Additionally, Mr. Rinaldi managed most major initiatives for the bank as well as the supervision of the IT, Operations and Administrative functions.

The significant terms of the Employment Agreement are summarized below:

• Term. The Employment Agreement is effective as of October 19, 2009 and continues from then to December 31, 2009 (the “Stub Period”) and from the end of the Stub Period to December 31, 2012 (the “Initial Term”), and shall continue thereafter for successive terms of one (1) year following the Initial Term. The Stub Period, the Initial Term and each one-year term thereafter are collectively referred to as the “Term.” The Company and Mr. Rinaldi may terminate the Employment Agreement by giving notice two months prior to the end of the Initial Term and any subsequent year.

• Salary. Mr. Rinaldi’s base salary under the Employment Agreement during the Stub Period is $45,833 per month and during the Initial Term is $550,000 annually.

The share salary shall be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, and the number of shares will be determined each pay period by dividing the amount of salary to be paid for that pay period by the reported closing price on the New York Stock Exchange for a share of the Company’s common stock on the pay date for such pay period. The Company and Mr. Rinaldi will enter into a Stock Award Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference

(or in the six months preceding Mr. Rinaldi’s termination of employment with the Company was actively employed) by the Company, except for rehire by the Company.

• Agreement Subject to TARP. So long as the Company is subject to the TARP Rules, the provisions of the Employment Agreement are subject to and shall be interpreted to be consistent with such requirements.

Rinaldi, residing at ___(“Executive”) (the Company and Executive referred to collectively as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS the Company is a holding company, primarily engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the business of obtaining funds in the form of deposits and wholesale borrowings and investing those funds in single-family mortgages and other types of loans (the “Business of the Company”) and desires to employ Executive as its Executive Vice-President and Chief of Staff, and Executive desires to become so employed by the Company,

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE ONE

EMPLOYMENT

     1.01 Agreement as to Employment.

          This Agreement will be deemed to be effective as of October 19, 2009 (the “Effective Date”). As of the Effective Date, the Company hereby employs Executive as its Executive Vice-President and Chief of Staff, and Executive hereby accepts such employment by the Company, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive’s employment and the Company’s and Executive’s obligations hereunder are contingent upon receipt by Flagstar Bank, FSB (“Flagstar Bank”) of prior written non-objection of the Regional Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision in accordance with condition 7 of Order number 2009-06, issued January 29, 2009 by the Office of Thrift Supervision. In the event such prior written non-objection is not received, this Agreement shall terminate effective immediately prior to the Effective Date and neither the Company nor Executive shall have any obligations hereunder.

     1.02 Employment Term.

          The initial stub term of Executive’s employment by the Company under this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and end on December 31, 2009 (the “Stub Period”).

Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate as of the end of the Term, unless earlier terminated as hereinafter provided. The Company reserves the right to relieve Executive of his duties at any time after his or its notice of termination without affecting his right to compensation and other benefits under the Agreement during the Notice Period and without such relief’s constituting a separate termination or a breach of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall be effective as to those portions of this Agreement which, by their express terms as set forth herein, require performance by either Party following termination of this Agreement.

     1.03 Freedom to Contract.

          Executive represents and warrants that he has the right to enter into this Agreement, that he is eligible for employment by the Company and that no other written or verbal agreements exist that would be in conflict with or prevent performance of any portion of this Agreement. Executive further agrees to hold the Company harmless from any and all liability arising out of any prior contractual obligations entered into by Executive. Executive represents and warrants that he has not made and will not make any contractual or other commitments that do or would conflict with or prevent his performance of his obligations hereunder.

     1.04 Title and Duties.

(a) During the Term, Executive shall be employed by the Company to serve as its Executive Vice-President and Chief of Staff, subject to the authority and direction of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), and shall report directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”). Executive shall perform such duties relating to the Company and its affiliates, including any subsequently-acquired affiliates (collectively the “Affiliates”), consistent with his position as Executive Vice-President and Chief of Staff, as are assigned to him from time to time by the CEO and any other duties undertaken or accepted by Executive consistent with such position. In that connection, throughout the Term Executive shall serve as Executive Vice-President and Chief of Staff of the Company as determined by the Board in its discretion. Executive shall have such authority, responsibility and duties as are normally associated with the position of Executive Vice-President and Chief of Staff with respect to the Company. Executive shall be appointed to such position with the Company effective as of the Effective Date.

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 1.04(b), Executive agrees to devote substantially all of his business time and efforts to the Company as long as he is employed under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may continue, throughout the Term, to engage in charitable, community and personal activities and in the management of personal investments and his personal and family affair.

     1.05 Compensation.

(a) Base Salary. During the Stub Period, the Company shall pay to Executive a gross monthly base salary of $45,833.00, payable monthly or more frequently in accordance

2

with the Company’s payroll policy for its other executives and pro-rated for any partial month during the Stub Period. During the Initial Term, the Company shall pay to Executive a gross annual salary of $550,000.00 (the “Base Salary”), payable monthly or more frequently in accordance with the Company’s payroll policy for its other executives. Following the Initial Term, the Base Salary shall be reviewed for adjustment at the discretion of the Board annually during the Term, and, if adjusted (but not below $550,000), such adjusted amount shall become the “Base Salary” for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Share Salary. During the Stub Period, the Company shall pay to Executive a gross monthly share salary of $25,000.00, payable at the time that base salary is payable to the Executive and pro-rated for any partial month during the Stub Period, in grants of unrestricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), having a Fair Market Value (as defined below) on the date of grant equal to the pro rata portion of the share salary payable on each such pay date. During the Initial Term, the Company shall pay to Executive a gross annual share salary of $300,000.00 payable, at the time that base salary is payable to the Executive, in grants of unrestricted shares of the Common Stock, having a Fair Market Value on the date of grant equal to the pro rata portion of the share salary payable on each such pay date (the “Share Salary”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market Value” shall mean, as of any specified date, the closing price of the Common Stock as reported in The Wall Street Journal’s New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) — Composite Transactions listing for such day (corrected for obvious typographical errors), or if the shares are listed for trading on the NYSE but no closing price is reported in such listing for such day, then the last reported closing price for such shares on the NYSE, or if such shares are not listed or traded on the NYSE, the closing sales price on any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, or if the Common Stock is not traded on any national securities exchange, then the mean of the reported high and low sales prices for such shares in the over-the-counter market, as reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System, or if such prices shall not be reported thereon, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board. The Board may, but shall have no obligation to, engage one or more appraisers in making its determination of Fair Market Value, and the Fair Market Value as determined by the Board may be higher or lower than any such appraisal. In making its determination of Fair Market Value, the Board shall comply with Section 409A (as defined below), to the extent applicable, and the applicable Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department regulations thereunder. Following the Initial Term, the Share Salary shall be reviewed for increase (but not decrease) at the discretion of the Board annually during the Term, and, if adjusted, such adjusted amount shall become the “Share Salary” for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Discretionary Shares. The Company may (as determined by the Board, or a committee thereof designated to make such determination, in its sole discretion) grant to Executive, at the end of each calendar year, including the Stub Period, an additional amount the Fair Market Value of which is equal to up to one-third (1/3) of Executive’s

3

annual compensation for such year, in restricted shares of Common Stock, with the Fair Market Value of such shares determined on the date of grant; provided, however, that no such             shares shall be granted unless Executive remains employed by the Company, without notice of termination of his employment or this Agreement by either Party for any reason, through the date on which any such grant is due to be made. For purposes of this Section 1.05(c), “annual compensation” shall have the meaning as set forth in the Interim Final Rule, as may be amended from time to time, including pursuant to any final rule. The “Interim Final Rule” shall mean the interim final rule promulgated pursuant to section 101(a)(1), 101(c)(5) and 111 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which was published by the Department of the Treasury on June 15, 2009. Any such granted restricted shares shall vest (as determined by the Board, or a committee thereof designated to make such determination, in its sole discretion) in accordance with performance goals (which performance goals shall be determined by the Board or such committee after consultation with the Executive and shall be reasonably achievable without excessive risk taking in the context of the Company’s business plan approved by the Board or such committee after consultation with the Executive) and continued substantial service by Executive as set forth in the grant agreement evidencing each such award and, until the Company is no longer subject to the Troubled Asset Relief Program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, including the Interim Final Rule and any other rules and regulations thereunder, as amended (the “TARP Requirements”), shall be subject to all applicable TARP restrictions, including, without limitation, a minimum two (2) year vesting requirement from the date of grant as set forth in the Interim Final Rule, as may be amended from time to time, including pursuant to any final rule.

(d) Business Expenses. The Company shall promptly pay directly, or shall reimburse Executive for, all business expenses, including but not limited to expenses for travel and entertainment, paid or incurred by Executive during the Term that are reasonable and appropriate to the conduct by Executive of the Company’s business, subject to Executive’s providing reasonable substantiation of such expenses to the Company in accordance with Company policies. In addition, the Company shall promptly pay all reasonable expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement, the Exhibit hereto and related matters.

     1.06 Fringe and Other Benefits.

          During the Term, the Company shall make available to Executive such fringe and other benefits and perquisites as are regularly and generally provided to the other senior executives of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of any employee benefit plans and arrangements maintained by the Company and all applicable TARP Requirements, including, without limitation, the restriction on tax gross-up payments.

     1.07 Termination of Employment.

(a) Payments Upon Termination.

For so long as the Company is subject to the TARP Requirements, any such agreement or release shall be subject to the TARP Requirements.

The Company shall use all reasonable diligence to remove the force majeure event as quickly as reasonably possible. The requirement that any force majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable diligence shall not require the settlement of strikes, lockouts or other labor difficulty suffered, but resolution of all such difficulties shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party concerned.

any particular time developing or marketing the same. The Executive acknowledges that the Confidential Information is a valuable, special and unique asset of the Company and that his access to and knowledge of the Confidential Information is essential to the performance of his duties as an employee of the Company. In light of the competitive nature of the business in which the Company is engaged, Executive agrees that he will, both during the Term and thereafter, maintain the strict confidentiality of all Confidential Information known or obtained by him or to which he has access in connection with his employment by the Company and that he will not, without prior written consent of the Board for and on behalf of the Company, (i) disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity (other than in proper performance of his duties hereunder) or (ii) make any use of any Confidential Information for his own purposes or for direct or indirect benefit of any person or entity other than the Company. Confidential Information shall not be deemed to include (a) information which becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the Executive, (b) information which is previously known by the Executive prior to his receipt of such information from the Company, (c) information which becomes available to the Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source which, to the Executive’s knowledge, is not prohibited from disclosing such information by legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to the Company or (d) information which is required to be disclosed in order to comply with any applicable law or court order. Immediately upon termination of the Executive’s employment or at any other time upon the Company’s request, the Executive will return to the Company all memoranda, notes and data, computer software and hardware, records or other documents compiled by the Executive or made available to the Executive during the Executive’s employment with the Company concerning the Business of the Company, including without limitation, all files, records, documents, lists, equipment, supplies, promotional materials, keys, phone or credit cards and similar items and all copies thereof or extracts therefrom.

     2.02 No Solicitation of Employees.

          Executive agrees that, both during the Term and for a period of one year following termination by the Executive of his employment with the Company other than for Good Reason or any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, on behalf of himself or any other person or entity, hire, engage or solicit to hire for employment or consulting or other provision of services, any person who is actively employed (or in the six months preceding Executive’s termination of employment with the Company was actively employed) by the Company, except for rehire by the Company. This includes, but is not limited to, inducing or attempting to induce, or influence or attempting to influence, any person employed by the Company to terminate his or her employment with the Company.

     2.03 No Solicitation of Customers.

          Executive agrees that, both during the Term and for a period of one year following termination by the Executive of his employment with the Company other than for Good Reason or any termination of Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive will not directly, on behalf of any competitor of the Company in the Business of the Company, solicit the business of any entity within the United States who is a customer of the Company.

7

     2.04 Non-Disparagement.

          Executive agrees that, during the Term and thereafter, Executive will not intentionally make any disparaging or detrimental public comments about the Company, any of its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agents nor will Executive authorize, encourage or participate with anyone on Executive’s behalf to make such statements. In consideration of the foregoing, the Company will instruct its directors and senior officers not intentionally to make any disparaging or detrimental public comments about Executive during the Term or thereafter. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall preclude either party from fulfilling any duty or obligation that he or it may have at law, from responding to any subpoena or official inquiry from any court or government agency, including providing truthful testimony, documents subpoenaed or requested or otherwise cooperating in good faith with any proceeding or investigation, or, in the case of Executive, from taking any reasonable actions to enforce his rights under this Agreement.

     2.05 Enforcement.

          Executive acknowledges and agrees that the services to be provided by him under this Agreement are of a special, unique and extraordinary nature. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Article Two are necessary to prevent the use and disclosure of Confidential Information and to protect other legitimate business interests of the Company. Executive acknowledges that all of the restrictions in this Article Two are reasonable in all respects, including duration, territory and scope of activity. In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines as a matter of law that any of the terms of this Article Two are unreasonable or overbroad, the Parties expressly allow such court to reform this Agreement to the extent necessary to make it reasonable as a matter of law and to enforce it as so reformed. The Executive agrees that the restrictions contained in this Article Two shall be construed as separate agreements independent of any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between Executive and the Company. Executive agrees that the existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive against the Company (whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise) shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and restrictions in this Article Two. Executive agrees that the restrictive covenants contained in this Article Two are a material part of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement for which the Company has agreed to compensate Executive and provide him with Confidential Information as provided in this Agreement. Executive agrees that the injury the Company will suffer in the event of the breach by Executive of any clause of this Article Two will cause the Company irreparable injury that cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone. Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company, without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies available to it, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief by injunction or otherwise from any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, injunctive relief to prevent Executive’s failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Article Two. The restricted periods referenced in Article Two shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for each day during which Executive violates the provisions of any respective provision hereof in any material respect, so that Executive is restricted from engaging in the activities prohibited by Article Two for the full periods specified therein, as applicable.

8

     2.06 Intangible Property.

          Executive will not at any time during or after the Term have or claim any right, title or interest in any trade name, trademark, patent, copyright, work for hire or other similar rights belonging to or used by the Company and shall not have or claim any right, title or interest in any material or matter of any sort prepared for or used in connection with the business or promotion of the Company, whatever Executive’s involvement with such matters may have been, and whether procured, produced, prepared, or published in whole or in part by Executive, it being the intention of the Parties that Executive shall and hereby does recognize that the Company now has and shall hereafter have and retain the sole and exclusive rights in any and all such trade names, trademarks, patents, copyrights (all Executive’s work in this regard being a work for hire for the Company under the copyright laws of the United States), material and matter as described above. If any such work created by Executive is not a work made for hire under the copyright laws of the United States, then Executive hereby assigns to the Company all right, title and interest in each such work (including without limitation all copyright rights). Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company, at the cost and expense of the Company, during his employment and thereafter in the securing of trade name, trademark, patent or copyright protection or other similar rights in the United States and in foreign countries and shall give evidence and testimony and execute and deliver to the Company all papers reasonably requested by it in connection therewith.

     2.07 Good Reason.

          For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, in the absence of the written consent of Executive:

     (i) the failure of the Executive to continue to report directly to the CEO;

     (ii) the assignment to Executive of duties materially inconsistent with the Executive’s titles, positions, status, reporting relationships, authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 1.04, or any other action by the Company which results in a diminution in the Executive’s titles, positions, status, reporting relationships, authority, duties or responsibilities from his most senior titles, positions, status, reporting relationships, authority, duties or responsibilities existing during the Term, other than insubstantial or inadvertent actions not taken in bad faith which are remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive;

     (iii) any failure by the Company to make the payments and/or provide the benefits to Executive contemplated in, or any other failure to comply with any of the provisions of, Sections 1.05 or 1.06 (whether or not the reason for any such failure is based on the TARP Requirements or other applicable law), other than insubstantial or inadvertent failures not in bad faith which are remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive;

9

     (iv) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 3.02; or

     (v) any material failure by the Company to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement (including Exhibit A).

Anything notwithstanding to the contrary, Executive may only terminate his employment for “Good Reason” upon 30 days’ written notice to the Company given within 60 days after Executive has knowledge of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to Good Reason (provided the Company does not remedy or otherwise cure the event or events giving rise to Good Reason prior to the expiration of such 30-day notice period).

     2.08 Cause.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean that the Executive:

     (i) willfully fails or refuses to substantially perform the Executive’s responsibilities under this Agreement, after demand for substantial performance has been given by the Board that specifically identifies how the Executive has failed to perform such responsibilities;

     (ii) engages in gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company;

     (iii) is convicted of a felony or pleads guilty or nolo contendere to a felony;

     (iv) materially breaches Article Two of this Agreement;

     (v) engages in any act of fraud (including misappropriation of the Company’s funds or property) in connection with the Business of the Company which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company; or

     (vi) is disqualified or barred by any governmental or self-regulatory authority from serving in the capacity contemplated by this Agreement.

The termination of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than 66% of the entire membership of the Board (excluding the Executive) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. For purposes of this Agreement, no act or omission on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done or omitted in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the act or omission was in the best interests

10

of the Company. Any act or omission based upon a resolution duly adopted by the Board or upon advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

     2.09 Survival.

          Any termination of the Executive’s employment or of this Agreement (or breach of this Agreement by the Executive or the Company) shall have no effect on the continuing operation of this Article Two.

ARTICLE THREE

MISCELLANEOUS

     3.01 Entire Agreement.

          This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof. No modification, amendment, termination or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by Executive and duly authorized officer(s) of the Company. Failure of the Company or Executive to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a continuing waiver of such or other terms, covenants and conditions.

     3.02 Successors and Assigns.

          This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Executive and the heirs, executors, assigns and administrators of Executive or his estate and property and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns (as provided below). Executive may not assign or transfer to others the obligation to perform Executive’s duties hereunder, and there are no third party beneficiaries to Executive’s rights hereunder. The Company may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid.

     3.03 Indemnification and Directors and Officers Liability Insurance.

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law and the Corporate Documents, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify Executive from and against all loss, costs, damages and expenses including, without limitation, legal expenses of counsel (which expenses the Company will, to the extent so permitted, advance to Executive as the same are incurred) arising out of or in connection with the fact that Executive is or was an officer, employee or agent of the Company and/or its Affiliates. However, the Executive shall

11

repay any expenses paid or reimbursed by the Company if it is ultimately determined that he is not legally entitled to be indemnified by the Company. If the Company’s ability to make any payment contemplated by this Section 3.03 depends on an investigation or determination by the Board, at the Executive’s request the Company will use its best efforts to cause the investigation to be made (at the Company’s expense) and to have the Board reach a determination as soon as reasonably possible.

(b) A directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or policies) shall be kept in place, during the Term and thereafter until the later of (i) the sixth anniversary of the date on which Executive’s employment with the Company terminates and (ii) the date on which all claims against Executive that would otherwise be covered by the policy (or policies) would become fully time barred, providing coverage to Executive that is no less favorable to him in any respect (including, without limitation, with respect to scope, exclusions, amounts and deductibles) than the coverage then being provided to any other present or former senior executive or director of the Company.

     3.04 Insurance.

          If the Company desires at any time or from time to time during the Term to apply in its own name or otherwise for life, health, accident or other insurance covering Executive, the Company may do so and may take out such insurance for any sum which the Company may deem necessary to protect its interests. Executive will have no right, title or interest in or to such insurance, but will, nevertheless, assist the Company in procuring and maintaining the same by submitting from time to time to the usual customary medical, physical, and other examinations and by signing such applications, statements and other instruments as may reasonably be required by the insurance company or companies issuing such policies.

     3.05 Notices.

     Notices hereunder shall be deemed delivered upon the confirmation of delivery of a facsimile or of actual receipt by the addressee and shall be sent as follows (or if receipt is acknowledged by the recipient, by email):

Performance of Executive’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which Executive may have against the Company or others.

     3.10 Severability.

          To the extent any provision of this Agreement or portion hereof shall be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted herefrom and the remainder of such provision and of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall continue in full force and effect and the Parties agree to meet promptly to negotiate in good faith a substitute enforceable provision which preserves to the greatest extent possible the benefits (economic and other) intended to be conferred on the Parties under this Agreement.

     3.12 Golden Parachute Payment.

          If any payment or benefit to the Executive under this Agreement or otherwise would be a Golden Parachute Payment that is prohibited by applicable law, then the total payments and benefits will be reduced to the Golden Parachute Limit. For purposes of this Section 3.12, “Golden Parachute Payment” means a golden parachute payment within the meaning of Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and “Golden Parachute Limit” means the greatest amount of payments and benefits that could be made to the Executive without having any payment or benefit be a Golden Parachute Payment.

ARTICLE FOUR

TAXATION AND TARP

     4.01 Taxation.

          The Parties believe that the provisions of this Agreement are in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), as presently in effect, if and to the extent that such requirements apply. In the event that any of the payment obligations hereunder will be considered by the Internal Revenue Service to be not in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A, the Parties will cooperate in good faith to endeavor to meet these requirements in a manner which preserves to the greatest extent possible the economic benefits intended to be conferred on the Executive under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, only to the extent that any payment or benefit paid or provided to the Executive under this Agreement or otherwise (including, but not limited to, the Supplemental Retirement Benefit) is subject to the requirements of Section 409A and is not exempted from such requirements, if at the time of Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, he is a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, no payment or benefit that results from his termination of employment shall be provided until the date which is six months after the date of his termination of employment (or, if earlier, his date of death). Payments to which Executive would otherwise be

14

entitled during the six-month period described above shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month after the date of his termination of employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent required by Section 409A: (a) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or to be provided as an in-kind benefit under this Agreement during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or to be provided as an in-kind benefit in any other calendar year; (b) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits under this Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and (c) no reimbursement under this Agreement shall be made later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred. The Parties acknowledge and agree all payments under this Agreement are subject to withholding under applicable law and payments hereunder will be made net of withholding, if any.

     4.02 TARP and Other Applicable Law

          The Parties believe that the provisions of this Agreement are in compliance with the TARP Requirements and other applicable law, as presently in effect, if and to the extent that such requirements apply. For so long as the Company is subject to the TARP Requirements, the provisions of this Agreement are subject to and shall be, to the fullest extent possible, interpreted to be consistent with the TARP Requirements, which terms control over the terms of this Agreement in the event of any conflict between the TARP Requirements and this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any payment, award or benefit under this Agreement vest or be settled, paid or accrued, if any such vesting, settlement, payment or accrual would be in violation of the TARP Requirements or other applicable law. In the event of any such violation, the Parties will cooperate in good faith to endeavor to meet the TARP Requirements and other applicable law in a manner which preserves to the greatest extent possible the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
