when the “person” becomes such a “beneficial owner”. The term “person” includes a group referred to in Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, or any similar successor rule, as in effect when the group becomes such a

 3. Eligibility. 
  
 Such key employees of the
Employer as are selected by the Committee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan provided they complete such forms as the Committee may require. 
  
 The Committee may require as a condition of eligibility that certain employees, specified by the committee, waive, effective as of January 1, 1988,
certain existing deferred compensation agreements or arrangements they may have with the Employer, and agree to payment under this 

  

 4 

 
Plan of any or all amounts deferred pursuant to such agreements and arrangements. However, the form and timing of payments under this Plan of any such
amounts previously deferred will be as provided in the existing agreements or arrangements except as provided in Sections 10 and 13. 
  
 4. Elective Deferrals. 
  
 A Participant may elect to defer such portion of his or her Salary or Bonus otherwise payable in or for a calendar year as the Committee may prescribe
prior to the start of such calendar year. 
  
 5. Deferral Elections.

  
 A Participant’s election of deferral under Section 4
shall be in the form prescribed by the Committee. The election of deferral must be filed prior to the first day of the calendar year for which the Salary or Bonus is earned. Each election shall specify the percentage or amount of the
Participant’s Salary or Bonus to be credited to his or her Deferral Account instead of being paid currently to the Participant, and the form and timing of the distributions in respect of such deferral. Each election shall be binding with
respect to the Salary and Bonus for such period (not less than one year) as the Committee shall specify (the “Deferral Period”) and shall be irrevocable after January 1 of the calendar year to which it applies, or in the case of a Deferral
Period of more than one year, January 1 of the first calendar year to which it applies. 
  
 6. Deferral Account. 
  
 The Employer shall
maintain one or more Deferral Accounts on behalf of each Participant as follows: 
  
 (a) Opening Balance. If the Participant has deferred compensation prior to January 1, 1988 pursuant to one or more agreements or arrangements with his or her Employer and has agreed to the modification of such
agreements or arrangements pursuant to the second paragraph 

  

 5 

 
of Section 3, the Employer shall credit to a Deferral Account for the Participant the amount credited to the Participant’s account or accounts as of
December 31, 1987 under such prior agreements or arrangements. 
  
 (b) Deferrals. On and after January 1, 1988 the Employer shall credit to a separate Deferral Account for the Participant the amounts of Salary or Bonus, as applicable, which the Participant elected to defer, as of the dates the
Salary or Bonus would have been payable if not deferred. 
  
 (c)
Employer Credits. As of the end of each calendar year, the Employer shall credit to the Deferral Account of each eligible Participant maintained under Section 6(b) for such year the sum of (i) and (ii) below, minus (iii) below, where (i) is
such amount as would have been contributed by the Employer on behalf of the Participant as a matching contribution under the Participant’s 401(k) Plan for such year but for the limitations imposed upon such 401(k) Plan by section 415 or by the
nondiscrimination requirements of sections 401(k) or 401(m) of the Code; (ii) is an amount equal to a percentage to be specified by the Committee of the Participant’s Salary deferred under this Plan for such year; provided, that the sum
of (i) and (ii) shall not exceed six percent of the Participant’s Salary for such year or such other percentage or amount as may be determined by the Committee; and (iii) is such offsets or reductions as may be specified by the Committee. The
Committee may impose such conditions on eligibility for the Employer credits pursuant to this Section as it determines in its sole discretion. The Employer shall notify each Participant if additional amounts are to be credited to his or her Deferral
Account for any year pursuant to this Section. To the extent specified by the Committee, the Employer will also credit to the Deferral Account of each affected Participant such amounts as may be necessary to 

  

 6 

 
restore any contribution or benefit the Participant may lose under any tax-qualified plans maintained by the Employer as a result of the Participant’s
deferrals under the Plan. 
  
 (d) Interest. Subject to
Section 15 and the remaining provisions of this paragraph, at the end of each month the Employer shall credit to each of the Participant’s Deferral Accounts an amount equal to the amount in such Deferral Account as of the end of the immediately
preceding calendar month without regard to interest credited pursuant to this sentence for the current calendar year times one-twelfth of the lesser of (i) 65% of the Declared Rate or (ii) six percent. The interest credits shall be compounded
annually. If the Participant should terminate employment with the Employer after the Participant’s 55th birthday and during or after the last year of the most recent Deferral Period for which the Participant has made an election, or on account
of death prior to retirement or Disability of at least thirty (30) months’ duration, the interest credited to the Participant’s Deferral Accounts for all years (and fractional years expressed in days) of his or her participation in the
Plan shall be recalculated in the manner described in the first sentence of this paragraph at 130% times the Declared Rate for each such year. Interest shall continue to be credited pursuant to this paragraph until the commencement of benefits.

  
 7. Form and Timing of Distributions. 
  
 (a) Retirement, Disability or Termination of Employment. Upon the
Participant’s retirement, Disability or termination of employment for reasons other than death, the Participant shall be entitled to receive the balance in each of his or her Deferral Accounts calculated as of the last day of the calendar
quarter preceding the event that gives rise to the distribution. Each Deferral Account shall be payable as the Participant shall have specified in his or her election of deferral from among the forms prescribed by the Committee and, if payment is
made other than 

  

 7 

 
in an immediate lump sum, shall be adjusted to reflect continued interest credits in such manner as the Committee shall prescribe. Payment shall be made or
commence as soon as practicable following the event giving rise to the distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, except as provided in Sections 10 and 13, payment of the amount credited to any Participant as an opening balance under
Section 6(a) plus interest credited thereon pursuant to Section 6(d) shall be made in the form elected by the Participant under his or her, agreements or arrangements existing prior to January 1, 1988. 
  
 (b) Death. If the Participant dies prior to the commencement of
payment of his or her Deferral Accounts as described in Section 7(a), the Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive a ten-year certain annuity payable in level quarterly amounts with an assumed rate of
10% interest credited and compounded quarterly. The principal used to calculate the quarterly payments will be the balance in the Participant’s Deferral Accounts as of the date of death, including interest recalculated in the manner described
in Section 6(d) at 130% of the Declared Rate for each year (and fractional years expressed in days) of his or her participation in the Plan, plus any deferrals of Salary or Bonus which the Participant had elected to make but did not complete because
of his or her death and the matching credits which the Employer would have added to the Deferral Accounts had the Participant completed his or her final Deferral Period. For purposes of the preceding sentence, it will be assumed that the Participant
would have continued to earn the same Salary during the remainder of the Deferral Period as he or she earned at the time of death and that he or she would have received the same Bonus amount for each year remaining in the Deferral Period as the
Bonus received for the year of death. If the Participant dies after payment of his or her Deferral Accounts has commenced but prior to the exhaustion of any such Account, payment of the remaining balance 

  

 8 

 
of such Account shall continue to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries in the form selected by the Participant. 
  
 8. Emergency Benefit. 
  
 If a Participant suffers a financial emergency, upon the written request of the Participant the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may distribute to the Participant at such time as the Committee may prescribe that portion of his or her Deferral Accounts, if any, which the Committee determines is necessary to meet the immediate financial emergency. For purposes of
this Section, a Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall include interest credited in the manner described in Section 6(d) at the lesser of 65% of the Declared Rate or 6% for each year (and fractional years expressed in days) of his or her
participation in the Plan, unless the Participant shall have attained age 55 prior to the filing of the written request, in which case the interest in his or her Deferral Accounts shall be recalculated in the manner described in Section 6(d) at 130%
of the Declared Rate for each year (and fractional years expressed in days) of the Participant’s participation in the Plan. A financial emergency shall include major uninsured medical expense or education of the Participant or the
Participant’s spouse or dependent, the purchase of a principal residence for the Participant, and such other financial emergencies as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine, provided that the Participant demonstrates to the
Committee’s satisfaction that he or she lacks available resources to meet the emergency. Any such distribution shall reduce the balance in the Participant’s Deferral Accounts available for distribution in accordance with Section 7.

  
 9. Administration of the Plan. 
  
 The Committee shall oversee the administration of the Plan by the
Bank’s Human Resources Department. The Committee shall have the exclusive power to interpret the Plan and 

  

 9 

 
to decide all matters under the Plan. Such interpretation and decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants and any person claiming
under or through any Participant. The Committee shall exercise its discretion under the Plan in such manner as it determines appropriate and may, in its discretion, waive the application of any rule to any Participant. The Committee shall have no
responsibility to exercise its discretion in a uniform manner among similarly situated Participants, and no decision with respect to any Participant shall give any other Participant the right to have the same decision applied to him or her.

  
 10. Nature of Claim for Payments. 
  
 Except as herein provided the Employer shall not be required to set aside or
segregate any assets of any kind to meet any of its obligations hereunder, and all obligations of the Employer hereunder shall be reflected by book entries only. The Participant shall have no rights on account of this Plan in or to any specific
assets of the Employer. Any rights that the Participant may have on account of this Plan shall be those of a general, unsecured creditor of the Employer. 
  
 The Corporation may establish a trust of which the Corporation is treated as the owner under Subpart E of Subchapter J, Chapter 1 of the Code (a
“grantor trust”), and may from time to time deposit funds in such trust to facilitate payment of the benefits provided under the Plan. In the event the Corporation establishes such a grantor trust with respect to the Plan and at the time
of a Change of Control, such trust (i) has not been terminated or revoked and (ii) is not “fully funded” (as hereinafter defined), the Corporation shall within ten days of such Change of Control, or if a majority of the Continuing
Directors has determined pursuant to Section 2(m) above that an event does not constitute a Change of Control and subsequently revokes such determination within 10 days of such revocation, deposit in such grantor trust assets sufficient to 

  

 10 

 
cause the trust to be “fully funded” as of the date of the deposit. For purposes of this paragraph, the grantor trust shall be deemed “fully
funded” as of any date if, as of that date, the fair market value of the assets held in trust with respect to this Plan is not less than the aggregate present value as of that date of (1) all benefits then in pay status under the Plan
(including benefits not yet commenced but in respect of Participants who have retired, died or otherwise terminated employment under circumstances entitling them to such benefits hereunder) plus (2) all benefits that would be payable under the Plan
if all other Participants were deemed to have retired or terminated employment (other than by reason of death) under circumstances entitling them to benefits on that date. In applying the preceeding sentence, the value of Deferral Accounts shall
include interest recalculated in the manner described in Section 6(d) at 130% of the Declared Rate for each year (and fractional years expressed in days) of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, whether or not such rate would in fact
apply were such Accounts to become payable, and present value shall be determined by using the Bank’s base rate in effect on the day of the Change of Control. 
  
 In the event a grantor trust is established and, following a Change of Control, the Corporation obtains an opinion of
counsel acceptable to itself and to the trustee of such trust, that the Plan would be deemed “funded” for purposes of Title I of ERISA by reason of such trust, or that amounts held by the grantor trust with respect to the Plan would by
reason of the existence of such trust be includible in the income of Participants prior to distribution, and as a result thereof the grantor trust is terminated, all Deferral Accounts, to the extent of the assets then held in such trust, shall
become payable in the form of lump sum distributions. In such event, the interest credited to the Deferral Accounts of the Participants shall be recalculated in the manner 

  

 11 

 
described in Section 6(d) at 130% of the Declared Rate for each year (and fractional years expressed in days) of the Participant’s participation in the
Plan. 
  
 11. Rights Are Non-Assignable. 
  
 Neither the Participant nor any beneficiary nor any other person shall have
any right to assign or otherwise alienate the right to receive payments hereunder, in whole or in part, which payments are expressly agreed to be non-assignable and non-transferable, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. 
  
 12. Taxes. 
  
 If the Employer is required to withhold taxes from payments under the Plan, the amounts payable to Participants shall be
reduced by the tax so withheld. 
  
 13. Termination; Amending. 

 
 The Plan shall continue in effect until terminated by action of the Board
of Directors of the Corporation. Upon termination of the Plan, no deferral of Salary or Bonuses thereafter paid to a Participant shall be made and no individual not a Participant as of the date of termination shall become a Participant thereafter.
If, at the time of termination, there is any Participant or beneficiary of a Participant who is or will be entitled to a payment hereunder, the Committee shall elect either (a) to make payments to such Participants or beneficiaries in the normal
course as if the Plan had continued in effect, or (b) to pay to such Participants or beneficiaries the balance in the Participant’s Deferral Accounts in single lump-sum payments. For purposes of calculating the lump-sum payment referred to in
the preceding sentence, the interest credited to the Deferral Accounts of any Participant who had not died, terminated employment or retired prior to the termination of the Plan shall be recalculated in the manner described in Section 6(d) 

  

 12 

 
at 130% of the Declared Rate for each year (and fractional years expressed in days) of his or her participation in the Plan. 
  
 The Committee may at any time and from time to time amend the Plan in any
manner; provided that, subject to Section 15, no such amendment shall reduce the amounts previously credited to the Deferral Account of any Participant, including interest calculated pursuant to Section 6(d), for periods prior to the date of such
amendment, or change the time or form of payment hereunder; and provided, further, that no amendment shall eliminate or reduce the Corporation’s obligation to deposit assets in the grantor trust as described in Section 10 in the event of a
Change of Control. The Retirement Plan Committee of the Bank may make nonmaterial changes to the Plan. 
  
 14. Employment Rights. 
  
 Nothing in this Plan shall give any Participant any right to be employed or to continue employment by the Employer. 
  
 15. Change in or Interpretation of Law. 
  
 It is contemplated that in connection with its obligations under the Plan, the Employer may invest in one or more insurance contracts on the lives of the
Participants or may otherwise invest its assets in a manner calculated to provide an after-tax yield sufficient to meet its obligations hereunder. In the event of any change in the federal income tax law or regulations which the Committee, in its
judgment, determines will increase the after-tax cost of the Plan to the Employer, or will reduce the after-tax yield from any such contracts or other investments, the Committee reserves the right, in its discretion, to reduce the Declared Rate
appropriately to reflect the Employer’s increased cost, including, if the Committee deems it necessary, on a retroactive basis. In the event of any change in or interpretation of law which, in the opinion of 

  

 13 

 
counsel acceptable to the Committee, would cause the Plan to be other than an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred
compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees (such an unfunded plan being hereinafter referred to as an “exempt plan”) and to be subject to the funding requirements of Title I of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act, as amended (“ERISA”), the Committee may terminate the participation of such Participants as may be necessary to preserve or restore the Plan’s status as an exempt plan and may accelerate payment of their Deferral
Accounts or take such other action as may be necessary to preserve or restore such status. If payments to any Participant are accelerated in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Participant’s Deferral Accounts will include interest
recalculated in the manner described in Section 6(d) at 130% of the Declared Rate for each year (and fractional years expressed in days) of the Participant’s participation in the Plan. 
  
 16. Forfeitures. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any benefits payable to a Participant hereunder may be forfeited,
discontinued or reduced prior to a Change of Control, if the Committee determines, in its discretion, based on the advice and recommendation of management, that (i) the Participant has been convicted of a felony, (ii) the Participant has failed to
contest a prosecution for a felony, or (iii) the Participant has engaged in willful misconduct or dishonesty, any of which is directly harmful to the business or reputation of the Corporation. Following a Change of Control, a Participant’s
benefits may be forfeited, discontinued or reduced only if the Participant has been convicted of a felony or has failed to contest a prosecution for a felony.

to receive the Prior Plan Bonus Annuity (if any) determined in accordance with Section 5, reduced as set forth below, and the balance in his or her Cash Balance Bonus Account determined as of the date benefits commence. If the payment of benefits
commences prior to the Participant attaining age 65, the Prior Plan Bonus Annuity shall be automatically reduced to reflect an early commencement date by applying the applicable percentage factor from the following table:

 The Prior Plan Bonus
Annuity and Cash Balance Bonus Account shall be paid in the same form, on the same dates and over the same period as payment under the Retirement Plan, with the exception that the optional form of payment described in Section 7.4(c) of the
Retirement Plan is not available as a distribution option. If the Bonus Account is paid in a form 

  

 6 

 
other than a Lump Sum, such Bonus Account shall be converted into an annuity form by applying the same factors and assumptions as provided under Section 4.2
of the Retirement Plan. 
  

	 	(b)	Death. 

  
 If the Participant dies prior to the commencement of payment of benefits hereunder, the Participant’s spouse and/or designated beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the following benefits: 
  
 (i) Prior Plan Bonus Annuity 
  
 The Participant’s spouse, if any, shall be entitled to an annuity equal
to the annuity (if any) such spouse would have received in respect of the remainder (if any) of the Participant’s Prior Plan Bonus Annuity had the Participant terminated employment on the day before his death, survived to age 55, begun
receiving it in the 50% joint and survivor annuity form described in Section 7.2 of the Retirement Plan (except that if the Participant had at least 20 Years of Vesting Service he shall be deemed instead to have elected a 100% qualified joint and
survivor annuity described in Section 7.4 (a)), and died immediately thereafter. Years of Vesting Service under this Plan shall mean the number of Years of Vesting Service credited under the Retirement Plan. 
  
 (ii) Cash Balance Bonus Account. 
  
 The Participant’s spouse or designated beneficiary shall be entitled to
receive the balance of such Participant’s Bonus Account in such form as selected by the Participant’s spouse or designated beneficiary and permitted under the terms of the Retirement Plan. 
  
 If the Participant dies after the commencement of benefits hereunder, no
death benefit shall be payable hereunder except as provided under a joint and survivor annuity form or other 

  

 7 

 
form of benefit selected by the Participant at the time of commencement of benefits prior to his or her death. 
  

	7.	Administration of the Plan. 

  
 The Committee shall oversee the administration of the Plan by the Bank’s Human Resources Department. The Committee shall have the exclusive power to
interpret the Plan and to decide all matters under the Plan. Such interpretation and decision shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants and any person claiming under or through any Participant. The Committee shall exercise its
discretion under the Plan in such manner as it determines appropriate and may, in its discretion, waive the application of any rule to any Participant. The Committee shall have no responsibility to exercise its discretion in a uniform manner among
similarly situated Participants, and no decision with respect to any Participant shall give any other Participant the right to have the same decision applied to him or her. 
  

	8.	Nature of Claim for Payments. 

  
 Except as herein provided the Employer shall not be required to set aside or segregate any assets of any kind to meet any of its obligations hereunder,
and all obligations of the Employer hereunder shall be reflected by book entries only. The Participant shall have no rights on account of this Plan in or to any specific assets of the Employer. Any rights that the Participant may have on account of
this Plan shall be those of a general, unsecured creditor of the Employer. 
  
 The Bank may establish a trust of which the Bank is treated as the owner under Subpart E of Subchapter J, Chapter 1 of the Code (a “grantor trust”), and may from time to time deposit funds in such trust to
facilitate payment of the benefits provided under the Plan. In the event the Bank establishes such a grantor trust with respect to the Plan and, at the time of a Change of 

  

 8 

 
Control, such trust (i) has not been terminated or revoked and (ii) is not “fully funded” (as hereinafter defined), the Bank shall within ten days
of such Change of Control, or if a majority of the Continuing Directors has determined pursuant to Section 2(k) above that an event does not constitute a Change of Control and subsequently revokes such determination, within 10 days of such
revocation, deposit in such grantor trust assets sufficient to cause the trust to be “fully funded” as of the date of the deposit. For purposes of this paragraph, the grantor trust shall be deemed “fully funded” as of any date
if, as of that date, the fair market value of the assets held in trust with respect to this Plan is not less than the aggregate present value as of that date of (1) all benefits then in pay status under the Plan (including benefits not yet commenced
but in respect of Participants who have retired, died or otherwise terminated employment under circumstances entitling them to such benefits hereunder) plus (2) all benefits that would be payable under the Plan if all other Participants were deemed
to have retired or terminated employment (other than by reason of death) under circumstances entitling them to benefits on that date. In applying the preceding sentence, the Bank shall apply such interest, mortality or other assumptions as shall
have been specified by the Board of Directors of the Bank prior to the Change of Control. If, prior to the Change of Control, the Bank has deposited in such grantor trust amounts estimated to be sufficient to cause the trust to be “fully
funded,” the Bank shall be under no obligation following the Change of Control to deposit additional amounts in trust. If the Board of Directors has not specified the assumptions to be used in funding the grantor trust (and amounts estimated to
be sufficient to cause the trust to be “fully funded” have not been deposited), then for purposes of the funding obligations under this paragraph the Bank shall first determine the value of each Prior Plan Bonus Annuity and Bonus Account,
then determine the benefits that would be payable in the future in respect of such benefits, and then determine the present value of such benefits by 

  

 9 

 
applying (i) as an interest assumption, the Bank’s base rate in effect on the date of the Change of Control, and (ii) as a mortality assumption (to the
extent applicable), the mortality assumptions used in determining actuarial equivalency among annuity benefits under the Bank’s defined benefit Retirement Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control, or if no such plan is then
in effect, the mortality assumptions used as of such date by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in determining the present value of benefits upon plan termination. 
  
 In the event a grantor trust is established and, following a Change of Control, the trustee of such trust determines, based
on a change in the federal tax or revenue laws, a published ruling or similar announcement issued by the Internal Revenue Service, a regulation issued by the Secretary of the Treasury, a decision by a court of competent jurisdiction involving a
Participant or a beneficiary, or a closing agreement made under section 7121 of the Code that is approved by the Internal Revenue Service and involves a Participant or a beneficiary, that amounts held by the grantor trust with respect to the Plan
would by reason of the existence of such trust be includible in the income of Participants, Prior Plan Bonus Annuities and Bonus Accounts of the affected Participants and beneficiaries, to the extent of the assets held in such trust, shall become
payable in the form of lump sum distributions. 
  

	9.	Rights Are Non-Assignable. 

  
 Neither the Participant nor any beneficiary nor any other person shall have any right to assign or otherwise alienate the right to receive payments
hereunder, in whole or in part, which payments are expressly agreed to be non-assignable and non-transferable, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. 
  

 10 

	10.	Taxes. 

  
 If the Employer is required to withhold taxes from payments under the Plan, the amounts payable to Participants shall be reduced by the tax so withheld.

  

	11.	Termination; Amending. 

  
 The Plan shall continue in effect until terminated by action of the Board of Directors of the Bank. Upon termination of the Plan, no further benefit shall
be accrued hereunder. If, at the time of termination, there is any Participant or beneficiary of a Participant who is or will be entitled to a payment hereunder, the Committee shall elect either (a) to make payments to such Participants or
beneficiaries in the normal course as if the Plan had continued in effect, or (b) to pay to such Participants or beneficiaries the balance of the Participant’s payments in single lump-sum payments. 
  
 The Committee may at any time and from time to time amend the Plan in any
manner; provided, that no such amendment shall reduce the amounts previously credited on behalf of any Participant for periods prior to the date of such amendment, and provided further, that no such Amendment made after a Change of Control shall
eliminate or reduce the Bank’s obligation to deposit assets in the grantor trust as described in Section 8 in the event of a Change of Control. The Retirement Plan Committee of the Bank may make nonmaterial changes to the Plan. 
  

	12.	Employment Rights. 

  
 Nothing in this Plan shall give any Participant any right to be employed or to continue employment by the Employer. 
  

 11 

	13.	Change of Status. 

  
 In the event a Participant ceases to be eligible to participate in the Plan (as determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 3 above) prior to
termination of employment or death, the following rules shall apply: (i) the individual shall forthwith cease to accrue service for purposes of determining Years of Benefit Service under Section 5 (relating to the Prior Plan Bonus Annuity); (ii) the
individual shall continue to receive interest credits as determined under Section 4(b), but shall not be eligible for any other credits to his or her Bonus Account. The amount of benefit, if any, to which a former Participant shall be entitled upon
subsequent determination of employment or death shall be determined in accordance with the generally applicable provisions of the Plan. 
  

	14.	Forfeitures. 

  
 A Participant shall forfeit any and all benefits provided hereunder if such Participant retires or otherwise terminates employment (other than by reason
of death) prior to attaining age 55. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything
in this Plan to the contrary, any benefits payable to a Participant hereunder may be forfeited, discontinued or reduced prior to a Change of Control, if the Committee determines, in its discretion, based on the advice and recommendation of
management, that (i) the Participant has been convicted of a felony, (ii) the Participant has failed to contest a prosecution for a felony, or (iii) the Participant has engaged in willful misconduct or dishonesty, any of which is directly harmful to
the business or reputation of the Corporation. Following a Change of Control, a Participant’s benefits may be forfeited, discontinued or reduced only if the Participant has been convicted of a felony or has failed to contest a prosecution for a
felony.
