the offices of President and Chief Operating Officer of the
Corporation and the Savings Bank or a material adverse change
made by the Employers in the Executive's functions, duties or
responsibilities as President and Chief Operating Officer of the
Corporation and the Savings Bank without the Executive's express
written consent, the Executive shall be entitled to terminate his
employment hereunder and shall be entitled to the payments and
benefits provided for in Section 5(c)(A) and (B); however, such
termination shall not otherwise constitute a material breach of
this Agreement by the Savings Bank.
6. Limitation of Benefits under Certain Circumstances. If
the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 5 hereof, either
alone or together with other payments and benefits which
Executive has the right to receive from the Savings Bank, would
constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code,
the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall be
reduced, in the manner determined by the Executive, by the
amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in no
portion of the payments and benefits under Section 5 being
non-deductible to the Savings Bank pursuant to Section 280G of
the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999
of the Code. The parties hereto agree that the payments and
benefits payable pursuant to this Agreement to the Executive upon
termination shall be limited to three times the Executive's
Average Annual Compensation in accordance with the provisions of
Section 310 of the Handbook. The determination of any reduction
in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section 5
shall be based upon the opinion of independent tax counsel
selected by the Savings Bank's independent public accountants and
paid by the Savings Bank. Such counsel shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Savings Bank and the Executive; shall promptly
prepare the foregoing opinion, but in no event later than thirty
(30) days from the Date of Termination; and may use such
actuaries as such counsel deems necessary or advisable for the
purpose. In the event that the Savings Bank and/or the Executive
do not agree with the opinion of such counsel, (i) the Savings
Bank shall pay to the Executive the maximum amount of payments
and benefits pursuant to Section 5, as selected by the Executive,
which such opinion indicates that there is a high probability do
not result in any of such payments and benefits being
non-deductible to the Savings Bank and subject to the imposition
of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code and (ii)
the Savings Bank may request, and Executive shall have the right
to demand that the Savings Bank request, a ruling from the IRS as
to whether the disputed payments and benefits pursuant to Section
5 hereof have such consequences. Any such request for a ruling
from the IRS shall be promptly prepared and filed by the Savings
Bank,
8
but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of the
opinion of counsel referred to above, and shall be subject to
Executive's approval prior to filing, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Savings Bank and Executive agree to
be bound by any ruling received from the IRS and to make
appropriate payments to each other to reflect any such rulings,
together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided
for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. Nothing contained herein
shall result in a reduction of any payments or benefits to which
the Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment
under any circumstances other than as specified in this Section
6, or a reduction in the payments and benefits specified in
Section 5 below zero.
7. Mitigation; Exclusivity of Benefits.
(a) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the
amount of any benefits hereunder by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor shall the amount of any such benefits be reduced
by any compensation earned by the Executive as a result of
employment by another employers after the Date of Termination or
otherwise.
(b) The specific arrangements referred to herein are not
intended to exclude any other benefits which may be available to
the Executive upon a termination of employment with the Employers
pursuant to employee benefit plans of the Employers or otherwise.
8. Withholding. All payments required to be made by the
Savings Bank hereunder to the Executive shall be subject to the
withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to tax and other
payroll deductions as the Savings Bank may reasonably determine
should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
9. Assignability. The Savings Bank may assign this
Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but
not in part, to any corporation, bank or other entity with or
into which the Savings Bank may hereafter merge or consolidate or
to which the Savings Bank may transfer all or substantially all
of its assets, if in any such case said corporation, bank or
other entity shall by operation of law or expressly in writing
assume all obligations of the Savings Bank hereunder as fully as
if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not
otherwise assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations
hereunder. The Executive may not assign or transfer this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder.

than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Savings
