(a)           Dividends held in the Unallocated Reserve and on shares of Company Stock allocated to ESOP Accounts which were acquired with the proceeds of an Exempt Loan shall be applied as follows:

(1)           Dividends received on shares of Company Stock held in the Unallocated Reserve shall first be used to repay principal and interest then due on the Exempt Loan used to acquire such shares.  If the amount of such dividends exceeds the amount needed to repay such principal and interest, the excess shall be held in the Unallocated Reserve until it is needed to repay principal and interest due on such Exempt Loan or, with the prior concurrence of the Company, the excess may be (i) used to prepay principal on such Exempt Loan, or (ii) treated as a general investment gain of the Fund and allocated to the ESOP Accounts of Participants.  Any amounts allocated to ESOP Accounts as general investment gain shall be allocated in proportion to the number of shares held in said Accounts as of the last Valuation Date for the Plan Year for which they are allocated.  Any dividends so allocated shall not be considered an Annual Addition with respect to a Participant for purposes of Sec. 7.1.

(2)           If the amount necessary to repay principal and interest then due on the Exempt Loan exceeds the amount of dividends on shares acquired with the proceeds of the Exempt Loan that are held in the Unallocated Reserve, the remaining amount then due shall be repaid from dividends on shares of Company Stock allocated to ESOP Accounts that were acquired with the proceeds of the Exempt Loan and released from the Unallocated Reserve.  To the extent dividends on such allocated shares exceed the amount necessary to repay principal and interest then due on the Exempt Loan, they may with the prior concurrence of the Company be used to prepay principal on the Exempt Loan.  Dividends remaining after such payments shall be allocated to the ESOP Accounts holding the shares on which the dividends were paid.

(b)           Dividends on any other shares of Company Stock allocated to ESOP Accounts shall be invested in Company Stock acquired in accordance with Section 10.1(f).  Such Company Stock shall be allocated to the ESOP Account holding the shares on which the dividends were paid.

(c)           The Trustee shall maintain records which will permit it to determine the dividends and shares subject to Section 6.4(a) and 6.4(b).
