                                 IBS FINANCIAL CORP.
                            EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN


    BY THIS AGREEMENT, the IBS Financial Corp. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(herein referred to as the "Plan") is hereby amended as follows, effective as of
January 1, 1996;

    1.   Section 4.4(b) of the Plan is amended and restated to read as follows:

    The Employer shall provide the Administrator with all information required
by the Administrator to make a proper allocation of the Employer's contributions
for each Plan Year.  Within a reasonable period of time after the date of
receipt by the Administrator of such information, the Administrator shall
allocate such contribution as follows:

    (1)  With respect to the Employer's Elective Contribution made pursuant to
    Section 4.1(a), to each Participant's Elective Account in an amount equal
    to each such Participant's Deferred Compensation for the year.

    (2)  With respect to the Employer's Non-Elective Contribution made pursuant
    to Section 4.1(b), to each Participant's Account in accordance with Section
    4.1(b).

    Only Participants who have completed a Year of Service during the Plan Year
    shall be eligible to share in the matching contribution for the year.

    (3)  With respect to the Employer's Qualified Non-Elective Contribution
    made pursuant to Section 4.1(c), to each Participant's Elective Account in
    accordance with Section 4.1(c).

    Only Non-Highly Compensated Participants and Non-Key Employees who have
    completed a Year of Service during the Plan Year shall be eligible to share
    in the Qualified Non-Elective Contribution for the year.

    (4)  With respect to the Employer's Non-Elective Contribution made pursuant
    to Section 4.1(d), to each Participant's Account in the same proportion
    that each such Participant's Compensation for the year bears to the total
    Compensation of all Participants for such year.

    Only Participants who have completed a Year of Service during the Plan Year
    shall be eligible to share in the discretionary contribution for the year.



    2.   Section 4.4(j) is hereby deleted in its entirety.

    3.   Section 4.4(m) of the Plan is amended and restated to read as follows:

         For any Top Heavy Plan Year, the minimum allocations set forth above
         shall be allocated to the Participant's Combined Account of all
         Non-Key Employees who are Participants, including Non-Key Employees
         who have (1) failed to complete a Year of Service; and (2) declined to
         make mandatory contributions (if required) or, in the case of a cash
         or deferred arrangement, elective contributions to the Plan.

    4.   Section 4.4(r)(1) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

         The group of Participants eligible to share in the Employer's
         contribution and Forfeitures for the Plan Year shall be expanded to
         include the minimum number of Participants who would not otherwise be
         eligible as are necessary to satisfy the applicable test specified
         above.  The specific Participants who shall become eligible under the
         terms of this paragraph shall be those Participants who, when compared
         to similarly situated Participants, have completed the greatest number
         of Hours of Service in the Plan Year.

    5.   Section 4.4(r)(2) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

         If after application of paragraph (1) above, the applicable test is
         still not satisfied, then the group of Participants eligible to share
         in the Employer's contribution and Forfeitures for the Plan Year shall
         be further expanded to include the minimum number of Participants as
         are necessary to satisfy the applicable test.  The specific
         Participants who shall become eligible to share shall be those
         Participants, when compared to similarly situated Participants, who
         have completed the greatest number of Hours of Service in the Plan
         Year before terminating employment.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Amendment has been executed this 19th day of
January, 1996.
