of 9.99%.

Exhibit 10.1

 

CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT

THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made on and as of the 20th day of April, 2011, by and between Community Partners Bancorp (“CPB”), a corporation organized under the laws of the state of New Jersey which serves as a bank holding company, with its principal office at 1250 Highway 35 South, Middletown, New Jersey 07748; Two River Community Bank (“TRCB” or “Employer”), a banking corporation organized under the laws of the state of New Jersey which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CPB, with its principal office at 1250 Highway 35 South, Middletown, New Jersey 07748; and Robert C. Werner (“Executive”), whose business address is 1250 Highway 35 South, Middletown, New Jersey 07748.

 

BACKGROUND

WHEREAS, Executive, as of the date of this Agreement, serves as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of TRCB; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of CPB and TRCB (the “Board”) believes that the retention of Executive as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of TRCB through and subsequent to the occurrence of a Change in Control event, as defined in this Agreement, is indispensable to CPB and TRCB; and

WHEREAS, CPB, TRCB and Executive wish to enter into this Agreement to conclusively establish the terms and conditions relative to Executive's retention through, and subsequent to, the occurrence of a Change in Control event.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, which the parties to this Agreement acknowledge to be legally sufficient, CPB, TRCB and Executive, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

	
  

	
1.

	
Definitions

	
  

	
a.

	
Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause”, with respect to the termination by Employer of Executive’s employment shall mean (i) the willful and continued failure by Executive to perform his duties for Employer under this Agreement after at least one warning in writing from the Board or its designee identifying specifically any such failure; (ii) willful misconduct of any type by Executive, including, but not limited to, the disclosure or improper use of confidential information which causes material injury to either or both of CPB or TRCB, as specified in a written notice to Executive from the Board or its designee; or (iii) the Executive’s conviction of a crime (other than a traffic violation), habitual drunkenness, drug abuse, or excessive absenteeism (other than for illness), after a warning (with respect to drunkenness or absenteeism only) in writing from the Board or its designee to refrain from such behavior.  No act or failure to act on the part of Executive shall be considered to have been willful for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 1a unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best interest of CPB or Employer.

 

  

1

  

 

	
  

	
b.

	
Change in Control.  “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

	
  

	
i.

	
CPB acquires actual knowledge that any person, as such term is used in Sections 13 (d) and 14 (d) (2) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), other than an affiliate of CPB or an employee benefit plan established or maintained by CPB or any of its affiliates, is or becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of CPB representing more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the combined voting power of CPB’s then outstanding securities (a “Control Person”); provided that no person shall be considered a Control Person for purposes of this paragraph (i) if such person acquires in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the combined voting power of CPB’s then outstanding voting securities in violation of law and, by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, settlement or otherwise, subsequently disposes or is required to dispose of all CPB securities acquired in violation of law.

	
  

	
ii.

	
Upon the purchase of twenty five percent (25%), in the aggregate, of the issued and outstanding shares of CPB’s common stock pursuant to a tender or exchange offer (other than a tender or exchange offer made by CPB or an employee benefit plan established or maintained by CPB or any of its affiliates).

 

	
  

	
 
iii.

	
 
Upon the approval by (a) CPB’s shareholders or, (b) if and only if Executive is an employee of only TRCB, CPB as the sole holder of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of TRCB, of (A) a merger, combination, or consolidation of CPB or TRCB with or into another entity (other than a merger or consolidation within the CPB corporate group, or a merger or consolidation the definitive agreement for which provides that at least two-thirds of the directors of the surviving or resulting entity immediately after the transaction are Continuing Directors (as hereinafter defined) (a “Non-Control Transaction”)), (B) a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of CPB’s or TRCB’s assets or (C) a plan of liquidation or dissolution of CPB or TRCB (other than a plan of liquidation or dissolution of TRCB under which the business of TRCB would continue to be operated by CPB or a member of the CPB corporate group).

 

	
  

	
 
iv.

	
 
If during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the board of directors of CPB or TRCB, as the case may be, (the “Continuing Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a simple majority thereof or, following a Non-Control Transaction, a simple majority of the board of directors of the surviving or resulting entity; provided that any individual whose election or nomination for election as a member of the board of directors of CPB or TRCB, as the case may be, (or, following a Non-Control Transaction, the board of directors of the surviving or resulting entity) was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Continuing Directors then in office shall be considered a Continuing Director.

 

  

2

  

	
  

	
 
v.

	
 
Upon a sale of (A) common stock of CPB if after such sale any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) other than an employee benefit plan established or maintained by CPB or an affiliate of CPB, owns a majority of CPB’s common stock or (B) all or substantially all of CPB’s assets (other than in the ordinary course of business).

	
  

	
 
vi.

	
 
If and only if the Executive is an employee of only TRCB, upon a sale of (A) common stock of TRCB if after such sale any person (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) other than CPB, an employee benefit plan established or maintained by CPB, or any subsidiary or affiliate of CPB, owns a majority of TRCB’s common stock or (B) all or substantially all of TRCB’s assets (other than in the ordinary course of business).

 

	
  

	
c.

	
Contract Period.  “Contract Period” shall mean the period commencing the day immediately preceding a Change in Control and ending on the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Change in Control, or (ii) the death of the Executive.

	
  

	
d.

	
Good Reason.  When used with reference to a termination by Executive of his employment with Employer, “Good Reason” shall mean (a) any material breach by Employer of, or material failure of Employer to tender performance under, this Agreement, as well as (b) any of the following, if taken without Executive’s express written consent, but only if, and to the extent that, such action or failure to act by Employer constitutes a “material negative change”, within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(n)(2)(i), to Executive in his relationship with the Employer so as to result in the termination by Executive of his employment relationship with Employer for “Good Reason” being an “involuntary separation from service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(n):

	
  

	
i.

	
          The assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent with, or the reduction of powers or functions associated with, Executive’s position, title, duties, responsibilities and status as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of TRCB; or any removal of the Executive as, or any failure to continue the Executive as, the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of TRCB.  A change in position, title, duties, responsibilities and status, or position(s) or office(s), resulting merely from a merger or consolidation of CPB or TRCB into or with another bank or company shall not meet the requirements of this paragraph if, and only if, Executive’s new title and responsibilities are accepted in writing by Executive, in the sole discretion of Executive.

 

  

3

  

 

	
  

	
 
ii.

	
          A reduction by Employer in Executive’s annual Base Compensation as in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control.

	
  

	
 
 
iii.

	
          Any transfer by Employer of Executive to another geographic location which is either outside of New Jersey or more than 50 miles from his office location.

 

	
  

	
 
 
 
iv.

	
          The failure by Employer to continue in effect any 401(k) plan, stock option plan, life insurance plan, health and accident plan, or disability plan in which Executive participates, or the taking of any action by Employer which would adversely affect Executive’s participation in or materially reduce Executive’s benefits under any of such plans; the failure to continue, or the taking of any action which would deprive Executive of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by Executive; or any reduction by Employer in the number of paid vacation days to which Executive would, but for such reduction, be entitled.

 

	
  

	
2.

	
Employment. The Employer hereby agrees to employ the Executive, and the Executive hereby agrees to accept employment, during the Contract Period upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. TRCB and CPB may, at any time and in the exercise of their sole discretion, transfer the Executive’s employment relationship from TRCB to CPB, or from CPB to TRCB.  The transfer of the Executive’s employment relationship between TRCB and CPB shall not be deemed to be either an actual or constructive termination of the Executive or “Good Reason” for any purpose of this Agreement, and the Executive’s employment shall be deemed to have continued without interruption for all purposes of this Agreement.

	
  

	
3.

	
Position. During the Contract Period, Executive shall be employed as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of TRCB or such other corporate or divisional profit center as shall then be the principal successor to the business, assets and properties of TRCB, with the same title and the same duties and responsibilities as before the Change in Control.  Executive shall devote his full time and attention to the business of Employer, and shall not during the Contract Period be engaged in any other business activity.  This paragraph shall not be construed as preventing Executive from managing any investments of his which do not require any involvement on his part in the operation of such investments, serving as a trustee or director of any nonprofit entity so long as such service does not interfere with Executive's function or performance as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of TRCB, or, with the prior approval of the Board, serving as a director of any unaffiliated business entity.

	
  

	
4.

	
Compensation.  Employer shall pay to Executive compensation for his services during the Contract Period as follows:

 

  

4

  

 

	
  

	
a.

	
Base Compensation.  The base compensation shall be equal to such annual compensation, including both salary and bonus, as was paid to or accrued by, or for the benefit of, the Executive in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the Change in Control.  The annual salary portion of base compensation shall be payable in installments in accordance with the Employer’s usual payroll method.  The bonus shall be payable at the time and in the manner as to which the Employer paid such bonuses prior to the Change in Control.  Any increase in the Executive’s annual compensation pursuant to paragraph 4(b) below, or otherwise, shall automatically and permanently increase the base compensation.

	
  

	
b.

	
Annual Increase.  During the Contract Period, the Compensation Committee of the Board and the Board shall review Executive’s compensation on an annual basis.  The Board may, in the exercise of its discretion, award Executive increased compensation to reflect the impact of inflation, his performance, Employer's financial performance, and competitive compensation levels, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Board.  Any increase in compensation may take any form, including but not limited to an increase in annual salary.

	
  

	
5.

	
Expenses and Fringe Benefits.  During the Contract Period, the Executive shall be entitled to reimbursement for all business expenses incurred by him with respect to the business of the Employer in the same manner and to the same extent as such expenses were previously reimbursed to him immediately prior to the Change in Control, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the deduction by Employer for federal income tax purposes of any expense which is incurred by Executive and reimbursed to Executive by Employer is disallowed as a result of not being an ordinary and necessary business expense under the then current version of Section 162 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Executive shall repay the amount of such reimbursed expense to Employer; AND FURTHER PROVIDED that, notwithstanding the foregoing clause of this sentence, Executive shall not be obligated to repay to Employer any business expense incurred by him and reimbursed to him by the Bank the deductibility of which is prohibited or limited by the application of a specific statutory, regulatory or administrative principle, and which would otherwise be deductible to Employer as an ordinary and necessary business expense under the then current version of Section 162 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Executive consents to the withholding by Employer of any such amount from that paycheck of Executive which immediately succeeds the final disallowance by the Internal Revenue Service of the deduction of such reimbursed expense, but only if the withholding of such amount would not violate applicable wage and hour laws.   If prior to the Change in Control, the Executive was entitled to the use of an automobile, he shall be entitled to the same use of an automobile at least comparable to the automobile provided to him prior to the Change in Control, and he shall be entitled to vacations and sick days, in accordance with the practices and procedures of the Employer, as such existed immediately prior to the Change in Control.  During the Contract Period the Executive also shall be entitled to hospital, health, medical and life insurance, and any other benefits enjoyed, from time to time, by executive officers of the Employer, all upon terms as favorable as those enjoyed by other executive officers of the Employer.  Notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, if Employer adopts any change in the expenses allowed to, or fringe benefits provided for, executive officers of Employer, and such policy is uniformly applied to all executive officers of Employer, then no such change in policy shall be deemed to be a violation of this provision.

 

  

5

  

 

	
  

	
6.

	
Termination for Cause.  Employer shall have the right to terminate Executive for Cause at any time during the Contract Period, upon written notice to him which shall specify the reasons for the termination.  In the event of termination for Cause, Executive shall be entitled only to such Base Compensation which has accrued but not been paid to the date of termination, but shall not be entitled to any further benefits under this Agreement, or the payment of any additional amounts under this Agreement.  This Agreement shall terminate ipso facto upon any termination of Executive's employment for Cause.

	
  

	
7.

	
Disability.  During the Contract Period, if the Executive becomes permanently disabled, or is unable to perform his duties hereunder for six consecutive months in any 18-month period, Employer may terminate the employment of the Executive.  In such event, the Executive shall not be entitled to any further benefits under this Agreement other than payments under any disability policy which Employer may obtain for the benefit of its senior officers generally.

	
  

	
8.

	
Death Benefits.  Upon the Executive’s death during the Contract Period, the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits of any life insurance policy or supplemental executive retirement plan paid for, or maintained by, the Employer, but his estate shall not be entitled to any further benefits under this Agreement.

	
  

	
9.

	
Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason.  Employer may terminate Executive without Cause during the Contract Period upon four weeks’ prior written notice to Executive, and Executive may resign for Good Reason during the Contract Period, but only in full accordance with the terms of the third full paragraph of this Section 9.  If Employer terminates Executive’s employment during the Contract Period without Cause or if Executive resigns during the Contract Period for Good Reason in full accordance with the terms of the third full paragraph of this Section 9, Employer shall, subject to Executive’s full and timely tender of performance under Section 14 of this Agreement, pay to Executive on that date which is ninety (90) days after the termination of his employment a lump sum equal to two (2) times the highest annual compensation, including only salary and cash bonus, paid to Executive during any of the three calendar years immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Lump Sum Payment”).

 

If Employer has provided an automobile for Executive’s use and if (i) Employer terminates Executive without Cause during the term of this Agreement; (ii) Executive resigns with Good Reason during the term of this Agreement; or (iii) Employer terminates Executive’s employment under Section 7 of this Agreement by reason of Executive’s disability during the term of this Agreement, then Employer shall, for a stated purchase price of $1.00, transfer to Executive title to that automobile which Employer has, as of the date of such termination of employment, provided for Executive's use, which title shall, at the time of such transfer, be completely free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, claims and lease obligations.  Executive acknowledges that the transfer to Executive of title to the automobile under the preceding sentence may generate employee compensation to Executive, and agrees that Employer may withhold from the Lump Sum Payment that amount which is necessary for Employer to fully satisfy its withholding obligations under federal and state law.  Executive shall pay any sales tax liability, as well as any registration, documentation or title fees, associated with the transfer of title under this paragraph of this Section 9.

  

6

  

Executive may not resign with Good Reason, and shall not be considered to have done so for any purpose of this Agreement, unless (i) Executive, within sixty (60) days of the initial existence of the act or failure to act by Employer which Executive believes to constitute “Good Reason” within the meaning of this Agreement, provides Employer with written notice which describes, in particular detail, the act or failure to act which Executive believes to constitute “Good Reason” and identifies the particular clause of Section 1d of this Agreement which Executive contends is applicable to such act or failure to act; (ii) Employer, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such notice, fails or refuses to rescind such act or remedy such failure to act so as to eliminate “Good Reason” for the termination by Executive of his employment relationship with Employer, and (iii) Executive actually resigns from his employment with Employer on or before that date which is exactly six (6) calendar months after the initial existence of the act or failure to act by Employer which constitutes “Good Reason” within the meaning of this Agreement.  If the requirements of the preceding sentence are not fully satisfied on a timely basis, then the resignation by Executive of his employment with Employer shall not be deemed to have been for “Good Reason”; he shall not be entitled to any of the benefits to which he would have been entitled if he had resigned his employment with Employer for “Good Reason”; and, in particular, Employer shall not be required to pay any amount which would otherwise have been due to Executive under this Section 9 of this Agreement had Executive resigned with “Good Reason”.

Employer and Executive acknowledge that any termination of Executive’s employment without Cause or resignation for Good Reason under this Section 9 of this Agreement is intended to qualify as a “Separation from Service” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).  Executive and Employer agree that Executive will not, at any time subsequent to a termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason under this Section 9 of this Agreement, as an employee or independent contractor, provide services to Employer or any affiliate of Employer at an annual rate which is more than twenty percent (20%) of the services rendered, on average, during the thirty six (36) full calendar months immediately preceding such termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason under this Section 9 of this Agreement (or the full period for which Executive provided services to Employer (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) if Executive has, at the time of termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason under this Section 9 of this Agreement, been providing services for a period of less than thirty six (36) months).

 

  

7

  

 

Executive shall not have a duty to mitigate the damages suffered by him in connection with the termination by Employer of his employment without Cause or a resignation for Good Reason during the Contract Period.  If Employer fails to pay Executive the Lump Sum Payment or to provide him with the benefits due under this section, Executive, after giving ten (10) days’ written notice to Employer identifying Employer’s failure, shall be entitled to recover from Employer all of his reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with his enforcement against Employer of the terms of this Agreement. Employer agrees to pay such legal fees and expenses to Executive on demand.  Executive shall be denied payment of his legal fees and expenses only if a court finds that Executive sought payment of such fees without reasonable cause and in bad faith.  Notwithstanding any term of this paragraph to the contrary, if at such time as payment of the Lump Sum Payment would otherwise be due under this Section 9 of this Agreement Employer and Executive are opposing parties to any litigation, then (i) Employer need not tender payment to Executive of such Lump Sum Payment, or provide Executive with any other payment or benefit which would otherwise be made to or conferred upon Executive under this Agreement, until such time as such litigation is resolved with finality, and then only in accordance with the applicable terms of the resolution of such litigation, and (ii) Executive may not recover any legal fees from Employer under this paragraph of this Section 9, and may recover only such legal fees, if any, as are to be paid by Employer under the applicable terms of the resolution of such litigation.

If, in accordance with and pursuant to this Section 9 of this Agreement, either (i) Employer terminates Executive without Cause or (ii) Executive resigns for Good Reason, in either case during the Contract Period (a “Benefits Continuation Event”), then Employer shall, for the remainder of the Contract Period (the “Continuing Coverage Period”), either provide Executive with continued benefits under, or defray the cost of continued benefits which are comparable to those provided by, those medical and dental benefit plans, life insurance plans, and disability insurance plans (the “Continuing Coverage Plans”) which are sponsored by Employer and in which Executive is a participant as of the date of the termination of Executive's employment.

During the Continuing Coverage Period, Employer shall, if and only to the extent possible under the terms of such plans, continue Executive’s participation in the Continuing Coverage Plans for the Continuing Coverage Period, which continued participation shall be under all of the costs, terms and conditions that are applicable to or imposed upon employees of similar title to Executive, as such costs, terms and conditions may change from time to time during the remainder of the Continuing Coverage Period.

To the extent that the terms of any of the Continuing Coverage Plans are such that the actual participation of Executive cannot be continued after a Benefits Continuation Event, then Employer shall, for the duration of the Continuing Coverage Period, provide  Executive with a periodic payment, or periodic payments, in that amount or those amounts which Employer determines in the exercise of its reasonable discretion and in good faith to be fully sufficient to defray the cost to Executive of participation in plans which provide benefits that are materially identical to those benefits provided by those Continuing Coverage Plans in which, by their terms, Executive cannot continue to participate subsequent to the termination of Executive's employment.  Any such payment or payments shall be defined as Coverage Continuation Reimbursement Payments. Executive and Employer specifically agree that the reimbursement by Employer through the Continuing Coverage Period of the full monthly COBRA amount which would, in the absence of this Agreement, be charged to Executive for continuing coverage under the medical benefits plan sponsored by Employer, and in which Executive is a participant as of the termination of Executive's employment, shall constitute full tender of performance under this Agreement with respect to such medical benefits plan.  All Coverage Continuation Reimbursement Payments shall be paid by Employer to Executive five (5) days prior to the date when the expense to be reimbursed is due and payable by Executive.

 

  

8

  

 

If at any time during the Continuing Coverage Period, Executive becomes employed by another employer which provides one or more of the benefits provided under the Continuing Coverage Plans, then Employer shall, immediately and from the date when such benefits are made available to the Employee by the successor employer, be relieved of its obligation to provide such benefits, or Coverage Continuation Reimbursement Payments for such benefits, to the extent such benefits are duplicative of those which are provided to Executive by Executive’s new employer.   Executive shall notify Employer at such time as Executive becomes employed by any successor employer, and shall provide Employer with such information pertaining to the employee benefit plans of the successor employer as is sufficient for Employer to reach a conclusion as to whether the preceding sentence is applicable.  Any failure by Executive to provide such information to Employer on a timely basis shall give rise to a claim by Employer against Executive for (i) the entire aggregate cost of those benefits provided under the Continuing Coverage Plans and those Coverage Continuation Reimbursement Payments which Employer would not have been obligated to provide or tender had the information required under the preceding sentence been provided to Employer on a timely basis, and (ii) legal fees incurred by Employer in asserting a claim against Executive under this sentence.

	
  

	
10.

	
Resignation without Good Reason.  Executive shall be entitled to resign from the employment of Employer at any time during the Contract Period without Good Reason, but upon such resignation, Executive shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for the time after which he ceases to be employed by Employer, and shall not be entitled to any of the payments or other benefits which would otherwise be provided to Executive under this Agreement.  No such resignation shall be effective unless in writing with four weeks’ notice thereof.  For all purposes of this Agreement, the retirement by Executive from his employment with Employer shall be deemed to be a resignation by Executive without Good Reason.

	
  

	
11.

	
Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.

	
  

	
a.

	
Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.  Except in the course of his employment with Employer and in pursuit of the business of CPB, TRCB or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates, Executive shall not, at any time during or following the term of this Agreement or the Contract Period, disclose or use for any purpose any confidential information or proprietary data of CPB, TRCB or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.  Executive agrees that, among other things, all information concerning the identity of, and CPB’s and TRCB’s relations with, their respective customers is confidential and proprietary information.

 

  

9

  

 

	
  

	
b.

	
Specific Performance.   Executive agrees that CPB and TRCB do not have an adequate remedy at law for the breach of this section and agrees that he shall be subject to injunctive relief and equitable remedies as a result of any breach of this section.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the force and effect of the remaining valid portions.

	
  

	
c.

	
Survival.   This section shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder, the expiration of this Agreement, and the expiration of the Contract Period.

	
  

	
12.

	
Term and Effect Prior to Change in Control.

	
  

	
a.

	
Term.  Except as otherwise provided for hereunder, this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall remain in effect until May 31, 2012 (the “Initial Term”) or until the end of the Contract Period, whichever is later.  The Initial Term shall, on and as of May 31, 2012, be automatically extended for an additional one (1) year period (so that the Initial Term, as so extended, expires on May 31, 2013) unless the Board of Directors of the Employer, by a majority vote of the directors then in office, determines prior to May 31, 2012 not to so extend the Initial Term.  The Executive shall be promptly notified of the passage of such a resolution.

	
  

	
b.

	
No Effect Prior to Change in Control.   This Agreement shall not, in any respect, affect any rights of the Employer or the Executive prior to a Change in Control or any rights of the Executive granted in any other agreement, plan or arrangements.  The rights, duties and benefits provided hereunder shall only become effective upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, as defined in this Agreement.  If the employment of the Executive by the Employer is terminated for any reason prior to a Change in Control, this Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect.

Section 280G.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Employer determines in good faith that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise (with all such payments and benefits, including, without limitation, salary and bonus payments, being defined as “Total Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code by reason of being considered to be “contingent on a change in ownership or control” of Employer within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then such Total Payments shall be reduced in the manner reasonably determined by Employer, in its sole discretion, to the extent necessary so that the Total Payments will be less than three times Executive's “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code).

Release in Favor of the CPB Corporate Group as a Condition Precedent.  As a condition precedent to the actual payment by Employer to Executive of any amount otherwise payable under Section 9 of this Agreement, Executive must execute and deliver a full release in favor of CPB, TRCB, their respective affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective officers and directors, which release shall (i) be in form and content which is fully compliant with all of those provisions of law to which the release pertains, and reasonably satisfactory to counsel to Employer; (ii) cover all actual or potential claims arising from Executive’s employment by Employer and the termination of such employment; and (iii) be prepared, reviewed and executed in a manner which is consistent with all requirements of law, including the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.

Covenant Not to Compete. Executive agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months from the date when the Lump Sum Payment is made to the Executive under this Agreement, he shall not (i) become employed or retained by, directly or indirectly, any bank or other regulated financial services institution with an office or operating branch in any county in New Jersey within which TRCB or any other then existing subsidiary of CPB maintains an office or branch, or (ii) solicit, entice or induce any person who, at any time during the one year period through such date was, or at any time during the period of twelve (12) months from the date when the Lump Sum Payment is made is, either an employee of Employer in a senior managerial, operational or lending capacity, or a highly skilled employee with access to and responsibility for any confidential information, to become employed or engaged by Executive or any person, firm, company or association in which Executive has an interest; approach any such person for any such purpose; or authorize or knowingly approve the taking of such actions by any other person or entity.  Executive acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this restrictive covenant are reasonable and necessary to protect CPB, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates, and that Employer’s tender of performance under this Agreement is fair, adequate and valid consideration in exchange for his promises under this Paragraph 15 of this Agreement.  Executive further acknowledges that his knowledge, skills and abilities are sufficient to permit him to earn a satisfactory livelihood without violating the provisions of this Paragraph 15.  Executive agrees that, should Employer reasonably conclude that Executive has failed to fully comply with all of the terms of this Section 15, Employer may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for such equitable relief as Employer believes to be necessary and effective, and may pursue a claim against Executive for damages.  Executive further agrees that Executive shall reimburse Employer for all legal fees incurred by Employer in (i) applying for and securing such equitable relief as is granted under the preceding sentence, and (ii) asserting and pursuing a claim for damages under the preceding sentence which is adjudicated wholly or partially in favor of Employer.

Severance Compensation and Benefits not in Derogation of Other Benefits. Subject only to those particular terms of this Agreement to the contrary, the payment or obligation to pay any monies, or the granting of any benefits, rights or privileges to Executive as provided in this Agreement shall not be in lieu or derogation of the rights and privileges that Executive now has or will have under any plans or programs of Employer.

	 Miscellaneous.

 

	
(a)    

	
General: This Agreement shall be the joint and several obligation of CPB, TRCB and any acquiring entity which assumes CPB’s or the TRCB’s obligations under this Agreement.  The terms of this Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted and construed in accordance with the provisions of, the laws of New Jersey and, to the extent applicable, Federal law.  Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect to the matters covered hereby.  The amendment or termination of this Agreement may be made only in a writing executed by CPB, TRCB and the Executive, and no amendment or termination of this Agreement shall be effective unless and until made in such a writing.  This Agreement shall be binding to the extent of its applicability upon any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merge, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the assets of CPB or TRCB.  This Agreement is personal to the Executive, and the Executive may not assign any of his rights or duties hereunder, but this Agreement shall be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives, executors or administrators.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. CPB or TRCB, as the case may be, shall, as part of any Change in Control involving an acquiring entity or successor to CPB or TRCB, obtain an enforceable assumption in writing by (i) the entity which is the acquiring entity or successor to CPB or TRCB, as the case may be, in the Change in Control and, (ii) if the acquiring entity or successor to CPB or TRCB, as the case may be, is a bank, the holding company parent of the acquiring entity or successor, of this Agreement and the obligations of CPB or TRCB, as the case may be, under this Agreement, and shall provide a copy of such assumption to the Executive prior to any Change in Control.

	
  

	
Throughout this Agreement, the masculine form of any pronoun shall be interpreted to refer to the feminine form of such pronoun, it being the intention of the parties that this Agreement be interpreted in a gender neutral manner.

(b) Section 409A:  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) if at the time of Executive's termination of employment with Employer, Executive is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and the deferral of the commencement of any payments or benefits otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such termination of employment is necessary in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then Employer will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments or benefits hereunder (without any reduction in such payments or benefits ultimately paid or provided to Executive) until the date which is six months following the termination of Executive's employment with Employer (or the earliest date which is permitted under Section 409A of the Code), and (ii) if any other payments of money or other benefits due to Executive under this Agreement could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such payments or other benefits shall be deferred if deferral will make such payment or other benefits compliant under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise such payment or other benefits shall be restructured, to the extent possible, in a manner which is determined by the Board in consultation with Employer's professional advisers not to cause such an accelerated or additional tax.  In the event that payments under this Agreement are deferred pursuant to this Section 17(b) in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, then such payments shall be paid at the time specified in this Section 17(b) without any interest.   Employer shall consult with Executive in good faith regarding the implementation of this Section 17(b), PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that none of Employer, its directors, its employees or its advisors shall have any liability to Executive with respect to this Section 17(b).

(c) Limitations Imposed by Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and Other Applicable Law:

Executive acknowledges that Employer's tender of performance under this Agreement may be limited, proscribed or prohibited by the applicable provisions of some or all of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 ("EESA"); the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”); those regulations and that administrative authority which have been, are or may be promulgated under either; and future statutory law, regulations and administrative pronouncements (collectively, “Limiting Law”).  Employee agrees and acknowledges that only if, for so long as, and to the extent that any provision of Limiting Law is applicable to limit, proscribe or prohibit any payment which would otherwise be tendered to Executive under this Agreement or any benefit which would otherwise be conferred upon Executive under this Agreement, Employer shall be under no actual or implied obligation to, and shall not, tender to Executive or confer upon Executive, in the case of a prohibition, such payment or such benefit or, in the case of a limitation or proscription, only such portion of such payment or such benefit as is limited or proscribed.   This Agreement shall be without binding effect to the extent of such limitation, proscription, or prohibition.  The determination as to whether, and the extent to which, any provision of Limiting Law is applicable to limit, proscribe or prohibit any payment which would otherwise be tendered to Executive under this Agreement or any benefit which would otherwise be conferred upon Executive under this Agreement shall be made by Employer in consultation with its professional advisers.  Executive shall execute and deliver any document or correspondence which is deemed by counsel to Employer to be necessary or in Employer's best interests to reaffirm Executive's agreement that the provisions of Limiting Law, to the extent of their applicability, supersede the terms and enforceability of this Agreement.
