WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Bank and Executive have been parties to an employment agreement dated November 14, 2005 relating to the employment of the Executive by the Bank (the “Original Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Bank desire to continue to employ Executive to serve in the capacity of Executive Vice President of the Corporation and the Bank on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Employment. The Corporation and the Bank each hereby employs Executive and Executive hereby accepts employment with Corporation and the Bank, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2. Duties of Employee. Executive shall serve as an Executive Vice President of the Corporation and the Bank, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and shall have such responsibilities, powers and duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank, provided such powers and duties are consistent with the Executive’s position. Executive shall devote his full time, attention and energies to the business of the Corporation and the Bank during the Employment Period (as defined in Section 3 of this Agreement); provided, however, that this Section 2 shall not be construed as preventing Executive from (a) engaging in activities incident or necessary to personal investments, (b) acting as a member of the board of directors of any non-profit association or corporation, or (c) being involved in any other activity with the prior approval of the Chief Executive Officer. The Executive shall not engage in any business or commercial activities, duties or pursuits which compete with the business or commercial activities of the Corporation or the Bank, nor may the Executive serve as a director or officer or

in any other capacity in a company which competes with the Corporation or the Bank.

3. Term of Agreement.

(a) Employment Period. This Agreement shall be for a two (2) year period (the “Employment Period”) beginning on the date first mentioned above, and if not previously terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Employment Period shall end two (2) years later; provided however, that the Employment Period shall be automatically renewed one year later on the first anniversary date of the commencement of the Employment Period (the “Renewal Date”) for a period ending two (2) years from the Renewal Date unless either party shall give written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the Renewal Date, in which event this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the Employment Period. If this Agreement is renewed on the Renewal Date, it will be automatically renewed on the first anniversary date of the Renewal Date and each subsequent year (the “Annual Renewal Date”) for a period ending two (2) years from each Annual Renewal Date, unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the Annual Renewal Date, in which case this Agreement will continue in effect for a term ending two (2) years from the Annual Renewal Date immediately following such notice.

(b) Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a) of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation or the Bank for Cause (as defined herein) upon written notice from the Board of Directors of the Corporation to Executive. As used in this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of the following:

(i) Executive’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony, a crime of falsehood or a crime involving moral turpitude, or the actual incarceration of Executive for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days or more;

(ii) Executive’s willful continuing failure to follow the lawful instructions of the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Bank (which instructions must be consistent with the terms of this Agreement), after the Executive’s receipt of written notice of such instructions, other than a failure resulting form Executive’s incapacity because of physical or mental illness;

(iii) A government regulatory agency recommends or orders in writing that the Corporation or the Bank terminate the employment of the Executive with the Corporation or the Bank or relieve him of his duties as such relate to the Corporation or the Bank; or

(iv) Executive’s violation of the covenant not to compete contained in Section 8 or the confidentiality provisions of Section 9.

If this Agreement is terminated for Cause, all of Executive’s rights under this Agreement shall cease as of the effective date of such termination, except that:

- 2 -

(i) the Bank shall pay to Executive the unpaid portion, if any, of his Annual Base Salary through the date of termination; and

(ii) the Bank shall provide to Employee such post-employment benefits, if any, as may be provided for under the terms of the employee benefit plans of the Bank then in effect.

(c) Termination for Good Reason. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a) of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s termination of employment for Good Reason. The term “Good Reason” shall mean (i) a reduction in salary or material reduction in benefits, including any incentive compensation plan, except in cases of a national financial depression or emergency when such reduction has been implemented generally by the Board of Directors for the Corporation’s senior management, (ii) a reassignment which assigns full-time employment duties to Executive at a location more than fifty (50) miles from the Corporation’s principal executive office and from the office at which the Executive spends the majority of his time, in either case on the date of this Agreement, (iii) any other material breach or default by the Corporation or the Bank under any term or provision of this Agreement, including any reduction, in any material respect and without Executive’s consent, of the authority, duties or other terms and conditions of Executive’s employment hereunder, or (iv) any delivery by the Corporation or the Bank to the Executive of a written notice of non-renewal pursuant to Section 3(a) above, in all cases after notice from the Executive to the Corporation within ninety (90) days after the initial existence of any such condition that the condition constitutes Good Reason and the failure of the Corporation and the Bank to cure such situation within thirty (30) days after said notice. If such termination occurs for Good Reason, then Bank shall pay Executive such benefits as are set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement.

(d) Death. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(a) of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon Executive’s death and Executive’s rights under this Agreement shall cease as of the date of such termination, except that (i) the Bank shall pay to Executive’s spouse, personal representative, or estate the unpaid portion, if any, of his Annual Base Salary through date of death and the balance of the payments (if any) owing pursuant to Section 15(b) below, and (ii) the Bank shall provide to Executive’s dependents any benefits due under the Bank’s employee benefit plans.

(e) Disability. Executive, the Corporation and the Bank agree that if Executive becomes eligible for employer-provided short-term and/or long-term disability benefits, or worker’s compensation benefits, then the Bank’s obligation to pay Executive his base salary shall be reduced by the amount of the disability or worker’s compensation benefits received by Executive.

Executive, the Corporation and the Bank agree that if, in the judgment of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, the Executive is unable, as a result of illness or injury, to perform the essential functions of his position on a full-time basis with or without a reasonable accommodation and without posing a direct threat to himself or others for a

- 3 -

period of six months, the Corporation and the Bank will suffer an undue hardship in continuing the Executive’s employment as set forth in this agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the six-month period, and all of Executive’s rights under this Agreement shall cease, with the exception of those rights which Executive may have under the Bank’s benefit plans.

4. Employment Period Compensation, Benefits and Expenses.

(a) Annual Base Salary. For services performed by Executive under this Agreement, Bank shall pay Executive an Annual Base Salary during the Employment Period at the rate of One Hundred Forty Thousand dollars ($140,000) per year, minus applicable withholdings and deductions, payable at the same times as salaries are payable to other executive employees of the Bank. The Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors and the Board 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 4(a) to reflect the increased amounts, effective as of the date established for such increases by the Board. In reviewing adjustments to Annual Base Salary, the Board of Directors shall consider relevant market data regarding executive salaries at peer financial institutions and the performance of the Corporation and the Bank under the Executive’s leadership.

(b) Bonus. The Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank may provide for the payment of an annual bonus to the Executive as it deems appropriate to provide incentive to the Executive and to reward the Executive for his performance. Such bonus may, but need not be, determined in accordance with any incentive bonus programs for executive officers as approved by the Board of Directors. The payment of any such bonuses will not reduce or otherwise affect any other obligation of the Bank to the Executive provided for in this Agreement.

(c) Vacations, Holidays, etc. During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to be paid annual vacation in accordance with the policies as established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Bank. However, Executive shall not be entitled to receive any additional compensation from Bank for failure to take a vacation, nor shall Executive be able to accumulate unused vacation time from one year to the next, except to the extent authorized by the Board of Directors of Bank. The Executive shall also be entitled to all paid holidays, sick days and personal days provided by the Bank to its regular full-time employees and senior executive officers.

(d) Automobile. During the term of this Agreement, the Bank shall provide the Executive with exclusive use of an automobile mutually agreed upon by Executive and Bank. This automobile shall be a mid-size car or comparable sports utility vehicle. The Bank shall be responsible and shall pay for all costs associated with the operation and maintenance of such automobile, including, without limitation, insurance coverage, repairs, maintenance and other operating and incidental expenses, including registration, fuel and oil.

- 4 -

(e) Country Club Membership Fees. The Bank shall pay for Executive’s membership dues, capital fund assessments and similar items necessary or appropriate to maintain a membership at a country club within the Bank’s market area as mutually agreed upon by Bank and Executive.

(f) Stock Based Incentives. During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to such stock based incentives as may be granted from time to time by the Corporation’s Board of Directors under the Corporation’s stock based incentive plans and as are consistent with the Executive’s responsibilities and performance.

(g) Employee Benefit Plans. During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to participate in or receive the benefits of any employee benefit plan currently in effect at the Bank, subject to the terms of said plan, until such time that the Board of Directors authorizes a change in such benefits.

(h) Business Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by him, which are properly accounted for, in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the Bank for its executive officers.

5. Termination of Employment Following Change in Control.

(a) If a Change in Control (as defined in Section 5(b) of this Agreement) shall occur at any time during the term of this Agreement, Executive may terminate his employment for any reason or no reason by delivering a notice in writing (the “Notice of Termination”) to the Corporation within thirty (30) days of the Change in Control which termination shall be effective immediately upon delivery of such Notice of Termination.

(b) As used in this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence immediately of any of the following:

(A) the consummation of (i) a merger, consolidation, division or other fundamental transaction involving the Corporation or the Bank, (ii) a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the Bank to any entity which is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation, or (iii) a purchase by the Corporation or the Bank of substantially all of the assets of another entity; unless (y) such merger, consolidation, division, sale, exchange, transfer, purchase, disposition or other transaction is approved in advance by eighty percent (80%) or more of the members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation who are not interested in the transaction and (z) a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the legal entity resulting from or existing after any such transaction and a majority of the Board of Directors of such entity’s parent corporation, if any, are former members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; or

- 5 -

(B) 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 the Corporation, a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation, or a person who is the beneficial owner of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Corporation’s outstanding securities on the date of this Agreement becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of Corporation’s then outstanding securities; or

(C) during any period of two (2) consecutive years during the term of Executive’s employment under this Agreement, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Corporation 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; or

(D) any other change in control of the Corporation or the Bank similar in effect to any of the foregoing.

6. Rights in Event of Change in Control.

(a) In the event that Executive delivers a Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 5(a) of this Agreement) to the Corporation, Executive shall be entitled to receive the compensation and benefits set forth below:

(i) Executive shall be paid, within twenty (20) days following termination, a lump sum cash payment equal to two times the sum of (1) the highest Annual Base Salary as defined in Section 4(a) during the immediately preceding three calendar years, (2) the highest cash bonus and other cash incentive compensation earned by him with respect to one of the three calendar years immediately preceding the year of termination and (3) the highest value of stock options and other stock based incentives awarded to the Executive with respect to one of the three calendar years immediately preceding the year of termination, which value shall be based upon the grant-date fair value of the award determined in accordance with SFAS 123(R) (“Share-Based Payments”). The amount shall be subject to federal, state, and local tax withholdings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the value of restricted stock awarded to Executive under the Bank’s 2006 Restricted Stock Plan shall not be included under §6(a)(i)(3) above for purposes of calculating the compensation payable to Executive.

(ii) In addition, for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of termination of employment, Executive shall be permitted to continue

- 6 -

participation in and the Bank shall maintain the same level of contribution for Executive’s participation in the Bank’s life, disability, medical/health insurance and other health and welfare benefits in effect with respect to Executive during the one (1) year prior to his termination of employment, or, if Bank is not permitted by the insurance carriers to provide such benefits because Executive is no longer an employee, a dollar amount equal to the cost to Executive of obtaining such benefits (or substantially similar benefits).

(b) Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 6 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of payment or the benefit provided for in this Section 6 be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer or by reason of Executive’s receipt of or right to receive any retirement or other benefits after the date of termination of employment or otherwise.

(c) Should the total of all amounts or benefits payable hereunder, together with any other payments which Executive has a right to receive from the Corporation, the Bank, any affiliates or subsidiaries of the Corporation or the Bank, or any successors of any of the foregoing, result in the imposition of an excise tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 4999 (or any successor thereto), Executive shall be entitled to an additional “excise tax” adjustment payment in an amount such that, after the payment of all federal and state income and excise taxes, Executive will be in the same after-tax position as if no excise tax had been imposed. Any payment or benefit which is required to be included under Internal Revenue Code Sections 280G or 4999 (or any successor provisions thereto) for purposes of determining whether an excise tax is payable shall be deemed a payment “made to Executive” or a payment “which Executive has a right to receive” for purposes of this provision. The Corporation or the Bank (or its successor) shall be responsible for the costs of calculation of the deductibility of payments and benefits and the excise tax by the Corporation’s independent certified accountant and tax counsel and shall notify Executive of the amount of excise tax prior to the time such excise tax is due. If at any time it is determined that the additional “excise tax” adjustment payment previously made to Executive was insufficient to cover the effect of the excise tax, the gross-up payment pursuant to this provision shall be increased to make Executive whole, including an amount to cover the payment of any penalties resulting from any incorrect or late payment of the excise tax resulting from the prior calculation. All such amounts required to be paid hereunder shall be paid at the time any withholdings may be required (or, if earlier, the time Executive shall be required to pay such amounts) under applicable law, and any additional amounts to which Executive may be entitled shall be paid or reimbursed no later than fifteen (15) days following confirmation of such amount by the Corporation’s independent accountants; provided however, that any payments to be made under this Section 6(c) shall in all events be made no later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year next following the taxable year in which the Executive remits such excise tax payments. In the event any amounts paid hereunder are subsequently determined to be in error because estimates were required or otherwise, the parties agree to reimburse each other to correct such error, as appropriate, and to pay interest thereon at the applicable federal rate (as determined

- 7 -

under Internal Revenue Code Section 1274 for the period of time such erroneous amount remained outstanding and unreimbursed). The parties recognize that the actual implementation of the provisions of this subsection are complex and agree to deal with each other in good faith to resolve any questions or disagreements arising hereunder.

7. Rights in Event of Termination of Employment Absent Change in Control.

(a) If Executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated by the Corporation or the Bank without Cause or is terminated by Executive for Good Reason pursuant to Section 3(c), then Bank shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Executive, within twenty (20) days following termination, a lump sum cash payment equal to two times the sum of (1) the highest Annual Base Salary as defined in Section 4(a) during the immediately preceding three calendar years, (2) the highest cash bonus and other cash incentive compensation earned by him with respect to one of the three calendar years immediately preceding the year of termination and (3) the highest value of stock options and other stock based incentives awarded to the Executive with respect to one of the three calendar years immediately preceding the year of termination, which value shall be based upon the grant-date fair value of the award determined in accordance with SFAS 123(R) (“Share-Based Payments”). The amount shall be subject to federal, state and local tax withholdings. In addition, for a period of two (2) years from the date of termination of employment, Executive shall be permitted to continue participation in, and the Bank shall maintain the same level of contribution for, Executive’s participation in the Bank’s life, disability, medical/health insurance and other health and welfare benefits in effect with respect to Executive during the one (1) year prior to his termination of employment, or, if Bank cannot provide such benefits because Executive is no longer an employee, a dollar amount equal to the cost of Executive of obtaining such benefits (or substantially similar benefits). In addition, if permitted pursuant to the terms of the plan, Executive shall receive additional retirement benefits to which he would have been entitled had his employment continued through the then remaining term of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the value of restricted stock awarded to Executive under the Bank’s 2006 Restricted Stock Plan shall not be included under §7(a)(3) above for purposes of calculating the compensation payable to Executive.

(b) Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 7 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of payment or the benefit provided for in this Section 7 be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result of employment by another employer or by reason of Executive’s receipt of or right to receive any retirement or other benefits after the date of termination of employment or otherwise.

(c) In the event that amounts or benefits payable hereunder, together with any other payments which Executive has a right to receive from the Corporation, the Bank, any affiliates or subsidiaries of the Corporation or the Bank, or any successors of any of the foregoing, result in the imposition of an excise tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 4999 (or any successor thereto), Executive shall be entitled to an additional “excise tax” adjustment payment in an amount such that, after the payment of all federal

- 8 -

and state income and excise taxes, Executive will be in the same after-tax position as if no excise tax had been imposed. Any payment or benefit which is required to be included under Internal Revenue Code Sections 280G or 4999 (or any successor provisions thereto) for purposes of determining whether an excise tax is payable shall be deemed a payment “made to Executive” or a payment “which Executive has a right to receive” for purposes of this provision. The Bank (or its successor) shall be responsible for the costs of calculation of the deductibility of payments end benefits and the excise tax by the Bank’s independent certified accountant and tax counsel and shall notify Executive of the amount of excise tax due prior to the time such excise tax is due. If at any time it is determined that the additional “excise tax” adjustment payment previously made to Executive was insufficient to cover the effect of the excise tax, the gross-up payment pursuant to this provision shall be increased to make Executive whole, including an amount to cover the payment of any penalties resulting from any incorrect or late payment of the excise tax resulting from the prior calculation. All such amounts required to be paid hereunder shall be paid at the time any withholdings may be required (or, if earlier, the time Executive shall be required to pay such amounts) under applicable law, and any additional amounts to which Executive may be entitled shall be paid or reimbursed no later than fifteen (15) days following confirmation of such amount by the Corporation’s independent accountants; provided however, that any payments to be made under this Section 6(c) shall in all events be made no later than the end of the Executive’s taxable year next following the taxable year in which the Executive remits such excise tax payments. In the event any amounts paid hereunder are subsequently determined to be in error because estimates were required or otherwise, the parties agree to reimburse each other to correct such error, as appropriate, and to pay interest thereon at the applicable federal rate (as determined under Code Section 1274 for the period of time such erroneous amount remained outstanding and unreimbursed). The parties recognize that the actual implementation of the provisions of this subsection are complex and agree to deal with each other in good faith to resolve any questions or disagreements arising hereunder.

8. Covenant Not to Compete.

(a) Executive hereby acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the business of the Corporation and the Bank and accordingly agrees that, during and for the applicable period set forth in Section 8(c) hereof, Executive shall not:

(i) enter into or be engaged (other than by the Corporation or the Bank), directly or indirectly, either for his own account or as agent, consultant, employee, partner, officer, director, proprietor, investor (except as an investor owning less than 5% of the stock of a publicly owned company) or otherwise of any person, firm, corporation or enterprise engaged in (1) the banking (including bank holding company) or financial services industry, (2) starting a new bank or (3) any other activity in which the Corporation, Bank or any of its subsidiaries are engaged during the Employment Period, in either case within a fifty (50) mile radius of the legal or principal executive office of the Corporation or the Bank and the office at which the Executive spent the majority of his time (the “Non-Competition

- 9 -

Area”); or

(ii) solicit, directly or indirectly, current or former customers of the Corporation or the Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries to divert their business from the Corporation and/or the Bank; or

(iii) solicit, directly or indirectly, any person who is employed by the Corporation or the Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries to leave the employ of the Corporation or the Bank.

(b) It is expressly understood and agreed that, although the parties consider the restrictions contained in Section 8(a) hereof reasonable for the purpose of preserving for the Corporation, the Bank and its subsidiaries their goodwill and other proprietary rights, if a final judicial determination is made by a court having jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Section 8(a) hereof is an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of Section 8(a) hereof shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such other extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be reasonable.

(c) The provisions of this Section 8 shall be applicable commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing for twelve (12) months after the effective date of the termination of Executive’s employment. Notwithstanding the above provisions, if the Executive violates the provisions of this Section 8 and the Bank must seek enforcement of the provisions of Section 8 and is successful in enforcing the provisions, either pursuant to a settlement agreement, or pursuant to court order, the covenant not to compete will remain in effect for one full year following the date of the settlement agreement or court order.

(d) Executive hereby agrees that the provisions of this Section 8 are fully assignable by the Corporation and the Bank to any successor. Executive also acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Section 8 will not be affected by the circumstances surrounding his termination of employment.

(e) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that any breach of the restrictions set forth in this Section 8 will result in irreparable injury to the Corporation and the Bank for which it shall have no meaningful remedy at law, and the Corporation and the Bank shall be entitled to injunctive relief in order to enforce provisions hereof. Upon obtaining any such final and nonappealable injunction, the Corporation and the Bank shall be entitled to pursue reimbursement from the Executive and/or the Executive’s employer of attorney’s fees and costs reasonably incurred in obtaining such final and nonappealable injunction. In addition, the Corporation and the Bank shall be entitled to pursue reimbursement from the Executive and/or the Executive’s employer of costs reasonably incurred in securing a qualified replacement for any employee enticed away from the Corporation and the Bank by Executive. Further, the Corporation and the Bank shall be entitled to set off against or obtain reimbursement from Executive of any payments owed

- 10 -

or made to the Executive hereunder.

9. 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 and the Bank or a person authorized thereby (except as may be required pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process), knowingly disclose to any person, other than an employee of the Corporation and the 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 and the Bank, any material confidential information obtained by him while in the employ of the Corporation and the Bank with respect to any of the Corporation and the 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 damaging to the Corporation and the 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 other considered confidential by persons engaged in the same business or a business similar to that conducted by the Corporation and the Bank or any information that must be disclosed as required by law.

10. Indemnification; Liability Insurance. The Corporation and the Bank shall indemnify the Executive, to the fullest extent permitted by Pennsylvania law, with respect to any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit or proceeding brought against him by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation and the Bank or is or was serving at the written request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another person or entity. The Executive’s right to indemnification provided herein is not exclusive of any other rights to which Executive may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise, and shall continue beyond the term of this Agreement.

11. Notices. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be deemed properly given if in writing and if mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid with return receipt requested, to Executive’s address, in the case of notices to Executive, and to the principal executive office of the Corporation, in the case of notice to the Corporation or the Bank.

12. Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and an executive officer specifically designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.

13. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by any party, except by Bank and the Corporation to any successor in interest to its business.

- 11 -

14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes and replaces any prior written or oral agreements between them respecting the within subject matter, including, without limitation, the Original Agreement.

15. Successors; Binding Agreement.

(a) The Corporation and the Bank will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation and/or the Bank to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation and the Bank would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Corporation” and “Bank” shall mean the Corporation and the Bank, as defined previously and any successor to its respective business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise.

(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees or legatees. If Executive should die after a notice of termination pursuant to Section 3(c) or 5(a) is delivered by Executive, or following termination of Executive’s employment without Cause, and any amounts would be payable to Executive under this Agreement if Executive had continued to live, all such amounts shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee, or other designee, or, if there is no such designee, to Executive’s estate.

16. Arbitration. The Corporation, the Bank and Executive recognize that in the event a dispute should arise between them concerning the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement, lengthy and expensive litigation will not afford a practical resolution of the issues within a reasonable period of time. Consequently, with the exception of the covenant not to compete provisions in Section 8, which the Corporation and/or the Bank may seek to enforce in any court of competent jurisdiction, each party agrees that all disputes, disagreements and questions of interpretation concerning this Agreement are to be submitted to resolution, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to the American Arbitration Association (the “Association”) in accordance with the Association’s National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes or other applicable rules then in effect (“Rules”). The Corporation, the Bank or Executive may initiate an arbitration proceeding at any time by giving notice to the other in accordance with the Rules. The Corporation, the Bank and Executive may, as a matter or right, mutually agree on the appointment of a particular arbitrator from the Association’s pool. The arbitrator shall not be bound by the rules of evidence and procedure of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania but shall be bound by the substantive law applicable to this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator, absent fraud, duress, incompetence or gross and obvious error of act, shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be enforceable in courts of proper jurisdiction. Following written notice of a request for arbitration, the Corporation, Bank and Executive shall be entitled to an injunction restraining all further proceedings in any pending or subsequently filed litigation concerning this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein.

- 12 -

17. Legal Expenses. Bank will pay to the Executive all reasonable legal fees and expenses when incurred by the Executive in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by this Agreement, provided he brings the action in good faith and is successful on the merits.

18. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

19. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic, internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

20. Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction or limit the scope or intent of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

21. 409A Safe Harbor. The parties hereto intend that any and all post-employment compensation under this Agreement satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations or guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) or an exception or exclusion therefrom to avoid the imposition of any accelerated or additional taxes pursuant to Section 409A. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Corporation or the Bank be obligated to commence payment or distribution to the Executive of any amount that constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A earlier than the earliest permissible date under Section 409A that such amount could be paid without any accelerated or additional taxes or interest being imposed under Section 409A. The Corporation, the Bank and the Executive agree that they will execute any and all amendments to this Agreement as they mutually agree in good faith may be necessary to ensure compliance with the distribution provisions of Section 409A and to cause any and all amounts due under this Agreement, the payment or distribution of which is delayed pursuant to Section 409A, to be paid or distributed in a single sum payment at the earliest permissible date under Section 409A.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of November 12, 2008, by and among GRAYSTONE FINANCIAL CORP., a Pennsylvania business corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Corporation”), GRAYSTONE BANK, a Pennsylvania state chartered bank (hereinafter referred to as the “Bank”), and XXXXX XXXX (hereinafter referred to as “Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Executive is now serving as Executive Vice President of the Corporation and the Bank; and

WHEREAS, the Corporation, the Bank and Executive are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of October 3, 2007 (the “Employment Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Executive would be entitled to certain benefits if he terminated his employment for any reason within 30 days after a “Change in Control” as defined therein; and

WHEREAS, the Corporation and Tower Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation having its principal office in Greencastle, Pennsylvania (“Tower”), are parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 12, 2008 (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the Corporation will merge with and into Tower, with Tower as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”) and, upon the completion of the Merger, Greencastle will merge with and into the Bank and the Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tower;

WHEREAS, the Merger will constitute a “Change in Control” of the Corporation and the Bank under the Change in Control Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Corporation and the Bank consider the continued services of Executive to be in the best interests of the Corporation and the Bank; and

WHEREAS, upon consummation of the Merger, Executive is to be employed as an Executive Vice President of the Corporation and the Bank; and

WHEREAS, the Corporation, the Bank and Executive desire to enter into this Amendment in light of the pending Merger and to ensure that the Agreement complies with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, intending to be legally bound hereby, Executive, the Corporation and the Bank agree as follows:

1. Upon consummation of the Merger, Executive shall be employed as Executive Vice President of the Corporation and the Bank.

2. Executive hereby agrees that he shall not exercise his right pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Employment Agreement to terminate his employment with the Bank within thirty (30) days of the Merger. Executive hereby irrevocably waives any entitlement to benefits under the Employment Agreement as a result of any such voluntary termination should he breach his agreement in the foregoing sentence.

3. Effective on the date hereof, Section 3(e) of the Employment Agreement is amended in its entirety, to read as follows:

(e) Disability. Executive, Corporation and Bank agree that if Executive becomes Disabled, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and the regulations thereunder, and becomes eligible for employer-provided short-term and/or long-term disability benefits, or worker’s compensation benefits, then Graystone Bank’s obligation to pay Executive his Annual Base Salary shall be reduced by the amount of the disability or worker’s compensation benefits received by Executive.

Executive, Corporation and Bank agree that if, in the judgment of the Corporation’s Board of Directors, the Executive is unable, as a result of illness or injury, to perform the essential functions of his position on a full-time basis with or without a reasonable accommodation and without posing a direct threat to himself or others for a period of six months, the Corporation and the Bank will suffer an undue hardship in continuing the Executive’s employment as set forth in this agreement. Accordingly, this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the six-month period, and all of Executive’s rights under this Agreement shall cease, with the exception of those rights which Executive may have under the Bank’s benefit plans.

4. Effective on the date hereof, Section 5(b) of the Employment Agreement defining the term “Change in Control” is amended in its entirety, to redefine “Change in Control”, to read as follows:

(b) As used in this Agreement, “Change in Control” of the Corporation or the Bank shall mean a change in the ownership or effective control applicable to the Corporation or the Bank as described in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any successor provision thereto) and the regulations thereunder.

5. Effective on the date hereof, the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to add a new Section 22 to read as follows:

22. Specified Employee Status. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event Executive is determined to be a Specified Employee, as that term is defined in Section 409A, payments to such Specified Employee under paragraphs 6 or 7, other than payments qualifying as short term deferrals or an exempt separation pay arrangement under Section 409A, shall not begin earlier than the first day of the seventh

- 2 -

month after the date of termination.

For purposes of the foregoing, the date upon which a determination is made as to the Specified Employee status of the Executive, the Identification Date (as defined in Section 409A) shall be December 31.

6. Effective with the consummation of the Merger, the Employment Agreement is hereby amended so that all references therein to the Corporation shall be deemed references to Tower, and Tower, as successor to Graystone Financial Corp., shall be responsible for all of the obligations of the Corporation to Executive under the Employment Agreement as specifically provided in Section 15(a) of the Employment Agreement.

7. Effective upon consummation of the Merger, Section 8(a)(i) of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to revise the Non-Competition Area as follows:

(i) enter into or be engaged (other than by the Corporation or the Bank), directly or indirectly, either for his own account or as agent, consultant, employee, partner, officer, director, proprietor, investor (except as an investor owning less than 5% of the stock of a publicly owned company) or otherwise of any person, firm, corporation or enterprise engaged in (1) the banking (including bank holding company) or financial services industry, or (2) any other activity in which Corporation or Bank or any of their subsidiaries are engaged during the Employment Period, in any county in which, at the date of termination of the Executive’s employment, a branch location, office, loan production office, or trust or asset and wealth management office of Corporation, Bank, or any of their subsidiaries are located (“Non-Competition Area”); or

8. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Employment Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall continue after consummation of the Merger. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

9. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and, to the extent permitted hereunder, assigns.
