If the Executive names someone other than the Executive’s spouse as a Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, determine that spousal consent is required to be provided in a form designated by the Plan Administrator, executed by the Executive’s spouse and returned to the Plan Administrator. The Executive’s beneficiary designation shall be deemed automatically revoked if the Beneficiary predeceases the Executive or if the Executive names a spouse as Beneficiary and the marriage is subsequently dissolved. The Executive shall have the right to change a Beneficiary by completing, signing and otherwise complying with the terms of the Beneficiary Designation Form and the Plan Administrator’s rules and procedures.

The Plan Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any distribution of a benefit

shall be a distribution for the account of the Executive and the Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall completely discharge any liability under this Agreement for such distribution amount.

Article 5

5.3		Suicide or Misstatement. No benefit shall be distributed if the Executive commits suicide within two (2) years after the Effective Date, or if an insurance company which issued a life insurance policy covering the Executive and owned by the Bank denies coverage (i) for material misstatements of fact made by the Executive on an application for such life insurance, or (ii) for any other reason.
5.4		Non-compete Provision. The Executive shall forfeit any non-distributed benefits under this Agreement if during the term of this Agreement and within thirty (36) months following a Separation from Service, the Executive, directly or indirectly, either as an individual or as a proprietor, stockholder, partner, officer, director, employee, agent, consultant or independent contractor of any individual, partnership, corporation or other entity (excluding an ownership interest of one percent (1%) or less in the stock of a publicly-traded company):

	(i)		becomes employed by, participates in, or becomes connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any bank, savings and loan or other similar financial institution, as that term is defined in the Gramm-Leach-Bailey Act of 1999, Pub. L. 106-102 that has its main office, a branch office, or conducts any business within a forty (40) mile radius of Mifflintown, Pennsylvania; or
	(ii)		participates in any way in hiring or otherwise engaging, or assisting any other person or entity in hiring or otherwise engaging, on a temporary, part-time or

permanent basis, any individual who was employed by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries during the three (3) year period immediately prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment; or

	(v)		divulges, discloses, or communicates to others in any manner whatsoever, any confidential information of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, to the knowledge of the Executive, including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of customers or prospective customers, of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, as they may have existed from time to time, of work performed or services rendered for any customer, any method and/or procedures relating to projects or other work developed for the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, earnings or other information concerning the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. The restrictions contained in this subparagraph (v) apply to all information regarding the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, regardless of the source who provided or compiled such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all information referred to herein shall not be disclosed unless and until it becomes known to the general public from sources other than the Executive.
	5.4.1		Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of any provision of these restrictions, the Executive recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of these restrictions, the Executive consents to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries entitlement to such ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries rights hereunder and preventing the Executive from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. Nothing

herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries from pursuing any other remedies available to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive. The Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4 hereof are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the protections afforded the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries in Section 5.4 hereof are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4 hereof will not be materially adverse to the Executive’s employment with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.

5.4.2

Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant. It is the intention of the parties that if any restrictive covenant in this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad, then the court should enforce such restrictive covenant to the maximum extent permitted under the law as to area, breadth and duration.

5.5

Change in Control. The forfeiture provision detailed in Section 5.4 hereof shall not be enforceable following a Change in Control.
