NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


(1)  Basis of Presentation

     In the  opinion of  management,  the  financial  information  reflects  all
     adjustments  necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information
     as of June 30, 2002 and  December 31, 2001 and for the three and six months
     ended  June 30,  2002 and 2001 in  conformity  with  accounting  principles
     generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim financial
     statements   should  be  read  in  conjunction   with  Progress   Financial
     Corporation's (the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     December  31,  2001.  Operating  results for the three and six months ended
     June 30, 2002 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be
     expected for any other  interim  period or the entire year ending  December
     31, 2002.  The  Company's  principal  subsidiaries  are Progress  Bank (the
     "Bank"),  Progress  Capital,  Inc.,  Progress  Capital  Management,   Inc.,
     Progress Financial Resources, Inc. and KMR Management, Inc. All significant
     intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

(2)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other Intangible
     Assets"  ("FAS  142").  FAS 142  addresses  the  financial  accounting  and
     requires  new  reporting   disclosures  for  acquired  goodwill  and  other
     intangible  assets, but not those acquired in a business  combination,  and
     for goodwill  and other  intangible  assets after they have been  initially
     recognized in the financial statements.  Goodwill will not be amortized; it
     will be annually  tested for impairment  using specific  guidance under FAS
     142. Other intangible  assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be
     amortized;  they will also be annually tested for impairment using specific
     guidance  under FAS 142.  Intangible  assets that have finite  useful lives
     will continue to be amortized over their useful lives, or the best estimate
     of their  useful  lives.  FAS 142 is required to be applied  starting  with
     fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however, goodwill and other
     intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001 will be subject  immediately
     to the nonamortization and amortization provisions.

     The  Company  adopted  FAS 142 on January 1, 2002 at which time  management
     reviewed the Company's  existing  goodwill of  approximately  $2.0 million,
     reclassified eligible intangible assets and ceased amortizing its goodwill.
     An existing customer-related  intangible asset of $655,000 at the Equipment
     Leasing segment was reclassified out of goodwill. The remaining goodwill at
     the Banking and Other business  segments was tested and no impairment  loss
     was  recognized.  Goodwill  amortization  at the Banking and Other business
     segments  of  approximately  $150,000,  or $99,000  after tax,  will not be
     recognized  in 2002 due to the  adoption  of FAS 142.  However,  during the
     first  quarter  of 2002,  there was a  reduction  in key  personnel  in the
     Company's Other segment resulting in an interim impairment loss of $27,000,
     or $18,000  after tax,  based on the expected  present value of future cash
     flows.  Management  reassessed  the useful  life of the  Equipment  Leasing
     segment   customer-related   intangible   asset  and  adjusted  its  future
     amortization  from a  remaining  twelve-year  straight-line  schedule to an
     accelerated schedule based on the remaining expected future cashflows. This
     schedule results in an amortization of 79% of the asset by the end of 2003.
     The difference between the schedules will result in additional amortization
     expense of approximately $124,000, or $82,000 after tax, during 2002.

     In April 2002,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 ("FAS  145"),  "Rescission  of
     FASB  Statements No. 4, 44 and 64,  Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and
     Technical  Corrections."  FAS 145 rescinds FASB No. 4 "Reporting  Gains and
     Losses from  Extinguishment  of Debt" which  required  all gains and losses
     from  extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material,  classified
     as an extraordinary  item, net of related income tax effect. As a result of
     FAS 145, gains and losses from extinguishments of debt should be classified
     as  extraordinary  items  only if they  meet  the  criteria  of  Accounting
     Principles  Board  Opinion No. 30  "Reporting  the Effects of Disposal of a
     Segment  of  a  Business,  and  Extraordinary,   Unusual  and  Infrequently
     Occurring  Events and  Transactions"("APB  30").  The Board  noted that the
     application of the criteria in ABP 30 requiring the transactions to be both
     unusual in nature and  infrequent  in  occurrence  would  seldom,  if ever,
     require that gains and losses from  extinguishment of debt be classified as
     extraordinary items. The provisions of FAS 145 related to the rescission of
     FAS 4 are  required to be applied in fiscal years  beginning  after May 15,
     2002, with early application encouraged. Any gain or loss on extinguishment
     of debt that was classified as an extraordinary  item in prior periods that
     does not meet the  criteria in APB 30 is required to be  reclassified.  FAS
     145 also rescinds an amendment to FAS 4,  "Extinguishments  of Debt Made to
     Satisfy Sinking-Fund  Requirements" ("FAS 64") and rescinds "Accounting for
     Intangible  Assets of Motor  Carriers"  ("FAS 44"). FAS 145 makes technical
     corrections to existing pronouncements which are not substantive in nature.
     FAS 145 amends  "Accounting  for Leases" ("FAS 13") to require that certain
     lease  modifications  that have economic effects similar to  sale-leaseback
     transactions  be  accounted  for  in  the  same  manner  as  sale-leaseback
     transactions. The provisions of FAS 145 related to FAS 13 are effective for
     transactions   occurring  after  May  15,  2002,  with  early   application
     encouraged and all other  provisions of FAS 145 are effective for financial
     statements  issued  on or  after  May  15,  2002,  with  early  application
     encouraged.



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)


     The Company is adopting FAS 145 as of June 30, 2002 and does not anticipate
     any material  changes to its financial  representation.  In accordance with
     the rescission of FAS 4, the Company has reclassified an extraordinary loss
     on the  extinguishment  of  debt  previously  reported  in the  results  of
     operations for 2001. During December 2001, the Company used current cash on
     hand to prepay $10.0 million in long-term FHLB Advances scheduled to mature
     in 2003.  The  transaction  was  reported  as a net  extraordinary  loss of
     $199,000 (loss of $301,000 gross of a tax benefit of $102,000) or $.03 loss
     per share. The transaction was part the Company's risk management  strategy
     and does not meet the criteria for  classification as an extraordinary item
     in APB 30. Therefore,  for the restated results of operations for 2001, the
     loss of $301,000 on the  extinguishment  of debt has been  reclassified  to
     non-interest  income and the $102,000 tax benefit has been  reclassified to
     income tax expense.

(3)  Office of Thrift Supervision Directive

     During July 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved a resolution to
     comply  with the  terms of a  directive  issued  by the  Office  of  Thrift
     Supervision  ("OTS")  that  requires  the Bank to (i) reduce its lending to
     early stage technology companies;  (ii) increase its leverage capital ratio
     to no less  than 8.0% and its total  risk-basked  capital  ratio to no less
     than 14.0% by April 1, 2002 through gradual compliance;  and (iii) increase
     its valuation allowance and implement improved credit review and monitoring
     programs.  In  addition,  the Company  will not pay cash  dividends  on its
     capital stock until the Bank achieves the required  capital  levels and has
     implemented an acceptable  capital plan. As such, the Company has suspended
     the quarterly  cash  dividend on its common stock and its stock  repurchase
     program  and has  undertaken  measures  to achieve  capital  compliance  as
     promptly as possible. The increased capital levels reflect the Bank's level
     of business lending,  particularly in the technology  sector, and continued
     economic concerns.

     On  February  7,  2002  the OTS  approved  the  Company's  revised  Capital
     Enhancement  Plan and on June 25,  2002 the OTS  agreed to extend the dates
     that the Bank must comply with the targeted  ratio of classified  assets to
     capital. As revised, the Bank's classified assets to capital ratio must not
     exceed 25% on September 30, 2002 and must not exceed 20% on March 31, 2003.
     At June 30,  2002,  the  Bank's  classified  assets  to  capital  ratio was
     approximately  31.5%. The Bank is working  aggressively to reduce the ratio
     and  comply  with the  terms of the  directive,  however,  there  can be no
     assurance that the Bank will be in compliance  with these  requirements  on
     such  dates.  Failure to comply with such  ratios  could  result in the OTS
     taking  further  regulatory  action.  As of June  30,  2002 the Bank was in
     compliance with the revised terms of the OTS directive.

     The Company has achieved the required  capital  levels at the Bank and both
     the  Company  and the Bank  are in full  compliance  with the OTS  approved
     capital plan.

(4)  Subsequent Event

     On July 30, 2002, the Company reinstated its quarterly cash dividend on its
     common  stock.  The cash  dividend of $.05 per share will be paid on August
     23, 2002 to shareholders of record on August 9, 2002.

(5)  Shareholders' Equity

     Common Stock Offering and Repurchase Program
     --------------------------------------------

     On February 11, 2002,  the Company closed a private  placement  offering of
     common stock to accredited  investors of 1,153,330  common shares priced at
     $7.50  a  share,  totaling  $8.6  million,  resulting  in net  proceeds  of
     approximately $8.3 million.

     Under the  Company's  2000 stock  repurchase  program to  repurchase  up to
     285,000 shares, or five percent,  of its outstanding common stock,  149,800
     shares were repurchased as of May 31, 2001. As discussed above, repurchases
     have been suspended  since June 30, 2001.  Future  repurchases  cannot take
     place without the approval of the OTS.

     Capital Resources
     -----------------

     Under the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  Improvement Act of 1991
     specific capital categories were defined based on an institution's  capital
     ratios. To be considered "well  capitalized," an institution must generally
     have a tangible  equity ratio of at least 2%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at
     least  5%,  a Tier 1  risk-based  capital  ratio of at least 6% and a total
     risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%. Under the OTS directive discussed
     above,  the Bank was required to increase its leverage  capital ratio to no
     less  than  8.0% and its total  risk-basked  capital  ratio to no less than
     14.0% by April 1, 2002 through gradual compliance.

     At June 30,  2002,  the Bank's  tangible  equity  ratio was  8.21%,  Tier 1
     leverage ratio was 8.23%, Tier 1 risk-based  capital ratio was 13.97%,  and
     total  risk-based  capital ratio was 15.22%.  As of June 30, 2002, the Bank
     was classified as "well capitalized" and met the leverage capital and total
     risk-based capital ratios under the OTS directive.

(9)  TechBanc Sale

     During January 2002, the Company completed the sale of TechBanc to Comerica
     Bank - California,  a subsidiary of Comerica Incorporated.  Included in the
     sale  were   loans,   deposits   and   warrants   of   certain   TechBanc's
     technology-based   companies.  The  aggregate  fair  value  of  loans  sold
     (including accrued interest receivable) was $25.0 million and deposits sold
     (including  accrued  interest  payable) totaled $46.4 million with net cash
     paid of $21.4 million.  At December 31, 2001, the loans were  classified as
     held for sale and carried at the lower of  aggregate  cost or market  value
     consisting of $23.3 million in commercial  business  loans and $2.3 million

     During 1997, the Company  issued $15.0 million of 10.5% capital  securities
     due June 1, 2027 (the "Capital  Securities").  The Capital  Securities were
     issued by the Company's  subsidiary,  Progress Capital Trust I, a statutory
     business trust created under the laws of Delaware. The Company is the owner
     of all of the common securities of the Trust (the "Common Securities"). The
     Trust issued $15.0 million of 10.5% Capital  Securities  (and together with
     the Common  Securities,  the "Trust  Securities"),  the proceeds from which
     were  used  by  the  Trust,  along  with  the  Company's  $464,000  capital
     contribution for the Common Securities,  to acquire $15.5 million aggregate
     principal  amount of the  Company's  10.5% Junior  Subordinated  Deferrable
     Interest Debentures due June 1, 2027 (the  "Debentures"),  which constitute
     the sole assets of the Trust.  The Company has,  through the Declaration of
     Trust  establishing  the Trust,  Common  Securities and Capital  Securities
     Guarantee  Agreements,  the  Debentures  and  a  related  Indenture,  taken
     together,  irrevocably  and  unconditionally  guaranteed all of the Trust's
     obligations under the Trust Securities.

     In July 2000, the Company issued 6,000 shares, or $6.0 million,  of 11.445%
     trust preferred  securities,  $1,000 liquidation  amount per security,  due
     July 19, 2030 (the "Trust  Preferred  Securities"),  in a private  offering
     managed by First Union  Securities,  Inc.  The Trust  Preferred  Securities
     represent undivided  beneficial interests in Progress Capital Trust II (the
     "Trust II"), a statutory business trust created under the laws of Delaware,
     which was  established  by the Company for the purpose of issuing the Trust
     Preferred   Securities.    The   Company   has   fully,   irrevocably   and
     unconditionally  guaranteed  all of the Trust  II's  obligations  under the
     Trust Preferred Securities.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
          and Results of Operations

The  following  discussion  and analysis of financial  condition  and results of
operations  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  Consolidated
Financial Statements and accompanying notes and with the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31, 2001.  Certain  reclassifications
have been made to prior period data  throughout  the  following  discussion  and
analysis for comparability with 2002 data.

When used in filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
in the Company's  press releases or other public or shareholder  communications,
or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer,
the words or phrases "will likely  result," "are expected to," "will  continue,"
"is anticipated,"  "estimate," "project," or similar expressions are intended to
identify  "forward-looking   statements"  within  the  meaning  of  the  Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain
risks  and  uncertainties  including  changes  in  economic  conditions  in  the
Company's market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies,  fluctuations
in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company's market area and competition
that could cause actual results to differ  materially from  historical  earnings
and those  presently  anticipated  or projected.  The Company  wishes to caution
readers not to place  undue  reliance  on any such  forward-looking  statements,
which speak only as of the date made.  The Company wishes to advise readers that
the factors listed above could affect the Company's  financial  performance  and
could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially
from any opinions or statements  expressed with respect to future periods in any
current statements.


                          CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting   policies  involving   significant   judgments  and  assumptions  by
management,  which have, or could have, a material  impact on the carrying value
of certain  assets and impact  comprehensive  income,  are  considered  critical
accounting policies. The Company recognizes the following as critical accounting
policies:  Allowance  for Loan and Lease Losses,  Goodwill and Other  Intangible
Asset  Impairment,  and Unrealized  Gains and Losses on Debt Securities Held for
Sale.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses: The Company maintains an allowance for loan
and lease losses at a level  management  believes is  sufficient  to provide for
known and inherent  losses in the loan and lease  portfolios  at the Banking and
Equipment  Leasing  segments.  Risks  within  the loan and lease  portfolio  are
analyzed on a continuous basis by the Company's officers,  external  independent
loan and lease review consultants, and on a monthly basis by the Company's Board
of Directors.  Significant  estimates are made by management in determining  the
allowance  for loan and lease  losses.  Consideration  is given to a variety  of
factors in  establishing  these  estimates  including  current  and  anticipated
economic  conditions,   diversification  of  the  loan  portfolio,   delinquency
statistics, results of internal loan reviews, borrowers' perceived financial and
managerial strengths,  the adequacy of underlying collateral,  the dependence on
collateral,  or the strength of the present value of future cash flows and other
relevant factors. Since the allowance for loan and lease losses is dependent, to
a great extent, on general and other conditions that may be beyond the Company's
control,  it is at least reasonably possible that the Company's estimates of the
allowance  for loan and lease losses could differ  materially  in the near term.
Although  management  utilizes its best judgment in providing for loan and lease
losses, there can be no assurance that the Company will not have to increase its
provision for loan and lease losses in the future as a result of adverse  market
conditions,  future increases in  non-performing  loans and leases, or for other
reasons.  Any such increase  could  adversely  affect the  Company's  results of
operations.  In addition,  various regulatory  agencies,  as an integral part of
their examination process,  periodically review the allowance for loan and lease
losses and the carrying value of its other non-performing  assets. Such agencies
may require the Company to recognize additions to its allowance for losses based
on  their  judgments  of  information  available  to them at the  time of  their
examination.

Goodwill and Other  Intangible  Asset  Impairment:  Quoted market prices are not
typically  available in evaluating the Company's  goodwill and other  intangible
assets;  therefore,  the Company  estimates  the fair value of its  goodwill and
other intangible  assets using the present value of estimated future cash flows.
The  Company's  best  estimate  of the  present  value  of  cash  flows  may not
necessarily  equate to the market value of the  underlying  asset.  Goodwill and
other intangible assets are carried by the Banking,  Equipment Leasing and Other
segments.

Unrealized  Gains and  Losses on Debt  Securities  Held for  Sale:  The  Company
receives estimated fair values of debt securities from an independent  valuation
service and brokers.  In developing these fair values, the valuation service and
brokers use estimates of cash flows based on historical  performance  of similar
instruments in similar rate  environments.  Based on  experience,  management is
aware that estimated fair values of debt  securities  tend to vary among brokers
and other valuation  services.  Debt securities held for sale are carried at the
Banking segment and are mostly comprised of mortgage-backed securities.






                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company recognized net income of $907,000,  or diluted earnings per share of
$.13,  for the three months  ended June 30, 2002  compared to a net loss of $1.4
million,  or a $.24 loss per  diluted  share,  for the  second  quarter of 2001.
Return on average  shareholders'  equity was 5.90% and return on average  assets
was .41% for the three months  ended June 30, 2002  compared to losses of 10.57%
and .61%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2001.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $1.7  million,  or diluted
earnings  per share of $.25  compared  to a  $944,000  loss,  or a $.17 loss per
diluted  share,  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2001.  Return on  average
shareholders' equity was 5.63% and return on average assets was .38% for the six
months ended June 30, 2002  compared to losses of 3.66% and .21%,  respectively,
for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Net Interest Income

Tax-equivalent net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 increased
$543,000, or 8% as compared to the first quarter of 2002 and decreased $518,000,
or 6%, as compared to the second  quarter of 2001.  The net interest  margin for
the second  quarter of 2002 was 3.62% compared to 3.53% for the first quarter of
2002 and 3.79% for the  second  quarter  of 2001.  Tax-equivalent  net  interest
income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $1.7 million, or 10%, as
compared to the same period in 2001. The net interest  margin for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 was 3.58% compared to 3.90% for the same period in 2001.

Average  earning  assets for the  second  quarter  of 2002 were  $841.9  million
compared to $858.9 million for the second quarter of 2001 and $825.8 million for
the six months  ended June 30,  2002  compared  to $844.3  million  for the same
period in 2001.  The decline in earning  assets  during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2002 from the  comparable  periods in 2001 was  primarily  due to
lower commercial business loan volume as a result of the TechBanc sale which was
partially   offset  with  higher  levels  of  investments   in   mortgage-backed
securities.  Tax-equivalent  interest  income  for the  second  quarter  of 2002
decreased  $3.4  million,  or 20%,  over the same period in 2001 while  interest
expense  decreased  $2.9  million,  or 33%, for the same period.  Tax-equivalent
interest  income for the six months ended June 30, 2002  decreased $7.7 million,
or 22%,  over the same  period in 2001 while  interest  expense  decreased  $6.0
million, or 33%, for the same period.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The  provision  for loan and lease losses was $1.0 million for the quarter ended
June 30,  2002,  compared  to $3.6  million  for the same  period  in 2001.  The
provision  for loan and lease  losses was $2.4  million for the six months ended
June 30, 2002,  compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2001. The higher
provision  during 2001  reflected  the reserve  additions to address  credit and
economic  concerns  which have been  reduced as a result of the sale of TechBanc
loans to Comerica in January 2002.

At June 30,  2002,  the  allowance  for loan and lease  losses  amounted to $8.0
million or 1.67% of total  loans and  leases and 91.83% of total  non-performing
loans and leases.  At December 31, 2001, the allowance for loan and lease losses
amounted to $9.9 million or 1.87% of total loans and leases and 106.28% of total
non-performing loans and leases.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest  income for the  quarter  ended June 30,  2002 was $3.2  million as
compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2001. The quarter ended June 30,
2002  included a gain on sale of  securities  of $352,000  compared to a loss on
sale of securities  of $21,000 for the same quarter in 2001.  Fee income for the
quarter  decreased  $1.1 million  primarily due to the decline in private equity
fund management fees from the Company's subsidiary, Progress Capital Management,
Inc.  ("PCM") as the Company  exited the  venture  fund  management  business at
December 31, 2001, a reduction in consulting fees from the Company's subsidiary,
KMR  Management,  Inc.  ("KMR")  and a  decrease  in mutual  fund,  annuity  and
insurance  commissions  from  the  Company's   subsidiary,   Progress  Financial
Resources, Inc. ("PFR"). Service charges on deposits amounted to $978,000 during
the second  quarter of 2002 compared to $623,000 for the  comparable  quarter in
2001.  This 57% growth is  primarily  attributable  to the new deposit  products
implemented during the first quarter of 2002. During the second quarter of 2001,
loss in unconsolidated  entities was $551,000,  primarily  relating to a loss on
its  investment in a venture  capital fund,  compared to equity of $6,000 during
the second quarter of 2002.

Non-interest  income for the six months  ended June 30, 2002 was $7.8 million as
compared to $6.3 million for the same period in 2001.  The six months ended June
30, 2002  included  income of $1.5 million  from the sale of client  warrants as
compared to losses of $2.0  million  from  client  warrants  for the  comparable
period in 2001, due to the permanent  impairment of equity  securities  received
from warrants. Gain on sale of securities for the six months ended June 30, 2002
was $352,000 as compared to gain on sale of  securities of $1.2 million for same
period in 2001. Fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $1.8
million




primarily due to the decline in private equity fund  management fees from PCM as
the Company exited the venture fund management business at December 31, 2001 and
a reduction in consulting fees from KMR. Service charges on deposits for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 increased  $624,000 which was primarily  attributable
to the new deposit products implemented during the first quarter of 2002.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest  expense was $8.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002
compared to $9.8  million  for the second  quarter of 2001.  Total  non-interest
expense  was $17.3  million for the six months  ended June 30, 2002  compared to
$19.3 million for same period in 2001.  Salaries and employee benefits decreased
by $1.1  million and $1.7  million  for the three and six months  ended June 30,
2002  from the  comparable  periods  in 2001,  respectively,  mainly  due to the
Company exiting the fund management business,  lower staffing levels at Progress
Leasing  Company and lower  commission  expense for PFR.  Professional  services
expenses  decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 from the
comparable  periods  in  2001  primarily  due to a  reduction  in  the  business
activities  of KMR in 2002 and legal  expenses  related  to loans to  pre-profit
companies during 2001.


                               FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased to $904.0 million at June 30, 2002 from $851.4 million at
December 31, 2001. Loans and leases outstanding,  including loans held for sale,
totaled  $481.5  million at June 30, 2002 compared to $530.5 million at December
31, 2001.  This  decrease  was  primarily  due to the sale of TechBanc  loans to
Comerica  totaling  $25.6  million  during  January 2002,  which were  primarily
commercial  business loans, as well the Asset-Based  Lending sale and payoffs of
commercial  business  loans during the first  quarter of 2002.  Net increases in
mortgage-backed  securities were $104.8 million since year-end  primarily due to
$158.3 million in purchases  partially offset by repayments of $38.3 million and
sales of $17.9 million.  Total deposits  increased to $631.6 million at June 30,
2002 from $629.5  million at December  31, 2001 as a result of $48.3  million in
deposit  growth  during the six months of 2002  partially  offset by the sale of
$46.2 million in deposits to Comerica in January 2002.

Liquidity and Funding

The Company must maintain sufficient  liquidity to meet its funding requirements
for loan and lease commitments,  scheduled debt repayments,  operating expenses,
and deposit  withdrawals.  The Bank is the primary source of working capital for
the Company.

The  Company's  need for liquidity is affected by loan demand and net changes in
retail  deposit  levels.  The Company can minimize the cash required  during the
times of heavy loan demand by  modifying  its credit  policies  or reducing  its
marketing efforts.  Liquidity demand caused by net reductions in retail deposits
are usually  caused by factors over which the Company has limited  control.  The
Company derives its liquidity from both its assets and liabilities. Liquidity is
derived  from  assets  by  receipt  of  interest  and  principal   payments  and
prepayments,  by the  ability to sell assets at market  prices and by  utilizing
unpledged  assets as  collateral  for  borrowings.  Liquidity  is  derived  from
liabilities  by  maintaining  a variety of  funding  sources,  including  retail
deposits, FHLB borrowings and securities sold under agreement to repurchase.

The Company's primary sources of funds have historically  consisted of deposits,
amortization  and  prepayments  of  outstanding   loans,   FHLB  borrowings  and
securities  sold under  agreement  to  repurchase  and sales of  investment  and
mortgage-backed  securities.  During the six months  ended  June 30,  2002,  the
Company  reinvested its working capital primarily by purchasing  mortgage-backed
securities  to maintain its  liquidity.  For the six months ended June 30, 2002,
cash was  provided by operating  activities  primarily  due to net  increases in
other   liabilities   related  to   trade-date   accounting   for  purchases  of
mortgage-backed  securities and net decreases in other assets.  Cash was used in
investing   activities   primarily  due  to  the  purchases  of  mortgage-backed
securities  partially offset by repayments on mortgage-backed  securities.  Cash
was provided by financing  activities primarily due to increases in deposits and
short-term borrowings.

Non-performing  assets  increased  to $13.2  million at June 30, 2002 from $10.9
million at December  31, 2001 and from $8.4  million at June 30,  2001.  The net
increase in non-performing assets since December 31, 2001 was primarily due to a
$2.7 million commercial property classified as other real estate owned. The $8.7
million of  non-accrual  loans at June 30, 2002  consisted  of: $6.2  million of
commercial  business loans,  of which $1.3 million are to pre-profit  companies;
$794,000 of lease  financing;  $840,000  of  commercial  mortgages;  $421,000 of
consumer loans; and $532,000 of single family residential mortgages.

Accruing  loans 90 or more days past due increased from $1.1 million at December
31,  2001 to $1.8  million  at June  30,  2002  primarily  due to net  increased
delinquencies  of commercial  business loans partially offset by the payoff of a
commercial  mortgage  loan.  The $1.8 million of accruing  loans 90 or more days
past due at June 30,  2002  consisted  of $1.8  million of  commercial  business
loans, of which $1.7 million are to pre-profit  companies,  $7,000 of commercial
mortgages, and $2,000 of consumer loans.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in routine legal  proceedings  occurring in the ordinary
course of business which management,  after reviewing the foregoing actions with
legal counsel, is of the opinion that the liability, if any, resulting from such
actions will not have a material effect on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.

On August 29,  2001, a  shareholder's  derivative  action was filed  against the
Company and its directors in the Delaware  Chancery  Court  alleging  failure to
comply with the Home  Owners'  Loan Act,  insider  trading,  and breach of their
fiduciary  duty.  The plaintiff  demands  judgement  against the Company and its
directors  for the amount of damages  sustained  by the Company as result of the
directors'  breaches of fiduciary  duty,  awarding the  plaintiff  the costs and
disbursements  of the  actions,  including  expenses of the lawsuit and granting
such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper. The Company
believes  that  this  action  is  without  merit  and  will  defend  the  action

                                    AGREEMENT

     AGREEMENT,  dated this 23rd day of July 2002,  between  Progress  Financial
Corporation (the "Corporation"), a Delaware-chartered corporation, Progress Bank
(the "Bank"), a federally  chartered savings bank and a wholly-owned  subsidiary
of the Corporation, and W. Kirk Wycoff (the "Executive").

                                                     WITNESSETH

     WHEREAS,  the Executive is presently an officer of the  Corporation and the
Bank (together the "Employers");

     WHEREAS,  the Employers  desire to be ensured of the Executive's  continued
active participation in the business of the Employers;

     WHEREAS,  the Employers  and the Executive  have entered into an employment
agreement dated March 1, 1997 (the "1997 Agreement");

     WHEREAS,  the parties have previously  agreed to certain  amendments to the
1997 Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the parties have determined it is in their best interests to amend
and restate the 1997 Agreement to reflect the prior amendments;

     NOW THEREFORE,  in consideration of the premises and the mutual  agreements
herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1.  Definitions.  The following words and terms shall have the meanings set
forth below for the purposes of this Agreement:

     (a)  Average  Annual   Compensation.   The   Executive's   "Average  Annual
Compensation" for purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to mean the average
level of  compensation  paid to the Executive by the Employers or any subsidiary
thereof  during  the  most  recent  five  taxable  years  preceding  the Date of
Termination,  including  Base Salary and benefits and bonuses under any employee
benefit plans of the Employers.

     (b) Base Salary.  "Base Salary" shall have the meaning set forth in Section
3(a) hereof.

     (c) Cause. Termination of the Executive's employment for "Cause" shall mean
termination because of personal  dishonesty,  incompetence,  willful misconduct,
breach of fiduciary  duty  involving  personal  profit,  intentional  failure to
perform stated duties,  willful  violation of any law, rule or regulation (other
than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final  cease-and-desist order or
material  breach  of any  provision  of this  Agreement.  For  purposes  of this
paragraph,  no act or failure to act on the Executive's part shall be considered
"willful" unless done, or omitted to be




done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the
Executive's action or omission was in the best interest of the Employers.

     (d)  Change in  Control  of the  Corporation.  "Change  in  Control  of the
Corporation"  shall mean 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, as amended  ("Exchange
Act"), or any successor thereto,  whether or not any security of the Corporation
is registered under the Exchange Act; provided that, without limitation,  such a
change in control  shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any "person" (as such
term is used in Sections  13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the
"beneficial  owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),  directly
or indirectly,  of securities of the Corporation representing 25% or more of the
combined voting power of the Corporation's then outstanding securities;  or (ii)
during any period of two consecutive years,  individuals who at the beginning of
such period  constitute the Board of Directors of the Corporation  cease for any
reason to constitute  at least a majority  thereof  unless the election,  or the
nomination for election by stockholders,  of each new director was approved by a
vote of at least  two-thirds  of the  directors  then  still in office  who were
directors at the beginning of the period.

     (e) Code. "Code" shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     (f)  Date of  Termination.  "Date  of  Termination"  shall  mean (i) if the
Executive's  employment  is  terminated  by  the  Employers  for  Cause  or  for
Disability,  the date  specified in the Notice of  Termination,  and (ii) if the
Executive's  employment is terminated for any other reason,  the date on which a
Notice of Termination is given or as specified in such Notice.

     (g) Disability.  Termination by the Employers of the Executive's employment
based on "Disability" shall mean termination  because of death or because of any
physical or mental  impairment  which  qualifies the  Executive  for  disability
benefits  under the  applicable  long-term  disability  plan  maintained  by the
Employers  or, if no such plan  applies,  which would  qualify the Executive for
disability benefits under the Federal Social Security System.

     (h) IRS. "IRS" shall mean the Internal Revenue Service.

     (i) Notice of  Termination.  Any purported  termination of the  Executive's
employment by the Employers for any reason,  including  without  limitation  for
Cause,  Disability or Retirement,  or by the Executive for any reason,  shall be
communicated by written  "Notice of Termination" to the other party hereto.  For
purposes of this Agreement,  a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a dated notice
which (i) indicates the specific termination  provision in this Agreement relied
upon, (ii) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and  circumstances  claimed
to  provide a basis for  termination  of the  Executive's  employment  under the
provision so indicated,  (iii) specifies a Date of  Termination,  which shall be
not less than  thirty  (30) nor more than  ninety (90) days after such Notice of
Termination is given,  except in the case of the  Employers'  termination of the
Executive's  employment for Cause,  and (iv) is given in the manner specified in
Section 10 hereof.






     (j)  Retirement.  "Retirement"  shall  mean  voluntary  termination  by the
Executive in accordance with the Employers' retirement policies, including early
retirement, generally applicable to the Employers' salaried employees.

     2. Term of Employment.

     (a) The  Employers  hereby  employ the  Executive  as  President  and Chief
Executive  Officer of the  Corporation  and the Bank,  and the Executive  hereby
accepts said  employment  and agrees to render such services to the Employers on
the terms  and  conditions  set  forth in this  Agreement.  Unless  extended  as
provided in this Section 2, the term of employment under this Agreement shall be
for three years,  commencing on the date of this  Agreement.  Prior to the first
annual  anniversary  of the date of this  Agreement and each annual  anniversary
thereafter,  the Boards of Directors of the  Employers  shall  consider,  review
(with appropriate corporate documentation thereof, and after taking into account
all  relevant   factors,   including  the  Executive's   performance)   and,  if
appropriate,  explicitly  approve a one-year  extension of the remaining term of
this Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall continue to extend each year if
the Boards of Directors so approve such  extension  unless the  Executive  gives
written  notice to the Employers of the  Executive's  election not to extend the
term,  with such  notice to be given not less than ninety (90) days prior to any
such  anniversary  date. If the Executive gives timely notice that the term will
not be extended as of any annual  anniversary  date, or if the Employers fail to
give  written  notice of their  election to extend as of any annual  anniversary
date,  then this  Agreement  shall  terminate at the conclusion of its remaining
term.  References  herein to the term of this Agreement  shall refer both to the
initial term and successive terms.

     (b) During the term of this  Agreement,  the  Executive  shall perform such
executive  services for the Employers as may be  consistent  with his titles and
from time to time assigned to him by the Employers' Boards of Directors.

     3. Compensation and Benefits.

     (a) The  Employers  shall  compensate  and pay  Executive  for his services
during the term of this  Agreement at a minimum base salary of $500,000 per year
commencing March 1, 2002,  ("Base Salary"),  which may be increased from time to
time in such  amounts as may be  determined  by the Boards of  Directors  of the
Employers  and may not be  decreased  without the  Executive's  express  written
consent.  In addition to his Base  Salary,  the  Executive  shall be entitled to
receive  during  the  term of  this  Agreement  such  bonus  payments  as may be
determined by the Boards of Directors of the Employers.  In that regard, for the
term of the Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in a bonus
plan  whereby he would be  potentially  entitled to receive a bonus  potentially
equal to a maximum of 50% of his Base Salary,  subject to the  accomplishment of
certain goals established or to be established by the Boards of Directors of the
Employers.  In the event that it is determined by the Boards of Directors of the
Employers  that,  with respect to any particular  fiscal year during the term of
the  Agreement,  the  Executive  is  expending  in  excess of 10% of his time on
matters  primarily  related to the business of the Corporation,  the Corporation
and the Bank





     will pay their respective pro rata portion of the Executive's  compensation
with  respect  to such  fiscal  year;  otherwise,  the Bank shall pay all of the
Executive's compensation.

     (b) During the term of this  Agreement,  the Executive shall be entitled to
participate  in and  receive the  benefits  of any  pension or other  retirement
benefit plan, profit sharing, stock option,  employee stock ownership,  or other
plans,  benefits  and  privileges  given  to  employees  and  executives  of the
Employers, to the extent commensurate with his then duties and responsibilities,
as fixed by the Boards of  Directors  of the  Employers,  except  that the bonus
arrangement  set forth in Section 3(a) hereof shall be provided to the Executive
in lieu of any other  bonus plan or  arrangement  given to other  employees  and
executives of the  Employers.  The Employers  shall not make any changes in such
plans,  benefits or  privileges  which would  adversely  affect the  Executive's
rights or benefits  thereunder,  unless such change occurs pursuant to a program
applicable to all  executive  officers of the Employers and does not result in a
proportionately  greater  adverse  change in the  rights of or  benefits  to the
Executive as compared with any other executive officer of the Employers. Nothing
paid to the Executive under any plan or arrangement  presently in effect or made
available in the future  shall be deemed to be in lieu of the salary  payable to
the Executive pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof.

     (c) During the term of this  Agreement,  the Executive shall be entitled to
an annual expense allowance  (exclusive of standard health benefits available to
employees) not to exceed 10.0% of his Base Salary.

     (d) During the term of this  Agreement,  the Executive shall be entitled to
four (4) weeks of paid  annual  vacation  in  accordance  with the  policies  as
established  from time to time by the Boards of Directors of the Employers.  The
Executive  shall be  entitled to receive any  additional  compensation  from the
Employers for failure to take a vacation and shall be able to accumulate  unused
vacation time from one year to the next.

     4.  Expenses.  The  Employers  shall  reimburse  the Executive or otherwise
provide for or pay for all  reasonable  expenses  incurred by the  Executive  in
furtherance of, or in connection with the business of the Employers,  including,
but not by way of limitation, automobile (including costs of leasing, insurance,
repairs,  maintenance, and licensing) and traveling expenses, and all reasonable
entertainment  expenses  (whether incurred at the Executive's  residence,  while
traveling or  otherwise),  subject to such  reasonable  documentation  and other
limitations  as may be  established by the Boards of Directors of the Employers.
If such expenses are paid in the first instance by the Executive,  the Employers
shall reimburse the Executive therefor.

     5. Termination.

     (a) The  Employers  shall have the right,  at any time upon prior Notice of
Termination,  to terminate the Executive's  employment hereunder for any reason,
including without  limitation  termination for Cause,  Disability or Retirement,
and the Executive  shall have the right,  upon prior Notice of  Termination,  to
terminate his employment hereunder for any reason.



     (b) In the event that (i) the  Executive's  employment is terminated by the
Employers  for  Cause  or  Retirement  or  Disability,  or  (ii)  the  Executive
terminates his employment  hereunder  other than in connection  with a Change in
Control of the  Corporation,  the Executive shall have no right pursuant to this
Agreement to  compensation or other benefits for any period after the applicable
Date of Termination except as otherwise provided herein.

     (c) In the event that (i) the  Executive's  employment is terminated by the
Employers for other than Cause, Retirement or Disability or (ii) such employment
is terminated by the Executive (a) due to a material breach of this Agreement by
the Employers,  which breach has not been cured within fifteen (15) days after a
written  notice  of  non-compliance  has  been  given  by the  Executive  to the
Employers,  or (b) at the time of or in  connection  with a Change in Control of
the Corporation,  then the Employers or their successors  shall,  subject to the
provisions of Section 6 hereof, if applicable,  and regardless of whether or not
the Executive is subsequently re-hired by the Employers or their successors,

     (A) pay to the  Executive a cash  severance  amount equal to 2.99 times the
     Executive's Average Annual Compensation, with such amount to be paid at the
     Executive's  election in either a lump sum within five business days of the
     Date of  Termination  or in  thirty-six  (36)  equal  monthly  installments
     beginning  with the first  business day of the month  following the Date of
     Termination, and

     (B)  maintain  and  provide  for a period  ending at the earlier of (i) the
     expiration of the remaining term of employment pursuant hereto prior to the
     Notice  of  Termination  or  (ii)  the  date of the  Executive's  full-time
     employment  by another  employer  (provided  that the Executive is entitled
     under the terms of such  employment  to benefits  substantially  similar to
     those described in this subparagraph (B)), at no cost to the Executive, the
     Executive's continued participation in all group insurance, life insurance,
     health and accident,  disability and other employee benefit plans, programs
     and  arrangements  in which  the  Executive  was  entitled  to  participate
     immediately  prior to the Date of Termination  (other than stock option and
     restricted  stock plans of the Employers),  provided that in the event that
     the  Executive's  participation  in any plan,  program  or  arrangement  as
     provided in this subparagraph (B) is barred, or during such period any such
     plan, program or arrangement is discontinued or the benefits thereunder are
     materially  reduced,  the Employers  shall arrange to provide the Executive
     with  benefits  substantially  similar  to those  which the  Executive  was
     entitled to receive under such plans, programs and arrangements immediately
     prior to the Date of Termination.

     (d) If a Change in Control of the  Corporation  occurs and the  Executive's
employment is not terminated at the time of or in connection with such Change in
Control, but the Executive's  employment is terminated  subsequent to the Change
in Control of the Corporation by either the Executive or the Employers (or their
successors) for any reason other than Cause, Retirement or Disability,  then the
Employers or their  successors  shall,  subject to the  provisions  of Section 6
hereof,  pay to the  Executive  the cash  severance  amount set forth in Section
5(c)(A) hereof and provide the benefits set forth in Section 5(c)(B) hereof on a
pro rata basis as set forth below. The



amount of the cash  severance set forth in Section  5(c)(A)  hereof and the time
period set forth in Section  5(c)(B) hereof shall each be reduced by a fraction,
the  numerator of which is the number of days the  Executive was employed by the
Employers or their successors subsequent to the date of the Change in Control of
the  Corporation,  and the  denominator  of which is the  total  number  of days
remaining in the Executive's  term of employment as of the date of the Change in
Control of the Corporation.

     (e) In the event of the failure by the Employers to elect or to re-elect or
to appoint or to re-appoint  the Executive to the offices of President and Chief
Executive  Officer of the  Corporation and the Bank or a material change made by
the  Employers  in the  Executive's  functions,  duties or  responsibilities  as
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and President and Chief
Executive  Officer of the Bank without the Executive's  express written consent,
the Executive shall be entitled to terminate his employment  hereunder and shall
be entitled,  subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, to the payments and
benefits provided for in Section 5(c)(A) and (B).

     6. Limitation of Benefits under Certain Circumstances.  If the payments and
benefits  pursuant  to Section 5 hereof,  either  alone or  together  with other
payments  and  benefits  which the  Executive  has the right to receive from the
Employers,  would  constitute a "parachute  payment"  under  Section 280G of the
Code,  the payments and benefits  pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall be reduced,
in the manner  determined by the Executive,  by the amount, if any, which is the
minimum  necessary to result in no portion of the  payments  and benefits  under
Section 5 being  non-deductible  to either of the Employers  pursuant to Section
280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the
Code. The determination of any reduction in the payments and benefits to be made
pursuant to Section 5 shall be based upon the opinion of independent tax counsel
selected  by the  Employers'  independent  public  accountants  and  paid by the
Employers.  Such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Employers and the
Executive;  shall promptly prepare the foregoing opinion,  but in no event later
than thirty (30) days from the Date of  Termination;  and may use such actuaries
as such counsel deems necessary or advisable for the purpose.  In the event that
the  Employers  and/or  the  Executive  do not agree  with the  opinion  of such
counsel,  (i) the Employers  shall pay to the  Executive  the maximum  amount of
payments and benefits pursuant to Section 5, as selected by the Executive, which
such opinion  indicates that there is a high probability do not result in any of
such payments and benefits being  non-deductible to the Employers and subject to
the imposition of the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code and (ii)
the Employers may request, and the Executive shall have the right to demand that
the Employers request, a ruling from the IRS as to whether the disputed payments
and  benefits  pursuant  to Section 5 hereof  have such  consequences.  Any such
request for a ruling from the IRS shall be  promptly  prepared  and filed by the
Employers,  but in no event  later  than  thirty  (30) days from the date of the
opinion of counsel  referred to above,  and shall be subject to the  Executive's
approval  prior  to  filing,  which  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld.  The
Employers  and the Executive  agree to be bound by any ruling  received from the
IRS and to make appropriate  payments to each other to reflect any such rulings,
together  with interest at the  applicable  federal rate provided for in Section
7872(f)(2) of the Code.  Nothing contained herein shall result in a reduction of
any payments or benefits to which the Executive may be entitled upon termination
of employment under any





circumstances  other than as  specified in this Section 6, or a reduction in the
payments and benefits specified in Section 5 below zero.

     7. Mitigation; Exclusivity of Benefits.

     (a) Except as set forth in Section 5(c)(B) hereto,  the Executive shall not
be required to mitigate  the amount of any benefits  hereunder by seeking  other
employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any such benefits be reduced by
any  compensation  earned by the  Executive as a result of employment by another
employer after the Date of Termination or otherwise.

     (b) The  specific  arrangements  referred  to herein  are not  intended  to
exclude  any other  benefits  which may be  available  to the  Executive  upon a
termination of employment with the Employers  pursuant to employee benefit plans
of the Employers or otherwise.

     8. Withholding. All payments required to be made by the Employers hereunder
to the Executive  shall be subject to the  withholding of such amounts,  if any,
relating to tax and other payroll  deductions  as the  Employers may  reasonably
determine should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

     9.  Assignability.  The Employers may assign this  Agreement and its rights
and obligations hereunder in whole, but not in part, to any corporation, bank or
other entity with or into which the Employers may hereafter merge or consolidate
or to which the Employers may transfer all or  substantially  all of its assets,
if in any such case said corporation, bank or other entity shall by operation of
law or expressly in writing assume all obligations of the Employers hereunder as
fully as if it had been  originally  made a party hereto,  but may not otherwise
assign this Agreement or its rights and obligations hereunder. The Executive may
not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder.

     10.  Notice.  For the  purposes  of this  Agreement,  notices and all other
communications  provided for in this Agreement  shall be in writing and shall be
deemed  to have been duly  given  when  delivered  or  mailed  by  certified  or
registered mail,  return receipt  requested,  postage prepaid,  addressed to the
respective addresses set forth below:

         To the Employers:          Progress Financial Corporation
                                    Progress Bank
                                    4 Sentry Parkway, Suite 230
                                    Blue Bell, Pennsylvania  19422

         To the Executive:          W. Kirk Wycoff
                                    875 Lantern Lane

     11.  Amendment;  Waiver.  No provisions of this  Agreement may be modified,
waived or discharged unless such waiver,  modification or discharge is agreed to
in writing and signed by



the Executive and such officer or officers as may be specifically  designated by
the Boards of Directors of the Employers to sign on their  behalf.  No waiver by
any party  hereto at any time of any  breach by any other  party  hereto  of, or
compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by
such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or
conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

     12.   Governing  Law.  The  validity,   interpretation,   construction  and
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States
where  applicable and otherwise by the substantive  laws of the  Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.

     13. Nature of Obligations. Nothing contained herein shall create or require
the  Employers to create a trust of any kind to fund any  benefits  which may be
payable  hereunder,  and to the extent  that the  Executive  acquires a right to
receive  benefits from the Employers  hereunder,  such right shall be no greater
than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Employers.

     14.  Headings.  The section  headings  contained in this  Agreement are for
reference  purposes  only  and  shall  not  affect  in any  way the  meaning  or
interpretation of this Agreement.

     15. Validity.  The invalidity or  unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement  shall  not  affect  the  validity  or  enforceability  of  any  other
provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

     16.   Counterparts.   This  Agreement  may  be  executed  in  one  or  more
counterparts,  each of which shall be deemed to be an original  but all of which
together will constitute one and the same instrument.

     17. Regulatory Actions. The following provisions shall be applicable to the
parties  to the extent  that they are  required  to be  included  in  employment
agreements  between a savings  association and its employees pursuant to Section
563.39(b) of the Regulations  Applicable to all Savings Associations,  12 C.F.R.
ss.563.39(b), or any successor thereto, and shall be controlling in the event of
a  conflict  with any  other  provision  of this  Agreement,  including  without
limitation Section 5 hereof.

     (a) If the Executive is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited
from  participating in the conduct of the Employers'  affairs pursuant to notice
served under Section 8(e)(3) or Section 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act  ("FDIA")(12  U.S.C.   ss.ss.1818(e)(3)  and  1818(g)(1)),   the  Employers'
obligations  under this Agreement  shall be suspended as of the date of service,
unless  stayed by  appropriate  proceedings.  If the  charges  in the notice are
dismissed, the Employers may, in their discretion:  (i) pay the Executive all or
part of the  compensation  withheld while its  obligations  under this Agreement
were suspended,  and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations
which were suspended.

     (b) If the Executive is removed from office and/or  permanently  prohibited
from  participating in the conduct of the Employers'  affairs by an order issued
under Section 8(e)(4) or





Section  8(g)(1)  of the FDIA  (12  U.S.C.  ss.ss.1818(e)(4)  and  (g)(1)),  all
obligations  of the Employers  under this  Agreement  shall  terminate as of the
effective  date  of the  order,  but  vested  rights  of the  Executive  and the
Employers as of the date of termination shall not be affected.

     (c) If the Bank is in  default,  as defined in Section  3(x)(1) of the FDIA
(12 U.S.C. ss.1813(x)(1)),  all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate
as of the date of default,  but vested rights of the Executive and the Employers
as of the date of termination shall not be affected.

     (d) All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to 12
C.F.R.  ss.563.39(b)(5)  (except  to  the  extent  that  it is  determined  that
continuation  of the Agreement  for the continued  operation of the Employers is
necessary):  (i) by the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), or
his/her designee, at the time the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")
or the  Resolution  Trust  Corporation  enters  into  an  agreement  to  provide
assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority  contained in Section
13(c) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. ss.1823(c)); or (ii) by the Director of the OTS, or
his/her  designee,  at the time the  Director  or  his/her  designee  approves a
supervisory  merger to resolve problems related to operation of the Bank or when
the Bank is  determined by the Director of the OTS to be in an unsafe or unsound
condition,  but vested  rights of the Executive and the Employers as of the date
of termination shall not be affected.

     18.  Regulatory  Prohibition.  Notwithstanding  any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary,  any payments made to the Executive  pursuant to this
Agreement,  or otherwise,  are subject to and conditioned  upon their compliance
with  Section  18(k)  of the  FDIA  (12  U.S.C.ss.1828(k))  and any  regulations
promulgated thereunder.
