FRANKLIN FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, the consolidated statements of income for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the

the year ended of December 31, 1998 and the six months ended June
30, 1999 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the
six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 have been prepared
by the Corporation, without audit where indicated. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows at June 30, 1999,
and for all periods presented have been made. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current
year's reporting.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Franklin Financial Services Corporation (the Corporation), and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Farmers and Merchants Trust Company
of Chambersburg. All significant intercompany transactions and
account balances have been eliminated.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's 1998
Annual Report. The results of operations for the period ended
June 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash, due from banks, and federal funds sold.
Generally, Federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day
periods. Supplemental disclosures of cash flows information are
as follows:

NOTE 5 - Stock Repurchase Program
On March 4, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 50,000 shares of the Corporation's $1.00 par
value common stock, representing approximately 1.79% of such
shares then issued and outstanding. The repurchases are
authorized to be made from time to time during the next 12 months
in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The
repurchased shares will be held as treasury shares available for
issuance in connection with future stock dividends and stock
splits, employee benefit plans, executive compensation plans, and
for issuance under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and other
corporate purposes. No common shares were purchased under this
plan during the second quarter or six months ended June 30, 1999.
Under a similar plan authorized by the Board of Directors in
March 1998, 8,975 shares of the Corporation's common stock were
repurchased at a cost of approximately $260,000 during the first
quarter of 1999.
NOTE 6 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On March 4, 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants issued Statement of Position, (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting
for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for
Internal Use." This Statement provides guidelines on accounting
for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for
internal use and is effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1998. The Corporation adopted
SOP 98-1 on January 1, 1999. The impact of adoption was
immaterial.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
for the Three and Six Month Periods
Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
Part 1, Item 2
Results of Operations
In the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999,
the Corporation earned $1.24 million and $2.52 million,
respectively, compared to $1.24 million and $2.48 million,
respectively, for the comparable periods ended June 30, 1998.
Basic earnings per share equaled $.46 and $.93, respectively, for
the second quarter and six months in 1999 versus $.46 and $.91,
respectively, for the same periods in 1998. A squeeze on the net
interest margin is primarily responsible for the soft earnings
for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999. Book
value per share equaled $14.04 at June 30, 1999, compared to
$13.72 at June 30, 1998.
The Corporation's annualized return on average assets (ROA)
and return on average equity (ROE) for the first six months of
1999 were 1.20% and 12.87%, respectively, compared to 1.39% and
13.38%, respectively, for the same periods ended June 30, 1998.
The decline in these two measurements reflect the soft earnings
mentioned above, a 17% growth in total assets over the twelve
month period and a strong capital position.
Net interest income remained steady at $3.57 million for the
second quarter of 1999 compared to $3.53 million for the second
quarter of 1998 due primarily to the growth (21.0%) in
interest-bearing liabilities out pacing the growth (17.7%) in
interest-earning assets. In addition, the squeeze on the net
interest margin due to local competition and general market rates
contributed to the lack of growth in net interest income during
the second quarter. The scenario is much the same for the six
months, with net interest income totaling $7.16 million for the
period ended June 30, 1999 versus $7.12 million for the period
ended June 30, 1998. For the six months, interest-earning assets
grew 18.2% and averaged $398.2 million while interest-bearing
liabilities grew 21.6% and averaged $336.4 million. Interest
spread for the six months ended June 30, 1999, was 3.26% versus
3.68% one year earlier; net interest margin was 3.93% and 4.50%,
respectively, for the same periods.
The Corporation expensed a provision for possible loan
losses of $200,000 and $395,000 for the second quarter and six
months, respectively, in 1999 versus $190,000 and $555,000,
respectively, for the same periods in 1998. The allowance as a
percentage of loans was 1.36% at June 30, 1999, versus 1.33% at
June 30, 1998. The provision reflects the level of loan
charge-off activity and growth in the loan portfolio.
Total noninterest income, excluding securities gains, grew
7.16%, or $70,000, to $1.05 million and 12.4%, or $232,000, to
$2.1 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
1999, respectively. Higher trust fee income was primarily
responsible for the increase in noninterest income for both
periods presented. New trust business coupled with increased
market values of trust investments were the main contributors to
the growth in trust fees for the second quarter and six months of
1999.
The Corporation realized no securities gains for the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $196,000
and $495,000, respectively, for the same periods in 1998. Net
securities gains realized in 1998 were from the Corporation's
available-for-sale bank equities portfolio.
Total noninterest expense recorded a decrease of .89%, or
$26,000, to $2.87 million for the second quarter ended June 30,
1999, over the second quarter of 1998 and an increase of 1.0%, or
$57,000, to $5.74 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
over the comparable six months in 1998. Salaries and benefits
expense recorded an increase for the quarter ($136,000) and six
months ($235,000). Salaries expense recorded an increase of
$100,000, or 9.1%, to $1.2 million for the quarter and
approximately $176,000, or 7.9 %, to $2.2 million for the six
months. Benefits expense increased approximately $36,500, or
14.6%, to $ 287,000 for the quarter and approximately $59,000,or
11.3%, to $528,000 for the six months. General merit salary
increases and a lower pension credit than in the previous year
are primarily responsible for the higher salary and benefit
expense for the second quarter and six months. Other noninterest
expense was down $222,000, or 27.2% to $595,000 for the second
quarter and down $292,000, or 1.0%, to $1.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. The primary contributor to the
decrease in other expense were nonrecurring expenses related to
the write down and demolition of bank-owned buildings in 1998.
During the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, the
Corporation expensed approximately $274,000 and $383,000,
respectively, for these expenses. No similar expense was
incurred in the second quarter and six months ended June 30,
1999.
Federal income tax expense for the second quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1999, was $304,000 and $600,000,
respectively, compared to $375,000 and $769,000, respectively,
for the same periods ended June 30, 1998. The effective tax
rates for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were
19.2% and 23.7%, respectively, versus a statutory rate of 34.0%.
The variance between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax
rate is due primarily to interest income earned on tax-free
investments and tax-free loans plus low income housing tax
credits.
The Year 2000 Issue
At June 30, 1999, the Corporation determined its Year 2000
state of readiness to be 85% complete for all mission critical
equipment and systems. Phase III, the testing and validation
phase is underway and is expected to be complete by August 31,
1999. The Corporation continues to maintain ongoing contact with
companies that are commercial borrowers and who are not yet fully
compliant with their Year 2000 issues. To date, the Corporation
does not know of any commercial business borrower whose Year 2000
status has caused concern for the Corporation's management. No
Year 2000 costs have been incurred or reflected in the second
quarter and six months net results. Aggregate Year 2000 costs
for the Corporation are expected to be significantly less than
$200,000. The Corporation's Year 2000 Business Resumption and
Cash Contingency Plans have been completed and forwarded to the
applicable regulatory agency.
Financial Condition
Total assets recorded little movement since year-end 1998
totaling $426.3 million at June 30, 1999, compared to $425.0
million at December 31, 1998. Net loans showed moderate growth
improving $10.0 million, or 3.9%, to $268.5 million at June 30,
1999, from $258.5 million at December 31, 1998. The growth in net
loans came primarily from the commercial loan portfolio which
recorded an increase of $14.7 million, or 14.5%, to $116.3
million at June 30, 1999. During the first six months of 1999
the Corporation sold $8.1 million in originated mortgage loans to
the secondary market, primarily FNMA; this compares with $13.4
million sold during the first six months of 1998. Funding for
the loan growth came primarily from interest bearing deposits in
other banks ( Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh) and deposit
growth. Total deposits grew $3.0 million to $329.6 million at
June 30, 1999, from $326.6 million at December 31, 1998. The
growth in deposits came primarily from the money market accounts
which recorded an increase of $7.5 million to $64.1 million at
June 30, 1999, from $56.6 million at December 31, 1998.
Competition from other local financial institutions and from
nonfinancial institutions continue to make deposit gathering a
challenge for the Corporation.
Net charge-offs for the second quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1999, were $146,000 and $267,000, respectively, compared
to $171,000 and $534,000 for the same periods ended June 30,
1998. The Corporation's consumer loan portfolio was responsible
for 93.5% of the net charge-offs year to date. As discussed in
the Corporation's 1998 Annual Report, personal bankruptcies of
loan customers continue to have an adverse impact on the
Corporation. Although significant improvement has occurred in
the first six months of 1999, management remains alert to any
signs that would indicate problems ahead. The implementation of
more stringent underwriting standards and the intense consumer
loan training for all consumer loan personnel is largely
responsible for the improvement achieved to date and will serve
to reverse the trend in the future. The annualized ratio of net
charge-offs to average loans was .20% at June 30, 1999, compared
to .32% and .44% at December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998,
respectively.
Nonperforming loans totaled $1.4 million at June 30, 1999,
compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 1998 and $1.7 million at
June 30, 1998. Included in nonperforming loans at June 30, 1999,
were nonaccrual loans totaling $ 1.1 million and $363,000 in
loans past due over 90 days. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due
over 90 days equaled $1.3 million and $314,000, respectively, at
December 31, 1998. The Corporation recorded other real estate
owned (OREO) totaling $390,000 at June 30, 1999, compared to
$527,000 at year-end 1998. Nonperforming assets represented .43%
of total assets at June 30, 1999 compared to .51% at December 31,
1998.
The allowance for possible loan losses totaled $3.7 million
at June 30, 1999 compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 1998,
and represented 1.36% and 1.35%, respectively, of total loans.
The allowance at June 30, 1999, provided coverage for
nonperforming loans at a rate of 2.54 times compared to 2.10
times at December 31, 1998.
The unemployment rate in Franklin County edged up a bit to
4.3% in June; the rate had been holding at around 4.0%.
Franklin County ranked 23 from the top in unemployment among
Pennsylvania's 67 counties. Neighboring Cumberland County ranked
ninth with an unemployment rate of 3.0%. Despite the small
increase in the unemployment rate, Franklin County has lower
unemployment than the nation (4.5%) and is in line with the state
(4.3%).
The Franklin County area has experienced some recent job
losses (450) with the closing of two manufacturing plants in the
area and the continued downsizing at the Letterkenny Army Depot.
Despite these job losses local officials are very optimistic
concerning the strength of the local economy. In addition to
small businesses adding jobs, area Development Authorities are
actively working to attract new business to the area.
Liquidity
The Corporation's liquidity position (net cash, short-term
and marketable assets divided by net deposits and short-term
liabilities) was 29.5% at June 30, 1999. The Corporation
actively sells mortgage loans to the secondary market (primarily
FNMA) and looks to its borrowing ability with FHLB to satisfy any
liquidity needs. As reported earlier, the Corporation sold
approximately $ 8.1 million in mortgage loans to the secondary
market (primarily FNMA) during the first six months of 1999 and
had advances outstanding with FHLB totaling $30.7 million. The
Corporation's maximum borrowing capacity with FHLB equals $ 91
million. Management believes that liquidity is adequate to meet
the borrowing and deposit withdrawal needs of its customers
Capital Adequacy
Total shareholders' equity decreased $658,000 to $39.2
million at June 30, 1999, from $39.9 million at December 31,
1998, primarily the result of unrealized securities losses and
cash dividends declared during the first six months of 1999,
including a special $.40 per share special cash dividend.
Cash dividends declared in the second quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1999, totaled $447,500 and $2.0 million,
respectively. For the first six months of 1998, cash dividends
declared totaled $420,000. In November, 1997, the Board of
Directors declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share
($.66 per share adjusted for a 3 for 2 stock split issued in the
form of a 50% stock dividend) and a $.15 per share first quarter
1998 dividend. Both of these cash dividends were paid to the
shareholders in the first quarter of 1998 and totaled $2.3
million.
Capital adequacy is currently defined by banking regulatory
agencies through the use of several minimum required ratios. At
June 30, 1999, the Corporation was determined to be well
capitalized as defined by the banking regulatory agencies. The
Corporation's leverage ratio, Tier I and Tier II risk-based
capital ratios at June 30, 1999, were 8.71 %, 12.98 % and 14.23
%, respectively. For more information refer to Note 2 of the
financial statements.

Exhibit 10.2 Franklin Financial Services Corporation Senior
Management Incentive Program
FRANKLIN FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATION
SENIOR MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
(AS AMENDED OCTOBER 15, 1992)
1. Purpose
The Senior Management Incentive Program (the Program)
is being adopted pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan of
1990. The purpose of the Program is to provide selected
employees of Franklin Financial Services Corporation (the
Company) and its subsidiaries with an opportunity to receive cash
awards and shares of the Company's $1.00 par value per share
common stock (Common Stock) and to provide an additional
incentive for employees to enter into and remain in the employ of
the Company.
2. Administration
The Program shall be consistent with and subject to the
terms and conditions of the Long-Term Incentive Plan of 1990. In
the event of a discrepancy between the terms and conditions of
the Program with the terms and conditions of the Long-Term
Incentive Plan of 1990, the terms and conditions of the Long-Term
Incentive Plan of 1990 shall control. The Program shall be
administered by the Committee designated by the Board of
Directors of the Company to administer the Long-Term Incentive
Plan of 1990, and the Committee shall have the authority and
responsibilities set forth in the Long-Term Incentive Plan of
1990.
3. Eligibility
All employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who
are eligible to participate in the Long-Term Incentive Plan of
1990 shall also be eligible to participate in the Program. The
Committee shall select the employees to receive awards pursuant
to the Program.
4. Procedure for Awards
The Committee shall select the employees to whom an
award shall be granted pursuant to the Program, and shall
determine the incentive amount to be awarded to each such
employee.
The Committee shall express each award under the
Program in an aggregate dollar amount (the Award) that the Award
recipient is eligible to receive throughout a five (5) year
period after the Award is granted. The aggregate dollar amount
of each Award shall be divided into a Common Stock Award and a
Cash Award, pursuant to the election provisions of the Program.
Both the Common Stock Award and the Cash Award are subject to
vesting requirements, as provided in the Program. The Committee
shall give written notice of the grant of an Award to the Award
recipient.
5. Common Stock Election
Each employee shall make an election to receive a
portion of his or her Award in the form of Common Stock (the
Common Stock Award). The Common Stock Award shall be a
percentage evenly divisible by five (5), which shall not be less
than fifty (50%) percent. The written notice received by an
employee shall be accompanied by an election form to be completed
and signed by the employee, irrevocably electing the portion of
the Award to be received in Common Stock. The employee shall
promptly execute and deliver the election form to the Committee.
That portion of the total Award for which the employee
has not made an election to receive Common Stock shall be payable
in cash subject to the vesting requirements of the Program (the
Cash Award).
After the employee has elected the Common Stock Award,
the Committee shall calculate the number of shares of Common
Stock that may be received in respect of the Common Stock Award.
That number of shares shall be calculated by (i) dividing (x) the
dollar value of the Common Stock Award by (y) the Fair Market
Value (as defined in Section 3.9 of the Long-Term Incentive Plan
of 1990) of the Common Stock as of the date that the Restricted
Stock Award Agreement for such shares is entered into, and then
(ii) multiplying the remainder so calculated by one hundred
twenty percent (120%).
After the number of shares to be awarded to the
employee has been calculated, the Committee shall deliver a
Restricted Stock Award Agreement governing such shares, setting
forth the vesting requirements for the Common Stock Award and for
the Cash Award, and containing such other provisions that are not
inconsistent with this Program or with the Long-Term Incentive
Plan of 1990 as the Committee may determine.
6. Vesting of Common Stock
All shares of restricted stock awarded to an employee
under the Program shall fully vest upon the expiration of ten
(10) years from the date of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement;
provided, however, that the employee is an employee of the
Company or one of its subsidiaries at that time. The Committee
may accelerate the vesting of the restricted stock in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan.
With respect to each employee for whom the Committee
has determined to accelerate the vesting of the restricted stock,
the Committee shall set forth in the Restricted Stock Award
Agreement a five-year cumulative goal for the consolidated net
income of the Company, and annual goals for the consolidated net
income of the Company in each of the five applicable years. The
cumulative and annual net income goals for an employee of a
subsidiary of the Company may be set by reference to the net
income of such subsidiary. The Company's consolidated net income
shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) as set forth in the Company's annual
audited financial statements. A subsidiary's net income shall be
determined in accordance with GAAP as set forth in the
subsidiary's separate financial statements that are included in
the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements;
and any adjustments made in consolidation which are allocable to
the subsidiary's net income shall be included in the
determination of the subsidiary's net income.
Shares of restricted stock will vest in any year if the
Company meets its net income goal for such year. The number of
shares that will vest in any year shall be determined as follows:
First: Determine the Company's net
income for the year in question, and add to
that number the Company's net income (or
loss) in each prior year in the five year
period (if any). That sum shall be known as
the "Cumulative Net Income."
Second: Divide the Company's
Cumulative Net Income by the cumulative
five-year goal for net income as set forth in
the Restricted Stock Award Agreement. That
remainder shall be known as the "Cumulative
Vesting Percentage."
Third: Multiply the Cumulative
Vesting Percentage by the total number of
shares of restricted stock awarded to the
employee as set forth in the Restricted Stock
Award Agreement. That product shall be known
as the "Cumulative Vested Shares."
Fourth: Subtract from the Cumulative
Vested Shares the number of shares (if any)
that vested in any prior year or years. The
remainder so determined shall be the number
of shares that shall vest in any year.
If the annual net income goal is not met in a
particular year, then no shares of restricted stock shall vest in
that year.
If, after the five-year period for which the net income
goals have been determined, not all the shares of restricted
stock have vested, then beginning in year six and continuing
annually thereafter the Cumulative Vesting Percentage shall
continue to be calculated and the number of vested shares shall
continue to be determined as provided above, except that no
annual net income goals shall apply in order for vesting to
occur. For illustration purposes only, an example of accelerated
vesting has been attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
7. Payment of the Cash Award
That portion of the total Award for which the employee
has not made an election to receive Common Stock shall be payable
in cash subject to the vesting requirements of the Program (the
Cash Award). For example, if an employee is granted an Award of
$100,000 and irrevocably elects to receive the Stock Award of
eighty percent (80%), the employee will receive a Cash Award of
twenty percent (20%), or $20,000.
An employee's Cash Award shall be payable in
installments over the five (5) year period of the Award. Payment
of a percentage of the Cash Award will be made in any year if the
Company meets its net income goal for that year. The applicable
percentage of the Cash Award to be paid in each year (the Cash
Vesting Percentage) shall be determined by the Committee and
shall be set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement. The
amount of the Cash Award payable in each year shall equal the
Cash Vesting Percentage for such year multiplied by the total of
the Cash Award. No part of the Cash Award shall be paid in any
year in which the annual net income goal has not been met, nor
shall the Cash Award for such year be paid in any future year.
Any part of the Cash Award that has not been paid at the end of
the five-year Award period shall be forfeited and shall be
retained by the Company.
8. Termination of Employment
In accordance with Section 9.5C of the Long-Term
Incentive Plan of 1990, an employee who ceases to be an employee
of the Company or one of its subsidiaries prior to the expiration
of ten years from the date of the Restricted Stock Award
Agreement for reasons other than death or disability, shall
forfeit to the Company all shares of restricted stock which have
not vested prior to that time, and shall forfeit that part of the
cash portion of the employee's incentive amount which has not yet
been paid over to the employee. Provided, however, that in the .
event of an employee's retirement from the Company or one of its
subsidiaries, the Committee may determine that the employee shall
be permitted to continue to participate in the Program,
contingent upon the execution by the employee of an agreement not
to compete or a post-retirement consulting agreement with the
Company.
9. Death or Disability
In accordance with Section 9.5D of the Long-Term
Incentive Plan of 1990, in the event of an employee's death or
disability (as defined in the Long-Term Incentive Plan of 1990)
prior to the expiration of ten years from the date of the
Restricted Stock Award Agreement, the restrictions imposed
hereunder shall lapse and the employee shall receive a stock
certificate representing that number of shares of restricted
stock which have not vested prior to that time. However, no part
of the Cash Award which has not previously been paid to the
employee shall be paid to the employee as a result of the
employee's death or disability.
10. Non-Transferability
Awards granted under this Program may not be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. No shares of
restricted stock awarded under this Program may be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered until such
time as any such shares become vested.
11. Amendment of Program
The non-management members of the Board of Directors of
the Company may amend this Program from time to time in such
manner as they may deem advisable; provided, however, that no
amendment to this Program shall adversely affect any outstanding
Restricted Stock Award Agreement without the consent of the
employee who has received such award.
12. No Continued Employment
An Award granted pursuant to this Program and the
Restricted Stock Award Agreement executed in connection therewith
shall not be construed to imply or constitute evidence of any
agreement, express or implied, on the part of the Company or any
subsidiary thereof to retain the employee in the employ of the
Company or any subsidiary thereof, and each such employee who
receives an award hereunder shall remain subject to discharge to
the same extent as if this Program had not been implemented.
13. Withholding of Taxes
Whenever shares of restricted stock vest or, if sooner,
whenever an employee must include the shares of restricted stock
in income for federal income tax purposes, the Company shall have
the right to (a) require the employee to remit or otherwise make
available to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all
federal, state and/or local withholding tax requirements prior to
the delivery of any certificates for such restricted stock, or
(b) take whatever action it deems necessary to protect its
interests with respect to tax liabilities, including, without
limitation, redeeming a portion of any restricted stock otherwise
deliverable pursuant to this Program with a then fair market
value equal to such tax liabilities. The Company's obligation to
make any delivery or transfer of vested restricted stock shall be
conditioned upon the employee's compliance with any withholding
requirement to the Company's satisfaction. The Company shall
also have the right to deduct from all amounts paid in cash to an
employee any taxes required by law to be withheld therefrom. The
Committee shall have the authority to establish rules with
respect to the Company's obligations in connection with the
withholding requirements described herein so as to ensure
compliance with Rule 16b-3(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
14. Stock Certificates
Certificates issued in respect of shares of restricted
stock shall be registered in the name of the employee and
deposited by him, together with a stock power endorsed in blank,
with the Company. Such stock certificates may bear a legend
referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to
such shares. Upon the vesting of all or a portion of such
shares, or upon the expiration of ten years from the date of the
Restricted Stock Award Agreement, the Company shall deliver to
the employee or his legal representative stock certificates
representing such shares which have then vested.
15. Dividend and Voting Rights
An employee who has received restricted stock hereunder
shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company,
including, but not limited to, the right to receive all dividends
paid on such shares and the right to vote such shares.
16. Effect on Other Benefits
The value of a Restricted Stock Award Agreement is not
includible for determining compensation or benefits under any
other Company compensation or benefit plan.
17. Change of Control
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the
event of a "Change of Control" as defined in Section 10.2B of the
Long-Term Incentive Plan of 1990, all shares of restricted stock
awarded to employee pursuant to this Program which have not yet
vested nor been forfeited shall automatically vest simultaneously
with a "Change of Control", provided that the employee is an
employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries immediately
prior to the "Change of Control."
EXHIBIT A
An employee of the Company has been granted an aggregate
Award for the next five years of $50,000. The employee has
irrevocably elected to receive 80% of his five-year Award in the
form of Common Stock of the Company. Thus, the Common Stock
Award is $40,000 and the Cash Award is $10,000. If the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of the Restricted
Stock Award Agreement is $20.00, the employee will receive 2,400
shares of restricted stock ((i)(x) $40,000 Common Stock Award
dollar value divided by (y) $20.00 per share value and then
(ii) multiplied by 120% stock premium factor).
The five-year cumulative goal established by the
Committee for the net income of the Company is $15,000,000. The
annual target goals for the net income of the Company for each of
the next five years, as set forth in the employee's Restricted
Stock Award Agreement, and the corresponding Cash Award vesting
percentages, are as follows:
Annual Vesting
Annual Net Income Percentage
Year Levels of the Company for Cash Award
- ---- --------------------- --------------
1992 $2,000,000 10%
1993 2,500,000 15%
1994 3,000,000 20%
1995 3,500,000 25%
1996 4,000,000 30%
Assumption #1:
Assuming that at the end of the first year the Company has
net income of $2,500,000, the annual vesting percentage applied
to the employee's Cash Award would be 10%. The employee would
therefore be paid $1,000 (10% x $10,000), less applicable
withholdings.
Because this is the first year of the five-year Award
period, the Cumulative Net Income would equal $2,500,000. The
Cumulative Vesting Percentage is $2,500,000 ) $15,000,000 =
16.67%. The Cumulative Vested Shares are 16.67% x 2,400 shares =
400. Because no shares previously vested, the total 400 shares
will vest at the end of the first year, and the employee will
receive a stock certificate representing such shares.
Assumption #2:
If, however, at the end of the first year, the Company had a
net income of $1,800,000, no shares of the employee's restricted
stock would vest for that year and none of the Cash Award would
be paid to him.
Assumption #3:
Assume that the Company had net income of $2,500,000 for the
first year, and net losses of $1,000,000 for the second year. No
portion of the employee's restricted stock would vest and no
portion of his Cash Award would be paid in the second year.
If, in the third year, the Company had net income of
$3,250,000, the annual vesting percentage for the Cash Award
would apply, as set forth, at 20%. The employee would therefore
be paid $2,000 (20% x $10,000), less applicable withholdings.
The third-year Cumulative Net Income would equal $4,750,000
($2,500,000 - 1,000,000 + 3,250,000). The Cumulative Vesting
Percentage is $4,750,000 ) $15,000,000 = 31.67%. The Cumulative
Vested Shares are 31.67% x 2,400 shares = 760. Because 400
shares previously vested, an additional 360 shares will vest at
the end of the third year (760 - 400 = 360).
