(e) On October 31, 2011, City National Bank of New Jersey (the “Bank”) and City National Bancshares Corporation, a New Jersey corporation (“CNBC” and sometimes collectively with the Bank referred to as “we” or “us”) entered into a one year employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) effective as of November 1, 2011 with our Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Preston D. Pinkett, III, to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer at an annual cash salary of $265,000 per year. In addition, Mr. Pinkett is entitled to receive twenty thousand shares of our stock payable evenly over the one year term of the Agreement. Mr. Pinkett is also entitled to a $1,200 per month auto allowance.

In the Employment Agreement, Mr. Pinkett has agreed that following (i) voluntary termination by him of his employment for any reason other than as a result of a material breach of his employment agreement by us, (ii) termination of his employment by us for cause, or (iii) expiration of his employment agreement as a result of his failure to accept our offer of a renewal of the employment agreement, he will not compete with us or any of our affiliates for a period of one (1) year following such termination within a 30 mile radius from the Bank's main office located at 900 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey or within a three mile radius from the location of any branch of the Bank existing as of the date of such termination.

In addition, the Employment Agreement provides that its terms are subject to the laws, rules, and guidance of the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief (“TARP”) Program Capital Purchase Program and that until we are no longer a participant in and subject to the TARP Capital Purchase Program rules and guidance the Board of Directors of the Bank and CNBC (collectively, the “Board”) can unilaterally and without Mr. Pinkett’s consent amend any of the provisions of his Employment Agreement, including, but not limited to, reducing the amount of compensation and benefits provided therein, if in the Board’s sole judgment the modification is necessary to comply with the mandatory application of the U.S. Department of Treasury’s rules and guidance governing executive compensation of participants of the TARP Capital Purchase Program.

On October 31, 2011, we also executed an amendment effective September 1, 2011 to Mr. Pinkett’s prior employment agreement of March 1, 2011 memorializing that the term thereof ended October 31, 2011. The amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.2.
