                                   Article IV

                                   ----------

 

                           ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

 

                  4.01 Role of the Committee. The Plan shall be administered and

interpreted   by the Board of Directors   of the Bank or a Committee   appointed by

said Board, which shall consist of not less than two non-employee members of the

Board,   which   shall   have all of the powers   allocated   to it in this and other

sections of the Plan. All persons   designated as members of the Committee   shall

be   "Non-Employee   Directors"   within   the   meaning   of   Rule   16b-3   under   the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("1934 Act"). The interpretation and

construction by the Committee of any provisions of the Plan or of any Plan Share

Award granted   hereunder shall be final and binding.   The Committee shall act by

vote or written   consent of a majority   of its   members.   Subject to the express

provisions   and   limitations   of the Plan,   the   Committee may adopt such rules,

regulations   and   procedures   as it deems   appropriate   for the   conduct   of its

affairs.   The Committee   shall report its actions and decisions   with respect to

the Plan to the Board at appropriate   times,   but in no event less than one time

per   calendar   year.   The   Committee   shall   recommend   to the Board one or more

persons or entity to act as Trustee in   accordance   with the   provision   of this

Plan and Trust and the terms of Article VIII hereof.

 

                  4.02 Role of the Board.   The members of the   Committee and the

Trustee shall be appointed or approved by, and will serve at the pleasure of the

Board. The Board may in its discretion from time to time remove members from, or

add members to, the   Committee,   and may remove,   replace or add   Trustees.   The

Board shall have all of the powers allocated to it in this and other sections of

the   Plan,   may take any   action   under or with   respect   to the Plan   which the

Committee is authorized to take, and may reverse or override any action taken or

decision   made by the   Committee   under or with   respect to the Plan,   provided,

however,   that the Board may not revoke any Plan Share Award already made except

as provided in Section 7.01(b) herein.

 

                  4.03   Limitation   on   Liability.   No member of the Board,   the

Committee   or the   Trustee   shall be liable for any   determination   made in good

faith with respect to the Plan or any Plan Share Awards granted.   If a member of

the Board,   Committee   or any Trustee is a party or is   threatened   to be made a

party to any   threatened,   pending   or   completed   action,   suit or   proceeding,

whether   civil,   criminal,   administrative   or   investigative,   by any reason of

anything done or not done by him in such   capacity   under or with respect to the

Plan, the Company and the Bank shall indemnify such member against expenses

 

                                       3

 

<PAGE>

 

(including   attorney's   fees),   judgments,   fines and amounts paid in settlement

actually and reasonably   incurred by him or her in connection   with such action,

suit or   proceeding   if he or she acted in good   faith and in a manner he or she

reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, the Bank and its

Subsidiaries   and,   with respect to any criminal   action or   proceeding,   had no

reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.   Notwithstanding   anything

herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Bank take any actions with respect

to this   Section   4.03   which   is not in   compliance   with   the   limitations   or

requirements   set forth at 12 C.F.R.   545.121,   as may be   amended   from time to

time.

 

                                    Article V

                                    ---------

 

                        CONTRIBUTIONS; PLAN SHARE RESERVE

 

                  5.01   Amount   and   Timing   of   Contributions.    The   Board   of

Directors   of the Bank shall   determine   the amounts (or the method of computing

the amounts) to be contributed by the Bank to the Trust   established   under this

Plan.   Such   contribution   amounts   shall be paid to the   Trustee at the time of

contribution.   No contributions to the Trust by Participants   shall be permitted

except with respect to amounts necessary to meet tax withholding obligations.

 

                   5.02 Initial Investment.   Any funds held by the Trust prior to

investment   in the   Common   Stock   shall   be   invested   by the   Trustee   in such

interest-bearing   account or accounts at the Bank as the Trustee shall determine

to be appropriate.

 

                   5.03   Investment   of Trust Assets.   Following   approval of the

Plan   by   stockholders   of   the   Company   and   receipt   of any   other   necessary

regulatory approvals, the Trust shall purchase Common Stock of the Company in an

amount equal to up to 100% of the Trust's cash assets,   after   providing for any

required   withholding as needed for tax purposes,   provided,   however,   that the

Trust shall not purchase more than 8,331 shares of Common Stock. The Trustee may

purchase shares of Common Stock in the open market or, in the   alternative,   may

purchase   authorized but unissued   shares of the Common Stock or treasury shares

from the Company in an amount sufficient to fund the Plan Share Reserve.

 

                  5.04 Effect of Allocations,   Returns and Forfeitures Upon Plan

Share Reserves. Upon the allocation of Plan Share Awards under Sections 6.02 and

6.05, or the decision of the Committee to return Plan Shares to the Company, the

Plan Share   Reserve   shall be   reduced   by the   number of Shares   subject to the

Awards so allocated or   returned.   Any Shares   subject to an Award which are not

earned because of forfeiture by the   Participant   pursuant to Section 7.01 shall

be added to the Plan Share Reserve.

                  6.02   Allocations.   The Committee will determine   which of the

Eligible Participants will be granted Plan Share Awards and the number of Shares

covered by each Award,   provided,   however, that in no event shall any Awards be

made which will violate the Charter or Bylaws of the Bank or its Subsidiaries or

any   applicable   federal   or state law or   regulation.   In the event   Shares are

forfeited for any reason or additional Shares are purchased by the Trustee,   the

Committee may, from time to time,

 

                                       4

to be awarded from forfeited Shares. In selecting those Eligible Participants to
