PRUDENTIAL SAVINGS ASSOCIATION
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
EFFECTIVE: JANUARY 1, 1986
<PAGE>
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
Prudential has implemented a voluntary deferred compensation plan which will
allow directors and certain executive employees to defer part of their income at
their election. The purpose of the program is to allow directors and select
executive employees who find themselves in the higher tax brackets to defer
income until a future date when their tax burden may not be as great. This
program will be administered by a Deferred Compensation Committee approved by
the Board of Directors.
Advantage and Disadvantages to Employees and Directors
For an employee or director the deferred compensation plan offers the following
advantages:
1. It defers income and thus tax on such income until the Participant
is in a potentially lower tax bracket.
2. It allows the amount deferred to increase through appreciation on a
tax deferred basis.
An employee or director who defers income, however, is treated as a general
creditor of his employer and his deferred compensation is co-mingled with other
assets of Prudential. Payment by Prudential of deferred compensation is not
guaranteed by the FSLIC as are savings accounts. This general creditor status is
viewed as a significant disadvantage of deferred compensation plan.
Consideration for an Employee or Director Contemplating a Deferred Compensation
Arrangement
1. Employee should be in a strong financial position with current
income substantially in excess of current expense.
2. Employee's current income tax bracket must be high with the
prospects of staying high only to retirement. At retirement the
employee's tax bracket should potentially decrease if the deferred
compensation approach is to be entirely effective.
3. The savings produced by having payments taxed at a lower bracket at
payout should exceed the after-tax income that could have been
earned by the employee if he had received the compensation, paid tax
on it and invested it.
4. The employer should be in sound financial condition with the
likelihood of remaining so throughout both the accumulation period
and the payout period.

Description of the Agreement
1. Eligibility - employees eligible for participation in this program are
directors and select executive employees as determined by the Board of
Directors.
2. Deferral Amount - an employee may defer an amount of his compensation if
he does so no later than the December 31st preceding the year in which the
compensation is earned.
Example: An employee is currently earning $40,000 per year or $3,333. per month.
He would like to defer $500. a month and receive taxable income of
$2,833. per month beginning on January 1, 1987. To do so he must
make his election to defer $500. no later than December 31, 1986.
Investment of Deferred Income
Prudential may keep the deferred amounts in cash or invested in mutual funds,
stocks, bonds, securities or any other asset (including life insurance) as
selected by the Deferred Compensation Committee. If the deferred amounts are
kept in cash, interest will be credited at a rate equal to one (1%) percent less
than the earnings on Prudential's mortgage portfolio as determined on March
31st, June 30th, September 30th and December 31st of each year.
The employee assumes all investment risks. There is no guarantee of interest and
principal.
Payment of Deferred Compensation Balance
Payment from the Deferred Compensation Agreement will generally be in a lump sum
or in six or twelve annual installments as the employee or directors elect.
Payments will begin no later than 30 days following the termination of
employment or the attaining of seventy (70) years of age as the employee or
director. During the payout period the funds still are subject to investment
risk. Other payout arrangements may be made at the Committee's discretion.
