LAUREL SAVINGS BANK
AMENDED AND RESTATED GROUP TERM CARVE-OUT PLAN

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED PLAN (this “Plan”) is hereby made effective this 20^thday of July 2006 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Laurel Savings Bank, a state-chartered savings bank located in Xxxxxxx Park, Pennsylvania (the “Bank”), and the Participant (the “Participant”) selected to participate in this Plan, intending to be legally bound hereby.

INTRODUCTION

The Bank and the Participant previously entered into a certain Group Term Carve-Out Plan effective as of January 1, 2004 (the “Prior Plan”). This Plan amends and restates the Prior Plan in its entirety as hereinafter set forth in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including the guidance issued to date by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and the proposed regulations issued by the IRS in the fall of 2005, with none of the benefits payable under this Plan to be deemed grandfathered for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

The Bank wishes to attract, retain and reward highly qualified management level employees. To further this objective, the Bank is willing to divide the death proceeds of certain life insurance policies which are owned by the Bank on the lives of the participating employees with the designated beneficiary of each insured participating employee. The Bank will pay the life insurance premiums from its general assets.

Such notice of intent to discontinue and offering the option to purchase shall be provided in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the date such Policy shall be discontinued. The purchase price shall be the cash surrender value of the Policy.

Article 8
General Limitations

8.1 Excess Parachute or Golden Parachute Payment. If the payments and benefits pursuant to this Plan, either alone or together with other payments and benefits which the Participant (other than a Participant listed in Exhibit B hereto) has the right to receive from the Bank or the Corporation, would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code or would be a prohibited golden parachute payment pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.2 and for which the appropriate federal banking agency has not given written consent to pay pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §359.4, the payments and benefits pursuant to this Plan shall be reduced by the amount, if any, which is the minimum necessary to result in (1) no portion of the payments and benefits under this Plan being non-deductible to the Bank pursuant to Section 280G of the Code and subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, and (2) no adverse consequence to the Bank under or pursuant to the aforementioned banking regulations (or any successors thereto). All benefits payable under this Plan shall also be subject to limitations or prohibitions imposed by subsequent changes or amendments to the cited laws and regulations except to the extent that any benefits payable under this Plan are grandfathered or otherwise exempt or excluded from the change or

amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 8.1 shall not be applicable to the Participants listed in Exhibit B hereto.

8.2 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Plan if the Bank terminates the Participant’s employment for cause. Termination of the Participant’s employment for “Cause” shall mean termination because of personal dishonesty by the Participant in the performance of his or her duties which results in demonstrable material injury to the Bank, willful misconduct by the Participant which remains uncured 15 days following the giving of written notice thereof to the Participant, breach by the Participant of a fiduciary duty to the Bank involving personal profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties following the giving of written notice thereof to the Participant, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order or material breach of any provision of the Plan. For purposes of this paragraph, no act or failure to act on the Participant’s part shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Participant’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Bank.

8.3 Removal. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, the benefit provided under this Plan shall be forfeited if the Participant 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 (“FDIA”).

8.4 Competition after Termination of Employment. The Participant shall forfeit his or her right to any further benefits if the Participant, without the prior written consent of the Bank, violates any one of the following described restrictive covenants.

8.4.1 Non-compete Provision. The Participant 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, trustee, director, employee, agent, consultant or independent contractor of any individual, partnership, corporation or other entity (excluding an ownership interest of five percent (5%) 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, savings and loan or other similar financial institution if the Participant’s responsibilities will include providing banking or other financial services within the twenty-five (25) miles of the main office maintained by the Bank as of the date of the termination of the Participant’s 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 the Bank as of the date of termination of the Participant’s 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, contracts, or accounts for services of a kind or nature like or substantially similar to the financial services performed or financial products sold by the Bank (the preceding hereinafter referred to as “Services”), to or from any person or entity from whom the Participant or the Bank, to the knowledge of the Participant, provided banking or other financial services, sold, offered to sell or solicited orders, contracts or accounts for Services during the three year period immediately prior to the termination of the Participant’s employment; or

	(iv)		divulge, disclose, or communicate to others in any manner whatsoever, any nonpublic confidential information of the Corporation or the Bank or any of its subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, the names and addresses of customers or prospective customers of the Bank or any of its subsidiaries, as they may have existed from time to time, work performed or services rendered for any customer, any method and/or procedures relating to projects or other work developed for the Bank or any of its subsidiaries, earnings or other information concerning the Corporation or the Bank or any of its subsidiaries. The restrictions contained in this subparagraph (iv) apply to all nonpublic confidential information regarding the Corporation or the Bank, 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 Participant.

8.4.2 Judicial Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Participant of any provision of these restrictions, the Participant recognizes the substantial and immediate harm that a breach or threatened breach will impose upon the Bank, and further recognizes that in such event monetary damages may be inadequate to fully protect the Bank. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Plan, the Participant consents to the Bank’s entitlement to such ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive, or any other equitable relief, protecting and fully enforcing the Bank’s rights hereunder and preventing the Participant from further breaching any of his or her obligations set forth herein. The Participant expressly waives any requirement, based on any statute, rule of procedure, or other source, that the Bank post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the above-described remedies. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Bank from pursuing any other remedies available to the Bank at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Participant. The Participant expressly acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the restrictions set forth in Section 8.4.1 hereof are reasonable, in terms of scope, duration, geographic area, and otherwise, (ii) the protections afforded the Bank in Section 8.4.1 hereof are necessary to protect its legitimate business interest, (iii) the restrictions set forth in Section 8.4.1 hereof will not be materially adverse to the Participant’s employment with the Bank, and (iv) his or her

agreement to observe such restrictions forms a material part of the consideration for this Plan and the Bank’s determination to allow Participant to participate in the Plan.

8.4.3 Overbreadth of Restrictive Covenant. It is the intention of the parties that if any restrictive covenant in this Plan is determined by a court of competent 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.

8.4.4 Change in Control. The non-compete provision detailed in Section 8.4.1 hereof shall not be enforceable following a Change in Control.

8.5 Suicide or Misstatement. No benefits shall be payable if the Participant commits suicide within two years after the effective date of the Participant’s participation in this Plan, or if the insurance company denies coverage for material misstatements of fact made by the Participant on any application for life insurance purchased by the Bank or for any other reason. The Bank shall have no liability to the Participant for any denial of coverage by the insurance company.

8.6 Severability. A determination that any provision of this Plan is invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

Article 9
Assignment

A Participant may not assign any or all interests in his or her Policy and in this Plan to any person, entity or trust except, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant may assign all interests in his or her Policy and this Plan to an irrevocable insurance trust created by the Participant. In the event a Participant shall transfer all of his or her interest in the Policy pursuant to the foregoing exception, then all of that Participant’s interest in his or her Policy and in this Plan shall be vested in his or her transferee, subject to such transferee executing agreements binding them to the provisions of this Plan, who shall be substituted as a party hereunder, and that Participant shall have no further interest in his or her Policy or in this Plan

Article 10
Insurer

The Insurer shall be bound only by the terms of its corresponding Policy. Any payments the Insurer makes or actions it takes in accordance with a Policy shall fully discharge it from all claims, suits and demands of all persons relating to that particular Policy. The Insurer shall not be bound by the provisions of this Plan, except to the extent of any endorsement filed with the Insurer. The Insurer shall have the right to rely on the Bank’s representations with regard to any definitions, interpretations, or Policy interests as specified under this Plan.
