requirement that the Company pay the "Severance" thereunder as more fully
described in Section 7 of this Agreement. Company represents to Executive that
(i) no "Change of Control" (as that term is defined in the Executive Employment
Agreement) has occurred and (ii) Company is not entering into this Agreement
with an intent, in whole or part, to avoid an obligation to pay any additional
severance that might be payable under the Executive Employment Agreement upon a
"Change of Control" (as defined therein).

period from the Effective Date through December 31, 2004 at his current salary,

<PAGE>

Retirement Date at a rate of $3,000.00 per month, payable at the times and in
the manner salary is generally paid by the Company from time to time. Company
acknowledges and agrees that this salary shall be eligible for matching under
the Company's 401(k) plan and that Executive will be eligible for this match
each quarter during 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, provided he remains
employed with the Company during each respective entire quarter. The foregoing
salary payments shall not be terminated or reduced due to Executive's death or
disability. This agreement to pay salary is conditioned upon Executive's
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company may only terminate its
obligation to pay this salary if Executive resigns from employment with the
Company.

5. Certain Employment Related Benefits. The following agreements to provide
benefits to Executive are conditioned upon Executive's compliance with the terms
of this Agreement.

(a) Executive shall be entitled to a bonus of not less than $20,000 related to
his services in 2004, to be paid by the Company in 2005 at the time that it pays
bonuses to any other executive officer, but in any event payable on or prior to
the Retirement Date. Executive shall not be entitled to any future bonus related
to his services in 2005 or 2006.

(b) During the period of Executive's employment hereafter, the Company will
provide the Executive with an office and telephone, and secretarial services to
assist him in his services for the Company.

(c) Until June 18, 2008, the Company will provide to Executive and his spouse
and the survivor of them, at the Company's expense, health and medical benefits
with coverages and other terms substantially as presently provided to Executive
and his spouse; provided, however, that the Company shall be solely responsible
for determining whether to provide such coverages pursuant to the Company plan
made available to other employees generally, or pursuant to a separate policy or
plan covering Executive and his spouse. In the event that the Company elects to
provide coverage pursuant to the Company's then available plan, such coverage
and other available terms will be subject to any changes in coverage and terms
made generally applicable to the Company's other executive officers during such
periods. In the event that the Company elects to provide such benefits pursuant
to a separate policy or plan covering Executive and his spouse, the Company
shall provide coverage and other terms (to the extent reasonably available)
substantially comparable to those presently provided to Executive and his
spouse. Executive and his spouse shall be solely responsible for any taxes they
may incur by virtue of receiving any such benefits after the Retirement Date.
Executive acknowledges that his right to continuation coverage under the federal
COBRA law shall commence on the Retirement Date.

(d) Use of vacation, vacation carryover if any, and payment for unused vacation
if any, shall be accorded Executive until the Retirement Date on the Company's
standard terms.

(e) The Company will not be obligated to provide any club memberships after June
20, 2005. Any club memberships heretofore provided by the Company shall remain
the property of the Company notwithstanding the name in which the membership is
carried, and any refund of membership fees shall be the property of the Company.

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

(f) No modifications have been or are being made to the SERP, which shall remain
in full force and effect hereafter according to its terms.

6. Stock Options.

(a) Executive's retirement on the Retirement Date shall be deemed a retirement
for purposes of the Stock Option Agreements and hence such options may be
exercised at any time during the period originally provided in each Stock Option
Agreement.

(b) Company will not be granting Executive additional Stock Options.

7. Severance. The Company and Executive acknowledge and agree that the
resignations of Executive provided for in this Agreement entitle the Executive,
as of the Effective Date, to severance in the aggregate amount of $207,428 (the
"Severance") under the Executive Employment Agreement, irrespective of the
provisions of this Agreement. The Severance shall be payable on the terms and at
the times provided in the Executive Employment Agreement, unless Executive
elects to receive it in a single lump sum on an earlier date and if he so elects
it shall be payable when he notifies Company of his election. The Severance is
not subject to matching under the Company's 401(k) plan. Executive shall not be
required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section by
seeking other employment or otherwise.

8. Adverse Activities.

(a) Prior to June 20, 2008, neither Executive nor any member of his immediate
family will, directly or indirectly, (A) engage or participate in any proxy
contest (whether involving election of directors of the Corporation or
otherwise), (B) speak publicly or assist others (i) against any proposal made by
management of the Company for approval by shareholders, or (ii) in favor of any
proposal made by any shareholder that is not affirmatively supported by
management of the Company, or (C) make any disparaging remarks about the
Corporation, the Bank, any of their corporate affiliates, or any director,
officer, employee or agent of any of them. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to restrict Executive's right to vote, tender or sell any of his stock in
the Corporation ("Shares") at his discretion; provided, however, that prior to
offering for sale any Shares, Executive shall first notify the Corporation in
writing of his intention to sell and the number of shares and proposed sale
price and give the Corporation or its nominee the right, within two (2) market
days thereafter, to buy those Shares at the mean of the bid and asked price for
the Shares on the most recent trading day prior to the Corporation's receipt of
such notice. If the Corporation or its nominee does not agree to buy those
Shares at such price within two (2) market days after receiving such notice,
Executive shall be free to offer and sell those Shares to others.

(b) The Company shall not make any disparaging remarks about the Executive.

(c) The employees of the Company have been recruited and trained by the Company
at considerable expense to the Company, and the customers of the Company have
been established at considerable expense to the Company. Accordingly, Executive
covenants that, until June 20, 2008, Executive will not (i) knowingly employ or
solicit for employment, or directly or

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

indirectly assist any other person or organization in employing or soliciting
for employment (herein, a "Solicitation") any employee of Corporation, Bank or
any of their corporate affiliates, except (1) an employee whose employment with
the Company has terminated prior to any Solicitation, or (2) after obtaining the
prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation; or (ii)
knowingly solicit or assist a third party in soliciting any customer of the Bank
or the Corporation or any of their subsidiaries to do business with a competitor
of the Corporation or the Bank or any of their subsidiaries. Prior to the
Retirement Date, Executive shall refer to the Bank's President all inquiries
from prospective employers to whom a Company employee has submitted a job
application ("Inquiries"). After the Retirement Date, Executive shall be
entitled to respond to Inquiries in his individual capacity, but not on behalf
of the Company.

9. Noncompete Covenant.

(a) For the period ending June 20, 2008, Executive shall not, directly or
indirectly, within the marketing area of the Bank, which is defined as Chester
County, Pennsylvania and any additional areas within 5 miles of any current bank
office or branch, enter into or engage, or assist any other person in engaging,
in direct or indirect competition with the Bank, the Corporation or any
corporate affiliate of either of them in providing banking, insurance,
securities or other financial services, either as an individual on his own, or
as a partner or joint venturer, director, officer, shareholder, employee, agent,
independent contractor, consultant or any other capacity. Company agrees that
the provision by Executive of services, at any location, to a person or
organization that does not compete directly with the Bank or the Corporation or
any subsidiary of either of them, will not violate the foregoing covenant. The
existence of any immaterial claim or cause of action of the Executive against
the Company, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not
constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of this covenant. Any
breach by the Executive of the restrictions set forth in this Section will
result in irreparable injury to the Company for which it shall have no adequate
remedy at law and the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in order to
enforce the provisions hereof. In the event that this Section shall be
determined to be unenforceable in part by reason of it being too great a period
of time or covering too great a geographical area, it shall be in full force and
effect as to that period of time or geographical area determined by the
applicable decisional authority to be reasonable.

(b) In cases where Executive is in doubt whether a proposed activity would
violate the covenants in this Agreement, the Company agrees, promptly upon
request of the Executive if provided by the Executive with such relevant
information as the Company may reasonably request, to provide Executive in
writing with the Company's position on (i) whether the proposed activity would
violate any of the covenants in this Agreement and, (ii) if the Company believes
the proposed activity would violate this Agreement, whether the Company will
nevertheless consent to such proposed activity and if so under what conditions.

10. Confidentiality; Proprietary Information. Names and addresses of customers
of the Corporation and the Bank and of customers of each of their corporate
affiliates and of each third party with whom any of them has any contractual
relationship (collectively "Customers"), and any and all other nonpublic
information concerning the Corporation, the Bank, any of their

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

corporate affiliates and each third party with whom any of them has any
contractual relationship are and shall remain confidential and the sole property
of the Company as its interests may appear (herein, "Confidential and
Proprietary Information") and Executive will use Confidential and Proprietary
Information solely for the benefit of the Company and for purposes for which the
Information was disclosed to the Executive. The Executive agrees that Executive
shall not, during or at any time after employment by the Company, use or
disclose to anyone, or permit or facilitate the disclosure by any third party
of, directly or indirectly, any of the Confidential and Proprietary Information
except as expressly authorized in writing by the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Executive shall not be prohibited from disclosing Confidential and
Proprietary Information pursuant to court order, lawful subpoena or regulatory
agency request, but Executive shall have given Company the maximum prior written
notice practicable under the circumstances, identifying the information to be
disclosed and the order, subpoena or regulatory request pursuant to which he is
obligated to make the disclosure, and Corporation shall have an opportunity to
intervene to protect Corporation's rights. As soon as practicable upon the
request of the Company but in any event no later than the Retirement Date, the
Executive shall turn over to the Company the originals and all copies of all
tangible, electronic and other data and documentation relating to or evidencing
or containing any Confidential and Proprietary Information. The provisions of
this Section are independent covenants and shall survive the termination,
expiration or modification of this Agreement.

Agreement are conditional upon a strict compliance with Executive's obligations
under this Agreement.

("Executive").

                                   Background

A. Company and Executive wish to enter into an agreement pursuant to which
Company wishes to secure the future services of Executive by providing Executive
the severance payments provided in this Agreement as additional incentive to
induce Executive to devote Executive's time and attention to the interests and
affairs of the Company.

B. Executive is willing to enter into this Agreement upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth.

C. The Boards of Directors of the Holding Company and the Bank have each
approved this Agreement and it is intended to be maintained as part of the

1. Employment. Except strictly to such extent (if any) as may be provided in
another agreement between Holding Company or Bank and Executive, Executive shall
remain an employee at will of the Company hereafter. This Agreement is not an
employment agreement, but shall only be interpreted as governing the payment of
severance, which may be due to Executive upon termination of Executive's
employment with Company under the specific circumstances described in this
Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to derogate from
the power of the Company or its Board of Directors to terminate the employment
of the Executive, subject nevertheless to the terms of this Agreement.

2. Compensation. The compensation to be paid by Company to Executive from time
to time, including any fringe benefits or other employee benefits, shall not be
governed by this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be deemed to affect the
terms of any stock options, employee benefits or other agreements between the
Company and Executive.

3. Severance Payments upon Termination of Employment After a "Change in
Control". This Agreement does not govern any termination of Executive's
employment with Company which occurs prior to a "change in control" as defined
in subsection (e) of this Section. No inference shall be drawn from any
provision of this Section 3 concerning the rights and

<PAGE>

obligations of the parties in connection with a termination of Executive's
employment prior to such a "change in control".

(a) Termination by Company for Cause or Not for Cause. If Executive's employment
is terminated by Company for "cause" (as defined in subsection (c) of this
Section) at any time, or with or without "cause" prior to a "change in control",
Executive shall have no right to any severance or other payments under this
Agreement due to such termination. If Executive is terminated by Company or
Holding Company after a "change in control" (as defined in subsection (e) of
this Section) other than for "cause", Executive's right to severance payments
under this Agreement shall be as set forth in subsection (f) of this Section. A
termination by Company of Executive's employment with Bank only or Holding
Company only shall be deemed a termination for purposes of this Agreement, and
Executive's right to severance payments (if any) hereunder, shall be determined
as if such termination were a termination from employment with Company entirely.

(b) Termination by Executive for Good Reason or Not for Good Reason. If
Executive terminates Executive's employment with Holding Company and Bank prior
to a change in control, or without "good reason" (as defined in subsection (d)
of this Section) at any time, Executive shall have no right to any severance or
other payments under this Agreement due to such termination. If Executive
terminates Executive's employment with Holding Company and Bank for "good
reason" after a "change in control" (as defined in subsection (e) of this
Section), Executive's right to severance payments under this Agreement shall be
as set forth in subsection (f) of this Section.

(c) Definition of "Cause". For the purpose of this Agreement, termination for
"cause" shall mean termination for personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful
misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit, conviction of a
felony, suspension or removal from office or prohibition from participation in
the conduct of Holding Company's or Bank's affairs pursuant to a notice or other
action by any Regulatory Agency, or willful violation of any law, rule or
regulation or final cease-and-desist order which in the reasonable judgment of
the Board of Directors of the Company will probably cause substantial economic
damages to the Company, willful or intentional breach or neglect by Executive of
his duties, or material breach of any material provision of this Agreement. For
purposes of this paragraph, no act, or failure to act on Executive's part shall
be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by him without good
faith and without reasonable belief that this action or omission was in the best
interest of Company; provided that any act or omission to act by Executive in
reliance upon an approving opinion of counsel to the Company or counsel to the
Executive shall not be deemed to be willful. The terms "incompetence" and
"misconduct" shall be defined with reference to standards generally prevailing
in the banking industry. In determining incompetence and misconduct, Company
shall have the burden of proof with regard to the acts or omission of Executive
and the standards prevailing in the banking industry.

(d) Definition of "Good Reason". For purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall
have "good reason" for terminating his employment with Holding Company and Bank
if Executive terminates such employment within two (2) years after the
occurrence of any one or more of the following events (a "Triggering Event")
without Executive's express written consent, but only if the Triggering Event
occurs within two (2) years after a "change in control" (as defined in
subsection (e) of this Section) of Bank or Holding Company: (i) the assignment
to Executive of any duties inconsistent with Executive's positions, duties,
responsibilities, titles or offices with Bank or Holding Company as in effect
immediately prior to a change in control of Bank or

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

Holding Company, (ii) any removal of Executive from, or any failure to re-elect
Executive to, any of such positions, except in connection with a termination or
suspension of employment for cause, disability, death or retirement, (iii) a
reduction by Holding Company or Bank in Executive's base annual salary as in
effect immediately prior to a change in control or as the same may be increased
from time to time thereafter, or the failure to grant increases in the
Executive's base annual salary on a basis at least substantially comparable to
the lowest increase granted to other officers of the Company having the title of
senior vice president or above, or (iv) any purported termination of Executive's
employment with Bank or Holding Company when "cause" (as defined in this
Agreement) for such termination does not exist.

(e) Definition of "Change in Control". For purposes of this Agreement, a "change
in control" of Company or Bank shall mean any one or more of the following:

(1) a change in control of a nature that would be required to be reported in
response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")(or any successor provision)
as it may be amended from time to time;

(2) any "persons" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Exchange Act in effect on the date first written above), other than Company or
Bank or any "person" who on the date hereof is a director of officer of Company
or Bank, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Company or Bank
representing 25% or more of the combined voting power of Company's or Bank's
then outstanding securities; or

(3) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of Company or Bank
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the
election of each director who was not a director at the beginning of such period
has been approved in advance by directors representing at least two-thirds of
the directors then in office who were directors at the beginning of the period.

(4) the signing of a letter of intent or a formal acquisition or merger
agreement between the Holding Company or Bank, of the one part, and a third
party which contemplates a transaction which would result in a "change of
control" under paragraphs (1), (2) or (3) of this subsection (f), but, as to any
Triggering Event, only if such letter of intent or agreement, or the transaction
contemplated thereby, has not been canceled or terminated at the time the
occurrence of the Triggering Event in question.

(f) Severance. If Executive is entitled to severance payments under subsection
(a) or (b) of this Section, and if Executive shall have signed a release or
releases as more fully described in Section 4 of this Agreement, Company shall
pay as severance to Executive the following:

(I) Base Severance. An amount equal to: (A) the annual base salary paid to the
Executive and includible in the Executive's gross income for federal income tax
purposes during the year in which the date of termination occurs by Company and
any of its subsidiaries subject to United States income tax; multiplied by (B)
2.99. Such payment shall be made in a lump sum within one (1) calendar week
following the date of termination, subject to withholding by the Company as
required by applicable law and regulations. Notwithstanding any provision of
this Agreement or any other agreement of the parties, if the severance payment
or payments under this Agreement, either along or together with other payments
which the Executive has the right

                                       -3-

<PAGE>

receive from the Company, would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") or
any successor provision, such lump sum severance payment shall be reduced to the
largest amount as will result in no portion of the lump sum severance payment
under this Agreement being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Code.

(II) Medical/Health Benefits. For a period of eighteen (18) months from the date
of termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Company shall
continue to pay for Executive's health insurance, HMO or other similar medical
provider benefits (excluding any disability plans or benefits) on the same terms
and conditions available to other employees from time to time. Thereafter, if
the Executive chooses to continue such medical/health benefits as provided under
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act ("COBRA"), Executive must do
so at Executive's own expense. If, at any time after the termination of
Executive's employment with the Company, Executive becomes covered for
medical/health benefits on any terms with a new employer, the Company shall
thereafter have no obligation to pay for any benefits or coverage and the
Company's COBRA obligations shall terminate to the extent permitted by COBRA.
Executive agrees to immediately notify Company, in writing, upon Executive's
acceptance of new employment which provides medical/health benefits for which
Executive is eligible.

(g) Any termination of Executive's employment by Company or by Executive shall
be communicated by a dated, written notice, signed by the party giving the
notice, which shall (A) indicate the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon; (B) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and
circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive's
employment under the provision so indicated; (C) specify the effective date of
termination.

(h) All obligations under this Agreement are subject to termination by any bank
regulatory agency having jurisdiction over Holding Company or Bank ("Regulatory
Agency") in accordance with any applicable provisions of law or regulations
granting such authority, but rights of the Executive to compensation earned as
of the date of termination shall not be affected.

(i) Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. The
severance payments provided for in this Agreement shall not be reduced by any
compensation or other payments received by Executive after the date of
termination of Executive's employment from any source.

4. Execution of Release Required. Executive agrees that, as a precondition to
receiving the payments provided for in this Agreement, Executive shall have
executed and delivered to Holding Company and Bank a release or releases, in
form satisfactory to Holding Company and Bank, releasing all claims which
Executive may then have against Holding Company or Bank, including without
limitation any claims related to employment, termination of employment,
discrimination, harassment, compensation or benefits, but excluding any claims
for payments due or to become due under this Agreement.

5. Payment Obligations Absolute. Provided that the preconditions for payment set
forth in this Agreement are fully satisfied, Company's obligation to pay
Executive the severance payments provided herein shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without
limitation, any set-off counter claim, recoupment, defense or

                                       -4-

<PAGE>

other right which Company may have against Executive. All amounts payable by
Company hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand.

6. Continuing Obligations. Executive shall retain in confidence any confidential
information known to him concerning Company and its business so long as such
information is not publicly disclosed.

7. Amendments. No amendments to this Agreement shall be binding unless in a
writing, signed by both parties, which states expressly that it amends this
Agreement.

8. Notices. Notices under this Agreement shall be deemed sufficient and
effective if (i) in writing and (ii) either (A) when delivered in person or by
facsimile, telecopier, telegraph or other electronic means capable of being
embodied in written form or (B) forty-eight (48) hours after deposit thereof in
the U.S. mails by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, addressed to each party at such party's address first set forth
above and, in the case of Company, to the attention of the Chairman of the
Board, or to such other notice address as the party to be notified may have
designated by written notice to the sending party.

9. Prior Agreements. There are no other agreements between Company and Executive
regarding Executive's employment. This Agreement is the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any and all prior or
contemporaneous discussions, representations, understandings or agreements
regarding its subject matter.

10. Assigns and Successors. The rights and obligations of Company under this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors
and assigns of Company and Executive, provided, however, that Executive shall
not assign or anticipate any of his rights hereunder, whether by operation of
law or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, "Company" shall also refer to
any successor to Holding Company or Bank, whether such succession occurs by
merger, consolidation, purchase and assumption, sale of assets or otherwise.

11. Executive's Acknowledgment of Terms. Executive acknowledges that he has read
this Agreement fully and carefully, understands its terms and that it has been
entered into by Executive voluntarily. Executive acknowledges that any payments
to be made hereunder will constitute additional compensation to Executive.
Executive further acknowledges that Executive has had sufficient opportunity to
consider this Agreement and discuss it with Executive's own advisors, including
Executive's attorney and accountants. Executive has been informed that Executive
has the right to consider this Agreement for a period of at least twenty one
(21) days prior to entering into it. Executive acknowledges that Executive has
taken sufficient time to consider this Agreement before signing it. Executive
also acknowledges that Executive has the right to revoke this Agreement for a
period of seven (7) days following this Agreement's execution by giving written
notice of revocation to Company.
