WHEREAS, the Bank is a subsidiary of the Corporation; and,

WHEREAS, the Executive currently is employed by the Employers as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and of the Corporation; and

WHEREAS, the Executive has announced his intention to retire as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and of the Corporation, such retirement to be effective upon the conclusion of the annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to be held in 2009; and

WHEREAS, the Employers and the Executive desire to enter into this Agreement to provide for the continuing employment of Executive by the Employers following his retirement as President and Chief Executive Officer upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

1. EMPLOYMENT AND EMPLOYMENT TERM. The Corporation and Bank hereby shall employ the Executive and the Executive hereby accepts employment with the Corporation and the Bank under and pursuant to this Agreement for a term beginning upon the completion of the annual meeting of shareholders of the Corporation to be held in 2009 and ending on the third (3 rd ) annual anniversary thereof (the “Term”), unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.

2. POSITION, DUTIES, AND PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. The Executive shall serve as the President Emeritus of the Corporation and the Bank, and as President of the Orrstown Bank Foundation (the “Foundation”). As President Emeritus of the Corporation and the Bank, Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank, and shall have such powers and duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank. As President of the Foundation, the Executive shall have the general powers and duties of supervision and management usually vested in the office of President, subject to such limitations thereon as may be imposed by the Foundation’s governing instruments, and shall coordinate the development efforts of the Foundation. The Executive’s primary office shall be located at such place as the Board of Directors shall determine.

3. ENGAGEMENT IN OTHER EMPLOYMENT. The Executive shall, during the Term of this Agreement, notify the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank in writing and receive written approval from the Corporation and Bank before the Executive engages in any other business or commercial activities, duties or pursuits, including, but not limited to, directorships of other companies. Under no circumstance, during the term of this Agreement, may the Executive engage in any business or commercial activities, duties or pursuits which compete with the business or commercial activities of the Corporation and 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 and the Bank. Executive shall not be precluded, however, from engaging in voluntary or philanthropic endeavors or from engaging in activities incident or necessary to personal investments, so long as they are, in the Boards’ reasonable opinion, not in conflict with or detrimental to the Executive’s rendition of services on behalf of the Bank and Corporation.

4. SALARY. During the term of this Agreement, the Bank shall pay to the Executive an annual salary at a rate of $100,000.00 per year (the “Salary”).

(b) Business Expenses. During the term of his employment hereunder, the Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by him (in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the Bank for its senior executive officers) in performing services hereunder, provided that the Executive properly accounts therefore in accordance with Corporation and Bank policy.

This provision shall survive termination of the Executive’s employment under this Agreement and/or termination of this Agreement.
