      This Executive Supplemental Retirement Income Agreement (the "Agreement"),

guaranteeing the Bank's performance hereunder.

                              W I T N E S S E T H :

      WHEREAS, the Executive is employed by the Bank; and

      WHEREAS, the Bank recognizes the valuable services heretofore performed by
the Executive and wishes to encourage his continued employment; and

      WHEREAS, the Executive wishes to be assured that he will be entitled to a
certain amount of additional compensation for some definite period of time from
and after retirement from active service with the Bank or other termination of
employment and wishes to provide his beneficiary with benefits from and after
death; and

      WHEREAS, the Bank and the Executive wish to provide the terms and
conditions upon which the Bank shall pay such additional compensation to the
Executive after retirement or other termination of employment and/or death
benefits to his beneficiary after death; and

      WHEREAS, the Bank has adopted this Executive Supplemental Retirement
Income Agreement which controls all issues relating to benefits as described
herein;

      WHEREAS, the Executive is a participant in a Director Emeritus Plan,
effective February 1, 1999, sponsored by Bergen Commercial Bank (a subsidiary of
Greater Community Bancorp) and such participation shall comprise a portion of
the benefits payable hereunder; and

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
promises herein contained, the Bank and the Executive agree as follows:

                                       2

                                    SECTION I
                                   DEFINITIONS

      When used herein, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings
below unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:

1.1   "Accrued Benefit Account" shall be represented by the bookkeeping entries
      required to record the Executive's (i) Phantom Contributions plus (ii)
      accrued interest, equal to the Interest Factor, earned to-date on such
      amounts. However, neither the existence of such bookkeeping entries nor
      the Accrued Benefit Account itself shall be deemed to create either a
      trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Bank and the
      Executive or any Beneficiary.

1.2   "Act" means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
      amended from time to time.

1.3   "Administrator" means the Bank.

1.4   "Bank" means GREATER COMMUNITY BANK and any successor thereto.

1.5   "Beneficiary" means the person or persons (and their heirs) designated as
      Beneficiary in Exhibit B of this Agreement to whom the deceased
      Executive's benefits are payable. If no Beneficiary is so designated, then
      the Executive's Spouse, if living, will be deemed the Beneficiary. If the
      Executive's Spouse is not living, then the Children of the Executive will
      be deemed the Beneficiaries and will take on a per stirpes basis. If there
      are no Children, then the Estate of the Executive will be deemed the
      Beneficiary.

1.6   "Benefit Age" means the later of: (i) the Executive's sixty-fifth (65th)
      birthday or (ii) the actual date the Executive's full-time service with
      the Bank terminates. Notwithstanding the above, if the Executive is
      employed by the Bank on his Early Retirement Age and elects to retire on
      or after the attainment of his Early Retirement Age but before Normal
      Retirement Age, "Benefit Age" shall mean the later of: (i) the Executive's
      sixtieth (60th) birthday or (ii) the actual date of the Executive's
      retirement.

1.7   "Benefit Eligibility Date" means the date on which the Executive is
      entitled to receive any benefit(s) pursuant to Section(s) III or V of this
      Agreement. It shall be the first day of the month following the month in
      which the Executive attains his Benefit Age.

1.8   "Board of Directors" means the board of directors of the Bank.

1.9   "Cause" shall mean willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving
      personal benefit to the Executive, conviction of a felony, willful breach
      or willful neglect by the Executive of his duties as an Executive of the
      Holding Company or the Bank, or persistent negligence or misconduct in the
      performance of such duties. For purposes of this definition, no act or
      failure to act on the part of the Executive shall be considered "willful"
      unless done or omitted not in good faith and without reasonable belief
      that the action or omission was in the best interest of the Holding
      Company or the Bank. If the termination for Cause occurs after a Change in
      Control, the Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for
      Cause hereunder unless and until: (i) there shall have been delivered to
      the Executive a copy of a certification by a majority of the non-officer
      members of the Board of Directors of the Bank finding that, in the good
      faith opinion of such majority, the Executive was guilty of conduct which
      was deemed to be Cause for termination and specifying the particulars
      thereof in detail, and (ii) after reasonable notice to the Executive there
      shall have been an opportunity for the Executive, together with counsel to
      the Executive, to be heard before such non-officer members of the Board of
      Directors.

            which either or both of the following is to occur: (i) the directors
            of Holding Company and/or Bank, as applicable, immediately prior to
            such merger, consolidation or combination will constitute less than
            a majority of the board of directors of the surviving, new or
            combined entity;

            surviving, new or combined entity will be beneficially owned by the
            stockholders of Holding Company immediately prior to such merger,
            consolidation or combination; provided, however, that if any
            definitive agreement to merge, consolidate or combine is terminated
            without consummation of the transaction, then no Change in Control
            shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to this paragraph (b).

      (c)   Holding Company and/or the Bank enters into a definitive agreement
            which contemplates the transfer of all or substantially all of
            Holding Company's and/or the Bank's assets, other than to a
            wholly-owned subsidiary of Holding Company; provided, however, that
            if any definitive agreement to transfer assets is terminated without
            consummation of the transfer, then no Change in Control shall be
            deemed to have occurred pursuant to this paragraph (c).

      (d)   A majority of the members of the Board of Directors of either
            Holding Company or the Bank shall be persons who: (i) were not
            members of such Board on the date hereof ("current members"); and
            (ii) were not nominated by a vote of the Board which included the

      taking into account federal and state income taxes), payable in monthly

      pursuant to the Agreement for the purpose of determining the Contributions
      to be made to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Phantom Contributions
      to be recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account). The annual Contributions
      and Phantom Contributions have been actuarially determined, using the
      assumptions set forth in Exhibit A, in order to fund for the projected

                                   SECTION II
                                 BENEFIT FUNDING

2.1   (a) Retirement Income Trust Fund and Accrued Benefit Account. The
      Executive shall establish the Anthony Bruno Grantor Trust into which the
      Bank shall be required to make annual Contributions on the Executive's
      behalf, pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section II of the Agreement. A
      trustee shall be selected by the Executive. The trustee shall maintain an
      account, separate and distinct from the Executive's personal
      contributions, which account shall constitute the Retirement Income Trust
      Fund. The trustee shall be charged with the responsibility of investing
      all contributed funds. Distributions from the Retirement Income Trust Fund
      of the Anthony Bruno Grantor Trust may be made by the trustee to the
      Executive, for purposes of payment of any income or employment taxes due
      and owing on Contributions by the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust
      Fund, if any, and on any taxable earnings associated with such
      Contributions which the Executive shall be required to pay from year to
      year, under applicable law, prior to actual receipt of any benefit
      payments from the Retirement Income Trust Fund. If the Executive exercises
      his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, the Bank's obligation to
      make Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall cease and the
      Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions in the Accrued Benefit
      Account shall immediately commence pursuant to Exhibit A and this Section
      II of the Agreement. To the extent this Agreement is inconsistent with the
      Anthony Bruno Grantor Trust Agreement, the Anthony Bruno Grantor Trust
      Agreement shall supersede this Agreement.

                                       8
<PAGE>

      The annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) required to be made by
      the Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded by the Bank in
      the Accrued Benefit Account) have been actuarially determined and are set
      forth in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
      reference. Contributions shall be made by the Bank to the Retirement
      Income Trust Fund (i) within seventy-five (75) days of establishment of
      such trust, and (ii) within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of
      each subsequent Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides
      otherwise. Phantom Contributions, if any, shall be recorded in the Accrued
      Benefit Account within the first thirty (30) days of the beginning of each
      applicable Plan Year, unless this Section expressly provides otherwise.
      Phantom Contributions shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the
      Interest Factor, during the Payout Period, until the balance of the
      Accrued Benefit Account has been fully distributed. Interest on any
      Phantom Contribution shall not commence until such Payout Period
      commences.

      The Administrator shall review the schedule of annual Contributions (or
      Phantom Contributions) provided for in Exhibit A (i) within thirty (30)
      days prior to the close of each Plan Year and (ii) if the Executive is
      employed by the Bank until attaining Normal Retirement Age, on or
      immediately before attainment of such Normal Retirement Age. Such review
      shall consist of an evaluation of the accuracy of all assumptions used to
      establish the schedule of Contributions (or Phantom Contributions).
      Provided that (i) the Executive has not exercised his withdrawal rights
      pursuant to Subsection 2.2 and (ii) the investments contained in the
      Retirement Income Trust Fund have been deemed reasonable by the Bank, the
      Administrator shall prospectively amend or supplement the schedule of
      Contributions provided for in Exhibit A should the Administrator determine
      during any such review that an increase in or supplement to the schedule
      of Contributions is necessary in order to adequately fund the Retirement
      Income Trust Fund so as to provide an annual benefit (or to provide the
      lump sum equivalent of such benefit, as applicable) equal to the
      Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax basis, commencing
      at Benefit Age and payable for the duration of the Payout Period.

      (b) Withdrawal Rights Not Exercised.

      (1) Contributions Made Annually

      If the Executive does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to
      Subsection 2.2, the annual Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust
      Fund shall continue each year, unless this Subsection 2.1(b)

                                       9
<PAGE>

      specifically states otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year
      that Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan
      Year of the Executive's termination of employment.

      (2) Termination Following a Change in Control

      If the Executive does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to
      Subsection 2.2 and a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, followed within
      thirty-six (36) months by either (i) the Executive's involuntary
      termination of employment, or (ii) Executive's voluntary termination of
      employment after: (A) a material change in the Executive's function,
      duties, or responsibilities, which change would cause the Executive's
      position to become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from
      the position the Executive held at the time of the Change in Control, (B)
      a relocation of the Executive's principal place of employment by more than
      thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or (C)
      a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Executive from
      those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the
      Contribution set forth on Schedule A shall continue to be required of the
      Bank. The Bank shall be required to make an immediate lump sum
      Contribution to the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund in an amount
      equal to: (i) the full Contribution required for the Plan Year in which
      such involuntary termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii) the
      present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the current
      crediting rate of any Pacific Life Universal Life product less 100 basis
      points) of all remaining Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust
      Fund; provided, however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be
      contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to
      provide the Executive with after-tax benefits (assuming a constant tax
      rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of Executive's
      termination) beginning at his Benefit Age, equal in amount to that benefit
      which would have been payable to the Executive if no secular trust had
      been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB
      Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106.

      (3) Termination For Cause

      If the Executive does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to
      Subsection 2.2, and is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, no
      further Contribution(s) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be
      required of the Bank, and if not yet made, no Contribution shall be
      required for the Plan Year in which such termination for Cause occurs.

      (4) Involuntary Termination of Employment.

                                       10
<PAGE>

      If the Executive does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to
      Subsection 2.2, and the Executive's employment with the Bank is
      involuntarily terminated for any reason, including a termination due to
      disability of the Executive but excluding termination for Cause, or
      termination following a Change in Control within thirty-six (36) months of
      such Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such involuntary
      termination of employment, the Bank shall be required to make an immediate
      lump sum Contribution to the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund in
      an amount equal to: (i) the full Contribution required for the Plan Year
      in which such involuntary termination occurs, if not yet made, plus (ii)
      the present value (computed using a discount rate equal to the current
      crediting rate of any Pacific Life Universal Life product less 100 basis
      points) of all remaining Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust
      Fund; provided however, that, if necessary, an additional amount shall be
      contributed to the Retirement Income Trust Fund which is sufficient to
      provide the Executive with after tax benefits (assuming a constant tax
      rate equal to the rate in effect as of the date of the Executive's
      termination) beginning at his Benefit Age, equal in amount to that benefit
      which would have been payable to the Executive if no secular trust had
      been implemented and the benefit obligation had been accrued under APB
      Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106.

      (5) Death During Employment.

      If the Executive does not exercise any withdrawal rights pursuant to
      Subsection 2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, and if, following the
      Executive's death, the assets of the Retirement Income Trust Fund are
      insufficient to provide the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit to
      which the Executive is entitled, the Bank shall be required to make a
      Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust Fund equal to the sum of the
      remaining Contributions set forth on Exhibit A, after taking into
      consideration any payments under any life insurance policies that may have
      been obtained on the Executive's life by the Retirement Income Trust Fund.
      Such final contribution shall be payable in a lump sum to the Retirement
      Income Trust Fund within thirty (30) days of the Executive's death.

      (6) Contributions on Early or Normal Retirement.

      If the Executive does not exercise his withdrawal rights pursuant to
      Subsection 2.2, and terminates employment on or after attainment of his
      Early Retirement Age or Normal Retirement Age, within thirty (30) days of
      such termination of employment, the Bank shall be required to make an
      immediate additional

                                       11
<PAGE>

      lump sum Contribution to the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund, if
      necessary, in an amount sufficient to provide the Executive with after tax
      benefits (assuming a constant tax rate equal to the rate in effect as of
      the date of the Executive's termination) beginning at his Benefit Age,
      equal in amount to that benefit which would have been payable to the
      Executive if no secular trust had been implemented and the benefit
      obligation had been accrued under APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS
      106.

      (c) Withdrawal Rights Exercised.

      (1) Phantom Contributions Made Annually.

      If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
      2.2, no further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be
      required of the Bank. Thereafter, Phantom Contributions shall be recorded
      annually in the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account within thirty (30)
      days of the beginning of each Plan Year, commencing with the first Plan
      Year following the Plan Year in which the Executive exercises his
      withdrawal rights. Such Phantom Contributions shall continue to be
      recorded annually, unless this Subsection 2.1(c) specifically states
      otherwise, until the earlier of (i) the last Plan Year that Phantom
      Contributions are required pursuant to Exhibit A, or (ii) the Plan Year of
      the Executive's termination of employment.

      (2) Termination Following a Change in Control

      If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
      2.2, Phantom Contributions shall commence in the Plan Year following the
      Plan Year in which the Executive first exercises his withdrawal rights. If
      a Change in Control occurs at the Bank, and within thirty-six (36) months
      of such Change in Control, the Executive's employment is either (i)
      involuntarily terminated, or (ii) voluntarily terminated by the Executive
      after: (A) a material change in the Executive's function, duties, or
      responsibilities, which change would cause the Executive's position to
      become one of lesser responsibility, importance, or scope from the
      position the Executive held at the time of the Change in Control, (B) a
      relocation of the Executive's principal place of employment by more than
      thirty (30) miles from its location prior to the Change in Control, or (C)
      a material reduction in the benefits and perquisites to the Executive from
      those being provided at the time of the Change in Control, the Phantom
      Contribution set forth below shall be required of the Bank. The Bank shall
      be required to record a lump sum Phantom Contribution in the Accrued
      Benefit Account within ten (10) days of the Executive's termination of
      employment. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be
      actuarially determined based on the Phantom Contribution

                                       12
<PAGE>

      required, at such time, in order to provide a benefit via this Agreement
      equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit, on an after-tax
      basis, commencing on the Executive's Benefit Eligibility Date and
      continuing for the duration of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial
      determination shall reflect the fact that amounts shall be payable from
      both the Accrued Benefit Account as well as the Retirement Income Trust
      Fund and shall also reflect the amount and timing of any withdrawal(s)
      made by the Executive from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant to
      Subsection 2.2.)

      (3) Termination For Cause

      If the Executive is terminated for Cause pursuant to Subsection 5.2, the
      entire balance of the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account at the time of
      such termination, which shall include any Phantom Contributions which have
      been recorded plus interest accrued on such Phantom Contributions, shall
      be forfeited.

      (4) Involuntary Termination of Employment.

      If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
      2.2, and the Executive's employment with the Bank is involuntarily
      terminated for any reason including termination due to disability of the
      Executive, but excluding termination for Cause, or termination following a
      Change in Control, within thirty (30) days of such involuntary termination
      of employment, the Bank shall be required to record a final Phantom
      Contribution in an amount equal to: (i) the full Phantom Contribution
      required for the Plan Year in which such involuntary termination occurs,
      if not yet made, plus (ii) the present value (computed using a discount
      rate equal to the Interest Factor) of all remaining Phantom Contributions.

      (5) Death During Employment.

      If the Executive exercises his withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection
      2.2, and dies while employed by the Bank, Phantom Contributions included
      on Exhibit A shall be required of the Bank. Such Phantom Contributions
      shall commence in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the
      Executive exercises his withdrawal rights and shall continue through the
      Plan Year in which the Executive dies. The Bank shall also be required to
      record a final Phantom Contribution within thirty (30) days of the
      Executive's death. The amount of such final Phantom Contribution shall be
      actuarially determined based on the Phantom

                                       13
<PAGE>

      Contribution required at such time (if any), in order to provide a benefit
      via this Agreement equivalent to the Supplemental Retirement Income
      Benefit commencing within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator
      receives notice of the Executive's death and continuing for the duration
      of the Payout Period. (Such actuarial determination shall reflect the fact
      that amounts shall be payable from the Accrued Benefit Account as well as
      the Retirement Income Trust Fund and shall also reflect the amount and
      timing of any withdrawal(s) made by the Executive pursuant to Subsection
      2.2.)

2.2   Withdrawals From Retirement Income Trust Fund.

      Exercise of withdrawal rights by the Executive pursuant to the Anthony
      Bruno Grantor Trust agreement shall terminate the Bank's obligation to
      make any further Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund, and
      the Bank's obligation to record Phantom Contributions pursuant to
      Subsection 2.1(c) shall commence. For purposes of this Subsection 2.2,
      "exercise of withdrawal rights" shall mean those withdrawal rights to
      which the Executive is entitled under Article III of the Anthony Bruno
      Grantor Trust agreement and shall exclude any distributions made by the
      trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund to the Executive for purposes
      of payment of income taxes in accordance with Subsection 2.1 of this
      Agreement and the tax reimbursement formula contained in the trust
      document, or other trust expenses properly payable from the Anthony Bruno
      Grantor Trust pursuant to the provisions of the trust document.

2.3   Benefits Payable From Retirement Income Trust Fund

      Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the
      event that the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund purchases a
      life insurance policy with the Contributions to and, if applicable,
      earnings of the Trust, and such life insurance policy is intended to
      continue in force beyond the Payout Period for the disability or
      retirement benefits payable from the Retirement Income Trust Fund pursuant
      to this Agreement, then the trustee shall have discretion to determine the
      portion of the cash value of such policy available for purposes of
      annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund (it being understood that for
      purposes of this Section 2.3, "annuitizing" does not mean surrender of
      such policy and annuitizing of the cash value received upon such
      surrender) to provide the disability or retirement benefits payable under
      this Agreement, after taking into consideration the amounts reasonably
      believed to be required in order to maintain the cash value of such policy
      to continue such policy in effect until the death of the Executive and
      payment of death benefits thereunder.

                                   SECTION III
                               RETIREMENT BENEFIT

3.1   (a) Normal form of payment.

      If (i) the Executive is employed with the Bank until reaching his Early
      Retirement Age or Normal Retirement Age, and (ii) the Executive has not
      made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection
      3.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.

      The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Executive's Benefit
      Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly
      installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefit
      payments shall commence on the Executive's Benefit Eligibility Date.
      Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return,
      following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate
      of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no
      additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be
      required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and
      make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of
      return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of
      return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater
      than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust
      Fund, the final benefit payment to the Executive (or his Beneficiary)
      shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the
      greater-than-expected rate of return. The Executive may at anytime during
      the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid balance of his Retirement
      Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If such a lump sum payment is
      requested by the Executive, payment of the balance of the Retirement
      Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the
      Executive gives notice to both the Administrator and trustee in writing.
      Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such
      notice. In the event the Executive dies at any time after attaining his
      Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all monthly
      payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the Retirement Income
      Trust Fund shall pay to the Executive's Beneficiary the monthly
      installments (or a continuation of such monthly installments if they have
      already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout
      Period, or (ii) the Executive's Beneficiary may request to receive the
      unpaid balance of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump
      sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary,
      payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump
      sum form shall be made only if the Executive's Beneficiary notifies both
      the Administrator and trustee in writing of such

                                       15
<PAGE>

      election within ninety (90) days of the Executive's death. Such lump sum
      payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such notice.

      The Executive's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of
      the Executive's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest
      Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout
      Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Executive's Benefit
      Eligibility Date. In the event the Executive dies at any time after
      attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all
      the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the
      Executive's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation
      of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the
      balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Executive's
      Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit
      payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the
      Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the
      unpaid balance of the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such
      lump sum form shall be made only if the Executive's Beneficiary (i)
      obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in
      writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Executive's death.
      Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be
      made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.

      (b) Alternative payout option.

      If (i) the Executive is employed with the Bank until reaching his Early
      Retirement Age or Normal Retirement Age, and (ii) the Executive has made a
      Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 3.1(b)
      shall be controlling with respect to retirement benefits.

      The balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the
      Executive's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on
      his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the Executive dies after
      becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment of his Benefit Age),
      but before the actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be entitled
      to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b)
      within thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of
      the Executive's death.

      The balance of the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable),
      measured as of the Executive's Benefit Age, shall be paid to the Executive
      in a lump sum on his Benefit Eligibility Date. In the event the

                                       16
<PAGE>

      Executive dies after becoming eligible for such payment (upon attainment
      of his Benefit Age), but before the actual payment is made, his
      Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in
      accordance with this Subsection 3.1(b) within thirty (30) days of the date
      the Administrator receives notice of the Executive's death.

                                   SECTION IV
                          PRE-RETIREMENT DEATH BENEFIT

4.1   (a) Normal form of payment.

      If (i) the Executive dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the
      Executive has not made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit,
      this Subsection 4.1(a) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement
      death benefits.

      The balance of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as
      of the later of (i) the Executive's death, or (ii) the date any final lump
      sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be
      annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly installments and shall
      be payable for the Payout Period. Such benefits shall commence within
      thirty (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the
      Executive's death. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually
      earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is annuitized,
      which is less than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement
      Income Trust Fund, no additional contributions to the Retirement Income
      Trust Fund shall be required by the Bank in order to fund the final
      benefit payment(s) and make up for any shortage attributable to the
      less-than-expected rate of return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund
      assets actually earn a rate of return, following the date such balance is
      annuitized, which is greater than the rate of return used to annuitize the
      Retirement Income Trust Fund, the final benefit payment to the Executive's
      Beneficiary shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the
      greater-than-expected rate of return. The Executive's Beneficiary may
      request to receive the unpaid balance of the Executive's Retirement Income
      Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by
      the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust
      Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Executive's
      Beneficiary notifies both the Administrator and trustee in writing of such
      election within ninety (90) days of the Executive's death. Such lump sum
      payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of such notice.

      The Executive's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of
      the later of (i) the Executive's death or (ii) the date any final lump sum
      Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account pursuant
      to Subsection 2.1(c), shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into
      monthly installments and shall be payable to the Executive's Beneficiary
      for the Payout Period. Such benefit payments shall commence within thirty
      (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Executive's
      death, or if later, within thirty (30) days after any final lump sum
      Phantom Contribution is recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account in
      accordance with Subsection 2.1(c). The Executive's Beneficiary may request
      to receive the remainder of any unpaid monthly benefit payments due from
      the Accrued Benefit Account in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment
      is requested by the Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall
      be equal to the balance of the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account.
      Payment in such lump sum form shall be made only if the Executive's
      Beneficiary (i) obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the
      Administrator in writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the
      Executive's death. Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of
      Directors, shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such Board of
      Director approval.

      (b) Alternative payout option.

      If (i) the Executive dies while employed by the Bank, and (ii) the
      Executive has made a Timely Election to receive a lump sum benefit, this
      Subsection 4.1(b) shall be controlling with respect to pre-retirement
      death benefits.

      The balance of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as
      of the later of (i) the Executive's death, or (ii) the date any final lump
      sum Contribution is made pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b), shall be paid to
      the Executive's Beneficiary in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the
      date the Administrator receives notice of the Executive's death.

                BENEFIT(S) IN THE EVENT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE
                         PRIOR TO NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE

5.1   Voluntary or Involuntary Termination of Service Other Than for Cause. In
      the event the Executive's service with the Bank is voluntarily or
      involuntarily terminated prior to Normal Retirement Age, for any reason
      including a Change in Control, but excluding (i) any disability related
      termination for which the Board of Directors has approved early payment of
      benefits pursuant to Subsection 6.1, (ii) the Executive's pre-retirement
      death, which shall be covered in Section IV, (iii) retirement elected by
      the Executive upon the attainment of his Early Retirement Age, which shall
      be covered in Section III, or (iv) termination for Cause, which shall be
      covered in Subsection 5.2, the Executive (or his Beneficiary) shall be

      (a) Normal form of payment.

      (1) Executive Lives Until Benefit Age

      If (i) after such termination, the Executive lives until attaining his
      Benefit Age, and (ii) the Executive has not made a Timely Election to
      receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 5.1(a)(1) shall be controlling
      with respect to retirement benefits.

      The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Executive's Benefit
      Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into monthly
      installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such payments
      shall commence on the Executive's Benefit Eligibility Date. Should
      Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return,
      following the date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate
      of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no
      additional contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be
      required by the Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and
      make up for any shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of
      return. Should Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of
      return, following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater
      than the rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust
      Fund, the final benefit payment to the Executive (or his Beneficiary)
      shall distribute the excess amounts attributable to the
      greater-than-expected rate of return. The Executive may at anytime during
      the Payout Period request to receive the unpaid balance of his Retirement
      Income Trust Fund in a lump sum payment. If such a lump sum payment is
      requested by the Executive, payment of the balance of the Retirement
      Income Trust Fund in such lump sum form shall be made only if the
      Executive gives notice to both the Administrator and trustee in writing.
      Such lump sum payment shall be payable within thirty (30) days of such
      notice. In the event the Executive dies at any time after attaining his
      Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all monthly
      payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the trustee of the Retirement Income
      Trust Fund shall pay to the Executive's Beneficiary the monthly
      installments (or a continuation of the monthly installments if they have
      already commenced) for the balance of months remaining in the Payout
      Period, or (ii) the Executive's Beneficiary may request to receive the
      unpaid balance of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund in a lump
      sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the Beneficiary,
      payment of the balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund in such lump
      sum form shall be made only if the Executive's Beneficiary notifies both
      the Administrator and trustee in writing of such election within ninety
      (90) days of the Executive's death. Such lump sum payment shall be made
      within thirty (30) days of such notice.

      The Executive's Accrued Benefit Account (if applicable), measured as of
      the Executive's Benefit Age, shall be annuitized (using the Interest
      Factor) into monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout
      Period. Such benefit payments shall commence on the Executive's Benefit
      Eligibility Date. In the event the Executive dies at any time after
      attaining his Benefit Age, but prior to commencement or completion of all
      the payments due and owing hereunder, (i) the Bank shall pay to the
      Executive's Beneficiary the same monthly installments (or a continuation
      of such monthly installments if they have already commenced) for the
      balance of months remaining in the Payout Period, or (ii) the Executive's
      Beneficiary may request to receive the remainder of any unpaid benefit
      payments in a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is requested by the
      Beneficiary, the amount of such lump sum payment shall be equal to the
      unpaid balance of the Executive's Accrued Benefit Account. Payment in such
      lump sum form shall be made only if the Executive's Beneficiary (i)
      obtains Board of Director approval, and (ii) notifies the Administrator in
      writing of such election within ninety (90) days of the Executive's death.
      Such lump sum payment, if approved by the Board of Directors, shall be
      made within thirty (30) days of such Board of Director approval.

      (2) Executive Dies Prior to Benefit Age

      If (i) after such termination, the Executive dies prior to attaining his
      Benefit Age, and (ii) the Executive has not made a Timely Election to
      receive a lump sum benefit, this Subsection 5.1(a)(2) shall be controlling
      with respect to retirement benefits.

      The Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the date of the
      Executive's death, shall be annuitized (using the Interest Factor) into
      monthly installments and shall be payable for the Payout Period. Such
      payments shall commence within thirty (30) days of the date the
      Administrator receives notice of the Executive's death. Should Retirement
      Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return, following the
      date such balance is annuitized, which is less than the rate of return
      used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, no additional
      contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund shall be required by the
      Bank in order to fund the final benefit payment(s) and make up for any
      shortage attributable to the less-than-expected rate of return. Should
      Retirement Income Trust Fund assets actually earn a rate of return,
      following the date such balance is annuitized, which is greater than the
      rate of return used to annuitize the Retirement Income Trust Fund, the
      final benefit payment to the Executive's Beneficiary shall distribute the
      excess amounts attributable to the greater-than-expected rate of return.
      The Executive's Beneficiary may

                                       21
<PAGE>

      request to receive the unpaid balance of the Executive's Retirement Income
      Trust Fund in the form of a lump sum payment. If a lump sum payment is
      requested by the Beneficiary, payment of the balance of the Retirement

      all remaining Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) set forth in
      Exhibit A, but not required pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b) (or 2.1(c)) due
      to the Executive's disability-related termination. Such lump sum payment,

      Executive's Beneficiary shall not be entitled to such benefit if the
      Executive is terminated for Cause prior to death.

                                   SECTION VII
                             BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

      agrees that, for as long as he remains employed by the Bank, he will

      the business of the Bank, and will not actively engage, either directly or
      indirectly, in any business or other activity which is, or may be deemed
      to be, in any way competitive with or adverse to the best interests of the
      business of the Bank, unless the Executive has the prior express written

      cease, and all benefits under this Agreement, other than those which can
      be paid from previous Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund

      the Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the Executive's Benefit
      Age, shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum on his Benefit
      Eligibility Date. In the event the Executive dies after attaining his
      Benefit Age but before actual payment is made, his Beneficiary shall be
      entitled to receive the lump sum benefit in accordance with this
      Subsection 8.2(a)(1) within thirty (30) days of the date of the
      Administrator receives notice of the Executive's death.

8.3   Non-Competition Following Employment.

      (a) Executive Agrees Not to Compete

      The Executive expressly agrees that, as consideration for the covenants of
      the Bank contained herein and as a condition to the performance by the
      Bank of its obligations hereunder, from and after any voluntary or
      involuntary termination of service, other than a termination of service
      related to a Change in Control, and continuing throughout the Payout
      Period or, with respect to Section 8.3 (c), for two years following
      termination of employment, he will not without the prior written consent
      of the Bank, serve as an officer or director or employee of any bank
      holding company, bank, savings association or mortgage company with its
      principal office in Passaic County, New Jersey, and which offers products
      or services in Passaic County competing with those offered by the Holding
      Company or the Bank.

      (b) Benefits Paid From Accrued Benefit Account.

      Executive understands and agrees that, following Executive's voluntary or
      involuntary termination of employment, the Bank's obligation, if any, to
      make payments to the Executive from the Accrued Benefit Account shall be
      conditioned on the Executive's forbearance from actively engaging, either
      directly or indirectly in any business or other activity which is, or may
      be deemed to be, in any way competitive with or adverse to the best
      interests of the Bank, unless the Executive has the prior written consent
      of the Bank. In the event of the Executive's breach of the covenants and
      agreements contained herein, further payments to the Executive from the
      Accrued Benefit Account, if any, shall cease and Executive's rights to
      amounts credited to the Accrued Benefit Account shall be forfeited.

      (c) Benefits Paid From Retirement Income Trust Fund.

      Executive understands and agrees that Executive's violation of these
      provisions following a voluntary or involuntary termination of employment,
      other than a termination of employment following a Change in Control, will
      cause irreparable harm to the Bank. In the event of Executive's violation
      of this Section 8.3 within three (3) years of such voluntary or
      involuntary termination of employment, Executive agrees to pay or cause
      the Retirement Income Trust Fund to pay to the Bank, as liquidated damages
      an amount equal to 10% of the after-tax contributions, which the Bank has
      made on Executive's behalf to the Retirement Income Trust Fund. Said
      liquidated damages payment shall be separate from, and in addition to, any
      amounts forfeited from the Accrued Benefit Account.

      (d) Change in Control.

      In the event of a Change in Control, this Section 8.3 shall be null and
      void.

                                   SECTION IX
                           EXECUTIVE'S RIGHT TO ASSETS

      The rights of the Executive, any Beneficiary, or any other person claiming
      through the Executive under this Agreement, shall be solely those of an
      unsecured general creditor of the Bank. The Executive, the Beneficiary, or
      any other person claiming through the Executive, shall only have the right
      to receive from the Bank those payments or amounts so specified under this
      Agreement. The Executive agrees 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 shall not be deemed to be held under
      any trust for the benefit of the Executive or his Beneficiaries, unless
      such asset is contained in the rabbi trust described in Section XII of
      this Agreement. Any such asset shall be and remain a general, unpledged
      asset of the Bank in the event of the Bank's insolvency.

                                    SECTION X
                            RESTRICTIONS 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,
      other than those Contributions required to be made to the Retirement
      Income Trust Fund. The Executive, his Beneficiaries or any successor in
      interest to him shall be and remain simply a general unsecured 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
      in its sole discretion to either purchase assets to meet its obligations
      undertaken by this Agreement or to refrain from the same and to determine
      the extent, nature, and method of such asset purchases. Should the Bank
      decide to purchase assets such as life insurance, mutual funds, disability
      policies or annuities, the Bank reserves the absolute right, in its sole
      discretion, to replace such assets from time to time or to terminate its
      investment in such assets at any time, in whole or in part. At no time
      shall the Executive be deemed to

                                       28
<PAGE>

      have any lien, right, title or interest in or to any specific 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 the Executive,
      then the Executive shall assist the Bank by freely submitting to a
      physical examination and by supplying such additional information
      necessary to obtain such insurance or annuities.

                                   SECTION XI
                                 ACT PROVISIONS

11.1  Named Fiduciary and Administrator. The Bank, as Administrator, shall be
      the Named Fiduciary 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.

11.2  Claims Procedure and Arbitration. In the event that benefits under this
      Agreement are not paid to the Executive (or to his Beneficiary in the case
      of the Executive's death) and such claimants feel they are entitled to
      receive such benefits, then a written claim must be made to the
      Administrator within sixty (60) days from the date payments are refused.
      The Administrator shall review the written claim and, if the claim is
      denied, in whole or in part, it shall provide in writing, within ninety
      (90) days of receipt of such claim, its 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 writing by the Administrator shall further indicate the
      additional steps which must be undertaken by claimants if an additional
      review of the claim denial is desired.

      If claimants desire a second review, they shall notify the Administrator
      in writing within sixty (60) days of the first claim denial. Claimants may
      review this Agreement or any documents relating thereto and submit any
      issues and comments, in writing, they may feel appropriate. In its sole
      discretion, the Administrator shall then review the second claim and
      provide a written decision within sixty (60) days of receipt of such
      claim. This decision shall state the specific reasons for the decision and
      shall include reference to specific provisions of this Agreement upon
      which the decision is based.

                                       29
<PAGE>

      If claimants continue to dispute the benefit denial based upon completed
      performance of this Plan and 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.

                                   SECTION XII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

12.1  No Effect on Employment Rights. Nothing contained herein will confer upon

      Executive without regard to the existence of the Agreement.

      according to, the laws of the state of New Jersey, to the extent such laws

12.3  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.

12.4  Incapacity of Recipient. In the event the Executive is declared
      incompetent and a conservator or other person legally charged with the
      care of his person or 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
      Estate.

12.5  Unclaimed Benefit. The Executive shall keep the Bank informed of his
      current address and the current address of his Beneficiaries. The Bank

                                       30
<PAGE>

      If the location of the Executive is not made known to the Bank as of the
      date upon which any payment of any benefits from the Accrued Benefit
      Account may first be made, the Bank shall delay payment of the Executive's
      benefit payment(s) until the location of the Executive is made known to
      the Bank; however, the Bank shall only be obligated to hold such benefit
      payment(s) for the Executive until the expiration of thirty-six (36)
      months.

12.6  Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions
      of the Agreement, no individual acting as an employee or agent of the
      Bank, or as a member of the Board of Directors shall be personally liable
      to the Executive or any other person for any claim, loss, liability or
      expense incurred in connection with the Agreement.

12.7  Gender. Whenever in this Agreement words are used in the masculine or
      neuter gender, they shall be read and construed as in the masculine,

      Agreement shall affect the right of the 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.

12.9  Suicide. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if
      the Executive's death results from suicide, whether sane or insane, within
      twenty-six (26) months after execution of this Agreement, all further
      Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Phantom
      Contributions recorded in the Accrued Benefit Account) shall thereupon
      cease, and no Contribution (or Phantom Contribution) shall be made by the
      Bank to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or recorded in the Accrued
      Benefit Account) in the year such death resulting from suicide occurs (if
      not yet made). All benefits other than those available from previous
      Contributions to the Retirement Income Trust Fund under this Agreement
      shall be forfeited, and this Agreement shall become null and void. The
      balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund, measured as of the
      Executive's date of death, shall be paid to the Beneficiary within thirty
      (30) days of the date the Administrator receives notice of the Executive's

12.12 Establishment of a Rabbi Trust. The Bank shall establish a rabbi trust
      into which the Bank shall 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 such rabbi trust agreement), until the
      contributed assets are paid to the Executive and/or his Beneficiary in
      such manner and at such times as specified in this Agreement. It is the
      intention of the Bank that the contribution or contributions to the rabbi
      trust shall provide the Bank with a source of funds to assist it in
      meeting the liabilities of this Agreement.

12.13 Source of Payments. All payments provided in this Agreement shall be
      timely paid in cash or check from the general funds of the Bank or the
      assets of the rabbi trust, to the extent made from the Accrued Benefit
      Account. The Holding Company, however guarantees payment and provision of
      all amounts and benefits due to the Executive from the Accrued Benefit
      Account or Contribution to the Retirement Income Trust Fund and, if such
      Contributions, 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 Holding Company.

                                  SECTION XIII
                           AMENDMENT/PLAN TERMINATION

13.1  Amendment or Plan Termination. The Bank intends this Agreement to be
      permanent, and the Agreement may not be amended or terminated without the
      express written consent of the parties. Any amendment or termination of
      the Agreement shall be made pursuant to a resolution of the Board of
      Directors of the Bank and shall be effective as of the date of such
      resolution. No amendment or termination of the Agreement shall directly or
      indirectly deprive the Executive of all or any portion of the Executive's
      Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable)
      as of the effective date of the resolution amending or terminating the
      Agreement.

                                       32

      Notwithstanding the above, if the Executive does not exercise any
      withdrawal rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2, and if at any time after the
      final Contribution immediately prior to Executive's Benefits Eligibility
      Date or the date that triggers distribution is made to the Retirement
      Income Trust Fund the Executive elects to terminate the Retirement Income
      Trust Fund and receive a distribution of the assets of the Retirement
      Income Trust Fund, then upon such distribution this Agreement shall
      terminate.

13.2  Executive's Right to Payment Following Plan Termination. In the event of a
      termination of the Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to the
      balance, if any, of his Retirement Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit
      Account, if applicable). However, if such termination is done in
      anticipation of or pursuant to a "Change in Control," such balance(s)
      shall include the final Contribution (or final Phantom Contribution) made
      (or recorded) pursuant to Subsection 2.1(b)(2) (or 2.1(c)(2)). Payment of
      the balance(s) of the Executive's Retirement Income Trust Fund (and
      Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) shall not be dependent upon his
      continuation of employment with the Bank following the termination date of
      the Agreement. Payment of the balance(s) of the Executive's Retirement
      Income Trust Fund (and Accrued Benefit Account, if applicable) shall be
      made in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date of termination of
      the Agreement.

                                       AND
               SCHEDULE OF CONTRIBUTIONS AND PHANTOM CONTRIBUTIONS

1. Interest Factor - for purposes of:

      a.    the Accrued Benefit Account - shall be six percent (6%) per annum,
            compounded monthly.

      b.    the Retirement Income Trust Fund - for purposes of annuitizing the
            balance of the Retirement Income Trust Fund over the Payout Period,
            the trustee of the Anthony Bruno Grantor Trust shall exercise
            discretion in selecting the appropriate rate given the nature of the
            investments contained in the Retirement Income Trust Fund and the
            expected return associated with the investments. For these purposes,
            if the trustee of the Retirement Income Trust Fund has purchased a
            life insurance policy, the trustee shall have the discretion to
            determine the portion of the cash value of such policy available for
            purposes of annuitizing the Retirement Income Trust Fund, in
            accordance with Section 2.3 of the Agreement.

2.    The amount of the annual Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) to the
      Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Accrued Benefit Account) has been based
      on the annual level accounting accruals which would be required of the
      Bank through the earlier of the Executive's death or Normal Retirement
      Age, (i) pursuant to APB Opinion No. 12, as amended by FAS 106 and (ii)

      Benefit.

3.    Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit means an actuarially determined
      annual amount equal to One Hundred and Eleven Thousand Nine Hundred
      Eighteen Dollars ($111,989) at age 65 if paid entirely from the Accrued
      Benefit Account or Seventy-One Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy-Three
      Dollars ($71,673) at age 65 if paid from the Retirement Income Trust Fund.

      The Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit:

      o     the definition of Supplemental Retirement Income Benefit has been
            incorporated into the Agreement for the sole purpose of actuarially
            establishing the amount of annual Contributions (or Phantom
            Contributions) to the Retirement Income Trust Fund (or Accrued
            Benefit Account). The amount of any actual retirement,
            pre-retirement or disability benefit payable pursuant to the
            Agreement will be a function of (i) the amount and timing of
            Contributions (or Phantom Contributions) to the Retirement Income
            Trust Fund (or Accrued Benefit Account) and (ii) the actual
            investment experience of such Contributions (or the monthly
            compounding rate of Phantom Contributions).

§ 4. 

 

Result of Termination 

	
4.1 
	
For Cause Termination or Voluntary Termination. If Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated during the Original Term as a result of a Voluntary Termination or a For Cause Termination, Executive shall not thereafter be entitled to receive any Base Salary for periods following such termination; provided, however, that Executive shall be entitled to receive any Base Salary which may be owned to Executive but is unpaid as of the date on which Executive's employment is terminated. 

		
	
4.2 
	
Termination As Result of No Cause Termination or Employee-Initiated Termination. If Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated during the Original Term as a result of a No Cause Termination or an Employee-Initiated Termination, Executive shall be entitled to receive (i) any Base Salary which may be owned to Executive but is unpaid as of the date on which Executive’s employment is terminated; and (ii) his Base Salary as in effect on the date of such termination for the period up to the first anniversary of the Effective Date. The payment of such Base Salary pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be made at such intervals in accordance with the Company’s payroll procedures in effect from time to time with respect to officers of the Company but no less frequently than monthly. In addition, in the event of Executive’s death following a No Cause Termination or an Employee-Initiated Termination, any Base Salary payable to Executive under clauses (i) and (ii) above not yet paid on the date of Executive’s death shall be paid to Executive’s designated beneficiary, if any, or if none, his surviving spouse or, if none, his estate (collectively, the "Beneficiary"). Such payments shall be made to the Beneficiary at such times as would otherwise have been payable to Executive under this Section 4.2; provided, however, that the Company may in its discretion pay such Base Salary and Bonus to the Beneficiary in a lump sum payment in an amount determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in subsection (B) of Section 4.3. 

		

	
4.3 
	
Termination as a Result of a Death Termination or a Disability Termination During Original Term . If Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated as a result of a Death Termination or Disability Termination during the Original Term, (i) Executive (or, in the case of a Death Termination, Executive’s Beneficiary as defined in Section 4.2) shall be entitled to receive any Base Salary and cash bonus which may be owed to Executive but is unpaid as of the date on which Executive’s employment is terminated; and (ii) his Base Salary as in effect on the date of such termination for the period up to, but not including the first anniversary of the Effective Date. In addition, the following provisions shall apply: 

		
	
 
	
(A) 
	
If payment of Base Salary is to be made under clause (ii) of this Section 4.3 due to a Disability Termination, such Base Salary shall be paid at such intervals in accordance with the Company's payroll procedures in effect from time to time with respect to officers of the Company but no less frequently than monthly, and such Base Salary shall be offset by any amounts payable to Executive under any long-term disability plan sponsored by the Company or its affiliates. In the event of Executive’s death following a Disability Termination, any Base Salary payable to Executive under this Section 4.3 (taking into account the offset described above, if any) and not yet paid on the date of Executive’s death shall be paid to Executive’s Beneficiary. Such payments shall be made to the Beneficiary at such times as would otherwise have been payable to Executive under this subsection (A); provided, however, that the Company may in its discretion pay such Base Salary to the Beneficiary in a lump sum payment in an amount determined in accordance with the methodology set forth in subsection (B) of this Section 4.3. 

	
 
	
(B) 
	
In the event of a Death Termination, payments to the Beneficiary shall be made in a single lump sum as soon as practical after Executive's death. The amount of such lump sum shall be equal to the present value, determined using a 9% interest rate, of the total amount of Base Salary payable to the Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 4.3 and not yet paid on the date of Executive’s death. 

	
4.4 
	
Employee Benefit Plans and Incentive Compensation and Other Compensatory Arrangements . The benefits, if any, payable to or on behalf of Executive upon his termination of employment from the Company under any employee benefit plan or incentive compensation or other compensatory arrangement shall be governed by the terms and conditions for benefit payments set forth in such plans and arrangements
