ARTICLE I –
Introduction
A vital component of the success of
First Chester County Corporation (“Corporation”) is the
ability of the executive management team to meet and achieve
performance objectives consistent with the strategic objectives of
the Corporation and the best interests of its shareholders.
The ability to grow and manage the Corporation in a positive manner
is critical to the Corporation’s future success. This
Executive Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which includes both
an Annual Incentive Plan and a Long Term Incentive Plan, has been
developed as a meaningful compensation tool to encourage the growth
and proper management of the Corporation. The major purposes
of the Plan are:
·
To motivate and reward executives
for positive performance of the Corporation on an annual
basis;
·
To provide additional compensation
to executives that is directly linked to their individual and
collective performance; and
·
To emphasize the long term growth
and profitability of the Corporation.
The focus of this Plan is to provide
an incentive for the executive team to achieve annual and longer
term performance objectives that are coordinated with the
objectives of the Corporation.

ARTICLE III
– Participation
3.1
(a)
Participation in
the Plan will be determined at the beginning of each Plan Year by
the CEO and the President, and will be approved by the Board of
Directors. To participate, an Employee must be a regular
employee of the Corporation with on-going responsibilities that are
executive in nature and that have a meaningful impact on the
Corporation’s results. Participation in the Plan by the
CEO and the President will be approved annually by the Board of
Directors. Generally, Participants will include officers at
the Senior Vice President level and above.
1.
Exhibit A will list
Participants each year in the Annual Incentive Plan and
Exhibit C, the Participants in the Long Term Incentive
Plan. Those exhibits may include multiple levels of
participation. These levels will generally be based upon
position responsibility.
2.
An Employee may become a new
Participant during the Plan Year if newly hired. Any awards
will be pro-rated for the portion of the year in which
participation occurs, unless otherwise approved by the Board.
The CEO and the President will make the final determination (with
Board approval) of new participation during the Plan Year for any
position other than that of CEO or President. The Board of
Directors will decide on the participation of any new CEO or
President.
3.
A Participant’s eligibility
will cease at the termination of employment (other than retirement,
death or disability) and the Participant will not receive any
awards under the Plan for the Plan Year of employment
termination. Termination as a result of retirement, death or
disability will result in pro-rated awards under the Plan through
the last working date for the Plan Year in which termination
occurred, or, in the case of multi-year awards, as otherwise
determined by the Board of Directors.

ARTICLE IV
– Performance Factors under the Annual Incentive
Plan
4.1
(a)
The Annual
Incentive benefits provided under the Plan are based upon the
Corporation’s financial performance factors, which may be
amended as provided in Section 7.2. In general, these
factors will be measures such as return on assets, return on
equity, net income, earnings per share or similar indicators.
The factors and weighing of the factors are determined at the
beginning of each Plan Year. Each factor has quantifiable
objectives consisting of threshold, target and optimum goals.
Additionally, a portion of each Participant’s award may be
based on unit, team, functional area, and individual performance
objectives that are determined by management at the beginning of
each Plan Year. Generally, the CEO and President will have
most or all of their performance based on the Corporation’s
overall performance, and other Participants will have a
proportionately greater level of their award based on individual
performance or the performance of an area of
responsibility.
(b)
The Corporation’s performance
factors for each year’s Annual Incentive awards under the
Plan will be set forth in Exhibit B, which may be changed from
time to time. Individual Participant objectives will be
established after discussion between the Participant and the
Participant’s manager (usually the CEO or
President).
ARTICLE V –
Award Calculation and Distribution under the Annual Incentive
Plan
5.1
Awards under the
Plan are calculated according to determination of the established
performance factors at the end of each Plan Year. The
Corporation’s performance between the threshold and target,
and between the target and optimum will be interpolated.
Unit, team, and functional area performance, if applicable, is
determined by the CEO and the President. Individual
performance is determined by each Participant’s manager, as
approved by the CEO and the President. An individual
Participant’s performance that does not meet the
position’s requirements (an annual performance evaluation
that is less than satisfactory) will result in no award granted to
that Participant for that Plan Year even though the
Corporation’s performance is above threshold.
If
4
the
Corporation’s performance is below the threshold, no award
(including no individual award) will be granted under the Annual
Incentive portion of the Plan for that Plan Year.
5.2
Annual awards are
paid in cash less required income tax withholding. Payment
will be within two and a half months after the end of the Plan
Year. Any Participant terminating employment (except by
retirement, death, or disability) prior to the actual payment of
the award will forfeit that award. The award schedule for
each Plan Year is found with the performance factors in
Exhibit B, as changed from time to time.
