Recitals WHEREAS, Arrow and the Bank consider the maintenance of a competent and experienced executive management team to be essential to the long-term success of Arrow and the Bank; and WHEREAS, the Executive wishes to continue to serve Arrow and the Bank as part of such executive management team; and WHEREAS, in this regard, Arrow and the Bank, on the one hand, and the Executive, on the other, have determined that it is in the best interests of all of the parties that the Executive serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of Arrow and the Bank, and as Interim Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of Arrow as contemplated by Paragraph 1 below, pursuant to a written employment agreement and in order to secure Executive’s services and skills, which are considered extraordinary, special and unique for its business and the long-term success thereof; and WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that this Agreement will supersede and replace any and all agreements, written or oral, previously in place regarding the employment of the Executive by either Arrow or the Bank, except for compensatory or employee benefit plans applicable to employees of Arrow and/or the Bank generally or to certain groups or sub-groups of employees of which the Executive is a member, and awards or award agreements issued to the Executive under such plans; and NOW, THEREFORE, in furtherance of the interests described above and in consideration of the respective covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1.

- 2 - 28166418.2 for a permanent replacement. Upon termination of Executive’s role as Interim Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer for any reason, Executive’s employment and duties hereunder shall thereafter relate only to Executive’s positions as President and Chief Executive Officer of Arrow and GFNB, and such termination of these interim roles shall in no way constitute an actual or constructive Termination of Employment of Executive without Cause or a Termination of Employment of Executive for Good Reason or breach by Arrow or GFNB of its obligations under this Agreement. 2. Term. (a) Term. The term of Employment of the Executive under this Agreement (“Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless the Executive becomes a Retired Early Employee under Paragraph 6 of this Agreement or such Employment is earlier terminated as provided in Paragraph 7 of this Agreement, shall expire on the last day of the third full year following the Effective Date. (b) Annual Review. On or before each anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement, each of the Arrow Board and the Bank Boards, will consider and vote upon a proposal to extend to the Executive an offer to replace this Agreement with a new employment agreement (the “Replacement Agreement”) commencing on the date of such anniversary. The Replacement Agreement (i) will be for a new term of three (3) years, (ii) will provide for a Base Salary for the Executive at commencement of the Replacement Agreement at least equal to the Base Salary of the Executive as of the last day immediately preceding such commencement, (iii) subject to Paragraph 5(b) hereof, will provide for other benefits having an aggregate value to the Executive at least equal to the aggregate value of the other benefits provided to the Executive as of the last day immediately preceding such commencement, and (iv) will contain other terms and conditions relating to the Executive’s position and duties (which may exclude Executive’s duties as Interim Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of Arrow), place of performance, rights upon a Change of Control of Arrow and rights in connection with any early Termination of Employment of the Executive that are, in each such instance, at least as favorable to the Executive as the terms and conditions relating to such matters under this Agreement, and generally shall be as favorable to the Executive as is this Agreement, as of the last day immediately preceding such commencement. If the Arrow Board and the Bank Boards shall determine to offer such a Replacement Agreement to the Executive and the Executive shall accept, this Agreement shall terminate at 11:59 p.m. on the day prior to the commencement date of the Replacement Agreement and the Replacement Agreement shall take effect at 12:00 midnight on such commencement date. If, prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement, either the Arrow Board or the Bank Boards shall not have offered a Replacement Agreement to the Executive under the preceding subparagraph of this Paragraph 2(b) (a “Non-Offer”), or the Executive, having been offered such a Replacement Agreement, shall not have accepted such Replacement Agreement (a “Non-Acceptance” and with either such Non-Offer or Non-Acceptance constituting a “Non- Renewal”), this Agreement and the Employment of the Executive hereunder shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the Term of this Agreement in accordance

- 3 - 28166418.2 with the terms hereof, and the rights and obligations of each of the parties hereunder, including the rights and obligations of the parties under this Paragraph 2(b), shall continue unchanged during the remaining Term of this Agreement, despite such Non-Renewal, except as may be specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement. 3. Position and Duties. The Executive shall continue to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Arrow and GFNB, and the Interim Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of Arrow as contemplated by Paragraph 1, in each case, with such duties, responsibilities, and authority as normally attend such positions or as may reasonably be assigned to the Executive from time to time by the Arrow Board or the Bank Boards. The Executive shall devote substantially all his working time and efforts to the business and affairs of Arrow and the Bank, provided however, that the Executive may, with the approval of the Arrow Board and the Bank Boards, serve as a director or officer of any non-competing business or engage in any other activity, including but not limited to, charitable or community activity, to the extent that such does not inhibit the performance of his duties hereunder or otherwise violate this Agreement. 4. Place of Performance. In connection with the Executive's Employment hereunder, the Executive shall be based at the principal executive offices of Arrow or the Bank, except for required travel on business. Arrow or the Bank shall furnish the Executive with office space, administrative assistance, and such other facilities and services as shall be suitable to the Executive's position and adequate for the performance of his duties hereunder. 5. Compensation. (a) Salary. The base annual salary (“Base Salary”) of the Executive shall be $650,000 payable by Arrow and/or the Bank in equal bi-weekly installments (i.e., every two weeks) or at such other intervals as shall constitute the regular payroll practice of Arrow and/or the Bank. Such Base Salary shall be effective as of January 1, 2023. The Executive's Base Salary may be increased from time to time in accordance with the normal business practices of Arrow and the Bank, as determined by the Arrow Board and the Bank Boards, and, if so increased, such Base Salary shall not thereafter during the Term be decreased and the obligation of the Bank or Arrow hereunder to pay the Executive's Base Salary shall thereafter relate to such increased Base Salary. Compensation of the Executive by Base Salary payments shall not prevent the Executive from participating in any other compensation or benefit plan of Arrow or the Bank in which he is entitled to participate and participation in any such other compensation or benefit plan shall not in any way limit or reduce the obligation of each of Arrow and the Bank to pay the Executive's Base Salary hereunder. The Executive’s Base Salary shall not be decreased in the event that the Executive is no longer serving as Interim Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer of Arrow. (b) Other Benefits. In addition to the compensation provided for in subparagraph (a) above, the Executive shall be entitled during the Term (i) to participate in any and all employee benefit programs or stock purchase programs of Arrow or the Bank now or hereafter in effect and open to participation by qualifying employees of Arrow or the Bank generally including, but not limited to, the retirement plan, supplemental retirement plan, employee stock purchase plan and employee stock ownership plan of Arrow or the Bank, (ii) to participate in employee

- 4 - 28166418.2 incentive plans (cash or equity, annual or long-term incentive) including the Company’s short- term incentive plan under which the Executive will be eligible to receive a cash bonus with the “Target Bonus” being set at fifty percent (50%) of his Base Salary, less all necessary and required federal, state and local payroll deductions, and (iii) to enjoy certain personal benefits provided by Arrow or the Bank including, but not limited to: (i) life insurance on the life of the Executive, at no cost to the Executive, under a group plan maintained by Arrow; (ii) disability insurance for the Executive, at no cost to the Executive, under a group plan maintained by Arrow; (iii) comprehensive medical and dental insurance under a group plan provided by Xxxxx, with the Executive to pay only those amounts required to be paid thereunder by covered employees generally under the cost-sharing arrangements in effect from time to time under such plan; (iv) reimbursement in full of all business, travel and entertainment expenses incurred by the Executive in performing his duties hereunder in accordance with Xxxxx’s policies and guidelines regarding the same; and (v) fully paid vacation during each calendar year in accordance with the vacation policies of Arrow in effect from time to time. Neither Arrow nor the Bank shall make any material changes in any of the personal benefits specified in this Agreement adversely affecting the Executive unless such change occurs pursuant to a program applicable to all executive officers of Arrow or the Bank, as the case may be, and the adverse effect on the Executive is not proportionately greater than the adverse effect of the change on any other executive officer of Arrow or the Bank previously enjoying such benefit. Premiums for the above-described insurance programs will be payable in accordance with the Bank’s regular monthly premium payments applicable to such insurance programs. Reimbursement of expenses shall be paid not later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses were incurred. 6. Termination of Employment following Change of Control. (a) Retired Early Employee. If (i) a Change of Control occurs during the Term of Employment hereunder, and (ii) within twelve (12) months after such Change of Control, either (x) Arrow and the Bank deliver to the Executive an advance written notice of Termination of Employment of Executive without Cause, which such notice shall comply with the requirements of Paragraph 11(gg) hereof or (y) the Executive delivers to Arrow and the Bank an advance written notice of a Termination of Employment of Executive for Good Reason, which such notice shall comply with the requirements of Paragraph 11(ff) hereof then, upon subsequent effectiveness of such Termination of Employment (either such termination, if effected under this Paragraph 6(a), a “Termination of Employment of Executive as a Retired Early Employee”), the Executive (sometimes referred to herein as a “Retired Early Employee”) will, following such a

- 5 - 28166418.2 Termination of Employment, be entitled to receive, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified below in Paragraph 8, upon the effective date of such Termination of Employment, such payments (in addition to any other payments then receivable by him) as are provided hereafter in this Paragraph 6. (b) Cash Payments and Benefits. (i) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified below in Paragraph 8, in the event of a Termination of Employment of Executive as a Retired Early Employee, Arrow or the Bank shall, commencing on the applicable payment date specified in Paragraph 8 and continuing throughout the Pay-out Period, make equal monthly payments to the Executive (which shall not be deemed Base Salary payments) in an amount such that the present value of all such payments, determined as of the date of such Termination of Employment, equals three (3) times the sum of the Executive’s Base Salary and Target Bonus for the year in which advance written notice of termination of employment occurs. Subject to Paragraph 8, if at any time during the Pay-out Period the Arrow Board in its sole discretion shall determine, upon application of the Retired Early Employee supported by substantial evidence, that the Retired Early Employee has experienced an unforeseeable emergency, as defined in Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder, Arrow or the Bank shall make available to the Retired Early Employee, in one (1) lump sum payment, an amount up to the amount needed to relieve such unforeseeable emergency (including taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of such lump sum payment) but not greater than the present value of all monthly payments remaining to be paid to him in the Pay-out Period, calculated as of the date of such determination by the Arrow Board, for the purpose of relieving such unforeseeable emergency to the extent the same has not been or may not be relieved by (A) reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (B) liquidation of the Retired Early Employee's assets (to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship), or (C) distributions from other benefit plans. If (I) the lump sum amount thus made available is less than (II) the present value of all such remaining monthly payments, Arrow or the Bank shall continue to pay to the Retired Early Employee monthly payments for the duration of the Pay-out Period, but from such date forward such monthly payments will be in a reduced amount such that the present value of all such reduced payments, calculated as of the date of such determination, will equal the difference between (II) and (I), above. The Retired Early Employee may elect to waive any or all payments due him under this subparagraph. (ii) In the event of a Termination of Employment of Executive as a Retired Early Employee, Arrow or the Bank shall provide the Executive during the Pay-out Period with medical, dental and life insurance coverage maintained by Arrow that is generally equivalent to the coverage held by the Executive (including dependent coverage, as applicable) immediately prior to such Termination of Employment, subject to general changes in such group plan offerings by Arrow or the Bank from time to time during the Pay-out Period and further subject to payment by the Executive of any amounts which would be required to be paid by the Executive if the Executive was then employed by Arrow or the Bank under the cost-sharing arrangements then in effect from time to time, which cost-sharing amounts may be deducted from the cash payments required to be made by Arrow or the Bank under Paragraph 6(b)(i) above. The cost of any such medical and dental coverage which is self-funded by Arrow or the Bank will be included in the taxable income of Executive to the extent it is paid directly or indirectly by Arrow or the Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arrow’s and the Bank’s

- 6 - 00000000.2 obligations under this Paragraph 6(b)(ii) shall terminate to the extent that the Executive becomes eligible for medical, dental and life insurance coverage from a new employer; provided, however, that the Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment or gainful pursuit during the Pay-out Period as a result of this Agreement. (c) Death of Retired Early Employee. If the Retired Early Employee dies before receiving all monthly cash payments payable to him as a Retired Early Employee under Paragraph 6(b)(i) above, the Bank shall pay to the Executive’s spouse, or if the Executive leaves no spouse, to the estate of the Executive, one (1) lump sum payment in an amount equal to the present value of all such remaining unpaid monthly payments, determined as of the date of death of the Executive. Such amount shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s death, provided that the spouse may not designate the calendar year of payment. (d) Indemnification of Executive. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, in the event a Change of Control and a Termination of Employment of Executive as a Retired Early Employee occurs, Arrow and the Bank shall indemnify the Executive for all legal fees and expenses subsequently incurred by the Executive in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided under this Agreement related to such events, provided, however, that such right to indemnification will not apply if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any such fees and expenses have been incurred as a result of the Executive's bad faith. Indemnification payments payable hereunder by Xxxxx and the Bank shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after a request for payment has been received from the Executive with such evidence of indemnifiable fees and expenses as Arrow or the Bank may reasonably request, provided, however, that such indemnification and reimbursement payments shall not be made later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses were incurred. (e) No Offset. Except as is contemplated by Paragraph 6(b)(ii) above, amounts payable to the Executive as a Retired Early Employee under this Paragraph 6 shall not be subject to any offset or reduction for (i) any amounts owed or claimed to be owed by the Executive to Arrow or the Bank or their Affiliates or (ii) any amounts of compensation or income received or generated by the Executive as a result of any other employment or self-employment of the Executive during the Pay-out Period. The Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment or gainful pursuit during the Pay-out Period as a result of this Agreement, and shall be prohibited from accepting certain other forms of employment and from engaging in certain other types of business during the Pay-out Period (as well as during certain other post- Termination of Employment periods) as and to the extent specified in Paragraph 9 of this Agreement. (f) Allocation. If the Executive should elect to become a Retired Early Employee under this Paragraph 6 and as a result of such election should become entitled to receive certain cash payments during the Pay-out Period as set forth above, Arrow shall determine, as soon as practicable following its receipt from the Executive of written notice of such election, the amount, if any, of such future cash payments that may properly be allocated to the Executive’s future performance of his obligations not to compete with, solicit customers or employees from, or disparage Arrow or its Affiliates under Paragraph 9 of this Agreement, with such allocation to be expressed as a single dollar amount equal to the present value determined as

- 7 - 28166418.2 of the date of Termination of Employment, of the amounts of the required future payments thus allocated. When thus determined, the dollar amount of this allocation shall be communicated by Arrow to the Executive. (g) Excess Parachute Payment. (i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the extent that any Company provided payment, distribution or benefit in favor of the Executive (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (the “Change of Control Termination Total Payments”), is or will be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Change of Control Termination Total Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the extent that, and only to the extent that, such reduction in the Change of Control Termination Total Payments would result in the Executive not being subject to the Excise Tax. Unless the Executive shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate the foregoing, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Change of Control Termination Total Payments, by first reducing or eliminating the portion of the Change of Control Termination Total Payments which are payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating non-cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the date of the Change of Control. Any notice given by the Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive's rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation. (ii) The determination of whether the Change of Control Termination Total Payments shall be reduced as provided in Paragraph 6(g)(i) above and the amount of such reduction (the “Section 4999 Determination”) shall be made at the Company's expense by an accounting firm selected by the Executive from among the six largest accounting firms in the United States or at the Executive’s expense by an attorney selected by the Executive. Such accounting firm or attorney shall provide its Section 4999 Determination, together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation to the Company and the Executive not later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Termination of Employment of Executive as a Retired Early Employee. If such firm or attorney determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive with respect to the Change of Control Termination Total Payments, it shall furnish the Executive with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such payments and, absent manifest error, such determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive. If such firm or attorney determines that an Excise Tax would be payable, the Company shall have the absolute right to accept such determination as to the extent of the reduction, if any, pursuant to Paragraph 7(g)(i) above, or if the Company so chooses, at its sole discretion, to have such determination reviewed by another accounting firm selected by the Company, at the Company’s expense. If the Company’s accounting firm is different from an accounting firm that makes such determination, and does not agree with such latter accounting firm, a third accounting firm shall be jointly chosen by the two firms, in which case the determination of such third accounting firm shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive.

- 8 - 28166418.2 7. Early Termination of Employment. In addition to any Termination of Employment of Executive as a Retired Early Employee under Paragraph 6 of this Agreement, a Termination of Employment of Executive may occur prior to the normal expiration of the Term under the circumstances and with the consequences set forth below. (a) Termination of Employment for Cause. At any time during the Term of Employment under this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 7(a), either Arrow or the Bank may effect a Termination of Employment of Executive for Cause if and only if the applicable standards set forth herein are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Termination of Employment of Executive for Cause shall not become effective unless and until: (i) reasonable advance notice is given to the Executive in writing setting forth the “for Cause” reasons Arrow or the Bank intends to effect such Termination of Employment of Executive for Cause; (ii) not sooner than thirty (30) days after delivery to the Executive of such notice, an opportunity is provided for the Executive to be heard before the Arrow Board or the Bank Boards with counsel; and (iii) after such hearing or opportunity to be heard, written notice of final Termination of Employment of Executive for Cause is delivered to the Executive, setting forth the specific reasons therefore, which Termination of Employment shall be effective as of the date of the delivery of such notice. Any Termination of Employment of Executive for Cause by Arrow or the Bank (including delivery of the notice specified in subsection (i), above) shall require the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the entire Arrow Board or the Bank Boards. The Executive will not be entitled to any further compensation for any period subsequent to the effective date of such Termination of Employment, except for payments, if any, payable in accordance with the then current plans and policies of Arrow or the Bank. Any attempted Termination of Employment of Executive for Cause initiated by Arrow or the Bank under this Paragraph 7(a), by delivery to the Executive of the advance written notice specified in subsection (i) above, that follows the initiation of any other attempted Termination of Employment of Executive under any other provision of this Agreement, by delivery of advance written notice of such earlier attempted Termination of Employment (any such, an “Earlier Termination”) by the party effecting such Termination of Employment to the other party or parties, shall be disregarded such that the Earlier Termination shall govern the procedures applicable to the Termination of Employment of Executive, the effective time of such Termination of Employment, and the consequences of such Termination of Employment, including the compensation and other benefits payable to the Executive as a result thereof, except in each case as may otherwise be required by law, by the affirmative language of applicable statute, regulation or judicial or administrative order, and not by implication alone. (b) Termination of Employment Without Cause. At any time during the Term of Employment under this Agreement, either Arrow or the Bank may effect, pursuant to this Paragraph 7(b), and in accordance with the requirements set forth in Paragraph 11(gg) below, a Termination of Employment of Executive without Cause, provided, however, that any attempt to

- 9 - 28166418.2 do so under circumstances that would also qualify such Termination of Employment as a Termination of Employment of Executive without Cause under Paragraph 6(a) of this Agreement, that is, as a Termination of Employment of Executive without Cause following a Change in Control that meets the conditions set forth in Paragraph 6(a), will be deemed a Termination of Employment of Executive without Cause under Paragraph 6(a), and not a Termination of Employment of Executive without Cause under this Paragraph 7(b). In the event of a Termination of Employment of Executive without Cause under this Paragraph 7(b), on the applicable payment date specified in Paragraph 8, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified below in Paragraph 8, Arrow or the Bank shall pay to the Executive, and the Executive shall be entitled to receive, one (1) lump sum payment in a dollar amount equal to the greater of (i) the total amount of Base Salary payments which would have been payable to the Executive during the period extending from such effective date until the normal expiration date of Employment under this Agreement as in effect at such time, had there been no early Termination of Employment of Executive without Cause (and assuming the Executive otherwise would have remained employed throughout such period and that his Base Salary would have remained unchanged throughout such period), or (ii) an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the current Base Salary of the Executive on the effective date of such Termination of Employment. (c) Termination of Employment for Good Reason. At any time during the Term of Employment under this Agreement, the Executive may effect at his own discretion, pursuant to this Paragraph 7(c), and in accordance with the requirements set forth in Paragraph 11(ff) below, a Termination of Employment of Executive for Good Reason, provided, however, that any attempt to do so under circumstances that would also qualify such Termination of Employment as a Termination of Employment of Executive for Good Reason under Paragraph 6(a) of this Agreement, that is, as a Termination of Employment of Executive for Good Reason following a Change in Control that meets the conditions set forth in Paragraph 6(a), will be deemed a Termination of Employment of Executive for Good Reason under Paragraph 6(a), and not a Termination of Employment of Executive for Good Reason under this Paragraph 7(c). In the event of a Termination of Employment of Executive for Good Reason under this Paragraph 7(c), on the applicable payment date specified in Paragraph 8, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified below in Paragraph 8, Arrow or the Bank shall pay to the Executive, and the Executive shall be entitled to receive, one (1) lump sum payment in a dollar amount equal to the dollar amount of the lump sum payment the Executive would have been entitled to receive had a Termination of Employment of Executive without Cause under Paragraph 7(b) above occurred on such date, and under identical circumstances except for the identity of the party effecting such Termination of Employment and the existence of Good Reason. (d) Termination of Employment for Disability. If, as a result of the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Executive shall not have performed his duties hereunder on a full time basis for six (6) consecutive months, Arrow or the Bank may effect a Termination of Employment of Executive for Disability upon thirty (30) days' written notice. Such Termination of Employment of Executive for Disability shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Arrow Board or Bank Boards. The compensation of the Executive during any period of disability prior to the effective date of such Termination of Employment of Executive for Disability shall be the amounts normally payable to him in accordance with this Agreement, reduced by the sum of the amounts, if any, paid to the Executive for such period

- 10 - 28166418.2 under disability benefit plans maintained by Arrow or the Bank. The Executive shall not be entitled to any further compensation from Arrow or the Bank for any period subsequent to the effective date of such Termination of Employment of Executive for Disability, except for payments, if any, payable in accordance with the then current plans and policies of Arrow or the Bank. (e) Termination of Employment upon Death. Upon the death of Executive during the Term of Employment hereunder (and simultaneous Termination of Employment of Executive upon Death), the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries, as applicable, shall not be entitled to any further compensation for any period subsequent to the date of death, except for payments, if any, payable in accordance with the then current plans and policies of Arrow or the Bank, including death benefits. (f) Other Early Terminations of Employment. The Employment of Executive may be terminated before the normal expiration of the Term hereof under certain other circumstances, not otherwise addressed in Paragraphs 6 or 7 hereof, as follows: (i) Retirement. Executive may terminate his Employment hereunder upon retirement at or after attaining retirement or early retirement age under any retirement plan of Arrow and its Affiliates then in effect with respect to which Executive is a covered person (“Retirement”). Upon any such Termination of Employment of Executive due to Retirement, Executive shall not be entitled to any further compensation for any period subsequent to the effective date of such Termination of Employment for Retirement, except for payments, if any, payable in accordance with the then current plans and policies of Arrow or the Bank including applicable post-retirement benefits and payments provided to or for the Executive under retirement, severance and similar plans of Arrow, the Bank or their Affiliates then in effect as to which the Executive participates. (ii) Termination by Executive without Good Reason. If the Executive determines, at his own discretion, to terminate his Employment prior to the expiration of the Term of Employment hereunder, without Good Reason and in the absence of the Retirement or Disability of the Executive (any such, a “Termination of Employment of Executive without Good Reason”), including any such Termination of Employment of Executive without Good Reason effected by the Executive following his Non-Acceptance of a Replacement Agreement, Executive shall not be entitled to any further compensation for any period subsequent to the effective date of such Termination of Employment of Executive without Good Reason, except for payments, if any, payable in accordance with the then current plans and policies of Arrow or the Bank including applicable qualified or non-qualified employee benefit plans or policies covering Executive or under any other applicable agreements with Executive. Under no circumstances will Executive effect a Termination of Employment of Executive without Good Reason, except after delivery of advance written notice thereof to Arrow or the Bank, and the effective date of any such Termination of Employment of Executive without Good Reason shall be the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery of such written notice, or such other day as may be mutually agreed upon by Arrow and the Executive.

- 11 - 28166418.2 (iii) Termination as a Result of Liquidation, Dissolution, Order, Etc. If the Employment of Executive by Arrow or the Bank is terminated prior to the expiration date of this Agreement as a result of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of Arrow or the Bank or the involuntary closing of the Bank by bank regulators prior to such date, or by virtue of any order or decree of any court or administrative or regulatory agency or body with jurisdiction over Arrow or the Bank ordering or requiring the Termination of Employment of Executive by either or both such entities prior to such expiration date, Executive shall have no right to receive from Arrow or the Bank, and neither Arrow nor the Bank shall have any obligation to pay or provide to Executive, any compensation or benefits, other than such Base Salary payments and normal benefits as may be required to be paid or provided to the Executive through the effective date of the Termination of Employment of Executive; provided, however, that nothing herein shall reduce or affect any obligations that Arrow or the Bank may have to Executive under any other agreement with Executive or under any qualified or non-qualified employee benefit plan or policy covering Executive or under any plan of liquidation or dissolution adopted by Arrow or the Bank in connection with any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. 8. Delayed Payment of Benefits; Conditions to Payment of Benefits. (a) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if the Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder, on the date of his Termination of Employment, amounts that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period immediately following the date of such Termination of Employment shall be paid on the first regular payroll date immediately following the six-month anniversary of such Termination of Employment, with interest to be paid on each such amount, the payment of which is then delayed, at the rate of yield on U.S. Treasury Bills with the earliest maturity date that occurs at least six months after such date of such Termination of Employment (as reported in the Wall Street Journal) from such date of Termination of Employment to the date of actual payment. Reimbursements or payments directly to the service provider for health care expenses incurred during such six month period, plus reimbursements and in-kind benefits in an amount up to the applicable dollar limit on elective deferrals to a 401(k) plan under Section 402(g)(1)(B) of the Code, and other amounts that do not constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall not be subject to such six month delay requirement. (b) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, neither Arrow nor the Bank will have any obligation to make or commence any payment, or provide any benefit, provided for in Paragraphs 6(b), 7(b) or 7(c) unless and until Executive (1) first signs and delivers to Arrow and/or the Bank within 45 days of the date of Termination of Employment a separation and release agreement prepared by Arrow in a form acceptable to Arrow and which such agreement shall include a full release of Arrow, its Affiliates, employee benefit plans/trusts, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, administrators, trustees, fiduciaries, insurers, successors and assigns and such other provisions as are typically required by an employer therein, and (2) all conditions to the effectiveness of such separation and release agreement shall have been satisfied. Upon satisfaction of these conditions, the payments and benefits provided for in Paragraphs 6(b), 7(b) or 7(c) will be

- 12 - 28166418.2 paid, or commence to be paid, on the later of (i) the first applicable regular payroll date of Arrow immediately following the 60th day anniversary of the date of Termination of Employment, without interest to be paid on such amount, or (ii) the date provided for in Paragraph 8(a), if applicable. Xxxxx agrees to provide to Executive on or prior to the date of the Termination of Employment of Executive, the form of separation and release agreement required by it. 9.
