The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company,
effective as of January 1, 1993, and is intended to be a tax-qualified plan
under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Plan is
administered by the ESOP Committee ("Committee") of CFS Bank ("Bank") which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Committee currently consists of
three directors of the Bank and the assets of the Plan are held in a trust
("Trust") for which Chase Manhattan 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 in 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 dispositive power over Common Stock held under the Plan
since, pursuant to the Plan Document and Trust Agreement, the
- --------
(1) This number reflects the unallocated shares held in the ESOP. All allocated
ESOP shares have pass-through voting. In the event that a participant does not
direct his/her vote, those shares would be voted in proportion to the directions
received, in the same manner as the unallocated shares are voted, and the
Trustee would be deemed to have voting power over such shares.

Committee can direct the Trustee to purchase or sell shares of Common Stock if
it considers such action to be in the best interests of the Participants.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee is required to vote or deliver, or to
assert dissenters' rights with respect to, all unallocated Common Stock in a
manner determined by the Trustee to be in the best interests of Participants and
their beneficiaries. As of December 31, 1998, of the 664,116 shares of Common
Stock held by the Plan, 358,306 were allocated to the accounts of Participants.
ITEM 5
OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS: Not applicable.
ITEM 6
OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON:
Dividends declared on Common Stock held by the Plan that 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 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 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.
