Individual Matching Account – For 2008 the Individual Matching Deferral Account will be established at 10% of each individual’s award at Company Threshold level, 25% at Target, and 35% at Optimum.  Performance between points will be interpolated for matching award calculation.

Peer Performance Lever – The above awards are determined by internally established objectives which, at the beginning of the year, represent strong performance relative to peers. During the year overall financial markets and the economy may change. With this change National Penn’s relative peer performance may be better or worse than anticipated. The Committee may increase or decrease the above awards based on that peer performance.  Following are possible guidelines:

·
Top Quartile – no less than target award level
·
Second Quartile – no less than 20% below target award
·
Third Quartile – no more than target award level
·
Fourth Quartile – no more than threshold award level
