commence until the 185^th day following the date of Participant’s separation from service (the “Six Month Rule”). All payments which are delayed on account of the foregoing sentence shall be paid (without interest) with the first payment that is not subject thereto. In the event that said Participant shall die following the commencement of benefits hereunder, but prior to receiving 180 monthly payments, the Bank will pay to the Participant’s beneficiary, designated on the attached Exhibit “A”, Beneficiary Designation Form, the balance of said payments until a total of 180 payments have been made by the Bank. The beneficiary designated by the Participant on the attached Beneficiary Designation Form shall be the Participant’s legal spouse, if married, unless such spouse shall consent in writing, to the designation of another beneficiary. If, at the time of the Participant’s death, there is no surviving spouse, or if the designation of beneficiary shall be ineffective for any reason, the beneficiary shall conclusively be deemed to be the Participant’s lineal descendants, per stirpes or, if none, those persons who would be entitled to share in the Participant’s estate if the Participant died intestate. Any beneficiary designation in favor of the Participant’s spouse shall be void upon the Participant’s divorce or legal separation from that spouse. Subject to the foregoing, the Participant may, at any time, change the beneficiary hereunder by filing a new Beneficiary Designation Form with the Secretary of the Bank. No payments shall be made under this Paragraph 1.A unless the Participant first executes a release substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto within 60 days following the date of the Participant’s separation from service as defined herein.

1.A(i) Extended Retirement: In addition to the benefit provided in “A. Normal Retirement” of the Agreement, the Participant also shall be entitled to a continuation of his Normal Retirement benefit payments (i.e., an additional benefit) if his date of “separation from service” (as defined in Section 1.A.) occurs on or after the date he attains age sixty-nine (69). Such continuation of Normal Retirement benefit payments shall commence on the first day of the month following the end of the original fifteen (15) year benefit period described in Section 1.A. and shall continue for the life of the Participant, with the last payment made on the first day of the month in which the Participant dies. For the avoidance of doubt, the benefit provided in this Section 1.A(i) shall not modify the amount, time or form of the payments described in Section 1.A.

B. Pre-Retirement Death: In the event the Participant dies while employed by the Bank, but prior to the commencement of benefits under Section 1, Paragraph A (except on account of the Six Month Rule as defined therein), the Participant’s beneficiary as designated on the Beneficiary Designation Form (pursuant to the rules on beneficiary designations set forth in Paragraph 1.A.), shall receive a lump sum death benefit of $200,000. Such amount shall be payable no later than 60 days following the date of the Participant’s death. Upon payment of this amount, no further sums shall be due the Participant or his beneficiary.

Forfeiture of Benefits. Notwithstanding any other provision of this plan to the contrary, supplemental retirement benefits shall be forfeited or suspended if the Participant is discharged for cause by reason of fraud, dishonesty, embezzlement or any other breach of trust.

Ownership of Insurance. All rights and incidents of ownership in any life insurance policy that the Bank may purchase insuring the life of the Participant shall belong exclusively to the Bank, and neither the Participant or any beneficiary or other person claiming under or through him or her shall have any rights, title or interest in or to any such insurance policy. Neither the Participant nor any beneficiary under this Agreement shall have any power to transfer, assign, hypothecate or otherwise encumber, in advance any of the benefits payable hereunder, nor shall any benefits be subject to seizure for the benefit of any debts or judgments, or be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise.

Administration. The Bank shall have full power and authority to interpret, construe and administer this Plan, to adopt appropriate procedures and to make all decisions necessary or proper to carry out the terms of the Plan. The Bank's interpretation and construction hereof, and actions hereunder, including any determination of benefit amount or designation of the person to receive supplemental payments, shall be binding and conclusive on all persons for all purposes. Neither the Bank, nor its officers, employees, or directors, nor any member thereof shall be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of this Plan.

Other Provisions.

A. Retirement Plan: Nothing in this Agreement shall diminish or impair the Participant's eligibility, participation or benefit entitlement under the qualified retirement plan for the employees of the Bank, or any other benefit, insurance or compensation plan or agreement of the Bank now or hereinafter in effect.

B. Reductions of Benefits: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if payments received or to be received under this Agreement, together with any other amounts and the value of benefits received or to be received by the Participant under another agreement, would cause any amount to be nondeductible for federal income tax purposes pursuant to or by reason of Code Section 280G, then payments under this Agreement shall be reduced (not less than zero) to the extent necessary so as to maximize amounts and the value of benefits to be received by the Participant without causing any amount to become nondeductible pursuant to or by reason of Code Section 280G. To the extent permitted by Code Section 280G and Section 409A, the

Participant may determine the allocation of such reduction among payments he is entitled to receive under this Agreement and payments or the value of benefits he is entitled to receive under other agreements.

C. No Effect on Employment: This Plan shall not be deemed to give the Participant any right to be retained in the employment of the Bank, or to interfere with the right of the Bank to terminate the Participant at any time and to treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him as a Participant in this Plan.

D. Legally Binding: The rights, privileges, benefits and obligations under this Plan are intended to be legal obligations of the Bank and binding upon the Bank, its successors and assigns.

E. Modification: The Bank by action of the Board of Directors, reserves the exclusive right to amend, modify or terminate this Plan. Any such termination, modification or amendment shall not terminate or diminish any present or future rights or benefits. The Bank shall give thirty (30) days’ notice, in writing, to the Participant prior to the effective date of any such amendment, modification or termination of this Plan. The Plan may be amended or terminated only if the amendment or termination occurs in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.

In witness whereof, the Bank has caused this Agreement to be executed by its Secretary duly authorized and the Participant as of the date first written set forth above.
