     WHEREAS, effective May 1, 2005, the Board of Directors has appointed the Executive as the

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Savings Bank and Executive desire to amend the

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein set forth, the Savings Bank
and Executive do hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

1. Section 2(a) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

     The Savings Bank hereby employs the Executive as President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Savings Bank and Executive hereby accepts said employment and agrees to render such services to the
Savings Bank on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The term of employment under
this Agreement shall be for three years, commencing on the date of this Agreement and, subject to
the requirements of the succeeding sentence, shall be deemed automatically, without further action,
to extend for an additional year on each annual anniversary of the date of this Agreement. Prior
to the anniversary of the date of this Agreement and each annual anniversary thereafter, the Board
of Directors of the Savings Bank shall consider and review (with appropriate corporate
documentation thereof, and after taking into account all relevant factors, including the
Executive’s performance hereunder) extension of the term under this Agreement, and the term shall
continue to extend in the manner set forth above unless either the Board of Directors does not
approve such extension and provides written notice to the Executive of such event or the Executive
gives written notice to the Savings Bank of the Executive’s election not to extend the term, in
each case with such written notice to be given not less than thirty (30) days prior to any such
anniversary date. References herein to the term of this Agreement shall refer both to the initial

re-appoint the Executive to the offices of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation
and the Savings Bank or a material adverse change made by the Employers in the Executive’s
functions, duties or responsibilities as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation
and the Savings Bank without the Executive’s express written consent, the Executive shall be
entitled to terminate his employment hereunder and shall be entitled to the payments and benefits
provided for in Section 5(c)(A) and (B); however, such termination shall not otherwise constitute a
material breach of this Agreement by the Savings Bank.

4. The reference in Section 10 of the Agreement to “President’ with respect to giving notice to the
Savings Bank is amended to refer to “Chairman of the Board.”

5. All other sections and provisions in the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and
are incorporated by reference into this Amendment No. 1.

     This Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement shall be deemed effective as of May 1, 2005.

3

 

     (h) Proration. The Consultant’s compensation, benefits and expenses shall be paid by
the Company and the Bank in the same proportion as the time and services actually expended by the
Consultant on behalf of the Company and the Bank.

     5. Termination of Consulting Services.

     (a) Death or Disability. The Consultant’s services shall terminate automatically upon
the Consultant’s death during the Consulting Period. If the Company and/or the Bank determines in
good faith that the Disability of the Consultant has occurred during the Consulting Period
(pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to the Consultant written
notice in accordance with Section 15 of this Agreement of its intention to terminate the
Consultant’s services. In such event, the Consultant’s services with the Company and the Bank
shall terminate effective on the 60th day after receipt of such notice by the Consultant (the
“Disability Effective Date”), provided that, within the 60 days after such receipt, the Consultant
shall not have returned to performance of the Consultant’s duties. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Disability” shall mean the Consultant is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by
reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result
in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, as
determined by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and reasonably acceptable to the
Consultant or the Consultant’s legal representative.

     (b) Cause. The Company and the Bank may terminate the Consultant’s services during
the Consulting Period for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:

     (i) the continued failure of the Consultant to perform substantially the Consultant’s
duties with the Company or one of its affiliates (other than any such failure resulting from
incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after a written demand for substantial
performance is delivered to the Consultant by the Board of Directors of the Company or the
Bank which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board of Directors believes that
the Consultant has not substantially performed the Consultant’s duties and after the
Consultant has been given a 15 day period to cure such failure; or

     (ii) the willful engaging by the Consultant in illegal conduct or gross misconduct
which violates any code of conduct of the Company and/or the Bank or which is otherwise
materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or the Bank; or

     (iii) conviction of a felony or a guilty or nolo contendere plea by the Consultant with
respect thereto.

For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the Consultant, shall be
considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Consultant in bad faith or
without reasonable belief that the Consultant’s action or omission was in the best interests of the
Company and/or the Bank. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a
resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors or upon the instructions of the President or a
senior officer of the Company and/or the Bank or based upon the advice of counsel for the

4

 

Company and/or the Bank shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the
Consultant in good faith and in the best interests of the Company and the Bank. The cessation of
the services of the Consultant for conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above shall not be
deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Consultant a copy of
a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire membership of the
Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank at a meeting of the Board of Directors called and
held for such purpose (after not less than ten days’ advance notice is provided to the Consultant
and the Consultant is given an opportunity, together with counsel chosen by the Consultant, to be
heard before the Board of Directors), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the
Consultant is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, and specifying the
particulars thereof in detail. The Company and/or the Bank may suspend the Consultant’s authority
(with a continuation of the Monthly Fee during such period of suspension) after the provision of a
notice of intention to terminate the Consultant’s services for conduct described in subparagraph
(i) or (ii) above and prior to the time the Consultant is given an opportunity to meet with the
Board of Directors, and any such suspension shall not constitute “Good Reason” as defined in
Section 5(c) below.

     (c) Good Reason. The Consultant’s services may be terminated by the Consultant for
Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean in the absence of a written
consent of the Consultant:

     (i) any failure by the Company and/or the Bank to comply with any of the provisions of
this Agreement, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring
in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company and/or the Bank within 25 days after
receipt of written notice thereof given by the Consultant; or

     (ii) any purported termination by the Company and/or the Bank of the Consultant’s
services otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

     (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company and/or the Bank for Cause,
or by the Consultant for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other
party hereto given in accordance with Section 15 of this Agreement. For purposes of this
Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent applicable, sets forth in
reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the
Consultant’s services under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as
defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the termination date
(which date shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the
Consultant or the Company and/or the Bank to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or
circumstance which contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of
the Consultant or the Company and/or the Bank, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Consultant
or the Company and/or the Bank, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing
the Consultant’s or the Company’s or the Bank’s rights hereunder.

5

 

     (e) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (i) if the Consultant’s
services are terminated by the Company and/or the Bank for Cause, or by the Consultant for Good
Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or any later date specified therein within
30 days of such notice, as the case may be, (ii) if the Consultant’s services are terminated by the
Company and/or the Bank other than for Cause or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the
date on which the Company and/or the Bank notifies the Consultant of such termination and (iii) if
the Consultant’s services are terminated by reason of death or Disability, the Date of Termination
shall be the date of death of the Consultant or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.

     6. Obligations of the Company and the Bank upon Termination of Consulting Services.

     (a) Good Reason; Other Than for Cause, Death or Disability. If, during the Consulting
Period, the Company and/or the Bank shall terminate the Consultant’s services other than for Cause,
Death or Disability or the Consultant shall terminate his services by the Company and the Bank for
Good Reason, the Company and/or the Bank shall pay to the Consultant in a lump sum in cash within
30 days after the Date of Termination the sum of (1) any accrued but unpaid Monthly Fee of the
Consultant through the Date of Termination (the “Accrued Obligations”), (2) an amount equal to the
present value of the Monthly Fees that would have been paid through and including April 30, 2010
(the “Remaining Monthly Fees”), and (3) the present value of the Retirement Benefits (as defined in
Section 9 hereof), with the present values calculated as set forth below. In addition, the Company
and the Bank shall provide the Consultant and his spouse with the medial and other benefits set
forth in Section 4(b) hereof through April 30, 2010 (the “Medical Benefits”) and shall transfer
title to the automobile to the Consultant as provided in Section 4(f) hereof.

     (b) Death. If the Consultant’s services are terminated by reason of the Consultant’s
death during the Consulting Period, the Company and/or the Bank shall pay to the Consultant’s
estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of
Termination the sum of (1) any Accrued Obligations, (2) the present value of the Remaining Monthly
Fees, and (3) the present value of the Retirement Benefits (as defined in Section 9 hereof), with
the present values calculated as set forth below. In addition, the Company and the Bank shall
provide the Consultant and his spouse with the Medical Benefits and shall transfer title to the
automobile to the Consultant as provided in Section 4(f) hereof.

     (c) Disability. If the Consultant’s services are terminated by reason of the
Consultant’s Disability during the Consulting Period, the Company and/or the Bank shall pay to the
Consultant in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination the sum of (1) any
Accrued Obligations, and (2) the present value of the Retirement Benefits (as defined in Section 9
hereof), with the present value calculated as set forth below, provided, however, that if the
Consultant’s services are terminated by reason of Disability prior to May 1, 2008, then the
Retirement Benefits shall be calculated as if the annual benefit was paid for 12 years rather than
10 years. In addition, the Company and the Bank shall provide the Consultant and his spouse

6

 

with the Medical Benefits and shall transfer title to the automobile to the Consultant as provided
in Section 4(f) hereof.

     (d) Cause; Other than for Good Reason. If the Consultant’s services shall be
terminated for Cause or the Consultant terminates his services without Good Reason during the
Consulting Period, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Consultant
other than for payment of the Accrued Obligations. The Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the
Consultant in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.

     (e) Calculation of Present Values. In calculating the present value of any benefits
hereunder that would otherwise be paid in the future, the future benefits shall be discounted to
present value using a discount rate equal to 120% of the applicable short-term, mid-term or
long-term federal rate, as published by the Internal Revenue Service for the month in which the
Date of Termination occurs.

     7. Full Settlement. Except as provided in Section 8(d), the obligations of the
Company and/or the Bank to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to
perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other claim, right or action which the Company and/or the Bank may have against the
Consultant or others. In no event shall the Consultant be obligated to seek other services or take
any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Consultant under any of the
provisions of this Agreement, and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Consultant
obtains other services.

     8. Non-Compete; Confidentiality.

     (a) The Consultant agrees that during the Consulting Period the Consultant will not, directly
or indirectly, (i) become a director, officer, employee, principal, agent, consultant or
independent contractor of any insured depository institution, trust company or parent holding
company of any such institution or company which has an office in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
(a “Competing Business”), provided, however, that this provision shall not prohibit the Consultant
from owning bonds, non-voting preferred stock or up to five percent (5%) of the outstanding common
stock of any such entity if such common stock is publicly traded, (ii) solicit or induce, or cause
others to solicit or induce, any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to leave the
services of such entities or (iii) solicit (whether by mail, telephone, personal meeting or any
other means) any customer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to transact business with any
other entity, whether or not a Competing Business, or to reduce or refrain from doing any business
with the Company or its subsidiaries, or interfere with or damage (or attempt to interfere with or
damage) any relationship between the Company or its subsidiaries and any such customers.

     (b) Except as required by law or regulation (including without limitation in connection with
any judicial or administrative process or proceeding), the Consultant shall keep secret and
confidential and shall not disclose to any third party (other than the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or any persons employed or engaged by such entities) in any fashion or for any

7

 

purpose whatsoever any information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries which is not
available to the general public to which the Consultant had access at any time during the course of
the Consultant’s service to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including, without limitation,
any such information relating to: business or operations; plans, strategies, prospects or
objectives; products, technology, processes or specifications; research and development operations
or plans; customers and customer lists; distribution, sales, service, support and marketing
practices and operations; financial condition, results of operations and prospects; operational
strengths and weaknesses; and personnel and compensation policies and procedures.

     (c) The Consultant agrees that damages at law will be an insufficient remedy to the Company
and the Bank in the event that the Consultant violates any of the provisions of paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section 8, and that the Company and/or the Bank may apply for and, upon the requisite
showing, have injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain the breach or
threatened or attempted breach of or otherwise to specifically enforce any of the covenants
contained in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8. The Consultant hereby consents to any
injunction (temporary or otherwise) which may be issued against the Consultant and to any other
court order which may be issued against the Consultant from violating, or directing the Consultant
to comply with, any of the covenants in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8. The Consultant
also agrees that such remedies shall be in addition to any and all remedies, including damages,
available to the Company and/or the Bank against the Consultant for such breaches or threatened or
attempted breaches.

     (d) In addition to the rights of the Company and the Bank set forth in paragraph (c) of this
Section 8, in the event that the Consultant shall violate the terms and conditions of paragraphs
(a) or (b) of this Section 8, the Company and its subsidiaries may terminate any payments or
benefits of any type and regardless of source payable by the Company or its subsidiaries, if
applicable, to the Consultant, other than with respect to payments or benefits to the Consultant
under plans or arrangements that are covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended.

     9. Retirement Benefits.

     (a) Retirement Benefits. If the Consultant satisfies all of his obligations under
Sections 3 and 8 of this Agreement, then following the end of the Consulting Period the Company
and/or the Bank shall pay to the Consultant an annual supplemental retirement benefit of
$135,175.00 per year, payable in equal monthly installments on the first business day of each
month, for ten (10) years (i.e., ten years certain and continuous) (the “Retirement Benefits”).
The Retirement Benefits are subject to earlier payment as set forth in Section 6 hereof.

     (b) Death Following the End of the Consulting Period. If the Consultant dies after
the end of the Consulting Period but before all of the Retirement Benefits have been paid, then the
Company and/or the Bank shall pay to the Consultant’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a
lump sum in cash within 30 days of the date the Company and/or the Bank receive notice of the
Consultant’s death, the present value of the remaining unpaid Retirement Benefits. The present

8

 

value shall be calculated in accordance with Section 6(e) hereof, with the date of death
substituted for the Date of Termination.

     (c) Supplemental Insurance. During the ten years following the end of the Consulting
Period, the Company and/or the Bank shall provide medical insurance which supplements Medicare
coverage for the benefit of the Consultant and his spouse at no cost to the Consultant and his
spouse.

     10. Designation of Beneficiary. The Consultant may from time to time, by providing a
written notification to the Company and the Bank, designate any person or persons (who may be
designated concurrently, contingently or successively), his estate or any trust or trusts created
by him to receive benefits which are payable under this Agreement. Each beneficiary designation
shall revoke all prior designations and will be effective only when filed in writing with the
Compensation Committees of the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank (the “Committee”).
If the Consultant fails to designate a beneficiary or if a beneficiary dies before the date of the
Consultant’s death and no contingent beneficiary has been designated, then the benefits which are
payable as aforesaid shall be paid to his estate. If benefits commence to be paid to a beneficiary
and such beneficiary dies before all benefits to which such beneficiary is entitled have been paid,
the remaining benefits shall be paid to the successive beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by
the Consultant, if any, and if none to the estate of such beneficiary.

     11. Claims Procedure. The Consultant or his designated beneficiary or beneficiaries
may make a claim for benefits under this Agreement by filing a written request with the Committee.
If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the Committee shall furnish the claimant with written
notice setting forth in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant;

     (a) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;

     (b) specific reference to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which the denial
is based;

     (c) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant
to perfect his claim and an explanation why such material or information is necessary; and

     (d) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to submit
his claim for review.

     Such notice shall be furnished to the claimant within ninety (90) days after the receipt of
his claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing his claim. If
an extension of time for processing is required, the Committee shall, prior to the termination of
the initial ninety (90) day period, furnish the claimant with written notice indicating the special
circumstances requiring an extension and the date by which the Committee expects to render its
decision. In no event shall an extension exceed a period of ninety (90) days from the end of the
initial ninety (90) day period.

9

 

     A claimant may request the Committee to review a denied claim. Such request shall be in
writing and must be delivered to the Committee within sixty (60) days after receipt by the claimant
of written notification of denial of claim. A claimant or his duly authorized representative may:

     (a) review pertinent documents, and

     (b) submit issues and comments in writing.

     The Committee shall notify the claimant of its decision on review not later than sixty (60)
days after receipt of a request for review, unless special circumstances require an extension of
time for processing, in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later
than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a request for review. If an extension of time
for review is required because of special circumstances, written notice of the extension must be
furnished to the claimant prior to the commencement of the extension. The Committee’s decision on
the review shall be in writing and shall include specific reasons for the decision, as well as
specific references to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement on which the decision is based.

     12. Resolution of Disputes. With the exception of proceedings for equitable relief
brought pursuant to Section 8(c) of this Agreement, any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with this Agreement may, at the option of any party hereto, be settled exclusively by
arbitration in Media, Pennsylvania in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect and at the expense of the Company and/or the Bank. Judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court having jurisdiction. If a claim for any payments or
benefits under this Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement is disputed by the Company
and/or the Bank or the Consultant, the Consultant shall, to the extent and at such time or times as
is not prohibited by applicable law, regulation, regulatory bulletin and/or any other regulatory
requirements, as the same exists or may be hereafter promulgated or amended, if the Consultant is
successful in his claim, be reimbursed for all reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred by
the Consultant in pursuing such claim.

     13. Representations and Warranties. Each party hereto represents and warrants to each
other that they have carefully read this Agreement and consulted with respect thereto with their
respective counsel and that each of them fully understands the content of this Agreement and its
legal effect. Each party hereto also represents and warrants that this Agreement is a legal, valid
and binding obligation of such party which is enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

     14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Consultant and his assigns and upon the Company and the Bank, including any
successor to the Company or the Bank by merger or consolidation or any other change in form or any
other person or firm or corporation to which all or substantially all of the assets and business of
the Company or the Bank may be sold or otherwise transferred. Any successor to the

10

 

Company or the Bank by merger, consolidation or other change in form shall expressly in writing
assume all obligations of the Company and the Bank hereunder as fully as if it had been originally
made a party hereto, and this Agreement shall continue in effect following any change in control of
the Company and/or the Bank. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the
written consent of the other party.

     15. Notices. Any communication to a party required or permitted under this Agreement,
including any notice, direction, designation, consent, instruction, objection or waiver, shall be
in writing and shall be deemed to have been given at such time as it is delivered personally, or
five days after mailing if mailed, postage prepaid, by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, addressed to such party at the address listed below or at such other address as one such
party may by written notice specify to the other party or parties, as applicable:

Attention: President

     16. Withholding. The Company and/or the Bank may withhold from any amounts payable
under this Agreement such federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be
withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

     17. Unsecured Promise. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or require
the Company or the Bank to create a trust of any kind to fund the benefits payable hereunder. Any
insurance policy or other asset acquired or held by, or on behalf of, the Company and/or the Bank
or funds allocated by the Company and/or the Bank in connection with the liabilities assumed by the
Company and/or the Bank pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be held under any trust
for the benefit of the Consultant or his beneficiaries or to be a security for the performance of
the obligations of the Company and/or the Bank pursuant hereto but shall be and remain a general
asset of the Company and/or the Bank. To the extent that the Consultant or any other person
acquires a right to receive payments from the Company and/or the Bank hereunder, such right shall
be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company and/or the Bank.

11

 

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

     19. Entire Agreement; Severability.

     (a) This Agreement incorporates the entire understanding between the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof, recites the sole consideration for the promises exchanged and supersedes any
prior agreements between the Company and the Consultant or between the Bank and the Consultant with
respect to the subject matter hereof, including but not limited to the Company Employment
Agreement, the Bank Employment Agreement and the SERP. In reaching this Agreement, no party has
relied upon any representation or promise except those set forth herein.

     (b) Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or
unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of
this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of
this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be
unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. In all
such cases, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to substitute a valid, legal and
enforceable provision which, insofar as practicable, implements the original purposes and intents
of this.

     20. Amendment; Waiver.

     (a) This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified except by an instrument in
writing signed by each party hereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company and the Bank may amend in good faith any terms of this
Agreement, including retroactively, in order to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended.

     (b) 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. A waiver of any provision
of this Agreement must be made in writing, designated as a waiver and signed by the party against
whom its enforcement is sought. Any waiver or relinquishment of any right or power hereunder at
any one or more times shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power at any
other time or times.

12

 

     21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

     22. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania applicable to agreements made and
entirely to be performed within such jurisdiction.

     23. Headings. The headings of sections in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not intended to qualify the meaning of any section. Any reference to a
section number shall refer to a section of this Agreement, unless otherwise stated.

     24. Release of the Company and Related Parties.

     (a) In consideration of the payments and benefits to be provided to the Consultant pursuant to
this Agreement, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged hereby, the Consultant, with the intention
of binding himself and his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, does hereby release,
remise, acquit and forever discharge the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the
“Company Affiliated Group”), their present and former officers, directors, executives,
agents, attorneys and employees, and the successors, predecessors and assigns of each of the
foregoing (collectively, the “Company Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims,
actions, causes of action, complaints, charges, demands, rights, damages, debts, sums of money,
accounts, financial obligations, suits, expenses, attorneys’ fees and liabilities of whatever kind
or nature in law, equity or otherwise, whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or
otherwise and whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which the Consultant,
individually or as a member of a class, now has, owns or holds, or has at any time heretofore had,
owned or held, against any Company Released Party in any capacity, including, without limitation,
any and all claims (i) arising out of or in any way connected with the Consultant’s service to any
member of the Company Affiliated Group (or the predecessors thereof) in any capacity, or the
termination of such service in any such capacity, (ii) for severance or vacation benefits, unpaid
wages, salary or incentive payments, other than base salary accrued but unpaid as of the Effective
Date, (iii) for breach of contract, wrongful discharge, impairment of economic opportunity,
defamation, intentional infliction of emotional harm or other tort, (iv) for any violation of
applicable state and local labor and employment laws (including, without limitation, all laws
concerning unlawful and unfair labor and employment practices), (v) for employment discrimination
under any applicable federal, state or local statute, provision, order or regulation, and
including, without limitation, any claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
(“Title VII”), the Civil Rights Act of 1988, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Americans
with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended (“ERISA”), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) and any
similar or analogous state statute, and (vi) under the Company Employment Agreement, the Bank
Employment and the SERP, excepting only:

13

 

     (A) the rights of the Consultant (i) relating to the vested stock options set forth in
Section 4(c) hereof (collectively, the “Equity Arrangements”) and (ii) as a
stockholder of the Company;

     (B) the right of the Consultant to receive COBRA continuation coverage in accordance
with applicable law;

     (C) rights to indemnification the Consultant may have under (i) applicable corporate
law, (ii) the articles of incorporation, charter or bylaws of any Company Released Party,
(iii) any other agreement between the Consultant and a Company Released Party, or (iv) as an
insured under any director’s and officer’s liability insurance policy now or previously in
force;

     (D) claims for vested benefits under any health, disability, retirement, life insurance
or other similar “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) of
the Company Affiliated Group existing as of the Effective Date (the “Company Benefit
Plans”); and

     (E) the rights of the Consultant under this Agreement.

     (b) The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the release of claims set forth in this
Section 24 is not to be construed in any way as an admission of any liability whatsoever by any
Company Released Party, with any such liability being expressly denied.

     (c) The release of claims set forth in this Section 24 applies to any relief no matter how
called, including, without limitation, wages, back pay, front pay, compensatory damages, liquidated
damages, punitive damages, damages for pain or suffering, costs, and attorney’s fees and expenses.

     (d) The Consultant specifically acknowledges that his acceptance of the terms of the release
of claims set forth in this Section 24 is, among other things, a specific waiver of his rights,
claims and causes of action under Title VII, ADEA, ADA and any state or local law or regulation in
respect of discrimination of any kind.

     (e) The Consultant shall have a period of 21 days to consider whether to execute this
Agreement. To the extent the Consultant has executed this Agreement within less than twenty-one
(21) days after its delivery to him, the Consultant hereby acknowledges that his decision to
execute this Agreement prior to the expiration of such twenty-one (21) day period was entirely
voluntary. If the Consultant accepts the terms hereof and executes this Agreement, he may
thereafter, for a period of 7 days following (and not including) the date of execution, revoke this
Agreement. If no such revocation occurs, this Agreement shall become irrevocable in its entirety,
and binding and enforceable against the Consultant, on the day next following the day on which the
foregoing seven-day period has elapsed. Any revocation of this Agreement shall be deemed for all
purposes a revocation of this Agreement in its entirety.

14

 

     (f) The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that he has not, with respect to any transaction or
state of facts existing prior to the date hereof, filed any complaints, charges or lawsuits against
any Company Released Party with any governmental agency, court or tribunal.

     (g) In addition to any other remedy available to the Company and the Bank hereunder, in the
event that, as a result of a challenge brought by a Consultant Released Party (as defined below),
the release of claims set forth in Section 24 becomes null and void or is otherwise determined not
to be enforceable, then the obligation of the Company and/or the Bank to make any additional
payments or to provide any additional benefits this Agreement shall immediately cease to be of any
force and effect, and the Consultant shall promptly return to the Company and the Bank any payments
or benefits the provision of which by the Company and the Bank was conditioned on the
enforceability of this Agreement.

     (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in consideration of
any payments to be provided by the Company and/or the Bank to the Consultant under Section 6 of
this Agreement, the Consultant (or, if applicable, his legal representatives) upon termination of
the Consultant’s services by the Company and/or the Bank shall execute a general release of claims
in favor of the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and personnel in a form similar to that set
forth in this Section 24 and which is reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Bank. The
Consultant (or his legal representatives) shall not be eligible for any payments under Section 6 of
this Agreement until the Consultant (or his legal representatives) has executed such a general
release.

     25. Release of Claims by the Company and the Bank.

     (a) The Company and the Bank, with the intention of binding themselves and their subsidiaries,
affiliates, predecessors and successors and their directors and officers (collectively, the
“Releasing Entities”), do hereby release, remise, acquit and forever discharge the Consultant and
his heirs, estate, executors, administrators and assigns (collectively, the “Consultant
Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, complaints,
charges, demands, rights, damages, debts, sums of money, accounts, financial obligations, suits,
expenses, attorneys’ fees and liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law, equity or otherwise,
whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or otherwise and whether now known or unknown,
suspected or unsuspected, which the Company, the Bank and their subsidiaries, affiliates,
predecessors and successors, individually or as a member of a class, now have, own or hold, or have
at any time heretofore had, owned or held, against any Consultant Released Party, excepting only:

(A) the rights of the Releasing Entities under this Agreement, the Equity Arrangements and
the Company Benefit Plans; and

(B) the rights of the Releasing Entities arising by reason of the Consultant having
committed a crime or an act or omission to act which constitutes fraud, willful misconduct
or gross negligence.

15

 

     (b) The Releasing Entities acknowledge and agree that the release of claims set forth in this
Section 25 is not to be construed in any way as an admission of any liability whatsoever by any
Consultant Released Party, with any such liability being expressly denied.

     (c) The release of claims set forth in this Section 25 applies to any relief no matter how
called, including, without limitation, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive damages,
damages for pain or suffering, costs, and attorney’s fees and expenses.

     (d) Nothing herein shall be deemed, nor does anything contained herein purport, to be a waiver
of any right or claim or cause of action which by law the Releasing Entities are not permitted to
waive.

     (e) The Company and the Bank acknowledge and agree that they have not, with respect to any
transaction or state of facts existing prior to the date hereof, filed any complaints, charges or
lawsuits against any Consultant Released Party with any governmental agency, court or tribunal.

     26. Regulatory Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, any payments to the Consultant by the Company and/or the Bank, whether pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 1828(k), and the regulations promulgated
thereunder in 12 C.F.R. Part 359.
