      cancelled. The Plan Administrator shall 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.

              Acknowledgment.
      No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be

      Administrator or its designated
agent.

              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.

              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 Director’s
      Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any
      liability under the Agreement for such payment amount.

              5.1

            	
              Excess Parachute or
      Golden Parachute Payment. If the payments pursuant to this
      Agreement, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which
      the Director has the right to receive from the Bank and the Company, would
      constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, or would
      be a prohibited golden parachute payment pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.2 and
      for which the appropriate federal banking agency has not given written
      consent to pay pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.4, the amount of each of the
      payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the minimum amount
      necessary to result in (i) no portion of the payments under this Agreement
      being non-deductible to the Bank or the Company pursuant to Section 280G
      of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of
      the Code, and (ii) no adverse consequence to the Bank or the Company under
      or pursuant to such banking regulations. All amounts payable under this
      Agreement shall also be subject to limitations or prohibitions imposed by
      subsequent changes or amendments to the cited laws and regulations except
      to the extent that any amounts payable under this Agreement are
      grandfathered or otherwise exempt or excluded from the change or
      amendment.

            
	 
      	 
      
	
              5.2

            	
              Termination for
      Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
      contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the
      Bank terminates the Director’s service for Cause. Termination of the
      Director’s service for “Cause” shall mean termination because of personal
      dishonesty, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving
      personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful
      violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or
      similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order or material breach of
      any provision of the Agreement. For purposes of this paragraph, no act or
      failure to act on the Director’s part shall be considered “willful” unless
      done, or omitted to be done, by the Director not in good faith and without
      reasonable belief that the Director’s action or omission was in the best
      interest of the Bank.

              Removal.
      Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank
      shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Director is subject
      to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal
      banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance
      Act (“FDIA”).

            
	 
      	 
      
	
              5.4

            	
              Non-compete
      Provision. The Director shall forfeit any unpaid benefits under
      this Agreement if during the term of this Agreement, and before all
      benefits have been paid, the Director, directly or indirectly, either as
      an individual or as a proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, director,
      employee, agent, consultant or independent contractor of any individual,

      substantially similar to the financial services performed or financial
      products sold by the Bank (the preceding hereinafter referred to as
      “Services”), to or from any person or entity from whom the Director or the
      Bank, 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 Director’s Separation from Service;

            
	 
      	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	 
      	
              (v)

            	
              divulges,
      discloses, or communicates to others in any manner whatsoever, any
      confidential information of the Bank, to the knowledge of the Director,
      including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of customers or
      prospective customers of the Bank, 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
      Bank, earnings or other information concerning the Bank. The restrictions
      contained in this subparagraph (v) apply to all information regarding the
      Bank, 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.

            
	 
      	 
      	 
      	 
      
	 
      	
              5.4.1

            	
              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 Bank, and further recognizes that in such event monetary
      damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Bank. Accordingly, in the
      event of a breach or threatened breach of these restrictions, the Director
      consents to the Bank’s entitlement to such ex parte,
      preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any
      other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Bank’s 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 Bank post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the
      above-described remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting
      the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank 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 5.4 hereof are reasonable,
      in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the
      protections afforded the Bank in Section 5.4 hereof are necessary to
      protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth
      in Section 5.4 hereof will not be materially adverse to the Director’s
      service with the Bank, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions
      forms a material part of the consideration for this
    Agreement.

              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.

              Suicide or
      Misstatement. No benefits shall be payable if the Director commits
      suicide within two years after the date of the Prior Agreement, or if the
      insurance company denies coverage (i) for material misstatements of fact
      made by the Director on any application for life insurance purchased by
      the Bank, or (ii) for any other reason.

      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

              Amendments.
      This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement signed by the
      Bank and the Director. However, the Bank may unilaterally amend this
      Agreement to conform with written directives to the Bank from its banking
      regulators or to comply with legislative changes or tax law, including
      without limitation Section 409A of the Code and any and all Treasury

              Plan Termination
      Generally. The Bank may unilaterally terminate this Agreement at
      any time. Except as provided in Section 7.3, the termination of this
      Agreement shall not cause a distribution of benefits under this Agreement.
      Rather, upon such termination benefit distributions will be made at the
      earliest distribution event permitted under Article 2 or Article
      3.

      Agreement in any of the following three circumstances and accelerate the
      payment of the entire unpaid balance of the Director’s vested benefits as
      of the date of such payment in accordance with Section 409A of the Code,

      are terminated with respect to each participant that experienced the
      Change in Control event, and (2) the Director and all participants under
      the other aggregated arrangements receive all of their benefits under the
      terminated arrangements within 12 months of the date that all necessary

      Agreement is irrevocably terminated at a time that is not proximate to a

      the Director participated in such arrangements are terminated, (2) no
      payments are made within 12 months of the date the Company and the Bank

      following the date the Company and the Bank take all necessary action to

      The Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be governed by the laws of
      the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent preempted by the

              9.2

            	
              Binding Effect.

              9.3

            	
              Entire
      Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
      the Bank and the Director as to the subject matter hereof. No rights are
      granted to the Director by virtue of this Agreement other than those
      specifically set forth herein. All prior agreements between the Bank and
      the Director with respect to the matters agreed to herein are hereby
      superseded and shall have no force or effect, including but not limited to
      the Prior Agreement.

            
	 
      	 
      
	
              9.4

              No Guarantee of
      Service. This Agreement is not an employment policy or contract for
      services. It does not give the Director the right to remain a director of
      the Bank, nor does it interfere with the Bank’s right to discharge the
      Director. It also does not require the Director to remain a director nor
      interfere with the Director’s right to terminate service at any
      time.

              9.8

            	
              Reorganization.
      The Bank 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 Bank
      hereunder.

            
	 
      	 
      
	
              9.9

            	
              Tax
      Withholding. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that, in its
      reasonable judgment, are required to be withheld from the benefits
      provided under this Agreement. The Director acknowledges that the Bank’s
      sole liability regarding taxes is to forward any amounts withheld to the
      appropriate taxing authority(ies).

            
	 
      	 
      
	
              9.10

            	
              Nature of
      Obligations. Nothing contained herein shall create or require the
      Bank to create a trust of any kind to fund any benefits which may be
      payable hereunder, and to the extent that the Director acquires a right to
      receive benefits from the Bank hereunder, such right shall be no greater
      than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the
    Bank.

                Explanation:

              	 
      
	 
      	 
      	
                In
      each case, the benefit is
      based on the year-end amount listed immediately prior to date termination
      of service occurs. The benefits are payable as stated
      below:

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	
                (1)

              	 
      	
                Payments
      commence at termination of service and are payable to the director or the
      director’s beneficiary in equal monthly installments for 5
      years.

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	
                (2)

              	 
      	
                The
      listed amounts represent the lump sum value at death. Distributions will
      be made as elected by the director (lump sum or annuitized over 60
      months).

              
	 
      	 
      	 
      
	
                (3)
