3.3 Postretirement Death Benefit.

(a) If a single life benefit payment was elected by the Executive, upon death of the Executive after benefit payments have commenced under the Plan, but before receiving a total of one hundred eighty (180) payments, the Employer shall continue to pay to the Executive's Beneficiary the Retirement Benefit until one hundred eighty (180) payments have been made.

The Retirement Benefit will commence on the first (1st) day of the month following the date the Executive attains age sixty five (65), payable monthly and continuing for his or her lifetime.  The Employer will establish a "rabbi trust," if one has not already been established, for the purposes of this Plan, to which assets will be contributed to provide the Employer with a source of funds for purposes of satisfying the obligations of the Employer under the Plan.  The amount of the contribution to the "rabbi trust" will be the amount sufficient to satisfy the obligation of the Employer under paragraph 3.1.

3.5 Restriction on Timing of Distributions. Notwithstanding the applicable provisions of this Plan regarding timing of payments, the special rules contained in this Section 3.7 shall apply. If the stock of the Employer is publicly traded at the time of the Executive's Separation  from Service in order for this Plan to comply with Section 409A of the Code: (i) to the extent the Executive is a "specified employee" (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) at the time of a distribution and to the extent such applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code  and the regulations thereunder require a delay of such distributions by a six-month period after the date of such Executive's Separation from Service with the Employer, no such distribution shall be made prior to the date that is six months after the date of the Executive's Separation from Service with the Employer, and (ii) any such delayed payments shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum within five (5) business days after the end of the six (6) month delay.

3.6 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of the Executive's termination for Cause, this Plan shall terminate and no benefits shall be payable under the Plan.  For this purpose, "Cause" shall be determined in accordance with the definition of "Cause" and the process for determining such Cause in the Employment Agreement by and between the Bank and the Executive dated November 22, 2017.

ARTICLE 4

BENEFICIARIES

4.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Executive shall have the right to designate, at any time, a Beneficiary to receive any benefits payable under this Plan upon the death of the Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other benefit plan of the Employer in which the Executive participates.

4.2 Beneficiary Designation; Changes. The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated agent. 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. The Executive shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing, and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator's rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and accepted by the Plan Administrator before the Executive's death.

4.3 Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received in writing by the Plan Administrator or its designated agent.

4.4 No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid Beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive's spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be distributed to the personal representative of the Executive's estate.

4.5 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 Employer may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care or custody of the minor, incapacitated person, or incapable person. The Employer may require proof of incapacity, minority, or guardianship as it may deem appropriate before distribution of the benefit. Distribution shall completely discharge the Employer from all liability for the benefit.

 

ARTICLE 5

GENERAL LIMITATIONS

5.1. Limits on Payments. It is the intention of  the  parties  that  none  of  the  payments to which the Executive is entitled under this Plan will constitute a "golden parachute payment" within the meaning of 12 USC Section 1828(k) or implementing regulations of the FDIC, the payment of which is prohibited (collectively, "Section 1828(k)"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, any payments due to be made by Employer for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Plan, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned on compliance with Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder including the receipt of all required approvals thereof by Employer's primary federal banking regulator and/or the FDIC.

In addition, Employer and its successors retain the legal right to demand the return of any payment made hereunder which constitutes a "golden parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 1828(k) or implementing regulations of the FDIC should Employer or its successors later obtain information indicating that the Executive committed, is substantially responsible for, or has violated, the respective acts or omissions, conditions, or offenses outlined under 12 C.F.R. 359.4(a)(4).

2.2 Ownership of the Annuity Contract. The Bank is the sole owner of the Annuity Contract, and other such investments, and shall have the right to exercise all incidents of ownership. The Bank shall be the beneficiary of the death proceeds of the Annuity Contract. The Bank shall at all times be entitled to the Annuity Contract's cash surrender value, as that term, or a functionally similar term, is defined in the Annuity Contract.

2.3 Right to Annuity Contract. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the Bank shall have the right to sell or surrender any Annuity Contract without terminating this Plan, provided the Bank replaces the Annuity Contract with a Replacement Annuity at the time of sale or surrender. Without limitation, the Annuity Contract at all times shall be the exclusive property of the Bank and shall be subject to the claims of the Bank's creditors

2.4 Rabbi Trust. Employer may establish a "rabbi trust" to which contributions may be made to provide the Employer with a source of funds for purposes of satisfying the obligations of the Employer under the Plan. The trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan as an unfunded plan. The Executive and or her Beneficiary shall have no beneficial ownership interest in any assets held in the trust.

ARTICLE 3

RETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFITS

3.1 Retirement Benefit. Upon the Executive's Separation from Service after reaching Normal Retirement Age for any reason other than death, Disability, or Cause (defined below), the Executive will be entitled to the monthly benefit payment described in this paragraph 3.1. The amount of the monthly benefit will equal [the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract designated under this Plan to benefit the Executive through the Rider (the "Normal Retirement Benefit"), whether designated as a single life payment or joint and survivor payment as elected by the Executive], which Annuity Contract shall not be changed in a manner which would adversely affect the interests of the Executive without written approval from the Executive. The Normal Retirement Benefit will commence on the first (1st) day of the second month following the date of the Executive's Separation from Service, payable monthly and continuing for his or her lifetime.  This shall be the Executive's benefit in lieu of any other benefit under this Plan.

3.2 Early Retirement Benefit. In the event the Executive should Separate from Service after reaching Early Retirement Age but Prior to Normal Retirement Age for any reason other than death, Disability, or Cause, the Executive will be entitled to a monthly benefit equal to a percentage of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract designated under this Plan to benefit the Executive through the Rider (the "Early Retirement Benefit"). The percentage is the ratio of the Account Balance on the Early Retirement Date to the projected Account Balance at Normal Retirement Age and applied to the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract through the Rider at Normal Retirement Age. The Early Retirement Benefit will commence on the first day of the second month following the Executive's Normal Retirement Age and will continue for the Executive's lifetime.

3.3 Disability Benefit. In the event the Executive should Separate from Service as a result of becoming Disabled while actively employed by the Employer any time after the effective date of this Plan but prior to the commencement of benefit payments under the Plan, the Executive will be entitled to a monthly benefit equal to a percentage of the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract designated under this Plan to benefit the Executive through the Rider (the "Disability Benefit"). The percentage is the ratio of the Account Balance on the date of Separation from Service as a result of Disability to the projected Account Balance at Normal Retirement Age and applied to the amount that is paid from the Annuity Contract through the Rider at Normal Retirement Age. The Disability Benefit will commence on the first day of the second month following the Executive's Normal Retirement Age and will continue for the Executive's lifetime.

3.4 Preretirement Death Benefit. Upon death of the Executive while in service to the Employer, the Employer shall pay to the Executive's Beneficiary the Normal Retirement Benefit as if the Executive had survived to Normal Retirement Age, payable in one hundred eighty (180) equal monthly payments commencing no later than sixty (60) days from the date of death.

3

3.5 Postretirement Death Benefit.

(a) If a single life benefit payment was elected by the Executive, upon death of the Executive after benefit payments have commenced under the Plan, but before receiving a total of one hundred eighty (180) payments, the Employer shall continue to pay to the Executive's Beneficiary the Normal Retirement Benefit until one hundred eighty (180) payments have been made. If the Executive dies after receiving one hundred eighty (180) or more payments of benefit payments, this Agreement will terminate and no additional payments will be made to the Executive's Beneficiary under the Plan.

(b) If a joint and survivor benefit payment was elected by the Executive, upon death of the Executive after benefit payments have commenced under the Plan, the benefit payments due to his or her survivor will continue until the death of such survivor and no other death benefit will be payable under this Agreement.

3.6 Change in Control Benefit. Upon a Change in Control, the Executive will fully vest in the Normal Retirement Benefit as provided for in paragraph 3.1, with such benefit payable as provided as if Executive Separated from Service at her Normal Retirement Age with payments commencing upon reaching such Normal Retirement Age.  The Employer will establish a "rabbi trust," if one has not already been established, for the purposes of this Plan, to which assets will be contributed to provide the Employer with a source of funds for purposes of satisfying the obligations of the Employer under the Plan.  The amount of the contribution to the "rabbi trust" will be the amount sufficient to satisfy the obligation of the Employer under paragraph 3.1.

3.7 Restriction on Timing of Distributions. Notwithstanding the applicable provisions of this Plan regarding timing of payments, the special rules contained in this Section 3.7 shall apply. If the stock of the Employer is publicly traded at the time of the Executive's Separation  from Service in order for this Plan to comply with Section 409A of the Code: (i) to the extent the Executive is a "specified employee" (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) at the time of a distribution and to the extent such applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code  and the regulations thereunder require a delay of such distributions by a six-month period after the date of such Executive's Separation from Service with the Employer, no such distribution shall be made prior to the date that is six months after the date of the Executive's Separation from Service with the Employer, and (ii) any such delayed payments shall be paid to the Executive in a single lump sum within five (5) business days after the end of the six (6) month delay.

3.8 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event of the Executive's termination for Cause, this Plan shall terminate and no benefits shall be payable under the Plan.  For this purpose, "Cause" shall be determined in accordance with the definition of "Cause" and the process for determining such Cause in the Change in Control Agreement by and between the Bank and the Executive dated November 22, 2017.

  

ARTICLE 4

BENEFICIARIES

4.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Executive shall have the right to designate, at any time, a Beneficiary to receive any benefits payable under this Plan upon the death of the Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Plan may be the same as or different from the Beneficiary designation under any other benefit plan of the Employer in which the Executive participates.

4.2 Beneficiary Designation; Changes. The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated agent. 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. The Executive shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing, and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator's rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time. Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and accepted by the Plan Administrator before the Executive's death.

4.3 Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until received in writing by the Plan Administrator or its designated agent.

4.4 No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid Beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive's spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be distributed to the personal representative of the Executive's estate.

4.5 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 Employer may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative, or person having the care or custody of the minor, incapacitated person, or incapable person. The Employer may require proof of incapacity, minority, or guardianship as it may deem appropriate before distribution of the benefit. Distribution shall completely discharge the Employer from all liability for the benefit.

ARTICLE 5

GENERAL LIMITATIONS

5.1. Limits on Payments. It is the intention of  the  parties  that  none  of  the  payments to which the Executive is entitled under this Plan will constitute a "golden parachute payment" within the meaning of 12 USC Section 1828(k) or implementing regulations of the FDIC, the payment of which is prohibited (collectively, "Section 1828(k)"). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, any payments due to be made by Employer for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Plan, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned on compliance with Section 1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder including the receipt of all required approvals thereof by Employer's primary federal banking regulator and/or the FDIC.

In addition, Employer and its successors retain the legal right to demand the return of any payment made hereunder which constitutes a "golden parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 1828(k) or implementing regulations of the FDIC should Employer or its successors later obtain information indicating that the Executive committed, is substantially responsible for, or has violated, the respective acts or omissions, conditions, or offenses outlined under 12 C.F.R. 359.4(a)(4).
