DIRECTOR EMRITUS PLAN

JOINDER AGREEMENT

Director of Affiliate Institution

The Hometown Bank (the “Bank”) and J. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (the “Director”) hereby agree, for good and valuable consideration, the value of which is hereby acknowledged, that the Director is entitled to receive Director Emeritus Fees in accordance with the Director Emeritus Plan (the “Plan”) established as of July 1, 1993, by the Bank as such Plan may now exist or hereafter be modified.

My monthly “Director Emeritus Fees” shall equal $1,500, payable beginning on the first day of the month subsequent to the later of (a) my termination of service in all capacities with the Bank other than as a director of the Shelby Savings Bank Division or (b) my attaining the age of 55. As of December 31, 1997, I am entitled to receive the monthly Director Emeritus Fees for a Benefit Period of 231 consecutive months. For each month that I serve as a director of Shelby Savings Bank, SSB (the “Affiliate Institution”) or as a director of the Shelby Savings Bank Division of the Bank in each case after December, 1997 my Benefit Period will be increased by one month, provided the maximum Benefit Period is 240 consecutive months. The Director Emeritus Fees shall increase during 14 annual consecutive period during the Benefit Period at the rate of 4% for each such annual adjustment with the first 4% increase to take place during the second year of the Benefit Period. In no event will there be more than 14 annual adjustments, even though the Benefit Period is longer than 15 years. By way of example, if the Director Emeritus Fees are equal to $1500 per month ($18,000 per year), then during the second year of the Benefit Period the amount payable shall be $1560 per month (or $18,720 per year), in the third year of the Benefit Period the amount shall be $1,622.40 per month (or $19,468.80 per year), etc.

In general, I understand that my receipt (or my Beneficiary’s receipt) of the Director Emeritus Fees (or survivor’s benefit) and the form or method of payment thereof shall be subject to all provisions of the Plan.

I understand that I must complete one year of service with the Bank as a director of the Shelby Savings Bank Division of the Bank in order to become vested in the benefits to be provided under the Plan, provided, I will nevertheless become vested in such benefit if I should die or become disabled during my first year of service as a director of the Shelby Savings Bank Division.

I hereby designate the following individuals as my “Beneficiary” and I am aware that I can subsequently change such designation by submitting to the Board of Directors, at any subsequent time, and in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, a written designation of the primary and secondary Beneficiaries to whom payment under the Plan shall be made in the event of my death prior to complete distribution of the benefits due and payable under the Plan. I understand that any Beneficiary designation made subsequent to execution of this Joinder Agreement shall become effective only when receipt thereof is acknowledged in writing by the Board of Directors.

PRIMARY BENEFICIARY:

SECONDARY BENEFICIARY:

I acknowledge that I have been provided with a copy of the Plan prior to my execution of this Joinder Agreement and that I have been advised that I will be provided by the Bank or the Administrator with any modifications hereinafter made to the Plan.

In consideration of the Bank permitting me to participate in the Plan pursuant to this Joinder Agreement, I do hereby relinquish and release all rights and claims that I have or might have, on my own behalf and on behalf of my estate and heirs, to benefits as a director of the Affiliate Institution under that certain Retirement Plan Agreement between the Affiliate Institution and the named directors therein dated July 1, 1995; and I do hereby acknowledge that I am not entitled to any other benefits from the Affiliate Institution (other than compensation voluntarily deferred by me, if any) based upon my service as a director of the Affiliate Institution.
