interest, equal to the Interest Factor, earned to-date on such amounts.

all assumptions used to establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom

Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of
Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine

Trust Fund so as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the lump sum
equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the Supplemental Retirement
Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing at Benefit Age and payable for
the duration of the Payout Period.

by either (i) the Executive’s involuntary termination of employment, or (ii)
Executive’s voluntary termination of employment after: (A) a material change in

scope from the position the Executive held at the time of the Change in Control,
(B) a relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or (C) a
material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Executive from those

required to make an immediate lump sum contribution to the Retirement Income
Trust Fund equal to (i) the full Contribution required for the Plan Year in
which such termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii) the present value
(computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining
Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund; provided, however, in no
event shall the Contribution be less than an amount which is sufficient to
provide the Executive with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate
equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Executive’s termination) beginning
at his Benefit Age, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been
payable to the Executive if no secular trust had been implemented and the
benefit obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS
106.
(3) Termination For
Cause
If the
Executive does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2,
and is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no further
Contribution(s) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the
Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be required for the Plan Year
in which such termination for Cause occurs.

Employment
If the

and the Executive’s employment with the Bank is involuntarily terminated for any
reason, including a termination due. to disability of the Executive but
excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control
within twenty-four (24) months of such Change in Control, within thirty (30)
days of such involuntary termination of employment, the Bank shall be required
to make an immediate lump sum Contribution to the Executive’s Retirement Income
Trust Fund in an amount equal to the: (i) the full Contribution required for the
Plan Year in which such involuntary termination occurs, if not yet made, plus
(ii) the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest
Factor) of all remaining Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund;
provided however, that, if necessary, an amount shall be contributed to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to provide the Executive with
after tax benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as
of the date of the Executive’s termination) beginning at his Benefit Age, equal
in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the Executive if no
secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued
under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106.
(5) Death During
Employment
If the
Executive does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2,
and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following the Executive’s death,
the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are insufficient to provide the
Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to which the Executive is entitled, the
Bank shall be required to make a Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund equal to the sum of the remaining Contributions set forth on Exhibit A,
after taking into consideration any payments under any life insurance policies
that may have been obtained on the Executive’s life by the Retirement Income
Trust Fund. Such final contribution shall be payable in a lump sum to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund within thirty (30) days of the Executive’s
death.
(c) Withdrawal Rights
Exercised.
(1) Phantom Contributions Made
Annually
If the
Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, no further
Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required of the Bank.
Thereafter, Phantom Contributions shall be recorded annually in the Executives
Accrued Benefit Account within thirty (30) days of the beginning of each Plan
Year, commencing with the first Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the
Executive exercises his withdrawal rights. Such Phantom Contributions shall
continue to be recorded annually, unless this Subsection 2.1(c) specifically
states otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Phantom
Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the
Executive’s termination of employment.
(2) Termination Following a
Change in Control
If the
Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, Phantom
Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which
the Executive first exercises his withdrawal rights. If a Change in Control
occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36) months of such Change in Control,
the Executive’s employment is either (i) involuntarily terminated, or (ii)
voluntarily terminated by the Executive after: (A) a material change in the
Executive’s function, duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause the
Executive’s position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or
scope from the position the Executive held at the time of the Change in Control,
(B) a relocation of the Executive’s principal place of employment by more than
thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or (C) a
material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Executive from those
being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the Phantom Contribution
set forth below shall be required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to
record a lump sum Phantom Contribution in the Accrued Benefit Account within ten
(10) days of the Executive’s termination of employment. The amount of such final
Phantom Contribution shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom
Contribution required, at such time, in order to provide a benefit via this
Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an
after-tax basis, commencing on the Executive’s Benefit Eligibility Date and
continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination
shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from both the Accrued
Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also
reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Executive from
the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
(3) Termination For
Cause
If the
Executive is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the entire balance
of the Executive’s Accrued Benefit Account at the time of such termination,
which shall include any Phantom Contributions which have been recorded plus
interest accrued on such Phantom Contributions, shall be forfeited.

Employment
If the
Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and the
Executive’s employment with the Bank is involuntarily terminated for any reason
including termination due to disability of the Executive, but excluding
termination for Cause, or termination following a Change in Control, within
thirty (30) days of such involuntary termination of employment, the Bank shall
be required to record a final Phantom Contribution in an amount equal to: (i)
the full Phantom Contribution required for the Plan Year in which such
involuntary termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii) the present value
(computed using a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining
Phantom Contributions.
(5) Death During
Employment
If the
Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and dies
while employed by the Bank, Phantom Contributions included on Exhibit A shall be
required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year
following the Plan Year in which the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights
and shall continue through the Plan Year in which the Executive dies. The Bank
shall also be required to record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30)
days of the Executive’s death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution
shall be actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution required at
such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement equivalent
to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days
of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Executive’s death and
continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination
shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit
Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the
amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Executive pursuant to
Subsection 2.2).
2.2
|
Withdrawals From
Retirement Income Trust
Fund.
|
Exercise

Retirement Income Trust
Fund.
|
Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the trustee
of the Retirement Income Trust Fund purchases a life insurance policy with the
Contributions to and, if applicable, earnings of the Trust, and such lift
insurance policy is intended to continue in force beyond the Payout Period for
the disability or retirement benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust
Fund pursuant to this Agreement, then the trustee shall have discretion to
determine the portion of the cash value of such policy available for purposes of
annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund (it being understood that for
purposes of this Section 2.3, “annuitizing” does not mean surrender of such
policy and annuitizing of the cash value received upon such surrender) to
provide the disability or retirement benefits payable under this Agreement,
after taking into consideration the amounts reasonably believed to be required
in order to maintain the cash value of such policy to continue such policy in
effect until the death of the Executive and payment of death benefits
thereunder.

be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall be
payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the
Executive’s Benefit Eligibility Date. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets
actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized,
which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income
Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund
shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and
make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return.
Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return,
following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the rate of

payment to the Executive (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess
amounts attributable to the greater-than expected rate of return. The Executive
may at anytime during the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid balance of
his Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If such a lump sum
payment is requested by the Executive, payment of the balance of the Retirement
Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Executive
gives notice to both the Administrator and trustee in writing. Such lump sum
payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice. In the event

the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Executive’s
Beneficiary the monthly installments (or a continuation of such monthly
installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of months remaining
in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Executive’s Beneficiary may request to receive
the unpaid balance of the Executive’s Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump sum
payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the

Executive’s Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into

payments of the Executive’s Accrued Benefit Account to which Executive is
entitled for the first six months following Separation from Service shall be
held and shall be paid to the Executive on the first day of the seventh month
following the Executive’s Benefit Age. In the event the Executive

completion of all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay
to the Executive’s Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation
of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the balance of
months remaining in the Payout Period.

Eligibility Date. In the event the Executive dies after becoming eligible for
such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment

agreements with the Federal government; (iii) in compliance with ethics
laws or conflicts of interest laws; (iv) in limited cash-outs (but not in

AMENDMENT/PLAN
TERMINATION
13.1
|
Amendment or Plan
Termination. This Agreement shall not be amended, modified or
terminated at any time, in whole or part, without the mutual written
consent of the Executive and the Bank, and such mutual consent shall be
required even if the Executive is no longer employed by the Bank. No
amendment, modification or termination of the Agreement by the Bank shall
directly or indirectly deprive the Executive of all or any portion of the
Executive’s Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if
applicable) as of the effective date of the resolution amending or
terminating the Agreement.
|
13.2
|
Executive’s Right to
Payment Following Plan Termination. In the event of a termination
of the Agreement, with respect to the Executive’s Retirement Income Trust
Fund, the Executive shall be entitled to the balance, if any, of his
Retirement Income Trust Fund. However, if such termination is
done in anticipation of or pursuant to a “Change in Control,” such
balance(s) shall include the final Contribution made (or recorded)
pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b)(2) (or 2.1(c)(2)). Payment of the
balance(s) of the Executive’s Retirement Income Trust Fund shall not be
dependent upon his continuation of employment with the Bank following the
termination date of the Agreement. Payment of the balance(s) of the
Executive’s Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be made in a lump sum
within thirty (30) days of the date of termination of the
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a
termination of the Agreement, with respect to the Executive’s Accrued
Benefit Account (if applicable), the Agreement shall cease to operate and
the Bank shall pay out to the Executive the balance or his Accrued Benefit
Account only upon the following circumstances and
conditions:
|
|
(a)
|
The
Bank may terminate the Agreement within 12 months of a corporate
dissolution taxed under Code Section 331, or with approval of a bankruptcy
court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A), provided that the amounts
deferred under the Agreement are included in the Executive’s gross income
in the latest of (i) the calendar year in which the Agreement terminates;
(ii) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture; or (iii) the first calendar year in which
the payment is administratively
practicable.
|
|
(b)
|
The
Bank may terminate the Agreement within the 30 days preceding a Change in
Control (but not following a Change in Control), provided that the
Agreement shall only be treated as terminated if all substantially similar
arrangements sponsored by the Bank are terminated so that the Executive
and all executives under substantially similar arrangements are required
to receive all amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated
arrangements within 12 months of the date of the termination of the
arrangements. For these purposes, “Change in Control” shall be
defined in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Code Section
409A.
|
|
(c)
|
The
Bank may terminate the Agreement provided that: (i) the termination and
liquidation does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health
of the Bank; (ii) all arrangements sponsored by the Bank that would be
aggregated with this Agreement under Treasury Regulations Section
1.409A-1(c) if the Executive covered by this Agreement was also covered by
any of those other arrangements are also terminated; (iii) no payments
other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the
arrangement if the termination had not occurred are made within 12 months
of the termination of the arrangement; (iv) all payments are made within
24 months of the termination of the arrangements; and (v) the Bank does
not adopt a new arrangement that would be aggregated with any terminated
arrangement under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(c) if the
Executive participated in both arrangements, at any time within three
years following the date of termination of the
arrangement.
