1.2Administrator.  The Bank shall be the “Administrator” and, solely for the purposes of ERISA as discussed herein, the “fiduciary” of this Agreement where a fiduciary is required by ERISA.

1.13Separation From Service/ Termination of Employment.  The terms “Separation From Service” (Separates From Service) and “Termination of Employment” shall be used interchangeably for the purposes of this Agreement and shall be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of IRC 409A. Currently, IRC 409A provides that, whether a termination of employment has occurred is determined based on whether the facts and circumstances indicate that the Bank and the Executive reasonably anticipate that no further services will be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona fide services the employee will perform after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) will permanently decrease to no more than twenty (20%) percent of the average level of bona fide services performed (as an employee or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period (or the full period of services to the employer if the employee has been providing services to the employer less than 36 months). There shall be no Separation From Service while the Executive is on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence, as long as such leave does not exceed six (6) months, or if longer, so long as the individual retains a right to re-employment with the service recipient under an applicable statute or by contract.

1.14Specified Employee. The term “Specified Employee” shall be defined in accordance with IRC 409A. At present, and in accordance with IRC 409A, the term “Specified Employee” means an employee who, as of the date of the employee’s Separation from Service, is a key employee of an employer of which any stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise. An employee is a key employee if the employee meets the requirements of section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii), or (iii) (applied in accordance with the regulations thereunder and disregarding section 416(i)(5)) at any time during the twelve (12) month period ending on a specified employee identification date. If Executive is a key employee as of a specified employee identification date, then Executive shall be treated as a key employee for the entire twelve (12) month period beginning on the specified employee effective date.

1.15Termination for Cause. The term “Termination for Cause” shall mean Termination of Executive’s employment by reason of any of the following:

A.Executive’s personal dishonesty, incompetence or willful misconduct;

C.Executive’s intentional failure to perform Executive’s duties for the Bank after a written demand for performance is given to Executive by the Board which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that Executive has not performed his duties;

D.Executive’s willful violation of any law, rule, regulation or final cease and desist order (other than traffic violations or similar minor offenses) to the extent detrimental to the Bank’s business or reputation; or

E.Executive’s material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

2.Scope, Purpose and Effect.

2.1Contract of Employment.  Although this Agreement is intended to provide Executive with an additional incentive to remain in the employ of the Employer, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between Executive and the Employer nor shall any provision of this Agreement restrict or expand the right of the Employer to terminate Executive’s employment.  This Agreement shall have no impact or effect upon any separate written Employment Agreement which Executive may have with the Employer, it being the parties’ intention and agreement that unless this Agreement is specifically referenced in said Employment Agreement (or any modification thereto), this Agreement (and the Employer’s obligations hereunder) shall stand separate and apart and shall have no effect on or be affected by, the terms and provisions of said Employment Agreement.

2.2Fringe Benefit.  The benefits provided by this Agreement are granted by the Bank as a fringe benefit to Executive and are not a part of any salary reduction plan or any arrangement deferring a bonus or a salary increase. Executive has no option to take any current payments or bonus in lieu of the benefits provided by this Agreement.

2.3Prohibited Payments.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any payment made under this Agreement is a “golden parachute payment” as defined in Section 28(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. section 1828(k) and Part 359 of the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (collectively, the “FDIC Rules”) or is otherwise prohibited, restricted or subject to the prior approval of a Bank Regulator, no payment shall be made hereunder without complying with said FDIC Rules.

2.4Additional Prohibited Payments. If the Bank is subject to the executive compensation limitations under the United States Treasury Department’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) at the time Executive becomes entitled to any payment under this Agreement, and if such payment, together with any other payments which Executive has the right to receive from the Bank, exceed the limits allowed for Executive established under TARP, then the aggregate payments to Executive pursuant to this Agreement and any other agreement with Executive shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such payments violating the executive compensation limitations under TARP.

3.Delay in Payments for Specified Employee in the Event of a Separation From Service.

3.1Internal Revenue Code Section 409A Compliance. It is the intent of the parties to comply with all applicable Internal Revenue Code Sections, including, but not limited to, IRC 409A. Furthermore, for the purposes of this Agreement, IRC Section 409A shall be read to include any related or relevant IRS Notices or clarifications. While it is understood that a general IRC 409A savings clause will not be effective, the parties intend that any ambiguities regarding any terms or payouts contained herein shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with IRC 409A.

Thus, for any benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement due to a Separation From

4

Service, if the individual is a Specified Employee (as defined herein and by IRC 409A) as of the date of the Separation From Service, and the Employer’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, any such benefit shall be withheld for six (6) months following such Separation From Service in order to comply with IRC 409A. In addition, for any individual affected by this six (6) month delay in payment imposed by IRC 409A, and if and/or when applicable, the aggregate amount of the first seven (7) months of installments shall be paid at the beginning of the seventh month following the date of Separation From Service. Monthly installment payments shall continue thereafter if called for.

4.Executive Benefits Payments.

4.1In the Event Executive Does not Separate From Service with the Bank Until on or After Normal Retirement.  In the event Executive does not Separate From Service until on or after the attaining the Normal Retirement Age of Sixty-Five (65) (and for any reason other than “For Cause”), then Executive (or his designated Beneficiaries) shall be entitled to be paid an annual Executive Benefit equal to Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000).  This annual Executive Benefit shall be paid in twelve (12) substantially equal monthly installments on the first day of each month, beginning with the month following the month in which Executive Separates From Service and continuing until the death of the Executive or for a period of Fifteen (15) Years, whichever is the later to occur.

4.2Payments in the Event Executive Separates From Service Prior to Normal Retirement.  In the event Executive Separates From Service prior to qualifying for Normal Retirement (and for any reason other than for Cause or due to death), then Executive shall be entitled to be paid the following annual amount, based on the date of his Separation From Service:

Date of Separation From Service	Annual Benefit Amount
January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008	$	14,000
January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009	$	16,000
January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010	$	18,000
January 1, 2011 and thereafter	$	20,000

This annual Executive Benefit shall be paid in twelve (12) substantially equal monthly installments on the first day of each month, beginning with the month following the month in which Executive Separates From Service and continuing until the death of the Executive or for a period of Fifteen (15) Years, whichever is the later to occur.

4.3Termination for Cause.  In the event Executive’s Employment with the Employer is Terminated at any time for Cause, then he shall forfeit any and all rights and benefits he may have under the terms of this Agreement and shall have no right to be paid any of the amounts which would otherwise be due or paid to the Executive by the Employer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

4.4Death. In the event Executive dies while employed by the Bank and prior to attaining the Normal Retirement Age of Sixty-Five (65), then Executive’s designated

5

Beneficiary(ies) shall be entitled to receive an annual Executive Benefit equal to Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000). This annual Executive Benefit shall be paid in twelve (12) substantially equal monthly installments on the first day of each month, beginning with the month following the month in which Executive dies and continuing for a period of Fifteen (15) Years.

In the event Executive dies after becoming entitled to benefits under this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of Paragraphs 4.1 or 4.2 but prior to receiving any or all such benefit payments, then Executive’s designated Beneficiary(ies) (pursuant to section 8.0) shall be entitled to receive any and all such outstanding payments in the same amount and on the same payment schedule as Executive would have received had he survived.

5.0IRS Section 280G Issues.  If all or any portion of the amounts payable to Executive under this Agreement, either alone or together with other payments which Executive has the right to receive from the Employer, constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), that are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or similar tax and/or assessment), Executive shall be responsible for the payment of such excise tax and Employer (and its successor) shall be responsible for any loss of deductibility related thereto; provided, however, that Employer and Executive shall cooperate with each other and use all reasonable efforts to minimize to the fullest extent possible (and in accordance with IRC 409A)  the amount of excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.  If, at a later date, it is determined (pursuant to final regulations or published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service, final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or otherwise) that the amount of excise taxes payable by Executive is greater than the amount initially so determined, then Executive shall pay an amount equal to the sum of such additional excise taxes and any interest, fines and penalties resulting from such underpayment.  The determination of the amount of any such excise taxes shall be made by the independent accounting firm employed by the Employer immediately prior to the change in control or such other independent accounting firm or advisor as may be mutually agreeable to Employer and Executive in the exercise of their reasonable good faith judgment.

6.0Administrative and Claims Provision.

6.1Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator.  The “Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator” of this executive plan shall be the Bank until its resignation or removal by the Board of Directors. As Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator, the Bank shall be responsible for the management, control and administration of this executive plan. The Named Fiduciary may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operation responsibilities of the plan, including employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.

6.2Claims Procedure.  In the event a dispute arises over the benefits under this Agreement and benefits are not paid to the Employee (or to the Employee’s beneficiary[ies], if applicable) and such claimants feel they are entitled to receive such benefits, then a written claim must be made to the Employer (as the plan administrator) in accordance with the following procedures:

The notice of extension must set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the Administrator expects to render its decision.

The notice of extension must set forth the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render its decision.

In considering the review, the Administrator shall take into account all materials and information the claimant submits relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.

The “prevailing party” means any party determined by the arbitrator(s) or court to be entitled to money payments from the other, not necessarily the party in whose favor a judgment is rendered.

8.0Beneficiary Designation

8.1Beneficiary Designation. If applicable, Executive shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as his Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (both primary as well as secondary) to whom benefits under this Agreement shall be paid in the event of his death prior to complete distribution to the Executive of the benefits due under this Agreement. Each Beneficiary designation shall be in a written form and will be effective only when filed with the Administrator during the Executive’s lifetime.

8.2Amendments to Beneficiary Designation. Any beneficiary designation may be changed by the Executive without the consent of any designated Beneficiary by the filing of a new Beneficiary designation with the Administrator. The filing of a new Beneficiary designation form

9.0Status as an Unsecured General Creditor and Rabbi Trust.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary:  (i) Executive shall have no legal or equitable rights, interests or claims in or to any specific property or assets of the Employer as a result of this Agreement; (ii) none of the Bank’s assets shall be held in or under any trust for the benefit of Executive or held in any way as security for the fulfillment of the obligations of the Bank under this Agreement; (iii) all of the Bank’s assets shall be and remain the general unpledged and unrestricted assets of the Bank; (iv) the Bank’s obligation under this Agreement shall be that of an unfunded and unsecured promise by the Bank to pay money in the future; and (v) Executive shall be an unsecured general creditor with respect to any benefits which may be payable under the terms of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding subparagraphs (i) through (v) above, the Bank and Executive acknowledge and agree that, in the event of a Change in Control, upon request of Executive, or in the Bank’s discretion if Executive does not so request and the Bank nonetheless deems it appropriate, the Bank shall establish, not later than the effective date of the Change in Control, a Rabbi Trust or multiple Rabbi Trusts (the “Trust” or “Trusts”) upon such terms and conditions as the Bank, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and in compliance with applicable provisions of the Code, in order to permit the Bank to make contributions and/or transfer assets to the Trust or Trusts to discharge its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.  The principal of the Trust or Trusts and any earnings thereon shall be held separate and apart from other funds of the Bank to be used exclusively for discharge of the Bank’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement and shall continue to be subject to the claims of the Bank’s general creditors until paid to Executive in such manner and at such times as specified in this Agreement.

10.0Miscellaneous.

10.1Opportunity To Consult With Independent Advisors.  Executive acknowledges that he has been afforded the opportunity to consult with independent advisors of his choosing including, without limitation, accountants or tax advisors and counsel regarding both

the benefits granted to him under the terms of this Agreement and the (i) terms and conditions which may affect Executive’s right to these benefits and (ii) personal tax effects of such benefits including, without limitation, the effects of any federal or state taxes, Section 280G of the Code, and any other taxes, costs, expenses or liabilities whatsoever related to such benefits, which in any of the foregoing instances Executive acknowledges and agrees shall be the sole responsibility of Executive, provided, however, that Employer and Executive shall cooperate with each other and use all reasonable efforts to minimize to the fullest extent possible the amount of excise tax imposed by Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. In the event the parties are unable to eliminate such excise taxes, Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the Bank shall have no liability whatsoever related to any such personal tax effects or other personal costs, expenses, or liabilities applicable to Executive and further specifically waives any right for himself or herself, and his or her heirs, beneficiaries, legal representatives, agents, successor and assign to claim or assert liability on the part of the Bank related to the matters described above in this paragraph. Executive further acknowledges that he has read, understands and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that he enters into this Agreement with a full understanding of its terms and conditions.
