Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(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, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The 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, 2002. Operating results for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim
period or the entire year ending December 31, 2003. Earnings per share
have been adjusted to reflect all stock dividends and prior period
amounts have been reclassified when necessary to conform with current
period classification. The Company's subsidiaries are Progress Bank
(the "Bank"), Progress Capital, Inc., Progress Financial Resources,
Inc., KMR Management, Inc., and Progress Capital Management, Inc. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities". FAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under FAS 133.
The amendments in FAS 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that
contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly.
The Statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an
initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative in FAS
133. In addition, FAS 149 clarifies when a derivative contains a
financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of
cash flows. FAS 149 amends certain other existing pronouncements. FAS
149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30,
2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June, 30, 2003. The
provisions of FAS 149 that relate to FAS 133 Implementation issues that
have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15,
2003, are to be applied in accordance with their respective effective
dates. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to its
financial representation as a result of adopting FAS 149.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS 150, "Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and
Equity". FAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and
measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both
liabilities and equity. The Statement requires that an issuer classify
a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an
asset in some circumstances). Many of these instruments were previously
classified as equity. FAS 150 requires an issuer to classify the
following instruments as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances):
1) mandatorily redeemable shares, which the issuing company is
obligated to buy back in exchange for cash or other assets 2) put
options and forward purchase contracts that require or may require the
issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other
assets 3) obligations that can be settled with shares, the monetary
value of which is fixed, tied solely or predominantly to a variable
such as a market index, or varies inversely with the value of the
issuers' shares. Disclosures are required about the terms of the
instruments and settlement alternatives. FAS 150 does not apply to
features embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative in
its entirety. The Statement is effective for all financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective
at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15,
2003. For private companies, mandatorily redeemable financial
instruments are subject to the provisions of this Statement for the
fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2003. During the fourth
quarter of 2002, the Company reclassified its capital securities to
debt and the related expense from non-interest expense to interest on
borrowings.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46,
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB
No. 51" ("FIN 46"). FIN 46 provides a new framework for identifying
variable interest entities ("VIEs") and determining when a company
should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests and
results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial
statements. FIN 46 is effective immediately for VIEs created after
January 31, 2003 and is effective beginning in the third quarter of
2003 for VIEs created prior to the issuance of the interpretation. The
adoption of the provisions of FIN 46 will have no material impact on
the Company's financial condition or results of operations, earnings
per share or cash flows.
(3) Shareholders' Equity
Common Stock Offering and Repurchase Program
--------------------------------------------
On February 11, 2002, the Company issued 1,153,330 shares of common
stock at $7.50 a share in a private placement offering to accredited
investors, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $8.2 million.
Under the Company's 2002 stock repurchase program to repurchase up to
200,000 shares, or five percent, of its outstanding common stock,
50,000 shares were repurchased during 2002 and 150,000 shares were
repurchased during 2003. On February 26, 2003, the Company announced a
new stock repurchase program to repurchase up to 335,000 shares, or
five percent, of it outstanding common stock; 211,178 shares were
repurchased as of June 30, 2003.

Pro Forma Stock Based Compensation
----------------------------------
The Company accounts for its stock options under the recognition and
measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. No stock-based
compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted
had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying
common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the
effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied
the fair value recognition provision of FASB Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based employee
compensation.

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, 2002. Earnings per share have been
adjusted to reflect all stock dividends and certain reclassifications have been
made to prior period data throughout the following discussion and analysis for
comparability with 2003 data.
This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
estimates. When used in filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, in the Company's press releases or other public or shareholder

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 or 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, Stock-Based Compensation, and Unrealized Gains and Losses on Debt
Securities Available for Sale. There have not been any material changes in the
Company's critical accounting policies since December 31, 2002. Further
descriptions of the Company's critical accounting policies can be found in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Pro-forma data associated with Stock-Based Compensation for the current quarter
can be found in Footnote 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements included as Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 VERSUS 2002
The Company recognized net income of $2.4 million, or diluted earnings per share
of $.33, for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $907,000, or $.13
per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2002. Return on average
shareholders' equity was 14.65% and return on average assets was .86% for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 5.90% and .41%, respectively, for
the three months ended June 30, 2002.
Net Interest Income
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2003
increased $1.1 million, or 16%, compared to the second quarter of 2002. The
tax-equivalent net interest margin for the second quarter of 2003 was 3.10%
compared to 3.35% for the second quarter of 2002.
Average earning assets for the second quarter of 2003 were $1.05 billion
compared to $841.9 million for the second quarter of 2002. The increase in
earning assets for the second quarter of 2003 from the comparable period in 2002
was primarily due to higher levels of investments in mortgage-backed securities.
The Company also experienced significant increases in tax-exempt municipal
securities and consumer, commercial real estate and construction loans.
Tax-equivalent interest income for the second quarter of 2003 increased
$807,000, or 6%, over the same period in 2002 primarily due to tax-exempt
municipal securities and commercial real estate loans. Interest expense for the
second quarter of 2003 decreased $309,000, or 5%, over the same period in 2002
primarily due to lower interest rates on time deposits.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
The provision for loan and lease losses was $500,000 for the second quarter of
2003, compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2002. The higher provision
during 2002 was primarily due to charge-offs in the TechBanc portfolio (which
was subsequently sold) and the reserve additions to address credit and economic
concerns which have now been reduced as a result of the reduction in the
Company's classified assets.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2003 was $3.6 million, an increase
of 12% compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2002. Gain on sale of
securities was $723,000 for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $352,000
during the same quarter in 2002. Although total fee income for the second
quarter of 2003 remained level with the same quarter in 2002, increases in loan
brokerage and advisory fees of $339,000 were offset by decreases in consulting
fees from the Company's subsidiary KMR Management, Inc. ("KMR") of $128,000 and
decreases in service charges on deposits of $111,000.
Non-interest Expense
Total non-interest expense was $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2003,
level with the second quarter of 2002. During the second quarter of 2003 the
Company recognized non-recurring expenses of approximately $240,000 associated
with the sale of the Bank's leasing subsidiary Progress Holdings, Inc. ("PHI")
to an independent third party leasing company, which closed in July 2003. These
non-recurring expenses and increases in salaries and employee benefits were
offset by decreases in occupancy and recurring professional services expenses.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 VERSUS 2002
The Company recognized net income of $3.8 million, or diluted earnings per share
of $.53, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $1.7 million, or
$.24 per diluted share, for the same period in 2002. Return on average
shareholders'equity was 11.75% and return on average assets was .71% for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 5.63% and .38%, respectively, for the six
months ended June 30, 2002.
Net Interest Income
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003
increased $2.1 million, or 15%, compared to the same period in 2002. The
tax-equivalent net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was
3.06% compared to 3.30% for the same period in 2002.
Average earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $1.03 billion
compared to $825.8 million for the same period in 2002. The increase in earning
assets for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from the comparable period in 2002
was primarily due to higher levels of investments in mortgage-backed securities.
The Company also experienced significant increases in tax-exempt municipal
securities and consumer, commercial real estate and construction loans.
Tax-equivalent interest income for the six month ended June 30, 2003 increased
$1.5 million, or 6%, over the same period in 2002 primarily due to
mortgage-backed and tax-exempt municipal securities and commercial real estate
loans. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased
$580,000, or 4%, over the same period in 2002 primarily due to lower interest
rates on time deposits.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
The provision for loan and lease losses was $1.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2003, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2002. The
higher provision during 2002 was primarily due to charge-offs in the TechBanc
portfolio (which was subsequently sold) and the reserve additions to address
credit and economic concerns which have now been reduced as a result of the
reduction in the Company's classified assets.
At June 30, 2003, the allowance for loan and leases losses amounted to $7.2
million or 1.36% of total loans and leases and 142.45% of total non-performing
loans and leases. At December 31, 2002, the allowance for loan and leases losses
amounted to $6.5 million or 1.39% of total loans and leases and 118.65% of total
non-performing loans and leases.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $6.4 million, a
decrease of 17% compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2002. This
decrease was the result of a variety of factors, including, among others, a
decline in client warrant income. The six months ended June 30, 2003 included
client warrant income of $197,000 compared to $1.5 million during the same
period in 2002. Fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 decreased
$594,000 primarily due to a decrease in mutual fund, annuity and insurance
commissions from the Company's subsidiary, Progress Financial Resources, Inc.
("PFR"), and a reduction in consulting fees from the Company's subsidiary, KMR,
partially offset by an increase in loan brokerage and advisory fees. Gain on
sale of securities was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003
compared to $352,000 during the same period in 2002.
Non-interest Expense
Total non-interest expense was $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2003, a decrease of 6% compared to the same period in 2002. During the six
months ended June 30, 2003 the Company recognized non-recurring expenses of
approximately $240,000 associated with the sale of the Bank's leasing subsidiary
Progress Holdings, Inc. ("PHI") to an independent third party leasing company,
which closed in July 2003. These non-recurring expenses were offset by decreases
in salaries and employee benefits and other expenses. Salaries and employee
benefits decreased by $378,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from the
comparable period in 2002, mainly due to decreased commission volume for PFR.
Other expenses decreased $591,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003
primarily due to recoveries of real estate owned expenses during 2003 and
decreased expenses related to real estate owned and loan workouts and the
write-off an uncollectible receivable from a client of KMR during the first
quarter of 2002.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2003 from $1.0 billion at
December 31, 2002. Loans and leases outstanding totaled $532.1 million at June
30, 2003 compared to $465.8 million at December 31, 2002. This increase was
primarily due to net growth in the consumer loans of $28.0 million, commercial
real estate loan portfolio of $25.9 million and in the construction loan
portfolio of $24.0 million. Investments and mortgage-backed securities increased
$36.5 million primarily due to net increases in municipal bonds of $26.8 million
and mortgage-backed securities of $10.1 million. Total deposits increased to
$740.9 million at June 30, 2003 from $691.5 million at December 31, 2002
primarily due to net increases in money market accounts of $36.5 million.
Liquidity and Funding
The Company must maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its funding requirements
for loan 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
is 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 agreements 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, 2003, the
Company reinvested its working capital primarily by funding loan growth and
purchasing municipal securities; working capital provided by sales and
repayments of mortgage-backed securities was reinvested by purchasing additional
mortgage-backed securities to maintain its liquidity. For the six months ended
June 30, 2003, cash was used in investing activities primarily due to funding
loan growth; cash was provided by financing activities primarily due to
increases in money market deposits and long-term borrowings.

Non-performing assets of $5.1 million at June 30, 2003 decreased from $5.4
million at December 31, 2002 as additions of loans and leases to non-accrual
status were more than offset by payments and charge-offs on non-accrual loans
and leases. Non-performing assets decreased from $13.2 million at June 30, 2002
primarily due to principal payments, charge-offs and a net decrease in real
estate owned of $4.5 million. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the
Company had no real estate owned. The $5.1 million in non-performing loans and
leases at June 30, 2003 primarily consisted of: $3.9 million in commercial
business loans (of which $2.4 million were Asset-based loans and $150,000 were
TechBanc loans); $411,000 of lease financings; $158,000 of commercial real
estate loans; $410,000 of consumer loans; and $205,000 of single family
residential mortgages.
Accruing loans 90 or more days past due increased to $1.4 million at June 30,
2003 from $918,000 at December 31, 2002 primarily due to a commercial real
estate loan. The $1.4 million of accruing loans 90 or more days past due at June
30, 2003 consisted primarily of: $340,000 of commercial business loans and $1.1
million of commercial real estate loans.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
For information regarding market risk, see the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, Item 7A, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2003. The market risk of the Company has
not experienced any significant changes as of June 30, 2003 from the Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") and the Company's Chief
Operating and Chief Financial Officer (the "COO/CFO") have evaluated the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and the COO/CFO have concluded that
the disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There were no significant
changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, or in other
factors, that could significantly affect these controls during the most recent
fiscal quarter.
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.
In June 2003, a civil suit was filed by the U.S. Small Business Administration
("SBA") as receiver for Acorn Technology Fund, L.P. ("Acorn"), a Small Business
Investment Company, against the Bank. In October 2001, the Bank acquired two
branches, including deposits and loans, from Main Street Bancorp, Inc. One of
the loans purchased was a $2.0 million term loan to Princeton Technology
Management LLC ("PTM"), due May 31, 2002 and collateralized by a $2.0 million
certificate of deposit in the name of Acorn. During the second quarter of 2002,
the loan to PTM matured and the Bank used the proceeds from the certificate of
deposit held as collateral to satisfy the loan. The SBA alleges that the general
partner of Acorn lacked the authority to pledge Acorn's assets as collateral for
PTM and that the Bank wrongfully deprived Acorn of its property by apply the
funds from the certificate of deposit as payment on the loan. The SBA seeks the
recovery of $2.0 million that it deems was wrongfully transferred to the Bank.
The Bank denies any liability and is currently preparing its response to this
civil suit.
Item 2. Changes in Securities
None.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
None.

AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT, dated this 30th day of June 2003, between Progress Financial
Corporation (the "Corporation"), a Delaware corporation and the parent holding
company of Progress Bank (the "Bank"), a federally chartered savings bank, 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 July 23, 2002 (the "2002 Agreement");
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")
Regulatory Handbook, the Corporation and the Bank desire to enter into separate
agreements with the Executive with respect to his employment by each of the
Employers; and
WHEREAS, the Corporation desires to have this new Agreement supersede the
2002 Agreement;
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, bonuses, any other taxable income, including
but not limited to directors' fees and income related to the exercise of stock
options, as well as profit sharing, employee stock ownership plan and other
retirement contributions or benefits (whether or not taxable) made or accrued on
the Executive's behalf pursuant to any tax-qualified or non-tax-qualified plan
or arrangement.
(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

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 Corporation 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 Corporation 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 Corporation's 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 Corporation hereby employs the Executive as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Corporation, and the Executive hereby accepts said
employment and agrees to render such services to the Corporation 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 Board
of Directors of the Corporation 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 Board of Directors
so approves 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 Corporation fails to give written notice
of its 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 Corporation as may be consistent with his titles and
from time to time assigned to him by the Corporation's Board 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 July 1, 2003, ("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 and benefits with respect to such fiscal year; otherwise, the Bank
shall pay all of the Executive's compensation and benefits.
(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 Corporation 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 Corporation 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 Corporation.
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, with the Executive to provide
documentation of the expenses at such times and in such manner as may be
reasonably requested by the Boards of Directors of the Employers.
(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 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 Corporation 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
Corporation 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
Corporation 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 Corporation, 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 Corporation, or (b) at the time of or in connection with a
Change in Control of the Corporation, then the Corporation or its successors
shall, and regardless of whether or not the Executive is subsequently re-hired
by the Corporation or its 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,
(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 Corporation 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, and
(C) provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments or benefits
provided by the Bank pursuant to Sections 5(c)(A) and (B) of the
Executive's employment agreement with the Bank of even date (the "Bank
Agreement"), as reduced by Section 6 of the Bank Agreement, shall be
subtracted from the payments or benefits to be provided by the
Corporation pursuant to this Section 5(c).
(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 either of the Employers
(or their successors) for any reason other than Cause, Retirement or Disability,
then the Corporation or its successors shall 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, in
each case as reduced by Section 5(c)(C) hereof. The amount of the cash severance
set forth in Section 5(c)(A) hereof, as reduced by Section 5(c)(C) 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 either of 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
5(c)(C) hereof, to the payments and benefits provided for in Section 5(c)(A) and
(B).
6. Tax Indemnification.
(a) If the payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement, either alone
or together with other payments and benefits which the Executive has the right
to receive from the Corporation and its subsidiaries (including, without
limitation, the payments and benefits which the Executive would have the right
to receive from the Bank pursuant to Section 5 of the Bank Agreement), would
constitute a "parachute payment" as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code
(the "Initial Parachute Payment"), then the Corporation shall pay to the
Executive, at the time such payments or benefits are paid and subject to
applicable withholding requirements, a cash amount equal to the sum of the
following:
(i) twenty (20) percent (or such other percentage equal to the tax
rate imposed by Section 4999 of the Code) of the amount by which the
Initial Parachute Payment exceeds the Executive's "base amount" from the
Corporation and its subsidiaries, as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the
Code, with the difference between the Initial Parachute Payment and the
Executive's base amount being hereinafter referred to as the "Initial
Excess Parachute Payment";
(ii) such additional amount (tax allowance) as may be necessary to
compensate the Executive for the payment by the Executive of state and
federal income and excise taxes on the payment provided under clause (i)
above and on any payments under this clause (ii). In computing such tax
allowance, the payment to be made under clause (i) above shall be
multiplied by the "gross up percentage" ("GUP"). The GUP shall be
determined as follows:
Tax Rate
GUP = -----------
1- Tax Rate
The Tax Rate for purposes of computing the GUP shall be the highest
marginal federal and state income and employment-related tax rate (including
Social Security and Medicare taxes), including any applicable excise tax rate,
applicable to the Executive in the year in which
the payment under clause (i) above is made, and shall also reflect the phase-out
of deductions and the ability to deduct certain of such taxes.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it shall subsequently be determined
in a final judicial determination or a final administrative settlement to which
the Executive is a party that the actual excess parachute payment as defined in
Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code is different from the Initial Excess Parachute
Payment (such different amount being hereafter referred to as the "Determinative
Excess Parachute Payment"), then the Company's independent tax counsel or
accountants shall determine the amount (the "Adjustment Amount") which either
the Executive must pay to the Corporation or the Corporation must pay to the
Executive in order to put the Executive (or the Corporation, as the case may be)
in the same position the Executive (or the Corporation, as the case may be)
would have been if the Initial Excess Parachute Payment had been equal to the
Determinative Excess Parachute Payment. In determining the Adjustment Amount,
the independent tax counsel or accountants shall take into account any and all
taxes (including any penalties and interest) paid by or for the Executive or
refunded to the Executive or for the Executive's benefit. As soon as practicable
after the Adjustment Amount has been so determined, the Corporation shall pay
the Adjustment Amount to the Executive or the Executive shall repay the
Adjustment Amount to the Corporation, as the case may be.
(c) In each calendar year that the Executive receives payments of benefits
that constitute a parachute payment, the Executive shall report on his state and
federal income tax returns such information as is consistent with the
determination made by the independent tax counsel or accountants of the
Corporation as described above. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold the
Executive harmless from any and all losses, costs and expenses (including
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, interest, fines and penalties)
which the Executive incurs as a result of so reporting such information. The
Executive shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing whenever the
Executive receives notice of the institution of a judicial or administrative
proceeding, formal or informal, in which the federal tax treatment under Section
4999 of the Code of any amount paid or payable under this Section 6 is being
reviewed or is in dispute. The Corporation shall assume control at its expense
over all legal and accounting matters pertaining to such federal tax treatment
(except to the extent necessary or appropriate for the Executive to resolve any
such proceeding with respect to any matter unrelated to amounts paid or payable
pursuant to this Section 6) and the Executive shall cooperate fully with the
Corporation in any such proceeding. The Executive shall not enter into any
compromise or settlement or otherwise prejudice any rights the Corporation may
have in connection therewith without the prior consent of the Corporation.
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 Corporation
hereunder to the Executive shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts,
if any, relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Corporation may
reasonably determine should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or
regulation.
9. Assignability. The Corporation 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 Corporation may hereafter merge or
consolidate or to which the Corporation 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
Corporation 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.

Exhibit 10.2
AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT, dated this 30th day of June 2003, between Progress Bank (the
"Bank"), a federally chartered savings bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Progress Financial Corporation (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 July 23, 2002 (the "2002 Agreement");
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")
Regulatory Handbook, the Corporation and the Bank desire to enter into separate
agreements with the Executive with respect to his employment by each of the
Employers; and
WHEREAS, the Bank desires to have this new Agreement supersede the 2002
Agreement;
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, bonuses, any other taxable income, including
but not limited to directors' fees and income related to the exercise of stock
options, as well as profit sharing, employee stock ownership plan and other
retirement contributions or benefits (whether or not taxable) made or accrued on
the Executive's behalf pursuant to any tax-qualified or non-tax-qualified plan
or arrangement.
(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 Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank's 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 Bank hereby employs the Executive as President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Bank, and the Executive hereby accepts said employment and agrees
to render such services to the Bank 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 Board of Directors of the
Bank 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 Board of Directors so approves 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 Bank
fails to give written notice of its 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 Bank as may be consistent with his titles and from
time to time assigned to him by the Bank's Board 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 July 1, 2003, ("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 Bank 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 Bank 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 Bank. 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, with the Executive to provide
documentation of the expenses at such times and in such manner as may be
reasonably requested by the Boards of Directors of the Employers.
(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 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 Bank 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
Bank 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
Bank 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 Bank, 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 Bank, or
(b) at the time of or in connection with a Change in Control of the Corporation,
then the Bank or its 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 Bank or its 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 Bank 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 either of the Employers
(or their successors) for any reason other than Cause, Retirement or Disability,
then the Bank or its 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 either of 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 the Bank 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 Bank's independent public accountants and paid by the Employers. Such
counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Bank 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. 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 Bank hereunder to
the Executive shall be subject to the withholding of such amounts, if any,
relating to tax and other payroll deductions as the Bank may reasonably
determine should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
9. Assignability. The Bank 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 Bank may hereafter merge or consolidate or
to which the Bank 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 Bank 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:

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 Board of Directors of the Bank to sign on its
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 Bank 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 Bank hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right
of any unsecured general creditor of the Bank.
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

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.
563.39(b), or any successor thereto, and shall be controlling in the event of a

this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by

from participating in the conduct of the Ban's affairs by an order issued under

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. 1813(x)(1)), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as

continuation of the Agreement for the continued operation of the Bank is
necessary): (i) by the Director of the OTS, or his/her designee, at the time the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") enters into an agreement to
provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in

Exhibit 10.3
CHANGE IN CONTROL AND TERMINATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT made as of this 15th day of April, 2003, by and between
PROGRESS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (the "Company"), a Pennsylvania business
corporation and Michael B. High ("Executive").
WHEREAS, the Executive is presently serving as Chief Operating Officer and
Chief Financial Officer of the Company; and Progress Bank.
WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly
held corporations, the possibility of a change in control of the Company exists
and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise
among management, may result in the departure or distraction of key management
personnel to the detriment of the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company has determined that appropriate steps should be taken
to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of key members
of the Company's management to their assigned duties without distraction and
with a view to enhancing the Company's long term shareholder interests in the
event of a change in control of the Company; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the
Company, the Company agrees that the Executive shall receive the compensation
and benefits set forth in this Agreement as a cushion against the financial and
career impact on the Executive in the event the Executive's employment with the
Company is terminated subsequent to a "Change of Control" (as defined in Section
4 hereof) of the Company.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby
agree as follows.
1. Term of Agreement.
(a) This Agreement shall be effective as of the date first set
forth above ("Effective Date") and shall be for a term
ending on the fifth anniversary of the Effective date.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 (a) of this
Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate automatically as
of the effective date of termination of the Executive's
employment, and the Executive shall not be entitled to any
payments or benefits hereunder, upon termination by the
Company of the Executive's employment for Cause. As used in

held corporations, the possibility of a change in control of the Company exists
and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise
among management, may result in the departure or distraction of key management
personnel to the detriment of the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company has determined that appropriate steps should be taken
to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of key members
of the Company's management to their assigned duties without distraction and
with a view to enhancing the Company's long term shareholder interests in the
event of a change in control of the Company; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Executive to remain in the employ of the
Company, the Company agrees that the Executive shall receive the compensation
and benefits set forth in this Agreement as a cushion against the financial and
