This TRUST AGREEMENT dated _____________, 2005 BETWEEN, Chicopee Savings Bank, with its administrative office at ______________________ (hereinafter called the “Company”), and [TRUSTEE] with its administrative office at __________________________________ (hereinafter called the “Trustee”).

WITNESSETH THAT:

WHEREAS, the Company has approved and adopted an employee stock ownership plan for the benefit of its employees, the Chicopee Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (hereinafter called the “Plan”); and

WHEREAS, the Company has authorized the execution of this Trust Agreement and has appointed [ ] as Trustee of the Trust Fund created pursuant to the Plan; and

WHEREAS, [ ] has agreed to act as Trustee and to hold and administer the assets of the Plan in accordance with the terms of this Trust Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Trustee agree as follows:

Section 1. Creation of Trust

1.1 Trustee [ ] shall serve as Trustee of the Trust Fund created in accordance with and in furtherance of the Plan, and shall serve as Trustee until their removal or resignation in accordance with Section 6.

1.2 Trust Fund The Trustee hereby agrees to accept contributions from the Employer as defined in the Plan and amounts transferred from other qualified retirement plans from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Plan. All such property and contributions, together with income thereon and increments thereto, shall constitute the “Trust Fund” to be held in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

1.3 Incorporation of Plan. An instrument entitled “Chicopee Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan” is incorporated herein by reference, and this Trust Agreement shall be interpreted consistently with that Plan. All words and phrases defined in that Plan shall have the same meaning when used in this Trust Agreement.

1.4 Name. The name of this trust shall be “Chicopee Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust.”

1.5 Nondiversion of Assets. In no event shall any part of the corpus or income of the Trust Fund be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities under the Plan, except to the extent that assets may be returned to the Employer in accordance with the Plan where the Plan fails to qualify initially under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), or where they are attributable to contributions made by mistake of fact or in excess of the deductibility allowed under the Code.

Section 2. Investment of Trust Fund and Administrative Powers of the Trustee.

2.1 Stock and Other Investments. The basic investment policy of the Plan shall be to invest primarily in Stock of the Employer for the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries. The Committee shall have full and complete investment authority and responsibility with respect to the purchase, retention, sale, exchange, and pledge of Stock and the payment of Stock Obligations, and the Trustee shall not deal in any way with Stock except in accordance with their obligations pursuant to this Trust Agreement and the written instructions of the Committee. The Trustee shall invest, or keep invested, all or a portion of the Trust Fund in Stock, and shall pay Stock Obligations out of assets of the Trust Fund, as instructed from time to time by the Committee. The Trustee shall invest any balance of the Trust Fund (the “Investment Fund”) in such other property as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall deem advisable, subject to any delegation of such investment responsibility pursuant to Section 2.2. Nothing contained herein shall provide investment discretion authority or any like kind responsibility in regard to the assets of the Trust Fund.

In connection with instructions to acquire Stock, the Trustee may purchase newly issued or outstanding Stock from the Employer or any other holders of Stock, including Participants, Beneficiaries, and Plan fiduciaries. All purchases and sales of Stock shall be made by the Trustee at fair market value as determined by the Committee in good faith and in accordance with any applicable requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Such purchases may be made with assets of the Trust Fund, with funds borrowed for this purpose (with or without guarantees of repayment to the lender by the Employer), or by any combination of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement or the Plan, neither the Committee nor the Trustee shall make any purchase, sale, exchange, investment, pledge, valuation, or loan, or take any other action involving those assets for which they are responsible which (i) is inconsistent with the policy of the Plan and Trust, (ii) is inconsistent with the prudence and diversification requirements set forth in Sections 404(a)(1)(B) and (C) of ERISA (to the extent such requirements apply to an employee stock ownership plan and trust), (iii) is prohibited by Section 406 or 407 of ERISA, or (iv) would impair the qualification of the Plan or the exemption of the Trust under Sections 401 and 501, respectively, of the Code.

2.2 Delegation of Investment Responsibility. The Committee may, by written notice and in accordance with the Plan, direct the Trustee to segregate any portion or all of the Investment Fund into one or more separate accounts for each of which full investment responsibility will be delegated to an investment manager appointed in such notice pursuant to Section 402(c)(3) of ERISA (hereinafter a “Manager”). For any separate account where the Trustee is to maintain custody of the assets, the Trustee and the Manager shall agree upon procedures for the transmittal of investment instructions from the Manager to the Trustee, and the Trustee may provide the Manager with such documents as may be necessary to authorize the Manager to effect transactions directly on behalf of the segregated account.

Further, the Committee may, by written notice and in accordance with the Plan, direct the Trustee to segregate any portion or all of the Investment Fund into one or more separate accounts for each of which full investment responsibility will be delegated to an insurance company through one or more group annuity contracts, deposit administration contracts, or similar contracts, which may provide for investments in any commingled separate accounts established under such contracts. An insurance company shall be a Manager with respect to any amounts held under such a contract except to the extent the insurer’s assets are not deemed assets of the Plan and Trust Fund pursuant to Section 401(b)(2) of ERISA. The allocation of amounts held under such a contract among the insurer’s general account and one or more individual or commingled separate accounts shall be determined by the Committee except as otherwise agreed by the Committee and the insurer.

Any Manager shall have all of the powers given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.3 with respect to the portion of the Trust Fund committed to its investment discretion and control. The Trustee shall be responsible for the safekeeping of any assets which remain in their custody, but in no event shall the Trustee be under any duty to question or make any inquiry or suggestion regarding the action or inaction of a Manager or an insurer or the advisability of acquiring, retaining, or disposing of any asset of a segregated account. The Employer shall indemnify and hold the Trustee harmless from any and all costs, damages, expenses, and liabilities which the Trustee may incur by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee upon directions from the Committee, a Manager, or an insurer pursuant to this Section 2.2.

2.3 Trustee Powers. In addition to and not by way of limitation upon the fiduciary powers granted to it by law, the Trustee shall have the following specific powers, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1:

2.3-1 to receive, hold, manage, invest and reinvest the money or other property which constitutes the Trust Fund, without distinction between principal and income;

Whenever such voting rights are to be exercised, the Employer, the Committee and the Trustee shall see that all Participants and Beneficiaries are provided with adequate opportunity to deliver their instructions to the Trustee regarding voting of stock allocated to their accounts.

Section 3. Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Payment of Expenses and Taxes.

3.1 Fees and Expenses from Fund. In consideration for rendering services pursuant to this Trust Agreement the Trustee shall be paid fees in accordance with the Trustee’s fee schedule as in effect from time to time. Fee changes resulting in fee increases shall be effective upon not less than 30 days’ notice to the Company. In addition, the Trustee shall be reimbursed for any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in the administration of the Trust created hereby. Fees and expenses shall be allocated to Participants’ Accounts, if any, unless paid directly by the Employer. All compensation and expenses of the Trustee shall be paid out of the Trust Fund or by the Employer as specified in the Plan. If and to the extent the Trust Fund shall not be sufficient, such compensation and expenses shall be paid by the Employer upon demand. If payment is due but not paid by the Employer, such amount shall be paid from the assets of the Trust Fund. The Trustee is hereby empowered to withdraw all such compensation and expenses which are 60 days past due from the Trust Fund, and, in furtherance thereof, liquidate any assets of the Trust Fund, without further authorization or direction from or by any person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any officer or director of Chicopee Savings Bank serves as trustee of the Plan, no compensation shall be paid to the officer or director in exchange for his or her services as trustee.

3.2 Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, any individual designated as a trustee hereunder shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Employer to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees and disbursements reasonably incurred by or imposed upon such individual in connection with any claim made against him or in which he may be involved by reason of his being, or having been, a trustee hereunder, to the extent such amounts are not satisfied by insurance maintained by the Employer, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee by reason of any action so taken. Further, any corporate trustee and its officers, directors and agents may be indemnified and held harmless by the Employer to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all costs, damages, expenses and liabilities including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements reasonably incurred by or imposed upon such persons and/or corporation in connection with any claim made against it or them or in which such persons and/or corporation may be involved by reason of its being, or having been, a trustee hereunder as

may be agreed between the Employer and such trustee, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee by reason of any action so taken.

3.3 Expenses. All expenses of administering the Trust and the Plan, whether incurred by the Trustee or the Committee, shall be paid by the Trustee from the Trust Fund to the extent such expenses shall not have been assumed by the Employer.

3.4 Taxes. All taxes that may be levied or assessed upon or in respect of the Trust Fund shall be paid from the Trust Fund. The Trustee shall notify the Committee of any proposed or final assessments of taxes and may assume that any such taxes are lawfully levied or assessed unless the Committee advises it in writing to the contrary within fifteen days after receiving the above notice from the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee, if requested by the Committee in writing, shall contest the validity of such taxes in any manner deemed appropriate by the Committee; the Employer may itself contest the validity of any such taxes, in which case the Committee shall so notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability respecting such contest. If either party to this Agreement contests any such proposed levy or assessments, the other party shall provide such information and cooperation as the party conducting the contest shall reasonably request.

Section 4. Records and Valuation.

4.1 Records. The Trustee, and any investment manager appointed pursuant to Section 2.2, shall maintain accurate and detailed records and accounts of all investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions made by it with respect to the Trust Fund, and all accounts, books and records relating thereto shall be open at all reasonable time to inspection and audit by the Committee and the Employer.

4.2 Valuation. From time to time upon the request of the Committee, but at least annually as of the last day of each Plan Year, the Trustee shall prepare a balance sheet of the Investment Fund in accordance with the Plan and shall deliver copies of the balance sheet to the Committee and the Employer.

4.3 Discharge of Trustee. Ninety days after the filing of any balance sheet under Section 4.2 or any accounting under Section 6, the Trustee shall be forever released and discharged from any liability or accountability other than for gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Trustee to anyone with respect to the transactions shown or reflected in such balance sheet or accounting, except with respect to any acts or transactions as to which the Committee, within such ninety-day period, files written objections with the Trustee. The written approval of the Committee of any balance sheet or accounting so filed by the Trustee, or the Committee’s failure to file written objections within ninety days, shall be a settlement of such balance sheet or accounting as against all persons, and shall forever release and discharge the Trustee from any liability of accountability to anyone with respect to the transactions shown or reflected in such balance sheet or accounting other than liability arising out of the Trustee’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. If a statement of objections is filed by the Committee and the Committee is satisfied that its objections should be withdrawn or if the

balance sheet or accounting is adjusted to its satisfaction, the Committee shall indicate its approval of the balance sheet or accounting in a written statement filed with the Trustee and the Trustee shall be forever released and discharged from any liability of accountability to anyone in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. If an objection is not settled by the Committee and the Trustee, the Trustee may start a proceeding for a judicial settlement of the balance sheet or accounting in any court of competent jurisdictions; the only parties that need be joined in such a proceeding are the Trustee, the Committee, the Employer and any other parties whose participation is required by law.

4.4 Right to Judicial Settlement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Trustee from having its account settled by a court of competent jurisdiction at any time. The only parties that need be joined in any such proceeding are the Employer, the Committee, the Trustee and any other parties whose participation is required by law.

Section 5. Instructions from Committee.

5.1 Certification of Members of the Committee. From time to time the Company shall certify to the Trustee in writing the names of the individuals comprising the Committee and shall furnish to the Trustee specimens of their signatures and the signatures of their agents, if any. The Trustee shall be entitled to presume that the identities of such individuals and their agents are unchanged until it receives a certification from the Company notifying it of any changes.

5.2 Instructions to Trustee.

(a) The Trustee shall pay benefits and administrative expenses under the Plan only when it receives (and in accordance with) written instructions of the Committee indicating the amount of the payment and the name and address of the recipient in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The Trustee need not inquire into whether any payment the Committee instructs the Trustee to make is consistent with the terms of the Plan or applicable law or otherwise proper. Any payment made by the Trustee in accordance with such instructions shall be a complete discharge and acquaintance to the Trustee. If the Committee advises the Trustee that benefits have become payable with respect to a Participant’s interest in the Trust Fund but does not instruct the Trustee as to the manner of payment, the Trustee shall hold the Participant’s interest in the Trust until the Trustee receives written instructions from the Committee as to the manner of payment. The Trustee shall not pay benefits from the Trust Fund without such instructions, even though it may be informed from other sources, including, without limitation, a Participant or Beneficiary, that benefits are payable under the Plan. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine when, to whom or in what amount benefits and expenses are payable under the Plan. Further, the Trustee shall have no power, authority or duty to interpret the Plan or inquire into the decisions or determinations of the Committee, or to question the instructions given to it by the Committee. If the Committee so directs, the Trustee shall segregate amounts payable with respect to the interest in the Plan of any Participant and administer them separately from the rest of the Trust Fund in accordance with the Committee’s instructions.

(b) The Trustee may require the Committee to certify in writing that any payment of benefits or expenses it instructs the Trustee to make pursuant to Section 5.2(a) above is: (i) in accordance with the terms of the Plan and/or (ii) one which the Committee is authorized by the Plan and any other applicable instruments to direct and/or (iii) made for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to Participants and Beneficiaries, or defraying reasonable expenses of Plan administration and/or (iv) not made to a party in interest (within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(14)), and/or (v) not a prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Code Section 4975 and ERISA Section 406). If the Trustee requests, instructions to pay benefits shall be made by the Committee on forms prepared by the Trustee to include any or all of the above representations. The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying on the truth of any such representation by the Committee and shall have no duty to investigate whether such representations are correct or to see to the application of any amounts paid to and received by the recipient.

5.3 Plan Change. In the event of an amendment, merger, division, or termination of the Plan, the Trustee shall continue to disburse funds and to take other proper actions in accordance with the instructions of the Committee.

Section 6. Change of Trustee.

The Company may at any time remove any person or entity serving as a Trustee hereunder by giving to such person or entity written notice of removal and, if applicable, the name and address of the successor trustee. Any person or entity serving as a Trustee hereunder may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Company. Any such removal or resignation shall take effect within 30 days after notice has been given by the Trustee or by the Company, as the case may be. Within those 30 days, the removed or resigned Trustee shall transfer, pay over and deliver any portion of the Trust Fund in its possession or control (less an appropriate reserve for any unpaid fees, expenses, and liabilities) and all pertinent records to the successor or remaining trustee; provided, however, that any assets which are invested in a collective fund or in some other manner which prevents their immediate transfer shall be transferred and delivered to the successor trustee as soon as may be practicable. Thereafter, the removed or resigned Trustee shall have no liability for the Trust Fund or for its administration by the successor or remaining trustee, but shall render an accounting to the Committee of its administration of the Trust Fund through the date on which its Trusteeship shall have been terminated. The Company may also, upon 30 days’ notice to each person currently serving as a trustee, appoint one or more persons to serve as co-Trustee hereunder.

Section 7. Miscellaneous.

7.1 Right to Amend. This Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by an instrument executed by the Company; provided, however, that any amendment affecting the powers, duties or liabilities of the Trustee must be approved by the Trustee, and provided, further, that no amendment may divert any portion of the Trust Fund to purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the Participants and their Beneficiaries prior to the satisfaction of all liabilities for benefits. Any amendment shall apply to the Trust Fund as constituted at the time of the amendment as well as to that portion of the Trust Fund which is subsequently acquired.

7.2 Compliance with ERISA. In the exercise of its powers and the performance of its duties, the Trustee shall act in good faith and in accordance with the applicable requirements under ERISA. Except as may be otherwise required by ERISA, the Trustee shall not be required to furnish any bond in any jurisdiction for the performance of their duties and, if a bond is required despite this provision, no surety shall be required on it.

7.3 Nonresponsibility for Funding. The Trustee shall be under no duty to enforce the payment of any contributions and shall not be responsible for the adequacy of the Trust Fund to satisfy any obligations for benefits, expenses, and liabilities under the Plan.

7.4 Reports. The Trustees shall file any report which they are required by law to file with any governmental authority with respect to this Trust, and the Committee shall furnish to the Trustee whatever information is necessary to prepare the report.

7.5 Dealings with the Trustee. Persons dealing with the Trustee, including, but not limited to, banks, brokers, dealers, and insurers, shall be under no obligation to inquire concerning the validity of anything which the Trustee purports to do, nor need any person see to the proper application of any money paid or any property transferred upon the order of the Trustee or to inquire into the Trustee’s authority as to any transaction.

7.6 Limitation Upon Responsibilities. The Trustee shall have no responsibilities with respect to the Plan or Trust other than those specifically enumerated or explicitly allocated to it under this Trust Agreement or the provisions of ERISA. All other responsibilities are retained and shall be performed by one or more of the Employer, the Committee, and such advisors or agents as they choose to engage.

The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its duties by or through attorneys, agents, receivers or employees and shall not be answerable for the conduct of the same if chosen with reasonable care and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trust hereof and the duties hereunder, and may in all cases pay such reasonable compensation to all such attorneys, agents, receivers and employees as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts hereof. The Trustee may act upon the opinion or advice of any attorney (who may be the attorney for the Trustee or attorney for the Committee), approved by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from any action or non-action in good faith in reliance upon such opinion or advice.

The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or document believed to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and the Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statement contained in any such writing but may accept the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of the statements therein contained.

The Trustee shall not be liable for other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Except in the case of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the

Trustee in its corporate capacity shall not be liable for claims of any persons in any manner regarding the Plan; such claims shall be limited to the Trust Fund. Unless the Trustee participates knowingly in, or knowingly undertakes to conceal, an act or omission of the Committee or any other fiduciary, knowing such act or omission to be a breach of fiduciary responsibility, the Trustee shall be under no liability for any loss of any kind which may result by reason of such act or omission.

Before taking any action hereunder at the request or direction of the Committee, the Trustee may require that indemnity in form and amount satisfactory to the Trustee be furnished for the reimbursement of any and all costs and expenses to which they may be put including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and to protect them against all liability, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee by reason of any action so taken.

No provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to them.

7.7 Qualification of the Plan and Trust. The Trustee shall be fully protected in assuming that the Plan and Trust meet the requirements of Code Sections 401 and 501, respectively, and all the applicable provisions of ERISA, unless they are advised to the contrary in writing by the Committee or a governmental agency.

7.8 Party in Interest Information. The Employer shall provide the Trustee with such information concerning the relationship between any person or organization and the Plan as the Trustee reasonably requests in order to determine whether such person or organization is a party in interest with respect to the Plan within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(14).

7.9 Disputes. If a dispute arises as to the payment of any funds or delivery of any assets by the Trustee, the Trustee may withhold such payment or delivery until the dispute is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or finally settled in writing by the parties concerned.
