     2. Plan Participation.

          (a) To be eligible for an award under this Plan, a Participant must be
in the active full-time  service of NPB or an Affiliate at the close of the Plan
Year.

          (b) Effective  January 1, 1985, prior to January 31 of each Plan Year,
the  Chairman  and CEO shall  recommend  to the  Committee,  in  writing,  those
employees who are eligible to  participate  in the Plan for such Plan Year.  The
Committee  shall  meet as soon  as  practicable  thereafter  and  act  upon  the
recommendations  of the  Chairman  and C.E.O.  Those  employees  approved by the
Committee shall be entitled to participate in the Plan for such Plan Year.

          (c) At the  Committee's  discretion,  the  Committee  may act upon the
recommendation  of the Chairman and C.E.O.  with respect to  participation of an
employee whose employment with NPB or an Affiliate commences after January 1 but
prior to July 1 of a Plan Year. Upon approval by the Committee, such Participant
may participate in the Plan based on his or her earnings for such Plan Year.

          (d) Each year, the Committee shall classify the Participants into Type
A, Type B or Type C, as specified on Schedule A attached to this plan  document,
and shall specify different award formulae for each category. The Committee also
shall  specify the method by which the amount to be allocated for the benefit of
each Participant from the Fund shall be determined.  Participants, as classified
into Type A, Type B or Type C, each year will be listed on  Schedule  A attached
to this plan document. This schedule will be revised each year, as appropriate.

          (e) At the  Committee's  discretion,  the  Committee  may act upon the
recommendation  of the Chairman and C.E.O.  with respect to  participation  by a
Participant  whose  classification  changes among Type A, Type B or Type C after
January 1 but prior to July 1 of a Plan Year.  Upon  approval by the  Committee,
such Participant may participate in the Plan in the new classification  based on
his or her earnings for such Plan Year.

     3. Performance Goals.

          (a)  Effective  January 1,  1985,  performance  goals and  appropriate
financial  thresholds shall be established each Plan Year by the Committee prior
to January 31 of that Plan  Year.  The  established  goals  shall  relate to the
financial performance of NPB or an Affiliate or unit thereof.

          (b) Each  year,  the  performance  goals for the year will be shown on
Schedule B attached to this plan  document.  This schedule shall be revised each
year, as appropriate.

                                       3
<PAGE>
          (c) An award to a Participant may be conditioned on the performance of
such Participant, as determined by the Committee.

     4. Calculation of Awards.

          If both the  internal  and  external  performance  goals  set forth in
Schedule B are met, the Fund shall be distributed among Participants as follows:

          (a) 50% of the Fund shall be allocated to the Type A Participants  and
shall be divided equally  between the Chairman and C.E.O.  and President of NPB;
provided,  however,  that the amount  distributed  to any  individual  shall not
exceed 50% of such  individual's  base  salary.  To the  extent  that any amount
allocated to the Type A Participants  is not  distributed  to them,  such amount
shall be added to the amount to be allocated to and divided among the Type B and
Type C Participants as provided in subparagraph (2) below.

          (b) 50% of the Fund shall be allocated to and divided among the Type B
and Type C Participants;  provided,  however,  that no Type B Participant  shall
receive an award in excess of 35% of base salary and no Type C Participant shall
receive an award in excess of 25% of base salary.

     5. Distribution of Awards.

          (a)  (i)  The  Committee  shall  cause  an  aggregate  account  to  be
established  on  the  Employer's  books  for  all  of  the  Type  A and  Type  B
Participants  (the "Mandatory  Deferral  Account") and shall credit annually the
Mandatory Deferral Account with an amount equal to the Mandatory Deferral of all
Type A and  Type  B  Participants.  The  Mandatory  Deferral  Account  shall  be
credited,  as of the last day of each calendar quarter, with interest calculated
at the rate paid on the Investors  Trust  Company Money Market  account for such
quarter.

               (ii)  The  human  resources  department  of  the  Employer  shall
maintain  individual  accounts which shall reflect the share of each Participant
in the Mandatory Deferral Account (each referred to as an "Individual  Mandatory
Deferral Account"). Interest credited to the Mandatory Deferral Account shall be
allocated among the Participants in the respective  proportions that the balance
in each Participant's  Individual  Mandatory Deferral Account bears to the total
balance in the  Mandatory  Deferral  Account on the date that such  interest  is
credited.

               (iii)  The  human  resources  department  of the  Employer  shall
maintain  records  which  shall  reflect  the  amounts  in  each   Participant's
Individual  Mandatory Deferral Account attributable to each Plan Year, i.e., for
each Plan Year for which a  Participant  receives an award,  such records  shall
show the amount of such award plus the interest  earned thereon through the

                                       4
<PAGE>
most recent date interest was credited  thereon (for each Plan Year, such amount
is  referred  to herein as the "Plan  Year  Balance").  The sum of all Plan Year
Balances shall equal the total balance in a Participant's  Individual  Mandatory
Deferral Account.

               (iv) If, at the end of the fifth  Plan  Year  following  the Plan
Year for which a particular award was made to a Participant, such Participant is
still  employed by NPB or an  Affiliate or has retired at age 60 or later or has
died on or before the last day of such Plan Year, such Participant's  Individual
Mandatory  Deferral Account shall be credited by the Employer with an additional
amount  equal to the Plan Year  Balance  relating to the Plan Year of five years
before (the "Matching Contribution").

               (v) For purposes of this  subparagraph  5(a), a Participant shall
be deemed to be still  employed by NPB or an Affiliate as of the last day of any
Plan Year on which a balance exists in such Participant's  Individual  Mandatory
Deferral  Account if such  Participant is no longer then performing  services on
behalf of NPB or such Affiliate as a result of such Participant's disability.

          (b) (i) Type A and Type B  Participants  may elect to have the payment
of all or a portion  of the  balance of their  awards  deferred,  i.e.,  the Tax
Deferral amount.  Effective  January 1, 1985, such election shall be made before
the  beginning of the relevant  Plan Year or, in the case of a new employee or a
newly classified Type A or Type B Participant,  prior to his or her commencement
of employment or new classification as a Type A or Type B Participant, and shall
be in the form of  Schedule  C attached  to this plan  document.  The  aggregate
amount  of the Tax  Deferral  for the  Type A and Type B  Participants  shall be
credited to an account on the Employer's books (the "Tax Deferral Account"). The
Tax  Deferral  Account  shall be credited,  as of the last day of each  calendar
quarter,  with  interest  calculated  at the rate  paid on the  Investors  Trust
Company Money Market account for such quarter.

               (ii)  The  human  resources  department  of  the  Employer  shall
maintain  individual  accounts which shall reflect the share of each Participant
in the Tax Deferral  Account (each  referred to as an  "Individual  Tax Deferral
Account").  Interest  credited to the Tax  Deferral  Account  shall be allocated
among the  Participants in the respective  proportions  that the balance in each
Participant's  Individual Tax Deferral Account bears to the total balance in the
Tax Deferral Account on the date that such interest is credited.

          (c) Awards to Type A and Type B Participants not deferred  pursuant to
Subparagraph (b) above and all awards to Type C Participants shall be payable in
cash as soon as practicable after the close of the Plan Year.

                                       5
<PAGE>
          (d) In the event of a  Participant's  death prior to receipt of his or
her award earned hereunder  (including  amounts allocated to such  Participant's
Individual Mandatory Deferral Account and Individual Tax Deferral Account),  the
award shall be paid,  within  thirty  (30) days of the last day of the  calendar
quarter during which the  Participant's  death  occurred,  to the  Participant's
designated beneficiary under the Employer's group life insurance plan or, in the
absence of a valid designation, to the Participant's estate.

     6. Manner of Payment of Mandatory and Tax Deferral Amounts.

          (a) Prior to the end of the fifth  Plan Year  following  the Plan Year
for which an award was made to a Type A or Type B Participant,  such Participant
may elect to have the  balance  on the last day of such  fifth Plan Year in such
Participant's  Individual Mandatory Deferral Account,  after the addition of the
Matching Contribution (in the aggregate,  the "Total Balance"),  transferred and
credited to such  Participant's  Individual  Tax Deferral  Account,  if any, for
distribution in accordance with the Participant's  irrevocable election pursuant
to Schedule  C. Such an election  shall be in the form of Schedule D attached to
this plan  document.  If the  Participant  does not elect to transfer  the Total
Balance  to  the  Participant's  Individual  Tax  Deferral  Account,  or if  the
Participant does not have an Individual Tax Deferral Account,  the Total Balance
shall be paid in cash to the Participant as soon as practicable  after the close
of the Plan Year.

          (b) The amount  credited to a  Participant's  Individual  Tax Deferral
Account,  including amounts transferred pursuant to subparagraph (a) immediately
above,  shall  be  paid  to  such  Participant  in one  lump  sum  or in  annual
installments.  The actual manner of distribution  will be in accordance with the
Participant's  irrevocable  election,  the form of which is  attached  hereto as
Schedule C; provided, however, that if the Participant selects a distribution in
annual  installments,  such  installment will be paid in a manner which complies
with any applicable rules, regulations or laws.

     7. Funding.

          (a) Deferred award  obligations  under the Plan shall be paid from the
general assets of NPB or an Affiliate.

          (b) NPB, or an Affiliate,  in its sole discretion,  may earmark assets
or other means to meet the deferred award  obligations  provided under the Plan.
Any assets which may be earmarked to meet NPB's or an Affiliate's deferred award
obligations  provided  under the Plan shall continue for all purposes to be part
of the general  funds of NPB or an Affiliate and no person other than NPB or the
Affiliate  shall by virtue of the  provisions  of the Plan have any  interest in
such assets. To

                                       6
<PAGE>
the extent a Participant or his beneficiary acquires a right to receive deferred
award payments from NPB or an Affiliate  under the Plan,  such right shall be no
greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of NPB or an Affiliate.

          (c) Nothing  contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant to the
provisions  of the Plan shall  create or be  construed  to create a trust of any
kind, or a fiduciary  relationship between NPB or an Affiliate and a Participant
or any other person.

     8. Plan Administration.

          (a) The Committee shall, with respect to the Plan, have full power and
authority to construe,  interpret and manage,  control and  administer the Plan,
and to pass and decide upon cases in conformity  with the objectives of the Plan
under such rules as the Board of Directors of NPB may establish.

          (b) Any decision made or action taken by the Board of Directors of NPB
or the  Committee  arising  out of, or in  connection  with the  administration,
interpretation, and effect of the Plan shall be at their absolute discretion and
shall be conclusive and binding on all parties.

          (c) The  members  of the  Committee  and the  members  of the Board of
Directors of NPB shall not be liable for any act or action,  whether of omission
or commission,  made in connection with the interpretation and administration of
the Plan and which results in a loss,  damage,  expense or depreciation,  except
when due to their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     9. Amendment and Termination.

          NPB  reserves  the  right to amend  the Plan  from time to time and to
terminate  the Plan at any time.  All  amendments,  including  any  amendment to
terminate  the Plan,  shall be adopted  by the Board of  Directors  of NPB.  The
Committee will give prompt  written notice to each  Participant of any amendment
or termination of the Plan.

     10. Change in Control or Ownership.

          (a) Subject to the further terms and  provisions of this Paragraph 10,
the Plan shall  automatically  terminate on the date that a Change in Control or
Ownership shall occur, without necessity of any action by the Board of Directors
of NPB.

          (b)  If  a  Change  in  Control  or  Ownership   shall   occur,   each
Participant's Individual Mandatory Deferral Account shall be credited, as of the
day immediately  preceding the date on which such Change in Control or Ownership
occurred,  with additional amounts as follows: An amount equal to each Plan Year
Balance  shall be credited  by the  Employer  to such  Participant's  Individual

                                       7
<PAGE>
Mandatory  Deferral Account (such  additional  amounts are referred to herein as
"Change in Control Matching Contributions").

          (c) If a Change in Control or  Ownership  shall  occur,  the  Employer
shall pay each Participant a cash amount equal to the total amounts credited, as
of the  date  such  Change  in  Control  or  Ownership  occurred,  to  (i)  such
Participant's  Individual  Mandatory  Deferral Account  (including all Change in
Control  Matching  Contributions  made pursuant to subparagraph  (b) hereof) and
(ii) such  Participant's  Individual Tax Deferral Account,  if any. The Employer
shall pay such total amounts to the Participants  within thirty (30) days of the
termination of the Plan (as provided in subparagraph (a) hereof).

     11. Effective Date.

          The initial effective date of the Plan shall be January 1, 1984.

     12. Miscellaneous Provisions.

          (a) The  Plan  does not  constitute  a  contract  of  employment,  and
participation  in the  Plan  shall  not  give any  Participant  the  right to be
retained  in the  service  of NPB or an  Affiliate  or any  right  or claim to a
benefit under the Plan unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under
the terms of this plan document.

          (b) NPB or an  Affiliate  reserves  the  right  to  withhold  from any
deferred award payments payable  hereunder,  any amounts required to be withheld
under the federal income tax laws.

Plan are inserted for  convenience of reference only and shall not be considered
in the construction hereof.

          (d) Whenever any word is used herein in the singular form, it shall be
construed  as though it were used in the plural form,  as the context  requires,
and vice versa.

          (e) A masculine,  feminine or neuter  pronoun,  whenever  used herein,
shall be construed to include all genders as the context requires.

          (f) This plan document may be executed in any number of  counterparts,
each of  which  shall  be  deemed  one  and the  same  instrument  which  may be
sufficiently evidenced by any one counterpart.

          (g) Except to the extent pre-empted by federal law, this plan document
shall be construed,  administered  and enforced in accordance  with the domestic
internal law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
