| 7)   | Payment      of Additional Benefits under Certain  Circumstances. |
|----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

| a)   | If      the payments and benefits pursuant to Section 6 hereof, either alone or      together with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the      right to receive from the Employers (including, without limitation, the      payments and benefits which the Executive would have the right to receive      from the Bank pursuant to Section 6 of the Bank Agreement, before      giving effect to any reduction in such amounts pursuant to Section 7      of the Bank Agreement), would constitute a “parachute payment” as defined      in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code (the “Initial Parachute Payment,” which      includes the amounts paid pursuant to clause (i) below), then the      Corporation shall pay to the Executive, a cash amount in two equal      installments, with the first installment to be paid on the first business      day of the month following the Date of      Termination and the second installment to be paid on the first anniversary      of the Date of Termination.  The cash amount shall be equal to      the sum of the following: |
|----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| i)   | the      amount by which the payments and benefits that would have otherwise been      paid by the Bank to the Executive pursuant to Section 6 of the Bank      Agreement are reduced by the provisions of Section 7 of the Bank      Agreement; |
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| ii)   | twenty      percent (or such other percentage equal to the tax rate imposed by      Section 4999 of the Code) of the amount by which the Initial      Parachute Payment exceeds the Executive’s “base amount” from the      Employers, as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, with the      difference between the Initial Parachute Payment and the Executive’s base      amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Excess Parachute      Payment”; and |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

----

| iii)   | such      additional amount (tax allowance) as may be necessary to compensate the      Executive for the payment by the Executive of state and federal income and      excise taxes on the payment provided under clause (ii) above and on any      payments under this clause (iii).  In computing such tax      allowance, the payment to be made under clause (ii) above shall be      multiplied by the “gross up percentage” (“GUP”).  The GUP shall      be determined as follows: |
|------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| iv)   | Tax      Rate |
|-----------------|---------------|

| v)   | Notwithstanding      the foregoing, if it shall subsequently be determined in a final judicial      determination or a final administrative settlement to which the Executive      is a party that the actual excess parachute payment as defined in Section      280G(b)(1) of the Code is different from the Initial Excess Parachute      Payment (such different amount being hereafter referred to as the      “Determinative Excess Parachute Payment”), then the Corporation’s      independent tax counsel or accountants shall determine the amount (the      “Adjustment Amount”) which either the Executive must pay to the      Corporation or the Corporation must pay to the Executive in order to put      the Executive (or the Corporation, as the case may be) in the same      position the Executive (or the Corporation, as the case may be) would have      been if the Initial Excess Parachute Payment had been equal to the      Determinative Excess Parachute Payment.  In determining the      Adjustment Amount, the independent tax counsel or accountants shall take      into account any and all taxes (including any penalties and interest) paid      by or for the Executive or refunded to the Executive or for the      Executive’s benefit.  As soon as practicable after the      Adjustment Amount has been so determined, the Corporation shall pay the      Adjustment Amount to the Executive or the Executive shall repay the      Adjustment Amount to the Corporation, as the case may  be. |
|----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| b)   | In      each calendar year that the Executive receives payments of benefits under      this Section 7, the Executive shall report on his state and federal      income tax returns such information as is consistent with the      determination made by the independent tax counsel or accountants of the      Corporation as described above.  The Corporation shall indemnify      and hold the Executive harmless from any and all losses, costs and      expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees,      interest, fines and penalties) which the Executive incurs as a result of      so reporting such information.  The Executive shall promptly      notify the Corporation in writing whenever the Executive receives notice      of the institution of a judicial or administrative proceeding, formal or      informal, in which the federal tax treatment under Section 4999 of the      Code of any amount paid or payable under this Section 7 is being      reviewed or is in dispute.  The Corporation shall assume      control, at its expense, over all legal and accounting matters pertaining      to such federal tax treatment (except to the extent necessary or      appropriate for the Executive to resolve any such proceeding with respect      to any matter unrelated to amounts paid or payable pursuant to this      Section) and the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Corporation in      any such proceeding.  The Executive shall not enter into any      compromise or settlement or otherwise prejudice any rights the Corporation      may have in connection therewith without the prior consent of the      Corporation. |
|----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 8)   | 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 so long as the Executive has not breached this      Agreement.  In the event of any breach of this Agreement by the      Executive following the Date of Termination, the Executive shall      immediately repay to the Corporation all severance payments paid to him      under Section 6 hereof and all amounts paid to him under Section 7 hereof,      plus interest at the rate of 10% per annum from the date of such breach      until all such severance payments and other amounts have been repaid in      full to the Corporation. |
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 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 Employers pursuant to employee benefit plans of the      Employers or otherwise. |
|----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 9)   | Withholding.  All      payments required to be made by the Corporation hereunder to the Executive      shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any, relating to      taxes and other payroll deductions as the Corporation may reasonably      determine should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or      regulation. |
|----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 10)   | Assignability.  The      Corporation may, without the consent of the Executive, assign this      Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in      part, to any corporation, bank or other Person with or into which the      Corporation may hereafter merge or consolidate or to which the Corporation      may transfer all or substantially all of its assets, if in any such case      such corporation, bank or other Person shall by operation of law or      expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Corporation 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. |

| 25)   | Cooperation.

| 26)   | Certain      Remedies.  The Executive agrees that the Corporation will      suffer irreparable damage and injury and will not have an adequate remedy      at law in the event of any actual, threatened or attempted breach by the      Executive of any provision of Section 3.  Accordingly, in the      event of a breach or a threatened or attempted breach by the Executive of      any provision of Section 3, in addition to all other remedies to which the      Corporation is entitled at law, in equity or otherwise, the Corporation      shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order, a permanent injunction      and/or a decree of specific performance of any provision of Section      3.  The parties agree that a bond posted by the Corporation in      the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) shall be adequate and      appropriate in connection with such restraining order or injunction and      that actual damages need not be proved by the Corporation prior to it      being entitled to obtain such restraining order, injunction or specific      performance.  The foregoing remedies shall not be deemed to be      the exclusive rights or remedies of the Corporation for any breach of or      noncompliance with this Agreement by the Executive but shall be in      addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Corporation at      law, in equity or otherwise. |
