shall become entitled to payment hereunder, but shall die before payment in full
of the applicable benefits, any remainder thereof shall be paid in monthly
installments either to the issue of Employee, per stirpes, and if none, then to

time or from time to time in its absolute and sole discretion, as permitted

shall deem any person entitled to receive any payments under this Agreement to
be unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a
minor, any such payments (unless a prior claim therefore shall have been made by
a duly appointed guardian, committee or other legal representative) may be made
to the spouse, child or children, parent, brother or sister of such person, or

such person, in the manner and amount that such payments would have been

Agreement.

or benefits contrary to the foregoing provisions, or the levy or any attachment
or similar process thereon, shall be null and void and without
effect.

       

      12.         Discharge
Provisions 

       

      (a)     Notwithstanding
anything which might be herein contained to the contrary, it being clearly
understood and agreed upon by the parties hereto the EMPLOYMENT OF EMPLOYEE IS AND SHALL REMAIN
EMPLOYMENT SOLELY AT-WILL , Employer may at any time discharge
Employee, whether or not for cause, in which event or in the event Employee sues
or in any manner contests such “at-will” employment or Employer's right to
discharge Employee, then upon written notice to Employee and effective
immediately upon the mailing thereof in the manner set forth in Section 19
hereof, Employee's right to receive benefits hereunder shall be fixed and
determined as of such date; provided that nothing herein shall affect Employee's
right to receive payment of such benefits in the manner and at the time herein
provided, except as otherwise provided in Section 12(b) hereof.

       

      (b)     If Employee incurs a
Separation from Service on account of termination of employment by Employer
without cause and Employee is at least age 55, a monthly benefit paid for one
hundred eighty (180) consecutive months will be paid commencing within sixty
(60) days following the date of the discharged Employee's attainment of Normal
Retirement Age, or if sooner, within sixty (60) days following the Employee’s
death.  Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 12(b), if the benefit
payable under this Section 12(b) is paid upon Employee’s Separation from Service
and Employee is a key employee, then such payment is subject to the Payment
Delay for Specified Employees.  The benefit paid under this Section 12(b)
will be calculated using the then discounted  present value of the
discharged Employee's Monthly Retirement Benefit Units accrued on Employer's
books as of the December 31st immediately prior to the date when Employee's
rights to receive a benefit is fixed under Section 12(a) hereof.  The
monthly benefit will be determined assuming that the discounted present value is
paid for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive equal monthly installments
assuming interest at the same rate as used in determining the present
value.  No Disability Retirement Benefits will be paid under this
provision.

       

      (c)     In the event that Employee
shall be convicted of a crime involving Employee's business affairs or in the
event that Employer shall have reasonable cause to believe Employee to be guilty
of any such crime, all rights of Employee under this Agreement shall terminate
immediately, and Employer shall have the right to terminate and make no payments
whatsoever of Supplemental Benefits hereunder, notwithstanding that such amounts
would constitute all or a portion of the benefits otherwise payable
hereunder.  Such right of Employer shall be in addition to, and not in lieu
of, any and all other rights which Employer may have in such event.  The
provisions hereof shall be applicable notwithstanding that payment of such
Normal Retirement Benefit or Disability Retirement Benefits may have theretofore
commenced under any provision of this Agreement.

       

      13.           
 Non-Competition Provision .  Notwithstanding anything herein
contained to the contrary, no payment of any then unpaid installments of
benefits under this Agreement shall be made and all rights under this Agreement
of Employee, his spouse, executors or administrators, or other persons claiming
through or on behalf of Employee to receive payments thereof, shall be
forfeited, unless such forfeiture is waived by the Board, if Employee engages in
or takes part in any business enterprise of any kind during employment by
Employer or within a period of three (3) years after termination of such
employment or at any time while Employee is receiving benefits hereunder for any
reason whatsoever, within a sixty (60) mile radius of York, Pennsylvania,
whether as an Employee or as an owner directly or indirectly, which manufacture,
produces or sells any article then manufactured, produced or sold by Employer or
by a present or future holding company of Employer or subsidiary of Employer or
of such holding company, or which may be in any other way directly or indirectly
competitive with the business of Employer or such holding company or subsidiary
of
Employer.

       

      14.           
 No Trust Relationship .  Nothing contained in this Agreement
and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall create or
be construed to create a trust or security relationship of any kind, nor a
fiduciary relationship between Employer and Employee, or any Beneficiary of the
latter or other person presently or prospectively entitled to the receipt of
payments hereunder.  To the extent that any person becomes entitled,
presently or prospectively, to receive payments from Employer under this
Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the right shall be no greater
than the right of any unsecured general creditor of
Employer.

       

      15.           
 Power and Authority .  Plan Administrator shall have full
power and authority to interpret, construe and administer this Agreement, and
any such interpretation or construction hereof by Plan Administrator, or other
action hereunder, including the amount or recipient of any one or more payments
of the benefits payable  hereunder, shall be binding and conclusive on all
persons, whether in being or not.  Neither Employer nor Plan Administrator
shall not be liable to any person, whether in being or not, for any action taken
or omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of this
Agreement, unless attributable to the willful misconduct or bad faith of
Employer or Plan Administrator, it being understood and agreed, however, that
the employment of Employee is and shall continue to be solely
at-will.

       

      16.           
 Waiver of Breach .  Failure to insist upon strict compliance
with any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a
waiver of such term, covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver or
relinquishment of any right of power hereunder at any one time or more times be
deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any other time or
times.

       

      17.           
 Modification .  This Agreement shall not be modified or
amended except by written Agreement duly executed by Employee and
Employer.

       

      18.

part of this Agreement shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to

other parts hereof.

 Claim Decision . The Claimant shall
be notified within ninety (90) days after the claim is filed whether the claim
is allowed or denied (forty-five (45) days in the case of a claim involving

extension.  If Plan Administrator denies the claim, it must provide to the
Claimant, in writing or by electronic

decision upon review will be made within sixty (60) days after Plan
Administrator’s receipt of a request for review (forty-five (45) days in the
case of a claim involving Disability Retirement Benefits), unless special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a

completion of its review of an adverse initial claim determination, Plan
Administrator will give the Claimant, in writing or by electronic notification,

criterion will be provided without charge to the Claimant upon
request.

       

                  Unless
a Claimant voluntarily avails himself or herself of the procedures set forth in
Section 20(g) below, all interpretations, determinations and decisions of Plan
Administrator in respect of any claim shall be made in its sole discretion based
on the applicable Agreement documents and shall be final, conclusive and binding
on all parties.

       

      (d)              
 Calculation of Time Periods . For
purposes of the time periods specified in this Article, the period of time
during which a benefit determination is required to be made begins at the time a
claim is filed in accordance with the Agreement procedures without regard to
whether all the information necessary to make a decision accompanies the claim.
If a period of time is extended due to a Claimant’s failure to submit all
information necessary, the period for making the determination shall be tolled
from the date the notification is sent to the Claimant until the date the
Claimant responds.

       

      (e)               
 Failure of Agreement to Follow
Procedures . If the Agreement fails to follow the claims procedure required
by this Article, a Claimant shall be entitled to pursue any available remedy
under Section 502(a) of ERISA on the basis that the Agreement has failed to
provide reasonable claims procedure that would yield a decision on the merits of
the claim.

       

      (f)               
 Failure of Claimant to Follow
Procedures . A Claimant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of this
Article is a mandatory prerequisite to the Claimant’s right to commence any
legal action with respect to any claim for benefits under the
Agreement.

       

      (g)              
 Arbitration of Claims .  Instead
of  pursuing his or her claim in court, a Participant may voluntarily agree
that all claims or controversies arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement shall, subject to the initial review provided for in the foregoing
provisions of this Article, be resolved through arbitration as provided in this
Article. Except as otherwise provided or by mutual agreement of the parties, any
arbitration shall be administered under and by the Judicial Arbitration &
Mediation Services, Inc. (“ JAMS ”), in accordance with the JAMS procedure then in
effect. The arbitration shall be held in the JAMS office nearest to where the
Claimant is or was last employed by Employer or at a mutually agreeable
location. The prevailing party in the arbitration shall have the right to
recover its reasonable attorney’s fees, disbursements and costs of the
arbitration (including enforcement of the arbitration decision), subject to any
contrary determination by the arbitrator.  If the Claimant voluntarily
avails himself or herself of the procedures set forth in this Section 20(g), all
determinations of the arbitrators in respect of any claim shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all parties. 

       

      21.           
 Gender and Plural .  All references made and pronouns used
herein shall be construed in the singular or plural, and in such gender as the
context may
require.

       

      22.           
 Captions .  The captions of the various provisions shall not
be deemed a part of this Agreement and shall not be construed in any way to
limit the contents hereof but are inserted herein only for reference and for
convenience of the parties. 

       

      23.           
 Governing State Law .  This Agreement may be executed at
different times in different places, but all questions concerning the
construction or validity hereof, or relating to performance hereunder, shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. 

       

      24.           
 Duplicate Originals .  This Agreement may be executed in one
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and there shall be
no requirement to produce another counterpart.

       

      25.           
 Successors or Assigns .  It is hereby agreed that the terms
and provisions of this Supplemental Retirement Plan shall be binding upon the
successors or assigns of The York Water Company (Employer).

       

      26.           
Section 409A
Compliance . This Agreement is intended to comply with the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall in all respects be
administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, distributions may only be made under
this Agreement upon an event and in a manner permitted by Section 409A of the
Code, including the requirement that “specified employees,” as such term is
defined in Section 409A of the Code, may not receive distributions prior to the
end of the six-month period following a Separation from Service.  If a
payment is not made by the designated payment date under the Agreement, the
payment shall be made by December 31 of the calendar year in which the
designated date occurs.  To the extent that any provision of this Agreement
would cause a conflict with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or
would cause the administration of the Agreement to fail to satisfy the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be deemed null
and void to the extent permitted by applicable law.  In no event may
Employee designate the year of a distribution.   Notwithstanding
anything in the Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended by
Employer at any time, retroactively if required, to the extent required to
conform the Agreement to Section 409A of the Code.
            IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, Employer has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly
authorized officers, and Employee has hereunto set his hand and seal as of the
day and year first above written.

January, 2009, by The York Water Company, a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Plan
Sponsor”).

         

        WHEREAS, the Plan Sponsor has
previously adopted and established a non-tax qualified plan of deferred
compensation to provide additional retirement benefits for a select group of
management and highly compensated employees; and

         

        WHEREAS, effective as of
January 1, 2009, the Plan Sponsor has amended and restated the Plan in its
entirety and intends that the Plan shall at all times be administered and
interpreted in such a manner as to constitute an unfunded nonqualified deferred
compensation plan for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee

intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment pursuant to Section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any successor
section or statute. This Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations (as defined below) or any
other authoritative guidance issued under that section.

         

        NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan
Sponsor hereby adopts the following Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation
Plan.

by Plan Sponsor. Participation in this Plan shall be limited to a select
group of management or highly compensated employees of the Plan Sponsor, as
determined by the Plan Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion. The initial
group of Eligible Employees shall become Participants on the Effective Date of
the Plan. Any individual selected by the Plan Administrator as an Eligible
Employee after the Effective Date, shall become a Participant on the first Entry
Date occurring on or after the date on which he or she becomes an Eligible
Employee, provided that the Eligible Employee meets the enrollment requirements
set forth in Section 2.3 below.

         

        2.2           Re-Employment.  If
a Participant who incurs a Separation from Service with the Plan Sponsor or an
Affiliate is subsequently re-employed, he or she may, at the sole and absolute
discretion of the Plan Administrator, become a Participant in accordance with
the provisions of above Section 2.1.

         

        2.3           Enrollment
Requirements. As a condition to participation in this Plan, each selected
Eligible Employee shall complete, execute, and return to the Plan Administrator
a Participation Agreement and Election Form within the time specified by the
Plan Administrator, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the
date that an Eligible Employee is first selected by the Plan Sponsor to
participate in the Plan in accordance with Section 2.1 above; provided, however,
that any Base Salary deferral election shall be effective only with regard to
Base Salary earned following submission of the Participation Agreement and
Election Form to the Plan Administrator.  In addition, the Plan
Administrator shall establish such other enrollment requirements as it
determines necessary or advisable. All elections to defer Base Salary with
respect to a Plan Year shall be irrevocable, except as permitted under Section
5.5 below (Unforeseeable Emergency).

amounts deferred by or on behalf of a Participant under this Plan shall be
aggregated with deferred amounts under other “account balance plans” currently
maintained or adopted in the future by the Plan Sponsor, and all amounts shall
be treated as deferred under the rules governing a single plan.

of Participation. If the Plan Administrator determines that a Participant
who has not experienced a Separation from Service no longer qualifies as a
member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees or that
such a Participant’s participation in the Plan could jeopardize the status of
this Plan as “unfunded” and “maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose
of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly
compensated employees,” the Plan Administrator shall have the right to terminate
any deferral election the Participant has made for any Plan Year following the
Plan Year in which the Participant is determined by the Plan Administrator to no
longer qualify as a member of a select group of management or highly compensated
employees but only to the extent such termination complies with the requirements
of Section 409A, and/or to prevent the Participant from making future deferral
elections and receiving Plan Sponsor Contribution Amounts under the
Plan.

liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship. If
the Plan Administrator approves a Participant’s petition for a payment then the

Relations Order. The Plan will permit direct payment of a Participant’s
Vested Account balance to an individual other than a Participant as necessary to
fulfill a domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the
Code.

         

        (b)           Conflicts

schedule of payment under the Plan as may be necessary to comply with a
certificate of divesture.

         

        (c)           De
Minimis and Specified Amounts. The Plan will permit the acceleration of
the time or schedule of payment to a Participant, provided that (i) the payment
accompanies the termination in the entirety of the Participant’s interest in the
Plan; (ii) the payment is made on or before the later of: (A) December 31 of the
Plan Year in which occurs the Participant’s Separation from Service from the
Plan Sponsor, or (B) the date is 2 1⁄2 months after the Participant’s Separation
from Service from the Plan Sponsor; and (iii) the payment is not greater than
$10,000.

         

        (d)           Payment
of Employment Taxes. The Plan will permit the acceleration of the time or
schedule of a payment to pay the FICA Amount. Additionally, the Plan will permit
the acceleration of the time or schedule of a payment to pay the income tax on
wages imposed as a result of the payment of the FICA amount, and to pay the
additional income tax on wages attributable to the pyramiding wages and taxes.
However, the total payment under this acceleration provision will not exceed the
aggregate of the FICA Amount, and the income tax withholding related to such
FICA Amount in accordance with the requirement of Treasury Regulations Section
1.409A-3(j)(4)(vi).

         

        (e)           Payment
upon Income Inclusion under Section 409A.  The Plan will permit
the acceleration of the time or schedule of a payment to a Participant at any
time the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A.  Such
Payment may not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result
of the failure to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

to the Participant or any Beneficiary hereunder shall be made from assets which
shall continue, for all purposes, to be part of the general, unrestricted assets
of the Plan Sponsor and no person shall have any interest in any such asset by
virtue of any provision of this Plan. The Plan Sponsor’s obligation hereunder
shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the
future.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive
payments from the Plan Sponsor under the provisions hereof, such right shall be
no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Plan Sponsor
and no such person shall have or acquire any legal or equitable right, interest
or claim in or to any property or assets of the Plan Sponsor.

         

        (b)           In
the event that the Plan Sponsor purchases an insurance policy or policies
insuring the life of a Participant or employee, to allow the Plan Sponsor to
recover or meet the cost of providing benefits, in whole or in part, hereunder,
no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any rights whatsoever in said policy or
the proceeds there from. The Plan Sponsor, or Trustee, shall be the primary
owner and beneficiary of any such insurance policy or property and shall possess
and may exercise all incidents of ownership therein.

         

        (c)           In
the event that the Plan Sponsor purchases an insurance policy or policies on the
life of a Participant as provided for above, then all of such policies shall be
subject to the claims of the creditors of the Plan Sponsor.

         

        (d)           If
the Plan Sponsor chooses to obtain insurance on the life of a Participant in
connection with its obligations under this Plan, the Participant hereby agrees
to take such physical examinations and to truthfully and completely supply such
information as may be required by the Plan Sponsor or the insurance company
designated by the Plan Sponsor.

         

        5.9           Facility
of Payment.  If a distribution is to be made to a minor, or to
a person who is otherwise incompetent, then the Plan Administrator may make such
distribution: (i) to the legal guardian, or if none, to a parent of a minor
payee with whom the payee maintains his or her residence, or (ii) to the
conservator or administrator or, if none, to the person having custody of an
incompetent payee. Any such distribution shall fully discharge the Plan Sponsor
and the Plan Administrator from further liability on account
thereof.

         

        5.10           Excise
Tax Limitation:  In the event that any payment or benefit
(within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to the Participant or for
the Participant’s benefit paid or payable or distributed or distributable
(including, but not limited to, the acceleration of the time for the vesting or
payment of such benefit or payment) pursuant to the terms of this Plan or
otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, the Participant’s employment
with the Plan Sponsor or any of its Affiliates or a Change of Control within the
meaning of Section 280G of the Code (a “Payment” or “Payments”), would be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise
Tax”), then the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) but only to the
extent necessary that no portion thereof shall be subject to the Excise Tax (the
“Section 4999 Limit”).  The Payments shall be reduced on a
nondiscretionary basis in such a way as to minimize the reduction in the
economic value deliverable to the Participant.  Where more than one
payment has the same value for this purpose and they are payable at different
times they will be reduced on a pro rata basis.

         

        5.11           Delay in
Payment by Plan Sponsor.  In the case of payments by the Plan
Sponsor to a Participant or Participant’s Beneficiary, the deduction for which
would be limited or eliminated by the application of Section 162(m) of the Code,
payments that would otherwise violate securities laws, or payments that would
violate loan covenants or other contractual terms to which the Participant is a
party, and where such a violation would result in material harm to the Plan
Sponsor, said payments may be delayed.  In the case of deduction
limitations imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code, payment will be deferred
until the earlier of (i) a date in the first year in which the Plan Sponsor
reasonably anticipates that a payment of such amount would not result in a
limitation under 162(m) or (ii) the year in which the Participant Separates from
Service.  Payments delayed for other permissible reasons must be made
in the first calendar year in which the Plan Sponsor reasonably anticipates that
the payment would not violate the loan contractual terms, the violation would
not result in material harm to the Plan Sponsor, or the payment would not result
in a violation of Federal securities law or other applicable laws.

         

        5.12           Permissible
Payment Event Calculation. The Plan Sponsor agrees that in determining
the benefits payable under Articles 5.1 through 5.5 above, that the amount of
each monthly payment actually made to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary
will be determined by dividing his or her Scheduled Withdrawal Account balance
(or Enhanced Benefit described in Section 5.13 below) prior to the first payment
by 120 and then increasing the amount by the amount of federal and state income
tax saved by the Plan Sponsor (if any) when making each payment.  The
savings will be calculated based on the marginal federal and state income tax
bracket for the Plan Sponsor.

        (a)           Each
Participant may designate any person or persons (who may be named contingently
or successively) to receive any benefits payable under the Plan upon the
Participant’s death, and the designation may be changed from time to time by the
Participant by filing a new designation. Each designation will revoke all prior
designations by the same Participant, shall be in the form prescribed by the
Plan Administrator, and shall be effective only when filed in writing with the
Plan Administrator during the Participant’s lifetime.

         

        (b)           In
the absence of a valid Beneficiary designation, or if, at the time any benefit
payment is due to a Beneficiary, there is no living Beneficiary validly named by
the Participant, the Plan Sponsor shall pay the benefit payment to the
Participant’s spouse, if then living, and if the spouse is not then living to
the Participant’s then living descendants, if any, per stirpes, and if there are
no living descendants, to the Participant’s estate. In determining the existence
or identity of anyone entitled to a benefit payment, the Plan Sponsor may rely
conclusively upon information supplied by the Participant’s personal
representative, executor or administrator.

         

        (c)           If
a question arises as to the existence or identity of anyone entitled to receive
a death benefit payment under the Plan, or if a dispute arises with respect to
any death benefit payment under the Plan, the Plan Sponsor may distribute the
payment to the Participant’s estate without liability for any tax or other
consequences, or may take any other action which the Plan Sponsor deems to be
appropriate.

not be obligated to search for any Participant or Beneficiary beyond the sending
of a registered letter to the last known address.

first calendar year in which the payment is administratively
practicable.

Plan Sponsor does not adopt a new plan that would be aggregated with any
terminated plan if the same Participant participated in both arrangements, at
any time within three (3) years following the date of termination of the
Plan.

         

        The Plan
Sponsor also reserves the right to suspend the operation of the Plan for a fixed
or indeterminate period of time.

         

        (c)           [Change
in Control.  The Plan Sponsor may also terminate the Plan and make
distributions provided that:

         

        (i)           All
plans sponsored by the Plan Sponsor that would be aggregated with any terminated
arrangements under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(c) are liquidated and
terminated;

         

        (ii)           The
Plan is terminated within thirty (30) days preceding or twelve (12) months
following a change in control that constitutes a “change in control event”
within the meaning of such term under Treasury Regulations Section

(ii) no amendment or modification shall materially and adversely affect the
Participant’s rights to be credited with additional amounts on such Account(s),
or otherwise materially and adversely affect the Participant’s rights with
respect to such Account(s). The amendment or modification of this Plan shall

powers and duties in connection with the administration of this Plan as the Plan
Administrator may from time to time prescribe.

         

        8.3           Binding
Effect of Decision. The decision or action of the Plan Administrator with
respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration,

        Claims
Procedures

         

        9.1           Claims
Procedure. This Article is based on final regulations issued by the
Department of Labor and published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2000
and codified in Section 2560.503-1 of the Department of Labor Regulations. If
any provision of this Article conflicts with the requirements of those
regulations, the requirements of those regulations will prevail.

         

        (a)           Claim.
A Participant or Beneficiary (hereinafter referred to as a “Claimant”) who
believes he or she is entitled to any Plan benefit under this Plan may file a
claim with the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall review the claim
itself or appoint an individual or entity to review the claim.

         

        (b)           Claim
Decision. The Claimant shall be notified within ninety (90) days after
the claim is filed whether the claim is allowed or denied (forty-five (45) days
in the case of a claim involving Disability benefits), unless, for claims not
involving Disability benefits, the Claimant receives written notice from the
Plan Administrator or appointee of the Plan Administrator prior to the end of
the ninety (90) day period stating that special circumstances require an
extension of the time for decision. Such extension is not to extend beyond the
day which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the day the claim is
filed.  In the case of a claim involving Disability benefits, the Plan
Administrator will notify the Claimant within the initial forty-five (45) day
period that the Plan Administrator needs up to an additional thirty (30) days to
review the Claimant’s claim.  If the Plan Administrator determines
that the additional thirty (30) day period is not sufficient and that additional
time is necessary to review the Claimant’s claim for Disability benefits, the
Plan Administrator may notify the Claimant of an additional thirty (30) day
extension.  If the Plan Administrator denies the claim, it must
provide to the Claimant, in writing or by electronic communication:

         

        (i)           The
specific reasons for such denial;

         

        (ii)           Specific
reference to pertinent provisions of this Plan on which such denial is
based;

         

        (iii)           A
description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant
to perfect his or her claim and an explanation why such material or such
information is necessary;

         

        (iv)           In
the case of any claim involving Disability benefits, a copy of any internal
rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion relied upon in making the
initial determination or a statement that such a rule, guideline, protocol, or
other criterion was relied upon in making the determination and that a copy of
such rule will be provided to the Claimant free of charge at the Claimant’s
request; and

         

        (v)           A
description of the Plan’s appeal procedures and the time limits applicable to
such procedures, including a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil
action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following a denial of the appeal of the
denial of the benefits claim.

         

        (c)           Review
Procedures.  A request for review of a denied claim must be
made in writing to the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after receiving
notice of denial (one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of a claim involving
Disability benefits). The decision upon review will be made within sixty (60)
days after the Plan Administrator’s receipt of a request for review (forty-five
(45) days in the case of a claim involving Disability benefits), unless special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a
decision will be rendered not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after
receipt of a request for review (ninety (90) days in the case of a claim for
Disability benefits). A notice of such an extension must be provided to the
Claimant within the initial sixty (60) day period (the initial forty-five (45)
day period in the case of a claim for Disability benefits) and must explain the
special circumstances and provide an expected date of decision.  The
reviewer shall afford the Claimant an opportunity to review and receive, without
charge, all relevant documents, information and records and to submit issues and
comments in writing to the Plan Administrator. The reviewer shall take into
account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the
Claimant relating to the claim regardless of whether the information was
submitted or considered in the benefit determination.  Upon completion
of its review of an adverse initial claim determination, the Plan Administrator
will give the Claimant, in writing or by electronic notification, a notice
containing:

         

        (i)           its
decision;

         

        (ii)           the
specific reasons for the decision;

         

        (iii)           the
relevant Plan provisions on which its decision is based;

         

        (iv)           a
statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and without
charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other
information in the Plan’s files which is relevant to the Claimant’s claim for
benefit;

         

        (v)           a
statement describing the Claimant’s right to bring an action for judicial review
under Section 502(a) of ERISA; and

         

        (vi)           In
the case of any claim involving Disability benefits, a copy of any internal
rule, guideline, protocol, or other similar criterion that was relied upon in
making the adverse determination on review or a statement that a copy of the
rule, guideline, protocol or other similar criterion was relied upon in making
the adverse determination on review and that a copy of such rule, guideline,
protocol, or similar criterion will be provided without charge to the Claimant
upon request.

         

        Unless a
Claimant voluntarily avails himself or herself of the procedures set forth in
Section 9.2 below, all interpretations, determinations and decisions of the Plan
Administrator in respect of any claim shall be made in its sole discretion based
on the applicable Plan documents and shall be final, conclusive and binding on
all parties.

         

        (d)           Calculation
of Time Periods. For purposes of the time periods specified in this
Article, the period of time during which a benefit determination is required to
be made begins at the time a claim is filed in accordance with the Plan
procedures without regard to whether all the information necessary to make a
decision accompanies the claim. If a period of time is extended due to a
Claimant’s failure to submit all information necessary, the period for making
the determination shall be tolled from the date the notification is sent to the
Claimant until the date the Claimant responds.

         

        (e)           Failure
of Plan to Follow Procedures. If the Plan fails to follow the claims
procedure required by this Article, a Claimant shall be entitled to pursue any
available remedy under Section 502(a) of ERISA on the basis that the Plan has
failed to provide reasonable claims procedure that would yield a decision on the
merits of the claim.

         

        (f)           Failure
of Claimant to Follow Procedures. A Claimant’s compliance with the
foregoing provisions of this Article is a mandatory prerequisite to the
Claimant’s right to commence any legal action with respect to any claim for
benefits under the Plan.

         

        9.2           Arbitration
of Claims.  Instead of pursuing his or her claim in court, a
Participant may voluntarily agree that all claims or controversies arising out
of or in connection with this Plan shall, subject to the initial review provided
for in the foregoing provisions of this Article, be resolved through arbitration
as provided in this Article. Except as otherwise provided or by mutual agreement
of the parties, any arbitration shall be administered under and by the Judicial
Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), in accordance with the JAMS
procedure then in effect. The arbitration shall be held in the JAMS office
nearest to where the Claimant is or was last employed by the Plan Sponsor or at
a mutually agreeable location. The prevailing party in the arbitration shall
have the right to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees, disbursements and
costs of the arbitration (including enforcement of the arbitration decision),
subject to any contrary determination by the arbitrator.  If the
Claimant voluntarily avails himself or herself of the procedures set forth in
this Section 9.2, all determinations of the arbitrators in respect of any claim
shall be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

        The
Trust

         

        10.1           Establishment
of Trust.  The Plan Sponsor may establish a Trust. If the Plan
Sponsor establishes a Trust, all benefits payable under this Plan to a
Participant shall be paid directly by the Plan Sponsor from the Trust. To the
extent such benefits are not paid from the Trust, the benefits shall be paid
from the general assets of the Plan Sponsor.  The Trust, if any, shall
be an irrevocable grantor trust which conforms to the terms of the model trust
as described in IRS Revenue Procedure 92-64, I.R.B. 1992-33.  If the
Plan Sponsor establishes a Trust, the assets of the Trust will be subject to the
claims of the Plan Sponsor’s creditors in the event of its insolvency. Except as
may otherwise be provided under the Trust, the Plan Sponsor shall not be
obligated to set aside, earmark or escrow any funds or other assets to satisfy
its obligations under this Plan, and the Participant and/or his or her
designated Beneficiaries shall not have any property interest in any specific
assets of the Plan Sponsor other than the unsecured right to receive payments
from the Plan Sponsor, as provided in this Plan.

         

        10.2           Interrelationship
of the Plan and the Trust.  The provisions of the Plan shall
govern the rights of a Participant to receive distributions pursuant to the
Plan.  The provisions of the Trust (if established) shall govern the
rights of the Participant and the creditors of the Plan Sponsor to the assets

obligations under the Plan.  The Plan Sponsor’s obligations under the
Plan may be satisfied with Trust assets distributed pursuant to the terms of the
Trust.

         

        10.3           Contribution
to the Trust.  Amounts may be contributed by the Plan Sponsor

        Miscellaneous

         

        11.1           Validity.  In
case any provision of this Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason, said
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this
Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had
never been inserted herein. To the extent any provision of the Plan is
determined by the Plan Administrator (acting in good faith), the Internal
Revenue Service, the United States Department of the Treasury or a court of
competent jurisdiction to fail to comply with Section 409A with respect to any
Participant or Participants, such provision shall have no force or effect with
respect to such Participant or Participants.

         

        11.2           Nonassignability.
Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute,
sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber,
transfer, hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the
amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part hereof, which are, and all
rights to which are expressly declared to be, unassignable and non-transferable.
No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to
seizure, attachment, garnishment (except to the extent the Plan Sponsor may be
required to garnish amounts from payments due under this Plan pursuant to
applicable law) or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments,
alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, be
transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participants’ or any other
persons’ bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of
a property settlement or otherwise. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor
in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to commute, sell, assign,
transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber transfer,
hypothecate, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amount, if
any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, the Plan Administrator, in its
discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or
for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in
such manner as the Plan Administrator shall direct.

         

        11.3           Not a
Contract of Employment. The terms and conditions of this Plan shall not
be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Plan Sponsor and
the Participant. Nothing in this Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the
right to be retained in the service of the Plan Sponsor as an employee or to
interfere with the right of the Plan Sponsor to discipline or discharge the
Participant at any time.

         

        11.4           Governing
Law. Subject to ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed and
interpreted according to the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

         

        11.5           Notice.
Any notice, consent or demand required or permitted to be given under the
provisions of this Plan shall be in writing and shall be signed by the party
giving or making the same. If such notice, consent or demand is mailed, it shall
be sent by United States certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the
addressee’s last known address as shown on the records of the Plan Sponsor. The
date of such mailing shall be deemed the date of notice consent or
demand.  Any person may change the address to which notice is to be
sent by giving notice of the change of address in the manner
aforesaid.

         

        11.6           Coordination
with Other Benefits.  The benefits provided for a Participant
and Participant’s Beneficiary under the Plan are in addition to any other
benefits available to such Participant under any other plan or program for
Employees of the Plan Sponsor. The Plan shall supplement and shall not
supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except as may
otherwise be expressly provided.

         

        11.7           Compliance.  A
Participant shall have no right to receive payment with respect to the
Participant’s Account balance until all legal and contractual obligations of the
Plan Sponsor relating to establishment of the Plan and the making of such
payments shall have been complied with in full.

         

        11.8           Successor
Company.  The Plan will be continued after a sale of assets of
the Plan Sponsor, or a merger or consolidation of the Plan Sponsor into another
corporation or entity.

         

        11.9           Section
409A Compliance. The Plan is intended to comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 409A, and shall be administered in accordance with
Section 409A to the extent Section 409A applies to the
Plan.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary,
distributions from the Plan may only be made in a manner, and upon an event,
permitted by Section 409A.  If a payment is not made by the designated
payment date under the Plan, the payment shall be made by December 31 of the
calendar year in which the designated payment date occurs.  Each
installment payment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of
Section 409A.  To the extent that any provision of the Plan would
cause a conflict with the applicable requirements of Section 409A, or would
cause the administration of the Plan to fail to satisfy the applicable
requirements of Section 409A, such provision shall be deemed null and
void.  In no event shall a Participant, directly or indirectly,
designate the calendar year of payment.  Notwithstanding anything in
the Plan to the contrary, this Plan may be amended by the Plan Sponsor at any
time, retroactively if required, to the extent required to conform the Plan to
Section 409A.  No election made by a Participant hereunder, and no
change made by a Participant to a previous election shall be accepted by the
Plan Sponsor if the Plan Sponsor determines that acceptance of such election or
change could violate any of the requirements of Section 409A, resulting in early
taxation and penalties.

      The
Plan Sponsor and the Plan Administrator designate the above named Eligible
Employee as a Plan Participant. All capitalized terms used herein are defined in
the The York Water Company Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation
Plan.

       

      In
consideration of his or her designation as a Participant, the undersigned
Eligible Employee hereby agrees and acknowledges as follows:

       

      
        	
                1.

              	
                I have received a copy
      of The York Water Company Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan,
      as currently in effect.

              

      

       

      
        	
                2.

              	
                I agree to be bound by
      all of the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the determinations
      of the Plan Administrator, and to perform any and all acts required by me
      hereunder.

              

      

       

      
        	
                3.

              	
                I have the right to
      designate the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, and thereafter to change the
      Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, of any death benefit payable under the Plan,
      by completing and delivering to the Plan Administrator a form designating
      his or her Beneficiary.

              

      

       

      
        	
                4.

              	
                I understand that the
      Plan may have to be amended to comply with Section 409A, and I hereby
      agree to execute any documents necessary to make such
      amendments.

              

      

       

      
        	
                5.

              	
                I understand that my
      participation in the Plan can have tax and financial consequences for my
      Beneficiaries and me. I have had the opportunity to consult with my own
      tax, financial and legal advisors before deciding to participate in the
      Plan.

              

      

       

      
        	
                6.

              	
                I understand that my
      Plan benefits are subject to the claims of my Plan Sponsor’s creditors
      should my Plan Sponsor become bankrupt or
  insolvent.

              

      

       

      
        	
                7.

              	
                I understand that the
      Plan Sponsor Contributions (if any) shall vest based on Article 4.1 of the
      Plan.

              

      

       

      
        	
                8.

              	
                I understand that the
      Plan Agreement and any accompanying forms shall be interpreted in
      accordance with, and incorporate the terms and conditions required by
      Section 409A. I further understand that the Plan Administrator may, in its
      discretion, adopt such amendments to the Plan and any accompanying forms
      or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and
      procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as the
      Plan Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to comply with
      the requirements of Section 409A. Finally, I understand that the time or
      form of distributions that I may be allowed to elect (if any) may not be
      accelerated except as otherwise permitted by Section
  409A.
