perform his duties under this Agreement for a period of one hundred
eighty (180) consecutive days). The Board will determine
whether or not Executive is and continues to be permanently
disabled for purposes of this Agreement in good faith, based upon
competent medical advice and other factors that the Board

evaluations and tests as the Board or its medical experts deem

In the event of
his Disability, Executive will no longer be obligated to perform
services under this Agreement. The Bank will pay Executive, as
Disability pay, an amount equal to one hundred percent
(100%) of Executive’s bi-weekly rate of base salary in
effect as of the date of his termination of employment due to
Disability. The Bank will make Disability payments on a monthly
basis commencing on the first day of the month following the
effective date of Executive’s termination of employment due
to Disability and ending on the earlier of: (A) the date he
returns to full-time employment at the Bank in the same capacity as
he was employed prior to his termination for Disability;
(B) his death; (C) his attainment of age 65; or
(D) the date this Agreement would have expired had
Executive’s employment not terminated by reason of
Disability. Such payments shall be reduced by the amount of any
short- or long-term disability benefits payable to Executive under
any other disability programs sponsored by the Bank. In addition,
during any period of Executive’s Disability, the Bank will
continue to provide Executive and his dependents, to the greatest
extent possible, with continued coverage under all benefit plans
(including, without limitation, retirement plans and medical,
dental and life insurance plans) in which Executive and/or his
dependent participated prior to his Disability on the same terms as
if he remained actively employed by the Bank.

|
|
|
(7)
|

the benefits he would have received during the remaining term of
the Agreement under any retirement programs (whether tax-qualified
or non-qualified) in which Executive participated prior to his
termination (with the amount of the benefits determined by
reference to the benefits received by the Executive or accrued on
his behalf under such programs during the twelve (12) months
preceding his termination) and continue to participate in any
benefit plans of the Bank that provide health (including medical
and dental), or life insurance, or similar coverage upon terms no
less favorable than the most favorable terms provided to senior
executives of the Bank during such period. In the event that the
Bank is unable to provide such coverage by reason of Executive no
longer being an employee, the Bank shall provide Executive with
comparable coverage on an individual policy basis.
