referred to in Paragraph 4 hereof, this option shall expire one (1) year after
the date of Optionee's death or on the day specified in Paragraph 2 hereof,
whichever is earlier. After Optionee's death but before such expiration, the
persons to whom Optionee's rights under this option shall have passed by Will or
by the applicable laws of descent and distribution or the executor or
administrator of Optionee's estate shall have the right to exercise this option
as to those shares for which installments had accrued under Paragraph 2 hereof
as of the date on which Optionee ceased to be employed by or ceased to be a
director of the Bank or a subsidiary corporation. If the Optionee terminates his

the expiration date specified n paragraph 2 hereof, whichever is earlier.

with the right of the Bank or a subsidiary corporation to reduce Optionee's
compensation.

      8. Privileges of Stock Ownership. Optionee shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to the Bank's stock subject to this option until the
date of issuance of stock certificates to Optionee. Except as provided in the
Plan, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date such stock certificates are issued.

      9. Modification and Termination by Board of Directors. The rights of
Optionee are subject to modification and termination upon the occurrence of
certain events as provided in Sections 13 and 14 of the Plan.
