                    the month immediately preceding the commencement of such

                    Plan Year.

 

2.3       Form of Deferral; Deferral Amounts.

 

          a.         Form of Deferral. The Director shall make the election

                    provided for in Section 2.1b, above, by executing a Deferred

                    Compensation Agreement in the form provided by the Bank. The

                    Deferred Compensation Agreement shall set forth the Stated

                    is the Key Executive may elect to defer up to $11,000 of his

                    salary earned and payable in each plan year in the Deferral

                    Period. The Administrative Committee may from time to time,

                    in its sole discretion, adjust the amount permitted to be

                    deferred hereunder.

 

2.4        Election to Defer Irrevocable. A Participant's election to defer

          Compensation shall be irrevocable.

 

3.         Benefits.

 

3.1        Termination Benefits.

 

          a.         Generally. The Bank shall pay to the Participant an amount

                    equal to the product of the Normal Benefit multiplied by the

                    Vested Percentage. The benefit shall be paid over a 15-year

                    period in monthly, quarterly or annual installments as the

                    Administrative Committee, in its sole discretion, shall

                    determine. Except as provided in Section 3.1c, below, such

                    payments shall commence on the first day of the month

                    coincident with or next following the later of the Normal

                    Benefit Date or the Participant's Termination of Service.

 

          b.         Vested Percentage. The Vested Percentage shall equal 25

                    percent for each Plan Year in the Deferral Period in which

                     the Participant completes his deferrals for such Plan Year,

                    but not more than 100 percent with respect to each Stated

                    Deferral. If a Participant's Termination of Service by

                    reason of Disability occurs during a Plan Year in the

                    Deferral Period, the Participant shall be deemed to have

                    completed the deferrals for such Plan Year. If a

                    Participant's Termination of Service for reasons other than

                    death or Disability occurs in a Plan Year prior to

                    completing the deferrals in such Plan Year, the Participant

                    may contribute to the Bank the amount that otherwise would

                    have been deferred in the balance of such Plan Year. The

                    contribution shall be made within 60 days after the

                    Participant's Termination of Service. Any Participant making

                    such a contribution shall be treated as having completed the

                    deferrals with respect to such Plan Year.

 

          c.         Early Termination. If a Participant's Termination of Service

                    occurs prior to the Normal Benefit Date, the Administrative

                     Committee, in its discretion but subject to the approval of

                    the Board of Directors, may permit the payment of benefits

                    under Section 3.1a to commence at any time prior to the

                    Normal Benefit Date, provided, however, that the benefits

                    calculated under Section 3.1a shall be reduced at the

                    annually compounded rate of 12.5 percent from the Normal

                    Benefit Date to the date of actual payment.

 

          d.         Incomplete Deferrals. In addition to the benefit payable

                    under Section 3.1a or Section 3.1c, above, if a

                    Participant's Termination of Service for reasons other than

                     death or

 

 

 

 

 

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

 

                    Disability occurs during a Plan Year and prior to completing

                    the deferrals with respect to such Plan Year, and if the

                    Participant does not contribute the remaining deferrals for

                    such Plan Year as described in Section 2.2b, above, the Bank

                    shall pay to the Participant his Actual Deferrals for such

                    Plan Year, together with interest compounded annually on

                    such amounts at the rate of 6 percent per annum. The Bank

                    shall pay such amount in a single payment within 60 days

                    after the Termination of Service.

 

3.2        Survivorship Benefits.

 

          a.         Death Prior to Commencement of Normal Benefits. If a

                    Participant dies prior to receiving any Normal Benefit

                    payments, the Bank shall pay to the beneficiary the

                     Pre-Termination Survivor's Benefit specified in the Benefit

                    Schedule. Such benefit shall be paid over a 15 year period

                    in monthly, quarterly, or annual installments as the

                    Administrative Committee, in its sole discretion, shall

                    determine, commencing on the first day of the month

                    coincident with or next following the Participant's death.

                    Payment of the Pre-Termination Survivor's Benefit shall

                    relieve the Bank of the obligation to pay any other benefits

                    under the Plan.

 

          b.         Death After Commencement of Benefits. If a participant dies

                    after commencement of Normal Benefit Payments but prior to

                    receiving all such payments, the Bank shall pay the

                    remaining payments to the Participant's beneficiary at the

                    same time as such payments would have been made to the

                     Participant.
