      ABINGTON
        BANK AMENDED AND RESTATED

      


      SUPPLEMENTAL
        EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

      


         
        Abington Savings Bank, doing business as Abington Bank (the “Bank”), previously
        entered into a certain Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan effective as
        of
        October 16, 2002 (the “Prior SERP”).  This Plan amends and restates
        the Prior SERP in its entirety as hereinafter set forth in order to comply
        with
        the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
        amended (the “Code”), including the final regulations issued by the Internal
        Revenue Service in April 2007, with none of the benefits payable under this
        Plan
        to be deemed grandfathered for purposes of Section 409A of the
        Code.  The Plan has been and shall continue to be operated in
        compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  The provisions of the Plan
        shall be construed to effectuate such intentions.  This Plan as
        amended and restated shall be effective as of November 28, 2007.

      


      The
        purpose of the Plan is to provide
        those officers of the Bank who are listed in Appendix A, which is attached
        hereto, with supplemental retirement benefits in order to provide them with
        a
        reasonable level of retirement income which will assist them in maintaining
        an
        appropriate standard of living in retirement.  The Plan is also
        intended to encourage and induce the participating officers to remain in
        the
        Bank’s employ until they attain the retirement age of 65.

        such
        date (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) would permanently
        decrease to no more than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of bona

        III -- RETIREMENT BENEFITS

      


      3.1           Retirement
        Benefit.  If a Participant has a Separation from Service on or
        after the Retirement Date, the Employer will pay to the Participant an annual
        retirement benefit (“Retirement Benefit”), determined pursuant to Section 3.2
        hereof, payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, for ten
        (10)
        consecutive years.

      


      3.2           Determination
        of Retirement Benefit.  A Participant’s annual Retirement
        Benefit  shall be an amount, determined as of such Participant’s
        Retirement Date, equal to fifty (50%) percent of the Participant’s
        Compensation.

      


      3.3           Payment

        Participant upon such Participant’s Separation from Service, pursuant to the
        provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, shall be payable in the form of equal
        quarterly installment payments (“Quarterly Payments”) for ten (10) consecutive
        years beginning on the first day of the first full calendar quarter following
        the lapse of six months after a Participant’s Separation from

        increased during the period commencing on the date of the Change in Control
        and
        ending on the date of the Separation from Service based on the Participant’s
        Compensation, with such payment to be made on the first day of the month

        to
        the payment of forty (40) Quarterly Payments, the Employer shall pay to the
        Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated in writing by such Participant (or

        the Participant’s estate if the Participant fails to so designate a Beneficiary
        or Beneficiaries) the remaining retirement benefits until the Participant
        and

        Employer shall pay to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated in writing
        by
        such Participant (or to the Participant’s estate if the Participant fails to so
        designate a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries) the Retirement Benefit provided
        for in
        Section 3.1.  For purposes hereof, the date of death shall be deemed

        receiving a Retirement Benefit in installments pursuant to Section 4.1 or
        4.2,
        the remaining benefit to which such Beneficiary was entitled at the time
        of such
        Beneficiary’s death shall continue to be payable to the beneficiary or
        beneficiaries, designated in writing by such Beneficiary, on a form to be

        VI -- PARTICIPANT’S RIGHTS

      


      6.1           Participant’s
        Rights.  The rights of a Participant or a Participant’s
        Beneficiaries to benefits under this Plan shall be solely those of an unsecured
        creditor of the Employer.  Any insurance policy or other asset
        acquired or held by, or on behalf of, the Employer or funds allocated by
        the
        Employer in connection with the liabilities assumed by the Employer pursuant
        to
        this Plan shall not be deemed to be held under any trust for the benefit
        of a
        Participant or Participant’s Beneficiaries or to be security for the performance
        of the Employer’s obligations pursuant hereto, but shall be and remain a general
        asset of the Employer.

      


      6.2           Spendthrift
        Provision.  Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have
        any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage
        or
        otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual
        receipt
        the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and
        all
        rights to which are, expressly declared to be non-assignable and
        non-transferrable.  No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to
        actual payment, be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of
        any
        debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or
        any
        other person, nor be transferrable by operation of law in the event of a
        Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

      


      6.3           Plan
        Not An Employment Agreement.  This Plan shall not be deemed to
        constitute an employment agreement between the parties hereto nor shall any
        provision hereof restrict the right of the Employer to discharge a Participant
        as an employee of the Employer or restrict a Participant’s right to terminate
        his employment.

      


      6.4           Protective
        Provisions.  A Participant will cooperate with the Employer by
        furnishing any and all information requested by the Employer in order to
        facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, taking such physical examinations
        as the Employer may deem necessary and taking such other action as may be
        requested by the Employer.  If a Participant makes any material
        misstatement of information or nondisclosure of medical history, then a
        Participant shall not be considered as having been a Participant in the
        Plan.

      


      ARTICLE
        VII -- MISCELLANEOUS

      


      7.1           Termination
        of Plan.  The Employer, upon written notice to a Participant,
        shall have the right, at any time, to terminate this Plan; provided, however,
        that if a termination of the Plan occurs following a Change in Control, then
        no
        such termination shall adversely affect the rights of a Participant to his
        Vested Benefit.  Such termination shall become effective when
        authorized by the Board of Directors of the Employer and written notice is
        given
        to a Participant.  Upon termination of this Plan, (1) those
        Participants then receiving Retirement Benefits pursuant to the provisions
        of
        Article III, (2) those Beneficiaries receiving benefits pursuant to the
        provisions of Article IV, and (3) those Participants entitled to receive
        a
        Vested Benefit following a Change in Control pursuant to Section 3.4 of the
        Plan
        shall have a continued right to receive such benefits in accordance with
        this
        Plan.  Other Participants who are not then receiving Retirement
        Benefits will not be entitled to any benefits pursuant to this
        Plan.

        and
        each Participant hereunder and their respective heirs, executors,
        administrators, successors and assigns.

      


      7.3           Amendments
        and Modifications.  This Plan may be changed or altered by a
        written instrument signed by the Employer and shall become effective upon
        written notification to the Participants; provided, however, that following
        a
