On and as of the Effective Date the Parties

b. Basis Point
Override . In addition to base salary at the annual rate of
$90,000.00 per annum , the Bank shall pay Employee
incentive compensation on all loans and loan pools closed after
January 1, 2006, calculated and paid as follows (the “Basis
Point Override”):
(1) Employee will receive
incentive compensation for Multi-Family loans originated by staff
under Employee’s supervision and for loan pools
Originated/sourced by and processed by Employee. For arranging the
origination and sale of the Bank’s Multi-Family loans
(“Apartment Loans”), whether by Employee or by
employees under Employee’s supervision the Bank shall pay
Employee a Basis Point Override equal to (i) the gross amount
of the Apartment Loan or Loans sold in any transaction, multiplied
by (ii) a factor of six basis points, i.e., six-hundredths of
one percent (0.006 or 0.06%); provided, however, that Employee
shall not be eligible for Basis Point Override with respect to
Apartment Loans originated and sold by any employees under the
supervision of the Replacement Lending Officer. The Basis Point
Override provided in this subparagraph is one fee and encompasses
Employee’s supervision of the arranging of both the
origination and the sale of Apartment Loans as provided
herein.
(2) For managing the
identification and origination of loans that are ultimately made by
the Bank (“Portfolio Loans”) by those under
Employee’s supervision, the Bank shall pay Employee a Basis
Point Override equal to (i) the gross amount of the Portfolio
Loan or Loans made, multiplied by (ii) a factor of six basis
points, i.e., six- hundredths of one percent (0.0006 or 0.06%);
provided, however, that Employee shall not be eligible for a Basis
Point Override with respect to Portfolio Loans identified and
originated by any employees under the direct sales supervision of
the Replacement Lending Officer, or any other employees of the Bank
.
(3) For arranging
purchases of, and completing due diligence on pools of single
family and Apartment Loans from third parties (“Loan
Pools”), the Bank shall pay Employee a Basis Point Override
equal to (i) the gross amount of the Loan Pool or Pools
purchased in any transaction, multiplied by (ii) a factor of
three basis points, i.e., three-hundredths of one percent (0.0003
or 0.03%).
(4) Employee shall be
considered to have earned the Basis Point Override on the date of
the final closing of the sale of Apartment Loans the funding of the
Portfolio Loans and the purchase of the Loan Pools, as the case may
be, by the Bank (in each case, the “Earned Date”), it
being understood that the Bank shall have complete discretion to
agree to the conditions precedent to closing of any such
transaction. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, Employee
shall not be entitled to Basis Point Override with respect to (i)
any loans determined by Bank to be fraudulent or which are returned
to Bank for any reason, and (ii) loans that are a refinance of or a
modification of a then-existing Bank loan. In the event that the
Bank has paid Employee a Basis Point Override and it is
subsequently determined that the Employee is not entitled to such
Basis Point Override for any reason under this Agreement (an
“Unearned BPO”), the Bank may, in its sole discretion,
take either or both of the following actions: (a) offset the amount
of such Unearned BPO against any compensation otherwise payable to
Employee for any reason under this Agreement, and (b) present
Employee with an invoice for such Unearned BPO and Employee shall
promptly reimburse the Bank for such Unearned BPO, but in no event
later than 30 days after presentation of such invoice.
(5) The Bank shall pay to
Employee any Basis Point Override earned on the next Payroll
Payment Date following the Earned Date, if possible, or as promptly
as possible thereafter, but in no event later than two Payroll
Payment Dates after the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to
the final closing of such transaction.
c. One-Time Deferred
Compensation . Paragraph C.2 of the 2003 Agreement, providing
Employee One-Time Deferred Compensation, remains effective
verbatim as between the Parties and the terms of said
paragraph are incorporated in this Agreement as if set forth in
full. Employee acknowledges that effective July 1, 2004 his
deferred compensation account under the Deferred Comp Plan (as
defined in the 2003 Agreement) was credited with all amounts to
which he was entitled under the 2003 Agreement. One-Time Deferred
