Plan.
The Committee, as a matter of separate inducement and not in lieu of any

the Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this letter. This
letter constitutes your Participation Letter under the Plan.

3. Restrictive Covenants. In consideration of the payments to
Executive as specified in paragraph 2 above, Executive agrees as
follows:
a. Non-Competition with SUB. The parties recognize that
Executive is an important officer of SUB, that his
reputation and business and personal relationships are
of significant benefit to SUB, and a consideration in
the price paid to acquire the bank holding company of
which Executive was Chief Executive Officer, and that
he has access to information about SUB's plans and
projections as well as other confidential information.
The parties further agree that SUB is in direct
competition with certain banks and bank holding
companies and thrift institutions and their affiliates
and the Executive agrees that, for a period of two (2)
years from the date hereof, he will not accept
employment or serve in any capacity with any bank,
savings bank or savings and loan association the
deposits or accounts or shares of which are insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or credit

place of employment within 25 miles of any office of
SUB or any entity controlling, controlled by or under
common control with SUB open to the public at the time
of this Agreement.
b. Non-Solicitation of SUB Employees. For a period of
five (5) years from the date hereof, Executive will not
solicit or induce any person who is an employee of SUB
or was such at any time within three months prior to
the date hereof to become employed by any other person,
firm or corporation or approach any such employee for
such purpose or authorize or knowingly approve the
taking of such actions by other persons, without the
prior written consent of SUB.
c. Non-Disclosure of Proprietary Information. Executive
acknowledges that during the course of Executive's
employment with SUB Executive received, obtained or
became aware of or had access to proprietary
information, lists and records of customers and trade
secrets which are the property of SUB and which are not
known by competitors or generally by the public
("Proprietary Information") and recognizes such
Proprietary Information to be valuable and unique
assets of SUB. For purposes of this subparagraph: (i)
Proprietary Information is deemed to include, without
limitation, (A) marketing materials, marketing manuals,
policy manuals, procedure manuals, policy and procedure
manuals, operating manuals and procedures and product
documentation, (B) all information about pricing,
products, procedures, practices, business methods,
systems, plans, strategies or personnel of SUB, (C)
circumstances surrounding the relationships with,
knowledge of, or information about the customers,
clients, and accounts of SUB, including but not limited
to the identity of current active customers or
prospects who have been contacted by SUB, the
expiration dates and other terms of loans or deposit or
other banking relationships, details or special product
provisions or special combinations of products, or
special prices, and (D) all other information about SUB
which has not been disclosed in documents filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or
otherwise publicly disseminated by SUB, whether or not
that information is recorded and notwithstanding the
method of recordation, if any; and (ii) Proprietary
Information is deemed to exclude all information
legally in the public domain. Executive agrees to hold
the Proprietary Information in the strictest confidence
and agrees not to use or disclose any Proprietary
Information, directly or indirectly, at any time for
any purpose, without the prior written consent of SUB
or to use for Executive's benefit or the benefit of any
person, firm, corporation or other entity (other than
SUB), any Proprietary Information, and to use
Executive's best efforts to prevent such prohibited use
or disclosure by any other persons. Executive has
returned all Proprietary Information in Executive's
possession or control to SUB.
d. Cooperation, No Detrimental Actions. Executive will
cooperate with SUB in enforcing its claims against
customers and former customers of SUB, including
appearing as a witness for SUB in court or
administrative proceedings, subject to reasonable
reimbursement for Executive's time and expenses.
Executive will not take actions or make disparaging
statements which are detrimental to SUB or the
RELEASEES, as defined in paragraph 5 below.
e. Remedies. Executive hereby acknowledges that
Executive's duties and responsibilities under this
paragraph 3 are unique and extraordinary and that
irreparable injury may result to SUB in the event of a
breach of the terms and conditions of this paragraph 3,
which may be difficult to ascertain, and that the award
of damages would not be adequate relief to SUB and the
RELEASEES. Executive therefore agrees that in the
event of Executive's breach of any of the terms or
conditions of this paragraph 3, SUB shall have the
right, without posting any bond or other security, to
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as
damages and an equitable accounting of all earnings,
profits and other benefits arising from such violation,
which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other rights or remedies in law or equity to which SUB
may be entitled against Executive. The covenants of
Executive in paragraphs 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d of this
Agreement shall each be construed as an agreement
independent of any other provision in this AGREEMENT,
and the existence of any claim or cause of action of
Executive against SUB, whether predicated on this
Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense
to the enforcement by SUB of paragraphs 3a, 3b, 3c and
3d.
f. Enforcement. If at the time of the enforcement of subparagraphs 3a,
3b, 3c, 3d or 3e above a court shall hold that the period or scope of
the provisions thereof are unreasonable under the circumstances then
existing, the parties hereby agree that the maximum period or scope
under the circumstances shall be substituted for the period or scope
stated in those subparagraphs.
4. Short-Swing Securities Profits. Executive acknowledges that Executive will
remain subject to the short-swing liability provisions of Section 16 of the
federal Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for six months following
termination of employment.
5. Release. In consideration of the payments to Executive as specified in
paragraph 2 above, Executive grants SUB a RELEASE of only all claims, both
known and unknown, that Executive may have that relate to the termination
of Executive's employment (hereafter a "WRONGFUL TERMINATION CLAIM"). The
Executive and SUB agree that a WRONGFUL TERMINATION CLAIM, specifically and
without limitation, does not include claims:
1. for indemnification as a corporate agent of SUB against
claims by third parties;
2. under employee benefit plans, including supplemental employee
retirement plans, maintained by SUB or any of the predecessor
organizations thereof, including but not limited to rights under any
workers compensation program, Section 502(a) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.,
and under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
("COBRA");
3. arising out of enforcement of the Contracts or this
Agreement by Executive; or
4. constituting cross-claims against SUB as a result of claims brought by
unaffiliated third parties against Executive based on Executive's
service as an executive of SUB.
The statutes which could form the basis for a WRONGFUL TERMINATION CLAIM
include, but are not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1971 et seq.; the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act of 1967, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 621 et seq.; Section 510 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.;
the Americans With Disabilities Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.;
the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 621 et
seq.; the Civil Rights Act of 1866, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1981 et seq.; the
New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, as amended, N.J.S.A. 10:5-1 et seq.;
the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act, as amended, N.J.S.A.
34:19-1 et seq.; the New York Human Rights Law, Executive Law 290 et seq.;
the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, as amended, 43 P.S. 951 et seq.; and
the Pennsylvania Whistleblower Law, as amended, 43 P.S. 1421 et seq. The
common law (non-statutory) theories under which a WRONGFUL TERMINATION
CLAIM could be made include, but are not limited to, breach of an express
employment contract, breach of a contract implied from a personnel handbook
or manual, or commission of a civil wrong (known as a "tort") resulting in
Executive's termination, or for alleged violation of the public policy of
the United States or any state. Granting a RELEASE of any WRONGFUL
TERMINATION CLAIM pursuant to this AGREEMENT means that on behalf of
Executive and all who succeed to Executive's rights and responsibilities,
Executive releases and gives up only any and all WRONGFUL TERMINATION
CLAIMS that Executive may have against SUB, and any of its subsidiaries,
affiliates or divisions, and all of their directors, officers,
representatives, shareholders, agents, employees, and all who succeed to
their rights and responsibilities (collectively referred to as "RELEASEES".
With respect to any charges filed concerning events or actions relating to
a WRONGFUL TERMINATION CLAIM that occurred on or before the date of this
AGREEMENT or Executive's Termination Date (whichever is later), Executive
waives and releases any right that Executive may have to recover in any
lawsuit or proceeding brought by Executive or by an administrative agency
on Executive's behalf against the RELEASEES.
6. Covenant Not to Xxx. Executive covenants not to xxx the
RELEASEES over any WRONGFUL TERMINATION CLAIM. Such a covenant
not to xxx the RELEASEES means that Executive represents that
Executive has not through the date of execution of this Agreement
filed a WRONGFUL TERMINATION CLAIM, charge or lawsuit with any
court or government agency against the RELEASEES, and that
Executive will not file such a lawsuit subsequent to execution of
this Agreement. Executive also waives any right to become, and
promises not to become, a member of any class in a case in which
WRONGFUL TERMINATION CLAIMS are asserted against any of the
RELEASEES.
7. Review Period. Executive acknowledges that Executive has up
to 21 days to review this AGREEMENT, and was advised to review it
with an attorney of Executive's choice. Executive also
acknowledges that Executive was further advised that Executive
has seven days after Executive signs this AGREEMENT to revoke it
by notifying SUB in writing, of such revocation as set forth
under Notices below. This AGREEMENT shall become effective on
the tenth (10th) day following its execution by Executive (the
"EFFECTIVE DATE"), unless revoked in accordance with the preceding
sentence.
8. Revocation of Authority. Executive agrees and acknowledges
that as of the Termination Date Executive shall no longer be
empowered to bind SUB in any agreement, whether verbal or
written, and that Executive shall have no authority to execute
any documents, deeds, leases, or other contracts on behalf of
SUB. To the extent not effected by termination of Executive
under the Contracts, Executive resigns from all offices and
positions with SUB.
9. Successors and Assigns. All rights and duties of SUB under this Agreement
shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of SUB, its successors and
assigns. All rights of Executive hereunder shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of Executive's personal or legal representatives.
10. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed
to have been duly given if delivered personally with receipt
acknowledged or sent by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid or by reputable national overnight delivery service, to
