ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         The directors and officers of the Company are entitled
to indemnification in certain circumstances.  Such
indemnification arises from Article XIII of the Company's
Charter, separate indemnification agreements entered into
between the Company and the Bank and the directors, and the
Tennessee Business Corporation Act.  In addition, the Bank
currently maintains a directors and officers liability policy to
which the Company will become party.  These provisions and
contracts are described briefly below. 

ARTICLE XIII OF THE CHARTER

         Article XIII of the Company's Charter provides that
directors, officers, employees and agents may be indemnified in
certain circumstances against liability which they may incur in
their capacities.  Article XIII requires that the Company
indemnify any director who is made a party to any threatened,
pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative ("proceeding"),
because he is or was a director against liability incurred in
such proceeding as long as he conducted himself in good faith,
he reasonably believed, (i) in the case of conduct in his
official capacity with the Company, that his conduct was in the
Company's best interests and (ii) in all other cases, that his
conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and, in
the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause
to believe his conduct was unlawful.  The Company must also
indemnify any director and any officer who is not a director if
he was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the
defense of any proceedings to which he was a party because he is
or was a director or officer of the Company against reasonable
expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding. 
However, the Company may not indemnify a director in connection
with a proceeding by or in the right of the Company in which the
director was adjudged liable to the Company or in connection
with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to
him, whether or not involving action in his official capacity,
in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal
benefit was improperly received by him.

    Article XIII permits the Company to pay the reasonable
expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding
in advance of final disposition of the proceeding as long as:
(1) the director furnishes the Company a written affirmation of
his good faith belief that he has met the requisite standard of
conduct; (2) he provides the Company with a written undertaking
to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he is
not entitled to indemnification; and (3) a determination is made
based on the facts then known, that indemnification is
permissible.

    The Company may not indemnify a director unless authorized
in the specific case after a determination has been made that
indemnification of the director is permissible in the
circumstances because he has met the required standards.  The
determination must be made: (1)  by the board of directors by
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the
time parties to the proceeding; (2) if a quorum cannot be
obtained, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the
board of directors (in which designation directors who are
parties may participate), consisting solely of two or more
directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; (3) by
independent special legal counsel; or (4) by the shareholders,
but shares owned by or voted under the control of directors who
are at the time parties to the proceeding may not be voted on
the determination.

         The Company may indemnify and advance expenses to an
officer, employee or agent of the Company who is not a director
to the same extent as a director.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS

         The Company and the Bank have entered into written
indemnification agreements (the "Indemnification Agreements")
with each director of the Company and the Bank pursuant to which
the Company and the Bank will indemnify such individuals against
any and all expenses incurred by such individuals in connection
with any proceeding of any type to which such individual is made
or threatened to be made a party, as a result of or in
connection with any action or inaction on the part of a director
while the director was or is a director or while the director
was or is serving at the request of the Company or the Bank as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise.  Expenses covered by such agreements include,
without limitation, any judgment, amounts paid in settlement of
a proceeding, reasonable attorney's fees actually paid and
incurred in connection with a proceeding and reasonable
attorneys's fees, costs and expenses, if any, actually paid or
incurred in connection with a proceeding to enforce his rights
under the Indemnification Agreement.  The Indemnification
Agreements also provide for the prompt advancement of expenses
to the director in connection with investigating, defending or
being a witness in any proceeding.  The Indemnification
Agreements further provide a mechanism through which a director
may seek court relief in the event that the Company's or the
Bank's Board of Directors (or other person appointed by the
Board) determines that the directors would not be permitted to
be indemnified under applicable law.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>


         Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification may
be made under the Indemnification Agreements for any of the
following:  (i) any act or omission for which the Bank is
prohibited to provide indemnification under federal law; (ii) to
the extent indemnification is prohibited by applicable
regulation or order properly issued by the FDIC or OTS under
Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; (iii) to the
extent either the Bank or the Company has received a written
objection from the OTS to indemnification of the director, which
written objection is authorized by applicable law, regulation or
order relating specifically to indemnification, until such time
as it is permitted by the OTS; (iv) for any proceeding for which
the director is adjudged in a proceeding to be liable to the
Bank or the Company in the performance of his duty to the Bank,
the Company or their stockholders unless, and only to the extent
that, the court in which such proceeding is or was pending
determines that, in view of the circumstances, the director is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity; (v) proceedings or
claims initiated or brought voluntarily by the director and not
by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings brought to
establish or enforce a right to indemnification under the
Indemnification Agreement or any other statute or law unless
otherwise determined by the Board of Directors; and (vi) any
amounts which have been paid directly to the director by an
insurance carrier under a policy of directors' liability
insurance maintained by the Bank or the Company.

TENNESSEE BUSINESS CORPORATION ACT

    The Tennessee Business Corporation Act requires Tennessee
corporations such as the Company to indemnify a director who was
wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of
any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a
directors of the corporation against reasonable expenses
incurred by him, unless the corporation's charter provides
otherwise.  The Tennessee Business Corporation Act also
generally permits Tennessee corporations to indemnify directors
and officers in the same manner as Article XIII of the Company's
Charter provides.  In no event, however, may a Tennessee
corporation indemnify a director if a judgment or other final
adjudication adverse to the director establishes his liability:
(i) for any breach of the duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law; or (iii) for the approval of unlawful distributions.

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS LIABILITY INSURANCE

         Pursuant to its Charter and Tennessee law, the Company
is permitted to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an
individual who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent
of the Company.  The Bank currently maintains such a policy and
it is intended that the Company will become a party to such
policy.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

         Not Applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS

         For a list of all exhibits filed or included as part of
this Registration Statement, see "Index to Exhibits" at the end
of this Registration Statement.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

         1.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

              (a)  To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement --

                  (i)  To include any prospectus required by
     Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                  (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts
     or events arising after the effective date of the 
     registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
     amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
     represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
     in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
     offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
     would not exceed that which was registered) and any
     deviation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum
     offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
     filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
     the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
     more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
     offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
     Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
     statement; 
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

                  (iii)  To include any material information
     with respect to the plan of distribution not previously 
     disclosed in the registration statement or any material
     change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.

              (b)  That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933,  each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

              (c)  To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

              (d) If the registrant is a foreign private issuer,
to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement
to include any financial statements required by Rule 3-19 of
this chapter at the start of any delayed offering or throughout
a continuous offering.  Financial statements and information
otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be
furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the
prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial
statements required pursuant to this paragraph and other
information necessary to ensure that all other information in
the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those
financial statements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective
amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and
information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Rule 3-19
of this chapter if such financial statements and information are
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

         2.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         3.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to
deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each
person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest
annual report to security holders that is incorporated by
reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and
meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial
information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation
S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to
be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or
given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically
incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such
interim financial information.

         4.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnifi-
cation by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

               Form SB-2 Cumberland Mountain Bancshares, Inc.
               1993 Stock Option Plan

Dear Board Members:

     We have acted as special counsel to Cumberland Mountain
Bancshares, Inc., a Tennessee Corporation (the "Company"), in
connection with the preparation of the Post-Effective Amendment
No. 1 on Form S-8 to Form SB-2 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to shares of common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of the
Company which may be issued pursuant to the Cumberland Mountain
Bancshares, Inc. 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), all as
more fully described in the Registration Statement.  You have
requested the opinion of this firm with respect to certain legal
aspects of the proposed offering.

     We have examined such documents, records and matters of law
as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion and
based thereon, we are of the opinion that the Common Stock when
issued pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Plan
will be legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8 to
Form SB-2 and to references to our firm included under the
caption "Legal Opinion" in the Prospectus which is part of the

     4.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

     (a)  Composition of Committee.  The Plan shall be
administered by the Committee, which shall consist of not less
than two (2) Directors appointed by the Board.  All persons
designated as members of the Committee shall be "Non-Employee
Directors" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the General Rules
and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended ("Rule 16b-3").  Members of the Committee shall serve at
the pleasure of the Board.  In the absence at any time of a duly
appointed Committee, the Plan shall be administered by those
Directors who are "Non-Employee Directors" within the meaning of
Rule 16b-3.

     (b)  Powers of the Committee.  The Committee shall have
discretionary authority (but only to the extent not contrary to
the express provisions of the Plan or to resolutions adopted by
the Board) to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and
rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine
the form and content of Options to be issued under the Plan and
to make other determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan, and shall have and may exercise such
other power and authority as may be delegated to it by the Board
from time to time.  A majority of the entire Committee shall
constitute a quorum and the action of a majority of the members
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be
deemed the action of the Committee.

     (c)  Effect of Committee's Decision.  All decisions,
determinations and interpretations of the Committee shall be
final and conclusive on all persons affected thereby.

     5.   ELIGIBILITY.

     (a)  General Rule.  In its sole discretion, the Committee
may grant Options to Employees of the Company, or any present or
future Parent or Subsidiary.  Each nonemployee director shall be
granted Non-ISOs only in accordance with paragraph 11 hereof. 
An Optionee who has been granted an Option may, if otherwise
eligible, be granted an additional Option or Options.  However,
no Employee or Director shall have a right to be granted an
Option or, having received an option, the right to again be
granted an Option.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Employee
or non-employee Director shall receive Options in excess of the
OTS Award Limitations.


___________
(1)   Equal to 10% of the total number of shares of Common Stock
      sold in the formation of a mutual holding company by the
      Savings Bank.
                           -3-<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     (b)  Special Rules.  The aggregate fair market value
(determined in accordance with paragraph 7 hereof), as of the
date the Option is granted, of the Shares with respect to which
incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an
Employee during any calendar year (under all incentive stock
option plans, as defined in Section 422 of the Code, of the
Savings Bank or any present or future Parent or Subsidiary of
the Savings Bank) shall not exceed $100,000.  Notwithstanding
the prior provisions of this paragraph, the Committee may grant
Options in excess of the foregoing limitations, in which case
such Options granted in excess of such limitation shall be
Options which are not incentive stock options, as defined in
Section 422 of the Code, pursuant to Section 422(d) of the Code. 
Furthermore, in no event shall Shares subject to Options granted
to non-employee Directors under this Plan exceed in the
aggregate more than 20% of the total number of Shares authorized
(not to exceed the OTS Award Limitations) for issuance pursuant
to paragraph 3 hereof.

     6.   TERM OF PLAN; TERM OF OPTIONS.

     (a)  The Plan shall continue in effect for a term of ten
years from the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant
to paragraph 17 hereof.  No Option shall be granted under the
Plan after ten years from the Effective Date.

     (b)  The term of each Option granted under the Plan shall
be established by the Committee, but shall not exceed 10 years;
provided, however, that in the case of an Employee who owns
Shares representing more than 10% of the outstanding Common
Stock at the time the Option is granted, the term of such Option
shall not exceed five (5) years.

     7.   OPTION PRICE.

     (a)  The Option Price as to any particular Option granted
under the Plan shall not be less than the fair market value of
the Optioned Shares on the date of grant.  In the case of an
Employee who owns Shares representing more than 10% of the
Company's outstanding Shares of Common Stock at the time an ISO
is granted, the Option Price shall not be less than 110% of the
fair market value of the Optioned Shares at the time the ISO is
granted.

     (b)  Determination of Option Price.  If the Common Stock
is traded otherwise than on a national securities exchange at
the time of the granting of an Option, then the Option Price per
Share shall be not less than the mean between the bid and asked
price on the date the Option is granted or, if there is no bid
and asked price on said date, then on the next prior business
day on which there was a bid and asked price.  If no such bid
and asked price is available, then the Option Price per Share
shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole and absolute
discretion.  If the Common Stock is listed on a national
securities exchange (including the NASDAQ National Market
System) at the time of granting an Option, then the Option Price
per share shall be not less than the average of the highest and
lowest selling price on such exchange on the date such Option is
granted or if there were no sales on said date, then the Option
Price shall be not less than the mean between the bid and asked
price on such date.

                           -4-<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     (c)  Reissuance of Options.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the Committee shall have the authority
to cancel outstanding Options with the consent of the Optionee 
and to reissue new Options at a lower Option Price equal to the
then fair market value per share of Common Stock in the event
that the fair market value per share of Common Stock at any time
prior to the date of exercise of outstanding Options falls below
the Option Price of such Options; provided that the Option price
of the reissued Options shall in no event be less than 75% of
the Option Price of the Option when first issued.

     8.   EXERCISE OF OPTION.

     (a)  Procedure of Exercise.  Any Opinion granted
hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such
conditions as shall be permissible under the terms of the Plan
and of the Option granted to an Optionee.  An Option may not be
exercised for a fractional Share.

     An Optionee may exercise Options granted pursuant to the
Plan, subject to provisions relative to its termination and
limitations on its exercise, only by (1) written notice of
intent to exercise the Option with respect to a specified number
of Shares, and (2) payment to the Company (contemporaneously
with delivery of such notice) in cash, in Common Stock, or a
combination of cash and Common Stock, of the amount of the
Option Price for the number of Shares with respect to which the
Option is then being exercised.  Each such notice and payment
shall be delivered, or mailed by prepaid registered or certified
mail, addressed to the Treasurer of the Company at the Company's
executive offices.  Common Stock utilized in full or partial
payment of the Option Price shall be valued at its fair market
value at the date of exercise.

     (b)  Exercise During Employment or Following Death or
Disability.  Except as may be specifically provided for by the
terms of an Option as may be authorized by the Committee at the
time of such grant, an Option may be exercised by an Optionee
only while he is an Employee and has maintained Continuous
Status as an Employee since the date of the grant of the Option
or within three months after termination of status as an
Employee (but not later than the date on which the Option would
otherwise expire), except if the Savings Bank terminates his
Continuous Employment by reason of (1) "Just Cause" (which for
purposes hereof shall have the same meaning as defined in the
then existing employment agreement between the Optionee and the
Savings Bank or any of its Parent or Subsidiaries and, in the
absence of any such agreement, shall have the meaning defined in
12 C.F.R. Subsection 563.39(b)(1) as in effect on the Effective
Date), then the Optionee's rights to exercise such Option shall
expire on the date of such termination; (2) death, then to the
extent that the Optionee would have been entitled to exercise
the Option immediately prior to his death, such Option of the
deceased Optionee may be exercised within two years from the
date of his death (but not later than the date on which the
option would otherwise expire) by the personal representatives
of his estate or person or persons to whom his rights under such
Option shall have passed by will or by laws of descent and
distribution; or (3) Permanent and Total Disability (as such
term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), then to the
extent that the Optionee would have been entitled to exercise
the Option immediately prior to his Permanent and Total
Disability, such Option may be exercised within one year from
the date of such Permanent and Total Disability, but not later
than the date on which the Option would otherwise expire. 
Notwithstanding the provisions of any Option which provides for
its exercise in

                             -5-<PAGE>
<PAGE>
installments as designated by the Committee, such Option shall
become immediately exercisable upon death or Permanent and Total
Disability, as defined herein, of the Optionee.

     The Committee's determination whether an Optionee's
Continuous Employment has ceased, and the effective date thereof
shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected thereby.

     (c)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
no event shall any Option granted pursuant to the Plan be
exercisable for six months from the date of grant, except in the
event of the death, retirement or Permanent and Total Disability
of the Optionee.

     9.   CHANGE IN CONTROL.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of any Option which provides
for its exercise in installments as designated by the Committee,
such Option shall become immediately exercisable in the event of
a change in control (or immediately prior to the occurrence of a
change in control of the Bank or the Company if such change
would cause the Optionee's rights under the Option to be
extinguished for any reason).  At such time, the Optionee shall,
at the discretion of the Committee, be entitled to receive cash
in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the
Common Stock (determined in accordance with paragraph 7)
subject to such Option over the Option Price of such shares, in
exchange for the surrender of such Options by the Optionee.  A
"Change in Control" shall mean an event of a nature that: 
(I) would be required to be reported in response to Item I of
the current report on Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof,
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 ("Exchange Act"); or (II) results in a Change in Control
of the Bank or the Company within the meaning of the Home
Owners' Loan Act of 1933 and the Rules and Regulations
promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (or its
predecessor agency), as in effect on the date hereof; or (III)
without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to
have occurred at such time as (a) any "person" (as the term is
used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or
becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
securities of the Bank or the Company representing twenty
percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Bank's
or the Company's outstanding securities except for any
securities of the Company purchased by the Company's employee
stock ownership plan and trust; or (b) individuals who
constitute the Board of the Bank or the board of directors of
the Company on the date hereof ("Incumbent Board") cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; provided that
any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof
whose election was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters
of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose
nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was
approved by the same nominating committee serving under an
Incumbent Board, shall be, for purposes of this clause (b),
considered as though he were a member of the Incumbent Board; or
(c) the occurrence of a plan of reorganization, merger,
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all the assets of
the Bank or the Company or similar transaction in which the Bank
or the Company is not the resulting entity.  Provided, however,
that a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur as the
result of acquisitions of common stock of the Company by Messrs.
J. Roy Shoffner and James J. Shoffner.
                             -6-<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     10.  NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS.

     Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred or disposed of in any manner other than by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, or any other provision of this Plan, a
Participant who holds Awards may transfer such Awards (but not
ISOs) to his or her spouse, lineal ascendants, lineal
descendants, or to a duly established trust for the benefit of
one or more of these individuals.  Awards so transferred may
thereafter be transferred only to the Participant who originally
received the grant or to an individual or trust to whom the
Participant could have initially transferred the Awards pursuant
to this Paragraph 10.  Awards which are transferred pursuant to
this Paragraph 10 shall be exercisable by the transferee
according to the same terms and conditions as applied to the
Participant.

     11.  GRANTS FOR NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTORS.

     (a)  Grants to Nonemployee Directors.  Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Plan, each Director who is not an
Employee at the Effective Date shall receive on the Effective
Date, Options to purchase _____ (2) Shares of Common Stock (not
to exceed the OTS Award Limitations) at an Option Price equal to
the initial offering price of such Common Stock, and each
Director who is not an Employee and who first joins the Board
after the Effective Date shall receive, on the date he becomes a
Director, Options to purchase 100 Shares of Common Stock at an
Option Price equal to the then fair market value of such Common
Stock.

     (b)  Terms of Exercise.  Options received under the
provisions of this paragraph may be exercised by (i) written
notice of intent to exercise the Option with respect to a
specified number of Shares, and (ii) payment to the Company
(contemporaneously with the delivery of such notice) in cash, in
Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Common Stock, of the
amount of the Option Price for the number of Shares with respect
to which the Option is then being exercised.  Each such notice
and payment shall be delivered, or mailed by prepaid registered
or certified mail, addressed to the Treasurer of the Company at
the Company's executive offices.  A nonemployee Director who
exercises Options pursuant to this paragraph may satisfy all
applicable federal, state and local income and employment tax
withholding obligations, in whole or in part, by irrevocably
electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock, or
to deliver to the Company shares of Common Stock that he already
owns, having a value equal to the amount required to be
withheld; provided that to the extent not inconsistent herewith,
such election otherwise complies with those requirements or
Paragraphs 8(a) or 20 hereof.  Such Options may be exercised
only while the Optionee is a Director of the Company, or within
one year after termination of the Optionee's status as a
Director but not later than the date on which such Options would
otherwise expire, or in the event of such person's death during
the term of his directorship, by the personal representatives of
his estate or person or persons to whom his

____________
(2)   To be determined as follows: 20% of the aggregate number
      of Shares subject to the Plan, pursuant to paragraph 3,
      shall be divided in equal numbers between all Directors
      who are not Employees at the Effective Date.
                           -7-<PAGE>
<PAGE>
rights under such Option shall have passed by will or by laws of
descent and distribution.  Such Options of a deceased Director
may be exercised within two years from the date of his death,
but not later than the date on which the Option would otherwise
expire.  Unless otherwise inapplicable, or inconsistent with the
provisions of this paragraph, the Options to be granted to
Directors hereunder shall be subject to all other provisions of
this Plan.

     12.  EFFECT OF CHANGE IN COMMON SHARES SUBJECT TO THE
          PLAN.

     In the event that each of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (other than Shares held by dissenting shareholders) shall
be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of
shares of capital stock of the Company or of another corporation
(whether by reason or merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock dividend, split-up, combination of
shares, or otherwise), then there shall be substituted for each
Share of Common Stock then under Option or available for Option
the number and kind of shares of capital stock into which each
outstanding Share of Common Stock (other than Shares held by
dissenting stockholders) shall be so changed or for which each
such Share shall be so exchanged, together with an appropriate
adjustment of the Option Price.

     In the event there shall be any change in the number of,
or kind of, issued shares of Common Stock, or of any capital
stock or other securities into which such Common Stock shall
have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged,
then if the Committee shall, in its discretion, determine that
such change equitably requires an adjustment in the number, or
kind, or Option Price of Shares then subject to an Option or
available for Option, such adjustment shall be made by the Board
and shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

     13.  TIME OF GRANTING OPTIONS.

     The date of grant of an Option under the Plan shall, for
all purposes, be the date on which the Committee makes the
determination of granting such Option.  Notice of the
determination shall be given to each Optionee to whom an Option
is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such
grant.

     14.  EFFECTIVE DATE.

     The Plan shall become effective upon the effective date of
the formation of the Mutual Holding Company by the Savings Bank. 
Options may be granted prior to approval of the Plan by the
stockholders of the Savings Bank if the exercise of such Options
is subject to such stockholder approval of the Plan.  The Plan
shall continue in effect for a term of ten years from the
Effective Date, unless sooner terminated under paragraph 17
hereof.

     15.  APPROVAL BY STOCKHOLDERS.

     The Plan shall be approved by stockholders of the Savings
Bank within twelve (12) months before or after the Effective
Date.
                          -8-<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     16.  MODIFICATION OF OPTIONS.

     At any time, and from time to time, the Board may
authorize the Committee to direct execution of an instrument
providing for the modification of any outstanding Option,
provided no such modification, extension or renewal shall confer
on the holder of said Option any right or benefit which could
not be conferred on him by the grant or a new Option at such
time, or impair the Option without the consent of the holder of
the Option.

     17.  AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

     The Board may from time to time amend, modify or terminate
the Plan, except that no action of the Board may materially
increase (other than as provided in Paragraph 12) the maximum
number of Shares permitted to be optioned or become available
for the granting of Options under the Plan, materially increase
the benefits accruing to Optionees, or materially modify the
requirements for eligibility for participation in the Plan,
unless such action of the Board shall be subject to approval or
ratification by the stockholders of the Company.

     No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall,
without the consent of any affected Optionee, alter or impair
any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted
to such Optionee under the Plan.

     18.  CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

     Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued with respect to
any Option granted under the Plan unless the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant
provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, any applicable state securities law, and the
requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may
then be listed.

     The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any
regulatory body or authority deemed by the Company's counsel to
be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares
hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect
of the non-issuance or sale of such Shares.  As a condition to
the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person
exercising the Option to make such representations and
warranties as may be necessary to assure the availability of an
exemption from the registration requirements of federal and
state securities law.

     19.  RESERVATION OF SHARES.

     The Company, during the term of the Plan, will reserve and
keep available a number of Shares sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.
                       -9-<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     20.  WITHHOLDING TAX.

     The Company's obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock
upon exercise of Options, in whole or in part, shall be subject
to the Optionee's satisfaction of all applicable federal, state
and local income and employment tax withholding obligations. 
The Committee, in its discretion, may permit the Optionee to
satisfy the obligation, in whole or part, by irrevocably
electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock, or
to deliver to the Company shares of Common Stock that he already
owns, having a value equal to the amount required to be
withheld.  The value of shares to be withheld, or delivered to
the Company, shall be based on the fair market value of the
shares, as determined in accordance with procedures to be
established by the Committee, on the date the amount of tax to
be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date").  The
Optionee's election to have shares withheld, or delivered to the
Company, for this purpose will be subject to the following
restrictions:

     (1)  the election must be made prior to the Tax Date,

     (2)  the election must be irrevocable,

     (3)  the election will be subject to the disapproval of
     the Committee, and

     (4)  if an optionee is a person whose transactions in
     stock of the Company are subject to Section 16(b) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Plan is then
     intended to qualify under Rule 16b-3, such election may
     not be made within six months of the date the Option is
     granted and must be made during the period beginning on
