As Chief Financial Officer, the Executive will report directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer. During the period provided for in this Agreement, the Executive also agrees to serve, if elected, as an officer, director or trustee of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank and in such capacity to carry out the duties and responsibilities reasonably appropriate to any such position.

(c)       Service on Other Boards and Committees. The Bank encourages participation by the Executive on community boards and committees and in activities generally considered to be in the public interest, but the Board of Directors shall have the right to approve or disapprove, in its sole discretion, the Executive’s participation on those boards and committees.

2. TERM.

(a)Term and Annual Renewal. The initial term of this Agreement will begin as of the Effective Date and continue for a period of one (1) year (the “Term”). Commencing on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and continuing on each subsequent anniversary of the Effective Date (each anniversary referred to as a “Renewal Date”), the Term will extend automatically for one additional year, so that the Term will be one (1) year from the applicable Renewal Date, unless either the Bank or the Executive, by written notice to the other given at least thirty (30) days prior to the Renewal Date, notifies the other of its intent not to extend the Term. In the event either party provides notice not to extend the Term, the Term will become fixed and terminate as of the last day of the then current Term.

At least thirty (30) days prior to a Renewal Date, the disinterested members of the Board of Directors will conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation and review of the Executive for purposes of determining whether to take action regarding non-renewal of the Agreement, and the results thereof will be included in the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors.

(c)       Benefit Plans.

All reimbursements will be made as soon as practicable upon substantiation of the expenses by the Executive in accordance with the applicable policies and procedures of the Bank and, in any event, not later than the last day of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Executive incurred the expense.

(ii) “Good Reason” exists if, without the Executive’s express written consent, any of the following occur:

(A) a material reduction in the Executive’s Base Salary and/or aggregate incentive compensation opportunities under the Bank’s annual and long-term incentive plans or programs, as applicable;

The Release must be executed and become irrevocable by the 60^th day following the Date of Termination, provided that if the 60-day period spans two (2) calendar years, then, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), the payments and benefits described in this Section 4(f) will be paid, or commence, in the second calendar year.

(g)       Effect on Status as a Director. In the event of the Executive’s termination of employment under this Agreement for any reason, unless otherwise agreed to by the mutual consent of the Executive and the Board of Directors, the termination will also constitute the Executive’s resignation as a director of the Bank and the Company, as well as a director of any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, to the extent the Executive is acting as a director of any of the aforementioned entities.

(h)       Notice; Effective Date of Termination. Any Notice of Termination of employment under this Agreement must be communicated by or to the Executive or the Bank, as applicable, in accordance with Section 17. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Date of Termination” means the Executive’s termination of employment pursuant to this Agreement, which will be effective on the earliest of: (i) immediately after the Bank gives notice to the Executive of the Executive’s termination Without Cause, unless the parties agree to a later date, in which case, termination will be effective as of such later date; (ii) immediately upon approval by the Board of Directors of termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause; (iii) immediately upon the Executive’s death or Disability; (iv) thirty (30) days after the Executive gives written notice to the Bank of the Executive’s resignation from employment (including With Good Reason), provided that the Bank may set an earlier termination date at any time prior to the date of termination of employment, in which case the Executive’s resignation shall be effective as of that date; or (v) in the event of the Executive’s termination With Good Reason due to a material reduction in Base Salary, the date on which the Executive provides Notice of Termination in accordance with Section 4(f)(i).

(b)       No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of the term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically waived.

11. certain Applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)       The Bank may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, but any termination by the Bank other than termination for Cause shall not prejudice the Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. The Executive shall have no right to receive compensation or other benefits under this Agreement for any period after the Executive’s termination for Cause, other than the Accrued Obligations.

10

(b)       In no event shall the Bank (nor any affiliate) be obligated to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement that is prohibited by Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (codified at 12 U.S.C. sec. 1828(k)), 12 C.F.R. Part 359, or any other applicable law.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that a payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that the payment or benefit is payable upon the Executive’s termination of employment, then the payments or benefits will be payable only upon the Executive’s “Separation from Service.” For purposes of this Agreement, a “Separation from Service” will have occurred if the Bank and the Executive reasonably anticipate that either no further services will be performed by the Executive after the Date of Termination (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) or the level of further services performed is less than fifty (50) percent of the average level of bona fide services in the thirty-six (36) months immediately preceding the termination. For all purposes hereunder, the definition of Separation from Service shall be interpreted consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)(ii).

(d)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive is a “Specified Employee” (i.e., a “key employee” of a publicly traded company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder) and any payment under this Agreement is triggered due to the Executive’s Separation from Service, then solely to the extent necessary to avoid penalties under Section 409A of the Code, no payment will be made during the first six (6) months following the Executive’s Separation from Service. Rather, any payment which would otherwise be paid to the Executive during such period shall be accumulated and paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Separation from Service. All subsequent payments shall be paid in the manner specified in this Agreement.

(e)       To the extent not specifically provided in this Agreement, any compensation or reimbursements payable to Executive shall be paid or provided no later than two and one-half (2.5) months after the calendar year in which such compensation is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(d).

(f)        Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).

(g)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement limits the Executive’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”) about a possible securities law violation without approval of the Bank (or any affiliate). The Executive further understands that this Agreement does not limit the Executive’s ability to communicate with any Government Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Bank (or any affiliate) related to the possible securities law violation. This Agreement does not limit the Executive’s right to receive any resulting monetary award for information provided to any Government Agency. In addition, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Executive understands that an individual may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.  Further, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the employer's trade secrets to the attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if the individual (y) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (z) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

15. INDEMNIFICATION.

The Bank will provide the Executive (including the Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators) with coverage under a standard directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy at its expense, and will indemnify the Executive (and the Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators) in accordance with the charter and bylaws of the Bank and to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding in which the Executive may be involved by reason of having been a trustee, director or officer of the Bank or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank.

16. TAX Withholding.
