Separation from Service:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any benefit under this Agreement is payable upon a “Termination of Employment,” “Termination of Service,” or other event involving the Executive’s cessation of services, such payment(s) shall not be made unless such event constitutes a “Separation from Service” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(h).

Restriction on Timing of Distribution:
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, distributions under this Agreement may not commence earlier than six (6) months after the date of a Separation from Service (as described under the “Separation from Service” provision herein) if, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the participant hereto is considered a “specified employee” (under Internal Revenue Code Section 416(i)) of the Bank if any stock of the Bank is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise. In the event a distribution is delayed pursuant to this Section, the originally scheduled distribution shall be delayed for six (6) months, and shall commence instead on the first day of the seventh month following Separation from Service. If payments are scheduled to be made in installments, the first six (6) months of installment payments shall be delayed, aggregated, and paid instead on the first day of the seventh month, after which all installment payments shall be made on their regular schedule.

12. | A new Section XXVIII shall be added as follows: |
Subsequent Changes to Time and Form of Payment:
The Bank may permit a subsequent change to form and timing of payments (a “subsequent deferral election”). Any such change shall be considered made only when it becomes irrevocable under the terms of the Agreement. Any subsequent deferral election will be considered irrevocable not later than thirty (30) days following acceptance of the change by the Plan Administrator, subject to the following rules:
(1) | the subsequent deferral election may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made; |

(3) | in the case of a payment made at a specified time, the election must be made not less than twelve (12) months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid. |

Therefore, the foregoing changes are agreed to.
