AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made
and entered into
this day

existing under the laws of the State of Georgia (hereinafter
referred to as the "Bank"),
and ,
a member of the Board of Directors of the Bank (hereinafter
referred to as the "Director").
WHEREAS , the Director
is now serving on the Board of the Bank (hereinafter referred to as
the "Board") and has for many years faithfully served the Bank. It
is the consensus of the Board of Directors that the Director's
services have been of exceptional merit, in excess of the
compensation. paid and an invaluable contribution to the profits
and position of the Bank in its field of activity. The Board
further believes that the Director's experience, knowledge of
corporate affairs, reputation and industry contacts are of such
value, and the Director's continued services so essential to the
Bank's future growth and profits, that it would suffer severe
financial loss should the Director terminate his/her service on the
Board;
ACCORDINGLY , the Board
has adopted the Citizens Trust Bank Director Supplemental
Retirement Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Director Plan")
and it is the desire of the Bank and the Director to enter into
this Agreement under which the Bank will agree to make certain
payments to the Director upon the Director's retirement and to the
Director's beneficiary(ies) in the event of the Director's death
pursuant to the Director Plan;
FURTHERMORE , it is the
intent of the parties hereto that this Director Plan be considered
an unfunded arrangement maintained primarily to provide
supplemental retirement benefits for the Director, and to be
considered a non-qualified benefit plan for purposes of—the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
("ERISA"). The Director is fully advised of the Bank's financial
status and has had substantial input in the design and operation of
this benefit plan; and
THEREFORE , in
consideration of services the Director has performed in the past
and those to be performed in the future, and based upon the mutual
promises and covenants herein contained, the Bank and the Director
agree as follows:

If such contracts of
life insurance are actually purchased by the Bank, then the actual
policies as of the dates they were actually purchased shall be used
in calculations under this Director Plan. If such contracts of life
insurance are not purchased or are subsequently surrendered or
lapsed, then the Bank shall receive annual policy illustrations
that assume the above-described policies were purchased, or. had
not subsequently surrendered or lapsed. Said illustrations shall be
received from the respective insurance companies and will indicate
the increase in policy values for purposes of calculating the
amount of the Index.
In either case,
references to the life insurance contracts are merely for purposes
of calculating a benefit. The Bank has no obligation to purchase
such life insurance and, if purchased, the Director and the
Director's beneficiary(ies) shall have no ownership interest in
such policy and shall always have no greater interest in the
benefits under this Director Plan than that of an unsecured
creditor of the Bank.

participant becomes eligible to participate, the election to defer
fees and compensation may only be made for fees and compensation

fees and compensation must be made no later than the close of the
preceding taxable year. Signed written statements filed under this
section, unless modified or revoked, shall be valid for all
succeeding years. Any modification or revocation of the Deferral
section of the Election Form as elected by the participant in the
signed written statement must be in writing at least twelve
(12) months prior to the date of the first scheduled payment
and shall not be effective earlier than twelve (12) months
after the modification is made. Additionally, such modification may
