the parties agree as follows:

     1. Amendment to Change in Control Agreement. The following amendments to the Change
in Control Agreement are effective as of July 1, 2007, and the modifications to the Change in

in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 2(b), Executive shall be entitled
to the payment set forth in Section 3 on the later of the Closing Date of the Change in
Control or the first business day in January 2008.

     (b) Section 2(b) shall be amended as follows:

     (b) Change in Control Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in
Control” shall mean a (1) a change in ownership of Bancorp or Boardwalk under paragraph (i)
below, or (2) a change in effective control of Bancorp or Boardwalk under paragraph (ii)
below, or (3) a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Bancorp or
Boardwalk under paragraph (iii) below:

     (i) Change in ownership of the Boardwalk or Bancorp. A change in the ownership of the

group (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-

 

 

3(i)(5)(v)(B)), acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with
stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value
or total voting power of the stock of such corporation; or

     (ii) Change in the effective control of Boardwalk or Bancorp. A change in the
effective control of Boardwalk or Bancorp shall occur on the date that either (i) any one
person, or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi)(D)), acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the
date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of
Boardwalk or Bancorp possessing 35% or more of the total voting power of the stock of
Boardwalk or Bancorp; or (ii) a majority of members of Boardwalk’s or Bancorp’s board of
Directors is replaced during any 12-month period by Directors whose appointment or election
is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the corporation’s board of Directors prior
to the date of the appointment or election, provided that this sub-section (ii) is
inapplicable where a majority shareholder of Boardwalk is another corporation; or

     (iii) Change in the ownership of a substantial portion of Boardwalk’s or Bancorp’s
assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of Boardwalk’s or Bancorp’s
assets shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a

acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by
such person or persons) assets from Boardwalk or Bancorp that have a total gross fair market
value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of
the corporation immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose,
gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the corporation, or the value of
the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with
such assets. There is no Change in Control event under this paragraph (iii) when there is a
transfer to an entity that is controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation
immediately after the transfer; or

     (iv) For all purposes hereunder, the definition of Change in Control shall be construed
to be consistent with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(i)(5), except to the extent modified herein. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no trust department or other designated fiduciary or other trustee of such trust
department of Boardwalk, or other similar fiduciary capacity of Boardwalk or Bancorp with
direct voting control of the stock shall be included or considered. Further, no
profit-sharing, employee stock ownership, employee stock purchase and savings, employee
pension, or other employee benefit plan of Boardwalk or Bancorp, and no trustee of any such
plan in its capacity as such trustee, shall be included or considered for purposes of
determining a Change in Control.

     2. Continuation of Change in Control Agreement. Except as amended hereby, the Change
in Control Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its term.

     3. Applicable Law. This amendment to the Change in Control Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws (but not the law of conflict of
laws) of the State of New Jersey.

     4. Representations and Warranties. The parties hereto represent and warrant to each
other that they have carefully read this amendment to the Change in Control Agreement and consulted
with respect thereto with their respective counsel, and that each of them fully understands the
content of this amendment to the Change in Control Agreement is legal, valid and binding obligation
of such party which is enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms.

     5. Successors and Assigns. This amendment to the Change in Control Agreement shall be
binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective
heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. Boardwalk shall require any successor
(whether direct, indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially
all of the business or assets of either Bancorp or Boardwalk to expressly assume and agree to
perform this amendment to the Change in Control Agreement, in the same manner and to the same
extent that Boardwalk would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place, unless
the provisions hereof will be binding upon such successor by operation of law.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this amendment to the Change in Control
Agreement, or caused it to be executed, as of the date first above written.
