In connection with Mr. Bartholomew's departure, the Bank and Mr. Bartholomew entered into a Consulting Agreement, dated September 16, 2014 (the "Consulting Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Bartholomew has agreed to assist in matters as may be requested by the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank.  The key provisions of the Consulting Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full Consulting Agreement, which may be found as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

The initial term of the Consulting Agreement shall end on the earlier of the hiring of a new Chief Financial Officer or March 1, 2015 (the "Initial Term").   Under the Consulting Agreement, the Bank will pay Mr. Bartholomew a monthly rate of $15,000.00 during the Initial Term.  On or before March 1, 2015, the Bank may, in its sole discretion, offer to extend the term of the Consulting Agreement for additional one month periods, and Mr. Bartholomew may accept or decline such offer in his sole discretion (any such term, a "Subsequent Term").  During a Subsequent Term, Mr. Bartholomew will be compensated $125.00 per hour for his services.  Moreover, the Bank will reimburse Mr. Bartholomew for reasonable business expenses.  The Consulting Agreement includes covenants related to non-disclosure of Trinity's or the Bank's confidential information and assigns all work developed by Mr. Bartholomew during his engagement with the Bank solely to Trinity and the Bank.
