      of the  Company,  as  determined  by the  Plan  Administrator  in its sole

      addition,  the Plan  Administrator  shall establish from time to time such
      other enrollment  requirements as it determines in its sole discretion are
      necessary. However, for employees who are selected to receive an Incentive
      Award(s) but do not elect to defer  Compensation or such Incentive  Awards
      under the Deferral provisions of the Plan, a Participation Agreement shall

      to participate in the Plan has met all enrollment  requirements  set forth

      period,  that employee  shall  commence  participation  in the Plan on the

      fails  to meet  all such  requirements  within  the  period  required,  in
      accordance  with  Section  2.2,  that  employee  shall not be  eligible to
      participate in the Plan until the first day of the Plan Year following the
      delivery  to and  acceptance  by the Plan  Administrator  of the  required

      determines  in good  faith that a  Participant  no longer  qualifies  as a
      member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as
      membership in such group is determined in accordance with Sections 201(2),
      301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA,  the Plan  Administrator  shall have the
      right, in its sole discretion,  to (i) terminate any deferral election the
      Participant  has made for the  remainder  of the  Plan  Year in which  the
      Participant's membership status changes, (ii) prevent the Participant from
      making future deferral  elections and/or (iii) immediately  distribute the
      Participant's then vested Deferral Account and terminate the Participant's

                                    Article 3
                                 Incentive Award

3.1   Determination of Incentive Award. The Annual Incentive Award will be based
      on Earnings per Share of the Company, the Return on Assets of the Company,
      and  Return on Equity of the  Company.  Each Plan Year the  Company  shall
      determine the Incentive Award amount using the following formula:

      1.    Earnings per Share.  The Company  shall  calculate  the Earnings per
            Share portion of the Incentive Award as follows:

            a.    Calculate the Earnings per Share for the current Plan Year

            b.    Determine  the  Earnings per Share for the five (5) highest of
                  the past ten (10) Plan Years

            c.    Calculate percent (a divided by b)

      2.    Return on Assets.  The Company shall  calculate the Return on Assets
            portion of the Incentive Award as follows:

            a.    Calculate Return on Assets for the current Plan Year

            b.    Determine  Return on Assets  for the five (5)  highest  of the
                  past ten (10) Plan Years

            c.    Calculate percent (a divided by b)

      3.    Return on Equity.  The Company shall  calculate the Return on Equity
            portion of the Incentive Award as follows:

            a.    Calculate Return on Equity for the current Plan Year

            b.    Determine  Return on Equity  for the five (5)  highest  of the
                  past ten (10) Plan Years

            c.    Calculate percent (a divided by b)

      4.    Determination of Incentive Award.  Using the percentages  calculated
            in steps one (1) through  three (3) above,  determine  the Incentive
            Award  percentages  by  referring  to Exhibit  A. If the  percentage
            achieved  falls  between  the  tiers  as  shown  on  Exhibit  A, the
            Incentive  Award will be determined by  interpolation.  Also, if the
            current  Plan  Year's  performance  on any of the three  performance
            measures  falls  below  ninety  percent  (90%)  of  the  target,  no
            Incentive Award is earned for that measure.

      5.    Calculation of Incentive  Award and Example.  The Incentive Award is
            equal to the sum of the  percentages  determined  in number four (4)
            above, multiplied by the Participant's  Compensation for the current
            Plan Year.


                                       6


      The following  example  illustrates the calculation of the Incentive Award
(at a 20% target incentive level):

                                                                                             ----------

         Step 3:

3.2   Incentive  Award Payout.  By March 31 of each Plan Year, the Company shall
      calculate and pay the Incentive Award to the Participant.  The Participant
      shall have the option to defer the Incentive Award into a Deferral Account
      that the Company has  established  in  accordance  with  Article 4. Unless
      otherwise  applicable  in  Section  3.3,  the  Participant  needs to be an
      employee  of the Company at the time of payout  under this  Section 3.2 to
      receive an Incentive Award.

3.3   Incentive Award Eligibility.  New Participants must be employed by October
      1 of a Plan Year to be  eligible  to receive  that Plan  Year's  Incentive
      Award.  New  Participants  who are employed  prior to October 1, but after
      January 1 will receive prorated  Incentive Awards based on hours worked in
      such partial Plan Year. A minimal individual  performance rating of "meets
      expectations" or similar  equivalent is required for  participation.  If a
      Participant  changes his role or is promoted during the Plan Year, he will
      be eligible for the new role's target Incentive Award opportunity on a pro
      rata basis.

3.3.1 Death.  In the event of death,  the Company will pay to the  Participant's
      Beneficiary  the pro rata  portion  of the  Incentive  Award that had been
      earned by the Participant.

3.3.2 Disability.  If a Participant  has a Termination of Employment as a result
      of a Disability,  the Participant will receive the pro rata portion of the
      Incentive  Award based on hours actually worked in such partial Plan Year.
      If a  Participant  remains an employee of the Company and has a Disability
      which results in receipt of long-term disability  benefits,  the Incentive
      Award for such  Disability  period shall be prorated  during affected Plan
      Years so that no  Incentive  Award will be earned  during  such  period of
      long-term Disability.

3.3.3 Retirement.  Participants who retire will only receive Incentive Awards if
      they are actively employed on December 31st of such Plan Year.

      statement setting forth the Deferral Account balance.

4.3   Accounting  Device  Only.  The  Deferral  Account  is solely a device  for
      measuring  amounts to be paid under this Plan. The Deferral Account is not
      a trust fund of any kind. The Participant is a general unsecured  creditor
      of the Company for the payment of  benefits.  The benefits  represent  the
      mere Company promise to pay such benefits.  The  Participant's  rights are
      not subject in any manner to  anticipation,  alienation,  sale,  transfer,
      assignment,  pledge,  encumbrance,   attachment,  or  garnishment  by  the
      Participant's creditors.

            elected by the Participant on the Election Form.

                                    Article 6
                                 Death Benefits

6.1   Death  During  Active  Service.  If  the  Participant  dies  while  in the

                                       9

                                    Article 7
                                  Beneficiaries

7.1   Beneficiary.  Each  Participant  shall  have the  right,  at any time,  to
      designate a  Beneficiary(ies)  to receive any benefits  payable  under the
      Plan to a beneficiary  upon the death of a  Participant.  The  Beneficiary
      designated  under  this  Plan  may be the  same as or  different  from the
      Beneficiary  designation  under any other plan of the Company in which the
      Participant participates.

7.2   Beneficiary  Designation;  Change;  Spousal Consent.  A Participant  shall
      designate  a  Beneficiary  by  completing  and  signing  the   Beneficiary
      Designation  Form,  and  delivering  it to the Plan  Administrator  or its
      designated  agent. If the Participant  names someone other than his or her
      spouse as a Beneficiary,  a spousal consent, in the form designated by the
      Plan  Administrator,  must be  signed  by that  Participant's  spouse  and
      returned  to  the  Plan  Administrator.   The  Participant's   beneficiary
      designation  shall be  deemed  automatically  revoked  if the  beneficiary
      predeceases  the  Participant  or if the  Participant  names a  spouse  as
      beneficiary  and the marriage is  subsequently  dissolved.  A  Participant
      shall have the right to change a Beneficiary  by  completing,  signing and
      otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and
      the Plan Administrator's  rules and procedures,  as in effect from time to
      time. Upon the acceptance by the Plan  Administrator  of a new Beneficiary
      Designation Form, all Beneficiary  designations  previously filed shall be
      cancelled.  The Plan  Administrator  shall be entitled to rely on the last
      Beneficiary  Designation Form filed by the Participant and accepted by the
      Plan Administrator prior to the Participant's death.

7.3   Acknowledgment.  No  designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary
      shall be effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by
      the Plan Administrator or its designated agent.

7.4   No  Beneficiary  Designation.  If the  Participant  dies  without  a valid
      beneficiary designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the
      Participant,  then  the  Participant's  spouse  shall  be  the  designated
      Beneficiary.  If the  Participant  has no surviving  spouse,  the benefits
      shall be made to the personal representative of the Participant's estate.

7.5   Facility  of  Payment.  If  the  Plan  Administrator   determines  in  its
      discretion  that a benefit is to be paid to a minor,  to a person declared
      incompetent,  or to a person incapable of


                                       10


      handling the disposition of that person's property, the Plan Administrator
      may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian,  legal  representative
      or person having the care or custody of such minor,  incompetent person or
      incapable   person.   The  Plan   Administrator   may  require   proof  of
      incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to
      distribution  of the benefit.  Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment
      for the account of the  Participant and the  Beneficiary,  as the case may
      be, and shall be a complete  discharge of any liability under the Plan for
      such payment amount.

                               General Limitations

8.1   Termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding  any provision of this Plan to the
      contrary, the Company shall not pay any benefit under this Plan that is in
      excess of the  Participant's  Deferrals  (i.e., the interest earned on the
      Deferral  Account) if the Board  terminates the  Participant's  employment
      for:

      (a)   Gross negligence or gross neglect of duties to the Company;

      (b)   Commission  of a felony or of a gross  misdemeanor  involving  moral
            turpitude in connection with the  Participant's  employment with the
            Company;

      (c)   Fraud,  disloyalty,  dishonesty  or willful  violation of any law or
            significant   Company  policy   committed  in  connection  with  the
            Participant's  employment  and resulting in an adverse effect on the
            Company; or

      (d)   If the  Participant  is  subject to a final  removal or  prohibition
            order issued by an appropriate  federal  banking agency  pursuant to
            Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA")

      Administrator  which  shall  consist of the Board,  or such  committee  or

      have the  discretion  and  authority  to (i) make,  amend,  interpret  and
      enforce all appropriate  rules and regulations for the  administration  of
      this  Plan and (ii)  decide or  resolve  any and all  questions  including
      interpretations of this Plan, as may arise in connection with the Plan.

9.2   Agents.  In the  administration  of this Plan, the Plan  Administrator may
      employ agents and delegate to them such  administrative  duties as it sees
      fit, (including acting through a duly appointed  representative),  and may
      from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to the Company.

      Administrator with respect to any question arising out of or in connection
      with the  administration,  interpretation  and application of the Plan and
      the  rules  and  regulations  promulgated  hereunder  shall be  final  and
      conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Plan.

9.4   Indemnity of Plan  Administrator.  The Company  shall  indemnify  and hold
      harmless the members of the Plan Administrator against any and all claims,
      losses,  damages,  expenses  or  liabilities  arising  from any  action or
      failure to act with  respect  to this Plan,  except in the case of willful
      misconduct by the Plan Administrator or any of its members.

9.5   Company  Information.  To enable the Plan  Administrator  to  perform  its
      functions,  the Company  shall supply full and timely  information  to the
      Plan  Administrator  on all matters  relating to the  Compensation  of its
      Participants,  the date and  circumstances of the retirement,  Disability,
      death or  Termination  of Employment of its  Participants,  and such other
      pertinent information as the Plan Administrator may reasonably require.

                          Claims and Review Procedures

10.1  Claims  Procedure.  A Participant or Beneficiary  ("claimant") who has not
      received  benefits  under the Plan that he or she believes  should be paid
      shall make a claim for such benefits as follows:

      10.1.1      Initiation - Written Claim. The claimant  initiates a claim by

                  claimant  within 90 days after  receiving  the  claim.  If the
                  Company   determines   that  special   circumstances   require
                  additional  time for  processing  the claim,  the  Company can
                  extend  the  response  period  by an  additional  90  days  by
                  notifying  the  claimant in  writing,  prior to the end of the
                  initial 90-day period,  that an additional period is required.
                  The   notice  of   extension   must  set  forth  the   special
                  circumstances  and the date by which the  Company  expects  to
                  render its decision.

      10.1.3      Notice of Decision.  If the Company  denies part or all of the
                  claim,  the Company  shall  notify the  claimant in writing of
                  such denial.  The Company  shall write the  notification  in a
                  manner  calculated  to be  understood  by  the  claimant.  The
                  notification shall set forth:

                  (a)   The specific reasons for the denial,

                  (b)   A reference  to the specific  provisions  of the Plan on
                        which the denial is based,

                  (c)   A description of any additional  information or material
                        necessary  for the  claimant to perfect the claim and an
                        explanation of why it is needed,

                  (d)   An explanation  of the Plan's review  procedures and the
                        time limits applicable to such procedures, and


                                       12


                  (e)   A  statement  of the  claimant's  right to bring a civil
                        action under ERISA Section  502(a)  following an adverse
                        benefit determination on review.

10.2  Review  Procedure.  If the Company  denies  part or all of the claim,  the
      claimant  shall  have the  opportunity  for a full and fair  review by the
      Company of the denial, as follows:

      10.2.1      Initiation  - Written  Request.  To initiate  the review,  the
                  claimant,  within 60 days after receiving the Company's notice
                  of denial,  must file with the  Company a written  request for
                  review.

      10.2.2      Additional  Submissions  -  Information  Access.  The claimant
                  shall then have the  opportunity to submit  written  comments,
                  documents,  records  and  other  information  relating  to the
                  claim.  The  Company  shall also  provide the  claimant,  upon
                  request and free of charge,  reasonable  access to, and copies
                  of, all documents,  records and other information relevant (as
                  defined in applicable  ERISA  regulations)  to the  claimant's
                  claim for benefits.

      10.2.3      Considerations  on Review.  In  considering  the  review,  the
                  Company shall take into account all materials and  information
                  the claimant submits relating to the claim,  without regard to
                  whether such  information  was  submitted or considered in the
                  initial benefit determination.

      10.2.4      Timing of  Company  Response.  The  Company  shall  respond in
                  writing to such  claimant  within 60 days after  receiving the
                  request for review.  If the Company  determines  that  special
                  circumstances  require  additional  time  for  processing  the
                  claim,  the  Company  can  extend  the  response  period by an
                  additional 60 days by notifying the claimant in writing, prior
                  to the end of the initial  60-day  period,  that an additional
                  period is required. The notice of extension must set forth the
                  special  circumstances  and the  date  by  which  the  Company
                  expects to render its decision.

      10.2.5      Notice of Decision. The Company shall notify the claimant in
                  writing of its decision on review. The Company shall write the
                  notification in a manner calculated to be understood by the
                  claimant. The notification shall set forth:

                  (a)   The specific reasons for the denial,

                  (b)   A reference  to the specific  provisions  of the Plan on
                        which the denial is based,

                  (c)   A  statement  that the  claimant is entitled to receive,
                        upon request and free of charge,  reasonable  access to,
                        and  copies  of,  all   documents,   records  and  other
                        information  relevant  (as defined in  applicable  ERISA
                        regulations) to the claimant's claim for benefits, and

                  (d)   A  statement  of the  claimant's  right to bring a civil
                        action under ERISA Section 502(a).

                                   Article 11
                           Amendments and Termination

11.1  Termination.  The Company  reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any
      time with respect to any or all of its participating  employees, by action
      of its  Board.  Upon  the  termination  of  the  Plan,  the  Participation
      Agreements of the affected  Participants  shall terminate and their vested
      Deferral  Account  balances  shall  be  determined  (i)  as  if  they  had
      experienced Early Termination on the date of Plan termination;  or (ii) if
      Plan termination occurs after a Participant's  Normal Retirement Age, then
      with respect to that  Participant  as if he or she had retired on the date
      of Plan  termination.  The Deferral  Account  balance shall be paid to the
      affected Participants in a lump sum within thirty (30) days following such
      Plan  termination.  The termination of the Plan shall not adversely affect
      any  Participant or Beneficiary  who has become entitled to the payment of
      any benefits under the Plan as of the date of termination.

11.2  Amendment. The Company may, at any time, amend or modify the Plan in whole
      or in part by the action of its Board;  provided,  however,  that:  (i) no
      amendment or  modification  shall be effective to decrease or restrict the
      value of a Participant's  vested Deferral  Account balance in existence at
      the time the  amendment  or  modification  is made,  calculated  as if the
      Participant had experienced  Early Termination as of the effective date of
      the amendment or modification,  or if the amendment or modification occurs
      after a  Participant's  Normal  Retirement  Age, as if the Participant had
      retired as of the  effective  date of the amendment or  modification,  and
      (ii) no amendment or  modification  of this Section 11.2 of the Plan shall
      be effective.  The amendment or  modification of the Plan shall not affect
      any  Participant or Beneficiary  who has become entitled to the payment of
      benefits under the Plan as of the date of the amendment or modification.

11.3  Participation Agreement.  Despite the provisions of Sections 11.1 and 11.2
      above, if a Participant's  Participation  Agreement  contains  benefits or
      limitations that are not in this Plan document, the Company may only amend
      or terminate such provisions with the consent of the Participant.

                                   Article 12
                                  Miscellaneous

12.1  Binding  Effect.  This Plan shall bind the Participant and the Company and
      their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators and transferees.

12.2  No Guarantee of Employment. This Plan is not a contract for employment. It
      does not give the  Participant  the  right to remain  an  employee  of the
      Company,  nor does it interfere with the Company's  right to discharge the
      Participant.  It also  does not  require  the  Participant  to  remain  an
      employee  nor  interfere  with  the   Participant's   right  to  terminate
      employment at any time.

12.3  Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Plan cannot be sold, transferred,
      assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.

12.4  Tax Withholding. The Company shall withhold any taxes that are required to
      be


                                       14


      withheld from the benefits provided under this Plan.

12.5  Applicable Law. The Plan and all rights hereunder shall be governed by the
      laws of New  Jersey,  except to the  extent  preempted  by the laws of the
      United States of America.

12.6  Unfunded  Arrangement.  The  Participant  and the  Beneficiary are general
      unsecured  creditors of the Company for the payment of benefits under this
      Plan.  The benefits  represent the mere promise by the Company to pay such
      benefits.  The  rights  to  benefits  are not  subject  in any  manner  to
      anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance,
      attachment,   or   garnishment   by   creditors.   Any  insurance  on  the
      Participant's  life  is a  general  asset  of the  Company  to  which  the
      Participant and the Beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.

12.7  Reorganization.  The Company shall not merge or  consolidate  into or with
      another company, or reorganize, or sell substantially all of its assets to
      another  company,  firm,  or person  unless such  succeeding or continuing
      company, firm, or person agrees to assume and discharge the obligations of
      the Company under this Plan.  Upon the occurrence of such event,  the term
      "Company"  as used in this Plan shall be deemed to refer to the  successor
      or survivor company.

12.8  Entire Agreement. This Plan and the Participant's  Participation Agreement
      constitute the entire agreement between the Company and the Participant as
      to the subject matter hereof.  No rights are granted to the Participant by
      virtue of (i) this Plan other than those specifically set forth herein; or
      (ii) the Participation  Agreement other than those  specifically set forth
      therein.

12.9  Interpretation. Wherever the fulfillment of the intent and purpose of this
      Plan  requires,  and the context  will  permit,  the use of the  masculine
      gender includes the feminine and use of the singular includes the plural

12.10 Alternative  Action.  In the  event it  shall  become  impossible  for the
      Company or the Plan  Administrator  to perform  any act  required  by this
      Plan, the Company or Plan Administrator may in its discretion perform such
      alternative  act as most nearly carries out the intent and purpose of this
      Plan and is in the best interests of the Company.

12.11 Headings.  Article and section headings are for convenient  reference only
      and shall not control or affect the meaning or  construction of any of its
      provisions.
