willing to divide the death proceeds of a life insurance policy on the Trustee’s life. The Bank
will pay life insurance premiums from its general assets.

any further benefits if the Trustee, without the prior written consent of the Bank, violates any
one of the following described restrictive covenants.

     4.3.1 Non-compete Provision. The Trustee shall not, for a period of 12 months
following termination of service, directly or indirectly, either as an individual or as a
proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, trustee, employee, agent, consultant or
independent contractor of any individual, partnership, corporation or other entity
(excluding an ownership interest of five percent (5%) or less in the stock of a publicly
traded company):

     (i) become employed by, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the
ownership, management, operation or control of any bank, savings and loan or other
similar financial institution if the Trustee’s responsibilities will include
providing banking or other financial services within the twenty-five (25) miles of
the main office maintained by the Bank as of the date of the termination of the
Trustee’s service;

3

 

     (ii) participate 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 Bank as of the date of
termination of the Trustee’s service;

     (iii) sell, offer to sell, provide banking or other financial services, assist
any other person in selling or providing banking or other financial services, or
solicit or otherwise compete for, either directly or indirectly, any orders,
contracts, or accounts for services of a kind or nature like or substantially
similar to the services performed or products sold by the Bank or any of its
subsidiaries (the preceding hereinafter referred to as “Services”), to or from any
person or entity from whom the Bank or any of its subsidiaries 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 Trustee’s service; or

     (iv) divulge, disclose, or communicate to others in any manner whatsoever, any
non-public confidential information of the Corporation or the Bank or any of its
subsidiaries including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of customers or
prospective customers of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries, as they may have
existed from time to time, work performed or services rendered for any customer, any
method and/or procedures relating to projects or other work developed for the Bank
or any of its subsidiaries, earnings or other information concerning the Corporation
or the Bank or any of its subsidiaries. The restrictions contained in this
subparagraph (iv) apply to all nonpublic confidential information regarding the
Corporation or the Bank or any of its subsidiaries regardless of the source who
provided or compiled such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
the restriction set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to any information that
becomes known to the general public from sources other than the Trustee.

     4.3.2 Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Trustee
of any provision of these restrictions, the Trustee recognizes the substantial and immediate
harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Bank or any of its
subsidiaries, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate
to fully protect the Bank or any of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, in the event of a breach
or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Trustee consents to the Bank’s 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 Bank’s or any of its subsidiaries’ rights hereunder and preventing the Trustee
from further breaching any of his or her obligations set forth herein. The Trustee
expressly waives any requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source,
that the Bank or any of its subsidiaries post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the
above-

4

 

described remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Bank or any
of its subsidiaries from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank or any of its
subsidiaries at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the
recovery of damages from the Trustee. The Trustee expressly acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) the restrictions set forth in Section 4.3.1 are reasonable in terms of scope, duration,
geographic area and otherwise, (ii) the protections afforded the Bank or any of its
subsidiaries in Section 4.3.1 are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest
(iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 4.3.1 will not be materially adverse to the
Trustee’s service with the Bank, and (iv) his or her agreement to observe such restrictions
forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.

     4.3.3 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.

     4.3.4 Change in Control. The non-compete provision detailed in Section 4.4.1 hereof
shall not be enforceable following a Change in Control.

     4.4 Suicide or Misstatement. No benefits shall be payable if the Trustee commits suicide
within two years after the date of this Agreement, or if the insurance company denies coverage for
material misstatements of fact made by the Trustee on any application for life insurance purchased
by the Bank. The Bank shall have no liability to the Trustee for any denial of coverage by the
insurance company.

     4.5 Severability. A determination that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or
unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

Article 5

Assignment

     The Trustee may not assign any or all interests in his or her Policy and in this Agreement to
any person, entity or trust except, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may assign all
interests in his or her Policy and this Agreement to an irrevocable life insurance trust created by
the Trustee. In the event a Trustee shall transfer all of his or her interest in the Policy
pursuant to the foregoing exception, then all of that Trustee’s interest in his or her Policy and
in this Agreement shall be vested in his or her transferee, subject to such transferee executing
agreements binding them to the provisions of this Agreement, who shall be substituted as a party
hereunder, and that Trustee shall have no further interest in his or her Policy or in this
Agreement.

5

 

Article 6

Insurer

     The Insurer shall be bound only by the terms of the Policy. Any payments the Insurer makes or
actions it takes in accordance with the Policy shall fully discharge it from all claims, suits and
demands of all entities or persons. The Insurer shall not be bound by or be deemed to have notice
of the provisions of this Agreement, except to the extent of any endorsement filed with the
Insurer. The Insurer shall have the right to rely on the Bank’s representations with regard to any
definitions, interpretations, or Policy interests as specified under this Agreement.

beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators and transferees, and any Policy beneficiary.

     9.2 No Guarantee of Service. This Agreement is not a service policy or contract. It does not
give the Trustee the right to remain a trustee of the Bank, nor does it interfere with the Bank’s

creditors of the Bank for the payment of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the
mere promise by the Bank to pay such benefits. Except as otherwise provided herein, 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 Trustee’s life

     4. Funding.

          a. The Bank shall establish an account for each Participant (hereinafter the “Deferred
Compensation Account”) and shall deposit in said account such amounts as the Bank in its sole
discretion shall from time to time determine to be appropriate, including amounts that

2

 

compensate Participants for reduced allocations to their accounts within the Bank’s 401(k)
Profit Sharing Plan which result from the Participant’s election to defer receipt of compensation
pursuant to this Plan. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to deny the Bank the discretion
to determine for each separate year the amount, if any, to be credited to each Participant’s
account, nor shall the Plan be construed to require the Bank to equalize contributions among
Participants.

          b. Each Participant may direct the Trustee of the Deferred Compensation Trust established by
the Bank, in writing on a form provided to him by the Trustee, to invest the amounts credited to
his Deferred Compensation Account as of such date in the following:

          (i) THE EMPLOYER STOCK ACCOUNT, which shall be invested by the Trustee in the
publicly-traded common stock of Laurel Capital Group, Inc.

          (ii) THE SCHWAB 1000 FUND, which shall be invested by the Trustee in the Schwab 1000
Fund which is designed to match the performance of the 1,000 largest public companies in the
United States, measured by market capitalization.

          (iii) THE SCHWAB SHORT/INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT BOND FUND, which shall be invested by
the Trustee in the Schwab Short/Intermediate Government Bond Fund which is designed to
invest in a short to intermediate-term portfolio of government securities.

          (iv) THE SCHWAB MONEY MARKET FUND, which shall be invested by the Trustee in the Schwab
Money Market Fund which invests in money market instruments that mature in 12 months or less
and which are believed to present minimal credit risk.

     The Trustee shall carry out each Participant’s directions as soon as practicable after
receiving such directions.

     A Participant may, subject to the provisions of the applicable law and regulations, direct
that shares of common stock held in his Employer Stock Account be sold and the proceeds be invested
in any of the other funds by submitting new directions to the Trustee no later than March 1, June
1, September 1 or December 1, which shall be implemented on the last business day of the March,
June, September or December, respectively, which immediately follows such election. If a
distribution of a Participant’s Contingent Future Benefit is made pursuant to Section 9 of this
Plan, the shares of common stock held in his Employer Stock Account will be distributed in the form
of common stock of the Company.

     The Trustee shall invest in the Schwab Money Market Fund that portion of each Participant’s
Deferred Compensation Account and contributions over which a Participant has the right to direct
investment but over which the Participant has not directed investment in accordance with this
Section. Any cash dividends paid with respect to shares of common stock of the Company which are
held in a Participant’s account shall be invested by the Trustee in the Schwab Money Market Fund.
Any fees or other expenses incurred or assessed by the Trustee in making directed investments under
this Section, in excess of the normal fees or expenses, shall

3

 

be charged to the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account for which such investment is
made.

          c. All amounts deposited in the Deferred Compensation Account together with interest accrued
or asset appreciation shall be the property of the Bank and shall be considered part of the general
assets of the Bank exclusively, and no person entitled to any payment hereunder shall have any
claim, right, security or other interest in the Deferred Compensation Account or in any fund,
trust, account, insurance contract or asset of the Bank.

     5. Termination of Employment. Except as provided in Section 8 below, a termination shall be
treated as a resignation for the purposes of this Plan and the benefits payable hereunder. However,
neither the Plan nor Plan Agreement, either singly or collectively, obligates the Bank to continue
the employment of a Participant as an executive or in any other capacity or limits the right of the
Bank or the Company at any time and for any reason to terminate a Participant’s employment. A
Participant’s Separation from Service from the Bank or the Company for any reason shall immediately
terminate the Participant’s participation in the Plan and the Plan Agreement and shall terminate
all further obligations of either party to the other, other than the Bank’s and the Company’s
obligation to distribute the Contingent Future Benefits, if any, which have been credited to a
Participant’s account pursuant to Section 4. In no event shall the Plan or the Plan Agreement,
either singly or collectively, by their terms or implications constitute an employment contract of
any nature whatsoever between the Bank and/or the Company and a Participant.

     6. Other Benefits and Agreements. The benefits provided for a Participant and/or his
Beneficiaries under the Plan are in addition to any other benefits available to such Participant
under any other plan or program for employees of the Bank or any employer, and the Plan shall
supplement and shall not supersede, modify or amend any other such plan or program except as may
otherwise be expressly provided. Benefits under the Plan shall not be considered compensation for
the purpose of computing contributions or benefits under any plan maintained by the Bank or the
Company which is qualified as tax exempt under the Code.

     7. Restrictions on Alienation of Benefits. No right or benefit under the Plan or a Plan
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or
charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber or charge the same
shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to the
debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of the person entitled to such benefit.

     8. Termination of Benefits. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, no
payment of any then unpaid retirement or death benefit herein provided shall be made, and all
rights under the Plan and the Plan Agreement of the Participant, his surviving Beneficiary,
executors or administrators, or any other person, to receive benefits shall be forfeited if it is
determined that the Participant has engaged in any substantial misconduct, or if the Participant
has been convicted of a felony, which misconduct or conviction has a significant adverse effect on
the Company or the Bank.

     9. Amendments and Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary,
this Plan may be amended or terminated only by a written agreement signed by the Bank and each
affected Employee, except as set forth below. This Plan may be terminated

4

 

within 30 days preceding a Change in Control if (1) all substantially similar arrangements
sponsored by the Bank and the Company are terminated, and (2) the Participants and all participants
under the substantially similar arrangements receive all of their benefits under the terminated
arrangements within 12 months of the date of termination of the arrangements. All distributions of
a Participant’s Contingent Future Benefit pursuant to a Change in Control shall be made by lump sum
no later than the date the Change in Control is completed. In addition, notwithstanding anything
in this Plan to the contrary, the Bank may amend in good faith any terms of this Plan, including
retroactively, in order to comply with Section 409A of the Code. In no event shall the Corporation
or the Bank be liable for any taxes or interest penalties incurred by a Participant under Section
409A of the Code.

     10. Miscellaneous.

          a. The Plan shall be binding upon the Company and the Bank and their successors and assigns,
and upon a Participant, his Beneficiaries, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators.

          b. The Plan and Plan Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as in effect at the time of their adoption and execution,
respectively.

          c. The Bank and the Company shall have the full power and authority to interpret, construe and
administer this Agreement. The Bank’s and the Company’s interpretations and construction thereof,
and actions thereunder, including the making of any contributions to and the valuation of the
Deferred Compensation Account, or the amount and recipient of the payments to be made therefrom,
shall be binding and conclusive on all persons for all purposes.

          d. If the Bank or the Company shall find that any person to whom any payment is payable under
this Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, any
payment due (unless a prior claim therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian,
committee or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, or a brother
or sister, or to any person deemed by the Bank and the Company to have incurred expense for such
person who is otherwise entitled to have payment, in such manner and proportions as the Bank and
the Company may determine. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the
Bank and the Company under this Agreement.
