                          EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                                  INTRODUCTION

         This First Federal Capital Corp. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
"Plan") was established by the Board of Directors of First Federal Capital
Corp., a Wisconsin corporation (the "Sponsor") effective as of November 9, 1989
to provide and encourage the beneficial ownership of common stock of the Sponsor
by eligible employees.

         The Plan is designed to invest primarily in common stock of the Sponsor
and is intended to be an "employee stock ownership plan" as defined in Section
4975(e)(7) of the Code.

         In order to update the Plan for compliance with subsequent federal
legislation and to make such other changes as are set forth herein, the Sponsor
hereby amends and restates the Plan in its entirety, as of the effective dates
specified in Section 9.11.


                                   ARTICLE I

                                  DEFINITIONS

         Whenever used herein, the following words and phrases shall have the

requires.

         1.1 "Account" shall mean the record maintained or caused to be
maintained by the Company for each Participant pursuant to Section 4.1 of the
Plan which, as of the applicable date, shall consist of the balance of
contributions made by the Company on his behalf to or under the Plan, adjusted
for the share of income or losses, expenses, and appreciation or depreciation
allocable to such contributions and by the amount of any payment, return, or
refund made to or by a Participant or Beneficiary on or before such applicable
date.

(3) members appointed by the Board of Directors with responsibilities and duties
as described in Article VII of the Plan.

         1.3 "Affiliated Company" shall mean (i) a member of a controlled group

Sections 1563(a)(4) and (e)(3)(C) of the Code, except that, with respect to
the limitations set forth in Section 4.6 of the Plan, the phrase "more than 50

percentage appears in Section 1563(a)(1) of the Code.

         1.4 "Beneficiary" shall mean the person or persons designated by a
Participant on the form provided by the Company to receive any payment or

Company to an Employee for any portions of the Plan Year during which he is not

maintain records reflecting the number of hours for which an Employee is paid
for the reasons specified in (a)(ii) or (a)(iii), forty-five (45) Hours of
Service shall be credited for each week for which such Employee is credited with

provisions of Section 4.6(b) of the Plan, all common stock acquired through
Company contributions and (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3 of the
Plan) all dividends thereon, shall be allocated, as of the close of each quarter
of the Plan Year for which the Company contribution was made, to the Account of
each Participant (i) who was an Employee on the last day of such quarter or
(ii) who terminated employment with the Company during such quarter due to
retirement (on or after his Retirement Date), Total and Permanent Disability,
or death. The amount of such common stock and such dividends thereon allocated
to each Participant's Account shall bear the same proportion to the total amount
of such common stock allocated with respect to such quarter as the amount of the
Compensation paid to such Participant while employed during the quarter bears to
the total compensation paid to all Participants who were entitled to receive an
allocation of such Company contributions during such quarter.

                  (b) Quarterly Adjustments to Participants' Accounts. Promptly
after preparation of the Trustee's evaluation, as provided in Section 6.3(b) of
the Plan, the Trustee shall adjust the Accounts of all Participants so that the
amount of net income, loss, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the
Trust Fund for the period (hereinafter referred to as the


                                       10
<PAGE>


"Evaluation Period") from the last previous evaluation to the date of such
evaluation shall be credited to or charged against the Participants' Accounts in
the ratio that (i) the balance in the Account of each Participant as of the
first day of such Evaluation Period minus the amount distributed to such
Participant during such Evaluation Period bears to (ii) the balance in all such
Participants' Accounts as of the first day of such Evaluation Period minus the
total amounts distributed to all Participants during such Evaluation Period.

         4.3 Elections Regarding Cash Dividends on Common Stock. In respect of
any Plan Year, the Administrative Board shall have the authority to provide
Participants who have attained a fully vested status under the Plan (in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4 of the Plan) with the opportunity
to make an annual irrevocable election, prior to the beginning of such Plan
Year, to have cash dividends on the common stock allocated to his Account paid
to him currently. Cash dividends on shares in respect of which no cash
distribution election is made shall be used to purchase shares of the common
stock of the Company.

         4.4 Voting of Company Common Stock.

                  (a) Common stock of the Company held by the Trustee on behalf
of Participants shall be voted by the Trustee at each annual meeting and at each
special meeting of the stockholders of the Company as directed by the
Participants to whose Accounts such stock is credited. Fractional shares may be
combined and voted by the Trustee to the extent possible to reflect the
instructions of Participants credited with such shares. The Trustee shall vote
unallocated shares of stock in the manner which it determines to be in the best
interests of Plan Participants taking into account all facts and circumstances.

                  (b) As to allocated shares of stock, the Company shall cause
each Participant to be provided with a copy of a notice of each such stockholder
meeting and the proxy statement


                                       11
<PAGE>


of the Company, together with an appropriate form for the Participant to
indicate his voting instructions. If instructions are not received by the
Trustee with respect to any allocated shares of stock within three (3) business
days of such stockholder meeting, the Trustee shall vote the uninstructed
allocated stock in the same proportions as the Trustee was instructed to vote
with respect to the allocated shares for which it received instructions. Each
Participant shall also be given similar rights to direct the Trustee as to the
sale of securities pursuant to a tender offer and the exercise of any conversion
privileges, subscription rights or other similar rights arising with respect to
common stock of the Company credited to his Account. The Trustee shall hold
confidential any and all voting or other instructions received from
Participants.

         4.5 Diversification Option. Any Participant who has attained age
fifty-five (55) and has ten (10) years of participation in the Plan shall be
eligible to elect to have a portion of his Account treated in accordance with
the following provisions:

                  (a) For the six (6) Plan Years immediately following the Plan
Year in which the Participant first satisfies the age and participation
requirements set forth above (the "Diversification Period"), the Participant may
elect to have an amount equal to his Eligible Amount treated in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.5(c) of the Plan. Such election may be made during
the first ninety (90) days of the Plan Year (the "Election Period") and shall be
made in writing on forms provided by the Company.

                  (b) For purposes of this Section 4.5, the term "Eligible
Amount" shall mean, in the first five (5) years of the Diversification Period,
an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of a Participant's
Account, to the extent such portion exceeds the amount which the Participant had
previously elected to have treated under this Section 4.5. In the sixth year of
the Diversification Period, the Eligible Amount shall be computed by
substituting "fifty


                                       12
<PAGE>


percent (50%)" for "twenty-five percent (25%)" in the preceding sentence. For
purposes of determining the Eligible Amount, the Participant's Account shall be
deemed to include any amounts previously transferred to another qualified
retirement plan or distributed to the Participant pursuant to
Sections 4.5(c)(ii) and (iii) of the Plan.

                  (c) The amount elected by the Participant pursuant to
Section 4.5(a) of the Plan for diversification shall, at the option of the
Company, either:

                           (i) be invested in an investment option selected by
the Participant from among at least three (3) investment options made available
by the Trustee (which options shall be consistent with regulations issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury) within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the
Election Period,

                           (ii) be transferred, within ninety (90) days after
the expiration of the Election Period, to another qualified retirement plan
maintained by the Company (if any) which provides for participant-directed
accounts and provides at least three (3) investment options, or

                           (iii) be distributed directly to such Participant
within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Election Period. Where the
value of the Participant's Account exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), any
distribution under this Section 4.5(c)(iii) shall be made only with the consent
of the Participant, provided, however, that if the Participant fails to consent
to such distribution, the Plan's obligations pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall
be deemed fully satisfied.

         4.6 Benefit Limitations.

                  (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the annual additions made to the Participant's Account for any Limitation Year
(which shall be the Plan Year), together with the annual additions on behalf of
the Participant under any other Defined


                                       13
<PAGE>


Contribution Plan of the Company during the Limitation Year shall not exceed the
lesser of (i) Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) as adjusted pursuant to
Section 415(d) of the Code or (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) of the
Participant's Limitation Year Compensation for such Limitation Year.

         Except as provided below, annual additions shall include all Company
contributions and forfeitures allocated to a Participant's account under the
Plan and any other Defined Contribution Plan of the Company plus all employee
contributions to any other Defined Contribution Plan(s), excluding any rollover
contributions, repayment or restoration of contributions or similar allocations
under any other Defined Contribution Plan(s) of the Company.

         Annual additions shall not, however, include (i) any forfeitures of
common stock of the Company allocated to a Participant's Account if such stock
was acquired with the proceeds of an exempt loan (described in Section 6.5 of
the Plan) or (ii) Company contributions deductible under Section 404(a)(9)(B)
of the Code and charged against the Participant's Account.

         Company contributions made to a Participant's Account because of an
erroneous forfeiture in a prior Limitation Year or an erroneous failure to
allocate amounts in a prior Limitation Year shall not be considered an annual
addition with respect to the Participant for the Limitation Year in which made
but shall be considered an annual addition for the Limitation Year to which they
relate. If the amount so contributed in the particular Limitation Year takes
into account actual investment gains attributable to the period subsequent to
the year to which the contribution relates, the portion of the total
contribution which consists of such gains shall not be considered as an annual
addition for any Limitation Year.

         (b) If, as a result of the allocation of forfeitures, a reasonable
error in estimating a Participant's Compensation or under such other limited
facts and circumstances as


                                       14
<PAGE>


the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service may prescribe, a Participant's
annual additions would exceed the limitations of Section 4.6(a) of the Plan,
reductions in annual additions under any other Defined Contribution Plan(s) of
the Company shall be made before reductions in annual additions under the Plan.
Any Company contributions which cannot be allocated to a Participant's Account
by reason of the limitations of this Section 4.6 shall be allocated to the
Accounts to other Participants in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Plan until
the maximum limitations under this Section 4.6 are reached for all Participants.
Any stock which cannot be allocated to Participants' Accounts in a Plan Year
shall be held in an unallocated suspense account (with income earned thereon)
until the Plan Year in which it is first possible to allocate such stock to
Participants' Accounts in accordance with this Section 4.6.

         (c) If a Participant has at any time been a participant in any Defined
Benefit Plan maintained by the Company, then for any Limitation Year beginning
prior to January 1, 2000, the sum of the Participant's Defined Benefit Plan
Fraction and his Defined Contribution Plan Fraction for such Limitation Year
shall not exceed one (1.0). If the maximum limitation of this Section 4.6(c) is
exceeded and annual additions on behalf of a Participant must be reduced, such
reduction shall be accomplished in the manner described in Section 4.6(b) of the
Plan and in any other Defined Contribution Plan of the Company.

         (d) For purposes of this Section 4.6, the following definitions apply:

                  (1) "Defined Contribution Plan" and "Defined Benefit Plan"
shall have the meanings set forth in Section 415(k) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder.

                  (2) "Defined Benefit Plan Fraction" for any Limitation Year
shall mean a fraction:


                                       15
<PAGE>


                           (i) the numerator of which is the projected annual
benefit of a Participant (the annual benefit to which such Participant would be
entitled under the terms of the Defined Benefit Plan on the assumptions that he
continues employment until his normal retirement age as determined under the
terms of such Defined Benefit Plan, or current age, if older, that his
compensation continues at the same rate as in effect in the Limitation Year
under consideration until the date of his normal retirement date, or current
age, if older, and that all other relevant factors used to determined benefits
under such Defined Benefit Plan remain constant as of the current Limitation
Year for all future Limitation Years) under all Defined Benefit Plans ever
maintained by the Company, determined as of the-close of the Limitation Year,
and

                           (ii) the denominator of which is the lesser of:

                                    (A) the product of one and twenty-five
one-hundredths (1.25) multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect for such
Limitation Year under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code, or

                                    (B) the product of one and four tenths (1.4)
multiplied by the amount which may be taken into account under the percentage of
Limitation Year Compensation limitation in effect for such Limitation Year under
Section 415(b)(1)(B) of the Code with respect to the Participant under such
plans for such Limitation Year.

                  (3) "Defined Contribution Plan Fraction" shall mean a
fraction:

                           (i) the numerator of which is the sum of the annual
additions to the Participant's accounts as of the close of the Limitation Year
and all Prior Limitation Years under all Defined Contribution Plans ever
maintained by the Company, and



                                       16
<PAGE>

                           (ii) the denominator of which is the sum of the
lesser of the following amounts determined for such Limitation Year and for each
prior Limitation Year included in the Participant's service with the Company:

                                    (A) the product of one and twenty-five one
hundredths (1.25) multiplied by the dollar limitation in effect for such
Limitation Year under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code (determined without
regard to Section 415(c)(6) of the Code) or

                                    (B) the product of one and four tenths (1.4)
multiplied by the amount which may be taken into account under the percentage of
Limitation Year Compensation limitation in effect for such Limitation Year under
Section 415(c)(1)(B) of the Code with respect to the Participant under such
plan for the Limitation Year.

                  (4) "Limitation Year" shall mean the twelve (12)-consecutive
month period beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31.

                  (5) "Limitation Year Compensation" shall mean the aggregate of
all wages, salaries and other amounts paid for personal services actually
rendered which are received by an Employee from the Company and all Affiliated
Companies within a Limitation Year, to the extent that such amounts are
includable in his gross income plus any elective deferrals (as defined in
Section 402(g) of the Code) and any amount contributed or deferred at the
election of the Employee which is not includable in the gross income of the
Employee by reason of Section 125, 132(f)(4) or 457 of the Code. Limitation Year
Compensation shall not include deferred compensation, stock options and other
distributions which receive special tax benefit. Limitation Year Compensation
shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 415(c)(3) of
the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.

of such benefits shall be made in accordance with Sections 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 of
the Plan.

                  (a) Notwithstanding the designation of any other Beneficiary,
the nonforfeitable accrued benefit of a Participant who dies before beginning to
receive benefits under the Plan shall be paid, in full, to his surviving spouse,
if the Participant has been legally married to such spouse for at least one year
prior to the Participant's death,

                           (1) unless the surviving spouse consents in writing

termination employment, the following Years of Service may be disregarded:

                           (i) Years of Service occurring prior to a One Year
Break in Service shall not be taken into account until the Participant has
completed a Year of Service after such One Year Break in Service.

                           (ii) In the case of any Participant who has no vested
interest in his Account at his termination if employment, Years of Service
occurring before a Break in Service shall not be taken into account if the
number of consecutive One Year Breaks in Service exceeds the greater of (A) five
(5) or (B) the Participant's Years of Service before such consecutive One Year
Break in Service.

                           (iii) Once a Participant has incurred five (5)
consecutive One Year Breaks in Service, Years of Service occurring after such
five (5) consecutive One Year Breaks in Service shall not be counted in
determining the Participant's vested interest in the amount in his Account prior
to such five (5) consecutive One Year Breaks in Service.

                  (c) Forfeiture of Non-Vested Amount. Subject to the provisions
of Section 5.4(d) of the Plan, the excess of (i) the amount in the Account of a
Participant whose termination of employment has occurred over (ii) the amount
vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 5.4(a) of
the Plan (hereinafter the "non-vested amount") shall be forfeited on the last
day of the Plan Year during which the Participant incurs five (5) consecutive
One Year Breaks in Service provided, however, that if the Participant is rehired
and performs an Hour of Service before he incurs Five (5) consecutive One Year
Breaks in Service, (i) the forfeited amount shall be recredited to the
Participant's Account, and (ii) the Participant shall continue to earn future
Years of Service for purposes of determining the vested amount in his Account
without regard to his cessation of employment.

         Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, any amounts forfeited
pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) shall be allocated among the Accounts of the
other Participants in the Plan during the Plan Year within which such
forfeitures occur, in the same manner as Company contributions for such Plan
Year are allocated under Article IV of the Plan.

                  (d) Distribution Prior to Full Vesting.In the event that a
distribution is made pursuant to Section 5.4(a) of the Plan to a Participant
who, at the time of such distribution, is not one hundred percent (100%) vested
in his Account, the following rules shall apply:

                           (i) When the total vested amount, not exceeding the
Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), in the Participant's Account is distributed to
such Participant in a lump-sum following such Participant's termination of
employment pursuant to the terms of Section 5.6(b) of the Plan, the non-vested
amount in the Participant's Account shall be forfeited upon the date of such
distribution.

<PAGE>


                           (ii) When the total vested portion of the
participant's Account, which vested portion exceeds Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000), is distributed to such Participant following such Participant's
termination of employment pursuant to the Participant's voluntary election to
receive such distribution, the non-vested amount in the Participant's Account
shall be forfeited upon the date of such distribution.

                           (iii) If a Participant who has received a
distribution pursuant to Section 5.4(d)(i) or (ii) of the Plan is rehired and
performs an Hour of Service before he incurs five (5) consecutive One Year
Breaks in Service and such Participant repays the amount of his previous
distribution within five (5) years of the date he is rehired, the forfeited
amount shall be re-credited to such Participant's Account and the Participant
shall continue to earn future Years of Service for purposes of determining the
vested amount in his Account without regard to his cessation of employment.

                           (iv) The amount required to be re-credited pursuant
to Subparagraph (iii) above shall in no event be less than the non-vested amount
in the Participant's Account at the time of the forfeiture, unadjusted by
subsequent gains or losses.

                           (v) The funds needed to re-credit such Participant's
Account shall be drawn first from any amounts forfeited by Participants employed
by the Company during the year such re-crediting is required. If such
forfeitures are not sufficient to fully restore the forfeited amount to the
Participant's Account, the Company shall make a special contribution earmarked
to fund the remainder of the amount needed.

                           (vi) Subject to Section 5.4(d)(v) of the Plan, any
amounts forfeited pursuant to this Section 5.4(d) shall be allocated among the
Accounts of the other Participants in


                                       22
<PAGE>


the Plan during the plan Year within which such forfeitures occur, in the same
manner as Company contributions for such Plan Year are allocated under Article
IV of the Plan.

         5.5 Form of Distributions.

                  (a) In General. Distributions shall be made in whole shares of
Company common stock or, at the election of the Participant, in cash. The value
of any fractional shares of Company common stock shall be distributed in cash.

Company common stock shall be automatically terminated in the event of the sale
or other disposition by the Trustee of all shares of Company common stock held
by the Trust.

         Unless the Participant elects otherwise, his benefits under the Plan
shall be paid in substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than
annually) over a period not longer than five (5) years

                  (b) Eligible Rollover Distributions. Notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a Distributee's
election under this Section 5.5(b), with respect to all distributions made from
the Plan on and after January 1, 1993, a Distributee may elect, at the time and
in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Board, to have all or any portion
of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid in a Direct Rollover to an Eligible
Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.

         As used in this Section 5.5(b), the following terms shall have the
following meanings:

                           (i) "Eligible Rollover Distribution" shall mean any
distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of a Distributee
under the Plan, except that the term "Eligible Rollover Distribution" shall not
include any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic

expectancy) of the Distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies)
of the Distributee and the Distributee's designated beneficiary, any
distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments
(not less frequently than annually) made for a specified period of ten (10)
years or more, any distribution to the extent such distribution is required
under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code, the portion of any distribution that is
not includible in gross income (determined without regard to the exclusion for
net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities) and any
hardship distribution described in Code Section 401(k)(2)(B)(i)(iv) made after
December 31, 1999.

                           (ii) "Eligible Retirement Plan" shall mean an
individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the Code, an
individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b) of the Code, an
annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the Code or a qualified trust
described in Section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the Distributee's Eligible
Rollover Distribution. In the case of an Eligible Rollover Distribution made to
the surviving spouse of an Employee or former Employee, the term " Eligible
Retirement Plan" shall mean an individual retirement account described in
Section 408(a) of the Code or an individual retirement annuity described in
Section 408(b) of the Code.

<PAGE>

                           (iv) "Direct Rollover" shall mean a payment by the
Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee.

         5.6 Timing of Distributions.

                  (a) In General. Distribution of the vested portion of
Participant's Account may begin at such time prior to the date specified in
Section 5.6(c) of the Plan as the Administrative Board may determine, provided,
however, that unless the Participant elects otherwise, the distribution of his
benefits under the Plan shall begin no later than one (1) year after the close
of (i) the Plan Year in which the Participant's employment terminates by reason
of retirement on or after his Retirement Date, or by reason of his death or
Total and Permanent Disability or (ii) one (1) year after the close of the fifth
(5th) Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Participant otherwise
terminates employment unless the Participant is reemployed by the Company before
distribution is required to begin under this clause (ii). The foregoing
requirement shall not, however, require distribution of any portion of a
Participant's Account which consists of Company stock acquired with the proceeds
of an exempt loan (described in Section 6.5 of the Plan) prior to the close of
the Plan Year in which such loan is repaid in full.

                  (b) Participant Consent to Certain Distributions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the value of the vested portion of a
Participant's Account exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or exceeded Five
Thousand Dollars ($5,000) at the time of any prior distribution from the Plan,
no distribution may be made to the Participant prior to the Participant's
Retirement Date, unless the Participant consents in writing to an earlier
distribution. Where the vested portion of a deceased Participant's Account
exceeds Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or exceeded Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000) at the time of any prior distribution from the Plan, any distribution
due to the Participant's surviving spouse under Section 5.3 of the Plan


                                       25
<PAGE>


may not be made prior to the date on which the Participant would have reached
his Retirement Date, unless the spouse consents in writing to an earlier
distribution. If the vested portion of the Participant's Account does not exceed
Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) and did not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000)
at the time of any prior distribution from the Plan, the full amount of the
vested portion of such Account shall be distributed in a lump sum as soon as
administratively feasible following the Participant's termination of employment.

                  (c) Latest Distribution Date. Unless a Participant elects
otherwise, in no event shall distributions commence later than the sixtieth
(60th) day following the close of the Plan Year in which the latest of the
following events occur:

                           (i) the Participant reaches his Retirement Date;

                           (ii) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on
which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan; or

                           (iii) the Participant's employment with the Company
terminates.

         5.7 Limitations on Distributions.

                  (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary
and in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(a)(9) of the Code,
distribution of retirement benefits shall begin no later than April 1 of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which a Participant attains age
seventy and one-half (70-1/2), provided, however, distribution to a Participant
who was not a Five-Percent Owner at any time during the five (5) Plan-Year
period ending in the calendar year in which the Participant attained age seventy
and one-half (70-1/2) need not begin until the Participant actually retires.

                  (b) All benefit distributions must be paid over a period of
time which does not exceed the life expectancy of the Participant or the
combined life expectancy of the Participant


                                       26

<PAGE>


and his designated Beneficiary. In the event a Participant dies after
distribution of his benefits has begun, but before the Participant's full
benefits have been distributed, the remaining portion of such benefits shall be
distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used
as of the date of his death. In the event a Participant dies prior to
commencement of the receipt of benefits, the death benefits attributable to such
deceased Participant shall be distributed within five (5) years of the
Participant's death, provided, however, that any portion of the death benefits
which is payable to (or for the benefit of) a designated Beneficiary may be
distributed, commencing within one (1) year of the Participant's death, over the
life of such designated Beneficiary (or over a period not extending beyond the
life of such designated Beneficiary) and further provided that if the designated
Beneficiary is the Participant's surviving spouse, distribution need not begin
earlier than the date on which the Participant would have attained age seventy
and one-half (70-1/2). For purposes of this paragraph, the term "designated
Beneficiary" means any individual designated as a Beneficiary by the
Participant.

         5.8 Amendments to Vesting Provisions of Plan. Anything to the contrary
in the Plan notwithstanding, the vesting provisions of the Plan shall not be
amended so as to result in the nonforfeitable percentage of the accrued benefit
of any Participant, determined as of the later of the date of adoption or
effectiveness of such amendment, being less than his nonforfeitable percentage
computed under the Plan without regard to such amendment. If an amendment to the
Plan changes any vesting schedule hereunder, each Participant having at least
three (3) Years of Service will be permitted to elect, within a reasonable
period after the adoption of such amendment, to have the nonforfeitable
percentage of his benefits accrued under the Plan computed without regard to
such amendment, unless such Participant's nonforfeitable percentage


                                       27
<PAGE>


under the Plan, as amended, at any time cannot be less than such percentage
computed without regard to such amendment.

         5.9 Top-Heavy Contingency.

                  (a) Application. The provisions of this Section 5.9 are
included in the Plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(10)(B)(ii) of the Code and
shall become applicable only if the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan (as defined
below) under Section 416(g) of the Code for any Plan Year.

                  (b) Determination of Top-Heavy Status of Plan. The
determination as to whether the Plan has become a Top-Heavy Plan for any Plan
Year shall be made as of the last day of the immediately preceding Plan Year or,
in the case of the first Plan Year, the last day of such Plan Year (the
"Determination Date"), and the Plan shall be a "Top-Heavy Plan" only if the
aggregate Account balances under the Plan for Key Employees (as defined below)
exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate Account balances under the Plan for
all Employees and former Employees. For this purpose, the aggregate Account
balances shall be computed and adjusted pursuant to Section 416(g) of the Code
and the regulations issued thereunder.

         As used herein, the term "Key Employee" shall mean any Employee or
former Employee who, at any time during the current Plan Year or any of the four
(4) preceding Plan Years, meets the criteria under Section 416(i)(1) of the
Code. A Key Employee shall include the following:

                           (i) an officer of a Company or an Affiliated Company
if such individual's annual compensation from the Company and all Affiliated
Companies exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the dollar limitation then in effect
under Section 415(b)(1)(A) of the Code;

                           (ii) an actual or constructive owner (using the
attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) of both more than a one-half of
one percent (1/2%) interest in the total


                                       28
<PAGE>


ownership value of, and of one of the ten (10) largest percentage ownership
interests in value in, a Company or an Affiliated Company if such individual's
compensation from the Company and all Affiliated Companies exceeds one hundred
percent (100%) of the dollar limitation then in effect under
Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code;

                           (iii) a Five-Percent Owner;

                           (iv) a "one-percent owner" (as defined in
Section 416(i)(1)(B)(ii) of the Code) of a Company or an Affiliated Company who
has annual compensation from the Company and all Affiliated Companies of more
than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000); or

                           (v) Beneficiary of any deceased Employee or former
Employee described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above. In the event the
Beneficiary of a deceased Employee or former Employee qualifies as a Key
Employee, any benefits payable to such Beneficiary shall be treated as benefits
paid to a Key Employee.

         For purposes of clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) above, the term
"compensation" shall mean compensation as defined in Section 414(q)(7) of the
Code. For purposes of clause (i) above, no more than fifty (50) employees (or,
if lesser, the greater of three (3) employees or ten percent (10%) of all
employees) shall be treated as officers.

         The term "Non-Key Employee" shall mean any Employee or former Employee
who is not currently a Key Employee. The term "Non-Key Employee" shall include
former Key Employees, but such former Key Employees shall be excluded entirely
from the calculations to determine whether the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan.

                  (c) Consideration of Multiple Plans in Determining Top-Heavy
Status of Plan. All plans of the Company or an Affiliated Company which are
included in a Required


                                       29

<PAGE>


Aggregation Group or in a Permissive Aggregation Group (both as defined below)
with this Plan shall be considered together in determining whether this Plan is
a Top-Heavy Plan. Each plan of the Company or an Affiliated Company which is
required to be included in an aggregation group (whether required or permissive)
shall be treated as a Top-Heavy Plan if such group is a Top-Heavy Group (as
defined below). For this purpose, a "Required Aggregation Group" shall mean (i)
each plan of the Company or an Affiliated Company in which a Key Employee is a
participant plus (ii) each other plan of the Company or an Affiliated Company
which is required to exist in order for the plans contained in (1), above, to
meet the nondiscrimination requirements of Section 401(a) (4) or 410 of the
Code. A "Permissive Aggregation Group" shall mean (1) a Required Aggregation
Group plus (ii) any other plan or plans of the Company or an Affiliated Company
which are able to separately meet the nondiscrimination requirements of Sections
401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code but which the Sponsor elects to include within
such group.

         An aggregation group (either permissive or required) shall be a
"Top-Heavy Group" only if the sum of (a) the present value of the cumulative
accrued benefits for Key Employees under all defined benefit plans included in
such group and (b) the total of the account balances for Key Employees under all
defined contribution plans included in such group exceeds sixty percent (60%) of
the accrued benefits and account balances determined for all employees and
former employees covered under such plans. For accrued aggregate under the this
purpose, account balances shall be computed and adjusted pursuant to the
principles of Section 416(g) of the Code. In determining the cumulative accrued
benefits and account balances for purposes of this top-heavy test:

                           (i) the present value of the cumulative benefits of
all Key Employees shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to
each such individual plan during the


                                       30

<PAGE>


previous five (5) years (ending on the Determination Date). This provision shall
also apply to distributions under a terminated plan which would have been
required to be included in an aggregation group had the plan not been
terminated;

                           (ii) the extent to which rollovers and transfers are
to be taken into account shall be determined in accordance with Section 416 of
the Code and the regulations issued thereunder; and

                           (iii) the account balances and accrued benefits of
(a) an individual who is not currently a Key Employee but who was a Key Employee
in a prior year or (b) an individual who is a Key Employee but who has not
performed any services for the Company or an Affiliated Company at any time
during the five (5)-year period ending on the Determination Date, shall be
disregarded.

                  (d) Minimum Benefits. For any Plan Year in which the Plan is a
Top-Heavy Plan, each Participant who is a Non-Key Employee and who is employed
by the Company on the last day of the Plan Year shall receive a minimum
allocation of Company contributions and/or forfeitures to his Account under this
Plan which, when combined with the amount of any other contributions and/or
forfeitures allocated to such Participant's accounts under any other defined
contribution plans maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Company, shall be
no less than the lesser of (i) three percent (3%) of his Limitation Year
Compensation for such Plan Year or (ii) such percentage of his Limitation Year
Compensation for such Plan Year which is equal to the highest percentage of
Limitation Year Compensation which any Key Employee received in the form of
Company contributions and/or forfeitures to his Account in this Plan for such
Plan Year.


                                       31
<PAGE>
         For any Plan Year in which a Required Aggregation Group of which this
Plan is a member is a Top-Heavy Group, the minimum top-heavy benefit with
respect to each Participant in this Plan (other than Key Employees) who also
participates in any defined benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliated
Company shall be provided solely under this Plan, in lieu of any minimum benefit
under such defined benefit plan. Each such Participants shall, if employed on
the last day of the Plan Year, received a minimum allocation of contributions
and/or forfeitures totaling at least five percent (5%) of his Limitation Year
Compensation for such Plan Year.

         Any contributions made to a Non-Key Employee's accounts under any
defined contribution plans maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Company
which were made on behalf of such Non-Key Employee pursuant to a cash or
deferred arrangements satisfying the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code
may not be used to satisfy this minimum allocation requirement.

         For purposes of this Section 5.9(d), the term "Limitation Year
Compensation" shall have the same meaning as set forth in Section 4.6(d)(5) of
the Plan provided, however, that a Participant's Limitation Year Compensation
for any Plan Year shall not include any amounts in excess of One Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($150,000) or, effective as of January 1, 2002, Two Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($200,000), as adjusted for increases in the cost of living
pursuant to Section 401(a) (17) of the Code.

                  (e) 415 Limit Adjustments. If the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan for
any Plan Year, the references to a factor of one and twenty-five one-hundredths
(1.25) in Sections 4.6(d)(2)(ii) and 4.6(d)(3)(ii) of the Plan shall be changed
to references to a factor of one (1.0).

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                 THE TRUST FUND

         6.1 Contributions Held in Trust. Contributions shall be held in a Trust
Fund maintained by Trustee, pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement. No
Employee, Participant, surviving spouse or Beneficiary under this Plan or any
other person shall have any interest in or right to any part of the Plan except
as and to the extent provided by the terms of the Plan.

         6.2 No Guarantee of Security Values. The Company does not guarantee or
represent in any way that the value of Company common stock in which the
Participant has an interest will increase or will not decrease. Each Participant
assumes all risks in connection with any changes in the value of the Company
common stock in which his Account is invested.

         6.3 Responsibility of Trustee.

                  (a) The Sponsor shall enter into a Trust Agreement with a
Trustee to be designated by the Administrative Board, which Trustee shall serve
at the pleasure of the Administrative Board. The Trust Agreement shall provide,
among other things, for a Trust Fund (to be administered by the Trustee) to
which all contributions shall be made and from which all distributions shall be
made, and the Trustee shall have such rights, powers and duties as the
Administrative Board shall from time to time determine. All assets of the Trust
Fund shall be held, invested and reinvested in accordance with the provisions of
the Trust Agreement and the Plan. The Trustee shall be responsible solely for
the safekeeping of the assets of the Trust Fund and shall have no responsibility
for the operation or administration of the Plan, except as expressly provided
herein. The Trustee shall have the authority to make distributions from the
Trust Fund and to pay monies at the direction of the Administrative Board or its
designee and in accordance with the terms of this Plan.


                                       33
<PAGE>


                  (b) The Trustee shall evaluate the Trust Fund at fair market
value as of the close of business on each Valuation Date. In making such
evaluation, the Trustee shall deduct all charges, expenses and other
liabilities, if any, contingent or otherwise, then chargeable against the Trust
Fund, in order to give effect to income realized and expenses paid or incurred,
losses sustained and unrealized gains or losses constituting appreciation or
depreciation in the value of Trust investments since the last previous
evaluation. As soon as practicable after such evaluation, the Trustee shall
deliver in writing to the Administrative Board and to the Board of Directors of
the Sponsor an evaluation of the Trust Fund together with a statement of the
amount of net income or loss (including appreciation or depreciation in the
value of Trust investments) since the last previous evaluation.

         6.4 Expenses of the Plan. Neither the principal nor the income of the
Trust Fund shall be used for any purpose whatsoever other than for exclusive
benefit of Participants, retired Participants, surviving spouses, and
Beneficiaries, to meet the necessary expenses of the Plan, or as provided in
Section 9.8 of the Plan. All expenses of the Plan and Trust shall be paid from
the Trust Fund, unless paid directly by the Company in its discretion.

         6.5 Exempt Loans.

                  (a) Terms. The Board of Directors may direct the Trustee to
obtain loans. Any such loan shall meet all requirements necessary to constitute
an "exempt loan" within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 54.4975-7(b)(1)(iii) and shall be used primarily for the benefit of the
Participant and Beneficiaries.

         The proceeds of any such loan shall be used, within a reasonable time
after the loan is obtained, only to purchase Company common stock, repay the
loan, or repay any prior loan. Any such loan shall provide for no more than a
reasonable rate of interest, as determined under


                                       34
<PAGE>


Treasury Regulations Section 54.4975-7(b)(7), and must be without recourse
against the Plan. The number of years to maturity under the loan must be
definitely ascertainable at all times.

         The only assets of the Plan that may be given as collateral for a loan
are shares of Company common stock acquired with the proceeds of the loan and
shares of Company common stock that were used as collateral on a prior loan
repaid with the proceeds of the current loan. Such Company common stock so
pledged shall be placed in a Suspense Account. No person entitled to payments
under a loan shall have recourse against Trust assets other than such
collateral, contributions that are available under the Plan the meet obligations
under the loan, and earnings attributable to such collateral and the investment
of such contributions. All contributions paid during the Plan Year in which a
loan is made (whether before or after the date the proceeds of the loan are
received), all contributions paid thereafter until the loan has been repaid in
full, and all earnings from investment of such contributions, without regard to
whether any such contributions and earnings have been allocated to Participants'
Accounts, shall be available to meet obligations under the loan, unless
otherwise provided by the Company at the time any such contribution is made.

         Any pledge of Company common stock must provide for the release of
shares so pledged, as provided below, upon the payment of any portion of the
loan. For each Plan Year during the duration of the loan, the number of shares
of Company common stock released from such pledge must equal the number of
encumbered shares held immediately before release for the current Plan Year
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of principal and
interest paid for the year, and the denominator of which is the sum of the
numerator plus the principal and interest to be paid for all future years. Such
future years shall be determined without taking into account any possible
extension or renewal periods. In the event the interest


                                       35
<PAGE>


is variable, the interest to be paid in future years must be computed by using
the interest rate applicable as of the end of the Plan Year.

                  (b) Amounts Available for Loan Payments. Payments of principal
and interest on any such loan during a Plan Year shall be made by the Trustee
(as directed by the Administrative Board) only from (1) Company contributions to
the Trust made to meet the Plan's obligation under loan and from any earnings
attributable to Company common stock held as collateral for a loan (both
received during or prior to the Plan Year), less such payment in prior years;
(2) the proceeds of a subsequent loan made to repay a prior loan; and (3) the
proceeds of the sale of any Company common stock held as collateral for a loan.
Such contributions and earnings must be accounted for separately by the Plan
until the loan is repaid.

                  (c) Allocation of Released Stock.. Company common stock
released by reason of the payment of principal or interest on a loan, which
payment is attributable to Company contributions or dividends on Company common
stock, shall immediately, upon release, be credited to the Participants'
Accounts in accordance with the principles of Section 4.2(a) of the Plan.
Company common stock released by reason of the payment of principal or interest
on a loan, which payment is attributable to the sale of any Company common stock
held as collateral for such loan, shall immediately, upon release, be credited
to the Participants' Accounts in proportion to the respective opening account
balances of such Accounts as of the first day of the applicable Plan Year.

                  (d) Company Contributions. The Company intends to contribute
to the Trust, subject to its complete discretion, sufficient amounts to enable
the Trustee to pay principal and interest on any such loans as they are due,
provided, however, that no such contribution shall


                                       36
<PAGE>


exceed the limitations in Section 4.6 of the Plan, or cause the Company to fail
to meet its regulatory capital requirements.


                                  ARTICLE VII

                           ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

         7.1 Administrative Board. The Plan shall be administered by an
Administrative Board consisting of at least three (3) members who shall be
appointed from time to time by the Board of Directors and who shall serve at the
pleasure of the Board of Directors. The members of the Administrative Board
shall not receive any compensation for their services. The Administrative Board
may perform any or all duties and exercise any or all powers of the Company
under this Plan unless specifically reserved herein for the Board of Directors.

         7.2 Organization of Administrative Board. The Board of Directors shall
appoint the Chairman of the Administrative Board. The members of the
Administrative Board shall appoint a Secretary, who may be, but need not be, a
member of the Administrative Board. The Administrative Board shall have the
power to assign or allocate any of its responsibilities among its members
(except the Chairmanship of the Administrative Board), and to designate one or
more persons (including persons who are not members of the Administrative Board)
to execute or deliver any instruments or make any payments on their behalf.


         7.3 Meetings of Administrative Board. The Administrative Board shall
hold meetings upon call by the Chairman or by a majority of the members at such
place or places and at such time or at such intervals as may be stated in the
call, as well as such meetings the place and time of which are fixed in advance
by the Administrative Board. A majority of the members of the Administrative
Board at any time in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business. All resolutions adopted or other actions taken by the Administrative


                                       37
<PAGE>


Board shall be by the vote of a majority of those present at a meeting or by a
majority of the members of the Administrative Board if no meeting is held.
Minutes of all meetings shall be made and preserved. No member of the
Administrative Board may vote or take any other action with respect to a matter
pertaining solely to himself.


         7.4 Powers and Duties of the Administrative Board. Subject to the
limitations of the Plan, the Administrative Board shall have the powers
necessary to discharge its duties hereunder. Any action on matters within the
discretion of the Administrative Board shall be final and conclusive as to all

provided, however, that such indemnification shall not apply to any willful
misconduct, willful failure to act, or gross negligence.

                            AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

         8.1 Right of Termination; Exclusive Benefit Rule. While it is the
intention of the Company to continue the Plan so long as the Code permits, the
Board of Directors, or if the Board of Directors so resolves, the Administrative
Board shall, with respect to all Participants, have the right to terminate the
Plan at any time or to amend the Plan at any time or from time to time;
provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall be effective
which (i) shall contravene any applicable statute or attempt to transfer any
part of the funds held by the Trustee for purposes other than for the exclusive
benefit of Participants or Beneficiaries or (ii)


                                       42

Section 9.8 of the Plan.

         8.2 Vesting and Allocation of Assets on Termination of Plan.

                  (a) In the event the Plan is terminated or partially
terminated or upon complete discontinuance of contributions under the Plan (all
within the meaning of Section 411(d)(3) of the Code and Treasury Regulations
thereunder), the rights of all affected Participants accrued under the Plan to
the date of such termination, partial termination or complete discontinuance
shall be nonforfeitable, provided, however, that a Participant's recourse for
satisfaction of such rights shall be limited to assets of the Plan.

                  (b) Any distribution after termination of the Plan may be made
at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, to the extent that no
discrimination in value results, in cash, in securities or in other assets in
kind as the Company, in its discretion, may determine and so direct the Trustee.
In making any such distribution, any and all determinations, divisions,
appraisals, apportionments and allotments so made shall be final and conclusive.

         8.3 Right to Amend. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, the Board of Directors may adopt any and all modifications of the Plan
which such Board shall deem necessary or appropriate, provided, however, that no
such modification shall make it possible for any part of the funds of the Plan
to be used for, or diverted to, purposes other than for the exclusive benefit of
Participants, retired Participants, or Beneficiaries under the Plan, except as
provided in Section 9.8 of the Plan. No modification or amendment shall be made

merged or consolidated with, nor may its assets or liabilities be transferred
to, any other plan unless each Participant, retired Participant or Beneficiary
under the Plan would, if the resulting plan were then terminated, receive a
benefit immediately after the merger, consolidation or transfer which is equal
to or greater than the benefit he would have been entitled to receive
immediately before the merger, consolidation, or transfer if the Plan had been
terminated.

respect to a Participant under the Plan, and which meets the following
requirements:

                           (A) such order shall specify the name and last known

                           (E) such order shall not require the Plan to provide
any type or form of benefits or any option not otherwise provided under the
Plan,

                           (F) such order shall not require the Plan to provide
increased benefits (determined on the basis of actuarial value), and

                           (G) such order shall not require the payment of
benefits to an alternate payee which are required to be paid to another
alternate payee under another order previously determined to be a Qualified

                  (ii) The Administrative Board shall determine a set of
nondiscriminatory and reasonable procedures to determine the qualified status of
domestic relations orders and to administer distributions under such qualified

         9.3 Payments to Incompetents. Upon direction from the Company to the
Trustee (i) that a person entitled to receive any benefits under the Plan is
physically or mentally incompetent to receive such benefits and to give a valid
release therefore, (ii) that another person or an institution is then
maintaining or has custody of such Participant or Beneficiary, and (iii) that no
guardian, committee or other representative of the estate of such Participant or
Beneficiary has been duly appointed, the Trustee may pay such benefits to such
other person or institution, and the release of such other person or institution
shall be a valid and complete discharge for such payment.

         9.4 Payments to Minors. In the absence of the appointment of a legal
guardian, any amount payable to a minor may be paid at a rate not exceeding One
Hundred Dollars ($100) a month to such adult or adults as have, in the opinion
of the Company as communicated to the Trustee, assumed the custody or principal
support of such minor.

         9.5 Inability to Locate Participants or Beneficiaries. If the Company
is unable, after reasonable effort, to ascertain the identity, whereabouts or
existence of any Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable under
this Plan, the benefit otherwise payable to the Participant or Beneficiary shall
be forfeited, anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Plan
notwithstanding; provided, however, that any benefits so forfeited shall be
reinstated if a claim is subsequently made by such Participant or Beneficiary or
if proof of death of such person satisfactory to the Company is received by the
Company.

escheat, shall be applied to reduce subsequent Company contributions to the
Plan, and any restorations hereunder shall be made as Company contributions.

         9.6 Rights of Employees and Company. Nothing contained in the Plan
shall be deemed to give any Employee or any Participant the right to be retained
in the service of the Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to
discharge any Employee or Participant or change his job, position, title,
authority, duties or rate of compensation at any time without regard to the
effect which such action will have upon his rights, if any, under the Plan.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, all payments of the benefits
provided under the Plan shall be made solely out of funds held for such purpose
by the Trustee hereunder, and the Company shall have no liability for such
payments.

         9.7 Governing Laws. Except insofar as other federal legislation or
applicable regulation shall govern, the validity and construction of the Plan

and the terms of any contract or policy issued hereunder, the provisions of the
Plan shall control. The Plan is intended to qualify under the Code and to comply
with the provisions of ERISA and regulations thereunder and any other applicable
federal laws and regulations, and the provisions of the Plan shall be construed
to effectuate such intention.
