any related tax withholding obligation. The Reload Option will be exercisable

Option. A Reload Option shall be subject to such additional terms and conditions

cancel the Optionee's right to receive the Reload Option and that the Reload
Option will be granted only if the Committee has not canceled such right prior
to the exercise of the original Option.

Subsidiary the authority to perform administrative functions under the Plan with
respect to grants and awards to Eligible Persons other than Directors, provided

as a whole with respect to such function.

         Any determinations or actions made or taken by the Committee pursuant
to this Article shall be binding and final.

4.       ELIGIBILITY

         Options, Rights, Performance Units and Incentive Shares may be granted
or awarded only to Eligible Persons; provided, however, that Directors shall not
be granted Incentive Stock Options.

5.       STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

         5.1 The maximum number of Shares that may be issued or as to which
grants or awards may be made under the Plan (excluding Shares issued pursuant to
grants or awards made prior to February 20, 1997) shall not exceed the sum of
(i) 10,141,853 Shares plus (ii) as of January 1 of each calendar year commencing
with 1998 an additional number of Shares (which shall be cumulative from year to
year) equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the total issued shares of
Common Stock (including reacquired Shares) at the end of the immediately
preceding calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall more
than three percent (3%) of the total issued shares of Common Stock (including
reacquired Shares) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar year be
cumulatively available for grants and awards made in any calendar year. The
maximum number of Shares as to which grants or awards may be made under the Plan
to one Senior Executive with respect to one calendar year shall be 1,000,000
(250,000 for calendar years 1997 through 1999). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(a) grants of Incentive Stock Options may not be made with respect to more than
1,000,000 Shares during any calendar year, and (b) Incentive Share awards may
not be granted during any calendar year with respect to more than twenty percent
(20%) of the maximum number of Shares available for grants and awards made
during such calendar year. The limitation provided in the first sentence of this
Section 5.1 is hereinafter called the "Cumulative Limitation;" the limitation
provided in the second sentence is hereinafter called the "Annual Limitation;"
the limitation provided in the third sentence is hereinafter called the
"Individual Limitation;" the limitation provided in clause (a) of the fourth
sentence is hereinafter called the "ISO Limitation;" and the limitation provided
in clause (b) of the fourth sentence is hereinafter called the "Incentive Share
Limitation." For purposes of the Individual Limitation, to the extent consistent
with the requirements of the performance-based compensation exception under
Section 162(m) of the Code, a Reload Option (a) shall be deemed to have been
granted at the same time as, and as a part of, the original Option in respect of
which the Reload Option is granted and (b) shall not be deemed to increase the
number of Shares covered by such original Option.

         5.2 If an Option, Right or Performance Unit expires or terminates for
any reason (other than termination by virtue of the exercise of a Related
Option, Related Right or Related Performance Unit, as the case may be) without
having been fully exercised, or if Shares covered by an Incentive Share award
are not issued or are forfeited Shares which had been subject to the Agreement
relating thereto shall for purposes of the Cumulative Limitation (and if granted
or awarded in the same calendar year, then also for purposes of the Annual
Limitation, the ISO Limitation, and the Incentive Share



                                      -6-

Limitation) again become available for the grant of other Options, Rights and
Performance Units or for the award of additional Incentive Shares.

         5.3 The Shares issued upon the exercise of a Right or Performance Unit
(or if cash is payable in connection with such exercise, that number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value equal to the cash payable upon such exercise), shall
be charged against the number of Shares issuable under the Plan and shall not
become available for the grant of other Options, Rights and Performance Units or
for the award of Incentive Shares. If the Right referred to in the preceding
sentence is a Related Right, or if the Performance Unit referred to in the
preceding sentence is a Related Performance Unit, the Shares subject to the
Related Option, to the extent not charged against the number of Shares subject
to the Plan in accordance with this Section 5.3, shall for purposes of the
Cumulative Limitation (and if granted in the same calendar year, then also for
purposes of the Annual Limitation) again become available for the grant of other
Options, Rights or Performance Units or for the award of additional Incentive
Shares.

6.       OPTIONS

         6.1 The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Incentive Stock Options
and Nonstatutory Stock Options to Senior Executives and to grant Nonstatutory
Stock Options to Directors, provided that the number of Options granted to a
Senior Executive during a calendar year shall not exceed the Individual
Limitation when aggregated with other grants or awards made to that Senior
Executive during that calendar year.

         6.2 All Agreements granting Options shall contain a statement that the
Option is intended to be either (i) a Nonstatutory Stock Option or (ii) an
Incentive Stock Option.

         6.3 The Option Period shall be determined by the Committee and
specifically set forth in the Agreement, provided that an Option shall not be
exercisable until the expiration of at least six months from the Date of Grant
(except that this limitation need not apply in the event of the death or
disability of the Optionee or as otherwise permitted by the Agreement upon a
change in control of the Corporation) or after ten years from the Date of Grant.

         6.4 All Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall comply
with the provisions of the Code governing incentive stock options and with all
other applicable rules and regulations.

         6.5 All other terms of Options granted under the Plan shall be
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

         7.2 A Right may be granted under the Plan:

                  (i) in connection with, and at the same time as, the grant of
         an Option to an Eligible Person;

         granted under the Plan to an Eligible Person; or

                  (iii) independently of any Option granted under the Plan.

Agreement, and, subject to the provisions of the Agreement, entitles its
Optionee to receive, without any payment to the Corporation (other than required
tax withholding amounts), either cash or that number of Shares (equal to the
highest whole number of Shares), or a combination thereof, in an amount or
having a Fair Market Value determined as of the Date of Exercise not to exceed
the number of Shares subject to the portion of the Right exercised multiplied by
an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Date of
Exercise of the Right over either (i) the Fair Market Value per Share on the
Date of Grant of the Right or the base price determined by the Committee
pursuant to Section 3.7 if the Right is not a Related Right, or (ii) the Option
Price as provided in the Related Option if the Right is a Related Right.

         7.4 The Right Period shall be determined by the Committee and
specifically set forth in the Agreement, provided, however:

                  (i) a Right may not be exercised until the expiration of at
         least six months from the Date of Grant (except that this limitation
         need not apply in the event of the death or disability of the Optionee
         or as otherwise permitted by the Agreement upon a change in control of
         the Corporation);

                  (ii) a Right will expire no later than the earlier of (A) ten
         years from the Date of Grant, or (B) in the case of a Related Right,

                  (iii) a Right that is a Related Right may be exercised only
         when and to the extent the Related Option is exercisable.

         7.5 The exercise, in whole or in part, of a Related Right shall cause a
reduction in the number of Shares subject to the Related Option equal to the
number of Shares with respect to which the Related Right is exercised.
Similarly, the exercise, in whole or in part, of a Related Option shall cause a
reduction in the number of Shares subject to the Related Right equal to the
number of Shares with respect to which the Related Option is exercised.

8.       PERFORMANCE UNITS

         8.1 The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Performance Units to
Eligible Persons, provided that the number of Performance Units granted to a
Senior Executive during a calendar year shall not exceed the Individual
Limitation when aggregated with other grants or awards made to that Senior
Executive during that calendar year.

         8.2 Performance Units may be granted under the Plan:

                  (iv) in connection with, and at the same time as, the grant of
         a Nonstatutory Stock Option to an Eligible Person;

                  (v) by amendment of an outstanding Nonstatutory Stock Option
         granted under the Plan to an Eligible Person; or

                  (vi) independently of any Option granted under the Plan.

         A Performance Unit granted under Subparagraph (i) or (ii) of the
preceding sentence is a Related Performance Unit. A Related Performance Unit
may, in the Committee's discretion, apply to all or a portion of the Shares
subject to the Related Option. A Performance Unit may not be granted in
connection with, or by amendment to, an Incentive Stock Option.

         8.3 A Performance Unit may be exercised in whole or in part as provided
in the Agreement, and, subject to the provisions of the Agreement, entitles its
Optionee to receive, without any payment to the Corporation (other than required
tax withholding amounts), cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares,
based upon the degree to which performance standards established by the
Committee and specified in the Agreement have been achieved. During the
Performance Period, such performance standards may be particular to an Eligible
Person or the department, branch, Subsidiary or other unit in which he works, or
may be based on the performance of the Corporation generally. The performance
standards may be based on earnings or earnings growth; return on assets, equity
or investment; regulatory compliance; satisfactory internal or external audits;
improvement of financial ratings; reduction of nonperforming loans; achievement
of balance sheet or income statement objectives; or any other objective goals
established by the Committee, and may be absolute in their terms or measured
against or in relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise
situated.

         8.4 The Performance Unit Exercise Period shall be determined by the
Committee and specifically set forth in the Agreement; provided, however:

                  (i) A Performance Unit may not be exercised until the
         expiration of at least six months from the Date of Grant (except that
         this limitation need not apply in the event of the death or disability
         of the Optionee or as otherwise permitted by an Agreement upon a change
         in control of the Corporation); and



                                      -9-
<PAGE>

                  (ii) a Performance Unit will expire no later than the earlier
         of (A) ten years from the Date of Grant, or (B) in the case of a
         Related Performance Unit, the expiration of the Related Option.

         8.5 Each Agreement granting Performance Units shall specify the number
of Performance Units granted; provided, that the maximum number of Related
Performance Units may not exceed the maximum number of Shares subject to the
Related Option and the number of Performance Units may not exceed the maximum
number of Shares subject to the Related Option and the maximum value of a
Related Performance Unit may not exceed the Fair Market Value of a Share subject
to the Related Option.

         8.6 The exercise, in whole or in part, of Related Performance Units
shall cause a reduction in the number of Shares subject to the Related Option
and the number of Performance Units in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. Similarly, the exercise, in whole or in part, of a Related Option
shall cause a reduction in the number of Related Performance Units equal to the
number of Shares with respect to which the Related Option is exercised.

9.       EXERCISE;  PAYMENT OF WITHHOLDING TAXES

         An Option, Right or Performance Unit may, subject to the provisions of
the Agreement under which it was granted, be exercised in whole or in part by
the delivery to the Corporation of written notice of the exercise, in such form
as the Committee may prescribe, accompanied, in the case of an Option, by full
payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, and in the
case of an Option, Right or Performance Unit, full payment for related
withholding taxes, if any. The receipt of Incentive Shares shall be subject to
full payment by the Grantee of any withholding taxes then required to be paid.

10.      NONTRANSFERABILITY

         Except as the Committee may expressly provide otherwise in or with
respect to an Agreement, including any Agreement in effect as of February 20,
1997, Options, Rights and Performance Units granted under the Plan shall not be
transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and
an Option, Right or Performance Unit may be exercised during his or her lifetime
only by the Optionee or, in the event of his or her legal incapacity, by his or
her legal representative. A Related Right or Related Performance Unit is
transferable only when the Related Option is transferable and only with the
Related Option and under the same conditions. An Optionee may also designate a
beneficiary to exercise his or her Options after the Optionee's death, provided
that the Committee has first expressly approved the procedures and forms
necessary to effect such a designation.

11.      DEFERRAL OF AWARDS

         If an Optionee so elects in accordance with the terms of an Agreement,
the Optionee may defer any or all of the amount otherwise payable on the
exercise of Performance Units in accordance with the provisions of a deferred
compensation plan maintained by the Corporation or a Subsidiary, provided:

                  (i) that the Optionee makes such election by delivering to the
         Corporation written notice of such election, in such form as the
         Committee may from time to time prescribe, prior to the beginning of
         the Performance Period;

                  (ii) that such election shall be irrevocable until at least
         six months after termination of the Optionee's employment; and

                  (iii) that such deferred payment shall be made in accordance
         with the provisions of such deferred compensation plan.

12.      INCENTIVE SHARE AWARDS

         The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Incentive Share awards
to Eligible Persons, provided that the number of Incentive Share awards granted
to a Senior Executive during a calendar year shall not exceed the Individual
Limitation when aggregated with other grants or awards made to that Senior
Executive during that calendar year. Incentive Share awards shall entitle an
Eligible Person to receive Shares, to be issued at such times, subject to the
achievement of such performance standards or other goals, in recognition of such
performance or other achievements or for such other purposes, and on such other
terms and conditions, if any, as the Committee shall deem appropriate.
Performance standards may be based on earnings or earnings growth; return on
assets, equity or investment; regulatory compliance; satisfactory internal or
external audits; improvement of financial ratings; reduction of nonperforming
loans; achievement of balance sheet or income statement objectives; or any other
objective goals established by the Committee, and may be absolute in their terms
or measured against or in relationship to other companies comparably, similarly
or otherwise situated. The number of Incentive Share awards made to a Senior
Executive during a calendar year shall not exceed the Individual Limitation when
aggregated with other grants or awards made to that Senior Executive during that
calendar year.

13.      CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS

         The number and class of Shares (or the Performance Unit equivalent)
subject to each outstanding Option, Right or Performance Unit or Incentive Share
award, the Option Price, and the aggregate number and class of Shares for which
grants or awards thereafter may be made, the Annual Limitation, the Individual
Limitation, the ISO Limitation, and the Incentive Share Limitation provided for
in Section 5.1, shall be subject to such adjustment, if any, as the Committee in
its sole discretion deems appropriate to reflect


                                      -11-

such events as stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers,
consolidations or reorganizations of or by the Corporation.

14.      TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT

         The Board or the Committee may amend, alter or terminate this Plan in
any respect, at any time; provided, however, that, after this Plan has been
approved by the Shareholders of the Corporation, no amendment, alteration or
termination of this Plan shall be made by the Board or the Committee without
approval of (i) the Corporation's shareholders to the extent shareholder
approval of the amendment is required by applicable law or regulations or the
requirements of the principal exchange or interdealer quotation system on which
the Common Stock is listed or quoted, and (ii) each affected Optionee if such
amendment, alteration or termination would adversely affect his or her rights or
obligations under any grant or award made prior to the date of such amendment,
alteration or termination.

15.      MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL OF OPTIONS, RIGHTS AND PERFORMANCE
         UNITS

         Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the
Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options, Rights and
Performance Units, or accept the surrender of outstanding options, rights and
performance units (to the extent not theretofore exercised) granted under the
Plan or under any other plan of the Corporation, a Subsidiary or a company or
similar entity acquired by the Corporation or a Subsidiary, and authorize the
granting of new Options, Rights and Performance Units pursuant to the Plan in
substitution therefor (to the extent not theretofore exercised), and the
substituted Options, Rights and Performance Units may specify a longer term than
the surrendered Options, Rights and Performance Units or have any other
provisions that are authorized by the Plan; provided, however, that the
substituted Options, Rights and Performance Units may not specify a lower
exercise price than the surrendered options, rights and performance units.
Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the Plan, the
Committee may modify the terms of any outstanding Agreement providing for awards
of Incentive Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no modification of
an Option, Right or Performance Unit granted under the Plan, or an award of
Incentive Shares, shall (i) without the consent of the Optionee or Grantee,
adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Optionee or Grantee or (ii)
reduce the exercise price or base price of an Option, Right or Performance Unit.

16.      EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PLAN AND AMENDMENTS

         The effective date of the Plan was December 17, 1987. The effective
date of any amendment to the Plan will be the date specified by the Board or
Committee, as applicable. Any amendments to the Plan requiring shareholder
approval pursuant to Article 14 are subject to approval by vote of the
shareholders of the Corporation within 12 months after their adoption by the
Board or the Committee. Subject to that approval, any such amendments are
effective on the date on which they are adopted by the Board.


                                      -12-
<PAGE>

Options, Rights, Performance Units or Incentive Shares may be granted or awarded
prior to shareholder approval of amendments, but each Option, Right, Performance
Unit or Incentive Share grant or award requiring such amendments shall be
subject to the approval of the amendments by the shareholders. The date on which
any Option, Right, Performance Unit or Incentive Shares granted or awarded prior
to shareholder approval of the amendment shall be the Date of Grant for all
purposes of the Plan as if the Option, Right, Performance Unit or Incentive
Shares had not been subject to approval. No Option, Right or Performance Unit
granted subject to shareholder approval of an amendment may be exercised prior
to such shareholder approval, and any Incentive Share award subject to
shareholder approval of an amendment and any dividends payable thereon are
subject to forfeiture if such shareholder approval is not obtained.

17.      TERM OF THE PLAN

         Unless sooner terminated by the Board or the Committee pursuant to
Article 14, the Plan shall terminate on February 20, 2007, and no Options,
Rights, Performance Units or Incentive Share awards may be granted or awarded
after termination. The termination shall not affect the validity of any Option,
Right, Performance Unit or Incentive Share awards outstanding on the date of
termination.

18.      INDEMNIFICATION OF COMMITTEE

         In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as
directors or as members of the Committee, the members of the Committee shall be
indemnified by the Corporation against the reasonable expenses, including
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense
of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to
which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or
failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Option, Right,
Performance Unit or Incentive Shares granted or awarded hereunder, and against
all amounts reasonably paid by them in settlement thereof or paid by them in
satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, if such
members acted in good faith and in a manner which they believed to be in, and
not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation.

19.      COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 162(m) OF THE CODE

         To the extent that any provision of the Plan or an Agreement, or any
action of the Committee, may result in the application of Section 162(m)(1) of
the Code to compensation payable to a Grantee or Optionee, such provision or
action shall be deemed to be null and void, to the extent permitted by law and
deemed advisable by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority to
override the application of this Article by an action duly approved or ratified
by the Committee and reflected in the Committee's records.

20.      GENERAL PROVISIONS

         20.1 The establishment of the Plan shall not confer upon any Eligible
Person any legal or equitable right against the Corporation, any Subsidiary or
the Committee, except as expressly provided in the Plan.

         20.2 All grants and awards under the Plan are subject to the
precondition of an appropriate Agreement signed by the parties.

         20.3 Neither the Plan nor any Agreement constitutes inducement or
consideration for the employment or retention of any Eligible Person, nor are
they a contract of employment or retention for a specific term between the
Corporation or any Subsidiary and any Eligible Person. Participation in the Plan
shall not give an Eligible Person any right to be retained in the service of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary.

         20.4 The Corporation and its Subsidiaries may assume options, warrants,
or rights to purchase stock issued or granted by other corporations whose stock
or assets shall be acquired by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries, or which
shall be merged into or consolidated with the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.
Neither the adoption of this Plan, nor its submission to the shareholders, shall
be taken to impose any limitations on the powers of the Corporation or its
affiliates to issue, grant, or assume options, warrants, or rights, otherwise
than under this Plan, or to adopt other stock option or restricted stock plans
or to impose any requirement of shareholder approval upon the same.

         20.5 Except as the Committee may otherwise provide pursuant to Article
10, or as otherwise required by a deferral election pursuant to Article 11, the
interests of any Eligible Person under the Plan are not subject to the claims of
creditors and may not, in any way, be assigned, alienated or encumbered.

         20.6 The Plan shall be governed, construed and administered in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and it is the
intention of the Corporation that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan
qualify as such under Section 422 of the Code.
