obligation to repay the loan and gives First Federal a security interest in the equipment purchased. If the
employee’s employment is terminated for any reason, the promissory note will also grant First Federal the
right to accelerate monies due and withhold the total amount due from the employee’s final paycheck
and/or final distribution of accrued benefits (i.e. accrued vacation pay, etc.).
This plan is offered solely for the benefit and use of the First Federal Bank, F.S.B. employees and is
