Article 2
Phantom Restricted Stock
Allocation
The Executive’s Phantom
Restricted Stock Account (“Phantom Stock Account”) was
established with an initial allocation of _______ shares of Phantom
Stock as of the Effective Date of this Agreement and a subsequent
allocation of an additional ____ shares of Phantom Stock as of
__________ __, _____ (collectively, the “Phantom Stock
Allocation”).
Article 3
Phantom Restricted Stock
Account
3.1 Establishing and
Crediting . The Company shall establish a Phantom Stock Account
on its books for the Executive. The value of the Phantom Stock
Account is determined as follows:
3.1.1 Valuation for Plan
Years 1 Through 10 . On October 31 of each Plan Year 1
through 10, the value of the Phantom Stock Account is determined by
multiplying the Phantom Stock Allocation by the Current Adjusted
Price Per Share, as defined below.
(a) “ Initial Price
Per Share ” is the beginning per share value of the
Phantom Stock, which is $10.00.
(b) “ Current
Adjusted Price Per Share ” is determined by increasing
the beginning of the Plan Year Phantom Stock value per share by the
Annual Growth Rate. In no event will the Current Adjusted Price Per
Share exceed $31.06 for valuation purposes. If there are
Extraordinary Items as defined in Section 3.1.3, the total
outstanding Phantom Stock shares may be adjusted.
4
(c) “ Annual Growth
Rate ” is determined by multiplying the percentage
increase in the Company’s Capital Account during the Plan
Year by the Adjustment Factor.
(d) “ Adjustment
Factor ” is determined by dividing the Company’s
Capital to Asset Ratio for the Plan Year by a base rate of 8.00
percent. If the Annual Growth Rate is negative in any Plan Year,
the Adjustment Factor for that year may not be less than
1.00.
(e) If the Annual Growth Rate
as determined above exceeds 12.00 percent for any Plan Year, the
rate used in the determination of the Current Adjusted Price Per
Share will be 12.00 percent. In addition, the excess above 12.00
percent may be carried over to subsequent Plan Years and added to
the Annual Growth Rate determined for that Plan Year to the extent
that the Annual Growth Rate in the subsequent Plan Year does not
exceed 12.00 percent. No amount above 12.00 percent may be carried
back to prior Plan Years.

Stock Account Balance . Unless otherwise specified in this
Agreement, no interest shall be credited to the Phantom Stock
Account during Plan Years 1 through 10.

Items . In the event of the Company’s merger with a
mutual institution, conversion to a stock company or other material
change in the Company’s total capitalization that occurs
after the establishment by the Company of the Executive’s
Phantom Stock Account, the number of outstanding Phantom Stock
shares subject to this Agreement may be adjusted appropriately by
the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive.
3.2 Statement of
Accounts . The Company shall provide to the Executive, within
120 days following the end of each Plan Year this Agreement is in

Account.

3.3 Accounting Device
Only . The Phantom Stock Account is solely a device for
measuring amounts to be paid under this Agreement. The Phantom
Stock Account is not a trust fund of any kind. The Executive is a
general unsecured creditor of the Company for the payment of
benefits. The benefits represent the mere Company promise to pay
such benefits. The Executive’s rights are not subject in any
manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by the
