WHEREAS, The Board of Directors of the Bank wishes to make certain modifications to the Plan, and

 

WHEREAS, certain revisions to the Plan are necessary in order to conform the Plan to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and related regulations and notices promulgated thereunder ("Code").

 

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Plan shall be revised, amended and restated, effective May 7, 2008, as follows:

 

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
