2021 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

 

Western New England
Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) sets forth herein the terms of its 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),
as follows:

 

		1.	PURPOSE

 

The Plan is intended
to (a) provide eligible individuals with an incentive to contribute to the success of the Company and to operate and manage
the Company’s business in a manner that will provide for the Company’s long-term growth and profitability and that
will benefit its stockholders and other important stakeholders, including its employees and customers, and (b) provide a means
of recruiting, rewarding, and retaining key personnel. To this end, the Plan provides for the grant of awards of stock options,
restricted stock, stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards, and cash bonus awards.
Any of these awards may, but need not, be made as performance incentives to reward the holders of such awards for the achievement
of performance conditions in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Stock options granted under the Plan may be non-qualified stock
options or incentive stock options, as provided herein.

 

		2.	DEFINITIONS

common control with the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 of Regulation C under the Securities Act, including any

Interest” in such entity. “Controlling Interest” shall have the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i);
provided that (a) except as specified in clause (b) below, an interest of “at least 50 percent” shall be
used instead of an interest of “at least 80 percent” in each case where “at least 80 percent” appears in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i) and (b) where a grant of Options is based upon a legitimate business
criterion, an interest of “at least 20 percent” shall be used instead of an interest of “at least 80 percent”
in each case where “at least 80 percent” appears in Treasury Regulations Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i).

 

2.2             
“Applicable Laws” means the legal requirements relating to the Plan and the Awards under (a) applicable

plan maintained by any of them.

which shall be determined as of any date as follows:

Stock shall have been reported on such Stock Exchange or such Securities Market.

Securities Market, the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock shall be the value of the Stock as determined by the Committee by
the reasonable application of a reasonable valuation method, in a manner consistent with Code Section 409A.

 

Notwithstanding this
Section 2.21 or Section 17.3, for purposes of determining taxable income and the amount of the related tax withholding
obligation pursuant to Section 17.3, the Fair Market Value will be determined by the Committee in good faith using
any reasonable method as it deems appropriate, to be applied consistently with respect to Grantees; provided, further, that
the Committee shall determine the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock due in connection with sales, by or on behalf of a Grantee,
of such shares of Stock subject to an Award to pay the Option Price and/or any tax withholding obligation on the same date on which
such shares may first be sold pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement in any manner consistent with the applicable
provisions of the Code, including but not limited to using the sale price of such shares on such date (or if sales of such shares
are effectuated at more than one sale price, the weighted average sale price of such shares on such date) as the Fair Market Value

under Code Section 409A.

		3.	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

		3.1	Committee.

 

3.1.1       
Powers and Authorities.

 

The Committee shall administer
the Plan and shall have such powers and authorities related to the administration of the Plan as are consistent with the Company’s
certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Applicable Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall
have full power and authority to take all actions and to make all determinations required or provided for under the Plan, any Award,
or any Award Agreement, and shall have full power and authority to take all such other actions and make all such other determinations
not inconsistent with the specific terms and provisions of the Plan which the Committee deems to be necessary or appropriate to
the administration of the Plan, any Award, or any Award Agreement. All such actions and determinations shall be made by (a) the
affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present or (b) the
unanimous consent of the members of the Committee executed in writing or evidenced by electronic transmission in accordance with
the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Applicable Laws. Unless otherwise expressly determined by the Board,
the Committee shall have the authority to interpret and construe all provisions of the Plan, any Award, and any Award Agreement,
and any such interpretation or construction, and any other determination contemplated to be made under the Plan or any Award Agreement,
by the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive on all Persons whether or not expressly provided for in any provision
of the Plan, such Award, or such Award Agreement.

 

In the event that the
Plan, any Award, or any Award Agreement provides for any action to be taken by the Board or any determination to be made by the
Board, such action may be taken or such determination may be made by the Committee constituted in accordance with this Section 3.1
if the Board has delegated the power and authority to do so to such Committee.

    9

     

    

 

3.1.2       
Composition of the Committee.

 

The Committee shall be
a committee composed of not fewer than two (2) directors of the Company designated by the Board to administer the Plan. Each member
of the Committee shall be a (a) Non-Employee Director and (b) an independent director in accordance with the rules of any Stock
Exchange or Securities Market on which the Stock is listed or publicly traded; provided that any action taken by the Committee
shall be valid and effective whether or not members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not to have
satisfied the requirements for membership set forth in this Section 3.1.2 or otherwise provided in any charter of the
Committee.

 

3.1.3       
Other Committees.

 

The Board also may appoint
one or more committees of the Board, each composed of one (1) or more directors of the Company who need not be Outside Directors,
which (a) may administer the Plan with respect to Grantees who are not Officers or directors of the Company, (b) may grant Awards
under the Plan to such Grantees, and (c) may determine all terms of such Awards, in each case, subject, if applicable, to the requirements
of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and the rules of any Stock Exchange or Securities Market on which the Stock is listed
or publicly traded.

 

3.1.4       
Delegation by the Committee.

 

To the extent
permitted by Applicable Laws, the Committee may, by resolution, delegate some or all of its authority with respect to the Plan
and Awards to an officer of the Company designated by the Committee, provided that the Committee may not delegate its authority
hereunder (a) to make Awards to directors of the Company, (b) to make Awards to Employees who are (i) Officers or (ii) officers
of the Company who are delegated authority by the Committee pursuant to this Section 3.1.4, or (c) to interpret the Plan,
any Award, or any Award Agreement. Any delegation hereunder will be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Committee specifies
at the time of such delegation or thereafter. Nothing in the Plan will be construed as obligating the Committee to delegate authority
to any officer of the Company, and the Committee may at any time rescind the authority delegated to an officer of the Company appointed
hereunder and delegate authority to one or more other officers of the Company. At all times, an officer of the Company delegated
authority pursuant to this Section 3.1.4 will serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Committee. Any action undertaken
by any such officer of the Company in accordance with the Committee’s delegation of authority will have the same force and
effect as if undertaken directly by the Committee, and any reference in the Plan to the “Committee” will, to the extent
consistent with the terms and limitations of such delegation, be deemed to include a reference to each such officer.

 

		3.2	Board.

 

The Board, from time
to time, may exercise any or all of the powers and authorities related to the administration and implementation of the Plan, as
set forth in Section 3.1 and other applicable provisions of the Plan, as the Board shall determine, consistent with
the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Applicable Laws.

    10

     

    

 

		3.3	Terms of Awards.

 

		3.3.1	Committee Authority.

 

Subject to the other
terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full and final authority to:

 

		(a)	designate Grantees;

 

		(b)	determine the type or types of Awards to be made to a Grantee;

 

		(c)	determine the number of shares of Stock to be subject to an Award or to which an Award relates;

 

		(d)	establish the terms and conditions of each Award (including the Option Price of any Option or the
purchase price for Restricted Stock), the nature and duration of any restriction or condition (or provision for lapse thereof)
relating to the vesting, exercise, transfer, or forfeiture of an Award or the shares of Stock subject thereto, the treatment of
an Award in the event of a Change in Control (subject to applicable agreements), and any terms or conditions that may be necessary
to qualify Options as Incentive Stock Options;

 

		(e)	prescribe the form of each Award Agreement evidencing an Award;

 

		(f)	subject to the limitation on repricing in Section 3.4, amend, modify, or supplement
the terms of any outstanding Award, which authority shall include the authority, in order to effectuate the purposes of the Plan
but without amending the Plan, to make Awards or to modify outstanding Awards made to eligible natural persons who are foreign
nationals or are natural persons who are employed outside the United States to reflect differences in local law, tax policy, or
custom; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification, or supplement of the terms of any outstanding
Award shall, without the consent of the Grantee thereof, materially impair such Grantee’s rights under such Award; and

 

		(g)	make Substitute Awards.

 

		3.3.2	Forfeiture; Recoupment.

 

If any time within one
(1) year after the date on which a Grantee exercises an Option, or receives payment of a Performance-Based Award, or on which Restricted
Stock or Stock Units vest, or on which income is realized by a Grantee in connection with any other Award (each of which events
shall be a “realization event”), the Board determines in its discretion that the Company has been materially harmed
by the Grantee, whether such harm (a) results in the Grantee’s termination or deemed termination of employment for Cause
or (b) results from any activity of the Grantee determined by the Board to be in competition with any activity of the Company,
the Bank, or an Affiliate, or otherwise prejudicial, contrary, or harmful to the interests of the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate
(including, but not limited to, accepting employment with or serving as a consultant, adviser, or in any other capacity to an entity
that is in competition with or acting against the interests of the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate), then any gain realized
by the Grantee from the realization event shall be paid by the Grantee to the Company upon notice from the Company. Such gain shall
be determined as of the date of the realization event, without regard to any subsequent change in the Fair Market Value of the
Stock. The Company shall have the right to offset such gain against any amounts otherwise owed to the Grantee by the Company, the
Bank, or an Affiliate (whether as wages, vacation pay, or pursuant to any benefit plan or other compensatory arrangement).

    11

     

    

 

In addition, the Committee
may reserve the right in an Award Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the gain realized by a Grantee with respect to an Award thereunder
on account of actions taken by, or failed to be taken by, such Grantee in violation or breach of, or in conflict with, any (a) employment
agreement, (b) non-competition agreement, (c) agreement prohibiting solicitation of Employees or clients of the Company,
the Bank, or an Affiliate, (d) confidentiality obligation with respect to the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate, (e) Company
or Bank policy or procedure, (f) other agreement, or (g) any other obligation of such Grantee to the Company, the Bank,
or an Affiliate, as and to the extent specified in such Award Agreement. The Committee may annul an outstanding Award as of the
date of the Grantee’s termination of Service for Cause if the Grantee thereof is an Employee of the Company, the Bank, or
an Affiliate and is terminated for Cause.

 

Notwithstanding any other
provisions in this Plan, the Company may cancel any Award granted pursuant to the Plan, require reimbursement of any Award by a
Grantee, and effect any other right of recoupment of equity or other compensation provided under the Plan in accordance with (a) any
Company or Bank “clawback” or recoupment policy that is or may be adopted and/or modified from time to time to comply
with the requirements of any Applicable Law, rule, regulation, or otherwise (“Clawback Policy”), or (b) any
law, rule, or regulation which imposes mandatory recoupment, under circumstances set forth in such law, rule, or regulation. In
addition, a Grantee may be required to repay to the Company previously paid compensation, whether provided pursuant to the Plan
or an Award Agreement, in accordance with the Clawback Policy. By accepting an Award, the Grantee is agreeing to be bound by the
Clawback Policy, as in effect or as it may be adopted and/or modified from time to time by the Company in its discretion (including,
without limitation, to comply with Applicable Law).

 

		3.4	No Repricing Without Stockholder Approval.

 

Except in connection
with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, distribution (whether in
the form of cash, shares of Stock, other securities or other property), stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization,
Change in Control, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of
Stock or other securities or similar transaction), the Company may not: (a) amend the terms of outstanding Options to reduce
the exercise price of such outstanding Options; (b) cancel or assume outstanding Options in exchange for, or substitution
of, Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options; or (c) cancel or assume outstanding
Options with an exercise price above the current Fair Market Value in exchange for cash, Awards or other securities, in each case,
unless such action is subject to and approved by the Company’s stockholders.

 

    12

     

    

 

		3.5	Deferral Arrangement.

 

The Committee may permit
or require the deferral of any payment pursuant to any Award into a deferred compensation arrangement, subject to such rules and
procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or Dividend Equivalent Rights
and, in connection therewith, provisions for converting such credits into Stock Units; provided, that no Dividend Equivalent
Rights may be granted in connection with, or related to, an Award of Options. Any such deferrals shall be made in a manner that
complies with Code Section 409A, including, if applicable, with respect to when a Separation from Service occurs.

 

		3.6	No Liability.

 

No member of the Board
or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan, any Award, or any
Award Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, neither the Company, an Affiliate, the Board, the Committee,
nor any person acting on behalf of the Company, an Affiliate, the Board, or the Committee will be liable to any Grantee or to the
estate or beneficiary of any Grantee or to any other holder of an Award under the Plan by reason of any acceleration of income,
or any additional tax (including any interest and penalties), asserted by reason of the failure of an Award to satisfy the requirements
of Code Section 422 or Code Section 409A or by reason of Code Section 4999, or otherwise asserted with respect to the Award; provided,
that this Section 3.6 shall not affect any of the rights or obligations set forth in an applicable agreement between the
Grantee and the Company or an Affiliate.

 

		3.7	Registration; Share Certificates.

 

Notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary, the ownership of the shares of Stock issued under the Plan may be evidenced in such a manner as the
Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, including by book-entry or direct registration (including transaction advices)
or the issuance of one or more share certificates.

 

		4.	STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

 

		4.1	Number of Shares of Stock Available for Awards.

 

Subject to such additional
shares of Stock as shall be available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 4.2, and subject to adjustment
pursuant to Section 16.1, the maximum number of shares of Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be equal
to seven hundred thousand (700,000) shares of Stock (the “Share Limit”). Such shares of Stock may be authorized
and unissued shares of Stock or treasury shares of Stock or any combination of the foregoing, as may be determined from time to
time by the Board or by the Committee. Any of the shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan may be used
for any type of Award under the Plan, and any or all of the shares of Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be available
for issuance pursuant to Incentive Stock Options.

 

    13

     

    

 

		4.2	Adjustments in Authorized Shares of Stock.

 

In connection with mergers,
reorganizations, separations, or other transactions to which Code Section 424(a) applies, the Committee shall have the right
to cause the Company to assume awards previously granted under a compensatory plan of another business entity that is a party to
such transaction and/or to grant substitute Awards under the Plan for such awards. Assumed awards shall not, but Substitute Awards
shall, reduce the number of shares of Stock otherwise available for issuance under the Plan, subject to applicable rules of any
Stock Exchange or Securities Market on which the Stock is listed or publicly traded.

 

		4.3	Share Usage.

 

		(a)	Shares of Stock covered by an Award shall be counted as used as of the Grant Date for purposes
of calculating the number of shares of Stock available for issuance under Section 4.1.

 

		(b)	Any shares of Stock that are subject to Awards shall be counted against the limit set forth in
Section 4.1 as one (1) share of Stock for every one (1) share of Stock subject to an Award. A number of shares of Stock
equal to the maximum number of shares issuable under a Performance-Based Award shall be counted against the Share Limit as of the
Grant Date, but such number shall be adjusted to equal the actual number of shares issued upon settlement of the Performance-Based
Award to the extent different from such number of shares.

 

		(c)	If any shares of Stock covered by an Award under the Plan are not purchased or are forfeited or
expire, or otherwise terminate without delivery of any shares of Stock subject thereto or are settled in cash in lieu of shares
of Stock, then the number of shares of Stock with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination,
expiration, or settlement, again be available for making Awards under the Plan in the same amount as such shares of Stock were
counted against the Share Limit set forth in Section 4.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, in
no event shall shares of Stock in excess of the Share Limit be available for issuance under the Plan without the approval of the
Company’s stockholders.

 

		(d)	The number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan will not be increased by the
number of shares of Stock (i) tendered, withheld, or subject to an Award surrendered in connection with the purchase of shares
of Stock upon exercise of an Option, (ii) deducted or delivered from payment of an Award in connection with the Company’s
tax withholding obligations as provided in Section 17.3, or (iii) purchased by the Company with proceeds from
Option exercises.

 

    14

     

    

 

		5.	EFFECTIVE DATE; TERM; AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

 

		5.1	Effective Date.

 

The Plan shall become
effective as of the Effective Date. Following the Effective Date, no awards shall be made under the Prior Plans. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, shares of Stock reserved under the Prior Plans to settle awards, which are made under the Prior Plans prior to the
Effective Date may be issued and delivered following the Effective Date to settle such awards.

 

5.2           Term. The Plan shall terminate on the first to occur of (a) 11:59 PM
ET on the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date, (b) the date determined in accordance with
Section 5.3, and (c) the date determined in accordance with Section 16.3; provided, however, that, subject to
the provisions of Section 8.3 regarding Ten Percent Stockholders, no Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the Plan
more than ten (10) years after the date of the Board’s adoption of the Plan or be exercisable more than ten (10) years after
the Grant Date. No Awards may be granted after termination of the Plan, and upon such termination of the Plan, all then-outstanding
Awards shall continue to have full force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the terminated Plan and the applicable
Award Agreement (or other documents evidencing such Awards)

 

		5.3	Amendment, Suspension, and Termination.

 

The Committee may, at
any time and from time to time, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan; provided that, with respect to Awards theretofore granted
under the Plan, no amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Grantee, materially impair
the rights or obligations under any such Award. The effectiveness of any amendment to the Plan shall be contingent on approval
of such amendment by the Company’s stockholders to the extent provided by the Board or required by Applicable Laws; provided
that no amendment shall be made to the no-repricing provisions of Section 3.4 or the Option Price provisions of Section 8.1
without the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

 

		6.	AWARD ELIGIBILITY AND LIMITATIONS

 

		6.1	Eligible Grantees.

 

Subject to this Section 6,
Awards may be made under the Plan to any Service Provider, as the Committee shall determine and designate from time to time.

 

    15

     

    

  

		6.2	Annual Limitations.

 

During any time when
the Company has a class of equity security registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and subject to adjustment as provided
in Section 16.5:

 

		(a)	The maximum number of shares of Stock subject to Options that may be granted under the Plan in
a calendar year to any person eligible for an Award under Section 6.1 is one hundred fifty thousand (150,000) shares;

 

		(b)	The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be granted under the Plan, pursuant to Awards other
than Options, in a calendar year to any Person eligible for an Award under Section 6.1 is one hundred fifty thousand
(150,000) shares; and

 

		(c)	The maximum amount that may be paid as a cash-denominated Performance-Based Award (whether or not
cash-settled) for a Performance Period of twelve (12) months or less to any person eligible for an Award under Section
6.1 shall be one million dollars ($1,000,000.00), and the maximum amount that may be paid as a cash-denominated Performance-Based
Award (whether or not cash-settled) for a Performance Period of greater than twelve (12) months to any person eligible for an Award
under Section 6.1 shall be one million dollars ($1,000,000.00).

 

		6.3	Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Awards.

 

Subject to Section 3.4,
Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with,
or in substitution or exchange for, (a) any other Award, (b) any award granted under another plan of the Company, the
Bank, an Affiliate, or any business entity that has been a party to a transaction with the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate,
or (c) any other right of a Grantee to receive payment from the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate. Such additional, tandem,
Substitute, or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. If an Award is granted in substitution or exchange for another Award,
or for an award granted under another plan of the Company, the Bank, an Affiliate, or any business entity that has been a party
to a transaction with the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award or
award under such other plan in consideration for the grant of such Substitute or exchange Award. In addition, Awards may be granted
in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash payments under other plans of the Company or an Affiliate. Notwithstanding
Section 8.1, the Option Price of an Option that is a Substitute Award may be less than one hundred percent (100%) of
the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the original Grant Date; provided, that such Option Price is determined in
accordance with the principles of Code Section 424 for any Incentive Stock Option and consistent with Code Section 409A
for any other Option.

 

		7.	AWARD AGREEMENT

 

Each Award granted pursuant
to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall be in such form or forms as the Committee shall from time to
time determine. Award Agreements utilized under the Plan from time to time or at the same time need not contain similar provisions
but shall be consistent with the terms of the Plan. Each Award Agreement evidencing an Award of Options shall specify whether such
Options are intended to be Non-qualified Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options, and in the absence of such specification, such
Options shall be deemed to constitute Non-qualified Stock Options. In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and an Award
Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall control.

 

    16

     

    

 

		8.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

 

		8.1	Option Price.

 

The Option Price of each
Option shall be fixed by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option. Except in the case of Substitute
Awards, the Option Price of each Option shall be at least the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock on the Grant Date;
provided, that in the event that a Grantee is a Ten Percent Stockholder, the Option Price of an Option granted to such Grantee
that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value
of one (1) share of Stock on the Grant Date. In no case shall the Option Price of any Option be less than the par value of a share
of Stock.

 

		8.2	Vesting and Exercisability.

 

Subject to Sections 8.3
and 16.3, each Option granted under the Plan shall become vested and/or exercisable at such times and under such conditions
as shall be determined by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement, in another agreement with the Grantee, or otherwise
in writing; provided, that no Option shall be granted to Grantees who are entitled to overtime under Applicable Laws that
will vest or become exercisable within a six (6)-month period starting on the Grant Date.

 

		8.3	Term.

 

Each Option granted under
the Plan shall terminate, and all rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder shall cease, on the day before the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the Grant Date of such Option, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth in the
Plan or as may be fixed by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement relating to such Option; provided, that in the
event that the Grantee is a Ten Percent Stockholder, an Option granted to such Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock
Option shall terminate, and all rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder shall cease, on the day before the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the Grant Date of such Option; and provided, further, that, to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the
Committee to reflect differences in local law, tax policy, or custom with respect to any Option granted to a Grantee who is a Service
Provider who is employed or providing services outside the United States, such Option may terminate, and all rights to purchase
shares of Stock thereunder may cease, upon the expiration of a period longer than ten (10) years from the Grant Date of such Option
as the Committee shall determine.

 

		8.4	Termination of Service.

 

Each Award Agreement
with respect to the grant of an Option shall set forth the extent to which the Grantee thereof, if at all, shall have the right
to exercise such Option following termination of such Grantee’s Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based
on the reasons for termination of Service.

 

    17

     

    

 

		8.5	Limitations on Exercise of Option.

 

Notwithstanding any provision
of the Plan to the contrary, in no event may any Option be exercised, in whole or in part, after the occurrence of an event referred
to in Section 16 which results in the termination of such Option.

 

		8.6	Method of Exercise.

 

Subject to the terms
of Section 10 and Section 17.3, an Option that is exercisable may be exercised by the Grantee’s delivery
to the Company or its designee or agent of written notice of exercise on any business day, at the Company’s principal office
or the office of such designee or agent, on the form specified by the Company and in accordance with any additional procedures
specified by the Committee. Such notice shall specify the number of shares of Stock with respect to which such Option is being
exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Stock for which such Option is being
exercised plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Company may, in its judgment, be required to withhold
with respect to the exercise of such Option.

 

		8.7	Rights of Holders of Options.

 

Unless otherwise stated
in the applicable Award Agreement, a Grantee or other person holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the shares
of Stock subject to such Option, to direct the voting of the shares of Stock subject to such Option, or to receive notice of any
meeting of the Company’s stockholders) until the shares of Stock subject thereto are fully paid and issued to such Grantee
or other person. Except as provided in Section 16, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions, or other
rights with respect to any shares of Stock subject to an Option for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of such
shares of Stock.

 

		8.8	Delivery of Stock.

 

Promptly after the exercise
of an Option by a Grantee and the payment in full of the Option Price with respect thereto, such Grantee shall be entitled to receive
such evidence of such Grantee’s ownership of the shares of Stock subject to such Option as shall be consistent with Section 3.7.

 

		8.9	Transferability of Options.

 

Except as provided in
Section 8.10, during the lifetime of a Grantee of an Option, only such Grantee (or, in the event of such Grantee’s
legal incapacity or incompetency, such Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise such Option. Except as provided
in Section 8.10, no Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution.

 

    18

     

    

 

		8.10	Family Transfers.

 

The Committee, in its
sole discretion, may provide either in an applicable Award Agreement or by the subsequent approval of the Committee that a Grantee
may transfer, not for value, all or part of an Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option to any Family Member. For the purpose
of this Section 8.10, a transfer “not for value” is a transfer which is (a) a gift, (b) a transfer
under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights, or (c) unless Applicable Laws do not permit such
transfer, a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family Members
(and/or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in such entity. Following a transfer under this Section 8.10, any
such Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to such transfer,
and the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to such Option shall be subject to the same restrictions with respect to transfers of
such shares of Stock as would have applied to the Grantee thereof. Subsequent transfers of transferred Options shall be prohibited
except to Family Members of the original Grantee in accordance with this Section 8.10 or by will or the laws of descent
and distribution. The provisions of Section 8.4 relating to termination of Service shall continue to be applied with
respect to the original Grantee of the Option, following which such Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent,
and for the periods specified, in Section 8.4.

 

		8.11	Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.

 

An Option shall constitute
an Incentive Stock Option only (a) if the Grantee of such Option is an Employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, (b) to
the extent specifically provided in the related Award Agreement, (c) to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined
at the time such Option is granted) of the shares of Stock with respect to which all Incentive Stock Options held by such Grantee
become exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans of the Company, the Bank, and
its Affiliates) does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), and (d) to the extent such Option fulfills all other requirements
under Code Section 422. Except to the extent provided under Code Section 422, this limitation shall be applied by taking Options
into account in the order in which they were granted.

 

		8.12	Notice of Disqualifying Disposition.

 

If any Grantee shall
make any disposition of shares of Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances provided
in Code Section 421(b) (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such Grantee shall notify the Company of such disposition
immediately but in no event later than ten (10) days thereafter.

 

		9.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS

 

		9.1	Grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units.

 

Awards of Restricted
Stock and Stock Units may be made for consideration or for no consideration, other than the par value of the shares of Stock, which
shall be deemed paid by past Service or, if so provided in the related Award Agreement or a separate agreement, the promise by
the Grantee to perform future Service to the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate.

 

    19

     

    

 

		9.2	Restrictions.

 

At the time a grant of
Restricted Stock or Stock Units is made, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, (a) establish a period of time (a “Restricted
Period”) applicable to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units and (b) prescribe restrictions in addition to or other
than the expiration of the Restricted Period, including the achievement of corporate or individual performance goals, which may
be applicable to all or any portion of such Restricted Stock or Stock Units as provided in Section 12. Awards of Restricted
Stock and Stock Units may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the Restricted
Period or prior to the satisfaction of any other restrictions prescribed by the Committee with respect to such Awards.

 

		9.3	Registration; Restricted Share Certificates.

 

Pursuant to Section 3.7,
to the extent that ownership of Restricted Stock is evidenced by a book-entry registration or direct registration (including transaction
advices), such registration shall be notated to evidence the restrictions imposed on such Award of Restricted Stock under the Plan
and the applicable Award Agreement. Subject to Section 3.7 and the immediately following sentence, the Company may
issue, in the name of each Grantee to whom Restricted Stock has been granted, share certificates representing the total number
of shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Grantee, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Grant Date of such Restricted
Stock. The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement with respect to an Award of Restricted Stock that either (a) the Secretary
of the Company shall hold such share certificates for such Grantee’s benefit until such time as such shares of Restricted
Stock are forfeited to the Company or the restrictions applicable thereto lapse and such Grantee shall deliver a stock power to
the Company with respect to each share certificate, or (b) such share certificates shall be delivered to such Grantee; provided,
that such share certificates shall bear legends that comply with applicable securities laws and regulations and make appropriate
reference to the restrictions imposed on such Award of Restricted Stock under the Plan and such Award Agreement.

 

		9.4	Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock.

 

Unless the Committee
provides otherwise in an Award Agreement and subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan, any applicable Company program,
and the applicable Award Agreement, holders of Restricted Stock shall have the right to vote such shares of Restricted Stock and
the right to receive any dividend payments or distributions declared or paid with respect to such shares of Restricted Stock. The
Committee may provide in an Award Agreement evidencing a grant of Restricted Stock that (a) any cash dividend payments or distributions
paid on Restricted Stock shall be reinvested in shares of Stock, which may or may not be subject to the same vesting conditions
and restrictions as the vesting conditions and restrictions as applicable to such underlying shares of Restricted Stock, or (b)
any cash dividend payments or distributions declared or paid on shares of Restricted Stock shall be made or paid currently or only
be made or paid upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to such shares of Restricted Stock. All
stock dividends or distributions, if any, received by a Grantee with respect to shares of Restricted Stock as a result of any stock
split, stock dividend, combination of stock, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and restrictions
as applicable to such underlying shares of Restricted Stock.

 

    20

     

    

 

		9.5	Rights of Holders of Stock Units.

 

		9.5.1	Voting and Dividend Rights.

 

Holders of Stock Units
shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company (for example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions
attributable to the shares of Stock underlying such Stock Units, to direct the voting of the shares of Stock underlying such Stock
Units, or to receive notice of any meeting of the Company’s stockholders), provided, however, that the Committee may provide
in an Award Agreement evidencing a grant of Stock Units that the holder of such Stock Units shall be entitled to receive Dividend
Equivalent Rights in accordance with Section 12.

 

		9.5.2	Creditor’s Rights.

 

A holder of Stock Units
shall have no rights other than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent unfunded and unsecured
obligations of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement.

 

		9.6	Termination of Service.

 

Unless the Committee
provides otherwise in an Award Agreement, in another agreement with the Grantee, or otherwise in writing after such Award Agreement
is issued, but prior to termination of Grantee’s Service, upon the termination of such Grantee’s Service, any Restricted
Stock or Stock Units held by such Grantee that have not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions
have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture of such Restricted Stock or Stock Units, the Grantee thereof
shall have no further rights with respect thereto, including any right to vote such Restricted Stock or any right to receive dividends
or Dividend Equivalent Rights, as applicable, with respect to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units.

 

		9.7	Purchase of Restricted Stock and Shares of Stock Subject
to Stock Units.

 

The Grantee of an Award
of Restricted Stock or vested Stock Units shall be required, to the extent required by Applicable Laws, to purchase such Restricted
Stock or the shares of Stock subject to such vested Stock Units from the Company at a purchase price equal to the greater of (x) the
aggregate par value of the shares of Stock represented by such Restricted Stock or such vested Stock Units or (y) the purchase
price, if any, specified in the Award Agreement relating to such Restricted Stock or such vested Stock Units. Such purchase price
shall be payable in a form provided in Section 10 or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, in consideration for
Service rendered or to be rendered by the Grantee to the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate.

 

    21

     

    

 

		9.8	Delivery of Shares of Stock.

 

Upon the expiration or
termination of any Restricted Period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee, including, without
limitation, any performance goals or delayed delivery period, the restrictions applicable to Restricted Stock or Stock Units settled
in shares of Stock shall lapse, and, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a book-entry or direct registration
(including transaction advices) or a certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of Stock shall, consistent with Section 3.7,
be issued, free of all such restrictions, to the Grantee thereof or such Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may
be. Neither the Grantee, nor the Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, shall have any further rights with regard to a Stock Unit
once the shares of Stock represented by such Stock Unit have been delivered in accordance with this Section 9.8.

 

		10.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS AND OTHER EQUITY-BASED AWARDS

 

		10.1	Unrestricted Stock Awards.

 

The Committee may, in
its sole discretion, grant (or sell at the par value of a share of Stock or at such other higher purchase price as shall be determined
by the Committee) an Award to any Grantee pursuant to which such Grantee may receive shares of Unrestricted Stock under the Plan.
Awards of Unrestricted Stock may be granted or sold to any Grantee as provided in the immediately preceding sentence in respect
of Service rendered or, if so provided in the related Award Agreement or a separate agreement, to be rendered by the Grantee to
the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate or other valid consideration, in lieu of, or in addition to, any cash compensation due to
such Grantee.

 

		10.2	Other Equity-Based Awards.

 

The Committee may, in
its sole discretion, grant Awards in the form of Other Equity-Based Awards, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the
purposes of the Plan. Awards granted pursuant to this Section 10.2 may be granted with vesting, value, and/or payment contingent
upon the achievement of one or more performance goals. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of Other Equity-Based
Awards on the Grant Date or thereafter. Unless the Committee provides otherwise in an Award Agreement, in another agreement with
the Grantee, or otherwise in writing after such Award Agreement is issued, but prior to termination of Grantee’s Service,
upon the termination of a Grantee’s Service, any Other Equity-Based Awards held by such Grantee that have not vested, or
with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture
of any Other Equity-Based Award, the Grantee thereof shall have no further rights with respect to such Other Equity-Based Award.

 

    22

     

    

 

		11.	FORM OF PAYMENT FOR OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK

 

		11.1	General Rule.

 

Payment of the Option
Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the purchase price, if any, for Restricted Stock
shall be made in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable to the Company.

 

		11.2	Surrender of Shares of Stock.

 

To the extent that the
applicable Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of an
Option or the purchase price, if any, for Restricted Stock may be made all or in part through the tender or attestation to the
Company of shares of Stock, which shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which such Option Price or purchase
price has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value on the date of such tender or attestation.

 

		11.3	Cashless Exercise.

 

To the extent permitted
by Applicable Laws and to the extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares of Stock purchased
pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form acceptable to the Committee) of an irrevocable
direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part of the proceeds
of such sale to the Company in payment of such Option Price and any withholding taxes described in Section 17.3, or,
with the consent of the Company, by issuing the number of shares of Stock equal in value to the difference between such Option
Price and the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to the portion of such Option being exercised.

 

		11.4	Other Forms of Payment.

 

To the extent the applicable
Award Agreement so provides and/or unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, payment of the Option Price for shares of
Stock purchased pursuant to exercise of an Option or the purchase price, if any, for Restricted Stock may be made in any other
form that is consistent with Applicable Laws, including (a) Service by the Grantee thereof to the Company, the Bank, or an
Affiliate and (b) by withholding shares of Stock that would otherwise vest or be issuable in an amount equal to the Option
Price or purchase price and the required tax withholding amount.

 

		12.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS

 

		12.1	Dividend Equivalent Rights.

 

A Dividend Equivalent
Right may be granted hereunder, provided that no Dividend Equivalent Rights may be granted in connection with, or related to, an
Award of Options. The terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award Agreement therefor. Dividend
equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently (with or without being subject to forfeiture
or a repayment obligation) or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Stock or Awards, which may thereafter accrue
additional Dividend Equivalent Rights (with or without being subject to forfeiture or a repayment obligation). Any such reinvestment
shall be at the Fair Market Value thereof on the date of such reinvestment. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash,
shares of Stock, or a combination thereof, in a single installment or in multiple installments, all as determined in the sole discretion
of the Committee. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may (a) provide that such Dividend Equivalent
Right shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other Award, and that such Dividend
Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other Award or (b) contain terms and
conditions which are different from the terms and conditions of such other Award.

 

    23

     

    

 

		12.2	Termination of Service.

 

Unless the Committee
provides otherwise in an Award Agreement, in another agreement with the Grantee, or otherwise in writing after such Award Agreement
is issued, a Grantee’s rights in all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall automatically terminate upon such Grantee’s termination
of Service for any reason.

 

		13.	TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

 

		13.1	Grant of Performance-Based Awards.

 

Subject to the terms
and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Performance-Based Awards in such amounts
and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine.

 

		13.2	Value of Performance-Based Awards.

 

Each grant of a Performance-Based
Award shall have an actual or target number of shares of Stock or initial cash value that is established by the Committee as of
the Grant Date. The Committee shall set performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are achieved,
shall determine the value and/or number of shares of Stock subject to a Performance-Based Award that will be paid out to the Grantee
thereof.

 

		13.3	Earning of Performance-Based Awards.

 

Subject to the terms
of the Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the Grantee of a Performance-Based Award shall be entitled to receive
a payout of the value earned under such Performance-Based Award by such Grantee over such Performance Period. The Committee may,
in its sole discretion, adjust the amount of a payment otherwise to be made in connection with a Performance-Based Award, based
on the Grantee’s actual performance.

 

    24

     

    

 

		13.4	Form and Timing of Payment of Performance-Based Awards.

 

Payment of the value
earned under Performance-Based Awards shall be made, as determined by the Committee, in the form, at the time, and in the manner
described in the applicable Award Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, (a) may pay
the value earned under Performance-Based Awards in the form of cash, shares of Stock, other Awards, or a combination thereof including
shares of Stock and/or Awards that are subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee, and (b) shall pay value
earned under Performance-Based Awards at the close of the applicable Performance Period, or as soon as reasonably practicable after
the Committee has determined that the performance goal or goals relating thereto have been achieved; provided, that, unless
specifically provided in the Award Agreement for such Performance-Based Awards, such payment shall occur no later than the fifteenth
(15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the end of the calendar year in which such Performance Period
ends. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify the circumstances in which Performance-Based Awards shall be paid or forfeited
in the event of termination of Service by the Grantee prior to the end of a Performance Period or settlement of such Performance-Based
Awards.

 

		13.5	Performance Conditions.

 

The right of a Grantee
to exercise or to receive a grant or settlement of any Performance-Based Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such
performance conditions as may be specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such performance goals, business criteria, and
other measures of performance, with or without adjustment, as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions.

 

Performance under any
of the Performance Measures (a) may be used to measure the performance of (i) the Company, the Bank, Subsidiaries of
the Company and the Bank, and other Affiliates as a whole, (ii) the Company, the Bank, any Subsidiary, and/or any other Affiliate,
or any combination thereof, or (iii) any one or more business units of the Company, the Bank, any Subsidiary, and/or any other
Affiliate, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and (b) may be compared to the performance of one or
more other companies or one or more published or special indices designated or approved by the Committee for such comparison, as
the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. The Committee also shall have the authority to provide for accelerated
vesting of any Performance-Based Award based on the achievement of performance goals pursuant to the Performance Measures specified
in this Section 13. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein is intended to prevent the Committee from granting Awards
subject to subjective performance conditions (including individual performance conditions).

 

    25

     

    

 

 

		14.	PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS

 

If any Grantee is a
Disqualified Individual, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any Other Agreement to the contrary and notwithstanding
any Benefit Arrangement, any right of the Grantee to any exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit under the Plan shall be reduced
or eliminated:

 

		(a)	to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit, taking into account all
other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the Grantee under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements, would
cause any exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit to the Grantee under the Plan to be considered a Parachute Payment; and

 

		(b)	if, as a result of receiving such Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax amounts received by
the Grantee from the Company under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum
after-tax amount that could be received by the Grantee without causing any such payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute
Payment.

 

Except as required
by Code Section 409A or to the extent that Code Section 409A permits discretion, the Committee shall have the right, in the Committee’s
sole discretion, to designate those rights, payments or benefits under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements
that should be reduced or eliminated so as to avoid having such rights, payments or benefits be considered a Parachute Payment;
provided, however, to the extent any payment or benefit constitutes deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, in order to
comply with Code Section 409A, the Company shall instead accomplish such reduction by first reducing or eliminating any cash payments,
then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Performance-Based Awards, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated
vesting of Options, then by reducing or eliminating any accelerated vesting of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, then by reducing
or eliminating any other remaining Parachute Payments, in each case with the payments to be made furthest in the future being reduced
first.

 

		15.	REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

 

		15.1	General.

 

The Company shall not
be required to offer, sell, or issue any shares of Stock under any Award, whether pursuant to the exercise of an Option or otherwise,
if the offer, sale, or issuance of such shares of Stock would constitute a violation by the Grantee, the Company, the Bank, or
an Affiliate, or any other person, of any provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or of Applicable
Laws, including any federal or state securities laws or regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion,
that the listing, registration, or qualification of any shares of Stock subject to an Award upon any Stock Exchange or Securities
Market or under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the offering,
sale, issuance, or purchase of shares of Stock in connection with any Award, no shares of Stock may be offered, sold, or issued
to the Grantee or any other person under such Award, whether pursuant to the exercise of an Option or otherwise, unless such listing,
registration, or qualification shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company, and any
delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of such Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
upon the exercise of any Option that may be settled in shares of Stock or the delivery of any shares of Stock underlying an Award,
unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect with respect to the shares of Stock subject to such Award,
the Company shall not be required to offer, sell, or issue such shares of Stock unless the Committee shall have received evidence
satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other person exercising such Option or accepting delivery of such shares may acquire
such shares of Stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any determination by the Committee in
connection with the foregoing shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The Company may register, but shall in no event be obligated
to register, any shares of Stock or other securities issuable pursuant to the Plan pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company
shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an Option or the issuance of shares of
Stock or other securities issuable pursuant to the Plan or any Award to comply with any Applicable Laws. As to any jurisdiction
that expressly imposes the requirement that an Option that may be settled in shares of Stock shall not be exercisable until the
shares of Stock subject to such Option are registered under the securities laws thereof or are exempt from such registration, the
exercise of such Option under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness
of such registration or the availability of such an exemption.

 

    26

     

    

 

		15.2	Rule 16b-3.

 

During any time when
the Company has any class of common equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intention
of the Company that Awards pursuant to the Plan and the exercise of Options granted hereunder that would otherwise be subject to
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the
extent that any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee does not comply with the requirements of such Rule 16b-3,
such provision or action shall be deemed inoperative with respect to such Awards to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and
deemed advisable by the Committee and shall not affect the validity of the Plan. In the event that such Rule 16b-3 is revised
or replaced, the Committee may exercise its discretion to modify the Plan in any respect necessary or advisable in its judgment
to satisfy the requirements of, or to permit the Company to avail itself of the benefits of, the revised exemption or its replacement.

 

		16.	EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

 

		16.1	Changes in Stock.

 

If the number of outstanding
shares of Stock is increased or decreased or the shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares
or kind of Capital Stock or other securities of the Company on account of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split,
reverse stock split, spin-off, combination of stock, exchange of stock, stock dividend, or other distribution payable in Capital
Stock, or other increase or decrease in shares of Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company occurring after
the Effective Date, the number and kinds of shares of Capital Stock for which grants of Options and other Awards may be made under
the Plan, including the Share Limit set forth in Section 4.1 and the individual share limitations set forth in Section 6.2,
shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Committee. In addition, the number and kind of shares of Capital Stock
for which Awards are outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Committee so that the proportionate interest
of the Grantee therein immediately following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same as immediately before such
event. Any such adjustment in outstanding Options shall not change the aggregate Option Price payable with respect to shares that
are subject to the unexercised portion of such outstanding Options but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in
the per share Option Price. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as an increase in
shares effected without receipt of consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any distribution to the Company’s
stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (including an extraordinary dividend, but excluding a non-extraordinary
dividend, declared and paid by the Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Board, or the Committee constituted
pursuant to Section 3.1.2 shall, in such manner as the Board or the Committee deems appropriate, adjust (a) the
number and kind of shares of Capital Stock subject to outstanding Awards and/or (b) the aggregate and per share Option Price
of outstanding Options as required to reflect such distribution.

 

    27

     

    

 

		16.2	Reorganization in Which the Company Is the Surviving Entity Which Does Not Constitute a Change
in Control.

 

Subject to Section 16.3,
if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more other
entities which does not constitute a Change in Control, any Award theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and
apply to the Capital Stock to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Award would have been entitled immediately
following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the per share Option
Price so that the aggregate Option Price thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares of Stock remaining
subject to the Option as in effect immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation. Subject to any contrary
language in an Award Agreement or in another agreement with the Grantee, or as otherwise set forth in writing, any restrictions
applicable to such Award shall apply, as well to any replacement shares of Capital Stock subject to such Award, or received by
the Grantee as a result of such reorganization, merger, or consolidation. In the event of any reorganization, merger, or consolidation
of the Company referred to in this Section 16.2, Performance-Based Awards shall be adjusted, including any adjustment
to the performance conditions applicable to such Awards deemed appropriate by the Committee, and including any adjustment so as
to apply to the Capital Stock that a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to the Performance-Based Awards would have
been entitled to receive immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation.

 

    28

     

    

  

		16.3	Change in Control in which Awards are not Assumed.

 

Upon the occurrence of
a Change in Control in which outstanding Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Rights, or Other Equity-Based
Awards are not being assumed or continued, the following provisions shall apply to such Award, to the extent not assumed or continued:

 

		(a)	in each case with the exception of Performance-Based Awards, all outstanding Restricted Stock shall
be deemed to have vested, all Stock Units shall be deemed to have vested, and the shares of Stock or cash subject thereto shall
be delivered, and all Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be deemed to have vested, and the shares of Stock or cash subject thereto
shall be delivered, immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control, and either or both of the following two (2)
actions shall be taken:

 

		(i)	fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled consummation of such Change in Control, all Options
outstanding hereunder shall become immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days, which
exercise shall be effective upon such consummation; or

 

		(ii)	the Committee may elect, in its sole discretion, to cancel any outstanding Awards of Options, Restricted
Stock, Stock Units, and/or Dividend Equivalent Rights and pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the holder thereof
an amount in cash or securities having a value (as determined by the Committee acting in good faith), in the case of Restricted
Stock or Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Rights (for shares of Stock subject thereto), equal to the formula or fixed price
per share paid to holders of shares of Stock pursuant to such Change in Control and, in the case of Options, equal to the product
of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Options (the “Award Stock”) multiplied by the amount, if any,
by which (x) the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Stock pursuant to such transaction exceeds
(y) the Option Price applicable to such Award Stock.

 

		(b)	Performance-Based Awards shall be treated as though target performance has been achieved and will
be paid in cash or converted into Unrestricted Stock. After application of this Section 16.3(b), if any Awards arise
from application of this Section 16, such Awards shall be settled under the applicable provision of Section 16.3(a).

 

		(c)	Other Equity-Based Awards shall be governed by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement.

 

With respect to the Company’s
establishment of an exercise window, (A) any exercise of an Option during the fifteen (15)-day period referred to above shall
be conditioned upon the consummation of the applicable Change in Control and shall be effective only immediately before the consummation
thereof, and (B) upon consummation of any Change in Control, the Plan and all outstanding but unexercised Options shall terminate.
The Committee shall send notice of an event that shall result in such a termination to all natural persons and entities who hold
Options not later than the time at which the Company gives notice thereof to its stockholders.

 

    29

     

    

 

		16.4	Change in Control in which Awards are Assumed.

 

Upon the occurrence of
a Change in Control in which outstanding Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Rights, or Other Equity-Based
Awards are being assumed or continued, the following provisions shall apply to such Award, to the extent assumed or continued:

 

The Plan and the Options,
Restricted Stock, Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Rights, and Other Equity-Based Awards granted under the Plan shall continue
in the manner and under the terms so provided in the event of any Change in Control to the extent that provision is made in writing
in connection with such Change in Control for the assumption or continuation of such Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Units, Dividend
Equivalent Rights, and Other Equity-Based Awards, or for the substitution for such Options, Restricted Stock, Stock Units, Dividend
Equivalent Rights, and Other Equity-Based Awards of new common stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, common
stock units, dividend equivalent rights, and other equity-based awards relating to the stock of a successor entity, or a parent
or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number of shares (disregarding any consideration that is not common
stock) and option and stock appreciation rights exercise prices.

 

In the event a Grantee’s
Award is assumed, continued, or substituted upon the consummation of any Change in Control and the Grantee’s employment is
terminated by the Company or an Affiliate without Cause within one (1) year following the consummation of such Change in Control,
the Grantee’s Award shall become fully vested as of such termination and may be exercised in full, to the extent applicable,
beginning on the date of such termination and for the one (1)-year period immediately following such termination or for such longer
period as the Committee shall determine (but in no event later than the original expiration date of the Award).

 

		16.5	Adjustments.

 

Adjustments under this
Section 16 related to shares of Capital Stock or other securities of the Company shall be made by the Committee, whose
determination in that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive. No fractional shares or other securities shall be issued
pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding
downward to the nearest whole share. The Committee may provide in the applicable Award Agreement as of the Grant Date, in another
agreement with the Grantee, or otherwise in writing at any time thereafter with the consent of the Grantee, for different provisions
to apply to an Award in place of those provided in Sections 16.1, 16.2, 16.3, and 16.4. This Section 16
shall not limit the Committee’s ability to provide for alternative treatment of Awards outstanding under the Plan in the
event of a change in control event involving the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate that is not a Change in Control.

 

		16.6	No Limitations on Company.

 

The making of Awards
pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets (including all or any part of the business or assets of any Subsidiary or other
Affiliate) or engage in any other transaction or activity.

 

    30

     

    

 

		17.	GENERAL PROVISIONS

  

		17.1	Disclaimer of Rights.

 

No provision in the Plan,
any Award, or any Award Agreement shall be construed to (a) confer upon any individual the right to remain in the Service of the
Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate, (b) interfere in any way with any contractual or other right or authority of the Company, the
Bank, or an Affiliate either to increase or decrease the compensation or other payments to any Person at any time, or (c) terminate
any Service or other relationship between any Person and the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate. In addition, notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Award Agreement, in another agreement with the
Grantee, or otherwise in writing, no Award granted under the Plan shall be affected by any change of duties or position of the
Grantee thereof, so long as such Grantee continues to provide Service. The obligation of the Company to pay any benefits pursuant
to the Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual obligation to pay only those amounts provided herein, in the manner and under
the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan and Awards shall in no way be interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts
to a third-party trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any Grantee or beneficiary under the terms
of the Plan.

 

		17.2	Nonexclusivity of the Plan.

 

Neither the adoption
of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations
upon the right and authority of the Board or the Committee to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements
may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular individual or particular
individuals) as the Board or the Committee in their discretion determine desirable.

 

		17.3	Withholding Taxes.

 

The Company, the Bank,
or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal,
state, or local taxes of any kind required by Applicable Law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions
applicable to an Award or upon the issuance of any shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option or pursuant to any other Award.
At the time of such vesting, lapse, or exercise, the Grantee shall pay in cash to the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate, as the
case may be, any amount that the Company, the Bank, or such Affiliate may reasonably determine to be necessary to satisfy such
withholding obligation; provided, that if there is a same-day sale of shares of Stock subject to an Award, the Grantee shall
pay such withholding obligation on the day on which such same-day sale is completed. Subject to the prior approval of the Company,
the Bank, or an Affiliate, which may be withheld by the Company, the Bank, or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its sole discretion,
the Grantee may elect to satisfy such withholding obligation, in whole or in part, (a) by causing the Company, the Bank, or
such Affiliate to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee or (b) by delivering to the Company, the Bank,
or such Affiliate shares of Stock already owned by the Grantee. The shares of Stock so withheld or delivered shall have an aggregate
Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligation. The Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock used to satisfy such withholding
obligation shall be determined by the Company, the Bank, or such Affiliate as of the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld
is to be determined. A Grantee who has made an election pursuant to this Section 17.3 may satisfy such Grantee’s
withholding obligation only with shares of Stock that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other
similar requirements.

 

    31

     

    

 

The maximum number of
shares of Stock that may be withheld from any Award to satisfy any federal, state, or local tax withholding requirements upon the
exercise, vesting, or lapse of restrictions applicable to any Award or payment of shares of Stock pursuant to such Award, as applicable,
may not exceed such number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required by the
Company, the Bank, or the applicable Affiliate to be withheld and paid to any such federal, state, or local taxing authority with
respect to such exercise, vesting, lapse of restrictions, or payment of shares of Stock; provided, however, for so long as Accounting
Standards Update 2016-09 or a similar rule remains in effect, the Board or the Committee has full discretion to choose, or to allow
a Grantee to elect, to withhold a number of shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable
minimum required statutory withholding obligation (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum required statutory
withholding amount(s) in such Grantee’s relevant tax jurisdictions).

 

		17.4	Captions.

 

The use of captions in
the Plan or any Award Agreement is for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of the Plan
or such Award Agreement.

 

		17.5	Construction.

 

Unless the context otherwise
requires, all references in the Plan to “including” shall mean “including without limitation.”

 

		17.6	Other Provisions.

 

Each Award granted under
the Plan may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee, in its
sole discretion.

 

		17.7	Number and Gender.

 

With respect to words
used in the Plan, the singular form shall include the plural form, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender,
as the context requires.

 

    32

     

    

 

		17.8	Severability.

 

If any provision of the
Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain
enforceable in any other jurisdiction.

 

		17.9	Governing Law.

 

The validity and construction
of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance
with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise
refer construction or interpretation of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards granted hereunder to the substantive
laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

		17.10	Section 409A of the Code.

 

The Plan is intended
to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan will
be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Code Section 409A. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within
the Short-Term Deferral Period will not be treated as deferred compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Code Section
409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six
(6)-month period immediately following the Grantee’s Separation from Service will instead be paid on the first payroll date
after the six (6)-month anniversary of the Grantee’s separation from service (or the Grantee’s death, if earlier).

 

Furthermore, notwithstanding
anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the case of an Award that is characterized as deferred compensation under Code Section 409A,
and pursuant to which settlement and delivery of the cash or shares of Stock subject to the Award is triggered based on a Change
in Control, in no event will a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred for purposes of such settlement and delivery of cash
or Stock if the transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of” the Company or “a
change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company as determined under Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder). If an Award characterized as deferred compensation under
Code Section 409A is not settled and delivered on account of the provision of the preceding sentence, the settlement and delivery
will occur on the next succeeding settlement and delivery triggering event that is a permissible triggering event under Code Section 409A.
No provision of this paragraph will in any way affect the determination of a Change in Control for purposes of vesting in an Award
that is characterized as deferred compensation under Code Section 409A.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
neither the Company, the Bank, any Affiliate nor the Committee will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment
of any excise tax or penalty on any Grantee under Code Section 409A and neither the Company, the Bank, any Affiliate nor the Committee
will have any liability to any Grantee for such tax or penalty.

Incentive
Stock OPTION AGREEMENT

 

	Incentive Stock Option 	
        This Agreement evidences an award of an
        Option exercisable for that number of shares of Stock set forth on the cover sheet of this Agreement and subject to the vesting
        and other conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan.

        

         

        This Option is intended to be an “incentive
        stock option” under Section 422 of the Code and will be interpreted accordingly. If you cease to be an employee of the Company,
        its parent, the Bank, or a subsidiary (an “Employee”) but continue to provide Service, this Option will be deemed
        a Non-Qualified Stock Option as of the date three (3) months and one (1) day after you cease to be an Employee. In addition, to
        the extent that all or part of this Option exceeds the “$100,000 per year limitation” rule of Section 422(d) of the
        Code, this Option or the lesser excess part will be deemed to be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

         

	Vesting	
        This Option is exercisable only before
        it expires and then only with respect to the vested portion of the Option.

         

        Subject to Section 16 of the Plan, the
        Option will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule shown on the cover sheet of this Agreement, so long as you continue in
        Service on each applicable vesting date set forth on the cover sheet of this Agreement. The resulting aggregate number of vested
        shares covered by the Option will be rounded to the nearest whole number, and you cannot vest in more than the total number of
        shares covered by the Option.

         

        Except as provided under “Death”
        or “Disability” below, no additional shares of Stock will vest after your Service has terminated for any reason.

         

	Term	
        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
        to the contrary, your Option will expire in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the tenth
        (10th) anniversary (or, if you are a Ten Percent Stockholder, on the day before the fifth (5th) anniversary)
        of the Grant Date, as shown on the cover sheet of this Agreement. Your Option will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as
        described herein.

         

	Regular Termination	
        Subject to Section 16 of the Plan, if your
        Service terminates for any reason other than death, Disability, or Cause, then your Option will expire at the close of business
        at Company headquarters on the thirtieth (30th) day after your termination of Service.

         

	Termination for Cause	
        If your Service is terminated for Cause,
        you will immediately forfeit all rights to your Option, and the Option will immediately expire. You will be prohibited from exercising
        the Option from and after the time of such termination of Service.

         

	Death 	If your Service terminates because of your death, then your Option will become fully vested and will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after your date of death. During that twelve (12)-month period, your estate or heirs may exercise your Option.

 

    2 

     

    

 

	Disability	If your Service terminates because of your Disability, then your Option will become fully vested and will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date twelve (12) months after your termination of Service. 
	Leaves of Absence	
        For purposes of this Agreement, your Service
        does not terminate when you go on a bona fide employee leave of absence that was approved by the Company, the Bank, or any
        Affiliate in writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued Service crediting, or when continued Service crediting is
        required by applicable law. However, your Service will be treated as terminating ninety (90) days after you went on employee leave,
        unless your right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Your Service terminates in any event when the
        approved leave ends unless you immediately return to active employee work.

         

        The Committee determines, in its sole discretion,
        which leaves count for this purpose and when your Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan.

         

	Forfeiture of Unvested Option	
        Unless the termination of your Service
        triggers accelerated vesting or other treatment of your Option pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan, or any other
        written agreement between the Company, the Bank, or an Affiliate and you, you will automatically forfeit to the Company those portions
        of the Option that have not yet vested in the event your Service terminates for any reason.

         

	Notice of Exercise	
        The Option may be exercised, in whole or
        in part, to purchase a whole number of vested shares of Stock of not less than one hundred (100) shares, unless the number of vested
        shares of Stock purchased is the total number available for purchase under the Option, by following the procedures set forth in
        the Plan and in this Agreement.

         

        When you wish to exercise this Option,
        you must exercise in a manner required or permitted by the Company.

         

        If someone else wants to exercise this
        Option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.

         

	Form of Payment	
        When you exercise your Option, you must
        include payment of the Option Price indicated on the cover sheet for the shares of Stock you are purchasing. Payment may be made
        in one (or a combination) of the following forms:

         

        ●     Cash,
        your personal check, a cashier’s check, a money order, or another cash equivalent acceptable to the Company.

        

        ●     Shares
        of Stock that are owned by you and that are surrendered to the Company. The Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock as of the
        effective date of the Option exercise will be applied to the Option Price.

        

        ●     By
delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed securities broker acceptable to the Company
to sell shares of Stock and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Option Price
and any required withholding taxes (if approved in advance by the Committee or the Board if you are either an executive officer
or a director of the Company).

 

    3 

     

    

 

	Evidence of Issuance	
        The issuance of the shares of Stock upon
        exercise of this Option will be evidenced in such a manner as the Company, in its discretion, will deem appropriate, including,
        without limitation, book-entry, registration, or issuance of one or more share certificates.

         

	Withholding Taxes	
        You agree as a condition of this Option
        that you will make acceptable arrangements to pay any withholding or other taxes that may be due as a result of or in connection
        with the Option, including the Option exercise or sale of shares of Stock acquired under this Option. In the event that the Company,
        the Bank, or any Affiliate determines that any federal, state, local, or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating
        to the Option, the Company, the Bank, or any Affiliate will have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such
        amounts from other payments due to you from the Company, the Bank, or any Affiliate. To satisfy this withholding obligation, the
        Company may provide you with the opportunity, in its discretion, to have the Company withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable
        to you or by delivering to the Company shares of Stock already owned by you. If the Company provides you with the foregoing opportunity
        and you fail to make an election to do either, the Company may determine which method to use, including by withholding shares of
        Stock otherwise issuable to you. The shares of Stock so delivered or withheld must have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to
        the withholding obligation and may not be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar requirements.

         

	Transfer of Option	
        During your lifetime, only you (or, in
        the event of your legal incapacity or incompetency, your guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Option. The Option
        may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, whether by operation of law or otherwise,
        nor may the Option be made subject to execution, attachment, or similar process. If you attempt to do any of these things, this
        Option will immediately become forfeited.

         

	Notice of Subsequent 

Disposition of Shares	
        You must notify the Company in writing
        within ten (10) days after the date of any disposition of the shares of Stock issued upon exercise of this Option that occurs within
        two (2) years after the Grant Date set forth on the cover sheet of this Agreement or within one (1) year after the shares of Stock
        are transferred to you upon exercise of the Option.

         

	Retention Rights	
        This Agreement and the grant evidenced
        by this Agreement do not give you the right to be retained or employed by the Company, the Bank, or any Affiliate in any capacity.
        Unless otherwise specified in an employment or other written agreement between the Company, the Bank, or any Affiliate and you,
        the Company, the Bank, and any Affiliate reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time and for any reason.

         

	Stockholder Rights	
        You, or your estate or heirs, have
no rights as a stockholder of the Company until the shares of Stock have been fully paid for upon exercise of your Option and
either a share certificate evidencing your shares of Stock have been issued or an appropriate entry has been made on the Company’s
books. No adjustments are made for dividends, distributions, or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your
share certificate is issued (or an appropriate entry is made), except as described in the Plan.

         

 

    4 

     

    

 

	 	Your Option will be subject to the terms
        of any applicable agreement of merger, liquidation, or reorganization in the event the Company is subject to such corporate activity.
	 	 
	Forfeiture of Rights	
        If you should take actions in violation
        or breach of or in conflict with (i) any employment agreement, (ii) any non-competition agreement, (iii) any agreement prohibiting
        solicitation of employees or clients of the Company, the Bank, or any Affiliate, (iv) any confidentiality obligation with respect
        to the Company, the Bank, or any Affiliate, (v) any Company or Bank policy or procedure, (vi) any other agreement, or (vii) any
        other obligation between you and the Company, the Bank, or any Affiliate, the Company has the right to cause an immediate forfeiture
        of the gain, if any, you have realized under this Agreement and your rights to this Option, and the Option will immediately expire.

         

	Recoupment	
        This Option is subject to mandatory repayment
        by you to the Company to the extent you are or in the future become subject to (i) any Company or Bank “clawback” or
        recoupment policy or (ii) any law, rule, or regulation that requires the repayment by you to the Company of compensation paid by
        the Company to you in the event that you fail to comply with, or violate, the terms or requirements of such policy or law, rule,
        or regulation.

         

        If the Company is required to prepare an
        accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting
        requirement under the securities laws and you knowingly engaged in the misconduct, were grossly negligent in engaging in the misconduct,
        knowingly failed to prevent the misconduct, or were grossly negligent in failing to prevent the misconduct, you will reimburse
        the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of this Option earned or accrued during the twelve (12)-month period following
        the first public issuance or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document
        that contained such material noncompliance.

         

	Applicable Law	
        This Agreement will be interpreted and
        enforced under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, other than any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that
        might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of this Agreement to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.

         

	The Plan	
        The text of the Plan is incorporated into
        this Agreement by reference.

         

        Certain capitalized terms used in
        the Agreement are defined in the Plan and have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

         

        This Agreement and the Plan constitute
        the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this Option. Any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations
        concerning this grant are superseded, except that any written employment, consulting, confidentiality, non-solicitation, and/or
        severance agreement between you and the Company, the Bank, or any Affiliate will supersede this Agreement with respect to its subject
        matter.

         

	Data Privacy	
        To administer the Plan, the Company, the
        Bank, or their Affiliates may process personal data about you. Such data includes, but is not limited to, information provided
        in this Agreement and any changes thereto, other appropriate personal and financial data about you, such as your contact information,
        payroll information, and any other information that might be deemed appropriate by the Company to facilitate the administration
        of the Plan.

        

         

 

    5 

     

    

 

	 	By accepting this Option, you give explicit
        consent to the Company, the Bank, and their Affiliates to process any such personal data.
	Consent to Electronic Delivery	The Company may choose to deliver certain statutory materials relating to the Plan in electronic form. By accepting this Option you agree that the Company may deliver the Plan prospectus and the Company’s annual report to you in an electronic format. If at any time you would prefer to receive paper copies of these documents, as you are entitled to, the Company would be pleased to provide copies. Please contact the Company’s Human Resources Department to request paper copies of these documents.
	Code Section 409A	The Option is intended to be exempt from, or to comply with, Code Section 409A to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement will be interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Agreement, neither the Company, the Bank, their Affiliates, the Board, nor the Committee will have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on you under Code Section 409A and neither the Company, the Bank, their Affiliates, the Board, nor the Committee will have any liability to you for such tax or penalty.

 

By signing this Agreement, you agree
to all of the terms and conditions

described above and in the Plan.
