(c) Faithful Performance . Except for periods of paid time off taken in accordance with Section 3(f) hereof or following a Disability Determination made in accordance with Section 4(b) hereof, or for services performed for the Bank’s Affiliates (as defined below) Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time, attention, skill and efforts during the Employment Period to the faithful performance of his duties hereunder, and shall not engage in any business or activity that interferes with the performance of such duties or conflicts with the business, affairs or interests of the Bank or BankFinancial Corporation (“ BFC ”); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may hold directorships, offices or other positions in one or more other organizations to the extent permitted by the Bank’s Professional Responsibility Policy, as amended from time to time, or as otherwise approved by the Board or the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

(d) Performance Standards . During the Employment Period, Executive shall perform his duties in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Bank, as amended from

time to time, such reasonable performance standards as the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank has established or may hereafter establish in the exercise of good faith business judgment, including those set forth in the Bank’s Personnel Manual, as amended from time to time, and such Business Plans as the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank has established or may hereafter establish in the exercise of good faith business judgment.

(a) Term . The Employment Period shall commence on the Effective Date and shall thereafter continue for a period of twenty-four (24) months unless extended as provided herein. On or before each anniversary of the Effective Date during the Employment Period (each an “ Anniversary Date ”), the Board, subject to the review process set forth in Section 2(b) hereof, may extend the Employment Period for an additional one (1) year so that the remaining term of the Employment Period shall be twenty-four (24) months. All references herein to the Employment Period shall mean, for all purposes of this Agreement, Executive’s Employment Period as initially established by, and as may subsequently be extended pursuant to, this Section 2(a).

(b) Annual Review . The Board or the Board’s Human Resources Committee (the “ Human Resources Committee ”) shall review this Agreement and the compensation arrangements provided for herein at least annually on, before or within a reasonable time (not to exceed forty-five (45) days) after each Anniversary Date. As part of each annual review, the Board or the Human Resources Committee shall determine whether or not to increase Executive’s Base Salary as provided in Section 3(a) hereof and to extend the Employment Period for an additional one (1) year as provided in Section 2(a) hereof.

A decision by or the failure of the Board or the Human Resources Committee to increase Executive’s Base Salary and/or to extend the Employment Period shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or a “Good Reason” under Section 5(b) hereof. All decisions and actions of the Human Resources Committee pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be subject to ratification by the Board only to the extent, if any, that ratification may be required by applicable laws and regulations.

The Bank shall provide Executive with either the use of an automobile or an automobile allowance and either the use of a cellular telephone or a cellular telephone allowance during the Employment Period in accordance with the standard policies and practices of the Bank and consistent with that provided to Executive as of the Effective Date; provided that the allowance for a given year must be paid to the Executive not later than 2.5 months after the end of such year.

(e) Reimbursement of Expenses . The Bank shall pay or reimburse Executive in accordance with the standard policies and practices of the Bank for all reasonable expenses incurred by Executive during the Employment Period in connection with his employment hereunder or the business of the Bank; provided that such payment or reimbursement must occur not later than 2.5 months after the end of the year in which such expense was incurred.

(f) Paid Time Off . Executive shall be entitled to receive not less than 176 hours of paid time off (“ PTO ”) per calendar year during the Employment Period in accordance with the PTO policies of the Bank as then applicable to senior executive officers of the Bank.

The Bank shall not make any changes to any Core Plan that would materially and adversely affect Executive’s rights or benefits under such plan unless such changes are made applicable to all non-probationary full-time employees of the Bank on a non-discriminatory basis. Nothing paid to Executive under any Core Plan or any 401(k) Plan or ESOP shall be deemed to be in lieu of any other compensation that Executive is entitled to receive under this Agreement.

If a Disability Policy is so provided, Executive shall be responsible for the payment of all premiums on the Disability Policy and shall cooperate with the Bank in all respects as necessary or appropriate to enable the Bank to procure the Disability Policy, and the Bank shall provide Executive with an annual allowance in an amount sufficient, on an after-tax basis, to equal the annual premiums for the Disability Policy; provided that the allowance for a given year must be paid to the Executive not later than 2.5 months after the end of the year in which such premiums are paid.

The Executive shall make reasonable good faith efforts to notify the Bank of the receipt of Disability Payments.

(a) Termination For Cause . The Board may terminate Executive’s employment with the Bank “For Cause” at any time during the Employment Period, subject to the requirements set forth in this Section 4(a) and in Section 7 of this Agreement. A termination “ For Cause ” shall mean the Bank’s termination of Executive’s full-time employment hereunder because of Executive’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses), or final cease-and-desist order, a repeated and material failure to achieve minimum objectives under a Business Plan established in accordance with Section 1(d) of this Agreement, a repeated and material failure of Executive to meet reasonable performance standards established in accordance with Section 1(d) of this Agreement, or a material breach of any provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated For Cause unless and until (i) there shall have been delivered to Executive a written notice of the Board’s intention to terminate Executive’s employment For Cause, specifying the alleged grounds for such termination; (ii) if the alleged grounds for such termination are a material breach of this Agreement, a repeated and material failure to achieve minimum objectives under a Business Plan established in accordance with Section 1(d) of this Agreement, or a repeated and material failure of Executive to meet reasonable performance standards established in accordance with Section 1(d) of this Agreement, providing Executive with a reasonable opportunity to cure, if curable, any conduct or acts alleged to be such; (iii) following

4

delivery of such written notice, Executive (together with any counsel selected by him) shall have been given a reasonable opportunity to present to the Board, at a meeting called and held for or including that purpose, Executive’s position regarding any dispute that exists regarding the alleged grounds for termination For Cause; and (iv) the Board shall adopt a resolution by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of its members, finding in good faith and on the basis of reasonable evidence that Executive was guilty of conduct justifying a termination For Cause. The Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 7 below) issued in connection with the termination of Executive’s employment For Cause shall be accompanied by a copy of such resolution. Should a dispute arise concerning the Executive’s termination For Cause, any review of the For Cause termination in any judicial or arbitration proceeding will be limited to a determination of whether the Board acted in good faith and on the basis of reasonable evidence.

(b) Termination for Disability . Upon a determination (a “ Disability Determination ”) of Disability (as defined below), the Board, in its discretion, may terminate Executive’s employment with the Bank at any time from and after the date of such Disability Determination. Following a Disability Determination, the Board may, in lieu of terminating Executive’s employment by reason of the Disability Determination, appoint one or more other persons to serve as Acting Executive Vice President of the Marketing & Sales Division of the Bank to fulfill, on a temporary basis, the duties and responsibilities of Executive. Any such temporary appointment shall be without prejudice to the Board’s right to thereafter terminate Executive’s employment based on a Disability Determination made pursuant to this Section 4(b) or as otherwise provided herein. The term “ Disability ” shall mean that (i) the Executive is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, or (ii) the Executive is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Bank.

(c) Termination Without Cause . The Board, in its discretion, may terminate Executive’s employment with the Bank “Without Cause” at any time, subject to the notification requirements set forth in Section 7 hereof.

Executive may, in his discretion, terminate his employment with the Bank “By Resignation” at any time during the Employment Period, subject to the notification requirements set forth in Section 7 hereof.

9

participating immediately prior to termination, at the Executive’s cost, which cost shall be an amount equal to the cost of such benefits as if such benefits were being provided pursuant to COBRA.

12

(d) Cooperation in Legal Proceedings . During the Employment Period and for a period equal to three (3) years from the effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall, upon reasonable notice, furnish such cooperation, information and assistance to the Bank as may reasonably be required by the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank in connection with any pending or threatened judicial, administrative or arbitration proceeding or any investigation that is based on events or circumstances in which Executive had personal knowledge or involvement and in which the Bank or any of its Affiliates is or may become a party or target, except for proceedings instituted against Executive by the Bank or any governmental or regulatory authority, or proceedings instituted by Executive against the Bank to enforce the terms of this Agreement or any other duties or obligations of the Bank to Executive. The Bank, or if applicable, its Affiliate, shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Executive in providing such cooperation, information and assistance. Unless Executive’s appearance is compelled by a court order or other legal process, Executive shall not be obligated to devote more than two (2) days per calendar month in fulfilling his obligations under this Section 8(d), and the Bank or its Affiliate shall make reasonable accommodations to avoid interfering with any duties that Executive may then have to any client or other employer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(d) or this Agreement, while Executive will be encouraged to voluntarily provide sworn testimony where appropriate, Executive shall have no duty to provide sworn testimony in any judicial, arbitration or discovery proceeding except as may be required by any rule of procedure, subpoena or judicial process applicable to or enforceable against Executive, and in no case shall Executive be required to provide any testimony that, in the judgment of Executive, might or could expose him to civil liability or compromise his privilege against self incrimination. Any testimony given by Executive in such a proceeding shall be truthful, but in no event shall the content of any testimony given by Executive in such a proceeding constitute a breach of this Section 8(d) or any other provision of this Agreement. Executive may condition his providing of assistance and testimony hereunder on his receipt of an undertaking from the Bank that it will indemnify him for such actions to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(e) Remedies . Executive and the Bank stipulate that irreparable injury will result to the Bank and its Affiliates and their business and property in the event of Executive’s violation of any provision of this Section 8, and agree that, in the event of any such violation by Executive, the Bank, and if applicable, its Affiliates, will be entitled, in addition to any other rights, remedies and money damages that may then be available, to injunctive relief to restrain the violation hereof by Executive, Executive’s partners, agents, servants, employees and all persons acting for, under the direction or control of or in concert with Executive, and to such other equitable remedies as may then be available. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Bank or any Affiliate from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank or such Affiliate for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of money damages from Executive.

(f) Adjustment of Non-Solicitation Period . The Non-Solicitation Period shall be reduced from eighteen (18) months to ninety (90) days, but only with respect to the restrictions set forth in Subsection (b)(i) and Subsection (b)(iii) of Section 8 of this Agreement (and the prohibitions in Subsection (b)(viii) of Section 8 against, aiding, abetting, inducing or conspiring with others to violate those restrictions), in the event that Executive resigns his employment within twelve (12) months after the Board fails to extend the Employment Period within ninety

13

(90) days (before or after) an applicable Anniversary Date pursuant to Section 2(a) for an additional one (1) year and Executive provides the Board with notice of such failure at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such ninety (90) day period, or in the event that the Bank terminates Executive’s employment For Cause based on a repeated and material failure to achieve minimum objectives under a Business Plan established in accordance with Section 1(d) of this Agreement, or a repeated and material failure of Executive to meet reasonable performance standards established in accordance with Section 1(d) of this Agreement. The Non-Solicitation Period shall be reduced from eighteen (18) months to six (6) months, but only with respect to the restrictions set forth in Subsection (b)(i) and Subsection (b)(iii) of Section 8 of this Agreement (and the prohibitions in Subsection (b)(viii) of Section 8 against, aiding, abetting, inducing or conspiring with others to violate those restrictions), in the event that the Bank terminates this Agreement Without Cause or Executive terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, provided that, in either case, Executive executes and delivers to the Bank a writing, acceptable in form and substance to the Bank, that releases and waives any and all obligations that the Bank may have under Section 6(c) or 6(e) of this Agreement to pay Executive any Base Salary after the expiration of such six-month period, or to provide Executive (or upon his death, his surviving spouse and minor children, if any) with coverage under the Core Plans after the expiration of such six-month Non-Solicitation Period.

All payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or check from the general funds of the Bank.

This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to Executive’s employment with the Bank, and supersedes the Initial Agreement, any prior offer of employment, employment letter or other agreements or understandings between the Bank and Executive, whether oral or written, with respect thereto, except that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to Executive of a kind provided for in any Core Plan or any separate plan or program established for the benefit of Bank employees generally, or any separate plan or program established after the date of this Agreement for the specific benefit of Executive. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this Agreement.

This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto and approved by the Board. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any

14

provision or the implementation of any provision of this Agreement is finally determined to violate any applicable law, regulation or other regulatory requirement that is binding on the Bank, or to constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice, Executive and the Bank agree to amend such provision to the extent necessary to remove or eliminate such violation or unsafe and unsound banking practice, and such provision shall then be applicable in the amended form.

Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void, and of no effect.

In the event any of the foregoing provisions of this Agreement are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 13, this Section 13 shall prevail.

(a) Rights Not Prejudiced . The Bank may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, but any termination by the Bank, other than For Cause, shall not prejudice any right of Executive to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after a termination For Cause as provided in Section 6(a) hereof.

(b) Suspension; Temporary Removal . If Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Bank or an Affiliate by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(3) or (g)(1), the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank may in its discretion: (i) pay Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while the contract obligations were suspended; and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended.

(c) Removal; Prohibition . If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Bank or an Affiliate by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 181 8(e)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected.

(d) Bank in Default . If the Bank is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1813(x)(1), all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties.

(e) Regulatory Termination . All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of this Agreement is necessary for the continued operation of the institution: (i) by the Director of the OTS (or his designee) at the

15

time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1823(c); or (ii) by the Director of the OTS (or his designee) at the time the Director (or his designee) approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to the operations of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.

(f) Certain Payments . Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121 and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(g) OTS Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no case shall the total Departure Compensation (defined below) paid to Executive upon the termination of his employment with the Bank, regardless of the reason, exceed three (3) times Executive’s Average Annual Regulatory Compensation (defined below). The term “ Departure Compensation ” shall mean any payments and other things of value that the Bank makes or provides to Executive upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Bank, but shall not mean or include any Prorated Incentive Compensation (defined above) that the Board determines was earned by Executive prior to the Effective Date of termination, any Earned Salary (defined above) or any Accrued Plan Contributions (defined above). The term “ Average Annual Regulatory Compensation ” shall mean the average of Executive’s annual Regulatory Compensation (defined below) based on the most recent three (3) tax years, or if Executive was employed by the Bank for less than three (3) full tax years, based on such lesser number of tax years or portions thereof as Executive was employed by the Bank. The term “ Regulatory Compensation ” shall mean, for the purposes of the foregoing definition as it relates to any tax year, any payment of money or provision of any other thing of value by the Bank to Executive in consideration of Executive’s employment, including, without limitation, Base Salary, commissions, bonuses, pension and profit-sharing plans, severance payments, retirement, director or committee fees, fringe benefits, payment of expense items without accountability or business purpose or that do not meet Internal Revenue Service requirements for deductibility by the association. In the event that the total Departure Compensation that becomes due to Executive under this Agreement exceeds three (3) times Executive’s Average Annual Regulatory Compensation, the aggregate payments or other things of value constituting Departure Compensation shall be reduced to a lesser amount, the value of which shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than three (3) times Executive’s Average Annual Regulatory Compensation. In such a case, the reduction shall be allocated among the components of such payments and other things of value in the manner designated by Executive.

All payments required to be made to Executive under this Agreement shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Bank reasonably determines should be withheld pursuant to any applicable state or federal law or regulation.

16

If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision that is not held invalid, and each such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. Without limiting the foregoing, if any provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of applicability, the court making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope, duration or area of applicability, or all of them, and such provision shall then be applicable in the modified form.

The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

The validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without regard or reference to any principles of conflicts of law of the State of Illinois, except to the extent that such internal laws are preempted by the laws of the United States or the regulations of the OTS or any other agency of the United States.

(a) Arbitration . Except for claims, cases or controversies based on or arising out of Section 8 of this Agreement (“ Section 8 Claims ”), all claims, cases or controversies arising out of or in connection with either this Agreement, Executive’s employment with the Bank or the termination or cessation of such employment (collectively, “ Employment Claims ”), whether asserted against the Bank, an Affiliate (as defined below), and/or an officer, director or employee of the Bank or an Affiliate, and whether based on this Agreement or existing or subsequently enacted or adopted statutory or common law doctrines, shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by JAMS Endispute or a successor entity (“ JAMS ”) in Chicago, Illinois, in accordance with the then applicable Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS, or in the event JAMS or a successor in interest of JAMS no longer provides arbitration services, by the American Arbitration Association or a successor entity (the “ AAA ”) in accordance with its then applicable National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The costs and fees imposed by JAMS or the AAA for conducting such arbitration shall be borne equally by Executive and the Bank unless the arbitrator determines otherwise. The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon Executive, the Bank and any other parties to such proceeding, and may be entered and enforced as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Employment Claims subject to arbitration hereunder shall include, but shall not be limited to, those arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, including the amendments of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the law of

17

contract, the law of tort, and other claims under federal, state or local statutes, ordinances and rules or the common law. Executive and the Bank acknowledge that by agreeing to arbitration they are relinquishing all rights they have to sue each other for Employment Claims that do not constitute Section 8 Claims and any rights that they may have to a jury trial on Employment Claims that do not constitute Section 8 Claims.

(b) Section 8 Claims . All Section 8 Claims shall be brought, commenced and maintained only in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the County of Cook or the County of DuPage, State of Illinois. Executive and the Bank each hereby (i) consents to the exercise of jurisdiction over his or its person and property by any court of competent jurisdiction situated in the County of Cook or the County of DuPage, State of Illinois for the enforcement of any claim, case or controversy based on or arising under Section 8 of this Agreement; (ii) waives any and all personal or other rights to object to such jurisdiction for such purposes; and (iii) waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court.

(a) Indemnification, Advancement and Insurance . The Bank shall, subject to the conditions and findings set forth in 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121: (i) provide Executive (including his heirs, executors and administrators), at the Bank’s expense, with insurance under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that reasonably and adequately insures Executive for his acts and omissions as a director, officer or employee of the Bank and its subsidiaries; (ii) indemnify Executive (and his heirs, executors and administrators) against all judgments entered and settlements made in any pending or threatened action and any appeal or other proceeding for review of such action, regardless of whether such action is a judicial or administrative proceeding, if such action was brought or threatened because Executive is or was a director, officer or employee of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) indemnify Executive (and his heirs, executors and administrators) against all and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, actually paid or incurred by Executive in defending or settling any such action, or in enforcing Executive’s rights to indemnification under this Section 19; and (iv) to the extent that the Bank is not then authorized by applicable law to provide such indemnification, advance Executive his reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising from the settlement or defense of any such action, subject to the Bank’s receipt of a written undertaking from Executive to repay all costs and expenses so advanced if Executive is later determined not to be entitled to indemnification. In the event that 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121 or the provisions of the Bank’s bylaws or charter that relate to indemnification and the advancement of expenses are hereafter amended, such amendment shall apply to the Bank’s obligations under this Section 19, but only to the extent that it increases the Bank’s authority to indemnify or advance expenses to Executive beyond the authority that was provided, or reduces any limitations on such authority that were imposed, by 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121 and the provisions of the Bank’s bylaws or charter on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Bank shall have no obligations under this Section 19 or under any provision of its charter or bylaws to provide indemnification or advance expenses to Executive in connection with any pending or threatened action, and any appeal or other proceeding for review of such action, regardless of whether such action is a judicial or administrative proceeding, if such action was brought or threatened because Executive

18

is or was a director, officer or employee of a person or Legal Entity that is not or was not an Affiliate of the Bank, or because of any duty or alleged duty arising out of a past or present employment, contractual or other legal relationship between Executive and a Legal Entity that is or was not an Affiliate of the Bank. Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Section 19 shall be subject to and conditioned upon compliance with the applicable provisions of 12 U.S.C. 1828(k), as amended, and 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121, as amended, and any rules or regulations promulgated in connection with therewith.

(b) Procedures . Any request for indemnity or the advancement of expenses shall be made in a written notice delivered by Executive to the General Counsel of the Bank. The notice shall describe with reasonable particularity the claim that has been made or threatened against Executive and the reasons why Executive believes that it is lawful and appropriate for the Bank to indemnify or advance expenses to him in connection with such claim. Following the delivery of such written notice, the Board shall, as soon as practicable and by no later than its next regularly scheduled Board meeting, adopt a resolution by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of its members (i) determining in good faith and on the basis of reasonable evidence or other information whether or not Executive, in connection with such claim, was acting in good faith within the scope of his employment or authority as he perceived it under the circumstances and for a purpose he could reasonably have believed under the circumstances was in the best interests of the Bank, and (ii) determining whether or not the Bank will approve or deny Executive’s request subject to any regulatory notification requirements; provided, however , that if the Board lacks sufficient evidence or other information at the time of such meeting to make the determination set forth in Subsection (i) of this Section 19(b), the Board shall adopt a resolution at such meeting by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of its members determining whether or not the Bank will advance Executive the reasonable costs of defending or settling such claim, subject to such undertakings by Executive as may be required by applicable law. The Board shall provide Executive with a copy of each such resolution promptly after its adoption.

(a) Payment to Executive . Except as provided in Section 18(a) hereof, in the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with any provision of this Agreement other than Section 8 hereof is resolved on the merits in favor of Executive pursuant to an arbitration award or final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected), the Bank shall be obligated to pay Executive, within thirty (30) days after the date on which such judgment becomes final and not subject to further appeal, all reasonable costs and legal fees paid or incurred by Executive in connection with such dispute or controversy.

(b) Payment to Bank . Except as provided in Section 18(a) hereof, in the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with Section 8 of this Agreement is resolved on the merits in favor of the Bank pursuant to an arbitration award or final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected), Executive shall be obligated to pay the Bank, within thirty (30) days after the date on which such judgment becomes final and not subject to further appeal, all reasonable costs and legal fees paid or incurred by the Bank in connection with such dispute or controversy.

19

Executive has heretofore advised the Bank and hereby represents that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of the obligations hereunder do not and will not conflict with, or result in any default, violation or breach of any contract or agreement to which Executive is a party, or of any legal duty of Executive.

The rights and obligations of Executive and the Bank under Sections 6, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment and the termination or expiration of this Agreement. All other rights and obligations of Executive and the Bank shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement only to the extent that they expressly contemplate future performance and remain unperformed.

(a) Continuing Rights and Obligations . This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Executive and his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and the Bank and its successors and assigns. The Bank shall require any of its successors or assigns, whether resulting from a purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization, conversion or a transfer of all or substantially all of its business or assets, to expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform its obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that it would be required to perform such obligations if no such succession or assignment had occurred.

(b) Payments to Estate or Trust . Any amounts due Executive hereunder shall be paid to Executive’s estate in the event of Executive’s death except as expressly provided herein; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may, in his discretion, provide for the payment of some or all of such amounts to a trust established by Executive.

WHEREAS , the Board of Directors of the Bank (the “ Board ”) considers the continued availability of Executive’s services to be important to the successful management and conduct of the Bank’s business, and wishes to assure the continued availability of Executive’s full-time services to the Bank as provided in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS , Executive is willing to continue to serve in the employ of the Bank on a full-time basis on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW , THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the parties hereby agree as follows:

(d) Performance Standards. During the Employment Period, Executive shall perform his duties in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Bank, as amended from time to time, such reasonable performance standards as the Board or the Chief Executive Officer

of the Bank has established or may hereafter establish in the exercise of good faith business judgment, including those set forth in the Bank’s Personnel Manual, as amended from time to time, and such Business Plans as the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank has established or may hereafter establish in the exercise of good faith business judgment.

(a) Term . The Employment Period shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall thereafter continue for a period of thirty-six (36) months unless extended as provided herein. On or before each anniversary of the Effective Date during the Employment Period (each an “ Anniversary Date ”), the Board, subject to the review process set forth in Section 2(b) hereof, may extend the Employment Period for an additional one (1) year so that the remaining term of the Employment Period shall then be thirty-six (36) months.

Protected Customer Information or Proprietary Information; (iii) disclose any information regarding the business activities of the Bank or its Affiliates to a governmental authority pursuant to a formal written request made by such governmental authority; and (iv) disclose any information required to be disclosed by Executive pursuant to an order or judicial process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however , that to the extent not prohibited by applicable state or federal law, Executive shall provide the Bank or the applicable Affiliate with at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of his intention to disclose information pursuant to subparagraph (iii) or (iv) of this Section 8(c).

(d) Cooperation in Legal Proceedings . During the Employment Period and for a period equal to three (3) years from the effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall, upon reasonable notice, furnish such cooperation, information and assistance to the Bank as may reasonably be required by the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank in connection with any pending or threatened judicial, administrative or arbitration proceeding or any investigation that is based on events or circumstances in which Executive had personal knowledge or involvement and in which the Bank or any of its Affiliates is or may become a party or target, except for proceedings instituted against Executive by the Bank or any governmental or regulatory authority, or proceedings instituted by Executive against the Bank to enforce the terms of this Agreement or any other duties or obligations of the Bank to Executive. The Bank, or if applicable, its Affiliate, shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Executive in providing such cooperation, information and assistance. Unless Executive’s appearance is compelled by a court order or other legal process, Executive shall not be obligated to devote more than two (2) days per calendar month in fulfilling his obligations under this Section 8(d), and the Bank or its Affiliate shall make reasonable accommodations to avoid interfering with any duties that Executive may then have to any client or other employer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(d) or this Agreement, while Executive will be encouraged to voluntarily provide sworn testimony where appropriate, Executive shall have no duty to provide sworn testimony in any judicial, arbitration or discovery proceeding except as may be required by any rule of procedure, subpoena or judicial process applicable to or enforceable against Executive, and in no case shall Executive be required to provide any testimony that, in the judgment of Executive, might or could expose him to civil liability or compromise his privilege against self incrimination. Any testimony given by Executive in such a proceeding shall be truthful, but in no event shall the content of any testimony given by Executive in such a proceeding constitute a breach of this Section 8(d) or any other provision of this Agreement. Executive may condition his providing of assistance and testimony hereunder on his receipt of an undertaking from the Bank that it will indemnify him for such actions to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(e) Remedies . Executive and the Bank stipulate that irreparable injury will result to the Bank and its Affiliates and their business and property in the event of Executive’s violation of any provision of this Section 8, and agree that, in the event of any such violation by Executive, the Bank, and if applicable, its Affiliates, will be entitled, in addition to any other rights, remedies and money damages that may then be available, to injunctive relief to restrain the violation hereof by Executive, Executive’s partners, agents, servants, employees and all persons acting for, under the direction or control of or in concert with Executive, and to such other equitable remedies as may then be available. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Bank or any Affiliate from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank or such Affiliate for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of money damages from Executive.

13

(f) Adjustment of Non-Solicitation Period . The Non-Solicitation Period shall be reduced from eighteen (18) months to ninety (90) days, but only with respect to the restrictions set forth in Subsection (b)(i) and Subsection (b)(iii) of Section 8 of this Agreement (and the prohibitions in Subsection (b)(viii) of Section 8 against aiding, abetting, inducing or conspiring with others to violate those restrictions), in the event that the Bank terminates Executive’s employment For Cause based on a repeated and material failure to achieve minimum objectives under a Business Plan established in accordance with Section 1(d) of this Agreement, or a repeated and material failure of Executive to meet reasonable performance standards established in accordance with Section 1(d) of this Agreement. The Non-Solicitation Period shall be reduced from eighteen (18) months to six (6) months, but only with respect to the restrictions set forth in Subsection (b)(i) and Subsection (b)(iii) of Section 8 of this Agreement (and the prohibitions in Subsection (b)(viii) of Section 8 against, aiding, abetting, inducing or conspiring with others to violate those restrictions), in the event that the Bank terminates this Agreement Without Cause or Executive terminates this Agreement for Good Reason, provided that, in either case, Executive executes and delivers to the Bank a writing, acceptable in form and substance to the Bank, that releases and waives any and all obligations that the Bank may have under Section 6(c) or 6(e) of this Agreement to pay Executive any Base Salary after the expiration of such six-month period, or to provide Executive (or upon his death, his surviving spouse and minor children, if any) with coverage under the Core Plans after the expiration of such six-month Non-Solicitation Period.

All payments provided in this Agreement shall be timely paid in cash or check from the general funds of the Bank.

This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to Executive’s employment with the Bank, and supersedes the Initial Agreement, any prior offer of employment, employment letter or other agreements or understandings between the Bank and Executive, whether oral or written, with respect thereto, except that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or compensation inuring to Executive of a kind provided for in any Core Plan or any separate plan or program established for the benefit of Bank employees generally, or any separate plan or program established after the date of this Agreement for the specific benefit of Executive. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that Executive is subject to receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this Agreement.

This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto and approved by the Board; provided that in no circumstances may this Agreement be modified or amended if such modification or amendment would not be

14

permitted under Code Section 409A. No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such waiver or estoppel. No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any provision or the implementation of any provision of this Agreement is finally determined to violate any applicable law, regulation or other regulatory requirement that is binding on the Bank, or to constitute an unsafe and unsound banking practice, Executive and the Bank agree to amend such provision to the extent necessary to remove or eliminate such violation or unsafe and unsound banking practice, and such provision shall then be applicable in the amended form.

Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void, and of no effect.

In the event any of the foregoing provisions of this Agreement are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 13, this Section 13 shall prevail.

(a) Rights Not Prejudiced . The Bank may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, but any termination by the Bank, other than For Cause, shall not prejudice any right of Executive to compensation or other benefits under this Agreement. Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after a termination For Cause as provided in Section 6(a) hereof.

(b) Suspension; Temporary Removal . To the extent permitted by Code Section 409A, if Executive is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Bank or an Affiliate by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(3) or (g)(1), the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank may in its discretion: (i) pay Executive all or part of the compensation withheld while the contract obligations were suspended; and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended.

(c) Removal; Prohibition . If Executive is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Bank or an Affiliate by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 181 8(e)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the contracting parties shall not be affected.

15

(d) Bank in Default . If the Bank is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1813(x)(1), all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the contracting parties.

(e) Regulatory Termination . All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of this Agreement is necessary for the continued operation of the institution: (i) by the Director of the OTS (or his designee) at the time the FDIC enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1823(c); or (ii) by the Director of the OTS (or his designee) at the time the Director (or his designee) approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to the operations of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.

(f) Certain Payments . Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121 and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(g) OTS Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no case shall the total Departure Compensation (defined below) paid to Executive upon the termination of his employment with the Bank, regardless of the reason, exceed three (3) times Executive’s Average Annual Regulatory Compensation (defined below). The term “ Departure Compensation ” shall mean any payments and other things of value that the Bank makes or provides to Executive upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Bank, but shall not mean or include any Prorated Incentive Compensation (defined above) that the Board determines was earned by Executive prior to the Effective Date of termination, any Earned Salary (defined above) or any Accrued Plan Contributions (defined above). The term “Average Annual Regulatory Compensation ” shall mean the average of Executive’s annual Regulatory Compensation (defined below) based on the most recent three (3) tax years, or if Executive was employed by the Bank for less than three (3) full tax years, based on such lesser number of tax years or portions thereof as Executive was employed by the Bank. The term “ Regulatory Compensation ” shall mean, for the purposes of the foregoing definition as it relates to any tax year, any payment of money or provision of any other thing of value by the Bank to Executive in consideration of Executive’s employment, including, without limitation, Base Salary, commissions, bonuses, pension and profit-sharing plans, severance payments, retirement, director or committee fees, fringe benefits, payment of expense items without accountability or business purpose or that do not meet Internal Revenue Service requirements for deductibility by the association. In the event that the total Departure Compensation that becomes due to Executive under this Agreement exceeds three (3) times Executive’s Average Annual Regulatory Compensation, the aggregate payments or other things of value constituting Departure Compensation shall be reduced to a lesser amount, the value of which shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than three (3) times Executive’s Average Annual Regulatory Compensation. In such a case, the reduction shall be allocated among the components of such payments and other things of value in the manner designated by Executive.

16

All payments required to be made to Executive under this Agreement shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Bank reasonably determines should be withheld pursuant to any applicable state or federal law or regulation.

If, for any reason, any provision of this Agreement, or any part of any provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision that is not held invalid, and each such other provision and part thereof shall to the full extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect. Without limiting the foregoing, if any provisions of Section 8 of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of applicability, the court making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope, duration or area of applicability, or all of them, and such provision shall then be applicable in the modified form.

The headings of sections and paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

The validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without regard or reference to any principles of conflicts of law of the State of Illinois, except to the extent that such internal laws are preempted by the laws of the United States or the regulations of the OTS or any other agency of the United States.

(a) Arbitration . Except for claims, cases or controversies based on or arising out of Section 8 of this Agreement (“ Section 8 Claims ”), all claims, cases or controversies arising out of or in connection with either this Agreement, Executive’s employment with the Bank or the termination or cessation of such employment (collectively, “ Employment Claims ”), whether asserted against the Bank, an Affiliate (as defined below), and/or an officer, director or employee of the Bank or an Affiliate, and whether based on this Agreement or existing or subsequently enacted or adopted statutory or common law doctrines, shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted by JAMS Endispute or a successor entity (“ JAMS ”) in Chicago, Illinois, in accordance with the then applicable Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS, or in the event JAMS or a successor in interest of JAMS no longer provides arbitration services, by the American Arbitration Association or a successor entity (the “ AAA ”) in accordance with its then applicable National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. The costs and fees imposed by JAMS or the AAA for conducting such arbitration shall be borne equally by Executive and the Bank unless the arbitrator determines otherwise. The award rendered by the

17

arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding upon Executive, the Bank and any other parties to such proceeding, and may be entered and enforced as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Employment Claims subject to arbitration hereunder shall include, but shall not be limited to, those arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, including the amendments of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the law of contract, the law of tort, and other claims under federal, state or local statutes, ordinances and rules or the common law. Executive and the Bank acknowledge that by agreeing to arbitration they are relinquishing all rights they have to sue each other for Employment Claims that do not constitute Section 8 Claims and any rights that they may have to a jury trial on Employment Claims that do not constitute Section 8 Claims.

(b) Section 8 Claims . All Section 8 Claims shall be brought, commenced and maintained only in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction situated in the County of Cook or the County of DuPage, State of Illinois. Executive and the Bank each hereby (i) consents to the exercise of jurisdiction over his or its person and property by any court of competent jurisdiction situated in the County of Cook or the County of DuPage, State of Illinois for the enforcement of any claim, case or controversy based on or arising under Section 8 of this Agreement; (ii) waives any and all personal or other rights to object to such jurisdiction for such purposes; and (iii) waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court.

(a) Indemnification, Advancement and Insurance . The Bank shall, subject to the conditions and findings set forth in 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121: (i) provide Executive (including his heirs, executors and administrators), at the Bank’s expense, with insurance under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that reasonably and adequately insures Executive for his acts and omissions as a director, officer or employee of the Bank and its subsidiaries; (ii) indemnify Executive (and his heirs, executors and administrators) against all judgments entered and settlements made in any pending or threatened action and any appeal or other proceeding for review of such action, regardless of whether such action is a judicial or administrative proceeding, if such action was brought or threatened because Executive is or was a director, officer or employee of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) indemnify Executive (and his heirs, executors and administrators) against all and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, actually paid or incurred by Executive in defending or settling any such action, or in enforcing Executive’s rights to indemnification under this Section 19; and (iv) to the extent that the Bank is not then authorized by applicable law to provide such indemnification, advance Executive his reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, arising from the settlement or defense of any such action, subject to the Bank’s receipt of a written undertaking from Executive to repay all costs and expenses so advanced if Executive is later determined not to be entitled to indemnification. In the event that 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121 or the provisions of the Bank’s bylaws or charter that relate to indemnification and the advancement of expenses are hereafter amended, such amendment shall apply to the Bank’s obligations under this Section 19, but only to the extent that it increases the Bank’s authority to indemnify or advance expenses to Executive beyond the authority that was provided, or reduces any limitations on such authority that were imposed, by 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121

18

and the provisions of the Bank’s bylaws or charter on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Bank shall have no obligations under this Section 19 or under any provision of its charter or bylaws to provide indemnification or advance expenses to Executive in connection with any pending or threatened action, and any appeal or other proceeding for review of such action, regardless of whether such action is a judicial or administrative proceeding, if such action was brought or threatened because Executive is or was a director, officer or employee of a person or Legal Entity that is not or was not an Affiliate of the Bank, or because of any duty or alleged duty arising out of a past or present employment, contractual or other legal relationship between Executive and a Legal Entity that is or was not an Affiliate of the Bank. Any payments made to Executive pursuant to this Section 19 shall be subject to and conditioned upon compliance with the applicable provisions of 12 U.S.C. 1828(k), as amended, and 12 C.F.R. Section 545.121, as amended, and any rules or regulations promulgated in connection with therewith.

(b) Procedures . Any request for indemnity or the advancement of expenses shall be made in a written notice delivered by Executive to the General Counsel of the Bank. The notice shall describe with reasonable particularity the claim that has been made or threatened against Executive and the reasons why Executive believes that it is lawful and appropriate for the Bank to indemnify or advance expenses to him in connection with such claim. Following the delivery of such written notice, the Board shall, as soon as practicable and by no later than its next regularly scheduled Board meeting, adopt a resolution by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of its members (i) determining in good faith and on the basis of reasonable evidence or other information whether or not Executive, in connection with such claim, was acting in good faith within the scope of his employment or authority as he perceived it under the circumstances and for a purpose he could reasonably have believed under the circumstances was in the best interests of the Bank, and (ii) determining whether or not the Bank will approve or deny Executive’s request subject to any regulatory notification requirements; provided, however , that if the Board lacks sufficient evidence or other information at the time of such meeting to make the determination set forth in Subsection (i) of this Section 19(b), the Board shall adopt a resolution at such meeting by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of its members determining whether or not the Bank will advance Executive the reasonable costs of defending or settling such claim, subject to such undertakings by Executive as may be required by applicable law. The Board shall provide Executive with a copy of each such resolution promptly after its adoption.

(a) Payment to Executive . Except as provided in Section 18(a) hereof, in the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with any provision of this Agreement other than Section 8 hereof is resolved on the merits in favor of Executive pursuant to an arbitration award or final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected), the Bank shall be obligated to pay Executive, within thirty (30) days after the date on which such judgment becomes final and not subject to further appeal, all reasonable costs and legal fees paid or incurred by Executive in connection with such dispute or controversy.

19

(b) Payment to Bank . Except as provided in Section 18(a) hereof, in the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with Section 8 of this Agreement is resolved on the merits in favor of the Bank pursuant to an arbitration award or final judgment, order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for appeal therefrom having expired and no appeal having been perfected), Executive shall be obligated to pay the Bank, within thirty (30) days after the date on which such judgment becomes final and not subject to further appeal, all reasonable costs and legal fees paid or incurred by the Bank in connection with such dispute or controversy.

Executive has heretofore advised the Bank and hereby represents that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of the obligations hereunder do not and will not conflict with, or result in any default, violation or breach of any contract or agreement to which Executive is a party, or of any legal duty of Executive.

The rights and obligations of Executive and the Bank under Sections 6, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment and the termination or expiration of this Agreement. All other rights and obligations of Executive and the Bank shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive such termination only to the extent that they expressly contemplate future performance and remain unperformed.

(a) Continuing Rights and Obligations . This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, Executive and his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, and the Bank and its successors and assigns. The Bank shall require any of its successors or assigns, whether resulting from a purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization, conversion or a transfer of all or substantially all of its business or assets, to expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform its obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner and to the same extent that it would be required to perform such obligations if no such succession or assignment had occurred.

(b) Payments to Estate or Trust . Any amounts due Executive hereunder shall be paid to Executive’s estate in the event of Executive’s death except as expressly provided herein; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may, in his discretion, provide for the payment of some or all of such amounts to a trust established by Executive. In the event that Executive desires that such amounts be paid to a trust, Executive shall notify the Bank of such intention in writing and comply with any requirements of applicable law.

(a) To the extent that any of the terms and conditions contained herein which were modified by this amended and restated agreement constitute an amendment or modification of the time or manner of payment under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (as defined

20

under Code Section 409A), then to the extent necessary under the transitional guidance under Internal Revenue Service Notice 2007-86, this Agreement constitutes an amendment to, and a new election under, such deferred compensation plan, in order to properly modify the time or manner of payment consistent with such guidance.

(b) It is intended that the Agreement shall comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and the Treasury regulations relating thereto so as not to subject Executive to the payment of additional taxes and interest under Code Section 409A. In furtherance of this intent, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions, and to the extent that any regulations or other guidance issued under Code Section 409A would result in the Executive being subject to payment of additional income taxes or interest under Code Section 409A, the parties agree to amend the Agreement to maintain to the maximum extent practicable the original intent of the Agreement while avoiding the application of such taxes or interest under Code Section 409A.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary if, as of the effective date of Executive’s termination of employment, he is a “Specified Employee,” then, only to the extent required pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), payments due under this Agreement which are deemed to be deferred compensation shall be subject to a six (6) month delay following the Executive’s separation from service. For purposes of Code Section 409A, all installment payments of deferred compensation made hereunder, or pursuant to another plan or arrangement, shall be deemed to be separate payments and, accordingly, the aforementioned deferral shall only apply to separate payments which would occur during the six (6) month deferral period and all other payments shall be unaffected. All delayed payments shall be accumulated and paid in a lump-sum catch-up payment as of the first day of the seventh-month following separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Executive) with all such delayed payments being credited with interest (compounded monthly) for this period of delay equal to the prime rate in effect on the first day of such six-month period. Any portion of the benefits hereunder that were not otherwise due to be paid during the six-month period following the termination shall be paid to the Executive in accordance with the payment schedule established herein.

(d) The term “ Specified Employee ” shall mean any person who is a “key employee” (as defined in Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof), as determined by the Bank based upon the 12-month period ending on each December 31 ^st (such 12-month period is referred to below as the “identification period”). If Executive is determined to be a key employee under Code Section 416(i) (without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) during the identification period he shall be treated as a Specified Employee for purposes of this Agreement during the 12-month period that begins on the April 1 following the close of such identification period. For purposes of determining whether Executive is a key employee under Code Section 416(i), “compensation” shall mean Executive’s W-2 compensation as reported by the Bank for a particular calendar year.
