PURPOSE

1.1.     BACKGROUND.  This plan is adopted to aggregate and formalize the Company’s compensation policies for non-employee directors of the Company, including all cash and equity-based compensation.  This Seventh Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) amends and restates the Sixth Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan that became effective on October 1, 2019.

1.2.    PURPOSE.  The purpose of the Plan is to attract, retain and compensate highly-qualified individuals who are not employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for service as members of the Board by providing them with competitive compensation and an equity interest in the Company.

Subject to share availability under the 2011 Incentive Plan, each Eligible Participant shall be granted an award of fully-vested Stock on the day that he or she first becomes an Eligible Participant (“Initial Stock Grant”).  In addition, subject to share availability under the 2011 Incentive Plan, each Eligible Participant in service on the day following an annual shareholders meeting will receive an award of fully-vested Stock (“Annual Stock Grant” and collectively with the Initial Stock Grant, the “Stock Grants”).  Each such day that such awards are to be granted under the Plan is referred to hereinafter as a “Grant Date.”  The Stock Grants shall have the following terms and conditions:

(a)       Number of Initial Stock Grants.

6

the nearest whole number.  The Proration Factor is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months of service as a Non-Employee Director between the Grant Date and the next annual shareholders’ meeting date, and the denominator of which is 12.

(b)       Number of Annual Stock Grants.  The number of shares in the Annual Stock Grant to an Eligible Participant shall be determined by (A) dividing the Annual Stock Retainer as in effect for that Plan Year, by the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date, and (B) rounding to the nearest whole number.  

(c)      Other Plan Conditions.  To the extent not specified herein, the Stock Grants shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2011 Incentive Plan.     
       

6.2.      ADJUSTMENTS.  For the avoidance of doubt, the adjustment provisions of the 2011 Incentive Plan (along with all of the other provisions of the 2011 Incentive Plan) shall apply with respect to all Equity Awards granted pursuant to this Plan.

All unvested Equity Awards granted pursuant to this Plan shall be evidenced by a written award certificate, which shall include such provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan or the 2011 Incentive Plan, as may be specified by the Committee.  The form of applicable award certificates (if any) shall be approved by the Committee.

ARTICLE 7
AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

7.1.      AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan without shareholder approval; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Committee, require shareholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of a securities exchange on which the Stock is listed or traded, then such amendment shall be subject to shareholder approval; and provided further, that the Committee  may condition any other amendment or modification on the approval of shareholders of the Company for any reason.  Modification of Equity Awards granted under this Plan shall be subject to the provisions of the 2011 Incentive Plan.

ARTICLE 8
GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1.      DURATION OF THE PLAN.  The Plan shall remain in effect until terminated by the Committee or the earlier termination or expiration of the 2011 Incentive Plan, including any successor plans.

verify such information. 
 3.5 Claims Procedure. Claims for benefits under the Plan may be filed with the Administrator on forms
supplied by the Employer. Written or electronic notice of the disposition of a claim shall be furnished to the claimant within 90 days after the claim is filed. If additional time (up to 90 days) is required by the Administrator to process the

3.6 Claims Review Procedure. Any Employee, former Employee, or Beneficiary who has been denied a benefit by a decision of the
Administrator pursuant to Section 3.5 shall be entitled to request the Administrator to give further consideration to his claim by filing with the Administrator a request for a hearing. Such request, together with a written statement of the
reasons why the claimant believes his claim should be allowed, shall be filed with the Administrator no later than 60 days after receipt of the written notification provided for in Section 3.5. The claimant shall be provided, upon request and
free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. The Administrator shall then conduct a hearing within the next 60 days, at which the claimant shall
have an opportunity to submit comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. 

The Administrator shall make a final decision as to the allowance of the claim within 60 days of receipt of the appeal (unless there has been an extension due
to special circumstances, provided the delay and the special circumstances occasioning it are communicated to the claimant in writing within the 60 day period), and a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible but not later than 120 days after
receipt of the request for review; provided, however, in the event the claimant fails to submit information necessary to make a benefit determination on review, such period shall be tolled from the date on which the extension notice is sent to the
claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information. The decision on review shall be written or electronic and, in the case of an adverse determination, shall include specific reasons for the decision, in
a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based. The decision on review shall also include (i) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive,

5.1 Pre-Retirement Survivor Benefit. If a Participant dies while employed by the Bank, the Bank
shall pay to the deceased Participant’s Beneficiary as a survivor benefit, an amount equal to (1) one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s Recognized Compensation at date of death for one year, and (2) fifty percent (50%)

life of any Participant to allow the Bank to informally finance and/or recover, in whole or in part, the cost of providing the benefits hereunder, neither the Participant nor any Beneficiary shall have any rights whatsoever therein. The Bank shall
be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such policy or policies and shall possess and may exercise all incidents of ownership therein, except in the event of the establishment of and transfer of said policy or policies to a trust by the Bank as
described in Section 12.8 hereof.

policies on any Participant, the Bank will so notify such Participant. Such Participant shall consent to being insured for the benefit of the Bank and shall take whatever actions may be necessary to enable the Bank to timely apply for and acquire

7.3 Participant Misrepresentation. If: (a) any Participant is required by this Plan to submit information to any insurance carrier;
and (b) the Participant makes a material misrepresentation in any application for such insurance; and (c) as a result of that material misrepresentation the insurance carrier is not required to pay all or any part of the proceeds provided
under that insurance, then the Participant’s (or the Participant’s Beneficiary’s) rights to any benefits under this Plan may be, at the sole discretion of the Board, reduced to the extent of

obligations under the Plan and the funding requirements therefore, based solely on the most recent information furnished to it by the Administrator. 

Section 11 - Amendment and Termination 

11.1 Amendment and Termination. The Employer shall have the right at any time to amend or terminate this Plan. However, no amendment or
termination shall be effective so as to reduce or delay the amount of any benefit payable with respect to an Employee whose death had already occurred. 

Section 12 - Miscellaneous 
 12.1 Nonalienation
of Benefits. No right or benefit under this Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge any
right or benefit under this Plan or any Survivor Benefit Agreement shall be void. No such right or benefit shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities or torts of the person entitled thereto. If a Participant or
any Beneficiary hereunder shall become bankrupt, or attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell assign, pledge, encumber, or charge any right hereunder, then such right or benefit shall, in the discretion of the Board, cease and terminate, and in such
event, the Board may hold or apply the same or any part thereof for the benefit of the Participant or his or her Beneficiary,

 spouse, children, or other dependents, or any of them in such manner and in such amounts and proportions as
the Board may deem proper. 
 12.2 Unsecured Liability. The obligation of the Bank to make payments hereunder to a Participant shall
constitute an unsecured liability of the Bank. Such payments shall be made from the general funds of the Bank and the Bank shall not be required to establish or maintain any special or separate fund, to purchase or acquire life insurance on a
Participant’s life, or otherwise to segregate assets to assure that such payments shall be made. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any interest in any particular asset of the Bank by reason of its obligations hereunder and
the right of any of them to receive payments under this Plan shall be no greater than the right of any other unsecured general creditor of the Bank. Nothing contained in the Plan shall create or be construed as creating a trust of any kind or any
other fiduciary relationship between the Bank and a Participant or any other person. 
 12.3 No Contract of Employment This Plan shall
not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Employer and any Participant or to be a consideration or an inducement for the employment of any Participant or Employee. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant or
Employee the right to be retained in the service of the Employer or to interfere with the right of the Employer to discharge any Participant or Employee at any time regardless of the effect which such discharge shall have upon him or her as a
Participant of this Plan. 
 12.4 Designation of Beneficiary. Each Participant shall file with the Bank a notice in writing, in a form
acceptable to the Board, designating one or more Beneficiaries to whom payments becoming due by reason of his or her death shall be made. Participants shall have the right to change the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries so designated from time to time;
provided, however, that no such change shall become effective until received in writing and acknowledged by the Bank. 
 12.5 Payment to
Incompetents. The Bank shall make the payments provided herein directly to the Participant or Beneficiary entitled thereto or, if such Participant or Beneficiary has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be mentally
or physically incompetent, then payment shall be made to the duly appointed guardian, committee or other authorized representative of such Participant or Beneficiary. The Bank shall have the right to make payment directly to a Participant or
Beneficiary until it has received actual notice of the physical or mental incapacity of such Participant or Beneficiary and actual notice of the appointment of a duly authorized representative of his or her estate. Any payment to or for the benefit
of a Participant or Beneficiary shall be a complete discharge of all liability of the Bank therefore. 
 12.6 Interpretation. The
interpretation and construction of the Plan by the Board, and any action taken hereunder shall be binding and conclusive upon all parties in interest. No member of the Board shall be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted to be taken
in connection with the interpretation, construction or administration of the Plan, so long as such action or omission be made in good faith. 
 12.7
Authority to Appoint a Committee. The Board, within its discretion, shall have the authority to appoint a committee of not less than three (3) of its members, which shall have authority over the Plan in lieu of the entire
Board.

 12.8 Authority to Establish a Trust. The Board shall have the right at any time to
establish a trust to which the Bank may transfer from time to time certain assets to be used by said trustee(s) to satisfy some or all of the Bank’s obligations and liabilities under the Plan. All assets held by such trust shall be subject to
the claims of the Bank’s creditors in the event of the Bank’s Insolvency (as defined herein). The Bank shall be considered “Insolvent” for purposes of said trust if: (a) the Bank is unable to pay its debts as they become
due; or (b) the Bank is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code. 
 12.9 Prepayment.
The Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, prepay all or any part of the monthly installments remaining to be paid to a Beneficiary under this Plan. The amount of such prepayment shall equal the Actuarial Equivalent of the remaining
monthly installments being prepaid, as determined by the Board in its discretion, and receipt thereof by the Beneficiary shall be in full satisfaction of all remaining obligations of the Bank under the Plan and applicable Survivor Benefit Agreement.

 12.10 Binding Effect. Obligations incurred by the Bank pursuant to this Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Bank, its successors and assigns, and the Participant, his or her Beneficiaries, personal representatives, heirs, and legatees. 
 12.11 Entire
Plan. This document and any amendments hereto contain all the terms and provisions of the Plan and shall constitute the entire Plan, any other alleged terms or provisions being of no effect. 

12.12 Merger, Consolidation or Acquisition. In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Bank with another corporation or entity, or
the sale or lease of all or substantially all of the Bank’s assets to another corporation or entity, or the acquiring by another corporation or entity of a right to elect at least thirty percent (30%) of the Board, then and in such event the
obligations and responsibilities of the Bank under this Plan shall be assumed by any such successor or acquiring corporation or entity, and all of the rights, privileges and benefits of the Participants hereunder shall continue.
