All calculations leading to the computation of the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit for each of such years shall be based upon the results reported in the Bank's TFRs for each such 12-month period. No Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit shall be calculated or payable with respect to any period less than a full 12-month fiscal year. 2. As promptly as possible after the filing of the TFR for the Bank's fiscal years ending June 30, 2004 and 2005, as the case may be, but in no event later than 30 days after such filing, the Bank shall (i) determine the Executive's eligibility for the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit, (ii) calculate the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit in accordance with this Agreement, and (iii) report the results of such calculation to Executive and the board of directors of the Bank.

On the date that the Executive and the Bank mutually agree on the calculation of the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit (the "Determination Date"), the Executive shall have a right to the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit as provided in this Agreement. 3. As a condition precedent to Executive's eligibility for the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit with respect to the 2004 and 2005 fiscal years, the Bank shall have achieved the 2004 Asset Target for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004, and the Bank shall have achieved the 2005 Asset Target for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. 18 4. Provided that the Bank shall have achieved the applicable Asset Target and subject to the provisions of Paragraph C.3, below, governing the payment and crediting, as the case may be, of the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit, the Bank shall provide to Executive the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit in an amount equal to the product of multiplying: (1) the Bonus Percentage for which the Executive is eligible for such fiscal year, based on the Bank's Return on Assets Before Income Taxes, as derived from the Bonus Calculation Table, times (2) Executive's rate of annual salary payable as of the end of such fiscal year. 5. The following is an example only of the calculation of the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit. Assume: that the Bank has achieved the applicable Asset Target. Net Income Before Income Taxes (from TFR) $ 4,600,000 Adjustments: Add/Increase: General Reserves $ 300,000 Accrued Expense for Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit $ 60,000 Tax Preferred Income "gross up" $ 70,000 Subtract/Reduce: Specific Reserves/Charge-Offs $ (20,000) Adjusted Net Income $ 5,010,000 ============ Average Asset Balance $405,000,000 ============ Return on Assets Before Taxes: Adjusted Net Income / Average Asset Balance = $ 5,010,000 = 1.237% ------------- $ 405,000,000
Bonus Percentage based on 1.237% Return on Average Assets = 0.10 (from Bonus Calculation Table) Calculation of Bonus (assuming at end of fiscal year, Executive's rate of annual salary is $171,000 per annum): Bonus Percentage X Executive's Annual Salary = Bonus 0.10 X $171,000 = $17,100 ======= 19 C. Payment and Crediting of Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit 1. Within thirty days of the Determination Date, the Bank shall provide to Executive the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and subject to the Deferred Comp Plan. 2. As of each Determination Date, Executive is entitled to receive no more than one-half of the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit in cash (the "Cash Portion") and at least one-half of the Pre-Tax Net Income Benefit in the form of a credit to Executive's Account (as such term is defined under the Deferred Comp Plan)("Executive's Account. In accordance with the requirements of the Deferred Comp Plan, Executive shall make in a timely manner any and all elections with respect to the Deferred Comp Plan, including, but not limited to, elections with respect to the deferral of compensation. 3. Within 30 days of the Determination Date, the Bank shall pay the Cash Portion, if any, to Executive in cash, subject to any withholding required by law. 4. The Deferred Portion shall be credited to Executive's Account effective on July 1 of the year closest to the calculation date of the specific Pre Tax Net Income Benefit. Installments vest annually over 3 years on July 1, and annually on July 1 thereafter until fully vested as provide in the deferred compensation plan. 5. If this Agreement is terminated by Executive pursuant to Paragraph F.2.(b) or by the Bank for cause (other than due to Executive's death or disability) pursuant to Paragraph F.1, Executive shall be entitled only to that part of the Deferred Portion that has been vested prior to the Date of Termination. 6.
