      SUPPLEMENTAL
        EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN AGREEMENT

      

      THIS
        SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is adopted
        effective as of this 1st
        day of
        January, 2008, by and between HABERSHAM BANK, a state-chartered commercial
        bank
        located in Clarkesville, Georgia (the “Bank”) and EDWARD D. ARIAIL (the
“Executive”).

      

      The
        purpose of this Agreement is to provide specified benefits to the Executive,
        a
        member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees who
        contribute materially to the continued growth, development, and future business
        success of the Bank.  This Agreement shall be unfunded for tax
        purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security
        Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended from time to time.

      Definitions

      

      Whenever
        used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings
        specified:

                “Account
                  Value”
                  means the amount which would be accrued by the Bank at any particular
                  time
                  assuming the Discount Rate remained constant at the initial Discount
                  Rate.  The parties expressly acknowledge that the Account Value
                  may be different than the liability that should be accrued by the
                  Bank,
                  under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), for the Bank’s
                  obligation to the Executive under this Agreement.  The Account
                  Value on any date other than the end of a Plan Year shall be determined
                  by
                  adding the prorated increase attributable for the current Plan
                  Year to the
                  Account Value for the previous Plan Year.

                “Base
                  Annual
                  Salary” means the annual cash compensation relating to services
                  performed during any calendar year, excluding distributions from

                  overtime,
                  fringe benefits, stock options, relocation expenses, incentive
                  payments,
                  non-monetary awards, and other fees, and automobile and other allowances
                  paid to the Executive for employment rendered (whether or not such
                  allowances are included in the Executive’s gross income).  Base
                  Annual Salary shall be calculated before reduction for compensation
                  voluntarily deferred or contributed by the Executive pursuant to
                  all
                  qualified or non-qualified plans of the Bank and shall be calculated
                  to
                  include amounts not otherwise included in the Executive's gross
                  income
                  under Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b) pursuant
                  to plans
                  established by the Bank; provided, however, that all such amounts
                  will be
                  included in compensation only to the extent that had there been
                  no such
                  plan, the amount would have been payable in cash to the Executive.

                  installments commencing on the first day of the month following
                  Normal
                  Retirement Age.  The annual benefit shall be distributed to the
                  Executive for fifteen (15) years.

                Restriction
                  on Timing
                  of Distribution.  Notwithstanding any provision of this
                  Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is considered a Specified
                  Employee at Separation from Service under such procedures as established
                  by the Bank in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, benefit
                  distributions that are otherwise payable upon Separation from Service
                  may
                  not commence earlier than six (6) months after the date of
                  such Separation from Service.  Therefore, in the event
                  this Section 2.5 is applicable to the Executive, any distribution
                  which
                  would otherwise be paid to the Executive within the first six months
                  following the Separation from Service shall be accumulated and
                  paid to the
                  Executive in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following
                  the Separation from Service.  All subsequent distributions shall
                  be paid in the manner specified.

                  amount is required to be included in income by the Executive prior
                  to
                  receipt due to a failure of this Agreement to meet the requirements
                  of

                  the Plan
                  Administrator shall distribute that portion of the amount the Bank
                  has
                  accrued with respect to the Bank’s obligations hereunder that is required
                  to be included in the Executive’s income.  The Bank shall
                  distribute to the Executive such amount in immediately available
                  funds in
                  an amount equal to the portion of the amount the Bank has accrued
                  with
                  respect to the Bank’s obligations hereunder required to be included in
                  income as a result of the failure of this Agreement to meet the
                  requirements of Code Section 409A and related Treasury guidance
                  or
                  Regulations, which amount shall not exceed the Executive's unpaid
                  amount
                  the Bank has accrued with respect to the Bank’s obligations
                  hereunder.  Such distribution shall be made within ninety (90)
                  days of the date the Plan Administrator determines that the income
                  inclusion described in this Section 2.6 is required.  Such a
                  distribution shall affect and reduce the Executive’s benefits to be paid
                  under this Agreement.

                  Form,
                  and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated
                  agent.  The Executive's beneficiary designation shall be deemed
                  automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive
                  or if
                  the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is
                  subsequently dissolved.  The Executive shall have the right to

                  the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s
                  rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time.  Upon the
                  acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation
                  Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be
                  cancelled.  The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on
                  the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and
                  accepted
                  by the Plan Administrator prior to the Executive’s death.

                  Executive, then the Executive’s spouse shall be the designated

                  to a person
                  declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the
                  disposition
                  of that person’s property, the Plan Administrator may direct distribution
                  of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person
                  having the
                  care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable
                  person.  The Plan Administrator may require proof of
                  incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate
                  prior to
                  distribution of the benefit.  Any distribution of a benefit
                  shall be a distribution for the account of the Executive and the
                  Executive’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete
                  discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such distribution
                  amount.

                Claims
                  Procedure.  An Executive or Beneficiary (“claimant”) who
                  has not received benefits under the Agreement that he or she believes
                  should be distributed shall make a claim for such benefits as follows:

                Initiation
–
Written
                  Claim.  The claimant initiates a claim by submitting to
                  the Plan Administrator a written claim for the benefits.  If
                  such a claim relates to the contents of a notice received by the
                  claimant,
                  the claim must be made within sixty (60) days after such notice was
                  received by the claimant.  All other claims must be made within
                  one hundred eighty (180) days of the date on which the event that
                  caused the claim to arise occurred.  The claim must state with
                  particularity the determination desired by the claimant.

                Timing
                  of Plan
                  Administrator Response.  The
                  Plan
                  Administrator shall respond to such claimant within ninety (90)
                  days after
                  receiving the claim (forty-five (45) days with respect to a denial
                  of any
                  claim for benefits due to the Executive’s Disability).  If the
                  Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require
                  additional time for processing the claim, the Plan Administrator
                  can
                  extend the response period by an additional ninety (90) days (thirty
                  (30)
                  days with respect to a claim for benefits due to the Executive’s
                  Disability) by notifying the claimant in writing, prior to the
                  end of such
                  initial period, that an additional period is required.  With
                  respect to a claim for benefits due to the Executive’s Disability, an
                  additional extension of up to thirty (30) days beyond the initial
                  30-day
                  extension period may be required for processing the claim.  In
                  such event, written notice of the extension shall be furnished
                  to the
                  claimant within the initial 30-day extension period.  The notice
                  of extension must set forth the special circumstances and the date
                  by
                  which the Plan Administrator expects to render its decision.

                  of the claim, the Plan Administrator shall notify the claimant
                  in writing
                  of such denial.  The Plan Administrator shall write the
                  notification in a manner calculated to be understood by the
                  claimant.  The notification shall set forth:

                  a denial of

                  Administrator or, if applicable, Appeals Fiduciary a written request
                  for
                  review.  For purposes of this Article 6, the term “Appeals
                  Fiduciary” means an individual or group of individuals appointed to review
                  appeals of claims for benefits payable due to the Executive’s Disability.

                  judgment (including determinations with regard to whether a particular
                  treatment, drug, or other item is experimental, investigational,
                  or not

                consult
                  with a health care professional who has appropriate training and
                  experience in the field of medicine involved in the medical judgment;
                  and

                  connection
                  with the denial without regard to whether the advice was relied
                  upon in
                  making the determination to deny the claim.

              

      

      

      Notwithstanding

        such
        individual.

                  the
                  claimant submits relating to the claim, without regard to whether
                  such

                  determination.

                Timing

                  respond in writing to such claimant within sixty (60) days (forty-five
                  (45) days with respect to a claim for benefits due to the Executive’s
                  Disability) after receiving the request for review.  If the Plan
                  Administrator (or Appeals Fiduciary) determines that special circumstances
                  require additional time for processing the claim, the Plan Administrator
                  (or Appeals Fiduciary) can extend the response period by an additional
                  sixty (60) days (forty-five (45) days with respect to a claim for
                  benefits
                  due to the Executive’s Disability) by notifying the claimant in writing,
                  prior to the end of such day period that an additional period is
                  required.  The notice of extension must set forth the special
                  circumstances and the date by which the Plan Administrator (or
                  Appeals
                  Fiduciary) expects to render its decision.

                Amendments.  This
                  Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement signed by
                  the Bank
                  and the Executive.  However, the Bank may unilaterally amend
                  this Agreement to conform to written directives to the Bank from
                  its
                  auditors or banking regulators or to comply with legislative or
                  tax law,
                  including without limitation Section 409A of the Code and any and
                  all

                  Termination
                  Generally.  The Bank may unilaterally terminate this
                  Agreement at any time.  The benefit shall be the Account Value
                  as of the date the Agreement is terminated.  Except as provided
                  in Section 7.3, the termination of this Agreement shall not cause
                  a
                  distribution of benefits under this Agreement.  Rather, upon
                  such termination benefit distributions will be made at the earliest
                  distribution event permitted under Article 2 or Article 3.

                  months and no later than twenty-four (24) months following such

                  plans
                  for a minimum of five (5) years following the date of such termination;

                  to remain an employee nor interfere with the Executive's right
                  to
                  terminate employment at any time.

                  federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding
                  obligations, from the benefits provided under this Agreement or
                  from any
                  other compensation otherwise payable to the Executive.  The
                  Executive acknowledges that the Bank’s sole liability regarding such
                  withholding taxes is to forward any amounts withheld to the appropriate
                  taxing authority(ies).  The Executive agrees that appropriate
                  amounts for withholding may be deducted from the cash salary, bonus
                  or
                  other payments due to Executive by the Bank, including payments
                  due under
                  this Agreement.  If insufficient cash wages are available or if
                  Executive so desires, Executive may remit payment in cash for the
                  withholding amounts.  In addition, the Bank shall be responsible
                  for withholding and payment to appropriate taxing authority(ies)
                  of all
                  employment tax obligations required to be paid and withheld by
                  the Bank
                  pursuant to Code Section 3121(v) and regulations promulgated thereunder
                  or
                  any other applicable law on the present value of benefits hereunder
                  which
                  are vested but not yet payable.  In that regard, payment under
                  this Agreement may be accelerated to pay the FICA tax imposed under
                  Code
                  Sections 3101, 3121(a), and 3121(v)(2), where applicable, on benefits
                  paid
                  or provided to Executive under this Agreement (the “FICA Amount”) or to
                  pay the income tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section
                  3401 or
                  the corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local,
                  or
                  foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA Amount,
                  and to pay
                  the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the
                  pyramiding Code Section 3401 wages and taxes; provided that the
                  total
                  amount accelerated pursuant to this sentence may not exceed the
                  aggregate
                  of the FICA Amount and the income tax withholding related to such
                  FICA
                  Amount.  Withholding and payment of any taxes under this Section
                  9.4 shall reduce the amount of the benefits otherwise payable to
                  the
                  Executive.

                Unfunded
                  Arrangement.  The Executive and the Beneficiary are
                  general unsecured creditors of the Bank for the distribution of
                  benefits
                  under this Agreement.  The benefits represent the mere promise
                  by the Bank to distribute such benefits.  The rights to benefits
                  are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale,
                  transfer,
                  assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by
                  creditors.  Any insurance on the Executive's life or other
                  informal funding asset is a general asset of the Bank to which
                  the
                  Executive and Beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.

                  or sell

                  discharge the obligations of the Bank under this
                  Agreement.  Upon the occurrence of such event, the term “Bank”

                  as to

                  such alternative act as most nearly carries out the intent and
                  purpose of

                Deduction
                  Limitation

                  that the Bank’s deduction with respect to any distribution under this
                  Agreement would be limited or eliminated by application of Code

                  162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by the Bank to ensure
                  that the
                  entire amount of any distribution from this Agreement is deductible,
                  the
                  Bank may delay payment of any amount that would otherwise be distributed
                  under this Agreement.  The delayed amounts shall be distributed
                  to the Executive (or the Beneficiary in the event of the Executive's
                  death) at the earliest date the Bank reasonably anticipates that
                  the
                  deduction of the payment of the amount will not be limited or eliminated
                  by application of Code Section 162(m).

      SUPPLEMENTAL
        EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN AGREEMENT

      

      THIS
        SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is adopted
        effective as of this 1st
        day of
        January, 2008, by and between HABERSHAM BANCORP, a Georgia corporation, and
        BONNIE BOWLING (the “Executive”).

      

      The
        purpose of this Agreement is to provide specified benefits to the Executive,
        a
        member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees who
        contribute materially to the continued growth, development, and future business
        success of the Corporation.  This Agreement shall be unfunded for tax
        purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security
        Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended from time to time.

      

      Article
        1

      Definitions

      

      Whenever
        used in this Agreement, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings
        specified:

      

      
        	
                1.1  

              	
                “Account
                  Value”
                  means the amount which would be accrued by the Corporation at any
                  particular time assuming the Discount Rate remained constant at
                  the
                  initial Discount Rate.  The parties expressly acknowledge that
                  the Account Value may be different than the liability that should
                  be
                  accrued by the Corporation, under Generally Accepted Accounting
                  Principles
                  (“GAAP”), for the Corporation’s obligation to the Executive under this
                  Agreement.  The Account Value on any date other than the end of
                  a Plan Year shall be determined by adding the prorated increase
                  attributable for the current Plan Year to the Account Value for
                  the
                  previous Plan Year.

                  non-monetary awards, and other fees, and automobile and other allowances
                  paid to the Executive for employment rendered (whether or not such
                  allowances are included in the Executive’s gross income).  Base
                  Annual Salary shall be calculated before reduction for compensation

                  all
                  qualified or non-qualified plans of the Corporation and shall be
                  calculated to include amounts not otherwise included in the Executive’s
                  gross income under Code Sections 125, 402(e)(3), 402(h), or 403(b)
                  pursuant to plans established by the Corporation; provided, however,
                  that
                  all such amounts will be included in compensation only to the extent
                  that
                  had there been no such plan, the amount would have been payable
                  in cash to
                  the Executive.

                  Executive for fifteen (15) years.

                Restriction

                  Agreement to the contrary, if the Executive is considered a Specified
                  Employee at Separation from Service under such procedures as established
                  by the Corporation in accordance with Section 409A of the Code,

                  distributions that are otherwise payable upon Separation from Service
                  may
                  not commence earlier than six (6) months after the date of
                  such Separation from Service.  Therefore, in the event
                  this Section 2.5 is applicable to the Executive, any distribution
                  which
                  would otherwise be paid to the Executive within the first six months
                  following the Separation from Service shall be accumulated and
                  paid to the
                  Executive in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following
                  the Separation from Service.  All subsequent distributions shall
                  be paid in the manner specified.

                  amount is required to be included in income by the Executive prior
                  to
                  receipt due to a failure of this Agreement to meet the requirements
                  of

                  Administrator shall distribute that portion of the amount the Corporation
                  has accrued with respect to the Corporation’s obligations hereunder that
                  is required to be included in the Executive’s income.  The
                  Corporation shall distribute to the Executive such amount in immediately
                  available funds in an amount equal to the portion of the amount
                  the

                  this Agreement to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and

                  Executive’s unpaid amount the Corporation has accrued with respect to the
                  Corporation’s obligations hereunder.  Such distribution shall be

                  determines
                  that the income inclusion described in this Section 2.6 is
                  required.  Such a distribution shall affect and reduce the

                  to
                  receive any benefit distributions under this Agreement upon the
                  death of

                  other plan of the Corporation in which the Executive participates.

                  Designation: Change.  The Executive shall designate a
                  Beneficiary by completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation
                  Form,
                  and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated
                  agent.  The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed
                  automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive
                  or if
                  the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is
                  subsequently dissolved.  The Executive shall have the right to
                  change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying
                  with
                  the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s
                  rules and procedures, as in effect from time to time.  Upon the
                  acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation
                  Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be
                  cancelled.  The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on
                  the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and
                  accepted
                  by the Plan Administrator prior to the Executive’s death.

                  designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be
                  effective
                  until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Plan
                  Administrator or its designated agent.

                No
                  Beneficiary

                  beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease
                  the
                  Executive, then the Executive’s spouse shall be the designated
                  Beneficiary.  If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the
                  benefits shall be made to the Executive’s estate.

                Facility
                  of
                  Distribution.  If the Plan Administrator determines in
                  its discretion that a benefit is to be distributed to a minor,
                  to a person
                  declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the
                  disposition
                  of that person’s property, the Plan Administrator may direct distribution
                  of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person
                  having the
                  care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable
                  person.  The Plan Administrator may require proof of
                  incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate
                  prior to
                  distribution of the benefit.  Any distribution of a benefit
                  shall be a distribution for the account of the Executive and the
                  Executive’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete
                  discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such distribution
                  amount.

                Claims
                  Procedure.  An Executive or Beneficiary (“claimant”) who
                  has not received benefits under the Agreement that he or she believes
                  should be distributed shall make a claim for such benefits as follows:

Written
                  Claim.  The claimant initiates a claim by submitting to
                  the Plan Administrator a written claim for the benefits.  If
                  such a claim relates to the contents of a notice received by the
                  claimant,
                  the claim must be made within sixty (60) days after such notice was
                  received by the claimant.  All other claims must be made within
                  one hundred eighty (180) days of the date on which the event that
                  caused the claim to arise occurred.  The claim must state with
                  particularity the determination desired by the claimant.

                Timing

                  Administrator Response.  The
                  Plan
                  Administrator shall respond to such claimant within ninety (90)
                  days after
                  receiving the claim (forty-five (45) days with respect to a denial
                  of any
                  claim for benefits due to the Executive’s Disability).  If the
                  Plan Administrator determines that special circumstances require
                  additional time for processing the claim, the Plan Administrator
                  can
                  extend the response period by an additional ninety (90) days (thirty
                  (30)
                  days with respect to a claim for benefits due to the Executive’s
                  Disability) by notifying the claimant in writing, prior to the
                  end of such
                  initial period, that an additional period is required.  With
                  respect to a claim for benefits due to the Executive’s Disability, an
                  additional extension of up to thirty (30) days beyond the initial
                  30-day
                  extension period may be required for processing the claim.  In
                  such event, written notice of the extension shall be furnished
                  to the
                  claimant within the initial 30-day extension period.  The notice
                  of extension must set forth the special circumstances and the date
                  by
                  which the Plan Administrator expects to render its decision.

      Notwithstanding
        the foregoing, the health care professional consulted pursuant to this Section

        denial of the claim that is the subject of the appeal or a subordinate of
        such

                  (45) days with respect to a claim for benefits due to the Executive’s
                  Disability) after receiving the request for review.  If the Plan
                  Administrator (or Appeals Fiduciary) determines that special circumstances
                  require additional time for processing the claim, the Plan Administrator
                  (or Appeals Fiduciary) can extend the response period by an additional
                  sixty (60) days (forty-five (45) days with respect to a claim for
                  benefits
                  due to the Executive’s Disability) by notifying the claimant in writing,

                  the
                  Corporation and the Executive.  However, the Corporation may
                  unilaterally amend this Agreement to conform to written directives
                  to the
                  Corporation from its auditors or banking regulators or to comply
                  with

                  of the

                  Generally.  The Corporation may unilaterally terminate
                  this Agreement at any time.  The benefit shall be the Account
                  Value as of the date the Agreement is terminated. Except as provided
                  in
                  Section 7.3, the termination of this Agreement shall not cause
                  a
                  distribution of benefits under this Agreement.  Rather, upon
                  such termination benefit distributions will be made at the earliest
                  distribution event permitted under Article 2 or Article
                  3.

                Tax
                  Withholding and
                  Reporting.  The Executive is responsible for payment of
                  all taxes applicable to benefits paid or provided to Executive
                  under this
                  Agreement, except the employer portion of applicable federal, state
                  and
                  local employment tax obligations.  The Corporation shall
                  withhold any taxes owed by the Executive that are required to be
                  withheld,
                  including federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding
                  obligations, from the benefits provided under this Agreement or
                  from any
                  other compensation otherwise payable to the Executive.  The
                  Executive acknowledges that the Corporation’s sole liability regarding
                  such withholding taxes is to forward any amounts withheld to the
                  appropriate taxing authority(ies).  The Executive agrees that
                  appropriate amounts for withholding may be deducted from the cash
                  salary,
                  bonus or other payments due to Executive by the Corporation, including
                  payments due under this Agreement.  If insufficient cash wages
                  are available or if Executive so desires, Executive may remit payment
                  in
                  cash for the withholding amounts.  In addition, the Corporation
                  shall be responsible for withholding and payment to appropriate
                  taxing
                  authority(ies) of all employment tax obligations required to be
                  paid and
                  withheld by the Corporation pursuant to Code Section 3121(v) and
                  regulations promulgated thereunder or any other applicable law
                  on the
                  present value of benefits hereunder which are vested but not yet
                  payable.  In that regard, payment under this Agreement may be
                  accelerated to pay the FICA tax imposed under Code Sections 3101,
                  3121(a),
                  and 3121(v)(2), where applicable, on benefits paid or provided
                  to
                  Executive under this Agreement (the “FICA Amount”) or to pay the income
                  tax at source on wages imposed under Code Section 3401 or the
                  corresponding withholding provisions of applicable state, local,
                  or
                  foreign tax laws as a result of the payment of the FICA Amount,
                  and to pay
                  the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the
                  pyramiding Code Section 3401 wages and taxes; provided that the
                  total
                  amount accelerated pursuant to this sentence may not exceed the
                  aggregate
                  of the FICA Amount and the income tax withholding related to such
                  FICA
                  Amount.  Withholding and payment of any taxes under this Section
                  9.4 shall reduce the amount of the benefits otherwise payable to
                  the
                  Executive.

                Unfunded
                  Arrangement.  The Executive and the Beneficiary are
                  general unsecured creditors of the Corporation for the distribution
                  of
                  benefits under this Agreement.  The benefits represent the mere
                  promise by the Corporation to distribute such benefits.  The
                  rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation,
                  alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment,
                  or garnishment by creditors.  Any insurance on the Executive’s
                  life or other informal funding asset is a general asset of the
                  Corporation
                  to which the Executive and Beneficiary have no preferred or secured
                  claim.

                  to
                  assume and discharge the obligations of the Corporation under this
                  Agreement.  Upon the occurrence of such event, the term
                  “Corporation” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the
                  successor or survivor entity.

                  Executive

                Interpretation.  Wherever

                  and
                  the context will permit, the use of the masculine gender includes

                  by this
                  Agreement, the Corporation or Plan Administrator may in its discretion
                  perform such alternative act as most nearly carries out the intent
                  and
                  purpose of this Agreement and is in the best interests of the Corporation,
                  provided that such alternative acts do not violate Section 409A

                Be
                  aware that none of the
                  contingent beneficiaries will receive anything unless ALL of the
                  primary
                  beneficiaries predecease
                  you.

              

      

      

      I
        understand that I may change these beneficiary designations by delivering
        a new
        written designation to the Plan Administrator, which shall be effective only
        upon receipt and acknowledgment by the Plan Administrator prior to my
        death.  I further understand that the designations will be
        automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases me, or, if I have named
        my
        spouse as Beneficiary and our marriage is subsequently dissolved.
