Agreement shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to make the
payments specified herein, and the Company shall not be obligated
under any circumstances to fund any of its obligations hereunder.
The Company may, however, at its sole and exclusive option, elect
to purchase or set aside assets to make provision for payment of
such obligations in whole or in part. In all events, any such
assets shall be subject to the claims of the general creditors of
the Company. If the Company shall make such an election, the
manner and the continuance or discontinuance thereof shall be the
sole and exclusive decision of the Company.
10. INVESTMENT. The Company shall have the discretion to
invest, or not invest, all or any portion of any funds it may set
aside to fund its obligations under this Agreement. However,
nothing herein shall be construed as requiring such investment.
If the Company invests all or any portion of such funds, it may
invest and reinvest in such bonds, domestic or foreign, common or
preferred stocks of any Company organized under the laws of any
State in the United States or any foreign government, diversified
investment companies and mutual funds, notes secured by mortgage
or deed of trust on real estate, domestic or foreign,
certificates or other evidence of right, tide, interest,
debentures and any other class or classes of property, domestic
or foreign, whether real or personal, or life insurance policies
issued on the life of the Executive. If the Company desires to
invest all or any portion of such funds in a life insurance
policy or policies issued upon the life of the Executive, then he
or she shall assist the Company by submitting to a physical
examination and supplying any additional information necessary or
helpful to the Company to obtain such insurance.
11. OTHER BENEFITS AND AGREEMENTS. The benefits provided
for the Executive herein are in addition to any other benefits
the Executive may have under any other Agreement or program of
the Company or its subsidiaries, and shall supplement and shall
not supersede any other agreement between the Company or its
subsidiaries and the Executive or any provision contained
therein.
6
12. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION. The Executive shall have the
right to designate the person or persons who shall have the right
to receive any payments which may be required to be paid by the
Company pursuant to this Agreement to any person other than the
Executive. Such designation shall be in a form acceptable to the
Company and shall be valid upon receipt by the Company. Attached
hereto as Exhibit "A" is a form of beneficiary designation
acceptable to the Company. Any beneficiary designation made
under this Agreement shall be revocable at any time unless
expressly made irrevocable. If at the time of the Executive's
death there is no beneficiary designated for purposes of
receiving any payments which may be due from the Company
hereunder or if such designated beneficiary fails to survive the
Executive, such payments shall be paid to the Executive's estate.
13. COMPETITION.
(a) During the term of this Agreement and for a period
of two years after the termination or expiration hereof, the
Executive will not, within Somerset County, Pennsylvania,

the clients, customers, or accounts, or prospective clients,
customers or accounts, of the Company or any of its affiliates
which were contacted, solicited or served by the Employee while
employed by the Company or any of its affiliates.
(b) If any restriction set forth in this Section 13 is
found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable
because it extends for too long a period of time or over too
great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it
shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of
time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may
be enforceable.
(c) The restrictions contained in this Section 13
hereof are necessary for the protection of the business and
goodwill of the Company and are considered by the Executive to be
reasonable for such purpose. The Executive agrees that any
breach of this Section 13 hereof will cause the Company and its
affiliates substantial and irreparable harm and, therefore, in
the event of any such breach, in addition to such other remedies
that may be available, the Company or any of its affiliates shall

otherwise) to all or a significant portion of its assets, by
agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive,
expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the
same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform this Agreement if no such succession had
