However, if any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Bank or the Corporation, the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Bank or the Corporation (or to cause a change in the effective control of the Bank or the Corporation (within the meaning of subsection (ii)). An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the Bank or the Corporation acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this subsection. This subsection applies only when there is a transfer of stock of the Bank or the Corporation (or issuance of stock of the Bank or the Corporation) and stock in the Bank or the Corporation remains outstanding after the transaction.

(ii)

a change in the effective control of the Bank or the Corporation, which shall occur only on either of the following dates:

the date a majority of members of the Corporation’s board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Corporation’s board of directors before the date of the appointment or election; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply if another corporation is a majority shareholder of the Corporation

If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered to effectively control the Bank or the Corporation, the acquisition of additional control of the Bank or the Corporation by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the effective control of the Bank or the Corporation (or to cause a change in the ownership of the Bank or the Corporation within the meaning of subsection (i) of this section).

(iii)

a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Bank’s assets, which shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a

group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Bank that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Bank immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions.

For purposes of this section, persons will not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering. However, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Bank or the Corporation; provided that they will not be considered as a group if they are owners of an entity that merges into the Bank or the Corporation where the Bank or the Corporation is the surviving corporation in the merger.

ARTICLE II

THE ALLOCATION

Section 2.01 Allocations to the Employee’s Account. On the Effective Date and on the last business day of the month thereafter occurring on or before the first to occur of (1) the Employee’s attainment of his Retirement Date, (2) his death or (3) his Termination of Employment, the Bank shall credit to the Employee’s Account 10% of the amount of Employee’s compensation, or such other percentage of Employee’s compensation not to exceed 20% as he shall elect to have withheld from his compensation from time to time. Amounts elected to be deferred by the Employee shall be withheld from the Employee’s compensation for the pay periods for which such compensation is paid. Each allocation under this Section 2.01 shall be deemed to have been made for purposes of computing interest under Section 2.03 of this Agreement as of the required allocation date.

The Employee may elect to defer a portion of his Compensation (other than Performance-Based Compensation) to be earned in a Plan Year by making an irrevocable election to do so before

January 1st of that Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee is not otherwise eligible to participate in another individual account non-qualified deferred compensation plan, and the individual first becomes eligible to participate in this Plan after January 1, 2005, the Employee may irrevocably elect to defer a portion of his Compensation (other than Performance-Based Compensation) to be earned by the Employee in the same Plan Year (and after making the election) as long as the election is made within 30 days following the date the individual first becomes eligible to participate.

The Employee may no later than six months before the end of the applicable Service Period irrevocably elect to defer a portion of the Performance-Based Compensation otherwise payable to the Employee in the following Plan Year. If the Employee is not otherwise eligible to participate in another individual account non-qualified deferred compensation plan, and the individual first becomes eligible to participate in this Plan after January 1, 2005, the Employee may irrevocably elect to defer a portion of his Performance-Based Compensation to be earned in the same Plan Year (and after making the election) as long as the election is made within 30 days following the date the individual first becomes eligible to participate. The maximum amount of Performance-Based Compensation taken into account for this purpose shall be the total amount of Performance-Based Compensation for such Service Period, multiplied by the ratio of remaining days in the Service Period over the total number of days in the Service Period (after taking into account required tax withholding and payroll deductions for other benefit programs).

For purposes of this Section:

“Performance-Based Compensation” means the compensation paid by the Bank that meets the following criteria:

(i)

the compensation must be based on services performed over a period of at least 12 months:

(ii)

the payment or amount of the compensation must be contingent on the satisfaction of pre-established organizational or individual performance criteria (established no later than 90 days after the beginning of the Service Period); and

(iii)

the compensation cannot include any amount or portion of any amount that will be paid either regardless of performance or based on a level of performance that is substantially certain to be met at the time the performance criteria are established.

“Service Period” means a period of at least 12 months during which the Employee performs services with respect to which Performance-Based Compensation is otherwise payable.

Section 2.02 Amount of Bank Allocations. As of the Effective Date, the Bank shall allocate additional amounts to the Employee’s Account at the end of each quarter (beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2005) as matching contributions based on the amount of salary the Employee has elected to defer and have withheld under Section 2.01 during that quarter, as follows:

	Date		Amount

	December 31, 2005		Twenty cents ($.20) for each one dollar ($1.00) of salary deferred by the Employee, subject to a maximum of 4% of Employee’s salary for those periods.

	As of the last day of each quarter thereafter during the term of this Agreement		Such amounts as Bank shall determine for a calendar year which shall be approved by the Board before the end of the preceding calendar year

Section 2.03 Allocation of Interest. As of the end of each Plan Year, and as of the date of termination of this Agreement or payment in full of the benefits provided for hereunder, Bank shall credit the Employee’s Account, with interest, compounded annually, on the undistributed balance then held in his Account. The annual rate of interest for each Plan Year shall be equal to the highest certificate of deposit rates offered by the Bank during the year preceding the year in which the interest is to be allocated. Interest with respect to any allocations made during a Plan Year shall accrue from the date of allocation.

Section 2.04 Optional Account Investments. In lieu of the interest credits described in Section 2.03, the Administrator, in its complete and sole discretion, may elect to invest the amounts credited to the Employee’s Account in specific investments in the name of the Bank. To the extent the Administrator makes such investments, the actual amounts credited to the Employee’s Account shall reflect the actual investment results for such investments rather than the deemed interest described in Section 2.03, and the Bank will not be obligated to pay Employee any difference between the deemed interest rate in Section 2.03 and those investment results. In making these investment decisions, the Administrator may, but is not required to, seek recommendations from the Employee as to the manner in which the Employee’s Account should be invested.

Section 2.05 Termination of this Agreement. Either Employee or the Bank may terminate this agreement with respect to any calendar year by providing written notice to the other party hereto on or before December 1st of the preceding calendar year. Upon termination of this agreement, no further compensation deferrals or Bank allocations shall be made to the Employee’s Account, and except as provided below benefits shall be payable in accordance with Article III.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.05, the Employee’s benefit shall be distributed immediately in a lump sum if this agreement terminates in the following circumstances:

(i)

Within thirty (30) days before or twelve (12) months after a Change in Control, provided that termination of this agreement was effected through an irrevocable action taken by the Bank and provided further that all distributions are made no later than twelve (12) months following such termination of the agreement and that all the Bank's arrangements which are substantially similar to the agreement

are terminated so the Employee and any participants in the similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve (12) months of the termination of the arrangements;

(ii)

Upon the Bank’s dissolution or with the approval of a bankruptcy court provided that the amounts deferred under the agreement are included in the Employee’s gross income in the latest of (a) the calendar year in which the agreement terminates; (b) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture; or (c) the first calendar year in which the distribution is administratively practical; or

(iii)

Upon the Bank’s termination of this and all other account balance plans (as referenced in Section 409A of the Code or the regulations thereunder), provided that all distributions are made no earlier than twelve (12) months and no later than twenty-four (24) months following such termination, provided further that the termination of this agreement does not occur proximate to the downturn in the financial health of the Bank and provided further that the Bank does not adopt any new account balance plans for a minimum of three (3) years following the date of such termination.
