        3.     Benefits.

               (a)  Participation  in Retirement and Employee Benefit Plans. The
Employee  shall be entitled  while  employed  hereunder to  participate  in, and
receive benefits under, all plans relating to pension,  thrift,  profit-sharing,
group life  insurance,  medical  coverage,  education,  cash bonuses,  and other
retirement or employee benefits or combinations thereof, that are maintained for
the benefit of the Bank's executive employees or for its employees generally.

               (b)  Fringe  Benefits.  The  Employee  shall  be  eligible  while

employees or to its employees generally.

        4. Term. The term of employment  under this Agreement  shall be a period
of two (2) years commencing February 1, 1999 (the "Commencement Date"),  subject
to earlier termination as provided herein.

        5.  Vacations.  The Employee shall be entitled to an annual  vacation in
accordance  with  policy set by the  Board.  The  timing of  vacations  shall be
scheduled in a reasonable manner by the Employee.

        6.     Termination of Employment; Death.

               (a) The Board may  terminate  the  Employee's  employment  at any
time, but any termination by the Board other than  termination for cause,  shall
not prejudice the Employee's  right to compensation or other benefits under this
Agreement.  The Employee  shall have no right to receive  compensation  or other
benefits for any period after  termination  for cause.  If the employment of the
Employee is involuntarily terminated, other than for "cause" as provided in this
Section 6(a) or pursuant to any of Sections  6(d) through  6(g), or by reason of
death or  disability  as provided in Sections  6(c) or 7, the Employee  shall be
entitled to (i) his then applicable  salary for the  then-remaining  term of the
Agreement as  calculated in  accordance  with Section 4 hereof,  payable in such
manner and at such times as such salary  would have been payable to the Employee
under  Section 2 had he  remained  in the  employ of the Bank,  (ii) and  health
insurance  benefits  as  maintained  by the Bank for the  benefit  of its senior
executive  employees or its employees  generally over the then-remaining term of
the Agreement as calculated in accordance with Section 4 hereof.

        The terms "termination" or "involuntarily  terminated" in this Agreement
shall refer to the termination of the employment of Employee without his express
written consent.

        In case of termination of the Employee's  employment for cause, the Bank
shall pay the Employee his salary through the date of termination,  and the Bank
shall have no further  obligation  to the  Employee  under this  Agreement.  For
purposes of this Agreement,  termination  for "cause" shall include  termination
for personal  dishonesty,  incompetence,  poor  performance  review by the Bank,
willful  misconduct,   breach  of  fiduciary  duty  involving  personal  profit,
intentional  failure to perform  stated  duties,  willful  violation of any law,
rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final
cease-and-desist order, or material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

               (b) The Employee's  employment  may be voluntarily  terminated by
the Employee at any time upon 90 days'  written  notice to the Bank or upon such
shorter period as may be agreed upon between the Employee and the Board.  In the
event of such voluntary termination,  the Bank shall be obligated to continue to
pay the Employee his salary and benefits  only through the date of  termination,
at the time such payments are due, and the Bank shall have no further obligation
to the Employee under this Agreement.

               (c) In the event of the death of the Employee  during the term of
employment  under this  Agreement and prior to any  termination  hereunder,  the

in  writing,  shall be  entitled  to  receive  from the Bank the  salary  of the
Employee  through  the last day of the  calendar  month in which his death shall
have occurred, and the term of employment under this Agreement shall end on such
last day of the month.

               (d) If the Employee is suspended  and/or  temporarily  prohibited
from participating in the conduct of the Bank's affairs by a notice served under
Section  8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the Federal  Deposit  Insurance Act  ("FDIA"),  12
U.S.C. ss.  1818(e)(3) and (g)(1),  the Bank's  obligations under this Agreement
shall be  suspended  as of the date of  service,  unless  stayed by  appropriate
proceedings.  If the charges in the notice are  dismissed,  the Bank may, in its
discretion,  (i) pay the Employee all or part of the compensation withheld while
its obligations  under this Agreement were suspended and (ii) reinstate in whole
or in part any of its obligations which were suspended.

               (e) If the Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from
participating  in the  conduct of the Bank's  affairs by an order  issued  under
Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the FDIA, 12 U.S.C. ss. 1818(e)(4) and (g)(1),  all
obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective
date of the order,  but vested  rights of the  contracting  parties shall not be
affected.

               (f) If the Bank is in default (as  defined in Section  3(x)(1) of
the FDIA),  all obligations  under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date
of  default,  but this  provision  shall not  affect  any  vested  rights of the
contracting parties.

               (g) All  obligations  under this  Agreement  shall be terminated,
except to the extent determined that continuation of this Agreement is necessary
for the  continued  operation of the Bank:  (i) by the Director of the Office of
Thrift  Supervision  (the  "Director")  or his or her designee,  at the time the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance   Corporation   ("FDIC")  or  the  Resolution  Trust
Corporation  ("RTC")  enters into an  agreement to provide  assistance  to or on
behalf of the Bank under the  authority  contained in Section 13(c) of the FDIA;
or (ii) by the Director or his or her designee,  at the time the Director or his
or her designee  approves a supervisory  merger to resolve  problems  related to
operation of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director to be in an
unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested,
however, shall not be affected by any such action.

        7.  Disability.  If the Employee shall become disabled as defined in the
Bank's then current disability plan or if the Employee shall be otherwise unable
to serve as Senior Vice  President  and Chief  Financial  Officer,  the Employee
shall be entitled to receive group and other  disability  income benefits of the
type then provided by the Bank for other executive employees.

        8.     Change in Control.

               (a)  Involuntary  Termination.  If the  Employee's  employment is
involuntarily  terminated  (other  than for cause or pursuant to any of Sections
6(c) through 6(g) or Section 7 of this  Agreement) in connection  with or within
12 months after a change in control  which occurs at any time during the term of
employment  under this  Agreement,  the Bank shall pay to the Employee in a lump
sum in  cash  within  25  business  days  after  the  Date  of  Termination  (as
hereinafter  defined) of  employment  an amount  equal to the greater of two (2)
years'  salary under  Section  2(a) of this  Agreement,  or his then  applicable
salary for the remaining term of this Agreement.

        For purposes of this paragraph 8(a), an involuntary  termination  shall,
at the  employee's  option,  be deemed to be (i) a reduction  in the  Employee's
then-applicable  salary,  or (ii) a diminution of the Employee's  duties,  which
shall be defined  as a  material  reduction  or  adverse  change in the  salary,
perquisites,   benefits,   contingent  benefits,  or  vacation  time  which  had
previously  been  provided to the Employee,  or a material  reduction or adverse
change  in the  Employee's  previous  position  or job  description,  or (iii) a
relocation  of the  Employee to a new work  location  more than sixty (60) miles
from his previous work location.

               (b)  Definitions.  For  purposes  of  Sections  6 and  8 of  this
Agreement,  "Date of  Termination"  means the earlier of (i) the date upon which
the Bank gives notice to the Employee of the  termination of his employment with
the Bank or (ii) the date upon which the Employee ceases to serve as an Employee
of the Bank,  and "change in control" is defined  solely as any  acquisition  of
control, as defined in 12 C.F.R. ss. 574.4, or any successor regulation,  of the
Bank which would require the filing of an application for acquisition of control
or notice of change in control in a manner as set forth in 12 C.F.R.  ss. 574.3,
or any successor regulation.

        9.  Miscellaneous.  This Agreement  shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable   by   the   personal   and   legal   representatives,    executors,
administrators,  successors, assigns, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees
of the parties.

     10.  Notice.  For the  purposes  of this  Agreement,  notices and all other

mail, return receipt requested,  postage prepaid.  All notices to the Bank shall

of the Bank,  with a copy to the  Secretary  of the  Bank.  All  notices  to the
Employee  shall  be sent to the  home or  other  address  he has  most  recently
provided in writing to the Bank.

     11.  Amendments.  This  Agreement  is  subject  to the  terms  of a  letter
