service area) used in the course and scope of his employment.

 

2.               The last sentence of Section 4.3 of

Executive for the remainder of the Post-Employment Covered Period.

 

6.               Section 5.2
of the Agreement is amended to read in the entirety as follows:

 

Termination without Cause:  In the event the Board of Directors of the
Bank determines that either (i) the continued association of the Executive
with the Bank or (ii) the performance of his duties by the Executive is
not in the best interest of the Bank, then the Bank may terminate this
Agreement by action of its Board of Directors. 
In the event of such termination without cause, and subject to any
limitation of payments to Officers and Directors under applicable Federal and
State law, the Executive shall be paid within 10 business days of such
termination (except if Executive is a Specified Employee in which case
Executive shall be paid at such time as set forth in Section 6.12 of this
amended Agreement) as and for severance payments and in lieu of any and all
other compensation, remedy or damages under this Agreement

coverage provided for a period of the lesser of (i) 12 months plus one additional
month for each year of service or (ii) the maximum applicable continuation
coverage period under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1985.  Upon such payment, any and all
obligations of the Bank to the Executive shall have been fully and completely
satisfied and the Executive shall be entitled to no additional compensation,
claim, right or benefit hereunder or otherwise.

the Bank.

 

A
change in ownership of The Bank Holdings (“Company”) or the Bank occurs on the
date that any person (or group of persons) acquires ownership of stock of the
Company or the Bank that, together with stock held by such person or group,
constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or
total voting power of the stock of the Company or the Bank, respectively.

 

B.                                     A Change in Effective Control of the Company

A

recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company or the
Bank, respectively that have a total gross fair market value equal to, or more
than, forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the
assets of the Company or the Bank, respectively immediately prior to such
acquisition or acquisitions.

 

For the purpose of this Agreement, transfers of the outstanding voting
securities of the Company or the Bank made on account of deaths or gifts,
transfers between family members, former spouses or transfers to a qualified
retirement plan maintained by the Company or the Bank shall not be considered
in determining whether there has been a Change in Control.

 

In the event of any Change in Control and subject to any limitation of
payments to officers and directors under applicable Federal and State law, the
Executive shall be paid within 10 business days of the effective date of such

of the Agreement is amended in the entirety to read as follows:

 

Termination by the Executive:   The
Executive may terminate his employment hereunder at any time upon ninety (90)
days written notice to the Bank.  In such
event, the Executive shall be entitled to all salary, bonus and other benefits
(accrued vacation, etc.), which have accrued prior to the effective date of
termination and shall be paid such amount entitled within 10 days of
termination of employment, except if Executive is a Specified Employee and any
part of the bonus or other benefits compensation is considered deferred
compensation under Section 409A of the Code in which case Executive shall
be paid such deferred compensation at such time as set forth in Section 6.12
in this amended Agreement.  Any stock options
shall only be exercised in accordance with “The Bank Holdings Stock Option Plan”
referenced and incorporated in this Agreement.

 

9.               The
first sentence of the first paragraph of Section 6.1 of the Agreement is
amended in the entirety to read as follows:

 

If any portion of the amounts payable to the Executive under this
Agreement as a result of a Change in Control as defined in Section 5.4 of
this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments or benefits which
are “contingent on change in ownership or control” would constitute “excess
parachute payments” that are subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999
(or similar tax and/or assessments) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (Code) then such payments shall either be (i) paid in full, or (ii) reduced
to an amount equal to two hundred ninety-nine percent (299%) of the Executive’s
“base amount”, whichever of the foregoing payments, taking into account the
applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by
Code section 4999, results in the receipt by the Executive on an after-tax
basis of the greatest amount of benefits.

 

10.         The
first sentence of the second paragraph of Section 6.1 of the Agreement is
amended in the entirety to read as follows:

 

Any determination required under this Section 6.1 shall be made in
writing by the Bank’s independent public accountants immediately prior to a
Change in Control (“Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and
binding upon the Executive and the Bank for all purposes.

 

11.         The
Agreement is amended by adding a new Section 6.12 to read as follows:

 

Delayed Payments for Specified Employees.  In the event that §409A of the Code applies to
any compensation paid to Executive with respect to a Separation of Service and
no exception under §409A is applicable as determined by Bank counsel, payment
of that compensation shall be delayed if Executive is a “specified employee,”
as defined in § 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code.  Such delay shall last six months from the
date of Separation of Service.  On the
day following the end of the six-month period, the Bank shall make a catch-up
payment to Executive equal to the total amount of such payments that would have
been made during the six-month period but for this Section 6.12.

 

6

 

The term “Separation from Service” means the termination of the
Executive’s employment with the Bank for reasons other than death or
Disability.  Whether a Separation from
Service takes place is determined based on the facts and circumstances
surrounding the termination of the Executive’s employment and whether the Bank
and the Executive intended for the Executive to provide significant services
for the Bank following such termination. 
A termination of employment and Separation of Service is presumed to
have occurred if the level of bona fide services provided by the Executive
permanently decreases to no more than 20% of the average level of services
rendered during the previous 36 months of employment (or if employed less than
36 months, such lesser period), and no Separation of Service is presumed to
have occurred if the Executive continues to provide services to the Bank at the
level that is 50% or more of the average level of services provided during the
previous 36 months of employment (or if employed less than 36 months, such
lesser period).

 

12.         The
Agreement is amended by adding a new Section 6.13 to read as follows:

 

Compliance with Section 409A.  This
Agreement shall at all times be administered in compliance with the
requirements of §409A of the Code and any and all regulations thereunder,
including such regulations as may be promulgated after the date of the
Agreement.

 

Except as amended
hereby, the provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect and the
enforceability thereof is not affected by this Amendment.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
parties to this Amendment have duly executed this Amendment as of the day and
year first above written.

been made during the six-month period but for this Section 6.12.

 

The term “Separation from
Service” means the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Bank for
reasons other than death or Disability. 
Whether a Separation from Service takes place is determined based on the
facts and circumstances surrounding the termination of the Executive’s
employment and whether the Bank and the Executive intended for the Executive to
provide significant services for the Bank following such termination.  A termination of employment and Separation of
Service is presumed to have occurred if the level of bona fide services
provided by the Executive permanently decreases to no more than 20% of the average
level of services rendered during the previous 36 months of employment (or if
employed less than 36 months, such lesser period), and no Separation of Service
is presumed to have occurred if the Executive continues to provide services to
the Bank at the level that is 50% or more of the average level of services
provided during the previous 36 months of employment (or if employed less than
36 months, such lesser period).

 

14.         The
Agreement is amended by adding a new Section 6.13 to read as follows:

 

Compliance

Except as amended hereby, the provisions of the
Agreement remain in full force and effect and the enforceability thereof is not
