FIRST KEYSTONE FINANCIAL, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT
 
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), between First Keystone Financial, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a Pennsylvania corporation, and Carol Walsh (the “Executive”), is hereby amended and restated effective as of December 1, 2008, provided that the effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon the non-objection of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) as set forth below.
 
WHEREAS, the Executive is presently an officer and Corporate Secretary of the Corporation and First Keystone Bank (the “Savings Bank”) (together, the “Employers”), pursuant to an employment agreement between the Corporation and the Executive originally dated as of December 1, 2004 (the “Prior Agreement”);
 
WHEREAS, the Corporation entered into a Supervisory Agreement with the OTS dated as of February 13, 2006 (the “Supervisory Agreement”), which generally precludes the Corporation from making or agreeing to make any “golden parachute payments” as defined in 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. Part 359, except as may be permitted by the OTS and the preceding statutory authority;
 
WHEREAS, the Corporation previously authorized a renewal of the Prior Agreement subject to and conditioned upon the receipt of non-objection from the OTS, which non-objection has been requested;
 
WHEREAS, the Corporation wishes to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in order to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with this Agreement to supersede the Prior Agreement in its entirety, subject to and conditioned upon the receipt of non-objection from the OTS in accordance with the Supervisory Agreement;
 
WHEREAS, the Employers desire to assure themselves of the continued availability of the Executive’s services as provided in this Agreement; and
 
WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to serve the Employers on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
 
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:
 
1.           Definitions.  The following words and terms shall have the meanings set forth below for the purposes of this Agreement:
 
(a)          Annual Compensation. The Executive’s “Annual Compensation” for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to mean the highest level of base salary paid to the Executive by the Corporation during any of the three calendar years ending immediately prior to the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs.
 
 
 

 
(b)           Cause. Termination of the Executive’s employment for “Cause” shall mean termination because of personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order.
 
(c)           Change in Control.  “Change in Control” shall mean a change in the ownership of the Corporation or the Savings Bank, a change in the effective control of the Corporation or the Savings Bank or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation or the Savings Bank, in each case as provided under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
 
(d)           Code.  Code shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
 
(e)           Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause, the date on which the Notice of Termination is given, and (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in such Notice of Termination.
 
(f)            Disability. “Disability” shall mean the Executive (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Savings Bank.
 
(g)           Good Reason.  “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
 
(i) any material breach of this Agreement by the Corporation, including without limitation any of the following: (A) a material diminution in the Executive’s base compensation, (B) a material diminution in the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities, or (C) a material diminution in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom the Executive is required to report, or
 
(ii) any material change in the geographic location at which the Executive must perform her services under this Agreement;
 
provided, however, that prior to any termination of employment for Good Reason, the Executive must first provide written notice to the Corporation within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the condition, describing the existence of such condition, and the Corporation shall thereafter have the right to remedy the condition within thirty (30) days of the date the Corporation received the written notice from the Executive.  If the Corporation remedies the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then no Good Reason shall be deemed to exist with respect to such condition.  If the Corporation does not remedy the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then the Executive may deliver a Notice of Termination for Good Reason at any time within sixty (60) days following the expiration of such cure period.
 
 
2

 
(h)           Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of the Executive’s employment by the Corporation for any reason, including without limitation for Cause, Disability or Retirement, or by the Executive for any reason, including without limitation for Good Reason, shall be communicated by a written “Notice of Termination” to the other party hereto.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, (iii) specifies a Date of Termination, which shall be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days after such Notice of Termination is given, except any termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause shall be effective immediately, and (iv) is given in the manner specified in Section 7 hereof.
 
(i)           Retirement.  “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination by the Executive in accordance with the Employers’ retirement policies, including early retirement, generally applicable to their salaried employees.
 
2.           Benefits Upon Termination. If the Executive’s employment by the Corporation shall be terminated subsequent to a Change in Control by (i) the Corporation other than for Cause, Retirement or as a result of the Executive’s death or Disability, or (ii) the Executive for Good Reason, then the Corporation or the Savings Bank shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2(d) and 3 hereof, as applicable:
 
(a)           pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination, a cash severance amount equal to two (2) times the Executive’s Annual Compensation;
 
(b)           maintain and provide for a period ending at the earlier of (i) two (2) years after the Date of Termination or (ii) the date of the Executive’s full-time employment by another employer (provided that the Executive is entitled under the terms of such employment to benefits substantially similar to those described in this subparagraph (b)), at no cost to the Executive, the Executive’s continued participation in all group insurance, life insurance, health and accident insurance and disability insurance in which the Executive was participating immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided that any insurance premiums payable by the Corporation or any successors pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be payable at such times and in such amounts (except that the Corporation shall also pay any employee portion of the premiums) as if the Executive was still an employee of the Corporation, subject to any increases in such amounts imposed by the insurance company or COBRA, and the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by the Corporation in any taxable year shall not affect the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by the Corporation in any other taxable year; and provided further that if the Executive’s participation in any group insurance plan is barred, the Corporation shall either arrange to provide the Executive with insurance benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive was entitled to receive under such group insurance plan or, if such coverage cannot be obtained, pay a lump sum cash equivalency amount within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination based on the annualized rate of premiums being paid by the Corporation as of the Date of Termination; and
 
 
3

 
(c)           pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination, a cash amount equal to the projected cost to the Corporation of providing benefits to the Executive for a period of twenty-four (24) months pursuant to any other employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements offered by the Corporation in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (other than retirement plans or stock compensation plans of the Corporation), with the projected cost to the Corporation to be based on the costs incurred for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs.
 
(d)     Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) hereof, in the event the Executive’s employment is terminated subsequent to a Change in Control by (i) the Corporation other than for Cause, Retirement or as a result of the Executive’s death or (ii) the Executive for Good Reason and at the time of such termination (A) either of the supervisory agreements entered into by each of the Corporation and the Savings Bank with the OTS as of February 13, 2006 are still in effect or (B) either the Corporation or the Savings Bank are deemed to be in “troubled condition” as defined in 12 C.F.R. §563.555 (or any successor thereto) unless, with respect to clause (A) and/or (B), as applicable, prior to or in connection with the Executive’s termination subsequent to the Change in Control, the OTS, and, to the extent required, the FDIC, has approved or not objected to the payment of the severance and the provision of benefits as provided by Sections 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c), respectively, pursuant to the provisions of 12 C.F.R. Part 359, then the Employers, instead of providing Executive the benefits set forth in Sections 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c), shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, if applicable:
 
(I)           pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination, a cash severance amount equal to one (1) times the Executive’s Annual Compensation;
 
(II)           maintain and provide for a period ending at the earlier of (i) one (1) year after the Date of Termination or (ii) the date of the Executive’s full-time employment by another employer (provided that the Executive is entitled under the terms of such employment to benefits substantially similar to those described in this subparagraph (b)), at no cost to the Executive, the Executive’s continued participation in all group insurance, life insurance, health and accident insurance and disability insurance in which the Executive was participating immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided that any insurance premiums payable by the Corporation or any successors pursuant to this Section 2(d)(II) shall be payable at such times and in such amounts (except that the Corporation shall also pay any employee portion of the premiums) as if the Executive was still an employee of the Corporation, subject to any increases in such amounts imposed by the insurance company or COBRA, and the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by the Corporation in any taxable year shall not affect the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by the Corporation in any other taxable year; and provided further that if the Executive’s participation in any group insurance plan is barred, the Corporation shall either arrange to provide the Executive with insurance benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive was entitled to receive under such group insurance plan or, if such coverage cannot be obtained, pay a lump sum cash equivalency amount within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination based on the annualized rate of premiums being paid by the Corporation as of the Date of Termination; and
 
 
4

 
(III)           pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination, a cash amount equal to the projected cost to the Corporation of providing benefits to the Executive for a period of twelve (12) months pursuant to any other employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements offered by the Corporation in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (other than retirement plans or stock compensation plans of the Corporation), with the projected cost to the Corporation to be based on the costs incurred for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs.
 
3.           Payment of Additional Benefits under Certain Circumstances.
 
 (a)           If the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 2 hereof, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Employers (including, without limitation, the payments and benefits which the Executive would have the right to receive from the Savings Bank pursuant to Section 2 of the Agreement between the Savings Bank and the Executive dated as of the date hereof (the “Savings Bank Agreement”), before giving effect to any reduction in such amounts pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 of the Savings Bank Agreement), would constitute a “parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (the “Initial Parachute Payment,” which includes the amounts paid pursuant to clause (A) below), then the Corporation shall pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination, a cash amount equal to the sum of the following:
 
(A)           the amount by which the payments and benefits that would have otherwise been paid by the Savings Bank to the Executive pursuant to Section 2 of the Savings Bank Agreement are reduced by the provisions of Section 3 of the Savings Bank Agreement;
 
(B)           twenty (20) percent (or such other percentage equal to the tax rate imposed by Section 4999 of the Code) of the amount by which the Initial Parachute Payment exceeds the Executive’s “base amount” from the Employers, as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, with the difference between the Initial Parachute Payment and the Executive’s base amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Excess Parachute Payment”; and
 
(C)           such additional amount (tax allowance) as may be necessary to compensate the Executive for the payment by the Executive of federal, state and local income and excise taxes on the payment provided under clause (B) above and on any payments under this clause (C).  In computing such tax allowance, the payment to be made under clause (B) above shall be multiplied by the “gross up percentage” (“GUP”).  The GUP shall be determined as follows:
 
 
5

 
GUP =    Tax Rate
1 – Tax Rate
 
The Tax Rate for purposes of computing the GUP shall be the highest marginal federal, state and local income and employment-related tax rate (including Social Security and Medicare taxes), including any applicable excise tax rate, applicable to the Executive in the year in which the payment under clause (B) above is made and shall also reflect the phase out of deductions and the ability to deduct certain of such taxes.
 
(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it shall subsequently be determined in a final judicial determination or a final administrative settlement to which the Executive is a party that the actual excess parachute payment as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code is different from the Initial Excess Parachute Payment (such different amount being hereafter referred to as the “Final Excess Parachute Payment”), then the Corporation’s independent tax counsel shall determine the amount (the “Adjustment Amount”) which either the Executive must pay to the Corporation or the Corporation must pay to the Executive in order to put the Executive (or the Corporation, as the case may be) in the same position the Executive (or the Corporation, as the case may be) would have been if the Initial Excess Parachute Payment had been equal to the Final Excess Parachute Payment.  In determining the Adjustment Amount, the independent tax counsel shall take into account any and all taxes (including any penalties and interest) paid by or for the Executive or refunded to the Executive or for the Executive’s benefit.  As soon as practicable after the Adjustment Amount has been so determined, and in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Adjustment Amount has been determined, the Corporation shall pay the Adjustment Amount to the Executive or the Executive shall repay the Adjustment Amount to the Corporation, as the case may be.
 
(c)           In each calendar year that the Executive receives payments of benefits under this Section 3, the Executive shall report on her federal, state and local income tax returns such information as is consistent with the determination made by the independent tax counsel of the Corporation as described above.  The Corporation shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless from any and all losses, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, interest, fines and penalties) which the Executive incurs as a result of so reporting such information.  The Executive shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing whenever the Executive receives notice of the institution of a judicial or administrative proceeding, formal or informal, in which the federal tax treatment under Section 4999 of the Code of any amount paid or payable under this Section 3 is being reviewed or is in dispute.  The Corporation shall assume control at its expense over all legal and accounting matters pertaining to such federal tax treatment (except to the extent necessary or appropriate for the Executive to resolve any such proceeding with respect to any matter unrelated to amounts paid or payable pursuant to this Section 3), and the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Corporation in any such proceeding.  The Executive shall not enter into any compromise or settlement or otherwise prejudice any rights the Corporation may have in connection therewith without the prior consent of the Corporation.
 
 
6

 
(d)           Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, for as long as required by the Supervisory Agreement, if the Supervisory Agreement is still in effect as of the date of such termination, or if the Corporation is deemed “troubled” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. §563.555, the Corporation shall not make or agree to make any “golden parachute payments” (as such term is defined in 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. Part 359) pursuant to this Section 3 prior to such time as the Corporation has complied in all respects with the restrictions concerning the making of such payments that apply to the Corporation as set forth in 12 C.F.R. Part 359, and has received all required regulatory approvals or non-objections to make such payments.
 
 
4.
Mitigation; Exclusivity of Benefits.
 
(a)           The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any benefits hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any such benefits be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination or otherwise, except as set forth in Section 2(b) above.
 
(b)           The specific arrangements referred to herein are not intended to exclude any other benefits which may be available to the Executive upon a termination of employment with the Employers pursuant to employee benefit plans of the Employers or otherwise.
 
5.            Withholding.  All payments required to be made by the Corporation hereunder to the Executive shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Corporation may reasonably determine should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
 
6.            Assignability. The Corporation may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any corporation, bank or other entity with or into which the Corporation may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Corporation may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said corporation, bank or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Corporation hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder.  The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder.
 
7.           Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth below:

8.           Amendment; Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and such officer or officers as may be specifically designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation to sign on its behalf.  No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by any other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.  In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation may amend in good faith any terms of this Agreement, including retroactively, in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

10.
Nature of Employment and Obligations.
 
(a)        Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create other than a terminable at will employment relationship between the Corporation and the Executive, and the Corporation may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, subject to providing any payments specified herein in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
(b)        Nothing contained herein shall create or require the Corporation to create a trust of any kind to fund any benefits which may be payable hereunder, and to the extent that the Executive acquires a right to receive benefits from the Corporation hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Corporation.
 
11.       Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate two (2) years after the date first written above.  Subject to the last sentence of this Section 11, on or prior to the first annual anniversary of the date first written above and each annual anniversary thereafter, the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall consider (with appropriate corporate documentation thereof, and after taking into account all relevant factors, including the Executive’s performance as an employee) renewal of the term of this Agreement for an additional one (1) year, and the term of this Agreement shall be so extended unless the Board of Directors of the Corporation does not approve such renewal and provides written notice to the Executive, or the Executive gives written notice to the Corporation, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of any such anniversary, of such party’s election not to extend the term beyond its then scheduled expiration date; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement shall be automatically extended for an additional one (1) year upon a Change in Control.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as long as the Corporation remains subject to the Supervisory Agreement or is deemed “troubled” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. §563.555 and for as long as required by the Supervisory Agreement, any renewal of this Agreement shall be subject to and conditioned upon the written approval or non-objection of the OTS and, if applicable, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
 
8

Exhibit 10.2
 
FIRST KEYSTONE BANK
AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT
 
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), between First Keystone Bank (the “Savings Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank, and Carol Walsh (the “Executive”), is hereby amended and restated effective as of December 1, 2008, provided that the effectiveness of this Agreement is subject to and conditioned upon the non-objection of the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) as set forth below.
 
WHEREAS, the Executive is presently an officer and Corporate Secretary of First Keystone Financial, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and the Savings Bank (together, the “Employers”), pursuant to an employment agreement between the Savings Bank and the Executive originally dated as of December 1, 2004 (the “Prior Agreement”);
 
WHEREAS, the Savings Bank entered into a Supervisory Agreement with the OTS dated as of February 13, 2006 (the “Supervisory Agreement”), which generally precludes the Savings Bank from (i) entering into, renewing, extending or revising any arrangement related to compensation or benefits of any director or senior executive officer of the Savings Bank unless the Savings Bank first: (A) provides a minimum of 30 days’ advance written notice of the proposed transaction to the OTS, and (B) receives a written notice of non-objection from the OTS; and (ii) making or agreeing to make any “golden parachute payments” as defined in 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. Part 359, except as may be permitted by the OTS and the preceding statutory authority;
 
WHEREAS, the Savings Bank previously authorized a renewal of the Prior Agreement subject to and conditioned upon the receipt of non-objection from the OTS, which non-objection has been requested;
 
WHEREAS, the Savings Bank wishes to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in order to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with this Agreement to supersede the Prior Agreement in its entirety, subject to and conditioned upon the receipt of non-objection from the OTS in accordance with the Supervisory Agreement;
 
WHEREAS, the Employers desire to assure themselves of the continued availability of the Executive’s services as provided in this Agreement; and
 
WHEREAS, the Executive is willing to serve the Employers on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
 
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:
 
1.           Definitions.  The following words and terms shall have the meanings set forth below for the purposes of this Agreement:
 
 
 

 
(a)           Annual Compensation. The Executive’s “Annual Compensation” for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to mean the highest level of base salary paid to the Executive by the Savings Bank or any subsidiary thereof during any of the three calendar years ending immediately prior to the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs.
 
(b)           Cause. Termination of the Executive’s employment for “Cause” shall mean termination because of personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order.
 
(c)           Change in Control.  “Change in Control” shall mean a change in the ownership of the Corporation or the Savings Bank, a change in the effective control of the Corporation or the Savings Bank or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation or the Savings Bank, in each case as provided under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

(e)           Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause, the date on which the Notice of Termination is given, and (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date specified in such Notice of Termination.
 
(f)           Disability. “Disability” shall mean the Executive (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Savings Bank.
 
(g)           Good Reason.  “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
 
(i)           any material breach of this Agreement by the Savings Bank, including without limitation any of the following: (A) a material diminution in the Executive’s base compensation, (B) a material diminution in the Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities, or (C) a material diminution in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the supervisor to whom the Executive is required to report, or

2

 
provided, however, that prior to any termination of employment for Good Reason, the Executive must first provide written notice to the Savings Bank within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the condition, describing the existence of such condition, and the Savings Bank shall thereafter have the right to remedy the condition within thirty (30) days of the date the Savings Bank received the written notice from the Executive.  If the Savings Bank remedies the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then no Good Reason shall be deemed to exist with respect to such condition.  If the Savings Bank does not remedy the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then the Executive may deliver a Notice of Termination for Good Reason at any time within sixty (60) days following the expiration of such cure period.
 
(i)           Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of the Executive’s employment by the Savings Bank for any reason, including without limitation for Cause, Disability or Retirement, or by the Executive for any reason, including without limitation for Good Reason, shall be communicated by a written “Notice of Termination” to the other party hereto.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, (iii) specifies a Date of Termination, which shall be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days after such Notice of Termination is given, except any termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause shall be effective immediately, and (iv) is given in the manner specified in Section 7 hereof.
 
(j)           Retirement.  “Retirement” shall mean voluntary termination by the Executive in accordance with the Employers’ retirement policies, including early retirement, generally applicable to their salaried employees.
 
2.           Benefits Upon Termination. If the Executive’s employment by the Savings Bank shall be terminated subsequent to a Change in Control by (i) the Savings Bank other than for Cause, Retirement or as a result of the Executive’s death or Disability, or (ii) the Executive for Good Reason, then the Corporation or the Savings Bank shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2(d) and 3 hereof, as applicable:
 
(a)           pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination, a cash severance amount equal to two (2) times the Executive’s Annual Compensation; and
 
(b)           maintain and provide for a period ending at the earlier of (i) two (2) years after the Date of Termination or (ii) the date of the Executive’s full-time employment by another employer (provided that the Executive is entitled under the terms of such employment to benefits substantially similar to those described in this subparagraph (b)), at no cost to the Executive, the Executive’s continued participation in all group insurance, life insurance, health and accident insurance, and disability insurance in which the Executive was participating immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided that any insurance premiums payable by the Savings Bank or any successors pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be payable at such times and in such amounts (except that the Savings Bank shall also pay any employee portion of the premiums) as if the Executive was still an employee of the Savings Bank, subject to any increases in such amounts imposed by the insurance company or COBRA, and the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by the Savings Bank in any taxable year shall not affect the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by the Savings Bank in any other taxable year; and provided further that if the Executive’s participation in any group insurance plan is barred, the Savings Bank shall either arrange to provide the Executive with insurance benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive was entitled to receive under such group insurance plan or, if such coverage cannot be obtained, pay a lump sum cash equivalency amount within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination based on the annualized rate of premiums being paid by the Savings Bank as of the Date of Termination; and
 
 
3

 
(c)           pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination, a cash amount equal to the projected cost to the Savings Bank of providing benefits to the Executive for a period of twenty-four (24) months pursuant to any other employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements offered by the Savings Bank in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (other than retirement plans or stock compensation plans of the Savings Bank), with the projected cost to the Savings Bank to be based on the costs incurred for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs.
 
(d)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) hereof, in the event the Executive’s employment is terminated subsequent to a Change in Control by (i) the Savings Bank other than for Cause, Retirement or as a result of the Executive’s death or (ii) the Executive for Good Reason and at the time of such termination (A) either of the supervisory agreements entered into by each of the Corporation and the Savings Bank with the OTS as of February 13, 2006 are still in effect or (B) either the Corporation or the Savings Bank are deemed to be in “troubled condition” as defined in 12 C.F.R. §563.555 (or any successor thereto) unless, with respect to clause (A) and/or (B), as applicable, prior to or in connection with the Executive’s termination subsequent to the Change in Control, the OTS, and, to the extent required, the FDIC, has approved or not objected to the payment of the severance and the provision of benefits as provided by Sections 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c), respectively, pursuant to the provisions of 12 C.F.R. Part 359, then the Employers, instead of providing Executive the benefits set forth in Sections 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c), shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3 hereof, if applicable:
 
(I)           pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination, a cash severance amount equal to one (1) times the Executive’s Annual Compensation;
 
(II)           maintain and provide for a period ending at the earlier of (i) one (1) year after the Date of Termination or (ii) the date of the Executive’s full-time employment by another employer (provided that the Executive is entitled under the terms of such employment to benefits substantially similar to those described in this subparagraph (b)), at no cost to the Executive, the Executive’s continued participation in all group insurance, life insurance, health and accident insurance and disability insurance in which the Executive was participating immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided that any insurance premiums payable by the Savings Bank or any successors pursuant to this Section 2(d)(II) shall be payable at such times and in such amounts (except that the Savings Bank shall also pay any employee portion of the premiums) as if the Executive was still an employee of the Savings Bank, subject to any increases in such amounts imposed by the insurance company or COBRA, and the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by the Savings Bank in any taxable year shall not affect the amount of insurance premiums required to be paid by the Savings Bank in any other taxable year; and provided further that if the Executive’s participation in any group insurance plan is barred, the Savings Bank shall either arrange to provide the Executive with insurance benefits substantially similar to those which the Executive was entitled to receive under such group insurance plan or, if such coverage cannot be obtained, pay a lump sum cash equivalency amount within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination based on the annualized rate of premiums being paid by the Savings Bank as of the Date of Termination; and
 
 
4

 
(III)         pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within five (5) business days following the Date of Termination, a cash amount equal to the projected cost to the Savings Bank of providing benefits to the Executive for a period of twelve (12) months pursuant to any other employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements offered by the Savings Bank in which the Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of Termination (other than retirement plans or stock compensation plans of the Savings Bank), with the projected cost to the Savings Bank to be based on the costs incurred for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs.
 
3.           Limitation of Benefits under Certain Circumstances.  If the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 2 hereof, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the Savings Bank and the Corporation, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, then the payments and benefits payable by the Savings Bank pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be reduced by the minimum amount necessary to result in no portion of the payments and benefits under Section 2 being non-deductible to the Savings Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code.  If the payments and benefits under Section 2 are required to be reduced, the cash severance shall be reduced first, followed by a reduction in the fringe benefits. The parties hereto agree that the payments and benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement to the Executive upon termination shall not exceed three times the Executive’s average taxable income from the Employers for the five calendar years preceding the year in which the Change in Control occurs, in accordance with the provisions of Section 310 of the OTS Examination Handbook.  The determination of any reduction in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section 2 shall be based upon the opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Savings Bank and paid for by the Savings Bank.  Such counsel shall promptly prepare the foregoing opinion, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the Date of Termination, and may use such actuaries as such counsel deems necessary or advisable for the purpose.  Nothing contained in this Section 3 shall result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which the Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment other than pursuant to Section 2 hereof, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified in Section 2 below zero.
 
 
5

 
 
4.
Mitigation; Exclusivity of Benefits.
 
(a)           The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any benefits hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any such benefits be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of employment by another employer after the Date of Termination or otherwise, except as set forth in Section 2(b) above.
 
(b)           The specific arrangements referred to herein are not intended to exclude any other benefits which may be available to the Executive upon a termination of employment with the Employers pursuant to employee benefit plans of the Employers or otherwise.
 
5.           Withholding.  All payments required to be made by the Savings Bank hereunder to the Executive shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Savings Bank may reasonably determine should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
 
6.           Assignability. The Savings Bank may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any corporation, bank or other entity with or into which the Savings Bank may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Savings Bank may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case said corporation, bank or other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Savings Bank hereunder as fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder.  The Executive may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder.
 
7.           Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth below:

8.           Amendment; Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and such officer or officers as may be specifically designated by the Board of Directors of the Savings Bank to sign on its behalf.  No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by any other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.  In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Savings Bank may amend in good faith any terms of this Agreement, including retroactively, in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

10.
Nature of Employment and Obligations.
 
(a)          Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create other than a terminable at will employment relationship between the Savings Bank and the Executive, and the Savings Bank may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, subject to providing any payments specified herein in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
(b)          Nothing contained herein shall create or require the Savings Bank to create a trust of any kind to fund any benefits which may be payable hereunder, and to the extent that the Executive acquires a right to receive benefits from the Savings Bank hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Savings Bank.
 
11.          Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate two (2) years after the date first written above.  Subject to the last sentence of this Section 11, on or prior to the first annual anniversary of the date first written above and each annual anniversary thereafter, the Board of Directors of the Savings Bank shall consider (with appropriate corporate documentation thereof, and after taking into account all relevant factors, including the Executive’s performance as an employee) renewal of the term of this Agreement for an additional one (1) year, and the term of this Agreement shall be so extended unless the Board of Directors of the Savings Bank does not approve such renewal and provides written notice to the Executive, or the Executive gives written notice to the Savings Bank, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of any such anniversary, of such party’s election not to extend the term beyond its then scheduled expiration date; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Agreement shall be automatically extended for an additional one (1) year upon a Change in Control.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as long as the Savings Bank remains subject to the Supervisory Agreement or is deemed “troubled” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. §563.555 and for as long as required by the Supervisory Agreement, any renewal of this Agreement shall be subject to and conditioned upon the written approval or non-objection of the OTS and, if applicable, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).
 
12.           Headings.  The section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

14.           Changes in Statutes or Regulations.  If any statutory or regulatory provision referenced herein is subsequently changed or re-numbered, or is replaced by a separate provision, then the references in this Agreement to such statutory or regulatory provision shall be deemed to be a reference to such section as amended, re-numbered or replaced.
 
15.           Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
 
16.           Regulatory Prohibition. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) (12 U.S.C. §1828(k)) and 12 C.F.R. Part 359.
 
17.           Regulatory Actions.  The following provisions shall be applicable to the parties to the extent that they are required to be included in agreements between a savings association and its employees pursuant to Section 563.39(b) of the Regulations Applicable to all Savings Associations, 12 C.F.R. §563.39(b), or any successor thereto, and shall be controlling in the event of a conflict with any other provision of this Agreement.

(b)           If the Executive is removed from office and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Savings Bank’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or Section 8(g)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. §§1818(e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of the Savings Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the Executive and the Savings Bank as of the date of termination shall not be affected.
 
(c)           If the Savings Bank is in default, as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. §1813(x)(1)), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but vested rights of the Executive and the Savings Bank as of the date of termination shall not be affected.
 
(d)           All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §563.39(b)(5), except to the extent that it is determined that continuation of the Agreement for the continued operation of the Savings Bank is necessary: (i) by the Director of the OTS, or his/her designee, at the time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Savings Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. §1823(c)); or (ii) by the Director of the OTS, or his/her designee, at the time the Director or his/her designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to operation of the Savings Bank or when the Savings Bank is determined by the Director of the OTS to be in an unsafe or unsound condition, but vested rights of the Executive and the Savings Bank as of the date of termination shall not be affected.

(b)        Cause.  The Company and the Bank may terminate the Consultant’s services during the Consulting Period for Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:
 
(i)           the continued failure of the Consultant to perform substantially the Consultant’s duties with the Company or one of its affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Consultant by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes that the Consultant has not substantially performed the Consultant’s duties and after the Consultant has been given a 15 day period to cure such failure; or
 
(ii)           the willful engaging by the Consultant in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which violates any code of conduct of the Company and/or the Bank or which is otherwise materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or the Bank; or
 
(iii)           conviction of a felony or a guilty or nolo contendere plea by the Consultant with respect thereto.
 
For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Consultant, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Consultant in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Consultant’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company and/or the Bank.  Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors or upon the instructions of the President or a senior officer of the Company and/or the Bank or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company and/or the Bank shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Consultant in good faith and in the best interests of the Company and the Bank.  The cessation of the services of the Consultant for conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Consultant a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire membership of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank at a meeting of the Board of Directors called and held for such purpose (after not less than ten days’ advance notice is provided to the Consultant and the Consultant is given an opportunity, together with counsel chosen by the Consultant, to be heard before the Board of Directors), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Consultant is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.  The Company and/or the Bank may suspend the Consultant’s authority (with a continuation of the Monthly Fee during such period of suspension) after the provision of a notice of intention to terminate the Consultant’s services for conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above and prior to the time the Consultant is given an opportunity to meet with the Board of Directors, and any such suspension shall not constitute “Good Reason” as defined in Section 5(c) below.
 
 
5

 
(c)           Good Reason.  The Consultant’s services may be terminated by the Consultant for Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, in the absence of a written consent of the Consultant, any material breach of this Agreement by the Company and/or the Bank, including without limitation any of the following: (A) a material reduction in the Monthly Fees payable to the Consultant; or (B) a material diminution in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the individual to whom the Consultant is required to report; provided, however, that prior to any termination of service for Good Reason, the Consultant must first provide written notice to the Company and the Bank within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the condition, describing the existence of such condition, and the Company and the Bank shall thereafter have the right to remedy the condition within thirty (30) days of the date the Company and the Bank received the written notice from the Consultant.  If the Company and the Bank remedy the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then no Good Reason shall be deemed to exist with respect to such condition.  If the Company and the Bank do not remedy the condition within such thirty (30) day cure period, then the Consultant may deliver a Notice of Termination for Good Reason at any time within sixty (60) days following the expiration of such cure period.
 
(d)           Notice of Termination.  Any termination by the Company and/or the Bank for Cause, or by the Consultant for Good Reason, shall be communicated by a written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 15 of this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Consultant’s services under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date (which date shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice).  The failure by the Consultant or the Company and/or the Bank to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Consultant or the Company and/or the Bank, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Consultant or the Company and/or the Bank, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Consultant’s or the Company’s or the Bank’s rights hereunder.
 
(e)           Date of Termination.  “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Consultant’s services are terminated by the Company and/or the Bank for Cause, or by the Consultant for Good Reason, the date on which the Notice of Termination is given, or any later date specified therein within 30 days of delivery of such notice, as the case may be, or (ii) if the Consultant’s services are terminated for any other reason, the Date of Termination shall be the date specified in such Notice of Termination.

7.         Full Settlement.  Except as provided in Section 8(d), the obligations of the Company and/or the Bank to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company and/or the Bank may have against the Consultant or others.  In no event shall the Consultant be obligated to seek other services or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Consultant under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Consultant obtains other services.

(c)       The Consultant agrees that damages at law will be an insufficient remedy to the Company and the Bank in the event that the Consultant violates any of the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8, and that the Company and/or the Bank may apply for and, upon the requisite showing, have injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain the breach or threatened or attempted breach of or otherwise to specifically enforce any of the covenants contained in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8.  The Consultant hereby consents to any injunction (temporary or otherwise) which may be issued against the Consultant and to any other court order which may be issued against the Consultant from violating, or directing the Consultant to comply with, any of the covenants in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8.  The Consultant also agrees that such remedies shall be in addition to any and all remedies, including damages, available to the Company and/or the Bank against the Consultant for such breaches or threatened or attempted breaches.

20.           Amendment; Waiver.
 
(a)           This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by each party hereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company and the Bank may amend in good faith any terms of this Agreement, including retroactively, in order to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

4.02           Appointment and Operation of the Committee.  The members of the Committee shall be appointed by, and will serve at the pleasure of, the Board.  The Board from time to time may remove members from, or add members to, the Committee, provided the Committee shall continue to consist of two or more members of the Board, none of whom shall be an Officer or Employee of the Corporation, and each of whom shall be a "Non-Employee Director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.  The Committee shall act by vote or written consent of a majority of its members.  Subject to the express provisions and limitations of the Plan, the Committee may adopt such rules, regulations and procedures as it deems appropriate for the conduct of its affairs.  It may appoint one of its members to be chairman and any person, whether or not a member, to be its secretary or agent.  The Committee shall report its actions and decisions to the Board at appropriate times but in no event less than one time per calendar year.

4.07           No Deferral of Compensation Under Section 409A of the Code. All Awards granted under the Plan are designed to not constitute a deferral of compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, all of the terms and conditions of any Awards granted under this Plan shall be designed to satisfy the exemption for stock options or stock appreciation rights set forth in the regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code.  Both this Plan and the terms of all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder shall be interpreted in a manner that requires compliance with all of the requirements of the exemption for stock options or stock appreciation rights set forth in the regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code.  No Optionee shall be permitted to defer the recognition of income beyond the exercise date of a Non-Qualified Option or Stock Appreciation Right or beyond the date that the Common Stock received upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option is sold.

The Committee shall, in its discretion, determine from time to time which Employees will be granted Awards under the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each Award, whether each Option will be an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option and the exercise price of an Option.  In making all such determinations there shall be taken into account the duties, responsibilities and performance of each respective Employee, his present and potential contributions to the growth and success of the Corporation, his salary and such other factors as the Committee shall deem relevant to accomplishing the purposes of the Plan.  Non-Employee Directors shall be eligible to receive only Non-Qualified Options pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Plan.
 
 
ARTICLE VIII
OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
 
Each Option granted hereunder shall be on the following terms and conditions:
 
8.01           Stock Option Agreement.  The proper Officers on behalf of the Corporation and each Optionee shall execute a Stock Option Agreement which shall set forth the total number of shares of Common Stock to which it pertains, the exercise price, whether it is a Non-Qualified Option or an Incentive Stock Option, and such other terms, conditions, restrictions and privileges as the Committee in each instance shall deem appropriate, provided they are not inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions of this Plan.  Each Optionee shall receive a copy of his executed Stock Option Agreement.  Any Option granted with the intention that it will be an Incentive Stock Option but which fails to satisfy a requirement for Incentive Stock Options shall continue to be valid and shall be treated as a Non-Qualified Option.
 
8.02           (a)           Initial Grants to Non-Employee Directors.  Non-Qualified Options to purchase 2,720 shares of Common Stock shall be initially granted to each Non-Employee Director as of the day that the Plan was initially approved by stockholders of the Corporation (except that each Non-Employee Director who has served as a director of the Bank for more than 30 years shall be awarded a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 5,440 shares of Common Stock), effective at such time and with a per share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on such date.
 
     (b)           Subsequent Grants.  Each Non-Employee Director of the Corporation shall receive a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 340 shares of Common Stock (except that each Non-Employee Director who has served as a director of the Bank for more than 30 years shall be awarded a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 680 shares of Common Stock) on each anniversary date for two years after the initial grants pursuant to Section 8.02(a), or such lesser number as may then be available for grant under this Plan, at the per share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on such date.
 
 
6

 
(c)           Vesting and Exercise of Options.  Non-Qualified Options granted to Non-Employee Directors shall be vested and exercisable over five years at the rate of twenty percent per year commencing one year following the date of grant.
 
8.03     Option Exercise Price.
 
(a)           Incentive Stock Options.  The per share price at which the subject Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted, except as provided in Section 8.10(b).
 
(b)           Non-Qualified Options.  The per share price at which the subject Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of a Non-Qualified Option shall be established by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall be less than the greater of (i) the par value or (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the time such Non-Qualified Option is granted.
 
8.04     Vesting and Exercise of Options.
 
(a)           General Rules.  Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Options granted to Employees shall become vested and exercisable at the rate, to the extent and subject to such limitations as may be specified by the Committee, provided, however, that in the case of any Option exercisable within the first six months following the date the Option is granted, the shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of such Option may not be sold or disposed of by the optionee for the first six months following the date of grant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no vesting shall occur on or after an Optionee's employment or service with the Corporation and all Subsidiary Companies is terminated for any reason other than his death or Disability.  In determining the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options are vested and/or exercisable, fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole number if the fraction is 0.5 or higher, and down if it is less.
 
(b)           Accelerated Vesting Upon Death or Disability.  Unless the Committee shall specifically state otherwise at the time an Option is granted, all Options granted under this Plan shall become vested and exercisable in full on the date an Optionee terminates his employment or service with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company because of his death or Disability.
 
(c)           Accelerated Vesting Upon a Change in Control.  Notwithstanding the general rule described in Section 8.04(a), all outstanding Options shall become immediately vested and exercisable in the event there is a change in control of the Corporation.  A "change in control of the Corporation" for this purpose shall mean a change in the ownership of the Corporation or the Bank, a change in the effective control of the Corporation or the Bank or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation or the Bank, in each case as provided under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

8.05     Duration of Options.
 
(a)           General Rule.  Except as provided in Sections 8.05(b) and 8.10, each Option or portion thereof shall be exercisable at any time on or after it vests and becomes exercisable until the earlier of (i) ten (10) years after its date of grant or (ii) three (3) months after the date on which the Optionee ceases to be employed by or serve as a Director of the Corporation and all Subsidiary Companies, unless the Committee in its discretion decides at the time of grant or thereafter to extend such period of exercise upon termination of employment or service from three (3) months to a period not exceeding five (5) years.
 
(b)           Exception for Termination Due to Death, Disability or Retirement.  If an Optionee dies while in the employ or service of the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company or terminates employment or service with the Corporation or a Subsidiary Company as a result of Disability or Retirement without having fully exercised his Options, the Optionee or the executors, administrators, legatees or distributees of his estate shall have the right, during the twelve-month period following the earlier of his death, Disability or Retirement, to exercise such Options to the extent vested on the date of such death, Disability or Retirement.  In no event, however, shall any Option be exercisable within six (6) months after the date of grant or more than ten (10) years (or five (5) years for Options subject to Section 8.10(b) hereof) from the date it was granted.
 
8.06     Nonassignability.  Options shall not be transferable by an Optionee except by will or the laws of descent or distribution, and during an Optionee's lifetime shall be exercisable only by such Optionee or the Optionee's guardian or legal representative.
 
8.07     Manner of Exercise.  Options may be exercised in part or in whole and at one time or from time to time.  The procedures for exercise shall be set forth in the written Stock Option Agreement provided for in Section 8.01 above.

8.09     Voting and Dividend Rights. No Optionee shall have any voting or dividend rights or other rights of a stockholder in respect of any shares of Common Stock covered by an Option prior to the time that his name is recorded on the Corporation's stockholder ledger as the holder of record of such shares acquired pursuant to an exercise of an Option.

(b)           Limitation on Ten Percent Stockholders.  The price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual who, at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns, directly or indirectly, more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock issued to stockholders of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company, shall be no less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock of the Corporation at the time of grant, and such Incentive Stock Option shall by its terms not be exercisable after the earlier of the date determined under Section 8.05 or the expiration of five (5) years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.
 
(c)           Notice of Disposition; Withholding; Escrow.  An Optionee shall immediately notify the Corporation in writing of any sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition (or action constituting a disqualifying disposition within the meaning of Section 421 of the Code) of any shares of Common Stock acquired through exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, within two (2) years after the grant of such Incentive Stock Option or within one (1) year after the acquisition of such shares, setting forth the date and manner of disposition, the number of shares disposed of and the price at which such shares were disposed of.  The Corporation shall be entitled to withhold from any compensation or other payments then or thereafter due to the Optionee such amounts as may be necessary to satisfy any withholding requirements of federal or state law or regulation and, further, to collect from the Optionee any additional amounts which may be required for such purpose.  The Committee may, in its discretion, require shares of Common Stock acquired by an Optionee upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option to be held in an escrow arrangement for the purpose of enabling compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.10(c).

(d)           Time of Grant.  A Stock Appreciation Right must be granted concurrently with the Option to which it relates.
 
(e)           Non-Transferable.  The holder of a Stock Appreciation Right may not transfer or assign the Stock Appreciation Right otherwise than by will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution, and during a holder's lifetime a Stock Appreciation Right may be exercisable only by the holder.

9.01           General Adjustments.  The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan, the number of shares to which any Award relates and the exercise price per share of Common Stock under any Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock issued subsequent to the Effective Date of this Plan resulting from a split, subdivision or consolidation of shares or any other capital adjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Corporation.

8.08      Voting and Dividend Rights.  No Optionee shall have any voting or dividend rights or other rights of a stockholder in respect of any shares of Common Stock covered by an Option prior to the time that his name is recorded on the Corporation's stockholder ledger as the holder of record of such shares acquired pursuant to an exercise of an Option.
 
8.09      Additional Terms Applicable to Incentive Stock Options.  All Options issued under the Plan as Incentive Stock Options will be subject, in addition to the terms detailed in Sections 8.01 to 8.08 above, to those contained in this Section 8.09.
 
(a)           Amount Limitation.  Notwithstanding any contrary provisions contained elsewhere in this Plan and as long as required by Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted, of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year under this Plan, and stock options that satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code under any other stock option plan or plans maintained by the Corporation (or any parent or Subsidiary Company), shall not exceed $100,000.
 
(b)           Limitation on Ten Percent Stockholders.  The price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual who, at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns, directly or indirectly, more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock issued to stockholders of the Corporation or any Subsidiary Company, shall be no less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock of the Corporation at the time of grant, and such Incentive Stock Option shall by its terms not be exercisable after the earlier of the date determined under Section 8.04 or the expiration of five (5) years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.
 
9

(c)           Notice of Disposition; Withholding; Escrow.  An Optionee shall immediately notify the Corporation in writing of any sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition (or action constituting a disqualifying disposition within the meaning of Section 421 of the Code) of any shares of Common Stock acquired through exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, within two (2) years after the grant of such Incentive Stock Option or within one (1) year after the acquisition of such shares, setting forth the date and manner of disposition, the number of shares disposed of and the price at which such shares were disposed of.  The Corporation shall be entitled to withhold from any compensation or other payments then or thereafter due to the Optionee such amounts as may be necessary to satisfy any withholding requirements of federal or state law or regulation and, further, to collect from the Optionee any additional amounts which may be required for such purpose.  The Committee or the Board may, in its discretion, require shares of Common Stock acquired by an Optionee upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option to be held in an escrow arrangement for the purpose of enabling compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.09(c).
 
8.10     Stock Appreciation Rights.
 
(a)           General Terms and Conditions.  The Board or the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, authorize the Corporation, on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate in each case, to grant rights to Optionees to surrender an exercisable Option, or any portion thereof, in consideration for the payment by the Corporation of an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, or portion thereof, surrendered over the exercise price of the Option with respect to such shares (any such authorized surrender and payment being hereinafter referred to as a "Stock Appreciation Right").  Such payment, at the discretion of the Board or the Committee, may be made in shares of Common Stock valued at the then Fair Market Value thereof, or in cash, or partly in cash and partly in shares of Common Stock.
 
The terms and conditions with respect to a Stock Appreciation Right may include (without limitation), subject to other provisions of this Section 8.10 and the Plan: the period during which, date by which or event upon which the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised; the method for valuing shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Section 8.10; a ceiling on the amount of consideration which the Corporation may pay in connection with exercise and cancellation of the Stock Appreciation Right; and arrangements for income tax withholding.  The Board or the Committee shall have complete discretion to determine whether, when and to whom Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted.
 
(b)           Time Limitations.  If a holder of a Stock Appreciation Right terminates service with the Corporation as an Officer or Employee, the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised only within the period, if any, within which the Option to which it relates may be exercised.
 
10

(c)           Effects of Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights or Options.  Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the number of shares of Common Stock available under the Option to which it relates shall decrease by a number equal to the number of shares for which the Stock Appreciation Right was exercised. Upon the exercise of an Option, any related Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate as to any number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right that exceeds the total number of shares for which the Option remains unexercised.
 
(d)           Time of Grant.  A Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option must be granted concurrently with the Option to which it relates, and a Stock Appreciation Right granted in connection with a Non-Qualified Option must also be granted concurrently with the Option to which it relates.
 
(e)           Non-Transferable.  The holder of a Stock Appreciation Right may not transfer or assign the Stock Appreciation Right otherwise than by will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution, and during a holder's lifetime a Stock Appreciation Right may be exercisable only by the holder.

9.02           Adjustments for Mergers and Other Corporate Transactions. If, upon a merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation, recapitalization or the like of the Corporation, the shares of the Corporation's Common Stock shall be exchanged for other securities of the Corporation or of another corporation, each Award shall be converted, subject to the conditions herein stated, into the right to purchase or acquire such number of shares of Common Stock or amount of other securities of the Corporation or such other corporation as were exchangeable for the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation which such optionees would have been entitled to purchase or acquire except for such action, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the per share exercise price of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, provided that in each case the number of shares or other securities subject to the substituted or assumed stock options and stock appreciation rights and the exercise price thereof shall be determined in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation §1.424-1 and the regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code so that the substituted or assumed option is not deemed to be a modification of the outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the term of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder and the property which the Optionee shall receive upon the exercise or termination thereof shall be subject to and be governed by the provisions regarding the treatment of any such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights set forth in a definitive agreement with respect to any of the aforementioned transactions entered into by the Corporation to the extent any such Option or Stock Appreciation Right remains outstanding and unexercised upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by such definitive agreement.

(b)           Exception for Terminations Due to Death or Disability.  Notwithstanding the general rule contained in Section 7.01(a), all Plan Shares subject to a Plan Share Award held by a Recipient whose employment or service with the Corporation or any Subsidiary terminates due to death or Disability shall be deemed earned as of the Recipient's last day of employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary and shall be distributed as soon as practicable thereafter; provided, however, that Awards shall be distributed in accordance with Section 7.03(a).
 
(c)           Exception for a Change in Control.  Notwithstanding the general rule contained in Section 7.01(a), all Plan Shares subject to a Plan Share Award held by a Recipient shall be deemed to be earned in the event of a "change in control of the Corporation."  A "change in control of the Corporation" is defined as a change in the ownership of the Corporation or the Bank, a change in the effective control of the Corporation or the Bank or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation or the Bank, in each case as provided under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

7.02      Distribution of Dividends.  Any cash dividends or stock dividends declared in respect of each Plan Share held by the Trust will be paid by the Trust, as soon as practicable after the Trust's receipt thereof, to the Recipient on whose behalf such Plan Share is then held by the Trust.
 
7.03     Distribution of Plan Shares.
 
(a)           Timing of Distributions:  General Rule.  Plan Shares shall be distributed to the Recipient or his Beneficiary, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after they have been earned, provided, however, that no Plan Shares shall be distributed to the Recipient or Beneficiary pursuant to a Plan Share Award within six months from the date on which that Plan Share Award was granted to such person.
 
(b)           Form of Distributions.  All Plan Shares, together with any Shares representing stock dividends, shall be distributed in the form of Common Stock.  One share of Common Stock shall be given for each Plan Share earned and distributable.  Payments representing cash dividends shall be made in cash.
 
(c)           Withholding.  The Trustee may withhold from any cash payment or Common Stock distribution made under this Plan sufficient amounts to cover any applicable withholding and employment taxes, and if the amount of a cash payment is insufficient, the Trustee may require the Recipient or Beneficiary to pay to the Trustee the amount required to be withheld as a condition of delivering the Plan Shares.  The Trustee shall pay over to the Corporation or any Subsidiary which employs or employed such Recipient any such amount withheld from or paid by the Recipient or Beneficiary.
 
(d)           Restrictions on Selling of Plan Shares.  Plan Share Awards may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of prior to the time that they are earned and distributed pursuant to the terms of this Plan.  Following distribution, the Committee may require the Recipient or his Beneficiary, as the case may be, to agree not to sell or otherwise dispose of his distributed Plan Shares except in accordance with all then applicable federal and state securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend to be placed on the stock certificate(s) representing the distributed Plan Shares in order to restrict the transfer of the distributed Plan Shares for such period of time or under such circumstances as the Committee, upon the advice of counsel, may deem appropriate.
 
7.04      Voting of Plan Shares.  After a Plan Share Award has been made, the Recipient shall be entitled to direct the Trustee as to the voting of the Plan Shares which are covered by the Plan Share Award and which have not yet been earned and distributed to him pursuant to Section 7.03, subject to rules and procedures adopted by the Committee for this purpose.Provided that the Recipient informs the Trustee how the Recipient voted Plan Shares which have been earned and distributed for and against proposals to stockholders, the Trustee shall vote all Plan Shares which have not yet been earned and distributed pursuant to Section 7.03 in the same proportion for and against proposals to stockholders as the Recipient actually votes Plan Shares which have been earned and distributed pursuant to Section 7.03. If the Recipient does not provide the Trustee with such information, Plan Shares which have not yet been earned and distributed pursuant to Section 7.03 shall not be voted by the Trustee. In the event a tender offer is made for Plan Shares, the Trustee shall tender Plan Shares held by it which have not yet been earned and distributed in the same proportion in which the Recipient actually tenders Plan Shares which have been earned and distributed.
