                  The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of Jamaica
Savings Bank FSB ("Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, effective
as of January 1, 1990, was amended and restated as of January 1, 1995, and is
intended to be a tax-qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The
Plan is administered by the Personnel Benefits Committee ("Committee") of the
Bank. The Committee currently consists of four officers of the Bank, and the
assets of the Plan are held in a trust ("Trust") for which Marine Midland Bank
serves as trustee ("Trustee").

                  Pursuant to the written plan document governing the Plan
("Plan Document"), each Participant in the Plan ("Participant") is entitled to
direct the Trustee as to the manner in which Common Stock held by the Plan and
allocated to his or her account is voted on all matters on which shareholders of
the Company may vote. Any unallocated Common Stock is generally required to be
voted by the Trustee in the same proportion as Common Stock which has been
allocated to Participants is directed to be voted. Each Participant also has the
right to direct whether Common Stock held by the Plan and allocated to his or
her account should be delivered by the Trustee in response to a tender offer
made to holders of Common Stock and to direct the assertion of dissenters'
rights with respect to any matter in which holders of Common Stock have the
right to assert such rights. Any unallocated Common Stock is generally required
to be delivered by the Trustee in response to a tender offer, and dissenters'
rights with respect to such unallocated Common Stock are required to be
asserted, in the same proportion as Common Stock which has been allocated to
Participants. The Committee shares with the Trustee dispositive power over
Common Stock held under the Plan as, pursuant to the Plan Document and Trust
Agreement, the Committee can direct the Trustee to purchase or sell shares of
Common Stock if the Committee considers such action to be in the interests of
the Participants. As of December 31, 1996, 1,026,696 shares of Common Stock had
been allocated to Participant accounts, and 17,626 shares of unallocated Common
Stock were held by the Plan.

                  Dividends declared on Common Stock held by the Plan which have
been allocated to the account of a Participant are allocated to the account of
such Participant. Such dividends may be held and invested in the same manner as
funds generally held or invested by the Plan which are not invested in Common
Stock or distributed to Participants in accordance with and at such time as
provided in the Plan Document. Participants may receive, or direct the receipt
of, proceeds of the sale of Common Stock held by the Plan and allocated to their
accounts to the extent they have become vested in such Common Stock and at such
times as provided in the Plan Document. No Participant has the right to receive
or the power to direct the receipt of dividends on, or the proceeds of the sale
of, more than 5% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date
hereof.

vote. Any unallocated Common Stock is generally required to be voted in the same
proportion as Common Stock which has been allocated to Participants is directed
to be voted. Each Participant also has the right to direct whether Common Stock
held by the Plan and allocated to his or her account should be delivered in
response to a tender offer made to holders of Common Stock and to direct the
assertion of dissenters' rights with respect to any matter in which holders of
Common Stock have the right to assert such rights. Any unallocated Common Stock
is generally required to be delivered in response to a tender offer, and
dissenters' rights with respect to such unallocated Common Stock are required to
be asserted, in the same proportion as Common Stock which has been allocated to
Participants. The Trustee shares with the Committee dispositive power over
Common Stock held under the Plan as, pursuant to the Plan Document and Trust
Agreement, the Committee can direct the
