As with the severance agreements previously entered into with each of the Executive Officers, these severance agreements, provide for, among other things, a payment of two times (2x) annual base compensation for the immediately preceding calendar year and two times (2x) average annual bonus received for the last two calendar years immediately preceding a “Change in Control” of the Bank or the Company and termination of the Executive Officer’s employment within one year after such change in control for any reason. A copy of each Executive Officer’s Severance Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 , and incorporated herein by reference.
