 Exhibit 10.4 

AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement
(the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Randolph Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and Peter J. Fraser (the “Employee”). The effectiveness of this Agreement is contingent upon the closing (the “Closing”) of
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger among Randolph Bancorp, First Eastern Bankshares Corporation (the “Seller Company”), and Richard F. Kalagher, dated as of September 1, 2015 (the “Merger
Agreement”). This Agreement shall be effective upon the date of the Closing (the “Effective Date”). 
 1.
Purpose. The Employee has been employed in a senior capacity by First Federal Savings Bank of Boston (the “Seller Subsidiary”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller Company. The Board of Directors of the Bank (the
“Board”) believes that the Employee has the skills, knowledge and experience to be an important and effective contributor to the Bank’s success. The Board seeks to encourage the Employee’s employment with and commitment to the
Bank. The Board also seeks to protect the goodwill that the Employee has developed for the Seller Subsidiary and will continue to develop for the Bank through the Employee’s employment with the Bank. 

2. Certain Employment Terms. The Employee’s employment with the Bank shall commence on the Effective Date. The following
terms shall apply to the Employee’s compensation and employment responsibilities during the Employee’s employment with the Bank. 

(a) Position and Responsibilities. The Bank shall employ the Employee as a Senior Vice President. The Employee shall also have the job
title of President of First Eastern Mortgage Corp. The Employee shall have responsibilities commensurate with such positions. 
 (b)
Salary. The Bank shall pay the Employee a base salary at an annual rate of at least $200,000. 
 (c) Bonus. The Employee shall
be eligible to receive an annual bonus based on the profitability formula attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the “Bonus”). The Bank shall pay such a bonus to the Employee by no later than April 30 of the year following the year
for which the profitability measurement is made. 
 (d) Car Allowance. The Bank shall pay the Employee an additional amount of $750
per month to assist in defraying the cost of an automobile. Such allowance shall be treated as Form W-2 income. 
 (e) Benefits. The
Bank shall provide benefits to the Employee in accordance with Sections 7.6(a) – (f) of the Merger Agreement, which Sections are incorporated herein by reference. 

3. At-Will Employment. The Bank’s employment of the Employee shall be on an at-will basis; provided that
(i) the Employee shall give at least 30 days’ notice of the Employee’s resignation from employment with the Bank; and (ii) the at-will nature of the Employee’s employment shall not limit the Employee’s rights under
Section 4 (Severance Pay). If the Employee gives advance notice of the Employee’s resignation, the Bank may accelerate the 

 
termination of the Employee’s employment by paying the Employee’s salary at the Employee’s base salary rate for any period of acceleration. Such accelerated resignation shall not
affect the treatment of the Employee’s termination as a resignation. 
 4. Severance Pay. If prior to the five year
anniversary of the Effective Date, the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Bank for any reason other than for Cause, Disability or death, or if the Employee resigns for Good Reason, then subject to the Employee signing a separation
agreement to be proposed by the Bank, which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, amended as reasonably necessary based on applicable law (the “Separation Agreement and Release”) and the Separation
Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable, all within 45 days after the date of termination, the Bank shall pay to the Employee a severance amount equal to two times the sum of (i) the Employee’s annual base salary as of the date of
termination and (ii) the Average Bonus (such total amount, the “Severance Pay”). The Average Bonus shall mean the average of the Bank’s two most recent awards of a Bonus (as defined in this Agreement) to the Employee. If the
termination occurs after one Bonus award but not two, the Average Bonus shall mean such Bonus award. If the termination occurs before any Bonus award by the Bank, the Bank shall determine the Average Bonus in its reasonable discretion. For the
avoidance of doubt, if the Bank makes a determination to award no Bonus to the Employee for a year, such determination shall be considered to result in a Bonus award of Zero Dollars and that shall be the amount used in calculating the Average Bonus.
The Severance Pay shall be paid in a lump sum within 45 days of the date of termination; provided, however, that if the 45-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the Severance Pay shall be paid in the
second calendar year no later than the last day of such 45-day period. In the event that the Bank converts from a mutual form of organization to a stock form of organization (a “Conversion”) and if in connection with the Conversion the
Bank offers to at least one other senior officer an agreement (a “CIC Agreement”) under which such senior officer shall be entitled to receive severance pay subject to certain contingencies and based on a severance pay formula (“CIC
Severance Benefits”), the Employee shall, subject to his continued employment at such time, be given the opportunity to receive a CIC Agreement; provided that regardless of whether so stated in such CIC Agreement, if the Employee
qualifies for both the Severance Pay and the CIC Severance Benefits, he may elect either the Severance Pay or the CIC Severance Benefits but not both. 

5. Definitions. For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below: 

(a) “Cause” shall mean a termination of the Employee’s employment which is a result of: (i) actions and/or omissions by
the Employee satisfying the elements of (A) a felony or (B) a misdemeanor involving dishonesty, the taking of property or moral turpitude; or (ii) willful disclosure of material trade secrets or other material confidential information
related to the business of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; or (iii) willful and continued failure substantially to perform the Employee’s duties with the Bank (other than any such failure resulting from the
Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Employee by the Board, which demand identifies the specific actions which the Board believes constitute willful and
continued failure substantially to perform the Employee’s duties, and which performance is not substantially corrected by the Employee within fourteen (14) days of receipt of such demand; (iv) willful and

  
 2 

 
knowing participation in releasing false or materially misleading financial statements; (v) dishonesty to the Board regarding any material matter; or (vi) failure to cooperate with a
bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Bank to cooperate, or the Employee’s willful destruction or failure to preserve documents or other materials known
to be relevant to such investigation or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials in connection with such investigation. 

(b) “Disability” shall mean that if, as a result of the Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Employee
shall have been absent from the Employee’s duties to the Bank on a full-time basis for 120 business days in the aggregate in any 12 month period or is reasonably expected based upon medical information to be absent for such period. If any
question shall arise as to whether during any period the Employee has a Disability, the Employee may, and at the request of the Bank shall, submit to the Bank a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Bank to whom the
Employee has no reasonable objection as to whether the Employee is incapacitated and how long any incapacity is expected to continue. Such certification shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be conclusive of the issue. The Employee shall
cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and the Employee fails to submit such certification, the Bank’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the
Employee. 
 (c) “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Good Reason
Condition”) followed by the Good Reason Process, as defined below: (i) a material adverse change in the Employee’s position, title and/or responsibilities; or (ii) a material reduction in the Employee’s (A) annual base
salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time hereafter, except for across-the-board reductions of annual base salary similarly affecting all executive officers of the Bank or (B) bonus structure as
set forth in Exhibit A; or (iii) the relocation of the Bank’s offices at which the Employee is principally employed (the “Current Offices”) to any other location more than 25 miles of driving distance from the Current
Offices, or the requirement by the Bank for the Employee to be based more than 25 miles of driving distance away from the Current Offices, except for required travel on the Bank’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the
Employee’s business travel obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a suspension of any or all of Employee’s duties or responsibilities by the Bank during an investigation that is initiated pursuant to a direction by the Board shall not
constitute the occurrence of a material adverse change for purposes of clause (i); provided that Employee’s base salary and fringe benefit entitlements continue during the period of such suspension. The “Good Reason Process”
shall mean that (i) the Employee reasonably determines in good faith that a Good Reason Condition has occurred; (ii) the Employee gives the Bank written notice of the first occurrence of the Good Reason Condition within 30 days of the
first occurrence of such condition; (C) the Employee cooperates in good faith with the Bank’s efforts for a period of not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”) to remedy the Good Reason Condition;
(D) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason Condition continues to exist; and (E) the Employee terminates employment by giving written notice no later than 30 days after the expiration of the Cure Period. If the Bank cures the Good
Reason Condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

 6. Withholding. All payments made by the Bank under this Agreement shall be net of
any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Bank under applicable law. 
 7. No Mitigation. The Bank agrees that,
if the Employee’s employment by the Bank is terminated prior to the five year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Employee is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce the Severance Pay. Further, the Severance
Pay shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Employee as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Employee to the Bank or otherwise, except as
otherwise provided by this Agreement. 
 8. Confidential Information, Bank Property and Restrictive Covenants. 

(a) Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information belonging to the Bank
which is of value to the Bank in the course of conducting its business and the disclosure of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Bank. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, financial information,
reports, and forecasts; inventions, improvements and other intellectual property; trade secrets; know-how; software; market or sales information or plans; customer lists; and business plans, prospects and
opportunities (such as possible acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or facilities) which have been discussed or considered by the management of the Bank. Confidential Information includes information developed by the Employee in the course of
the Employee’s employment by the Seller Subsidiary or the Bank, as well as other information to which the Employee may have access in connection with the Employee’s employment. Confidential Information also includes the confidential
information of others with which the Bank has a business relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information in the public domain, unless due to breach of the Employee’s duties under
Section 8(b). 
 (b) Confidentiality. The Employee understands and agrees that the Employee’s employment creates a
relationship of confidence and trust between the Employee and the Bank with respect to all Confidential Information. At all times, both during the Employee’s employment with the Bank and after its termination, the Employee will keep in
confidence and trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of the Bank, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing the Employee’s
duties to the Bank or as otherwise may be required by law. 
 (c) Documents, Records, etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus,
equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are furnished to the Employee by the Bank or any affiliate or are produced by the Employee in connection with the Employee’s employment will be
and remain the sole property of the Bank. The Employee will return to the Bank all such materials and property as and when requested by the Bank. In any event, the Employee will return all such materials and property promptly following termination
of the Employee’s employment for any reason other than death. The Employee will not retain with the Employee any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination. 

  
 4 

 (d) Restrictive Covenants. During the Employee’s employment with the Bank and for a
period of twelve (12) months following the termination of the Employee’s employment for any reason, the Employee shall not, directly or indirectly: 

(i) engage, participate, assist or invest in any Competing Business (as hereinafter defined), regardless of whether as an
owner, partner, shareholder, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise; 
 (ii) employ, attempt to employ,
recruit or otherwise solicit, induce or influence any person (A) who is then employed by the Bank or any affiliate to leave employment with the Bank or any affiliate (other than terminations of employment of subordinate employees undertaken in
the course of the Employee’s employment with the Bank) or (B) who was employed by the Bank or any affiliate within three (3) months before the Employee’s employment, recruitment or other solicitation or inducement to become
employed by any other employer; or 
 (iii) (A) solicit or encourage any Customer to terminate or otherwise modify
adversely his, her or its business relationship with the Bank or any affiliate or to obtain from any provider other than the Bank (an “Other Provider”) any products that could be provided or services that could be performed by the Bank, or
(B) accept business from any Customer on behalf of an Other Provider. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Customer” means a customer or client of the Bank with whom or which the Employee had business-related communications during the
Employee’s employment with the Bank or about whom or which the Employee learned any non-published information during the Employee’s employment. 

The Employee understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6(d) are intended to protect the Bank’s interest in its Confidential
Information and established employee, customer and supplier relationships and goodwill, and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competing Business” shall
mean any bank or other financial services business that has a branch office or other place of business (other than solely an ATM) in any county in which the Bank has a branch office or other place of business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Employee may own up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly held corporation which constitutes or is affiliated with a Competing Business. 

(e) Injunction. The Employee agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Bank which might result from any
breach by the Employee of the promises set forth in this Section 8, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, subject to Section 9 of this Agreement, the Employee agrees that if the
Employee breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of this Section 8, the Bank shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach. 

9. Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or
otherwise relating to the Employee’s employment with the Bank or its termination, including without limitation statutory claims (including without 

  
 5 

 
limitation statutory discrimination or wage claims) and common law contract and tort claims shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and the Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration shall be conducted in the City of Boston. In the event that any person or entity other than the Employee or the Bank may be a party with
regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entity’s agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in
which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 9. 

10. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The
failure of either party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a
waiver of any subsequent breach. 
 11. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this
Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Employee at the last address the Employee has filed in writing with the Bank, or to the Bank at its main office,
attention of the Board. 
 12. Effect on Other Plans. The Employee hereby waives any rights to any severance benefits under
any current or future Bank severance pay plan or program with respect to any termination of employment that renders the Employee eligible for Severance Pay pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall limit the
Employee’s right to elect to receive CIC Severance Benefits in lieu of Severance Pay under any CIC Agreement. Subject to such waiver, nothing else in this Agreement shall otherwise limit the rights of the Employee under the Bank’s benefit
plans, programs or policies An election by the Employee to resign for Good Reason under the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for the purpose of interpreting the provisions of any
of the Bank’s benefit plans, programs or policies. 
 13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes in all respects all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter. 

14. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Employee and by a duly
authorized representative of the Bank. 
 15. Governing Law. This contract shall be construed under and be governed in all
respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to such state’s conflicts of laws principles. 

  
 6 

 16. Obligations of Successors. 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 Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be
required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 
 17. Additional Limitation. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any compensation, payment or distribution by the Bank to or for the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
or otherwise (the “Severance Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the benefits payable under this Agreement shall be
reduced (but not below zero) to the extent necessary so that the maximum Severance Payments shall not exceed the Threshold Amount, as defined below. To the extent that there is more than one method of reducing the payments to bring them within the
Threshold Amount, the Employee shall determine which method shall be followed; provided that if the Employee fails to make such determination within 15 business days after the Bank has sent the Employee written notice of the need for such reduction,
the Bank may determine the amount of such reduction in its sole discretion. 
 The “Threshold Amount” shall mean three times the
Employee’s “base amount” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder less one dollar ($1.00); and “Excise Tax” shall mean the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Code, and any interest or penalties incurred by the Employee with respect to such excise tax. 
 18. Section 409A. 

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Employee’s “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Bank determines that the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the
Employee becomes entitled to under this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i)
of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Employee’s separation from service, or (B) the Employee’s death;
provided, however, that in the case of benefits, the Employee may elect to pay for the costs of such benefits during such delay period in exchange for reimbursement of such costs after the end of the delay period. Any such delayed cash payment shall
earn interest at an annual rate equal to the applicable federal short-term rate published by the Internal Revenue Service for the month in which the date of separation from service occurs, from such date of separation from service until the payment.

 (b) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any
provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this
Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder
without additional cost to either party. 

  
 7 

 (c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes
“non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Employee’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only
upon the Employee’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

 (d) The Bank makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Employee or any other person if any provisions of
this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

provided, however, that this release shall not affect my rights under the Bank’s Section 401(k) plan, any other “employee benefit

relate to events or occurrences that transpired while I was employed by the Bank. My full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or
trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Bank at mutually convenient times. During the Cooperation Period, I shall also cooperate fully with the Bank in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory
authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while I was employed by the Bank. Any cooperation pursuant to this paragraph is subject to the Bank’s commitment to reimburse me for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with my performance of obligations pursuant to this paragraph, based on the procedures for reimbursement applicable to employee
business expense reimbursement under the Bank’s policies. In addition, if the Bank does not offer to provide me with legal services through the Bank’s counsel in connection with such cooperation, either due to such counsel’s
determination that joint representation cannot be provided or for any other reason, I may condition my cooperation on the Bank’s agreement to reimburse me for any reasonable attorney’s fees that I incur in the providing any cooperation
services pursuant to this paragraph. 
 4. No Assignment. I represent that I have not assigned to any other person or entity any
Claims against any Releasee.

consider this Release for a period ending twenty-one (21) days after the date when it was proposed to me. In the event that I executed this Release within less than twenty-one (21) days after such date, I acknowledge that such decision was
entirely voluntary and that I had the opportunity to consider this Release until the end of the twenty-one (21) day period. To accept this Release, I shall deliver a signed Release to the Bank’s most senior Human Resources officer within

twenty-one (21) day period as set forth above and if it is not revoked pursuant to the preceding sentence. If those conditions are satisfied, this Release shall become effective and enforceable on the date immediately following the last day of
the Revocation Period (the “Effective Date”).

(a) Legal Representation; Review of Release. I acknowledge that I have been advised to discuss all aspects of this Release with my
attorney, that I have carefully read and fully understand all of the provisions of this Release and that I am voluntarily entering into this Release. 

(b) Binding Nature of Release. This Release shall be binding upon me and upon my heirs, administrators, representatives and executors.

 (c) Amendment. This Release may be amended only upon a written agreement executed by the Bank and me. 

(d) Severability. In the event that at any future time it is determined by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction that any
covenant, clause, provision or term of this Release is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions and terms of this Release shall not be affected thereby and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be severed
from the remainder of this Release. In the event of such severance, the remaining covenants shall be binding and enforceable.

 Exhibit 10.5 

AGREEMENT 
 This Agreement
(the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Randolph Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and Chris A. Kreidermacher (the “Employee”). The effectiveness of this Agreement is contingent upon the closing (the
“Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger among Randolph Bancorp, First Eastern Bankshares Corporation (the “Seller Company”), and Richard F. Kalagher, dated as of September 1, 2015 (the
“Merger Agreement”). This Agreement shall be effective upon the date of the Closing (the “Effective Date”). 
 1.
Purpose. The Employee has been employed in a senior capacity by First Federal Savings Bank of Boston (the “Seller Subsidiary”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Seller Company. The Board of Directors of the Bank (the
“Board”) believes that the Employee has the skills, knowledge and experience to be an important and effective contributor to the Bank’s success. The Board seeks to encourage the Employee’s employment with and commitment to the
Bank until at least the one year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Anniversary Date”), during which period the Bank and the Employee shall consider the possibility of future employment. 

2. Certain Employment Terms. The Employee’s employment with the Bank shall commence on the Effective Date. The following
terms shall apply to the Employee’s compensation and employment responsibilities during the Employee’s employment with the Bank. 

(a) Position and Responsibilities. The Bank shall employ the Employee in a management-level position or positions appropriate for an
individual of the Employee’s skills, knowledge and experience with responsibilities consistent with such skills, knowledge and experience. 

(b) Salary. The Bank shall pay the Employee a base salary at an annual rate equal to the Employee’s annual base salary rate as an
employee of the Seller Subsidiary as of the Effective Date. 
 (c) Bonus. The Employee shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus
pursuant to and subject to the terms of any annual short-term incentive plan that is in place for other members of the Bank’s management team. 

(d) Benefits. The Bank shall provide benefits to the Employee in accordance with Sections 7.6(a) – (f) of the Merger
Agreement, which Sections are incorporated herein by reference. 
 3. At-Will Employment. The Bank’s employment of the
Employee shall be on an at-will basis; provided that (i) for any resignation other than a resignation effective on the Anniversary Date, the Employee shall give at least 30 days’ notice of the Employee’s resignation from
employment with the Bank; and (ii) the at-will nature of the Employee’s employment shall not limit the Employee’s rights under Section 4 (Severance Pay). If the Employee gives advance notice of the Employee’s resignation,
the Bank may accelerate the termination of the Employee’s employment by paying the Employee’s salary at the Employee’s base salary rate for any period 

 
of acceleration. Such accelerated resignation shall not affect the treatment of the Employee’s termination as a resignation. For a resignation that is effective on the Anniversary Date, the
Employee shall give at least seven days’ notice. 
 4. Severance Pay. If the Bank and the Employee do not agree before
the Anniversary Date on mutually satisfactory terms for the Employee’s continued employment with the Bank beyond the Anniversary Date, the Employee may elect to resign effective on the Anniversary Date or be terminated without Cause by the Bank
effective on the Anniversary Date, at his election, for the purpose of supporting a potential claim for unemployment benefits subject to applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Employee’s entitlements under this Agreement shall be no
greater if the Employee elects to be terminated without Cause by the Bank effective on the Anniversary Date rather than to resign effective on the Anniversary Date. In the event of any such resignation or termination without Cause, then subject to
the Employee signing a separation agreement to be proposed by the Bank, which shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, amended as reasonably necessary based on applicable law (the “Separation Agreement and
Release”) and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable, all within 45 days after the date of termination, the Bank shall pay to the Employee a severance amount equal to the Employee’s annual base salary as of the date of
termination (the “Base Severance Amount”). If prior to the Anniversary Date, the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Bank for any reason other than for Cause, Disability or death, or if the Employee resigns for Good Reason,
then subject to the Employee signing the Separation Agreement and Release and the Separation Agreement and Release becoming irrevocable all within 45 days after the date of termination, the Bank shall pay to the Employee a severance amount equal to
the Employee’s base salary as of the date of termination expressed in monthly terms multiplied by the number of months from the date of termination to the two year anniversary of the Effective Date, prorated for partial months (the “Early
Termination Severance Amount”). The Base Severance Amount or the Early Termination Severance Amount, whichever is applicable, is referred to as the “Severance Pay.” The Severance Pay shall be paid in a lump sum within 45 days of the
date of termination; provided, however, that if the 45-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in a second calendar year, the Severance Pay shall be paid in the second calendar year no later than the last day of such 45-day period.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Employee shall not be entitled to receive both the Base Severance Amount and the Early Termination Severance Amount; and (ii) in the event that during the Employee’s employment before the
Anniversary Date, there exists Cause for termination or the Employee dies, the Employee shall not be eligible for Severance Pay. 
 5.
Definitions. For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below: 
 (a) “Cause” shall
mean a termination of the Employee’s employment which is a result of: (i) actions and/or omissions by the Employee satisfying the elements of (A) a felony or (B) a misdemeanor involving dishonesty, the taking of property or moral
turpitude; or (ii) willful disclosure of material trade secrets or other material confidential information related to the business of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; or (iii) willful and continued failure substantially
to perform the Employee’s duties with the Bank (other than any such failure resulting from the Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Employee by the
Board, which demand 

  
 2 

 
identifies the specific actions which the Board believes constitute willful and continued failure substantially to perform the Employee’s duties, and which performance is not substantially
corrected by the Employee within fourteen (14) days of receipt of such demand; (iv) willful and knowing participation in releasing false or materially misleading financial statements; (v) dishonesty to the Board regarding any material
matter; or (vi) failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities, after being instructed by the Bank to cooperate, or the Employee’s willful destruction or
failure to preserve documents or other materials known to be relevant to such investigation or the inducement of others to fail to cooperate or to produce documents or other materials in connection with such investigation. 

(b) “Disability” shall mean that if, as a result of the Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Employee
shall have been absent from the Employee’s duties to the Bank on a full-time basis for 120 business days in the aggregate in any 12 month period or is reasonably expected based upon medical information to be absent for such period. If any
question shall arise as to whether during any period the Employee has a Disability, the Employee may, and at the request of the Bank shall, submit to the Bank a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Bank to whom the
Employee has no reasonable objection as to whether the Employee is incapacitated and how long any incapacity is expected to continue. Such certification shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be conclusive of the issue. The Employee shall
cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and the Employee fails to submit such certification, the Bank’s determination of such issue shall be binding on the
Employee. 
 (c) “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Good Reason
Condition”) followed by the Good Reason Process, as defined below: (i) a material adverse change in the Employee’s position and/or responsibilities such that the Employee no longer holds a position with responsibilities appropriate
for an individual of the Employee’s skills, knowledge and experience; or (ii) a material reduction in the Employee’s annual base salary as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time hereafter,
except for across-the-board reductions of annual base salary similarly affecting all executive officers of the Bank; or (iii) the removal of the Employee from eligibility for any short-term incentive plan for members of the Bank’s
management team for which other members of the Bank’s management team remain eligible or the application to the Employee of adverse changes in such plan’s terms that are not applied generally to other management-level participants;
provided that “adverse changes in such plan’s terms” shall not be construed to include changes in bonus targets or good faith determinations of bonus amounts; or (iv) the relocation of the Bank’s offices at which the
Employee is principally employed (the “Current Offices”) to any other location more than 25 miles of driving distance from the Current Offices, or the requirement by the Bank for the Employee to be based more than 25 miles of driving
distance away from the Employee’s residence as of the Effective Date, except for required travel on the Bank’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Employee’s business travel obligations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a suspension of any or all of Employee’s duties or responsibilities by the Bank during an investigation that is initiated pursuant to a direction by the Board shall not constitute the occurrence of a material adverse change for
purposes of clause (i); provided that Employee’s base salary and fringe benefit entitlements continue during the period of such suspension. The “Good Reason Process” shall mean that (i) the Employee reasonably

  
 3 

 
determines in good faith that a Good Reason Condition has occurred; (ii) the Employee gives the Bank written notice of the first occurrence of the Good Reason Condition within 30 days of the
first occurrence of such condition; (C) the Employee cooperates in good faith with the Bank’s efforts for a period of not less than 30 days following such notice (the “Cure Period”) to remedy the Good Reason Condition;
(D) notwithstanding such efforts, the Good Reason Condition continues to exist; and (E) the Employee terminates employment by giving written notice no later than 30 days after the expiration of the Cure Period. If the Bank cures the Good
Reason Condition during the Cure Period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred. 
 6. Withholding. All payments
made by the Bank under this Agreement shall be net of any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Bank under applicable law. 

7. No Mitigation. The Bank agrees that, if the Employee’s employment by the Bank is terminated prior to the Anniversary
Date, the Employee is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to reduce the Severance Pay. Further, the Severance Pay shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Employee as the result of employment by another
employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by the Employee to the Bank or otherwise, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement. 

8. Confidential Information and Bank Property. 

(a) Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information belonging to the Bank
which is of value to the Bank in the course of conducting its business and the disclosure of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Bank. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, financial information,
reports, and forecasts; inventions, improvements and other intellectual property; trade secrets; know-how; software; market or sales information or plans; customer lists; and business plans, prospects and
opportunities (such as possible acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or facilities) which have been discussed or considered by the management of the Bank. Confidential Information includes information developed by the Employee in the course of
the Employee’s employment by the Seller Subsidiary or the Bank, as well as other information to which the Employee may have access in connection with the Employee’s employment. Confidential Information also includes the confidential
information of others with which the Bank has a business relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information in the public domain, unless due to breach of the Employee’s duties under
Section 8(b). 
 (b) Confidentiality. The Employee understands and agrees that the Employee’s employment creates a
relationship of confidence and trust between the Employee and the Bank with respect to all Confidential Information. At all times, both during the Employee’s employment with the Bank and after its termination, the Employee will keep in
confidence and trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of the Bank, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing the Employee’s
duties to the Bank or as otherwise may be required by law. 

  
 4 

 (c) Documents, Records, etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other
physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are furnished to the Employee by the Bank or any affiliate or are produced by the Employee in connection with the Employee’s employment will be and remain the sole
property of the Bank. The Employee will return to the Bank all such materials and property as and when requested by the Bank. In any event, the Employee will return all such materials and property promptly following termination of the
Employee’s employment for any reason other than death. The Employee will not retain with the Employee any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination. 

(d) Injunction. The Employee agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Bank which might result from any
breach by the Employee of the promises set forth in this Section 8, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, subject to Section 9 of this Agreement, the Employee agrees that if the
Employee breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of this Section 8, the Bank shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach. 

9. Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or
otherwise relating to the Employee’s employment with the Bank or its termination, including without limitation statutory claims (including without limitation statutory discrimination or wage claims) and common law contract and tort claims shall
be settled exclusively by arbitration in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Employment Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Such arbitration shall be conducted in the City of Boston. In the
event that any person or entity other than the Employee or the Bank may be a party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entity’s agreement.
Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of
obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 9. 

10. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The
failure of either party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by either party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a
waiver of any subsequent breach. 
 11. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this
Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Employee at the last address the Employee has filed in writing with the Bank, or to the Bank at its main office,
attention of the Board. 
 12. Effect on Other Plans. The Employee hereby waives any rights to any severance benefits under
any current or future Bank severance pay plan or program with respect to any 

  
 5 

 
termination of employment that renders the Employee eligible for Severance Pay pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to such waiver, nothing else in this Agreement shall otherwise limit the rights
of the Employee under the Bank’s benefit plans, programs or policies An election by the Employee to resign for Good Reason under the provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a voluntary termination of employment by the Employee for the
purpose of interpreting the provisions of any of the Bank’s benefit plans, programs or policies. 
 13. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes in all respects all prior agreements between the parties concerning such subject matter. 

14. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Employee and by a duly
authorized representative of the Bank. 
 15. Governing Law. This contract shall be construed under and be governed in all
respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to such state’s conflicts of laws principles. 

16. Obligations of Successors. 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 Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to perform if no such
succession had taken place. 
 17. Additional Limitation. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the
event that any compensation, payment or distribution by the Bank to or for the benefit of the Employee, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the “Severance
Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the benefits payable under this Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the
extent necessary so that the maximum Severance Payments shall not exceed the Threshold Amount, as defined below. To the extent that there is more than one method of reducing the payments to bring them within the Threshold Amount, the Employee shall
determine which method shall be followed; provided that if the Employee fails to make such determination within 15 business days after the Bank has sent the Employee written notice of the need for such reduction, the Bank may determine the amount of
such reduction in its sole discretion. 
 The “Threshold Amount” shall mean three times the Employee’s “base
amount” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder less one dollar ($1.00); and “Excise Tax” shall mean the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, and any
interest or penalties incurred by the Employee with respect to such excise tax. 
 18. Section 409A. 

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Employee’s “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Bank determines that the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that the
Employee 

  
 6 

 
becomes entitled to under this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the
application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after the Employee’s separation from
service, or (B) the Employee’s death; provided, however, that in the case of benefits, the Employee may elect to pay for the costs of such benefits during such delay period in exchange for reimbursement of such costs after the end of the
delay period. Any such delayed cash payment shall earn interest at an annual rate equal to the applicable federal short-term rate published by the Internal Revenue Service for the month in which the date of separation from service occurs, from such
date of separation from service until the payment. 
 (b) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with
Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with
Section 409A of the Code. The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order
to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party. 
 (c) To the extent that any payment or
benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon the Employee’s termination of employment, then
such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon the Employee’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). 
 (d) The Bank makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the
Employee or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.

 EXHIBIT A 

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE 

I enter into this Separation Agreement and Release (the “Release”) pursuant to Section 4 of the Agreement between Randolph
Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and me (the “Agreement”), which Agreement was effective as of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger between Randolph Bancorp and First Eastern Bankshares
Corporation (the “Seller Company”), dated as of September 1, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”). I acknowledge my timely execution and return and my non-revocation of this Release are conditions to the payment of the Severance
Pay in Section 4 of the Agreement. I therefore agree to the following terms: 
 1. Release of Claims. I voluntarily release and
forever discharge the Bank, its affiliated and related entities, its predecessors, successors and assigns, its employee benefit plans and fiduciaries of such plans, and the current and former officers, directors, shareholders, employees, attorneys,
accountants and agents of any and all of the foregoing in their official and personal capacities (collectively referred to as the “Releasees”) generally from all claims, demands, debts, damages and liabilities of every name and nature,
known or unknown (“Claims”) that, as of the date when I sign this Release, I have, ever had, now claim to have or ever claimed to have had against any or all of the Releasees. This includes, without limitation, the release of all Claims:

  

	•	 	relating to my employment by the Bank and the termination of my employment; 

  

	•	 	of wrongful discharge; 

  

	•	 	of breach of contract; 

  

	•	 	of retaliation or discrimination under federal, state or local law (including, without limitation, Claims of age discrimination or retaliation under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Claims of disability
discrimination or retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Claims of discrimination or retaliation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Claims of any form of discrimination or retaliation that is prohibited by the
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 151B); 

  

	•	 	under any other federal or state statute; 

  

	•	 	of defamation or other torts; 

  

	•	 	of violation of public policy; 

  

	•	 	for wages, bonuses, incentive compensation, vacation pay or any other compensation or benefits, either under the Massachusetts Wage Act, M.G.L. c. 149, §§ 148-150C, or otherwise; and

  

	•	 	for damages or other remedies of any sort, including, without limitation, compensatory damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorney’s fees; 

provided, however, that this release shall not affect my rights under the Bank’s Section 401(k) plan, any other “employee benefit
plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1002(3), my continuing rights under the Agreement (including the right to payment of any bonus for which an award has been determined but has
not been paid during the term of employment), any statutory right to earned but unpaid wages, including 

 
vacation pay, statutory or common law rights of indemnification or defense for claims against me based on my status and conduct as an officer of the Bank under any applicable insurance policy,
contracts, governing documents or bylaws. In addition, nothing in this release shall affect my rights arising from any relationship that I may have with the Bank or any affiliated or related entity as a customer or a client. Furthermore, nothing in
this release shall affect my rights to pursue Claims against individuals based on actions taken in their personal capacities that are unrelated in any way to my employment with the Bank or its termination. 

I agree that I shall not seek or accept damages of any nature, other equitable or legal remedies for my own benefit, attorney’s fees, or costs from any
of the Releasees with respect to any Claim released by this Release. I represent that I have not assigned to any third party and I have not filed with any agency or court any Claim released by this Release. 

2. Ongoing Obligations. I reaffirm my ongoing obligations under the Employment Agreement, including without limitation my obligations
under Section 8 (“Confidential Information and Bank Property”). 
 3. Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. I further
agree that for a period of two years from the date of the termination of my employment with the Bank (the “Cooperation Period”), I shall cooperate fully with the Bank in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence
or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Bank which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while I was employed by the Bank. My full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be
limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Bank at mutually convenient times. During the Cooperation Period, I shall also cooperate fully with the Bank in connection
with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while I was employed by the Bank. Any cooperation pursuant to this paragraph is
subject to the Bank’s commitment to reimburse me for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with my performance of obligations pursuant to
this paragraph, based on the procedures for reimbursement applicable to employee business expense reimbursement under the Bank’s policies. In addition, if the Bank does not offer to provide me with legal services through the Bank’s counsel
in connection with such cooperation, either due to such counsel’s determination that joint representation cannot be provided or for any other reason, I may condition my cooperation on the Bank’s agreement to reimburse me for any reasonable
attorney’s fees that I incur in the providing any cooperation services pursuant to this paragraph. 
 4. No Assignment. I
represent that I have not assigned to any other person or entity any Claims against any Releasee. 
 5. Right to Consider and Revoke
Release. I acknowledge that I have been given the opportunity to consider this Release for a period ending twenty-one (21) days after the date when it was proposed to me. In the event that I executed this Release within less than twenty-one
(21) days after such date, I acknowledge that such decision was entirely voluntary and that I had the opportunity to consider this Release until the end of the twenty-one (21) day period. To accept this Release, I shall deliver a signed
Release to the Bank’s most senior Human Resources officer within such twenty-one (21) day period. For a period of seven (7) days from the date when the I 

  
 2 

 
execute this Release (the “Revocation Period”), I shall retain the right to revoke this Release by written notice that is received by such Human Resources officer on or
before the last day of the Revocation Period. This Release shall take effect only if it is executed within the twenty-one (21) day period as set forth above and if it is not revoked pursuant to the preceding sentence. If those conditions are
satisfied, this Release shall become effective and enforceable on the date immediately following the last day of the Revocation Period (the “Effective Date”). 

6. Other Terms. 
 (a)
Legal Representation; Review of Release. I acknowledge that I have been advised to discuss all aspects of this Release with my attorney, that I have carefully read and fully understand all of the provisions of this Release and that I am
voluntarily entering into this Release. 
 (b) Binding Nature of Release. This Release shall be binding upon me and upon my heirs,
administrators, representatives and executors. 
 (c) Amendment. This Release may be amended only upon a written agreement executed
by the Bank and me. 
 (d) Severability. In the event that at any future time it is determined by an arbitrator or court of competent
jurisdiction that any covenant, clause, provision or term of this Release is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions and terms of this Release shall not be affected thereby and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable term or
provision shall be severed from the remainder of this Release. In the event of such severance, the remaining covenants shall be binding and enforceable. 

(e) Governing Law and Interpretation. This Release shall be deemed to be made and entered into in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
and shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions of Massachusetts law. The language of all parts of this Release shall in
all cases be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against the Bank or me. 
 (f) Entire
Agreement; Absence of Reliance. I acknowledge that I am not relying on any promises or representations by the Bank or any of its agents, representatives or attorneys regarding any subject matter addressed in this Release. 

So agreed.
