different from the Beneficiary designation under any other plan of the Company
in which the Director participates.


 


6.2                                 Beneficiary Designation; Change.  A Director shall designate a Beneficiary by
completing and signing the Beneficiary Designation Form, and delivering it to
the Plan Administrator or its designated agent. 
The Director’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically

Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of
the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s rules and
procedures, as in effect from time to time. 
Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary
Designation Form, all Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be

be entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the
Director and accepted by the Plan Administrator prior to the Director’s death.


 


6.3                                 Acknowledgment.  No
designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be effective until
received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Plan Administrator or its
designated agent.


 


6.4                                 No Beneficiary Designation. 
If the Director dies without a valid beneficiary designation, or if all
designated Beneficiaries predecease the Director, then the Director’s spouse
shall be the designated Beneficiary.  If
the Director has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be made to the
personal representative of the Director’s estate.


 


6.5                                 Facility of Payment.  If the Plan Administrator determines in its
discretion that a benefit is to be paid to a minor, to a person declared
incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that
person’s property, the Plan Administrator may direct payment of such benefit to
the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such
minor, incompetent person or incapable person. 
The Plan Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority or
guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit.  Any payment of a benefit shall be a payment
for the account of the Director and the Beneficiary, as the case may be, and
shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such
payment amount.

or otherwise competes for, either directly or indirectly, any orders, contract,
or accounts for services of

a kind or
nature like or substantially similar to the financial services performed or
financial products sold by the Company (the preceding hereinafter referred to
as “Services”), to or from any person or entity from whom the Director or the
Company, to the knowledge of the Director provided banking or other financial
services, sold, offered to sell or solicited orders, contracts or accounts for
Services during the three (3) year period immediately prior to the termination
of the Director’s service;


 


(v)                                 divulges,
discloses, or communicates to others in any manner whatsoever, any confidential
information of the Company, to the knowledge of the Director, including, but
not limited to, the names and addresses of customers or prospective customers,
of the Company, as they may have existed from time to time, of work performed
or services rendered for any customer, any method and/or procedures relating to
projects or other work developed for the Company, earnings or other information
concerning the Company. The restrictions contained in this subparagraph (v)
apply to all information regarding the Company, regardless of the source who
provided or compiled such information. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all information referred to
herein shall not be disclosed unless and until it becomes known to the general
public from sources other than the Director.


 


7.5                                 Judicial Remedies.  In
the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Director of any provision of
these restrictions, the Director recognizes the substantial and immediate harm
that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or Affiliates, and further recognizes that in such event monetary
damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or Affiliates. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach of the provisions of this Agreement, the Director consents to the
Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ entitlement to such ex  parte,
preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other
equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Company’ or any of its
subsidiaries’ rights hereunder and preventing the Director from further
breaching any of his obligations set forth herein.  The Director expressly waives any
requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source, that the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates post a bond as a condition of
obtaining any of the above-described remedies. 
Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or Affiliates from pursuing any other remedies available to
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates at law or in equity for
such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the
Director.  The Director expressly
acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 7.4
are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise,
(ii) the protections afforded the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
Affiliates in Section 7.4 are necessary to protect its legitimate business
interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 7.4 will not be
materially adverse to the Director’s service with the


 


11





















 


Company, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions forms a
material part of the consideration for this Agreement.


 


7.6                                 Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant.  It is the intention of the parties that if
any restrictive covenant in this Agreement is determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be overly broad, then the court should enforce such
restrictive covenant to the maximum extent permitted under the law as to area,
breadth and duration.


 


7.7                                 Change in Control.  The non-compete provision detailed in Section 7.4
shall not apply if there is a Change in Control.


 


7.8                                 Suicide or Misstatement.  The Director shall forfeit all interest
credited since the date of execution of this Agreement if the Director commits
suicide within two years after the date of this Agreement, or if the insurance
company denies coverage for (i) material misstatements of fact made by the
Director on any application for life insurance purchased by the Company, or
(ii) any other reason.  The Company shall
have no liability to the Director for any denial of coverage by the insurance company.


 


Article 8


Claims and
Review Procedures


 


8.1                                 Claims Procedure.  A
Director or Beneficiary (“claimant”) who has not received benefits under the
Agreement that he or she believes should be paid shall make a claim for such
benefits as follows:


 


8.1.1                        Initiation – Written Claim. 
The claimant initiates a claim by submitting to the Plan Administrator a
written claim for the benefits.


 


8.1.2                        Timing of Plan Administrator Response.  The Plan
Administrator shall respond to such claimant within 90 days after receiving the
claim.  If the Plan Administrator
determines that special circumstances require additional time for processing
the claim, the Plan Administrator can extend the response period by an
additional 90 days by notifying the claimant in writing, prior to the end of
the initial 90-day period, that an additional period is required.  The notice of extension must set forth the
special circumstances and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to
render its decision.


 


8.1.3                        Notice of Decision.  If
the Plan Administrator denies part or all of the claim, the Plan Administrator
shall notify the claimant in writing of such denial.  The Plan Administrator shall write the
notification in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant.  The notification shall set forth:


 


(a)                                  The
specific reasons for the denial;


(b)                                 A
reference to the specific provisions of the Agreement on which the denial is
based;


(c)                                  A
description of any additional information or material necessary


 


12





















 


for the claimant to perfect the claim and an
explanation of why it is needed, and


(d)                                 An
explanation of the Agreement’s review procedures and the time limits applicable
to such procedures.


 


8.2                                 Review Procedure.  If
the Plan Administrator denies part or all of the claim, the claimant shall have
the opportunity for a full and fair review by the Plan Administrator of the
denial, as follows:


 


8.2.1                        Initiation – Written Request.  To initiate the review, the claimant, within
60 days after receiving the Plan Administrator’s notice of denial, must file
with the Plan Administrator a written request for review.


 


8.2.2                        Additional Submissions – Information Access.  The claimant shall then have the opportunity
to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating
to the claim.  The Plan Administrator
shall also provide the claimant, upon request and free of charge, reasonable
access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant
to the claimant’s claim for benefits.


 


8.2.3                        Considerations on Review. 
In considering the review, the Plan Administrator shall take into
account all materials and information the claimant submits relating to the
claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered
in the initial benefit determination.


 


8.2.4                        Timing of Plan Administrator Response.  The Plan Administrator shall respond in
writing to such claimant within 60 days after receiving the request for
review.  If the Plan Administrator
determines that special circumstances require additional time for processing
the claim, the Plan Administrator can extend the response period by an
additional 60 days by notifying the claimant in writing, prior to the end of
the initial 60-day period, that an additional period is required.  The notice of extension must set forth the
special circumstances and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to
render its decision.


 


8.2.5                        Notice of Decision. 
The Plan Administrator shall notify the claimant in writing of its
decision on review.  The Plan
Administrator shall write the notification in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant.  The
notification shall set forth:


 


(a)                                  The
specific reasons for the denial;


(b)                                 A
reference to the specific provisions of the Agreement on which the denial is
based, and


(c)                                  A
statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of
charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other
information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits.

Article 9


Amendments
and Termination


 


No provisions of this Agreement may be modified,
waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to
in writing signed by the Director and such officer or officers as may be
specifically designated by the Board to sign on their behalf.  Provided, however, in response to legislative
or regulatory changes affecting nonqualified deferred compensation plans that
would otherwise cause the Director to be deemed in constructive receipt of
benefits under this Agreement, the Company can amend this Agreement for the
sole purpose of complying with such legislative or regulatory changes.


 


Article 10


Miscellaneous


 


10.1                           Binding Effect.  This
Agreement shall bind the Director and the Company, and their beneficiaries,
survivors, executors, successors, administrators and transferees.


 


10.2                           No Guarantee of Service. 
This Agreement is not a service policy or contract.  It does not give the Director the right to
remain as a member of the Company’s Board, nor does it interfere with the
Company’s right to terminate the Director’s service.  It also does not require the Director to
remain in service nor interfere with the Director’s right to terminate service
at any time.


 


10.3                           Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be
sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.


 


10.4                           Tax Withholding.  The
Company shall withhold any taxes that are required to be withheld from the
benefits provided under this Agreement.


 


10.5                           Applicable Law.  The
Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the
United States of America.


 


10.6                           Unfunded Arrangement. 
The Director and beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of the
Company for the payment of benefits under this Agreement.  The benefits represent the mere promise by
the Company to pay such benefits.  The
rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation,
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by
creditors.  Any insurance on the Director’s
life is a general asset of the Company to which the Director and beneficiary
have no preferred or secured claim.


 


10.7                           Entire Agreement.  This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Company and the Director
as to the subject matter hereof.  No
rights are


 


14





















 


granted to the Director by virtue of this Agreement other than those
specifically set forth herein.


 


10.8                           Reorganization.  The
Company shall not merge or consolidate into or with another company, or
reorganize, or sell substantially all of its assets to another company, firm or
person unless such succeeding or continuing company, firm or person agrees to
assume and discharge the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.  Upon the occurrence of such event, the term “Company”
as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the successor or survivor
company.


 


10.9                           Administration.  The
Company shall have powers which are necessary to administer this Agreement,
including but not limited to:


 


10.9.1                  Interpreting
the provisions of the Agreement;


 


10.9.2                  Establishing
and revising the method of accounting for the Agreement;


 


10.9.3                  Maintaining
a record of benefit payments; and


 


10.9.4                  Establishing
rules and prescribing any forms necessary or desirable to administer the
Agreement.


 


10.10                     Named Fiduciary and Plan Administrator.  The Company shall be the named fiduciary and
Plan Administrator under this Agreement. 
The named fiduciary may delegate to others certain aspects of the
management and operation responsibilities of the Agreement including the
service of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified
individuals.
