Related to Treatment of Parent Time Based Restricted Stock Awards

• Company Restricted Stock Units At the Effective Time of the First Merger, each Company Restricted Stock Unit then outstanding shall be assumed by Parent (each, an “Assumed RSU”). Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan and any applicable award or other agreement, each Assumed RSU shall be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (or an amount in respect thereof for cash settled Company Restricted Stock Unit) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Restricted Stock Unit multiplied by the Stock Award Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock). Each Company Restricted Stock Unit shall have the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger other than with respect to those Company Restricted Stock Units listed (i) in Section 5.9(c)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule that were subject to performance based vesting conditions prior to the date of this Agreement and that shall be deemed issued and vested in their entirety at the Effective Time of the First Merger and released from any forfeiture rights pertaining to such shares in favor of Company, Parent or Surviving Entity, and (ii) in Section 5.9(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which shall be deemed issued in their entirety at the Effective Time of the First Merger, which shall be converted into the right to receive Parent Common Stock according to the same formula applied to the Assumed RSUs above, and which shall be subject to quarterly vesting over a two-year period following the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of the 2006 Plan. Except as set forth in this Section 5.9(c). Company shall not take or permit any action that would accelerate vesting of any Company Restricted Stock Unit, except to the extent required by the terms of any such Company Restricted Stock Unit as in effect on the date hereof. Copies of the relevant agreements governing such Company Restricted Stock Unit and the vesting thereof have been provided to Parent. Except as set forth in this Section 5.9(c), all outstanding rights that Company may hold immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger to the forfeiture of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Restricted Stock Unit shall be assigned to Parent in the First Merger and shall thereafter be held by Parent upon the same terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the First Merger, except that the shares forfeitable pursuant to such rights shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the Stock Award Exchange Ratio.

• Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units The Executive acknowledges that as of the Resignation Date, the Executive was vested in Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) as reflected in the report attached as Exhibit A hereto. Except as specifically set forth herein, the Executive’s rights with respect to Stock Options and RSUs issued to him/her are governed by the Stock Option and Restricted Stock Unit Agreements entered into between the Executive and the Company, and the applicable Company equity incentive plan(s) and Notice(s) of Grant.

• Restricted Stock Awards Each Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Award Agreement, which shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

• Restricted Stock and Stock Options Employer shall cause the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Employer to review whether Employee should be granted shares of restricted stock and/or options to purchase shares of common stock of CBSI. Such review may be conducted pursuant to the terms of the Community Bank System, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, a successor plan, or independently, as the Compensation Committee shall determine. Reviews shall be conducted no less frequently than annually.

• Treatment of Restricted Stock Subject to Article III, Section C of the Plan and Section 13(b), in the event of a Change in Control, in the Company’s discretion, (i) the unvested shares of Restricted Stock may be continued (if the Company is the surviving entity); (ii) the unvested shares of Restricted Stock may be assumed by the successor entity or parent thereof; (iii) the successor entity or parent thereof may substitute for the shares of unvested Restricted Stock a similar stock award with substantially similar terms; (iv) an appropriate substitution of cash or other securities or property may be made for the unvested shares of Restricted Stock based on the Fair Market Value of the Shares issuable upon vesting of the Restricted Stock at the time of the Change in Control; and/or (v) vesting of the unvested Restricted Stock may be accelerated upon the Change in Control.

• Company Restricted Stock Immediately prior to the Effective Time, any then-outstanding shares of Company Restricted Stock shall become fully vested and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such number of shares of Company Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon such acceleration to satisfy any applicable income and employment withholding Taxes (assuming a fair market value of a share of Company Common Stock equal to the closing price of the Company Common Stock on the last completed trading day immediately prior to the Closing). All shares of Company Common Stock then-outstanding as a result of the full vesting of the shares of Company Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any applicable income and employment withholding Taxes shall have the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

• Settlement of Restricted Stock Units 6.1 Subject to Section 9 hereof, promptly following the vesting date, and in any event no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such vesting occurs, the Company shall (a) issue and deliver to the Grantee the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Vested Units; and (b) enter the Grantee’s name on the books of the Company as the shareholder of record with respect to the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Grantee.

• Payment of Restricted Stock Units Payment of Restricted Stock Units that vest pursuant to this Section shall be made in Shares (or, if applicable, settlement in the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Change in Control), as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date. The Restricted Stock Units are intended to be exempt from application of Section 409A of the Code, and any ambiguities set forth herein shall be interpreted accordingly. However, to the extent that an exemption is not available and the Restricted Stock Units are “deferred compensation” subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the following provisions shall apply and shall supersede anything to the contrary set forth herein and in the Plan to the extent required for the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. In a Change in Control or Corporate Transaction the Award must be assumed, continued or substituted by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent Corporation and any Shares scheduled to be issued upon an applicable scheduled Vest Date may not be earlier issued unless the Change in Control or Corporate Transaction is also a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as described in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(iv) and an exemption is available and elected under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B) or such earlier issuance of the Shares is otherwise permitted by Section 409A of the Code. The Company retains the right to provide for earlier issuance of Shares in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code.

• Restricted Stock Units Subject to the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee restricted stock units (the “Restricted Stock Units”) as of the Grant Date. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive a Share of Common Stock if the Restricted Stock Unit becomes vested and non-forfeitable in accordance with Section 2 or Section 3 of this Agreement. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units unless and until the Restricted Stock Units become vested and non-forfeitable and such Shares are delivered to the Grantee in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. The Grantee is required to pay no cash consideration for the grant of the Restricted Stock Units. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Restricted Stock Units and related rights are nontransferable as provided in Section 5 of this Agreement, (ii) the Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture in the event the Grantee’s Continuous Status as an Employee or Consultant or Non-Employee Director terminates in certain circumstances, as specified in Section 6 of this Agreement, (iii) sales of Shares of Common Stock delivered in settlement of the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to the Company’s policies regulating trading by Employees and Consultants, including any applicable “blackout” or other designated periods in which sales of Shares are not permitted, (iv) Shares delivered in settlement will be subject to any recoupment or “clawback” policy of the Company, regardless of whether such recoupment or “clawback” policy is applied with prospective or retroactive effect, and (v) any entitlement to dividend equivalents will be in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. The extent to which the Grantee’s rights and interest in the Restricted Stock Units becomes vested and non-forfeitable shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.
