 Ponce Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan 

WHEREAS, Ponce De Leon Federal Bank, a federally chartered bank (the “Bank”), has adopted the “Ponce De Leon Federal Bank Plan
of Reorganization from a Mutual Bank to a Mutual Holding Company and Stock Issuance Plan” (the “Plan of Reorganization”) pursuant to which the Bank will reorganize into the mutual holding company structure; 

WHEREAS, as part of the Plan of Reorganization, the Bank will transfer its assets and liabilities to a de novo federally chartered stock
savings bank, named “Ponce Bank,” that will upon completion of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization be wholly owned by PDL Community Bancorp, a
to-be-formed federal corporation (“Bancorp”); 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, Bancorp will issue no less than 50.1% of its to-be-outstanding shares of common stock to Ponce Bank Mutual Holding Company, a federally-chartered mutual holding company that will be formed pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, and offer for sale to
certain depositors and borrowers and others up to 49.9% of its to-be-outstanding shares of common stock; and 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Plan of Reorganization the Bank wishes to recognize the contribution being made to the successful operation of
its business by its employees and desires to reward such contribution by establishing an employee stock ownership plan for its employees, the employees of its participating affiliated entities as hereinafter defined and their respective successors,
who are or shall hereafter become eligible as participants under the plan enacted hereunder, which such plan will be invested primarily in shares of common stock of Bancorp. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the Bank hereby adopts this Ponce Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”)
effective as of             , 2017.

INTRODUCTION 
 The Plan is
intended to be an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and is designed to invest primarily in Company Stock (as defined herein), which meets the requirements
for qualifying employer securities under Code section 409(l). The purchase of Company Stock for the Plan may be made with the proceeds of exempt loans meeting the requirements of Section 54.4975-7(b) of the
Treasury Regulations (including any amendments thereto) and Section 2550.408(b)-3 of the Department of Labor Regulations (including any amendments thereto), employer contributions, dividends on qualified
employer securities or a combination thereof.

initially capitalized words and phrases when used in the Plan shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

 2.1 Account means the bookkeeping account established for each Participant which reflects

Change in Control of Bancorp within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or the Change in Bank Control Act and the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRS”)
promulgated pursuant thereto (provided, that in applying the definition of change in control as set forth under the Rules and Regulations of the FRS, the Board shall substitute its judgment for that of the FRS); or (iii) results in a Change in
Control of the Bank within the meaning of the 

  
 3 

 
Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, or the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”), as in
effect on the date hereof (provided, that in applying the definition of change in control as set forth under the rules and regulations of the OCC, the Board shall substitute its judgment for that of the OCC); or (iv) without limitation such a
Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as: 
  

	 	(a)	any “person” (as the term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of voting securities of Bancorp representing 25% or more of Bancorp’s outstanding voting securities or right to acquire such securities except for any voting securities purchased by any employee benefit
plan of the Bank, by the Ponce De Leon Foundation or by Ponce Bank Mutual Holding Company; 

  

	 	(b)	individuals who constitute the Board of Bancorp or the Bank on the date hereof (each an “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided that any person becoming a
director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election by Bancorp’s or the Bank’s stockholders was approved
by a Nominating Committee solely composed of members which are Incumbent Board members, shall be, for purposes of this clause (b), considered as though he were a member of the Incumbent Board; 

 

	 	(c)	a plan of reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the assets of Bancorp or the Bank or similar transaction occurs or is effectuated in which Bancorp or the Bank is not the resulting

	 	(d)	a proxy statement has been distributed soliciting proxies from stockholders of Bancorp, by someone other than the current management of Bancorp, seeking stockholder approval of a plan of reorganization, merger or
consolidation of Bancorp with one or more companies as a result of which the outstanding shares of the class of securities then subject to such plan or transaction are exchanged for or converted into cash or property or securities not issued by
Bancorp; or 

  

	 	(e)	a tender offer is made for 20% or more of the voting securities of Bancorp then outstanding. 

In no event, however, shall a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred as a result of any acquisition of securities or assets of Bancorp
or the Bank, by any employee benefit plan maintained by the Bank, by the Ponce De Leon Foundation, or by Ponce Bank Mutual Holding Company. 

  
 4 

 2.10 Code means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations
promulgated thereunder. 
 2.11 Company Stock means shares of common stock issued by Bancorp that are readily tradable on an
established securities market; provided, however, if Bancorp common stock is not readily tradable on an established securities market, Company Stock means common stock issued by Bancorp having a combination of voting power and dividend rates equal
to or in excess of: (a) that class of common stock of Bancorp having the greatest voting power and (b) that class of common stock of Bancorp having the greatest dividend rights. Non-callable
preferred stock shall be treated as Company Stock for purposes of the Plan if such stock is convertible at any time into stock that is readily tradable on an established securities market (or, if applicable, that meets the requirements of
(a) and (b) next above) and if such conversion is at a conversion price that, as of the date of the acquisition by the Plan, is reasonable. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, preferred stock shall be treated as non-callable if, after the call, there will be a reasonable opportunity for a conversion that meets the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence. Company Stock shall be held under the Trust only if such
stock satisfies the requirements of Section 407(d)(5) of ERISA. 
 2.12 Compensation means wages within the meaning of Code section
3401(a) and all other payments of compensation to a Participant by the Employer during a Plan Year for which the Employer is required to report on Form W-2. Compensation must be determined without regard to
any rules under Code section 3401(a) that limit the remuneration included in wages based on the nature or location of the employment or the services performed. Compensation also includes any salary reduction contributions elected by a Participant
which is not includible in the gross income of the Participant pursuant to any plan maintained by the Bank in accordance with Code sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(e)(3), 402(h) or 403(b); but excluding bonuses, car allowances, marriage leave benefits,
employee incentive payments, expense reimbursements, and retro pay. 
 Payments made within 2-1/2
months after severance from employment (within the meaning of Code section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(I)) will be Compensation if they are payments that, absent a severance from employment, would have been paid to the Participant while the Participant
continued in employment with the Employer and are regular compensation for services during the Participant’s regular working hours, compensation for services outside the Participant’s regular working hours (such as overtime or shift
differential), commissions, bonuses, or other similar compensation, and payments for accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave, but only if the Participant would have been able to use the leave if employment had continued. Any payments not
described above are not considered Compensation if paid after severance from employment, even if they are paid within 2-1/2 months following severance from employment, except for payments to an individual who
does not currently perform services for the Employer by reason of qualified military service (within the meaning of Code section 414(u)(1)) to the extent these payments do not exceed the amounts the individual would have received if the individual
had continued to perform services for the Employer rather than entering qualified military service. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Compensation shall not include any amounts earned prior to becoming a Participant in the Plan. 

  
 5 

 The annual compensation for each Participant taken into account under the Plan shall not exceed
$270,000, as adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service at the same time and in the same manner as under Code section 415(d). 
 2.13
Disability means a medically determinable physical or mental impairment which is of such permanence and degree that it can be expected to result in death or that a Participant is unable, because of such impairment, to perform any substantial
gainful activity for which the Participant is suited by virtue of such Participant’s experience, training or education and which would entitle the Participant to benefits under the Employer’s long-term disability plan, if any, or to Social
Security disability benefits as evidenced by a disability award letter. 
 2.14 Disqualified Person means a person defined in Code
section 4975(e), including but not limited to (i) a fiduciary of the Plan; (ii) a person providing services to the Plan; (iii) an owner of 50% or more of the combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Bank entitled
to vote or the total value of shares of all classes of stock of the Bank and certain members of such owner’s family; or (iv) an officer, director, 10% or greater shareholder or highly compensated employee (who earns 10% or more of the
yearly wages) of the Bank. 
 2.15 Effective Date means [            ],
2017, which is the date on which the provisions of this Plan become effective. 
 2.16 Employee means an individual who is employed
as a common law employee by the Bank or an Affiliate on a salaried or hourly basis and with respect to whom the Bank or the Affiliate is required to withhold taxes from remuneration paid to such Employee by the Bank or Affiliate for personal
services rendered to the Bank, including any officer or director who shall so qualify. If an individual is not considered to be an Employee in accordance with the preceding sentence for a Plan Year, a subsequent determination by the Bank, any
governmental agency or court that the individual is a common law employee of the Bank, even if such determination is applicable to prior years, will not have a retroactive effect for purposes of eligibility to participate in the Plan. 

2.17 Employer means the Bank. 

2.18 Entry Date means January 1 and July 1 of each Plan Year. 

2.19 ERISA means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time, including any regulations
promulgated thereunder. 
 2.20 Exempt Loan means the issuance of notes, a series of notes or other installment obligations incurred
by the Trustee, in accordance with the Trust, in connection with the purchase of Company Stock, the terms of which shall satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 54.4975-7(b), including the
requirements: (a) that the loan bear a reasonable rate of interest, be for a definite period (rather than payable on demand), and be without recourse against the Plan, and (b) that the only assets of the Plan that may be given as
collateral are shares of Common Stock purchased with the proceeds of that loan or with the proceeds of a prior Exempt Loan.

 2.21 Highly Compensated Employee 

 

	 	(a)	Highly Compensated Employee means an Employee who performs service during the determination year and is described in one or more of the following groups: 

 

	 	(i)	An Employee who is a 5% owner, as defined in Code section 416(i)(1)(A)(iii), at any time during the determination year or the look-back year. 

 

	 	(ii)	An Employee who receives compensation in excess of $115,000 (indexed in accordance with Code section 415(d)) during the look-back year and is a member of the top-paid group for
the look-back year. 

  

	 	(b)	For purposes of the definition of Highly Compensated Employee, the following definitions and rules shall apply: 

  

	 	(i)	The determination year is the Plan Year for which the determination of who is highly compensated is being made. 

  

	 	(ii)	The look-back year is the 12-month period immediately preceding the determination year, or if the Employer elects, the calendar year ending with or within the determination year.

  

	 	(iii)	The top-paid group consists of the top 20% of employees ranked on the basis of compensation received during the year. For purposes of determining the number of employees in the top-paid group, employees described in Code section 414(q)(8) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.414(q)-1T Q&A 9(b) are excluded. 

 

	 	(c)	Compensation is compensation within the meaning of Code section 415(c)(3), plus, for purposes thereof, elective or salary reduction contributions to a cafeteria plan, cash or deferred arrangement under Code section
401(k) or tax-sheltered annuity under Code section 403(b), or made pursuant to Code section 132(f)(4). Employers aggregated under Code sections 414(b), (c), (m), or (o) are treated as a single employer.

 2.22 Hours of Service means: 
  

	 	(a)	Performance of Duties. The actual hours for which an Employee is paid or entitled to be paid by the Bank for the performance of duties; 

 

	 	(b)	 Nonworking Paid Time. Each hour for which an Employee is paid or entitled to be paid by the Bank on
account of a period of time during which no duties are performed (irrespective of whether the employment relationship has terminated) due to vacation, holiday, illness, incapacity, disability (to the extent not already included in Compensation),
layoff, jury duty, military duty or leave of absence; provided, however, no more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited to an Employee under this subsection for any single continuous period (whether or not

  
 7 

	 	
such period occurs in a single computation period); and provided further that no credit shall be given for payments made or due under a plan maintained solely for the purpose of complying with
applicable worker’s or unemployment compensation or disability insurance laws or for payments which solely reimburse an Employee for medical or medically related expenses incurred by the Employee; and 

 

	 	(c)	Maternity, Paternity and FMLA Leave. Solely for purposes of determining whether a one year Break in Service has occurred for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting, each hour for which an
Employee is absent from employment by reason of (i) pregnancy of the Employee, (ii) birth of a child of the Employee, (iii) placement of a child in connection with the adoption of the child by an individual, or (iv) caring for
the child during the period immediately following the birth or placement for adoption. Hours of Service shall also, for these limited purposes, include each hour for which an Employee who has worked for the Bank or an Affiliate for at least 12
months and for at least 1,250 Hours of Service during the year preceding the start of the leave, is absent from employment on an unpaid family leave for up to 12 weeks, as provided for in the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (the “FMLA
Leave”), by reason of (A) the birth or adoption of a child, (B) the care of a spouse, child or parent with a serious health condition, or (C) the Employee’s own serious health condition, provided that such an Employee
provides the Bank with a 30-day advance notice if the leave is foreseeable, and/or medical certification satisfactory to support the Employee’s request for leave because of a serious health condition. For
purposes of determining whether an Employee’s leave qualifies as a “FMLA Leave” in order to be credited with Hours of Service under this Plan, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (“FMLA”) and the regulations promulgated
thereunder shall apply. During the period of absence, the Employee shall be credited with the number of hours that would be generally credited but for such absence or if the general number of work hours is unknown, eight Hours of Service for each
normal workday during the leave (whether or not approved). These hours shall be credited to the computation period in which the leave of absence commences if crediting of such hours is required to prevent the occurrence of a one year Break in
Service in such computation period, and in other cases, in the immediately following computation period. The computation period shall be the same as the relevant period for determining eligibility computation periods and vesting computation periods.
Unless otherwise required under the FMLA and the regulations promulgated thereunder, no more than 501 Hours of Service shall be credited under this paragraph for any single continuous period (whether or not such period occurs in a single computation
period). 

  

	 	(d)	Back Pay. Each hour for which back pay, irrespective of mitigation of damages, is either awarded or agreed to by the Bank; provided, however, Hours of Service credited under paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above
shall not be recredited by operation of this paragraph. 

  
 8 

	 	(e)	Equivalencies. The Administrative Committee shall have the authority to adopt any of the following equivalency methods for counting Hours of Service that are permissible under regulations issued by the Department
of Labor: (i) Working Time; (ii) Periods of Employment; (iii) Earnings; or (iv) Elapsed Time. The adoption of any equivalency method for counting Hours of Service shall be evidenced by a certified resolution of the Committee,
which shall be attached to and made part of the Plan. Such resolution shall indicate the date from which such equivalency shall be effective. 

  

	 	(f)	Miscellaneous. Unless the Administrative Committee directs otherwise, the methods of determining Hours of Service when payments are made for other than the performance of duties and of crediting such Hours of
Service to Plan Years set forth in Department of Labor Regulations Sections 2530.200b-2(b) and (c), shall be used hereunder and are incorporated by reference into the Plan. 

Participants on military leaves of absence who are not directly or indirectly compensated or entitled to be compensated by the Bank while on
such leave shall be credited with Hours of Service as required by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, an Employee shall not be credited with Hours of Service more than once with
respect to the same period of time. 
 2.23 Investment Manager means an investment advisor, bank or insurance company, meeting the
requirements of ERISA Section 3(38), appointed by the Bank to manage the Plans assets in accordance with the Trust Agreement. 
 2.24

“leasing organization”) on a substantially full-time basis for a period of at least one year, provided that such services are performed under primary direction of or control by the “recipient.” 

2.25 Normal Retirement Date means the first day of the calendar month coincident with or following the date on which a Participant
attains age 65. 
 2.26 Participant means an Employee participating in the Plan in accordance with Article III.

 2.28 Plan Year means the calendar year. 

2.29 Suspense Account means the account established and maintained to hold Company Stock acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan
and held in the Trust, which Company Stock has not been allocated to the Accounts of Participants with respect to the year of such acquisition. 

  
 9 

 2.30 Trust or Trust Fund means all property held by the Trustee pursuant to the
terms of the Trust Agreement and this Plan. Such property shall be held for the exclusive benefit of Participants and Beneficiaries. 
 2.31
Trust Agreement means the agreement of trust established by the Bank and the Trustee for purposes of holding title to the assets of the Plan. 

2.32 Trustee means the trustee as named in the Trust Agreement, or a successor thereto or substitute therefor, in any case as appointed

 ARTICLE III 

ELIGIBILITY 
 3.1
Eligibility Generally. An Employee shall become a Participant in the Plan as of the first day of the Plan Year nearest to the later of (a) the first anniversary of his date of hire (the first day on which he completes an Hour of Service)
or (b) the Employee’s 21st birthday. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following individuals shall not be eligible to
participate in the Plan: 
  

	 	(a)	Leased Employees; 

  

	 	(b)	Individuals whose employment with the Bank or an Affiliate is governed by a collective bargaining agreement between the Bank and representatives of the employee bargaining unit if evidence exists that retirement
benefits were a subject of good faith bargaining between the parties, and provided such bargaining agreement does not provide for participation in this Plan; and 

  

	 	(c)	Non-resident aliens who do not receive earned income from sources within the United States. 

3.2 Commencement of Participation. Each Employee who has satisfied the requirements of Section 3.1 of the Plan shall commence
participation in the Plan on the later of the Effective Date or the Entry Date concurrent with or next following the date on which such requirements are satisfied. 

  
 10 

 3.3 Cessation of Participation. An Employee shall cease to be a Participant upon the
earliest of (a) the date on which the Employee retires under the Plan; (b) the date on which the Employee’s employment with the Bank terminates for any reason, including death or Disability; (c) the date on which the
Employee’s employment with the Bank is governed by a collective bargaining agreement that does not provide for participation in this Plan; or (d) the date on which the Employee becomes a “leased employee” as defined in Code
section 414(n). 
 3.4 Participation upon Reemployment. Upon the reemployment of any person after the Effective Date who had
previously been employed by the Bank on or after the Effective Date, the following rules shall apply in determining the Employee’s participation in the Plan under the Plan: 

 

	 	(a)	No Prior Participation. If the reemployed Employee was not a Participant in the Plan during the prior period of employment and the reemployed Employee incurred a Break in Service, only Service with the Bank after
reemployment will count for purposes of meeting the requirements of Section 3.1 of the Plan. If the reemployed Employee was not a Participant in the Plan during the prior period of employment and the reemployed Employee did not incur a Break in
Service, all Service with the Bank (both before and after the Break in Service) will be aggregated for purposes of meeting the requirements of Section 3.1 of the Plan. 

 

	 	(b)	Prior Participation. If the reemployed Employee was a Participant in the Plan during the prior period of employment, the reemployed Employee shall be entitled to resume participation in the Plan on the date of
the Employee’s reemployment. 

  

	 	(c)	Veterans Reemployment Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits, and service credit with respect to qualified military service shall be provided in
accordance with Code section 414(u). 

 3.5 Change in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article III or
any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, no additional Employee shall be eligible to become a Participant in the Plan. 

ARTICLE IV 
 VESTING 

4.1 In General. Each Participant shall have a vested interest in the Participant’s Account, if any, in accordance with the
following vesting schedule: 
  

					
	 Years of Service
	  	Vested Percentage	 
	 0-3 Years of Service
	  	 	0	% 
	 3 or more Years of Service
	  	 	100	% 

 4.2 Normal Retirement Date. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Plan, a
Participant whose employment terminates on or after such Participant’s Normal Retirement Date shall be 100% vested. 

  
 11 

 4.3 Death or Disability. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Plan, a
Participant whose employment is terminated on account of death or Disability shall be 100% vested. 
  

	 	(a)	Death while Performing Qualified Military Service. If a Participant dies while performing qualified military service for a period longer than thirty (30) days, such Participant’s Beneficiary shall be
eligible for any additional benefits (other than benefits accruals relating to the period of qualified military service) that would have been provided under the Plan if the Participant had resumed employment on the day prior to his death and then
terminated employment due to death. 

 4.4 Vesting upon Reemployment. Upon the reemployment of any person after the
Effective Date who had previously been employed by the Bank on or after the Effective Date, the following rules shall apply in determining the reemployed Employee’s vesting in the Plan: 

 

	 	(a)	Five Consecutive Breaks in Service. If a Participant has five consecutive Breaks in Service, all Years of Service after such Breaks in Service will be disregarded for the purpose of vesting the Employer-derived
Account balance that accrued before such Breaks in Service. Both pre-Break and post-Break service, however, will count for the purposes of vesting the Employer-derived Account balance that accrues after such
Breaks in Service. Both Accounts will share in the earnings and losses of the fund. 

  

	 	(b)	Fewer than Five Consecutive Breaks in Service. If a Participant does not have five consecutive Breaks in Service, both the pre-Break and post-Break service will count in
vesting all Account balances. 

 4.5 Forfeiture of Account. If prior to being 100% vested, a Participant terminates
employment for a reason other than death, Disability or attainment of Normal Retirement Date, the nonvested portion will be treated as a forfeiture. Assets in the Participant’s Account other than Company Stock acquired with the proceeds of an
Exempt Loan will be forfeited before Company Stock acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan are forfeited. Forfeitures shall be allocated to the Accounts of Participants who were employed by the Bank on the last day of the Plan Year or, in the
Bank’s discretion, used to pay Plan administrative expenses. Forfeitures allocated to Participants shall be allocated in the ratio that the Compensation of each Participant for such Plan Year bears to the total Compensation of all such
Participants for such Plan Year. For purposes of this Section 4.5, if the value of a Participant’s vested account balance is zero, the participant shall be deemed to have received a distribution of such vested account balance. 

If any former Participant shall be reemployed by the Employer before incurring five consecutive Breaks in Service, and such former Participant
had received, or was deemed to have received, a distribution of the Participant’s entire vested interest prior to reemployment, the forfeited account shall be reinstated upon the reemployment of such Participant. In the event of a deemed
distribution, the undistributed portion of the Participant’s account must be restored in full, unadjusted by any gains or losses occurring subsequent to the Valuation Date coinciding with or next following the Participant’s termination of
employment. The source for such 

  
 12 

 
reinstatement shall be any forfeitures occurring during the Plan Year. If such source is insufficient, then the Employer shall contribute an amount which is sufficient to restore any such
forfeited account provided, however, that if a discretionary contribution is made for such Plan Year pursuant to Section 5.1, such contribution shall first be applied to restoring such accounts and the remainder shall be allocated in accordance
with Section 5.5. 
 4.6 Change in Control. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Plan, a Participant shall
be 100% vested upon a Change in Control. 
 ARTICLE V 

CONTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS 

5.1 Bank Contributions. For each Plan Year, the Bank may contribute cash or shares of Company Stock, or both, to the Plan in such
amounts as may be determined by the Board of Directors. 
 In the event shares of Company Stock are sold to the Trustee for a Plan Year, the
fair market value of such Company Stock shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII. 
 5.2 Time and Manner of
Contributions. All Bank contributions shall be paid directly to the Trustee, and a contribution for any Plan Year shall be made not later than the date prescribed by law for filing the Bank’s Federal income tax return (including extensions,
if any) for the Bank’s taxable year that ends within or with that Plan Year. 
 5.3 Employee Contributions. Participants are
neither permitted nor required to make contributions to the Plan. 
 5.4 Recovery of Contributions. The Bank may recover
contributions to the Plan, only as set forth in this Section 5.4. 
  

	 	(a)	Contributions made to the Plan shall be conditioned upon the initial and continuing qualification of the Plan. If the Plan is determined to be disqualified, contributions made in respect of any period subsequent to the
effective date of such disqualification shall be returned to the Bank. With respect to the initial qualification of the Plan, the Bank may recover contributions only if (i) the Plan receives an adverse determination letter with respect to its
initial qualification and (ii) the application for determination letter is filed within the applicable remedial amendment period that applies to new plans. 

  

	 	(b)	Contributions made to the Plan shall be conditioned upon their deductibility under the Code. To the extent that a deduction is disallowed for any contribution, such amount shall be returned to the Bank within one year
after the disallowance of the deduction. 

  

	 	(c)	If a contribution, or any part thereof, is made on account of a mistake of fact, the amount of the contribution attributable to such mistake shall be returned to the Bank within one year after it is made.

 5.5 Allocation of Employer Contributions. Subject to the limitations set forth in Article
VI, Employer contributions made to the Trust in the form of cash or Company Stock for a Plan Year shall be allocated to the Accounts of Participants in the ratio of the Compensation of each Participant for the Plan Year to the total Compensation of
all Participants for the Plan Year, provided that the Participant has completed 1,000 Hours of Service and is actively employed on the last date of the Plan Year. 

5.6 Income on Investments. The income, gains, and losses attributable to investments under the Plan shall be allocated as of each
Valuation Date or at such other times as the Administrative Committee may determine to the Accounts of Participants and Beneficiaries who have undistributed balances in their Accounts on the Valuation Date, in proportion to the amounts in the
Accounts immediately after the preceding Valuation Date, but after first reducing each Account by any distributions, withdrawals or transfers from the Trust during the interim period and increasing each Account by any transfers to the Trust and by
contributions made to the Trust during the interim period. 
 Distributions from the Plan shall include income, gains, and losses accrued as
of the coincident or immediately preceding Valuation Date, and shall not be adjusted proportionately to reflect any income, gains, or losses accrued after that Valuation Date. All valuations shall be based on the fair market value of the assets in
the Trust on the Valuation Date. 
 5.7 Certain Stock Transactions. Shares of Company Stock received by the Trustee as a result of a
stock split, dividend, conversion, or as a result of a reorganization or other recapitalization of the Bank shall be allocated as of the day on which such shares are received by the Trustee in the same manner as the shares of Company Stock to which
they are attributable are then allocated. 
 5.8 Valuation of Trust Fund. As of each Valuation Date, the Trustee shall determine the
fair market value of the Trust, after deducting withdrawals, distributions, and any expenses of Plan administration paid out of the Trust, and including any contributions allocated to Participants’ Accounts, for the valuation period ending on
the Valuation Date. In determining value, the Trustee may use such generally accepted methods as the Trustee, in its discretion, deems advisable, which, in the case of Company Stock shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII. 

ARTICLE VI 
 MAXIMUM
LIMITATION ON ALLOCATIONS 
 6.1 Participation Solely in This Plan. 

 

	 	(a)	 If the Participant does not participate in, and has never participated in another plan qualified under Code
section 401(a) that is maintained by the Employer, or a “welfare benefit fund” (as defined in Code section 419(e)) maintained by the 

  
 14 

	 	
Employer, or an “individual medical account” (as defined in Code section 415(l)(2)) maintained by the Employer, which provides an Annual Addition, the amount of Annual Additions which
may be credited to the Participant’s Account for any Limitation Year shall not exceed the lesser of the Maximum Permissible Amount or any other limitation contained in the Plan. If the Bank’s contribution that would otherwise be
contributed or allocated to the Participant’s Account would cause the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year to exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, the amount contributed or allocated will be reduced so that the Annual Additions for the
Limitation Year will equal the Maximum Permissible Amount. 

  

	 	(b)	Prior to determining the Participant’s actual Compensation for the Limitation Year, the Bank may determine the Maximum Permissible Amount for a Participant on the basis of a reasonable estimation of the
Participant’s Compensation for the Limitation Year, uniformly determined for all Participants similarly situated. 

  

	 	(c)	As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the Limitation Year, the Maximum Permissible Amount for the Limitation Year will be determined on the basis of the Participant’s actual Compensation for the
Limitation Year. 

 6.2 Participation in Another Defined Contribution Plan. This Section 6.2 applies if a
Participant is also covered under another defined contribution plan or a “welfare benefit fund” (as defined in Code section 419(e)), an “individual medical account” (as defined in Code section 415(l)(2) or a “simplified
employee pension” (as defined in Code section 408(k)) maintained by the Employer which provides an Annual Addition during any Limitation Year. If the Participant participates in one or more such plans, all reductions in Annual Additions shall
be made under such plans and not under this Plan. In the event that, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Annual Additions to be credited under this Plan should exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount, the Annual Additions which would otherwise
be credited to the Participant’s Account under any other such plan shall be reduced prior to making any reduction hereunder, which reduction shall be reduced in the manner set forth in Section 6.1 of the Plan. 

6.3 Definitions. The following definitions apply solely for purposes of this Article VI. 

 

	 	(a)	An “Annual Addition” means the sum of the following amounts credited to a Participant’s Account for the Limitation Year: 

 

	 	(i)	employer contributions 

  

	 	(ii)	employee contributions 

  

	 	(iii)	forfeitures 

  

	 	(iv)	amounts allocated to an individual medical account (as defined in Code section 415(l)(2)) which is part of a pension or annuity plan maintained by the Employer which are treated as Annual Additions to a defined
contribution plan, and 

  
 15 

	 	(v)	amounts derived from contributions paid or accrued, which are attributable to post-retirement medical benefits, allocated to the separate account of a key employee, as defined in Code section 419A(d)(3), under a welfare
benefit fund maintained by the Employer which are treated as Annual Additions to a defined contribution plan. 

  

	 	(vi)	Excess amounts applied to reduce Employer contributions under Sections 6.2 or 6.1 of the Plan in the Limitation Year will be Annual Additions for such Limitation Year. 

 

	 	(b)	“Employer” means the Bank and all members of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Code section 414(b) and modified by Code section 415(h)) all commonly controlled trades or businesses (as defined
in Code section 414(c) as modified by Code section 415(h)), any affiliated service group (as defined in Code section 414(m)) of which the Bank is a part, and any other entity required to be aggregated with the Employer pursuant to regulations under
Code section 414(o). 

  

	 	(c)	“Excess Amount” means the excess of the Participant’s Annual Additions for the Limitation Year over the Maximum Permissible Amount. 

 

	 	(d)	Limitation Year means the calendar year. 

  

	 	(e)	“Maximum Permissible Amount” means the Maximum Annual Additions that may be contributed or allocated to a Participant’s Account for any Limitation Year. Such amount shall not exceed the lesser of:

  

	 	(i)	$54,000 (as adjusted for increases in the cost-of-living under Code section 415(d)), or 

 

	 	(ii)	100% of the Participant’s Compensation for the Limitation Year. 

 The Maximum Permissible
Amount shall be pro-rated in the case of any Limitation Year of less than 12 months created by the changing of the Limitation Year. 

If no more than one-third of Bank contributions to the Plan for a Plan Year which are deductible under
Code section 404(a)(9) are allocated to the Accounts of Participants who are Highly Compensated Employees, there shall be excluded in determining the Maximum Permissible Amount of each Participant for such Plan Year (A) the contributions
applied to the payment of interest on an Exempt Loan; and (B) any forfeitures of Bank contributions if the forfeited contributions were Company Stock acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan.

 ARTICLE VII 

INVESTMENT OF TRUST ASSETS 

All assets of the Plan shall be held in the Trust. To the extent the Trustee deems practical, the Trustee shall use all available cash, as
directed by the Administrative Committee, to purchase Company Stock in open market transactions, from other stockholders or to buy newly issued Company Stock from the Bank. If the purchase is from the Bank or a Disqualified Person, such purchase
shall be for adequate consideration and no commission is to be charged with respect to the purchase. If no such stock is available for purchase, or if the Trustee determines that the purchase of such additional stock is not practical, the Trustee
shall invest in other securities or property, real or personal, consistent with the requirements of Title I of ERISA. These other securities, property and cash shall be held by the Trustee in the Trust. The Trust income shall be allocated as of each
Valuation Date to Participants’ Investment Accounts in accordance with Section 5.6 of the Plan. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

COMPANY STOCK VALUATION 

The fair market value of Company Stock shall be determined, on any relevant day, as follows: (a) if such stock is then traded in the over-the-counter market, the closing sale price (as reported in the National Market System by NASDAQ with respect to such stock) for the most recent date (including such
relevant day) during which a trade in such stock has occurred, or (b) if such stock is then traded on a national securities exchange, the closing sale price for the most recent date (including such relevant date) during which a trade in such
stock has occurred. In accordance with the provisions of Code section 401(a)(28)(C), if Company Stock is not actively traded in the over-the-counter market, or on a
national securities exchange, a valuation of Company Stock required to be made under this Plan shall be made by an independent appraiser who satisfies requirements similar to those contained in regulations issued under Code section 170(a)(1). 

ARTICLE IX 

DISTRIBUTIONS 
 9.1
Termination of Employment. In the event of the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason (including attainment of Normal Retirement Date or on account of death), a Participant shall be entitled to a distribution of all
amounts determined under Article IV that are credited to the Participant’s Account at the times set forth in this Article IX. 
 9.2
Death. Upon the death of a Participant, all amounts credited to the Participant’s Account shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary, determined in accordance with this Section 9.2. 

 

	 	(a)	The Administrative Committee may require such proof of death and such other evidence of the right of any person to receive payment of the Account of a deceased Participant as the Administrative Committee deems
necessary. The Administrative Committee’s determination of death and of the right of any person to receive payment shall be conclusive and binding on all parties. 

  
 17 

	 	(b)	The Beneficiary upon the death of a Participant shall be the Participant’s spouse; provided, however, that the Participant may designate, on a form provided by the Administrative Committee for such purpose, a
Beneficiary other than the Participant’s spouse, if: 

  

	 	(i)	the spouse has waived the right to be the Participant’s Beneficiary in the manner set forth in subsection (c) of this Section 9.2; or 

 

	 	(ii)	the Participant has established to the satisfaction of the Administrative Committee that the Participant has no spouse or that the spouse cannot be located. 

 

	 	(c)	Any consent by a Participant’s spouse to waive a death benefit must be filed with the Administrative Committee in writing, in a manner, and on a form provided by the Committee for such purpose. The spouse’s
consent must acknowledge the effect of the consent and must be witnessed by a notary public or a Plan representative. The designation of a Beneficiary other than the spouse made by a married Participant must be consented to by the Participant’s
spouse and may be revoked by the Participant in writing without the consent of the spouse. Any new beneficiary designation must comply with the requirements of this subsection (c). A former spouse’s waiver shall not be binding on a new spouse.

  

	 	(d)	In the event the designated Beneficiary fails to survive the Participant, or if such designation shall be ineffective for any reason, the Participant’s Account shall be paid in the following order of priority:
first to the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any; second, if there is no surviving spouse, to the Participant’s surviving children, if any, in equal shares; third, if there is neither a surviving spouse nor surviving children, to the
legal representatives of the estate of the Participant. 

 9.3 Time of Payment. The distribution of a
Participant’s Account shall begin as soon as administratively feasible. Unless a Participant elects otherwise, such distribution shall not be later than 60 days after the latest of the close of the Plan Year in which occurs (i) the date on
which the Participant attains Normal Retirement Date, (ii) the 10th anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan, or (iii) the date the Participant terminates service with the Employer. 

9.4 Manner of Making Payments. A Participant’s Account will be distributed in one lump sum. 

9.5 Form of Payment. Distributions of a Participant’s Account balance shall be made in Company Stock. In the event the
Participant’s Account includes securities acquired with the proceeds of the Exempt Loan and such proceeds consist of more than one class of securities, the amount distributed shall include substantially the same proportion of each class of
securities acquired with the proceeds of the Exempt Loan. 
 Such distributions shall be the fair market value of each share multiplied by
the number of shares credited to the Participant’s Account, with appropriate adjustments to reflect intervening stock dividends, stock splits, stock redemptions, or similar changes to the number of

  
 18 

 
outstanding shares. The fair market value of a share shall be determined as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or immediately following the date of the distribution request or, in the case of
a transaction between the Plan and a Disqualified Person, determined as of the date of the transaction. 
 9.6 Direct Rollover. 

 

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this Article IX, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan
Administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover. 

 

	 	(b)	For purposes of this Section 9.6, the following definitions apply: 

  

	 	(i)	“Eligible rollover distribution.” An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover
distribution does not include: any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life
expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee’s designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code section 401(a)(9); a distribution on account
of hardship; or the portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities) and any other distribution(s) that is reasonably
expected to total less than $200 during a year. 

  

	 	(ii)	“Eligible retirement plan.” An eligible retirement plan is an eligible plan under Code section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality
of a state, or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan, an individual retirement account described in Code section 408(a), an individual retirement annuity
described in Code section 408(b), an annuity plan described in Code section 403(a), an annuity contract described in Code section 403(b), a qualified plan described in Code section 401(a), or a Roth IRA described in Code section 408A, that accepts
the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution. The definition of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified
domestic relations order, as defined in Code section 414(p). 

  

	 	(iii)	 “Distributee.” A distributee includes an employee or former employee. In addition, the
employee’s or former employee’s surviving spouse and the 

  
 19 

	 	
employee’s or former employee’s spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code section 414(p), are distributees with
respect to the interest of the spouse or former spouse. A distributee also includes the Participant’s nonspouse designated Beneficiary, in which case, the direct rollover may be made only to an individual retirement account or annuity described
in Code sections 408(a) or 408(b) that is established on behalf of the designated Beneficiary and that will be treated as an inherited IRA pursuant to the provisions of Code section 402(c)(11); provided, however, that the determination of any
required minimum distribution that is ineligible for rollover shall be made in accordance with Notice 2007-7, Q&A 17 and 18. 

 

	 	(iv)	“Direct rollover.” A direct rollover is a payment by the plan to the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee. 

9.7 Diversification Election. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article to the contrary, a Participant who has attained age 55 and
completed at least ten years of participation in this Plan may elect in writing, on a form provided by the Administrative Committee for such purpose, within 90 days after the close of each Plan Year during the Qualified Election Period, to receive a
distribution equal to a portion of the Participant’s interest in the Company Stock Account not in excess of 25% of such interest, less amounts subject to all prior elections under this Section 9.7. Any such distribution will be made in
cash or Company Stock, at the election of the Participant. Upon a Participant’s election to diversify a portion of the Participant’s interest in the Company Stock Account, Company Stock in an amount equal to the portion so elected, valued
as of the Valuation Date concurrent with or immediately following the date of such election will be distributed to the Participant. Starting from the sixth Plan Year during the Qualified Election Period of a Participant, 50% shall be substituted for
25% in the preceding sentence. 
 For purposes of this Section 9.7, Qualified Election Period means, with respect to a Participant, the
period beginning with the later of (a) the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 55 or (b) the Plan Year in which the Participant completes at least ten years of participation in the Plan and ending with the year in which the
Participant terminates employment for any reason. 
 9.8 Election to Retain Interests in Plan. Except for distributions in accordance
with Section 9.7, no distribution shall be made to a Participant before such Participant’s Normal Retirement Date unless (a) the Participant’s prior written consent to the distribution has been obtained by the Administrative
Committee, or (b) the value of the Participant’s vested Account does not exceed $1,000 as of the date of the event giving rise to the distribution. 

9.9 Mandatory Distributions. 
  

	 	(a)	 Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, all amounts credited to a Participant’s Account
shall commence to be distributed not later than the later of (i) April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the 

  
 20 

	 	
Participant attains age 70-1/2 or (ii) the date the Participant retires; except that distributions to a 5% owner (as defined in Code section 416) must
commence by the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such Participant attains age 70-1/2. Any and all subsequent distributions shall be made in accordance with the rules set
forth in Code section 401(a)(9), including the minimum distribution incidental death requirements of Code section 401(a)(9)(G). 

  

	 	(b)	In the event the Participant dies after distributions have commenced under this Article IX but before the Participant’s entire Account is distributed, the remaining portion of the Participant’s Account shall
be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Participant’s death. 

  

	 	(c)	In the event the Participant dies before distributions under this Article IX have commenced, then, unless the Beneficiary of the Participant is the Participant’s spouse, the entire balance in the Account of the
Participant shall be distributed on or before the December 31 of the calendar year in which occurs the fifth anniversary of the death of such Participant. 

  

	 	(d)	If the Participant’s designated Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of such Participant or former Participant, such distribution shall not be required to begin prior to the date on which the Participant or former
Participant would have attained age 70-1/2 (if the surviving spouse dies prior to commencement of distributions to such spouse, then this subsection (i) shall be applied as if the surviving spouse were
the Participant or former Participant). 

 Any amount payable to a child pursuant to the death of a Participant or former
Participant shall be treated as if it were payable to the Participant’s or former Participant’s surviving spouse if such amount would become payable to the surviving spouse upon such child reaching majority (or other designated event
permitted by regulations). 
 Any distribution required under the incidental death benefit requirements of Code section 401(a)(9) shall be
treated as a distribution required under this Section of 9.9. 
 9.10 Dividend Distributions. 

 

	 	(a)	Any cash dividends on Company Stock acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan and held in the Suspense Account shall be applied first to repay the principal and, at the Committee’s discretion, the interest, of
the Exempt Loan. In addition, if any cash dividends on shares of such Company Stock allocated to Participant’s Accounts are used to pay the principal and/or the interest of the Exempt Loan at the Committee’s discretion, Company Stock with
a fair market value not less than the amount of the dividends so used must be allocated to the Participant’s Accounts to which such cash dividends would have been allocated. 

 

	 	(b)	After the payment of the principal and the interest of the Exempt Loan, any remaining cash dividends on Company Stock may be used to purchase Company Stock or allocated to Accounts of Participants in accordance with
subsection (c) below. 

  

	 	(c)	In the case of any cash dividends on Company Stock that are allocable to the Accounts of Participants with respect to vested shares, they may be paid currently (or within 90 days after the end of the Plan Year in which
the dividends are paid to the Trust) as cash, or the Bank may pay such dividends directly to the Participants’ Accounts as the Administrative Committee may determine. 

  
 21 

 9.11 Prohibited Allocations. 

 

	 	(a)	No portion of the assets of the Plan attributable to (or allocable in lieu of) Company Stock acquired by the Plan in a sale to which Code section 1042 applies may be allocated to the Account of (i) any Qualifying
Selling Shareholder during the Nonallocation Period, or (ii) any other person who owns more than 25% of (A) any class of outstanding stock of the Bank or any of its Affiliates, or (B) the total value of any class of outstanding stock
of the Bank or any of its Affiliates. 

  

	 	(b)	For purposes of this Section 9.11, the following initially capitalized words shall carry the following meanings:

	 	(ii)	“Qualifying Selling Shareholder” means any shareholder of Company Stock who makes an election under Code section 1042(a) with respect to Company Stock, or any individual who is related to (within the meaning
of Code section 267(b)) the shareholder of Company Stock as defined above. The term shall not include any lineal descendant of such shareholder or if the aggregate amount allocated to the benefit of all such lineal descendants during the
Nonallocation Period does not exceed more than 5% of Company Stock (or amounts allocated in lieu thereof) held by the Plan which are attributable to a sale to the Plan by any person related to such descendants (within the meaning of Code section
267(c)(4)) in a transaction to which Code section 1042 applied. 

  

	 	(iii)	“Nonallocation Period” means the period beginning on the date of the sale of Company Stock and ending on the later of the date which is 10 years after the date of the sale, or the date of the Plan allocation
attributable to the final payment of acquisition indebtedness incurred in connection with such sale.

 ARTICLE X  

RIGHT TO SELL COMPANY STOCK 

10.1 Put Requirements. 
  

	 	(a)	In the event Company Stock is distributed and is not publicly traded in the over-the-counter market or on a national securities exchange at
the time of distribution, the Participant, former Participant, or Beneficiary shall have an option (the “Put”) to require the Bank to purchase all of the shares actually distributed to such individual. The Put may be exercised at any time
during the Option Period (as defined in subsection (f) below) by giving the Administrative Committee and the Bank written notice of the election to exercise the Put. The Put may be exercised by a former Participant or a Beneficiary only during
the Option Period with respect to which the former Participant or Beneficiary receives a distribution of Company Stock. 

  

	 	(b)	The price paid for Company Stock sold to the Plan or the Bank pursuant to the Put shall be the fair market value of each share multiplied by the number of shares to be sold under the Put, with appropriate adjustments to
reflect intervening stock dividends, stock splits, stock redemptions, or similar changes to the number of outstanding shares. The fair market value of a share shall be determined (A) as of the Valuation Date concurrent with or immediately
preceding the date the Put is exercised, or (B) in the case of a transaction between the Plan and a Disqualified Person, determined as of the date of the transaction. 

 

	 	(c)	If the distribution of Company Stock to a former Participant or Beneficiary constituted a distribution within one taxable year of the balance of the Participant’s Account, the Bank reserves the right to establish
guidelines to be exercised in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, to make payment for the shares subject to the Put on an installment basis in substantially equal annual, quarterly or monthly payments over a period not to exceed five years, such
period beginning no later than 30 days after exercise of the Put. The Bank shall pay reasonable interest at least annually on the unpaid balance of the price and shall provide to the former Participant or Beneficiary adequate security with respect
to the unpaid balance. If the distribution was part of an installment distribution, the Bank shall pay the Participant in cash within 30 days after exercise of the Put. 

 

	 	(d)	The Put shall not be assignable, except that the Participant’s or former Participant’s legal representative (in the event of a Participant’s incapacity) or, the Participant’s Beneficiary (in the
event of a Participant’s or former Participant’s death) shall be entitled to exercise the Put during the Option Period for which it is applicable. 

  

	 	(e)	The Trustee (on behalf of the Plan) in its discretion, may assume the Bank’s obligations under this Section at the time a Participant, former Participant, or Beneficiary exercises the Put, with the Bank’s
consent. If the Trustee assumes the Bank’s obligations, the provisions of this Section that apply to the Bank shall also apply to the Trustee. 

  
 23 

	 	(f)	The Administrative Committee shall notify each Participant, former Participant, and Beneficiary who is eligible to exercise the Put of the fair market value of each share of Company Stock as soon as practicable
following its determination. The Administrative Committee shall send all notices required under this Section to the last known address of a Participant, former Participant, or Beneficiary, and it shall be the duty of those persons to inform the
Administrative Committee of any changes in address. 

  

	 	(g)	For purposes of this Section, the “Option Period” is the period of 60 days following the day on which a Participant, former Participant, or Beneficiary receives a distribution. If such person does not exercise
the Put during that 60-day period, the Option Period shall also be the 60-day period beginning on the first anniversary of the day on which such person received a
distribution. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences, when Company Stock is acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan, the Option Period shall be the 15-month period beginning on the date such Company
Stock is distributed to a Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary). Such 15-month period shall be extended by a period equal to the number of days, if any, during which the Bank is precluded from
honoring the put option by reason of applicable federal or state law. 

 ARTICLE XI 

VOTING AND TENDER OF COMPANY STOCK 

11.1 Voting. 
  

	 	(a)	Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), the Trustee is hereby authorized to vote upon the Company Stock and any other securities comprising the Trust or otherwise consent to or request any action on the part of
the issuer of such securities, and to give general and special proxies or powers of attorney, with or without power of substitution, and to participate in reorganizations, recapitalizations, consolidations, mergers and similar transactions with
respect to such securities; to deposit such securities (if any) in a voting trust, or with any protective or like committee, or with a Trustee, or with depositories designated thereby; and generally to exercise any of the powers of an owner with
respect to such securities which the Trustee deems to be for the best interest of the Trust to exercise. 

  

	 	(b)	 Each Participant shall have the power to instruct the Trustee as to how the Company Stock (including any
fractional shares) held in his Account should be voted at all stockholders’ meetings. The Trustee shall vote such Company Stock in accordance with such instructions. To facilitate such right, the Trustee, with the assistance of the Committee,
shall deliver to each Participant a copy of all proxies, notices and other information which Bancorp distributes to its shareholders generally and the Committee shall establish such procedures for the

  
 24 

	 	
collection of Participants’ instructions in the voting of such Company Stock and the timely transmission of such instructions to the Trustee as it shall determine to be appropriate. Any such
Company Stock with respect to which voting instructions have been sought but have not been timely received by the Trustee shall not be voted by the Trustee. Any Company Stock with respect to which the Trustee has the power to vote but which has not
been allocated to the accounts of any Participant shall be voted by the Trustee in the same proportion as the Trustee is directed to vote the Company Stock with respect to which instructions have been received up to 24 hours before the commencement
of the shareholders’ meeting. In the event no shares have been allocated, the Trustee shall vote all shares of unallocated Company Stock as directed by the Committee. Participants do not acquire ownership of Company Stock held by the Trustee
for their account unless and until the Trustee delivers to them Company Stock certificates which have been registered in their names on the books of Bancorp. 

11.2 Tender Offer or Exchange Offer. In the event of a tender offer or exchange offer by any person (including the Bank or Bancorp) for
any or all shares of Company Stock held in the Trust, each Participant shall have the right and shall be afforded the opportunity to direct in writing whether the Company Stock (including any fractional shares) allocable to his Account shall be
tendered or exchanged in response to such offer. The Trustee shall act with respect to such Company Stock in accordance with such written instructions. Any Company Stock held by the Trustee which is not yet allocable to any Participant’s
Account and Dividend Account and any Company Stock with respect to which written instructions have been sought but have not been timely received by the Trustee shall be tendered or exchanged in the same proportion as the Company Stock which is
allocable to the Participants’ Accounts and Dividend Accounts and with respect to which written instructions have been timely received is being tendered or exchanged. To facilitate the foregoing right of the Participants, the Committee shall
distribute or cause to be distributed to each Participant substantially the same information as may be distributed to Bancorp’s stockholders in connection with such offer and the Committee shall establish such procedures for the collection of
Participants’ instructions with respect to such Company Stock and the timely transmission of such instructions to the Trustee as it shall determine to be appropriate. 

11.3 Fiduciary Responsibilities. Each Participant shall be a “named fiduciary”, within the meaning of ERISA Section 402(a),
with respect to the voting and tender of Company Stock pursuant to this Article. 
 11.4 Confidentiality. Voting instructions
received from Participants and Beneficiaries shall be held in confidence by the Trustee or its delegate for this purpose and shall not be divulged to the Bank or to any officer or employee of the Bank or to any other person. 

ARTICLE XII 
 ADMINISTRATION

 12.1 Fiduciary Responsibilities. A fiduciary shall have only those specific powers, duties, responsibilities and obligations
as are specifically given to such person under the Plan or the Trust. The Bank shall have sole responsibility to make the contributions provided for under 

  
 25 

 
the Plan and, by action of the Board of Directors, to amend or terminate, in whole or in part, the Plan or the Trust. The Board of Directors shall have sole responsibility to appoint and remove
members of the Administrative Committee and the Trustees of the Plan. The Administrative Committee shall have sole responsibility for the general administration of this Plan and for the investment policies of the Plan, for the selection of the
Plan’s investment funds pursuant to the Plan, and for the appointment and removal of any Investment Manager. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement, the Trustee shall have sole responsibility for the administration of the
Trust and the management of the assets held in the Trust, as set forth in the Plan and the Trust. It is intended that each fiduciary shall be responsible for the proper exercise of such fiduciary’s own powers, duties, responsibilities, and
obligations and, except as otherwise provided by law, shall not be responsible for any act or failure to act by another fiduciary. A fiduciary may serve in more than one fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan. A fiduciary of the Plan who is
also an Employee shall not be compensated in such individual’s capacity as fiduciary. 
 12.2 The Administrative Committee. Any
member of the Administrative Committee may resign with 60 days advance written notice to the Board of Directors. The Administrative Committee shall select a Chairman and a Secretary to keep records or to assist it in the discharge of its
responsibilities. The Administrative Committee shall have such duties and powers as are necessary to discharge its responsibilities under the Plan, including, but not limited to, the following: 

 

	 	(a)	To require any person to furnish such information as it requests for the purpose of the proper administration of the Plan; 

  

	 	(b)	To make and enforce such rules and regulations and prescribe the use of such forms as it deems necessary for the efficient administration of the Plan; 

 

	 	(c)	To construe and interpret the Plan, including the right to determine eligibility for participation, eligibility for payment, the amount of benefits payable, the timing of distributions and all other issues arising under
the Plan as well as the right to remedy possible ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions; provided, however, that all such interpretations and decisions shall be applied in a uniform manner to all similarly situated Participants and Beneficiaries;

  

	 	(d)	To employ and rely upon such advisors (including attorneys, independent public accountants, investment advisors and enrolled actuaries) as it deems appropriate or helpful in connection with the operation and
administration of the Plan; 

  

	 	(e)	To maintain complete records of the administration of the Plan; 

  

	 	(f)	To prepare and file with the appropriate governmental agencies such reports as required from time to time with respect to the Plan under ERISA, the Code, or other laws and regulations governing the administration of the
Plan; 

  

	 	(g)	To furnish or disclose to Participants, Employees who may become Participants, and Beneficiaries information about the Plan and statements of accrued benefits under the Plan, in accordance with ERISA, the Code, or other
laws and regulations governing the administration of the Plan; 

  
 26 

	 	(h)	To delegate to one or more members of the Administrative Committee, or to persons other than Administrative Committee members, any authority, duty or responsibility pertaining to the administration or operation of the
Plan; provided, however, that each such delegation shall be made by a written instrument authorized by the Administrative Committee and maintained with the records of the Plan. If any person other than an Employee is so designated, such person must
acknowledge, in writing, acceptance of the duties and responsibilities delegated. All such instruments and acknowledgments shall be considered a part of the Plan; 

 

	 	(i)	To determine, pursuant to procedures adopted by it, whether a state domestic relations order served upon the Plan is a “qualified domestic relations order” (as defined in Code section 414(p)); to place in
escrow any benefits payable in the period during which the Administrative Committee determines the status of an order; and to take any necessary action to administer distributions under the terms of a qualified domestic relations order; and

  

	 	(j)	To discharge any responsibilities which are allocated to the Administrative Committee elsewhere in this Plan. 

All decisions and interpretations of the Administrative Committee shall be binding and shall be entitled to the maximum deference permitted
under the law. 
 12.3 Plan Expenses. All expenses authorized and incurred by the Administrative Committee shall be from the assets
of the Plan, except to the extent such expenses are paid by the Bank. 
 12.4 Meetings and Voting. The Administrative Committee shall
act by a majority vote of its respective members at a meeting or, by written consent of a majority of its members, without a meeting. The Administrative Committee shall hold meetings, as deemed necessary by them, although any member may call a
special meeting of the committee by giving reasonable notice to the other members. The Secretary of the Administrative Committee shall have authority to give certified notice in writing of any action taken by the committee. 

12.5 Compensation. The members of the Administrative Committee, if Employees, shall serve without compensation. 

12.6 Claims Procedures. 
  

	 	(a)	Any Participant or Beneficiary (“Claimant”) may file a written claim for a benefit under the Plan with the Administrative Committee or with a person named by the Administrative Committee to receive such
claims; 

  

	 	(b)	 In the event of a denial or limitation of any benefit or payment due or requested by any Claimant, such Claimant
shall be given a written notification containing 

  
 27 

	 	
specific reasons for the denial or limitation of the benefit. The written notification shall contain specific reference to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial or limitation is
based. In addition, it shall contain a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect a claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary. Further, the notification shall provide
appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit such claim for review. This written notification shall be given to a Claimant within 90 days after receipt of the claim by the Administrative Committee (or its
delegatee to receive such claims), unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. If such an extension of time is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the
termination of the 90-day period and such notice shall indicate the special circumstances which make the postponement appropriate; 

 

	 	(c)	In the event of a denial or limitation of benefits, the Claimant or the Claimants duly authorized representative shall be permitted to review pertinent documents and to submit issues and comments in writing to the
Administrative Committee. In addition, the Claimant or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative may make a written request for a full and fair review of the claim and its denial by the Administrative Committee; provided, however, that such
written request must be received by the Administrative Committee (or its delegatee to receive such requests) within 60 days after receipt by the Claimant of written notification of the denial or limitation. The
60-day requirement may be waived by the Administrative Committee in appropriate cases; and 

  

	 	(d)	A decision shall be rendered by the Administrative Committee within 60 days after the receipt of the request for review; provided, however, that where special circumstances require an extension of time for processing
the decision, it may be postponed, on written notice to the Claimant (prior to the expiration of the initial 60-day period) for an additional 60 days, but in no event shall the decision be rendered more than
120 days after the receipt of such request for review. However, if the Administrative Committee holds regularly scheduled meetings at least quarterly to review such appeals, a Claimant’s request for review shall be acted upon at the meeting
immediately following the receipt of the Claimant’s request unless such request is filed within 30 days preceding such meeting. In such instance, the decision shall be made no later than the date of the second meeting following the receipt of
such request by the Administrative Committee (or its delegatee to receive such requests). If special circumstances require a further extension of time for processing a request, a decision shall be rendered not later than the third meeting of the
Administrative Committee following the receipt of such request for review, and written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. 

 

	 	(e)	Any decision by the Administrative Committee shall be furnished to the Claimant in writing and in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and shall set forth the specific reason(s) for the decision and the
specific Plan provision(s) on which the decision is based. 

  
 28 

 12.7 Liabilities. The Administrative Committee, each member or former member of such
Committee, and each person to whom duties and responsibilities have been delegated under the Plan shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Bank, to the fullest extent permitted by ERISA, other applicable laws, and the charter and By-laws of the Bank. 
 ARTICLE XIII 

AMENDMENTS 
 13.1 Right
to Amend. Except as otherwise set forth in this Article XIII or as may be required by law, the Board of Directors reserves the right to amend the Plan at any time and in any manner, without prior notification, consultation, or bargaining with
any Employee or representative of Employees by written resolution of the Board of Directors adopted at a duly convened meeting of the Board of Directors in accordance with the By-Laws of the Bank and the laws
of the State of Delaware. To the extent required by the Code or ERISA, no amendment to the Plan shall decrease a Participant’s benefit or eliminate an optional form of distribution. No amendment shall make it possible for any assets of the Plan
to be used for or diverted to any purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of Participants and Beneficiaries. 
 13.2 Amendment by
Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee may adopt any ministerial and nonsubstantive amendment it deems necessary or appropriate to (a) facilitate the administration, management and interpretation of the Plan,
(b) conform the Plan to current practice, or (c) cause the Plan and its related Trust to qualify under Code sections 401(a)(1), 501(a) and 4975(e)(7) or to comply with ERISA or any other applicable laws; provided that such amendment does
not have any material effect on the estimated cost to the Bank of maintaining the Plan. 
 13.3 Plan Merger and Asset Transfers. No
assets of the Trust shall be merged or consolidated with, nor shall any assets or liabilities be transferred to any other plan, unless the benefits payable to each Participant or Beneficiary, if this Plan were terminated immediately after such
action, would be equal to or greater than the benefits such individuals would have been entitled to receive if this Plan had been terminated immediately before such action. 

13.4 Amendment of Vesting Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no amendment to the Plan shall have the effect of
decreasing a Participant’s nonforfeitable percentage determined without regard to such amendment as of the later of the date such amendment is adopted or the date it becomes effective. If the Plan’s vesting schedule is amended, or the Plan
is amended in any way that directly or indirectly affects the computation of a Participant’s nonforfeitable percentage, each Participant with at least 3 Years of Service may elect, within a reasonable period after the adoption of the amendment,
to have the nonforfeitable percentage computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. The Participant’s election may be made at any time during the period ending on the latest of: 

 

	 	(a)	60 days after the amendment is adopted; 

  

	 	(b)	60 days after the amendment becomes effective; or 

  

	 	(c)	60 days after the Participant is issued written notice of the amendment by the Bank or the Administrative Committee.

 ARTICLE XIV 

TERMINATION 
 14.1 Right
to Terminate. While the Bank intends the Plan to be permanent, the Board of Directors reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, without prior notification, consultation, or bargaining with any Employee or representative of Employees
by written resolution of the Board of Directors adopted at a duly convened meeting of the Board of Directors in accordance with the By-laws of the Bank and the laws of the State of Delaware. 

14.2 Effect of Termination. If the Plan is terminated, contributions shall cease, and the assets remaining in the Trust, after payment
of any expenses, including expenses of administration or liquidation, shall be retained in the Trust for distribution in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Upon termination (including a partial termination), or upon the complete discontinuance
of contributions by the Bank, all Participants shall be 100% vested in their Accounts.

criminal conviction involving the Plan, a civil judgment in connection with a violation or alleged violation of fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA, or a settlement agreement between the Participant and the Department of Labor in connection with
a violation or alleged violation of fiduciary responsibilities under ERISA), Section 1.401(a)-13(b)(2) of Treasury regulations (relating to Federal tax levies and judgments), or as otherwise required by law,

in any manner to anticipate, transfer, assign (either at law or in equity), alienate or subject to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution, or other legal or equitable process, or in any way encumber the Participant’s benefits under the Plan,
or any part thereof, and any attempt to do so shall be void. 
 15.2 Appointment of Guardian. Where it is established to the
satisfaction of the Administrative Committee that a guardian has been duly appointed on behalf of a person entitled to a distribution under the Plan, the Administrative Committee may cause payment to be made to the guardian for the benefit of the
entitled person. The Administrative Committee shall have no responsibility with respect to the application of amounts so paid. 
 15.3
Satisfaction of Benefit Claims. The assets of the Trust shall be the sole source of benefits under this Plan, and each Participant or any other person who shall claim the right to any payment or benefit under this Plan shall be entitled to
look only to the Trust for such payment or benefit, and shall not have any right, claim or demand against the Bank or any officer or director of the Bank. Such Participant or person shall not have a right to or interest in any assets of the Trust,
except as provided from time to time under this Plan. 

  
 30 

 15.4 Controlling Law. The provisions of the Plan shall be construed, administered and
enforced under the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware. 
 15.5 Non-Guarantee of

to discharge any of its Employees, with or without cause. 
 15.6 Severability and Construction of the Plan. 

 

	 	(a)	If any provision of the Plan or the application of it to any circumstance(s) or person(s) is invalid, the remainder of the Plan and the application of such provision to other circumstances or persons shall not be
affected thereby. 

  

	 	(b)	Unless the context otherwise indicates, the masculine wherever used shall include the feminine and neuter; the singular shall include the plural; and words such as herein, hereof, hereby, hereunder and words of similar
import shall refer to the Plan as a whole and not any particular part of it.

ARTICLE XVI 
 TOP-HEAVY PROVISIONS 
 16.1 Determination of Top-Heavy
Status. 
  

	 	(a)	Any provision of this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, for any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, the provisions of this Article shall apply. The provisions of
this Article shall have effect only to the extent required under Code section 416. This Plan shall be deemed a Top-Heavy Plan only with respect to any Plan Year in which, as of the Determination Date, the Top-Heavy Ratio exceeds 60%. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Plan is not included in a Required Aggregation Group with other plans, then it shall be Top-Heavy only if (i) when considered by itself it is a Top-Heavy Plan and (ii) it is not included in a Permissive Aggregation Group that is not a Top-Heavy Group. 

 

	 	(c)	If the Plan is included in a Required Aggregation Group with other plans, it shall be Top-Heavy only if the Required Aggregation Group, including any permissively aggregated
plans, is Top-Heavy. 

  
 31 

 16.2 Top-Heavy Definitions. Solely for purposes of
this Article, the following words and phrases shall have the following meaning; 
  

	 	(a)	“Aggregation Group or Top Heavy Group” means either a Required Aggregation Group or a Permissive Aggregation Group. 

  

	 	(b)	“Bank” means the Bank and all members of a controlled group of corporations (as defined in Code section 414(b) as modified by Code section 415(h)), all commonly controlled trades or businesses (as defined in
Code section 414(c) as modified by Code section 415(h)), or affiliated service groups (as defined in Code section 414(m)) of which the Bank is a part. 

  

	 	(c)	“Determination Date” means, with respect to any Plan Year, the last day of the preceding Plan Year or in the case of the first Plan Year of any plan, the last day of such Plan Year or such other date as
permitted under rules issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. 

  

	 	(d)	“Key Employee” means any employee or former employee (including any deceased employee) who at any time during the Plan Year that includes the Determination Date was an officer of the Bank having annual
compensation greater than $130,000 (as adjusted under Code section 416(i)(1)), a five percent owner of the Bank, or a one percent owner of the Bank having annual compensation of more than $150,000. For this purpose, annual compensation means
compensation within the meaning of Code section 415(c)(3). The determination of who is a Key Employee will be made in accordance with Code section 416(i)(1) and the applicable regulations and other guidance of general applicability issued
thereunder. 

  

	 	(e)	“Non-Key Employee” means any Employee who is not a Key Employee. 

  

	 	(f)	“Permissive Aggregation Group” means a Required Aggregation Group plus any other plans maintained and selected by the Bank; provided that all such plans when considered together satisfy the requirements of
Code sections 401(a)(4) and 410. 

  

	 	(g)	“Required Aggregation Group” means each qualified plan of the Bank in which at least one Key Employee participates or which enables any plan in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements of
Code sections 401(a)(4) or 410. 

  

	 	(h)	“Top-Heavy Ratio” means: 

  

	 	(i)	 If the Bank maintains one or more defined contribution plans (including any Simplified Employee Pension Plan) and
the Bank has not maintained 

  
 32 

	 	
any defined benefit plan which during the 5-year period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Account balances of all Key Employees as of the Determination Date(s) (including any part of any Account balance distributed in the 1-year period (5-year period in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or disability) ending on the Determination Date(s)),
and the denominator of which is the sum of all Account balances (including any part of any Account balance distributed in the 1-year period (5-year period in the case of
a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or disability) ending on the Determination Date(s)), both computed in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. Both the numerator and denominator of
the Top-Heavy Ratio are increased to reflect any contribution not actually made as of the Determination Date, but which is required to be taken into account on that date under Code section 416 and the
regulations thereunder. 

  

	 	(ii)	If the Bank maintains or has maintained one or more defined benefit plans which during the 5-year period ending on the Determination Date(s) has or has had any accrued benefits,
the Top-Heavy Ratio for any required or permissive aggregation group as appropriate is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of Account Balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans
for all Key Employees, determined in accordance with (i) above, and the present value of accrued benefits under the aggregated defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees as of the Determination Date(s), and the denominator of which is
the sum of the Account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Participants, determined in accordance with (i) above, and the present value of accrued benefits under the defined benefit plan or plans for all
Participants as of the Determination Date(s), all determined in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. The accrued benefits under a defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are increased for any distribution of an accrued benefit made in the 1-year period (5-year period in the case of a
distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death or disability) ending on the Determination Date. 

  

	 	(iii)	 For purposes of (i) and (ii) above the value of Account balances and the present value of accrued benefits
will be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within or ends with the 12-month period ending on the Determination Date, except as provided in Code section 416 and the regulations
thereunder for the first and second plan years of a defined benefit plan. The Account balances and accrued benefits of a Participant (1) who is not a Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (2) who has not been credited
with at least one hour of service with any Employer maintaining the plan at any time during the 1-year 

  
 33 

	 	
period ending on the Determination Date will be disregarded. The calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and
transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance with Code section 416 and the regulations thereunder. Deductible employee contributions will not be taken into account for purposes of computing the
Top-Heavy Ratio. When aggregating plans the value of Account balances and accrued benefits will be calculated with reference to the Determination Dates that fall within the same calendar year.

 The accrued benefit of a Participant other than a Key Employee shall be determined under (1) the method, if any, that
uniformly applies for accrual purposes under all defined benefit plans maintained by the employer, or (2) if there is no such method, as if such benefit accrued not more rapidly than the slowest accrual rate permitted under the fractional rule
of Code section 411(b)(1)(C). 
  

	 	(iv)	“Valuation Date” means, for purposes of determining if the Plan is Top-Heavy, the most recent Valuation Date in the period of twelve months ending on the Determination
Date. 

 16.3 Top-Heavy Rules. For any year in which a Plan is determined to be
a Top-Heavy Plan the following rules shall apply: 
  

	 	(a)	For each Plan Year in which the Plan is Top-Heavy, minimum contributions for a Participant who is a Non-Key Employee shall be required to
be made on behalf of each Participant who is employed by the Bank on the last day of the Plan Year. The amount of the minimum contribution shall be the lesser of the following percentage of compensation: 

 

	 	(i)	3%, or 

  

	 	(ii)	the highest percentage at which Contributions are made under the Plan for the Plan Year on behalf of any Key Employee. 

  

	 	(A)	For purposes of this paragraph (ii), all defined contribution plans included in a Required Aggregation Group shall be treated as one plan. 

 

	 	(B)	This paragraph (ii) shall not apply if the Plan is included in a Required Aggregation Group and the Plan enables a defined benefit plan included in the Required Aggregation Group to meet the requirements of Code
sections 401(a)(4) or 410. 

  

	 	(C)	If the highest percentage at which Contributions are made under the Plan for a top-heavy Plan Year on behalf of Key Employees is less than 3%, the amounts contributed as a result
of a salary reduction agreement must be included in determining Contributions made on behalf of Key Employees. 

  
 34 

 Any contributions that must be made under this subsection (a) shall be made under the Ponce
De Leon Bank 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. 
  

	 	(b)	The vesting schedule when the Plan is Top-Heavy is as follows: 

  

					
	 Years of Service After the Effective Date
	  	Vested Percentage	 
	 0-1 Years of Service
	  	 	0	% 
	 2 Years of Service
	  	 	20	% 
	 3 or more Years of Service
	  	 	100	% 

 ARTICLE XVII 

EXEMPT LOANS 
 17.1
General. The Trustee shall have the authority and discretion to borrow money from a Disqualified Person, or another source which is guaranteed by a Disqualified Person for the purpose of (a) purchasing Company Stock, or (b) repaying
a prior Exempt Loan. Any Exempt Loan shall satisfy all of the requirements of this Article XVII. 
 17.2 Terms of Exempt Loan
Agreements. All Exempt Loans shall satisfy the following requirements: 
  

	 	(a)	The loan shall be primarily for the benefit of Participants and their Beneficiaries. 

  

	 	(b)	The loan shall be for a specified term and shall bear no more than a reasonable rate of interest. 

  

	 	(c)	The proceeds of an Exempt Loan shall be used to purchase Company Stock within a reasonable period of time following receipt. 

  

	 	(d)	The collateral pledged by the Trustee shall consist only of the Company Stock purchased with the borrowed funds, or Company Stock that was pledged as collateral in connection with a prior Exempt Loan that was repaid
with the proceeds of the current Exempt Loan. 

  

	 	(e)	Under the terms of the agreement, the lender shall have no recourse against the Trust, or any of its assets, except with respect to the collateral and contributions (other than contributions of Company Stock) by the
Bank that are made to satisfy its obligations under the loan agreement and earnings attributable to such collateral and such contributions. 

  

	 	(f)	The payments made on the loan during a Plan Year shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of such contributions and the earnings received during or prior to the year less such payments on the exempt loan in prior
years. 

  

	 	(g)	In the event of default, the value of the assets transferred in satisfaction of the loan shall not exceed the amount of default; moreover, if the lender is a Disqualified Person, the loan agreement shall provide for a
transfer of assets upon default only upon and to the extent of the failure of the Plan to meet the payment schedule of the loan. 

  
 35 

 17.3 Prohibition on Purchase Arrangements. Except as provided in Article X and as
hereinafter provided in this Article XVII, no Company Stock shall be subject to a put, call, or other option, or buy-sell or similar arrangement while held by and when distributed from the Trust, whether or
not at the time of distribution the Plan is an employee stock ownership plan. These protections and rights which attach to Company Stock acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan shall not be terminable. 

17.4 Suspense Account. 
  

	 	(a)	Bank contributions made to the Trust in the form of Company Stock purchased with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan shall be held in the Suspense Account as the collateral for that Exempt Loan. Such stock shall be released
from the Suspense Account on a pro-rata basis according to the amount of the payment on the Exempt Loan for the Plan Year, determined under one of the following two alternative formulas in the discretion of
the Administrative Committee: 

  

	 	(i)	for each Plan Year during the duration of the Exempt Loan, the number of shares of Company Stock released shall equal the number of such shares held in the Suspense Account immediately before release for the current
Plan Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of principal and interest paid for the year and the denominator of which is the sum of the numerator plus the remaining principal and interest to be paid for all future years.
The number of future years under the Exempt Loan must be definitely ascertainable and must be determined without taking into account any possible extensions or renewal periods. If the interest rate under the loan is variable, the interest to be paid
in future years must be computed by using the interest rate applicable as of the end of the Plan Year. If the collateral includes more than one class of Company Stock, the number of shares of each class to be released for a Plan Year must be
determined by applying the same fraction to each class; or 

  

	 	(ii)	for each Plan Year during the duration of the Exempt Loan, the number of shares of Company Stock released is determined solely with reference to the principal payment of the Exempt Loan. If Company Stock in the Suspense
Account is released in accordance with this subsection (ii), (A) the Exempt Loan must provide for annual payments of principal and interest at a cumulative rate that is not less rapid at any time than level annual payments of such amounts for 10
years; and (B) interest included in any payment is disregarded only to the extent that it would be determined to be interest under standard loan amortization tables. This subsection (ii) will not be applicable if by reason of a renewal,
extension, or refinancing, the sum of the expired duration of the Exempt Loan, the renewal period, the extension period, and the duration of a new Exempt Loan exceeds 10 years. 

 

	 	(b)	Shares of Company Stock released in accordance with Section 17.4(a) of the Plan shall then be allocated to the Accounts of Participants first, in an amount equal in value to any dividends paid on shares previously
allocated to Participant’s Accounts that are used to repay the Exempt Loan. The remaining shares of such stock shall be allocated to the Accounts of Participants in the same manner as described in Section 5.5. 

  
 36 

 17.5 Sale of Financed Shares. In the event the Plan receives an offer to participate in a
corporate transaction (i.e., a stock sale, asset sale, merger or consolidation) before all the shares of Company Stock have been released from the Suspense Account, the Trustee may enter into an agreement for the sale of all Company Stock which is
not allocated to the accounts of Participants, and use the proceeds thereof to repay an Exempt Loan. Any proceeds of the sale of unallocated Company Stock which is not required to repay the Exempt Loan, will be allocated as earnings to
Participant’s Accounts.

 ARTICLE II 

PARTICIPATION 
 2.1
Eligibility for Participation. Only Eligible Employees may be or become Participants. An Employee shall become an Eligible Employee if: 
  

	 	(a)	he has been designated an Eligible Employee by resolution of the Compensation Committee; and 

  

	 	(b)	he is a Participant in the ESOP and the benefits to which he is entitled thereunder are limited by one or more of the Applicable Limitations; 

provided, however, that no person shall be named an Eligible Employee, nor shall any person who has been an Eligible Employee continue as an Eligible
Employee, to the extent that such person’s participation, or continued participation, in the Plan would cause the Plan to fail to be considered maintained for the primary purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of
management or highly compensated employees for purposes of ERISA. 
 2.2 Commencement of Participation. An Employee shall become a
Participant on the date when he first becomes an Eligible Employee, but not earlier than the Effective Date.

Participation. Participation in the Plan shall cease on the earliest of (a) the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service; (b) the date on which he or she ceases to be an Eligible Employee; or (c) the date the Plan is
terminated. 
 ARTICLE III 

BENEFITS TO MEMBERS 
 3.1
Supplemental ESOP Benefits. 
  

	 	(a)	A Participant whose benefits under the ESOP are limited by one or more of the Applicable Limitations shall be eligible for a supplemental ESOP benefit under this Plan in an amount equal to the sum of: 

 

	 	(i)	a number of Stock Units equal to the excess (if any) of (A) the aggregate number of Shares (including any reallocation of Shares forfeited upon the termination of employment of others participating in the ESOP and
any allocation of Shares upon full repayment of any loan by the ESOP) that would have been credited to the Participant’s account under the ESOP in the absence of the Applicable Limitations over (B) the number of Shares actually credited to
his account under the ESOP; plus 

  

	 	(ii)	 if and to the extent that Company Contributions to the ESOP result in allocations to the Participant’s
account of assets other than Shares, an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (A) the aggregate amount of Company Contributions (including any reallocation of 

  
 3 

	 	
amounts forfeited upon the termination of employment of others participating in the ESOP and any allocation of cash upon full repayment of any loan by the ESOP) that would have been credited to
the Participant’s account under the ESOP in the absence of the Applicable Limitations over (B) the aggregate amount of Company Contributions (including any reallocation of amounts forfeited upon the termination of employment of others
participating in the ESOP) actually credited to the Participant’s account under the ESOP; adjusted for earnings and losses as provided Section 3.1(b) 

  

	 	(b)	The Committee shall cause to be maintained a bookkeeping account to reflect all Shares and Company Contributions (including any reallocation of amounts forfeited upon the termination of employment of others
participating in the ESOP) that cannot be allocated to a Participant’s account under the ESOP due to the Applicable Limitations and shall cause such bookkeeping account to be credited with such Company Contributions and Stock Units reflecting
such Shares as of the date on which such Company Contributions and Shares, respectively, would have been credited to the Participant’s account in the ESOP in the absence of the Applicable Limitations. The balance credited to such bookkeeping
account shall be adjusted for earnings or losses as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	all Stock Units shall be adjusted from time to time so that the value of a Stock Unit on any date is equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date, and the number of Stock Units shall be adjusted as and when
appropriate to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, exchange, conversion, or other event generally affecting the number of Shares held by all holders of Shares; and 

 

	 	(ii)	the balance credited to such bookkeeping account that does not consist of Stock Units shall be credited with interest as of the last day of each calendar quarter at the highest rate of interest credited on certificates
of deposit issued by the Bank during that calendar quarter. 

  

	 	(iii)	In the event PDL Community Bancorp declares any cash dividends on its Shares, the Stock Units in the bookkeeping account established for each Participant under this Plan shall be credited with dividend equivalent
amounts equal to the cash dividends that would be payable if the Stock Units were outstanding Shares and such amounts shall be converted to additional Stock Units at Fair Market Value on the date the cash dividend is otherwise payable to the
shareholders of PDL Community Bancorp. 

  

	 	(c)	 The vested supplemental ESOP benefit payable to a Participant hereunder shall be paid in a single lump sum within
90 days following the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs and shall be in an amount equal to the balance credited to his 

  
 4 

	 	
bookkeeping account; provided, however, that if at the time of a Participant’s Separation from Service, the Participant is considered a “specified employee” within the meaning of
section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then no such payment shall be payable prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) the date following the date that is six months after the Participant’s Separation from Service, or (ii) the
Participant’s death. The vesting determination of a Participant’s supplemental ESOP benefit shall be made in the same manner as under the ESOP. 

ARTICLE IV 
 DEATH BENEFITS

 A Participant may designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive any benefits payable under the Plan following his or her death.
Any such designation, or change therein or revocation thereof, shall be made in writing in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee, shall be revocable until the death of the Participant, and shall thereafter be irrevocable; provided,
however, that any change or revocation shall be effective only if received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death. If a Participant shall die without having effectively named a Beneficiary, he or she shall be deemed to have named his
estate as his sole Beneficiary. If a Participant and his designated Beneficiary shall die in circumstances which give rise to doubt as to which of them shall have been the first to die, the Participant shall be deemed to have survived the
Beneficiary. If a Participant designates more than one Beneficiary, all shall be deemed to have equal shares unless the Participant shall expressly provide otherwise. 

ARTICLE V 
 TRUST FUND 

5.1 Establishment of Trust. The Company may establish a trust fund which may be used to accumulate funds to satisfy benefit liabilities
to Participants and their Beneficiaries under the Plan; provided, however, that the assets of such trust shall be subject to the claims of the creditors of the Bank in the event that it is determined that the Bank is insolvent; and provided,
further, that the trust agreement shall contain such terms, conditions and provisions as shall be necessary to cause the Bank to be considered the owner of the trust fund for federal, state or local income tax purposes with respect to all amounts
contributed to the trust fund or any income attributable to the investments of the trust fund. The Company shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining such trust. Any payments made to a Participant or Beneficiary from a
trust established under this Section 5.1 shall offset payments which would otherwise be payable by the Company in the absence of the establishment of such trust. Any such trust will conform to the terms of the model trust prescribed by Revenue
Procedure 92-64, as the same may be modified from time to time. 
 5.2 Contributions to
Trust. If a trust is established in accordance with Section 5.1, the Company shall make contributions to such trust in such amounts and at such times as may be specified by the Committee or as may be required pursuant to the terms of the
agreement governing the establishment and operation of such trust. 

  
 5 

 5.3 Unfunded Character of Plan. Notwithstanding the establishment of a trust pursuant to
Section 5.1, the Plan shall be unfunded for purposes of the Code and ERISA. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to benefits payable under the Plan shall be based solely upon such contractual obligations, if any, as shall be
created by the Plan, and shall give rise only to a claim against the general assets of the Company. No such liability shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or any other encumbrance on any specific property of the Company. 

ARTICLE VI 
 ADMINISTRATION

 6.1 The Committee. The administration of the Plan shall be the responsibility of the Committee. The Committee shall have the
power and the duty to take all actions and to make all decisions necessary or proper to carry out the Plan. The determination of the Committee as to any question involving the general administration and interpretation of the Plan shall be final,
conclusive and binding. Any discretionary actions to be taken under the Plan by the Committee shall be uniform in their nature and applicable to all persons similarly situated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall
have the following powers: 
  

	 	(a)	to furnish to all Participants, upon request, copies of the Plan and to require any person to furnish such information as it may request for the purpose of the proper administration of the Plan as a condition to
receiving any benefits under the Plan; 

  

	 	(b)	to make and enforce such rules and regulations and prescribe the use of such forms as it shall deem necessary for the efficient administration of the Plan; 

 

	 	(c)	to interpret the Plan, and to resolve ambiguities, inconsistencies and omissions, and the determinations of the Committee in respect thereof shall be binding, final and conclusive upon all interested parties;

  

	 	(d)	to decide on questions concerning the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan (including facts necessary to administer the Plan); 

 

	 	(e)	to determine the amount of benefits which shall be payable to any person in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, to hear and decide claims for benefits, and to provide a full and fair review to any Participant
whose claim for benefits has been denied in whole or in part; 

  

	 	(f)	to designate a person, who may or may not be a member of the Committee, as “plan administrator” for purposes of the ERISA; 

 

	 	(g)	to allocate any such powers and duties to or among individuals of the Committee; and 

  

	 	(h)	the power to designate persons other than Committee members to carry out any duty or power which would otherwise be a responsibility of the Committee or Administrator, under the terms of the Plan. 

  
 6 

 6.2 Liability of Committee Participants and Their Delegates. To the extent permitted by
law, the Committee and any person to whom it may delegate any duty or power in connection with administering the Plan, the Company, and the officers and directors thereof, shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon, and shall be fully protected in
any action taken or suffered by them in good faith in the reliance upon, any actuary, counsel, accountant, other specialist, or other person selected by the Committee, or in reliance upon any tables, valuations, certificates, opinions or reports
which shall be furnished by any of them. Further, to the extent permitted by law, no member of the Committee, nor the Company, nor the officers or directors thereof, shall be liable for any neglect, omission or wrongdoing of any other members of the
Committee, agent, officer or employee of the Company. Any person claiming benefits under the Plan shall look solely to the Company for redress. 

6.3 Plan Expenses. All expenses incurred prior to the termination of the Plan that shall arise in connection with the administration of
the Plan (including, but not limited to administrative expenses, proper charges and disbursements, compensation and other expenses and charges of any actuary, counsel, accountant, specialist, or other person who shall be employed by the Committee in
connection with the administration of the Plan), shall be paid by the Company. 
 ARTICLE VII 

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 

7.1 Amendment by the Company. The Company reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and from to time, by
action of the Board, to amend the Plan in whole or in part. In no event, however, shall any such amendment adversely affect the right of any Participant, former Participant or Beneficiary to receive any benefits under the Plan in respect of
participation for any period ending on or before the later of the date on which such amendment is adopted or the date on which it is made effective. 

7.2 Termination. The Company also reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, by action of the Board, to terminate the
Plan. In such event, undistributed benefits attributable to participation prior to the date of termination shall be distributed in accordance with Section 3.1(c); provided however that benefit payments may be accelerated to the extent permitted by
section 409A of the Code. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

8.1 Construction and Language. Wherever appropriate in the Plan, words used in the singular may be read in the plural, words used in
the plural may be read in the singular, and the masculine gender may be read as referring equally to the feminine gender or the neuter. Any reference to an Article or section shall be to an Article or section of the Plan, unless otherwise indicated.
If there is any conflict between such headings and the text of the Plan, the text shall control. 

  
 7 

 8.2 Headings. The headings of Articles and sections are included solely for convenience of
reference. If there is any conflict between such headings and the text of the Plan, the text shall control. 
 8.3 Non-Alienation of Benefits. Except as may otherwise be required by law, no distribution or payment under the Plan to any Participant or Beneficiary shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation,
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, whether voluntary or involuntary, and any attempt to so anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same shall be void; nor shall any such distribution or
payment be in any way liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person entitled to such distribution or payment. If any Participant or Beneficiary is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate,
alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge encumber or charge any such distribution or payment, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment or may hold or cause to be held or applied
such distribution or payment, or any part thereof, to or for the benefit of such Participant or Beneficiary, in such manner as the Committee shall direct; provided, however, that no such action by the Committee shall cause the acceleration or
deferral of any benefit payments from the date on which such payments are scheduled to be made. 
 8.4 Severability. A determination
that any provision of the Plan is invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. 

8.5 Waiver. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Plan shall not be deemed a
waiver of such term, covenant or condition. A waiver of any provision of the Plan must be made in writing, designated as a waiver, and signed by the party against whom its enforcement is sought. Any waiver or relinquishment of any right or power
hereunder at any one or more times shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or times. 
 8.6
Governing Law. The Plan shall be construed, administered and enforced according to the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof, except to the extent that such laws are preempted by
federal law. Any payments made pursuant to this Plan are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including 12 C.F.R. Part 359. 

8.7 Withholding. Payments from this Plan shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local income withholding taxes. 

8.8 No Deposit Account. Nothing in this Plan shall be held or construed to establish any deposit account for any Participant or any
deposit liability on the part of the Company. Participants’ rights hereunder shall be equivalent to those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. 

8.9 Rights of Employees. No Employee shall have any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan except in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan. The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring upon any Employee or other person any legal right to a continuation of employment or to any terms or conditions of employment, nor as limiting or qualifying
the right of the Company to discharge any Employee. 

  
 8 

 8.10 Status of Plan Under ERISA. The Plan is intended to be (a) to the
maximum extent permitted under applicable laws, an unfunded, non-qualified excess benefit plan as contemplated by section 3(36) of ERISA for the purpose of providing benefits in excess of the limitations
imposed under section 415 of the Code, and (b) to the extent not so permitted, an unfunded, non-qualified plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for highly
compensated employees, as contemplated by sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA. The Plan is not intended to comply with the requirements of section 401 (a) of the Code or to be subject to Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA. The Plan
shall be administered and construed so as to effectuate this intent. 
 8.11 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of the Plan will
inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Participants and their respective legal representatives and testate or intestate distributes, and the Company and its successor and assigns, including any successor by merger or consolidation or a
statutory receiver or any other person or firm or corporation to which all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company may be sold or otherwise transferred. 

8.12 Claims Procedures. If a Participant, Beneficiary, alternate payee or their authorized representative asserts a right to benefit
under the Plan which has not been received, the Claims Procedures under the ESOP shall govern. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Ponce De Leon Federal
Bank has caused this Plan to be duly executed on its behalf this      day of             , 2017.
