ITEM 5.02

DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

The Amended Agreement, which is effective as of August 30, 2016, has an initial term expiring on December 31, 2018.  Beginning on January 1, 2019 and on each January 1^st thereafter, the term of the Amended Agreement will be extended for a period of one additional year, unless either the Employers give notice to Ms. Stewart or Ms. Stewart gives notice to the Employers in writing at least 60 days prior to such date that the term of the Amended Agreement will not be extended further.   If any party gives timely notice that the term will not be extended as of any such January 1^st, then the Amended Agreement will terminate at the conclusion of its remaining term.

Ms. Stewart's annual minimum base salary under the Amended Agreement will be the same as her current base salary, which is $367,370.  The Amended Agreement, consistent with the Prior Agreement, provides for: no salary reductions; participation in bonus plans, retirement plans, group insurance and other benefits provided to full time Bank employees generally and in which executive officers participate; and reimbursement of expenses incurred by Ms. Stewart in performing services for the Employers.

Under the Amended Agreement, if Ms. Stewart's employment is terminated for any reason other than cause, death, retirement, or disability, or if she resigns following certain events such as relocation or demotion, she will be entitled to receive for the remaining term of the Amended Agreement: (i) her salary and (ii) at no premium cost to Ms. Stewart, the same group health benefits and other group insurance and group retirement benefits as Ms. Stewart would have received had she continued to be employed by the Employers, to the extent that the Employers can do so under the terms of applicable plans as are maintained by the Employers for the benefit of their executive officers from time to time.  All of the foregoing payments are subject to cut-back to the extent the payments are deemed "parachute payments" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

The foregoing summary of the Amended Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
