Article 6

          6.1 Claims Procedure. The Company shall notify any person or entity that claims a right to an interest against this Group Term Replacement Plan (the “Claimant”) in writing, within ninety (90) days of his or her written application for benefits, of his or her eligibility or ineligibility for benefits under this Plan. If the Company determines that the Claimant is not eligible for benefits or full benefits, the notice shall set forth (1) the specific reasons for such denial, (2) a specific reference to the provisions of this Plan on which the denial is based, (3) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim, and a description of why it is needed, and (4) an explanation of this Plan’s claims review procedure and other appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to have the claim reviewed.

Claimant of the special circumstances and the date by which a decision is expected to be made, and may extend the time for up to an additional ninety-day period.

          6.2 Review Procedure. If the Claimant is determined by the Company not to be eligible for benefits, or if the Claimant believes that he or she is entitled to greater or different benefits, the Claimant shall have the opportunity to have such claim reviewed by the Company by filing a petition for review with the Company within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice issued by the Company. Said petition shall state the specific reasons which the Claimant believes entitle him or her to benefits or to greater or different benefits. Within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the petition, the Company shall afford the Claimant (and counsel, if any) an opportunity to present his or her position to the Company orally or in writing, and the Claimant (or counsel) shall have the right to review the pertinent documents. The Company shall notify the Claimant of its decision in writing within the sixty-day period, stating specifically the basis of its decision, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and the specific provisions of this Plan on which the decision is based. If, because of the need for a hearing, the sixty-day period is not sufficient, the decision may be deferred for up to another sixty-day period at the election of the Company, but notice of this deferral shall be given to the Claimant.

Article 7
Amendments and Termination

          7.1 Except as provided in paragraph 8.1 of Article 8 herein, the Company may amend or terminate this Plan at any time.

Article 8
Miscellaneous

          8.1 Option to Purchase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company decides to sell, surrender or transfer ownership of the Policies while this Plan is in effect, the Company shall first give notice of such intention to the Participant or the Participant’s transferee and shall allow the Participant or the Participant’s transferee the option to purchase the Policies for a period of sixty (60) days from written notice of such intention. The purchase price shall be an amount equal to the greater of the cash surrender value of the Policies or the aggregate premiums paid on the Policies by the Company less any outstanding indebtedness to the Insurer. This provision shall not impair the right of the Company to terminate this Plan. If the Participant or the Participant’s transferee does not exercise the option to purchase, the Company may sell, surrender or transfer ownership of the Policies; provided, however, that if the Participant has attained the Normal Retirement Age, the Company must provide an insurance policy comparable to cover the benefit provided under this Plan. The Participant or the Participant’s transferee shall not have an option to purchase, and the Participant or the Participant’s transferee shall forfeit all rights under the Plan in the event 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 or by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking pursuant to state law.

          8.2 Binding Effect. This Plan in conjunction with each Split Dollar Endorsement shall bind each Participant and the Company, their beneficiaries, survivors, executors, administrators and transferees, and any Policy beneficiary.

          8.3 No Guarantee of Service. This Plan is not a contract for director services. It does not give the Participant the right to remain a director of the Company, nor does it interfere with the Company’s right to remove the Participant. It also does not require the Participant to remain a director nor interfere with the Participant’s right to terminate his or her directorship at any time.

108


          8.4 Applicable Law. The Plan and all rights hereunder shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, except to the extent preempted by the laws of the United States of America.

          8.5 Reorganization. The Company shall not merge or consolidate into or with another company, or reorganize, or sell substantially all of its assets to another company, firm or person unless such succeeding or continuing company, firm or person agrees to assume and discharge the obligations of the Company.

          8.6 Notice. Any notice, consent or demand required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Plan by one party to another shall be in writing, shall be signed by the party giving or making the same, and may be given either by delivering the same to such other party personally, or by mailing the same, by United States certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party, addressed to his or her last known address as shown on the records of the Company. The date of such mailing shall be deemed the date of such mailed notice, consent or demand.
