Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Effective as of January 1, 1995, Fox Chase Bank (“Employer”) adopted the Fox Chase Bank 401(k) Retirement Plan (“Prior Plan”).

Effective as of July 1, 2006, the Employer adopted resolutions wherein RSGroup Trust Company (“RTC”) was named successor trustee and the Trust Agreement between the Employer and RTC (“Trust Agreement”) was adopted.

Effective as of July 1, 2006, the Prior Plan is amended and restated in its entirety. The amended and restated plan shall be known as Fox Chase Bank 401(k) Retirement Plan (“Plan”), shall contain the terms and conditions set forth herein, and shall in all respects be subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement which are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

The Plan as amended and restated hereunder incorporates a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”).

The Plan shall constitute a profit-sharing plan within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code, without regard to current or accumulated profits of the Employer, as provided in Section 401(a)(27) of the Code.

The Plan complies with all Internal Revenue Service legislation and regulations issued to date, including the requirements of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (“EGTRRA”), as provided for under Internal Revenue Service Notice 2001-57, final regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9), IRS procedural guidance (Notice 2005-5) addressing required “automatic rollovers” under Section 401(a)(31)(B) of the Code and provides for Roth Contributions under Code Section 402A.

As of July 1, 2006, Roth Contributions have not been implemented and are not available under the Plan.

Subject to any amendments that may subsequently be adopted by the Employer prior to his Termination of Service, the provisions set forth in this Plan shall apply to an Employee who is in the employment of the Employer on or after July 1, 2006. Except to the extent specifically required to the contrary under the terms of this Plan, for terminations of employment prior to July 1, 2006, the rights and benefits of a former participant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Prior Plan as in effect on the date of the former participant’s termination of employment.

The Employer has herein restated the Plan with the intention that (a) the Plan shall at all times be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, (b) the Trust Agreement shall be tax-exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code, and (c) Employer contributions under the Plan shall be tax deductible under Section 404 of the Code. The provisions of the Plan and the Trust Agreement shall be construed to effectuate such intentions.

If the Annual Additions to a Participant’s Accounts for a Limitation Year exceed the limitations set forth in subsection (d) above at the end of a Limitation Year, such excess amounts shall not be treated as Annual Additions in such Limitation Year but shall instead be treated in accordance with the following:

(i)

such excess amounts shall be used to reduce the Elective Contributions, Matching Contributions and/or Special Contributions to be made on behalf of such Participant in the succeeding Limitation Year, provided that such Participant is an Eligible Employee during such succeeding Limitation Year. If such Participant is not an Eligible Employee or ceases to be an Eligible Employee during such succeeding Limitation Year, any remaining excess amounts from the preceding Limitation Year shall be allocated during such succeeding Limitation Year to each Participant then actively participating in the Plan. Such allocation shall be in proportion to the Elective Contributions made to date on his behalf for such Limitation Year, or the prior Limitation Year with respect to an allocation as of the beginning of a Limitation Year, before any other contributions are made in such succeeding Limitation Year; or

(ii)

such excess amounts may be reduced by the distribution of such Participant’s Elective Contributions to such Participant.

The Employer will, at the end of the Limitation Year in which such excess amounts were made, choose the manner in which to treat such excess amounts on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis on behalf of all affected Participants. If such excess amounts are reduced by the distribution described in subsection (ii), the amounts of such distribution shall not be taken into account for purposes of Sections 3.2(a)(i) and (ii), 3.7(a) and (b), or in determining the limitation in Section 3.2(b). In addition, any Matching Contributions attributable to such amounts shall constitute Forfeitures as described in Section 4.2.

4.2

Forfeitures

If a Participant who is not fully vested in the Net Value of his Accounts terminates employment, the Trust Fund Units representing the nonvested portion of his Accounts shall constitute Forfeitures. Forfeitures shall be treated as Matching Contributions and shall be applied to reduce the amount of subsequent Matching Contributions otherwise required to be made. In no event shall Forfeitures be allocated to a Participant’s Roth Contribution Account.

With respect to a Participant’s Matching Contribution Account, anything in Section 4.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Matching Contribution forfeited in accordance with the sixth paragraph of Section 3.2(a), the second paragraph of Section 3.2(c), the fifth paragraph of Section 3.7 or the second paragraph of Section 3.11(f), shall be applied to reduce the amount of subsequent Matching Contributions otherwise required to be made.

The reinstated amount shall be unadjusted by any gains or losses occurring subsequent to the Participant’s termination of employment and prior to repayment of such distribution. Any forfeited amounts required to be reinstated hereunder shall be made by an additional Employer contribution for such Plan Year. If such former Participant does not repay the full amount of his distribution in cash or cash equivalents before the end of the five (5) consecutive One Year Periods of Severance commencing with the date of distribution, the Net Value of his Accounts as of the date he previously terminated employment shall not be reinstated.

If a former Participant who is not fully vested in the Net Value of his Accounts elects to defer distribution of his vested account interest, the nonvested portion of such former Participant’s Account shall be forfeited as of the date of his Termination of Service; provided, however, that if such former Participant is reemployed before incurring five (5) consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, the nonvested portion of his Accounts shall

be reinstated in its entirety, unadjusted by any gains or losses occurring subsequent to the distribution.

(b)

For the purpose of determining a Participant’s vested interest in the Net Value of his Matching Contribution Account:

(i)

if an Employee is not vested in any Matching Contributions, incurs a One Year Period of Severance and again performs an Hour of Service, such Employee shall receive credit for his Periods of Service prior to his One Year Period of Severance only if the number of consecutive One Year Periods of Severance is less than the greater of: (A) five (5) years or (B) the aggregate number of his Periods of Service credited before his One Year Period of Severance.

(ii)

if a Participant is partially vested in any Matching Contributions, incurs a One Year Period of Severance and again performs an Hour of Service, such Participant shall receive credit for his Periods of Service prior to his One Year Period of Severance; provided, however, that after five (5) consecutive One Year Periods of Severance, a former Participant’s vested interest in the Net Value of the Matching Contribution Account attributable to Periods of Service prior to his One Year Period of Severance shall not be increased as a result of his Periods of Service following his reemployment date.

Notwithstanding this consent requirement, if the Participant establishes to the satisfaction of the Plan representative that such written consent cannot be obtained because there is no Spouse or the Spouse cannot be located, the consent hereunder shall not be required. Any consent necessary under this provision shall be valid only with respect to the Spouse who signs the consent.

The designation of a Beneficiary who is other than a Participant’s Spouse and the designation of any contingent Beneficiary shall be made in writing by the Participant in the form and manner prescribed by the Committee and shall not be effective unless filed prior to the death of such person. If more than one person is designated as a Beneficiary or a contingent Beneficiary, each designated Beneficiary in such Beneficiary classification shall have an equal share unless the Participant directs otherwise. For purposes of this Section 7.7, “person” includes an individual, a trust, an estate, or any other person or entity designated as a Beneficiary.

If a Participant dies before his entire vested interest in the Net Value of his Accounts has been distributed to him, the remainder of such vested interest shall be paid to his Beneficiary or, if applicable, his contingent Beneficiary, in a lump sum distribution as soon as practicable following the date of the Participant’s death.

Article XII —

Top-Heavy Plan Provisions

(n)

A “Top-Heavy Plan” means a Plan in which, for any Plan Year:

(i)

the Top-Heavy Ratio (as defined under subsection (o)) for the Plan exceeds sixty percent (60%) and the Plan is not part of any Required Aggregation Group (as defined under subsection (k)) or Permissive Aggregation Group (as defined under subsection (h)); or

(ii)

the Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group but is not part of a Permissive Aggregation Group and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the group of plans exceeds sixty percent (60%); or

(iii)

the Plan is a part of a Required Aggregation Group and part of a Permissive Aggregation Group and the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Permissive Aggregation Group exceeds sixty percent (60%).

(o)

“Top-Heavy Ratio” means:

(i)

if the Employer maintains one or more qualified defined contribution plans and the Employer has not maintained any qualified defined benefit plans which during the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date have or have had accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for the Plan alone or for the Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group, as appropriate, is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Account balances under the aggregated defined contribution plan or plans for all Key Employees as of the Determination Date, including any part of any Account balance distributed in the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date but excluding distributions attributable to Related Rollover Contributions, if any, and the denominator of which is the sum of all Account balances under the aggregated qualified defined contribution plan or plans for all Participants as of the Determination Date, including any part of any Account balance distributed in the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date but excluding distributions attributable to Related Rollover Contributions, if any, determined in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

(ii)

if the Employer maintains one or more qualified defined contribution plans and the Employer maintains or has maintained one or more qualified defined benefit plans which during the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date have or have had any accrued benefits, the Top-Heavy Ratio for any Required Aggregation Group or Permissive Aggregation Group, as appropriate, is a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Account balances under the aggregated qualified defined contribution plan or plans for all Key Employees, determined in accordance with (i) above, and the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits under the aggregated qualified defined benefit plan or plans for all Key Employees as of the Determination Date, and the denominator of which is the sum of

Article XII —

Top-Heavy Plan Provisions

Account balances under the aggregated qualified defined contribution plan or plans determined in accordance with (i) above, for all Participants and the sum of the Present Value of Accrued Benefits under the aggregated qualified defined benefit plan or plans for all Participants as of the Determination Date, all determined in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. The accrued benefits under a qualified defined benefit plan in both the numerator and denominator of the Top-Heavy Ratio are adjusted for any distribution of an accrued benefit made in the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date.

(iii)

For purposes of (i) and (ii) above, the value of Account balances and the Present Value of Accrued Benefits will be determined as of the most recent Valuation Date that falls within the twelve (12) month period ending on the Determination Date, except as provided in Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder for the first and second Plan Years of a qualified defined benefit plan. The Account balances and Present Value of Accrued Benefits of a Participant (A) who is a Non-Key Employee but who was a Key Employee in a prior year, or (B) who has not been credited with at least an Hour of Service with any employer maintaining the Plan at any time during the five (5) year period ending on the Determination Date will be disregarded. The calculation of the Top-Heavy Ratio, and the extent to which distributions, rollovers, and transfers are taken into account will be made in accordance with Section 416 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. When aggregating plans, the value of Account balances and the Present Value of Accrued Benefits will be calculated with reference to the Determination Date that falls within the same calendar year.

(p)

“Valuation Date”, for the purpose of computing the Top-Heavy Ratio (as defined under subsection (o)) under subsections (l) and (n) means the last date of the Plan Year.

For purposes of subsections (h), (j) and (k), the rules of Sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) of the Code shall be applied in determining the meaning of the term “Employer”.

12.3

Minimum Contributions

If the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan, then any provision of Article III to the contrary notwithstanding, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)

Subject to subsection (b), the Employer shall contribute on behalf of each Participant who is employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year and who is a Non-Key Employee an amount with respect to each Top-Heavy year which, when added to the amount of Special Contributions and Forfeitures made on behalf of such Participant, shall not be less than the lesser of: (i) three percent (3%) of such Participant’s Section 415 Compensation (as defined under Section

Article XII —

Top-Heavy Plan Provisions

3.13(a)(v) of the Plan and modified by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code), or (ii) if the Employer has no defined benefit plan which is designated to satisfy Section 416 of the Code, the largest of the total of each Key Employee’s Matching Contributions, Before-Tax Contributions, Special Contributions, Roth Contributions, if implemented, upon approval by the Employer and Forfeitures, as a percentage of each such Key Employee’s Top-Heavy Earnings; provided, however, that in no event shall any contributions be made under this Section 12.3 in an amount which will cause the percentage of contributions made by the Employer on behalf of any Participant who is a Non-Key Employee to exceed the percentage at which contributions are made by the Employer on behalf of the Key Employee for whom the percentage of the total of Matching Contributions, Before-Tax Contributions, Special Contributions, Roth Contributions, if any and Forfeitures, is highest in such Top-Heavy year. Any such contribution shall be allocated to the Matching Contribution Account of each such Participant and, for purposes of vesting and withdrawals only, shall be deemed to be a Matching Contribution. Any such contribution shall not be deemed to be a Matching Contribution for any other purpose.

(b)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.3 shall not apply to any Participant to the extent that such Participant is covered under any other plan or plans of the Employer (determined in accordance with Sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) of the Code) and such other plan provides that the minimum allocation or benefit requirement will be met by such other plan should this Plan become Top-Heavy. If such other plan does not provide for a minimum allocation or benefit requirement, a minimum of five percent (5%) of a Participant’s Section 415 Compensation, as defined in Section 12.3(a) above, shall be provided under this Plan.

(c)

For purposes of this Article XII, the following shall be considered as a contribution made by the Employer:

(i)

Qualified Nonelective Contributions;

(ii)

Matching Contributions made by the Employer on behalf of Key Employees; and

(iii)

Elective Contributions made by the Employer on behalf of Key Employees.

(d)

Subject to the provisions of subsection (b), all Non-Key Employee Participants who are employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year shall receive the defined contribution minimum provided under subsection (a). A Non-Key Employee may not fail to accrue a defined contribution minimum merely because such Employee was excluded from participation or failed to accrue a benefit because (i) his Compensation is less than a stated amount, or (ii) he failed to make

Article XII —

Top-Heavy Plan Provisions

Before-Tax Contributions and/or Roth Contributions, if implemented, upon approval by the Employer.

(e)

Employer contributions, if any, shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Section 416(c)(2) of the Code and this Section 12.3. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to Matching Contributions or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, such other plan. Employer contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be treated as Employer contributions for purposes of the Actual Contribution Percentage test and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code, if applicable.

12.4

Impact on Section 415 Maximum Benefits

If a Non-Key Employee is entitled to a minimum contribution under Section 12.3(b), the Plan shall not be treated as a Super Top-Heavy Plan under this Section 12.4, if the minimum contribution satisfies Section 12.3(b) when seven and one-half percent (7-1/2%) is substituted for five percent (5%).

12.5

Vesting

If the Plan becomes a Top-Heavy Plan, then, notwithstanding Section 4.1(c), the Vested Percentage of a Participant who has at least one (1) Hour of Service with the Employer after the Plan becomes Top-Heavy shall not be less than the following Vested Percentage of his accrued benefit, determined in accordance with the following table:


Period of Service		Vested Percentage
Less than 2 years		0%
2 years but less than 3 years		20%
3 years but less than 4 years		40%
4 years but less than 5 years		60%
5 years but less than 6 years		80%
6 years or more		100%

Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, each Participant with at least a Period of Service of three (3) years with the Employer shall at all times have his vested percentage computed under the greater of the provisions of this Section 12.5 or the provisions of Section 4.1(c).

For those Plan Years in which the Plan ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan, the vesting schedule shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1(c), except that the vested percentage of a Participant’s accrued benefit before the Plan ceased to be a Top-Heavy Plan shall not be reduced.
