Executive Retirement Agreement, dated _____________[DATE OF PRIOR AGREEMENT]
("Original Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay Executive
certain amounts to make up for lost benefits caused by limitations imposed under
the tax laws on contributions that can be made to tax-qualified retirement plans
and by Executive's participation in the deferred compensation plan sponsored by
the Company.

     B. The Company and Executive wish to amend and restate the Original
Agreement, as provided herein, to conform it to the requirements of Section 409A
of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make other changes
as set forth herein.

                                    AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and
agreements hereinafter contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and legal sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

of Executive to which annual amounts shall be credited according to the terms of
this Agreement.

     "Affiliate" means an entity that is considered a single employer with the

in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving entity or pursuant to
which the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company are
converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of the
Company in which the holders of issued and outstanding shares of the common
stock of the Company immediately prior to the merger own more than fifty percent
(50%) of the combined voting power of the surviving corporation immediately
after the merger, (ii) the acquisition of shares of the Company's issued and
outstanding common stock in a single or a series of related transactions, if
immediately thereafter persons who owned shares of such common stock immediately
before such acquisition do not own more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined
voting power of the Company immediately after such acquisition, or (iii) the
sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company.

     "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     "Company" is defined in the first paragraph of this Agreement.

     "Deferred Compensation Plan" means the Amended and Restated Deferred
Compensation Plan, effective as of January 1, 2008, sponsored by the Company, as
such plan may be amended from time to time.

     "Designated Beneficiary" means the person or persons designated by
Executive to receive Benefits in the event of Executive's death before all
amounts credited to his Account have been paid to him. Executive shall designate
the Designated Beneficiary by delivering to the Company a Payment Election Form
that names the Designated Beneficiary and may change the Designated Beneficiary
from time to time by delivering to the Company a Designated Beneficiary Change
Form. Any such change shall be effective immediately after the form is delivered

Change Form (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B) pursuant to
which Executive changes the Designated Beneficiary

     "Employment Agreement" means Executive's employment agreement with the
Company and/or an Affiliate, as such agreement may be amended from time to time.

<PAGE>

     "Payment Trigger Event" is defined in paragraph a. of Article III.

     "Plan Year" means the calendar year.

     "Separation from Service" means Executive's "separation from service,"
within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(h), from the Company and all
Affiliates for any reason. Whether an entity is an "Affiliate" for purposes of
this definition of "Separation from Service" shall be determined by substituting
the language "at least 50 percent" in place of "at least 80 percent" each place
that it appears in Code Section 1563(a)(1), (2) and (3) (to determine if a
controlled group of corporations exists under Code Section 414(b)) and in Treas.
Reg. Section 1.414(c)-2 (to determine trades or businesses (whether or not
incorporated) that are under common control under Code Section 414(c)). A
Separation from Service shall be deemed to occur if the Company and Executive
reasonably anticipate that Executive will perform no further services for the
Company or an Affiliate (whether an employee or an independent contractor) or
that the level of bona fide services Executive will perform in the future
(whether as an employee or an independent contractor) will permanently decrease
to no more than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services
performed (whether as an employee or independent contractor) over the
immediately preceding 36-month period. An Executive on an authorized, bona fide
leave of absence shall experience a Separation from Service on the first day of
the seventh (7th) month of such leave, unless Executive's right to reemployment
with an Employer is provided by either statute or contract. A leave of absence
constitutes a bona fide leave of absence only if there is a reasonable
expectation that Executive will return to perform services for the Company or an
Affiliates. For purposes of the 36-month period described above, (i) if
Executive is on a paid bona fide leave of absence, Executive will be treated as
providing bona fide services at a level of equal to the level of services that
Executive would have been required to perform to receive the compensation paid
during the leave of absence, and (ii) unpaid bona fide leaves of absence are
disregarded.

     "Tax-qualified Plan" means any plan maintained by the Company or an
Affiliate that is intended to qualify under Code Section 401 (whether or not the
plan so qualifies).

                                   ARTICLE II
                        CREDITING OF BENEFITS TO ACCOUNT

     a. GENERAL. As of the close of each Plan Year, the Company shall credit to
Executive's Account an amount equal to the difference between

          (i)   employer contributions that would have been allocated to
                Executive's accounts under Tax-qualified Plans if limitations
                imposed by Code Section 401 and Executive's participation in the
                Deferred Compensation Plan are both disregarded, and

          (ii)  Annual Additions actually credited to Executive under
                Tax-qualified Plans.

The Company shall have the right to determine, in its sole discretion, which
limitations imposed by Code Section 401 are taken into account for purposes of
determining the amount under clause (i) above. In addition, as a condition to
the Company crediting Executive's Account in a Plan Year,

<PAGE>

the Company may require Executive to make elective deferrals (defined in Code
Section 402(g)(3)) to Tax-qualified Plans in an amount equal to the maximum
elective deferrals that the Executive is permitted to make under the Code for
such Plan Year.

     b. ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNT. As of the close of each Plan Year ending after
2004, the Company shall adjust the Account as of the end of such Plan Year to
reflect a rate of return (either positive or negative) equal to fifty percent
(50%) of return on average equity of common stock issued by the Company as of
December 31 of such calendar year (which return on average equity shall be
determined by the Company using such rounding conventions as it determines, in
its sole discretion, to be appropriate). The adjustment shall be made by
multiplying the fifty percent (50%) of return on average equity by the balance
in the Account on the first day of such Plan Year, and adding or subtracting the
resulting product from the credit balance.

     c. BALANCE OF ACCOUNT. The balance of the Account, as of any time, shall be
the sum of amounts deferred by Executive and credited to his Account on or
before such time, plus or minus adjustments to such Account under the
immediately preceding sentence on or before such time, less any amounts paid or
withdrawn from such Account on or before such time.

     d. EFFECT OF PAYMENT TRIGGER EVENT. After the occurrence of the Payment
Trigger Event elected by Executive, amounts that would otherwise be credited to
his Account for services performed after such Payment Trigger Event shall
instead be paid to him within sixty (60) days after the close of the Plan Year
in which such Services are performed.

                                   ARTICLE III
                               PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

     a. PAYMENT TRIGGER EVENTS. Amounts credited to Executive's Account shall be
paid to him on, or beginning on, the first day of the first month immediately
following the month in which one of the following events ("Payment Trigger
Event") occurs, as elected by Executive in a Payment Election Form:

          (i)   Separation from Service (defined below);

          (ii)  Attainment of age sixty-five (65);

          (iii) Any of the first five (5) anniversary dates following his
                Separation from Service, as specified by Executive in his
                Payment Election Form; or

          (iv)  Any of the first five (5) anniversary dates following his
                attainment of age sixty-five (65), as specified by Executive in
                his Payment Election Form.

     b. FORM OF PAYMENT - LUMP-SUM OR INSTALLMENT. Amounts credited to the
Account of Executive shall be paid to him in either a single lump-sum or in
equal annual installments over a period of five (5) years, as elected by
Executive in a Payment Election Form.

     c. ELECTIONS IRREVOCABLE. Executive may not change the Payment Trigger
Event or the form of payment after he elects the same.

<PAGE>

     d. REQUIRED DELAY IN PAYMENT FOR SPECIFIED EMPLOYEES. If Executive is a
specified employee, then notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this
Agreement, any amounts payable to him under this Agreement on account of a
Separation from Service that could cause him to be subject to the gross income
inclusion, interest and additional tax provisions of Code Section 409A(a)(1)
shall not be paid until after the end of the sixth calendar month beginning
after such Separation from Service (the "409A Suspension Period"). Within
fourteen (14) calendar days after the end of the 409A Suspension Period, the
Company shall pay Executive a lump sum payment in cash equal to the sum of all
payments delayed because of the preceding sentence, together with interest
thereon for the 409 Suspension Period calculated on such basis as the Company
determines to be appropriate. Thereafter, Executive shall receive any remaining
payments under this Agreement as if this paragraph d. of Article III were a not
a part of the Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive is a
"specified employee" if, as of the date of his Separation from Service, he is a
key employee of Company or its Affiliates, provided any of their stock is
publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise. Executive is a
"key employee" if he meets the requirements of Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i),
(ii) or (iii) (applied in accordance with the regulations thereunder and
disregarding Code Section 416(i)(5)) at any time during the twelve (12) month
period ending on a December 31. If Executive is a key employee as of such a
date, he is treated as a key employee for purposes of this Agreement for the
entire twelve (12) month period beginning on the April 1 that follows such
December 31. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph d. of Article III are
intended to comply with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(i) and shall be interpreted
and administered consistently therewith.

     e. PAYMENTS ON DEATH OF EXECUTIVE. If Executive dies before he is paid the
entire balance of his Account, then the Company shall pay the unpaid balance of
the Account, within ninety (90) days following his death, in a single lump-sum
to the primary or contingent Designated Beneficiary, as elected by Executive. If
a primary Designated Beneficiary does not survive Executive, then the share
otherwise payable to him shall be paid to the primary Designated Beneficiary's
estate; provided, however, that if Executive has designated a contingent
Designated Beneficiary, then such share shall be paid to the contingent
Designated Beneficiary. If the contingent Designated Beneficiary does not
survive Executive, then the share otherwise payable to him shall be paid to the
contingent Designated Beneficiary's estate.

     f. CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON PAYMENT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but only
to the extent required under federal banking law, the amount payable hereunder
shall be reduced to the extent that on the date of Executive's termination of
employment such reduction is necessary to avoid subjecting the Company or its
Affiliates to the loss of a deduction under Code Section 280G. In addition, any
payments made to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject
to and conditioned upon their compliance with 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k) and any
regulations promulgated thereunder.

     g. VALID ELECTION. No election made by Executive with respect to his
Account shall be valid or recognized by the Company unless the election is made
on a Payment Election Form or Designated Beneficiary Change Form that is
properly completed, duly signed and dated by the Executive, and delivered to the
Company.

<PAGE>

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                   ASSIGNMENT

     Except as otherwise is provided in this Agreement, it is agreed that
neither Executive nor a Designated Beneficiary shall have a right to commute,
sell, assign, transfer, encumber and pledge or otherwise convey the right to
receive any Benefits hereunder, which Benefits and the rights thereto are
expressly declared to be nonassignable and nontransferable.

                                    ARTICLE V
                            NO RETENTION OF SERVICES

     The Benefits payable under this Agreement shall be independent of, and in
addition to, any other benefits that may be paid
