ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
The following words and phrases as
used herein shall, for the purpose of the Plan and any subsequent
amendment thereof, have the following meanings unless a different
meaning is plainly required by the content:
"Beneficiary"
means the person or persons
designated by the Participant to receive any benefits payable under
the Plan in the event of such Participant(s death. Such person or
persons shall be designated in writing by the Participant and
addressed to the Savings Bank or the Committee on forms provided
for this purpose by the Committee, and delivered to the Savings
Bank or the Committee. Such Beneficiary designation may be changed
from time to time by similar written notice to the Committee. A
Participant(s last will and testament or any codicil thereto shall
not constitute written designation of a Beneficiary. In the absence
of such written designation, the Beneficiary shall be the
Participant(s surviving spouse, if any, or if none, the
Participant(s estate.
“ Board ”
means the Board of Directors of the
Savings Bank, as constituted from time to time, and successors
thereto.
“ Change in Control
” shall mean: (i) a change in ownership of the Bank or
Roebling Financial Corp, Inc. (“Parent”) under
paragraph (a) below, or (ii) a change in effective control of the
Bank or the Parent under paragraph (b) below, or (iii) a change in
the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Bank or
the Parent under paragraph (c) below:
(a)
CHANGE IN THE OWNERSHIP OF THE
BANK OR THE PARENT. A change in the ownership of the Bank or the
Parent shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than
one person acting as a group (as defined in paragraph (b)),
acquires ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with
stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50
percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the
stock of such corporation. However, if any one person or more than
one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than 50
percent of the total fair market value or total voting power of the
stock of a corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the
same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the
ownership of the corporation (or to cause a change in the effective
control of the corporation (within the meaning of paragraph (b)
below). An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one
person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction
in which the corporation acquires its stock in exchange for
property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of
this section. This paragraph (a) applies only when there is a
transfer of stock of a corporation (or issuance of stock of a
corporation) and stock in such corporation remains outstanding
after the transaction.
(b)
CHANGE IN THE EFFECTIVE CONTROL
OF THE BANK OR THE PARENT. A change in the effective control of the
Bank or the Parent shall occur on the date that either (i) any one
person, or more than one person acting as a group (as determined
below), acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending
on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or
persons) ownership of stock of the corporation possessing 30
percent or more of the total voting power of the stock of such
corporation; or (ii) a majority of members of the
corporation’s board of directors is replaced during any
12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not
endorsed by a majority of the members of the corporation’s
board of directors prior to the date of the appointment or
election, provided that for purposes of this paragraph (b)(ii), the
term corporation refers solely to a corporation for which no other
corporation is a majority shareholder. In the absence of an event
described in paragraph (i) or (ii), a change in the effective
control of a corporation will not have occurred. If any one person,
or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to
effectively control a corporation (within the meaning of this
paragraph (b)), the acquisition of additional control of the
corporation by the same person or persons is not considered to
cause a change in the effective control of the corporation (or to
cause a change in the ownership of the corporation within the
meaning of paragraph (a)). Persons will not be considered to be
acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the
same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same
public offering.
(c)
CHANGE IN THE OWNERSHIP OF A
SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE BANK’S OR THE PARENT’S
ASSETS. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the
Bank’s or the Parent’s assets shall occur on the date
that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (as
determined below), acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month
period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such
person or persons) assets from the corporation that have a total
gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total
gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation
immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For this
purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of
the corporation, or the value of the assets being disposed of,
determined without regard to any liabilities associated
with
such assets. There is no Change in Control event
under this paragraph (c) when there is a transfer to an entity that
is controlled by the shareholders of the transferring corporation

thereafter without regard to such Change in Control. However, upon
a Change in Control, all future benefits payable pursuant to
Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.5 of the Plan, shall be made in a
lump sum payment equal to the present value of all future benefits
payable to such Participant. The interest rate in effect for a 3
year U.S. Treasury Note on the date of the lump sum payment shall

payable in accordance with Section 2.4.

prior to the date of Change in Control of the Savings Bank shall,

Control.

such Participant shall have completed less than twelve (12) years
