Article 2
Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights Allocation
The Director’s Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights Account (“Phantom SAR’s Account”) shall

be established with a one-time allocation of shares of Phantom Stock as of the Effective Date of this Agreement (the “Phantom Stock Allocation”).
Article 3
Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights Account
3.1 Establishing and Crediting. The Company shall establish a Phantom SAR’s Account on its books for the Director. The value of the Phantom SAR’s Account is determined as follows:
3.1.1 Valuation for Plan Years 1 Through 10. On the last day of each Plan Year 1 through 10, the value of the Phantom SAR’s Account is determined by multiplying the Phantom SAR’s Allocation by the difference between the Initial Price Per Share and the Current Price Per Share, as defined below.
(a) “Initial Price Per Share” is the beginning per share value of the Phantom Stock, which is $10.00.
(b) “Current Price Per Share” is determined by dividing the Capital Account by the 3,178,958 total outstanding Phantom Stock shares. If there are Extraordinary Items as defined in Section 3.1.3, the total outstanding Phantom SAR shares may be adjusted.
An example of the calculation of a Phantom SAR’s Account Balance is as follows:
| Assumptions | Results | |||||
| (A) | Phantom SAR’s Allocation | 4,239 | ||||
| (B) | Initial Price Per Share | $ | 10.00 | |||
| (C) | Capital Account at the Measurement Date | $ | 34,968,538 | |||
| (D) | Total Outstanding Phantom Shares | 3,178,958 | ||||
| (E) | Current Price Per Share | $ | 11.00 | |||
| (F) | Phantom Price Appreciation = (E) minus (B) | $ | 1.00 | |||
| (G) | Phantom SAR’s Account Value = (A) times (F) | $ | 4,239 | |||
3.1.2 Interest on Phantom SAR’s Account Balance. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, no interest shall be credited to the Phantom SAR’s Account during Plan Years 1 through 10.
3.1.3 Extraordinary Items. In the event of the Company’s merger with a mutual institution, conversion to a stock company or other material change in the Company’s total capitalization that occurs after the establishment by the Company of the Director’s Phantom SAR’s Account, the number of outstanding Phantom SAR shares subject to this Agreement shall be adjusted accordingly.
3.2 Statement of Accounts. The Company shall provide to the Director, within 90 days following the end of each Plan Year this Agreement is in effect, a statement setting forth the
4
Phantom SAR’s Account Balance, stating the number of Phantom SAR shares and detailing the calculation of the value of the Director’s Phantom SAR’s Account.
3.3 Accounting Device Only. The Phantom SAR’s Account is solely a device for measuring amounts to be paid under this Agreement. The Phantom SAR’s Account is not a trust fund of any kind. The Director is a general unsecured creditor of the Company for the payment of benefits. The benefits represent the mere Company promise to pay such benefits.

The 10 Year Treasury Rate shall be determined using the average rate in effect for the month of December immediately prior to commencement of benefit payments. The 10 Year Treasury Rate used for this purpose shall not be less than 4.00%.

Article 6
Beneficiaries
6.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Director shall designate a beneficiary by filing a written designation with the Company. The Director may revoke or modify the designation at any time by filing a new designation. However, designations will only be effective if signed by the Director and accepted by the Company during the Director's lifetime. The Director's beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases the Director, or if the Director names a spouse as beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. If the Director dies without a valid beneficiary designation, all payments shall be made to the Director's estate.
6.2 Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Company may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Company may require proof of incompetency, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit.
