the Officer’s skills and experience;

 

		(3)	A reduction in salary or benefits, or, following a Change in Control, (x) any reduction in salary or a material reduction in
benefits below the amounts to which the Officer was entitled prior to the Change in Control or (y) the Officer is not offered a
comparable executive level position, which for purposes of this provision shall mean an executive officer position with respect
to which the total authorities, responsibilities, compensation and benefits are comparable with the authorities, responsibilities,
compensation and benefits associated with the Officer’s position immediately preceding the Change in Control;

 

		(4)	Termination of incentive and benefit plans, programs, or arrangements, or a reduction of the Officer’s participation

		(5)	A requirement that the Officer’s principal business office or principal place of residence be relocated outside any county

equivalent to the facilities and services provided to the Officer on the Effective Date (excluding brief periods during which office
facilities may be temporarily unavailable due to fire, natural disaster, or other calamity).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expected
that Bancorp and the Bank will perform all duties and agreements to be performed herein, and they shall have the right to cure
non-performance, to the extent such performance is reasonably capable of being cured, and shall promptly upon receipt of written
notice of non-performance that the Officer describes and alleges to be Good Reason, comply with the requirements of such notice,
and further if they shall not comply with such notice to the satisfaction of the Officer within forty-eight (48) hours after delivery
thereof, (except if such compliance cannot be reasonably completed within forty-eight (48) hours, if Bank shall not commence to
comply with such period and thereafter proceed to completion with due diligence) the Officer shall have the right to proceed with
notice of a “Good Reason” termination as specified above.”

		“c.	Good Reason. "Good Reason" shall be deemed to exist at the time that any of the following events occurs without

		i.	A material reduction in the Officer’s responsibilities or authority in connection with the Officer’s employment
with the Bank or the Bancorp;

overall reduction or elimination of such plan or plans or benefits thereunder applicable to all participants in a manner that does
not discriminate against the Officer (except as such discrimination may be necessary to comply with law) shall not constitute an
event of Good Reason or a material breach of this Agreement, provided that benefits of the type or to the general extent as those
offered under such plan or plans prior to such reduction or elimination are not available to other officers of Bancorp or the Bank

comply with such period and thereafter proceed to completion with due diligence) the Officer shall have the right to proceed with
notice of a “Good Reason” termination as specified above.”
