In order to induce the Executive to execute this Addendum and to be bound by its terms, including the provisions contained herein at Section 2, and to remain in the employment with the Bank and Bancorp through the date of the merger of Bancorp and Norwood (“Merger Date”), and to commence employment with Norwood as of the Merger Date and to remain employed with Norwood thereafter, Norwood shall make the following additional payments to the Executive as follows:

For purposes of this Addendum, “Competition” means becoming an employee, an officer, a director, a consultant, an agent, partner, an advisory director, a founder or a shareholder or other equity holder (other than acquisitions of not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding capital stock of, or a similar equity interest in, a corporation or other entity) or in any other capacity with any business organization that is doing business or intends to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the counties of Lackawanna, Wayne, Pike and Monroe and that is engaged or intends to engage in the provision of financial services to the public, including, but not limited to, accepting retail or commercial deposit accounts, making loans or offering trust services, commercial banking, mortgage banking or lease financing, by business entities, including but not necessarily limited to commercial banks, savings associations, trust companies, credit unions and parent companies and subsidiary companies of such business entities (collectively, “Financial Services Companies”).
