including the Executive's performance hereunder) extension of the
term under this Agreement, and the term shall continue to extend in
the manner set forth above unless either the Board of Directors does
not approve such extension and provides written notice to the

of the Corporation and does not result in a proportionately
greater adverse change in the rights of or benefits to Executive
as compared with any other executive officer of the Corporation.
Nothing paid to 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 Executive pursuant to Section

entitled to said medical insurance after attaining age 72.
(f) The Employers shall pay for or reimburse Executive with

of the Executive's death for a period equal to the period then

the Executive with benefits substantially similar to those

plans, programs and arrangements immediately prior to the
Date of Termination.

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

the offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation and the Savings Bank or a material adverse change
made by the Employers in the Executive's functions, duties or
responsibilities as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the
Corporation and the Savings Bank without the Executive's express
written consent, the Executive shall be entitled to terminate his
employment hereunder and shall be entitled to the payments and
benefits provided for in Section 5(c)(A) and (B); however, such
termination shall not otherwise constitute a material breach of
this Agreement by the Corporation.
6. Payment of Additional Benefits under Certain Circumstances.
(a) 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
(including, without limitation, the payments and benefits which
the Executive would have the right to receive from the Savings
Bank pursuant to Section 5 of the Agreement between the Savings
Bank and the Executive dated as of the date hereof (the "Savings
Bank Agreement"), before giving effect to any reduction in such
amounts pursuant to Section 6 of the Savings Bank Agreement),
would constitute a "parachute payment" as defined in Section
280G(b)(2) of the Code (the "Initial Parachute Payment," which
includes the amounts paid pursuant to clause (A) below), then the
Corporation shall pay to the Executive, in thirty-six (36) equal
monthly installments beginning with the first business day of the
month following the Date of Termination or in a lump sum within
five business days of
8
the Date of Termination (at the Executive's election), a cash amount
equal to the sum of the following:
(A) the amount by which the payments and benefits that
would have otherwise been paid by the Savings Bank to the
Executive pursuant to Section 5 of the Savings Bank
Agreement are reduced by the provisions of Section 6 of the
Savings Bank Agreement;
(B) 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 Employers, 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"; and
(C) 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 (B) above and on any
payments under this clause (C). In computing such tax
allowance, the payment to be made under clause (B) 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 (B) 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 "Final Excess Parachute Payment"), then the
Corporation'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 Final 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.
9
(c) In each calendar year that the Executive receives
payments of benefits under this Section 6, 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) 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 employers 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.
10. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices
and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall

subsequent time.

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.

create or require the Corporation 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 Corporation hereunder, such right shall be no greater
than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the
Corporation.

more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original but all of which together will constitute one and the

no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained
in this Agreement shall affect the agreement of even date being
entered into between the Savings Bank and the Executive.
