OF 2006 INCENTIVE PLAN PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT
KNBT
BANCORP, INC.
EXECUTIVE
ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN
2006
Grants
KNBT
Bancorp, Inc. (“KNBT”), pursuant to the terms and in accordance with the KNBT
Bancorp, Inc. Executive Annual Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), hereby grants to
______________ (“Officer”) an Incentive Award under the terms set forth in this
Performance Agreement (“Agreement”), effective as of ________________ 2006:
1. Incentive
Award Grant.
KNBT
grants to the Officer an Incentive Award effective as of the date set forth
above (the “Award”). This Award is subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, and to the further terms and conditions applicable to Incentive
Awards as set forth in the Plan.
2. Performance
Objectives.
The
Incentive Award to the Officer is based on KNBT’s performance for each
Measure:
(a) |
The
Incentive Opportunity Target for each Measure is the product of (x)
the
Measure’s Weight percentage, (y) the Officer’s total Incentive Opportunity
Target percentage and (z) the Officer’s annual gross base salary on the
first day of the Plan Year. The Incentive Opportunity Range is 50%
of
Target for Threshold performance and 150% of Target for Superior
performance.
|
(b) |
Each
Measure is calculated independently. If the performance falls between
Threshold and Superior, that level is interpolated and applied to
the
Incentive Opportunity Range. This calculation determines the dollar
value
of the award for that particular Measure to the Officer.
|
(c) |
Performance
below the Threshold Goal for a specific Measure results in no award
for
that Measure. The award for performance above the Superior Goal is
limited
to the Superior incentive amount for that
Measure.
|
(d) |
The
Committee in its sole discretion reserves the right to reduce the
actual
Incentive Award below the amount calculated in accordance with the
above
formulas.
|
(e) |
Attached
as Appendix A hereto is the 2006 fiscal year Performance Matrix which
contains the Measures, Goals, Weights and Incentive Opportunities
for the
Officer.
|
3. Payment
of Incentive Award.
Payment
with respect to the Incentive Award shall be made in cash as soon as practicable
after the final results of the Company’s financial performance for fiscal 2006
(which may be unaudited) have been approved by the Board and publicly announced,
but in no case later than 74 days after the end of the fiscal year.

4. Change
of Employment Status.
In the
event of a termination of the Officer’s employment with KNBT by reason of the
death of the Officer, Disability or Retirement, a pro ration of the Incentive
Award shall be considered for the number of full quarters of participation
by
the Officer during the Plan Year involved. If the Officer resigns from the
Company during the Plan Year, the Company will use its discretion as to whether
the Officer will lose eligibility for any potential payment pursuant to the
Incentive Award related to the Plan Year. If the Officer resigns after the
Plan
Year but before the distribution of the Incentive Award for that Plan Year,
the
Company will use its discretion as to whether the Officer shall be entitled
to
receive the Incentive Award. If the Officer is terminated by KNBT for Cause
as
defined in the Officer’s employment or severance agreement, if applicable, the
Officer loses eligibility for any potential payment pursuant to the Incentive
Award related to the Plan Year. If the Officer is not a party to an employment
or severance agreement with KNBT or one of its subsidiaries or any such
agreement with Officer does not define Cause, then Cause shall mean, for
purposes of this Agreement, the termination of the Officer as result of KNBT’s
determination that the Officer has: (i) willfully failed to perform his or
her
assigned duties, other than any failure resulting from the Officer’s incapacity
due to physical or mental injury or illness; (ii) committed an act involving
moral turpitude in the course of his or her employment with KNBT or any of
its
subsidiaries; (iii) engaged in willful misconduct; (iv) breached his or her
fiduciary duties for personal profit; or (v) willfully violated, in any material
respect, any law, rule or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar
offenses), written agreement or final cease-and-desist order with respect to
his
or her performance of services for KNBT or any of its subsidiaries, as
determined by the Committee. If the Officer is terminated by KNBT without Xxxxx,
the Officer may be entitled to a portion of the Incentive Award for the number
of full quarters of participation, as calculated after the end of the fiscal
year.
5. Tax
Withholding.
KNBT or
any subsidiary thereof shall withhold from any payment to the Officer or other
person under this Agreement an amount sufficient to cover any withholding taxes
which may become required with respect to such payment or take any other action
as it deems necessary to satisfy any income or other tax withholding
requirements with respect to the Incentive Award.
6. Non-Transferability.
The
Incentive Award may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of and
shall
not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated.
7. Employment
and Termination.
Neither
the Plan, this Agreement nor any related documents, communications or other
material shall give the Officer the right to continued employment by KNBT or
by
any subsidiary thereof, or shall adversely affect the right of KNBT or any
subsidiary to terminate the Officer’s employment with or without Cause at any
time.
8. Modification
of Agreement.
This
Agreement may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated only in accordance
with the terms of the Plan.

9. Agreement
Subject to Plan.
This
Agreement shall be subject to the applicable provisions, definitions, terms
and
conditions set forth in the Plan, all of which are incorporated by this
reference in this Agreement and, unless defined in this Agreement, any
capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the same meaning assigned to
those terms under the Plan. If there is any inconsistency between the terms
of
this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the Plan’s terms shall supercede and
replace the conflicting terms of this Agreement.
10. Severability.
Should
any provision of this Agreement be held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to
be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall not be affected by such holding and shall continue in full
force
in accordance with their terms.
11. Governing
Law.
Except
to the extent pre-empted by federal law, the Plan and this Agreement shall
be
governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
12. Administration.
Any
dispute or disagreement which may arise under, or as a result of, or in any
way
relate to, the interpretation, construction or application of this Agreement
shall be determined by the Committee. Any determination made hereunder shall
be
final, binding and conclusive on the Officer, the Officer’s heirs, executors,
administrators and successors, and KNBT for all purposes.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed on behalf of KNBT effective
as
of the date first written above.
