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

spouse as beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved.  A Director shall have the right to change a
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.

financial services, or solicits 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


 


11





















 


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
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


 


12





















 


the denial is based;


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


 


13





















 


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.


 


14





















 


10.7                           Entire Agreement.  This

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;

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
