During 1998, the Bank compensated its directors at the rate of $3,800
per year and $400 per regular board meeting attended, except that the
-3-
<PAGE>
Chairman of the Board was paid $500 per meeting attended. Directors who
were not executive officers of the Corporation or the Bank also received
$125 per committee meeting attended. The Corporation has entered into
deferred compensation agreements with some of its directors under which
payments will be made to the directors after their retirement.
Effective January 1, 1997, the Bank entered into Executive Employee
Salary Continuation Agreements (the "Agreements") with each of the named
executive officers. Under the Agreements, an executive officer is eligible
to receive payment of a monthly retirement benefit from the Bank for 180
months following normal retirement date (age 65). An executive officer may
retire early, after age 60, and receive a reduced benefit, or retire after
age 65 and receive an increased benefit. If an executive officer
terminates employment prior to early retirement, a vested benefit is
payable. Vesting is based on five years of employment commencing January
1, 1997, with 100% vesting given upon death, disability or other
involuntary termination of employment for reasons other than "cause." If a
named executive officer dies before receiving the entire benefit, remaining
payments will be made to a beneficiary. If the officer is terminated prior
to early retirement, without "cause" but following a "change in control" of
the Bank (as these terms are defined in the Agreements), the officer named
will receive the vested benefit plus payment of one year's salary. The
monthly normal retirement benefit for each executive officer is $3,275 for
Mr. Edgar, $758 for Mr. McHugh, and $1,825 for Mr. Hansen.
Effective January 13, 1998, Mr. Edgar and Mr. McHugh have employment
agreements with the Corporation under which Mr. Edgar serves as President
and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. McHugh serves as Secretary, Treasurer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the Corporation and the Bank. Mr. Edgar's
agreement provides for a minimum annual salary of $116,761, or any
increased amount authorized by the Board of Directors, and Mr. McHugh's
agreement provides for a minimum annual salary of $80,340, or any increased
amount authorized by the Board of Directors. Both agreements provide for
annual salary reviews and bonuses in the discretion of the Board of
Directors. Both agreements provide that if the Corporation terminates the
executive's employment other than for "cause" or due to the executive's
extended "disability" (as those terms are defined in the agreements), or if
the executive terminates the employment for "good reason" (as defined in
the agreements), the executive will be entitled to severance pay consisting
of continuation of his salary and benefits for the remaining term of the
his agreement. Severance pay would be reduced by the amount of any
disability benefits received by the executive (other than benefits under a
specifically identified disability insurance policy) and would also be
reduced as much as necessary to avoid any part of the executive's
compensation from the Corporation being classified as "excess parachute
payments" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. Severance pay
is subject to discontinuance if the executive materially competes with the
-4-
<PAGE>
Corporation. The term of Mr. Edgar's agreement is five years and extended
one year on each anniversary of the effective date unless the Board of
Directors gives written notice of its intention not to extend the term.
The term of Mr. McHugh's agreement is five years.
Ronald L. Hansen has an employment agreement with the Corporation.
Under this agreement, Mr. Hansen is to serve the Corporation and the Bank
in his present capacity for an annual salary of $70,000 and discretionary
bonuses to be determined by the board of directors of the Corporation. Mr.
Hansen's salary is reviewed at least annually by the board of directors and
may be increased, but not decreased. Upon termination of his employment
agreement by the Corporation without "cause" or by Mr. Hansen for "good
reason" before a "change in control" of the Corporation (as these terms are
defined in the agreements), Mr. Hansen is entitled to his salary and
benefits, as if termination of his employment had not occurred, through
June 30, 2001. If such termination occurs after a change in control, Mr.
Hansen is entitled to his salary and benefits, as if termination of his
employment had not occurred, until the later of (i) June 30, 2001, or (ii)
three years after the change in control; provided that the amount of salary
and benefits continuation attributable to the period beyond June 30, 2001,
will be subject to a reduction to the extent of any portion of that amount
that constitutes an "excess parachute payment" (as that term is defined in
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).
