annuity or does not commence at the same time as the Executive’s benefit under
this Agreement, the Bank shall, for purposes of this section, convert the value
of such benefit into an actuarially equivalent single life annuity benefit
commencing at the same time as the benefit under this Agreement. If the
Executive would be entitled to a benefit described in Subsection 2.1.2, but for
his failure to apply for such benefit, Subsection 2.1.2 will be applied as if
the Executive had applied for and received the benefit. Changes in a
benefit described in Subsection 2.1.2 that occur after commencement of the

adjustments, will not change the amount of the reduction under Subsection 2.1.2

Executive’s Early Termination, the Bank shall pay to the Executive the benefit
described in this Section 2.2 instead of any other benefit under this

during the entire supplemental retirement benefit payment period and at such
time the Executive (or his beneficiary or estate) is receiving a benefit under
Section 2.1.3, Section 2.2.2, or Section 2.3.2 or Article 3 hereof, the Bank
shall pay the remaining supplemental retirement benefits to the Executive, the
Executive’s beneficiaries, or the Executive’s estate in a lump sum within three
days after the effective date of the Change in Control. The lump sum payment due
to the Executive, beneficiaries, or estate as a result of a Change in Control
shall be an amount equal to the actuarial equivalent of the Accrual Balance
amount corresponding to the particular benefit then being paid to the Executive,
beneficiaries, or estate after deduction of any benefits already paid during the
period from Termination of Employment to payment of the lump sum
amount. For purposes of this Section 2.5 only, a “Change in Control”

BENEFICIARIES
4.1 Beneficiary
Designations. The
Executive shall designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries by filing a written
designation form with the Bank. The Executive may revoke or modify the
designation at any time by filing a new designation. However, designations will
be effective only if signed by the Executive and accepted by the Bank during the
Executive’s lifetime. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed
automatically revoked if the beneficiary predeceases the Executive, or if the
Executive names a spouse as beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently
dissolved. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary designation, all
payments shall be made to the Executive’s estate.
4.2 Facility
of Payment. If a
benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incapacitated, or to a
person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, the Bank
may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the
care or custody of such minor, incapacitated person or incapable person. The
Bank may require such proof of incapacity, minority or guardianship as the Bank
deems appropriate before distribution of the benefit. Distribution shall
completely discharge the Bank from all liability for such benefit.

MISCELLANEOUS
7.1
Actuarial
Equivalency. Whenever an
actuarial equivalent must be determined under
this Agreement, it shall be determined in the same manner, and with the same
interest and mortality factors, as such equivalent would be determined under the
provisions of the pension plan in effect at the time such determination is to be
made, or, if no pension plan is in effect on such date, using reasonable
actuarial factors selected by the Administrator.
7.2 Amendments
and Termination. This Agreement
may be amended or terminated only by a written agreement signed by the Bank and
the Executive.
7.3 Binding
Effect. This Agreement
shall bind the Executive and the Bank, and their beneficiaries, survivors,
executors, successors, administrators and transferees.
7.4 No
Guarantee of Employment. This Agreement is
not an employment policy or contract. It does not give the Executive the right
to remain an employee of the Bank, nor does it interfere with the Bank’s right
to discharge the Executive at any time. It also does not require the Executive
to remain an employee nor interfere with the Executive’s right to terminate
employment at any time.
7.5 Non-Transferability. Benefits under
this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached, or
encumbered in any manner.
7.6 Successors;
Binding Agreement. By an assumption
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, the Bank will
require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or
assets of the Bank to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in
the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank would be required to
perform this Agreement if no such succession had occurred. The Bank’s failure to
obtain such an assumption agreement before the succession becomes effective
shall be considered a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive
to the Change in Control benefit provided in Section 2.4.
7.7 Tax
Withholding. The Bank shall
withhold any taxes that are required to be withheld from the benefits provided
under this Agreement.
7.8 Applicable
Law. Except to the
extent preempted by the laws of the United States of America, the validity,

governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,
without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such
state.
7.9 Unfunded
Arrangement. The Executive and
the Executive’s beneficiary(ies) are general unsecured creditors of the Bank for
the payment of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the mere
promise by the Bank to pay such benefits. The right to benefits under the
Agreement are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by
creditors. Any insurance on the Executive’s life is a general asset of the Bank
to which the Executive and beneficiary(ies) have no preferred or secured
claim.

have the powers that are necessary to administer this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, the power to:
(a)
interpret the provisions of the Agreement;
(b) establish

management and operational responsibilities of the Agreement, including the
employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified
individuals.
7.12 Severability. If for any reason
any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not
affect any other provision of this Agreement, and each such other provision
shall continue in full force and effect to the full extent consistent with law.
If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid in part, such invalidity
shall in no way affect the remainder of the provision, and the remainder of such
provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall continue
in full force and effect to the full extent consistent with law.
7.13 Headings. The headings of
sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not
affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this

7.15 Specified
Employees. Despite any
contrary provision of this Agreement, if, when the Executive’s service
terminates, the Executive is a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A,

interest to the Executive because of Section 409A, the Executive shall not be
entitled to payment until the earliest of (i) the date that is at least six
months after termination of the Executive’s employment for reasons other than
the Executive’s death, (ii) the date of the Executive’s death, or (iii) any
earlier date that does not result in additional tax or interest to the Executive
under Section 409A. If any provision of this Agreement would subject
the Executive to additional tax or interest under Section 409A, the Bank shall
reform the provision. However, the Bank shall maintain to the maximum extent
practicable the original intent of the applicable provision without subjecting
the Executive to additional tax or interest.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
Executive and a duly authorized Bank officer have signed this Second Amended and
Restated Agreement as of the day and year first written above.
