EXHIBIT 10.1
AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT-X. XXXXXX
This Amendment ("the Amendment") is made this 1st day of October, 1997, by and
among PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company, (formerly known as People's Bank of
Xxxx Rock) a Pennsylvania banking institution (the "Bank"), Codorus Valley
Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania business corporation (the "Corporation") and Xxxxx
X. Xxxxxx, an adult individual (the "Executive").
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Bank, the Corporation and the Executive entered into a certain
Employment Agreement effective the 1st day of January, 1993 (the "Employment
Agreement"), which is attached hereto;
WHEREAS, as a result of action by the Board of Directors at the Annual Strategic
Planning Meeting, the Bank and the Corporation and the Executive desire to amend
the Employment Agreement provisions regarding "Payments on Termination," which
describes the Executive's severance compensation resulting from a Change of
Control, as defined in the Employment Agreement;
WHEREAS, in recognition of the valued services provided by the Executive in the
past to the Bank and the Corporation, the Bank and the Corporation desire to
amend the Payments on Termination provisions of the Employment Agreement
resulting from a Change of Control, as an incentive for the Executive to
continue to provide such valued services in the future;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth
herein, for good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the Bank, the Corporation and the Executive agree as follows:
1. The Amendment is incorporated into the Employment Agreement by the Bank,
the Corporation and the Executive, in accordance with Paragraph 18 of the
Employment Agreement, entitled "Amendment."
2. All terms set forth in the Amendment shall be defined and interpreted by
the definitions, construction and intent of the Employment Agreement and shall
have the same meaning as therein provided unless the context clearly requires a
different meaning.
3a.Paragraph 11(b) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended as
follows:
If the Executive's employment is terminated by the Corporation or Bank (other
than pursuant to paragraphs 10(a) or 10(b) or 10(c) hereof), then the Bank shall
pay the Executive his full Annual Direct Salary (as defined in the Employment
Agreement) from the date of termination through the last day of the term of this
Agreement or an amount equal to his current Annual Direct Salary, whichever is
greater. If the Executive shall terminate his employment for Good Reason, other
than a Change of Control as defined herein, then the Bank shall pay the
Executive an amount equal to his Annual Direct Salary. If the Executive shall
terminate his employment for Good Reason, as defined in paragraph 10(d)(iv),
constituting a Change of Control, then the Executive shall be entitled to
receive a lump sum payment
4
equal to 2.99 times his then current Annual Direct Salary. The Bank shall also
maintain in full force and effect, for the continued benefit of the Executive
for an equivalent period, all employee benefit plans and programs to which the
Executive was entitled prior to the date of termination, except those under
paragraphs 5(b) (but not including accrued vacation days), (c), (d) and (e), if
the Executive's continued participation is possible under the general terms and
provisions of such plans and programs except that if the Executive's
participation in any health, medical, life insurance, or disability plan or
program is barred, the Bank shall obtain and pay for, on the Executive's behalf,
individual insurance plans, policies or programs which provide to the Executive
health, medical, life and disability insurance coverage which is substantially
equivalent to the insurance coverage to which the Executive was entitled prior
to the date of termination.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph of this Section in the event that:
(i) the aggregate payments or benefits to be made or afforded to the
Executive under said paragraph (the "Payment Upon Termination") would be deemed
to include an "excess parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") or any successor thereto, and
(ii) if such Payments Upon Termination were reduced to an amount (the
"Non-Triggering Amount"), the value of which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an
amount equal to three (3) times Executive's "base amount," as determined in
accordance with said Section 280G, and the Non-Triggering Amount would be
greater than the aggregate value of the Payments Upon Termination (without such
reduction) minus the amount of tax required to be paid by the Executive thereon
by Section 4999 of the Code, then the Payments Upon Termination shall be reduced
to the Non-Triggering Amount. The allocation of the reduction required hereby
among the Payments Upon Termination provided by the preceding paragraph of this
Section shall be determined by the Executive.
3b.Accordingly, the following portion of Paragraph 11(b) of the
Employment Agreement is hereby deleted:
" . . . his full Annual Direct Salary from the Date of Change of
Control as defined in paragraph 14 through the last day of the term of
this Agreement or an amount equal to his current Annual Direct Salary,
whichever is greater. The Bank shall also maintain in full force and
effect, for the continued benefit of the Executive for an equivalent
period, all employee benefit plans and programs to which the Executive
was entitled prior to the date of termination, except those under
paragraphs 5(b) (but not including accrued vacation days), (c), (d),
(e), if the Executive's continued participation is possible under the
general terms and provisions of such plans and programs except that if
the executive's participation in any health, medical, life insurance,
or disability plan or program is barred, the Bank shall obtain and pay
for, on the Executive's behalf, individual insurance plans, policies
or programs which provide to the Executive health, medical, life and
disability insurance coverage which is substantially equivalent to the
insurance coverage to which the Executive was entitled prior to the
date of termination."
4. In all other respects, the Employment Agreement, as amended above, is
hereby ratified and confirmed by the Bank, the Corporation and the Executive.
All other provisions of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect as amended hereby.
5
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, each intending to be legally bound, have
executed the Amendment as of the date, month and year first above written.

Executive Officer in charge of the general management of the Corporation and
Bank.

3. ENGAGEMENT IN OTHER EMPLOYMENT. The Executive shall devote all his
working time, ability and attention to the business of the Corporation and Bank

Corporation and Bank under this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to

Direct Salary shall be reviewed annually, no later than November 30 of the then
calendar year and shall be subject to such annual change (but not reduced below
$125,000.00 without the Executive's written consent, except in cases of national
financial depression or emergency when compensation reduction has been
implemented by the Board of Directors for the Bank's senior management) as may
be set by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and Bank taking into account
the position and duties of the Executive and the performance of the Corporation
and Bank under the Executive's leadership.
(b) ANNUAL BUSINESS PLAN. The Executive shall prepare a business plan
establishing the financial and business goals of the Corporation and Bank prior
to the start of each fiscal year. The business plan prepared by the Executive
shall be reviewed promptly by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and

Executive and to reward the Executive for his performance.
(d) DIRECTOR FEES. The Executive shall not be entitled to any director's
fee or other compensation as paid to other members of the Board of Directors of
the Bank and/or Corporation or subsidiaries of either. The Executive also agrees

Corporation or subsidiary of either without any additional compensation or fees.
5. FRINGE BENEFITS, VACATION, EXPENSES, AND PERQUISITES.

in or receive benefits under all Bank employment benefit plans including, but
not limited to, any pension plan, profit-sharing
8

available by the Bank to its employees, subject to and on a basis consistent
with terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans and
arrangements.
(b) VACATION, HOLIDAYS, SICK DAYS AND PERSONAL DAYS. The Executive shall be
entitled to the number of paid vacation days in each calendar year determined by
the Bank from time to time for its senior executive officers, but not less than
four (4) weeks (two weeks of which shall be in sequence unless excused from such
requirement by the Board of Directors) in any calendar year (prorated in any
calendar year during which the Executive is employed hereunder for less than the
entire such year in accordance with the number of days in such calendar year
during which he is so employed). The Executive shall also be entitled to all
paid holidays, sick days and personal days given by the Bank to its employees.
(c) BUSINESS EXPENSES. During the term of his employment hereunder, the
Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable
expenses incurred by him (in accordance with the policies and procedures
established by the Board of Directors of the Bank for its senior executive
officers) in performing services hereunder, provided that the Executive properly
accounts therefore in accordance with Bank policy.

and/or Bank's subsidiaries.
7. LIABILITY INSURANCE. The Bank shall use its best efforts to obtain
insurance coverage for the Executive under an insurance policy covering officers
and directors of the Bank against lawsuits, arbitrations or other legal or
regulatory proceedings; however, nothing herein shall be construed to require
the Bank to obtain such insurance, if the Board of Directors of the Bank
determine that such coverage cannot be obtained at a reasonable price.
8. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE. During the term of his employment hereunder, or
at any later time, the Executive shall not, without the written consent of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation or Bank or a person authorized thereby,
knowingly disclose to any person, other than an employee of the Corporation or
Bank or a person to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in
connection with the performance by the Executive of his duties as an executive
of the Corporation or Bank, any
9
material confidential information obtained by him while in the employ of the
Corporation or Bank with respect to any of the Corporation or Bank's services,
products, improvements, formulas, designs or styles, processes, customers,
methods of business or any business practices the disclosure of which could be
or will be materially damaging to the Corporation or Bank provided, however,
that confidential information shall not include any information known generally
to the public (other than as a result of unauthorized disclosure by the
Executive or any person with the assistance, consent or direction of the
Executive) or any information of a type not otherwise considered confidential by
persons engaged in the same business or a business similar to that conducted by
the Corporation or Bank or any information that must be disclosed as required by
law.
9. RESTRICTIVE COVENANT. The Executive covenants and agrees that the
Executive shall not directly or indirectly, within the marketing area of the
Bank (defined as an area within fifty (50) miles of the registered office of the
Bank), enter into or engage generally in direct or indirect competition with the
Corporation or Bank or any subsidiary of the Corporation, either as an
individual on his own or as a partner or joint venturer, or as a director,
officer, shareholder, employee, agent, independent contractor, lessor or
creditor of or for any person, for a period of one year after the date of
termination of his employment if the Executive's employment is terminated for
any reason whatsoever except upon resignation by the Executive for "Good Reason"
under paragraph 10(d) hereof (except that change of control shall not constitute
Good Reason for this paragraph). The foregoing restriction shall not be
construed to prohibit the ownership by Executive of not more than five percent
(5%) of any class of securities of any corporation which is in competition with
the Bank or Corporation, provided that such ownership represents a passive
investment and that neither Executive nor any group of persons including
Executive in any way, either directly or indirectly, manages or exercises
control of any such corporation, guarantees any of its financial obligations,
otherwise takes any part in its business, other than exercising his rights as a
shareholder, or seek to do any of the foregoing. The existence of any claim or
cause of action of the Executive against the Corporation or Bank, whether
predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the
enforcement by the Corporation or Bank of this covenant. The Executive agrees
that any breach of the restrictions set forth in paragraphs 8 and 9 will result
in irreparable injury to the Corporation or Bank for which it shall have no
adequate remedy at law and the Corporation or Bank shall be entitled to
injunctive relief in order to enforce the provisions hereof. In the event that
this paragraph shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be
unenforceable in part by reason of it being too great a period of time or
covering too great a geographical area, it shall be in full force and effect as
to that period of time or geographical area determined to be reasonable by the
court.
10. TERMINATION.
(a) The Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.
(b) If the Executive becomes disabled because of sickness, physical or
mental disability, or any other reason, the Corporation or Bank shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to
the Executive. Executive shall be deemed to have become "disabled" only in the
event and at such time as he qualifies (after expiration of any applicable
waiting period) to receive benefits for total disability under the employee
disability insurance benefit plan referred to in paragraph 5(a) above.
10
(c) The Corporation or Bank may terminate the Executive's employment
hereunder for Cause. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Corporation or Bank
shall have "Cause" to terminate the Executive's employment hereunder upon (1)
the willful failure by the Executive to substantially perform his duties
hereunder, or (2) the willful engaging by the Executive in misconduct injurious
to the Corporation or Bank, or (3) the willful violation by the Executive of the
provisions of paragraphs 3 or 8 hereof after notice from the Bank and a failure
to cure such violation within thirty (30) days of said notice, or if said
violation cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, within a reasonable time
thereafter if the Executive is diligently attempting to cure the violation, or
(4) the dishonesty or gross negligence of the Executive in the performance of
his duties or (5) the breach of Executive's fiduciary duty involving personal
profit, or (6) the violation of any law, rule or regulation governing banks or
bank officers or any final cease and desist order issued by a bank regulatory
authority any of which materially jeopardizes the business of the Corporation or
Bank, or (7) moral turpitude or other conduct on the part of Executive which
brings public discredit to the Corporation or Bank or (8) the Executive's
failure to be elected and serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation.
(d) The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder if (1) his health
should become impaired to an extent that it makes continued performance of his
duties hereunder hazardous to his physical or mental health or his life, or (2)
for Good Reason. The term "Good Reason: shall mean (i) any assignment to the
Executive, without his consent, of any duties other than those contemplated by,
or any limitation of the powers of the Executive not contemplated by, paragraphs
2 and 6 hereof, or (ii) any removal of the Executive from (other than as a
result of his regulatory removal or failure to be re-elected on the Corporation
and Bank's Boards of Directors) any of the positions indicated in paragraph 2
hereof, except in connection with termination of the Executive's employment for
Cause, or (iii) failure of the Bank to comply with paragraph 5 hereof, or (iv)
any Change of Control (as defined herein); all after notice from the Executive
to the Corporation and Bank that such action or limitation of the Bank or
Corporation constitutes Good Reason and the failure to cure such situation
within thirty (30) days of said notice, or if said situation cannot be cured
within thirty (30) days, within a reasonable time thereafter if a diligent
effort is being made to cure such situation.
11. PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION.

full Annual Direct Salary through the date of termination at the rate in effect

termination through the last day of the term of this Agreement or an amount
equal to his current Annual Direct Salary, whichever is greater. If the

Control as defined herein, then the Bank shall pay the Executive an amount equal
to his Annual Direct Salary. If the Executive shall terminate his employment for
Good Reason, as defined in paragraph 10(d)(iv), constituting a Change of
Control, then the Bank shall pay the Executive his full Annual Direct Salary
from the Date of Change of Control as defined in paragraph 14 through the last
day of the term of this Agreement or an amount equal to his current Annual
Direct Salary, whichever is greater. The Bank shall also maintain in full force
and effect,
11
for the continued benefit of the Executive for an equivalent period, all
employee benefit plans and programs to which the Executive was entitled prior to
the date of termination, except those under paragraphs 5(b) (but not including
accrued vacation days), (c), (d), and (e), if the Executive's continued
