The Board of Directors of Penns Woods or JSSB shall review Executive’s base salary annually and may, from time to time, in its discretion increase Executive’s base salary.  Any and all such increases in base salary shall be deemed to constitute amendments to this subsection to reflect the increased amounts, effective as of the dates established for such increases by appropriate corporate action.”

 

2.                                      Amendment of Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement.  Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(a)                           Benefits.  If a Change in Control (as defined in Section 5(e)) shall occur and concurrently therewith or during a period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Employer without Cause (other than for the reasons set forth in Section 3(d)) or by Executive with Good Reason, Executive shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum cash payment, no later than thirty (30) days following the date of such termination, in an amount equal to two (2.0) times the sum of (i) Executive’s annual base salary then in effect (or immediately prior to any reduction resulting in a termination for Good Reason) and (ii) the average of the last three (3) annual bonuses paid by the Employer to Executive.”

 

4.                                      Amendment of Section 5(d)(ii) of the Employment Agreement.  Section 5(d)(ii) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to refer to a distance of 25 miles, rather than 50 miles, from the location of his office on the date of the Change in Control.
