PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON AN EVENT OF TERMINATION
(a) The
provisions of this Section 6 shall apply upon the
occurrence of an Event of Termination (as
herein defined) during Executive's
term of employment under this Agreement. As
used in this Agreement, an "Event of
Termination" shall mean and include any one
or more of the following:
(i) the
termination by the Company or the Bank of
Executive's full-time employment hereunder for any
reason other than (A) Disability or Retirement (as
defined in Section 7 below), or (B) termination for
Just Cause
as defined in Section 8 hereof; or
(ii)
Executive's resignation from the Bank's employ, upon
any
(A) failure to
elect or reelect or to appoint or
reappoint Executive as
_________________________, material change
in Executive's function, duties, or
responsibilities, which change would cause
Executive's position to become one of lesser
responsibility, importance, or scope from
the position and attributes thereof
described in Section 1, above,
3
<PAGE>
(B)
liquidation or dissolution of the Company or
the Bank other than liquidations or
dissolutions that are caused by
reorganizations that do not affect the
status of Executive, or
(C) material
breach of this Agreement by the
Company.
Upon the occurrence of any event described
in clauses (ii) (A), (B), (C) or (D),
above, Executive shall have the right to
elect to terminate his employment under
this Agreement by resignation upon sixty
(60) days prior written notice given
within a reasonable period of time not to
exceed four calendar months after the
initial event giving rise to said right to
elect. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, in the event of a continuing
breach of this Agreement by the Company,
Executive, after giving due notice within
the prescribed time frame of an
initial event specified above, shall not
waive any of his rights solely under
this Agreement and this Section by virtue
of the fact that Executive has
submitted his resignation but has remained
in the employment of the Company and
is engaged in good faith discussions to
resolve any occurrence of an event
described in clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D)
above.
(iii)
Executive's involuntary termination by the Company or
voluntary resignation from the Company's employ on
the effective date of, or at any time following, a
Change in Control during the term of this Agreement.
For these purposes, a Change in Control of the
Company or the Bank shall mean a change in control of
a nature that: (i) would be required to be reported
in response to Item 5.01 of the current report on
Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); or (ii) results in a
Change in Control of the Bank or the Company within
the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act, as
amended, and applicable rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (collectively, the "BHCA") as
in effect at the time of the Change in Control; or
(iii) without limitation such a Change in Control
shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (a)
any "person" (as the term is used in Sections 13(d)
and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Company representing 25% or more of
the combined voting power of Company's outstanding
securities, except for any securities purchased by
the Bank's employee stock ownership plan or trust; or
(b) individuals who constitute the Board on the date
hereof (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason
to constitute at least a majority thereof, provided
that any person becoming a director subsequent to the
date hereof whose election was approved by a vote of
at least three-quarters of the directors comprising
the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election
by the Company's stockholders was approved by the
same Nominating Committee serving under an Incumbent
Board, shall be, for purposes of this clause (b),
considered
as though he were a member of the
Incumbent Board; or (c) a plan of reorganization,
merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially
all the assets of the Bank or the Company or similar
transaction in which the Bank or Company is not the
surviving institution occurs or is
4
<PAGE>
implemented; or (d) a proxy statement soliciting
proxies from stockholders of the Company is
distributed, by someone other than the current
management of the Company, seeking stockholder
approval of a plan of reorganization, merger or
consolidation of the Company or similar transaction
with one or more corporations as a result of which
the outstanding shares of the class of securities
then subject to the plan are exchanged for or
converted into cash or property or securities not
issued by the Company; or (e) a tender offer is made
for 25% or more of the voting securities of the
Company and the shareholders owning beneficially or
of record 25% or more of the outstanding securities
of the Company have tendered or offered to sell their
shares pursuant to such tender offer and such
tendered shares have been accepted by the tender
offeror. Notwithstanding anything in this subsection
to the contrary, a Change in Control shall not be
deemed to have occurred upon the conversion of the
Company's mutual holding company parent to stock
form, or in connection with any reorganization used
to effect such a conversion.
(b) Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Termination, on the Date of
Termination, as defined in Section 9(b),
the Company and/or its subsidiaries
shall pay Executive, or, in the event of
his subsequent death, his beneficiary
or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the
case may be, as severance pay or
liquidated damages, or both, a sum equal to
one and one-half (1 1/2 ) times the
sum of (i) Executive's Base Salary and (ii)
the highest rate of bonus awarded to
Executive during the prior two years.
Payments hereunder shall be made in a lump
sum within thirty (30) days (or if Code
Section 409A is applicable, on the first
day of the seventh full month) following
Executive's termination of employment.
(c) Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Company
will cause to be continued, at Company's
sole expense, life, medical, dental and
disability coverage substantially identical
to the coverage maintained by the
Company and/or the Bank for Executive prior
to his termination. Such coverage or
payment shall continue for eighteen (18)
months from the Date of Termination.
(d) Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Termination, within sixty
(60) days (or, if Code Section 409A is
applicable, on the first day of the
seventh full month) following Executive's
termination of employment with the
Company, a lump sum payment in an amount
equal to the excess, if any, of: (A)
the present value of the benefits to which
he would be entitled under the
Company and/or the Bank's defined benefit
pension plan (and any other defined
benefit plan maintained by the Company
and/or the Bank) if he had the additional
years of service that he would have had if
he had continued working for the
Company for a thirty-six (36) month period
following his termination earning the
salary that would have been paid during the
remaining unexpired term of this
Agreement (assuming, if a Change in Control
as defined in Section 4(a)(iii) has
occurred, that the annual Base Salary under
Section 3(a) continues for the
remaining unexpired term of this
Agreement), determined as if each such plan had
continued in effect without change in
accordance with its terms as of the day
prior to his actual date of his termination
and as if such benefits were payable
beginning on the first day of the month
coincident with or next following his
actual date of his termination, over (B)
the present value of the benefits to
which he is actually entitled under the
Company and/or the Bank's defined
benefit
5
<PAGE>
pension plan (and any other defined benefit
plan maintained by the Company
and/or the Bank) as of the date of his
termination, where such present values
are to be determined using a discount rate
of 6% and the mortality tables
prescribed under Section 72 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code").
(e)
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs of this Section, in
the event that the aggregate payments or
benefits to be made or afforded to
Executive under said paragraphs (the
"Termination Benefits") would be deemed to
include an "excess parachute payment" under
Section 280G of the Code or any
successor thereto, then such Termination
Benefits will be reduced to an amount
(the "Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of
which is one dollar ($1.00) less
than an amount equal to the total amount of
payments permissible under Section
280G of the Code or any successor
thereto.
7.
TERMINATION UPON RETIREMENT, DISABILITY OR DEATH
For purposes of this Agreement, termination by the Company of
Executive's employment based on
"Retirement" shall mean termination of
Executive's employment by the Company upon
attainment of age 65, or such later
date as determined to by the Board of
Directors of the Company. Upon termination
of Executive's employment upon Retirement,
Executive shall be entitled to all
benefits under any retirement plan of the
Company and other plans to which
Executive is a party but shall not be
entitled to the Termination Benefits
specified in Section 6(b) through (d)
hereof.
In the event Executive is unable to perform his duties under
this
Agreement on a full-time basis for a period
of six (6) consecutive months by
reason of illness or other physical or
mental disability ("Disability"), the
Company may terminate this Agreement,
provided that the Company shall continue
to be obligated to pay Executive his Base
Salary for the remaining term of the
Agreement, or one year, whichever is the
longer period of time, and provided
further that any amounts actually paid to
Executive pursuant to any disability
insurance or other similar such program
which the Company has provided or may
provide on behalf of its employees or
pursuant to any workman's or social
security disability program shall reduce
the compensation to be paid to
Executive pursuant to this paragraph.
In the event of Executive's death during the term of the Agreement,
his
estate, legal representatives or named
beneficiaries (as directed by Executive
in writing) shall be paid Executive's Base
Salary as defined in Paragraph 3(a)
at the rate in effect at the time
Executive's death for a period of one (1) year
from the date of Executive's death, and the
Company will continue to provide
medical and dental coverage for Executive's
family for one (1) year after
Executive's other benefits normally
provided for an Executive's death.
8. TERMINATION FOR JUST
CAUSE
In the event that employment hereunder is terminated by the Company
for
Just Cause, the Executive shall not be
entitled to receive compensation or other
benefits for any period after such
termination, except as provided by law. The
phrase "Just Cause" as used herein, shall
exist when there has been a good faith
determination by the Board that there shall
have occurred one or more of the
following events with respect to the
Executive: (i) the conviction of the
Executive of
6
<PAGE>
a felony or of any lesser criminal offense
involving moral turpitude; (ii) the
willful commission by the Executive of a
criminal or other act that, in the
judgment of the Board will likely cause
substantial economic damage to the
Company or the Bank or substantial injury
to the business reputation of the
Company or Bank; (iii) the commission by
the Executive of an act of fraud in the
performance of his duties on behalf of the
Company or Bank; (iv) the continuing
willful failure of the Executive to perform
his duties to the Company or Bank
(other than any such failure resulting from
the Executive's incapacity due to
physical or mental illness) after written
notice thereof (specifying the
particulars thereof in reasonable detail)
and a reasonable opportunity to be
heard and cure such failure are given to
the Executive by the Board; or (v) an
order of a federal or state regulatory
agency or a court of competent
jurisdiction requiring the termination of
the Executive's employment by the
Company. Executive shall not have the right
to receive compensation or other
benefits for any period after Termination
for Just Cause.Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Just Cause shall not be deemed
to exist unless there shall have been
delivered to the Executive a copy of a
resolution duly adopted by the
affirmative vote of not less than a
majority of the entire membership of the
Board at a meeting of the Board called and
held for the purpose (after
reasonable notice to the Executive and an
opportunity for the Executive to be
heard before the Board), finding that in
the good faith opinion of the Board the
Executive was guilty of conduct described
above and specifying the particulars
thereof. Prior to holding a meeting at
which the Board is to make a final
determination whether Just Cause exists, if
the Board determines in good faith
at a meeting of the Board, by not less than
a majority of its entire membership,
that there is probable cause for it to find
that the Executive was guilty of
conduct constituting Just Cause as
described above, the Board may suspend the
Executive from his duties hereunder for a
reasonable period of time not to
exceed fourteen (14) days pending a further
meeting at which the Executive shall
be given the opportunity to be heard before
the Board. For purposes of this
subparagraph, no act or failure to act, on
the Executive's part shall be
considered "willful" unless done, or
omitted to be done, by him not in good
faith without reasonable believe that his
action or omission was in the best
interest of the Company and the Bank. Upon
a finding of Just Cause, the Board
shall deliver to the Executive a Notice of
Termination, as more fully described
in Section 9 below.
9.
NOTICE
(a) Any
purported termination by the Company or by Executive shall
be communicated by Notice of Termination to
the other party hereto. For purposes
of this Agreement, a "Notice of
Termination" shall mean a written notice which
shall indicate the specific termination
provision in this Agreement relied upon
and shall set forth in reasonable detail
the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of
Executive's employment under the provision so
indicated.
(b) "Date of
Termination" shall mean (A) if Executive's employment
is terminated for Disability, thirty (30)
days after a Notice of Termination is
given (provided that he shall not have
returned to the performance of his duties
on a full-time basis during such thirty
(30) day period), and (B) if his
employment is terminated for any other
reason, the date specified in the Notice
of Termination (which, except in the case
of a termination for Just Cause, shall
not be less than thirty (30) days from the
date such Notice of Termination is
given). In the event of termination for
Just Cause, termination shall be
immediate upon the receipt of a Notice of
Termination.
7
<PAGE>
(c) If, within
thirty (30) days after any Notice of Termination is
given, the party receiving such Notice of
Termination notifies the other party
that a dispute exists concerning the
termination, except upon the voluntary
termination by Executive in which case the
Date of Termination shall be the date
specified in the Notice, the Date of
Termination shall be the date on which the
dispute is finally determined, either by
mutual written agreement of the
parties, by a binding arbitration award, or
by a final judgment, order or decree
of a court of competent jurisdiction (the
time for appeal having expired and no
appeal having been perfected) and provided
further that the Date of Termination
shall be extended by a notice of dispute
only if such notice is given in good
faith and the party giving such notice
pursues the resolution of such dispute
with reasonable diligence. Notwithstanding
the pendency of any such dispute,
except in the event of termination for Just
Cause, the Bank will continue to pay
Executive his full compensation in effect
when the notice giving rise to the
dispute was given (including, but not
limited to, Base Salary) and continue
Executive as a participant in all
compensation, benefit and insurance plans in
which he was participating when the notice
of dispute was given, until the
dispute is finally resolved in accordance
with this Agreement, provided such
dispute is resolved within the term of this
Agreement. If such dispute is not
resolved within the term of the Agreement,
the Bank shall not be obligated, upon
final resolution of such dispute, to pay
Executive compensation and other
payments accruing beyond the term of the
Agreement. Amounts paid under this
Section following Notice of Termination
shall be offset against or reduce any
other amounts due under this Agreement.
10.
POST-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS
(a) All
payments and benefits to Executive under this Agreement
shall be subject to Executive's compliance
with paragraph (b) of this Section
during the term of this Agreement and for
one (1) full year after the expiration
or termination hereof.
(b) Executive
shall, upon reasonable notice, furnish such
information and assistance to the Bank as
may reasonably be required by the Bank
in connection with any litigation in which
it or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates is, or may become, a party.
11.
NON-COMPETITION
(a) Upon any
termination of Executive's employment hereunder,
other than a termination (whether voluntary
or involuntary) following a Change
in Control, as a result of which the
Company is paying Executive benefits under
Section 6 of this Agreement, Executive
agrees not to compete with the Bank
and/or the Company for a period of one (1)
year following such termination
within twenty-five (25) miles of any
existing branch of the Bank or any
subsidiary of the Company or within
twenty-five (25) miles of any office for
which the Bank, the Company or a Bank
subsidiary of the Company has filed an
application for regulatory approval to
establish an office, determined as of the
effective date of such termination, except
as agreed to pursuant to a resolution
duly adopted by the Board. Executive agrees
that during such period and within
said area, cities, towns and counties,
Executive shall not work for or advise,
consult or otherwise serve with, directly
or indirectly, any entity whose
business materially competes with the
depository, lending or other business
activities of the Bank and/or the Company.
The parties hereto, recognizing that
irreparable injury will result to the Bank
and/or the Company, its business and
property in the event of Executive's breach
of this Subsection 11(a) agree that
in
8
<PAGE>
the event of any such breach by Executive,
the Bank and/or the Company will be
entitled, in addition to any other remedies
and damages available, to an
injunction to restrain the violation hereof
by Executive, Executive's partners,
agents, servants, employers, employees and
all persons acting for or with
Executive. Executive represents and admits
that Executive's experience and
capabilities are such that Executive can
obtain employment in a business engaged
in other lines and/or of a different nature
than the Bank and/or the Company,
and that the enforcement of a remedy by way
of injunction will not prevent
Executive from earning a livelihood.
Nothing herein will be construed as
prohibiting the Bank and/or the Company
from pursuing any other remedies
available to the Bank and/or the Company
for such breach or threatened breach,
including the recovery of damages from
Executive.
(b) Executive
recognizes and acknowledges that the knowledge of
the business activities and plans for
business activities of the Company and
affiliates thereof, as it may exist from
time to time, is a valuable, special
and unique asset of the business of the
Company. Executive will not, during or
after the term of his employment, disclose
any knowledge of the past, present,
planned or considered business activities
of the Company or affiliates thereof
to any person, firm, corporation, or other
entity for any reason or purpose
whatsoever (except for such disclosure as
may be required to be provided to any
federal banking agency with jurisdiction
over the Company or Executive).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive
may disclose any knowledge of banking,
financial and/or economic principles,
concepts or ideas which are not solely and
exclusively derived from the business plans
and activities of the Company, and
Executive may disclose any information
regarding the Bank or the Company which
is otherwise publicly available. In the
event of a breach or threatened breach
by Executive of the provisions of this
Section, the Company will be entitled to
an injunction restraining Executive from
disclosing, in whole or in part, the
knowledge of the past, present, planned or
considered business activities of the
Company or affiliates thereof, or from
rendering any services to any person,
firm, corporation, other entity to whom
such knowledge, in whole or in part, has
been disclosed or is threatened to be
disclosed. Nothing herein will be
construed as prohibiting the Company from
pursuing any other remedies available
to the Company for such breach or
threatened breach, including the recovery of
damages from Executive.
12. SOURCE OF
PAYMENTS; NO DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS
(a) All
payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid
in cash or check from the general funds of
the Company.
(b)
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the
extent that payments and benefits, as
provided by this Agreement, are paid to or
received by Executive from the Bank, such
compensation payments and benefits
paid by the Bank will be subtracted from
any amount due Executive under this
Agreement. Payments pursuant to this
Agreement shall be paid by the Company
and/or the Bank and shall be allocated in
proportion to the level of activity
and the time expended on such activities by
Executive as determined by the
Company and the Bank on a quarterly
basis.

pension, savings, thrift, profit-sharing
or stock bonus plans, group life, health
(including hospitalization, medical and
major medical), dental, accident and long
term disability insurance plans, or
other employee benefit plans or programs,
or compensation plans or programs in
which Executive was a participant.
14. REQUIRED
REGULATORY PROVISIONS

C.F.R. Part 359.

required by law, no right to receive payments under
this Agreement shall be subject to
anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,

assignment by operation of law, and any

of, Executive and the Bank and their
respective successors and assigns.
