does not result in a proportionately greater adverse change in the rights of or
benefits to the Executive as compared with any other executive officer of the
Employer. Nothing paid to the Executive under any plan or arrangement presently
in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed to be in lieu of the
salary payable to the Executive pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof.

     (c) During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to
paid annual vacation in accordance with the policies as established from time to

reason, including without limitation termination for Cause, Disability or
Retirement, and the Executive shall have the right, upon prior Notice of
Termination, to terminate his employment hereunder for any reason.

     (b) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE OR VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION. In the event that the
(i) the Executive's employment is terminated by the Employer for Cause, or (ii)
the Executive terminates his employment hereunder other than for Good Reason,
the Executive shall have no right pursuant to this Agreement to compensation or
other benefits for any period after the applicable Date of Termination.

     (c) TERMINATION DUE TO DISABILITY, RETIREMENT OR DEATH. In the event that
the Executive's employment is terminated as a result of Disability, Retirement
or the Executive's death during the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall
have no right pursuant to this Agreement to compensation or other benefits for

     (d) INVOLUNTARY OR GOOD REASON TERMINATION PRIOR TO A CHANGE IN CONTROL. In
the event that (i) the Executive's employment is terminated by the Employer for
other than Cause, Disability, Retirement or the Executive's death or (ii) such
employment is terminated by the Executive (a) due to a material breach of this
Agreement by the Employer, which breach has not been cured within fifteen (15)
days after a written notice of non-compliance has been given by the Executive to
the Employer, or (b) for Good Reason, in each case prior to a Change in Control,
then the Employer shall:

          (A) pay to the Executive in a lump sum as of the Date of Termination,
     a cash severance amount equal to the product of two (2) times (i) the
     Executive's then current Base Salary, and (ii) the cash bonus paid to the
     Executive by the Employer for the calendar year preceding the Date of
     Termination; and

          (B) maintain and provide for a period ending at the earlier of (i)
     twenty-four (24) months subsequent to the Date of Termination or (ii) the
     date of the Executive's full-time employment by another employer (provided
     that the Executive is entitled under the terms of such employment to
     benefits substantially similar to those described in this subparagraph
     (B)), with the Executive responsible for paying the same share of any
     premiums, co-payments or deductibles as if he was still an employee, the
     Executive's continued participation in all group insurance, life insurance,
     health and accident, disability and other employee benefit plans, programs
     and arrangements in which the Executive was entitled to participate
     immediately prior to the Date of Termination (other than retirement plans
     or stock compensation plans of the Employer or the Corporation), subject to
     Section 5(f) below and provided that in the event that the Executive's
     participation in any plan, program or arrangement as provided in this
     subparagraph (B) is barred or during such period any such plan, program or
     arrangement is discontinued or the benefits thereunder materially reduced,
     the Employer shall arrange to provide the Executive with benefits
     substantially similar to


                                       5

<PAGE>

     those which the Executive was entitled to receive under such plans,
     programs and arrangements immediately prior to the Date of Termination.

     (e) INVOLUNTARY OR GOOD REASON TERMINATION CONCURRENTLY WITH OR SUBSEQUENT
TO A CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event that (i) the Executive's employment is
terminated by the Employer for other than Cause, Disability, Retirement or the
Executive's death or (ii) such employment is terminated by the Executive (a) due
to a material breach of this Agreement by the Employer, which breach has not
been cured within fifteen (15) days after a written notice of non-compliance has
been given by the Executive to the Employer, or (b) for Good Reason, in each
case either concurrently with or subsequent to a Change in Control, then the
Employer shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, if applicable,

          (A) pay to the Executive, in a lump sum as of the Date of Termination,
     a cash severance amount equal the product of three (3) times (i) the
     Executive's then current Base Salary, and (ii) the cash bonus paid to the
     Executive by the Employer for the calendar year preceding the Date of
     Termination; and

          (B) maintain and provide for a period ending at the earlier of (i)
     thirty-six (36) months subsequent to the Date of Termination or (ii) the
     date of the Executive's full-time employment by another employer (provided
     that the Executive is entitled under the terms of such employment to
     benefits substantially similar to those described in this subparagraph
     (B)), with the Executive responsible for paying the same share of any
     premiums, co-payments or deductibles as if he was still an employee, the
     Executive's continued participation in all group insurance, life insurance,
     health and accident, disability and other employee benefit plans, programs
     and arrangements in which the Executive was entitled to participate
     immediately prior to the Date of Termination (other than retirement plans
     or stock compensation plans of the Employer or the Corporation), subject to
     Section 5(f) below and provided that in the event that the Executive's
     participation in any plan, program or arrangement as provided in this
     subparagraph (B) is barred or during such period any such plan, program or
     arrangement is discontinued or the benefits thereunder are materially
     reduced, the Employer shall arrange to provide the Executive with benefits
     substantially similar to those which the Executive was entitled to receive
     under such plans, programs and arrangements immediately prior to the Date
     of Termination.

     (f) COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A OF THE CODE. Notwithstanding any other
provisions contained in this Agreement, if the provision of any of the benefits
covered by this Section 5 would trigger the 20% tax and interest penalties under
Section 409A of the Code either due to the nature of such benefit or the length
of time it is being provided, then the benefit(s) that would trigger such tax
and interest penalties due to the nature of such benefit shall not be provided
at all and the benefit(s) that would trigger the tax and interest penalties if
provided beyond the "limited period of time" set forth in the regulations under
Section 409A shall not be provided beyond such limited period of time (the
"Excluded Benefits"), and in lieu of the Excluded Benefits the Employer shall
pay to the Executive, in a lump sum within 30 days following termination of
employment or within 30 days after such determination should it occur after
termination of employment, a cash amount equal to the cost to the Employer of
providing the Excluded Benefits.


                                       6

<PAGE>

     6.  LIMITATION OF BENEFITS UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. If the payments and
benefits pursuant to Section 5 hereof, either alone or together with other
payments and benefits which the Executive has the right to receive from the
Employer, would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code,
then the payments and benefits payable by the Employer pursuant to Section 5
hereof shall be reduced by the minimum amount necessary to result in no portion
of the payments and benefits under Section 5 being non-deductible to the
Employer pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax
imposed under Section 4999 of the Code. If the payments and benefits under
Section 5 are required to be reduced, the cash severance shall be reduced first,
followed by a reduction in the fringe benefits. The determination of any
reduction in the payments and benefits to be made pursuant to Section 5 shall be
based upon the opinion of independent tax counsel selected by the Employer and
paid by the Employer. Such counsel shall promptly prepare the foregoing opinion,
but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the Date of Termination, and
may use such actuaries as such counsel deems necessary or advisable for the
purpose. Nothing contained herein shall result in a reduction of any payments or
benefits to which the Executive may be entitled upon termination of employment
under any circumstances other than as specified in this Section 6, or a
reduction in the payments and benefits specified in Section 5 below zero.

     7.  MITIGATION; EXCLUSIVITY OF BENEFITS.

     (a) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any
benefits hereunder by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the
amount of any such benefits be reduced by any compensation earned by the
Executive as a result of employment by another employer after the Date of
Termination or otherwise, except as set forth in Sections 5(d)(B)(ii) and
5(e)(B)(ii) hereof.

     (b) The specific arrangements referred to herein are not intended to
exclude any other benefits which may be available to the Executive upon a
termination of employment with the Employer pursuant to employee benefit plans
of the Employer or otherwise.

     8.  WITHHOLDING. All payments required to be made by the Employer hereunder
to the Executive shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any,
relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Employer may reasonably
determine should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

     9.  ASSIGNABILITY. The Employer may assign this Agreement and its rights
and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any corporation, bank or
other entity with or into which the Employer may hereafter merge or consolidate
or to which the Employer may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if
in any such case said corporation, bank or other entity shall by operation of
law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Employer hereunder as
fully as if it had been originally made a party hereto, but may not otherwise
assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder. The Executive may
not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder.

     10. NOTICE. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other
communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed to have been duly given

similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or
subsequent time. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Bank may amend in good faith any terms of this Agreement,

any other cash compensation, fringe benefits and any compensation and benefits
due to the Executive under this Agreement.
