2.1 Normal Retirement Benefit. Upon the Executive's Termination of Employment on or after the Normal Retirement Age for reasons other than death or Termination for Cause, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in Section 2.1.1, less any reduction pursuant to Section 2.1.2, instead of any other benefit under this Agreement.

2.1.2 Benefit Reduction. The annual benefit under this Section 2.1 shall be reduced by the sum of the following amounts:

The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for life with 15 years of payments guaranteed.

2.1.4 Application of Reduction. If any benefit described in Subsection 2.1.2 is not payable as a single life annuity or does not commence at the same time as the Executive's benefit under this Agreement, the Bank shall, for purposes of this section, convert the value of such benefit into an actuarially equivalent single life annuity benefit commencing at the same time as the benefit under this Agreement. If the Executive would be entitled to a benefit described in Subsection 2.1.2, but for his failure to apply for such benefit, Subsection 2.1.2 will be applied as if the Executive had applied for and received the benefit. Changes in a benefit described in Subsection 2.1.2 that occur after commencement of the Executive's benefit under this Agreement, because of changes in the plan or program under which the benefit is provided or because of cost of living adjustments, will not change the amount of the reduction under Subsection 2.1.2 hereof.

2.2 Early Termination Benefit. Upon the Executive's Early Termination, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.2 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement.

2.2.1 Amount of Benefit. The Early Termination benefit under this Section 2.2 shall equal the Accrual Balance as of the date immediately preceding the Early Termination Date.

Beginning with the month after Normal Retirement Age, the Bank shall pay the Disability annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments on the first day of each month. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive for life, with 15 years of payments guaranteed.

2.4 Change in Control Benefit. If the Executive's employment with the Bank terminates for reasons other than a Termination for Cause within 36 months on or after the effective date of a Change in Control, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit described in this Section 2.4 instead of any other benefit under this Agreement. However, no benefits shall be payable if the Executive is terminated under Article 5 of this Agreement.

2.4.1 Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.4 shall equal the Normal Retirement benefit described in Section 2.1 of the Agreement, determined by projecting the Executive's Final Average Compensation under Section 2.1.2 to the Executive's Normal Retirement Age and using the assumptions set forth in Appendix A hereto.

The lump sum payment due to the Executive, beneficiaries, or estate as a result of a Change in Control shall be an amount equal to the actuarial equivalent of the Accrual Balance amount corresponding to the particular benefit then being paid to the Executive, beneficiaries, or estate after deduction of any benefits already paid during the period from Termination of Employment to payment of the lump sum amount.



ARTICLE 3
DEATH BENEFITS

3.1 Death During Active Service. Except as provided in Section 5.1, if the Executive dies in active service to the Bank before Normal Retirement Age, instead of any benefit payable under this Agreement, the Bank shall pay to the Executive's beneficiary(ies) the benefit the Executive would have received if the Executive had retired on the date immediately preceding his death and was deemed to be of Normal Retirement Age. The annual benefit shall be paid to the Executive's beneficiary(ies) for 15 years.

3.2 Death During Benefit Period. If the Executive dies after benefit payments under Article 2 of this Agreement have commenced but before receiving all such payments, the Bank shall pay the remaining benefits to the Executive's beneficiary(ies) at the same time and in the same amounts they would have been paid to the Executive had the Executive survived.

3.3 Death After Termination of Employment but Before Benefit Payments Commence. If the Executive is entitled to benefit payments under Article 2 but dies before payments commence, the benefits shall be payable to the Executive's beneficiary(ies), but payments shall commence on the first day of the month after the date of the Executive's death. Payments shall be made at the same time and in the same amounts they would have been paid to the Executive had the Executive survived.

3.4 Petition for Benefit Payments. If the Executive dies before receiving any or all benefit payments to which he is entitled under Section 2.1, Section 2.2, or Section 2.3, the Executive's beneficiary(ies) or estate may petition the Bank's Board of Directors to have the actuarially equivalent Accrual Balance corresponding to that particular benefit paid to the Executive's beneficiary(ies) or estate in a single lump sum after deduction of any benefits already paid hereunder. The Bank's Board of Directors shall have sole and absolute discretion about whether to pay the remaining Accrual Balance in a lump sum. If payment of the remaining Accrual Balance is paid in a single lump sum, the Bank shall have no further obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4
BENEFICIARIES

4.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Executive shall designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries by filing a written designation form with the Bank. The Executive may revoke or modify the designation at any time by filing a new designation. However, designations will be effective only if signed by the Executive and accepted by the Bank during the Executive's lifetime. The Executive's beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases the Executive, or if the Executive names a spouse as beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary designation, all payments shall be made to the Executive's estate.

4.2 Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incapacitated, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Bank may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incapacitated person or incapable person. The Bank may require such proof of incapacity, minority or guardianship as the Bank deems appropriate before distribution of the benefit. Distribution shall completely discharge the Bank from all liability for such benefit.

ARTICLE 5
GENERAL LIMITATIONS

5.1 Suicide or Misstatement. The Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive commits suicide within three years after the date of this Agreement. Additionally, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive has made any material misstatement of fact on any application or resume provided to the Bank, or on any application for any benefits provided by the Bank to the Executive.

5.2 Removal. If the Executive is removed from office or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by an order issued by the Bank's primary banking regulator, all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order.

ARTICLE 7
MISCELLANEOUS

7.1 Actuarial Equivalency.

7.3 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Executive and the Bank, and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, successors, administrators and transferees.

7.4 No Guarantee of Employment. This Agreement is not an employment policy or contract. It does not give the Executive the right to remain an employee of the Bank, nor does it interfere with the Bank's right to discharge the Executive at any time. It also does not require the Executive to remain an employee nor interfere with the Executive's right to terminate employment at any time.

7.5 Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached, or encumbered in any manner.

7.6 Successors; Binding Agreement.

The Bank's failure to obtain such an assumption agreement before the succession becomes effective shall be considered a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to the Change in Control benefit provided in Section 2.4.

7.7 Tax Withholding. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are required to be withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement.

7.8 Applicable Law. Except to the extent preempted by the laws of the United States of America, the validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such state.

7.9 Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and the Executive's beneficiary(ies) are general unsecured creditors of the Bank for the payment of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Bank to pay such benefits. The right to benefits under the Agreement are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Executive's life is a general asset of the Bank to which the Executive and beneficiary(ies) have no preferred or secured claim.

The named fiduciary may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operational responsibilities of the Agreement, including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.

7.12 Severability. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and each such other provision shall continue in full force and effect to the full extent consistent with law. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid in part, such invalidity shall in no way affect the remainder of the provision, and the remainder of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall continue in full force and effect to the full extent consistent with law.

7.13 Headings. The headings of sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.
