informally  fund its obligations  under the Plan in whole or in part,  provided,

the payment of any benefit  under the Plan,  other than as permitted by Internal
Revenue  Service and  Department  of Labor rules and  regulations  for  unfunded
welfare benefit plans.

<PAGE>

5.1  Termination  for  Cause.  If a  Participant's  service  as an  Employee  is
     ------------------------
     Terminated for Cause, no benefits shall be paid to him or his Beneficiaries

     Company's obligations to such Participant under the Plan shall be suspended
     as of the date of  service of such  notice,  unless  stayed by  appropriate
     proceedings. If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Company may in
     its discretion reinstate in whole or in part the Life Insurance Benefit.

5.3  Permanent Suspension or Prohibition. If a Participant is removed and/or
     -----------------------------------
     permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Company's
     affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(1) of the FDIA, 12

     under the Plan shall terminate as of the date of default.

5.5  Termination by Regulators.  All  obligations of the Company to Participants
     --------------------------
     and Beneficiaries under the Plan shall be terminated,  except to the extent

     operation  of the  Company:  (i) by the  Director  of the  Office of Thrift
     Supervision  (the "OTS Director") or his designee,  at the time the Federal
     Deposit  Insurance   Corporation   enters  into  an  agreement  to  provide
     assistance to or on behalf of the Company under the authority  contained in
     Section 13(c) of the FDIA; or (ii) by the OTS Director or his designee,  at

     determined by the OTS Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition.

5.6  Other Regulatory Restrictions on Payment.  Notwithstanding  anything herein
     -----------------------------------------
     to the contrary,  (1) any payments made by the Company under the Plan shall
     be subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C. ss.1828(k) and
     any regulations  promulgated thereunder and (2) payments contemplated to be
     made by the Company under the Plan shall not be immediately  payable to the
     extent such  payments are barred or prohibited by an action or order issued
     by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

<PAGE>

     complying  with  the  terms  of the  Beneficiary  Designation  Form and the
     Committee's  rules and  procedures,  as in effect from time to time. If the
     Participant names someone other than his spouse as a Beneficiary, a spousal
     consent,  in the form  designated by the Committee,  must be signed by that
     Participant's spouse and returned to the Committee.  Upon the acceptance by
     the  Committee  of a new  Beneficiary  Designation  Form,  all  Beneficiary
     designations  previously  filed shall be canceled.  The Committee  shall be
     entitled  to rely on the last  Beneficiary  Designation  Form  filed by the
     Participant and accepted by the Committee prior to his death.

     -----------------------------
     Beneficiary  as  provided  in  Sections  6.1,  6.2 and 6.3 above or, if all
     designated  Beneficiaries predecease a Participant or die prior to complete
     distribution of the Participant's benefits, then a Participant's designated
     Beneficiary  shall be deemed to be his surviving  spouse.  If a Participant
     has no surviving spouse,  the benefits  remaining under the Plan to be paid
     to a Beneficiary shall be payable to the Participant's estate.

6.5  Doubt as to  Beneficiary.  If the  Committee has any doubt as to the proper
     ------------------------
     Beneficiary to receive  payments  pursuant to the Plan, the Committee shall

     Affiliates to withhold  such payments  until this matter is resolved to the
     Committee's satisfaction.

6.6  Discharge  of  Obligations.  The  payment of  benefits  under the Plan to a
     ---------------------------
     Beneficiary  shall  fully and  completely  discharge  the  Company  and its
     Affiliates  and the Committee from all further  obligations  under the Plan
     with respect to the Participant.

     the occurrence of a Change in Control.

     ----------
     or in part by action of the Board; provided, however, that the amendment of

     or modification.

9.1  Termination.  Although the Company  anticipates  that it will continue as a
     ------------
     sponsor of the Plan for an indefinite period of time, there is no guarantee
     that it will  continue as a sponsor of the Plan or will not  terminate  its
     sponsorship of the Plan at any time in the future. Accordingly, the Company
     reserves the right to  terminate  its  sponsorship  of the Plan at any time
     with  respect  to any or all of its  Participants,  by action of the Board.
     Upon termination of sponsorship of the Plan by the Company,  the Retirement
     Benefit  of each  affected  Participant  shall be  determined  as if he had
     experienced  a  Retirement  on the date  Plan  sponsorship  is  terminated.
     Benefits  shall be paid to affected  Participants  as  follows:  Prior to a
     Change  in  Control,  the  Company  shall  have  the  right,  in  its  sole
     discretion,  to  pay or  require  its  Affiliates  to  pay  the  Equivalent
     Actuarial  Value  of  the  Retirement  Benefits  in a lump  sum;  otherwise
     payments  shall be made as  provided  for in  Article  3. After a Change in
     Control,  the  Company  and its  Affiliates  shall be  required  to pay the
     Equivalent  Actuarial  Value of the  Retirement  Benefit in a lump sum. The
     termination of sponsorship of the Plan or the termination of the Plan shall
     not adversely affect any Participant who has become entitled to the payment
     of any  benefits  under the Plan as of the date of  termination;  provided,
     however,  that the  Company  shall  have the right to  accelerate  payments
     without a premium or prepayment penalty by paying the Equivalent  Actuarial
     Value of the remaining benefits in a lump sum.

9.2  Amendment.  The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole
     ----------
     or in part by action of the Board; provided,  however, that no amendment or
     modification  shall be  effective  to decrease  or restrict  the value of a
     Participant's  Vested  Benefit  determined  at the  time the  amendment  or
     modification  is made,  calculated as if the  Participant had experienced a
     Retirement as of the effective date of the amendment or  modification.  The
     amendment or  modification of the Plan shall not affect any Participant who
     has become  entitled to the  payment of  benefits  under the Plan as of the
     date of the amendment or modification;  provided, however, that the Company
     shall have the right to accelerate payments without a premium or prepayment
     penalty  by paying the  Equivalent  Actuarial  Value of the unpaid  Monthly
     Benefits in a lump sum.

      then be  comprised  of new members) or stockholders  of the  Company,  its
      Affiliates, or of any successor corporation, might then cause or attemptto
      cause the Company, its  Affiliates,  or such successor to refuse to comply
      with its obligations under the Plan and might cause or attempt to causethe
      Company or its  Affiliates  to  institute,  or may  institute,  litigation
      seeking to deny Participants the benefits intended under the Plan.In these
      circumstances, the purpose of the Plan could be  frustrated.  Accordingly,
      if, following a Change in Control,it should appear to any Participant that
      the Company,  its Affiliates,  or any successor  corporation has failed to
      comply  with any  of its  obligations  under  the  Plan  or any  agreement
      thereunder, or, if the Company, its Affiliates,  or any other person takes
      any action to declare the Plan void or  unenforceable  or  institutes  any
      litigation or otherlegal action  designed to deny,  diminish or to recover
      from any Participant the benefits intended tobe provided, then the Company
      and its Affiliates  irrevocably  authorizes  such  Participant  to  retain
      counsel of his choice at the expense of the Company or its  Affiliates  to
      represent such Participant in connection with the initiation or defense of
      any litigation or other legal  action,  whether by or against the Company,
      its Affiliates,or any director, officer, stockholder or other Affiliate of
      the Company or any successor thereto in any jurisdiction.
