Dividends during the prior Plan Year, then additional Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights shall be credited to the Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights Account, determined by multiplying the Director’s total Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights as of the end of the Plan Year by the Dividends Per Share for the same Plan Year, then dividing that product by the Book Value Per Share. This Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights Account allocation shall be made once per year, in arrears, crediting Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights based on the Dividends declared in the previous Plan Year and using the Book Value Per Share as of the last day of that Plan Year. For example, if Book Value Per Share is $0,10 in 2009 and the Director has 10,000 Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights, he would be allocated an additional 200 shares of Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights as of January 1, 2010, assuming a December 31, 2009 Book Value Per Share of $5.00.

| 4.3.1 | Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 4,3 is one hundred percent (100%) of the Phantom Stock Appreciation Rights Account value, determined as of the end of the Plan Year immediately preceding the occurrence of such Disability. |
| 4.3.2 | Distribution of Benefit. The Bank shall distribute the benefit to the Director as elected by the Director on the Distribution Election Form commencing within thirty (30) days following such Disability. The Bank shall credit interest at an annual rate equal to the Crediting Rate on the remaining account balance during any applicable installment period. |
Section 4.6 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
| 4.6 | Change in Form or Timing of Distributions. All changes in the form or timing of distributions hereunder must comply with the following requirements. The changes: |
