On March 28, 2008, the Board of Directors of Salisbury Bank and Trust
Company (the "Bank"), the wholly-owned banking subsidiary of Salisbury Bancorp,
Inc. (the "Corporation"), approved Change in Control Agreements (the
"Agreements") with the following executive officers of the Bank : John F.
Perotti, Richard J. Cantele, Jr., John F. Foley, Todd M. Clinton, Diane E.R.
Johnstone, Joseph C. Law, Lana J. Morrison, Sharon A. Pilz, Geoffrey A. Talcott,
Melanie K. Neely, Gerard J. Baldwin, Darrell S. Long, Elizabeth A. Summerville,
Diane Farrell and Roberta Reed (the "Executives").
The Agreements provide that if following a "Change in Control" (as
defined in the Agreements) of the Company or the Bank, an Executive is
terminated or is reassigned under certain circumstances defined in the
Agreements within a period of twelve (12) months following such Change in
Control, such Executive will be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to his or
her annual compensation based upon the most recent aggregate base salary paid to
the Executive in the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding his or her
termination or reassignment. In addition, for twelve (12) months following a
Change in Control, certain specified insurance benefits shall continue in effect
on terms and conditions at least as favorable to the Executives as maintained
immediately prior to the Change in Control. In no event shall such payments be
made in an amount that would cause them to be deemed non-deductible to the Bank
by reason of the operation of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. The
Agreements provide that they shall be administered in a manner, and all
provisions shall be interpreted to be, compliant with Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of the Agreements is to provide certain
potential benefits to the Executives solely in the event of a Change in Control
and do not provide a contract for employment. The Agreements will expire on
September 30, 2010, provided that if a "Change in Control" occurs prior to
September 30, 2010, the Agreements shall remain in effect for twelve (12) months
after the date on which any such Change in Control is consummated.
A copy of the form of the Agreements is attached as Exhibit 10.1.
