corporation or other business, professional or commercial entity.

        3.      Compensation and Benefits.

                (a)     Salary. Except as otherwise herein provided, all salary
or other compensation payable to Executive shall be payable by Bank. The Bank
shall pay to Executive a base salary (the "Base Salary") of not less than
$___________ per year, payable in proportionate installments in accordance with
the payroll policies of the Bank from time to time in effect. The Base Salary
shall be subject to annual review during the Employment Period in accordance
with the personnel policies of the Bank as from time to time in effect and shall
in this connection be subject to such adjustments as may in the judgment of the
Bank be appropriate in view of Executive's performance, the financial condition
and results of operations of the Bank, and such other factors as the Bank Board
or the Bank President determines to be relevant. Bank shall review Executive's
Base Salary no less often than annually, annual reviews to be completed on or
before May 31 of each year and any Base Salary

<PAGE>   2

increase to be retroactive to the first pay period of the year. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at no time during the Employment Term shall Executive have the
right to receive or continue to receive a Base Salary in excess of the initial
Base Salary for which provision is made herein, except as provided in section 13
hereof.

                (b)     Vacation, Insurance, and Employee Benefits. Executive
shall during the Employment Period be entitled to: (i) not less than 18 business
days paid vacation each year, (ii) sick leave in accordance with the personnel
policies of the Bank as from time to time in effect, and (iii) benefits under
such profit sharing, group life insurance, accident and health insurance plans,
and other employee benefit plans as may from time to time be adopted by the Bank
for the benefit of its employees generally, as and to the extent determined by
the Bank and in accordance with the terms of any such plan.

                (c)     Reimbursement of Expenses. Bank shall reimburse
Executive for all ordinary and necessary out-of-pocket business expenses
incurred by Executive in connection with the discharge of Executive's duties and
responsibilities hereunder during the Employment Period in accordance with
Bank's expense approval and reporting procedures then in effect and upon
presentation to Bank of an itemized account and written proof of such expenses,
as provided in such procedures.

                (d)     Club Memberships. During the Employment Period, Bank
shall provide Executive with one or more memberships in such social, athletic,
or similar clubs or organizations, at Bank's expense, as the Bank Board deems
appropriate from time to time. Upon Termination of the Employment Period for any
reason, Executive shall have the right to continue such membership or
memberships at Executive's expense, provided that Executive shall reimburse Bank
in full for any initiation or equity payment made by Bank in consideration of
such membership or memberships, excluding annual membership dues or assessments.

                (e)     Disability. In the event that Executive becomes subject
to the provisions of Bank's short-term or long-term disability policy,
Executive's compensation shall be governed by the terms thereof during the term
of the short-term or long-term disability.

        4.      Additional Compensation.

                (a)     Additional Compensation. In addition to the Base Salary
to be paid to Executive during the Employment Period, the Bank shall determine
Executive's eligibility for incentive compensation under Bank's Bonus
Compensation Plan (the "Additional Compensation") in respect of each calendar
year during the Employment Period under a formula approved by the Bank Board, as
may be amended from time to time, and shall pay any such Additional
Compensation, as so determined, to Executive. Benefits payable under the Bank's
Bonus Compensation Plan shall be payable at times and under terms specified by
the Board and by the plan. The Additional Compensation may be paid in whole or
in part in cash or in stock of PennRock Financial Services Corp. (the
"Company").

                (b)     Effect of Termination of Employment Period.

                        (1)     General Rule. Executive acknowledges and agrees
that the timing of the payment of the Additional Compensation is intended in
part to create an inducement for

<PAGE>   3

Executive to remain in the employ of the Bank. Therefore, except as otherwise
specifically provided in Section 4(b)(2), Executive shall not be entitled to
receive any Additional Compensation in respect of a given calendar year unless
he is employed by the Bank as of the Additional Compensation Payment Date for
the Additional Compensation, if any, payable in respect of such calendar year.

                        (2)     Exceptions to General Rule. In the event that
the Employment Period terminates by reason of: (i) the exercise by the Bank of
its right not to renew pursuant to Section 5 below, (ii) Executive's disability
or death, (iii) the exercise by the Bank of its right to terminate the
Employment Period without cause pursuant to Section 8 below, or (iv) the
exercise by Executive of his right to terminate the Employment Period for Good
Reason pursuant to Section 11 below, then in such event Executive shall be
entitled to receive his Additional Compensation, as follows:

                                (A)     Prior Calendar Year Additional
Compensation. If any Additional Compensation is payable in respect of the
calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the termination of the
Employment Period occurs but such Additional Compensation remains unpaid as of
the date of such termination, then such Additional Compensation shall be paid in
full upon the Additional Compensation Payment Date.

                                (B)     Current Calendar Year Additional
Compensation. No Additional Compensation shall be payable in such event in
respect of the calendar year in which the termination of the Employment Period
occurs.

                (c)     Authority and Discretion of the Bank. Executive
acknowledges that management decisions relating to the operation of the business
of the Bank, including, without limitation, decisions relating to the incurring
of expenses (including the method of allocating to the Bank overhead expenses
incurred by Bank and/or Company) and the timing of income, will affect Adjusted
Net Income in a given calendar year and agrees that this Section 4 shall not be
construed to limit in any respect whatsoever the reasonable discretion of the
Bank to make such decisions and that all such decisions shall be made by the
Bank in its sole and absolute discretion.

        5. Employment Period.

                (a)     Initial Period. The Employment Period shall begin on the

effective date of termination, (B) the Bank shall pay the severance benefit, if
any, to which Executive may be entitled under Section 12 or 13 below, and (C)

PennRock's Board of Directors, to perform the essential functions of his
positions on a full-time basis, with or without a reasonable accommodation and
without posing a threat to himself or others. It is agreed that, in such event,

provision of this Agreement by the Bank, (ii) a reduction by the Bank, in any
material respect and without Executive's written consent, of the authority,

Fifty (50%) percent or more of the combined voting power of, respectively,
Company's or Bank's securities then outstanding;

                (3)     There occurs a change in control of a nature that would

Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act, as enacted and in force on
the date hereof, whether or not Bank or Company is then subject to such
reporting requirement.

For purposes of this Agreement, the entity resulting from any Change in Control
which is successor to Bank or Company is herein referred to as the Successor
Company.

                (d)     Anything to the contrary in this section
notwithstanding, any change in Executive's position resulting from any
"spin-off" or severance of the department or division over which Executive has
authority into a separate entity, being a wholly-owned subsidiary of either Bank

termination of service hereunder, except to the extent that the result of such

<PAGE>   7

action is to substantially and materially reduce the authority, duties,
compensation, benefits or other terms and conditions of Executive's employment
hereunder.

        12.     Severance Benefit.

                (a)     General. The Bank shall provide to Executive the
severance benefit provided for in this Section 12 in the event that the
Employment Period is terminated by reason of: (i) an election by the Bank not to
renew this Agreement pursuant to Section 6 above, (ii) an election by the Bank
to terminate the Employment Period without cause pursuant to Section 9 above, or
(iii) an election by Executive to terminate the Employment Period for Good
Reason pursuant to Section 11(b)(i) or 11(b)(ii) above. Executive shall not be
entitled to receive the severance benefit provided for in this Section 12 if the
Employment Period is terminated for any reason other than those identified in
the preceding sentence.

                (b)     Salary Continuation. The Bank shall for a period of
twelve (12) months from the date of termination of the Employment Period
continue to pay to Executive the annual compensation in effect on the date of
such termination.

                (c)     Medical Insurance Premium Reimbursement. If Executive
and his dependents who are qualified beneficiaries are eligible to elect
continuation of medical insurance benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1995 ("COBRA") and if Executive elects to purchase such
COBRA continuation coverage for himself and/or for his qualified beneficiaries,
then in such event the Bank shall reimburse Executive in an amount equal to the
monthly premium paid by him to obtain such coverage, net of the amount which
employees of the Bank are required to contribute toward the purchase of medical
insurance benefits under the personnel policies of the Bank then in effect,
which reimbursement shall continue until the first of the following to occur:
(i) the expiration of the Salary continuation Period as set forth in section
12(b) hereof, and (ii) the qualification of Executive and his qualified
beneficiaries for substantially equivalent coverage under any medical insurance
policy maintained by any future employer of Executive. Reimbursement as provided
for herein shall be made by the Bank to Executive monthly within five (5)
business days following the presentation by Executive to the Bank of evidence of
payment by him of the periodic COBRA continuation coverage premium for that
month.

        13.     Severance Benefit-Change in Control.

                (a)     General. In the event of the occurrence of a Change in
Control, as defined in section 11 hereof, the Bank or, if Bank no longer exists,
the Successor Company shall provide to Executive the severance benefit provided
for in this Section 13 in the event that the Employment Period is terminated by
reason of an election by Executive to terminate the Employment Period for Good
Reason pursuant to Section 11(b)(iii) above or in the event that the Employment
Period is terminated by a Successor Company prior to the end of the Employment
Period by Successor Company for any reason other than for Cause, as described in
Section 8 hereof. Executive shall not be entitled to receive the severance
benefit provided for in this Section 13 if the Employment Period is terminated
for any reason other than those identified in the preceding sentence.

                (b)     Salary Settlement. No later than thirty (30) days

<PAGE>   8

following the receipt by Bank of written notice from Executive that Executive is
electing to terminate his employment under the provisions of section 11(b)(iii)
hereof, Bank shall pay to Executive a sum equal to two (2) times the
then-current annual compensation being received by Executive on the date of such
notice, reduced by any applicable employment or withholding taxes. The
then-current annual compensation may be in excess of the Base Salary, as herein
defined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the payment described
in this subsection, when added to all other amounts or benefits provided to or
on behalf of the Executive in connection with his termination of employment as a
result of or in connection with a Change in Control, would result in the
imposition of an excise tax under section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1996, as amended (the "Code"), such payments shall be retroactively (if
necessary) reduced to the extent necessary to avoid such excise tax imposition.
Upon written notice to Executive, together with calculations of Bank's
independent auditors, Executive shall remit to Bank the amount of such
reduction, plus such interest as may be necessary to avoid the imposition of
such excise tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this
contract to the contrary, if any portion of the amount herein payable to the
Executive is determined to be non-deductible pursuant to the regulations
promulgated under Code Section 280G, then Bank shall be required to pay to
Executive only the amount determined to be deductible under said Section 280G.
Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment for which
provision is made in this Section 13(b) by seeking other employment or
otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit for which provision is
made in this Section 13(b) be reduced as a result of any payment or benefit
which Executive may receive from any subsequent employer. Foregoing

                (c)     Medical Insurance Premium Reimbursement. If Executive
and his dependents who are qualified beneficiaries are eligible to elect
continuation of medical insurance benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1995 ("COBRA") and if Executive elects to purchase such
COBRA continuation coverage for himself and/or for his qualified beneficiaries,
then in such event the Bank shall reimburse Executive in an amount equal to the
monthly premium paid by him to obtain such coverage, net of the amount which
employees of the Bank are required to contribute toward the purchase of medical
insurance benefits under the personnel policies of the Bank then in effect,
which reimbursement shall continue for a period of eighteen (18) months from the
date of Executive's written notice of his intention to exercise his rights under
the provisions of section 11(b)(iii) hereof. Reimbursement as provided for
herein shall be made by the Bank to Executive monthly within five (5) business
days following the presentation by Executive to the Bank of evidence of payment
by him of the periodic COBRA continuation coverage premium for that month.

        14.     Certain Covenants.

                (a)     Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that this

and confidential business information concerning the Bank's business, products,
operations, technical information, sales activities, procedures, promotion,
pricing techniques, customer lists, and credit and financial data which are a
valuable property of a confidential nature and which belong to the Bank. In
light of the highly competitive nature of the industry in which the business of
the Bank is conducted, Executive acknowledges and agrees that all such knowledge
and information not in the public domain shall be considered confidential
information. Without limitation of any other provision of this Section 14,
Executive covenants and agrees in this connection that he will not during the
Employment Period or at any time thereafter disclose to any person for any
reason or purpose whatsoever (except in the regular course of the performance by
him of his duties hereunder) use for his own purposes, use for the benefit of
any other person or entity (other than the Bank) or use in competition with the
Bank any such proprietary material or confidential business information.

                (f)     Specific Performance and Related Matters:

                (1)     Specific Performance: Executive acknowledges and agrees
that any breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 14 will result in
irreparable damage to the Bank, for which it will have no adequate remedy at
law. Executive therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach, the Bank
shall be entitled, without limitation of any other rights or remedies otherwise
available to it at law or in equity and without the posting of any bond, to
obtain an injunction or other form of equitable relief from any court of
competent jurisdiction.

                (2)     Extension: In the event that the Bank commences
litigation against Executive for purposes of enforcing the covenants set forth
in Sections 14(b), 14(c) and/or 14(d) above, the twelve (12) month restriction
period shall be extended and shall continue throughout the period during which
such litigation is pending. In addition, in the event that Executive is found by
a court to have breached any of the covenants set forth in Sections 14(b), 14(c)
and/or 14(d) above, the twelve (12) month restriction period shall be extended
and shall continue until the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date upon
which judgment is entered on the records of the court.

        15.     Governing Law and Related Matters.

                (a)     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
without reference to its law on the choice of

<PAGE>   11

laws.

                (b)     Exclusive Jurisdiction. The Bank and Executive agree
that the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania shall have
exclusive jurisdiction with respect to any action arising out of or relating to
this Agreement and each hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such
court and waives any objection to jurisdiction or venue.

                (c)     Waiver of Certain Damages. The Bank and Executive each
hereby waive to the fullest extent permitted by law the right to assert against
the other any claim for punitive and/or exemplary damages. Without limitation of
the foregoing, Executive further agrees that, in the event that he should assert
any claim against the Bank for wrongful termination or other breach of this
Agreement prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, the relief to which he
is entitled shall be limited to the recovery from the Bank of monetary damages
in an amount equal to his Lost Compensation (as defined in the next sentence).
For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Lost Compensation" shall mean the
difference between the Base Salary and Additional Compensation actually received
by Executive and the Base Salary and Additional Compensation which he would have
received under this Agreement, but for its termination prior to the end of the
Employment Period; Executive shall not be entitled to any other form of relief,
including, without limitation: (i) damages for tortious conduct, emotional
distress, pain and suffering, or injury to reputation, (ii) pay beyond the end
of the Employment Period, (iii) specific performance of any provision of this
Agreement, or (iv) reinstatement of employment. Bank, Company, and Executive
each waives any and all rights such party may have to a jury trial in connection
with any litigation commenced by or against any of the parties to this Agreement
with respect to rights and obligations of the parties hereto under this
Agreement.

        16.     Miscellaneous Provisions.

                (a)     Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding
upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by Executive (his heirs,
representatives, executors, and administrators) and Bank (or its successors and
assigns, subject to the limitations set forth in this section). This Agreement
shall be assignable by Bank and/or Company, subject to the limitations set forth
in this section. This Agreement may not be assigned by Bank or Company without
the prior written consent of Executive if:

                (1)     The entity to which this Agreement is to be assigned
will not, after such assignment, be conducting all or substantially all of the
types of business conducted by Bank prior to such assignment; and

                (2)     Bank will, after such assignment, continue to exist as
an entity separate and apart from the assignee of this Agreement and to conduct
all or substantially all of the types of business conducted by Bank prior to
such assignment.

Executive may not assign this Agreement or any of his rights hereunder, except
as expressly herein provided.

                (b)     Severability. The covenants and other undertakings set
forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of
Sections 14(b) and 14(c) above) are

<PAGE>   12

severable and if any covenant or portion thereof is held to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason, such covenant or portion thereof shall be modified
to the extent necessary to cure such invalidity or unenforceability and all
other covenants and provisions of this Agreement shall remain valid and
enforceable.

                (c)     Payments in the Event of Executive's Death. In the case
of any payment required under this Agreement to be made by the Bank to Executive
after his death, such payment shall be made to Executive's spouse if she
survives him or to Executive's estate if she does not survive him.

                (d)     Notices. All notices and other communications required
to be given or made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been given or made when hand delivered or when mailed, certified mail, return
receipt requested, to the Bank or to Executive, as the case may be, at their
respective addresses set forth on the first page of this Agreement or to such
other address as the Bank or Executive may subsequently designate in writing and
deliver as provided in this Section 16(d).

                (e)     Waiver. The waiver by any party of a breach by the other
party or of compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement shall
not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach or right
to require compliance with any condition or provision of this Agreement.

                (f)     Captions. The captions of the several Sections and
Subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only,
constitute no part of this Agreement and are not to be considered in the
construction hereof.

                (g)     Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
Agreement between the Bank and Executive concerning the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior written or oral agreements and understandings between
them.

                (h)     Amendment. No term or provision of this Agreement may be
changed, waived, amended, terminated or otherwise modified, except by written
instrument duly executed by the Bank and by Executive.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is executed the day and year first
above written.
