SECTION II
BENEFIT FUNDING
2.1 (a) RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND AND ACCRUED BENEFIT ACCOUNT. The
Director shall establish the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantor Trust into which
the Bank shall be required to make annual Contributions on the
Director's behalf, pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the
Agreement. A trustee shall be selected by the Director. The trustee
shall maintain an account, separate and distinct from the Director's
personal contributions, which account shall constitute the Retirement
Income Trust Fund. The trustee shall be charged with the responsibility
of investing all contributed funds. Distributions from the Retirement
Income Trust Fund of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantor Trust may be made by
the trustee to the Director, for purposes of payment of any income or
employment taxes due and owing on Contributions by the Bank to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, if any, and on any taxable earnings
associated with such Contributions which the Director shall be required
to pay from year to year, under applicable law, prior to actual receipt
of any benefit payments from the Retirement Income Trust Fund. If the
Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the
Bank's obligation to make Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund shall cease and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom
Contributions in the Accrued Benefit Account shall immediately commence
pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. To the
extent this Agreement is inconsistent with the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantor
Trust Agreement, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantor Trust Agreement shall
supersede this Agreement.
8
The annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to be made
by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank
in the Accrued Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are
set forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference. Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement
Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five (75) days of establishment of
such trust, and (ii) within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning
of each subsequent Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides
otherwise. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the
Accrued Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the
beginning of each applicable Plan Year, unless this Section expressly
provides otherwise. Phantom Contributions shall accrue interest at a
rate equal to the Interest Factor, during the Payout Period, until the
balance of the Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed.
Interest on any Phantom Contribution shall not commence until such
Payout Period commences.
The Administrator shall review the schedule of annual Contributions (or
Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30)
days prior to the close of each Plan Year and (ii) if the Director is
employed by the Bank until attaining Benefit Age, on or immediately
before attainment of such Benefit Age. Such review shall consist of an
evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to establish the
schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions). Provided that (i)
the Director has not exercised his withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the investments contained in the Retirement
Income Trust Fund have been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the
Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of
Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator
determine during any such review that AN INCREASE in or SUPPLEMENT TO
the schedule of Contributions is necessary in order to adequately fund
the Retirement Income 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.
(b) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED.
(1) CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY
If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2, the annual Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust

(i) the last Plan Year that Contributions are required pursuant to
Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of the Director's termination of
service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2 and a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, followed
within thirty-six (36) months by either (i) the Director's involuntary
termination of service, or (ii) Director's voluntary termination of
service after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties,
or responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service 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 Director
from those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
Emeritus Contributions as set forth on Schedule A shall continue to be
required of the Bank. The Bank shall be required to make an immediate
lump sum Contribution to the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in
an amount equal to: (i) the full Emeritus 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 Emeritus Contributions to the Retirement Income
Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed using the a discount
rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest only component of the
Elective Contribution; provided, however, that, if necessary, an
additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits
(assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date
of Director's termination) beginning at Benefit Age following such
termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would have been
payable to the Director 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 Director 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
10
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.
(4) VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE.
If the Director does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily
or involuntarily terminated for any reason, including a termination due
to disability of the Director but excluding termination for Cause, or
termination following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months
of such Change in Control, 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; provided, however, that, if necessary, an
additional amount shall be contributed to the Retirement Income Trust
Fund which is sufficient to provide the Director with after-tax benefits
(assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date
of Director's termination) beginning at the Director's Benefit Age
following such termination, equal in amount to that benefit which would
have been payable to the Director 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 SERVICE.
If the Director does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to
Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following
the Director's death, the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are
insufficient to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to
which the Director 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 Director'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 Director's
death.
11
(c) WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS EXERCISED.
(1) PHANTOM CONTRIBUTIONS MADE ANNUALLY.
If the Director 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 Director's 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 Director 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 Director's termination of service.
(2) TERMINATION FOLLOWING A CHANGE IN CONTROL
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the
Plan Year in which the Director 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 Director's service is either (i)
involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the Director
after: (A) a material change in the Director's function, duties, or
responsibilities, which change would cause the Director's position to
become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
position the Director held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
relocation of the Director's principal place of service 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 Director
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 Director's
termination of service equal to (i) the full Emeritus 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 Emeritus Contributions to the
Retirement Income Trust Fund, and (iii) the present value (computed
using the a discount rate equal to the Interest Factor) of the interest
only component of the Elective Contribution. 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 equal in amount to that benefit which would
have been payable to the Director if no
12
secular trust had been implemented and the benefit obligation had been
accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106. (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 Director from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to
Subsection 2.2.)
(3) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE
If the Director is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the
entire balance of the Director'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.
(4) VOLUNTARY AND INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF SERVICE.
If the Director exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
2.2, and the Director's service with the Bank is voluntarily or
involuntarily terminated for any reason including termination due to
disability of the Director, but excluding termination for Cause, or
termination following a Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of
such termination of service, no further Phantom Contributions shall be
required of the Bank. Interest, at a rate equal to the Interest Factor,
shall accrue on such Phantom Contributions until the Director's Benefit
Eligibility Date.
(5) DEATH DURING SERVICE.
If the Director 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
Director exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue through the
Plan Year in which the Director dies. The Bank shall also be required to
record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30) days of the
Director'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 Director'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
13
Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also
reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Director
pursuant to Subsection 2.2.)
2.2 WITHDRAWALS FROM RETIREMENT INCOME TRUST FUND.
Exercise of withdrawal rights by the Director pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantor Trust agreement shall terminate the Bank's obligation
to make any further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund,
and the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions pursuant to
Subsection 2.1(c) shall commence. For purposes of this Subsection 2.2,
"exercise of withdrawal rights" shall mean those withdrawal rights to
which the Director is entitled under Article III of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantor Trust agreement and shall exclude any distributions
made by the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund to the Director
for purposes of payment of income taxes in accordance with Subsection
2.1 of this Agreement and the tax reimbursement formula contained in the
trust document, or other trust expenses properly payable from the ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantor Trust pursuant to the provisions of the trust
document.
2.3 BENEFITS PAYABLE FROM 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 life 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 Director and payment of death benefits thereunder.

SECTION III
RETIREMENT BENEFIT
3.1 (a) NORMAL FORM OF PAYMENT.
If (i) the Director is employed with the Bank until reaching his Benefit
Age and (ii) the Director has not made a Timely Election to receive a
lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(a) shall be controlling with
respect to retirement benefits.
The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Director's Benefit
Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly
installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit
payments shall commence on the Director'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 return used to
annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to
the Director (or his Beneficiary) shall distribute the excess amounts
attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return. The Director
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 Director, payment of the
balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall
be made only if the Director 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 Director dies at any time
after attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion
of all monthly payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the
Retirement Income Trust Fund shall pay to the Director'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 Director's Beneficiary may request to receive
the unpaid balance of the Director's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a
lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary,
payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump
sum form shall be made only if the
15
Director's Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in
writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's
death. Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of
such notice.
The Director's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of
the Director's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest
Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout
Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Director's Benefit
Eligibility Date. In the event the Director dies at any time after
attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of
all the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the
Director'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, or (ii) the Director's
Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit
payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by
the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to
the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in
such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i)
obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator

final lump sum Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit
Account in accordance with Subsection 2.1(c). The Director's Beneficiary
may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid monthly benefit
payments due from the Accrued Benefit Account in a lump sum payment. If
a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such
lump sum payment shall be equal to the balance of the Director's Accrued
Benefit Account. Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the
Director's Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii)
notifies the Administrator in writing of such election within ninety
(90) days of the Director's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by

Fund in a lump sum payment. If such a lump sum payment is requested by
the Director, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund
in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director gives notice to

of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the
balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Director's
Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit
payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by
the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to
the unpaid balance of the Director's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in
such lump sum form shall be made only if the Director's Beneficiary (i)
obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator
in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Director's
