other creditor having a general claim for matured and unpaid compensation. The
Bank reserves the absolute right in its sole discretion to either purchase
assets to meet its obligations undertaken by this Agreement or to refrain from
the same and to determine the extent, nature, and method of such asset
purchases. Should the Bank decide to purchase assets such as life insurance,
mutual funds, disability policies or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute
right, in its sole discretion, to terminate such assets at any time, in whole or
in part. At no time shall the Executive be deemed to have any lien, right, title
or interest in or to any specific investment or to any assets of the Bank. If

13
upon the life of the Executive, then the Executive shall assist the Bank by
freely submitting to a physical examination and by supplying such additional
information necessary to obtain such insurance or annuities.

of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by the Executive
or his Beneficiary, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of
bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise. In the event the Executive or any
Beneficiary attempts assignment, communication, hypothecation, transfer or

and terminate.

employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to
qualified individuals.
8.2 Claims Procedure and Arbitration. In the event that benefits under this
Agreement are not paid to the Executive (or to his Beneficiary in the
case of the Executive's death) and such claimants feel they are
entitled to receive such benefits, then a written claim must
14
be made to the Administrator within sixty (60) days from the date
payments are refused. The Bank and its Board of Directors shall review
the written claim and, if the claim is denied, in whole or in part,
they shall provide in writing, within ninety (90) days of receipt of
such claim, their specific reasons for such denial, reference to the
provisions of this Agreement upon which the denial is based, and any
additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim. Such
writing by the Bank and its Board of Directors shall further indicate
the additional steps which must be undertaken by claimants if an
additional review of the claim denial is desired.
If claimants desire a second review, they shall notify the
Administrator in writing within sixty (60) days of the first claim
denial. Claimants may review this Agreement or any documents relating
thereto and submit any issues and comments, in writing, they may feel
appropriate. In its sole discretion, the Administrator shall then
review the second claim and provide a written decision within sixty
(60) days of receipt of such claim. This decision shall state the
specific reasons for the decision and shall include reference to
specific provisions of this Agreement upon which the decision is based.
If claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon
completed performance of this Agreement or the meaning and effect of
the terms and conditions thereof, then claimants may submit the dispute
to mediation, administered by the American Arbitration Association
("AAA") (or a mediator selected by the parties) in accordance with the
AAA's Commercial Mediation Rules. If mediation is not successful in
resolving the dispute, it shall be settled by arbitration administered
by the AAA under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the
award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof.

intention of the Bank to make contributions to the rabbi trust to
provide the Bank with a source of funds to assist it in meeting the
liabilities of this Agreement. The rabbi trust and any assets held
therein shall conform to the terms of the rabbi trust agreement which
has been established in conjunction with this Agreement. To the extent
the language in this Agreement is modified by the language in the rabbi
trust agreement, the rabbi trust agreement shall supersede this
Agreement. Any contributions to the rabbi trust shall be made during

contribution(s) shall be equal to the full present value of all benefit
accruals under this Plan, if any, less: (i) previous contributions made

shall be established in the event of a Change in Control, into which
the Bank shall make a contribution only in such event. If the Executive
dies prior to this contribution being made, then the Executive's
Beneficiary is entitled to the Survivor's Benefit beginning within
thirty (30) days payable over the Payout Period. The contribution shall
be the full present value, using an appropriate discount rate, of the
retirement benefit specified in Subsection 1.18; provided, however, in
no event shall the contribution be less than an amount which is
sufficient to provide the Executive with after-tax benefits (assuming a
constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of the
Change in Control) beginning at his Benefit Age equal in amount to that
benefit which would have been payable to the Executive if no secular
trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued
under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. In the event that such
contribution is made to the secular trust, Executive, at his sole
discretion, shall have the right to receive the funds at such time and
in such manner as can be supported by the contributed amount.
SECTION X
AMENDMENT/REVOCATION
This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or revoked at any
time, in whole or part, without the mutual written consent of the Executive and
the Bank, and such mutual consent shall be required even if the Executive is no
longer employed by the Bank.
