WHEREAS, Executive serves in a position of substantial responsibility; and

WHEREAS, the Bank wishes to assure Executive’s services for the term of this Agreement; and

Executive will perform all duties and shall have all powers commonly incident to the offices of President and COO of the Bank or which, consistent with those offices, are delegated to him by the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Board”). During the term of this Agreement, Executive also agrees to serve, if elected, as an officer and/or director of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank or the Holding Company and to carry out the duties and responsibilities reasonably appropriate to those offices.

The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall be deemed to have commenced as of the date written above and shall continue for a period of thirty-six (36) full calendar months (“Initial Term”), or until the employment relationship is terminated pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof. Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement will be renewed automatically for successive twelve-month periods (“Renewal Terms”), unless the Board or Executive elects not to extend the term of the Agreement by giving written notice to the other in accordance with the terms of Section 14 of this Agreement. Executive’s employment shall continue during such Renewal Terms until the employment relationship is terminated pursuant to Sections 3 or 4 hereof.

(a)          

	
DEATH. Executive’s employment under this Agreement will terminate upon Executive’s death during the term of this Agreement. Upon any termination for death, Executive’s estate will receive (1) Executive’s base salary through the effective date of termination, (2) payment of any bonuses or incentive compensation with respect to the fiscal year ended prior to the fiscal year in which the termination date occurs that was earned and unpaid, and (3) reimbursement of all expenses for which Executive is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 2 hereof, but for which he has not yet been reimbursed (collectively, the “Accrued Compensation”).

	
(b)          

	
RETIREMENT. This Agreement will terminate upon Executive’s retirement under the retirement benefit plan or plans in which Executive participates pursuant to Section 2(c) of this Agreement or otherwise.  Upon any termination for retirement, Executive will receive all Accrued Compensation.

	
(c)          

	
DISABILITY. The Board or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment after having determined that Executive has a Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall have the same meaning given to such term under the Bank’s Long-Term Disability plan as in effect from time to time, or, if no such plan is then in effect, the meaning described in Section 22(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

Upon any termination for disability, Executive will no longer be obligated to perform services under this Agreement. The Bank further will pay Executive, as Disability pay, an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s bi-weekly rate of base salary in effect as of the date of Executive’s termination of employment due to Disability. The Bank will make Disability payments on a monthly basis commencing on the first day of the month following the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment due to Disability and ending on the earlier of: (A) the date Executive returns to full-time employment in the same capacity as he was employed prior to Executive’s termination for Disability; (B) Executive’s death; (C) Executive’s attainment of age 65; or (D) the end of the Initial Term or Renewal Term that this Agreement would have expired on had Executive’s employment not terminated by reason of Disability. Such payments shall be reduced by the amount of any short- or long-term disability benefits payable to Executive under any other disability programs sponsored by the Bank or its affiliates. In addition, during any period of Executive’s Disability, the Bank will continue to provide Executive and his dependents, to the greatest extent possible, with continued coverage under all benefit plans (including, without limitation, retirement plans and medical, dental and life insurance plans) in which Executive and/or his dependents participated prior to Executive’s Disability on the same terms as if he remained actively employed by the Bank.

(e)

	
VOLUNTARY TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE. Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment during the term of this Agreement upon at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to the Board. In its discretion, the Board may accelerate Executive’s termination date. Upon Executive’s voluntary termination, he will only receive all Accrued Compensation as of the date of his termination (as determined by the Board).

	
  

	
(f)

	
WITHOUT CAUSE OR WITH GOOD REASON. The Board may, by written notice to Executive, immediately terminate his employment at any time for a reason other than Cause (a termination “Without Cause”) and Executive may, by written notice to the Board, immediately terminate this Agreement at any time within ninety (90) days following an event constituting “Good Reason,” as defined below (a termination “With Good Reason”).

 

In the event of termination under this Section 3(f) [other than a termination Without Cause or for Good Reason within two (2) years of a Change in Control (defined in Section 4(a)), in which event Section 4(c) shall apply], the Bank shall pay Executive:

	
(1)          

	
all Accrued Compensation;

	
(2)          

	
a severance payment equal to his base salary for the remaining term of the Agreement, paid periodically in accordance with the Bank’s customary payroll practices over the remaining term of the Agreement; and

	
(3)          

	
directly, or by reimbursing the Executive for, the monthly premium for continuation coverage under the Bank’s health and dental insurance plans, to the same extent that such insurance is provided to persons currently employed by the Bank, provided that the Executive makes a timely election for such continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”). The “qualifying event” under COBRA shall be deemed to have occurred on the termination date. The Bank’s obligation under this paragraph shall end 18 months after the termination date or at such earlier date as the Executive becomes eligible for comparable coverage under another employer’s group coverage. The Executive agrees to notify the Bank promptly and in writing of any new employment and to make full disclosure to the Bank of the health and dental insurance coverage available to him through such new employment.

In addition, Executive shall, for the remaining term of the Agreement, receive the benefits he would have received during the remaining term of the Agreement under any retirement programs (whether tax-qualified or non-qualified) in which Executive participated prior to his termination (with the amount of the benefits determined by reference to the benefits received by Executive or accrued on Executive’s behalf under such programs during the twelve (12) months preceding his termination) and continue to participate in any benefit plans of the Bank that provide life insurance, upon terms no less favorable than the most favorable terms provided to employees of the Bank during such period. In the event that the Bank is unable to provide such coverage by reason of Executive no longer being an employee, the Bank shall provide Executive with comparable coverage on an individual policy basis.

  

Page 6 of 19

  

 

“Good Reason” shall exist if without Executive’s express written consent, the Bank or the Holding Company materially breaches any of its obligations under this Agreement. Such a material breach shall be deemed to occur upon any of the following:

	
(1)          

	
A material reduction in Executive’s responsibilities or authority in connection with his employment with the Bank or the Holding Company;

	
(2)          

	
Assignment to Executive of duties of a non-executive nature or duties for which he is not reasonably equipped by his skills and experience;

	
(3)          

	
Failure of Executive to be nominated or re-nominated to the Board to the extent Executive is a Board member prior to the Effective Date;

	
(4)          

	
A material reduction his salary or benefits contrary to the terms of this Agreement, or, following a Change in Control (as defined in Section 4 of this Agreement), any material reduction in salary or benefits below the amounts Executive was entitled to receive before the Change in Control;

	
(5)          

	
A requirement that Executive relocate his principal business office or his principal place of residence outside of the area consisting of a thirty-five (35) mile radius from the current main office of the Bank and any branch of the Bank, or the assignment to Executive of duties that would reasonably require such a relocation; or

	
(6)          

	
Liquidation or dissolution of the Bank or the Holding Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a reduction or elimination of Executive’s benefits under one or more benefit plans maintained as part of a good faith, overall reduction or elimination of such plans or benefits, applicable to all participants in a manner that does not discriminate against Executive (except as such discrimination may be necessary to comply with law), will not constitute an event of Good Reason or a material breach of this Agreement, provided that benefits of the same type or to the same general extent as those offered under such plans before the reduction or elimination are not available to other officers of the Bank or any affiliate under a plan or plans in or under which Executive is not entitled to participate.

8.          

	
INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY INSURANCE. Subject to and limited by Section 22 of this Agreement, the Bank shall provide the following:

	
  

	
(a)

	
INDEMNIFICATION. The Bank agrees to indemnify Executive (and his heirs, executors, and administrators), and to advance expenses related to this indemnification, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and regulations against any and all expenses and liabilities that Executive reasonably incurs in connection with or arising out of any action, suit, or proceeding in which he may be involved by reason of his service as a director or Executive of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (whether or not he continues to be a director or Executive at the time of incurring any such expenses or liabilities). Covered expenses and liabilities include, but are not limited to, judgments, court costs, and attorneys’ fees and the costs of reasonable settlements, subject to Board approval, if the action is brought against Executive in his capacity as an Executive or director of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Indemnification for expenses will not extend to matters related to Executive’s termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8(a) to the contrary, the Bank will not be required to provide indemnification prohibited by applicable law or regulation including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code, The obligations of this Section 8 shall survive the term of this Agreement by a period of six (6) years.

	
  

	
(b)

	
INSURANCE. During the period for which the Bank must indemnify Executive under this Section, the Bank will provide Executive (and his heirs, executors, and administrators) with coverage under a directors’ and officers’ liability policy, at the Bank’s expense, that is at least equivalent to the coverage provided to directors and senior executives of the Bank and its subsidiaries.

	
  

	
9.

	
LIMITATION ON PAYMENTS. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to the Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 9, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Executive’s severance benefits shall be either:

	
(a)           

	
delivered in full, or

	
(b)           

	
delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by the Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that and/or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Bank and the Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 9 shall be made in writing by the Bank’s independent public accountants immediately prior to Change in Control (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Bank for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 1, the accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Bank and the Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Bank shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 9.

DISCLOSURE TO FUTURE AND PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS.  Executive agrees that the Bank may notify any of his future or prospective employers or other third parties of this Agreement and may provide a copy of this Agreement to such parties without Executive’s further consent.

	
  

	
(a)

	
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The parties hereto, recognizing that irreparable injury will result to the Bank, its business and property in the event of Executive’s breach or threatened breach of Sections 1(c), 5, and 6 of this Agreement, agree that in the event of any such breach, the Bank, will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies and damages available, to an injunction to restrain Executive’s violation as well as any violations of his partners, agents, servants, Executives and all persons acting for or under Executive’s direction. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive.

	
  

	
11.

	
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

	
(a)           

	
SUCCESSOR TO BANK. The Bank shall require any successor or assignee, whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Bank or the Holding Company, expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

	
(b)           

	
SUCCESSOR TO THE EXECUTIVE. Since the Bank is contracting for the unique and personal skills of the Executive, neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder will be assignable or transferable by the Executive, his beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal personal representative.

Any assertion in any judicial or administrative filing, hearing, or process that an ERISA plan was created by this Agreement shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement by the party making the assertion.

	
  

	
15.

	
AMENDMENTS AND WAIVER. No amendments or additions to this Agreement shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by all of the parties, except as herein otherwise specifically provided.

Further, the Bank’s waiver of its right to enforce similar conditions or provisions in another employee’s agreement (employment or other) shall not operate as a waiver of its right to enforce any of the conditions or provisions in this Agreement.

	
  

	
16.

	
CHOICE OF LAW; ENFORCEABILITY; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

	
(a)

17.

	
SEVERABILITY.

Similarly, if the scope of any restriction or covenant contained herein should be or become too broad or extensive to permit enforcement thereof to its full extent, then the court is specifically authorized by the parties to enforce any such restriction or covenant to the maximum extent permitted by law, and Executive hereby consents and agrees that the scope of any such restriction or covenant may be modified accordingly in any judicial proceeding brought to enforce such restriction or covenant.

          the Shares  which would  include  any  activities  undertaken  for the
          purpose  of, or that could  reasonably  be expected to have the effect
          of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of any
          of the Securities;  provided, however, that the Subscriber may sell or
          otherwise dispose of the Shares pursuant to registration thereof under
          the 1933 Act and any applicable  state and federal  securities laws or
          under an exemption from such registration requirements;

          damage and expense whatsoever (including,  but not limited to, any and

          investigating,  preparing  or  defending  against any claim,  lawsuit,
          administrative   proceeding  or  investigation  whether  commenced  or
          threatened)  arising  out  of or  based  upon  any  representation  or
          warranty  of  the  Subscriber  contained  herein  or in  any  document
          furnished  by the  Subscriber  to the Company in  connection  herewith
          being untrue in any  material  respect or any breach or failure by the
