        employment and wishes to provide his beneficiary with benefits from and after
        his death;

       

      WHEREAS,
        the Bank has adopted a program of deferred compensation for certain of its
        senior executives which program is evidenced by individual agreements, such
        as
        this one, between the Bank and each participating executive which agreements
        provide the terms and conditions upon which the Bank shall pay such additional
        compensation to each executive after his retirement or other termination

                Change
                  in the ownership of the Bank or Company.  A change in the
                  ownership of the Bank or Company shall occur on the date that any

                  control of the corporation (within the meaning of paragraph (b)
                  below).  An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one
                  person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction
                  in
                  which the corporation acquires its stock in exchange for property
                  will be
                  treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this
                  section.  This paragraph (a) applies only when there is a
                  transfer of stock of a corporation (or issuance of stock of a corporation)
                  and stock in such corporation remains outstanding after the
                  transaction.

              
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	
                (b)

              	
                Change
                  in the effective control of the Bank or Company.  A change in
                  the effective control of the Bank or Company shall occur on the
                  date that
                  either (i) any one person, or more than one person acting as a
                  group (as
                  defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)), acquires
                  (or
                  has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the
                  most
                  recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock
                  of the
                  corporation possessing 30 percent or more of the total voting power
                  of the
                  stock of such corporation; or (ii) a majority of members of the
                  corporation’s board of directors is replaced during any 12-month period by
                  directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority
                  of
                  the members of the corporation’s board of directors prior to the date of
                  the appointment or election, provided that for purposes of this
                  paragraph
                  (b)(ii), the term corporation refers solely to a corporation for
                  which no
                  other corporation is a majority shareholder.  In the absence of
                  an event described in paragraph (i) or (ii), a change in the effective
                  control of a corporation will not have occurred.  If any one
                  person, or more than one person acting as a group, is considered
                  to
                  effectively control a corporation (within the meaning of this paragraph
                  (b)), the acquisition of additional control of the corporation
                  by the same
                  person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the effective
                  control of the corporation (or to cause a change in the ownership
                  of the
                  corporation within the meaning of paragraph (a)).  Persons will
                  not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase
                  or
                  own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result
                  of the
                  same public offering.

              


      

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      
        	 	 	
                (c)

              	
                Change
                  in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Bank or Company’s
                  assets.  A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of
                  the Bank or Company’s assets shall occur on the date that any one person,
                  or more than one person acting as a group (as defined in Treasury
                  Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii)(C)), acquires (or has acquired
                  during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent
                  acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the corporation
                  that
                  have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40%
                  of the
                  total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation
                  immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions.  For this
                  purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets
                  of the
                  corporation, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined
                  without regard to any liabilities associated with such
                  assets.  There is no Change in Control under this paragraph (c)
                  when there is a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the
                  shareholders of the transferring corporation immediately after
                  the
                  transfer.

                  of employment with the Bank within the meaning of Code Section

                  to military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence
                  if the
                  period of such leave does not exceed six months or, if longer,
                  so long as
                  the Executive’s right to reemployment is provided by law or
                  contract.  If the leave exceeds six months and the Executive’s
                  right to reemployment is not provided by law or by contact, then
                  the
                  Executive shall have a Separation from Service on the first date
                  immediately following such six-month period.

              
	 	 	 
	 	 	
                Whether
                  a termination of employment has occurred is determined based on
                  whether
                  the facts and circumstances indicate that the Bank and Executive
                  reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed
                  after a
                  certain date or that the level of bona fide services the Executive
                  would
                  perform after such date (whether as an employee or as an independent
                  contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than 49% of the
                  average
                  level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding
                  36
                  months (or such lesser period of time in which the Executive has
                  provided
                  services for the Bank).  The determination of whether the
                  Executive has a Separation from Service shall be made by applying
                  the
                  presumptions set forth in the Treasury Regulations under Code Section
                  409A.

                  Employee” means with respect to a publicly traded company, an employee of

                  during the
                  last ten (10) years prior to retirement, reduced by (b) the sum
                  of (i) the
                  annuitized value (calculated using the Interest Factor and appropriate
                  Actuarial Assumptions) of Executive’s retirement benefits under the Bank’s
                  Money Purchase Pension Plan payable in the form of a single life
                  annuity

                  Assumptions) of Executive’s annual Social Security retirement benefits
                  commencing at the Normal Retirement Date.  Notwithstanding the
                  foregoing, Executive may elect an optional form of distribution
                  of his
                  Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, provided that such optional

                  of
                  Supplemental Retirement Income
                  Benefit.

                  Beneficiary if Executive dies while in active employment of the
                  Bank.  The Survivor’s Benefit shall be equal in amount to the
                  Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit payable to Executive if
                  Executive
                  had lived until his Normal Retirement Date, terminated employment
                  on such

                  Benefit at
                  that time.  For purposes of these calculations, Executive’s
                  Annual Compensation shall be deemed to increase at the rate of
                  five
                  percent (5%) per year to age 65 at the customary time of such normal

                  Money Purchase Pension Plan, (ii) the 401(k) Plan, and (iii) the
                  employer’s portion of Social Security shall be deemed to continue until
                  Executive’s Normal Retirement Date at the same rate as was contributed on
                  behalf of Executive in Executive’s last full year of employment prior to
                  his death.

        RETIREMENT AND POST RETIREMENT DEATH BENEFITS

       

      2.1           Death

        termination of employment with the Bank or after termination of employment
        with
        the Bank but prior to the payment of any portion of the Supplemental Retirement
        Income Benefit, Executive’s Beneficiary shall be entitled to the Survivor’s
        Benefit. Such benefit shall be paid monthly in two hundred forty (240) equal
        installments.  The first installment shall begin within thirty (30)
        days after the Bank is notified of the date of death of Executive.

       

      2.2           Death
        Subsequent to Retirement.  In the event of the Executive’s death
        while receiving monthly benefits under this Agreement, but prior to receiving
        two hundred forty (240) monthly payments, the unpaid balance of such monthly
        payments shall continue to be paid monthly to Executive’s
        Beneficiary.

      AND
        OTHER BENEFITS

       

      3.1           Normal
        Retirement Benefit.  Upon Executive’s termination of employment
        due to retirement coincident with or following his Normal Retirement Date,
        the
        Bank shall commence payments of the Supplemental Retirement Income
        Benefit.  Such payments shall commence the first day of the month next
        following Executive’s termination of employment and, except as otherwise
        provided in Section 3.5 below, shall be payable monthly thereafter for two
        hundred forty (240) months or Executive’s life, whichever is
        longer.  If the Executive is a Specified Employee and the termination
        is deemed to be a Separation from Service, then such payments shall commence
        the
        first day of the seventh month next following Executive’s Separation from
        Service, with the first six payments accumulated and paid in the seventh
        month,
        and the remaining payments payable monthly thereafter for two hundred
        thirty-four (234) months or Executive’s life, whichever is longer.

      


      3.2           Disability.  If
        Executive becomes Permanently and Totally Disabled while covered by the
        provisions of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to a Supplemental
        Disability Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days after a determination
        by
        the Board of Directors that the Executive is Permanently and Totally
        Disabled.  The Supplemental Disability Benefit shall be equal to the
        Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit and, except as otherwise provided
        in
        Section 3.5 below, shall be payable monthly thereafter for two hundred forty
        (240) months or Executive’s life, whichever is longer.

      


      In
        the
        event Executive dies at any time after termination of employment due to his
        becoming Permanently and Totally Disabled but prior to commencement or
        completion of two hundred forty (240) monthly payments, the Bank shall pay
        to
        Executive’s Beneficiary a continuation of the monthly installments for the
        remainder of the two hundred forty (240) month period.

      


      3.3           Change
        in Control Benefit.  If a Change in Control occurs, Executive
        shall be entitled to a Change in Control benefit (the “Change in Control
        Benefit”) commencing within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such
        Change in Control and, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.5 below,
        shall
        be payable monthly thereafter for two hundred forty (240) months or Executive’s
        life, whichever is longer.  The Change in Control Benefit shall be
        equal to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit.

      


      In
        the
        event Executive dies at any time after the Change in Control, but prior to
        commencement or completion of two hundred forty (240) monthly payments, the
        Bank
        shall pay to Executive’s Beneficiary a continuation of the monthly installments
        for the remainder of the two hundred forty (240) month period.

      


      3.4           Change
        of Election to Delay Payment.  In the event Executive desires to
        delay the payment commencement date of his Supplemental Retirement Income
        Benefit, Executive may file an election with the Bank to delay the payment
        commencement date, provided that (i) the election must be filed at
        least 12 months prior to its becoming effective, (ii) if Executive becomes
        entitled to a payment during such 12 month period, the payment election form
        shall be ignored and distribution of the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit
        shall commence under the Agreement in accordance with its original payment
        schedule, and (iii) except with respect to distributions due to death or
        becoming Totally and Permanently Disabled, the election must delay the first
        payment with respect to such election for a period of not less than 5 years
        from
        the date the payment would otherwise have been made.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      3.5           Optional
        Distribution Elections.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive
        may elect to receive his Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit in an optional
        form of benefit that is the actuarial equivalent of the normal form of benefit
        (e.g., monthly payments for the longer of two hundred forty (240) months
        or
        Executive’s lifetime), by completing the Transition Year Election Form attached
        hereto as Exhibit B. Such election, if made, must be completed prior to December
        31, 2008, provided, however, that  (i) Executive may not make an
        election during 2007 to cause a payment to be made during 2007, or to otherwise
        delay a payment that is scheduled to be made during 2007, and (ii) Executive
        may
        not make an election during 2008 to cause a payment to be made during 2008,
        or
        to otherwise delay a payment that is scheduled to be made during
        2008.

        RIGHT TO ASSETS

       

      The
        rights of Executive, any Beneficiary of Executive, or any other person claiming
        through Executive under this Agreement, shall be solely those of an unsecured

        that he, his Beneficiary, or any other person claiming through him shall
        have no
        rights or interests whatsoever in any asset of the Bank, including any insurance
        policies or contracts which the Bank may possess or obtain to informally
        fund
        this Agreement. Any asset used or acquired by the Bank in connection with
        the
        liabilities it has assumed under this Agreement, except as expressly provided,
        shall not be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit of Executive
        or
        his Beneficiaries, nor shall it be considered security for the performance
        of
        the obligations of the Bank. It shall be, and remain, a general, unpledged,
        and
        unrestricted asset of the Bank.

        UPON FUNDING

       

      The
        Bank
        shall have no obligation to set aside, earmark or entrust any fund or money
        with
        which to pay its obligations under this Agreement. Executive, his Beneficiaries
        or any successor in interest to him shall be and remain simply a general
        creditor of the Bank in the same manner as any other creditor having a general
        claim for matured and unpaid compensation. The Bank reserves the absolute
        right,
        at its sole discretion, to either fund the obligations undertaken by this
        Agreement or to refrain from funding the same and to determine the extent,
        nature, and method of such informal funding. Should the Bank elect to fund
        this
        Agreement, in whole or in part, through the purchase of life insurance,
        disability policies or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute right, in
        its
        sole discretion, to terminate such funding at any time, in whole or in part.
        At
        no time shall Executive be deemed to have any lien nor right, title or interest
        in or to any specific funding investment or to any assets of the Bank. If
        the
        Bank elects to invest in a life insurance, disability or annuity policy upon
        the
        life of Executive, then Executive shall assist the Bank by freely submitting
        to
        a physical examination and supplying such additional information necessary
        to
        obtain such insurance or annuities.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      SECTION
        VI

       

      ALIENABILITY
        AND ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITION

       

      Neither
        Executive nor any Beneficiary under this Agreement shall have any power or
        right
        to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate, mortgage, commute, modify or
        otherwise encumber in advance any of the benefits payable hereunder, nor
        shall
        any of said benefits be subject to seizure for the payment of any debts,
        judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by Executive or his Beneficiary,
        nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency
        or otherwise. In the event Executive or any Beneficiary attempts assignment,
        communication, hypothecation, transfer or disposal of the benefits hereunder,
        the Bank’s liabilities shall forthwith cease and terminate.

       

      SECTION
        VII

       

      TERMINATION
        OF EMPLOYMENT FOR CAUSE

       

      Should
        Executive be terminated for Cause, all benefits under this Agreement shall
        be
        forfeited and this Agreement shall become null and void.

       

      SECTION
        VIII

       

      ACT
        PROVISIONS

       

      8.1.           Named
        Fiduciary and Administrator. The Bank shall be the named fiduciary and
        administrator of this Agreement.  As administrator, the Bank shall be
        responsible for the management, control and administration of the Agreement
        as
        established herein. The administrator may delegate to others certain aspects
        of
        the management and operational responsibilities of the Agreement, including
        the
        employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified
        individuals.

       

      8.2.           Claims
        Procedure and Arbitration.  In the event that benefits under this
        Agreement  are not paid to Executive (or to his Beneficiary in the
        case of Executive’s death) and such claimants feel they are entitled to receive
        such benefits, then a written claim must be made to the administrator named
        above within thirty (30) days from the date payments are refused. The
        administrator and its Board of Directors shall review the written claim and,
        if
        the claim is denied, in whole or in part, they shall provide in writing within
        thirty (30) days of receipt of such claim their specific reasons for such
        denial, reference to the provisions of this Agreement upon which the denial
        is
        based and any additional material or information necessary to perfect the
        claim.
        Such written notice shall further indicate the additional steps to be taken
        by
        claimants if a further review of the claim denial is desired.

       

      8.3.           If
        claimants desire a second review, they shall notify the administrator in
        writing
        within thirty (30) days of the first claim denial. Claimants may review the
        Agreement or any documents relating thereto and submit any issues, in writing,
        and comments they may feel appropriate. In its sole discretion, the
        administrator shall then review the second claim and provide a written decision
        within thirty (30) days of receipt of such claim. This decision shall likewise
        state the specific reasons for the decision and shall include reference to
        specific provisions of the Agreement upon which the decision is
        based.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      8.4.           If
        claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon completed
        performance of the Agreement or the meaning and effect of the terms and
        conditions thereof, then claimants may submit the dispute to mediation,
        administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (or a mediator
        selected by the parties) in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Mediation
        Rules.  If mediation is not successful in resolving the dispute, it
        shall be settled by arbitration administered by the AAA under its Commercial
        Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s)
        may
        be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  If it is finally
        determined that Executive  (or his Beneficiary) is entitled to the
        benefits set forth under this Agreement, then all amounts that Executive
        (or his
        Beneficiary) would have received up to the time of such final determination
        shall be paid to Executive (or his Beneficiary) with interest (calculated
        using
        the Interest Factor) within thirty (30) days after such final
        determination.

       

      8.5.           Where
        a dispute arises as to the Bank’s discharge of Executive for Cause, such dispute
        shall likewise be submitted to arbitration as above described and the parties
        hereto agree to be bound by the decision thereunder.

       

      8.6.           All
        reasonable legal fees paid or incurred by Executive pursuant to any dispute
        or
        questions of interpretation relating to this Agreement shall be paid or
        reimbursed by the Bank, provided that the dispute or interpretation has been
        settled by executive and the Bank or resolved in Executive’s
        favor.  To the extent necessary to avoid additional taxes and
        penalties under Code Section 409A, such reimbursement shall be made not later
        than two and one-half months following the resolution of such
        matters.

       

      SECTION
        IX

       

      MISCELLANEOUS

       

      9.1           No
        Effect on Employment Rights.  Nothing contained herein shall
        confer upon Executive the right to be retained in the service of the Bank
        nor
        limit the right of the Bank to discharge or otherwise deal with Executive
        without regard to the existence of this Agreement.

       

      9.2           Disclosure.  Executive
        shall receive a copy of his Agreement and the administrator will make available,
        upon request, a copy of any rules and regulations that govern this
        Agreement.

       

      9.3           Governing
        Law.  The Agreement is established under, and will be construed
        according to, the laws of the State of New York, to the extent that such
        laws
        are not preempted by the Act and valid regulations published
        thereunder.

       

      9.4           Severability.  In
        the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or portion thereof,
        are
        held to be inoperative or invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction,
        then:
        (1) insofar as is reasonable, effect will be given to the intent manifested
        in
        the provisions held invalid or inoperative, and (2) the validity and
        enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected
        thereby.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      9.5           Incapacity
        of Recipient.  In the event Executive is declared incompetent and
        a conservator or other person legally charged with the care of his person
        or of
        his Estate is appointed, any benefits under the Agreement to which such
        Executive is entitled shall be paid to such conservator or other person legally
        charged with the care of his person or his Estate.  Except as provided
        above in this paragraph, when the Bank’s Board of Directors in its sole
        discretion, determines that an Executive is unable to manage his financial
        affairs, the Board may direct the Bank to make distributions to any person
        for
        the benefit of such Executive.

       

      9.6           Unclaimed
        Benefit.  Executive shall keep the Bank informed of his current
        address and the current address of his Beneficiaries.  The Bank shall
        not be obligated to search for the whereabouts of any person.  If the
        location of Executive is not made known to the Bank within three years after
        the
        date on which any payment of Executive’s Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit
        may be made, payment may be made as though Executive had died at the end
        of the
        three-year period. If, within one additional year after such three-year period
        has elapsed, or, within three years after the actual death of Executive,
        the
        Bank is unable to locate any Beneficiary of Executive, then the Bank may
        fully
        discharge its obligation by payment to the Estate.

       

      9.7           Limitations
        on Liability.  Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of
        the Agreement, neither the Bank, nor any individual acting as an employee
        or
        agent of the Bank or as a member of the Board of Directors shall be liable
        to
        Executive, former Executive, or any other person for any claim, loss, liability
        or expense incurred in connection with the Agreement.

       

      9.8           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.

       

      9.9           Affect
        on Other Corporate Benefit Agreements.  Nothing contained in this
        Agreement shall affect the right of Executive to participate in, or be covered
        by, any qualified or non-qualified pension, profit sharing, group, bonus
        or
        other supplemental compensation or fringe benefit agreement constituting
        a part
        of the Bank’s existing or future compensation structure.

       

      9.10           Headings.  Headings
        and sub-headings in this Agreement are inserted for reference and convenience
        only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

       

      9.11           Establishment
        of Rabbi Trust.  The Bank may, but is not obligated to, establish
        a rabbi trust into which the Bank may contribute assets which shall be held
        therein, subject to the claims of the Bank’s creditors in the event of the
        Bank’s “Insolvency” as defined in the agreement which establishes such rabbi
        trust, until the contributed assets are paid to Executives and their
        Beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in this
        Agreement.  In the event a rabbi trust is established, it is the
        intention of the Bank to make contributions to the rabbi trust to provide
        the
        Bank with a source of funds to assist it in meeting the liabilities of this
        Agreement.  The rabbi trust and any assets held therein shall conform
        to the terms of the rabbi trust agreement which has been established in
        conjunction with this Agreement.  To the extent the language in this
        Agreement is modified by the language in the rabbi trust agreement, the rabbi
        trust agreement shall supersede this Agreement.  Any contributions to
        the rabbi trust shall be made during each Plan Year in accordance with the
        rabbi
        trust agreement.  The amount of such contribution(s) shall be equal to
        the full present value of all benefit accruals under this Agreement, if any,
        less:  (i) previous contributions made on behalf of Executive to the
        rabbi trust, and (ii) earnings to date on all such previous
        contributions.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      9.12           Tax
        Withholding.  Any distribution under this Agreement shall be
        reduced by the amount of any taxes required to be withheld from such
        distribution.  This Agreement shall permit the acceleration of the
        time or schedule of a payment to pay employment-related taxes as permitted
        under
        Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(j) or to pay any taxes that may become
        due
        at any time that the arrangement fails to meet the requirements of Code Section
        409A and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance promulgated
        thereunder.  In the latter case, such payments shall not exceed the
        amount required to be included in income as the result of the failure to
        comply
        with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

       

      9.13           Acceleration
        of Payments.  Except as specifically permitted herein or in other
        sections of this Agreement, no acceleration of the time or schedule of any
        payment may be made hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
        payments may be accelerated hereunder by the Bank, in accordance with the
        provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) and any subsequent
        guidance issued by the United States Treasury
        Department.  Accordingly, payments may be accelerated, in accordance
        with requirements and conditions of the Treasury Regulations (or subsequent
        guidance) in the following circumstances: (i) as a result of certain domestic
        relations orders; (ii) in compliance with ethics agreements with the Federal
        government; (iii) in compliance with ethics laws or conflicts of interest
        laws;
        (iv) in limited cash-outs (but not in excess of the limit under Code Section
        402(g)(1)(B)); (v) in the case of certain distributions to avoid a
        non-allocation year under Code Section 409(p); (vi) to apply certain offsets
        in
        satisfaction of a debt of the Executive to the Bank; (vii) in satisfaction
        of
        certain bona fide disputes between the Executive and the Bank; or (viii)
        for any
        other purpose set forth in the Treasury Regulations and subsequent
        guidance.

      


      SECTION

      NON-COMPETITION
        AFTER NORMAL RETIREMENT

       

      10.1           Non-Compete
        Clause.  Except as stated in the second paragraph of this
        subsection, Executive expressly agrees that, as consideration for the agreements
        of the Bank contained herein and as a condition to the performance by the
        Bank
        of its obligations hereunder, for eighteen (18) months following termination
        of
        Executive’s employment, other than a termination of employment following a
        Change in Control, Executive will not, without the prior written consent
        of the
        Bank, engage in or become interested, directly or indirectly, as a sole
        proprietor, as a partner in a partnership, or as a substantial shareholder
        in a
        corporation, nor become associated with, in the capacity of an employee,
        director, officer, principal, agent, trustee or in any other capacity
        whatsoever, any enterprise conducted in any city, town or county in which
        the
        Bank maintains an office at the time of Executive’s termination of employment,
        which enterprise is, or may deemed to be, competitive with any business carried
        on by the Bank as of the date of the termination of Executive’s employment or
        his retirement.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      10.2           Benefits
        Following a Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in
        Control, Executive shall be entitled to the benefit hereunder whether or
        not he
        enters into an arrangement that is deemed to be competitive with the
        Bank.

       

      10.3           Breach.  In
        the event of any breach by Executive of the agreements and covenants contained
        herein, the Board of Directors of the Bank shall direct that any unpaid balance
        of any payments to Executive under this Agreement be suspended, and shall
        thereupon notify Executive of such suspensions, in writing. Thereupon, if
        the
        Board of Directors of the Bank shall determine that said breach by Executive
        has
        continued for a period of six (6) months following notification of such
        suspension, all rights of Executive and his Beneficiaries under this Agreement,
        including rights to further payments hereunder, shall thereupon
        terminate.  If, however, Executive cures such breach in all material
        respects within ninety (90) days of the termination of Executive’s (and his
        Beneficiaries’) rights under the Agreement, or if it is later determined by the
        Bank’s Board of Directors that no breach had, in fact, occurred, then all of
        Executive’s (and his Beneficiaries’) rights under the Agreement will be
        immediately restored, and benefit payments, if they had begun prior to the
        breach (or the action erroneously determined to be a breach), shall recommence
        at the next ordinarily scheduled payment date.  The first benefit
        payment after recommencement shall be in an amount sufficient to place the
        Executive in the position, with respect to the payment of his benefits under
        the
        Agreement, in which he would have been but for the suspension of his rights
        due
        to the Board’s determination that Executive had breached the
        Agreement.

      


      SECTION

      AMENDMENT,
        REVOCATION OR TERMINATION

       

      This
        Agreement shall not be amended, modified, or revoked at any time, in whole
        or
        part, without the mutual written consent of Executive and the Bank, and such
        mutual consent shall be required even if Executive is no longer employed
        by the
        Bank.  In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or
        portion hereof, are held to be inoperative or invalid by any court of competent
        jurisdiction, or in the event that any legislation, regulation, or rule adopted
        by any governmental body having jurisdiction over the Bank, including, but
        not
        limited to the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Internal Revenue Service,
        would be retroactively applied to invalidate this Agreement or any provision
        hereof or cause the benefits hereunder to be taxable, then: (1) insofar as
        is
        reasonable, effect will be given to the intent manifested in the provisions
        held
        invalid or inoperative, and (2) the validity and enforceability of the remaining
        provisions will not be affected thereby.  In the event that the intent
        of any provision shall need to be construed in a manner to avoid taxability,
        such construction shall be made by the Bank, as administrator of the Agreement,
        in a manner that would manifest to the maximum extent possible the original
        meaning of such provisions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
        herein, in the event of a Change in Control, the Bank may terminate the
        Agreement by irrevocable action of the Bank’s Board of Directors taken within
        thirty (30) days preceding, but not following, the Change in Control, provided
        that (i) all agreements, methods, programs and other arrangements sponsored
        by
        the Bank immediately after the Change in Control with respect to which deferrals
        of compensation are treated as having been deferred under a single plan pursuant
        to Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(c)(2), are terminated and liquidated
        with respect to each Executive that experienced such Change in Control, and

      SECTION

      COMPLIANCE
        WITH CODE SECTION 409A

       

      This
        Agreement has been amended following the enactment of Code Section 409A and
        is
        intended to be construed consistent with the requirements of that Section,
        the
        Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder.  If any
        provision of the Agreement shall be determined to be inconsistent therewith
        for
        any reason, then the Agreement shall be construed, to the maximum extent
        possible, to give effect to such provision in a manner consistent with Code
        Section 409A, and if such construction is not possible, as if such provision
        had
        never been included.  In the event that any of the provisions of the
        Agreement or portion thereof are held to be inoperative or invalid by any
        court
        of competent jurisdiction, then (i) insofar as is reasonable, effect will
        be
        given to the intent manifested in the provisions held to be inoperative,
        and
        (ii) the invalidity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not
        be
        affected thereby.

      ANGELO
        J. DI LORENZO

      


      TRANSITION
        YEAR ELECTION FORM

      


      Instructions:  Use
        this Transition Year Election Form to elect an optional form of distribution
        of
        the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit (“SRIB”) under the Executive
        Supplemental Retirement Income Agreement (the “Agreement”) for Angelo J. Di
        Lorenzo (“Executive”).  The Agreement provides that the SRIB will be
        distributed in monthly installments for the longer of two hundred forty (240)
        months or the Executive’s lifetime, commencing upon Executive’s Separation from
        Service, Disability, or in the event of a Change in Control. Any
        optional form of distribution of the SRIB elected hereunder shall be the
        actuarial equivalent of the installment form of distribution described
        above.

      


      Due
        to IRS rules, Executive must complete this form no later than December 31,
        2008,
        provided, however, that Executive may not make an election during 2007 to
        cause
        a payment to be made during 2007, or to otherwise delay a payment that is
        scheduled to be made during 2007, and Executive may not make an election
        during
        2008 to cause a payment to be made during 2008, or to otherwise delay a payment
        that is scheduled to be made during 2008.

      


      If
        you do not wish to change your form of payment from the installments form
        of
        distribution described above, please mark the box below with an “X” to indicate
        that you do not wish to make any changes to the form of distributions under
        the
        Agreement.

                  Agreement.
