NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth below and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

I. TERM OF EMPLOYMENT

1. The Bank hereby employs the Executive as President as set forth below, and Executive hereby accepts this employment and agrees to render such services to the

Bank on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement shall be for a three (3) year period (the “Employment Period”) beginning on the Effective Date of the Consolidation, and if not previously terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall end three years later (the “Initial Term”). The employment Period shall be extended automatically for one (1) additional year on the anniversary date of this Agreement (“Renewal Date”) and then on each anniversary of the Renewal Date of this Agreement thereafter, unless Bank or Executive gives contrary written notice to the other ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date so that upon such anniversary of the Renewal Date if notice had not been previously given as provided in this Section I.1, the Employment Period shall continue for a three (3) year period thereafter. References in the Agreement to “Employment Period” shall refer to the Initial Term of this Agreement and any extensions to the Initial Term. It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement be “Evergreen” unless (i) either party gives written notice to the other party of his or its intention not to renew this Agreement as provided above or (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section VI of this Agreement.

2. During the term of this Agreement the Executive shall perform such executive services for the Bank as are consistent with his title and as are assigned to him by the Bank’s Board of Directors.

3. During the term of this Agreement, the Executive shall devote his best efforts, including such portion of his time and effort to the affairs and business of the Bank as he has customarily provided to this date.

4. The services of Executive shall be rendered principally in Pennsylvania, but he shall do such traveling on behalf of the Bank as may be reasonably required.

II. COMPETITIVE ACTIVITIES

Executive agrees that during the term of his employment except with the express consent of the Board of Directors, he will not, directly or indirectly, engage or participate in, become a director of, or render advisory or other services for, or make any financial investment in any firm, corporation, business entity or business enterprise competitive with the Bank; provided, however, that Executive shall not thereby be precluded or prohibited from owning passive investments, including investments in the securities of other financial institutions, so long as such ownership does not require him to devote substantial time to management or control of the business or activities in which he has invested.

III. COMPENSATION

The Bank will compensate Executive for Executive’s services during the term of the Agreement at a minimum Annual Base Salary of $130,000 per year, payable at the same times as salaries are payable to other executive employees. Bank may from time to time increase Executive’s Annual Base Salary, and any and all such increases shall be deemed to constitute amendments to this Section to reflect the increased amounts.

IV. PARTICIPATION IN RETIREMENT AND MEDICAL PLANS,

LIFE INSURANCE AND DISABILITY

1. Executive shall be entitled to participate in any employee benefit plan of the Bank relating to pension, profit-sharing or other retirement benefits and health or medical coverage or reimbursement plans that the Bank may adopt for the benefit of its employees.

2. In the event the Executive suffers from a Disability as defined in Section IV.3, he shall nevertheless continue to receive an amount equal to and no greater than 100% of his annual base salary, less amounts payable under any disability plan of the Bank, for the first three months of his disability. Thereafter, he shall only be entitled to any amount provided for in the Bank’s long-term disability policy in effect at the time of the payments determined therein.

3. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means the Executive is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months. The Executive will be deemed disabled if the Social Security Administration has determined that he is disabled or if a carrier of any group disability insurance policy provided by the Bank or made available by the Bank to its employees and covering the Executive determines that he is disabled provided that the policy’s definition of disability complies with the definition of disability under IRC Section 409A.

V. ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

1. During the term of the Agreement, Executive will be entitled to participate in and receive the benefits of any stock option, profit sharing, or other plan, benefit or privilege given to employees and executives of the Bank or its subsidiaries and affiliates which may come into existence hereafter, to the extent commensurate with his duties and responsibilities, as fixed by the Bank’s Board of Directors or any committee of such Board or of the Bank selected for such purpose. To the extent Executive is otherwise eligible and qualifies, he shall participate in and receive such benefits or privileges. The Bank shall not make any changes in such plans, benefits or privileges which would adversely affect Executive’s rights or benefits, unless such change occurs pursuant to a program applicable to all executive officers of the Bank and does not result in a proportionately greater adverse change in the rights or benefits to Executive as compared with any other executive officer of the Bank. Nothing paid to Executive under any plan or arrangement presently in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed to be in lieu of the salary payable to Executive pursuant to Section III.

2. For services performed by Executive under this Agreement, Bank has established a bonus program for Executive which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The

payment of any such bonuses shall not reduce or otherwise affect any other obligation of Bank to Executive provided for in this Agreement.

VI. TERMINATION

1. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated, Executive’s right to compensation and other benefits under this agreement shall be as set forth hereinafter in this Section VI. In the event the Executive is terminated in a manner which violates the provisions of this Agreement, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, Bank shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable costs, including attorney’s fees in challenging such termination. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to all rights to which the Executive is otherwise entitled under this Agreement.

2. (a) If a change in control (hereinafter referred to as “CIC”) of the Bank shall occur, as defined in 2(b), and without Executive’s express written consent, thereafter, there shall be:

(i) an involuntary termination of Executive without Cause as defined in Section VI 8;

(ii) an assignment to Executive of duties inconsistent with Executive’s positions, duties, responsibilities and status with the Bank immediately prior to a CIC;

(iii) a change in Executive’s reporting responsibilities, titles or offices in effect immediately prior to a CIC of the Bank, including any removal of the Executive from, or any failure to reelect Executive to any of such positions, except in connection with a termination for disability or retirement;

(iv) a reduction by the Bank in Executive’s annual salary in effect immediately prior to a CIC or as the same may be increased from time to time; or

(v) the failure of the Bank to continue in effect any bonus, benefit or compensation plan, life insurance plan, health and accident plan or disability plan in which the Executive is participating at the time of a CIC of the Bank, or the taking of any action by Bank which would adversely affect Executive’s participation in or materially reduce Executive’s benefits under any of such plans;

then at the option of the Executive, Executive shall within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, provide notice to Bank of the existence of the condition and provide Bank thirty (30) days in which to cure such condition. In the event that Bank does not cure the condition within thirty (30) days of such notice, Executive

may resign from employment for Good Reason by delivering written notice (“Notice of Termination”) to Bank.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the definition of a “Change in Control” (CIC) of the Bank shall mean:

(1)(a) a merger, consolidation or division involving Bank or its parent company, (b) a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of Bank, or (c) a purchase by Bank of substantially all of the assets of purchase or disposition a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the legal entity resulting from or existing after any such transaction and of the Board of Directors of such entity’s parent corporation, if any, are former members of the Board of Directors of Bank; or

(2) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), other than Bank or any “person” who on the date hereof is a director or officer of Bank is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Bank or its parent company representing thirty five (35%) percent or more of the combined voting power of Bank’s or its parent company’s then outstanding securities; or

(3) during any period of one (1) year during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of Bank cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election of each director who was not a director at the beginning of such period has been approved in advance by directors representing at least two-thirds of the directors then in office who were directors at the beginning of the period.

Notwithstanding b(1), (2), or (3) or any other provision above, the consolidation of First Perry Bancorp, Inc. and HNB Bancorp, Inc, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Consolidation dated on or about June 18, 2008 between First Perry Bancorp, Inc. and HNB Bancorp, Inc. shall not constitute a Change in Control under this Section or this Agreement.

3. In the event that Executive delivers a Notice of Termination (as defined in Section VI 2 of this Agreement) to Bank, Executive shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits set forth below:

If a “Change in Control” (as defined in Section 2(b) of this Agreement) has also occurred, Bank shall pay Executive an amount equal to 3.0 times Executive’s Annual Compensation minus applicable taxes and withholdings, payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments. For purposes of this paragraph, Annual Compensation shall

be defined as Executive’s Annual Base Salary plus the highest bonus received within the previous two years plus the amount which Bank pays for employee benefits (including automobile allowance or the value of the use of a Bank automobile) for Executive for a one year period.

In the event that Executive is not eligible to participate, then Executive shall receive an amount necessary to reimburse Executive for the cost incurred by him to obtain substantially similarly benefits.

In the event the payment described herein, when added to all other amounts or benefits provided to or on behalf of the Executive in connection with his termination of employment, would result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, Bank will pay to Executive an additional cash payment (“Gross-up Payment”) in an amount such that the after-tax proceeds of such Gross-up Payment (including any income tax or Excise Tax on such Gross-up Payment) will be equal to the amount of the Excise Tax.

4. If Executive’s employment with Bank is terminated by Bank for any reason other than Cause as defined in Section VI 7, then Executive shall be entitled to an amount equal to 3.0 times Executive’s Annual Compensation minus applicable taxes and withholdings payable in twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments. For purposes of this paragraph, Annual Compensation shall be defined as Executive’s Annual Base Salary plus the highest bonus received within the previous two years plus the amount which Bank pays for employee benefits (including automobile allowance) for Executive for a one year period. In addition, for three-years after the date of Executive’s termination, Bank shall provide Executive with continued participation in all noncash employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements (including, without limitation, pension and retirement plans and arrangements, stock option plans, life insurance and health and accident plans and arrangements, medical insurance plans, disability plans, and vacation plans) in which Executive was entitled to participate immediately prior to the date of termination of his employment provided Executive is eligible to participate in such plans. In the event that Executive is not eligible to participate, then Executive shall receive an amount necessary to reimburse Executive for the cost incurred by him to obtain substantially similarly benefits.

5. Any termination of Executive’s employment by the Bank or by the Executive shall be communicated by written notice of termination to the other party by means of United States certified mail, return receipt requested, pursuant to Section VII 3 of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “notice of termination” shall mean a dated notice which shall (i) indicate the specific termination provision in the Agreement relied upon; (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to

provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated; and (iii) specify a date of termination, which shall not be less than thirty nor more than ninety days after such notice of termination.

6. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided under this Agreement by seeking employment or otherwise.

7. Termination for Cause. The Board of Directors of the Bank may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for cause. For purposes of this agreement “Cause” includes,

(i) the Executive’s willful failure to perform or to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement;

(ii) the Executive’s willful failure to perform or to comply fully with any lawful directive of the Bank’s Board of Directors or of any duly constituted committee thereof after written notice and a failure to cure within thirty (30) days of such notice;

(iii) Executive’s violation of Bank’s EBO policy; or

(iv) Executive’s removal from office or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by a final order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) or 8(g) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or by the Comptroller of the Currency pursuant to national law.

8. In the event that Executive is terminated for “cause” as defined in Section VI 7, all obligations of Bank under this Agreement shall terminate.

9. Notwithstanding any other provision, in the event that Executive is determined to be a specified employee (“key employee”) as that term is defined in Section 409A of the Code, no payment that is determined to be deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made until one day following six months from the date of separation of service as that term is defined in Section 409A of the Code.

VII. MISCELLANEOUS

1. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this agreement, the payment or obligation to pay monies or granting of any rights or privileges to Executive as provided in this Agreement shall not be in lieu or derogation of the rights and privileges that Executive now has under any plan or benefit presently outstanding.
