      premium payments that might become necessary to keep the Policy in force.

V.    TAXABLE BENEFIT

      cost of insurance as required by the Internal Revenue Service. The Bank
      (or its administrator) will report to the Insured the amount of imputed

      by the Bank and any applicable surrender charges. Such cash value shall be
      determined as of the date of surrender or death as the case may be.

            involuntarily) prior to three (3) years from the Effective Date of
            this Agreement; or

      B.    The Insured shall be discharged from employment with the Bank for
            cause. The term "for cause" shall mean any of the following that
            result in an adverse effect on the Bank: (i) gross negligence or
            gross neglect; (ii) the commission of a felony or gross misdemeanor
            involving moral turpitude, fraud, or dishonesty; (iii) the willful
            violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than a traffic
            violation or similar offense); (iv) an intentional failure to
            perform stated duties; or (v) a breach of fiduciary duty involving
            personal profit; or

      C.    Surrender, lapse, or other termination of the Policy by the Bank.

      Upon such termination, the Insured (or assignee) shall have a fifteen (15)
      day option to receive from the Bank an absolute assignment of the Policy
      in consideration of a cash payment to the Bank, whereupon this Agreement
      shall terminate. Such cash payment referred to hereinabove shall be the
      greater of:

      A.    The Bank's share of the cash value of the Policy on the date of such
            assignment, as defined in this Agreement; or

      B.    The amount of the premiums that have been paid by the Bank prior to
            the date of such assignment.

      If, within said fifteen (15) day period, the Insured fails to exercise
      said option, fails to procure the entire aforestated cash payment, or
      dies, then the option shall terminate and the Insured (or assignee) agrees
      that all of the Insured's rights, interest and claims in the Policy shall
      terminate as of the date of the termination of this Agreement.

      The Insured expressly agrees that this Agreement shall constitute
      sufficient written notice to the Insured of the Insured's option to
      receive an absolute assignment of the Policy as set forth herein.

      Except as provided above, this Agreement shall terminate upon distribution
      of the death benefit proceeds in accordance with paragraph VI above.

X.    INSURED'S OR ASSIGNEE'S ASSIGNMENT RIGHTS

      The Insured may not, without the written consent of the Bank, assign to
      any individual, trust or other organization, any right, title or interest
      in the subject Policy, or any rights, options, privileges or duties
      created under this Agreement.

XI.   AGREEMENT BINDING UPON THE PARTIES

      This Agreement shall bind the Insured and the Bank, their heirs,
      successors, personal representative and assigns.

XII.  ERISA PROVISIONS

      The following provisions are part of this Agreement and are intended to
      meet the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
      1974 ("ERISA"):

      A.    Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator.

            The "Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator" of this Endorsement
            Method Split Dollar Plan Agreement shall be The First National Bank
            of Litchfield until its

<PAGE>

            resignation or removal by the Board of Directors. As Named Fiduciary
            and Plan Administrator, the Bank shall be responsible for the
            management, control, and administration of this Split Dollar Plan as
            established herein. The Named Fiduciary may delegate to others
            certain aspects of the management and operation responsibilities of
            the Plan, including the employment of advisors and the delegation of
            any ministerial duties to qualified individuals.

      B.    Funding Policy.

            The funding policy for this Split Dollar Plan shall be to maintain
            the subject Policy in force by paying, when due, all premiums
            required.

      C.    Basis of Payment of Benefits.

            Direct payment by the Insurer is the basis of payment of benefits
            under this Agreement, with those benefits in turn being based on the
            payment of premiums as provided in this Agreement.

      D.    Claim Procedures.

            Claim forms or claim information as to the subject Policy can be
            obtained by contacting Benmark, Inc. (800-544-6079). When the named
            Fiduciary has a claim which may be covered under the provisions
            described in the insurance Policy, they should contact the office
            named above, and they will either complete a claim form and forward
            it to an authorized representative of the Insurer or advise the
            named Fiduciary what further requirements are necessary. The Insurer
            will evaluate and make a decision as to payment. If the claim is
            payable, a benefit check will be issued in accordance with the terms
            of this Agreement.

            In the event that a claim is not eligible under the Policy, the
            Insurer will notify the Named Fiduciary of the denial pursuant to
            the requirements under the terms of the Policy. If the Named
            Fiduciary is dissatisfied with the denial of the claim and wishes to
            contest such claim denial, they should contact the office named
            above and they will assist in making an inquiry to the Insurer. All
            objections to the Insurer's actions should be in writing and
            submitted to the office named above for transmittal to the Insurer.

XIII. GENDER

      Whenever in this Agreement words are used in the masculine or neuter
      gender, they shall be read and construed as in the masculine, feminine or
      neuter gender, whenever they should so apply.

XIV.  INSURANCE COMPANY NOT A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT


                                       9
<PAGE>

      The Insurer shall not be deemed a party to this Agreement, but will
      respect the rights of the parties as herein developed upon receiving an
      executed copy of this Agreement. Payment or other performance in
      accordance with the Policy provisions shall fully discharge the Insurer
      from any and all liability.

XV.   CHANGE OF CONTROL

      Change of Control shall be deemed to be the cumulative transfer of more
      than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Bank from the date of
      this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, transfers on account
      of death or gifts, transfers between family members, or transfers to a
      qualified retirement plan maintained by the Bank shall not be considered
      in determining whether there has been a Change of Control. Upon a Change
      of Control, if the Insured's employment is subsequently terminated, except
      for cause, then the Insured shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested in
      the benefits promised in this Agreement and, therefore, upon the death of
      the Insured, the Insured's beneficiary(ies) (designated in accordance with
      Paragraph III) shall receive the death benefit provided herein as if the
      Insured had died while employed by the Bank (see Subparagraphs VI [A]
      &[B].

XVI.  AMENDMENT OR REVOCATION

      It is agreed by and between the parties hereto that, during the lifetime
      of the Insured, this Agreement may be amended or revoked at any time or
      times, in whole or in part, by the mutual written consent of the Insured
      and the Bank.

XVII. EFFECTIVE DATE

      The effective Date of this Agreement shall be May 1, 2003.

XVIII. SEVERABILITY AND INTERPRETATION

      If a provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable,
      the remaining provisions shall nonetheless be enforceable according to
      their terms. Further, in the event that any provision is held to be
      overbroad as written, such provision shall be deemed amended to narrow its
      application to the extent necessary to make the provision enforceable
      according to law and enforced as amended.

XIX.  APPLICABLE LAW

      The validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the
      laws of the State of Connecticut.
