retirement - 7% interest rate offset - annual 15 year payment of $10,261).

     RETIREMENT.

     A.  Voluntary Resignation. In the event the Participant voluntarily
         ---------------------
resigns, before the Participant reaches Age 65, the Bank's obligations to make
any payments under this Agreement shall immediately terminate.

         ----------------------
for cause including but not limited to wrongful application of funds, commission
of a crime or disregard of Board or Management policy or directives at any time
either before the Participant reaches Age 65 or after the Participant reaches
Age 65 if the Participant has postponed retirement in accordance with Article 4
herein, the Bank's obligations to make any payments under this Agreement shall
immediately terminate.  Additionally, if after receiving payments under this
plan, it comes to the attention of the Bank that while employed, the Participant
engaged in an act that would have caused Termination for Cause, the participant
will no longer be entitled to benefits under this Plan.

     The Compensations Committee's determination as to what constitutes "for
cause" shall be binding and final on all parties.

     C.  Termination without Cause.  In the event the Participant's employment

     A.  If, prior to the Participant's 65th birthday, Participant should become
disabled by "Total Disability" as defined herein, while employed by the Bank,
the Participant's rights and Bank's payment obligations as described in Article
Five hereof, shall remain unaffected due to such disability.  If such Total
Disability shall continue through the Participant's "Normal Retirement Date",
then the annual benefits shall be payable as if the Participant had fulfilled
all of the conditions in Paragraph 5 of this Agreement.

     B.  "Total Disability", for the purposes of this Agreement, shall be if the
Participant is deemed totally disabled under the Bank's Long Term Disability
Policy in effect at the time of the Participant's disability.

                                                                               7

8.   DEATH BENEFITS
     --------------

     A. Death Prior to Age 60 - In the event of a Participant's death while
        ---------------------
employed by the Bank prior to Age 60 and prior to his or her Retirement Date,
the Bank agrees to pay to such beneficiary as Participant may have designated
pursuant to Article Nine or in the absence of any such designation, to the
Participant's surviving spouse, or if no surviving spouse, then to Participant's
estate, 60% of the Participant's Base Annual Compensation (see definitions) for
a period of fifteen (15) years (the benefit years) commencing upon the first day
of the month immediately following the Participant's death, with death benefits
in equal monthly installments subject to the provisions of Paragraph B below.

     B.  Death After Age 60 but Prior to Retirement - In the event of a
         ------------------------------------------
Participant's death after Age 60, but before receiving retirement benefits, the
amount paid to the designated beneficiary shall be the amount as if the
Participant had retired on the normal retirement date.

     C. Eligibility for Death Benefits Prior to Retirement - In order to be
        --------------------------------------------------
eligible for the pre-retirement death benefit under the Plan1 prior to
retirement, the Participant must qualify for life insurance at standard rates
from the insurer designated by the Bank. If the Participant does not qualify for
standard insurance, he or she can qualify for the Pre-Retirement Death Benefit
if the Participant agrees to reduce their compensation from the Bank for that
portion of the life insurance premium greater than the standard premium.

                                                                               8
<PAGE>

             An example of this paragraph is:

             If Standard Premium could be issued      =    $10,000

             Premium Offered by Insurer               =     12,500

             Executive's Annual Salary Reduction      =      2,500

     If the Participant was previously insured at standard rates and receives an
increase in Base Annual Compensation which necessitates additional insurance for
which Participant is uninsurable or cannot qualify for standard rates and the
Participant does not elect salary reduction as stated above, the Participant
will still be entitled to death benefits based upon the Participant's Base
Annual Compensation in effect at the time immediately prior to the increase in
Base Annual Compensation that triggered the need for increased insurance.

     D.  Death Benefit While Receiving Retirement Benefits - In the event of the
         -------------------------------------------------
Participant's death while receiving retirement payments under Articles Five and
Six, Death Benefits shall be payable to such beneficiary as Participant may have
designated pursuant to Article Nine or in the absence of any such designation,
to the Participant's surviving spouse, or if no surviving spouse, then to
Participant's estate, in the same manner as if payable to the Participant.  Any
amounts not fully paid by reason of any such payee's death while receiving
payments, if any, shall also be payable in the same manner and under the same
conditions as if payable to the Participant under Paragraph 8A above.

                                  ARTICLE NINE

9.   DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY
     --------------------------

     To designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive death benefits or
unpaid retirement benefits under this Agreement, the Bank shall provide each
Participant with beneficiary forms to

                                                                               9
<PAGE>

designate the name, address, relationship, and percentage benefit payable to the
beneficiary. If the Bank does not have an executed beneficiary designation of
Participant, the benefits shall be payable to the Participant's surviving spouse
or if the Participant has no surviving spouse, the estate of the Participant. If
the beneficiary of any benefits is the Surviving spouse of the Participant, said
surviving spouse shall have the right to designate a beneficiary to receive any
unpaid benefits due to the surviving spouse at their death. If the beneficiary
is not the surviving spouse, the Participant shall have the right to name
successor beneficiaries.

     B.  Confidential Information.  During the term of employment or while
         ------------------------

permission of the Bank.

                                                                              10

     Participant further agrees to consider all plans, strategies and techniques
with which the Participant has become familiar to be confidential and the
exclusive property of the Bank which will not be disclosed to anyone for any
reason whatsoever.  All records, files, reports, lists, customer lists, plans
documents, equipment, and the like relating to the business of the Bank, which
the Participant has used or come into contact with, shall remain the sole
property of the Bank.

     Participant agrees that on request of the Bank, and in any event upon
termination, Participant shall turn over to the Bank all documents, papers, or
other material in Participant's possession and under Participant's control which
may contain or be derived from confidential information, together with all
documents, notes, or other work product which is connected with or derived from
Participant's services to the Bank whether or not such material is at the date
hereof in Participant's possession.  Participant agrees that he or she shall
have no proprietary interest in any work product developed or used by him or her
arising out of employment with the Bank.

     C.  Injunctive Relief.  Participant acknowledges that the Bank will suffer
         ------------------
irreparable injury, not readily susceptible of valuation in monetary damages, if
the Participant breaches any of the obligations under paragraphs 10 A or 10 B
above.  Accordingly, the Participant agrees that the bank will be entitled to
injunctive relief against any breach or prospective breach by the Participant of
the Participant's obligation's under paragraphs 10 A or 10 B in any federal or
state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the State of New York.  The
Participant hereby submits to the jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes
of any actions or proceeding instituted by the Bank to obtain such injunctive
relief, and agrees that process may be served on the Participant by

                                                                              11

11.  INSURANCE
     ---------

     It is the intention of the Bank to purchase a life insurance contract or
contracts on the Participant's life payable to the Bank as a means of
reimbursing itself, in whole or in part, for the cost of the benefits provided
in this Agreement.  The Participant agrees to cooperate with the Bank in
obtaining such insurance by giving necessary consents or be submitted to any
necessary physical examinations.  Nothing in this Agreement, however shall
create an obligation on the Bank's part to obtain life insurance or to set aside
any assets or funds to meet the obligations under this Agreement and the Bank
hereby reserves the absolute right in its sole discretion to terminate any
insurance contract it may obtain on the Participant's life, or to terminate in
whole or in part, any other funding program it may elect to undertake in
connection with this Agreement.

     --------------

     If the Bank is merged, consolidated into or with any other Corporation or
substantially all the assets are transferred to another Corporation, the
provisions of this Agreement are binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
corporation resulting from such merger, consolidation, or transfer.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event of a
merger, consolidation or sale of the Bank's assets where the Bank remains the
controlling party, such an

                                                                              12

event shall have no effect on this Agreement and this Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event of a
merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the Bank's assets where
the Bank is not the controlling party and the Participant would at the time of
said merger, consolidation or sale have ten (10) or more years of service and be
under Age 60, the Participant for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to
be Age 60.  Even though the Participant may be entitled to receive payments
prior to Age 65 if terminated under this paragraph, the provisions in regard to
postponed retirement under Article Four above shall only be effective after the
Participant's chronological age of 65.

     An example of this paragraph is:

     Executive Age 55 - 12 Year of Service - Bank is sold - Executive is
terminated without cause 2 years after sale - average 5-Year compensation at
that time is $100,000.

     Executive would be entitled to $35,000 less any Qualified Plan Offset 3
years hence, payable for 15 years: i.e.,

     $100,000     x     50%     x     70%     =     $35,000

sell, pledge, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the right to receive any
payments under this Agreement. Such payments shall not be subject to legal
process or levy of any kind.

shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the parties,
nor shall any provision hereof restrict the absolute right of the Bank to
discharge the Participant at will or restrict the absolute right of the
Participant to terminate his/her employment at will.  However, it is intended
that this Agreement shall remain in effect until all benefits have been paid,
except in the event of earlier termination of the Agreement as provided under
any other termination provision of this Agreement.
