other Sections of the Plan. The interpretation and construction by the Committee
of any provisions of the Plan or of any Plan Share Award granted hereunder shall

if he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
ARTICLE V
CONTRIBUTION; PLAN SHARE RESERVE
5.01 Amount and Timing of Contributions. The Bank shall be permitted to
contribute to the Trust an amount sufficient to purchase up to 4% of the shares
of Common Stock issued by the Holding Company in connection with the Conversion
(including any shares issued at the time of the Conversion to the private
foundation being created in connection with the Conversion). Such amounts shall
be paid to the Trustee no later than the date required to purchase shares of
Common Stock for Awards made under this Plan. No contributions by Employees or
Outside Directors shall be permitted.
5.02 Initial Investment. Any amounts held by the Trust until such amounts
are invested in accordance with Section 5.03, 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; Creation of Plan Share Reserve. As soon as
practicable following the first shareholder meeting of the Holding Company
following the Conversion ("First Shareholder Meeting Date"), the Trustee shall
invest all of the Trust's assets exclusively in the number of shares of Common
Stock, designated by the Bank as subject to Awards made under the Plan, which
may be purchased directly from the Holding Company, on the open market, or from
any other source; provided, however that the Trust shall not invest in an amount
of Common Stock greater than 4.0% of the shares of the Common Stock sold in the
Conversion (including any shares issued at the time of the Conversion to the
private foundation being created in connection with the Conversion), which shall
constitute the "Plan Share Reserve" and provided, further that if the Trustee is
required to purchase such shares on the open market or from the Holding Company
for an amount per share greater than the price per share at which shares were
trading on the date the contributions therefor were made to the Trust, the Bank
shall have the discretion to reduce the number of shares to be awarded and
purchased. The Trust may hold cash in interest-bearing accounts pending
investment in Common Stock for periods of not more than one year after deposit.
The Trustee, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations and Section
5.01 hereof, shall purchase shares of Common Stock in the open market and/or
shall purchase authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock from the
Holding Company sufficient to acquire the requisite percentage of shares. Any
earnings received or distributions paid with respect to Common Stock held in the
Plan Share Reserve shall be held in an interest-bearing account. Any earnings
received or distributions paid with respect to Common Stock subject to a Plan
Share Award shall be held in an interest-bearing account on behalf of the
individual Recipient.
5.04 Effect of Allocations, Returns and Forfeitures Upon Plan Share
Reserves. Upon the allocation of Plan Share Awards under Sections 6.02 and 6.03
after acquisition by the Trustee of such shares, or the decision of the
Committee to return Plan Shares to the Holding Company, the Plan Share Reserve
shall be reduced by the number of Plan Shares so allocated or returned. Any
shares subject to an Award which may not be earned because of a forfeiture by
the Recipient pursuant to Section 7.01 shall be returned (added) to the Plan
Share Reserve.
ARTICLE VI
ELIGIBILITY; ALLOCATIONS
6.01 Eligibility. Employees and Outside Directors are eligible to receive
Plan Share Awards provided in Section 6.02.
6.02 Allocations. The Committee may determine which of the Employees and
Outside Directors referenced in Section 6.01 above will be granted Plan Share
Awards and the number of Plan Shares covered by each Award, including grants
effective upon the First Shareholder Meeting Date, provided, however, that the
number of Plan Shares covered by such Awards may not exceed the number of Plan
Shares in the Plan Share Reserve immediately prior to the grant of such Awards,
and provided further, that in no event shall any Awards be made which will
violate the Articles of Stock Charter Conversion, Articles of Incorporation,
Code of By-laws, or Plan of Conversion of the Holding Company or the Bank or any
applicable federal or state law or regulation and provided further that Awards
may not be granted at any time in which the Bank fails to meet its applicable
minimum capital requirements. In the event Plan Shares are forfeited for any
reason and unless the Committee decides to return the Plan Shares to the Holding
Company, the Committee may, from time to time, determine which of the Employees
or Outside Directors referenced in Section 6.01 above will be granted additional
Plan Share Awards to be awarded from forfeited Plan Shares. In selecting those
Employees or Outside Directors to whom Plan Share Awards will be granted and the
number of Plan Shares covered by such Awards, the Committee shall consider the
position and responsibilities of the eligible Employees or Outside Directors,
the length and value of their services to the Bank and its Affiliates, the
compensation paid to such Employees or Outside Directors, and any other factors
the Committee may deem relevant.
6.03 Form of Allocation. As promptly as practicable after a determination
is made pursuant to Section 6.02 that a Plan Share Award is to be made, the
Committee shall notify the Recipient in writing of the grant of the Award, the
number of Plan Shares covered by the Award, and the terms upon which the Plan
Shares subject to the Award may be earned. The stock certificates for Plan Share
Awards shall be registered in the name of the Recipient until forfeited or
transferred to the Recipient after such Award has been earned. The Committee
shall maintain records as to all grants of Plan Share Awards under the Plan.
6.04 Allocations Not Required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Sections 6.01 and 6.02, no Employee or Outside Director shall have any right or
entitlement to receive a Plan Share Award hereunder, such Awards being at the
total discretion of the Committee, nor shall the Employees or Outside Directors
as a group have such a right. The Committee may, with the approval of the Board
(or, if so directed by the Board, shall) return all Common Stock in the Plan
Share Reserve not yet allocated to the Holding Company at any time, and cease
issuing Plan Share Awards.
6.05. Distribution Election Before Plan Shares Are Earned. Notwithstanding
anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, an Employee or an Outside
Director who has received an allocation of Plan Shares in accordance with
Article VI may request in writing that the Committee authorize the distribution
to him or her of all or a portion of the Plan Shares awarded before the date on
which the Plan Shares become earned in accordance with Article VII. The decision
as to whether to distribute to any Employee or Outside Director who requests
distribution shall be made by the Committee, in its sole discretion. In
addition, the distribution shall be subject to the following parameters:
(a) The Committee shall be required to make a separate determination for
each request received by an Employee or Outside Director for
distribution.
(b) Any Plan Shares awarded shall be required to have a legend on the Plan
Shares confirming that the Plan Shares are subject to restriction and
transfer in accordance with the terms set forth in the Plan. This
legend may not be removed until the date that the Plan Shares become
earned in accordance with Article VII.
(c) The Plan Shares distributed shall be voted by the Trustee in
accordance with Section 7.04.
(d) Any cash dividends or other cash distributions paid with respect to
the Plan Shares before the date that the Plan Shares are earned shall
be paid to the Trustee to be held for the Employee or Outside
Director, whichever is applicable, until the date that the Plan Shares
are earned.
(e) At the date on which the Plan Shares are earned, the Trustee may
withhold from any cash dividends or other cash distributions held on
behalf of such Employee or Outside Director the amount needed to cover
any applicable withholding and employment taxes arising at the time
that the Plan Shares are earned. If the amount of such cash dividends
or distributions is insufficient, the Trustee may require the Employee
or Outside Director to pay to the Trustee the amount required to be
withheld as a condition of removing the legend on the Plan Shares.
ARTICLE VII
EARNING AND DISTRIBUTION OF PLAN SHARES; VOTING RIGHTS
7.01 Earning Plan Shares; Forfeitures.
(a) General Rules. Plan Shares subject to an Award shall be earned by a
Recipient at the rate of twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate number
of Shares covered by the Award at the end of each full twelve months
of consecutive service with the Bank or an Affiliate after the date of
grant of the Award. If the term of service of a Recipient terminates
as an Employee, as a Director and as a Director Emeritus prior to the
fifth anniversary (or such later date as the Committee shall
determine) of the date of grant of an Award for any reason (except as
specifically provided in Subsection (b) below or in Section 4.01
hereof), the Recipient shall forfeit the right to earn any Shares
subject to the Award which have not theretofore been earned.
In determining the number of Plan Shares which are earned, fractional
shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, provided
that such fractional shares shall be aggregated and earned, on the
fifth anniversary of the date of grant.
(b) Exception for Terminations due to Death and Disability.
Notwithstanding the general rule contained in Section 7.01(a) above,
all Plan Shares subject to a Plan Share Award held by a Recipient
whose term of service as an Employee and as a Director or Director
Emeritus with the Holding Company, Bank or an Affiliate terminates due
to death or Disability shall be deemed earned as of the Recipient's
last day of service with the Holding Company, Bank or an Affiliate as
a result of such death or Disability.
(c) Exception for Terminations after a Change in Control. Notwithstanding
the general rule contained in section 7.01(a) above, all Plan Shares
subject to a Plan Share Award held by a Recipient whose term of
service as an Employee with the Holding Company, Bank or an Affiliate
terminates involuntarily within 18 months following a Change in
Control or whose service as a Director or Director Emeritus terminates
involuntary (or who is not renominated or reelected to serve on the
Board of Directors of the Bank or the Holding Company or as a Director
Emeritus of the Bank or the Holding Company) within 18 months
following a Change of Control, shall be deemed earned as of the
Recipient's last day of service with the Holding Company, Bank or an
Affiliate. For this purpose, a material diminution of or interference
with the Recipient's duties, responsibilities and benefits as an
employee of the Holding Company or the Bank shall be deemed and shall
constitute an involuntary termination of employment to the same extent
as express notice of such involuntary termination. For this purpose,
"Change in Control" shall mean a change in control of the Holding
Company or the Bank within the meaning of 12 C.F.R. ss.225.41(b)
(other than a change of control resulting from a trustee or other
fiduciary holding shares of Common Stock under an employee benefit
plan of the Holding Company or the Bank or any of its Affiliates).
(d) Revocation for Misconduct. Notwithstanding anything hereinafter to the
contrary, the Board may by resolution immediately revoke, rescind and
terminate any Plan Share Award, or portion thereof, previously awarded
under this Plan, to the extent Plan Shares have not been delivered
thereunder to the Recipient, whether or not yet earned, in the case of
an Employee who is discharged from the employ of the Holding Company,
Bank or an Affiliate for cause (as hereinafter defined), or who is
discovered after termination of employment to have engaged in conduct
that would have justified termination for cause or, in the case of an
Outside Director who is removed from the Board of Directors of the
Bank and the Holding Company or an Affiliate for cause (as hereinafter
defined), or who is discovered after termination of service as an
Outside Director to have engaged in conduct which would have justified
removal for cause. "Cause" is defined as personal dishonesty, willful
misconduct, any breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit,
intentional failure to perform stated duties, or the willful violation
of any law, rule, regulation (other than traffic violations or similar
offenses) or order which results in a loss to the Holding Company,
Bank or any Affiliate or in a final cease and desist order.
7.02 Accrual of Dividends. Whenever Plan Shares are paid to a Recipient or
Beneficiary under Section 7.03, such Recipient or Beneficiary shall also be
entitled to receive, with respect to each Plan Share paid, an amount equal to
any cash dividends or cash distributions and a number of shares of Common Stock
or other assets equal to any stock dividends and any other assets distributions
declared and paid with respect to a share of Common Stock between the date the
Plan Shares are being distributed and the date the Plan Shares were granted.
There shall also be distributed an appropriate amount of net earnings, if any,
of the Trust with respect to any cash dividends or cash distributions so paid
out. Until the Plan Shares are vested and distributed to any such Recipient or
Beneficiary, such dividends, distributions and net earnings thereon, if any,
shall be retained by the Trust.
7.03 Distribution of Plan Shares.
(a) Timing of Distributions: General Rule. Plan Shares shall be
distributed to the Recipient or his Beneficiary, as the case may be,
as soon as practicable after they have been earned.
(b) Form of Distribution. All Plan Shares, together with any shares
representing stock dividends, shall be distributed in the form of
Common Stock. One share of Common Stock shall be given for each Plan
Share earned and payable. Payments representing accumulated cash
dividends and cash or other distributions (and earnings thereon) shall
be made in cash or in the form of such non-cash distributions.
(c) Withholding. The Trustee may withhold from any payment or distribution
made under this Plan sufficient amounts of cash or shares of Common
Stock to cover any applicable withholding and employment taxes, and if
the amount of such payment is insufficient, the Trustee may require
the Recipient or Beneficiary to pay to the Trustee the amount required
to be withheld as a condition of delivering the Plan Shares.
Alternatively, a Recipient may pay to the Trustee that amount of cash
necessary to be withheld in taxes in lieu of any withholding of
payments or distribution under the Plan. The Trustee shall pay over to
the Holding Company, the Bank or Affiliate which employs or employed
such Recipient any such amount withheld from or paid by the Recipient
or Beneficiary.
(d) Cessation of Payment. The Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to
Recipients or, if applicable, their Beneficiaries in the event of the
Bank's insolvency. The Bank shall be considered insolvent for purposes
of this RRP if the Bank is unable to pay its debts as they become due
or if a receiver is appointed for the Bank under applicable law. If
payments cease by reason of this subsection, payments will be resumed,
with appropriate make-up payments, once the Bank ceases to be
insolvent but only to the extent the payments were not made directly
by the Bank or its Affiliates.
7.04 Voting of Plan Shares. After a Plan Share Award has been granted, the
Recipient shall be entitled to direct the Trustee as to the voting of the Plan
Shares which are covered by the Plan Share Award and which have not yet been
earned and distributed to the Recipient pursuant to Section 7.03, subject to
rules and procedures adopted by the Committee for this purpose. All shares of
Common Stock held by the Trust as to which Recipients are not entitled to
direct, or have not directed, the voting, shall be voted by the Trustee in the
same proportion as Plan Shares which have been awarded and voted.

Beneficiaries) shall not be entitled to any such allocations until the Plan
Share Awards to which they relate are vested and distributed to those Recipients

administration of this Plan, including those incurred by the Trustee, shall be
borne by the Bank or the Holding Company.
