Mr. Blair, age 56, was recently a client advisor with Neuberger Berman (Lehman). Prior to that, he was President of Wilmington Advisors from 2005 to 2007, where he developed WSFS into a leading provider of wealth management services. His experience from 1999 to 2005 includes leadership roles with Commerce Bank’s capital markets and investment divisions, and Advest, Inc.’s taxable fixed income and municipal and equities securities group. As President of J.D. Blair Securities Group in Boston from 1992 to 1999, he advised private equity firms, sophisticated individual investors with high net worth, mutual funds, pension funds and financial institutions. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Blair and any person(s) other than the Corporation and the Bank pursuant to which he was selected as an executive. There are no family relationships between Mr. Blair and any director or other executive officer of the Corporation.

Mr. Blair has entered into an employment agreement with Harleysville Management Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, effective April 17, 2008 (the “Agreement”). There is no information required to be disclosed regarding related party transactions between the Corporation and Mr. Blair or his immediate family.

Among various provisions, the material terms of the Agreement are summarized as follows:

1.   The initial term of the agreement is 2 years.  The Agreement automatically extends for an additional year beginning on the second anniversary of the date of the Agreement and then on the same date of each subsequent year unless either party gives 120 days notice of non-renewal.

2.   If Mr. Blair’s employment is terminated for “cause”, as defined in the agreement, all rights and benefits under the Agreement terminate automatically.

3.   If Mr. Blair’s employment is terminated without cause or for “good reason,” he will receive a payment equal to 1 times his then annual base salary payable in twelve equal monthly installments and continue to receive benefits for twelve months or until substantially similar benefits
