Executive officers are eligible to participate in all benefit plans maintained for the benefit of the Bank’s employees generally, such as the Bank’s health insurance program, the qualified pension plan, and the qualified employee savings (401(k)) plan. Executive officers may also be eligible to participate or receive benefits under a variety of other written plans and arrangements, which are included as exhibits to regulatory filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as required. The Bank pays the cost of providing certain additional benefits to executive officers, including: a car allowance or a Bank-supplied car; group life insurance coverage; tax preparation services; financial planning services; enhanced long-term disability coverage; and, in the case of executives who were participants in the Bank’s split-dollar life insurance program prior to July 2003, term life insurance coverage in an amount equal to the difference between the death benefit formerly provided to the executive under the split-dollar program less the death benefit currently provided under the fully paid-up life insurance policy currently maintained for his or her benefit.

Mr. Klein’s employment agreement provides him with certain benefits in addition to those described in this summary. A copy of his employment agreement is included as an exhibit to regulatory filings under the Exchange Act, as required.
