RETIREMENT PLAN

        The Abington Bank Board of Trustees Retirement Plan which was approved and adopted as of January 8, 1992, and amended as of January 10, 1996 and February 20, 2002, is hereby amended and restated as of October 16, 2002.

W I T N E S S E T H

        WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of Abington Bank has previously determined that establishment of a retirement plan to reward those persons who serve as trustees of Abington Bank by providing compensation upon their retirement from the Board of Trustees is in the best interest of Abington Bank, its customers and the communities which it serves; and

        WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of Abington Bank has previously established a retirement plan for trustees, and the Chief Executive Officer of Abington Bank has previously agreed to administer the Plan.

        NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the Board of Trustees and the Chief Executive Officer agree as follows:

        I. Disclaimer

        This is a non-qualified pension plan created at the discretion of the Board of Trustees for the benefit of Trustees of Abington Bank. The benefits established under this Plan may be modified or terminated by the Board at which time the balance of the Trust Fund, if any, will be retained by Abington Bank.

    II.

    III.
    ELIGIBILITY

        A Trustee is not eligible for any benefits under this Plan until the Trustee retires from the Board after reaching age seventy-five and completing his or her term as a Trustee, except as set forth below. There is no minimum years of service required to participate in the Plan. There are no benefits under this Plan for a Trustee who retires or leaves, voluntarily or involuntarily, before age seventy-five and completing his or her term as a Trustee; provided, however, in the event a Trustee dies while serving as a Trustee, he or she shall be deemed to have satisfied the service requirement to age seventy-five and shall be entitled to the benefit provided for in Section IV of the Plan.

    IV.
    AMOUNT OF RETIREMENT BENEFIT

        After retiring from the Board, an annual benefit equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the trustee fee paid in the year of retirement (on an annualized basis) shall be payable for a period of ten



(10) years (i.e., ten years continuous). The Bank shall pay the annual benefit in equal semi-annual installments. In the event a Trustee dies prior to receiving twenty (20) semi-annual installment payments, the Trustee's designated beneficiary(ies), or the Trustee's estate in the event there is no surviving beneficiary, shall be entitled to receive the remaining semi-annual installment payments until the Trustee and such beneficiary(ies) or estate have received a total of twenty (20) semi-annual installment payments. If a Trustee dies while serving as a member of the Board of Trustees, the Trustee's designated beneficiary(ies), or the Trustee's estate in the event there is no surviving beneficiary, shall be entitled to receive the present value of the Trustee's accrued retirement benefit at the date of death, payable as a lump sum.

        The Board of Trustees shall fund the Trust Fund, at its discretion, by annual deposits of Seven Thousand Five Hundred ($7,500.00) Dollars in an interest-bearing account or such other investment as the Executive Committee of the Bank, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Members of the Board of Trustees shall have no vested interest in the Trust Fund.

    VI.
