                    AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This Agreement was originally   effective as of March 1, 2006 by and between
Fairport Savings Bank (the "Bank"), a   federally-chartered   savings   association
with its principal executive office at 45 South Main Street,   Fairport, New York
14450,   and Dana   Gavenda   ("Executive").   The   Agreement   has been   amended and
restated on September   24, 2008 and   effective as of March 1, 2006,   in order to
comply   with   certain   changes in the law made by Section   409A of the   Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

     WHEREAS,   the Bank   wishes to assure   itself of the   continued   services of
Executive for the period provided in this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS,   Executive   is willing to   continue   to serve in the employ of the
Bank on a full-time basis for said period.

     NOW, THEREFORE,   in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,
and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter provided, the parties hereby
agree as follows:

1.    POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES

     (a) During   the period of his   employment   hereunder,   Executive   agrees to
serve as President and Chief Executive Officer,   and as a member of the Board of
Directors (the "Board"), of the Bank. During said period,   Executive also agrees
to serve, if elected,   as an officer and director of any subsidiary or affiliate
of the Bank.   Failure to reelect   Executive as the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Bank   without   the consent of   Executive   during the term of this
Agreement shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.

     (b) During the period of his   employment   hereunder,   except for periods of
absence   occasioned by illness,   reasonable   vacation   periods,   and   reasonable
leaves of absence,   Executive shall devote   substantially all his business time,
attention,   skill,   and   efforts to the   faithful   performance   of his duties as
President and Chief   Executive   Officer of the Bank,   including   overseeing   and
directing   the   day-to-day    operations   and   management   of   the   Bank;   making
recommendations to the Board regarding   asset/liability   management,   long-range
planning and   compensation of officers;   promoting the business of the Bank; and
such   other   duties   as the   Board   may   from   time to time   reasonably   direct.
Provided,   however,   that with the   approval   of the Board,   as   evidenced   by a
resolution   of the Board,   Executive   may serve,   or continue   to serve,   on the
boards of directors   of, and hold other   offices or positions   with   business or
not-for-profit   organizations,   which, in the Board's   judgment,   do not compete
with the Bank or will not present any   conflict   of interest   with the Bank,   or
materially   affect   the   performance   of   Executive's   duties   pursuant   to this
Agreement   (for purposes of this Section 1(b),   Board   approval   shall be deemed
provided   as to   service   with any such   business   or other   organizations   that
Executive was serving as of the date of this Agreement).

2.    TERM

      The period of Executive's employment under this Agreement shall begin as of
the date first above written and shall continue for a period of thirty-six   (36)
full calendar months   thereafter.   Commencing on the first   anniversary   date of
this   Agreement   and   continuing   at   each   anniversary   date   thereafter,   this

<PAGE>

Agreement   shall renew for an additional year such that the remaining term shall
be three (3) years;   provided,   however,   that after the initial thirty-six (36)
month term of this   Agreement,   if written   notice of   nonrenewal is provided to
Executive   at least ten (10) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to any
anniversary   date, the employment of Executive   hereunder shall cease at the end
of twelve (12) months   following   such   anniversary   date.   Prior to each notice
period for non-renewal,   the   disinterested   members of the Board will conduct a
performance   evaluation   and review of   Executive   for   purposes of   determining
whether to extend the   Agreement,   and the results   thereof shall be included in
the minutes of the Board's meeting and communicated to Executive.

3.    COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT

     (a) The   compensation   specified under this Agreement shall   constitute the
salary and   benefits   paid for the duties   described in Section   1(b).   The Bank
shall pay Executive as   compensation a salary of not less than $140,000 per year
("Base   Salary"),   which Base   Salary   shall be payable in   accordance   with the
normal   and   customary   payroll   practices   of the   Bank,   but in no event   less
frequently than monthly.   During the period of this Agreement,   Executive's Base
Salary   shall be reviewed at least   annually   and such Base Salary   shall not be
less than $147,500 for the twelve (12) months   beginning   March 1, 2007, and not
less than   $155,000   for the twelve (12) months   beginning   March 1, 2008.   Such
review shall be conducted by a Committee   designated by the Board, and the Board
may increase,   but not decrease,   Executive's   Base Salary (any increase in Base
Salary   shall   become the "Base   Salary"   for   purposes of this   Agreement).   In
addition   to the Base   Salary   provided   in this   Section   3(a),   the Bank shall
provide Executive, at no cost to Executive,   with all such other benefits as are
provided   uniformly to permanent   full-time   employees of the Bank.   Base Salary
shall   include   any   amounts   of    compensation    deferred   by   Executive   under
tax-qualified and nontax-qualified plans maintained by the Bank.

     (b)   The   Bank   will   provide     Executive   with   employee    benefit   plans,
arrangements   and   perquisites    substantially   equivalent   to   those   in   which
Executive was participating or otherwise deriving benefit from immediately prior
to the beginning of the term of this Agreement,   and the Bank will not,   without
Executive's prior written consent, make any changes in such plans,   arrangements
or   perquisites   which would   adversely   affect   Executive's   rights or benefits
thereunder, unless such change is part of a change in benefits applicable to all
employees   of the Bank in   connection   with a bank-wide   benefit   plan.   Without
limiting the   generality of the foregoing   provisions   of this   Subsection   (b),
Executive   will be   entitled to   participate   in or receive   benefits   under any
employee   benefit   plans   including   but   not   limited   to,    retirement   plans,
supplemental   retirement   plans,   pension   plans,   profit-sharing   plans,   stock
benefit   plans,   health-and-accident   plans,   medical   coverage   and   any   other
employee benefit plan or arrangement made available by the Bank in the future to
its senior   executives and key management   employees,   subject to and on a basis
consistent with the terms,   conditions and overall   administration of such plans
and arrangements.   Executive will be entitled to incentive   compensation   and/or
bonuses as   provided in any plan of the Bank in which   Executive   is eligible to
participate   (and he shall be   entitled   to a pro rata   distribution   under   any
incentive   compensation   or bonus plan as to any year in which a termination   of
employment    occurs,    other   than    termination   for   Cause).    Such   incentive
compensation   and/or bonuses shall be based on Executive's   performance   and the
performance and financial condition of the Bank. Nothing paid to Executive under

                                       2
<PAGE>

any such plan or arrangement will be deemed to be in lieu of other   compensation
to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement.

     (c) In addition to the Base Salary   provided for by   paragraph   (a) of this
Section 3, the Bank shall pay or reimburse   Executive for all reasonable   travel
and   other   reasonable    expenses    incurred   by   Executive   in   performing   his
obligations under this Agreement and may provide such additional compensation in
such form and such amounts as the Board may from time to time determine.

     (d)   Executive   shall be   entitled to five (5) weeks of paid   vacation   per
calendar   year,   or such greater   period as may be approved from time to time by
the Board of Directors.   In the event that the full vacation is not taken in any
year due to the work commitments of Executive, Executive may carry over any such
unused   vacation   time from year to year unless such   carryover is prohibited by
law or regulation. Upon any termination of Executive, Executive will be entitled
to be paid the value of any accrued or   accumulated   vacation   time and shall be
required to reimburse   the Bank for the value of any vacation time taken but not
yet accrued.

     (e)   Executive   shall   also be   entitled   to an   automobile   of the   Bank's
selection   to be used by   Executive   in   rendering   services to the Bank and for
limited personal use, together with reimbursement for all gas, oil, maintenance,
insurance and repairs   required by reason of the use of such vehicle.   Executive
shall be   required   to account   for all costs of use of such   automobile   in the
manner prescribed by the Board.

4.    PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON AN EVENT OF TERMINATION

     (a) Upon the   occurrence   of an Event of   Termination   (as herein   defined)
during   Executive's term of employment   under this Agreement,   the provisions of
this Section shall apply. As used in this   Agreement,   an "Event of Termination"
shall mean and include any one or more of the following:

     (i)   the   termination   by the   Bank   of   Executive's   full-time   employment
          hereunder for any reason other than following a Change in Control,   as
          defined in Section 5(a) hereof,   or termination   for Cause, as defined
          in   Section 8 hereof,   or upon   Retirement   as   defined   in   Section 7
          hereof, or for Disability as set forth in Section 6 hereof; and

     (ii) Executive's   resignation from the Bank's employ,   upon any (A) failure
           to elect or reelect or to appoint or reappoint   Executive as President
          and Chief   Executive   Officer   of the   Bank,   unless   consented   to by
          Executive,   (B) material change in Executive's   function,   duties,   or
          responsibilities,   which   change would cause   Executive's   position to
          become   one of lesser   responsibility,   importance,   or scope from the
          position and attributes thereof described in Section 1 above, to which
          Executive   has not agreed in   writing   (and any such   material   change
          shall be deemed a continuing breach of this Agreement), (C) relocation
          of   Executive's   principal   place of   employment by more than 30 miles
          from   its   location   at the   effective   date   of the   Agreement,   or a
          material   reduction in the benefits and   perquisites to Executive from
          those   being   provided   as of the   effective   date of   this   Agreement

                                       3
<PAGE>
           (unless   such   reduction   is part of a   reduction   in   benefits to all
          employees of the Bank in connection with a bank-wide benefit plan), or
          (D) material breach of this Agreement by the Bank.

     Upon the   occurrence of any event   described in clauses (ii) (A), (B), (C),
or (D)   above,   Executive   shall   have   the   right to   elect   to   terminate   his
employment   under this Agreement by   resignation   upon not less than thirty (30)
days prior   written   notice   given   within a   reasonable   period of time (not to
exceed90   days)   after   the event   giving   rise to said   right to   elect,   which
termination by Executive   shall be an Event of Termination;   provided,   however,
that the Bank shall have 30 days following its receipt of such written notice to
cure the   situation   identified   by   Executive   as the   basis   for the   Event of
Termination.    Notwithstanding   the   preceding   sentence,   in   the   event   of   a
continuing   breach of this   Agreement by the Bank,   Executive,   after giving due
notice within the   prescribed   time frame of an initial event   specified   above,
shall not waive any rights   solely   under   this   Agreement   and this   Section by
virtue of the fact that Executive has submitted his resignation but has remained
in the   employment   of the Bank and is   engaged   in good   faith   discussions   to
resolve any   occurrence   of an event   described in clauses (A), (B), (C), or (D)
above.

     (b) Upon the   occurrence   of an Event of   Termination,   the Bank   shall pay
Executive,   or,   in the   event   of his   subsequent   death,   his   beneficiary   or
beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, as severance pay or liquidated
damages, or both, a cash amount equal to the greater of the payments due for the
remaining term of the Agreement,   or three (3) times the sum of: (i) the highest
annual rate of Base Salary paid to Executive   at any time under this   Agreement,
and (ii) the greater of (x) the average annual cash bonus paid to Executive with
respect   to   the   three   (3)   completed   fiscal   years   prior   to the   Event   of
Termination,   or (y) the cash bonus paid to Executive with respect to the fiscal
year ended prior to the Event of Termination; provided however, that if the Bank
is not in compliance with its minimum   capital   requirements or if such payments
would   cause   the   Bank's   capital   to be   reduced   below   its   minimum   capital
requirements,   such payments shall be deferred until such time as the Bank is in
capital compliance; and provided further, that in no event shall total severance
compensation from all sources exceed three (3) times Executive's   average annual
compensation   over the five (5) fiscal years   preceding the fiscal year in which
the   termination   of employment   occurs (for purposes of this provision and only
for purposes of this provision,   compensation shall mean any payment of money or
provision of any other thing of value in consideration of employment, including,
without   limitation,   base   salary,   commissions,   bonuses,   pension   and profit
sharing   plans,   severance   payments,   retirement,   director or committee   fees,
fringe   benefits,   and the payment of expense   items without   accountability   or
business   purpose   or that do not   meet the   Internal   Revenue   Service   ("IRS")
requirement   for   deductibility   by the Bank).   The present value of the payment
required hereunder shall be made in a lump sum within thirty (30) days following
Executive's   "Separation   from   Service,"   as   defined   in   Code   Section   409A,
provided,   however,   if Executive is a "Specified   Employee," as defined in Code
Section 409A, then,   solely to the extent required to avoid penalties under Code
Section   409A,   such payment shall be delayed until the first day of the seventh
full month following   Executive's   Separation from Service.   For these purposes,
present value shall be determined   using the applicable   federal rate under Code
Section   1274(d).   Such   payments   shall not be reduced   in the event   Executive
obtains other employment following termination of employment.

                                        4

     (c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination,   the Bank will cause to
be continued at the Bank's   expense,   life,   insurance   coverage and non-taxable
medical and dental   insurance   that is   substantially   identical to the coverage
maintained by the Bank for   Executive   prior to his   termination,   except to the
extent such coverage may be changed in its   application   to all Bank   employees.
Such   coverage   shall   cease   thirty-six   (36)   months   following   the   Event of
Termination.

5.    CHANGE IN CONTROL

     (a) No benefit   shall be payable   under this   Section 5 unless   there shall
have   been a Change   in   Control,   as set   forth   below.   For   purposes   of this
Agreement,   a "Change in Control"   shall mean a change in control of the Bank or
the Bank's   mid-tier   holding   company (the "Company") or mutual holding company
(the "MHC"),   of a nature that: (i) would be required to be reported in response
to Item 1(a) of the current report on Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof,
pursuant   to Section   13 or 15(d) of the   Securities   Exchange   Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange   Act");   or (ii) without   limitation such a Change in Control shall be
deemed to have occurred at such time as (a) any "person" (as the term is used in
Sections   13(d) and 14(d) of the   Exchange   Act) is or becomes   the   "beneficial
owner"   (as   defined   in   Rule   13d-3   under   the   Exchange   Act),   directly   or
indirectly, of securities of the Bank or the Company representing 25% or more of
the combined   voting   power of Bank's or the   Company's   outstanding   securities
except for any securities   purchased by the Bank's employee stock ownership plan
or trust;   or (b)   individuals   who constitute the Board on the date hereof (the
"Incumbent   Board")   cease for any   reason   to   constitute   at least a   majority
thereof,   provided   that any person   becoming a director   subsequent to the date
hereof whose election was approved by a vote of at least   three-quarters   of the
members of the entire Board of Directors then in office shall be considered, for
purposes of this clause (b), as though he were a member of the Incumbent   Board;
or   (c) a   plan   of   reorganization,   merger,   consolidation,   sale   of   all   or
substantially   all the assets of the Bank or the Company or similar   transaction
in which the Bank or Company is not the surviving   institution   occurs; or (d) a
proxy statement soliciting proxies from
