ARTICLE VI. CHANGE OF CONTROL

6.1Vesting of Benefits.In the event of a "Change of Control", a Participant shall, notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, immediately become fully vested in the greater of: (i) his retirement benefits as described in Section 5.1, or (ii) the Change of Control Benefit Amount set
forth in Schedule B or C.

6.2Funding of Benefit.    In the event of a Change of Control, the Bank shall immediately establish a rabbi trust
with a third party financial institution with a net worth of at least $100 million (unless all Plan
Participants entitled to benefits and all surviving spouses receiving benefits under the Plan consent in writing to the appointment of another trustee), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Aand shall deposit funds with the trustee of the trust equal to the difference between the then present value of all accrued benefits
provided under the Plan (computed on the basis of the actuarial assumptions stated in Schedule D hereto and taking into account the benefits that become vested or payable in the event of a
Change of Control) and the then fair market value of the assets of the trust (if any) and shall thereafter make annual additional deposits with the trustee to reflect increases in the accrued
benefits. If the principal of the trust, and any earnings thereon, are not sufficient to make payment of the benefits provided for under this Plan, the Bank shall make the balance of each such payment
as it falls due.

6.3Excise Tax Equalization Payment.    In the event that (through acceleration of vesting of benefits pursuant to
Section 6.1 or otherwise) the Participant becomes entitled to receive a payment under Section 6 ("Change of Control Payment") that will be subject to the tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed
by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed), then the Bank shall pay to Participant in cash an additional amount (the "Gross-Up
Payment) such that the net amount retained by Participant after deduction of any Excise Tax upon the Change of Control Payment and any Federal, state and local income tax and excise tax upon the
Gross-Up Payment provided for by this Section 6.3 (including FICA and FUTA), shall be equal to the Change of Control Payment. In the event the Participant makes an election pursuant
to the regulations under Section 280G of the Code (or any similar provision) (the "Acceleration Election") to accelerate the payment of any Excise Tax due with respect to a Change of Control
Payment which, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, will be paid subsequent to the year in which the Change of Control occurs such Gross-Up Payment shall be made by the Bank to the
Participant within thirty (30) days from the later of (i) the Change of Control that triggers the payment obligation and (ii) the date on which the Participant notifies the Bank
in writing of the Participant's Acceleration Election. In the event the Participant does not make an Acceleration Election, such Gross-Up Payment(s) shall be made concurrent with the
payment of any retirement benefit under the Plan which is treated as a Change of Control Payment. All Gross-Up Payments payable to the Participant shall be subject to all required and
customary deductions by the Bank and the Participant acknowledges that if the Participant is an employee of the Bank at the time a Gross-Up Payment is made, all or subsequently all of the
Gross-Up Payment shall be withheld and remitted to Federal and/or state tax authorities on behalf of the Participant. For the purpose of this Section 6.3, all defined terms shall be
given the meanings provided herein.

ARTICLE VII. ADMINISTRATION

7.1Appointment of Administrator.    The Plan will be administered by the person designated by the Board to
administer the Plan (the "Administrator"), but the Board will have full discretionary authority to interpret the provisions of the Plan and decide all questions and settle all disputes that may arise
in connection with the Plan. The Board may establish its own operative and administrative rules and procedures in connection with the Plan, provided such procedures are consistent with the
requirements of Section 503 of ERISA and the regulations thereunder. All interpretations, decisions and determinations made by the Board will be binding on all persons concerned.

7.2Delegation.    The Board in its sole discretion may delegate certain of its duties and responsibilities to the
Administrator or to an appropriate Employee or Employees. For purposes of the Plan, any action taken by the Administrator or a delegee Employee pursuant to such delegation will be considered to have
been taken by the Board. The Bank agrees to indemnify and to defend to the fullest possible extent permitted by law any delegee of the Board (including any person who formerly served as a delegee)
against all liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and amounts paid in settlement of any claims approved by the Bank) occasioned by any act or omission to act in
connection with the Plan, if such act or omission is in good faith.

ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN

The
Bank hopes and expects to continue the Plan in effect, but the Board necessarily reserves the right to amend the Plan at any time, and from time to time, or to terminate the Plan,
provided that such amendment or termination shall not reduce the vested benefit of any Participant or amend Section 6.1 or 6.2 without the consent of all Participants who have vested benefits

ARTICLE IX. MISCELLANEOUS

Plan if such Participant's employment is terminated on account of, or such Participant is convicted of, or confesses to, or permits a plea of nolo contendere to be entered with respect to, a criminal
act of fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement, or the like, which is a felony and involves property of the Bank.

9.4Governing Law.The Plan will be construed, administered, and governed under the laws of the State of Rhode
Island, to the extent not preempted by federal law.

TRUST AGREEMENT

This Agreement is made by and between Bank Rhode Island (hereinafter the "Bank"), and
[                                    ] as Trustee(s) (hereinafter
referred to as the "Trustee").

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS,
the Bank has established the Bank Rhode Island Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the "Plan") for certain of its employees; and

WHEREAS,
the Bank wishes to establish a trust ("Trust") and to contribute to the Trust assets that shall be held therein, subject to the claims of the Bank's creditors in the event of
the Bank's insolvency, as herein defined, for the benefit of Plan Participants (as defined in Section 2.13 of the Plan) and their surviving spouses in such manner and at such times as specified
in the Plan; and

WHEREAS,
it is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plan as an unfunded Plan maintained for the
purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly-compensated employees for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA");
and

WHEREAS,
the Trustee has consented to act as trustee of the trust fund and to hold and distribute the assets transferred to the trustee and accumulated in respect of the Plan on the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the Bank and the Trustee hereby agree as set forth below.

A-1

---



ARTICLE IEstablishment of Trust

1.1
The Trust Fund shall consist of such sums of money or other property, in a form acceptable to the Trustee, as shall from time to time be paid or delivered to the Trustee pursuant to
the Plan which, together with all earnings, profits, increments and accruals thereon, without distinction between principal and income, shall constitute the Trust Fund hereby created and established.
The Trust Fund shall be held, administered and disposed of by the Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement. The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable.

1.2
The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which the Bank is the grantor, within the meaning of subpart E, part I, subchapter J, chapter 1, subtitle
A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.

1.3
The Trust Fund shall be held separate and apart from other funds of the Bank and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan Participants and general creditors as
herein set forth. Plan Participants and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Plan and
this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan Participants and their beneficiaries against the Bank. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of the Bank's
general creditors under federal and state law in the event of insolvency, as defined in Article III herein.

1.4
Except as provided below or in Article III hereof, the Bank shall have no right or power to direct the Trustee to return to the Bank or to divert to others any of the Trust
assets before all payment of benefits have been made to Plan Participants and their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

A-2

---



ARTICLE IIPayments to Plan Participants

2.1
The Bank shall designate an Administrator ("Administrator") in accordance with the Plan and the Administrator shall deliver to the Trustee, at least annually, a schedule ("the
Payment Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable in respect of each Plan Participant who has ceased to be an employee of the Bank and each surviving spouse, that provides a formula or other
instructions acceptable to the Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the Plan), and the time of commencement
for payment of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee shall make payments to the Plan Participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment Schedule. The Trustee
shall make provisions for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the
Plan and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by the Bank. The Administrator shall provide the Trustee
with all information necessary to make such tax withholding provisions and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such information. The Bank shall be responsible for the remittance to the
appropriate tax authorities of its share of any applicable employment taxes, as distinguished from those employment taxes required to be withheld from the benefits due Plan Participants and their
beneficiaries.

2.2
The entitlement of a Plan Participant or his or her beneficiary to benefits under the Plan shall be determined by the Bank and/or the Administrator as provided for in the Plan and
any claim for such benefits shall be considered and reviewed by the Administrator under the procedures set out in the Plan.

2.3
The Bank may make payment of benefits directly to Plan Participants or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plan. The Bank shall notify the Trustee of its
decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to Plan Participants or their beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust, and any earnings thereon,
are not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Bank shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due. Trustee shall notify the Bank where
principal and earnings are not sufficient to cover payments required by the Payment Schedule under paragraph 2.1 hereof.

ARTICLE IIITrustee Responsibility Regarding Payments to Trust Beneficiary  When Bank Is Insolvent

3.1
The Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Plan Participants and their beneficiaries if the Bank is Insolvent. The Bank shall be considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust
Agreement if (i) the Bank is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) the Bank is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code or under
state court receivership law.

3.2
At all times during the continuance of this Trust as provided in paragraph 1.3 hereof, the principal and income of the Trust shall be subject to claims of general creditors of
the Bank under federal and state law as set forth below:

3.2.1
The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank shall have the duty to inform the Trustee in writing of the Bank's Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a
creditor of the Bank alleges in writing to the Trustee that the Bank has become Insolvent, the Trustee shall determine whether the Bank is Insolvent and, pending such determination, the Trustee shall
discontinue payment of benefits to Plan Participants or their beneficiaries.

3.2.2
Unless the Trustee has actual knowledge of the Bank's Insolvency, or has received notice from the Bank or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that the Bank is Insolvent,
the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether the Bank is Insolvent. The Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning the Bank's solvency as may be furnished to the Trustee by the
Bank and that provides the Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning the Bank's solvency.

3.2.3
If at any time the Trustee has determined that the Bank is Insolvent, the Trustee shall discontinue payments to Plan Participants or their beneficiaries and shall hold the assets
of the Trust for the benefit of the Bank's general creditors. While so holding such assets, the Trustee shall make payments to such creditors if the Bank shall so direct or, if the Bank is subject to
a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy code or state receivership law, as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way
diminish any rights of Plan Participants or their beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of the Bank with respect to benefits due under the Plan or otherwise.

3.2.4
The Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Plan Participants or their beneficiaries in accordance with Article II of this Trust Agreement only after the Trustee has
determined that the Bank is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).

3.3
If the Trustee discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to paragraph 3.2 hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such
discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Plan Participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plan for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate
amount of any payments made to Plan Participants or their beneficiaries by the Bank in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance provided that there are
sufficient assets.

ARTICLE VILimitation of the Trustee's Liability

6.1 The Trustee shall be accountable only for funds actually received by it hereunder and shall have no duty or liability to determine that the amount of the
funds received by it comply with the provisions of the Plan. If the Bank has established a contract with an insurance company to carry out the purposes of the Plan, the Trustee shall not be liable for
the acts or omissions of such insurance company, or be under an obligation to invest or otherwise manage the portion of the Trust Fund which is subject to the management of such insurance company.

6.2
Whenever the Trustee is required or authorized to take any action hereunder pursuant to any written direction or notice of the Administrator or the Bank, the Trustee, acting in
accordance with such direction or notice, shall not be responsible for the administration of such Plan or Trust, for the correctness of any payments or disbursements from the Trust, or for any other
action taken by the Trustee in accordance with such written direction or notice. Such direction or notice shall be sufficient protection to the Trustee if contained in a writing signed by the
Administrator or such other person authorized to execute documents on behalf of the Administrator, in the case of direction or notice required to be given by the Administrator; or by any officer of
the Bank, in the case of direction or notice required to be given by the Bank, and the Trustee has actual knowledge that the payment or disbursement is improper or incorrect.

6.3
The Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee from and against any losses, costs, damages or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, which the Trustee may incur or
pay out by reason of (i) the Trustee's acting in accordance with the directions of the Bank or the Administrator or failing to act in the absence of such directions; (ii) the Trustee's
exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, unless the same are determined to be due to the Trustee's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; (iii) any (alleged or actual)
action or inaction on the part of the Bank or the Administrator, unless such losses, costs, damages, or expenses arise out of the Trustee's negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct; or
(iv) the failure of the Plan to be exempt from the requirements of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. In addition, in the
event that the Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation (including but not limited to any audit, proceeding or any other administrative action of any state, local or federal taxing authority)
arising in connection with the Trust Fund, the Bank agrees to indemnify the Trustee against the Trustee's reasonable costs, expenses, and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily liable for such payments. If the Bank does not pay such costs, expenses, and liabilities described in this paragraph in a reasonably
timely manner, the Trustee may obtain payment from the Trust Fund.

ARTICLE VIIExpenses and Compensation

The Trustee, other than a trustee who is also an employee or officer of the Bank, shall be paid such reasonable compensation as shall from time to time be agreed
upon by the Trustee and the Bank. All administrative expenses, charges, taxes and assessments of the Trust Fund and Trustee's fees shall be the obligation of the Bank.

Any
such fees may be paid from the Trust Fund, but the Bank shall reimburse the Trust Fund for all such payments within seven (7) business days.

ARTICLE VIIISubstitution and Succession of the Trustee

8.1 The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Administrator. Such resignation shall become effective thirty (30) days thereafter
or upon the appointment of a successor Trustee, whichever occurs first. In the event a successor Trustee is not appointed within thirty (30) days, the Trustee may turn over the assets of the
Trust to the Administrator as successor Trustee. Except as provided below, the Administrator may remove the Trustee by giving thirty (30) days written notice to the Trustee of such intent to
remove, and by then giving written notice of the appointment of a successor Trustee. The removal shall become effective upon acknowledgment of the receipt of the assets of the Trust by the successor
Trustee. Each successor Trustee under this Trust shall be appointed in writing by the Administrator and shall accept the Trust in writing. Such successor Trustee shall become vested with any estate,
property, right, power and duty of the predecessor Trustee hereunder with like effect, as if originally named Trustee. No successor Trustee shall be liable for any act or failure of any predecessor
Trustee, and with the approval of the Administrator, a successor Trustee may accept the account rendered and the property delivered to it by the predecessor Trustee without in so doing incurring any
liability or responsibility with respect to acts of default, if any, of the predecessor Trustee.

8.2
If the Trustee is a corporation, any corporation into which the Trustee may merge or with which it may consolidate, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to
which the Trustee may be a party, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any additional instrument or the performance of any further act.

thereof by the Administrator.
