		Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 27, 2007, Lawrence Schiavi resigned his employment from Greater Buffalo Savings Bank as Executive Vice President - Mortgage Banking Division. Greater Buffalo Savings Bank (the Bank) is the wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Great Lakes Bancorp, Inc. Mr. Schiavi’s resignation had immediate effect.

Mr. Schiavi joined the Bank in July 2006 to oversee the Bank’s residential mortgage banking activities. Prior to Mr. Schiavi’s arrival, the Bank originated residential mortgage loans primarily for investment purposes. Upon Mr. Schiavi’s arrival, the Bank shifted its strategy to one of originating mortgage loans principally for sale in the short-term to third-party investors. Also under Mr. Schiavi’s direction, the Bank increased its internal loan origination capabilities in Buffalo and established two loan origination offices in Long Island, New York.

With Mr. Schiavi’s resignation, the Bank entered into a separation and consulting agreement with him. In return for mortgage banking consulting services to be provided through December 31, 2007, Mr. Schiavi will receive seven equal biweekly payments of $7,692 each through year-end and a final payment of $171,154 on January 10, 2008. He will also be entitled to continued participation in the Bank’s group medical plan under existing employer and employee cost-sharing provisions through December 31, 2007. The separation and consulting agreement contains non-compete, non-solicitation and confidentiality clauses upon which delivery of the aforementioned benefits is dependent. The agreement also contains a standard revocation clause that permits Mr. Schiavi to revoke the agreement in its entirety at any time prior to October 5, 2007.

A copy of the agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the key terms of the agreement is qualified in its entirety by the incorporation of the complete agreement.
