which he is entitled hereunder, or of all such benefits, any benefits
remaining unpaid shall be paid to such beneficiary or beneficiaries as the
Employee may designate by filing with the savings bank a notice in writing,
but in the absence of any such designation, such unpaid benefits shall be
so paid to her surviving spouse, if any. If the unpaid amounts are not
fully paid out to the Employee's designated beneficiaries or to her
surviving spouse, then the balance remaining unpaid shall be computed and
paid in single lump sum to the Employee's estate.
6. Installment Payment of Death Benefit
------------------------------------
Whenever the Employee's beneficiaries, other than her estate, shall become
entitled to receive any benefit hereunder, the benefit shall be paid to
such beneficiaries in monthly installments.

commenced to the Employee, over a period of sixty (60) months; or
(b) in the event that payment of monthly installments shall have
theretofore commenced to Employee, and two hundred forty (240) monthly
installments have not fallen due, for the balance of the period until
the remainder of such two hundred forty (240) monthly installments
have been paid.
7. Non-Assignable Rights
---------------------
Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, it is agreed that neither
the Employee nor her spouse, nor other beneficiary, shall have any right to
commute, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey the right to receive
any payments hereunder, which payments and the right thereto are expressly
declared to be non-assignable and non-transferable.
8. Independence of Agreement
-------------------------
The benefits payable under this Agreement shall be independent of, and in
addition to, any other employment agreement that may exist from time to
time between the parties hereto, or any other compensation payable by the
savings bank to the Employee, whether as salary, bonus, or otherwise. This
Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment
between the parties hereto, nor shall any provision hereof restrict the
right of the savings bank to discharge the Employee, or
20
restrict the right of the Employee to terminate his employment with the
savings bank.
9. Non-Secured Promise
-------------------
The rights of the Employee under this Agreement and of any beneficiary of
the Employee shall be solely those of an unsecured creditor of the savings
bank. Any insurance policy or any other asset acquired or held by the
savings bank in connection with the liabilities assumed by it hereunder
shall not, except as otherwise expressly provided, be deemed to be security
for the performance of the obligations of the savings bank, but shall be,
and remain, a general, unpledged, unrestricted asset of the savings bank.
10. Change of Business Form
-----------------------
The savings bank agrees that it will not merge or consolidate with any
other corporation or organization, or permit its business activities to be
taken over by any organization, unless and until the succeeding or
continuing corporation or other organization shall expressly assume the
rights and obligations of the savings bank as herein set forth. The savings
bank further agrees that it will not cease doing business activities or
terminate its existence other than as heretofore set forth in this
Paragraph 10, without having made adequate provision for fulfilling its
obligations hereunder. In the event of any default with respect to the
provisions of this Paragraph 10, the Employee (or other obligee or
obligees) shall have a continuing lien on all the savings bank's assets,
including already transferred assets, until such default be corrected.
11. Amendment of Agreement
----------------------
This Agreement may be revoked or amended in whole or in part by a writing
signed by both of the parties hereto.
