7. PURCHASE OF STOCK: The Company and Executive shall have the
-----------------
following rights and obligations with respect to any shares of capital stock of

The provisions of this Paragraph 7 permitting or obligating the Company to
purchase Shares of Executive shall apply only if and to the extent that the
Trustee of the Company's ESOP does not purchase the Shares at the direction of
the ESOP Committee pursuant to the terms of the ESOP.
(a) In the event of the termination of Executive's employment by
virtue of the death of Executive, the Company shall have the right, and, upon
request of Executive's heirs or legal representatives shall have the obligation,
to purchase such Shares as are then owned by Executive as of his date of death
and equal in value to (i) the estate, inheritance, legacy, and succession taxes
(including any interest collected as part of such taxes) imposed because of
Executive's death, and (ii) the amount of Executive's funeral and administration
expenses allowable as a deduction under Section 2053 of the Internal Revenue
Code. The purchase price of any such Shares shall be the Fair Market Value (as
hereinafter defined) as of the date on which the Company gives notice of its
intent to purchase, or Executive's heirs or legal representatives request the
Company to purchase, as the case may be.
(b) Whenever the Executive desires to sell any Shares, other than
pursuant to other subparagraphs of this Paragraph 7, he shall first give written
notice thereof to the Company. Such notice shall specify the terms and
conditions of the proposed sale, including the number and type of shares sought
to be sold, the identity of the proposed transferee, the proposed aggregate
purchase price and payment terms. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall
have the right to
- 3 -
purchase such Shares upon delivery of written notice to the Executive given not
later than thirty (30) days after the actual receipt of the notice of intent to
sell Shares and the Executive shall be required to sell the Shares to the
Company at the price and on the terms set forth in the notice. The Company shall
pay for and the Executive shall deliver the Shares to be sold in the manner set
forth in subparagraph (e) of this Paragraph at such time and place designated in
the Company's notice of purchase within thirty (30) days of the giving of such
notice. If the Company does not exercise its right to purchase such Shares, the
Executive shall have sixty (60) days, starting with the expiration of the thirty
(30) day period within which the Company shall give notice of its intention to
purchase, to sell the Shares on the same terms and conditions and to the same
person or persons as shall be set forth in his notice to the Company and if he
shall fail to so sell the Shares within such period, he shall hold said Shares
subject to the obligation to offer them again to the Company before any
subsequent sale. This subparagraph shall not apply to any transfer of Shares by
gift, provided, however, that the transferee shall agree to be bound by the
terms of this subparagraph while the Executive is receiving payments from the
Company under this Agreement.
The obligation under this subparagraph (b) of the Executive to offer Shares
to the Company shall not apply to any sales made in routine open market
brokerage transactions or to or through an over the counter market maker who
deals as a principal for his own account rather than as a broker except to the
extent that such sales in the aggregate exceed during each three month period
the greater of one percent of the number of shares of the same class of stock on
the day of the sale outstanding or the average reported weekly trading volume
during the four calendar weeks preceeding the sale. Any sales in excess of said
amount shall be subject to the obligation to offer the Shares to the Company as
herein before set forth.
(c) If the Board of Directors of the Company shall have voted for any
fiscal year to make a contribution to the Company's ESOP during the term of this
Agreement in Shares or in cash for the purpose of purchasing Shares, other than
a cash contribution to be used to repay an "exempt loan" as defined in Treasury
Regulations Section 59.4975-7(b)(l)(iii), the Executive shall have the right to
require that the Company purchase such Shares as are then owned by the Executive
and equal in number to the Shares to be contributed to the ESOP or the value of
the Company's cash contribution for such year. the purchase price of any such
Shares then owned by the Executive shall be the Fair Market Value as of the date
on which the Executive requests, in accordance with this Paragraph, that the
Company purchase such Shares.
- 4 -
(d) In the event the Company desires to exercise its right to
purchase Shares hereunder, except in the case of a purchase under subparagraph
(b) above, or Executive or the Executive's heirs or legal representatives wish
to exercise the right to require the Company to purchase Shares hereunder, the
party wishing to exercise such right shall give written notice to the Company
following the event giving rise to the exercise of such right, and the Company
shall purchase such Shares as it is required to purchase at a closing to be held
within 60 days following the determination of Fair Market Value. At such
closing, Executive or his heirs or legal representatives shall deliver to the
Company one or more certificates evidencing the Shares to be purchased, endorsed
in blank or accompanied by an executed stock power, in either case with
signature guaranteed and the Company shall pay the purchase price therefor in
cash.
(e) Fair Market Value of the Shares for all purposes hereunder shall
initially be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith
within thirty (30) days after notice by the Company of its intent to purchase or
a request from Executive or the Executive's heirs or legal representatives to
have the Company purchase Shares. In no event shall the fact that such Shares
constitute a minority or a majority interest be taken into account in valuing
such Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Shares are then listed on
any national or regional securities exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be the
mean between the high and low sales prices on the largest of such exchange for
the ten business day period preceding the date of notice to purchase or
requiring the purchase of Shares. If the Shares are not then listed on any such
exchange, the Fair Market Value of such Shares shall be the mean between the
closing "bid" and the closing "ask" prices as reported in any national,
regional, local or additional listing of the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") for the ten business day period
immediately preceding the date of notice to purchase or requiring the purchase
of Shares. If the Shares are not listed on any national or regional stock
exchange, nor quoted by NASDAQ, and Executive or his heirs or legal
representatives, as the case may be, disagrees with the Fair Market Value as
determined by the Board of Directors, Executive or his heirs or legal
representatives, as the case may be, may engage an appraiser reasonably
acceptable to the Company to determine such Fair Market Value, which
determination shall be made within 60 days. The fees and expenses of such
appraiser shall be borne by Executive or his heirs or legal representatives, as
the case may be.
