Article 4

Beneficiaries

	4.1	 	In General. The Executive shall have the right, at any time, to designate a
Beneficiary to receive any benefit distributions under this Agreement upon the death of the
Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different
from the beneficiary designated under any other plan of the Bank in which the Executive
participates.
	 
	4.2	 	Designation. The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing
the Beneficiary Designation Form and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated
agent. If the Executive names someone other than the Executive’s spouse as a Beneficiary, the
Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine that spousal consent is required to
be provided in a form designated by the Plan Administrator, executed by the Executive’s spouse
and returned to the Plan Administrator. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be
deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive
names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive shall
have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the
terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s rules and procedures.
Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all
Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Plan Administrator shall be
entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and accepted
by the Plan Administrator prior to the Executive’s death.
	 
	4.3	 	Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be
effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Plan Administrator or
its designated agent.
	 
	4.4	 	No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary
designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive’s
spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, any
benefit shall be paid to the Executive’s estate.
	 
	4.5	 	Facility of Distribution. If the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion
that a benefit is to be distributed 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 distribution 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 distribution of a benefit

 

 

	 	 	shall be a distribution for the account of the Executive and the Beneficiary, as the case
may be, and shall completely discharge any liability under this Agreement for such
distribution amount.

Article 5

General Limitations

	5.1	 	Excess Parachute or Golden Parachute Payment. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not distribute any benefit under this Agreement to
the extent the benefit would be an excess parachute payment under Section 280(G) 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.C.R. §359.4.
	 
	5.2	 	Removal. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank
shall not distribute any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, any payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, shall
be subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C. 1828 and FDIC Regulation 12 CFR
Part 359, Golden Parachute Indemnification Payments and any other regulations or guidance
promulgated thereunder.
	 
	5.3	 	Suicide or Misstatement. No benefit shall be distributed if the Executive commits
suicide within two (2) years after the Effective Date, or if an insurance company which issued
a life insurance policy covering the Executive and owned by the Bank denies coverage (i) for
material misstatements of fact made by the Executive on an application for such life
insurance, or (ii) for any other reason.
	 
	5.4	 	Non-compete Provision. The Executive shall forfeit any non-distributed benefits
under this Agreement if during the term of this Agreement and within thirty (36) months
following a Separation from Service, the Executive, directly or indirectly, either as an
individual or as a proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent,
consultant or independent contractor of any individual, partnership, corporation or other
entity (excluding an ownership interest of one percent (1%) or less in the stock of a
publicly-traded company):

	 	(i)	 	becomes employed by, participates in, or becomes connected in any manner with
the ownership, management, operation or control of any bank, savings and loan or other
similar financial institution, as that term is defined in the Gramm-Leach-Bailey Act of
1999, Pub. L. 106-102 that has its main office, a branch office, or conducts any
business within a forty (40) mile radius of Mifflintown, Pennsylvania; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	participates in any way in hiring or otherwise engaging, or assisting any other
person or entity in hiring or otherwise engaging, on a temporary, part-time or

 

 

	 	 	 	permanent basis, any individual who was employed by the Corporation or any of
its subsidiaries during the three (3) year period immediately prior to the
termination of the Executive’s employment; or

	 	(iii)	 	assists, advises, or serves in any capacity, representative or otherwise, any
third party in any action against the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or
transaction involving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	sells, offers to sell, provides banking or other financial services, assists
any other person in selling or providing banking or other financial services, or
solicits or otherwise competes for, either directly or indirectly, any orders,
contract, or accounts for services of a kind or nature like or substantially similar to
the financial services performed or financial products sold by the Corporation or any
of its subsidiaries (the preceding hereinafter referred to as “Services”), to or from
any person or entity from whom the Executive or the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, to the knowledge of the Executive 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 termination of the
Executive’s employment;
	 
	 	(v)	 	divulges, discloses, or communicates to others in any manner whatsoever, any
confidential information of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, to the
knowledge of the Executive, including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of
customers or prospective customers, of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, 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 Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, earnings or other information concerning
the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. The restrictions contained in this
subparagraph (v) apply to all information regarding the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, 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 Executive.
	 
	 	5.4.1	 	Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by
the Executive of any provision of these restrictions, the Executive recognizes the
substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and further recognizes that in such event
monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of these
restrictions, the Executive consents to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries
entitlement to such ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or
permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries rights hereunder and preventing the Executive
from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. Nothing 

 

 

	 	 	 	herein shall
be construed as prohibiting the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries
from pursuing any other remedies available to the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the
recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive 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 Corporation or any of its subsidiaries 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 Executive’s
employment with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and (iv) his agreement
to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this
Agreement.

	 	5.4.2	 	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.

	5.5	 	Change in Control. The forfeiture provision detailed in Section 5.4 hereof shall not
be enforceable following a Change in Control.

Article 9

Miscellaneous

	9.1	 	Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Executive and the Bank and their
beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators and transferees.
	 
	9.2	 	No Guarantee of Employment. This Agreement is not a contract for employment. It
does not give the Executive the right to remain as an employee of the Bank nor interfere with
the Bank’s right to discharge the Executive. It does not require the Executive to remain an
employee nor interfere with the Executive’s right to terminate employment at any time.
	 
	9.3	 	Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.
	 
	9.4	 	Tax Withholding and Reporting. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are required
to be withheld, including but not limited to taxes owed under Code Section 409A from the
benefits provided under this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that the Bank’s sole
liability regarding taxes is to forward any amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing
authorities. The Bank shall satisfy all applicable reporting requirements, including those
under Code Section 409A.
	 
	9.5	 	Applicable Law. This Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be governed by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania except to the extent preempted by the laws of the
United States of America.
	 
	9.6	 	Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and the Beneficiary are general unsecured
creditors of the Bank for the distribution of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits
represent the mere promise by the Bank to distribute such benefits. The rights to benefits
are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Executive’s life or
other informal funding asset is a general asset of the Bank to which the Executive and
Beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.

 

 

	9.7	 	Reorganization. The Bank shall not merge or consolidate into or with another bank,
or reorganize, or sell substantially all of its assets to another bank, firm or person unless
such succeeding or continuing bank, firm or person agrees to assume and discharge the
obligations of the Bank under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of such an event, the term
“Bank” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the successor or survivor entity.
	 
	9.8	 	Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Bank
and the Executive as to the subject matter hereof. No rights are granted to the Executive by
virtue of this Agreement other than those specifically set forth herein.
	 
	9.9	 	Interpretation. Wherever the fulfillment of the intent and purpose of this Agreement
requires and the context will permit, the use of the masculine gender includes the feminine
and use of the singular includes the plural.
	 
	9.10	 	Alternative Action. In the event it shall become impossible for the Bank or the Plan
Administrator to perform any act required by this Agreement due to regulatory or other
constraints, the Bank or Plan Administrator may perform such alternative act as most nearly
carries out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and is in the best interests of the Bank,
provided that such alternative act does not violate Code Section 409A.
	 
	9.11	 	Headings. Article and section headings are for convenient reference only and shall
not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision herein.
	 
	9.12	 	Validity. If any provision of this Agreement shall be illegal or invalid for any
reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never
been included herein.
	 
	9.13	 	Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Bank or Plan
Administrator under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered or
sent by registered or certified mail to the address below:

	9.14	 	Deduction Limitation on Benefit Payments. If the Bank reasonably anticipates that
the Bank’s deduction with respect to any distribution under this Agreement would be limited or
eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by the
Bank to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution from this Agreement is deductible,
the Bank may delay payment of any amount that would otherwise be distributed under this
Agreement. The delayed amounts shall be distributed to the Executive (or the Beneficiary in
the event of the Executive’s death) at the earliest date the
Bank reasonably anticipates that the deduction of the payment of the amount will not be
limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m).
	 
	9.15	 	Compliance with Section 409A. This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered
consistent with Code Section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive and a duly authorized representative of the Bank have signed

Retirement Annual Benefit amount set forth in Schedule A for the Plan Year ended
immediately prior to the Early Retirement Date.

 

 

	 	2.2.2	 	Distribution of Benefit. The Bank shall distribute the annual benefit
to the Executive in twelve (12) equal monthly installments commencing on the first day
of the month following the Early Retirement Date. The annual benefit shall be
distributed to the Executive for fifteen (15) years.

	2.3	 	Early Termination Benefit. If the Executive terminates employment prior to Early

	2.4	 	Disability Benefit. If the Executive experiences a Disability prior to Normal

of Employment under such procedures as established by the Bank in accordance with Section 409A
of the Code, benefit distributions that are made upon Termination of Employment may not
commence earlier than six (6) months after the date of such Termination of Employment.
Therefore, in the event this Section 2.6 is applicable to the Executive, any distribution
which would otherwise be paid to the Executive within the first six months following the
Termination of Employment shall be accumulated and paid to the Executive in a lump sum on the
first day of the seventh 

 

 

	 	 	month following the Termination of Employment. All subsequent
distributions shall be paid in the manner specified.

	2.7	 	Distributions Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A of the Code. Upon the

the Code, to the extent such tax liability can be covered by the entire amount accrued by the
Bank with respect to the Bank’s obligations hereunder, a distribution shall be made as soon as
is administratively practicable following the discovery of the plan failure.
	 
	2.8	 	Change in Form or Timing of Distributions. All changes in the form or timing of

except as provided in Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder;
	 
	 	(b)	 	must, for benefits distributable under Section 2.4, be made at

Article 3

Distribution at Death

	3.1	 	Death During Active Service. If the Executive dies prior to Separation from Service
or Disability, the Bank shall distribute to the Beneficiary the benefit described in this
Section 3.1. This benefit shall be distributed in lieu of any benefit under Article 2.

	 	3.1.1	 	Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 3.1 is the Annual
Death Benefit for the Plan Year prior to death as set forth on Schedule A.
	 
	 	3.1.2	 	Distribution of Benefit. The Bank shall distribute the annual benefit
to the Beneficiary in twelve (12) equal monthly installments commencing on the first
day of the month following the Executive’s death. The annual benefit shall be
distributed to the Executive for fifteen (15) years.

	3.2	 	Death During Distribution of a Benefit. If the Executive dies after any benefit
distributions under Article 2 have commenced under this Agreement but before receiving all
such distributions, the Bank shall distribute to the Beneficiary the remaining benefits at the
same time and in the same amounts they would have been distributed to the Executive had the
Executive survived.
	 
	3.3	 	Death Before Benefit Distributions Commence. If the Executive is entitled to benefit
distributions under Article 2 of this Agreement but dies prior to the date that

 

 

	 	 	commencement of said benefit distributions are scheduled to be made under this Agreement, the Bank shall
distribute to the Beneficiary the same benefits to which the
Executive was entitled prior to death, except that the benefit distributions shall commence
upon the death of the Executive.

Article 4

Beneficiaries

	4.1	 	In General. The Executive shall have the right, at any time, to designate a
Beneficiary to receive any benefit distributions under this Agreement upon the death of the
Executive. The Beneficiary designated under this Agreement may be the same as or different
from the beneficiary designated under any other plan of the Bank in which the Executive
participates.
	 
	4.2	 	Designation. The Executive shall designate a Beneficiary by completing and signing
the Beneficiary Designation Form and delivering it to the Plan Administrator or its designated
agent. If the Executive names someone other than the Executive’s spouse as a Beneficiary, the
Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine that spousal consent is required to
be provided in a form designated by the Plan Administrator, executed by the Executive’s spouse
and returned to the Plan Administrator. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be
deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive
names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive shall
have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the
terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s rules and procedures.
Upon the acceptance by the Plan Administrator of a new Beneficiary Designation Form, all
Beneficiary designations previously filed shall be cancelled. The Plan Administrator shall be
entitled to rely on the last Beneficiary Designation Form filed by the Executive and accepted
by the Plan Administrator prior to the Executive’s death.
	 
	4.3	 	Acknowledgment. No designation or change in designation of a Beneficiary shall be
effective until received, accepted and acknowledged in writing by the Plan Administrator or
its designated agent.
	 
	4.4	 	No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary
designation, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive’s
spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, any
benefit shall be paid to the Executive’s estate.
	 
	4.5	 	Facility of Distribution. If the Plan Administrator determines in its discretion
that a benefit is to be distributed 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 distribution 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 distribution of a benefit

 

 

	 	 	shall be a
distribution for the account of the Executive and the Beneficiary, as the case
may be, and shall completely discharge any liability under this Agreement for such
distribution amount.

Article 5

General Limitations

	5.1	 	Excess Parachute or Golden Parachute Payment. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not distribute any benefit under this Agreement to
the extent the benefit would be an excess parachute payment under Section 280(G) 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.C.R. §359.4.
	 
	5.2	 	Removal. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank
shall not distribute any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, any payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, shall
be subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C. 1828 and FDIC Regulation 12 CFR
Part 359, Golden Parachute Indemnification Payments and any other regulations or guidance
promulgated thereunder.
	 
	5.3	 	Suicide or Misstatement. No benefit shall be distributed if the Executive commits
suicide within two (2) years after the Effective Date, or if an insurance company which issued
a life insurance policy covering the Executive and owned by the Bank denies coverage (i) for
material misstatements of fact made by the Executive on an application for such life
insurance, or (ii) for any other reason.
	 
	5.4	 	Non-compete Provision. The Executive shall forfeit any non-distributed benefits
under this Agreement if during the term of this Agreement and within thirty (36) months
following a Separation from Service, the Executive, directly or indirectly, either as an
individual or as a proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent,
consultant or independent contractor of any individual, partnership, corporation or other
entity (excluding an ownership interest of one percent (1%) or less in the stock of a
publicly-traded company):

	 	(i)	 	becomes employed by, participates in, or becomes connected in any manner with
the ownership, management, operation or control of any bank, savings and loan or other
similar financial institution, as that term is defined in the Gramm-Leach-Bailey Act of
1999, Pub. L. 106-102 that has its main office, a branch office, or conducts any
business within a forty (40) mile radius of Mifflintown, Pennsylvania; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	participates in any way in hiring or otherwise engaging, or assisting any other
person or entity in hiring or otherwise engaging, on a temporary, part-time or

 

 

	 	 	 	permanent basis, any individual who was employed by the Corporation or any of
its subsidiaries during the three (3) year period immediately prior to the
termination of the Executive’s employment; or

	 	(iii)	 	assists, advises, or serves in any capacity, representative or otherwise, any
third party in any action against the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or
transaction involving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	sells, offers to sell, provides banking or other financial services, assists
any other person in selling or providing banking or other financial services, or
solicits or otherwise competes for, either directly or indirectly, any orders,
contract, or accounts for services of a kind or nature like or substantially similar to
the financial services performed or financial products sold by the Corporation or any
of its subsidiaries (the preceding hereinafter referred to as “Services”), to or from
any person or entity from whom the Executive or the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, to the knowledge of the Executive 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 termination of the
Executive’s employment;
	 
	 	(v)	 	divulges, discloses, or communicates to others in any manner whatsoever, any
confidential information of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, to the
knowledge of the Executive, including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of
customers or prospective customers, of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, 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 Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, earnings or other information concerning
the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. The restrictions contained in this
subparagraph (v) apply to all information regarding the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries, 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 Executive.
	 
	 	5.4.1	 	Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by
the Executive of any provision of these restrictions, the Executive recognizes the
substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and further recognizes that in such event
monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of these
restrictions, the Executive consents to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries
entitlement to such ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or
permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries rights hereunder and preventing the Executive
from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. Nothing 

 

 

	 	 	 	herein shall
be construed as prohibiting the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries
from pursuing any other remedies available to the Corporation or any of its
subsidiaries at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the
recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive 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 Corporation or any of its subsidiaries 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 Executive’s
employment with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and (iv) his agreement
to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this
Agreement.

	 	5.4.2	 	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.

	5.5	 	Change in Control. The forfeiture provision detailed in Section 5.4 hereof shall not
be enforceable following a Change in Control.

Article 6

Administration of Agreement

	6.1	 	Plan Administrator Duties. The Plan Administrator shall administer this Agreement
according to its express terms and shall also have the discretion and authority to (i) make,
amend, interpret and enforce all appropriate rules and regulations for the administration of
this Agreement and (ii) decide or resolve any and all questions, including interpretations of
this Agreement, as may arise in connection with this Agreement to the extent the exercise of
such discretion and authority does not conflict with Code Section 409A.
	 
	6.2	 	Agents. In the administration of this Agreement, the Plan Administrator may employ
agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as the Plan Administrator sees fit,
including acting through a duly appointed representative, and may from time to time consult

	6.3	 	Binding Effect of Decisions. Any decision or action of the Plan Administrator with
respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration,
interpretation or application of this Agreement and the rules and regulations promulgated
hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in
this Agreement.
	 
	6.4	 	Indemnity of Plan Administrator. The Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the Plan
Administrator against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising

 

 

	 	 	from any action or failure to act with respect to this Agreement, except in the case of
willful misconduct by the Plan Administrator.

	6.5	 	Bank Information. To enable the Plan Administrator to perform its functions, the
Bank shall supply full and timely information to the Plan Administrator on all matters
relating to the date and circumstances of the Executive’s death, Disability or Separation from
Service, and such other pertinent information as the Plan Administrator may reasonably
require.
	 
	6.6	 	Annual Statement. The Plan Administrator shall provide to the Executive, within one
hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Plan Year, a statement setting forth the

benefits under this Agreement that he or she believes should be distributed shall make a claim
for such benefits as follows:

	 	7.1.1	 	Initiation – Written Claim. The claimant initiates a claim by

the denial as follows:

	 	7.2.1	 	Initiation – Written Request. To initiate the review, the claimant,
within sixty (60) days after receiving the Plan Administrator’s notice of denial, must

documents, records and other information relevant (as defined in applicable ERISA
regulations) to the claimant’s claim for benefits.
	 
	 	7.2.3	 	Considerations on Review. In considering the review, the Plan
Administrator shall take into account all materials and information the claimant

or considered in the initial benefit determination.
	 
	 	7.2.4	 	Timing of Plan Administrator Response. The Plan Administrator shall

prior to the end of the initial sixty (60) day period, that an additional period is
required. The notice of extension must set forth the special circumstances and the
date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render its decision.
	 
	 	7.2.5	 	Notice of Decision. The Plan Administrator shall notify the claimant

Article 8

Amendments and Termination

	8.1	 	Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement signed by the
Bank and the Executive. However, the Bank may unilaterally amend this Agreement to conform
with written directives to the Bank from its auditors or banking regulators or to comply with
legislative changes or tax law, including without limitation Section 409A of the Code and any
and all Treasury regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.
	 
	8.2	 	Plan Termination Generally. This Agreement may be terminated only by a written
agreement signed by the Bank and the Executive. The benefit hereunder shall be the entire
amount accrued by the Bank with respect to the Bank’s obligations hereunder as of the date the
Agreement is terminated. Except as provided in Section 8.3, the termination of this Agreement
shall not cause a distribution of benefits under this Agreement. Rather, after such
termination benefit distributions will be made at the earliest distribution event permitted
under Article 2 or Article 3.
	 
	8.3	 	Plan Terminations Under Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 7.2, if this Agreement terminates in the following circumstances:

	 	(a)	 	Within thirty (30) days before or twelve (12) months after a Change of Control,
provided that all distributions are made no later than twelve (12) months following
such termination of the Agreement and further provided that all the Bank’s arrangements
which are substantially similar to the Agreement are terminated so the Executive and
all participants in the similar arrangements are required to receive all amounts of
compensation deferred under the terminated arrangements within twelve (12) months of
the termination of the arrangements;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Upon the Bank’s dissolution or with the approval of a bankruptcy court provided
that the amounts deferred under the Agreement are included in the Executive’s gross
income in the latest of (i) the calendar year in which the Agreement terminates; (ii)
the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture; or (iii) the first calendar year in which the distribution is
administratively practical; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	Upon the Bank’s termination of this and all other arrangements that would be
aggregated with this Agreement pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(c) if
the Executive participated in such arrangements (“Similar Arrangements”), provided that
(i) the termination and liquidation does not occur

 

 

	 	 	 	proximate to a downturn in the
financial health of the Bank, (ii) all termination distributions are made no earlier
than twelve (12) months and no later than twenty-four (24) months following such
termination, and (iii) the Bank does not adopt any new arrangement that would be a
Similar Arrangement for a minimum
of three (3) years following the date the Bank takes all necessary action to
irrevocably terminate and liquidate the Agreement;

the Bank may distribute the entire amount accrued by the Bank with respect to the Bank’s
obligations hereunder, determined as of the date of the termination of the Agreement, to the
Executive in a lump sum subject to the above terms.

Article 9

Miscellaneous

	9.1	 	Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Executive and the Bank and their
beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators and transferees.
	 
	9.2	 	No Guarantee of Employment. This Agreement is not a contract for employment. It
does not give the Executive the right to remain as an employee of the Bank nor interfere with
the Bank’s right to discharge the Executive. It does not require the Executive to remain an
employee nor interfere with the Executive’s right to terminate employment at any time.
	 
	9.3	 	Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred,
assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.
	 
	9.4	 	Tax Withholding and Reporting. The Bank shall withhold any taxes that are required
to be withheld, including but not limited to taxes owed under Code Section 409A from the
benefits provided under this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that the Bank’s sole
liability regarding taxes is to forward any amounts withheld to the appropriate taxing
authorities. The Bank shall satisfy all applicable reporting requirements, including those
under Code Section 409A.
	 
	9.5	 	Applicable Law. This Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be governed by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania except to the extent preempted by the laws of the
United States of America.
	 
	9.6	 	Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and the Beneficiary are general unsecured
creditors of the Bank for the distribution of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits
represent the mere promise by the Bank to distribute such benefits. The rights to benefits
are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Executive’s life or
other informal funding asset is a general asset of the Bank to which the Executive and
Beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.

 

 

	9.7	 	Reorganization. The Bank shall not merge or consolidate into or with another bank,
or reorganize, or sell substantially all of its assets to another bank, firm or person unless
such succeeding or continuing bank, firm or person agrees to assume and discharge the
obligations of the Bank under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of such an event, the term
“Bank” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the successor or survivor entity.
	 
	9.8	 	Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Bank
and the Executive as to the subject matter hereof. No rights are granted to the Executive by
virtue of this Agreement other than those specifically set forth herein.
	 
	9.9	 	Interpretation. Wherever the fulfillment of the intent and purpose of this Agreement
requires and the context will permit, the use of the masculine gender includes the feminine
and use of the singular includes the plural.
	 
	9.10	 	Alternative Action. In the event it shall become impossible for the Bank or the Plan
Administrator to perform any act required by this Agreement due to regulatory or other
constraints, the Bank or Plan Administrator may perform such alternative act as most nearly
carries out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and is in the best interests of the Bank,
provided that such alternative act does not violate Code Section 409A.
	 
	9.11	 	Headings. Article and section headings are for convenient reference only and shall
not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision herein.
	 
	9.12	 	Validity. If any provision of this Agreement shall be illegal or invalid for any
reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this
Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never
been included herein.
	 
	9.13	 	Notice. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Bank or Plan
Administrator under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered or
sent by registered or certified mail to the address below:

	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	The Juniata Valley Bank
 

Attn: Plan Administrator
 

218 Bridge Street
	 	  
	 

	 	Mifflintown, PA 17059
 

	 	 

Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by
mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.

Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Executive under this Agreement
shall be sufficient if in writing and hand-delivered or sent by mail to the last known
address of the Executive.

 

 

	9.14	 	Deduction Limitation on Benefit Payments. If the Bank reasonably anticipates that
the Bank’s deduction with respect to any distribution under this Agreement would be limited or
eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m), then to the extent deemed necessary by the
Bank to ensure that the entire amount of any distribution from this Agreement is deductible,
the Bank may delay payment of any amount that would otherwise be distributed under this
Agreement. The delayed amounts shall be distributed to the Executive (or the Beneficiary in
the event of the Executive’s death) at the earliest date the
Bank reasonably anticipates that the deduction of the payment of the amount will not be
limited or eliminated by application of Code Section 162(m).
	 
	9.15	 	Compliance with Section 409A. This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered
consistent with Code Section 409A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive and a duly authorized representative of the Bank have signed
this Agreement.
