Exhibit 10.20
THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE
THE XXXXX NATIONAL BANK
DIRECTOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENT FOR
XXXXX X. XXXXXXXXXXX
THIS THIRD AMENDMENT (the “Amendment”) is adopted effective the first day of January, 2012, by and between The Xxxxx National Bank, located in Gratz, Pennsylvania (the “Bank”), and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxx (the “Director”).
The Bank and the Director are parties to a certain Director Deferred Compensation Agreement dated January 8, 2002 and amended two times subsequently (collectively, the “Agreement”). The Bank and the Director now wish to change the manner of calculating the interest credited on the deferred amounts in the Agreement.
Now, therefore, the Bank and the Director agree as follows.
Paragraph V. of the Agreement entitled “Interest on the Deferred Compensation Account” shall be deleted and replaced with the following:
On December 31 of each year for as long as there is a balance in the Directors Deferred Compensation Account, the Directors Deferred Compensation Account shall be credited with an amount in addition to the fees credited under Paragraph IV. Such annual amount shall be determined by multiplying the balance of the Directors Deferred Compensation Account by a rate of interest equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the average of the interest rate on the ten year Treasury instrument for the plan year as quoted in the Wall Street Journal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall the Crediting Rate be less than two percent (2.0%) or greater than six percent (6.0%).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Director and a representative of the Bank have executed this Amendment as indicated below:

409A Amendment
to the
Xxxxx National Bank
Director Deferred Compensation Agreement for
Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxx
The Xxxxx National Bank (“Bank”) and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxx (“Director”) originally entered into the Xxxxx National Bank Director Deferred Compensation Agreement (“Agreement”) on January 8, 2002, which was subsequently amended on December 29, 2006. Pursuant to Section XXII of the Agreement, the Bank and the Director hereby adopt this 409A Amendment, effective January 1, 2005.
RECITALS
This Amendment is intended to bring the Agreement into compliance with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Accordingly, the intent of the parties hereto is that the Agreement shall be operated and interpreted consistent with the requirements of Section 409A. Therefore, the following changes shall be made:
ELECTION OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION
The Director shall, at the same time as entering into this Agreement, file a written statement with the Bank notifying the Bank as to the percent (%) or dollar amount of fees as defined in Section II that is to be deferred.
Deferral Elections – In General:
In any Plan Year during which Director defers compensation (as defined herein), Director shall file a Deferral Election Form for any compensation deferred. Such form shall be filed with the Plan Administrator no later than the close of the Director’s taxable year next preceding the service year, and such election and is effective only to defer compensation that has not yet been earned by the Director at the time of the election.
A deferral election submitted for a particular year may continue to be valid for succeeding years until changed or modified. Deferral elections, once made, however, are irrevocable as of the last permissible date on which such deferral elections may be made.
Initial Deferral Election(s):
Upon notification of eligibility in this Agreement during the initial Plan Year, and if Director elects to defer compensation, Director shall deliver to the Plan Administrator:
Director shall deliver such forms to the Plan Administrator within thirty (30) days of notification of eligibility, and shall set forth on the forms the amount of compensation to be deferred.
2
Subsequent Changes to Time and Form of Payment:
The Bank may permit a subsequent change to form and timing of payments (a “subsequent deferral election”). Any such change shall be considered made only when it becomes irrevocable under the terms of the Agreement. Any subsequent deferral election will be considered irrevocable not later than thirty (30) days following acceptance of the change by the Plan Administrator, subject to the following rules:
PAYMENT OF MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS
Installment payments of deferred amounts shall commence on the first day of the calendar month following the Director’s Separation from Service due to resignation, removal, failure to be re-elected, or the Director’s sixty-fifth (65th) birthday.
Separation from Service:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any benefit under this Agreement is payable upon a “Termination of Employment,” “Termination of Service,” or other event involving the Director’s cessation of services, such payment(s) shall not be made unless such event constitutes a “Separation from Service” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-l(h).
Restriction on Timing of Distribution:
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, distributions under this Agreement may not commence earlier than six (6) months after the date of a Separation from Service (as described under the “Separation from Service” provision herein) if, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the participant hereto is considered a “specified employee” (under Internal Revenue Code Section 416(i)) of the Bank if any stock of the Bank is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise. In the event a distribution is delayed pursuant to this Section, the originally scheduled distribution shall be delayed for six (6) months, and shall commence instead on the first day of the seventh month following Separation from Service. If payments are scheduled to be made in installments, the first six (6) months of installment payments shall be delayed, aggregated, and paid instead on the first day
3
of the seventh month, after which all installment payments shall be made on their regular schedule. If payment is scheduled to be made in a lump sum, the lump sum payment shall be delayed for six (6) months and instead be made on the first day of the seventh month.
Certain Accelerated Payments:
The Bank may make any accelerated distribution permissible under Treasury Regulation l.409A-3(j)(4) to the Director of deferred amounts, provided that such distribution(s) meets the requirements of Section l.409A-3(j)(4).
Therefore, the foregoing changes are agreed to.

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this day of , 2001, by and between The Xxxxx National Bank, a banking corporation incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania (hereinafter referred to as the “Bank”), and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxxx (hereinafter referred to as the “Director”);
WHEREAS, the Bank and the Director wish to enter into an agreement relating to the Director’s services to the Bank upon the terms and conditions herein set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the payments herein provided and of mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
So long as the Director shall continue to be a director of the Bank, the Director shall devote the Director’s best efforts to the performance of the Director’s duties as a member of the Board of Directors and any of the Bank’s committees to which the Director is appointed.
The fees covered under this Agreement shall be any and all amounts paid to the Director for the Director’s services as a director, including, but not limited to, annual fees, meeting fees, and committee fees. In addition, the fees shall include any salary or bonus that is paid to the Director by the Bank. The fees covered under this Agreement shall be credited to the Director in the manner and on the terms and conditions specified in Paragraph IV, subject to the election requirement of Paragraph III.
The Director shall, at the same time as entering this Agreement, file a written statement with the Bank notifying the Bank as to the percent (%) or dollar amount of fees as defined in Paragraph II that is to be deferred. The election to defer fees may only be made for fees not yet earned as of the date of said election. Signed written statements filed under this section, unless modified or revoked, shall be valid for all succeeding years. Any modification or revocation of a signed written statement must be in writing and shall be effective for one (1) calendar year succeeding the year in which the modification or revocation is made.
The Bank shall establish a bookkeeping account for the Director (hereinafter called the “Director’s Deferred Compensation Account”) which shall be credited on the dates such fees, as defined in Paragraph II, would otherwise have been paid with the percentage or dollar amount that the Director has notified the Bank in writing, pursuant to Paragraph III, that the Director elected to have deferred.
The Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be credited with an amount that is in addition to the fees credited under Paragraph IV. Such amount shall be determined by multiplying the balance of the Director’s Deferred Compensation Account by a rate of interest equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the average one year Treasury instrument for the plan year as quoted in the Wall Street Journal. Such rate shall be adjusted annually. Such amount shall be credited as long as
7

The Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be utilized solely as a device for the measurement and determination of the amount of deferred compensation to be paid to the Director at the times hereinafter specified and the Bank shall not segregate any of its assets in order to satisfy any obligations under this Agreement. The Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall not constitute or be treated as a trust fund of any kind. On the contrary, it is understood that all amounts credited to the Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be for the sole purpose of bookkeeping and remain the sole property of the Bank, and that the Director shall have no ownership rights of any nature with respect thereto. The Director’s rights are limited to the rights to receive payments as hereinafter provided, and the Director’s position with respect thereto is that of a general unsecured creditor of the Bank.
The amounts in the Director’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be paid in equal monthly installments for one hundred and twenty (120) months.

Installment payments of deferred amounts shall commence on the first day of the calendar month following the end of the Director’s term of office due to resignation, removal, failure to be re-elected, or the Director’s sixty-fifth (65th) birthday or five (5) years from October 26, 2001, whichever is later.
In the event of the death of the Director prior to termination of service or commencement of payments, payments shall commence under this Paragraph within thirty (30) days after the Director’s death and shall be made to a beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Director in writing and delivered to the Bank’s president. The Director shall have the right to change the designated beneficiary from time to time. In the event no designation is made, the Director’s account balance1 shall be paid, in a lump sum, to the Director’s estate. The amount of the payments to be made under this Paragraph shall be calculated as if the Director had survived to the later of five (5) years from October 26, 2001 or age sixty-five (65) and continued the dollar amount of deferrals made in the calendar year prior to the Director’s date of death until that time with an annual interest crediting rate equal to the rate applicable to the Plan Year prior to the Director’s date of death. The Bank shall annually calculate the amount payable pursuant to this Paragraph and advise the Director no later than June 30th the amount that would be payable to the Director's beneficiary in the event of the Director’s death.
1 Deferrals plus credited interest

The Director shall have the right to change the Director’s designated beneficiary from time to time. In the event no designation is made, the Director’s account balance1 shall be paid, in a lump sum to the Director’s estate.
