The 2010 Change in Control Agreement shall continue in effect through December 31, 2011 and commencing on January 1, 2012 and for each January 1 thereafter, the 2010 Change in Control Agreement shall be automatically extended for one additional year unless the Bank or the Executive gives notice to the other party no later than September 30th of the preceding year that the 2010 Change in Control Agreement will not be extended.
