6.   INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS
     -----------------------

     Grant of Options
     ----------------

     The Committee may, from time to time, grant Incentive Stock Options to
eligible employees. Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall
be subject to the following terms and conditions:

     (a)  Price. The purchase price per share of Common Stock deliverable upon
the exercise of each incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of the Bank's Common Stock on the Date of Grant. However, if a
Participant owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of Common Stock of the Bank, the purchase price per share
of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of each Incentive Stock Option
shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Bank's Common Stock
on the Date of Grant. Shares may be purchased only upon payment of the full
purchase price in cash.

     (b)  Amounts of Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted to any
eligible employee in such amounts as determined by the Committee. The aggregate
Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the option is granted) of the
Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted are
exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Participant's employer corporation and its parent and
subsidiary corporations) shall not exceed $100,000.00. The provisions of this
Section 6(b) shall be construed and applied in accordance with Section 422(d) of
the Code and the regulations, if any, promulgated thereunder. To the extent an
award under this Section 6 exceeds this $100,000.00 limit, the portion of the
award in excess of such limit shall be deemed a Non-statutory Stock Option.

     (c)  Terms of Options. The term during which each Incentive Stock Option
may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee, but in no event shall an
Incentive Stock Option be exercisable in whole or in part more than 10 years
from the Date of Grant. If at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted to
an employee, the employee owns Common Stock representing more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of the Bank (or, under Section 425(d) of the Code,
is deemed to own Common Stock representing more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all such classes of Common Stock, by reason of the ownership of
such classes of Common Stock, directly or indirectly, by or for any brother,
sister, spouse, ancestor or lineal descendant of such employee, or by or for any
corporation, partnership, estate or trust of which such employee is a
shareholder, partner or beneficiary), the Incentive Stock Option granted to such
employee shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the
Date of Grant. No Incentive Stock Option granted under this Plan is transferable
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution and is exercisable in his
lifetime only by the employee to whom it is granted.

<PAGE>

     The Committee, in its discretion, may in issuing such options, include the
following conditions in addition to those conditions otherwise set forth in this
Plan: (i) A limitation upon the times during a year when options may be
exercised; (ii) A limitation upon the portion of an optionee's options which may
be exercised in any one year; and (iii) an age limitation upon the persons who
may be granted options. The Committee shall determine the date on which each
Incentive Stock Option shall become exercisable and may provide that an
Incentive Stock Option shall become exercisable in installments. The shares
comprising each installment may be purchased in whole or in part at any time
after such installment becomes purchasable, provided that the amount able to be
first exercised in a given year is consistent with the terms of Section 422 of
the Code. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at
which any Incentive Stock Option may be exercised in whole or in part, provided
that it is consistent with the terms of Section 422 of the Code. Notwithstanding
the above, in the event of a Change in Control of the Bank, all Incentive Stock
Options shall become immediately exercisable.

     (d)  Termination of Employment. Upon the termination of a Participant's
service for any reason other than Disability, Retirement, Change in Control,
death or Termination for Cause, the Participant's Incentive Stock Options shall
be exercisable only as to those shares which were immediately purchasable by the
Participant at the date of termination and only for a period of three months
following termination. In the event of Termination for Cause all rights under
the Participant's Incentive Stock Options shall expire upon termination.

     In the event of death or Disability of any employee, all Incentive Stock
Options held by such Participant, whether or not exercisable at such time, shall
be exercisable by the Participant or the Participant's legal representatives or
beneficiaries for one year following the date of the Participant's death or
cessation of employment due to Disability. Upon termination of the Participant's
service due to Retirement, or a Change in Control, all Incentive Stock Options
held by such Participant, whether or not exercisable at such time, shall be
exercisable for a period of one year following the date of Participant's
cessation of employment, provided, however, that such option shall not be
eligible for treatment as an Incentive Stock Option in the event such option is
exercised more than three months following the date of the Participant's
Retirement. In no event shall the exercise period extend beyond the expiration
of the Incentive Stock Option term.

     (e)  Compliance with Code. The options granted under the Plan are intended
to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Code, but the Company makes no warranty as to the qualifications of any option
as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

7.   SURRENDER OPTION
     ----------------

     In the event of a Participant's termination of employment as a result of
death, Disability or Retirement, the Participant (or the Participant's personal
representative(s), heir(s), or devisee(s)) may, in a form acceptable to the
Committee make application to surrender all or part of options held by such
Participant in exchange for a cash payment from the Bank of an amount equal to
the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of
termination of employment and the exercise price per share of the option on the
Date of Grant. Whether the Committee accepts such application or the Bank
determines to make payment, in whole or part, is within the absolute and sole
discretion of the Committee and the Bank, it being expressly understood that the
Committee and the Bank are under no obligation to any Participant whatsoever to
make such payments. In the event that the Committee accepts such application and
the Bank determines to make payment, such payment shall be in lieu of the
exercise of the underlying option and such option shall cease to be exercisable.

8.   RIGHTS OF A SHAREHOLDER: NON-TRANSFERABILITY
     --------------------------------------------

     No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any
shares covered by Incentive Stock Option until the date of issuance of a stock
certificate for such shares. Nothing in this Plan or in any Award granted
confers on any person any right to continue in the employ of the Bank or its
Affiliates or to continue to perform services for the Bank or its Affiliates or
interferes in any way with the right of the Bank or its Affiliates to terminate
a Participant's services as an officer or other employee at any time.

<PAGE>

     No Award under the Plan shall be transferable by the optionee other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution and may only be exercised during
his lifetime by the optionee, or by a guardian or legal representative.

9.   AGREEMENT WITH GRANTEES
     -----------------------

     Each Award will be evidenced by a written agreement, executed by the
Participant and the Bank or its Affiliates which describes the conditions for
receiving the Awards including the date of Award, the number of shares that may
be acquired through its exercise, the purchase price per share, applicable
periods and any other terms and conditions as may be required by the Board of
Directors or applicable securities law.

10.  MANNER OF EXERCISE
     ------------------

     Each exercise of an option shall be by notice in writing to the Chief
Executive Officer of the Bank (except in the case of an exercise by the Chief
Executive Officer, said notice shall be made to the Chairman), accompanied by
payment in full of the option price of the shares then being purchased. Such
option price shall be payable in U.S. Dollars upon the exercise of the option by
cash, certified check, Bank draft or money order payable to the order of the
Bank.

11.  DILUTION AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
     ------------------------------

     In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Bank by reason of any stock dividend or split, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, spin-off, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares, or
other share combination, or other similar corporate change, or other increase or
decrease in such shares without receipt or payment of consideration by the
Company, the Committee will make adjustments (provided those adjustments are
approved by the Superintendent of Banks) to previously granted Awards to prevent
dilution or enlargement of the rights of the Participant, including any or all
of the following:

     (a)  adjustments in the aggregate number or kind of shares of Common Stock
          which may be awarded under the Plan;

     (b)  adjustments in the number of shares which may be optioned to any
          single individual;

     (c)  adjustments in the aggregate number or kind of shares of Common Stock
          covered by Awards already made under the Plan; and

     (d)  adjustments in the purchase price of outstanding Incentive Stock
          Options.

     No such adjustments may, however, materially change the value of benefits
available to a Participant under a previously granted Award.

12.  TAX WITHHOLDING
     ---------------

     There shall be deducted from each distribution of cash and/or Common Stock
under the Plan the amount required by any governmental authority to be withheld
for income and withholding tax purposes.

13.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
     ---------------------

     The Board of Directors may at any time, and from time to time, modify or
amend the Plan in any respect, subject to any required approval by the
Superintendent of Banks of the State of New York, provided however, the Board of
Directors shall not without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding Common Stock of the Bank (i) increase the maximum number of
shares for which options may be granted under the Plan, except as provided in
Section 11; (ii) reduce the minimum option price; (iii) extend the term of the
Plan or the period during which options may be granted or exercised; (iv) amend
the requirements as to the class of employees or persons eligible to receive
options; or (v) change the number of shares which may be optioned to any one
individual. No termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of
the individual to whom any option shall theretofore have been granted, adversely
affect the rights of such individual under such option.

<PAGE>

     Failure to ratify or approve amendments or modifications to subsections (i)
through (v) of this Section by shareholders shall be effective only as to the
specific amendment or modification requiring such ratification. Other
provisions, sections, and subsections of this Plan will remain in full force and
effect.

     No such termination, modification or amendment may affect the rights of a
Participant under an outstanding Award.

14.  EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN
     ----------------------

     The Plan shall become effective upon the later to occur of:

     (a)  approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
          Common Stock of the Bank; and

     (b)  final approval of the Plan by the Superintendent of Banks of the State
          of New York.

15.  TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
     -----------------------

     The right to grant Awards under the Plan will terminate on February 10,
2008. The Board of Directors has the right to suspend or terminate the Plan at
any time, provided that no such action will, without the consent of a
Participant, adversely affect his or her rights under a previously granted
Award.

16.  APPLICABLE LAW
     --------------

     The Plan will be administered in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York. The Plan, and the grant and exercise of Options hereunder, and the

subject to the provisions of Section 140-a of the Banking Law of the State of
New York and the regulations of the New York State Banking Board and to such
approvals by any other regulatory or governmental agency as may be required.
