Gentlemen:
The undersigned Trustee, ________________ ("Borrower"), not individually

Trust (the "Trust") effective __________, 199_, applies to you, PFSB Bancorp,
Inc., (hereinafter referred to as the "Lender"), for your commitment, subject to
all of the terms and conditions hereof and on the basis of the representations
hereinafter set forth, to make a loan available to the Borrower as hereinafter
set forth. The term "Bank" as used herein refers to Palmyra Savings, the
sponsoring employer of the Palmyra Savings Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
"ESOP").
SECTION ONE. THE TERM LOAN.

----------------
set forth, the Lender agrees to lend amounts to the Borrower, (the "Loan"), from
time to time during the period of this agreement up to but not including the

Amount") sufficient to permit the Borrower to acquire a number of shares
("Shares") of common stock, par value $0.01 ("Common Stock") of PFSB Bancorp,
Inc., a Missouri corporation, and the Holding Company of the Bank, equal to 8%
of the Shares issued in connection with the conversion of the Bank from the
mutual to stock form (the "Conversion").
The Loan is intended to be an "exempt loan" as described in Section
4975(d)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as
defined in Section 54.4975-7(b) of the Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations"),
as described in Section 408(b)(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") and as described in Department of Labor
Regulations Section 2550.408b-3 (collectively, the "Exempt Loan Rules").
1.2 THE NOTE. The disbursement of the Loan pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof
--------
shall be made against and evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower in the
form annexed hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Note"), such Note is to bear interest as hereinafter provided,
and to mature in forty (40) equal quarterly installments consisting of both
principal and interest amortized over a forty (40) month period in an amount
sufficient to repay all borrowed amounts plus interest, commencing on
___________ 31, 1999 and on the last day of each and every March, June,
September and December of each year thereafter, except that the final
installment in the amount of all principal and interest not sooner paid shall be
due on ___________ 31, 20__, the final maturity thereof.
Without regard to the principal amount of the Note stated on its face, the
actual principal amount at any time outstanding and owed by the Borrower on
account of the Note shall be the amount of the disbursement of the Loan made by
the Lender under Section 1.1 hereof less all payments of principal actually
received by the Lender. The amount of such disbursement made by the Lender and
any repayments of principal thereof shall be recorded by the Lender on its books
or records or, at its option, endorsed on the reverse side of the Note by the
Lender and the unpaid principal balance at any time so recorded or endorsed by
the Lender shall be prima facie evidence in any court or other proceedings
brought to enforce the Note of the principal amount remaining unpaid thereon.
1.3 EXEMPT LOAN RULES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
------------------
in this Loan and Security Agreement (the "Agreement") or in the Note, the
Borrower shall be obligated to make repayments of the Loan only to the extent
that such repayments when added to the repayments theretofore made during the
applicable plan year would not exceed an amount which would cause the
limitations of Section 415 of the Code to be exceeded for any ESOP participant.
Except as set forth in the next succeeding sentence and to the extent
permitted by applicable law, including, without limitation, the Exempt Loan
Rules, the principal amount of the Loan and any interest thereon shall be
payable solely from contributions (other than contributions of employer
securities) made to the Trust in accordance with the ESOP, and cash dividends
received on the Shares, to enable the Borrower to pay its obligations under the
Loan and from earnings attributable to the Shares and the investment of such
contributions and dividends.
The Lender acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no other recourse
against the Borrower for repayment of the Loan and that it shall have no
recourse against assets of the ESOP included in the Trust other than pursuant to
Sections 3 and 8 hereof.
SECTION TWO. INTEREST AND FEES.
2.1 INTEREST RATE. The Loan shall bear interest (which the Borrower
-------------
hereby promises to pay) prior to maturity (whether by lapse of time,
acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal at all times to the

rate reported in the Wall Street Journal on the date of the Conversion.

date of such prepayment in whole) and interest accruing after maturity shall be
due and payable upon demand. All interest on the Note shall be computed on the

the meaning of Section 54.4975-7(b) of the Regulations, and pledged as
collateral for such prior exempt loan, where the balance of such prior exempt
loan has been repaid with the proceeds of the disbursement of the Loan (the
"Pledged Shares" being hereinafter referred to as the "Collateral"). The

set forth in this Section 9 may only be exercised to the extent consistent with
the restrictions on remedies set forth in Section 408(b)(3) of ERISA and the
regulations thereunder and Section 4975(d)(3) of the Code and the regulations
