                                    BENEFITS

         2.1 Severance Benefits. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the
Savings Bank shall pay monthly to the Participant the Severance  Benefit Amount,
as described and in the amount set forth at Article II, Section 2.2.  Payment of
such Severance Benefit Amount shall begin on the first business day of the month
following such Termination  Event. The payments will continue to be paid monthly
until all scheduled payments are made to the Participant.  Except as provided at
Article  II,  Section 2.2 upon a  Participant's  termination  from  service as a
Director of the Savings  Bank prior to a  Termination  Event,  the Savings  Bank
shall have no financial obligations to the Participant under the Plan.

calculated and payable as follows:

                                        2

<PAGE>




                  a. A Severance  Benefit  Amount  shall be paid for a period of
         months based upon service of the  Participant  prior to the Termination
         Event as follows:

          Years of Service          Maximum Number of Monthly Payments
          ----------------          ----------------------------------

          less than 1 year                             0
          1 or more                                   12

                  b. The  Severance  Benefit  Amount shall be  calculated as the
         aggregate  annual  Board  retainer  and regular  monthly  Board fees in
         effect with respect to such Director at the  Termination  Event,  which
         would  normally  be paid during the next  twelve  month  period to such
         Participant as a Director.

                  c. Benefits  payable in accordance with the Plan are exclusive
of any other benefits that may be payable to a participant  under any other plan
of the Bank.

         2.3  Death of  Participant.  Upon the  death  of a  Participant  who is
receiving  benefit  payments  under  the  Plan  prior to his or her  death,  the
remaining  monthly  payments will cease  immediately  and all obligations of the
Savings  Bank  under  the  Plan  shall  cease  to  exist  with  respect  to such
Participant.

         2.4 Alternative Forms Of Benefit Payment. The Committee may at any time
distribute  the  Severance  Benefit  Amount with respect to all future  benefits
payable  pursuant to Article II of the Plan,  in a lump sum payment equal to the
present value of all future benefits payable to such  Participant.  The interest
rate in effect  for a six month U.S.  Treasury  Bill on the date of the lump sum
payment shall be used for purposes of  calculating  the present value of amounts
payable in accordance with Section 2.4.


                                   ARTICLE III

                         TRUST/NON-FUNDED STATUS OF PLAN

         3.1  Trust/Non-Funded  Status of Plan.  Except  as may be  specifically
provided,  nothing  contained in this Plan and no action  taken  pursuant to the
provisions  of this Plan shall  create or be  construed to create a trust of any
kind, or a fiduciary  relationship  between the Savings Bank and the Participant
or any other  person.  Any funds which may be invested  under the  provisions of
this Plan shall  continue for all purposes to be a part of the general  funds of
the Savings  Bank.  No person other than the Savings Bank shall by virtue of the
provisions of this Plan have any interest in such funds.  The Savings Bank shall
not be under  any  obligation  to use such  funds  solely  to  provide  benefits
hereunder,  and no  representations  have been made to any Participant that such
funds can or will be used only to provide benefits hereunder. To the extent that
any person acquires a right to receive  payments from the Savings Bank under the
Plan,  such rights shall be no greater than the right of any  unsecured  general
creditor of the Savings Bank.

                                     VESTING

         4.1 Vesting.  All benefits  under this Plan are deemed  non-vested  and
forfeitable  prior to a Termination  Event. All benefits payable hereunder shall
be deemed 100% vested and non-  forfeitable by the  Participant  upon his or her
meeting the  requirements  set forth at Article II upon a Termination  Event. No
benefits shall be deemed payable hereunder for any period prior to the time that
such benefits shall be deemed 100% vested and non-forfeitable.


                                    ARTICLE V

                                   TERMINATION

         5.1  Termination.  All the  rights  of a  Participant  shall  terminate
immediately  upon the  Participant  ceasing to be in the  active  service of the
Savings Bank prior to a Termination  Event.  A leave of absence  approved by the
Board shall not  constitute  a cessation  of service  within the meaning of this
Section 5.1.


                                   ARTICLE VI

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

         6.1 Other  Benefits.  Nothing in this Plan shall  diminish  or impair a
Participant's eligibility,  participation or benefit entitlement under any other
benefit,  insurance or compensation plan or agreement of the Savings Bank now or
hereinafter in effect.

         6.2 No Effect on Employment  or Service.  This Plan shall not be deemed
to give any  Participant or other person in the employ or service of the Savings
Bank any right to be retained in the  employment or service of the Savings Bank,
or to interfere with the right of the Savings Bank to terminate any  Participant
or such other  person at any time and to treat him or her without  regard to the
effect which such treatment  might have upon him or her as a Participant in this
Plan.

         6.3 Legally Binding. The rights,  privileges,  benefits and obligations
under this Plan are  intended to be legal  obligations  of the Savings  Bank and
binding upon the Savings Bank, its successors and assigns.

         6.4  Modification.  The  Savings  Bank,  by  action  of  the  Board  of
Directors,  reserves the exclusive  right to amend,  modify,  or terminate  this
Plan. Any such  termination,  modification  or amendment  shall not terminate or
diminish any rights or benefits accrued by any Participant prior thereto without
regard to whether  such  rights or  benefits  shall be deemed  vested as of such
date.  The  Savings  Bank shall give  thirty  (30) days notice in writing to any
Participant  prior  to the  effective  date of any  amendment,  modification  or
termination of this Plan.

         6.5 Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
the Plan or the breach  thereof  shall be settled by  arbitration  in accordance
with the Commercial  Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration  Association,
with  such  arbitration  hearing  to be  held  at the  offices  of the  American
Arbitration  Association ("AAA") nearest to the home office of the Savings Bank,
unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Participant and the Savings Bank, and
judgment  upon the award  rendered  by the  arbitrator(s)  may be entered in any
court having jurisdiction thereof.

         6.6  Limitation.  No rights of any  Participant  are  assignable by any
Participant,  in whole or in part,  either by voluntary or involuntary act or by
operation  of law.  The rights of a  Participant  hereunder  are not  subject to
anticipation,  alienation, sale, transfer,  assignment,  pledge,  hypothecation,
encumbrance  or  garnishment  by  creditors  of  the  Participant.   Further,  a
Participant's  rights  under the Plan are not  subject to the debts,  contracts,
liabilities, engagements, or torts of any Participant. No Participant shall have
any right under this Plan or right against any assets held or acquired  pursuant
thereto  other than the rights of a general,  unsecured  creditor of the Savings
Bank pursuant to the  unsecured  promise of the Savings Bank to pay the benefits
accrued  hereunder in accordance  with the terms of this Plan.  The Savings Bank
has no obligation under this Plan to fund or otherwise secure its obligations to
render  payments  hereunder  to a  Participant.  No  Participant  shall have any
discretion in the use,  disposition,  or investment of any asset acquired or set
aside by the Savings Bank to provide benefits under this Plan.

         6.7 ERISA and IRC  Disclaimer.  It is intended that the Plan be neither
an "employee  welfare  benefit plan" nor an "employee  pension benefit plan" for
purposes of the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974,  as amended
("ERISA").  Further, it is intended that the Plan will not cause the interest of
a  Participant  under  the Plan to be  includable  in the  gross  income of such
Participant prior to the actual receipt of a payment under the Plan for purposes
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC").

         6.8      Regulatory Matters.

         (a) The  Participant  shall  have no right to receive  compensation  or
other benefits in accordance  with the Plan for any period after  termination of
service for Just Cause.  Termination for "Just Cause" shall include  termination
because  of  the  Participant's  personal  dishonesty,   incompetence,   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 the Plan.

         (b) Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary, any payments made
to a Participant  pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to and conditioned  upon
compliance with 12 USC ss.1828(k) and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

         6.9  Incompetency.  If the  Savings  Bank shall find that any person to
whom any payment is payable  under the Plan is deemed  unable to care for his or
her personal  affairs because of illness or accident,  any payment due (unless a
prior  claim  therefor  shall  have  been  made  by a duly  appointed  guardian,
committee or other legal representative) may be paid to the

                                        5

<PAGE>



spouse,  a child, a parent,  or a brother or sister,  or to any person deemed by
the Savings Bank to have incurred expense for such person otherwise  entitled to
payment,  in such manner and  proportions as the Board may determine in its sole
discretion.  Any such  payments  shall  constitute  a complete  discharge of the
liabilities of the Savings Bank under the Plan.

         6.10 Construction. The Committee shall have full power and authority to
interpret, construe and administer this Plan and the Committee's interpretations
and  construction  thereof,  and  actions  thereunder,   shall  be  binding  and
conclusive on all persons for all purposes.  Directors of the Savings Bank shall
not be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in  connection  with
the interpretation and administration of this Plan unless attributable to his or
her own willful, gross misconduct or lack of good faith.

         6.11  Plan  Administration.   The  Board  shall  administer  the  Plan;
provided, however, that the Board may appoint an administrative committee (i.e.,
the Committee) to provide administrative  services or perform duties required by
this Plan.  The  Committee  shall have only the  authority  granted to it by the
Board.

         6.12 Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Kansas ("State"), except to the extent that
federal law shall be deemed to apply.

         6.13  Successors  and  Assigns.  The  Plan  shall be  binding  upon any
successor or successors of the Savings Bank,  and unless  clearly  inapplicable,
reference herein to the Savings Bank shall be deemed to include any successor or
successors of the Savings Bank.

         6.14 Sole Agreement.  The Plan expresses,  embodies, and supersedes all
previous agreements,  understandings,  and commitments, whether written or oral,
between the Savings Bank and any Participants hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof.
