services hereunder (as determined by the Company) due to the physical or mental infirmity that is the basis for the Disability and ends on the date on which the Employee’s employment is terminated due to such Disability; ; provided that the foregoing compensation and benefits shall be reduced dollar for dollar by any benefits paid to the Employee in respect of such period pursuant to any disability plan of the Company or the Bank.

The Company shall deliver to the Employee a copy of the resolution duly adopted by the Board (after reasonable notice to the Employee and an opportunity for the Employee, together with the Employee’s counsel, to be heard before the Board, such meeting and the opportunity to be heard to be held prior to, or as soon as reasonably practicable following, termination, but in no event later than 60 days following such termination), finding that the Employee was guilty of conduct constituting Cause. The notice provided to Employee pursuant hereto shall specify in detail the particulars of the conduct constituting Cause. If the Board thereafter determines that such conduct did not constitute Cause and the Employee’s employment hereunder is reinstated, then the Employee shall be entitled to receive back pay for the period following termination and continuing through reinstatement. If the Employee’s employment is not reinstated as contemplated by the preceding sentence, then the termination of employment shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 9(d) hereof and the Employee shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits provided therein.

(d) Termination by Company Without Cause. The Board may, by written notice to the Employee, immediately terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement at any time and for any reason other than her Disability or for Cause, in which event the Employee shall be entitled to receive the following compensation and benefits (unless such termination occurs during the Protected Period, in which event the compensation and benefits provided for in Section 10 hereof shall apply):

(i) all unpaid base salary, bonus amounts, and benefits that have accrued through the date of termination of employee; and

(ii) provided that the Employee has complied in all respects, from the Effective Date through and including each Payment Date, with her obligations hereunder: (A) the continuation of salary, at the rate provided pursuant to Section 3 hereof (as adjusted to date), from the date of termination of employment through the expiration date of the Term (the “Expiration Date”), plus, in the event such termination occurs after the second anniversary of the

Effective Date, said salary for an additional 12-month period; and (B) continued participation through the Expiration Date in the life insurance programs in which the Employee would have been eligible to participate through the Expiration Date based upon the benefit levels substantially equal to those that the Company provided for the Employee at the date of termination of employment to the extent the Employee continues to qualify for participation therein after such termination; provided that in the event the Employment does not continue to qualify for participation in any such program, the Company shall reimburse the Employee for the cost to the Employee of obtaining substantially similar benefits on her own.

Severance payments due pursuant to item (ii)(A) of this paragraph (d) shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices for its salaried employees from time to time in effect and shall terminate at such time as the Employee obtains employment with another financial institution comparable in nature to her employment at the Company at the time of termination.

(e) Termination by Employee for Good Reason. The Employee shall have the right, at any time within 60 days after an event that constitutes Good Reason, to terminate the Employee’s employment under this Agreement, in which case the Employee shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits payable under, and in accordance with, paragraph (d) of this Section 9 (unless such termination occurs during the Protected Period, in which event Section 10 hereof shall apply).

(f) Voluntary Termination by Employee. The Employee may voluntarily terminate employment with the Company during the Term for any reason other than Good Reason, upon at least 90 days’ prior written notice to the Board. Upon such termination, the Employee shall be entitled to receive only the unpaid base salary, bonus amounts and benefits that have accrued through the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall have the option upon receipt of the Employee’s written notice delivered pursuant to this paragraph (f) to pay the Employee 90 days’ base salary, plus any accrued but unpaid bonus amounts and any other unpaid benefits that have accrued or would accrue through the 90-day notice period, in lieu of Employee working during such notice period.
