SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

Exhibit 10.6

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

This SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 22 day of February, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), by and among TC FEDERAL BANK, a Georgia bank (the “Bank”), and Xxxx Xxxxxx (the “Executive”). Capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 10 of this Agreement.

BACKGROUND

To incentivize the Executive to devote his full business time, attention, and energies to the business of the Bank, the Bank and the Executive desire to enter into this Agreement to establish the terms and conditions of the nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan to be maintained by the Bank on the Executive’s behalf.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. General Terms and Conditions. The Bank hereby establishes a nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan for the benefit of the Executive. Section 2 below describes the benefits available to the Executive, or the Executive’s Beneficiary, upon the occurrence of certain events as described in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement; provided the Executive remains in the Continuous Service of the Bank from the Effective Date until the specified event. Each benefit described in Section 2 is in lieu of any other benefit therein. No benefits under this Agreement shall be payable with respect to any event other than the events described below, and the benefits otherwise payable pursuant to Section 2 below are subject to the further limitations in Section 2(f) and (g).

2. Retirement Benefits.

(a) Termination on or after Normal Retirement Age. If Executive remains in the Continuous Service of the Bank until on or after attaining Normal Retirement Age, then following the date on which the Executive experiences a Separation from Service on or after Normal Retirement Age (the “Normal Retirement Date”) for any reason other than (i) discharge of the Executive by the Bank for Cause, (ii) because the Executive dies or becomes Permanently Disabled or (iii) on or within twelve (12) months following the effective date of a Change in Control, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the Normal Retirement Benefit each year for ten (10) years. Payment of the Normal Retirement Benefit shall commence upon the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, beginning with the month immediately following the Executive’s Normal Retirement Date, and be paid in twelve (12) equal monthly installments (without interest) on the first day of each month thereafter until paid in full. The Executive shall be 100% vested in the Normal Retirement Benefit upon attaining Normal Retirement Age prior to a Separation from Service.

(b) Termination Prior to Normal Retirement Age. If the Executive experiences a Separation from Service prior to attaining Normal Retirement Age for any reason other than (i) discharge of the Executive by the Bank for Cause, (ii) because the Executive dies or becomes Permanently Disabled or (iii) on or within twelve (12) months following the effective date of a Change in Control, then the Bank shall pay to the Executive in a single lump sum on or within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s Separation from Service an amount equal to the product of the Executive’s Accrual Balance, as of the date of Executive’s Separation from Service, multiplied by the Executive’s Vesting Percentage.

(c) Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. If before, on or after Normal Retirement Age, the Executive experiences a Separation from Service on or within the twelve (12) months following the effective date of a Change in Control for any reason other than (i) discharge of the Executive by the Bank for Cause or (ii) because the Executive dies or becomes Permanently Disabled, then the Bank shall pay to the Executive in a single lump sum on or within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s Separation from Service an amount equal to the Accrual Balance as of the date of Executive’s Separation from Service (regardless of whether the Executive’s Vesting Percentage is less than one hundred percent (100%) at that time).

(d) Disability. If Executive becomes Permanently Disabled while in the Continuous Service of the Bank and before any event described in Subsections (a), (b) or (c) above, the Bank shall pay to the Executive in a single lump sum on or within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Executive becomes Permanently Disabled an amount equal to the Accrual Balance as of the date Executive becomes Permanently Disabled (regardless of whether the Executive’s Vesting Percentage is less than one hundred percent (100%) at that time).

(e) Death. If the Executive dies while in the Continuous Service of the Bank and before the occurrence of any event triggering the Executive’s entitlement to a benefit under this Section 2, then no benefits shall be paid under this Agreement. If Executive dies after the occurrence of any event triggering the Executive’s entitlement to a benefit under this Section 2 and prior to payment of the entire Accrual Balance, the Executive’s Beneficiary shall receive in a single lump sum on or within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s death an amount equal to the remaining Accrual Balance at the time of Executive’s death.

(f) Forfeiture of Benefits; Regulatory Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if (i) the Bank discharges the Executive for Cause, or grounds exist for the Bank to discharge the Executive for Cause, regardless of whether an event triggering an entitlement to a benefit under Subsection (a) through (e) has occurred, no benefits shall be paid under this Agreement and any previously paid amounts shall be repaid to Bank by Executive upon five (5) days’ notice. The obligations of the Bank under this Agreement are further subject to its adherence to applicable state and federal banking regulations, rules, or statutes.

(g) Temporary Suspension Applicable to a Specified Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, if Executive is a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as of the date of Executive’s Separation from Service with the Bank other than by reason of death, payment of benefit amounts otherwise due shall be delayed to the extent necessary under Code Section 409A until the earlier of six (6) months after Separation from Service or the date of Executive’s death, as applicable. Any payments that are so delayed shall be paid in a single lump sum in cash in the seventh month following Executive’s Separation from Service, or within thirty (30) days after the Executive’s death, if earlier.

3. Amendment; Termination. This Agreement may be amended or terminated only by a written agreement signed by the Bank and the Executive. The Bank may unilaterally amend the Agreement to conform with written directives to the Bank to comply with legislative changes or tax law, including, without limitation, Code Section 409A and any and all Treasury regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder. No amendment shall provide for or otherwise permit any acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment under the Agreement in a manner that would be prohibited under Code Section 409A. No waiver of any provision contained in this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by

the party against whom such waiver is asserted. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 3, the Bank may elect to terminate the Agreement under any circumstances permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix). In any such event, the Bank shall distribute to the Executive the Accrual Balance in a single lump sum at the earliest date permitted under such Treasury Regulations. The amount of the benefit (but not the timing of payment) shall be determined as if the effective date of the termination of the Agreement constituted an involuntary discharge by the Bank other than for Cause on or within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control.

4. ERISA Provisions.

(a) Plan Administrator Duties. This Agreement shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Board of Directors”), or such committee or person(s) as the Board of Directors shall appoint. The Board of Directors, (or its delegatee(s)), in its capacity as the “administrator” of the Agreement for purposes of ERISA, shall have the discretion and authority to (i) make, amend, interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of this Agreement; and (ii) decide or resolve any and all questions including interpretations of this Agreement, as may arise in connection with the Agreement. The decision or action of the Board of Directors (or its delegatee) with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Agreement and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Agreement. The “Named Fiduciary” under the Agreement is the Bank.

(b) Claims Procedures.

(i) Notice of Denial.

(1) If Executive or a Beneficiary (a “claimant”) is denied a claim for benefits under this Agreement, the Claims Administrator shall provide to the claimant written notice of the adverse benefit determination (whether such claim is denied in whole or in part) within a reasonable period of time but no later than ninety (90) days after the Claims Administrator receives the claim. However, under special circumstances (to be determined by the Claims Administrator), the Claims Administrator may extend the time for processing the claim to a day no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Claims Administrator receives the claim. The claimant shall be notified in writing within the initial 90-day period of the need to extend the time for review, the special circumstances requiring an extension, and the date by which a decision is expected.

(2) With respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, the Claims Administrator shall provide to the claimant written notice of the adverse benefit determination within a reasonable period of time but no later than forty-five (45) days after the Claims Administrator receives the claim. This 45-day period may be extended up to thirty (30) days if an extension is necessary due to matters beyond the control of the Agreement (to be determined by the Claims Administrator) and the claimant is notified, prior to the expiration of the initial 45-day period, of the circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Claims Administrator expects to render a decision. If, prior to the end of the first 30-day extension period, the Claims Administrator determines that, due to matters beyond the control of the Agreement (to be determined by the Claims Administrator), a decision cannot be rendered within that extension period, the period for making the determination may be extended for up to an additional

thirty (30) days, provided that the Claims Administrator notifies the claimant, prior to the expiration of the initial 30-day extension period, of the circumstances requiring the extension and the date as of which the Claims Administrator expects to render a decision. In the case of any such extension, the notice of extension shall also specifically explain the standards on which entitlement to a benefit is based, the unresolved issues that prevent a decision on the claim, and the additional information needed to resolve those issues, and the claimant shall have at least forty-five (45) days within which to provide the specified information, if any.

(ii) Contents of Notice of Denial. If a claimant is denied a claim for benefits under this Agreement, the Claims Administrator shall provide to such claimant written notice of the denial. Any such notice of an adverse benefit determination shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant (and with respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner) and shall set forth:

(1) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

(2) specific references to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which the denial is based;

(3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary;

(4) an explanation of this Agreement’s claim review procedures, and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on review;

(B) if the adverse benefit determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Agreement to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation will be provided free of charge upon request in writing;

(C) the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Agreement relied upon in making the adverse determination, or, alternatively, a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Agreement do not exist; and

(D) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits.

(iii) Right to Review. After receiving written notice of the denial of a claim, a claimant or his representative shall be entitled to:

(1) submit written comments, documents, records, and other information relating to the denied claim to the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary, as applicable; and

(2) request, free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim

(3) request a full and fair review of the denial of the claim by written application to the Claims Administrator (or Appeals Fiduciary in the case of a claim for benefits payable due to Executive being Permanently Disabled), which shall include:

(A) a review that takes into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination; and

(B) in the case of a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled:

i. before issuing an adverse benefit determination on review, providing the claimant, free of charge with any new or additional evidence considered, relied upon, or generated by the Agreement or other person making the benefit determination (or at the direction of the Agreement or such other person) in connection with the claim as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date; and

ii. before issuing an adverse benefit determination on review based on a new or additional rationale, providing the claimant, free of charge, with the rationale as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the date on which the notice of adverse benefit determination on review is required to be provided to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.

(iv) Application for Review.

(1) If a claimant wishes a review of the decision denying his claim to benefits under this Agreement, other than a claim described in paragraph (2) of this Section 4(b)(iv), he must submit the written application to the Claims Administrator within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice of the denial.

(2) If the claimant wishes a review of the decision denying his claim to benefits under this Agreement due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, he must submit the written application to the Appeals Fiduciary within one hundred eighty (180) days after receiving written notice of the denial.

Upon receiving such written application for review, the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary, as applicable, may schedule a hearing for purposes of reviewing the claimant’s claim, which hearing shall take place not more than thirty (30) days from the date on which the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary received such written application for review.

(vi) Notice of Hearing. At least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled hearing, the claimant and his representative designated in writing by him, if any, shall receive written notice of the date, time, and place of such scheduled hearing. The claimant or his representative, if any, may request that the hearing be rescheduled, for his convenience, on another reasonable date or at another reasonable time or place.

(vii) Counsel. All claimants requesting a review of the decision denying their claim for benefits may employ counsel for purposes of the hearing.

(viii) Decision on Review. No later than sixty (60) days (forty-five (45) days with respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled) following the receipt of the written application for review, the Claims Administrator or the Appeals Fiduciary, as applicable, shall submit its decision on the review in writing to the claimant involved and to his representative, if any, unless the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary determines that special circumstances (such as the need to hold a hearing) require an extension of time, to a day no later than one hundred twenty (120) days (ninety (90) days with respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled) after the date of receipt of the written application for review. If the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary determines that the extension of time is required, the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary shall furnish to the claimant written notice of the extension before the expiration of the initial sixty (60) day (forty-five (45) days with respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled) period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary expects to render its decision on review. In the case of a decision adverse to the claimant, the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary shall provide to the claimant written notice of the denial. Any such notice of an adverse benefit determination shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant (and with respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner) and shall include:

(1) the specific reason or reasons for the adverse benefit determination;

(2) specific references to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which the adverse benefit determination is based;

(3) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits;

(4) a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following the adverse benefit determination on review;

(5) a statement regarding the availability of other voluntary alternative dispute resolution options;

(6) in the case of a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled:

(A) a description of any contractual limitations period that applies to the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA, including the calendar date on which the contractual limitations period expires for the claim;

(B) a discussion of the decision, including an explanation of the basis for disagreeing with or not following: the views presented by the claimant to the Agreement of health care professionals treating the claimant and vocational professionals who evaluated the claimant, the views of medical or vocational professionals whose advice was obtained on behalf of the Agreement in connection with a claimant’s adverse benefit determination, without regard to whether the advice was relied upon in making the determination, and a disability determination regarding the claimant presented by the claimant to the Agreement made by the Social Security Administration;

(C) if the adverse benefit determination is based on a medical necessity or experimental treatment or similar exclusion or limit, either an explanation of the scientific or clinical judgment for the determination, applying the terms of the Agreement to the claimant’s medical circumstances, or a statement that such explanation will be provided free of charge upon request; and

(D) the specific internal rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria of the Agreement relied upon in making the adverse determination, or a statement that such rules, guidelines, protocols, standards or other similar criteria do not exist.

The Claims Administrator has the discretionary authority to determine all interpretative issues arising under this Agreement and the interpretations of the Claims Administrator shall be final and binding upon Executive or any other party claiming benefits under this Agreement.

(ix) Calculating Time Periods. The period of time within which a benefit determination initially or on review is required to be made shall begin at the time a claim or request for review is filed in accordance with the procedures of the Agreement, without regard to whether all the information necessary to make a benefit determination accompanies the filing. In the event that a period of time is extended due to the failure of a claimant to submit information necessary to decide a claim or review, the period for making

the benefit determination shall be tolled from the date on which the notification of the extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information.

(x) Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Notices. With respect to any notices required to be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner, the Agreement shall provide (i) oral language services in the applicable non-English language (that include answering questions in any applicable non-English language and providing assistance with filing claims in any applicable non-English language), (ii) a statement in the applicable non-English language, prominently displayed on notices, explaining how to access language services and (iii) notices in the applicable non-English language upon request. For this purpose, a non-English language is an applicable non-English language if 10% or more of the population residing in the county for which the notice is sent is literate only in the same non-English language.

(xi) Adjudication of Disability Benefit Claims: Independence and Impartiality. All claims and appeals with respect to benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled shall adjudicated in a manner designed to ensure the independence and impartiality of the persons involved in making the decision. Accordingly, decisions regarding hiring, compensation, termination, promotion, or other similar matters with respect to any individual (such as a claims adjudicator or medical or vocational expert) shall not be based upon the likelihood that the individual will support the denial of benefits.

(xi) Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies Available under the Agreement.

(1) In no event will Executive be entitled to challenge the Claims Administrator’s decision in court or any other proceeding unless and until these claims procedures are exhausted. The Executive then shall have one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of receipt of the Claims Administrator’s decision on appeal in which to file suit regarding a claim for benefits under this Agreement. If suit is not filed within such one hundred eighty (180)-day period, it shall be forever barred.

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, if the Claims Administrator or Appeals Fiduciary, as applicable, fails to strictly adhere to all the applicable requirements hereunder, the claimant is deemed to have exhausted the administrative remedies available under the Agreement, except as provided in the paragraph below with respect to de minimis violations. If the claimant chooses to pursue remedies under Section 502(a) of ERISA under such circumstances, the claim or appeal is deemed denied on review without the exercise of discretion by an appropriate fiduciary.

The administrative remedies available under the Agreement will not be deemed exhausted based on de minimis violations that do not cause, and are not likely to cause, prejudice or harm to the claimant, provided the Agreement demonstrates that the violation was for good cause or due to matters beyond the control of the Agreement and that the violation occurred in the context of an ongoing, good faith exchange of information between the Agreement and the claimant. A violation shall not be de minimis if it is part of a pattern or practice of violations by the Agreement. The claimant may request a written explanation of the violation from the Agreement, and the Agreement must provide such explanation

within ten (10) days, including a specific description of its bases, if any, for asserting that the violation should not cause the available administrative remedies to be deemed exhausted. If a court rejects the claimant’s request for immediate review on the basis that the Agreement met the standards for the de minimis exception the claim shall be considered as refiled on appeal upon the Agreement’s receipt of the court’s decision. Within a reasonable time after the receipt of the decision, the Agreement shall provide the claimant with notice of the resubmission.

(xiii) Definitions. For purposes of the Agreement’s claims procedures, the following words and phrases shall have the respective meanings set forth below:

(1) “Adverse benefit determination” means any of the following: a denial, reduction or termination of, or a failure to provide or make payment (in whole or in part) for, a benefit, including any such denial, reduction, termination, or failure to provide or make payment that is based on a determination of a claimant’s eligibility to participate in a plan and with respect to a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, shall also mean any rescission of disability coverage with respect to a Participant or Beneficiary (whether or not there is an adverse effect on any particular benefit at that time), where rescission means a cancellation or discontinuance of coverage that has retroactive effect, except to the extent it is attributable to a failure to timely pay required premiums or contributions towards the cost of coverage.

(2) “Appeals Fiduciary” means an individual or group of individuals appointed by the Claims Administrator to review appeals of claims for benefits payable due to the Executive being Permanently Disabled made pursuant to this Subsection (b).

(3) “Claims Administrator” means the Board of Directors or such other person designated by the Board of Directors from time to time and named by notice to Executive.

(4) A document, record, or other information shall be considered “relevant” to a claimant’s claim if such document, record, or other information (A) was relied upon in making the benefit determination, (B) was submitted, considered, or generated in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to whether such document, record, or other information was relied upon in making the benefit determination, (C) demonstrates compliance with the administrative processes and safeguards required in making the benefit determination, or (D) in the case of a claim for benefits due to Executive being Permanently Disabled, constitutes a statement of policy or guidance with respect to the Agreement concerning the denied treatment option or benefit for the claimant’s diagnosis, without regard to whether such advice or statement was relied upon in making the benefit determination.

(xiv) Person Authorized to Act on Behalf of Claimant. The Claims Administrator may establish reasonable procedures to permit an authorized person to act on behalf of the claimant (and for determining whether a person has been authorized to act on behalf of a claimant).

5. Funding by Bank.

(a) The benefit obligations of the Bank set forth herein constitute an unfunded retirement arrangement, the obligations under which shall be reflected on the general ledger of the Bank (the “Retirement Liability”). The general corporate funds of the Bank shall be the sole source of payment of the Retirement Liability. The Bank shall be under no obligation to set aside, earmark or otherwise segregate any funds with which to pay the Retirement Liability. Executive and Executive’s Beneficiary or any successor in interest shall be and shall remain unsecured general creditors of the Bank with respect to the Retirement Liability. Executive and Executive’s Beneficiary shall have no interest in any property of the Bank or any other rights with respect thereto except to the extent of the contractual right to the Retirement Liability represented by the obligations described in Section 2 of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Bank has no obligation whatsoever to set aside assets, either directly or indirectly, in a trust for purposes of paying the Retirement Liability under this Agreement. The Retirement Liability is not a deposit, is not otherwise funded by the Bank and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and does not constitute a trust account or any other special obligation of the Bank and does not have priority of payment over any other general obligations of the Bank. If the Bank determines in its sole discretion to set aside assets in a grantor trust for the purpose of paying benefits under this Agreement, the grantor trust shall not be located outside of the United States or subsequently transferred to any trust outside of the United States.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Bank, in its sole discretion, may procure bank-owned life insurance covering the life of the Executive, with respect to which the Bank shall be the beneficiary, to pay the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement. Executive agrees to fully cooperate with the Bank to enable the Bank to procure such life insurance, including undertaking a physical to the extent needed to procure the policy. Executive and Executive’s Beneficiary, however, shall have no interest in any such policy of the Bank or any other rights with respect to such policy, the proceeds of which will be paid to the Bank. The Bank in its sole discretion will determine whether to procure any such policy and, if the Bank elects to procure such policy, the face amount of such policy.

6. Employment of Executive; Other Agreements. The benefits provided for herein for Executive are supplemental retirement benefits and shall not be deemed to modify, affect or limit any salary or salary increases, bonuses, profit sharing or any other type of compensation of Executive in any manner whatsoever. No provision contained in this Agreement shall in any way affect, restrict or limit any existing employment agreement between the Bank and Executive, nor shall any provision or condition contained in this Agreement create specific employment or other service rights of Executive or limit the right of the Bank to discharge Executive with or without cause.

7. Withholding.

(a) The Executive is responsible for payment of all taxes applicable to compensation and benefits paid or provided to the Executive under the Agreement, including federal and state income tax withholding, as applicable. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that, in its reasonable judgment, are required to be withheld, including but not limited to taxes owed under Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder, if any, and all employment taxes due to be paid by the Bank pursuant to Code Section 3121(v) and regulations promulgated thereunder (i.e., Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes on the present value of payments hereunder which are no longer subject to vesting). The Bank’s sole liability regarding such taxes is to forward any amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authority(ies). By participating in the Agreement, the Executive consents to the deduction of all tax withholdings attributable to participation in the Agreement

from the benefits due under the Agreement or other payments due to the Executive by the Bank to satisfy the employee-portion of such obligations. If insufficient cash wages are available or, if the Executive so desires, the Executive may remit payment in cash for the withholding amounts.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement to the contrary, to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A, payments due under the Agreement may be accelerated to pay, where applicable, the FICA tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a), and 3121(v)(2) and any state, local, and foreign tax obligations (the “Tax Obligations”) that may be imposed on amounts deferred pursuant to the Agreement prior to the time such amounts are paid or made available and to pay the income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 or the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local, or foreign tax laws as a result of an accelerated payment of the Tax Obligations (the “Income Tax Obligations”). Accelerated payments pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall not exceed the amount of the Tax Obligations and Income Tax Obligations and shall be made as a payment directly to taxing authorities pursuant to the applicable withholding provisions. Any accelerated payments pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall reduce the benefit otherwise payable to the Executive pursuant to the Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall be liable for all taxes related to payments under this Agreement, and the Bank shall not be liable to any interested party for any such taxes or if the Agreement fails to be exempt from or to comply with Code Section 409A.

8. Arbitration; Jury Trial Waiver.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other subsequent written agreement between Executive and the Bank, unless prohibited by law, any controversy or claim between Executive and the Bank, or between the respective successors or assigns of either, or between Executive and any of the Bank’s officers, employees, agents or affiliated entities, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any representations, negotiations, or discussions leading up to this Agreement or any relationship that results from any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, an alleged tort, breach of warranty, or other legal theory (including claims of fraud, misrepresentation, suppression of material fact, fraud in the inducement, and breach of fiduciary obligation), and whether based on acts or omissions occurring or existing prior to, at the time of, or after the execution of this Agreement and whether asserted as an original or amended claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, or otherwise, shall be settled by binding arbitration; provided, however, that resort to arbitration as provided in this Section 8 may only be had after exhaustion of the claims procedure described in Subsection 4(b) followed by mediation under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Thereafter, arbitration of any unresolved claim shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any dispute regarding whether a particular claim is subject to arbitration will be decided by the arbitrator. Any court of competent jurisdiction may compel arbitration of claims pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) The arbitrator may award to the prevailing party pre-and post-award expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fees and travel expenses, administrative fees, out-of-pocket expenses such as copying and telephone, court costs, witness fees, stenographer’s fees, and (if allowed by applicable law) attorneys’ fees. Otherwise, the parties will share equally the arbitrator’s fee and travel expenses and administrative fees, and each party will bear its own expenses.

(c) This agreement to arbitrate disputes will survive the payment of all obligations under this Agreement and termination or performance of any transactions contemplated hereby between Executive and the Bank, and will continue in full force and effect unless Executive and the Bank otherwise expressly agree in writing.

(d) By entering into this Agreement, Executive and the Bank agree and acknowledge that:

(i) by agreeing to arbitrate disputes, Executive and the Bank are giving up the right to trial in a court and THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY of all claims that are subject to arbitration under this Agreement;

(ii) grounds for appeal of the arbitrator’s decision are very limited; and

(iii) in some cases the arbitrator may be employed by, or may have worked closely with, a business in the same or a related type of business as the business engaged in by Executive or the Bank.

(e) EXECUTIVE AND THE BANK HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES AND CLAIMS BY, BETWEEN OR AGAINST EXECUTIVE OR THE BANK, WHETHER THE DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM IS SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION OR IS DECIDED BY A COURT.

Executive must initial here:
