Article 2 – Purpose

The purpose of this Agreement is to further the growth and development of the Bank by providing Director with supplemental retirement income, and thereby encourage Director’s productive efforts on behalf of the Bank and the Bank’s shareholders, and to align the interests of the Director and those shareholders. The Bank promises to make certain payments to the Participant, or the Participant’s Beneficiary, at retirement, death, or upon some other qualifying event pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Article 3 – Definitions and Construction

It is intended that this Agreement comply and be construed in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). It is also intended that the Agreement be “unfunded” and maintained for a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Bank, for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and not be construed to provide income to the Director or Beneficiary under the Code prior to actual receipt of benefits.

Where the following words and phrases appear in the Agreement, they shall have the respective meanings set forth below, unless their context clearly indicates to the contrary:

3.1 “Accrued Liability Balance” shall mean the Bank shall account for the benefits provided to the Director under this Agreement in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applied in the manner required by the Bank’s primary Federal regulator. The Bank shall establish on its books a reserve account into which it shall accrue no less frequently than quarterly appropriate reserves for the obligations of the Bank under this Agreement, and from which it shall timely deduct payments by the Bank of benefits under this Agreement. The Bank shall not otherwise add to, subtract from, or adjust the balance of the Accrued Liability Balance except as necessary to conform with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as applied in the manner required by the Bank’s primary Federal Regulator. Notwithstanding the Bank’s agreement to create the Accrued Liability Balance and its accrual of reserved funds with said account, neither the Director, nor the Director’s spouse, any legal representative or Beneficiary of the Director, any successor in interest of any of them, or any other person, shall have any interest therein. All amounts so reserved shall continue for all purposes to be a part of the general assets of the Bank; and all legal and beneficial ownership of all amounts so reserved shall remain at all times in the Bank. To the extent that the Director, the Director’s spouse, any legal representative or Beneficiary of the Director, any successor in interest of any of them, or any other person acquires any right to receive payments from the Bank under this Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Bank; and such persons shall have no property interests in any specific assets of the Bank including without limitation, said reserves.

3.2 “Beneficiary” shall mean the person(s) designated by the Director, including the estate of the Director, entitled to a benefit under this Agreement.

3.3 “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Bank.

3.4 “Change in Control” shall mean a change in ownership or control of the Bank as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5) or any subsequently applicable published authority or guidance; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall (i) the conversion of the Bank to a stock bank and issuance of a controlling interest in the Bank’s stock to a mutual holding company parent owned by the Bank’s depositors (a “mutual Holding Company”), or to a middle tier stock holding company in which such Mutual Holding Company has a controlling interest (a “Middle Tier Holding Company”), or (ii) any transfer of Bank stock from any such Mutual Holding Company or Middle Tier Holding Company to any third party which does not result in the transfer of a controlling interest in the stock of the Bank, or (iii) any transfer by such Mutual Holding Company of Middle Tier Holding Company stock to any third party which does not result in the transfer of a controlling interest in the stock of the Middle Tier Holding Company, constitute a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement.

3.5 “Early Retirement Age” shall mean the date on which the Director attains age sixty-five (65)

3.6 “Final Base Fee” shall mean the total Board fees, committee fees and retainer earned by the Director during the Plan Year (i.e., the calendar year) ending immediately prior to the Plan Year in which the Director experiences a Separation from Service, if such Separation from Service occurs prior to the conclusion of the last regularly scheduled Board meeting for such Plan Year; and shall mean the total Board fees, committee fees and retainer earned by the Director during the Plan Year in which the Director experiences a Separation from Service, if such Separation from Service occurs at or after the conclusion of the last regularly scheduled Board meeting for such Plan Year. For accounting purposes, it shall be assumed that the Final Base Fee increases by 3% per year until Director’s Separation from Service.

3.7 “Separation from Service” shall mean that the Director has retired or otherwise has a termination of service with the Bank. For purposes of this Agreement, whether a termination of service has occurred is determined based on whether the facts and circumstances indicate that the Bank and Director reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed after a certain date, or that the level of bona fide services the Director would perform after such date would permanently decrease to no more than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period (or the full period of services to the Bank if the Director has been providing services to the Bank less than 36 months). Facts and circumstances to be considered in making this determination include, but are not

A Director will be presumed not to have separated from service where the level of bona fide services performed continues at a level that is fifty percent (50%) or more of the average level of service performed by the Director during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period. A Separation from Service will not be deemed to have occurred while the Director is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, provided Director has the right to continue service under an applicable statute or by contract.

3.8 “Termination for Cause” shall mean termination because of a Director’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, any breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than minor traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order, or material breach of any provision of this Agreement. In determining incompetence, the acts or omissions shall be measured against standards generally prevailing in the savings institutions industry.

3.9 “Vesting” or “Vested” shall mean: the Director shall be vested in the Accrued Liability Balance in accordance with the following schedule, from the date the Director first commences service with the Bank as a Director (it being understood and agreed that only continuous years of service as a Director of the Bank shall count for purposes of this vesting provision, and that no service with the Bank in any other capacity shall count for purposes of this vesting provision), to a maximum of one hundred percent (100%).

Total Years of Continuous Service As Director of the Bank		Vested (to a maximum of 100%)
0-6			0	%
7			25	%
8			50	%
9			75	%

The Plan Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit.

Article 5 – General Limitations

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not distribute any benefit under this Agreement if Director’s service is Terminated for Cause.

FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK

SUPPLEMENTAL DIRECTOR RETIREMENT AGREEMENT

If payments are scheduled to be made in installments, the first six (6) months of installment payments shall be delayed, aggregated, and paid instead on the first day of the seventh month, after which all installment payments shall be made on their regular schedule.

The Bank is entering into this Agreement upon the assumption that certain existing tax laws, rules and regulations will continue in effect in their current form. If any said assumptions should change and said change has a detrimental effect on this Agreement, then the Bank reserves the right to terminate or modify this Agreement accordingly. Any such termination or modification shall not be effective to decrease or restrict any Director’s Accrued Liability Balance under this Agreement, determined as of the date of amendment, unless agreed to in writing by the Director, and provided further, no amendment shall be made, or if made, shall be effective, if such amendment would cause all or any part of the benefits provided hereunder to be included in the gross income of the Director under Code Section 409A.

9.18 Arbitration of Disputes.

A. If a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement, or the breach hereof, and if such dispute is not settled within a commercially reasonable time (not to exceed sixty (60) days, through negotiations), the parties shall attempt in good faith to settle the dispute by mediation under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association before resorting to litigation. No resolution or attempted resolution of any dispute or disagreement pursuant to this Section shall be deemed a waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement or consent to any breach or default, unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party claimed to have waived or consented.

B. Any dispute or controversy not settled in accordance with the foregoing provision of this Section shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration to be conducted before three (3) arbitrators in Concord, New Hampshire in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Each party shall select one (1) such arbitrator and two (2) arbitrators so selected shall choose a third.

C. The parties covenant and agree that they will participate in such mediation and/or arbitration in good faith and that the Bank will bear the fees and expenses of such proceeding charged by the American Arbitration Association (including the fees of the arbitrators). In arbitration, the arbitrator shall not have the power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
