except as noted in Schedule 5.4, and is duly qualified as a foreign entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction

has the legal power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact
the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement or the Guaranty, and the Notes, as applicable,

    Note Purchase Agreement
 

    

Section 5.2.Authorization, Etc. This Agreement,
the Guaranty and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary legal action on the part of the Obligors party thereto, and
this Agreement and the Guaranty constitute, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and
binding obligation of each Obligor party thereto enforceable against the Obligor party thereto in accordance with its terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether
such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

Section 5.3.Disclosure. This Agreement, the
financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers
by or on behalf of the Company and the Parent Guarantor prior to June 3, 2016 in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby and identified in Schedule 5.3 (this Agreement and such documents, certificates or other writings and such financial
statements delivered to each Purchaser being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken
as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents,
since December 31, 2015, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects
of the Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries except changes that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Company or the Parent Guarantor that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.

 

Section 5.4.Organization and Ownership of Shares
of Subsidiaries . (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of (i) the

Parent Guarantor, the Company and each other Subsidiary and whether such Subsidiary is a Subsidiary Guarantor and (ii) the
Parent Guarantor’s directors and senior officers.

 

(b)All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar
equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being owned by the Parent Guarantor or the Company and their
respective Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Parent Guarantor or another
Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien that is prohibited by this Agreement.

 

(c)Each Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity
duly organized, validly existing and, where applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and
is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and, where applicable, is in good standing in each jurisdiction
in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in
good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such
Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold
under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

or other restriction (other than the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 and customary limitations imposed by corporate law

of profits to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests
of such Subsidiary.

 

Section 5.5.Financial Statements; Material Liabilities.

the Company) as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows
for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods
involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end
adjustments). The Parent Guarantor, the Company and their Subsidiaries do not have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed
in the Disclosure Documents.

 

Section 5.6.Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments,
Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Obligors of this Agreement, the Guaranty and the Notes, to the extent that
they are a party thereto, will not (a) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the
creation of any Lien in respect of any property of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries under, any indenture, mortgage, deed
of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter, regulations or by-laws, partnership agreement, limited
liability company agreement, shareholders agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries
is bound or by which any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (b) conflict
with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court,
arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or (c) violate any provision of
any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

Section 5.7.Governmental Authorizations, Etc.

Section 5.8.Litigation; Observance of Agreements,
Statutes and Orders. (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge
of the Parent Guarantor or the Company, threatened against or affecting any Obligor or any of their Subsidiaries or any property
of the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental
Authority that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)Neither the Parent Guarantor nor any of its Subsidiaries
is (i) in default under any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) in violation
of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, any arbitrator of any kind or any Governmental Authority or (iii) in
violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority (including Environmental Laws, the
USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16), which default or violation
could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 5.9.Taxes. Each Obligor and their respective
Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown
to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income
or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except
for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which, individually or in the aggregate, is not Material or (ii) the
amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect
to which the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. Neither the
Parent Guarantor nor the Company knows of any basis for any other tax or assessment that could, individually or in the aggregate,

of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment

Notes, if sent prior to consummation of the Change in Control, will state that the Change in Control offer is conditioned on the

(c)Acceptance/Rejection. A holder of Notes
may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.3 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered
to the Company not later than 15 days after receipt by such holder of the most recent offer of prepayment. A failure by a
holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to constitute a
rejection of such offer by such holder.

 

(d)Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to
be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest
on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment, but without Make-Whole Amount or other premium. The prepayment shall be made on

would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date; (v) that the conditions of this
Section 8.3 have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature and date or proposed date of

(b)any “person” or “group”
(as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding any employee benefit
plan of such person or its subsidiaries, and any person or entity acting in its capacity as trustee, agent or other fiduciary or
administrator of any such plan) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, except that a person or group shall be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all Equity Interests
that such person or group has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of
time (such right, an “option right”)), directly or indirectly, of 30% or more of the Equity Interests of the
Parent Guarantor entitled to vote for members of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the Parent Guarantor on
a fully-diluted basis (and taking into account all such securities that such person or group has the right to acquire pursuant

(i) who were members of that board or equivalent governing body on the first day of such period, (ii) whose election or nomination
to that board or equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clause (i) above constituting at the time
of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body or (iii) whose election or nomination
to that board or other equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above constituting
at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body (excluding, in the case
of both clause (ii) and clause (iii), any individual whose initial nomination for, or assumption of office as, a member of that
board or equivalent governing body occurs as a result of an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents for the election
or removal of one or more directors by any person or group other than a solicitation for the election of one or more directors
by or on behalf of the board of directors).

 

Section 8.4.Allocation of Partial Prepayments.
In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid
shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid
principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. All partial prepayments made pursuant to Section 8.3 shall
be applied only to the Notes of the holders who have elected to participate in such prepayment.

 

Section 8.5.Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In
the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature
and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such
date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal
amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal
amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not
be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

 

Section 8.6.Purchase of Notes. Neither the Parent
Guarantor nor the Company will and nor will either of them permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire,
directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment
of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant
to an offer to purchase made by the Parent Guarantor, the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time
outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable
it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 15 Business Days. If the holders
of more than 15% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the
remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by
the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept
such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it, the Parent Guarantor or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment,
prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution

Section 8.7.Make-Whole Amount.

 

The term “Make-Whole Amount”
means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments
with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole
Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following
meanings: “Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid
pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the
context requires.

 

“Discounted Value” means,
with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect
to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal,
in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest
on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

 

“Reinvestment Yield” means,
with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) .50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask
Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect
to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on
Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”)
having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such
U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will
be determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial
practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued
actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average
Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of
decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

 

If such yields are not Reported or the yields
Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield”
means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) .50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by
the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second
Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or
any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life
of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to
such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S.
Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S.
Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield
shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

 

    	- 22 -

“Remaining Average Life”
means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the
sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to
such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months
and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the
scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

 

“Remaining Scheduled Payments”
means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would
be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to
its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made
under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued
to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

 

“Settlement Date” means,
with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2
or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

 

Section 8.8.Payments Due on Non-Business
Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause (y),
any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business
Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day;
and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such
Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the
additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

 

Section 9.Affirmative

The Company and the Parent Guarantor, jointly
and severally, covenant that, from the date of this Agreement until the Closing, and thereafter so long as any of the Notes are

Section 9.1.Compliance with Laws. Without limiting
Section 10.4, the Company and the Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, comply with
all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject (including ERISA, Environmental Laws,
the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16) and will obtain and maintain
in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their
respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance
with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates,
permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 9.2.Insurance. The Company and the Parent
Guarantor will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers,
insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types,

with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business
and similarly situated.

 

Section 9.3.Maintenance of Properties. The Company
and the Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained
and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that
the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section 9.3
shall not prevent either the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries from discontinuing the operation
and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company
and the Parent Guarantor have concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 9.4.Payment of Taxes and Claims. The
Company and the Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to
be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes,
assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent
the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable
that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries;
provided that neither the Company, the Parent Guarantor nor any of their respective Subsidiaries need pay any such tax,
assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company, the Parent
Guarantor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company, the Parent Guarantor
or such Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company, the Parent Guarantor
or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.5.Corporate Existence, Etc. Subject
to Section 10.2, the Company and the Parent Guarantor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect their respective
legal existence. Subject to Sections 10.2, the Company and the Parent Guarantor will at all times preserve and keep in full
force and effect the legal existence of each of their respective Subsidiaries (unless merged into an Obligor or a Wholly-Owned
Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Obligors and their respective Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment
of the Company and the Parent Guarantor, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such legal
existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 9.6.Books and Records. Each of the Company
and the Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity
with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over the Obligors
or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. Each of the Company and the Parent Guarantor will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries
to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets.
The Obligors and their Subsidiaries have devised a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances
that their respective books, records, and accounts accurately reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets and the Obligors
will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, continue to maintain such system.

 

Section 9.7.Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) Each
of the Parent Guarantor and the Company will cause each Material Subsidiary and each other Subsidiary that guarantees or otherwise
becomes liable at any time, whether as a borrower or an additional or co-borrower or otherwise, for or in respect of any Indebtedness
under any Material Credit Facility to concurrently therewith:

payable by the Company pursuant to the Notes (whether for principal, interest, Make-Whole Amount or otherwise) and this Agreement,
including all indemnities, fees and expenses payable by the Company thereunder and (y) the prompt, full and faithful performance,
observance and discharge by the Company of each and every covenant, agreement, undertaking and provision required pursuant to the
Notes or this Agreement to be performed, observed or discharged by it (a “Joinder to the Guaranty”);

officer of such Subsidiary containing representations and warranties on behalf of such Subsidiary to the same effect, mutatis
mutandis, as those contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.6, 5.7, 5.16 of this Agreement (but with respect to such Subsidiary and
such joinder to the Guaranty rather than the Company);

 

(C)all documents as may be reasonably requested
by the Required Holders to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and, where applicable, good standing of such Subsidiary
and the due authorization by all requisite action on the part of such Subsidiary of the execution and delivery of such joinder

(D)an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Required Holders covering such matters relating to such Subsidiary and such joinder to the Guaranty as the Required Holders

to each holder of Notes, any Subsidiary Guarantor may be discharged from all of its obligations and liabilities under its Guaranty
and shall be automatically released from its obligations thereunder without the need for the execution or delivery of any other

Guarantor is a guarantor or is otherwise liable for or in respect of any Material Credit Facility, then such Subsidiary Guarantor
has been released and discharged (or will be released and discharged concurrently with the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor
under its Guaranty) under such Material Credit Facility, (iii) at the time of, and after giving effect to, such release and
discharge, no Default or Event of Default shall be existing, (iv) no amount is then due and payable under such Guaranty, (v) if
in connection with such Subsidiary Guarantor being released and discharged under any Material Credit Facility, any fee or other
form of consideration is given to any holder of Indebtedness under such Material Credit Facility for such release, the holders
of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration substantially concurrently therewith and (vi) each holder shall have received
a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to the matters set forth in clauses (i) through (v).

 

Section 9.8.Most Favored Lender Status. (a)(i) If
at any time after the date of this Agreement a Material Credit Facility contains a financial covenant relating to the matters addressed
in Section 10.9(b) (Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio ), 10.9(c) (Consolidated Leverage Ratio), 10.9(e) (Consolidated
Unencumbered Leverage Ratio) or 10.9(f) (Consolidated Secured Indebtedness) (regardless of whether such provision is
labeled or otherwise characterized as a covenant, a definition or a default) by the Company or the Parent Guarantor that is more
favorable to the lenders under such Material Credit Facility than the covenants, definitions and/or defaults contained in Sections
10.9(b), 10.9(c) 10.9(e) or 10.9(f), as the case may be, of this Agreement (any such provision (including any necessary definition),
a “More Favorable Covenant”), then the Company shall provide a Most Favored Lender Notice in respect of such
More Favorable Covenant. Unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within 15 days after each holder’s receipt of such
notice, such More Favorable Covenant shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into Section 10 of this Agreement,
mutatis mutandis, as if set forth in full herein, effective as of the date when such More Favorable Covenant shall have become
effective under such Material Credit Facility.

(ii) If at any time after the date of
this Agreement (A) any Material Credit Facility shall contain (I) a financial covenant relating to the matters addressed in Section
10.9(a) (Consolidated Tangible Net Worth), 10.9(d) (Distribution Limitation), 10.9(g) (Consolidated Unencumbered
Interest Coverage Ratio), or 10.9(h) (Consolidated Secured Recourse Indebtedness) or (II) a financial covenant not substantively
expressly provided for in this Agreement (regardless of whether such provision is labeled or otherwise characterized as a covenant,
a definition or a default) (any such provision described in the preceding clauses (I) and (II) (including any necessary definition),
a “Floating Financial Covenant”) or (B) all Material Credit Facilities shall cease to contain one or more of
the Floating Financial Covenants, then the Company shall provide a Floating Financial Covenant Notice in respect of such Floating
Financial Covenant. Upon each holder’s receipt of such notice, the Floating Financial Covenant most favorable to the lenders
as among all Material Credit Facilities shall be deemed automatically to replace the corresponding Floating Financial Covenant
contained in Section 10 of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth in full herein or to be incorporated herein, as the
case may be, or, alternatively, if all Material Credit Facilities shall cease to have a particular Floating Financial Covenant,
the corresponding Floating Financial Covenant contained in Section 10 or otherwise deemed to be a part of this Agreement shall
be deemed automatically removed and of no further force and effect, in each case effective as of the date when such Floating Financial
Covenant shall have become more favorable to the Company or the Parent Guarantor or shall have ceased to be in effect under all
Material Credit Facilities.

 

(b)Any More Favorable Covenant or Floating Financial Covenant
incorporated into this Agreement (herein referred to as an “Incorporated Covenant”) pursuant to this Section
9.8 (i) shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent amendments made such that the Incorporated Covenant
most favorable to the lenders as among the Material Credit Facilities shall apply for the purposes of this Agreement; provided
that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists and the amendment of such More Favorable Covenant or Floating Financial
Covenant would make such covenant less restrictive on the Company or the Parent Guarantor, such Incorporated Covenant shall only
be deemed automatically amended at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default no longer exists and (ii)
any Incorporated Covenant that constitutes a Floating Financial Covenant shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement
at such time as such Incorporated Covenant is deleted from or otherwise not a part of all Material Credit Facilities by means of
amendment, modification, termination or by virtue of any applicable Material Credit Facility ceasing to be a Material Credit Facility;
provided that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists, such Incorporated Covenant shall only be deemed automatically
deleted from this Agreement at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default no longer exists; provided

Section 12.Remedies
on Default, Etc.

 

Section 12.1.Acceleration. (a) If an Event
of Default with respect to the Parent Guarantor or the Company described in Section 11(g), (h) or (i) (other than an
Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue
of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall
automatically become immediately due and payable.

 

(b)If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Required Holders may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding
to be immediately due and payable.

 

(c)If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a)
or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default
may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately
due and payable.

 

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under
this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal
amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including interest accrued thereon at the Default
Rate) and (y) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount, shall all be immediately due and payable,
in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company acknowledges,
and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment
by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company
in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation
for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

 

Section 12.2.Other Remedies. If any Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately
due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the
rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance
of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or Guaranty, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof
or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the
Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest
on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by
reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted
by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other
Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and
Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have
been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due
pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent
Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 12.4.No Waivers or Election of Remedies,
Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy
shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy
conferred by this Agreement, any Guaranty or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy
referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations
of the Parent Guarantor and the Company under Section 15, the Parent Guarantor and the Company will pay to the holder of each

Section 20.Confidential
Information.

 

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential
Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Parent Guarantor, the Company, or any
Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature
and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential

include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure,
(b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s
behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Parent Guarantor, the Company or

that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance
with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such
Purchaser; provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers,
employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment
represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential
the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any
Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such
Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20),
(v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any security of the Parent Guarantor or the Company (if such Person has agreed
in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20) provided,
in no event shall such Purchaser deliver or disclose any material, non-public information in violation of securities laws, (vi) any
federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case,
any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s
investment portfolio or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to
effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or
other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary
or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement
or any Guaranty. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled
to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Parent Guarantor
and the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder
under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder
will enter into an agreement with the Parent Guarantor and the Company embodying this Section 20.

    Note Purchase Agreement

access to information relating to the Obligors or their Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise
pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through
IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this
Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Parent Guarantor and the Company,
this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

 

Section 21.Substitution
of Purchaser.

 

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute
any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”)
as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be
signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound
by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations
set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this
Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such
Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original
Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any
reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall
no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser
shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

 

Section 22.Miscellaneous.

 

Section 22.1.Successors and Assigns.

 Exhibit 10.1 

BY HAND 
 July 7, 2016 (Amended July 26,
2016) 
 Mr. John Edelen 
 [Address Redacted] 

Dear John: 
 As we discussed, your employment with the Federal
Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) will terminate at the close of FHLBNY business on Friday, July 8, 2016. To ease your transition, we are prepared to offer you severance benefits under the Bank’s Severance Pay Plan
plus an additional 16 weeks for a total of 52 weeks in exchange for and subject to your signing this Agreement. 
 1. Severance Benefits 

a) If you execute this letter, the severance benefits (including a cash severance payment and a payment intended for medical coverage) described in the
attached FHLBNY Severance Pay Plan (“Severance Plan”) and in the “Severance Benefits” section of this letter will apply to your termination. The cash severance payment and medical coverage payment portions of the severance
benefits will be paid in a lump sum on a scheduled payroll date occurring before August 30, 2016, with payment conditioned on (1) FHLBNY having received a signed copy of this Agreement in accordance with the directions provided
below and (2) the revocation period described in Section 5 having expired. The date this payment is made is referred to as the “Payment Date.” All payments made under the terms of this agreement are subject to all applicable
Federal, state and local withholding tax obligations. 
 b) Your severance benefits will include a cash payment equal to 52 weeks of salary,
$387,111, at your rate of pay as of the date of termination. Regardless of whether or not you sign this Agreement, your previously deferred incentive compensation will be paid out in accordance with the terms of the Bank’s Incentive
Compensation Plan in March 2017, 2018 and 2019, and your Executive Change In Control Agreement, effective as of December 1, 2015, remains in place. 

c) If you were a participant in the FHLBNY’s Employee Medical Benefits Plan (“Medical Plan”) at the date of termination of employment, your
medical, vision and dental benefits under the Medical Plan will terminate as of that date. You may choose the option, regardless of whether or not you sign this Agreement, of continuing your medical, vision and dental benefits under the Medical Plan
at your cost, with payments for such coverage due by you to the administrator of FHLBNY’s Medical Plan continuation coverage program. 
 However, if
you execute this Agreement, the FHLBNY will provide you with a payment in the amount of $29,168 intended to defray a portion of the cost of your elected Medical Plan continuation coverage. Payment of this lump sum amount shall be made in
accordance with Section 1(a) above and at the same time as the cash payment described in Section 1(b) above. Please keep in mind that said payments to the administrator of the FHLBNY’s Medical Plan continuation coverage program are
your responsibility. 

 John Edelen 

July 7, 2016

 d) In addition to the foregoing, if you execute this Agreement, you will be entitled to outplacement
counseling services provided by the firm of Lee Hecht Harrison for a period of 52 weeks, beginning on the Payment Date, to commence no later than 12 weeks after the Payment Date. If you wish to avail yourself of such services, please contact
Ms. Susan Koop of Lee Hecht Harrison at (212) 455-8405. 
 2. Release 

Your acceptance of the aforementioned severance benefits (including the cash severance payment and medical coverage payment) shall constitute your agreement to
irrevocably and unconditionally release the FHLBNY, as well as its present and former directors, officers and employees, jointly and individually, from any and all claims, known or unknown, based on any conduct occurring up to and including the date
you sign this Agreement, arising out of, or regarding, your employment with the FHLBNY, or termination thereof, or compensation from the FHLBNY, including, but not limited to, claims pertaining to (i) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
as amended; (ii) the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended; (iii) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (excluding claims for accrued, vested benefits under any employee benefit plan of the FHLBNY in
accordance with the terms of such plan and applicable law); (iv) the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended, or the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; (v) the New York State and City Human Rights Laws; (vi) the New Jersey
Law Against Discrimination; (vii) Section 806 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002; (viii) alleged discrimination or retaliation in employment (whether based on federal, state or local law, statutory or decisional); (ix) the terms
and conditions of your employment with the FHLBNY, the termination of such employment, and/or any of the events relating directly or indirectly to or surrounding that termination; and (x) any law (statutory or decisional) providing for
attorneys’ fees, costs, disbursements and/or the like. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, the restrictions and conditions in Sections 2(a) – (e) below) shall be construed to prevent you from filing a charge with or participating in an investigation conducted by any governmental agency, including, without limitation, the
United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or applicable state or city fair employment practices agency, to the extent required or permitted by law, including
SEC compliance investigations. Nevertheless, you understand and agree that you are waiving any relief available (including, for example, monetary damages or reinstatement) under any of the claims and/or causes of action waived in this paragraph 2,
including but not limited to financial benefit or monetary recovery from any lawsuit filed or settlement reached by the EEOC or anyone else with respect to any claims released and waived in this Agreement. 

In addition to the foregoing, you agree as follows: 
 a) you
will use your best efforts to cooperate with the FHLBNY in connection with any investigation, administrative proceeding or litigation which may occur relating to any matter in which you were involved or of which you have knowledge; 

b) in the event you are subpoenaed by any person or entity (including, but not limited to, any government agency) to give testimony (in a deposition, court
proceeding or otherwise) which in any way relates to your employment with the FHLBNY, you will use your best efforts to give prompt notice of such request to the Director of Human Resources and will make no disclosure until the FHLBNY has had a
reasonable opportunity to contest the right of the requesting person or entity to such disclosure;

Administrator, to be unable to perform in a satisfactory manner the duties of the position in which the Employee is then employed, where such inability to perform has been determined by the Plan Administrator, in his sole and exclusive discretion,
to not warrant a Termination for Cause, as defined in Section 1.19; or 
 (e) The Employee has Resigned from his or her Employment with
the Bank either (i) following a reduction in salary grade, level, or rank, or a significant reduction of duties and responsibilities, as determined by the Plan Administrator in his sole and exclusive discretion, except when such reduction
occurs as a result of disciplinary action by the Bank, or (ii) following a refusal to accept a transfer to a location outside a fifty (50) mile radius of the location at which the Employee is presently employed, provided, in either case,
that the Employee shall have provided to the Plan Administrator within not more than thirty (30) days following the occurrence of such condition, at least ten (10) days’ notice in writing of the condition referred to in clause
(i) or (ii), as applicable, and his or her intention to Resign based thereon and that the Bank shall not have remedied the condition for such Resignation within thirty (30) days following the giving of such notice by the Employee. 

3.03 Disqualification for Severance Benefits. Anything contained in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, an Employee shall not be eligible for
Severance Benefits under this Plan upon his or her termination of employment with the Bank where such termination is due to any of the following circumstances: 

  
 5 

 (a) A Resignation by the Employee, other than one described in paragraph (e) of
Section 3.02, or a Resignation by the Employee without giving the ten (10) days’ notice in writing to the Plan Administrator required by said paragraph (e) or prior to the expiration of said period, or if the condition on which

in each case, as determined by the Plan Administrator in his sole and absolute discretion. 

3.04 Computation of Severance Benefits. The amount of Severance Benefits payable under this Plan to an Employee qualifying for Severance Benefits under
this Plan shall be determined based (i) upon the level of the Employee’s position with the Bank at the date of the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Bank and (ii) the Employee’s Periods of Service with the
Bank: 
 (a) Officers of the Bank shall be eligible for two (2) weeks of Severance Benefits for each Period of Service with the Bank,

(b) Exempt Employees of the Bank shall be eligible for one (1) week of Severance Benefits for each Period of Service with the Bank, but in

(24) (or fifty-two (52) weeks in the event of a CIC) weeks in the case of an Exempt Employee of the Bank, and twelve (12) weeks (or fifty-two (52) weeks in the event of a CIC) in the case of a Non-Exempt Employee of the Bank.

  
 6 

 3.06 Method of Payment of Severance Benefits. The total amount of Severance Benefits payable under
this Plan shall be paid in a lump sum on a scheduled payroll date occurring within sixty (60) days following the date of the Employee’s Termination of Employment, provided the Bank shall have received prior thereto the agreement referred
to in Section 3.09 signed by the Employee, and shall be subject to withholding of Federal and State income taxes and other employment taxes based upon the number of withholding allowances. If the sixty-day period referred to in this
Section 3.06 spans two calendar years, payment of the Severance Benefits will be made on a date during such sixty-day period that occurs in the second calendar year.  

 

	3.07	Continuation of Employee Benefits. 

 (i) An Employee who is eligible to receive Severance Benefits under
this Plan who was, at the date of Termination of his or her Employment, a participant in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Life Insurance Plan shall be eligible to continue such participation in such plan. The continued participation of such
Employee in such benefit shall continue only for so long as the period specified in the severance agreement executed in accordance with Section 3.09 below. 

(ii) In addition, an Employee who is eligible to receive Severance Benefits under this Plan who was, at the date of Termination of his or her Employment, a
participant in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Medical Benefits Plan, and any related dental and vision plans, shall have the option to duly and timely elect to continue such participation under the provisions of the continuation coverage
provisions adopted by the Bank (which is not subject to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986), subject to the coverage continuation rules for such benefits established by the Bank from time to time. In addition, the Bank will
provide to Terminated Employees who continue with the plans described in this subsection 3.07(ii) a lump sum payment in an amount to be determined by the Bank and specified in the severance agreement executed in accordance with Section 3.09
below. This payment is intended to be used in connection with payments by Terminated Employees related to the plans described in this subsection 3.07(ii). Such lump sum payment shall be deemed to be part of the Severance Benefits paid under this
Plan. 
 (iii) Any Employee eligible for Severance Benefits shall not be eligible, following the Termination of his or her Employment, to continue to
participate in any plans (whether such plans contain a tax-deferred component or otherwise) for which the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York provides any kind or type of matching contribution. 

(iv) Any previously accrued vacation pay to which the Employee is entitled will be paid to the Employee in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the
Termination of the Employee’s Employment. 
 3.08 Outplacement Services. Except in the event of a CIC, the Bank may, on a case by case basis,
but shall not be required to, provide Outplacement Services to Terminated Employees eligible for Severance Benefits under this Plan, the determination as to whether to provide Outplacement Services to any Employee being within the sole and exclusive
discretion of the Plan Administrator; provided, that such Outplacement Services shall not be provided to a 

  
 7 

 
Terminated Employee beyond the last day of the second Year following the Year in which the Termination of Employment of the Employee occurred. Generally, individual counseling may be provided
only to Officers and group counseling may be provided to other Exempt Employees and to Non-Exempt Employees. 
 In the event of a CIC, the Bank will provide
to Terminated Employees a lump sum payment in the amount of $5,000 each that is intended to be used for job search-related expenses. Such lump sum payment shall be deemed to be part of the Severance Benefits paid under this Plan. 

3.09 Severance Agreement. An Employee whose Employment with the Bank is Terminated under conditions making the Employee eligible for Severance Benefits
under this Plan shall, as a condition of receiving such Severance Benefits, be required to sign an agreement, in the form prescribed by the Bank, setting forth the terms on which Severance Benefits are to be paid or provided to the Employee and the
acceptance thereof by the Employee. Such agreement shall include a release of any claims the Employee may have, at the date of the agreement or thereafter, against the Bank and any present and former directors, officers, and employees of the Bank.

 3.10 Termination of Employment. For all purposes of this Plan, the Employment of an Employee shall be deemed to have been Terminated, and a
Termination of Employment of an Employee shall be deemed to have occurred, upon the earliest to occur of the following events: 
 (i) On the
effective date of a RIF applicable to the Employee; 
 (ii) On the effective date of the Employee’s Resignation from Employment; 

(iii) On the effective date of the elimination by the Bank of the Employee’s position; 

(iv) On the effective date of the Employment’s termination of employment as a result of a CIC; and 

(v) On the date on which (A) the Bank causes the Employee’s Employment with the Bank to cease and (B) the Employee is considered
to have incurred a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(h); provided, that the Employment relationship shall be treated as continuing while the Employee is on a Qualified Leave (as defined below); and
provided, further, that if the leave is or becomes an Unqualified Leave (as defined below), the Employment of the Employee shall be deemed to have Terminated on the first date on which the leave is considered to be an Unqualified Leave. For purposes
of this Section 3.10(v), a Qualified Leave is any (1) military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence (which shall be deemed to exist only if there is a reasonable expectation that the Employee will return to perform
services for the Bank) if the period of such leave does not exceed six (6) months, or longer, if the Employee retains a right to reemployment with the Bank under an applicable statute or by contract, or (2) any medically determinable
physical or mental 

  
 8 

 
impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six (6) months, where such impairment causes the Employee to be unable
to perform the duties of his position of Employment or any substantially similar position of Employment, in which case such period of absence may last up to twenty-nine (29) months. An Unqualified Leave means a leave of absence that is not a
Qualified Leave or loses its status as a Qualified Leave due to the expiration of the allowable Qualified Leave period of six (6) months (or longer, if applicable, as described above).. 

3.11 Determinations by the Plan Administrator to be Final. All determinations of the Plan Administrator in the administration and application of the
terms and provisions of this Plan shall be final and binding upon all Employees without any right of appeal. 
 3.12 Exceptional Cases. The Bank
reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to modify the application of the terms and provisions of this Plan in the case of any Employee whose Employment with the Bank shall Terminate, subject to the approval of the President of the
Bank; provided, that the modifications will not cause a violation of Section 409A of the Code.

 ARTICLE IV 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 4.01 Allocation of
Responsibility for Administration. The designated representatives of the Bank shall have only those specific powers, duties, responsibilities, and obligations as are specifically given them under this Plan. The Plan Administrator shall have the
sole responsibility for the administration of this Plan, which responsibility is specifically described in this Plan. Any direction given, information furnished, or action taken, by the Plan Administrator shall be in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan authorizing or providing for such direction, information, or action. The Plan Administrator may rely upon any such direction, information, or action of another employee of the Bank as being proper under this Plan and is not required to
inquire into the propriety of any such direction, information, or action. It is intended under this Plan that the Plan Administrator shall be responsible for the proper exercise of his own powers, duties, responsibilities, and obligations under this
Plan and shall not be responsible for any act or failure to act of another employee of the Bank. Neither the Plan Administrator nor the Bank makes any guarantee to any Employee in any manner for any loss or other event because of the Employee’s
participation in this Plan. 
 4.02 Appointment of Plan Administrator. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator or his duly
designated representative pursuant to Section 4.01. 
 4.03 Records and Reports. The Plan Administrator shall exercise such authority and
responsibility as he deems appropriate in order to comply with the terms of the Plan relating to the records of the Participants. The Plan Administrator shall be responsible for complying with any and all reporting, filing, and disclosure
requirements and other applicable laws and regulations with respect to the Plan. 
 4.04 Withholding Tax. All amounts paid to the Employee under this
Plan shall be subject to withholding and other employment taxes imposed by applicable law. The Employee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes imposed on the Employee relating to the payment or provision of any amounts or benefits
hereunder. 
 4.05 Section 409A of the Code. This Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code or an exemption thereunder or
exception therefrom, and shall be construed and administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code or such exemption or exception, as applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if any payment provided to an Employee in
connection with the Employee’s termination of employment is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the Employee is determined to be a “specified
employee” as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(b)(i) of the Code, then such payment shall not be paid until the first payroll date to occur following the six-month anniversary of the termination date (the “Specified Employee Payment
Date”) or, if earlier, on the Employee’s death. The aggregate of any payments that would otherwise have been paid before the Specified Employee Payment Date shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the Specified Employee Payment
Date. Notwithstanding the 

  
 10 

 
foregoing, the Bank makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Plan comply with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Bank or its respective
directors, officers, employees, or advisors be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by the Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code. 

4.06 Other Powers and Duties of the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have such duties and powers as may be necessary to discharge his
duties under this Plan, including, but not limited to, the following: 
  

	 	(a)	to prepare and distribute, in such manner as the Plan Administrator determines to be appropriate, information explaining the Plan; 

  

	 	(b)	to receive from the Bank and from Participants such information as shall be necessary for the proper administration of the Plan; 

  

	 	(c)	to furnish to the Bank, upon request, such annual reports with respect to the administration of the Plan as are reasonable and appropriate; and 

 

	 	(d)	to appoint individuals to assist in the administration of the Plan and any other agents he deems advisable, including, but not limited to, legal and actuarial counsel. 

The Plan Administrator shall have the exclusive discretionary authority and power to determine eligibility for Severance Benefits and to construe the terms
and provisions of the Plan, determine questions of fact and law arising under the Plan, direct disbursements pursuant to the Plan, and exercise all other powers specified herein or which may be implied from the provisions hereof, and the Plan
Administrator may adopt such standards and procedures and such rules for the conduct of the administration of the Plan as he may deem appropriate. When making a determination or calculations, the Plan Administrator may rely upon information
furnished by an Employee, the Bank, or the legal counsel of the Bank.

voluntary or involuntary, including any such liability which is for alimony or other payments for the support of a spouse or former spouse, or for any other relative of the Employee, prior to actually being received by the person eligible for the
benefit under the terms of the Plan; and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, charge, or otherwise dispose of any right to Severance Benefits payable or other rights or benefits provided under this Plan
shall be void. The Bank shall not in any manner be liable for, or subject to, the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of any person eligible for Severance Benefits or other rights or benefits provided under this Plan. 

5.04 Divestment of Severance Benefits. Subject only to the specific provisions of this Plan, nothing shall be deemed to divest an Employee of a right
to the Severance Benefits or other rights or benefits provided for which the Employee may be or become eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Plan.
