                                    AGREEMENT


Insurer(s)/Policy Number(s):       [INSERT INSURANCE COMPANY/POLICY NUMBER]

Date:                              [INSERT EFFECTIVE DATE OF POLICY]

The respective rights and duties of the Bank and the Insured in the above
policy(ies) (the "Policy") shall be as follows:

I.          DEFINITIONS

            Refer to the Policy provisions for the definition of all terms in
            this Agreement.

II.         POLICY TITLE AND OWNERSHIP

            Title and ownership shall reside in the Bank for its use and for the
            use of the Insured all in accordance with this Agreement. The Bank
            alone may, to the extent of its interest, exercise the right to
            borrow or withdraw the Policy cash values. Where the Bank and the
            Insured (or beneficiary[ies] or assignee[s], with the consent of the
            Insured) mutually agree to exercise the right to increase the
            coverage under the subject split dollar Policy, then, in such event,
            the rights, duties and benefits of the parties to such increased
            coverage shall continue to be subject to the terms of this
            Agreement.

III.        BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION RIGHTS

            The Insured (or beneficiary[ies] or assignee[s]) shall have the
            right and power to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
            receive his or her share of the proceeds payable upon the death of
            the Insured, and to elect and change a payment option for such
            beneficiary, subject to any right or interest the Bank may have in
            such proceeds, as provided in this Agreement.

IV.         PREMIUM PAYMENT METHOD

            The Bank shall pay an amount equal to the planned premiums and any
            other premium payments that might become necessary to maintain the
            Policy in force.

V.          TAXABLE BENEFIT

            Annually the Insured will receive a taxable benefit equal to the
            assumed cost of insurance as required by the Internal Revenue
            Service. The Bank (or its administrator) will report to the Insured
            the amount of imputed income received each year on Form W-2 or its
            equivalent.

VI.         DIVISION OF DEATH PROCEEDS

            Subject to Paragraph VII herein, the division of the death proceeds
            of the Policy is as follows:


            A.          The Insured's beneficiary(ies), designated in accordance
                        with Paragraph III, shall be entitled to an amount equal
                        to eighty percent (80%) of the net at risk insurance
                        portion of the proceeds. The net at risk insurance
                        portion is the total proceeds less the cash value of the
                        Policy.

            B.          The Bank shall be entitled to the remainder of such
                        proceeds.


            C.          The Bank and the Insured (or beneficiary[ies] or
                        assignee[s]) shall share in any interest due on the
                        death proceeds on a pro rata basis in the ratio that the
                        proceeds due the Bank and the Insured, respectively,
                        bears to the total proceeds, excluding any such
                        interest.


            D.          In the event that either the Policy is terminated or the
                        proceeds of the Policy are insufficient to provide the
                        benefit specified herein, other than as a result of (i)
                        a termination of this Agreement pursuant to paragraph X
                        or (ii) any intentional act of the Insured which results
                        in the termination of the Policy, then the Bank shall
                        pay to the Insured's beneficiary(ies) an amount which,
                        when combined with the proceeds of the Policy actually
                        received, will provide a total death benefit equal to
                        $586,000, after tax.

VII.        DIVISION OF CASH SURRENDER VALUE

            The Bank shall at all times be entitled to an amount equal to the
            Policy's cash value, as that term is defined in the Policy, less any
            Policy loans and unpaid interest or cash withdrawals previously
            incurred by the Bank and any applicable Policy surrender charges.
            Such cash value shall be determined as of the date of surrender of
            the Policy or death of the Insured as the case may be.

VIII.       PREMIUM WAIVER

            If the Policy contains a premium waiver provision, any such waived
            amounts shall be considered for all purposes of this Agreement as
            having been paid by the Bank.


IX.         RIGHTS OF PARTIES WHERE POLICY ENDOWMENT OR ANNUITY ELECTION EXISTS

            In the event the Policy involves an endowment or annuity element,
            the Bank's right and interest in any endowment proceeds or annuity
            benefits shall be determined under the provisions of this Agreement
            by regarding such endowment proceeds or the commuted value of such
            annuity benefits as the Policy's cash value. Such endowment proceeds
            or annuity benefits shall be treated like death proceeds for the
            purposes of division under this Agreement.

X.          TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

            This Agreement shall terminate at the option of the Bank following
            thirty (30) days written notice to the Insured upon the happening of
            any one of the following:


            1.          The Insured's right to receive benefits pursuant to the
                        terms and conditions of that certain Executive
                        Supplemental Compensation Agreement effective as of
                        ___________, 19__, shall terminate for any reason other
                        than the Insured's death; or


            2.          The Insured shall be discharged from service with the
                        Bank as a result of a termination for cause. The term
                        "termination for cause" shall have the meaning given to
                        such term in the Insured Executive Supplemental
                        Compensation Agreement, effective as of ___________,
                        19__.

            Upon such termination, the Insured (or beneficiary[ies] or
            assignee[s]) shall have a ninety (90) day option to receive from the
            Bank an absolute assignment of the Policy in consideration of a cash
            payment to the Bank, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate.
            Such cash payment shall be the greater of:



                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4
            1.          The Bank's share of the cash value of the Policy on the
                        date of such assignment, as defined in this Agreement.


            2.          The amount of the premiums which have been paid by the
                        Bank prior to the date of such assignment.

            Should the Insured (or beneficiary[ies] or assignee[s]) fail to
            exercise this option within the prescribed ninety (90) day period,
            the Insured (or beneficiary[ies] or assignee[s]) agrees that all of
            his or her rights, interest and claims in the Policy shall terminate
            as of the date of the termination of this Agreement.

            Except as provided above, this Agreement shall terminate upon
            distribution of the death benefit proceeds in accordance with
            Paragraph VI above.


XI.         INSURED'S OR ASSIGNEE'S ASSIGNMENT RIGHTS

            The Insured may not, without the prior written consent of the Bank,
            assign to any individual, trust or other organization, any right,
            title or interest in the Policy nor any rights, options, privileges
            or duties created under this Agreement.

XII.        AGREEMENT BINDING UPON THE PARTIES

            This Agreement shall be binding upon the Insured and the Bank, and

            The Bank is hereby designated the "Named Fiduciary" until
            resignation or removal by its Board of Directors. As Named

            The Named Fiduciary may allocate to others certain aspects of the
            management and operations responsibilities of this Agreement,

XV.         CLAIM PROCEDURES

            Claim forms or claim information as to the subject Policy can be
            obtained by contacting The Benefit Marketing Group, Inc.

            claim form and forward it to an authorized representative of the

            the Named Fiduciary.

            In the event that a claim is not eligible under the Policy, the
            Insurer will notify the Named Fiduciary of the denial pursuant to
            the requirements under the terms of the Policy. If the Named

            and they will assist in making inquiry to the Insurer. All
            objections to the Insurer's actions should be in writing and

            respect the rights of the parties as set forth herein upon receiving
            an executed copy of this Agreement. Payment or other performance in
            accordance with the Policy provisions shall fully discharge the
            Insurer from any and all liability.
