2.1.1 Amount of Benefit. The annual benefit under this Section 2.1 is equal to the product of (i) 27.5%, times (ii) the sum of (A) the highest total annualized base salary(ies) paid to the Executive by PSB and its majority-owned subsidiaries during the four (4) year period ending on the date of his Termination of Employment, plus (B) the highest total annual bonus(es) paid to the Executive by such entities with respect to any one of the four (4) full calendar years immediately preceding the year of his Termination of Employment. In the event the Executive continues in the employ of PSB beyond his Normal Retirement Age, the annual benefit determined in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be increased by five percent (5%) for each full year that his employment continues beyond his Normal Retirement Age. For purposes of this Section 2.1.1 and Section 2.2.1, only base salary and annual bonus are intended to be included for purposes of the required benefit calculations, so that compensation resulting from stock-based awards, director fees and other remuneration not generally considered salary or bonus shall be excluded.
2.1.2 Payment of Benefit. PSB shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments commencing on the first day of the month following the Executives Normal Retirement Date and continuing on the first day of the month for the 239 months that follow; provided, however, that in the event of his death prior to the payment of all of his benefit, the relevant provision of Article 3 shall apply.

2.2.1 Amount of Benefit. The annual benefit under this Section 2.2 is equal to the product of (i) 27.5%, times (ii) the sum of (A) the highest total annualized base salary(ies) paid to the Executive by PSB and its majority-owned subsidiaries during the four (4) year period ending on the date of Early Termination, plus (B) the highest total annual bonus(es) paid to the Executive by such entities with respect to any one of the four (4) full calendar years immediately preceding the year of the date of Early Termination, times (iii) 11%, times (iv) the number of full years that have elapsed from the date of this Agreement to the date of Early Termination. The provisions of this section are subject to the last sentence of Section 2.1.1.
2.2.2 Payment of Benefit. PSB shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments commencing on the first day of the month following the Executives Normal Retirement Age and continuing on the first day of the month for the 239 months that follow; provided, however, that in the event of his death prior to the payment of all of his benefit, the relevant provision of Article 3 shall apply.

PSB shall pay the annual benefit to the Executive in 12 equal monthly installments commencing on the first day of the month following his Termination of Employment and continuing on the first day of the month for the 239 months that follow; provided, however, that in the event of his death prior to the payment of all of his benefit, the relevant provision of Article 3 shall apply.

2.4.1 Amount of Benefit. The benefit under this Section 2.4 is equal to the present value of the product of (i) the Normal Retirement Benefit determined in the same manner described in Section 2.1.1, but by treating the date of the occurrence of the Change in Control as the Executives Normal Retirement Date (whether or not he terminates employment at such time), times (ii) two (2). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the present value of the Executives benefit shall be determined by (i) using a discount factor of 4% per annum, (ii) assuming 240 monthly payments would otherwise be made, and (iii) discounting the flow of assumed payments to the date of the Change in Control, but
4
by assuming that such monthly payments would have commenced the first day of the month following the attainment of Executives Normal Retirement Age.
2.4.2 Payment of Benefit. PSB shall pay the benefit, determined under Section 2.4.1, in one lump sum, within 30 days after the date it is determined with certainty that the last sentence of Section 1.1 will not become operative. In the event of the Executives death prior to payment of the lump sum benefit, his death shall not operate to reduce the amount payable (under Section 3 or otherwise), and it shall be paid to his beneficiary at the otherwise relevant time.

3.1.2 Payment of Benefit. PSB shall pay the amount described in Section 3.1.1 to the Executives beneficiary, in one lump sum, on the date that he would have attained his Normal Retirement Age had he not died.
3.2 Death During Payment of Benefit. If the Executive dies after any benefit payments have commenced under this Agreement, but before receiving all such payments, PSB shall pay to the Executives beneficiary an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (A) the annual benefit he was receiving at the time of his death, times (B) ten (10), minus (ii) the sum of the benefits paid to him hereunder through the date of his death. Any such excess shall be paid to such beneficiary, in one lump sum, no later than 30 days after proof of the Executives death is submitted to PSB.
3.3 Death After Termination of Employment But Before Payment of a Retirement Benefit Commences. If the Executives employment terminates after having accrued benefits under this Agreement, but he dies prior to commencement of the payment of such benefits, PSB shall pay to the Executives beneficiary an amount equal to the annual benefit to which he would have been entitled had he not died, times ten (10). Such amount shall be paid to such beneficiary, in one lump sum, on the date that the Executive would have been paid his first benefit installment had he not died.
3.4 Limitations. All benefits payable under this Article 3 shall be subject to the provisions contained in Article 5 of this Agreement.
5
Article 4
Beneficiaries
4.1 Beneficiary Designations. The Executive shall designate a beneficiary by filing a written designation with PSB. The Executive may revoke or modify the designation at any time by filing a new designation. However, designations will only be effective if signed by the Executive and received by PSB during the Executives lifetime. The Executives 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. If the Executive dies without a valid beneficiary designation, all payments shall be made to the Executives estate.
4.2 Facility of Payment. If a benefit is payable to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of his or her property, PSB may pay such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. PSB may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Such distribution shall completely discharge PSB from all liability with respect to such benefit.
Article 5
General Limitations
All benefits payable under this Agreement shall be subject to the following limitations:
5.1 Excess Parachute or Golden Parachute Payment. In the event that the amounts and benefits payable under this Agreement, when added to other amounts and benefits which may become payable to the Executive by PSB and any affiliated company, are such that he becomes subject to the excise tax provisions of Code Section 4999, he shall be paid such additional amount or amounts as will result in his retention (after the payment of all federal, state and local excise, employment and income taxes on such payments and the value of such benefits) of a net amount equal to the net amount he would have retained had the initially calculated payments and benefits been subject only to income and employment taxation. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Executive shall be deemed to be subject to the highest marginal federal, relevant state and relevant local tax rates. All calculations required to be made under this subsection shall be made by PSBs independent public accountants, subject to the right of Executives representative to review the same. All such amounts required to be paid shall be paid at the time any withholding may be required under applicable law, and any additional amounts to which the Executive may be entitled shall be paid or reimbursed no later than 15 days following confirmation of such amount by the Companys accountants. In the event any amounts paid hereunder are subsequently determined to be in error because estimates were required or otherwise, the parties agree to reimburse each other to correct such error, as appropriate, and to pay interest thereon at the applicable federal rate (as determined under Code Section 1274 for the period of time such erroneous amount remained outstanding and unreimbursed). The parties recognize that the actual implementation of the provisions of this subsection are complex and agree to deal with each other in good faith to resolve any questions or disagreements arising hereunder.
6
5.2 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, PSB shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if PSB terminates the Executives employment for Cause. Termination of the Executives employment for Cause shall mean termination because of personal dishonesty by the Executive in the performance of his duties which results in demonstrable material injury to PSB, willful misconduct by the Executive which remains uncured 15 days following the giving of written notice thereof to the Executive by the Board of Directors of PSB, breach by the Executive of a fiduciary duty to PSB involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties following the giving of written notice thereof to the Executive by the Board of Directors of PSB, or the issuance of a final cease-and-desist order, relating to the Executives conduct, by a state or federal regulatory body. For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on the Executives part shall be considered willful unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executives action or omission was in the best interest of PSB or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries.
5.3 Removal. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, PSB shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
5.4 Competition after Termination of Employment. The Executive shall forfeit his right to any further benefits if the Executive, without the prior written consent of PSB, violates any one of the following described restrictive covenants.
5.4.1 Non-Compete Provision. The Executive shall not, for a period of 12 months following termination of employment, 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) become employed by, participate in, or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any bank or bank holding company, savings and loan or savings and loan holding company, or other similar financial institution if the Executives responsibilities will include providing banking or other financial services within 25 miles of the main office(s) maintained by PSB, and any of its majority-owned subsidiaries, as of the date of the termination of the Executives employment;
(ii) participate 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 PSB or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries as of the date of termination of the Executives employment;
(iii) sell, offer to sell, provide banking or other financial services, assist any other person in selling or providing banking or other financial services, or solicit or otherwise compete for, either directly or indirectly, any orders, contract, or accounts for
7
services of a kind or nature like or substantially similar to the financial services performed or financial products sold by PSB or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries (the preceding hereinafter referred to as Services), to or from any person or entity from whom the Executive or PSB (or such subsidiaries), to the knowledge of the Executive, provided banking or other financial services, sold, offered to sell or solicited orders, contracts or accounts for Services during the one (1) year period immediately prior to the termination of the Executives employment; or
(iv) divulge, disclose, or communicate to others in any manner whatsoever, any nonpublic confidential information of PSB and its majority-owned subsidiaries, to the knowledge of the Executive, including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of customers or prospective customers, of PSB (and such 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 PSB (or any of such subsidiaries), earnings or other information concerning PSB (or such subsidiaries). The restrictions contained in this subparagraph (iv) apply to all information regarding PSB (and such subsidiaries), regardless of the source who provided or compiled such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the restriction set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to any information that becomes known to the general public from sources other than the Executive.
5.4.2 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 PSB (and/or a majority-owned subsidiary of PSB), and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect PSB (and such subsidiaries). Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Executive consents to PSBs entitlement to preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing PSBs rights hereunder and preventing the Executive from further breaching any of his obligations set forth herein. The Executive expressly waives any requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source, that PSB post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the above-described remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting PSB from pursuing any other remedies available to PSB at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive, which may include the return of all or a portion of benefits previously paid hereunder. The Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4.1 hereof are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the protections afforded PSB in Section 5.4.1 hereof are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4.1 hereof will not be materially adverse to the Executives employment opportunities following his termination of employment with PSB or a majority-owned subsidiary of PSB, and (iv) his agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Agreement.
5.4.3 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
8
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.
5.4.4 Change in Control. The non-compete provision detailed in Section 5.4.1 hereof shall not be enforceable following a Change in Control.
5.5 Suicide or Misstatement. No benefits shall be payable if the Executive commits suicide within two (2) years after the date of this Agreement, or if an insurance company (if applicable) denies coverage for material misstatements of fact made by the Executive on any application for life insurance purchased by PSB.

10
Article 8
Miscellaneous
8.1 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall bind the Executive and PSB (and its majority-owned subsidiaries), and their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, successors, administrators and transferees.
8.2 No Guarantee of Employment. This Agreement is not an employment policy or contract. It does not give the Executive the right to remain an employee of PSB or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries, nor does it interfere with PSBs right to discharge the Executive. It also does not require the Executive to remain an employee nor interfere with the Executives right to terminate employment at any time.
8.3 Non-Transferability. Benefits under this Agreement cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, attached or encumbered in any manner.
8.4 Reorganization. PSB shall not merge or consolidate into or with another company, or reorganize, or sell substantially all of its assets to another company, firm, or person unless such succeeding or continuing company, firm, or person agrees to assume and discharge the obligations of PSB under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of such event, the term PSB as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the successor or survivor company.
8.5 Tax Withholding. PSB shall withhold any taxes that are required to be withheld from the benefits provided under this Agreement. In the event adequate funds are unavailable for such withholding, the Executive agrees to provide the same to PSB upon written request.
8.6 Applicable Law. The Agreement and all rights hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the United States of America.
8.7 Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive and any beneficiary are general unsecured creditors of PSB for the payment of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by PSB to pay such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Executives life is a general asset of PSB, or a majority-owned subsidiary of PSB, to which the Executive and any beneficiary have no preferred or secured claim.
8.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between PSB and the Executive as to the subject matter hereof. No rights are granted to the Executive by virtue of this Agreement other than those specifically set forth herein.
8.9 Administration. PSB shall have powers which are necessary to administer this Agreement, including but not limited to:
(i) establishing and revising the method of accounting for the Agreement;
(ii) maintaining a record of benefit payments;
11
(iii) establishing rules and prescribing any forms necessary or desirable to administer the Agreement; and
(iv) interpreting the provisions of the Agreement.
PSB shall have absolute discretion to interpret the provisions of this Agreement and to make all determinations, including factual determinations attendant thereto.
8.10 Named Fiduciary. PSB shall be the named fiduciary and plan administrator under this Agreement. It may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operational responsibilities including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.
8.11 Headings. Headings are included in this Agreement for the convenience of the parties and shall not be taken into consideration in construing the provisions of this Agreement.
8.12 Legal Fees to Enforce Rights After Change in Control. PSB is aware that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Board of Directors or a shareholder of PSB, or of any successor corporation might then cause or attempt to cause PSB or such successor to refuse to comply with its obligations under the Agreement and might cause or attempt to cause PSB to institute, or may institute, litigation seeking to deny the Executive the benefits intended under the Agreement. In these circumstances, the purpose of the Agreement could be frustrated. Accordingly, if, following a Change of Control, it should appear to the Executive that PSB or any successor corporation has failed to comply with any of its obligations under the Agreement or any agreement thereunder, or if PSB or any other person takes any action to declare the Agreement void or unenforceable or institutes any litigation or other legal action designed to deny, diminish or to recover from the Executive the benefits intended to be provided, then PSB irrevocably authorizes the Executive to retain counsel of the Executives choice at the expense of PSB to represent the Executive in connection with the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or against PSB or any director, officer, shareholder or other person affiliated with PSB or any successor thereto in any jurisdiction
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive and PSB have signed this Agreement as of the date and year first above written.
