Executive is deemed by the Bank to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of
the internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), no payment that is “deferred
compensation” subject to Section 409A shall be made to the Executive prior to the date that is six

(6) month delay will be paid in a lump sum on the earliest permissible payment date with interest
on the delayed payments credited at the rate that Bank Mutual is paying on the date of the
Executive’s separation from service on a six month certificate of deposit for such a lump sum
amount.
2. Except as expressly amended herein, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
according to its terms.
