 ARTICLE 2 
 LIFETIME BENEFITS 
  
 2.1 Normal Retirement Benefit. Upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment on or after the Normal Retirement Age for reasons other than
death, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.1 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. 
  

	 	2.1.1 Amount	of Benefit. The annual benefit under this Section 2.1 is $25,000. The Bank’s Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, increase the annual benefit under this
Section 2.1.1, but any increase shall require recalculation of Schedule A. The benefits reflected in Schedule A are based on the assumption that the Executive retires at age 65. If the Executive instead continues to serve as an officer of the Bank
after the Normal Retirement Age, the benefits reflected in Schedule A shall be recalculated annually until the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, using the same discount rate reflected in Schedule A. 

  

	 	2.1.2	 Payment of Benefit. Beginning with the month after the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, the Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal
monthly installments on the first day of each month. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for 15 years. 

  
 2.2 Early Termination Benefit. Upon Early Termination, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.2 instead of any
other benefit under this Agreement. 
  

	 	2.2.1	 Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.2 is the Early Termination Annual Benefit amount set forth in Schedule A for the Plan Year ending immediately before
the Early Termination Date (except during the first Plan Year, this benefit is the amount set forth for Plan Year 1). The Bank’s Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, increase the annual benefit under this Section 2.2.1, but any
increase shall require recalculation of Schedule A. 

  

	 	2.2.2 Payment	of Benefit. Beginning with the month after the Normal Retirement Age, the Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments on the first day
of each month. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for 15 years. 

  

 3 

 2.3 Disability Benefit. If the Executive terminates employment because of Disability before the
Normal Retirement Age, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.3 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. 
  

	 	2.3.1. Amount	of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.3 is the Disability Annual Benefit amount set forth in Schedule A for the Plan Year ending immediately before the date on which
termination of the Executive’s employment occurs (except during the first Plan Year, this benefit is the amount set forth for Plan Year 1). The Bank’s Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, increase the annual benefit under this
Section 2.3.1, but any increase shall require recalculation of Schedule A. 

  

	 	2.3.2	 Payment of Benefit. Beginning with the month after the Normal Retirement Age, the Bank shall pay the Disability Annual Benefit amount to the Executive in 12 equal
monthly installments on the first day of each month. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for 15 years. 

  
 2.4 Change-in-Control Benefit. If the Executive’s employment with the Bank terminates involuntarily within 24 months after the first
occurrence of a Change in Control or in the event the Executive terminates employment voluntarily for Good Reason within 24 months of such Change in Control, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.4 instead of
any other benefit under this Agreement. However, no benefits shall be payable under this Agreement if the Executive’s employment is terminated under Article 5 of this Agreement. 
  

	 	2.4.1	 Amount of Benefit. For a Change in Control occurring from the Effective Date of this Agreement through April 7, 2017, the Change-in-Control Benefit is determined by
taking the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age Accrual Balance ($226,141) and discounting that sum at a 4% discount rate. For example, assume that a Change in Control occurs on January 30, 2003 and the Executive is involuntarily terminated from
employment with the Bank on that date. The Executive’s Change-in-Control Benefit would be determined by taking the $226,141 Accrual Balance that would exist at the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age and discounting that figure at a 4%
discount rate, which produces a Change-in-Control Benefit of $122,999 payable no later than February 2, 2003. 

  

	 	2.4.2 Payment	of Benefit: The Bank shall pay the Change-in-Control benefit under Section 2.4 of this Agreement to the Executive in one lump sum within three days after the Executive’s
Termination of Employment. 

  
 2.5 Petition for
Payment of Vested Normal Retirement Benefit, Vested Early Termination Benefit or Vested Disability Benefit. To the extent the Executive is entitled to the normal retirement benefit provided by Section 2.1, the Early Termination benefit
provided by Section 2.2, or the Disability benefit provided by Section 2.3, the Executive may petition the Board of Directors to have the Accrual Balance amount corresponding to that particular benefit paid to the Executive in a single lump sum
after (i) deduction of any normal retirement benefits, Early Termination benefits or Disability benefits already paid and (ii) addition of interest at the rate of 7.5% on the Accrual Balance not yet paid for the period from Termination of Employment
to payment of the lump sum amount. The Board of Directors shall have sole and absolute discretion about whether to pay the remaining Accrual Balance in a lump sum. If payment of the remaining Accrual Balance is paid in a single lump sum, the Bank
shall have no further obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 2.6
Change-in-Control Payout of Vested Normal Retirement Benefit, Vested Early Termination Benefit or Vested Disability Benefit Being Paid to the Executive at the Time of a Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs at any time during the
entire 15-year salary continuation benefit payment period and if at the time of that Change in Control the Executive is receiving the benefit provided by Section 2.1.2, Section 2.2.2 or Section 2.3.2, the Bank shall pay the remaining salary
continuation benefits to the Executive, her beneficiaries, or estate in a lump sum within three days after the Change in Control. The lump-sum payment due to the Executive, her beneficiaries or estate as a result of a Change in Control shall be an
amount equal to the Accrual Balance amount corresponding to 

  

 4 

 
that particular benefit then being paid to the Executive, her estate or beneficiaries pursuant to Section 2.1.2, Section 2.2.2 or Section 2.3.2 after (i)
deduction of any normal retirement benefits, Early Termination benefits or Disability benefits already paid and (ii) addition of interest at the rate of 7.5% on the Accrual Balance not yet paid for the period from Termination of Employment to
payment of the lump sum amount. 
  
 2.7 Contradiction in Terms
of Agreement and Schedule A. If there is a contradiction in the terms of this Agreement and the Schedule A attached hereto with the actual amount of a particular benefit amount due the Executive pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 hereof, then
the actual amount of said benefit set forth in the Agreement shall control. 
  
 ARTICLE 3 
 DEATH BENEFITS 
  
 3.1 Death During Active Service. Except as provided in Section 5.2, if
the Executive dies in active service to the Bank before Normal Retirement Age, instead of any benefit payable under this Agreement the Bank shall pay to the Executive’s beneficiary(ies) the benefit described in the Split Dollar Agreement and
Endorsement attached to this Agreement as Addendum A. 
  
 3.2
Death During Benefit Period. If the Executive dies after benefit payments under Article 2 of this Agreement have commenced but before receiving all such payments, the Bank shall pay the remaining benefits to the Executive’s
beneficiary(ies) at the same time and in the same amounts they would have been paid to the Executive had the Executive survived. In that case, no death benefit shall be payable under this Article 3. 
  
 3.3 Death After Termination of Employment But Before Benefit Payments
Commence. If the Executive is entitled to benefit payments under Article 2 but dies before payments commence, the benefits shall be payable to the Executive’s beneficiary(ies), but payments shall commence on the first day of the month after
the date of the Executive’s death. Payments shall be made in the same amounts they would have been paid to the Executive had the Executive survived. 
  
 3.4 Petition for Benefit Payments. To the extent that the Executive dies before receiving any or all benefit payments to which she is entitled
under Section 2.1, Section 2.2, or Section 2.3, respectively, the Executive’s beneficiary(ies) or estate may petition the Board of Directors to have the Accrual Balance corresponding to that particular benefit paid to the Executive’s
beneficiary(ies) or estate in a single lump sum after (i) deduction of any normal retirement benefits, Early Termination benefits or Disability benefits already paid and (ii) addition of interest at the rate of 7.5% on the Accrual Balance not yet
paid for the period from the Executive’s Termination of Employment to payment of the lump sum amount. The Board of Directors shall have sole and absolute discretion about whether to pay the remaining Accrual Balance in a lump sum. If payment of
the remaining Accrual Balance is paid in a single lump sum, the Bank shall have no further obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 3.5 Change-in-Control Payout of Vested Normal Retirement Benefit, Vested Early Termination Benefit or Vested Disability Benefit Being Paid to the
Executive’s Estate or Beneficiaries at the Time of a Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs at any time during the entire 15-year salary continuation benefit payment period and if at the time of that Change in Control the
Executive’s estate or beneficiaries is receiving the benefit provided by Section 2.1.2, Section 2.2.2 or Section 2.3.2, the Bank shall pay the remaining salary continuation benefits to the Executive’s beneficiaries or estate in a lump sum
within three days after the Change in Control. The lump-sum payment due to the Executive’s beneficiaries or estate as a result of a Change in Control shall be an amount equal to the Accrual Balance amount corresponding to that particular
benefit then being paid to the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries pursuant to Section 2.1.2, Section 2.2.2 or Section 2.3.2 after (i) deduction of any normal retirement benefits, Early Termination benefits or Disability benefits already paid
and (ii) addition of interest at the rate of 7.5% on the Accrual Balance not yet paid for the period from Termination of Employment to payment of the lump sum amount.

beneficiary predeceases the Executive, or if the Executive names a spouse as beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary designation, all payments shall be made to the Executive’s
estate. 
  
 4.2 Facility of Payment. If a benefit is
payable to a minor, to a person declared incapacitated, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Bank may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such

liability for such benefit.

and transferees. 
  
 7.3 No Guarantee of Employment. This
Agreement is not an employment policy or contract. It does not give the Executive the right to remain an employee of the Bank, nor does it interfere with the Bank’s right to discharge the Executive. It also does not require the Executive to
remain an employee nor interfere with the Executive’s right to terminate employment at any time. 
  
 7.4 Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached, or encumbered in any manner.

  
 7.5 Successors; Binding Agreement. By an assumption
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, the Bank will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Bank to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform this Agreement if no such succession had occurred. The Bank’s failure to obtain such an assumption
agreement before the succession becomes effective shall be considered a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to the Change-in-Control benefit provided in Section 2.4. 
  
 7.6 Tax Withholding. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are required to be withheld from the benefits provided
under this Agreement. 
  
 7.7 Applicable Law. Except to the

effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such state. 
  
 7.8 Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and her beneficiary(ies) are general unsecured creditors of the Bank for the payment of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Bank to pay such benefits.
The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Executive’s life is a general asset of the Bank to
which the Executive and beneficiary(ies) have no preferred or secured claim.

is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement not held so invalid, and each such other provision shall, to the full extent consistent with the law, continue in full force and effect. If any provision of this
Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the remainder of such provision, not held so invalid, and the remainder of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement shall, to the full extent
consistent with the law, continue in full force and effect. 
  
 7.12 Headings. The headings of Sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

 ADDENDUM A 
 NEWMIL BANK 
 SPLIT
DOLLAR AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS SPLIT DOLLAR AGREEMENT is entered into as of this 1st day of January, 2002, by and between NewMil Bank, a Connecticut-chartered, FDIC-insured savings bank with its main office in New Milford, Connecticut (the “Bank”) and Diane Farrell, its
Senior Vice President of NewMil Bank (the “Executive”). This Split Dollar Agreement shall append the Split Dollar Endorsement entered into on even date herewith, or as subsequently amended, by and between the aforementioned parties.

  
 To encourage the Executive to remain an employee of the Bank,
the Bank is willing to divide the death proceeds of a life insurance policy on the Executive’s life to be effective until the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age of 65. The Bank will pay life insurance premiums from its general assets.

  
 ARTICLE 1 
 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 
  
 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Split Dollar Agreement are used herein as defined in the Salary Continuation Agreement of even date
herewith. The following terms shall have the meanings specified: 
  
 “Insurer” means Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. 
  
 “Policy” means insurance policy no. 0046723 issued by the Insurer. 
  
 “Insured” means the Executive. 
  
 ARTICLE 2 
 POLICY OWNERSHIP/INTERESTS 
  
 2.1 Bank Ownership. The Bank is the sole owner of the Policy and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership. The Bank shall be the beneficiary of any death proceeds remaining after the
Executive’s interest has been paid under Section 2.2 of this Split Dollar Agreement. 
  
 2.2 Executive’s Interest. The Executive shall have the right to designate the beneficiary(ies) of death proceeds in the amount of $226,141. The Executive shall also have the right to elect and
change settlement options specified in the Policy that may be permitted. However, the Executive, the Executive’s transferee or the Executive’s beneficiary(ies) shall have no rights or interests in the Policy for that portion of the death
proceeds designated in this Section 2.2 if the Executive is not in the full-time employment of the Bank at the time of death, except for reason of a leave of absence approved by the Bank. 
  
 2.3 Option to Purchase. The Bank shall not sell, surrender or transfer ownership of the Policy while this Split
Dollar Agreement is in effect without first giving the Executive or the Executive’s transferee a right of first refusal to purchase the Policy for the Policy’s interpolated terminal reserve value. The right of first refusal to purchase the
Policy must be exercised within 60 days from the date the Bank gives written notice of the Bank’s intention to sell, surrender or transfer ownership of the Policy. This provision shall not impair the right of the Bank to terminate this Split
Dollar Agreement. 
  
 2.4 Comparable Coverage. Upon
execution of this Agreement, the Bank shall maintain the Policy in full force and effect, and the Bank shall not amend, terminate or otherwise abrogate the Executive’s interest in the Policy unless the Bank (a) replaces the Policy with a
comparable insurance policy to cover the benefit provided under this Split Dollar Agreement and (b) executes a new Split Dollar Agreement and Endorsement for the comparable insurance policy. The Policy or any comparable policy shall be subject to
the claims of the Bank’s creditors. 
  
 ARTICLE 3 
 PREMIUMS 
  
 3.1 Premium Payment. The Bank shall pay any premiums due on the Policy. 
  

 14 

 3.2 Imputed Income. The Bank shall impute income to the Executive in an amount equal to (a) the
current term rate for the Executive’s age, multiplied by (b) the net death benefit payable to the Executive’s beneficiary(ies). The “current term rate” is the minimum amount required to be imputed under Revenue Rulings 64-328 and
66-110, or any subsequent applicable authority. 
  
 ARTICLE 4 
 ASSIGNMENT 
  
 The Executive may assign without consideration all interests in the Policy and in this Split Dollar Agreement to any person,
entity or trust. If the Executive transfers all of the Executive’s interest in the Policy, then all of the Executive’s interest in the Policy and in the Split Dollar Agreement shall be vested in the Executive’s transferee, who shall
be substituted as a party hereunder, and the Executive shall have no further interest in the Policy or in this Split Dollar Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 5 
 INSURER 
  
 The Insurer shall be
bound only by the terms of the Policy. Any payments the Insurer makes or actions it takes in accordance with the Policy shall fully discharge it from all claims, suits and demands of all entities or persons. The Insurer shall not be bound by or be
deemed to have notice of the provisions of this Split Dollar Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 6 
 CLAIMS PROCEDURE 
  
 6.1 Claims Procedure. A person or beneficiary (“claimant”)
who has not received benefits under the Agreement that he or she believes should be paid shall make a claim for such benefits as follows: 
  

	 	6.1.1	 Initiation – Written Claim. The claimant initiates a claim by submitting to the Bank a written claim for the benefits. 

  

	 	6.1.2	 Timing of Bank Response. The Bank shall respond to such claimant within 90 days after receiving the claim. If the Bank determines that special circumstances require
additional time for processing the claim, the Bank can extend the response period by an additional 90 days by notifying the claimant in writing, prior to the end of the initial 90-day period, that an additional period is required. The notice of
extension must set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the Bank expects to render its decision. 

  

	 	6.1.3 	Notice of Decision. If the Bank denies part or all of the claim, the Bank shall notify the claimant in writing of such denial. The Bank shall write the notification in a
manner calculated to be understood by the claimant. The notification shall set forth: 

  

	 	6.1.3.1 	The specific reasons for the denial, 

  

	 	6.1.3.2 	A reference to the specific provisions of the Agreement on which the denial is based, 

  

	 	6.1.3.3 	A description of any additional information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why it is needed, 

  

	 	6.1.3.4 	An explanation of the Agreement’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures, and 

  

	 	6.1.3.5 	A statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA (Employees Retirement Income Security Act) Section 502(a) following an adverse benefit determination on
review. 

  
 6.2 Review Procedure. If the Bank
denies part or all of the claim, the claimant shall have the opportunity for a full and fair review by the Bank of the denial, as follows: 
  

	 	6.2.1	 Initiation – Written Request. To initiate the review, the claimant, within 60 days after receiving the Bank’s notice of denial, must file with
the Bank a written request for review. 

  

 15 

	 	6.2.2	 Additional Submissions – Information Access. The claimant shall then have the opportunity to submit written comments, documents, records and other
information relating to the claim. The Bank shall also provide the claimant, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant (as defined in applicable ERISA regulations) to
the claimant’s claim for benefits. 

  

	 	6.2.3	 Considerations on Review. In considering the review, the Bank shall take into account all materials and information the claimant submits relating to the claim, without
regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. 

  

	 	6.2.4	 Timing of Bank Response. The Bank shall respond in writing to such claimant within 60 days after receiving the request for review. If the Bank determines that special
circumstances require additional time for processing the claim, the Bank can extend the response period by an additional 60 days by notifying the claimant in writing, prior to the end of the initial 60-day period, that an additional period is
required. The notice of extension must set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the Bank expects to render its decision. 

  

	 	6.2.5	 Notice of Decision. The Bank shall notify the claimant in writing of its decision on review. The Bank shall write the notification in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant. The notification shall set forth: 

  

	 	6.2.5.1 	The specific reason for the denial, 

  

	 	6.2.5.2 	A reference to the specific provisions of the Agreement on which the denial is based, 

  

	 	6.2.5.3 	A statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant (as
defined in applicable ERISA regulations) to the claimant’s claim for benefits, and 

  

	 	6.2.5.4 	A statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under ERISA Section 502(a). 

  
 ARTICLE 7 
 AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION 
  
 This Split Dollar Agreement may be amended or terminated only by a writing signed by the Bank and the Executive. However, unless otherwise agreed to by
the Bank and the Executive, this Split Dollar Agreement will automatically terminate upon the Executive’s 65th
birthday. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 8.1 Binding Effect. This Split Dollar Agreement shall bind the Executive and the Bank and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators
and transferees, and any Policy beneficiary. 
  
 8.2 No
Guarantee of Employment. This Split Dollar Agreement is not an employment policy or contract. It does not give the Executive the right to remain an employee of the Bank, nor does it interfere with the Bank’s right to discharge the
Executive. It also does not require the Executive to remain an employee nor interfere with the Executive’s right to terminate employment at any time. 
  
 8.3 Successors; Binding Agreement. By an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, the Bank shall require any
successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Bank to expressly assume and agree to perform this Split Dollar Agreement in the same manner and to
the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform this Split Dollar Agreement if no succession had occurred. The Bank’s failure to obtain such an assumption agreement before succession becomes effective shall be considered a breach of
the Split Dollar Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to the Change-in-Control Benefits payable under Section 2.4 of the Salary Continuation Agreement between the Bank and the Executive of even date herewith. 
  

 16 

 8.4 Applicable Law. The Split Dollar Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be governed by and
construed according to the laws of the State of Connecticut, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the United States of America. 
  
 8.5 Entire Agreement. This Split Dollar Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Bank and the Executive concerning the subject matter
hereof. No rights are granted to the Executive under this Split Dollar Agreement other than those specifically set forth herein. 
  
 8.6 Administration. The Bank shall have powers which are necessary to administer this Split Dollar Agreement, including but not limited to the
power to: 
  

	 	(a)	interpret the provisions of the Split Dollar Agreement, 

  

	 	(b)	establish and revise the method of accounting for the Split Dollar Agreement, 

  

	 	(c)	maintain a record of benefit payments, and 

  

	 	(d)	establish rules and prescribe forms necessary or desirable to administer the Split Dollar Agreement. 

  
 8.7 Named Fiduciary. The Bank shall be the named fiduciary and plan administrator under this Split Dollar Agreement.
The Bank may delegate to others certain aspects of management and operational responsibilities, including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals. 
  
 8.8 Severability. If for any reason any provision of this Split Dollar
Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Split Dollar Agreement not held so invalid, and each such other provision shall, to the full extent consistent with the law, continue in full force and effect.
If any provision of this Split Dollar Agreement shall be held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the remainder of such provision, not held so invalid, and the remainder of such provision, together with all other provisions of
this Split Dollar Agreement shall, to the full extent consistent with the law, continue in full force and effect. 
  
 8.9 Headings. The headings of Sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation
of any provision of this Split Dollar Agreement. 
  
 8.10

 ARTICLE 2 
 LIFETIME BENEFITS 
  
 2.1 Normal Retirement Benefit. Upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment on or after the Normal Retirement Age for reasons other than
death, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.1 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. 
  

	 	2.1.1	Amount of Benefit. The annual benefit under this Section 2.1 is $25,000. The Bank’s Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, increase the annual benefit under
this Section 2.1.1, but any increase shall require recalculation of Schedule A. The benefits reflected in Schedule A are based on the assumption that the Executive retires at age 70. If the Executive instead continues to serve as an officer of the
Bank after the Normal Retirement Age, the benefits reflected in Schedule A shall be recalculated annually until the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, using the same discount rate reflected in Schedule A. 

  

	 	2.1.2	Payment of Benefit. Beginning with the month after the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, the Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly
installments on the first day of each month. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for 15 years. 

  
 2.2 Early Termination Benefit. Upon Early Termination, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.2 instead of any
other benefit under this Agreement. 
  

	 	2.2.1	Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.2 is the Early Termination Annual Benefit amount set forth in Schedule A for the Plan Year ending immediately before the
Early Termination Date (except during the first Plan Year, this benefit is the amount set forth for Plan Year 1). The Bank’s Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, increase the annual benefit under this Section 2.2.1, but any increase
shall require recalculation of Schedule A. 

  

 3 

	 	2.2.2	Payment of Benefit. Beginning with the month after the Normal Retirement Age, the Bank shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments on the
first day of each month. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for 15 years. 

  
 2.3 Disability Benefit. If the Executive terminates employment because of Disability before the Normal Retirement Age, the Bank shall pay to the
Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.3 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. 
  

	 	2.3.1	Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.3 is the Disability Annual Benefit amount set forth in Schedule A for the Plan Year ending immediately before the date on
which termination of the Executive’s employment occurs (except during the first Plan Year, this benefit is the amount set forth for Plan Year 1). The Bank’s Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, increase the annual benefit under
this Section 2.3.1, but any increase shall require recalculation of Schedule A. 

  

	 	2.3.2	Payment of Benefit. Beginning with the month after the Normal Retirement Age, the Bank shall pay the Disability Annual Benefit amount to the Executive in 12 equal monthly
installments on the first day of each month. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for 15 years. 

  
 2.4 Change-in-Control Benefit. If the Executive’s employment with the Bank terminates involuntarily within 24 months after the first
occurrence of a Change in Control or in the event the Executive terminates employment voluntarily for Good Reason within 24 months of such Change in Control, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.4 instead of
any other benefit under this Agreement. However, no benefits shall be payable under this Agreement if the Executive’s employment is terminated under Article 5 of this Agreement. 
  

	 	2.4.1	Amount of Benefit. For a Change in Control occurring from the Effective Date of this Agreement through September 30, 2005, the Change-in-Control Benefit is determined by
taking the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age Accrual Balance ($226,141) and discounting that sum back to the Executive’s current age as if the Executive had an additional 12 months of service and 12 additional months of age on the date of
the Executive’s Termination of Employment at a 4% discount rate. For example, assume that a Change in Control occurs on January 30, 2003 and the Executive is involuntarily terminated from employment with the Bank on that date. The
Executive’s Change-in-Control Benefit would be determined by taking the $226,141 Accrual Balance that would exist at the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age and discounting that figure as if the Executive had 32 months left to retirement at
a 4% discount rate, which produces a Change-in-Control Benefit of $203,297 payable no later than February 2, 2003. For a Change in Control occurring from September 30, 2005 through the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age, the Change-in-Control
Benefit is $226,141. 

  

	 	2.4.2	Payment of Benefit: The Bank shall pay the Change-in-Control benefit under Section 2.4 of this Agreement to the Executive in one lump sum within three days after the
Executive’s Termination of Employment. 

  
 2.5
Petition for Payment of Vested Normal Retirement Benefit, Vested Early Termination Benefit or Vested Disability Benefit. To the extent the Executive is entitled to the normal retirement benefit provided by Section 2.1, the Early
Termination benefit provided by Section 2.2, or the Disability benefit provided by Section 2.3, the Executive may petition the Board of Directors to have the Accrual Balance amount corresponding to that particular benefit paid to the Executive in a
single lump sum after (i) deduction of any normal retirement benefits, Early Termination benefits or Disability benefits already paid and (ii) addition of interest at the rate of 7.5% on the Accrual Balance not yet paid for the period from
Termination of Employment to payment of the lump sum amount. The Board of Directors shall have sole and absolute discretion about whether to pay the remaining Accrual Balance in a lump sum. If payment of the remaining Accrual Balance is paid in a
single lump sum, the Bank shall have no further obligations under this Agreement. 
  

 4 

 2.6 Change-in-Control Payout of Vested Normal Retirement Benefit, Vested Early Termination Benefit or
Vested Disability Benefit Being Paid to the Executive at the Time of a Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs at any time during the entire 15-year salary continuation benefit payment period and if at the time of that Change in Control
the Executive is receiving the benefit provided by Section 2.1.2, Section 2.2.2 or Section 2.3.2, the Bank shall pay the remaining salary continuation benefits to the Executive, his beneficiaries, or estate in a lump sum within three days after the
Change in Control. The lump-sum payment due to the Executive, his beneficiaries or estate as a result of a Change in Control shall be an amount equal to the Accrual Balance amount corresponding to that particular benefit then being paid to the
Executive, his estate or beneficiaries pursuant to Section 2.1.2, Section 2.2.2 or Section 2.3.2 after (i) deduction of any normal retirement benefits, Early Termination benefits or Disability benefits already paid and (ii) addition of interest at
the rate of 7.5% on the Accrual Balance not yet paid for the period from Termination of Employment to payment of the lump sum amount. 
  
 2.7 Contradiction in Terms of Agreement and Schedule A. If there is a contradiction in the terms of this Agreement and the Schedule A attached
hereto with the actual amount of a particular benefit amount due the Executive pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3, or 2.4 hereof, then the actual amount of said benefit set forth in the Agreement shall control. 
  
 ARTICLE 3 
 DEATH BENEFITS 
  
 3.1 Death During Active Service. If the Executive dies in active service to the Bank before Normal Retirement Age, the Bank shall pay to the
Executive’s beneficiary(ies) in a single lump sum the Accrual Balance maintained by the Bank as of the end of the month in which the Executive dies. The benefit under this Section 3.1 is set forth on an illustrative basis only on the Schedule A
attached hereto under the column captioned “Vested Accrual Balance” if death occurs as of the Plan Year ends indicated before the Executive’s Normal Retirement Age. The Bank shall pay this benefit within seven days after the
Executive’s death. 
  
 3.2 Death During Benefit
Period. If the Executive dies after benefit payments under Article 2 of this Agreement have commenced but before receiving all such payments, the Bank shall pay the remaining benefits to the Executive’s beneficiary(ies) at the same time and
in the same amounts they would have been paid to the Executive had the Executive survived. In that case, no death benefit shall be payable under this Article 3. 
  

3.3 Death After Termination of Employment But Before Benefit Payments Commence. If the Executive is entitled to benefit payments under Article 2
but dies before payments commence, the benefits shall be payable to the Executive’s beneficiary(ies), but payments shall commence on the first day of the month after the date of the Executive’s death. Payments shall be made in the same
amounts they would have been paid to the Executive had the Executive survived. 
  
 3.4 Petition for Benefit Payments. To the extent that the Executive dies before receiving any or all benefit payments to which he is entitled under Section 2.1, Section 2.2, or Section 2.3, respectively, the
Executive’s beneficiary(ies) or estate may petition the Board of Directors to have the Accrual Balance corresponding to that particular benefit paid to the Executive’s beneficiary(ies) or estate in a single lump sum after (i) deduction of
any normal retirement benefits, Early Termination benefits or Disability benefits already paid and (ii) addition of interest at the rate of 7.5% on the Accrual Balance not yet paid for the period from the Executive’s Termination of Employment
to payment of the lump sum amount. The Board of Directors shall have sole and absolute discretion about whether to pay the remaining Accrual Balance in a lump sum. If payment of the remaining Accrual Balance is paid in a single lump sum, the Bank
shall have no further obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 3.5
Change-in-Control Payout of Vested Normal Retirement Benefit, Vested Early Termination Benefit or Vested Disability Benefit Being Paid to the Executive’s Estate or Beneficiaries at the Time of a Change in Control. If a Change in Control
occurs at any time during the entire 15-year salary continuation benefit payment period and if at the time of that Change in Control the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries is receiving the benefit provided by Section 2.1.2, Section 2.2.2 or
Section 2.3.2, the Bank shall pay the remaining salary continuation benefits to the Executive’s beneficiaries or estate in a lump sum within three days after the Change in Control. The lump-sum payment due to the Executive’s beneficiaries
or estate as a result of a Change in Control shall be an amount equal to the Accrual Balance amount corresponding to that particular benefit then being paid to the 

  

 5 

 
Executive’s estate or beneficiaries pursuant to Section 2.1.2, Section 2.2.2 or Section 2.3.2 after (i) deduction of any normal retirement benefits,
Early Termination benefits or Disability benefits already paid and (ii) addition of interest at the rate of 7.5% on the Accrual Balance not yet paid for the period from Termination of Employment to payment of the lump sum amount. 
  
 ARTICLE 4 
 BENEFICIARIES 
  
 4.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Executive shall designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries by filing a written designation with the Bank. The
Executive may revoke or modify the designation at any time by filing a new designation. However, designations will be effective only if signed by the Executive and accepted by the Bank during the Executive’s lifetime. The Executive’s
beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases the Executive, or if the Executive names a spouse as beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. If the Executive dies without a valid
beneficiary designation, all payments shall be made to the Executive’s estate. 
  
 4.2 Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incapacitated, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Bank may pay such benefit to the
guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incapacitated person or incapable person. The Bank may require such proof of incapacity, minority or guardianship as the Bank deems appropriate before distribution of
the benefit. Distribution shall completely discharge the Bank from all liability for such benefit. 
  
 ARTICLE 5 
 GENERAL LIMITATIONS

  
 5.1 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if Termination of Employment is due to the Executive’s actions resulting in Termination for Cause.

 7.3 No Guarantee of Employment. This
Agreement is not an employment policy or contract. It does not give the Executive the right to remain an employee of the Bank, nor does it interfere with the Bank’s right to discharge the Executive. It also does not require the Executive to
remain an employee nor interfere with the Executive’s right to terminate employment at any time. 
  
 7.4 Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached, or encumbered in any manner.

  
 7.5 Successors; Binding Agreement. By an assumption
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, the Bank will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Bank to
expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform this Agreement if no such succession had occurred. The Bank’s failure to obtain such an assumption
agreement before the succession becomes effective shall be considered a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to the Change-in-Control benefit provided in Section 2.4. 
  
 7.6 Tax Withholding. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are required to be withheld from the benefits provided
under this Agreement. 
  
 7.7 Applicable Law. Except to the

 7.8 Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and his beneficiary(ies) are general unsecured creditors of the Bank for the payment of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Bank to pay such benefits.
The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Executive’s life is a general asset of the Bank to
which the Executive and beneficiary(ies) have no preferred or secured claim.

	(1)	The Accrual balance reflects payment at the beginning of each month during retirement. 

  

	(2)	Participant is 100% vested in the accrued liability balance. 

  

	(3)	Benefit is based on present value of the annual payment stream beginning at age 70 of the current vested accrual balance using a standard discount rate (7.5%).

  

	(4)	The “Change-in-Control Benefit” is determined pursuant to Section 2.4.1 of the Salary Continuation Agreement. The numbers shown in this column reflect the
Change-in-Control Benefit due the Executive if the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurred at the Plan Year end indicated following a Change in Control. The numbers shown as of the Plan Year end indicated are derived pursuant to the
calculation methodology specified in Section 2.4.1 of the Salary Continuation Agreement. For calculation of the Change-in-Control Benefit due the Executive at any time other than Plan Year end, this benefit would be determined pursuant to Section
2.4 and Section 2.4.1 as of the date on which the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs following a Change in Control. 

  

	(5)	Projected retirement occurs September 28, 2006, with the first normal monthly retirement benefit commencing October 2006. The accrual balance at the end of
September, 2006 will be $226,141. 

  
 N/A means not applicable.
