entitled to receive an Early Retirement Benefit payable from the accrued liability
retirement account. Should the Executive retire at age sixty-two (62), the Bank shall pay
the Executive an annual benefit equal to Twenty-Eight Thousand Twenty-Three and

days following the date of such early retirement. If, upon the death of the Executive, less
than the full number of equal monthly installments, relative to the early retirement age
hereinabove, has been paid, the remaining balance shall be paid in equal monthly
installments, until the full number of installments, relative to the early retirement age
hereinabove has been paid, to the individual or individuals the Executive may have
designated in writing and filed with the Bank. In the absence of any effective beneficiary
designation, any such amount becoming due and payable upon the death of the Executive shall
