agree as follows:

     1. POSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

     Effective January 1, 2008,  Executive agrees to serve as President Emeritus
and  Senior  Executive  Advisor  of the Bank and the  Company  and shall  report
directly to the Board of Directors.  In such capacity,  Executive  shall support
and promote the mission of the Bank and the Company, dialogue with the President
and Chief  Executive  Officer in  connection  therewith,  and perform such other
duties  and  activities  as may be  directed  from  time to time by the Board of
Directors, which shall be consistent with his position and title. Until December
31, 2007,  Executive shall continue as President and Chief Executive  Officer of
the Bank and the Holding Company.  The Executive shall be nominated by the Board
of Directors of the Company for election by the  shareholders  for an additional
three (3) year term at the annual meeting of  shareholders  of the Company to be
held following the year ending December 31, 2007, and subject to election by the
shareholders of the Company, shall be appointed to the Board of Directors of the
<PAGE>
Bank  for a three  year  term  ending  at the  annual  meeting  of  shareholders
following the year ending December 31, 2010.

     2. TERM AND DUTIES.

          (a) The period of Executive's  employment under and in accordance with
the terms of this  Agreement shall  commence as of the Effective  Date and shall
continue through March 2, 2010 (the "Term").

          (b) During the period of Executive's employment hereunder,  except for
periods  of  absence  occasioned  by illness,  reasonable  vacation periods, and
reasonable  leaves  of  absence,  Executive   shall  devote the  business  time,
attention, skill, and efforts necessary  to  the  faithful  performance  of  his
duties hereunder, including activities and services related to the organization,
operation and management of  the Bank  and  the  Company  and  participation  in
community and civic organizations; provided, however, that, with the approval of
the  Board,  Executive  may  serve,  or  continue  to  serve, on the  boards  of
directors  of,  and  hold  any  other  offices  or  positions  in,  companies or
organizations, which in the Bank's  judgment, will not present any  conflict  of
interest  with  the  Bank, or  materially affect  the performance of Executive's
duties  pursuant to this Agreement (including such organizations as to which  he
was associated as of the date of this Agreement).

          (c)  Executive  shall be entitled  to the number of weeks  vacation to
which he was entitled  immediately  prior to the Effective Date. Executive shall
be considered  a full-time employee for  purposes of the  employee benefit plans
maintained by the Bank and the Company.

          (d)  Notwithstanding  anything  herein  to the  contrary,  Executive's
employment with  the Bank and the Company may  be  terminated by the Bank and/or
the Bank or by the Executive during the  Term of this Agreement, with or without
cause, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

     3. COMPENSATION; BENEFITS AND REIMBURSEMENT.

          (a) The Bank shall pay Executive as  compensation a salary of not less
than  $320,000   per year  ("Base  Salary").  Base Salary  shall  be  payable in
approximately equal installments in accordance with the Bank's customary payroll
practices and may be increased but may not be  decreased at any time without the
prior written consent of Executive. Any increase in Base Salary shall become the
new "Base Salary" for purposes of this Agreement. In addition to the Base Salary
provided in this Section 3(a), the Bank shall also  provide Executive  with  all
such other benefits as are provided uniformly  to  full-time  employees  of  the
Bank. Executive shall be entitled to participate in any  employee benefit plans,
arrangements  and  perquisites  generally provided to executive employees. On an
annual basis and in connection  with  each  calendar year end,  the  Board  will
consider the payment of an annual cash  bonus  to  Executive.  The  criteria for
determining any bonus to be paid Executive shall be consistent with the criteria
established for the executive management incentive plan. However, the payment of
any cash bonus to Executive is at the discretion of the Board.

          (b) In addition to the Base Salary and other benefits  provided for by
Subsection (a) of this Section 3, the  Bank shall pay or reimburse Executive for
<PAGE>
all reasonable  travel,  including  the  provision  of  an  automobile and other
reasonable expenses, including membership in clubs or organizations as  mutually
agreed to between the Board and Executive and reasonable  expenses for attending
annual and  periodic  meetings of  trade  associations,  incurred  by  Executive
performing his obligations under this Agreement and may provide such  additional
compensation in such form  and such amounts  as the Board  may from time to time
determine. Executive  shall also be  entitled to receive fees in addition to his
compensation hereunder for serving as a director of  the Company,  the  Bank, or
any subsidiary, on the basis that such fees are paid to other directors.

          (c) In addition to the  compensation  and benefits  enumerated  above,
during the Term of this Agreement Executive shall be entitled to the benefits of
a  special  disability  income  policy  (Guardian  Policy  No.  G718042) and the
supplemental retirement income plan with a preretirement death benefit (Guardian
Policy No. 3505768) purchased by and at the expense of the Company or  the  Bank
(collectively  the  "Policies") (provided, further,  that the  Bank shall not be
required to expend more than $10,000 annually with respect to   the   Policies).
Executive shall be the owner of the Policies and shall be entitled to  designate
the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the Policies. All costs and expenses of  the
Bank and the Company in connection with the Policies in excess of those that are
excludable from  Executive's  income  under applicable  law shall be reported as
compensation  income to Executive and Executive  shall  be  responsible for  the
payment of any and all taxes related to such amounts.

          (d)  Executive  shall be  entitled,  without loss of pay, to be absent
voluntarily  for  reasonable  periods of time from the performance of the duties
and responsibilities under this Agreement.  All  such voluntary  absences  shall
count as paid vacation  time, unless the Board otherwise approves.

          (e)  Executive  shall  continue  to  participate  in the  supplemental
executive  retirement plan previously  adopted by the  Board  and  as  to  which
Executive  was  participating  as  of  the  Effective  Date  (the "SERP"), which
continued participation shall be on the same terms as were applicable on the
Effective Date.

     4. PAYMENTS TO EXECUTIVE UPON AN EVENT OF TERMINATION; DEATH OR DISABILITY.

          (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination (as herein defined)
during Executive's Term of employment under this  Agreement,  the  provisions of
this Section 4 shall apply. As used in this Agreement, an "Event of Termination"
shall mean and include  any  one  or more of the following: (i) the  termination
by the Bank or the Company of Executive's full-time employment hereunder for any
reason other than a termination following a Change in Control, which is governed
by  Subsection  5  hereof,  or  Termination  for  Cause, as defined in Section 7
hereof; provided  further, that an Event of  Termination shall not have occurred
until  and unless the  termination of employment constitutes a "Separation  from
Service" within the meaning of Code Section 409A and the Final Regulations; (ii)
Executive's  resignation  from the Bank's  employ upon any: (A) failure to elect
Executive  as  a  member  of  the Board  of Directors of the Bank or to nominate
Executive for election  as  a Director  of Company at the 2008 annual meeting of
shareholders,  unless  Executive consents to any such event, (B) material change
in Executive's  function,  duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause
<PAGE>
Executive's  position  to  become one  of lesser  responsibility, importance, or
scope from the position and attributes thereof described  in  Section 1,  above,
unless consented to by Executive, (C) relocation of Executive's principal place
of employment to an office other than one located in Southhampton, East Hampton,
Shelter  Island,  Southhold  or  Riverhead,  New  York  unless  consented  to by
Executive, (D) reduction in the benefits and perquisites to Executive from those
being  provided  as  of  the  effective  date  of  this  Agreement  (other  than
discretionary  bonus  and  stock  based  compensation)  unless  consented  to by
Executive, (E) liquidation or  dissolution  of  the  Bank  or  Company,  or  (F)
material  breach  of this  Agreement by the Bank or Company. Upon the occurrence
of  any  event  described  in  clauses  (A),  (B),  (C), (D), (E) or (F), above,
Executive shall have the right to elect to terminate his  employment under  this
Agreement by resignation  upon not less than six (6) days prior  written  notice
given within ninety (90) days after the  event  giving  rise  to  said  right to
elect, provided  that the Bank shall have thirty (30) days to cure the condition
giving rise to the Event of Termination, and provided further that  the Bank may
elect to waive such thirty (30) day period.

          (b) Upon the  occurrence  of an Event of  Termination,  on the Date of
Termination,  as  defined  in  Subsection  7(b), the  Bank shall be obligated to
continue pay Executive, or, in the event of his subsequent  death (subsequent to
the Event of Termination), his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or  his  estate, as
the case may be, his Base Salary for the remaining Term of  this Agreement. Such
payments shall be made on a bi-weekly basis in approximately equal  installments
during  the  remaining  Term  of  the   Agreement.   In   addition,  Executive's
participation in the SERP (and the Bank's obligations thereunder) shall continue
through the remaining Term of the Agreement (on the same basis  as  if Executive
had continued in the employ of the Bank through March 31, 2010).

          (c) To the extent that the Bank or the Company  continues to offer any
life,  or  non-taxable medical,  health,  disability or dental insurance plan or
arrangement in which Executive participates in on the last day of his employment
(each being a "Welfare  Plan"), after an Event of Termination, Executive and his
dependents  shall  continue  participating in such Welfare Plans, subject to the
same premium contributions on the part of Executive as were required immediately
prior to the Event of Termination for the remaining Term of this Agreement.

          (d) In the  event  of  Executive's  death  during  the  Term  of  this
Agreement  prior  to  an  Event of  Termination, the Executive's estate shall be
entitled  to  receive  his  accrued and  unpaid Base Salary (and any accrued but
unpaid  bonus)  through  the  date  of his death. This Agreement shall thereupon
terminate except that any vested rights of  Executive shall then be exercised by
his estate.

          (e) In the event that during the Term of this Agreement,  Executive is
unable to perform his duties hereunder because he is disabled within the meaning
of  Code  Section  409A and  the  Final Regulations (a  "Disability"), Executive
shall  be  entitled  to continue to receive his Base Salary then in effect under
Subsection 3(a) hereof, reduced by any benefits payable to  Executive  under any
such  policy of disability  insurance maintained by the Bank or the Company, and
his  benefits  then  in effect  as described in Subsection 3(b) hereof until the
earlier of (i) two (2) years following  the  occurrence  of  the  Disability (or
until he ceases to be disabled, if earlier), and (ii) the remaining Term of this
Agreement.  This  Agreement  shall  terminate  at the end of such period (unless
Executive shall have returned to employment hereunder before that date).
<PAGE>
          (f) No  payments  under  this  Section 4 shall be reduced in the event
Executive  obtains  other  employment  following   termination   of  employment.
Executive shall not be required to mitigate amounts payable pursuant to this
Section.

          (g) For purposes of this Agreement,  a "Separation from Service" shall
have  occurred  if the Bank and  Executive reasonably anticipate that no further
services  will  be  performed  by the  Executive after the date of the Event  of
Termination  (whether  as  an employee  or  as an independent contractor) or the
level of further services performed will not exceed 49% of the average  level of
bona  fide  services  in  the  12  months  immediately  preceding  the  Event of
Termination.  For  all  purposes  hereunder,  the definition of "Separation from
Service"  shall  be  interpreted  consistent  with  Treasury  Regulation Section
1.409A-1(h)(ii).

     5. CHANGE IN CONTROL.

          (a) For purposes of this Agreement,  a "Change in Control" of the Bank
or Company shall mean (1) a change in ownership of the Bank under paragraph  (i)
below,  or (2)  a change in effective  control of  the Bank under paragraph (ii)
below,  or (3) a change in the ownership  of a substantial portion of the assets
of the Bank under paragraph (iii) below:

          (i)   Change in the ownership of the Bank. A change in the ownership
                of the Bank 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)(v)(B)), acquires ownership of
                stock of the corporation that, together  with stock held by such
                person   or group,  constitutes more  than 50% of the total fair
                market value or  total  voting   power  of  the  stock  of  such
                corporation.

          (ii)  Change in the effective  control  of the Bank.  A change  in the
                effective  control  of  the  Bank  shall  occur on the date that
                either  (A) 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  Bank  possessing  30%  or
                more  of the total voting power of the stock of the Bank; or (B)
                a  majority  of  members  of  the  Bank'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  this
                sub-section (B) is inapplicable where a majority shareholder  of
                the Bank is another corporation.

          (iii) Change in the ownership of a  substantial  portion of the Bank's
                assets.  A change in the ownership of a  substantial  portion of
                the Bank'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 Bank that have a total gross fair market value equal to
                more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the
                assets  of  the Bank  immediately prior to such acquisition. For
                this  purpose, gross  fair  market  value means the value of the
                <PAGE>
                assets  of  the  corporation,  or  the value of the assets being
                disposed  of,  determined  without  regard  to  any  liabilities
                associated with such assets.

          (b) Upon a Change in Control (as  defined in (a)),  the Bank shall pay
Executive, or in the event of his subsequent death (subsequent to the Change  in
Control), his beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a
lump  sum  cash  payment equal to the annual Base Salary and director's fees, if
applicable,  Executive  would  have  earned  had he  continued  working  for the
remaining Term of this Agreement. In addition, the Executive  shall be  entitled
to the benefits provided under the SERP.

          (c) Upon the  occurrence of a Change in Control,  the Bank shall cause
to be continued (at such cost to Executive as was in effect immediately prior to
the  Change  in  Control),  life  insurance,  and  nontaxable  medical  coverage
substantially identical to the coverage maintained by the Bank for the Executive
prior  to  the  Change  in  Control.  If,  as a result of the Change in Control,
continuing  employees  will  become  covered  under  the  group health plan of a
successor  entity,  then Executive may be covered under the group health plan of
the successor entity. Such health care coverage shall be in addition to (and not
concurrent  with)  COBRA  health care continuation coverage. Such coverage shall
cease upon the expiration of the remaining Term of this Agreement.

          (d) No  payment  under  this  Section 5 below  shall be reduced in the
event  Executive  obtains  other employment following termination of employment.
Executive  shall not  be required to mitigate  amounts  payable pursuant to this
Section.  If  there is a  payment  under Section 5, then no payment shall be due
under Section 4 of this Agreement.

     6. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.

     The term  "Termination  for  Cause" as used in this  Agreement  shall  mean
termination  because of: (i) the  conviction  of the Executive of a felony or of
any  lesser  criminal  offense  involving  moral  turpitude;  (ii)  the  willful
commission  by the Executive of a criminal or other act that, in the judgment of
the Board of Directors  will likely  cause  substantial  economic  damage to the
Company,  the Bank or any  subsidiary  or  substantial  injury  to the  business
reputation of the Company,  the Bank or any subsidiary;  (iii) the commission by
the Executive of an act of fraud in the  performance  of his duties on behalf of
the Company, the Bank or any subsidiary;  (iv) the continuing willful failure of
the Executive to perform his duties to the Company,  the Bank or any  subsidiary
(other than any such failure  resulting from the  Executive's  incapacity due to
physical or mental illness) after written notice thereof;  (v) a material breach
by the Executive of the Bank's Code of Ethics;  or (vi) an order of a federal or
state  regulatory  agency or a court of  competent  jurisdiction  requiring  the
termination of the Executive's  employment with the Bank or the Company. For the
purposes of this Section 6, no act, or the failure to act, on  Executive's  part
shall be  "willful"  unless done,  or omitted to be done,  not in good faith and
without  reasonable belief that the action or omission was in the best interests
of the Bank,  the Company or their  affiliates.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,
Termination  for Cause shall not be deemed to exist unless there shall have been
delivered  to  the  Executive  a  copy  of a  resolution  duly  adopted  by  the
affirmative  vote of not less than a majority  of the entire  membership  of the
Board  at a  meeting  of the  Board  called  and  held  for the  purpose  (after
reasonable  notice to the Executive and an  opportunity  for the Executive to be
heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the
Executive was guilty of conduct  described  above and specifying the particulars
<PAGE>
thereof.  Prior to  holding  a  meeting  at which  the  Board is to make a final
determination  whether  Termination for Cause exists, if the Board determines in
good faith at a meeting of the Board,  by not less than a majority of its entire
membership,  that there is probable  cause for it to find that the Executive was
guilty of conduct  constituting  Termination for Cause as described  above,  the
Board may suspend the Executive from his/her  duties  hereunder for a reasonable
period of time not to exceed  fourteen  (14) days  pending a further  meeting at
which the Executive shall be given the opportunity to be heard before the Board.
Executive shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for
any period after the date of Termination for Cause.

     7. NOTICE.

          (a) Any purported termination of Executive's employment by the Bank or
by the Executive  shall be communicated by Notice of  Termination to  the  other
party hereto.  For  purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination"  shall
mean  a  written notice which shall indicate the Date of Termination and, in the
event  of  termination by  the Executive, the  specific termination provision in
this  Agreement  relied upon and  shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts
and  circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's
employment under the provision so indicated. "Date of  Termination"  shall  mean
the  date  specified  in  the  Notice  of Termination  (which,  in the case of a
termination  for  Just Cause, shall be immediate). In no event shall the Date of
Termination exceed 30 days from the date Notice of Termination is given.

          (b) If,  within  thirty (30) days after any Notice of  Termination  is
given, the party  receiving such Notice of Termination  notifies the other party
that a dispute exists concerning the termination, the Date of Termination  shall
be  on  the date  on  which  the dispute is finally determined, either by mutual
written agreement of the parties, by a binding arbitration award, or by  a final
judgment,  order  or  decree  of a court of competent jurisdiction (the time for
appeal  therefrom  having  expired  and  no  appeal  having been perfected) and,
provided further, that the Date of Termination shall be extended by a  notice of
dispute  only  if such  notice  is given in good faith and the party giving such
notice  pursues  the  resolution  of  such  dispute  with  reasonable diligence.
Notwithstanding  the  pendency  of  any  such dispute, in the event Executive is
terminated for reasons other than Termination for Cause, the Bank will  continue
to pay Executive his Base  Salary in effect  when the notice  giving rise to the
dispute was given  until  the earlier of: 1)  the   resolution of the dispute in
accordance with this Agreement  or 2) the  expiration of the  remaining Term  of
this Agreement as determined as of the Date of Termination. Amounts  paid  under
this Section are in addition to all other  amounts due under this  Agreement and
shall  not  be  offset  against  or  reduce  any  other  amounts  due under this
Agreement.

          (c)  All  notices  or  other  communications   required  or  permitted
hereunder  shall  be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
if  delivered  by  hand or delivered by a recognized delivery service or mailed,
postage  prepaid,  by express,  certified  or  registered mail,  return  receipt
requested,  and  addressed to the Bank, the Company or Executive, as applicable,
at the address set forth above for the Bank and the Company, and  to Executive's
address contained in the Bank's files.
<PAGE>
     8. POST-TERMINATION OBLIGATIONS.

     All  payments  and  benefits to  Executive  under this  Agreement  shall be
subject to Executive's  compliance  with this Section 8 and Section 9. Executive
shall,  upon reasonable  notice,  furnish such information and assistance to the
Bank as may reasonably be required by the Bank in connection with any litigation
in which it or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is, or may become, a party.

     9. NON-COMPETITION AND NON-DISCLOSURE.

     (a)  Executive  recognizes  and  acknowledges  that  the  knowledge  of the
business  activities and plans for business  activities of the Bank, the Company
and  affiliates  thereof,  as it may  exist  from time to time,  is a  valuable,
special and unique asset of the business of the Bank and the Company.  Executive
will not, during or after the Term of his employment,  disclose any knowledge of
the past,  present,  planned or considered  business activities of the Bank, the
Company or affiliates thereof to any person, firm, corporation,  or other entity
for any reason or purpose whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  Executive
may disclose any knowledge of banking,  financial  and/or  economic  principles,
concepts or ideas which are not solely and exclusively derived form the business
plans and activities of the Bank.  Further,  Executive may disclose  information
regarding  the  business  activities  of the  Bank to  supervising  governmental
authorities pursuant to a formal regulatory request.

     (b) Executive  acknowledges  and agrees that,  because  relationships  with
customers and  prospective  customers are expected to constitute a large portion
of the goodwill of the Bank's  business,  it is of great  importance to the Bank
that Executive not solicit the Bank's customers and prospective customers (other
than on behalf of the Bank) during the period of employment,  and that Executive
not solicit  such  customers  and  prospective  customers  during a two (2) year
period after termination of Executive's employment, with respect to business, or
contracts for any products or services of the type provided,  developed or under
development  by the Bank during  Executive's  employment by the Bank.  Executive
agrees that, while the Executive is employed by the Bank and for a period of two
(2) years  commencing on the date of termination of Executive's  employment with
the Bank,  Executive shall not,  directly or indirectly,  solicit (other than on
behalf of the Bank)  business or  contracts  for any products or services of the
type provided,  developed or under  development  by the Bank during  Executive's
employment  by the  Bank,  from or with  (i) any  person  or  entity  that was a
customer  of the Bank for such  products  or  services as of, or within one year
before, Executive's termination,  or (ii) any prospective customer that the Bank
was  actively  soliciting  as of,  or  within  one (1) year  before  Executive's
termination.

     (c)  Executive  agrees that while the Executive is employed by the Bank and
for a  period  of two  (2)  years  commencing  on the  date  of  termination  of
Executive's  employment  with the  Bank,  Executive  shall  not  solicit,  offer
employment  to, or take any other action  intended (or that a reasonable  person
acting in like  circumstances  would  expect) to have the effect of causing  any
officer  or  employee  of the  Bank,  the  Company  or any of  their  respective
subsidiaries  or  affiliates  to  terminate  his or her  employment  and  accept
employment or become  affiliated  with, or provide  services for compensation in
any capacity whatsoever to, any business or other organization.
<PAGE>
     (d) For a period of two (2) years  commencing on the date of termination of
Executive's  employment with the Bank,  Executive shall not, without the consent
of the Company or the Bank, become an officer, employee,  consultant,  director,
independent contractor,  agent, sole proprietor, joint venturer, greater than 5%
equity-owner or stockholder, partner or trustee of any savings bank, savings and
loan association,  savings and loan holding company,  credit union, bank or bank
holding company, insurance company or agency, any mortgage or loan broker or any
other entity that has  headquarters or offices within Suffolk County,  New York,
provided that this restriction shall not apply if the Executive's  employment is
terminated following a Change in Control.

     (e) In the  event of a breach or  threatened  breach  by  Executive  of the
provisions  of this  Section,  the Bank  will be  entitled  to seek  and  obtain
injunctive relief. Nothing herein will be construed as prohibiting the Bank from
pursuing any other remedies  available to the Bank for such breach or threatened
breach, including the recovery of damages from Executive.

     10. SOURCE OF PAYMENTS.

     All  payments  provided in this  Agreement  shall be timely paid in cash or
check from the general funds of the Bank. The Company, however,  unconditionally
guarantees  payment and  provision of all amounts and benefits due  hereunder to
Executive  and, if such  amounts and  benefits  due from the Bank are not timely
paid or  provided  by the  Bank,  such  amounts  and  benefits  shall be paid or
provided  by the  Company.  In the event any amount  becomes  vested and payable
under more than one provision of this Agreement, Executive shall not be entitled
to  receive a  duplicate  payment  of any such  amount  nor shall  Executive  be
entitled to receive duplicate payments from both the Bank and Company.

     11. EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFIT PLANS.

     This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto
and supersedes  any prior  employment  agreement or change in control  agreement
between the Bank,  and the Company and  Executive,  including in particular  but
without  limitation the Prior  Agreement.  Accordingly,  the Prior  Agreement is
hereby superseded and terminated.  This Agreement shall not affect or operate to
reduce any benefit or  compensation  inuring to  Executive  of a kind  elsewhere
provided.  Except for termination of the Prior  Agreement,  no provision of this
Agreement  shall be  interpreted  to mean that Executive is subject to receiving
fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this Agreement.

     12. NO ATTACHMENT.

     (a) Except as  required  by law,  no right to receive  payments  under this
Agreement shall be subject to  anticipation,  communication,  alienation,  sale,
assignment,  encumbrance,  charge,  pledge, or  hypothecation,  or to execution,
attachment,  levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any
attempt,  voluntary  or  involuntary,  to affect any such action  shall be null,
void, and of no effect.

     (b) This  Agreement  shall be binding  upon,  and inure to the  benefit of,
Executive, the Bank, the Company and their respective successors and assigns.

     13. MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.

     (a) This  Agreement may not be modified or amended  except by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.

     (b) No term or  condition  of this  Agreement  shall be deemed to have been
waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision
of this Agreement,  except by written  instrument of the party charged with such
waiver or estoppel.  No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing  waiver
unless specifically  stated therein,  and each such waiver shall operate only as
to the specific  term or condition  waived and shall not  constitute a waiver of
such term or condition for the future as to any act other than that specifically
waived.

     14. REQUIRED PROVISIONS.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement,  (i) the Bank or the
Company may  terminate  or suspend  this  Agreement  and the  employment  of the
Executive hereunder,  as if such termination were a Termination for Cause to the
extent  required  by the laws of the State of New York  related to  banking,  by
applicable  federal law relating to deposit  insurance or bank holding companies
or by regulations or orders issued by the Banking  Commissioner  of the State of
New York,  the  Comptroller  of the  Currency,  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation or the Board of Governors of the Federal  Reserve System and (ii) no
payment  shall be required to be made to Executive  under this  Agreement to the
extent such payment is prohibited by applicable  law  regulation or order issued
by a banking  agency or a court of  competent  jurisdiction;  provided,  that it
shall be the Bank's or the Company's burden to prove that any such action was so
required.  Without  limiting the foregoing,  all payment to Executive under this
Agreement are subject and conditioned  upon compliance with Section 18(k) of the
Federal Deposit  Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C.  Section 1828(k),  and the regulations
promulgated thereunder in 12 C.F.R. part 359.

     15. SEVERABILITY.

     If, for any reason,  any  provision of this  Agreement,  or any part of any
provision, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision
of this  Agreement or any part of such  provision not held so invalid,  and each
such other  provision and part thereof shall to the full extent  consistent with
law continue in full force and effect.

     16. HEADINGS FOR REFERENCE ONLY.

     The headings and sections  and  paragraphs  herein are included  solely for
convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or  interpretation of
any of the provisions of this Agreement.

     17. GOVERNING LAW.

     The validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
<PAGE>
     18. ARBITRATION.

     Any dispute or  controversy  arising or in connection  with this  Agreement
shall be settled  exclusively by arbitration,  conducted before a panel of three
arbitrators  sitting in a location selected by Executive within fifty (50) miles
from the  location of the Bank,  in  accordance  with the rules of the  American
Arbitration  Association  then  in  effect.  Judgment  may  be  entered  on  the
arbitrator's award in any court having  jurisdiction;  provided,  however,  that
Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance of his right to be paid
until the Date of Termination  during the pendency of any dispute or controversy
arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

     19. PAYMENT OF COSTS AND LEGAL FEES.

     In the event any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with
Executive's  termination  is  resolved  in favor of the  Executive,  whether  by
judgment,  arbitration  or  settlement,  Executive  shall be entitled to (1) the
reimbursement  of all legal fees and costs  incurred by  Executive  in resolving
such  dispute or  controversy,  which shall be advanced to Executive as incurred
during the pendency of the controversy  provided  Executive signs an undertaking
to  return  the  advancements  in the event his  position  is not  substantially
upheld,  and (2) any  back-pay,  including  salary,  bonuses  and any other cash
compensation,  fringe,  benefits and any compensation and benefits due Executive
under this Agreement plus interest on such amounts at the prime rate (defined as
the base rate on corporate loans at large U.S. money center  commercial banks as
published by The Wall Street Journal),  compounded monthly,  for the period from
the date the  payment  is due  until  the  payment  is made.  Such  payments  or
reimbursements  shall be made not later than thirty days following the date such
dispute is resolved in Executive's favor.

     20. INDEMNIFICATION.

     The Bank  shall  provide  Executive  (including  his heirs,  executors  and
administrators)   with  coverage  under  a  standard  directors'  and  officers'
liability insurance policy at its expense and shall indemnify Executive (and his
heirs,  executors and  administrators) to the fullest extent permitted and until
the  expiration  of any period of  limitations  under  federal  and New York law
against all expenses and  liabilities  reasonably  incurred by him in connection
with or  arising  out of any  action,  suit or  proceeding  in  which  he may be
involved by reason of his having been a director or officer of the Bank (whether
or not he continues  to be a director or officer at the time of  incurring  such
expenses or liabilities),  such expenses and liabilities to include,  but not be
limited to,  judgments,  court costs and advancement of attorneys' fees and cost
of reasonable settlements.

     21. SUCCESSOR TO THE BANK.

     The Bank  shall  require  any  successor  or  assignee,  whether  direct or
indirect,  by  purchase,   merger,   consolidation  or  otherwise,   to  all  or
substantially  all the business or assets of the Bank or the Company,  expressly
and  unconditionally  to assume to  perform  the Bank's  obligations  under this
Agreement,  in the same  manner  and to the same  extent  that the Bank would be
required to perform if no such succession or assignment had taken place. Failure
of the Bank to obtain such agreement prior to the  effectiveness of a succession
shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle  Executive to payments and
benefits  from the Bank or Company and such  successor in the same amount and on
the same terms as he would be entitled  pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 above.  For
purposes of  implementing  the foregoing,  the date on which any such succession
becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.
