PART I
Item 1. Business
General
TrustCo Bank Corp NY ("TrustCo" or the "Company") is a multi-bank holding
company having its principal place of business at 5 Sarnowski Drive, Glenville,
New York 12302. TrustCo was incorporated under the laws of New York in 1981 to
acquire all of the outstanding stock of Trustco Bank, National Association,
formerly known as Trustco Bank New York, and prior to that The Schenectady Trust
Company. On July 28, 2000 TrustCo acquired Landmark Financial Corp. and its
subsidiary, Landmark Community Bank, Canajoharie, New York, a federal savings
bank with assets of approximately $26 million. TrustCo's acquisition cost was
approximately $3.4 million.
Through policy and practice, TrustCo continues to emphasize that it is an equal opportunity employer. There were 465 full-time equivalent employees of TrustCo at year-end 2001. TrustCo had 12,809 shareholders of record as of December 31, 2001 and the closing price of the TrustCo common stock at that date was $12.57.
Bank Subsidiaries
Trustco Bank, National Association
TrustCo's largest banking subsidiary, Trustco Bank, National Association (the
"Bank"), is a national banking association engaged in a general commercial
banking business serving individuals, partnerships, corporations, municipalities
and governments of New York. The Bank operates 49 automatic teller machines and
55 banking offices in Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga,
Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren, and Washington counties of New York State. The
largest part of such business consists of accepting deposits and making loans
and investments. The Bank provides a wide range of both personal and business
banking services. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and its
deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to
the extent permitted by law. An operating subsidiary of the Bank, Trustco Realty
Corp., holds certain mortgage assets which are serviced by the Bank. The Bank
accounted for substantially all of TrustCo's 2001 consolidated net income and
average assets.
The trust department of the Bank serves as executor of estates and trustee of personal trusts, provides estate planning and related advice, provides custodial services, and acts as trustee for various types of employee benefit plans and corporate pension and profit sharing trusts. The aggregate market value of the assets under trust, custody, or management of the trust department of the Bank was approximately $1.23 billion as of December 31, 2001.
The daily operations of the Bank remain the responsibility of its Board of Directors and officers, subject to the overall supervision by TrustCo. TrustCo derives most of its income from dividends paid to it by the Bank. The accounts of the Bank are included in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements.
Trustco Financial Corp.
Trustco Financial Corp. is a one-bank holding company, incorporated in the state
of Delaware, and located in Canajoharie, New York along with its subsidiary
bank, Trustco Savings Bank. The accounts of Trustco Financial Corp. are included
in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements.
Trustco Savings Bank
Trustco Savings Bank ("Savings Bank") is a federally chartered savings bank
located in Canajoharie, New York, operating one branch and one ATM, serving
communities located in Montgomery County, New York. It is a member of the
Savings Association Insurance Fund which is administered by the FDIC and its
deposits are insured by the FDIC to the extent permitted by law. As of December
31, 2001 its total assets were $17.9 million. The accounts of the Savings Bank
are included in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements.
ORE Subsidiary
During 1993, TrustCo created ORE Subsidiary Corp., a New York corporation, to
hold and manage certain foreclosed properties acquired by the Bank. The accounts
of this subsidiary are included in TrustCo's consolidated financial statements.
Competition
TrustCo faces strong competition in its market areas, both in attracting
deposits and making loans. The Company's most direct competition for deposits,
historically, has come from other commercial banks, savings associations, and
credit unions, which are located, or have branches in those areas. The Company
also faces competition for deposits from national brokerage houses, short-term
money market funds, and other corporate and government securities funds. Factors
affecting the acquisition of deposits include pricing, office locations and
hours of operation, the variety of deposit accounts offered, and the quality of
customer service provided. Competition for loans has been especially keen during
the last five years. Commercial banks, local thrift institutions, traditional
mortgage brokers affiliated with local offices, and nationally franchised real
estate brokers are all active and aggressive competitors. The Company competes
in this environment by providing a full range of financial services based on a
tradition of financial strength and integrity dating from its inception. The
Company competes for loans, principally through the interest rates and loan fees
it charges, and the efficiency and quality of services it provides to borrowers.
TrustCo operates in a number of communities where the competition ranges from other locally based commercial and savings banks to branches of the largest financial institutions in the United States. In the Capital District area of New York State, TrustCo's principal competitors are local operations of super regional banks, branch offices of money center banks, and locally based commercial and savings banks. The Bank is the largest commercial bank headquartered in the Capital District area.
Supervision and Regulation
Banking is a highly regulated industry, with numerous federal and state laws and
regulations governing the organization and operation of banks and their
affiliates. As a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956 (the "Act"), TrustCo is regulated and examined by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Reserve Board"). The Act requires
TrustCo to obtain prior Reserve Board approval for bank and non-bank
acquisitions and restricts the business operations permitted to TrustCo. The
Bank, as a national banking association, is subject to regulation and
examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). Because
the FDIC provides deposit insurance to the Bank, the Bank is also subject to its
supervision and regulation even though the FDIC is not its primary federal
regulator. Virtually all aspects of the business of TrustCo and the Bank are
subject to regulation and examination by the Reserve Board, the FDIC and the
OCC.
The Savings Bank is subject to regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and, like the Bank, to supervision and regulation by the FDIC.
Most of TrustCo's revenues consist of cash dividends paid to TrustCo by the Bank, payment of which is subject to various regulatory limitations. (Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements contained in TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2001, which appears on pages 32 and 33 thereof and contains information concerning restrictions on TrustCo's ability to pay dividends, is hereby incorporated by reference.) In addition, the Reserve Board has established guidelines with respect to the maintenance of appropriate levels of capital by a bank holding company under their jurisdictions. Compliance with the standards set forth in such guidelines could also limit the amount of dividends, that a bank or a bank holding company may pay to its shareholders. The banking industry is also affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, including the Reserve Board, which exerts considerable influence over the cost and availability of funds obtained for lending and investing.
See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements contained in TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2001, which appears on page 42 thereof and contains information concerning regulatory capital requirements.
Current Legislation
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was signed into law on November 12, 1999. This major
banking legislation expands the permissible activities of bank holding companies
such as TrustCo by permitting them to engage in activities, or affiliate with
entities that engage in activities, that are "financial in nature." Activities
that this act expressly deems to be financial in nature include, among other
things, securities and insurance underwriting and agency, investment management,
and merchant banking. The Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department, in
cooperation with one another, must determine what additional activities are
"financial in nature." With certain exceptions, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
similarly expands the authorized activities of subsidiaries of national banks.
The provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act authorizing the expanded powers
became effective March 11, 2000.
Bank holding companies that intend to engage in the newly authorized activities must elect to become "financial holding companies." Financial holding company status is only available to a bank holding company if all of its affiliated depository institutions are "well capitalized" and "well managed," based on applicable banking regulations, and have a Community Reinvestment Act rating of at least "a satisfactory record of meeting community credit needs." Financial holding companies and banks may continue to engage in activities that are financial in nature only if they continue to satisfy the well capitalized and well managed requirements. Bank holding companies that do not elect to be financial holding companies or that do not qualify for financial holding company status may engage only in non-banking activities deemed "closely related to banking" prior to adoption of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
This act also calls for "functional regulation" of financial services businesses in which functionally regulated subsidiaries of bank holding companies will continue to be regulated by the regulator that ordinarily has supervised their activities. As a result, state insurance regulators will continue to oversee the activities of insurance companies and agencies, and the Securities and Exchange Commission will continue to regulate the activities of broker-dealers and investment advisers, even where the companies or agencies are affiliated with a bank holding company. Federal Reserve authority to examine and adopt rules regarding functionally regulated subsidiaries is limited. This act repeals some of the exemptions enjoyed by banks under federal securities laws relating to securities offered by banks and licensing of broker-dealers and investment advisers.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act imposes a new, "affirmative and continuing" obligation on all financial service providers (not just banks and their affiliates) to safeguard consumer privacy and requires federal and state regulators, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, to establish standards to implement this privacy obligation. With certain exceptions, this act prohibits banks from disclosing to non-affiliated parties any non-public personal information about customers unless the bank has provided the customer with certain information and the customer has had the opportunity to prohibit the bank from sharing the information with non-affiliates. The new privacy obligations become effective six months after the federal banking agencies adopt regulations establishing the privacy standards.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act prevents companies engaged in commercial activities from acquiring savings institutions, requires public disclosure of any agreements between a depository institution and community groups regarding the institution's Community Reinvestment Act record, adopts amendments designed to modernize the Federal Home Loan Bank System and requires operators of automatic teller machines to disclose any fees charged to non-customers that use the machines.
Finally, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act will be the subject of extensive rule making by federal banking regulators and others. The effects of this legislation will only begin to be understood over the next several years and at this time cannot be predicted with any certainty.
The Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 was signed into law on September 30, 1996. This law streamlined the non-banking activity application process for well-capitalized and well-managed bank holding companies. Under this law, qualified bank holding companies may commence a regulatorily approved non-banking activity without prior notice to the Reserve Board although written notice is required within ten days after commencing the activity. Also under this law, the prior notice period is reduced to twelve days in the event of any non-banking acquisition or share purchase, assuming the size of the acquisition does not exceed 10% of risk-weighted assets of the acquiring bank holding company and the consideration does not exceed 15% of Tier 1 capital. This law also provides for the recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund which generally insures the deposits of thrift institutions, in order to bring it into parity with the Bank Insurance Fund.
In September 1994, the Reigle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 was enacted. As of September 29, 1995, adequately capitalized and managed bank holding companies are permitted to acquire banks in any state subject to state deposit caps and a 10% nationwide deposit cap. In addition, this law provides for full interstate branching by bank merger commencing on June 1, 1997.
The references in this section to various aspects of supervision and regulation are brief summaries which do not purport to be complete and which are qualified in their entirety by reference to applicable laws, rules and regulations. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on the business and prospects of TrustCo. The operations of TrustCo may be affected by legislative changes and by the policies of various regulatory authorities. TrustCo is unable to predict the nature or the extent of the effects on its business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, economic controls or new federal or state legislation may have in the future. Regulation by the federal and state banking authorities is designed to protect depositors rather than shareholders.
Foreign Operations
Neither TrustCo, the Bank, nor the Savings Bank engage in any material
operations in foreign countries or have any outstanding loans to foreign
debtors.
Statistical Information Analysis
The "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" on pages 6 through 25 of TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders for
the year ended December 31, 2001, which contains a presentation and discussion
of statistical data relating to TrustCo, is hereby incorporated by reference.
This information should not be construed to imply any conclusion on the part of
the management of TrustCo that the results, causes, or trends indicated therein
will continue in the future. The nature and effects of governmental monetary
policy, supervision and regulation, future legislation, inflation and other
economic conditions and many other factors which affect interest rates,
investments, loans, deposits, and other aspects of TrustCo's operations are
extremely complex and could make historical operations, earnings, assets, and
liabilities not indicative of what may occur in the future.
Critical Accounting Policies
Pursuant to recent SEC guidance, management of the Company is encouraged to
evaluate and disclose those accounting policies that are judged to be critical
policies, or those most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial
condition and results, and that require management's most difficult subjective
or complex judgments. Management considers the accounting policy relating to the
allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherent
subjectivity and uncertainty in estimating the levels of the allowance required
to cover credit losses in the portfolio and the material effect that such
judgments can have on the results of operations. Included in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements contained in TrustCo's Annual Report to
Shareholders is a description of this critical polity and the other significant
accounting policies that are utilized by the Company in the preparation of the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Outsourced Services
TrustCo has entered into a multi year contract with Fiserv Solutions,
Inc.("Fiserv") to perform certain operating procedures for the Company. The
contract requires Trustco Banks to convert to the Fiserv system during the first
half of 2002. Upon completion, the monthly billing for services will commence.
Services included with the contract are data processing, item processing, back
room operations for the Bank, and trust operations. The annual cost of the
contract is estimated at $5 million and will be partially offset by expenses
being eliminated. In 2002 there will be duplication of certain costs for part of
the year as the Company completes the transition to Fiserv. Those duplicate
costs are not estimated to be material.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements included in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" of TrustCo's Annual Report to Shareholders
for the year ended December 31, 2001 and in future filings by TrustCo with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in TrustCo's press releases and in oral
statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer which are
not historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected. TrustCo wishes to caution readers not to place undue
reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
made. The following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected
and in the future could affect TrustCo's actual results and could cause
TrustCo's actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed
in any forward-looking statement: (i) credit risk; (ii) interest rate risk;
(iii) competition; (iv) changes in the regulatory environment; and (v) changes
in general business and economic trends. The foregoing list should not be
construed as exhaustive and the Company disclaims any obligation to subsequently
revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after
the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or
unanticipated events.
Item 2. Properties
TrustCo's executive offices are located at 5 Sarnowski Drive, Glenville, New York, 12302. The Company operates 56 offices, of which 22 are owned and 34 are leased from others. The asset value of these properties, when considered in the aggregate, is not material to the operation of TrustCo.
In the opinion of management, the physical properties of TrustCo, the Bank, and the Savings Bank are suitable and adequate, and are being fully utilized.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The nature of TrustCo's business generates a certain amount of litigation against TrustCo and its subsidiaries involving matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of TrustCo, there are no proceedings pending to which TrustCo or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or of which its property is the subject which, if determined adversely to TrustCo or such subsidiaries, would be material in relation to TrustCo's consolidated shareholders' equity and financial condition.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
None.

FOR

PROVIDED UNDER
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
OF
TRUSTCO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
AND TRUSTCO BANK CORP NY
September 18, 2001
AMENDED AND RESTATED
TRUST FOR DEFERRED BENEFITS PROVIDED UNDER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS OF
TRUSTCO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND TRUSTCO BANK CORP NY
This Amended and Restated Agreement made this 18th day of September, 2001, by and between TrustCo Bank Corp NY, a New York corporation, Trustco Bank, National Association ("Bank") and Trustco Bank, National Association, Trust Department ("Trustee"); and
WHEREAS, Bank has provided for certain termination and gross-up benefits in the employment agreements listed in Appendix A (hereinafter called "Employment Agreements"); and
WHEREAS, Bank maintains a trust (hereinafter called "Trust") established as of April 1, 1996 and Bank has contributed to the Trust assets to be held therein, subject to the claims of Bank's creditors in the event of Bank's Insolvency, as herein defined, until paid to employees and their beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in the Employment Agreements; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Employment Agreements as unfunded arrangements maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of Bank to continue to make contributions to the Trust to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of its liabilities under the Employment Agreements; and
WHEREAS, the Bank and the Trustee desire to amend and restate the Trust in its entirety, effective as of September 18, 2001;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Trust is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, effective as of September 18, 2001, to read as follows:
Section 1. Establishment of Trust.
(a) As of September 18, 2001, Bank deposited with Trustee in trust Four
Dollars and Forty- Five Cents ($4.45), which is the principal of the Trust to be
held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust
Agreement.
(b) The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable.
(c) The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which Bank is the grantor, within the meaning of Subpart E, Part I, Subchapter J, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.
(d) The principal of the Trust shall be held separate and apart from other funds of Bank and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of employees, their beneficiaries and Bank's general creditors as herein set forth. Employees and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Employment Agreements and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of employees and their beneficiaries against Bank. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of Bank's general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as defined in Section 3(a) herein.
(e) Bank, in its sole discretion, may at any time, or from time to time, make additional deposits of cash or other property in trust with Trustee to augment the principal to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement. Neither Trustee nor any employee or beneficiary shall have any right to compel such additional deposits.
(f) Upon a Change in Control, as defined herein, or upon the occurrence of an event pursuant to which an employee or beneficiary becomes entitled to payment of benefits under the Employment Agreements, Bank shall, 15 days prior to the date of consummation of such Change in Control or such event make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount that is sufficient to pay each employee or beneficiary all of the benefits which have accrued on behalf of employees or their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreements as of the date on which the Change in Control or such event occurred; provided, however, that if a Change in Control occurs without prior announcement or notice thereof, Bank shall make the required contribution within 10 days after the Change in Control. In the event a payment is made to Executive as the result of an announcement constituting a Change of Control and the transaction described in such announcement is not consummated, such payment shall constitute a loan by Company to the Executive, payable to Company upon demand, with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Code commencing as of the date of payment by Company of such amount. The Company will pay Executive a "tax gross-up payment" in respect of any taxes incurred by the Executive with respect to such loan. For purposes of this Section, the term "tax gross-up payment" means an amount such that, after the payment of taxes on such tax gross-up payment, there remains a balance sufficient to pay the taxes being reimbursed. For purposes of this Section, the term "taxes" includes taxes, penalties and interest imposed by any taxing authority.
Section 2. Payments to Employees and Their Beneficiaries.
(a) Bank shall deliver to Trustee a schedule (the "Payment Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable in respect of each employee (and his or her beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other instructions acceptable to Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the Employment Agreements), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Trustee shall make payments to the employees and their beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreements and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by Bank.
(b) The entitlement of an employee or his or her beneficiaries to benefits under the Employment Agreements shall be determined by Bank or such party as it shall designate under the Employment Agreements, and any claim for such benefits shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the Employment Agreements.
(c) Bank may make payment of benefits directly to employees or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Employment Agreements. Bank shall notify Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to employees or their beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust is not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreements, Bank shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due. Trustee shall notify Bank where principal is not sufficient.
Section 3. Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments to Trust Beneficiary when Bank is Insolvent.
(a) Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to employees and their beneficiaries if the Bank is Insolvent. Bank shall be considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) Bank is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) Bank is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) Bank is determined to be Insolvent by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
(b) At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in
Section 1(d) hereof, the principal of the Trust shall be subject to claims of
general creditors of Bank under federal and state law as set forth below.
(1) The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of Bank shall have the duty to inform Trustee in writing of Bank's Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of Bank alleges in writing to Trustee that Bank has become Insolvent, Trustee shall determine whether Bank is Insolvent and, pending such determination, Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits to employees or their beneficiaries.
(2) Unless Trustee has actual knowledge of Bank's Insolvency, or has received notice from Bank or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that Bank is Insolvent, Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether Bank is Insolvent. Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning Bank's solvency as may be furnished to Trustee and that provides Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning Bank's solvency.
(3) If at any time Trustee has determined that Bank is Insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments to employees or their beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of Bank's general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights of employees or their beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of Bank with respect to benefits due under the Employment Agreements or otherwise.
(4) Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with Section 2 of this Trust Agreement only after Trustee has determined that Bank is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).
(c) Provided that there are sufficient assets, if Trustee discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to employees or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Employment Agreements for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to employees or their beneficiaries by Bank in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.
Section 4. Investment Authority.
(a) All rights associated with assets of the Trust shall be exercised by Trustee or the person designated by Trustee, and shall in no event be exercisable by or rest with employees. Bank shall have the right at any time, and from time to time in its sole discretion, to substitute assets of equal fair market value for any asset held by the Trust.
Section 5. Disposition of Income.
(a) During the term of this Trust, all of the income received by the Trust, net of expenses and taxes, shall be returned to Bank.
Section 6. Accounting by Trustee.
Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all investments, receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions required to be made, including such specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing between Bank and Trustee. Within 30 days following the close of each calendar year and within 30 days after the removal or resignation of Trustee, Trustee shall deliver to Bank a written account of its administration of the Trust during such year or during the period from the close of the last preceding year to the date of such removal or resignation, setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions effected by it, including a description of all securities and investments purchased and sold with the cost or net proceeds of such purchases or sales (accrued interest paid or receivable being shown separately), and showing all cash, securities and other property held in the Trust at the end of such year or as of the date of such removal or resignation, as the case may be.
Section 7. Responsibility of Trustee.
(a) Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims, provided, however, that Trustee shall incur no liability to any person for any action taken pursuant to a direction, request or approval given by Bank which is contemplated by, and in conformity with, the terms of the Plan or this Trust and is given in writing by Bank. In the event of a dispute between Bank and a party, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute.
(b) If Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in connection with this Trust, Bank agrees to indemnify Trustee against Trustee's costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily liable for such payments.
(c) Trustee may consult with legal counsel (who may also be counsel for Bank generally) with respect to any of its duties or obligations hereunder. Bank shall pay the fees of all legal counsel so hired.
(d) Trustee may hire agents, accountants, actuaries, investment advisors, financial consultants or other professionals to assist it in performing any of its duties or obligations hereunder. Bank shall pay the fees of all professionals so hired.
(e) Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred on Trustees by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise herein, provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of the Trust, Trustee shall have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy other than the Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the policy to a different form) other than to a successor Trustee, or to loan to any person the proceeds of any borrowing against such policy.
(f) Notwithstanding any powers granted to Trustee pursuant to this Trust Agreement or to applicable law, Trustee shall not have any power that could make the beneficiaries of this Trust associates in a joint enterprise for the conduct of business for profit, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-4 of the Procedure and Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.
Section 8. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee.
Bank shall pay all administrative and Trustee's fees and expenses.
Section 9. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
(a) Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to Bank, which shall be effective 30 days after receipt of such notice unless Bank and Trustee agree otherwise.
(b) Trustee may be removed by Bank on 10 days notice or upon shorter notice accepted by Trustee.
(c) 15 days prior to a Change in Control, as defined herein, the Trust shall be subdivided into separate trusts for each Employment Agreement, with each trust containing an amount that is sufficient to pay the employee or beneficiary on whose behalf it is established, all of the benefits which have accrued on behalf of such employee or his beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of his or her Employment Agreement as of the date of the Change in Control; provided, however, that if a Hostile Change in Control occurs without prior announcement or notice thereof, such subdivision of the Trust shall take place within 10 days after the Change in Control.
(d) Upon a Hostile Change in Control, each employee or his beneficiaries shall appoint an independent bank trust department or another independent party that may be granted corporate trustee powers under state law, as trustee of such trust. Upon receipt from a successor Trustee of its written acceptance of appointment in which the successor Trustee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Bank will immediately transfer to such successor Trustee the amount of assets sufficient to pay the employee or beneficiary on whose behalf the subdivided trust is established, all of the benefits which have accrued on behalf of such employee or his beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of his or her Employment Agreement as of the date of the Change in Control. No action taken pursuant to this Section 9(d) will create on behalf of employees and their beneficiaries any preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the subdivided trusts and assets held by each trust created pursuant to this Section 9(d) will continue to be subject to the claims of Bank's general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as defined in Section 3(a) herein. Trustees named by employees and beneficiaries pursuant to this Section 9(d) may not be removed by Bank.
(e) If Trustee resigns or is removed within 15 years after a Change in Control, as defined herein, and an employee is entitled to any further benefits under the Trust, such employee or his beneficiaries shall appoint an independent bank trust department or another independent party the may be granted corporate trustee powers under state law, as trustee of the Trust within five days after such Trustee resignation.
(f) Upon resignation or removal of Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee, all assets shall subsequently be transferred to the successor Trustee. The transfer shall be completed within 30 days after receipt of notice of resignation, removal or transfer, unless Bank and all beneficiaries of this Trust agree to extend the time limit.
(g) If Trustee resigns or is removed, a successor shall be appointed, in accordance with Section 10 hereof, by the effective date of resignation or removal under subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 9. If no such appointment has been made, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor or for instructions. All expenses of Trustee in connection with the proceeding shall be allowed as administrative expenses of the Trust.
Section 10. Appointment of Successor.
If Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with Section 9(a), (b) or
(e) hereof, the Trust beneficiaries may appoint any third party, such as a bank
trust department or other party that may be granted corporate trustee powers
under state law, as a successor to replace Trustee upon resignation or removal.
The appointment shall be effective when accepted in writing by the new Trustee,
who shall have all of the rights and powers of the former Trustee, including
ownership rights in the Trust assets. The former Trustee shall execute any
instrument necessary or reasonably requested by Bank or the successor Trustee to
evidence the transfer.
Section 11. Amendment or Termination.
(a) This Trust Agreement may be amended by a written instrument executed by Trustee and Bank; provided, however, that this Trust Agreement may not be modified to the detriment of any employee without his consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment shall conflict with the terms of the Employment Agreements or shall make the Trust revocable after it has become irrevocable in accordance with Section 1(b) hereof.
(b) The Trust shall not terminate until the date on which employees and their beneficiaries are no longer entitled to benefits pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreements. Upon termination of the Trust any assets remaining in the Trust shall be returned to Bank.
(c) Sections 1.(b), 1.(d), 1.(f), 2.(a), 2.(b), 4.(a), 9.(c), 9.(d), 9.(e), 10, 11.(a), 11.(b), 11.(c), 12.(a), 12.(b), 12.(c), 12.(d) and 12 (e) and Appendix A of this Trust Agreement may not be amended by Bank for 15 years following a Change in Control, as defined herein.
Section 12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Any provision of this Trust Agreement prohibited by law shall be ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition, without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.
(b) Benefits payable to employees and their beneficiaries under this Trust Agreement may not be anticipated, assigned (either at law or in equity), alienated, pledged, encumbered or subjected to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process.
(c) This Trust Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York.
(d) For purposes of this Trust, a "Change in Control" means any of the following events: (a) any individual, corporation (other than TrustCo Bank Corp NY or the Bank, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Companies" or Trustco Savings Bank), partnership, trust, association, pool, syndicate, or any other entity or group of persons acting in concert becomes the beneficial owner, as that concept is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of securities of either of the Companies possessing 20% or more of the voting power for the election of directors of either of the Companies; (b) there shall be consummated any consolidation, merger or other business combination involving either of the Companies or the securities of either of the Companies in which holders of voting securities immediately prior to such consummation own, as a group, immediately after such consummation, voting securities of either of the Companies (or, if either of the Companies does not survive such transaction, voting securities of the entity or entities surviving such transaction) having 60% or less of the total voting power in an election of directors of either of the Companies (or such other surviving entity or entities); (c) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the directors of either of the Companies cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or nomination for election by either of the Companies` shareholders, of each new director of either of the Companies was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of either of the Companies then still in office who were directors of either of the Companies at the beginning of any such period; (d) removal by the stockholders of all or any of the incumbent directors of either of the Companies other than a removal for cause; and (e) there shall be consummated any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of either of the Companies to a party which is not controlled by or under common control with either of the Companies.
For purposes of this Trust, the term "Change in Control" will include (i) an announcement, including but not limited to, a press release, public statement, or filing with federal or state securities regulators, of a transaction that would constitute a Change in Control as defined in this subsection and (ii) the execution of a definitive agreement expressing the intent to accomplish any consolidation, merger or other business combination involving the Bank or the securities of the Bank described in Section 12(d)(b) herein.
For purposes of this Trust, a "Hostile Change in Control" means a transaction which the executive officers of the Bank unanimously determine is a Hostile Change in Control.

This Amended and Restated Agreement made this 18th day of September, 2001, by and between TrustCo Bank Corp NY, a New York corporation, Trustco Bank, National Association ("Bank") and Trustco Bank, National Association, Trust Department ("Trustee"); and
WHEREAS, Bank has adopted the non-qualified deferred compensation plans listed in Appendix A (hereinafter called "Plans"); and
WHEREAS, Bank maintains a trust (hereinafter called "Trust") established as of April 1, 1996 and Bank has contributed to the Trust assets to be held therein, subject to the claims of Bank's creditors in the event of Bank's Insolvency, as herein defined, until paid to Plan participants and their beneficiaries in such manner and at such times as specified in the Plans; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Plans as unfunded plans maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of Bank to make contributions to the Trust to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of its liabilities under the Plans; and
WHEREAS, the Bank and the Trustee desire to amend and restate the Trust in its entirety, effective as of September 18, 2001;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Trust is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, effective as of September 18, 2001, to read as follows:
Section 1. Establishment of Trust.
(a) As of September 18, 2001, Bank deposited with Trustee in trust Seventeen Million One Hundred Fifty Four Thousand Two Hundred Eighty Two Dollars and Forty- Three Cents ($17,154,282.43), which is the principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.
(b) The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable.
(c) The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which Bank is the grantor, within the meaning of Subpart E, Part I, Subchapter J, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.
(d) The principal of the Trust shall be held separate and apart from other funds of Bank and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Plan participants, their beneficiaries and Bank's general creditors as herein set forth. Plan participants and their beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Plans and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Plan participants and their beneficiaries against Bank. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of Bank's general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as defined in Section 3(a) herein.
(e) Within 30 days following the end of each Plan year, Bank shall be required to irrevocably deposit additional cash or other property to the Trust in an amount sufficient to pay each Plan participant or beneficiary the benefits accrued pursuant to the terms of the Plans as of the close of such Plan year.
(f) Bank, in its sole discretion, may at any time, or from time to time, make additional deposits of cash or other property in trust with Trustee to augment the principal to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement. Neither Trustee nor any Plan participant or beneficiary shall have any right to compel such additional deposits.
(g) Upon a Change in Control, as defined herein, or upon the occurrence of an event pursuant to which a Participant or beneficiary becomes entitled to payment of benefits under the Plans, Bank shall, 15 days prior to the date of consummation of such Change in Control or such event, make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount that is sufficient to pay each Plan participant or beneficiary all of the benefits which have accrued on behalf of Plan participants or their beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plans as of the date on which the Change in Control or such event occurred; provided, however, that if a Change in Control occurs without prior announcement or notice thereof, Bank shall make the required contribution within 10 days after the Change in Control. In the event a payment is made to a Participant as the result of an announcement constituting a Change of Control and the transaction described in such announcement is not consummated, such payment shall constitute a loan by Company to the Participant, payable to Company upon demand, with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Code commencing as of the date of payment by Company of such amount. The Company will pay a Participant a "tax gross-up payment" in respect of any taxes incurred by the Participant with respect to such loan. For purposes of this Section, the term "tax gross-up payment" means an amount such that, after the payment of taxes on such tax gross-up payment, there remains a balance sufficient to pay the taxes being reimbursed. For purposes of this Section, the term "taxes" includes taxes, penalties and interest imposed by any taxing authority.
Section 2. Payments to Plan Participants and Their Beneficiaries.
(a) Bank shall deliver to Trustee a schedule (the "Payment Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable in respect of each Plan participant (and his or her beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other instructions acceptable to Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the Plans), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Trustee shall make payments to the Plan participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plans and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by Bank.
(b) The entitlement of a Plan participant or his or her beneficiaries to benefits under the Plans shall be determined by Bank or such party as it shall designate under the Plans, and any claim for such benefits shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the Plans.
(c) Bank may make payment of benefits directly to Plan participants or their beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Plans. Bank shall notify Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to participants or their beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust is not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Plans, Bank shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due. Trustee shall notify Bank where principal is not sufficient.
Section 3. Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments to Trust Beneficiary when Bank is Insolvent.
(a) Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Plan participants and their beneficiaries if the Bank is Insolvent. Bank shall be considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) Bank is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) Bank is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) Bank is determined to be Insolvent by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
(b) At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in Section 1(d) hereof, the principal of the Trust shall be subject to claims of general creditors of Bank under federal and state law as set forth below.
(1) The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of Bank shall have the duty to inform Trustee in writing of Bank's Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of Bank alleges in writing to Trustee that Bank has become Insolvent, Trustee shall determine whether Bank is Insolvent and, pending such determination, Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits to Plan participants or their beneficiaries.
(2) Unless Trustee has actual knowledge of Bank's Insolvency, or has received notice from Bank or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that Bank is Insolvent, Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether Bank is Insolvent. Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning Bank's solvency as may be furnished to Trustee and that provides Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning Bank's solvency.
(3) If at any time Trustee has determined that Bank is Insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments to Plan participants or their beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of Bank's general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights of Plan participants or their beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of Bank with respect to benefits due under the Plans or otherwise.
(4) Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Plan participants or their beneficiaries in accordance with Section 2 of this Trust Agreement only after Trustee has determined that Bank is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).
(c) Provided that there are sufficient assets, if Trustee discontinues the payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof and subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to Plan participants or their beneficiaries under the terms of the Plans for the period of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to Plan participants or their beneficiaries by Bank in lieu of the payments provided for hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.
Section 4. Investment Authority.
(a) All rights associated with assets of the Trust shall be exercised by Trustee or the person designated by Trustee, and shall in no event be exercisable by or rest with Plan participants. Bank shall have the right at any time, and from time to time in its sole discretion, to substitute assets of equal fair market value for any asset held by the Trust.
Section 5. Disposition of Income.
(a) During the term of this Trust, all of the income received by the Trust, net of expenses and taxes, shall be returned to Bank.
Section 6. Accounting by Trustee.
Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all investments, receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions required to be made, including such specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing between Bank and Trustee. Within 30 days following the close of each calendar year and within 30 days after the removal or resignation of Trustee, Trustee shall deliver to Bank a written account of its administration of the Trust during such year or during the period from the close of the last preceding year to the date of such removal or resignation, setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions effected by it, including a description of all securities and investments purchased and sold with the cost or net proceeds of such purchases or sales (accrued interest paid or receivable being shown separately), and showing all cash, securities and other property held in the Trust at the end of such year or as of the date of such removal or resignation, as the case may be.
Section 7. Responsibility of Trustee.
(a) Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims, provided, however, that Trustee shall incur no liability to any person for any action taken pursuant to a direction, request or approval given by Bank which is contemplated by, and in conformity with, the terms of the Plan or this Trust and is given in writing by Bank. In the event of a dispute between Bank and a party, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute.
(b) If Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in connection with this Trust, Bank agrees to indemnify Trustee against Trustee's costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily liable for such payments.
(c) Trustee may consult with legal counsel (who may also be counsel for Bank generally) with respect to any of its duties or obligations hereunder. Bank shall pay the fees of all legal counsel so hired.
(d) Trustee may hire agents, accountants, actuaries, investment advisors, financial consultants or other professionals to assist it in performing any of its duties or obligations hereunder. Bank shall pay the fees of all professionals so hired.
(e) Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred on Trustees by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise herein, provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of the Trust, Trustee shall have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy other than the Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the policy to a different form) other than to a successor Trustee, or to loan to any person the proceeds of any borrowing against such policy.
(f) Notwithstanding any powers granted to Trustee pursuant to this Trust Agreement or to applicable law, Trustee shall not have any power that could make the beneficiaries of this Trust associates in a joint enterprise for the conduct of business for profit, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-4 of the Procedure and Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.
Section 8. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee.
Bank shall pay all administrative and Trustee's fees and expenses.
Section 9. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
(a) Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to Bank, which shall be effective 30 days after receipt of such notice unless Bank and Trustee agree otherwise.
(b) Trustee may be removed by Bank on 10 days notice or upon shorter notice accepted by Trustee.
(c) 15 days prior to a Change in Control, as defined herein, the Trust shall be subdivided into separate trusts for each participant in the Plans, with each trust containing an amount that is sufficient to pay the Plan participant or beneficiary on whose behalf it is established, all of the benefits which have accrued on behalf of such Plan participant or his beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plans as of the date of the Change in Control; provided, however, that if a Hostile Change in Control occurs without prior announcement or notice thereof, such subdivision of the Trust shall take place within 10 days after the Change in Control.
(d) Upon a Hostile Change in Control, each Plan participant or his beneficiaries shall appoint an independent bank trust department or another independent party that may be granted corporate trustee powers under state law, as trustee of such trust. Upon receipt from a successor Trustee of its written acceptance of appointment in which the successor Trustee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Bank will immediately transfer to such successor Trustee the amount of assets sufficient to pay the Plan participant or beneficiary on whose behalf the subdivided trust is established, all of the benefits which have accrued on behalf of such Plan participant or his beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Plans as of the date of the Change in Control. No action taken pursuant to this Section 9(d) will create on behalf of Plan participants and their beneficiaries any preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the subdivided trusts and assets held by each trust created pursuant to this Section 9(d) will continue to be subject to the claims of Bank's general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as defined in Section 3(a) herein. Trustees named by Plan participants and beneficiaries pursuant to this Section 9(d) may not be removed by Bank.
(e) If Trustee resigns or is removed within 15 years after a Change in Control, as defined herein, and a Plan participant is entitled to any further benefits under the Trust, such Plan participant shall appoint an independent bank trust department or another independent party that may be granted corporate trustee powers under state law, as trustee of the Trust within five days after such Trustee resignation.
(f) Upon resignation or removal of Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee, all assets shall subsequently be transferred to the successor Trustee. The transfer shall be completed within 30 days after receipt of notice of resignation, removal or transfer, unless Bank and all Plan participants agree to extend the time limit.
(g) If Trustee resigns or is removed, a successor shall be appointed, in accordance with Section 10 hereof, by the effective date of resignation or removal under subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 9. If no such appointment has been made, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor or for instructions. All expenses of Trustee in connection with the proceeding shall be allowed as administrative expenses of the Trust.
Section 10. Appointment of Successor.
If Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with Section 9(a), (b) or
(e) hereof, the Plan participants may appoint any third party, such as a bank
trust department or other party that may be granted corporate trustee powers
under state law, as a successor to replace Trustee upon resignation or removal.
The appointment shall be effective when accepted in writing by the new Trustee,
who shall have all of the rights and powers of the former Trustee, including
ownership rights in the Trust assets. The former Trustee shall execute any
instrument necessary or reasonably requested by Bank or the successor Trustee to
evidence the transfer.
Section 11. Amendment or Termination.
(a) This Trust Agreement may be amended by a written instrument executed by Trustee and Bank; provided, however, that this Trust Agreement may not be modified to the detriment of any Plan participant without his consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment shall conflict with the terms of the Plans or shall make the Trust revocable after it has become irrevocable in accordance with Section 1(b) hereof.
(b) The Trust shall not terminate until the date on which Plan participants and their beneficiaries are no longer entitled to benefits pursuant to the terms of the Plans. Upon termination of the Trust any assets remaining in the Trust shall be returned to Bank.
(c) Sections 1.(b), 1.(d), 1.(e), 1.(g), 2.(a), 2.(b), 4.(a), 9.(c), 9.(d),

Appendix A of this Trust Agreement may not be amended by Bank for 15 years
following a Change in Control, as defined herein.
Section 12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Any provision of this Trust Agreement prohibited by law shall be ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition, without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.
(b) Benefits payable to Plan participants and their beneficiaries under this Trust Agreement may not be anticipated, assigned (either at law or in equity), alienated, pledged, encumbered or subjected to attachment, garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process.
(c) This Trust Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York.
(d) For purposes of this Trust, a "Change in Control" means any of the following events: (a) any individual, corporation (other than TrustCo Bank Corp NY or the Bank, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Companies" or Trustco Savings Bank), partnership, trust, association, pool, syndicate, or any other entity or group of persons acting in concert becomes the beneficial owner, as that concept is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of securities of either of the Companies possessing 20% or more of the voting power for the election of directors of either of the Companies; (b) there shall be consummated any consolidation, merger or other business combination involving either of the Companies or the securities of either of the Companies in which holders of voting securities immediately prior to such consummation own, as a group, immediately after such consummation, voting securities of either of the Companies (or, if either of the Companies does not survive such transaction, voting securities of the entity or entities surviving such transaction) having 60% or less of the total voting power in an election of directors of either of the Companies (or such other surviving entity or entities); (c) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the directors of either of the Companies cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or nomination for election by either of the Companies` shareholders, of each new director of either of the Companies was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of either of the Companies then still in office who were directors of either of the Companies at the beginning of any such period; (d) removal by the stockholders of all or any of the incumbent directors of either of the Companies other than a removal for cause; and (e) there shall be consummated any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of either of the Companies to a party which is not controlled by or under common control with either of the Companies.

TRUST FOR CERTAIN BENEFITS UNDER EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT
OF R.A. MCCORMICK
This Amended and Restated Agreement made this 18th day of September, 2001, by and between TrustCo Bank Corp NY, a New York corporation, Trustco Bank, National Association ("Bank") and Trustco Bank, National Association, Trust Department ("Trustee"); and
WHEREAS, Bank has entered into an employment agreement with Robert A. McCormick ("Executive"), dated April 1, 1996, which provides for termination benefits and, in the event of a Change in Control, gross-up benefits ("Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, Bank maintains a trust (hereinafter called "Trust") established as of April 1, 1996 and Bank has contributed to the Trust assets to be held therein, subject to the claims of Bank's creditors in the event of Bank's Insolvency, as herein defined, until paid to Executive in such manner and at such times as specified in the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that this Trust shall constitute an unfunded arrangement and shall not affect the status of the Agreement as an unfunded plan maintained for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of Bank to continue to make contributions to the Trust to provide itself with a source of funds to assist it in the meeting of its liabilities under the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Bank and the Trustee desire to amend and restate the Trust in its entirety, effective as of September 18, 2001;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Trust is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, effective as of September 18, 2001, to read as follows:
Section 1. Establishment of Trust.
(a) As of September 18, 2001, Bank deposited with Trustee in trust Eight Million Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($8,550,000), which is the principal of the Trust to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement.
(b) The Trust hereby established shall be irrevocable.
(c) The Trust is intended to be a grantor trust, of which Bank is the grantor, within the meaning of Subpart E, Part I, Subchapter J, Chapter 1, Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed accordingly.
(d) The principal of the Trust shall be held separate and apart from other funds of Bank and shall be used exclusively for the uses and purposes of Executive, his beneficiaries and Bank's general creditors as herein set forth. Executive and his beneficiaries shall have no preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the Trust. Any rights created under the Agreement and this Trust Agreement shall be mere unsecured contractual rights of Executive and his beneficiaries against Bank. Any assets held by the Trust will be subject to the claims of Bank's general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as defined in Section 3(a) herein.
(e) Within 30 days following the end of each calendar year, Bank shall be required to irrevocably deposit additional cash or other property to the Trust in an amount sufficient to pay Executive the benefits payable pursuant to the terms of the Agreement as of the close of such year.
(f) Bank, in its sole discretion, may at any time, or from time to time, make additional deposits of cash or other property in trust with Trustee to augment the principal to be held, administered and disposed of by Trustee as provided in this Trust Agreement. Neither Trustee nor Executive shall have any right to compel such additional deposits.
(g) Upon a Change in Control, as defined herein, or upon the occurrence of an event pursuant to which Executive becomes entitled to payment of benefits under the Agreement, Bank shall, 15 days prior to the date of consummation of such Change in Control or such event, make an irrevocable contribution to the Trust in an amount that is sufficient to pay Executive or his beneficiaries all of the benefits which have accrued on behalf of Executive or his beneficiaries pursuant to the terms of the Agreement as of the date on which the Change in Control or such event occurred; provided, however, that if a Change in Control occurs without prior announcement or notice thereof, Bank shall make the required contribution within 10 days after the Change in Control.
Section 2. Payments to Executive and His Beneficiaries.
(a) Bank shall deliver to Trustee a schedule (the "Payment Schedule") that indicates the amounts payable in respect of Executive (and his beneficiaries), that provides a formula or other instructions acceptable to Trustee for determining the amounts so payable, the form in which such amount is to be paid (as provided for or available under the Agreement), and the time of commencement for payment of such amounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, Trustee shall make payments to Executive and his beneficiaries in accordance with such Payment Schedule. The Trustee shall make provision for the reporting and withholding of any federal, state or local taxes that may be required to be withheld with respect to the payment of benefits pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and shall pay amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing authorities or determine that such amounts have been reported, withheld and paid by Bank.
(b) The entitlement of Executive or his beneficiaries to benefits under the Agreement shall be determined by Bank or such party as it shall designate under the Agreement, and any claim for such benefits shall be considered and reviewed under the procedures set out in the Agreement.
(c) Bank may make payment of benefits directly to Executive or his beneficiaries as they become due under the terms of the Agreement. Bank shall notify Trustee of its decision to make payment of benefits directly prior to the time amounts are payable to Executive or his beneficiaries. In addition, if the principal of the Trust is not sufficient to make payments of benefits in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, Bank shall make the balance of each such payment as it falls due. Trustee shall notify Bank where principal is not sufficient.
Section 3. Trustee Responsibility Regarding Payments to Trust Beneficiary when Bank is Insolvent.
(a) Trustee shall cease payment of benefits to Executive and his beneficiaries if the Bank is Insolvent. Bank shall be considered "Insolvent" for purposes of this Trust Agreement if (i) Bank is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or (ii) Bank is subject to a pending proceeding as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) Bank is determined to be Insolvent by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
(b) At all times during the continuance of this Trust, as provided in
Section 1(d) hereof, the principal of the Trust shall be subject to claims of
general creditors of Bank under federal and state law as set forth below.
(1) The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Office of Bank shall have the duty to inform Trustee in writing of Bank's Insolvency. If a person claiming to be a creditor of Bank alleges in writing to Trustee that Bank has become Insolvent, Trustee shall determine whether Bank is Insolvent and, pending such determination, Trustee shall discontinue payment of benefits to Executive or his beneficiaries.
(2) Unless Trustee has actual knowledge of Bank's Insolvency, or has received notice from Bank or a person claiming to be a creditor alleging that Bank is Insolvent, Trustee shall have no duty to inquire whether Bank is Insolvent. Trustee may in all events rely on such evidence concerning Bank's solvency as may be furnished to Trustee and that provides Trustee with a reasonable basis for making a determination concerning Bank's solvency.
(3) If at any time Trustee has determined that Bank is Insolvent, Trustee shall discontinue payments to Executive or his beneficiaries and shall hold the assets of the Trust for the benefit of Bank's general creditors. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall in any way diminish any rights of Executive or his beneficiaries to pursue their rights as general creditors of Bank with respect to benefits due under the Agreement or otherwise.
(4) Trustee shall resume the payment of benefits to Executive or his
beneficiaries in accordance with Section 2 of this Trust Agreement only after
Trustee has determined that Bank is not Insolvent (or is no longer Insolvent).
(c) Provided that there are sufficient assets, if Trustee discontinues the
payment of benefits from the Trust pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof and
subsequently resumes such payments, the first payment following such
discontinuance shall include the aggregate amount of all payments due to
Executive or his beneficiaries under the terms of the Agreement for the period
of such discontinuance, less the aggregate amount of any payments made to
Executive or his beneficiaries by Bank in lieu of the payments provided for
hereunder during any such period of discontinuance.
Section 4. Investment Authority.
(a) All rights associated with assets of the Trust shall be exercised by Trustee or the person designated by Trustee, and shall in no event be exercisable by or rest with Executive. Bank shall have the right at any time, and from time to time in its sole discretion, to substitute assets of equal fair market value for any asset held by the Trust.
Section 5. Disposition of Income.
(a) During the term of this Trust, all of the income received by the Trust, net of expenses and taxes, shall be returned to Bank.
Section 6. Accounting by Trustee.
Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all investments, receipts, disbursements, and all other transactions required to be made, including such specific records as shall be agreed upon in writing between Bank and Trustee. Within 30 days following the close of each calendar year and within 30 days after the removal or resignation of Trustee, Trustee shall deliver to Bank a written account of its administration of the Trust during such year or during the period from the close of the last preceding year to the date of such removal or resignation, setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements and other transactions effected by it, including a description of all securities and investments purchased and sold with the cost or net proceeds of such purchases or sales (accrued interest paid or receivable being shown separately), and showing all cash, securities and other property held in the Trust at the end of such year or as of the date of such removal or resignation, as the case may be.
Section 7. Responsibility of Trustee.
(a) Trustee shall act with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims, provided, however, that Trustee shall incur no liability to any person for any action taken pursuant to a direction, request or approval given by Bank which is contemplated by, and in conformity with, the terms of the Plan or this Trust and is given in writing by Bank. In the event of a dispute between Bank and a party, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve the dispute.
(b) If Trustee undertakes or defends any litigation arising in connection with this Trust, Bank agrees to indemnify Trustee against Trustee's costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) relating thereto and to be primarily liable for such payments.
(c) Trustee may consult with legal counsel (who may also be counsel for Bank generally) with respect to any of its duties or obligations hereunder. Bank shall pay the fees of all legal counsel so hired.
(d) Trustee may hire agents, accountants, actuaries, investment advisors, financial consultants or other professionals to assist it in performing any of its duties or obligations hereunder. Bank shall pay the fees of all professionals so hired.
(e) Trustee shall have, without exclusion, all powers conferred on Trustees by applicable law, unless expressly provided otherwise herein, provided, however, that if an insurance policy is held as an asset of the Trust, Trustee shall have no power to name a beneficiary of the policy other than the Trust, to assign the policy (as distinct from conversion of the policy to a different form) other than to a successor Trustee, or to loan to any person the proceeds of any borrowing against such policy.
(f) Notwithstanding any powers granted to Trustee pursuant to this Trust Agreement or to applicable law, Trustee shall not have any power that could make the beneficiaries of this Trust associates in a joint enterprise for the conduct of business for profit, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-4 of the Procedure and Administrative Regulations promulgated pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.
Section 8. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee.
Bank shall pay all administrative and Trustee's fees and expenses.
Section 9. Resignation and Removal of Trustee.
(a) Trustee may resign at any time by written notice to Bank, which shall be effective 30 days after receipt of such notice unless Bank and Trustee agree otherwise.
(b) Trustee may be removed by Bank on 10 days notice or upon shorter notice accepted by Trustee.
(c) Upon a Hostile Change in Control, as defined herein, Executive or his
beneficiaries shall appoint an independent bank trust department or another
independent party that may be granted corporate trustee powers under state law,
as trustee of the Trust. Upon receipt from a successor Trustee of its written
acceptance of appointment in which the successor Trustee agrees to be bound by
the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Bank will immediately transfer to such
successor Trustee the assets of the Trust. No action taken pursuant to this
Section 9(c) will create on behalf of Executive or his beneficiaries any
preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the
Trust and such assets will continue to be subject to the claims of Bank's
general creditors under federal and state law in the event of Insolvency, as
defined in Section 3(a) herein. A Trustee named by Executive or his
beneficiaries pursuant to this Section 9(c) may not be removed by Bank.
(d) If Trustee resigns or is removed within 15 years after a Change in Control, as defined herein, and Executive is entitled to any further benefits under the Trust, Executive or his beneficiaries shall appoint an independent bank trust department or another independent party that may be granted corporate trustee powers under state law, as trustee of the Trust within five days after such Trustee Resignation.
(e) Upon resignation or removal of Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee, all assets shall subsequently be transferred to the successor Trustee. The transfer shall be completed within 30 days after receipt of notice of resignation, removal or transfer, unless Bank and Executive agree to extend the time limit.
(f) If Trustee resigns or is removed, a successor shall be appointed, in accordance with Section 10 hereof, by the effective date of resignation or removal under subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 9. If no such appointment has been made, Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor or for instructions. All expenses of Trustee in connection with the proceeding shall be allowed as administrative expenses of the Trust.
Section 10. Appointment of Successor.
If Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with Section 9(a), (b) or
(d) hereof, Executive may appoint any third party, such as a bank trust
department or other party that may be granted corporate trustee powers under
state law, as a successor to replace Trustee upon resignation or removal. The
appointment shall be effective when accepted in writing by the new Trustee, who
shall have all of the rights and powers of the former Trustee, including
ownership rights in the Trust assets. The former Trustee shall execute any
instrument necessary or reasonably requested by Bank or the successor Trustee to
evidence the transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment shall conflict with the terms of the Agreement or shall make the Trust revocable after it has become irrevocable in accordance with Section 1(b) hereof.
(b) The Trust shall not terminate until the date on which Plan participants and their beneficiaries are no longer entitled to benefits pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Upon termination of the Trust any assets remaining in the Trust shall be returned to Bank.

The Applicable Interest Rate is the rate or rates that would be used by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for the purposes of determining the present value of a lump sum distribution on termination of a qualified retirement plan (the "PBGC Rate"), determined as of the first day of the calendar year in which the distribution is made.

Equivalent of a benefit on or after the change, with respect to the Executive on
the date of change, shall be determined as the greater of (a) the Actuarial

either of the Applicable Entities was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the directors of either of the Applicable Entities then still
in office who were directors of either of the Applicable Entities at the
beginning of any such period; (d) removal by the stockholders of all or any
of the incumbent directors of either of the Applicable Entities other than

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have exclusive power to select the key employees to be granted Performance Bonus Units, to determine the number of Performance Bonus Units to be granted to each key employee selected and to determine the time or times when Performance Bonus Units will be granted; provided, however, that the individuals designated for participation will be from a select group of management or highly compensated employees. The authority granted to the Committee by the preceding sentence will be exercised based upon recommendations received from the management of the Company.
The Committee shall have authority to interpret the Plan, to adopt and revise rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the conditions subject to which any awards may be made or payable, and to make any other determinations which it believes necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Determinations by the Committee shall be made by a majority vote. All determinations of the Committee must be made in the good faith exercise of the duties of the Committee members under the Plan and must have a sound, rational basis, which such determinations, and the basis therefor, must be recorded in writing and maintained by the Committee.
ARTICLE III
GRANTS
Section 3.1 Performance Bonus Units shall be granted to such key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries as the Committee shall determine. The maximum number of Performance Bonus Units that may be awarded under the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 3,345,932 units. (The original number of Performance Bonus Units available to be awarded was 1,000,000, which number has been adjusted to reflect adjustments pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof.) If any Performance Bonus Unit awarded under the Plan shall be forfeited or canceled, such Performance Bonus Unit may again be awarded under the Plan. Performance Bonus Units shall be granted at such time or times and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, in addition to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, as the Committee shall determine.

Section 4.1 Performance Bonus Units granted to a Participant shall be credited to a Performance Bonus Unit Account established and maintained for such Participant. The Account of a Participant shall be the record of Performance Bonus Units granted to him under the Plan, is solely for accounting purposes and shall not require a segregation of any Company assets. Each Performance Bonus Unit shall be valued by the Committee, in the manner provided in Article VII, as of the date of grant thereof. Each grant of Performance Bonus Units under the Plan to a Participant and the value of such Performance Bonus Units as of the date of grant shall be communicated by the Committee in writing to the Participant within 30 days after the date of grant.
ARTICLE V
VESTING OF PERFORMANCE BONUS UNITS
Section 5.1 Performance Bonus Units granted to a Participant shall become vested upon the earlier of (i) 15 days prior to the scheduled date of consummation of a Change in Control or (ii) if not announced, on the date of consummation of a Change in Control, or (iii) the Participant's termination of employment with the Company for reasons other than Cause within one year prior to a Change in Control.
ARTICLE VI
PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE BONUS UNITS
Section 6.1 Upon a Change in Control each Participant shall be
entitled to receive from the Company an amount, with respect to each
Performance Bonus Unit in the Participant's Account, determined as follows:
(i) the value (as determined by the Committee pursuant to Article VII) of
each Performance Bonus Unit in the Participant's Account, as of the date of
the Change in Control, (ii) reduced by the value (as determined pursuant to
Article VII) of such Performance Bonus Unit as of the date of grant thereof
to the Participant.
Section 6.2 Payment to a Participant of the amount set forth in
Section 6.1 for Performance Bonus Units shall be made 15 days prior to the
date of consummation of a Change in Control or, if a Change in Control
occurs without prior announcement or notice thereof, within ten days after
the Change in Control. Within 30 days after the Change in Control, the
Committee shall review the amount of any payments made pursuant to Article
VI and shall make any additional payments required if the amounts
previously paid were less than the amounts provided for in Section 6.1. In
the event a payment is made to a Participant as the result of an
announcement constituting a Change of Control and the transaction described
in such announcement is not consummated, such payment shall constitute a
loan by Company to the Participant, payable to Company upon demand, with
interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Code
commencing as of the date of payment by Company of such amount. The Company
will pay a Participant a "tax gross-up payment" in respect of any taxes
incurred by the Participant with respect to such loan. For purposes of this
Section, the term "tax gross-up payment" means an amount such that, after
the payment of taxes on such tax gross-up payment, there remains a balance
sufficient to pay the taxes being reimbursed. For purposes of this Section,
the term "taxes" includes taxes, penalties and interest imposed by any
taxing authority.
Section 6.3 In the event the benefits paid to the Participant under this Plan or any other plan or agreement are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Excise Tax"), then the Company will pay to the Participant, within 10 days after the date the Excise Tax is determined to be due, an additional amount ("Gross Up") such that the net amount retained by the Participant after deduction of (i) any Excise Tax on the benefits under the Plan and any other benefits subject to the Excise Tax, and (ii) any Federal, State and local taxes and Excise Tax upon the payments provided for in this Section 6.3, shall be equal to the benefits under the Plan. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross Up, the Participant shall be deemed to pay Federal, State and local taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the calendar year in which the payment of the benefits under the Plan are to be made. State and local taxes shall be determined based upon the state and locality of the Participant's domicile upon a Change in Control and such other taxes payable to any other state or locality. The determination of whether such Excise Tax is payable and the amount thereof shall be based upon the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company and acceptable to the Participant. If such opinion is not finally accepted by the Internal Revenue Service upon audit, then appropriate adjustments shall be computed (without interest but with Gross Up, if applicable) by such tax counsel based upon the final amount of the Excise Tax so determined. The adjusted amount shall be paid by the appropriate party in one lump cash sum within 30 days of such computation.
ARTICLE VII
VALUATION OF PERFORMANCE BONUS UNITS
Section 7.1 Except as provided in Section 7.2, for all purposes of the Plan, the value of a Performance Bonus Unit on a date of grant pursuant to Section~3.1 or upon the date of a Change in Control pursuant to Section~6.1 shall mean the closing price for shares of Company common stock on the applicable date as reported on the NASDAQ or such other system as may supersede it, and, if no such price is reported for the day of grant, the value of a Performance Bonus Unit shall be determined by reference to such price on the next preceding day on which such price was reported. If the Stock is listed on an established stock exchange or exchanges, the value of a Performance Bonus Unit shall be deemed to be the closing price for shares of Company common stock on the applicable date on such stock exchange or exchanges or, if no sale of Stock has been made on any stock exchange that day, the value of a Performance Bonus Unit shall be determined by reference to such price for the next preceding day on which a sale occurred. In the event that no such price is available, then the value of a Performance Bonus Unit shall be determined by the Committee in good faith.
Section 7.2 In the case of a Change in Control defined in Section
1.3(b) herein, the value of a Performance Bonus Unit on an applicable
determination date will be based upon the value of the consideration
received or to be received by shareholders of the Company in connection
with such Change in Control. Within 30 days after the Change in Control,
the Companies shall review the amount of any payments made pursuant to
Section 6 and shall make any additional payments required.
ARTICLE VIII
CHANGES IN CAPITAL AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE
Section 8.1 In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company by reason of an issuance of additional shares, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, stock dividend or similar transaction, the Committee shall proportionately adjust, in an equitable manner, the number of Performance Bonus Units held by Participants under the Plan. The foregoing adjustment shall be made in a manner that will cause the relationship between the aggregate appreciation in outstanding common stock and earnings per share of the Company and the increase in value of each Performance Bonus Unit granted hereunder to remain unchanged as a result of the applicable transaction.
ARTICLE IX
NONTRANSFERABILITY
Section 9.1 Performance Bonus Units granted under the Plan, and any rights and privileges pertaining thereto, may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

ARTICLE XII
CLAIMS
Section 12.1 If a claim for benefits under the Plan is denied, the Committee will provide a written notice of the denial setting forth the specific reasons for the denial, a description of any additional material or information necessary for a claimant to perfect a claim, an explanation of why such material or information is necessary and appropriate and information as to the steps to be taken for the claim to be submitted for review. A claimant may request a review of a denial. Such request should be submitted to the Committee in writing, within 60 days after receipt of the denial notice stating the reasons for requesting the review. A claimant may review pertinent documents and submit issues and comments in writing. A decision will be made on the review of the denial of a claim not later than 60 days after the Committee's receipt of a request for review unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible but not later than 120 days after receipt of a request for review, provided that the claimant is given written notice of the extension of time within the original 60 day period. The decision on review will be in writing to claimant and shall include specific reasons for the decision.
ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 3.4. Incentive Awards that were automatically deferred under the
Plan prior to January 1, 2002, pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Plan as then in
effect, will be accounted for through a separate subaccount of the Participant's
Deferred Compensation Account and will be credited with interest as provided in
Section 4.3 of the Plan. Amounts in such subaccount will become payable in the
earliest calendar year in which (i) the payment of such deferred amount (and
interest thereon), together with other compensation to be paid to the
Participant and reportable on the Participants Form W-2, is not expected to
exceed the Section 162(m) limitation, or (ii) the Section 162(m) limitation is
no longer applicable to compensation paid to the Participant. Deferred Incentive
Awards, and earnings thereon, which become payable under this Section 3.4 will
be paid in the order such Incentive Awards were deferred.
Section 3.5. (a) In the event the federal, state or local taxes in effect on the date a deferred Incentive Award is paid to a Participant exceed the federal, state or local taxes in effect on the date the Incentive Award was initially deferred pursuant to Section 3.4 and Section 4.5, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an additional lump sum cash payment sufficient to place the Participant in the same after-tax position if payment of such deferred Incentive Award (and earnings thereon) had been subject to the federal, state and local taxes that were in effect on the date of the initial deferral. Such lump sum payment will be made at the same time the deferred Incentive Award is paid to the Participant.
(b) In the event the federal, state or local taxes in effect on the date a deferred Incentive Award is paid to a Participant are lower than the federal, state or local taxes in effect on the date the Incentive Award was initially deferred pursuant to Section 3.4 and Section 4.5, the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account will be reduced by an amount necessary to place the Participant in the same after-tax position if payment of such deferred Incentive Award (and earnings thereon) had been subject to the federal, state and local taxes that were in effect on the date of the initial deferral. Such reduction will made immediately prior to the time the deferred Incentive Award is paid to the Participant.
ARTICLE IV
DEFERRAL OF INCENTIVE AWARDS AND TERMINATION BENEFITS
Section 4.1. On or before December~31, a Participant may elect in writing to defer receipt of all or a specific part of the Incentive Award that the Participant may earn the following Plan Year. Such deferral election continues in effect from Plan Year to Plan Year unless the Participant amends or terminates his deferral election by written request. Any amendment or termination of a deferral election will first become effective for the Incentive Award earned during the Plan Year commencing after the receipt of such written request.
Section 4.2. The Bank will establish a Deferred Compensation Account for each Participant who elects to defer all or part of an Incentive Award for any Plan Year. Incentive Awards deferred by a Participant pursuant to this Article IV will be credited to the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account as of the date the Incentive Award would have been payable to the Participant but for his deferral election. Such Deferred Compensation Account will be for bookkeeping purposes only.
Section 4.3. A Participant's Deferred Compensation Account will be credited at the end of each calendar quarter with an amount calculated by multiplying the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account as of the first day of the calendar quarter by a rate equal to one-fourth of the greater of (i)~6%, or (ii)~the ten-year U.S. Treasury Bond rate on the last business day of the quarter.
Section 4.4. In the event that the Internal Revenue Service determines, and it is ultimately sustained either by a court of competent jurisdiction, by settlement or otherwise, that all or a portion of the benefits payable under the Plan will be subject to federal income tax prior to distribution of such benefits, the Bank will distribute to the Participant an amount sufficient to pay the tax liability. In addition, the Bank shall pay to the Participant an additional amount sufficient to pay interest and penalties, if any, on the amount of said tax liability. The amount of interest and penalties paid to the Participant shall not be a charge against the Participant's account hereunder.
Section 4.5 Payment of termination benefits, as defined under a
Participant's employment agreement, will automatically be deferred to the extent
that such payment, together with a Participant's other compensation for the
calendar year, as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code, is expected to exceed
the Code Section 162(m) limitation on deductible compensation paid to the
Participant. The date of the initial deferral will be the date the termination
benefits would have been paid to the Participant, but for the provisions of this
Section 4.5. Such deferred amount will be credited to a separate subaccount of
the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account and will be credited with
interest as provided in Section 4.3 of the Plan. Any amount deferred pursuant to
this Section 4.5 will become payable in the earliest calendar year in which (i)
the payment of such deferred amount (and interest thereon), together with the
Participant's other compensation for the calendar year as defined in Code
Section 162(m), does not exceed the Code Section 162(m) limitation, or (ii) the
Section 162(m) limitation is no longer applicable to compensation paid to the
Participant.
ARTICLE V
PAYMENT OF DEFERRED INCENTIVE AWARDS
Section 5.1. Upon termination of employment of a Participant for any reason, Participant's Deferred Compensation Amount will be payable to the Participant or Participant's Beneficiary in a single lump sum within 10 days after termination of employment. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a Participant's Deferred Compensation Amount shall be payable to the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary in a single lump sum 15 days prior to the date of consummation of a Change in Control or, if a Change in Control occurs without prior announcement or notice thereof, within 10 days after the Change in Control. In the event a payment is made to a Participant as the result of an announcement constituting a Change of Control and the transaction described in such announcement is not consummated, such payment shall constitute a loan by Company to the Participant, payable to Company upon demand, with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Code commencing as of the date of payment by Company of such amount. The Company will pay a Participant a "tax gross-up payment" in respect of any taxes incurred by the Participant with respect to such loan. For purposes of this Section, the term "tax gross-up payment" means an amount such that, after the payment of taxes on such tax gross-up payment, there remains a balance sufficient to pay the taxes being reimbursed. For purposes of this Section, the term "taxes" includes taxes, penalties and interest imposed by any taxing authority.
Section 5.2. Upon the death of a Participant, the Participant's Deferred Compensation Account will be payable to the Participant's Beneficiary within 30 days after written evidence of death is provided to the Bank.
Section 5.3. No inservice withdrawals are permitted except that the Committee or its designate, in its sole and absolute discretion, may permit withdrawals by a Participant of any amount from such Participant's Deferred Compensation Account if the Committee or its designate determines, in its discretion, that such funds are needed by the Participant due to serious and immediate financial hardship from an unforeseeable emergency. Serious and immediate financial hardship to the Participant must result from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or a dependent, loss of property due to casualty, or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising from events beyond the control of the Participant. A distribution based upon such financial hardship cannot exceed the amount necessary to meet such immediate financial need, including federal, state and local taxes on the distribution. In addition, the Committee or its designate may impose suspension of a Participant's deferrals into the Plan or other penalties as a condition of such withdrawals.

WHEREAS, the Companies and the Executive desire to amend and restate the Agreement in its entirety, effective as of December 31, 2001;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, effective as of December 31, 2001, as provided below:
1. Engagement. The Companies agree to engage the Executive and the Executive agrees to serve the Companies as an Executive.
2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall continue until December 31, 2004. Beginning on January~1, 2005, on January 1 of each and every third year thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall be extended for an additional three year period, automatically, unless the Executive is notified 180 days in advance by the method set forth in Section 11 herein to the contrary ("Nonrenewal Notice"). Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed to extend the Executive's right to employment beyond the age of 70 years or the then mandatory retirement age in effect, whichever shall be greater.
3. Purpose and Effect. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide Termination Benefits, as defined in Section~9 hereof, in the event of a Termination, as defined in Section~8 hereof.
4. Services. The Executive shall exert Executive's best efforts and devote substantially all of Executive's time and attention to the affairs of the Companies. The Executive shall perform the duties which are generally assigned to executives in similar positions in corporations of similar size as the Companies. The Executive shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer.
5. Compensation. For purposes of this Agreement, Annual Compensation shall be deemed to include the Executive's Annual Base Salary, plus any amount payable pursuant to the Executive Officer Incentive Plan. The Executive shall be paid by the Companies the Annual Base Salary provided on Schedule~A attached hereto, which Annual Base Salary shall be paid biweekly. Thereafter, Annual Compensation shall be negotiated between the parties hereto and shall be deemed a part of this Agreement, provided, however, that Annual Base Salary shall not be less than the immediately preceding calendar year. In the event of a Change in Control the Incentive Award payable pursuant to the Executive Officer Incentive Plan shall not be reduced as a result of charges taken in connection with or as a result of the Change in Control.
6. Retirement and Pension. As further compensation for the services of the Executive:
(a) The Executive shall be allowed to participate fully in any disability, death benefit, retirement, or pension plans maintained by the Companies, pursuant to the terms of such plans. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any of the terms of or conditions precedent to participation in such plans; and
(b) Upon termination of the Executive's employment due to retirement
(defined as the earliest retirement date applicable to the Executive under the
Retirement Plan of Trustco Bank, National Association) or Disability (as defined
herein), the Companies shall, for the longer of the life of the Executive or the
life of the Executive's spouse, provide, at no charge or premium, to the
Executive and Executive's family (which shall include the Executive's spouse and
the Executive's children for so long as the children meet the status
requirements as set forth by the medical and health insurance providers) the
medical and health insurance benefits (including dental and prescription drug
benefits) substantially similar to those which Executive and Executive's family
were receiving immediately prior to Executive's Termination by the Companies
under the Companies' medical insurance plan and Executive Medical Reimbursement
Plan, provided, however, that the combined benefits shall not be less than those
Executive is receiving as of the date hereof, and shall not be modified without
the Executive's consent. The Companies shall provide to the Executive the life
insurance provided to similarly situated retirees by the Companies under the
Companies' insurance plan. The obligations of the Companies pursuant to this
subsection (b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. For purposes of
this Agreement, the term "Disability" means a mental or physical condition which
(i)~in the opinion of a physician mutually agreed upon by the boards of
directors of the Companies and the Executive, will prevent the Executive from
carrying out the material job responsibilities or duties to which the Executive
was assigned at the time the disability was incurred, and (ii)~is expected to
last for an indefinite duration or a duration of more than six months.
7. Termination of Employment.
(a) If (i)~there shall be a Termination (as defined in Section 8 hereof) of
the Executive from either of the Companies for any reason other than Good Cause
(as hereinafter defined) or retirement at the mandatory retirement age and
(ii)~such Termination is within 12 months prior to, or within two years after, a
Change in Control (as defined in subsection (b) of this Section) of either of
the Companies, then the Executive shall receive upon such Termination the
Termination Benefits set forth herein. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good
Cause" shall be limited to Executive's commission of an act of fraud,
embezzlement or theft constituting a felony against either of the Companies as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or an unequivocal
admission by the Executive.
(b) A "Change in Control" of either of TrustCo or the Bank (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Applicable Entities") means any of the
following events: (i)~any individual, corporation (other than any of the
Companies), partnership, trust, association, pool, syndicate, or any other
entity or group of persons acting in concert becomes the beneficial owner, as
that concept is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of securities of either of
the Applicable Entities possessing 20% or more of the voting power for the
election of directors of either of the Applicable Entities; (ii)~there shall be
consummated any consolidation, merger or other business combination involving
either of the Applicable Entities or the securities of either of the Applicable
Entities in which holders of the voting securities of either of the Applicable
Entities immediately prior to such consummation own, as a group, immediately
after such consummation, voting securities of either of the Applicable Entities
(or, if either of the Applicable Entities does not survive such transaction,
voting securities of the entity or entities surviving such transaction) having
60% or less of the total voting power in an election of directors of either of
the Applicable Entities (or such other surviving entity or entities);
(iii)~during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constitute the directors of either of the Applicable
Entities cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless
the election, or nomination for election by either of the Applicable Entities'
shareholders, of each new director of either of the Applicable Entities was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of either of the
Applicable Entities then still in office who were directors of either of the
Applicable Entities at the beginning of any such period; (iv)~removal by the
stockholders of all or any of the incumbent directors of either of the
Applicable Entities other than a removal for cause; and (v)~there shall be
consummated at any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction
or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all, of the assets
of either of the Applicable Entities to a party which is not controlled by or
under common control with either of the Applicable Entities.
(c) In the event of an announcement, including but not limited to, a press release, public statement, or filing with federal or state securities regulators, of a transaction that would constitute a Change in Control, the Executive may, in the Executive's sole discretion, notify the Companies that Executive will terminate employment as of the scheduled date of consummation of the Change in Control, and, in such event the Executive shall be paid, and shall otherwise commence receiving, the Termination Benefits (as provided in Section 9 hereof) no later than 15 days prior to the scheduled date of consummation of the Change in Control. Within 30 days after the Change in Control, the Companies shall review the amount of any payments made pursuant to this Section 7 and shall make any additional payments required if the amounts previously paid were less than the amounts provided for in Section 9 hereof. In the event a payment is made to Executive as the result of an announcement constituting a Change of Control and the transaction described in such announcement is not consummated, such payment shall constitute a loan by Company to the Executive, payable to Company upon demand, with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Code commencing as of the date of payment by Company of such amount. The Company will pay Executive a "tax gross-up payment" in respect of any taxes incurred by the Executive with respect to such loan. For purposes of this Section, the term "tax gross-up payment" means an amount such that, after the payment of taxes on such tax gross-up payment, there remains a balance sufficient to pay the taxes being reimbursed. For purposes of this Section, the term "taxes" includes taxes, penalties and interest imposed by any taxing authority.
(d) Notice of Termination shall be communicated by the terminating party to the other parties to this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 hereof.
8. Termination. Termination shall include, but is not limited to: (i)~any reduction in the Executive's Annual Base Salary or executive incentive compensation, Disability, death or pension benefits (unless such reductions shall have been applied to all Bank employees as a part of a validly adopted plan of cost containment), or (ii)~any change in the reporting duties of the Executive so that the Executive is no longer reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer or (iii) any reduction in Executive's duties, as determined by Executive in Executive's sole discretion, such that Executive's duties as so reduced are not appropriate to or commensurate with the Executive's position as Senior Vice President, or (iv)~either Companies' relocation or a change in the Executive's base location, or (v)~a Nonrenewal Notice given pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, or (vi)~the unilateral election of the Executive to terminate this Agreement. Such election shall be communicated to the Companies pursuant to Section 11 hereof.
9. Termination Benefits. The following benefits shall be Termination Benefits:
(a) The Companies shall pay to the Executive the Executive's full compensation through the effective date of his Termination at the rate in effect at the time notice of Termination is given or at the time of Termination, if earlier, and in addition
(b) Unless otherwise provided for in Section 7(c) hereof, the Companies
shall pay to the Executive within 10 days of Termination a lump sum amount equal
to 2.99 times the Executive's Annual Compensation then in effect, provided,
however (and subject to Section 7(c)), that if the payment of the Termination
Benefits, together with the Executive's other compensation for the calendar year
(as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) is expected to
exceed the limitation on deductible compensation set forth in Section 162(m),
the payment of Termination Benefits will automatically be deferred under the
Trustco Bank Executive Officer Incentive Plan and will not become payable until
(i) the earliest calendar year in which the payment of such deferred amount (and
interest thereon), together with the Executive's other compensation for the
calendar year (as defined in Section 162(m)) is not expected to exceed the
Section 162(m) limitation, or (ii) the Section 162(m) limitation is no longer
applicable to compensation paid to the Executive, and in addition
(c) The Companies shall pay to the Executive all benefits payable to the Executive under the Companies' retirement, executive incentive compensation, pension and deferred compensation plans, and in addition
(d) The Companies shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of such Termination, and in addition
(e) The Companies shall, for the longer of the life of the Executive or the life of the Executive's spouse, provide, at no charge or premium, to the Executive and Executive's family (which shall include the Executive's spouse and the Executive's children for so long as the children meet the status requirements as set forth by the medical and health insurance providers) the medical and health insurance benefits (including dental and prescription drug benefits) substantially similar to those which Executive and Executive's family were receiving immediately prior to Executive's Termination by the Companies under the Companies' medical insurance plan and the Executive Medical Reimbursement Plan, provided, however, that the combined benefits shall not be less than those Executive is receiving as of the date hereof, and shall not be modified without the Executive's consent. The Companies shall provide to the Executive the life insurance provided to similarly situated retirees by the Companies under the Companies' insurance plan, and in addition
(f) The Companies shall pay to the Executive no later than 15 days prior to
the scheduled date of consummation of the Change in Control, or, if a Change in
Control occurs without prior announcement or notice thereof, within 10 days
after the Change in Control, Executive's pro rata portion, as calculated as of
the date of a Change in Control, of the annual award under the Executive Officer
Incentive Plan and all other plans in which the Executive is a participant as of
the date of Notice of Termination. Within 30 days after the Change in Control,
the Companies shall review the amount of any payments made pursuant to this
Section 9 and shall make any additional payments required. In the event a
payment is made to Executive as the result of an announcement constituting a
Change of Control and the transaction described in such announcement is not
consummated, such payment shall constitute a loan by Company to the Executive,
payable to Company upon demand, with interest at the rate provided in Section
1274(d)(2)(B) of the Code commencing as of the date of payment by Company of
such amount. The Company will pay Executive a "tax gross-up payment" in respect
of any taxes incurred by the Executive with respect to such loan. For purposes
of this Section, the term "tax gross-up payment" means an amount such that,
after the payment of taxes on such tax gross-up payment, there remains a balance
sufficient to pay the taxes being reimbursed. For purposes of this Section, the
term "taxes" includes taxes, penalties and interest imposed by any taxing
authority, and in addition
(g) The Companies shall transfer any and all country club memberships owned by the Companies for the benefit of the Executive, to the Executive, and in addition
(h) The Companies shall transfer to the Executive the company car used by the Executive, as exists at the time of Termination, at book value.
(i) In the event the Termination Benefits paid to the Executive under this
Agreement or any other agreement are subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Excise Tax"), then the
Companies will pay to the Executive, at the time any of the Termination Payments
are first payable, or if later, within 10 days after the date the Excise Tax is
determined to be due, an additional amount ("Gross Up") such that the net amount
retained by the Executive after deduction of (i) any Excise Tax on the
Termination Benefits and any other benefits subject to the Excise Tax, and (ii)
any Federal, State and local taxes and Excise Tax upon the payments provided for
in this subsection (i), shall be equal to the Termination Benefits. For purposes
of determining the amount of the Gross Up, the Executive shall be deemed to pay
Federal, State and local taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the
calendar year in which the Termination Benefits are to be made. State and local
taxes shall be determined based upon the state and locality of the Executive's
domicile on Termination but taking into consideration all state and local taxes
payable on such an amount. The determination of whether such Excise Tax is
payable and the amount thereof shall be based upon the opinion of tax counsel
selected by the Companies and acceptable to the Executive. If such opinion is
not finally accepted by the Internal Revenue Service upon audit, then
appropriate adjustments shall be computed (without interest but with Gross Up,
if applicable) by such tax counsel based upon the final amount of the Excise Tax
so determined. The adjusted amount shall be paid by the appropriate party in one
lump cash sum within 30 days of such computation.
10. Indemnity.
(a) Companies shall indemnify the Executive against any claim, liability or expense incurred by the Executive as a result of the Executive's service as an officer, director, employee or agent of any of the Companies, or as a result of any other service on behalf of the Companies, or service at the request of the Companies as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise (including, but not limited to, any majority owned subsidiary of any of the Companies and any employee benefit plan of any of the Companies), to the maximum extent permitted by law and the charter and bylaws of the Companies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Companies shall indemnify the Executive if the Executive was or is a party (other than a party plaintiff suing on the Executive's own behalf or in the right of the Companies), or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including, but not limited to, an action by or in the right of the Companies) by reason of such services against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines (including any excise taxes assessed on the Executive with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by law and the charter and bylaws of the Companies.
(b) Expenses incurred by the Executive in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Companies in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Executive to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that the Executive is entitled to be indemnified by the Companies as authorized in or pursuant to this Section.
(c) The indemnification provided by this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Executive may be entitled under the charter or bylaws of the Companies or any statute, other agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Any indemnification rights provided pursuant to this Section shall continue as to the Executive after the Executive has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Companies and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the Executive.
11. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at the time when mailed at any general or branch United States Post Office enclosed in a certified post paid envelope and addressed to the address of the respective party stated below or to such changed address as such party may have fixed by notice.
To the Companies: TrustCo Bank Corp NY Trustco Bank, National Association 5 Sarnowski Drive Glenville, NY 12302
Provided, however, that any notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.
12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Companies, their successors and assigns, including without limitation, any person or entity which may acquire all or substantially all of either Company's assets or business or into which either Company may be consolidated or merged, and the Executive, as well as Executive's heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Executive may assign the right to payment under this Agreement, but not obligations under this Agreement.
13. Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
14. Complete Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior understandings and agreements between the parties, and may not be amended or modified orally, but only by a writing signed by the parties hereto.
15. Dispute Resolution. All expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Executive in connection with, or in prosecuting or defending, any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to, this Agreement shall be paid by the Companies.
16. Late Payments. If Companies fail to pay when due any amount provided under this Agreement, Companies shall pay to Executive interest on any outstanding amount, at an annual rate of 12%, compounded semi-annually.
17. Designation of Beneficiary. In the event that any amount payable to the Executive as provided by this Agreement remains outstanding upon the death of the Executive, the amount due shall be payable to a beneficiary as designated by the Executive, in the same manner as set forth by this Agreement, or if no beneficiary is named, to the trustee of the Executive's revocable living trust, and if none to the trustee of the Executive's testamentary trust, and if none to the personal representative of the Executive's estate.
18. Survival of Rights. Except as may be expressly provided herein, all of the Executive's rights under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Sections 6(b), 7 and 9 shall survive the Termination of the Executive and/or the termination of this Agreement.
19. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction is, as to such jurisdiction, ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition, unenforceability or nonauthorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction, unless the ineffectiveness of such provision would result in such a material change as to cause completion of the transactions contemplated hereby to be unreasonable.

Entities immediately prior to such consummation own, as a group, immediately
after such consummation, voting securities of either of the Applicable Entities

voting securities of the entity or entities surviving such transaction) having
60% or less of the total voting power in an election of directors of either of
the Applicable Entities (or such other surviving entity or entities);
(iii)~during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constitute the directors of either of the Applicable
Entities cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless
the election, or nomination for election by either of the Applicable Entities'
shareholders, of each new director of either of the Applicable Entities was

Within 30 days after the Change in Control, the Companies shall review the amount of any payments made pursuant to this Section 7 and shall make any additional payments required if the amounts previously paid were less than the amounts provided for in Section 9 hereof. In the event a payment is made to Executive as the result of an announcement constituting a Change of Control and the transaction described in such announcement is not consummated, such payment shall constitute a loan by Company to the Executive, payable to Company upon demand, with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Code commencing as of the date of payment by Company of such amount. The Company will pay Executive a "tax gross-up payment" in respect of any taxes incurred by the Executive with respect to such loan.

For purposes of this Section, the term "taxes" includes taxes, penalties and interest imposed by any taxing authority.
(d) Notice of Termination shall be communicated by the terminating party to the other parties to this Agreement pursuant to Section 11 hereof.
8. Termination. Termination shall include, but is not limited to: (i)~any reduction in the Executive's Annual Base Salary or executive incentive compensation, Disability, death or pension benefits (unless such reductions shall have been applied to all Bank employees as a part of a validly adopted plan of cost containment), or (ii)~any change in the reporting duties of the Executive so that the Executive is no longer reporting directly to the boards of directors of the Companies, or (iii) any reduction in Executive's duties, as determined by Executive in Executive's sole discretion, such that Executive's duties as so reduced are not appropriate to or commensurate with the Executive's position as President and Chief Executive Officer, or (iv)~either Companies' relocation or a change in the Executive's base location, or (v)~a Nonrenewal Notice given pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, or (vi)~the unilateral election of the Executive to terminate this Agreement. Such election shall be communicated to the Companies pursuant to Section 11 hereof.
9. Termination Benefits. The following benefits shall be Termination Benefits:
(a) The Companies shall pay to the Executive the Executive's full compensation through the effective date of his Termination at the rate in effect at the time notice of Termination is given or at the time of Termination, if earlier, and in addition
(b) Unless otherwise provided for in Section 7(c) hereof, the Companies
shall pay to the Executive within 10 days of Termination a lump sum amount equal
to 2.99 times the Executive's Annual Compensation then in effect, provided,
however (and subject to Section 7(c)), that if the payment of the Termination
Benefits, together with the Executive's other compensation for the calendar year
(as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) is expected to
exceed the limitation on deductible compensation set forth in Section 162(m),
the payment of Termination Benefits will automatically be deferred under the
Trustco Bank Executive Officer Incentive Plan and will not become payable until
(i) the earliest calendar year in which the payment of such deferred amount (and
interest thereon), together with the Executive's other compensation for the
calendar year (as defined in Section 162(m)) is not expected to exceed the
Section 162(m) limitation, or (ii) the Section 162(m) limitation is no longer
applicable to compensation paid to the Executive, and in addition
(c) The Companies shall pay to the Executive all benefits payable to the Executive under the Companies' retirement, executive incentive compensation, pension and deferred compensation plans, and in addition
(d) The Companies shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of such Termination, and in addition
(e) The Companies shall, for the longer of the life of the Executive or the life of the Executive's spouse, provide, at no charge or premium, to the Executive and Executive's family (which shall include the Executive's spouse and the Executive's children for so long as the children meet the status requirements as set forth by the medical or health insurance providers) the medical and health insurance benefits substantially similar to those which Executive and Executive's family were receiving immediately prior to Executive's Termination by the Companies under the Companies' medical insurance plan and the Executive Medical Reimbursement Plan, provided, however, that the combined benefits shall not be less than those Executive is receiving as of the date hereof, and shall not be modified without the Executive's consent. The Companies shall provide to the Executive the life insurance provided to similarly situated retirees by the Companies under the Companies' insurance plan, and in addition
(f) The Companies shall pay to the Executive no later than 15 days prior to
the scheduled date of consummation of the Change in Control, or, if a Change in
Control occurs without prior announcement or notice thereof, within 10 days
after the Change in Control, Executive's pro rata portion, as calculated as of
the date of a Change in Control, of the annual award under the Executive Officer
Incentive Plan and all other plans in which the Executive is a participant as of
the date of Notice of Termination. Within 30 days after the Change in Control,
the Companies shall review the amount of any payments made pursuant to this
Section 9 and shall make any additional payments required. In the event a
payment is made to Executive as the result of an announcement constituting a
Change of Control and the transaction described in such announcement is not
consummated, such payment shall constitute a loan by Company to the Executive,
payable to Company upon demand, with interest at the rate provided in Section
1274(d)(2)(B) of the Code commencing as of the date of payment by Company of
such amount. The Company will pay Executive a "tax gross-up payment" in respect
of any taxes incurred by the Executive with respect to such loan. For purposes
of this Section, the term "tax gross-up payment" means an amount such that,
after the payment of taxes on such tax gross-up payment, there remains a balance
sufficient to pay the taxes being reimbursed. For purposes of this Section, the
term "taxes" includes taxes, penalties and interest imposed by any taxing
authority, and in addition
(g) The Companies shall transfer any and all country club memberships owned by the Companies for the benefit of the Executive, to the Executive, and in addition
(h) The Companies shall transfer to the Executive the company car used by the Executive, as exists at the time of Termination, at book value.
(i) In the event the Termination Benefits paid to the Executive under this Agreement or any other agreement are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Excise Tax"), then the Companies will pay to the Executive, at the time any of the Termination Payments are first payable, or if later, within 10 days after the date the Excise Tax is determined to be due, an additional amount ("Gross Up") such that the net amount retained by the Executive after deduction of (i) any Excise Tax on the Termination Benefits and any other benefits subject to the Excise Tax, and (ii) any Federal, State and local taxes and Excise Tax upon the payments provided for in this subsection (i), shall be equal to the Termination Benefits. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross Up, the Executive shall be deemed to pay Federal, State and local taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the calendar year in which the Termination Benefits are to be made. State and local taxes shall be determined based upon the state and locality of the Executive's domicile on Termination but taking into consideration all state and local taxes payable on such an amount. The determination of whether such Excise Tax is payable and the amount thereof shall be based upon the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Companies and acceptable to the Executive. If such opinion is not finally accepted by the Internal Revenue Service upon audit, then appropriate adjustments shall be computed (without interest but with Gross Up, if applicable) by such tax counsel based upon the final amount of the Excise Tax so determined. The adjusted amount shall be paid by the appropriate party in one lump cash sum within 30 days of such computation.
10. Indemnity.
(a) Companies shall indemnify the Executive against any claim, liability or expense incurred by the Executive as a result of the Executive's service as an officer, director, employee or agent of any of the Companies, or as a result of any other service on behalf of the Companies, or service at the request of the Companies as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise (including, but not limited to, any majority owned subsidiary of any of the Companies and any employee benefit plan of any of the Companies), to the maximum extent permitted by law and the charter and bylaws of the Companies. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Companies shall indemnify the Executive if the Executive was or is a party (other than a party plaintiff suing on the Executive's own behalf or in the right of the Companies), or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including, but not limited to, an action by or in the right of the Companies) by reason of such services against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines (including any excise taxes assessed on the Executive with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by law and the charter and bylaws of the Companies.
(b) Expenses incurred by the Executive in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Companies in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Executive to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that the Executive is entitled to be indemnified by the Companies as authorized in or pursuant to this Section.
(c) The indemnification provided by this Section shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which the Executive may be entitled under
the charter or bylaws of the Companies or any statute, other agreement,
vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to
action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office. Any indemnification rights provided pursuant to this
Section shall continue as to the Executive after the Executive has ceased
to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Companies and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the
Executive.
11. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at the time when mailed at any general or branch United States Post Office enclosed in a certified post paid envelope and addressed to the address of the respective party stated below or to such changed address as such party may have fixed by notice:

To the Executive: Robert A. McCormick 16 Greenlea Drive Clifton Park, NY 12065
Provided, however, that any notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.
12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Companies, their successors and assigns, including without limitation, any person or entity which may acquire all or substantially all of either Company's assets or business or into which either Company may be consolidated or merged, and the Executive, as well as Executive's heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Executive may assign the right to payment under this Agreement, but not obligations under this Agreement.
13. Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
14. Complete Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior understandings and agreements between the parties, and may not be amended or modified orally, but only by a writing signed by the parties hereto.
15. Dispute Resolution. All expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Executive in connection with, or in prosecuting or defending, any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to, this Agreement shall be paid by the Companies.
16. Late Payments. If Companies fail to pay when due any amount provided under this Agreement, Companies shall pay to Executive interest on any outstanding amount, at an annual rate of 12%, compounded semi-annually.
17. Designation of Beneficiary. In the event that any amount payable to the Executive as provided by this Agreement remains outstanding upon the death of the Executive, the amount due shall be payable to a beneficiary as designated by the Executive, in the same manner as set forth by this Agreement, or if no beneficiary is named, to the trustee of the Executive's revocable living trust, and if none to the trustee of the Executive's testamentary trust, and if none to the personal representative of the Executive's estate.
18. Survival of Rights. Except as may be expressly provided herein, all of the Executive's rights under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Sections 6(b), 7 and 9 shall survive the Termination of the Executive and/or the termination of this Agreement.
19. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction is, as to such jurisdiction, ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition, unenforceability or nonauthorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, or affecting the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction, unless the ineffectiveness of such provision would result in such a material change as to cause completion of the transactions contemplated hereby to be unreasonable.

The grant of a Nonqualified Stock Option and, if appropriate, Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement between the Eligible Employee and the Company containing any terms and conditions specified by the Committee, but including the terms described in Section~8.
2. Incentive Stock Options may be granted to any Eligible Employee, at the time(s) and upon such terms and condition as may be selected by the Committee, subject, nevertheless to the following:
(a) The aggregate Fair Market Value, determined at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, of the shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries to which the provisions of Section~422 of the Code apply) shall not exceed $100,000.
(b) The grant shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement between the Company and the Eligible Employee containing any terms and conditions specified by the Committee, except that those terms and conditions must conform with Section~8 and must be consistent with the requirements for an "incentive stock option" as described in Code Section~22(b).
SECTION~8: TERMS OF OPTIONS AGREEMENT
All Option Agreements issued under this Plan must include terms that are consistent with the following:
1. The Participant shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares subject to the Stock Option, upon his exercise of that Option, at a price no less than 100% of the Stock's Fair Market Value at the date of the grant; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Shareholder-Employee, the option price is to be no less than 110% of that Fair Market Value.
2. At the option's exercise, the option price may be paid in cash or cash equivalent-that is, by certified check, bank draft or postal or express money orders made payable to the Company's order in U.S. dollars. Alternatively, in the Committee's sole discretion, the option price may be paid, in whole or in part, by the Participant's exchange of Stock previously acquired by him, based on that Stock's Fair Market Value at the date of exchange or via the simultaneous exercise of Stock Options and sale of the Stock acquired pursuant thereto. However, no Stock may be accepted in payment of the option price upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, if that Stock was acquired by the Participant's previous exercise of an Incentive Stock Option unless that Stock has been held by the Participant for more than two years after the date that previous Option was granted and more than one year after the date that previous Option was exercised.
3. The Option may not be exercisable after the earlier of the following dates:
(a) If (i)~the Option is an Incentive Stock Option but the Participant is not a Shareholder-Employee at the date of grant, or (ii)~the Option is not an Incentive Stock Option, the date 10~years after the date of grant;
(b) If the Participant is a Shareholder-Employee at the date of grant and the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, the date five years after the date of grant;
(c) If the Participant's employment terminates for reasons other than his death or Disability or retirement, the date three months after the date his employment terminates;
(d) If the Participant terminates employment as a result of Disability or retirement, the date described in Item~3(a) or 3(b), whichever is applicable;
(e) If the Participant dies, the date prescribed by the Committee, except that no Option shall be exercisable after the date described in Item~3(a) or 3(b) of Section~8, whichever is applicable.
If the Option is an Incentive Stock Option and the Participant's employment
terminates due to Disability or retirement, the tax treatment available pursuant
to Code Section~422 upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option will not be
available to a Participant who exercises any Incentive Stock Option more than
(a)~three months after the date of the termination of employment due to
retirement or (b)~twelve months after the date of termination of employment due
to Disability. If the Option is an Incentive Stock Option and the Participant
dies, the tax treatment available pursuant to Code Section~422 upon the exercise
of an Incentive Stock Option will not be available to the Participant's estate
or any person who acquires the Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of
the death of the Participant unless the Participant was eligible for such tax
treatment at the time of his death.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may further limit the period during which all or any portion of a Stock Option may be exercised and may accelerate the time at which an Option maybe exercised.
4. Acceleration and the immediate right to exercise options in full will occur upon a Change in Control of the Company, which is defined to include any one or more the following:
(a) any individual, corporation (other than TrustCo Bank Corp NY or Trustco Bank, National Association, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Companies" or Trustco Savings Bank), partnership, trust, association, pool, syndicate, or any other entity or group of persons acting in concert becomes the beneficial owner, as that concept is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of securities of either of the Companies possessing 20% or more of the voting power for the election of directors of either of the Companies; or
(b) there shall be consummated any consolidation, merger or other business combination involving either of the Companies or the securities of either of the Companies in which holders of voting securities immediately prior to such consummation own, as a group, immediately after such consummation, voting securities of either of the Companies (or, if either of the Companies does not survive such transaction, voting securities of the entity or entities surviving such transaction) having 60% or less of the total voting power in an election of directors of either of the Companies (or such other surviving entity or entities); or
(c) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the directors of either of the Companies cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or nomination for election by either of the Companies' shareholders, of each new director of either of the Companies was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of either of the Companies then still in office who were directors of either of the Companies at the beginning of any such period; or
(d) removal by the stockholders of all or any of the incumbent directors of either of the Companies other than a removal for cause; or
(e) there shall be consummated at any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of either of the Companies to a party which is not controlled by or under common control with either of the Companies; or
(f) an announcement of any of the events described in paragraphs (a) through (e) above, including but not limited to a press release, public statement or filing with federal or state regulators.
Upon exercise of an Option during the 30-day period prior to the
anticipated date of consummation of a Change in Control, the Participant
exercising the Option may, in lieu of the receipt of Stock upon the exercise of
the Option, elect by written notice to the Company to receive an amount in cash
equal to the excess of the aggregate Value (as defined below) of the shares of
Stock covered by the Option or portion thereof surrendered determined on the
date the Option is exercised, over the aggregate exercise price of the Option
(such excess is referred to herein as the "Aggregate Spread") which amount, in
the event of a Change in Control as described in (f) above, will be paid no
later than 15 days prior to the date of consummation of such Change in Control
and such election may be revoked up to that date; provided, however, and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if the end of such 30-day
period prior to the anticipated date of consummation of a Change in Control is
within six months of the date of grant of an Option held by a Participant who is
an officer of the Company (for purposes of Section~16(b) of the Exchange Act),
such Option shall be canceled in exchange for a cash payment to the Participant
equal to the Aggregate Spread on the day which is six months and one day after
the date of grant of such Option. As used in this Section~12(a)(iii) the term
"Value" means the higher of (i)~the highest Fair Market Value during the 30-day
period prior to the anticipated date of consummation of a Change in Control, and
(ii)~if the Change in Control is the result of a transaction or series of
transactions described in paragraphs~(a) or (b) above, the highest price per
share of the Stock paid in such transaction or series of transactions (which in
the case of paragraph~(b) shall be the highest price per share of the Stock as
reflected in a Schedule~13D by the person having made the acquisition). In the
event a payment is made to a Participant as the result of an announcement
constituting a Change of Control and the transaction described in such
announcement is not consummated, such payment shall constitute a loan by Company
to the Participant, payable to Company upon demand, with interest at the rate
provided in Section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Code commencing as of the date of
payment by Company of such amount. The Company will pay a Participant a "tax
gross-up payment" in respect of any taxes incurred by the Participant with
respect to such loan. For purposes of this Section, the term "tax gross-up
payment" means an amount such that, after the payment of taxes on such tax
gross-up payment, there remains a balance sufficient to pay the taxes being
reimbursed. For purposes of this Section, the term "taxes" includes taxes,
penalties and interest imposed by any taxing authority.
5. The Stock Option(s) and any related Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised during such Participant's lifetime, only by the Participant and, after his death, only by his heirs legatees or personal representatives who succeed to his interest under the Option Agreement. The Option Agreement, the Stock Options and the Stock Appreciation Rights issued under this Plan shall not be transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, in addition to non-transferable Stock Options, the Committee may grant Nonqualified Stock Options that are transferable, without payment of consideration, to (i)~revocable trusts for the benefit of immediate family members which qualify as grantor trusts for Federal income tax purposes, (ii)~by gift to immediate family members, and (iii)~to partnerships whose only partners are immediate family members. The Committee may also amend outstanding Nonqualified Stock Options to provide for such transferability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a transferable Nonqualified Stock Option is transferred as permitted herein, such Nonqualified Stock Option(s) may be exercised by such transferee. The transferee of a transferable Nonqualified Stock Option is subject to all conditions applicable to the transferable Nonqualified Stock Option prior to its transfer.
6. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by such individual during any calendar year (under all such plans of the individual's employer corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporation) shall not exceed $100,000.
7. The acceleration provisions of Section~8, Items~4 and 8 of the Plan shall override restrictions contained in Section~8, Item~6.
8. If a Participant's employment terminates by his death, Disability or retirement, the exercise of each Option shall accelerate and become exercisable in full upon such termination, and shall remain exercisable throughout the period permitted for exercise as described in Item~3 of this Section~8.
9. If a Participant dies during the period which he or she could have exercised an Option under Item~3 of Section~8 of the Plan, then the Option may be exercised by the executors or administrators of the Participant's estate, or by any person or persons who may have acquired the Option, directly from the Participant by bequest or inheritance within a period prescribed by the Committee after the Participant's death, except that no Option shall be exercisable after its expiration date as defined in Item~3(a) or 3(b) of Section~8, whichever is applicable.
SECTION~9: RECAPITALIZATION
The number of shares of Stock subject to this Plan, the number of shares of Stock covered by each outstanding Option (and any corresponding Stock Appreciation Rights), and the price per share in each Option, are to be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Company's common stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of those shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.
Subject to any required action by the Stockholders if the Company shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation, each outstanding Stock Option (and any corresponding Stock Appreciation Rights) shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of shares of stock subject to that Option would have been entitled. A dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a proposed sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving entity, shall cause each outstanding Option (and any corresponding stock Appreciation Rights) to terminate as of a date to be fixed by the Board; provided that no less than 30~days written notice of the date so fixed shall be given to each Optionee, and each Optionee shall have the right, during the period of 30~days preceding such termination, to exercise his option as to all or any part of the shares covered thereby, including shares as to which such option would not otherwise be exercisable, unless the parties to the transaction agree to substitute or assume the options.
The foregoing adjustments shall be made by the Committee. Fractional shares resulting from any adjustment in options pursuant to this Section~9 may be settled as the Committee or the Board (as the case may be) shall determine.
SECTION~10: GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS
No Option shall be exercisable, no Stock shall be issued, no certificate for shares of Stock shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan except in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. The Company shall have the right to rely on the opinion of its counsel as to such compliance. Any share certificate issued to evidence Stock for which an Option is exercised may bear such legends and statements as the Committee may deem advisable to assure compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. No Option shall be exercisable, no Stock shall be issued, no certificate for shares shall be delivered, and no payment shall be made under this Plan until the Company has obtained such consent or approval as the Committee may deem advisable from regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such matters.
SECTION~11: INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE
In addition to such other rights of indemnification that they may have as officers or directors, the Committee members shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorneys'fees actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the Plan's administration and the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reasons of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted thereunder. The Committee members are also to be indemnified against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided that settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee member is liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his/her duties; provided that within 60~days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding a Committee member shall in writing offer the Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.
SECTION~12: MISCELLANEOUS
The adoption of this Plan, its operation, or any documents describing or referring to this Plan (or any part thereof) shall not confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or in any way affect any right and power of the Company to terminate the employment of any employee at any time with or without assigning a reason thereof.
This Plan, insofar as it provides for grants, shall be unfunded, and the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by grants under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any person with respect to any grant under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations which may be created pursuant to this Plan. No such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company.
SECTION 13: WITHHOLDING
The Company shall deduct from any payment, or otherwise collect from the recipient, any taxes required to be withheld by federal, state or local governments in connection with any Stock Option. The recipient may elect, subject to approval by the Committee, to have shares of Stock withheld by the Company in satisfaction of such taxes, or to deliver other shares of stock owned by the recipient in satisfaction of such taxes. The number of shares to be withheld or delivered shall be calculated by reference to the Fair Market of the appropriate class or series of Stock on the date that such taxes are determined.
The Plan shall be administered in the State of New York and the validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan shall be determined solely in accordance with the laws of that State.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment and Restatement of the Plan to be executed on this 18th day of September, 2001.

(b) Subject to the terms of the Plan, and subject to review by the Board, the Committee shall have exclusive jurisdiction (i)~to determine the dates on which, or the time periods during which, the Option may be exercised, (ii)~to determine the purchase price of the shares subject to each Option in accordance with Section~8 of the Plan and (iii)~to prescribe the form, which shall be consistent with the Plan, of the instrument evidencing any Options granted under the Plan.
(c) Neither anything contained in the Plan or in any document under the Plan nor the grant of any Option under the Plan shall confer upon any Optionee any right to continue as a Director of the Company or limit in any respect the right of the Company shareholders to terminate the Optionee's directorship at any time and for any reason.
SECTION 10: NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS
No Option granted under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the lifetime of an Optionee the Option shall be exercisable only by such Optionee.
SECTION 11: TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS
(a) Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate on the date which is 10 years after the Grant Date.

(c) An Optionee or a transferee of an Option shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by his or her Option until the date the stock certificate is issued evidencing ownership of the shares. No adjustments shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary), whether in cash, securities or other property, or distributions or other rights, for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section~15 hereof.
SECTION 12: TERMINATION OF DIRECTORSHIP
If an Optionee's status as a Director ceases for any reason, any Option granted to him or her under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights under the Option shall cease, except:
(a) In the case of a Stock Option held by an Optionee that is not subject to Total and Permanent Disability, such Stock Option shall terminate 18 months after the termination of the Optionee's status as Director.
(b) In the case of a Stock Option held by an Optionee who is subject to Total and Permanent Disability, such Stock Option shall terminate upon its expiration date.
(c) In the case of the Optionee's death while serving as a director, such Stock Option shall terminate eighteen months after the date of death.
(d) The foregoing notwithstanding, no Option shall be exercisable after its expiration date.
SECTION 13: DEATH OF AN OPTIONEE
If an Optionee dies after ceasing to serve as a Director but within the period during which he or she could have exercised the Option under Section~12 of the Plan, then the Option may be exercised by the executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate, or by any person or persons who have acquired the Option directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance, within a period prescribed by the Committee after the Optionee's death, except that no Option shall be exercisable after its expiration date.
SECTION 14: MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL OF OPTIONS
Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options granted under the Plan or accept the surrender of outstanding Options (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and grant new Options in substitution therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may grant to an Optionee, if he or she is otherwise eligible and consents thereto, a new or modified Option in lieu of an outstanding Option for a number of shares, at an exercise price and for a term which are greater or lesser than under the earlier Option, or may do so by cancellation and regrant, amendment, substitution or otherwise, subject only to the general limitations and conditions of the Plan. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.
SECTION 15: CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION
(a) In the event that the shares of the Company, as presently constituted, shall be changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation (whether by reason of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares or otherwise) or if the number of such shares of stock shall be increased through the payment of a stock dividend, then, subject to the provisions of Subsection~(c) below, there shall be substituted for or added to each share of stock of the Company which was theretofore appropriated, or which thereafter may become subject to an Option under the Plan, the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities into which each outstanding share of the stock of the Company shall be so changed or for which each such share shall be exchanged or to which each such share shall be entitled, as the case may be. Outstanding Options shall also be appropriately amended as to price and other terms, as may be necessary to reflect the foregoing events.
(b) If there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding shares of the stock of the Company, or of any stock or other securities into which such stock shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, and if the Board or the Committee (as the case may be), shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in any Option which was theretofore granted or which may thereafter be granted under the Plan, then such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.
(c) A dissolution or liquidation of the Company or a merger or a consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, shall cause each outstanding Option to terminate, except to the extent that another corporation may and does in the same transaction assume and continue the option or substitute its own Options. In either event, the Board or the Committee (as the case may be) shall have the right to accelerate the time within which the Option may be exercised.
(d) Fractional shares resulting from any adjustment in Options pursuant to this Section~15 may be settled as the Board or the Committee (as the case may be) shall determine.
(e) To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Company such adjustments shall be made by the Committee, whose determination, which has a sound, rational basis, in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Company to each holder of an Option which shall have been so adjusted.
(f) The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge, to consolidate, to dissolve, to liquidate or to sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
SECTION 16: LISTING AND REGISTRATION OF SHARES
(a) No Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in part if at any time the Board or the Committee (as the case may be) shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Stock subject to such Option on any securities exchange or under any applicable law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Option or the issue of shares thereunder, unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.
(b) If a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of any Option granted under the Plan is not in effect at the time of exercise, as a condition of the issuance of the shares the person exercising such Option shall give the Committee a written statement, satisfactory in form and substance to the Committee, that he or she is acquiring the shares for his or her own account for investment and not with a view to their distribution. The Company may place upon any stock certificate for shares issuable upon exercise of such Option the following legend or such other legend as the Committee may prescribe to prevent disposition of the shares in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable law:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE "ACT") AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THEM UNDER THE ACT OR A WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
SECTION 17: MISCELLANEOUS
The Plan shall be administered in the State of New York and the validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan shall be determined solely in accordance with the laws of that State.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment and Restatement of the Plan to be executed on this 18th day of September, 2001.

All determinations of the Committee must be made in the good faith exercise of the duties of the Committee members under the Plan and must have a sound, rational basis, which such determinations, and the basis therefor, must be recorded in writing and maintained by the Committee.
ARTICLE III
GRANTS
Section 3.1 Performance Bonus Units shall be granted to each Director at such time or times as the Committee shall determine. The maximum number of Performance Bonus Units that may be awarded under the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 100,000 shares. If any Performance Bonus Unit awarded under the Plan shall be forfeited or canceled, such Performance Bonus Unit may again be awarded under the Plan. Performance Bonus Units shall be subject to such terms and conditions, in addition to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, as the Committee shall determine.
ARTICLE IV
PERFORMANCE BONUS UNITS
Section 4.1 Performance Bonus Units granted to a Director shall be credited to a Performance Bonus Unit Account established and maintained for such Director. The Account of a Director shall be the record of Performance Bonus Units granted to him under the Plan, is solely for accounting purposes and shall not require a segregation of any Company assets. Each Performance Bonus Unit shall be valued by the Committee, in the manner provided in Article VII, as of the date of grant thereof. Each grant of Performance Bonus Units under the Plan to a Director and the value of such Performance Bonus Units as of the date of grant shall be communicated by the Committee in writing to the Director within 30 days after the date of grant.
ARTICLE V
VESTING OF PERFORMANCE BONUS UNITS
Section 5.1 Performance Bonus Units granted to a Director shall become vested upon the earlier of (i) 15 days prior to the scheduled date of consummation of a Change in Control or (ii) if not announced, on the date of consummation of a Change in Control.
ARTICLE VI
PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE BONUS UNITS
Section 6.1 Upon a Change in Control each Director shall be entitled to receive from the Company an amount, with respect to each Performance Bonus Unit in the Director's Account, determined as follows: (i) the value (as determined by the Committee pursuant to Article VII) of each Performance Bonus Unit in the Director's Account, as of the date of the Change in Control, (ii) reduced by the value (as determined pursuant to Article VII) of such Performance Bonus Unit as of the date of grant thereof to the Director.
Section 6.2 Payment to a Participant of the amount set forth in Section 6.1 for Performance Bonus Units shall be made 15 days prior to the date of consummation of a Change in Control or, if a Change in Control occurs without prior announcement or notice thereof, within ten days after the Change in Control. Within 30 days after the Change in Control, the Committee shall review the amount of any payments made pursuant to Article VI and shall make any additional payments required if the amounts previously paid were less than the amounts provided for in Section 6.1. In the event a payment is made to a Participant as the result of an announcement constituting a Change of Control and the transaction described in such announcement is not consummated, such payment shall constitute a loan by Company to the Participant, payable to Company upon demand, with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Code commencing as of the date of payment by Company of such amount. The Company will pay a Participant a "tax gross-up payment" in respect of any taxes incurred by the Participant with respect to such loan. For purposes of this Section, the term "tax gross-up payment" means an amount such that, after the payment of taxes on such tax gross-up payment, there remains a balance sufficient to pay the taxes being reimbursed. For purposes of this Section, the term "taxes" includes taxes, penalties and interest imposed by any taxing authority.
Section 6.3 In the event the amounts paid to a Director under this Plan or any other plan or agreement pursuant to which the Director is entitled to payments are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Excise Tax"), then the Company will pay to the Director, at the time any of the amounts are first payable, or if later, within 10 days after the date the Excise Tax is determined to be due, an additional amount ("Gross Up") such that the net amount retained by the Director after deduction of (i) any Excise Tax on the amounts payable, and (ii) any Federal, State and local taxes and Excise Tax upon the payments provided for in this subsection (i), shall be equal to the amount payable under this Plan and any other plan or agreement pursuant to which the Director is entitled to payments. For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross Up, the Director shall be deemed to pay Federal, State and local taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation in the calendar year in which the amounts payable are to be paid. State and local taxes shall be determined based upon the state and locality of the Director's domicile on the date of payment but taking into consideration all state and local taxes payable on such an amount. The determination of whether such Excise Tax is payable and the amount thereof shall be based upon the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company and acceptable to the Director. If such opinion is not finally accepted by the Internal Revenue Service upon audit, then appropriate adjustments shall be computed (without interest but with Gross Up, if applicable) by such tax counsel based upon the final amount of the Excise Tax so determined. The adjusted amount shall be paid by the appropriate party in one lump cash sum within 30 days of such computation.
ARTICLE VII
VALUATION OF PERFORMANCE BONUS UNITS
Section 7.1 Except as provided in Section 7.2, for all purposes of the Plan, the value of a Performance Bonus Unit on a date of grant pursuant to Section~3.1 or upon a Change in Control pursuant to Section~6.1 will be an amount equal to the closing price for shares of Company common stock on the applicable date, as reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation ("NASDAQ") National Market System or such other system as may supersede it. If the applicable date is not a trading day for NASDAQ market makers, the price on the next preceding trading day will be used to determine the value of the Performance Bonus Unit.
Section 7.2 In the case of a Change in Control defined in Section 1.2(b) herein, the value of a Performance Bonus Unit on the date of the Change in Control will be based upon the value of the consideration received or to be received by shareholders of the Company in connection with such Change in Control.
ARTICLE VIII
CHANGES IN CAPITAL AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE
Section 8.1 In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company by reason of an issuance of additional shares, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, stock dividend or similar transaction, the Committee shall proportionately adjust, in an equitable manner, the number of Performance Bonus Units held by Directors under the Plan. The foregoing adjustment shall be made in a manner that will cause the relationship between the aggregate appreciation in outstanding common stock and earnings per share of the Company and the increase in value of each Performance Bonus Unit granted hereunder to remain unchanged as a result of the applicable transaction.
ARTICLE IX
NONTRANSFERABILITY
Section 9.1 Performance Bonus Units granted under the Plan, and any rights and privileges pertaining thereto, may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

The decision on review will be in writing to claimant and shall include specific reasons for the decision.
ARTICLE XIII

AMENDED AND RESTATED
TRUSTCO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
FOR DIRECTORS
September 18, 2001
AMENDED AND RESTATED
TRUSTCO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS
WHEREAS, on November~24, 1981, the Board of Directors of Trustco Bank, National Association (herein referred to as the "Bank") adopted the Trustco Bank Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"); and
WHEREAS, the Bank desires to amend and restate the Plan, effective as of September 18, 2001;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Bank hereby amends and restates the Plan in its entirety, effective as of September 18, 2001, to read as follows:
1. Any Director may elect on or before December 31 of any year to defer receipt of all or a specific part of his annual fees for the following calendar year, which election to defer fees continues from year to year unless the Director amends or terminates such election by written request or ceases to be a Director. In the event of a termination of an election, the amount already deferred by the Director cannot be paid to him until he ceases to be a Director.
2. The Bank will not fund its liability for deferred fees or interest thereon but general ledger accounts will be maintained, supported by memorandum accounts for each Director. The compensation deferred will be credited to the Director's deferred compensation account as of the date it would otherwise have been payable. A Director's deferred compensation account shall be credited at the end of each calendar quarter with a credit on the balance at the beginning of the quarter equal to the number of days in the quarter times one-fourth of the greater of (i)~ 6%, or (ii)~the ten-year U.S. Treasury Bond rate on the last business day of the quarter.
3. In the event a Director ceases to be a Director of the Bank, the entire balance of his deferred fees, including interest credited thereon, may, if directed by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, be paid immediately to the Director in a lump sum, or in annual installments over a period of not more than five years beginning with the first day of the calendar year immediately following the year in which the Director ceased to be a Director, or in payments equivalent to a life annuity. In addition, if Director ceases to be a Director within 12 months prior to a Change in Control (as defined herein), Director shall be paid the entire balance of his deferred fees, including interest credited thereon in a single lump sum 15 days prior to the date of consummation of a Change in Control or, if a Change in Control occurs without prior announcement or notice thereof, within 10 days after the Change in Control. In the event a payment is made to a Director as the result of an announcement constituting a Change of Control and the transaction described in such announcement is not consummated, such payment shall constitute a loan by Company to the Director, payable to Company upon demand, with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(d)(2)(B) of the Code commencing as of the date of payment by Company of such amount. The Company will pay Director a "tax gross-up payment" in respect of any taxes incurred by the Director with respect to such loan. For purposes of this Section, the term "tax gross-up payment" means an amount such that, after the payment of taxes on such tax gross-up payment, there remains a balance sufficient to pay the taxes being reimbursed. For purposes of this Section, the term "taxes" includes taxes, penalties and interest imposed by any taxing authority.
A "Change in Control" means any of the following events: (a) any individual, corporation (other than TrustCo Bank Corp NY or the Bank, hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Companies" or Trustco Savings Bank), partnership, trust, association, pool, syndicate, or any other entity or group of persons acting in concert becomes the beneficial owner, as that concept is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of securities of either of the Companies possessing 20% or more of the voting power for the election of directors of either of the Companies; (b) there shall be consummated any consolidation, merger or other business combination involving either of the Companies or the securities of either of the Companies in which holders of voting securities immediately prior to such consummation own, as a group, immediately after such consummation, voting securities of either of the Companies (or, if either of the Companies does not survive such transaction, voting securities of the entity or entities surviving such transaction) having 60% or less of the total voting power in an election of directors of either of the Companies (or such other surviving entity or entities); (c) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the directors of either of the Companies cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof unless the election, or nomination for election by either of the Companies' shareholders, of each new director of either of the Companies was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of either of the Companies then still in office who were directors of either of the Companies at the beginning of any such period; (d) removal by the stockholders of all or any of the incumbent directors of either of the Companies other than a removal for cause; and (e) there shall be consummated any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of either of the Companies to a party which is not controlled by or under common control with either of the Companies.
4. Upon the death of a Director, the balance of his account shall be payable to a beneficiary designated by him or her on the first day of the calendar year following the year in which he or she dies, in the same manner as set forth in the election filed by said Director, or if no beneficiary is named, to the trustee of the Director's revocable living trust, and if none of the trustee of the Director's testamentary trust, and if none to the personal representative of the Director's estate.
5. The right to receive payment of deferred compensation shall not be transferable or assignable by a Director or named beneficiary, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
6. The Board of Directors of the Bank reserves the right to amend, suspend or terminate this Plan at any time. However, no amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan may alter or impair any Director's rights previously granted under the Plan, without his consent.
7. In the event that it is determined by any taxing authority, and it is ultimately sustained either by a court of competent jurisdiction, by settlement or otherwise, that all or a portion of the benefits payable under the Plan will be subject to income tax prior to distribution of such benefits, the Bank will distribute to the Director an amount sufficient to pay the tax liability. In addition, the Bank shall pay to the Director an additional amount to pay interest and penalties, if any, on the amount of said tax liability. The amount of interest and penalties paid to the Director shall not be a charge against the Director's account hereunder.
8. All expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses) incurred by a Director in connection with, or in prosecuting or defending, any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Plan shall be paid by the Bank.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Bank has caused this amended and restated Plan to be executed this 18th day of September, 2001.

Exhibit E - Back Office Trust Services
The Exhibits set forth specific terms and conditions applicable to the Services and/or Products, and, where applicable, the Fiserv affiliate so performing.

Fiserv shall either issue a credit to Client or provide Client with an invoice for any additional fees or other charges owed. Fiserv may change the amount of Fees billed to reflect appropriate changes in actual use of Fiserv Services, and to reflect the annual increase in Fees as set forth in the Exhibits. Upon 120 days advance written notification to and acceptance by Client, Fiserv may increase its fees in excess of amounts listed in the Exhibits in the event that Fiserv implements major system enhancements to comply with changes in law, government regulation, or industry practices.
(b) Additional Charges. Fees for out-of-pocket expenses, such as telephone, microfiche, courier, and other charges incurred by Fiserv at Client's request for goods or services obtained by Fiserv on Client's behalf and at Client's request shall be billed to Client at cost plus the applicable Fiserv administrative fee as set forth in the Exhibits. Such out-of-pocket expenses may be changed from time to time upon notification of a fee change from a vendor/provider. Fiserv shall notify Client of such changes prior to Client incurring such expenses. The Fees do not include, and Client and Fiserv shall respectively be responsible for, furnishing transportation or transmission of information between Fiserv's service center(s), Client's site(s), and any applicable clearing house, regulatory agency, or Federal Reserve Bank, as specified in the Exhibits.

Fiserv reserves the right to make changes in Services, including but not limited to operating procedures, type of equipment or software resident at, and the location of Fiserv's service center(s). In no event may such changes disrupt the Services. Fiserv will provide Client at least 30 days prior written notice of any material change that affects Client's normal operating procedures, reporting, or service costs prior to implementation of such change, unless such changes are caused by changes in applicable law or regulation or are otherwise beyond Fiserv's control and, in either case, Fiserv cannot provide such written notice. Without Client's prior written consent, no such change in Services may increase the Fees.
(c) Communications Lines. After approval by Client, Fiserv shall order the installation of appropriate communication lines and equipment to facilitate Client's access to Services.

The information and data shall be provided in a format and manner approved by Fiserv. Client will provide at its own expense or procure from Fiserv all equipment, computer software, communication lines, and interface devices required to access the Fiserv System.

(ii) Fiserv Information. "Fiserv Information" means: (A) confidential plans, information, research, development, trade secrets, business affairs (including that of any Fiserv client, supplier, or affiliate), and other proprietary material of Fiserv that is marked with a restrictive legend, or if not so marked with such legend or is disclosed orally, is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure (and written confirmation thereof is promptly provided to Client); (B) Fiserv's proprietary computer programs, including custom software modifications, software documentation and training aids, and all data, code, techniques, algorithms, methods, logic, architecture, and designs embodied or incorporated therein (whether or not any such information is marked with a restrictive legend); and (C) any other information that Client reasonably ought to know is confidential.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict Recipient from the use of any ideas, concepts, know-how, or techniques contained in Information that are related to Recipient's business activities ("Residuals"), provided that in so doing, Recipient does not breach its obligations under this Section. However, this does not give Recipient the right to disclose the Residuals except as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

Client agrees not to attempt to circumvent the devices employed by Fiserv to prevent unauthorized access to the Fiserv System, including, but not limited to, alterations, decompiling, disassembling, modifications, and reverse engineering thereof.

7. Regulatory Agencies, Regulations and Legal Requirements. (a) Client
Files. Records maintained and produced for Client ("Client Files") may be
subject to examination by such Federal, state, or other governmental
regulatory agencies as may have jurisdiction over Client's business to the

A "Disaster" shall mean any unplanned interruption of the operations of or inaccessibility to Fiserv's service center in which Fiserv, using reasonable judgment, requires relocation of processing to a recovery location. Fiserv shall notify Client as soon as possible after Fiserv deems a service outage to be a Disaster. Fiserv shall move the processing of Client's standard services to a recovery location as expeditiously as possible and shall coordinate the cut-over to back-up telecommunication facilities with the appropriate carriers.

Client maintains responsibility for adopting a disaster recovery plan relating to disasters affecting Client's facilities and for securing business interruption insurance or other insurance necessary for Client's protection.
11. Termination. (a) Material Breach. Except as provided elsewhere in this Section 11, either party may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach by the other party not cured within 90 days following written notice stating, with particularity and in reasonable detail, the nature of the claimed breach.
(b) Failure to Pay. In the event any invoice remains unpaid by Client 30 days after due, or Client, except during the 1 year extension term described in Section 1, deconverts any data or information from the Fiserv System without prior written consent of Fiserv, Fiserv, at its sole option, may terminate this Agreement and/or Client's access to and use of Fiserv Services. Any invoice submitted by Fiserv shall be deemed correct unless Client provides written notice to Fiserv within 30 days of the invoice date specifying the nature of the disagreement.
(c) Remedies. Remedies contained in this Section 11 are cumulative and are in addition to the other rights and remedies available to either party under this Agreement, by law or otherwise.
(d) Defaults. If Client:
(i) defaults in the payment of any sum of money due in Section 11(b);
(ii) breaches this Agreement in any material respect or otherwise defaults in any material respect in the performance of any of its obligations in Section 11(a); or
(iii) commits an act of bankruptcy or becomes the subject of any proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy Code or becomes insolvent or if any substantial part of Client's property becomes subject to any levy, seizure, assignment, application, or sale for or by any creditor or governmental agency; then, in any such event, Fiserv may, upon written notice, terminate this Agreement and be entitled to recover from Client as liquidated damages an amount equal to the present value of all payments remaining to be made hereunder for the remainder of the initial term or any renewal term of this Agreement. For purposes of the preceding sentence, present value shall be computed using the "prime" rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal) in effect at the date of termination and "all payments remaining to be made" shall be calculated based on the average bills for the 3 months immediately preceding the date of termination. Client agrees to reimburse Fiserv for any expenses Fiserv may incur, including reasonable attorneys'fees, in taking any of the foregoing actions.
(e) Defaults. If Fiserv:
(i) breaches this Agreement in any material respect or otherwise defaults in any material respect in the performance of any of its obligations in Section 11(a); or
(ii) commits an act of bankruptcy or becomes the subject of any proceeding under the federal Bankruptcy Code or becomes insolvent or if any substantial part of Client's property becomes subject to any levy, seizure, assignment, application, or sale for or by any creditor or governmental agency;
then, in any such event, Client may, upon written notice, terminate this Agreement without the payment of an early termination fee.
(f) Convenience. Client may terminate this Agreement by paying a termination fee based on the remaining unused term of this Agreement, the amount to be determined by multiplying Client's average monthly invoice for each Fiserv Service received by Client during the preceding 12 months of the term (or if no monthly invoice has been received, the sum of the estimated monthly billing for each Fiserv Service to be received hereunder) by 80% times the remaining months of the term, plus any unamortized conversion fees or third party costs existing on Fiserv's books on the date of termination. Client understands and agrees that Fiserv losses incurred as a result of early termination of the Agreement would be difficult or impossible to calculate as of the effective date of termination since they will vary based on, among other things, the number of clients using the Fiserv System on the date the Agreement terminates. Accordingly, the amount set forth in the first sentence of this subsection represents Client's agreement to pay and Fiserv's agreement to accept as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) such amount for any such Client termination.
monthly invoice has been received, the sum of the estimated monthly billing for each Fiserv Service to be received hereunder) times the number of months below: ------------------- ------------------------------------ ------------------- ------------------------------------ 1st anniversary 24 ------------------- ------------------------------------ ------------------- ------------------------------------ 2nd anniversary 24 ------------------- ------------------------------------ ------------------- ------------------------------------ 3rd anniversary 18 ------------------- ------------------------------------ ------------------- ------------------------------------ 4th anniversary 12 ------------------- ------------------------------------ ------------------- ------------------------------------ 5th anniversary 50% of remaining term ------------------- ------------------------------------ |
(g) Return of Data Files. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Fiserv shall furnish to Client such copies of Client Files as Client may request in a Fiserv standard format along with such information and assistance as is reasonable and customary to enable Client to deconvert from the Fiserv System, provided, however, that Client consents and agrees and authorizes Fiserv to retain Client Files until (i) Fiserv is paid in full for (A) all Services provided through the date such Client Files are returned to Client; and (B) any and all other amounts that are due or will become due under this Agreement; (ii) Fiserv is paid its then standard rates for the services necessary to return such Client Files; (iii) if this Agreement is being terminated, Fiserv is paid any applicable termination fee pursuant to subsection (d) or (f) above; and (iv) Client has returned to Fiserv all Fiserv Information. Unless directed by Client in writing to the contrary, Fiserv shall be permitted to destroy Client Files any time after one year from the final use of Client Files for processing.
(h) Miscellaneous. Client understands and agrees that Client is responsible for the deinstallation and return shipping of any Fiserv-owned equipment located on Client's premises. Upon any expiration or termination of any term of this Agreement, Fiserv shall, at Fiserv's then current rates, give full cooperation and assistance to Client to assure an orderly and efficient transition of the Services to Client or to any third party selected by Client, which cooperation and assistance shall include, but not be limited to transfers of Client Files and customer account information, with any such information or data transfers being in a generally accepted format, such as a text or common delineated format, or in such other format mutually agreed by the parties.

In addition, as may be required by law or regulation, Fiserv provides, and shall during the term of this Agreement continue to provide, for periodic independent audits of its operations. Fiserv shall provide Client with a copy of such audits of the Fiserv service center providing Services within a reasonable time after its completion and shall charge each client a fee based on the pro rata cost of such audit. Fiserv shall also provide a copy of such audit to the appropriate regulatory agencies, if any, having jurisdiction over Fiserv's provision of Services. In addition to the foregoing, Client shall have the right to conduct audits upon reasonable advance notice of Back Office Services, and Fiserv and Client shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any deficiencies disclosed in any such audit. In addition, Fiserv agrees to cooperate with Client in resolving audit deficiencies raised with respect to Services.

Neither this Agreement nor any interest may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of by either party, without the other party's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

Downtime caused by reasons beyond Fiserv's control will not be considered in the statistics.
B. Report Availability. Fiserv's standard of performance for report availability shall be that, over a Measurement Period, 95% of all Critical Daily Information shall be available for remote printing or dispatch to the courier on time without significant errors. Critical Daily Information shall mean priority group reports that Fiserv and Client mutually agree in writing are necessary to account properly for the previous day's activity and properly notify Client of overdraft, NSF, teller differences exception report, or return items. The agreed upon Critical Daily Information shall be listed on an exhibit attached to the final conversion plan. On time delivery for Critical Daily Information shall be 7:00 am Eastern Time if delivered to Client's remote print facility and 8:30 am Eastern Time if delivered to Client by courier. A significant error is one that impacts Client's ability to account properly for the previous day's activity and/or account properly for overdraft, NSF, teller differences exception report, or return items. Actual performance will be calculated monthly by comparing the total number of reports scheduled to be available from Fiserv to the number of reports that were available on time and without error.
C. Response Time. Fiserv's standard of performance for response time shall be that the daily response time for 98% of transactions shall be to provide sub-second response time within the AS/400. Fiserv will log and retain a record of response time maintaining appropriate analytical reports. Fiserv will work with Client and third party vendors to ensure commercially reasonable response time.
D. Client Inquiries. All Client inquiries will be acknowledged by Fiserv within an average time of 1 hour of request. A plan for resolution of the inquiry will be completed by Fiserv within 24 hours of the inquiry unless a mutually agreeable time is accepted by Fiserv and Client.
E. Fiserv will monitor the T-1 between Fiserv and Client and will notify provider/vendor and Client immediately of any degradation or outage detected.
F. Penalties Resulting in Right to Terminate. Fiserv agrees that for the events described in this Section, Client shall have the right to terminate the Agreement for material breach without payment of any early termination fees. These provisions shall commence 30 days following the commencement of the applicable Services. In the event Client elects to terminate for reasons described below, Client agrees to notify Fiserv in writing within 2 weeks of the event of its intention to do so. If Client fails to provide such notification, Client thereby waives its right to terminate for such event.
(i) If Fiserv receives a qualified opinion from its independent auditing firm, not cured within 90 days, it shall be deemed a material breach pursuant to Section 11(a) of the Agreement without the requirement of notice. (ii)In the event that the Fiserv system is not on-line and available at 9:00am Eastern Time for a duration of at least 30 minutes, more than 12 times in any 12 consecutive month period due to reasons within Fiserv's control, it shall be deemed a material breach pursuant to Section 11(a) of the Agreement without regard to the 90-day cure period. (iii) Fiserv will provide reports and queries including but not limited to those identified in Appendix A - 2 for regulatory reporting purposes by the 5th of each month following month end. Failure by Fiserv, more than once per 12 consecutive month period, to provide these reports by the 10th of each month, or within at least one business day prior to the filing deadline, whichever is later, shall be deemed a material breach pursuant to Section 11(a) of the Agreement without regard to the 90-day cure period, provided that in the event Client does not have all information from Fiserv necessary to make regulatory filings by the 6th business day following month end, Client will immediately so notify Fiserv senior management in writing. In the event Client fails to make such notification, Client will not have the right to terminate the agreement for such event.
G. Penalties Resulting in Credit to Fees. Fiserv agrees to credit Client fees as penalties due to performance failures by Fiserv as outlined in this Section, which credits shall not exceed $10,000 in any given month. These provisions shall commence 30 days following the commencement of the applicable Services.
(i) In the event that the Fiserv system is not on-line and available at 8:30 am Eastern Time for a duration of at least 30 minutes due to reasons within Fiserv's control more than 2 times during any 12 consecutive month period, Client will be credited $1,000 for each hour beyond the 30 minute duration of system unavailability. (ii)In the event that the Fiserv system is not on-line and available at 9:00 am Eastern Time for a duration of at least 30 minutes due to reasons within Fiserv's control more than 2 times during any 12 consecutive month period, Client will be credited $1,000 for each hour beyond the 30 minute duration of system unavailability. (iii) Fiserv shall provide a Positive Balance File each day (Tuesday through Saturday) for the Client's ATM system, as well as a Balance File to be used for both the VRU and Internet banking systems. If any or all of such files are not available for receipt by Client by 11:00 am Eastern Time more than 2 times during any 12 consecutive month period, and the reason for such is within Fiserv's control, Client will be credited $1,000 per hour for each hour after 11:00 am Eastern Time for which any or all files are not available.
H. Performance Standards Reports. Within 15 days after the end of each calendar month, Fiserv shall transmit to Client via e-mail an appropriately detailed statement in a format mutually agreed by Client and Fiserv, which shall include (1)~a report, for the most recently ended calendar month, the then-current Measurement Period-to-date (if applicable), and the then-current calendar year-to-date, detailing Fiserv's compliance with the performance standards set forth in this Exhibit and (2)~such other reports as Client may reasonably request.

(Attached hereto)
Exhibit B

1. Services. Fiserv will provide Client the Item Processing Services ("Item Processing Services") specified in Exhibit B - 1.
2. Due Diligence. (a) All necessary information concerning Client's requirements for Item Processing Services shall be set forth in a business assumptions list (the "Business Requirements List" as described in Exhibit D of this Agreement), which Fiserv and Client shall complete together prior to Fiserv rendering Item Processing Services hereunder.
(b) Client acknowledges that Fiserv has relied on the information contained in the Business Requirements List in determining pricing and performance levels for the Item Processing Services. In the event of an acquisition or other reason causing or resulting in material change(s) in the actual volumes, types of items, and delivery times for work received from Client, as compared to the Business Requirements List, Fiserv shall have the right to adjust its fees pursuant to Exhibit B - 2 and/or performance standards accordingly upon 30 days' notice to Client.
3. Fees. Client shall pay Fiserv the fees and other charges for the Item Processing Services specified in Exhibit B - 1. Fees listed in Exhibit B - 2 are valid for item processing services and locations that Client contracts for as of the Effective Date. If Client wishes to obtain additional services and/or use additional locations from Fiserv during the term of the Agreement, Fiserv fees and services available therefor will be quoted to Client upon request. Fiserv agrees to give at least 30 days' notice to Client of any changes in the rules and procedures established for processing items, unless such changes are caused by changes made by the Federal Reserve System or otherwise beyond Fiserv's control, not permitting Fiserv to give such advance notice. Fiserv reserves the right to make such changes to the Exhibits without notice as may be necessary to cover any increases in Federal Reserve System costs and charges or in other costs and charges beyond Fiserv's control, including changes required by applicable law or regulatory activity.
4. Performance Standards. Fiserv will perform the Item Processing Services in accordance with the performance standards specified in Exhibit B - 3 (the "Performance Standards"), subject to Client meeting its performance obligations as set forth in Exhibits B - 1 and B - 3.
5. No Fiduciary Relationship. Fiserv shall perform such Item Processing Services for which Fiserv shall subscribe as agent of Client, and Fiserv shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship with respect to Client.
6. Lost, Destroyed, and Misplaced Items. Fiserv assumes no liability for any item lost, destroyed, or misplaced while in transit before the item physically arrives at the premises of Fiserv and is received by Fiserv. In the event any items are lost, destroyed, or misplaced, and such event is not due to negligence or misconduct by Fiserv, Fiserv shall be liable only for reasonable reconstruction costs of such items. In no event shall Fiserv be liable for the face value of any lost or missing item(s).
7. Governmental Regulation. This Exhibit shall be governed by and is subject to: the applicable laws, regulations, rules, terms and conditions, as presently in effect or hereafter amended or adopted, of the United States of America, Federal Reserve Board, Federal Reserve Banks, Federal Housing Finance Board, and any other governmental agency or instrumentality having jurisdiction over the subject matter of this Exhibit. Client agrees to abide by such requirements and to execute and deliver such agreements, documents, or other forms as may be necessary to comply with the provisions hereof, including, without limitation, agreements to establish Fiserv as Client's Agent for purposes of delivery of items processed hereunder from or to the Federal Reserve Banks. Any such agreements shall be made a part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein. A change or termination of such laws, regulations, rules, terms, conditions, and agreements shall constitute, respectively, a change or termination as to this Exhibit, of which Fiserv shall notify Client. Client data and records shall be subject to regulation and examination by government supervisory agencies to the same extent as if such information were on Client's premises. Fiserv shall notify Client of such examination promptly upon Fiserv's receipt of notification of examination.
8. Client Responsibilities. Client shall submit all items to Fiserv and
otherwise comply with all Client obligations in accordance with the requirements
set forth in Exhibit B - 1. Client shall maintain adequate supporting materials
(i.e. copies of items, records, and other data supplied to Fiserv) of items that
the Client receives over the counter or any items delivered directly to the
Client. To the extent Client is unable to provide such duplicates or copies,
Client shall hold Fiserv harmless from any liability or responsibility therefor.
Client shall provide written notice of confirmation and/or verification of any
instructions given by Client, its agents, employees, officers, or directors to
Fiserv in connection with Fiserv's provision of Item Processing Services. Client
shall be responsible for balancing its accounts (Federal Reserve accounts,
correspondent bank accounts and other general ledger accounts) each business day
and notifying Fiserv promptly of any errors or discrepancies. Fiserv shall be
responsible for balancing Client's operating accounts as specified in Exhibit C
- 1. In the event Fiserv discovers an error or defect, Fiserv is authorized, in
its sole discretion, to correct any such error or defect and to make any
adjustments in order to correct such error or defect.
9. Definition of Item. An item is defined as all checks and other documents presented to Fiserv for processing, transactional entries generated by Client, such as teller cash tickets, general ledger entries, loan entries and all control documents such as batch tickets.
10. Courier Services. Client and Fiserv will arrange for appropriate courier services to accomplish all processes in required timeframes. Fiserv will bear the cost of trips between Fiserv and the Utica, NY RCPC and the Utica Exchange of the Albany clearinghouse. Client will be responsible for all other courier costs.
Exhibit B - 1
Item Processing Description of Services
1. Proof. On each business day (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays), Client will deliver to Fiserv Processing Center, checks and other items deposited to accounts with Client in accordance with the following schedule (Eastern Time):
. Work coming in on Mondays or after holidays, Fiserv requires 2 deliveries:
5:00pm - 40%
8:00pm - 60%
. Work coming in on other days, Fiserv requires 2 deliveries:
5:00pm - 30%
8:00pm - 70%
Fiserv will prove all work presented. If a branch sends an out-of-balance situation, Client must cooperate and participate with Fiserv to correct such situation.
a. Client will provide for a courier, to pick up and deliver all work between Client and Fiserv. The Fiserv operations center is located in Utica, NY. If Fiserv has not received the items from Client locations by the agreed upon delivery times, Fiserv will use its best efforts to process all work on the same day received to meet Performance Standards designated in B-4, but will not be subject to any penalties associated with such standards. Fiserv will contact Client's after-hours contact and apprise said contact of the situation. Client agrees to provide an after-hours contact and update that contact should there be any change in Client personnel.
b. Client agrees to MICR encode documents to meet Fiserv requirements (ABA and Account Numbers and Tran-codes). Fiserv shall review Client's MICR coding to determine compliance with such requirements in the event that Client changes its procedures due to acquisition or otherwise.
c. Client agrees that all transactional entries, involving tellers' cash tickets, general ledger entries, or loan entries shall be in balance. Fiserv may return to Fiserv's Back Office any transactional entries that are not in balance without being subject to performance standards contained in Exhibit B - 3.
d. Client agrees to segregate all over-the-counter items into batches not to exceed 3" in depth. Fiserv requires Client to segregate all items by type (i.e., single deposit items batched separately from multiple deposit items), and to provide a total for each single batch.
e. From the items submitted to Fiserv, Fiserv shall retrieve such "on-us" information as may be necessary for the proper accounting of the items and shall transmit this information, through telephone lines or by such other means as Fiserv may, from time to time, deem appropriate to Client's data processor (which will be Fiserv after Conversion/Implementation/Training noted in Exhibits D - 1 and D - 2, but may change thereafter) for data processing.
f. Client authorizes Fiserv to create ledger holdover entries, deposit corrections, or such other entries to balance transactions, as may be necessary to the efficient processing of the items.
g. After Fiserv has completed the process of retrieving and transmitting to Client's data processor (which will be Fiserv after Conversion/ Implementation/Training noted in Exhibit D - 1 and D - 2, but may change thereafter) the information necessary for data processing, all over-the-counter items not drawn against Client shall be forwarded for collection to such correspondent banks as Client may designate from time to time in writing to Fiserv.
h. All items drawn against Client and those items internally generated shall be returned to Fiserv Back Office or held by Fiserv in accordance with Client's written instructions.
2. Encoding Fiserv will encode the dollar amount on all items needing encoding and presented to Fiserv as part of the Proof function described above. Fiserv may encode additional fields, such as account numbers, deposit ticket totals, or other items as specified by Client. Any such encoding will be according to terms agreed to by Fiserv. In no event will Fiserv be liable for losses to Client due to encoding errors if Client has not satisfied all of its obligations set forth in Section 1 above. Should Fiserv's encoding services fail to meet the performance standard for proof of deposit set forth in Exhibit B - 3, and Client incurs a potential loss due to an encoding error, Client shall use its best efforts to collect the amount in question from its customer (including without limitation, commencing legal action against the customer, obtaining a judgment, and attempting collection efforts based on said judgment) prior to submitting a claim for damages to Fiserv.
3. Exception Item Processing. Fiserv will either reject or pay items listed in accordance with written instructions, by Client's authorized officer or employee by 12:00 pm Eastern Time through the NSF On-line decision support system. The name of Client's officer or employee giving such instruction shall be noted on the item or on such other record as Fiserv may establish, together with the nature of the instruction. If Client has not instructed Fiserv regarding the disposition of any exception item drawn against Client by the agreed upon time each day, then Fiserv shall return it through the presentment chain to the depository bank or institution. Instructions to Fiserv on disposition of items that are received after the agreed upon deadline or are changed can result in a late charge. Should Fiserv's exception item processing fail to meet the performance standard for exception item processing set forth in Exhibit B - 3, and Client incurs a potential loss due to an error, Client shall use its best efforts to collect the amount in question from its customer (including without limitation, commencing legal action against the customer, obtaining a judgment, and attempting collection efforts based on said judgment) prior to submitting a claim for damages to Fiserv.
4. Statement Rendition. All checks, drafts, and other orders for the payment of money drawn against accounts at Client that are to be stored by Fiserv, will be retained by Fiserv until the end of each Client's checking account cycle. The items will be sorted, filed with the monthly statement, and mailed to the depositor. Fiserv shall have statements printed according to predefined cycles and print classes. Statement enclosure counts will be accurately and clearly reported in the top fold of the statement. Fiserv will apply proper postage, which will be pre-paid monthly (or as agreed upon by Client and Fiserv) on an estimated basis by Client, provided, however, that Fiserv has used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the lowest possible postal rates. Client recognizes that presort processing fees may be incurred.
5. Inclearings. Client authorizes Fiserv to receive its inclearing items daily from the Federal Reserve Bank. Fiserv will balance the inclearing items to their Cash Letters, capture the items on magnetic media, microfilm or image scan and transmit the account information to Client's data processor (which will be Fiserv after Conversion/Implementation/Training noted in Exhibit D - 1 and D - 2, but may change thereafter). Fiserv will also pull out for further handling the appropriate items for exception handling or scrutinizing, and deliver the items to bulk file storage or to Client for further processing.
6. Courier Service. The parties hereto acknowledge that it will be necessary to make arrangements for the transport of items, records, and other data from Client to Fiserv and from the Federal Reserve or Correspondent bank to Fiserv. After Fiserv has provided the Item Processing Services, selected items, records, and data must be transported from Fiserv to Client. The parties further acknowledge that the cost of such transportation shall be the sole responsibility of Client.
a. Client has the right to make provision for its own courier service to provide the needed transportation as set forth in subsection 1.a. above. Should Client not make provision for such courier service, or should Client request that Fiserv make arrangements for such courier service, then Fiserv, for the benefit of Client, shall make arrangements for such a courier service. Client must notify Fiserv to provide such courier service no less than 30 days prior to the date that Fiserv is to begin providing Item Processing Services.
b. Client shall pay Fiserv for any and all charges, expenses, or costs incurred by Fiserv in contracting for said courier service, as set forth in Exhibit B - 2.
c. Client understands and agrees that Fiserv shall not have or assume any liability or responsibility for such items, records, or data until they reach Fiserv's control and that Fiserv shall have no further responsibility or liability for them after they leave Fiserv control.
d. The courier service shall at all times be deemed Client's independent contractor, and shall not, at any time or under any circumstances, be deemed Fiserv's agent or employee, regardless of whether said courier service, at any pertinent time herein, is affiliated with or employed by Fiserv.
e. Fiserv will monitor and track deliveries for Client. Should a delivery be missing, Fiserv will notify Client through appropriate channels. Should there be any dispute as to the proper delivery of any records, Fiserv's records of delivery will be accepted as the undisputed record of delivery.
7. Conversion Services. Fiserv will provide conversion services based on the information provided by Client during the due diligence process, information obtained after the Effective Date, or any future amendment to this Agreement, and prior to the Implementation Services in Exhibit D - 2 or in a subsequent Exhibit D - n. Following Client's initial conversion to Fiserv Services, any additional requests to change existing services or processes (excluding extraordinary items) will be submitted to Fiserv at least 30 days prior to the required implementation date. An estimate for the additional conversion services will be provided. The implementation time for the conversion will be delayed if Client requires more than 3 days to approve or decline the conversion estimate. Client also acknowledges that Fiserv must approve any changes to the MICR line and/or Account Number structure for Client prior to proceeding with a conversion. Fiserv will make every reasonable attempt to convert new MICR line and/or Account Number structures. Client agrees to eliminate any non-standard MICR line and/or Account number structure as identified during the due diligence process for this Agreement or any future addendum to this Agreement from its daily capture service within 120 days after the initial conversion date. Client acknowledges that Fiserv may elect to charge a fee such as the Special Statements Fee listed in Exhibit B - 2, for all non-standard items processed in the service. Client acknowledges that Fiserv may not be able to achieve the stated performance standards on accounts, transactions, or services involving non-standard MICR lines and/or Account Number structures. In the event that the Account Number appearing on the statement does not equal the Account Number on the MICR line, Fiserv will not be responsible for any performance standards relating to statement preparation and rendition.
Initial Client conversion is based on the Business Requirements List obtained during the due diligence process. This work includes all inclearings, POD, and bulk file sort pattern. In addition, it includes a single extraction program to support the transmission of a daily inclearings and POD file to a host site for processing. Sort specifications will be developed in support of statement rendition services. Standard reporting will be provided to Client to include a daily transaction report sorted in transaction and account order, recaps of transmissions and Cash Letters, and a daily cash report if required.
8. Research Services. Fiserv will provide research and photocopy services upon request by Client. Upon receipt from Client of a request for subpoena work or other significant or voluminous research work, Fiserv will attempt to provide Client with an estimate of the time required and corresponding cost to complete the request prior to commencing the research services.
Exhibit B - 2

President's Message
Dear Shareholder:
2001 was another record year at TrustCo. Although others in our industry
did well, few can match the TrustCo record of sustained superior performance. We
are grateful to our employees and Board of Directors for their strong support
and enthusiasm.
During 2001, shareholder value continued in the right direction with net
income at $45.5 million, up a significant 9% over 2000. Return on average equity
(ROE), our most important measurement, was 25.31% up from 24.07% in 2000.
TrustCo's enviable five-year ROE was 22.72% and we have aggressive plans to
produce a 26% ROE in 2002.
TrustCo's world-class efficiency ratio was 39% for 2001. This measurement
is one of the best tests to identify effective expense controls and
productivity.
During 2001, we issued a 15% stock split maintaining the cash dividend
level on the issued shares, effectively increasing dividend income for TrustCo
owners by 15%.The quarterly cash dividend has increased at a 17.42% compounded
annual rate over the las t ten years, resulting in TrustCo's recognition in the
2001 Edition of Mergent's Dividend Achievers.
A lot has been written about aggressive accounting practices and off
balance sheet risk. I am pleased to report TrustCo does not engage in activities
involving any instrument commonly referred to as derivatives. I believe these
instruments pose a high degree of risk, and that investing in them is
unnecessary.
We have often discussed our philosophy of returning any excess capital to
theshareholders while maintaining sufficient capital to meet the regulatory
definition of"well capitalized." Therefore, in 2001 84.58% of net income was
paid to shareholders in c ash dividends.
TrustCo's branch office expansion program continues. We opened two
additional branches during 2001 and relocated our Route 7 Office to a more
visible and accessible location. Our plans call for aggressive branch expansion
in 2002 targeting territories within and outside the Capital Region.
The quality of the loan portfolio is excellent, and our allowance for loan
loss ratios and other asset quality indicators remain strong.
In 2001 Kenneth C. Petersen retired after years of dedicated service as a
TrustCo director. We thank him and wish him well in the future.
There were a number of Senior staff changes during 2001. Robert J.
McCormickwas named Senior Vice President with responsibility for Branch
Administration, Retail Lending, Marketing/Community Relations and Facilities.
Donald J. Csaposs andScot R. Salvad or were elevated to Administrative Vice
Presidents and Thomas M. Poitras and Phillip M. Cioppa were named Vice
Presidents. Recently Daniel R. Saullo was also promoted to Vice President. I
believe that the TrustCo management team has the experience and ability to
continue to lead the Company along the road of accomplishment and prosperity in
the future.
2001 was a year in which average assets of $2.488 billion grew by $115.2
million, an increase of 4.86%. This solid performance will provide us with
investment opportunities going forward. Our loan portfolio grew by 8.8% on
average during 2001 with continued emphasis on the retail side of the product
mix.
During 2001, we evaluated a number of acquisition opportunities.
Unfortunately, we were not successful. Our approach to acquisitions is quite
simple - we are extremely careful to avoid damage to shareholder value in the
existing TrustCo franchise.
Our Trust Department, which currently manages assets in excess of $1.23
billion has ambitious expectations for 2002 and continues moving forward.
In 2001 TrustCo's stock price provided shareholders a twelve month total
return of 24.2%, compared to an 11.8% loss for the Standard and Poors 500 Index
and a 6.5% gain for the Standard and Poors 600 Small Cap index of which TrustCo
is a component.
On June 9, 2002 TrustCo will celebrate its 100th anniversary. We thank all
of our past and present employees for making TrustCo the largest and most
profitable bankingcompany headquartered in the Capital Region.
Our community needs have expanded, and TrustCo has responded
appropriately.Our staff involvement with hundreds of nonprofit agencies
throughout our market area,coupled with financial support from TrustCo, has
received increased public awareness.
We are enthusiastic about TrustCo's future. It is our intention at every
level in the Company to continue our past success into the future. Our products
are tailored to the needs of our community, we have an unmatched employee team
to deliver them, and a management style that can adapt almost immediately to any
change the marketplace may bring.
We are sure the combination mentioned above and enthusiastic commitment of
the Board of Directors will ensure our continued success in the years ahead,
whatever the banking environment.
Sincerely,
Robert A. McCormick,
Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer

. an increase in noninterest expense of $3.5 million to $51.3 million for 2001 resulting in an efficiency ratio of 38.96%, and

TrustCo has performed well with respect to a number of key performance
ratios during 2001 and 2000, including:
. return on equity of 25.31% for 2001 and 24.07% for 2000,
. return on assets of 1.83% for 2001 and 1.76% for 2000, and
. operating efficiency ratio of 38.96% for 2001 and 38.06% for 2000.
Acquisition
During the third quarter 2000, TrustCo acquired Landmark Financial
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Landmark Community Bank, in a
purchase business combination. The fair value of Landmark's assets was $26.2
million and the fair value of Landmark's liabilities was $24.3 million at the
time of the acquisition. The total cost was approximately $3.4 million. Goodwill
of approximately $1.5 million was recognized as a result of the acquisition.
As a result of the relative immateriality of the balances acquired in the
Landmark acquisition, the following discussion does not separately identify the
change in balances due to the acquisition.
Asset/Liability Management
In managing its balance sheet, TrustCo utilizes funding and capital sources
within sound credit, investment, interest rate, and liquidity risk guidelines.
Loans and securities (including federal funds sold) are the Company's primary
earning assets. Average interest earning assets were 95.5% and 96.6% of average
total assets for 2001 and 2000, respectively.
TrustCo, through its management of liabilities, attempts to provide stable
and flexible sources of funding within established liquidity and interest rate
risk guidelines. This is accomplished through core deposit banking products
offered within the markets served by the Company. TrustCo does not actively seek
to attract out-of-area deposits or so called hot money; rather the Company
focuses on core relationships with both depositors and borrowers.
TrustCo's objectives in managing its balance sheet are to limit the
sensitivity of net interest income to actual or potential changes in interest
rates, and to enhance profitability through strategies thatshould provide
sufficient reward for understoodand controlled risk. The Company is deliberate
inits effort to maintain adequate liquidity underprevailing and projected
economic conditions, and to maintain an efficient and appropriate mix of core
deposit relationships.
The Company relies on traditional banking investment instruments and its
large base of core deposits to help in asset/liability management.

Interest Rates
TrustCo competes with other financial service providers based upon many
factors including quality of service, convenience of operations, and ratespaid
on deposits and charged on loans. Theabsolute level of interest rates, changes
in rates, and customer s' expectations with respect to the direction of interest
rates have a significant impact on thevolume of loan and deposit originations in
any particular year.
During 2000 and 2001 interest rates have moved dramatically in response to
the slowing economic conditions. One of the most important interest rates
utilized to control economic activity is the "federal funds" rate. This is the
rate utilized within the banking system for overnight borrowings for the highest
credit quality institutions. The federal funds rate was 5.50% at the beginning
of 2000, increased to 6.50% by year end 2000 and then was reduced 11 times
during the year. By year end 2001 the federal funds rate was 1.75%. The federal
funds rate affects the level of other interest rates in the economy, most
specifically the prime rate. The prime rate was 8.50% on January 1, 2000,
increased to 9.50% during the year and then decreased to 4.75% by year end 2001.

The principal loan product for TrustCo is resi-dential real estate loans.
Interest rates on newresidential real estate loan originations areinfluenced
principally by the rates established by secondary market participants such as
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Because TrustCo is a portfolio lender and does not
sell any loans into thesecondary market, the Company establishes rates that are
appropriate in light of the long-term natureof residential real estate loans
while remainingcompetitive with the s econdary market rates. During 2001 the
Company was very successful in marketing the unique aspects of TrustCo's
residential mortgage loan products, which coupled with the relatively low
interest rates, created an opportunity for TrustCo to increase the average
balance of this product by $122.3 million.
Interest rates paid on deposits decreased as a result of the overall
reductions in interest rates in the marketplace. TrustCo offered interest rates
on deposit products that were competitive with other local financial
institutions while at the same time recognizing the overall reduction in rates
in themarketplace. As a result of the low interest rateenvironment certain
customers responded to these marketplace changes by opening
short-termcertificates of deposit or placing their funds insavings accounts.
Earning Assets
Average earning assets during 2001 were $2.38billion, which was an increase
of $84.3 million from the prior year. The increase in the average balance of
earning assets was primarily the result of $123.4 million growth in the average
balance of loans, o ffset by a reduction of $72.8 million in the average balance
of securities. Also during 2001, the average balance of federal funds sold and
other short-term investments increased by $33.7 million between 2000 and 2001.
Total average assets were $2.49 billion for 2001 and $2.37 billion for
2000.
The table "Mix of Average Earning Assets" on page 6 shows how the mix of
the earning assets has changed over the last three years. While the growth in
earning assets is critical to improved profitability, changes in the mix also
have a significant impact on income levels.
Loans: Average total loans increased $123.4million, or 8.8%, during 2001.
Interest income on the loan portfolio increased to $119.5 million in 2001 from
$114.2 million in 2000. The average yield decreased from 8.19% in 2000 to 7.87%
in 2001.
The steady growth of the loan portfolio contributed significantly to the
increased earnings results for 2001. TrustCo has distinguished itself in the
Upstate New York region as one of the principal originators of residential real
estate loans. Through aggressive marketing and pricing and a customer-friendly
service delivery network, TrustCo has increased the average balance of the
residential real estate loan portfolio to $1.17 billion, an increase of $122.3
million, or 11.7%. Income on residential real estate loans increased to $90.5
million in 2001 from $81.7 million in 2000. The yield on the portfolio decreased
to 7.76% for 2001 from 7.83% in 2000 due to general changes in retail rates in
the marketplace.
The overwhelming majority of TrustCo's real estate loans are secured by
properties within the Banks' market area. Management's specific knowledge of
local market conditions and trends is considered a benefit both for marketing
and collection pur poses. During 2001, management continued its established
practice of retaining all new loan originations in the Banks' portfolio rather
than selling them in the secondary market. This practice positions TrustCo to
respond quickly to customer and market needs by allowing TrustCo and the
customers to interact on a one-to-one basis. This practice also allows TrustCo
to respond quickly to changes in interest rates or closing costs offered by
competitors. The overall result is that TrustCo is able to develop long-term
business relationships with customers and meet their needs quickly.
Average commercial loans of $205.5 million in 2001 increased 5.4% from the
$195.0 million in 2000. The average yield on the commercial loan portfolio
decreased to 8.48% for 2001 compared to 8.87% for 2000. This resulted in income
on commercial loans of $17.4 million in 2001 and $17.3 million in 2000.

TrustCo strives to maintain strong asset qualityin all segments of its loan
portfolio, especially commercial loans. Competition for commercial
loanscontinues to be very intense in Trustco Banks'market region. Trustco Banks
compete with large money cen ter and regional banks as well as with smaller
locally based banks and thrifts. Over the last several years, competition for
commercial loans has intensified as smaller banks and thrifts have tried to
develop commercial loan portfolios. To do this,some are reducing interest rates
and underwriting standards.
TrustCo's commercial lending activities are focused on balancing the
Company's commitment to meeting the credit needs of businesses in its market
area with the necessity of managing its credit risk. In accordance with these
goals, the Company has consistently emphasized the origination of loans within
its market area. The portfolio contains no foreign loans, nor does it contain
any significant concentrations of credit to any single borrower or industry. The
commercial loan portfolio reflects the diversity of businesses found in the
Capital Region's economy. Light manufacturing, retail, service, and real estate
related business are a few examples of the types of businesses located in the
Company's market area.
TrustCo has a long-standing leadership position in the home equity credit
line product in its market area. TrustCo was one of the first financial
institutions in the Capital Region to aggressively market and originate this
product, and has developed significant expertise with respect to its risks and
rewards. During 2001, the average balance of home equity credit lines was $125.8
million, down from $134.5 million in 2000. The home equity credit line product
has developed into a significant business line for most financial services
companies. Trustco Banks compete with both regional and national concerns for
these lines of credit and face stiff competition with respect to interest rates,
closing costs, and customer service for these loans. TrustCo continuously
reviews changes made bycompetitors with respect to the home equity creditline
product and adjusts its offerings to remaincompetitive. The average yield
decreased to 7.02%for 2001 from 9.19% in 2000. This resulted in interest income
on home equity credit lines of $8.8 million in 2001, compared to $12.4 million
in 2000.
The average balance of installment loans, net of unearned income, decreased to $21.8 million in 2001 from $22.5 million in 2000. The yield on installment loans decreased 11 basis points to 12.77% in 2001, resulting in interest income of $2.8 million.
Securities available for sale:The portfolio of securities available for sale is
managed by the Company to take full advantage of changes in interest rates.
Securities available for sale are used primarily for liquidity purposes while
simultaneously producing earnings, and are managed under a policy detailing the
types, duration, and interest rates acceptable in the portfolio.
The designation of "available for sale" is made at the time of purchase,
based upon management's intent to hold the securities for an indefinite period
of time. However, these securities are available for sale in response to changes
in market interest rates, related changes in prepayment risk, needs for
liquidity, or changes in the availability of and yield on alternative
investments.
At December 31, 2001, securities available for sale amounted to $587.1
million, compared to $605.3 million at year end 2000. For 2001, the average
balance of securities available for sale was $581.7 million with an average
yield of 7.71%, compared to an average balance in 2000 of $654.5 million with an
average yield of 7.44%.

Weighted average rates have not been adjusted for any tax-equivalent factor.
The taxable equivalent income earned on the securities portfolio in 2001
was $44.8 million,compared to $48.7 million earned in 2000. Theaverage balance
of the securities portfolio decreased by $72.8 million between 2000 and 2001,
while the average yield on the portfolio increased by 27 basis points during the
same time period.
During 2001, TrustCo recognized approximately $4.5 million of net gains
from securities transactions, compared to approximately $5.0 million of net
losses in 2000. Throughout 2001, TrustCo sold securities to provide liquidity
for potential reinvestment at higher interest rates. This created liquidity and
eliminated lower yielding assets from the securities portfolio. At year end
2001, TrustCo continued to have significant liquidity in the form of $338.5
million of federal funds sold and other short-term investments.

TrustCo has not invested in any exotic investment products such as interest
rate swaps, forward placement contracts, or other instruments commonly referred
to as derivatives. By actively managing a portfolio of high quality securities,
TrustCo can meet the objectives of asset/liability management and liquidity,
while at the same time producing a constant earnings stream that meets or
exceeds alternative rates offered in the marketplace.
Securities available for sale are recorded at their fair value, with any
unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, recognized as a component of
shareholders' equity. Average balances of securities available for sale are
stated at amortized cost. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the market value of
TrustCo's portfolio of securities available for sale carried netunrealized gains
of approximately $36.6 million and $34.7 million, respectively.
Maturity and call dates of securities: Many of the securities in the investment portfolio have a call date in addition to the stated maturity date. Call dates allow the issuer to redeem the bonds prior to maturity at specified dates and at predetermined prices. Normally, securities are redeemed at the call date when the issuer can reissuethe bond at a lower interest rate. Therefore, for cash flow, liquidity and interest rate management purposes, it is important to monitor both maturity dates and call dates. The table above details the portfolio of securities available for sale by both maturity date and call date as of December 31, 2001. Mortgage-backed securities are reported using an estimate of average life; equity securities are excluded.
Federal funds sold: During 2001, the average balance of federal funds sold was
$271.8 million, a $34.0 million increase from $237.9 million in 2000. The
average rate earned on these assets was 3.96% in 2001 and 6.31% in 2000. TrustCo
utilizes this category of earning assets as a means of main-tainin g strong
liquidity as interest rates change.
During 2000 and 2001, the target federal funds rate set by the Federal Open
Market Committee (FOMC) changed significantly as describedpreviously. The
securities available for sale portfoliois significantly affected by changes in
the targetfederal fund s rate as are all market instruments. As rates were
changing during 2000 and 2001, TrustCo took advantage of these opportunities to
reinvest excess liquidity in higher yielding securities when available.

Nonaccrual loans are included in average loans. |
Funding Sources
TrustCo utilizes various traditional sources of funds to support its asset
portfolio. The following table, "Mix of Average Sources of Funding," presents
the various categories of funds used and the corresponding average balances for
each of the last three years.

Deposits: Average total deposits (including time deposits greater than $100
thousand) were $2.03billion in 2001, compared to $1.99 billion in 2000, an
increase of $41.8 million. Increases were noted in interest bearing checking
accounts, money market, time deposit and demand deposit accounts. The average
balance of interest bearing checking accounts increased by $12.0 million to
$283.2 million in 2001. Money market accounts had an average balance of $64.4
million in 2001 compared to $57.9 million in 2000. Time deposits increased on
average by $18.3 million and demand deposits increased by $12.0 million during
2001 compared to 2000.
The increase in demand deposits is noteworthy because these accounts
represent the principal banking relationship for most customers. The increase in
demand deposits reflects the impact of the new branch offices opened since 1995,
and the continuing focus at TrustCo on providing core banking services faster,
cheaper, and better than its competitors. The TrustCo demand deposit account has
one of the lowest minimum balance requirements of any financial institution
operating in the same banking territory.
These increases in demand deposits were offset by a $6.9 million decrease
in savings accounts during the same period.
For 2001, TrustCo had an average of $130.4 million of time deposits with
balances greater than $100 thousand. The vast majority of these accounts are
retail in nature and represent traditional TrustCo customers attracted to the
Banks by the same factors as other banking customers. TrustCo does not offer
these depositors any differential in interest rates, services, or terms compared
to other retail customers.
The overall cost of interest bearing deposits was 3.58% in 2001 compared to
3.69% in 2000. The increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits,
offset by an 11 basis point decrease in the average cost, resulted in a decrease
of approximately $900 thousand in interest expense to $66.1 million in 2001.
The Company strives to maintain competitive rates on deposit accounts and
to attract customers through a combination of competitive interest rates,
quality customer service, and convenient banking locations. In this fashion,
TrustCo is able to attract deposit customers looking for a long-term banking
relationship, and to cross sell banking services utilizing the deposit account
relationship as the starting point.

borrowings outstanding during 2001 compared to $164.1 million in 2000. The
average cost of short-term borrowings was 5.28% in 2000 and 3.23% in 2001. This
resulted in a decrease in interest expense of approximately $2.0 million.
A majority of short-term borrowing consists of the Trustco Short-Term
Investment Account, which was developed by Trustco Bank to facilitate overnight
deposits from the Company's Trust Department. Daily balances are transferred by
the Trust Department into this account, and are collateralized by securities
owned by Trustco Bank.

Capital Resources
Consistent with its long-term goal of operating a sound and profitable
financial organization, TrustCo strives to maintain strong capital ratios and to
qualify as a well-capitalized bank in accordance with federal regulatory
requirements. Historically, most of the Company's capital requirements have been
provided through retained earnings generated. New issues of equity securities
have not been required to support the Company's growth.
A basic element of TrustCo's operating philosophy is that the Company will
not retain excess capital. All capital generated by the Company that is in
excess of the levels considered by management to be necessary for the safe and
sound operation of the Company has been distributed to the shareholders in the
form of cash dividends. Consequently, the capital ratios that are maintained are
adequate but not excessive. This philosophy has led to a dividend payout ratio
of 84.6% of net income for 2001, 79.8% for 2000, and 79.2% for 1999. These are
significant payouts to the Company's shareholders and are considered by
management to be a prudent use of excess capital. As to the likelihood of future
dividends, it is currently anticipated that the philosophy stated above will
continue in 2002 and, where appropriate, the Board of Directors will declare
dividends consistent with that operating philosophy.
TrustCo's Tier 1 capital was $183.2 million or 13.58% of risk-adjusted
assets at December 31, 2001, and $174.3 million or 14.03% of risk-adjusted
assets at December 31, 2000. Tier 1 capital to average assets at December 31,
2001 was 7.72%, as compared to 7.31% at year end 2000. At December 31, 2001 and
2000, each of the Trustco Banks met their respective regulators' definitions of
well capitalized institutions.

Risk Management
The responsibility for balance sheet risk management oversight is the
function of the Asset Allocation Committee. This committee meets monthly and
includes the executive officers of the Company as well as other department
managers as appropriate. The meetings include a review of balance sheet
structure, formulation of strategy in light of anticipated economic conditions,
and comparison to established guidelines to control exposures to various types
of risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed through a network of loan officer authorities,
review committees, loan policies, and oversight from the senior executives of
the Company. Management follows a policy of continually identifying, analyzing,
and evaluating the credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio. As a result of
management's ongoing reviews of the loan portfolio, loans are placed in
nonaccrual status, either due to the delinquent status of the principal and/or
interest payments, or based on a judgment by management that, although payment
of principal and/or interest is current, such action is prudent. Loans are
generally placed in nonaccrual status when principal and/or interest is three
payments past due. Thereafter, no interest is taken into income unless received
in cash or until such time as the borrower demonstrates a sustained ability to
make scheduled payments of interest and principal.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets include loans in nonaccrual status, loans which have
been treated as troubled debt restructurings, loans past due three payments or
more and still accruing interest, and foreclosed real estate properties.
Nonperforming assets at year end 2001 totaled $7.7 million, a decrease of
$5.9 million from the balance of $13.6 million at year end 2000. Nonperforming
loans decreased from $11.7 million in 2000 to $7.1 million at year end 2001.
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of the total loan portfolio were 0.79% in
2000 and 0.45% in 2001. Given the trends in bankruptcies and real estate values
which secure much of Trustco Banks' real estate loan portfolios, there continues
to be concern about the level of nonperforming loans in the future.
Included in nonperforming loans at year end 2001 were $1.1 million of loans
in nonaccrual status. Loans past due three payments or more and still accruing
interest amounted to $801 thousand, a decrease of $95 thousand from the 2000
year end balance. Restructured loans in 2000 were $6.4million, compared to $5.2
million in 2001. Adherence to sound underwriting standards and vigorous loan
collection efforts have been cornerstones of the operating philosophy of TrustCo
and have assisted the Company in avoiding many of the pitfalls that others in
the banking community have experienced.
All of the $7.1 million of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2001, are residential real estate or retail consumer loans. Historically the vast majority of nonperforming loans were concentrated in the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios. However, a significant portion of the charge offs for 2001 occurred in the residential real estate and retail consumer loan portfolios. During 2001, gross charge offs of these types of loans were $5.9 million (which represented 85% of total gross charge offs). In 2000, charge offs for these types of loans were $3.5million. There has been a shift of nonperforming loans and charge offs to the residential real estate and retail consumer loan portfolios for several reasons, including:
..the overall emphasis within TrustCo on residential real estate originations, ..the relatively weak economic environment in the Upstate New York market, and ..the reduction in real estate values that has occurred in much of TrustCo's market area since the middle of the 1990's, resulting in a reduction in the value of the collateral that supports the real estate loans.
Consumer defaults and bankruptcies have increased dramatically over the
last several years, and this has led to an increase in defaults on loans.
TrustCo strives to identify borrowers that are experiencing financial
difficulties, and to work aggressively to minimize losses.
TrustCo has a diversified loan portfolio which includes a significant
balance of residential mortgage loans to borrowers in the Capital Region and
avoids concentrations to any one borrower or any single industry.
Nonperforming assets at year end 2001 include $603 thousand of foreclosed
properties, compared to $1.9 million at year end 2000. Once it is determined
that a borrower is unable to repay the loan balance, TrustCo takes appropriate
action with respect to the collateral securing the loan balance. Once properties
are included in the foreclosed properties category, management takes decisive
action to dispose of them quickly. Management believes that the $603 thousand
balance of foreclosed properties is realizable in the normal process of
liquidating these properties.
Management is aware of no other loans in the Banks' portfolio that pose
significant risk of the eventual non-collection of principal and interest. As of
December 31, 2001, there were no other loans classified for regulatory purposes
that management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating
results, liquidity, or capital resources.
TrustCo has no advances to borrowers or projects located outside the United
States.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The balance in the allowance for loan losses has been accumulated over the
years through periodic provisions, and is available to absorb losses on loans
which management determines are uncollectible. The adequacy of the allowance is
evaluated continuously, with emphasis on non-performing and other loans that
management believes warrant special attention. The balance of the allowance is
maintained at a level that is, in management's judgment, representative of the
loan portfolio's inherent risk.
In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management
reviews the current nonperforming loan portfolio as well as loans that are past
due and not yet categorized as nonperforming for reporting purposes. Also, there
are a number of other factors that are taken into consideration, including:
..the magnitude and nature of recent loan charge offs and the shifting of charge
offs to the residential real estate loan portfolio,
..the growth in the loan portfolio and the risks associated with the absolute
balance of the loan portfolio in relation to the economic climate in the Banks'
business territory,
..significant growth in the level of losses associated with bankruptcies and the
time period needed to foreclose, secure, and dispose of collateral, and
..the relatively weak economic environment in the Upstate New York territory
combined with declining real estate prices.
Consumer bankruptcies and defaults in general have risen significantly
during the 1990s. This trend appears to be continuing as a result of economic
turmoil and consumers' easy access to large amounts of credit. Job growth in the
Upstate New York area has been modest to declining and there continues to be a
shifting of higher paying jobs in manufacturing and government to lower paying
service jobs. These trends continued in 2001, and are expected to continue in
2002.
The table, "Summary of Loan Loss Experience" includes an analysis of the
changes to the allowance for the past five years. Loans charged off in 2001 and
2000 were $7.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively. As previously noted, the
mix of loan types giving rise to loan charge offs has shifted to the residential
real estate portfolio. Recoveries were $3.0 million in 2001 and $1.6 million in
2000. The provision recorded on the consolidated income statement in 2001 was
$4.9 million compared to $4.1 million in 2000.
Net charge offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.27% and 0.28% in
2001 and 2000, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
loans outstanding was 3.82% in 2000 and 3.67% in 2001. The Company has a policy
of recognizing problem loan charge offs early and pursuing collection efforts
aggressively. This policy of early intervention has proven to be a cornerstone
of the strong lending performance that TrustCo has achieved.
TrustCo has identified nonaccrual commercial and commercial real estate
loans, as well as all loans restructured since 1995 under a troubled debt
restructuring, as impaired loans.

At year end 2001 and 2000, there were $5.0 and $6.2 million, respectively, of impaired loans. The average balances of impaired loans were $5.1 million during 2001 and $5.8 million during 2000.The Company recognized approximately $438 thousand of interest income on these loans in 2001 and $556 thousand in 2000.

Market Risk
The Company's principal exposure to market risk is with respect to interest
rate risk. Interest rate risk is the potential for economic loss due to future
interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of
future net interest income and/or a loss of current market value.
Interest Rate Risk
Management of interest rate risk involves continual monitoring of the
relative sensitivity of asset and liability portfolios to changes in rates due
to maturities or repricing. Forecasting models are utilized to quantify the
impact of changes in rates on the Company's net income. Specific targets for
interest rate sensitivity have been established by the Company.
The objective of interest rate management is to maintain an appropriate
balance between income growth and the risk associated with maximizing income
through the mismatch of the timing of interest rate changes between assets and
liabilities. Perfectly matching this funding can eliminate interest rate risk,
but net interest income is not always enhanced by this action.
One measure of interest rate risk, the so called gap, is illustrated in the
table "Interest Rate Sensitivity." The table measures the incremental and
cumulative gap, or the difference between assets and liabilities subject to
repricing/maturity during the periods indicated. For purposes of this analysis,
the maturity and repricing of loans is based on the expected cash flows or
earliest repricing date. For securities available for sale, mortgage-backed
securities are stated using anticipated cash flows over their average life, and
debt securities are stated at final maturity. Equity securities that the Banks
are required to hold are categorized in the rate insensitive column for this
presentation. Other equity securities are shown in the 0 to 90 days category.
All securities available for sale are presented at fair market value. Interest
bearing checking, money market, demand, and savings accounts are presented with
a maturity or repricing cycle over the full interest rate cycle and TrustCo's
actual experience, even though they are subject to immediate withdrawal. Time
deposit accounts are presented based upon their maturity dates.
At December 31, 2001, the Company's gap position indicated an excess of
assets repricing in the 0 to 90 day period of $130.4 million. This positive gap
position is the result of management's decision to retain $338.5 million of
federal funds sold at year end 2001 for potential reinvestment in 2002. The gap
position turns negative (an excess of liabilities subject to repricing over
assets that can reprice during that time period) in the 91 to 365 day period by
$389.6 million. This situation occurs as a result of the amount of deposits that
are subject to repricing during this time period. For the period from 0 days to
1 year, the Company has a cumulative negative gap position of $259.2 million.
Interest rate sensitivity using gap analysis is most useful for the period of
less than one year.

The Company's gap position in relation to products, services, and the
marketplace is under constant evaluation by the Asset Allocation Committee.
There are several significant shortcomings inherent in the method of
analysis presented in the
"Interest Rate Sensitivity" table. For example,
although certain assets and liabilities have similar periods to maturity or to
repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest
rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may
fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while other interest
rates may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain
assets have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term
basis and over the life of the asset (certain annual caps and lifetime caps).
Further, in the event of significant changes in interest rates, prepayment and
early withdrawal levels would be likely to deviate significantly from those
assumed in the table. Some borrowers' ability to service their debt may be
hampered by a significant interest rate increase. Management takes these factors
into account when reviewing the Banks' gap positions and establishing future
asset/liability strategy.

TrustCo seeks to obtain favorable funding sources and to maintain prudent
levels of liquid assets in order to satisfy various liquidity demands. In
addition to serving as a funding source for maturing obligations, liquidity
provides flexibility in responding to customer initiated needs. Many factors
affect the ability to meet liquidity needs, including changes in the markets
served by the Banks' network of branches, the mix of assets and liabilities, and
general economic conditions.
The Company actively manages its liquidity position through target ratios
established under its Asset/Liability Management policies. Continual monitoring
of these ratios, both historically and through forecasts under multiple interest
rate scenarios, allows TrustCo to employ strategies necessary to maintain
adequate liquidity levels. Management has also developed various liquidity
alternatives should abnormal situations develop.
The Company achieves its liability-based liquidity objectives in a variety
of ways. Liabilities can be classified into three categories for the purposes of
managing liability-based liquidity: core deposits, purchased money, and capital
market funds. TrustCo seeks deposits that are dependable and predictable, and
that are based as much on the level and quality of service as they are on
interest rate. For 2001,average core deposits (total deposits less time deposits
greater than $100 thousand) amounted to $1.90 billion, compared to $1.87 billion
in 2000. Average balances of core deposits are detailed in the table "Mix of
Average Sources of Funding."
In addition to core deposits, another source of liability-based funding
available to TrustCo is purchased money, which consists of long-term and
short-term borrowings, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase
agreements, and time deposits greater than $100 thousand. The average balances
of these purchased liabilities are detailed in the table "Mix of Average Sources
of Funding." During 2001, the average balance of purchased liabilities was
$336.9 million, compared with $283.4 million in 2000 and $264.7 million in 1999.
In addition, TrustCo has approximately $250 million available under lines of
credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.
Off-Balance Sheet Risk
Commitments to extend credit: The Banks make contractual commitments to
extend credit, and extend lines of credit which are subject to the Banks' credit
approval and monitoring procedures. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, commitments
to extend credit in the form of loans, including unused lines of credit,
amounted to $243.3 million and $224.6 million, respectively. In management's
opinion, there are no material commitments to extend credit that represent
unusual risk.
Letters of credit and standby letters of credit: The Banks guarantee the
obligations or performance of customers by issuing letters of credit and standby
letters of credit to third parties. These letters of credit are used to support
third party debt, such as corporate debt issuances, industrial revenue bonds,
and municipal securities. The credit risk involved in letters of credit is
essentially the same as the risk involved in extending loan facilities to
customers, and they are subject to the same standards and management procedures
in effect to monitor other credit risks. At December 31, 2001 and 2000,
outstanding standby letters of credit were approximately $1.1 million and $1.4
million, respectively.
Other off-balance sheet risk: TrustCo does not engage in activities
involving interest rate swaps, forward placement contracts, or any other
instrument commonly referred to as derivatives. Management believes these
instruments pose a high degree of risk, and that investing in them is
unnecessary. TrustCo has no off balance sheet, partnerships, joint ventures, or
other risk sharing entities.
Noninterest income and expense
Noninterest income: Noninterest income is a significant source of revenue
for the Company and an important factor in overall results. Total noninterest
income was $25.8 million in 2001, $16.4 million in 2000 and $15.4 million in
1999. Included in the 2001 results are $4.5 million of net securities gains
compared with net losses of approximately $5.0 million in 2000 and $5.4 million
in 1999. Excluding securities transactions, noninterest income was $21.3
million, $21.4 million, and $20.9 million in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
The Trust Department contributes a large recurring portion of noninterest
income through fees generated by providing fiduciary and investment management
services. Income from these fiduciary activities totaled $7.8 million in 2001,
$8.7 million in 2000, and $8.1 million in 1999. Trust fees are generally
calculated as a percentage of the assets under management by the Trust
Department.

Changes in fees for services to customers reflect changes in the fee scale used for pricing the services and the volume of services customers utilized.
Noninterest expense: Noninterest expense was $51.3 million in 2001, compared
with $47.8 million in 2000 and $45.6 million in 1999. TrustCo's operating
philosophy stresses the importance of monitoring and controlling the level of
noninterest expense. The efficiency ratio is a strong indicator of how well
controlled and monitored these expenses are for a banking enterprise. TrustCo's
efficiency ratio was 39.0% in 2001, 38.1% in 2000, and 38.6% in 1999. The
general industry goal is the attainment of a 60% efficiency ratio. TrustCo has
consistently outperformed this industry goal by a wide margin since 1994.
Salaries and employee benefits are the most significant component of
noninterest expense. For 2001, these expenses amounted to $25.9 million,
compared with $23.3 million in 2000, and $25.0million in 1999.
Changes in other components of noninterest expense are the results of
normal banking activities and the increased activities associated with new
branching facilities.

TrustCo has entered into multi year contract with Fiserv Solutions, Inc. to perform certain operating pr ocedures for the Company. The contract requires the Banks to convert to the Fiserv operating system during the first half of 2002. Upon completion, the monthly billing for services will commence. Services included with the contract are data processing, item processing, back room operations for the Bank, and trust operations. Annual cost of the contract is estimated to be $5 million which will offset cost being eliminated. In 2002, there will be duplication of certain cost for part of the year as the Company completes the transition to Fiserv. Those duplicate costs are not estimated to be material.
Income Tax
In 2001, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of $19.9 million, as
compared to $20.8 million in 2000 and $19.7 million in 1999. The tax expense on
the Company's income was different than tax expense at the statutory rate of
35%, due primarily to tax exempt income and the effect of New York State income
taxes.
Deferred tax assets are recognized subject to management's judgment that
realization is more likely than not. The valuation allowance of $1.2 million at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, is reserved primarily for federal and state tax law
restrictions on the deductibility of certain temporary differences.
Based primarily on the sufficiency of historical and future taxable income,
management believes it is more likely than not that the remaining net deferred
tax assets of $44.0 million and $39.9 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, will be realized.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles which require the measurement of
financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due
to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increasing cost of
operations.
Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of
the Company are monetary.
As a result, changes in interest rates have a greater impact on the
Company's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation,
because interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the
same extent as the price of goods and services.
Impact of Changes in Accounting Standards
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:
The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (Statement 133), effective
January 1, 2001. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards
for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
condition and measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value
of the derivative financial instruments are reported in either earnings or
comprehensive income, depending on the use of the derivative and whether or not
it qualifies for hedge accounting.
Special hedge accounting treatment is permitted only if specific criteria
are met, including a requirement that the hedging relationship be highly
effective both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Accounting for hedges
varies based on the type of hedge - fair value or cash flow. Results of
effective hedges are recognized in current earnings for fair value hedges and in
other comprehensive income for cash flow hedges. Ineffective portions of hedges
are recognized immediately in earnings and are not deferred.
The adoption of Statement 133 as of January 1, 2001, did not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. If the
Company were to invest in derivative investments, there could be increased
volatility in net income and shareholders' equity on an ongoing basis as a
result of accounting for derivative instruments in accordance with Statement
133.
In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" (Statement
140). Statement 140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers
and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. Under
Statement 140, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the
financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred,
derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and
derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. Statement 140 also provides
standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from
transfers that are secured borrowings. Statement 140 was effective for certain
disclosures in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000, and for transactions
occurring after March 31, 2001. The adoption of Statement 140 did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
141, "Business Combinations"(Statement 141) and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" (Statement 142). Statement 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001. Statement 141 also specifies criteria that intangible
assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be
recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement 142 will require that
goodwill and intangible assets within definite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance
with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 will also require that
intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective
estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for
impairment in accordance with Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of".
The Company is required to adopt the provisions of Statement 141
immediately and Statement 142 effective January 1, 2002. Furthermore, any
goodwill and any intangible asset determined to have an indefinite useful life
that are acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June
30,2001, will not be amortized, but will continue to be evaluated for impairment
in accordance with the appropriate pre-Statement 142 accounting literature.
Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business combinations completed
before July 1, 2001, will continue to be amortized prior to the adoption of
Statement 142.
As of December 31, 2001, the Company had$553 thousand of unamortized
goodwill which will be subject to the transition provisions of Statements 141
and 142. Amortization expense related to goodwill was $62 thousand for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2001.
The adoption of these Statements did not have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
Pursuant to recent SEC guidance, management of the Company is encouraged to
evaluate and disclose those accounting policies that are judged to be critical
policies - those most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial
condition and results, and that require management's most difficult subjective
or complex judgments. Management considers the accounting policy relating to the
allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherent
uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to cover credit
losses in the portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on
the results of operations. Included in the notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements is a description in Note 1 of the significant accounting policies
that are utilized by the Company in the preparation of the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements included in this review and in future filings by TrustCo with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, in TrustCo's press releases, and in oral
statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, which are
not historical or current facts, are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected. TrustCo wishes to caution readers not to place undue
reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
made. The following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected
and in the future could affect TrustCo's actual results, and could cause
TrustCo's actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed
in any forward-looking statement:(1) credit risk, (2) interest rate risk, (3)
competition, (4) changes in the regulatory environment, and (5) changes in
general business and economic trends. The fore-going list should not be
construed as exhaustive, and the Company disclaims any obligation to
subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of
anticipated or unanticipated events.

Management's Statement of Responsibilities
Responsibility for the financial information presented in the Annual Report rests with TrustCo Bank Corp NY's management. The Company believes that the consolidated financial statements reflect fairly the substance of transactions and present fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the circumstances, applying certain estimates and judgments as required.
In meeting its responsibilities for the reliability of the consolidated financial statements, the Company depends on its system of internal accounting controls. The system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with the appropriate corporate authorizations and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Although accounting control procedures are designed to achieve these objectives, it must be recognized that errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur. Also, estimates and judgments are required to assess and balance the relative cost and expected benefits of the controls. The Company believes that its accounting controls provide reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could be material to the consolidated financial statements are prevented or would be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. An important element of the system of internal controls is a continuing and extensive internal audit program.
The Board of Directors of the Company has an Audit Committee composed entirely of directors who are not officers or employees of the Company. The Committee meets periodically and privately with management, the internal auditors, and the independent public accountants to consider audit results and to discuss internal accounting controls, auditing, and financial reporting matters.
KPMG LLP, independent public accountants, have been engaged to render an independent professional opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Their audit is conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and forms the basis for their report as to the fair presentation, in the consolidated financial statements, of the Company's financial position, operating results and cash flows.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of TrustCo Bank Corp NY:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Basis of Presentation The accounting and financial reporting policies of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (Company or TrustCo), ORE Subsidiary Corp., Trustco Savings Bank and Trustco Bank, National Association (Trustco Bank, National Association and Trustco Savings Bank are referred to as Trustco Banks or Banks) and its operating subsidiary Trustco Realty Corp. conform to general practices within the banking industry and are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. A description of the more significant policies follows. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
of the subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts
and transactions.
Securities Available for Sale
Securities available for sale are carried at approximate market value with
any unrealized appreciation or depreciation of value, net of tax, included as an
element of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders' equity.
Management maintains an available for sale portfolio in order to provide maximum
flexibility in balance sheet management. The designation of available for sale
is made at the time of purchase based upon management's intent to hold the
securities for an indefinite period of time. These securities, however, are
available for sale in response to changes in market interest rates, related
changes in liquidity needs, or changes in the availability of and yield on
alternative investments. Unrealized losses on securities that reflect a decline
in value which is other than temporary, if any, are charged to income.
Nonmarketable equity securities (principally stock of the Federal Reserve Bank
and the Federal Home Loan Bank, both of which are required holdings for the
Company) are included in securities available for sale at cost since there is no
readily available market value.
The cost of debt securities available for sale is adjusted for amortization
of premium and accretion of discount on a method that equates to the level
yield. Gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are based
on the amortized cost of the specific security sold.
Loans
Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding net of unearned
income and unamortized loan fees and costs, which are recognized as income over
the applicable loan term.
Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, and loans
which are 3 payments or more past due and still accruing interest. Generally,
loans are placed in nonaccrual status either due to the delinquent status of
principal and/or interest payments, or a judgment by management that, although
payments of principal and/or interest are current, such action is prudent.
Future payments received on nonperforming loans are recorded as interest income
or principal reductions based upon management's ultimate expectation for
collection. Loans may be removed from nonaccrual status when they become current
as to principal and interest and have demonstrated a sustained ability to make
loan payments in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Loans may
also be removed from nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the
loan is expected to be fully collectable as to principal and interest. Impaired
loans have been defined as commercial and commercial real estate loans in
nonaccrual status and restructured loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate
by management to provide for probable loan losses based on consideration of the
credit risk of the loan portfolio, including a review of past experience,
current economic conditions, and underlying collateral value. The allowance is
increased by provisions charged against income and reduced by net charge offs.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan
losses. Such agencies may require the Company to change the allowance based on
their judgments of information available to them at the time of their
examination.
Bank Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization computed on either the straight-line or accelerated methods over
the remaining useful lives of the assets.
Real Estate Owned
Real estate owned are assets acquired through foreclosures on loans.
Foreclosed assets held for sale are recorded on an individual basis at the
lower of (1) fair value minus estimated costs to sell or (2) "cost" (which is
the fair value at initial foreclosure). When a property is acquired, the excess
of the loan balance over fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses.
Subsequent write downs are included in noninterest expense.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are recorded for the future tax consequences of events that
have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns based upon
enacted tax laws and rates. Deferred tax assets are recognized subject to
management's judgment that realization is more likely than not.
Dividend Restrictions
Banking regulations restrict the amount of cash dividends which may be paid
during a year by the Trustco Banks to the Parent Company without the written
consent of the appropriate bank regulatory agency. Based on these restrictions,
Trustco Bank, National Association could pay cash dividends to the Parent
Company in an amount that is approximately equal to 2002 net profits. In
addition, the Parent Company has $63.1 million of assets available to pay
dividends to shareholders.
Pension Plan
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all
of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's
compensation.
Stock Option Plans
The Company's stock option plans are accounted for in accordance with the
provisions of the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" (APB Opinion 25) and as such, no compensation expense
has been recorded for these plans.
Earnings Per Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, taking into consideration the effect of any dilutive stock
options.
Reclassification of Prior Year Statements It is the Company's policy to reclassify prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Segment Reporting
The Company's operations are exclusively in the financial services industry
and include the provision of traditional banking services. Management evaluates
the performance of the Company based on only one business segment, that of
community banking. The Company operates solely in the geographical region of
Upstate New York. In the opinion of management, the Company does not have any
other reportable segments as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" (Statement 131).
(2) Acquisition of Landmark Financial Corporation During the third quarter of 2000, the Company acquired Landmark Financial Corporation of Canajoharie, New York and its wholly owned subsidiary Landmark Community Bank in a purchase business combination. The aggregate cost of the transaction was approximately $3.4 million. At the time of the acquisition, the fair value of Landmark's assets was $26.2 million and the fair value of liabilities was $24.3 million. Goodwill of approximately $1.5 million was recognized as a result of the acquisition. The adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"(Statement 142) effective January 1, 2002 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the acquisition, Landmark was renamed Trustco Savings Bank. The results of operations of Trustco Savings Bank are included in the Company's consolidated statements of income from the date of acquisition.
(3) Balances at Other Banks The Company is required to maintain certain reserves of vault cash and/or deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank. The amount of this reserve requirement, included in cash and due from banks, was approximately $17.4 million and $13.1 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
(4) Securities Available for Sale The amortized cost and approximate market value of the securities available for sale are as follows:
(dollars in thousands) December 31, 2001 Gross Gross Approximate Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Market Cost Gains Losses Value U.S. Treasuries and agencies........ $155,902 4,939 469 160,372 States and political subdivisions........ 213,341 5,036 1,811 216,566 Mortgage-backed securities.......... 93,626 3,193 198 96,621 Other....... 17,614 4 5 17,613 Total debt securities.......... 480,483 13,172 2,483 491,172 Equity securities..... 69,984 26,173 229 95,928 Total securities available for sale.. $550,467 39,345 2,712 587,100 (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2000 Gross Gross Approximate Amortized Unrealized Unrealized Market Cost Gains Losses Value U.S. Treasuries and agencies........ $184,848 4,721 7 189,562 States and political subdivisions........ 167,389 6,121 315 173,195 Mortgage-backed securities........... 184,944 3,800 142 188,602 Other.................. 650 - - 650 Total debt securities.......... 537,831 14,642 464 552,009 Equity securities...... 32,798 20,477 - 53,275 Total securities available for sale.. $570,629 35,119 464 605,284 |
Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Board stock included in equity securities at December 31, 2001 and 2000, was $16.2 million and $15.4 million, respectively. The following table distributes the debt securities included in the available for sale portfolio as of December 31, 2001, based on the securities' final maturity (mortgage-backed securities are stated using an estimated average life):
(dollars in thousands) Approximate Amortized Market Cost Value Due in one year or less................. $ 11,523 11,666 Due after one year through five years... 48,752 50,157 Due after five years through ten years.. 110,118 113,834 Due after ten years..................... 310,090 315,515 $480,483 491,172 |
Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because of
securities prepayments and the right of certain issuers to call or prepay their
obligations without penalty.
The proceeds from sales and calls of securities, gross realized gains and
gross realized losses from sales and calls during 2001, 2000 and 1999 are as
follows:
(dollars in thousands) December 31, 2001 2000 1999 Proceeds........................... $268,533 224,621 228,600 Gross realized gains............... 6,378 2,223 1,20 Gross realized losses.............. 1,861 7,208 6,650 |
The amount of securities available for sale that have been pledged to
secure short-term borrowings, public deposits, and for other purposes required
by law amounted to $256.8 million and $275.3 million at December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively.
There are no securities of a single issuer (excluding issues of the U.S.
government and its agencies) that represent 10% or more of shareholders' equity
at December 31, 2001 and 2000.
(5) Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses A summary of loans by category is as follows:
(dollars in thousands) December 31, 2001 2000 Commercial.............................. $ 212,246 199,516 Construction............................ 12,214 17,275 Residential mortgage loans.............. 1,189,686 1,102,388 Home equity lines of credit............. 122,332 130,725 Installment loans....................... 20,979 26,134 Total loans............................. 1,557,457 1,476,038 Less: Unearned income................... 771 990 Allowance for loan losses.......... 57,203 56,298 Net loans............................... $1,499,483 1,418,750 |
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, loans to executive officers, directors, and
to associates of such persons aggregated $3.5 million and $3.7 million,
respectively. During 2001, $749 thousand of new loans were made and repayments
of loans totalled $979 thousand. In the opinion of management, such loans were
made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions. These loans do not involve more than normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
TrustCo lends primarily in the Capital District region of New York State
and in the geographic territory surrounding its borders. Although the loan
portfolio is diversified, a portion of its debtors' ability to repay is
dependent upon the economic conditions prevailing in New York State.
The following table sets forth information with regard to nonperforming
loans:

$1.0 million in 2000, and $1.1 million in 1999 would have been earned in
accordance with the original contractual terms of the loans. Approximately $524
thousand, $631 thousand, and $562 thousand of interest on nonaccrual and
restructured loans was collected and recognized as income in 2001, 2000, and
1999, respectively. There are no commitments to extend further credit on
nonaccrual or restructured loans.
Transactions in the allowance for loan losses account are summarized as
follows:
(dollars in thousands) For the years ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 Balance at beginning of year.. $56,298 55,820 54,375 Provision for loan losses..... 4,940 4,114 5,063 Allowance of acquired bank.... - 234 - Loans charged off.............

The Company identifies impaired loans and measures the impairment in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 'ccounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan' (Statement 114), as amended. A loan is
considered impaired when it is probable that the borrower will be unable to
repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement
or the loan is restructured in a troubled debt restructuring subsequent to
January 1, 1995. These standards are applicable principally to commercial and
commercial real estate loans; however, certain provisions dealing with
restructured loans also apply to retail loan products.
There were no nonaccrual commercial and commercial real estate loans
classified as impaired loans at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Retail loans
totalling $5.0 million as of December 31, 2001, and $6.2million as of December
31, 2000, were restructured after the effective date of Statement 114 and,
accordingly, are identified as impaired loans. None of the allowance for loan
losses has been specifically allocated to these impaired loans because
management believes that the collateral values support the loan balances.
During 2001, 2000, and 1999, the average balance of impaired loans was $5.1
million, $5.8 million, and $5.0 million, respectively, and there was
approximately $438 thousand, $556 thousand, and $433 thousand of interest income
recorded on these loans in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
(6) Banks Premises and Equipment A summary of premises and equipment at December 31, 2001 and 2000 follows:
(dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 Land.................................... $ 2,959 2,959 Buildings............................... 24,548 22,417 Furniture, fixtures and equipment....... 19,726 18,952 Leasehold improvements.................. 4,328 4,056 51,561 48,348 Accumulated depreciation and amortization.......................... (33,249) (30,968) Total.................................. $ 18,312 17,416 |
Depreciation and amortization expense approximated $2.5 million, $2.0 million, and $2.2 million for the years 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Occupancy expense of Banks premises included rental expense of $1.7million in 2001, $1.5 million in 2000, and $1.5 million in 1999.
(7) Short-Term Borrowings Short-term borrowings consisted of the following:
2001 (dollars in thousands) Securities Trustco Sold Under Short-Term Agreements to Account Repurchase Total Amount outstanding at December 31, 2001 $153,637 64,582 218,219 Maximum amount outstanding at any month end 153,637 80,064 233,701 Average amount outstanding 134,354 71,467 205,821 Weighted average interest rate: For the year 3.64% 2.46 3.23 As of year end 1.68 1.27 1.56 2000 (dollars in thousands) Securities Trustco Sold Under Short-Term Agreements to Account Repurchase Total Amount outstanding at December 31, 2000 $121,817 71,081 192,898 Maximum amount outstanding at any month end 121,817 71,488 193,305 Average amount outstanding 102,597 61,517 164,114 Weighted average interest rate: For the year 5.70% 4.58 5.28 As of year end 5.98 4.49 5.43 |
The Trustco Short-Term Investment Account balances are immediately withdrawable. All short-term borrowings are collateralized by securities of the Banks pledged for that purpose. Trustco has approximately $250 million of available lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank.
(8) Long-Term Debt Long-term debt at December 31, 2001 and 2000, of $624 thousand and $911 thousand consisted of FHLB term loans with interest rates ranging from 5.18% to 6.29% and maturities ranging from January 2002 to October 2008. This debt was acquired as part of the Landmark Financial Corp. acquisition during 2000. The FHLB loans are collateralized with 1-4 family residential mortgages
(9) Income Taxes A summary of income tax expense/(benefit) included in the consolidated statements of income follows:
For the years ended December 31, (dollars in thousands).... 2001 2000 1999 Current tax expense: Federal..................... $22,129 19,620 18,248 State....................... 1,940 2,514 3,358 Total current tax expense..... 24,069 22,134 21,606 Deferred tax benefit.......... (4,133) (1,297) (1,882) Total income tax expense...... $19,936 20,837 19,724 |
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2001 and 2000, are as follows:
December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 Deductible/ Deductible/ (taxable) (taxable) temporary temporary differences differences Bond accounting......................... $ (472) (605) Benefits and deferred remuneration.......................... 6,250 5,560 Deferred loan fees, net................. 319 412 Difference in reporting the provision for loan losses, net........ 25,370 24,383 Other income or expense not yet reported for tax purposes..... 10,607 8,851 Depreciable assets...................... 2,033 1,689 Purchase accounting adjustments.........

Deferred tax assets are recognized subject to management's judgment that
realization is more likely than not. The valuation allowance of $1.2 million at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, have been recognized due to tax law restrictions on
the deductibility of certain temporary differences. Based primarily on the
sufficiency of historical and future taxable income, management believes it is
more likely than not that the remaining net deferred tax asset of $44.0 million
and $39.9 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, will be realized.
In addition to the deferred tax items described in the preceding table, the
Company also has deferred tax liabilities of $15.0 million at December 31, 2001,
and $14.1 million at December 31, 2000, relating to the net unrealized gains on
securities available for sale at the respective dates.
The effective tax rates differ from the statutory federal income tax rate.
The reasons for these differences are as follows:
For the years ended December 31, 2001 2000 1999 Statutory federal income tax rate.. 35.0% 35.0 35.0 Increase/(decrease) in taxes resulting from: Tax exempt income............... (5.2) (4.1) (4.0) State income tax, net of federal tax benefit............ 1.1 2.3 3.3 Reduction in the tax rates...... - - 1.5 Change in valuation reserve..... - - (1.5) Other items..................... (0.4) 0.1 (0.2) Effective income tax rate.......... 30.5% 33.3 34.1 (10) Benefit Plans |
(a) Retirement Plan The Company maintains a trusteed non-contributory pension plan covering employees that have completed one year of employment and 1,000 hours of service. The benefits are based on the sum of (a) a benefit equal to a prior service benefit plus the average of the employees' highest five consecutive years' compensation in the ten years preceding retirement multiplied by a percentage of service after a specified date plus (b) a benefit based upon career average compensation. The amounts contributed to the plan are determined annually on the basis of (a) the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes or (b) the amount certified by a consulting actuary as necessary to avoid an accumulated funding deficiency as defined by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. Assets of the plan are invested primarily in common stock, fixed income common funds, and index funds and are administered by Trustco Bank, National Association's Trust Department. The following tables set forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of condition at December 31, 2001 and 2000:
Change in Projected Benefit Obligation:
(dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year.......... $21,538 21,363 Service cost.................... 766 825 Interest cost................... 1,358 1,378 Benefits paid...................

(5,725) (9,638) Unrecognized prior service cost......... 756 768 Prepaid benefit cost.................... $ 4,184 3,490 |
Components of Net Periodic Pension Benefit:
For the years ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 Service cost............................ $ 766 825 1,012 Interest cost........................... 1,358 1,378 1,339 Expected return on plan assets..........

The weighted average discount rate, the rate of increase in future compensation levels, and the expected long-term rate of return used in determining the actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations, are as follows:
2001 2000 1999 Weighted average discount rate ......... 6.75% 6.75 6.75 Rate of increase in future compensation......................... 6.50 6.50 6.50 Expected long-term rate of return on assets............................. 7.25 7.25 6.50 |
The Company also has a supplementary pension plan under which additional
retirement benefits are accrued for eligible executive and senior officers. The
expense recorded for this plan was $4.4 million,$3.4 million, and $4.3 million,
in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
Effective December 31, 2001, the supplementary pension plan for the chief
executive officer was frozen and, other than interest, no additional
contributions to the plan will be made. This will reduce the anticipated cost of
the plan by approximately $3 million for 2002.
Rabbi trusts have been established for certain benefit plans. These rabbi
trust accounts are administered by the Company's Trust Department and invest
primarily in the Trustco Short-Term Investment Account. These assets are
recorded at their market value and are included as other assets in the December
31, 2001 and 2000, consolidated statements of condition.
(b) Postretirement Benefits The Company permits retirees under age 65 to participate in the Company's medical plan by paying the same premium as the active employees. At age 65, the Banks provide a Medicare Supplemental program to retirees. Assets of the plan are invested primarily in individual stock, index funds, and tax exempt bonds. The following tables show the plan' funded status and amounts recognized in the Company' consolidated statements of condition at December 31, 2001 and 2000.
Change in Accumulated Benefit Obligation:
Projected Post- Retirement Benefits (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 Accumulated benefit obligation at beginning of year..............$6,090 6,570 Service cost........................ 250 253 Retiree contributions............... 121 110 Interest cost....................... 408 368 Benefits paid.......................

Components of Net Periodic Benefit:
For the years ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2001 2000 1999 Service cost............................ $ 250 253 262 Interest cost........................... 408 368 369 Expected return on plan assets.......... (502) (568) (454) Amortization of net actuarial gain...... (261) (374) (277) Net periodic benefit.................... $(105) (321) (100) |
For measurement purposes, a 7.0% annual rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) was assumed for
2002 and thereafter. A one percentage point increase in the assumed health care
cost in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation, as of December 31, 2001, by approximately $1.1 million, and would
increase the aggregate of the service and the interest cost components of net
periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2001, by
approximately $160 thousand. A one percentage point decrease in the assumed
health care cost in each year would decrease the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation by approximately $1.4 million as of December 31, 2001, and
would decrease the aggregate of the service and the interest cost components of
net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2001,
by approximately $156 thousand.
The weighted average assumptions used to determine the accumulated benefit
obligation at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, were:
2001 2000 1999 Discount rate...................... 6.75% 6.75 6.75 After tax return on plan assets.... 4.30 4.30 3.84
(c) Incentive and Bonus Plans The Company provides a profit-sharing plan for substantially all employees. The expense of this plan, which is based on management discretion as defined in the plan, amounted to $1.0 million in 2001 and$1.1 million in both 2000 and 1999. The Company also has an executive incentive plan. The expense of this plan is based on the Company's performance and estimated distributions to participants are accrued during the year and generally paid in the following year. The expense recorded for this plan was $3.9 million, $3.8 million, and $3.3 million in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Company has awarded 3.2 million performance bonus units to the executive officers and directors. These units become vested and exercisable only under a change of control as defined in the plan. The units were awarded based upon the stock price at the time of grant and, if exercised under a change of control, allow the holder to receive the increase in value offered in the exchange over the stock price at the date of grant for each unit.
(d) Stock Option Plans At December 31, 2001, the Company has stock option plans for officers and directors as described below. TrustCo applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for these plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for these fixed stock option plans. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (Statement 123), the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated as follows:
(dollars in thousands except per share data) 2001 2000 1999 Net income: As reported............ $45,510 41,702 38,185 Pro forma............. 44,324 40,566 37,143 Basic earnings per share: As reported............ $ .640 .590 .537 Pro forma................. .623 .574 .523 Diluted earnings per share: As reported................ .618 .571 .516 Pro forma.................. .603 .555 .502 |
Pro forma net income and earnings per share reflect options granted since
1995. The full impact of calculating compensation cost for all stock options
under Statement 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income and earnings
per share amounts presented above because compensation cost is reflected over
the options'vesting period and compensation cost for options granted prior to
January 1, 1995, is not considered.
Under the 1995 TrustCo Bank Corp NY Stock Option Plan, the Company may
grant options to its eligible employees for up to approximately 7.9 million
shares of common stock. Under the 1993 Directors Stock Option Plan, the Company
may grant options to its directors for up to approximately 531 thousand shares
of its common stock. Under both plans, the exercise price of each option equals
the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant, and an option's
maximum term is ten years. Options vest over five years from the date the
options are granted for the employee plan and they are immediately vested under
the directors' plan. A summary of the status of TrustCo's stock option plans as
of December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, and changes during the years ended on those
dates are as follows:
Outstanding Options Exercisable Options Weighted Weighted Average Average Option Option Shares Price Shares Price Balance, January 1, 1999.... 8,588,153 $ 4.76 6,356,802 $ 4.10 New options awarded - 1999.. 945,588 10.00 210,278 10.00 Exercised options - 1999.... 631,989 3.08 631,989 3.08 Options became exercisable.. - - 904,336 6.01 Balance, December 31, 1999.. 8,901,752 5.44 6,839,427 4.63 New options awarded - 2000.. 831,853 9.47 189,647 9.47 Cancelled options - 2000.... 86,842 8.52 86,842 8.52 Exercised options - 2000.... 352,834 4.38 352,834 4.38 Options became exercisable.. - - 1,080,550 7.51 Balance, December 31, 2000.. 9,293,929 5.81 7,669,948 5.12 New options awarded - 2001.. 876,702 9.75 194,384 9.75 Cancelled options - 2001.... 129,621 9.73 129,621 9.73 Exercised options - 2001.... 1,235,206 3.65 1,235,206 3.65 Options became exercisable.. - - 928,163 8.73 Balance, December 31, 2001.. 8,805,804 $ 6.44 7,427,668 $ 5.85 |
The fair value of each option as of the grant date, estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model, and calculated in accordance with Statement 123 was as follows for options granted in the year indicated:
Employees' Directors' Plan Plan 2001....................... $1.791 1.800 2000....................... 1.965 1.920 1999....................... 2.049 1.989 |
The following assumptions were utilized in the calculation of the fair value of the options under Statement 123:
Employees' Directors' Plan Plan Expected dividend yield: 2001.................... 5.07% 5.07 2000.................... 4.50 4.50 1999.................... 4.17 4.17 Risk-free interest rate: 2001.................... 4.63 4.56 2000.................... 6.68 6.63 1999.................... 5.96 5.92 Expected volatility rate: 2001.................. 22.90 23.42 2000.................. 20.85 22.18 1999................... 20.91 21.95 Expected lives.......... 7.5 years 6.0 years |

(11) Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
(a) Leases
The Banks lease certain banking premises. These leases are accounted for as
operating leases with minimum rental commitments in the amounts presented below.
The majority of these leases contain options to renew.
(dollars in thousands) 2002..................... $1,247 2003..................... 1,206 2004..................... 1,151 2005..................... 1,022 2006..................... 793 2007 and after........... 4,694 $10,113 |
(b) Litigation Existing litigation arising in the normal course of business is not expected to result in any material loss to the Company.
(c) Time Deposits
At December 31, 2001, the maturity of total time deposits is as follows:
(dollars in thousands) Under 1 year............. $608,042 1 to 2 years............. 223,466 2 to 3 years............. 27,493 3 to 4 years............. 12,302 4 to 5 years............. 4,697 Over 5 years............. 1,301 $877,301 |
(d) Outsourced Services During the fourth quarter 2001, the Company contracted with Fiserv Solutions, Inc. to perform certain banking functions beginning 2002. The outsourced services include data processing, item processing, back room bank operations, and trust operations. The contract requires Trustco Banks to convert to the Fiserv system during the first half of 2002 after which the monthly billings will commence. The contract is estimated at $5 million annually and can vary based upon volume and nature of transactions processed. The additional cost of the contract will be offset by cost reduction from personnel and equipment as the various responsibilities are assumed under the contract.
(12) Earnings Per Share A reconciliation of the component parts of earnings per share for 2001, 2000 and 1999 follows:
(dollars in thousands, Weighted except per share data) Average Shares Per share Income Outstanding Amounts For the year ended December 31, 2001: Basic EPS: Income available to common shareholders......... $45,510 71,154 $.640 Effect of Dilutive Securities: Stock Options............... - 2,519 - Diluted EPS................... $45,510 73,673 $.618 For the year ended December 31, 2000: Basic EPS: Income available to common shareholders...... $41,702 70,693 $.590 Effect of Dilutive Securities: Stock Options............... - 2,350 - Diluted EPS................... $41,702 73,043 $.571 For the year ended December 31, 1999: Basic EPS: Income available to common shareholders......... $38,185 71,012 $.537 Effect of Dilutive Securities: Stock Options............... - 2,928 - Diluted EPS................... $38,185 73,940 $.516 |
The number of antidilutive stock options excluded from diluted Earnings Per Share for 2001 and 2000 was not significant. At December 31, 2001, there were no antidilutive stock options outstanding.
(13) Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments Loan commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require a fee. Commitments sometimes expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. These arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Banks' normal credit policies, including obtaining collateral. The Banks'maximum exposure to credit loss for loan commitments, including unused lines of credit, at December 31, 2001 and 2000, was $243.3 million and $224.6 million, respectively. Approximately 60% of these commitments were for variable rate products at the end of 2001. Letters of credit and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Banks' normal credit 'loss for standby letters of credit at December 31, 2001 and 2000, was $1.1million and $1.4 million, respectively. No losses are anticipated as a result of loan commitments or standby letters of credit.
(14) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair values shown below represent management' estimates of values at which the various types of financial instruments could be exchanged in transactions between willing, unrelated parties. They do not necessarily represent amounts that would be received or paid in actual transactions.

The specific estimation methods and assumptions used can have a substantial impact on the resulting fair values of financial instruments. Following is a brief summary of the significant methods and assumptions used in estimating fair values:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying values of these financial instruments approximates fair
values.
Securities
Fair values for all securities portfolios are based upon quoted market
prices, where available. The carrying value of certain local, unrated municipal
obligations was used as an approximation of fair value.
Loans
The fair values of all loans are estimated using discounted cash flow
analyses with discount rates equal to the interest rates currently being offered
for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair values disclosed for noninterest bearing deposits, interest
bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts are, by
definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date. The
carrying value of all variable rate certificates of deposit approximates fair
value. The fair value of fixed rate certificates of deposit is estimated using
discounted cash flow analyses with discount rates equal to the interest rates
currently being offered on certificates of similar size and remaining maturity.
Short-Term Borrowings, Long-Term Debt and Other Financial Instruments The fair value of all short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and other financial instruments approximates the carrying value.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk. Such financial instruments consist of commitments to extend financing and
standby letters of credit. If the commitments are exercised by the prospective
borrowers, these financial instruments will become interest earning assets of
the Company. If the commitments expire, the Company retains any fees paid by the
prospective borrower. The fair value of commitments is estimated based upon fees
currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into consideration
the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the
borrower . For fixed rate commitments, the fair value estimation takes into
consideration an interest rate risk factor. The fair value of these off-balance
sheet items approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees, which are
considered to be immaterial.
The Company does not engage in activities involving interest rate swaps,
forward placement contracts, or any other instruments commonly referred to as
derivatives.
(15)Regulatory Capital Requirements Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) capital regulations require banks to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Under the regulations in effect at December 31, 2001 and 2000, Trustco Bank was required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 (leverage) capital to total adjusted quarterly average assets of 4.00% and minimum ratios of Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk weighted assets of 4.00% and 8.00%, respectively. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted similar requirements for the consolidated capital of bank holding companies. The regulations establish a framework for the classification of banks into five categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, under capitalized, significantly under capitalized and critically under capitalized. Generally, an institution is considered well capitalized if it has a Tier 1 (leverage) capital ratio of at least 5.0% (based on total adjusted quarterly average assets), a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%. The foregoing capital ratios are based on specific quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulator about capital components, risk weighting and other factors. Management believes that as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, Trustco Banks and the Company met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject. Further,the most recent regulator notification categorized the Banks as well-capitalized institutions. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company's capital classification. Under its prompt corrective action regulations, the regulators are required to take certain supervisory actions (and may take additional discretionary actions) with respect to an undercapitalized institution. Such actions could have a direct material effect on an institution's financial statements. As stated above, the Company has been classified as well capitalized for regulatory purposes, and therefore, these regulations do not apply. The following is a summary of actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, for the Company and its principal subsidiary Trustco Bank, National Association:
(dollars in thousands) As of December 31, 2001 Amount Ratio Tier 1 (leverage) capital: Trustco Bank, NA............... $ 150,923 6.07% TrustCo Bank Corp NY........... 183,170 7.72 Tier 1 risk-based capital: Trustco Bank, NA............... 150,923 11.47 TrustCo Bank Corp NY........... 183,170 13.58 Total risk-based capital: Trustco Bank, NA............... 167,870 12.75 TrustCo Bank Corp NY........... 200,531 14.86 (dollars in thousands) As of December 31, 2000 Amount Ratio Tier 1 (leverage) capital: Trustco Bank, NA............... $145,325 6.17% TrustCo Bank Corp NY........... 174,267 7.31 Tier 1 risk-based capital: Trustco Bank, NA............... 145,325 12.04 TrustCo Bank Corp NY........... 174,267 14.03 Total risk-based capital: Trustco Bank, NA............... 160,922 13.33 TrustCo Bank Corp NY........... 190,301 15.32 |
