“(g)    Post-Employment Health Insurance. In the event of Executive’s
termination of employment pursuant to Sections 4(b), 4(c), 5(b) or 5(c),
beginning on the expiration date of any health insurance coverage under the Core
Plans provided pursuant to Section 6 hereof and continuing through the date on
which Executive becomes eligible for benefits under Medicare (and through the
date on which the Executive’s spouse becomes entitled to benefits under Medicare
with respect to the right to continued coverage for such spouse), Executive (and
any qualified dependents, including Executive’s spouse) shall be entitled to
health insurance coverage. Such coverage shall be provided under the health
insurance plan in which the “named executive officers” (as defined in 17 CFR
229.402(a)(3), as amended) of BFC and the Bank (including the named executive
officers of any successor or successors of BFC and/or the Bank) participate (as
such plan is then in effect and as it may be modified, replaced or substituted
at any time and from time to time during the period of coverage contemplated in
this Section 6(g)), to the same extent as Executive was participating in such
health insurance plan immediately prior to termination, at the Executive’s cost,
which cost shall be an amount equal to the cost of such benefits as if such
benefits were being provided pursuant to COBRA (the “COBRA Limit”). If such
health insurance plan refuses to insure Executive or allow Executive to be a
participant in the health insurance plan for any reason, the Bank and any
successor of BFC and the Bank shall have the affirmative obligation to promptly
arrange and provide (without any gap in coverage) equivalent replacement health
insurance coverage for Executive and his dependents (including his spouse)
through a different reputable and financially sound insurance company acceptable
to Executive. In such event, Executive shall pay or contribute to the premiums
for such replacement health insurance coverage in an amount not exceeding the
COBRA Limit. Executive shall promptly notify the Bank when the Executive and/or
Executive’s spouse become entitled to full benefits under Medicare. Nothing
contained in this section is intended to limit or otherwise modify benefits that
the Executive may otherwise be entitled to under this Agreement with respect to
the Core Plans.”
11.The instructions for giving notices to the Company set forth in the fourth
sentence of Section 7 of the Employment Agreement are hereby deleted and
replaced in their entirety with the following:

Directors, with copies of the notice concurrently delivered to the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and the Executive Vice President of the Human
Resources Division of the Company.”
Except as stated above, Section 7 of the Employment Agreement is not changed and
shall remain as currently written.
