Exhibit 10.8

FOX CHASE BANK

EMPLOYEE SEVERANCE COMPENSATION PLAN

(as amended and restated effective January 1, 2012)

1.                                      Effective Date

The Fox Chase Bank Employee Severance Compensation Plan was originally approved by the Board of Directors of Fox Chase Bank (the “Bank”) as a general severance policy for all eligible employees effective October 5, 2005.  The policy was later approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision in connection with the Bank’s mutual holding company reorganization and amended and restated in its entirety into the Fox Chase Bank Employee Severance Compensation Plan.  Effective January 1, 2012, the Fox Chase Bank Employee Severance Compensation Plan was subsequently amended and restated in its entirety (the “Plan”) to reflect the Bank’s second step conversion and clarify certain terms and conditions of the Plan.

2.                                      Purpose

The purpose of this Plan is to:  (a) provide management with guidelines to ensure fair and consistent treatment of Employees when employment is terminated by the Bank for any reason other than Termination for Cause or a Change in Control; and (b) to assure the Bank of the services of Covered Employees in the event of a Change in Control by providing Covered Employees who are terminated voluntarily or involuntarily within one (1) year of a Change in Control with severance benefits.  For purposes of paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b) hereof, this Plan is intended solely as a guideline for management and is not intended as a contractual commitment on the part of the Bank to any Employee.  Unless otherwise stated, all capitalized terms noted herein are defined in Section 3 of this Plan.

3.                                      Definitions

a.                                      “Base Compensation” means and includes all regular weekly cash wages or weekly salary, but excludes bonuses, commissions and any other compensation, if any, paid or accrued as consideration for an Employee’s service to the Bank.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of Employees paid solely on a commission basis, “Base Compensation” shall include commissions earned up to $50,000 per annum.  In the case of an hourly Employee or a part-time Employee, “Base Compensation” shall be determined by reference to compensation earned during the Employee’s average weekly work schedule during the 30 days preceding the termination date.

b.                                      “Change in Control” means the occurrence of one of the following events:

(a)                                 Merger:  The Company merges into or consolidates with another entity, or merges another entity into the Company and, as a result, less than a

majority of the combined voting power of the resulting entity immediately after the merger or consolidation is held by persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately before the merger or consolidation;

(b)                                 Change in Board Composition:  During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who constitute the Company’s Board of Directors at the beginning of the two-year period cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (b) each director who is first elected by the Board (or first nominated by the Board for election by stockholders) by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors who were directors at the beginning of the two-year period shall be deemed to have also been a director at the beginning of the two-year period; or

(c)                                  Acquisition of Significant Share Ownership:  There is filed, or required to be filed, a report on Schedule 13D or another form or schedule (other than Schedule 13G) required under Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if the schedule discloses that the filing person or persons acting in concert has or have become the beneficial owner(s) of 25% or more of a class of the Company’s voting securities, however this clause (c) shall not apply to beneficial ownership of Company voting shares held in a fiduciary capacity by an entity of which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more of its outstanding voting securities.

(d)                                 Sale of Assets: The Company sells to a third party all or substantially all of its assets.

c.                                       “Comparable Position” shall mean a position that would (i) provide a Covered Employee with Base Compensation that is comparable to those provided to the Covered Employee prior to the Change in Control; (ii) be in a location that would be more than thirty (30) miles from the Employee’s place of employment at the Bank or Company immediately prior to the Change in Control; and (iii) have job skill requirements and duties that are comparable to the requirements and duties of the position held by the Covered Employee prior to the Change in Control.

d.                                      “Company” means Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation.

e.                                       “Covered Employee” means any full-time or part-time employee of the Bank or any subsidiary of the Bank that has worked at least one (1) year with the Bank or subsidiary as of his or her termination date.

f.                                        “Employee” means any full-time or part-time employee of the Bank or any subsidiary of the Bank; provided, however, that any individual who is covered or

2

hereinafter becomes covered by an employment contract shall not be considered to be an “Employee” for purposes of this Plan.

g.                                       “Termination for Cause” shall include termination because of an Employee’s personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, any 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 Employee’s personal violation of any final cease-and desist order.  In determining incompetence, the acts or omissions shall be measured against standards generally prevailing in the financial services industry.

h.                                      “Year of Service” means each 12-month period of service following an Employee’s date of hire.  The taking of a leave of absence shall not eliminate a period of time from being a Year of Service if the period of time otherwise qualifies as a Year of Service.  A “leave of absence” means (i) the taking of an authorized or approved leave of absence under the provisions of the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), (ii) any state law providing qualitatively similar benefits as the FMLA, or (iii) a leave of absence authorized under the policies of the Bank.

c.                                       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum benefit payable to an Employee paid under this Plan, including Bank-paid COBRA Benefits, as applicable, shall not exceed an amount equal to fifty-two weeks of Base Compensation, less one dollar.

8.                                     Amendment or Termination

This Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time by a written resolution of the Board of Directors of the Bank, in its sole discretion.  Except however, with respect to the

b.                                      The Bank may terminate an Employee’s employment at any time, but any termination by the Bank, other than Termination for Cause, shall not prejudice the Employee’s right to compensation or other benefits under this Plan.  An Employee shall not have the right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after Termination for Cause.

c.                                       If an Employee is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(3) or (g)(1); the Bank’s obligations under this Plan shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings.  If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the Bank may in its discretion:  (i) pay the Employee all or part of the compensation withheld while their contract obligations were

6

suspended; and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of the obligations which were suspended.

d.                                      If an Employee is removed and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(4) or (g)(1), all obligations of the Bank under this Plan shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the Plan participants shall not be affected.

e.                                       If the Bank is in default as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §1813(x)(1), all obligations of the Bank under this Plan shall terminate as of the date of default, but this paragraph shall not affect any vested rights of the Plan participants.

f.                                        All obligations under this Plan shall be terminated, except to the extent determined that continuation of the Plan is necessary for the continued operation of the Bank: (i) by the Director of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “Comptroller”) (or his designee), at the time the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or the Resolution Trust Corporation enters into an agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority contained in Section 13(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 U.S.C. §1823(c); or (ii) by the Director of the OCC (or his designee) at the time the Director (or his designee) approves a supervisory merger to resolve problems related to the operations of the Bank or when the Bank is determined by the Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition.  Any rights of the participants that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by such action.

g.                                       Any payments made to Employees pursuant to this policy, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with 12 U.S.C. §1828(k) and FDIC regulation 12 C.F.R. Part 359, Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments.
