("Patapsco"), on the one hand, and Parkville Federal Savings Bank, a federal
savings bank ("Parkville"), on the other hand.
BACKGROUND
The parties have determined that it would be desirable and in their
respective best interests, including the best interests of their respective
stockholders for (i) Patapsco to form Patapsco Acquisition Bank ("NewSub") to
become a wholly owned subsidiary of Patapsco, and to merge NewSub with and into
Parkville (the "Merger"), in accordance with the Plan of Merger (the "Plan of
Merger") attached as Exhibit A hereto, pursuant to which each of the issued and
outstanding shares of Parkville common stock, $1.00 par value per share
("Parkville Common Stock"), shall be automatically by operation of law converted
into the right to receive the Per Share Purchase Price (referred in Section 1.3
below) and the issued and outstanding shares of NewSub common stock shall be
converted by operation of law into an equal number of newly issued shares of
Parkville Common Stock all of which shall be owned by Patapsco, and (ii)
immediately following the Merger, Parkville shall be liquidated into Patapsco
(the "Liquidation").
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby
agree as follows:

action on the part of NewSub or Parkville or the holders of shares of common
stock of NewSub or Parkville each outstanding share of Parkville Common Stock
issued and outstanding at the Merger Effective Time (except for Dissenting
Shares as defined in Section 1.6 hereof and shares referred to in paragraph (b)

cash in the amount of $62.51 "Per Share Purchase Price" (for all holders, the
"Aggregate Purchase Price").
(b) Any shares of Parkville Common Stock that are owned or held by
Parkville or any of its subsidiaries (except shares held in any 401(k) plan of

Patapsco or any of Patapsco's subsidiaries (other than in a fiduciary capacity)
at the Merger Effective Time shall cease to exist, and the certificates for such

payment to ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the stock options shall be paid by Patapsco to ▇▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ at or prior to the Closing and shall be subject to all applicable federal
and state tax withholding obligations. The outstanding stock options to be
canceled in exchange for payment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
shall not be deemed to be stock options issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time.
(d) Each share of common stock of NewSub issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Merger Effective Time shall, automatically by virtue of the
effectiveness of the Merger and without necessity of any action on the part of
the holder thereof, be canceled and converted into an equal number of shares of
common stock of the Surviving Institution.

(e) At the Merger Effective Time, the holders of certificates representing
shares of Parkville Common Stock shall cease to have any rights as stockholders
of Parkville, except the right to receive such holders' pro rata share of the

(e) From and after the Merger Effective Time:

and all debts due on whatever account, including subscriptions to shares,

(ii) The Surviving Institution shall be responsible and liable for all
the liabilities and obligations of each of Parkville and NewSub. Any claim

Surviving Institution may be substituted in its place. Neither the rights
of creditors nor any liens upon the property of either Parkville or NewSub
shall be impaired by the Merger.
1.5 Exchange of Shares for Cash.
---------------------------
(a) Patapsco shall act as exchange agent ("Agent"), for the benefit of the
holders of Parkville Common Stock. Immediately prior to the Merger Effective
Time, the Patapsco shall deposit into a segregated account at Patapsco, such
funds as may be payable in connection with the Aggregate Purchase Price.
(b) Each holder of a certificate or certificates theretofore evidencing
outstanding shares of Parkville Common Stock (other than as provided in Section
1.3(b)), upon surrender of such certificate or certificates and an executed
letter of transmittal to the Agent, shall be entitled to receive the product of
(i) the Per Share Purchase Price and (ii) the number of shares of Parkville
Common Stock represented by such certificate or certificates (such product being
referred to herein as the "Merger Consideration"). At the Closing (as defined in
Section 2.1 herein), Parkville shall provide the Patapsco with mailing labels
for its stockholders of record as of the Merger Effective Time, and within five
business days after the Merger Effective Time, the Agent will send to each
Parkville stockholder of record at the Merger Effective Time a letter of
transmittal and instructions for surrendering to the Agent outstanding
certificates formerly evidencing Parkville Common Stock in exchange for the
Merger Consideration. Upon surrender, each certificate evidencing Parkville
Common Stock shall be canceled.
3
(c) Until surrendered as provided in this Section 1.5, each outstanding
certificate which, prior to the Merger Effective Time, represented Parkville
Common Stock (other than shares canceled at the Merger Effective Time pursuant
to Section 1.3(b) hereof) will be deemed for all purposes to evidence ownership
of the right to receive cash payable for the Merger Consideration. After the
Merger Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on
the records of Parkville of outstanding certificates formerly representing
shares of Parkville Common Stock and, if a certificate formerly representing
such shares is presented to the Patapsco, it shall be forwarded to the Agent for
cancellation and exchange for cash representing the Merger Consideration as
herein provided.
(d) All cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of Parkville Common Stock
as provided herein shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of
all rights pertaining to such shares of Parkville Common Stock.
(e) In the event any certificate for Parkville Common Stock shall have been
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost,
stolen or destroyed certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by
the holder thereof, cash for the Merger Consideration, as may be required
pursuant hereto; provided, however, that Patapsco may, in its reasonable
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the
owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate to deliver a bond in such
sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against
Patapsco, Parkville, the Agent or any other party with respect to the
certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration which remains undistributed by
the Agent to the holders of Parkville Common Stock six months after the
Effective Time shall be deemed property of Patapsco and any holders of Parkville
Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with Section 1.5(b) shall
thereafter look only to Patapsco as creditors with respect to the Merger
Consideration with respect to which their shares of Parkville Common Stock was
formerly represented and to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section
1.3 of this Agreement. Any such portion of the Merger Consideration remaining
unclaimed by holders of Parkville Common Stock five years after the Effective
Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would
otherwise escheat to or become subject to the abandoned property law of any
jurisdiction) shall, to the extent permitted by law, become the property of
Patapsco free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously
entitled thereto.
1.6 Dissenting Shares. Except for purposes of determining the total number
-----------------
of shares of Parkville Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Merger Effective Time, the provisions of Sections 1.3 and 1.5 hereof shall
not apply to any shares of Parkville Common Stock that shall be held by holders
who properly demand the relief to which dissenting stockholders are entitled
under Section 552.14 of the OTS Regulations ("Dissenting Shares"), it being
intended that any holder of Dissenting Shares shall have in consideration for
the cancellation of such Dissenting Shares only such rights as may be given to
such holder under the OTS Regulations, including the right to require that such
holder's Dissenting Shares be purchased at their fair value, in the manner and
subject to the procedures and conditions therein provided, unless and until the
holder shall have failed to perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or
lost, such holder's right to receive such payment for such holder's shares of
Parkville Common Stock under the OTS Regulations, at which time such shares
shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration only, and no other consideration.
1.7 Stockholders' Meeting. Parkville shall, at the earliest practicable
----------------------
date, hold a meeting of its stockholders to submit for stockholder approval this
Agreement and the Plan of Merger. The affirmative vote of the holders of at
least two-thirds of the issued and outstanding shares of Parkville Common Stock
shall be required for such approval.
1.8 Deposit/Downpayment. Parkville acknowledges the receipt of the payment
-------------------
of $100,000.00 (the "Downpayment") from Patapsco that will apply toward the
payment of the Merger Consideration. If Parkville fails to satisfy any of the
conditions set forth in Section 6.2 or if this Agreement is terminated following
a Termination Event as set forth in Section 7.2(b) and (c), under this
Agreement, Parkville agrees to refund the Downpayment in
4
full to Patapsco within one business day following such events. If this
Agreement is terminated for any other reason, the Downpayment shall be forfeited
by Patapsco and retained by Parkville.

of the Parkville Subsidiaries have duly and properly filed all material federal,
state, local and other tax returns required to be filed by them and have made
timely payments of all taxes due and payable, whether disputed or not; the
current status of audits of such returns by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
and other applicable agencies is as set forth in Schedule I; and, except as set
forth in Schedule I, there is no agreement by Parkville or any Parkville
Subsidiary for the extension of time or for the assessment or payment of any
taxes payable. Except as set forth in Schedule I, neither the IRS nor any other
taxing authority is now asserting or, to the best knowledge of Parkville,
threatening to assert, any deficiency or claim for additional taxes (or interest
thereon or penalties in connection therewith), nor is Parkville aware of any
basis for any such assertion or claim.
(b) Adequate provision for any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes due
or to become due for Parkville or any of the Parkville Subsidiaries for all

---------------------
knowledge of Parkville, none of the assets of Parkville and the Parkville
Subsidiaries (defined for purposes of this subsection as the real property and
tangible personal property owned or leased by Parkville or any Parkville
Subsidiary as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date) contain
any hazardous materials (defined as any substance whose nature and/or quantity
or existence, use, manufacture or effect render it subject to federal, state or
local regulation as potentially injurious to public health or welfare,
including, without limitation, friable asbestos or PCBs ("Hazardous Materials")
other than in such quantities which are incidental and customary for the
maintenance and operation of such assets (e.g., cleaning fluids) or not
otherwise likely, in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, business or operations of Parkville and the Parkville
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole ("Incidental Quantities"). Except as set forth in
Schedule I, to Parkville's best knowledge without inquiry, no collateral
securing any loan made by Parkville or any Parkville Subsidiary contains any
Hazardous Materials, other than in Incidental Quantities. Neither of Parkville
nor any Parkville Subsidiary is aware of, nor has Parkville or any Parkville
Subsidiary received written notice from any governmental or regulatory body of
any past, present or future conditions, activities, practices or incidents which
may interfere with or prevent compliance or continued compliance with hazardous
substance laws or any regulation, order, decree, judgment or injunction, issued,
entered, promulgated or approved thereunder, or which may give rise to any
common law or legal liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim, action,
suit, proceeding, hearing or investigation, with respect of any of them, based
on or related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment,
storage, disposal, transport, or handling, or the emission, discharge, release
or threatened release into the environment, of any pollutant, contaminant or
chemical, or industrial, toxic or hazardous substance or waste. There is no
civil, criminal or administrative claim, action, suit, proceeding, hearing or
investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Parkville, threatened against
Parkville or any Parkville Subsidiary relating in any way to such hazardous
substance laws or any regulation, order, decree, judgment or injunction issued,
entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.
3.19 Governmental Approvals and Other Conditions. Parkville is not aware of
-------------------------------------------
any reason why (i) the regulatory approvals that are required to be obtained by
Patapsco in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Plan
of Merger should not be granted, (ii) such regulatory approvals should be
conditioned on any
9
requirement that would present a significant impediment to Patapsco's future
ability to carry on the current businesses of Parkville upon consummation of the
Merger, or (iii) any of the conditions precedent as specified in Article VI to
the obligation of either Patapsco and NewSub or Parkville to consummate the
transactions contemplated herein are unlikely to be fulfilled within the
applicable time period or periods required for satisfaction of such condition or
conditions.
3.20 Asset Classification. Schedule I sets forth a list, accurate and
---------------------
complete in all material respects, of each loan, extension of credit and other
asset of Parkville that has been and remained through September 30, 2003,
adversely designated or classified by the Bank or any regulatory authority,
separated by category of classification or criticism (the "Asset
Classification"); and no amounts of loans, extensions of credit or other assets
that have been adversely designated or classified through the date hereof by any
representative of any government entity as "Special Mention," "Substandard,"
"Doubtful," "Loss" or words of similar import are excluded from the amounts
disclosed in the Asset Classification, other than amounts of loans, extensions
of credit or other assets that were charged off by Parkville before the date
hereof.
3.21 Community Reinvestment Act. Parkville's rating pursuant to its most
---------------------------
recent examination by regulatory authorities pursuant to the provisions of the
Community Reinvestment Act was a "satisfactory" or better. Parkville has not
received any comment letters relating to its Community Reinvestment Act
Statement or is otherwise aware of any adverse reaction to such statement.
3.22 Loan Portfolio. The allowance for loan losses reflected and shown on
--------------
Parkville's June 30, 2003 Call Report is, and will be with respect to Call
Reports dated after the date hereof, in the opinion of management of Parkville,
adequate to provide for all known and reasonably anticipated possible losses,
net of recoveries relating to loans previously charged off, on loans and leases
outstanding and accrued interest receivable on non-performing loans as of the
date of such Call Report, in accordance with the requirements of regulatory
accounting principles. No regulatory authority has requested, in writing for
Parkville to increase the allowance for loan losses during fiscal years 2001,
2002 or 2003 that has not been responded to, to the best of Parkville's
knowledge, in a manner satisfactory to such regulatory authority.

order to induce Patapsco to enter into this Agreement and as a means of
compensating Patapsco for the substantial direct and indirect monetary and other
costs incurred and to be incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, Parkville agrees that if this Agreement is
terminated by Patapsco pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as a result of a
willful breach by Parkville of any of the representations, warranties,
agreements or covenants of Parkville set forth herein (and such breach would
otherwise have entitled Patapsco to terminate this Agreement as a result
thereof), and prior to such termination a Termination Event, as defined in

demand pay to Patapsco in immediately available funds $100,000. In addition, the
parties agree that Patapsco shall have the right to pursue any and all of its
rights and remedies in law or in equity resulting from a termination under this

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, a Termination Event shall mean either

Patapsco's prior written consent, shall have entered into an agreement to
engage in an Acquisition Transaction (as defined below) with any person
(the term "person" for purposes of this Agreement having the meaning
assigned thereto in Sections 3(a)((9) and 13(d)(3) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder)
other than Patapsco or any affiliate of Patapsco (the term "affiliate" for
purposes of this Agreement having the meaning assigned thereto in Rule 405
under the Securities Act of 1933) or the Board of Directors of Parkville
shall have recommended that the stockholders of Parkville approve or accept

(ii) After a bona fide proposal is made by any person other than
Patapsco or any affiliate of Patapsco to Parkville or its stockholders to
engage in an Acquisition Transaction, either (A) Parkville shall have
breached any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement and such
breach would entitle Patapsco to terminate this Agreement, (B) more than
sixty days have passed since the date hereof and the holders of Parkville
Common Stock shall not have approved this Agreement at the meeting of such
stockholders held for the purpose of voting on this Agreement or such
meeting shall have been cancelled within 60 days of the date hereof, or (C)
Parkville's Board of Directors shall have withdrawn or modified in a manner
adverse to Patapsco the recommendation of Parkville's Board of Directors

ARTICLE VIII
CERTAIN FURTHER AGREEMENTS
8.1 Employees and Benefits.
----------------------
(a) Prior to the Merger Effective Time, and only if requested in writing by
Patapsco, Parkville's Board of Directors shall adopt resolutions authorizing and
approving the termination of the Parkville's 401K Plan effective on a date prior
to the Closing Date, subject to the receipt of all applicable regulatory or
governmental approvals necessary or desirable in connection therewith.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Merger Effective Time subject to the
terms of the applicable plans, Parkville employees shall be entitled to
participate in all retirement and pension plans sponsored by Patapsco to the
extent that Patapsco's current employees are eligible to participate under such
plans with past service with Parkville being counted for Parkville employees who
become employees of Patapsco ("Transferred Employees") for purposes of
eligibility, waiting period and vesting.
(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 8.1,
Parkville employees will continue to be eligible to participate in the Parkville
health, life and disability plans on substantially the same basis as immediately
prior to the Merger Effective Time, until the Transferred Employees become
eligible to participate in plans provided by the Patapsco for similarly situated
employees. Patapsco will use its best efforts subject to the terms of the
applicable plans, to ensure that (i) health, life and disability insurance
coverage is maintained for the Transferred Employees during the transition to
the Patapsco employee benefit plans on substantially the same basis as
immediately prior to the Merger Effective time, and (ii) there are no
pre-existing condition limitations as to benefit payments or eligibility to
participate in a Patapsco group health plan.
(d) Patapsco currently intends to offer each of the Parkville employees,
other than ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, employment with Patapsco and Patapsco intends to
offer each such employee the same salary as they were paid by Parkville on the
Merger Effective Time. Except to the extent of commitments herein or other
contractual commitments, if any, specifically made or assumed by Patapsco
hereunder or by operation of law, Patapsco shall not have any obligation arising
from the Merger to continue any Parkville employees in its employ or in any
specific job or to provide to any employee any specified level of compensation
or any incentive payments, benefits or perquisites. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, Patapsco shall provide to any Parkville employee who is
employed by Parkville at the Merger Effective Time and is subsequently
terminated not for cause within one year of the Merger Effective Time, or is not
offered a position with Patapsco at a salary at least as high as his or her
salary at Parkville on the Merger Effective Time, a severance payment in an
amount equal to two weeks salary for every year of service with Parkville and
Patapsco with a minimum of ten weeks and a maximum of 26 weeks.
(e) On the Closing Date Patapsco agrees to pay ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ $271,800 in
exchange for ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ agreement to voluntarily terminate his employment
pursuant to Section 8(f) of the employment agreement between Parkville and ▇▇.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ as of the Closing Date. In no event shall Parkville or any Parkville
subsidiary take any action or make any payments that could result, in the
reasonable opinion of Patapsco or its professional advisors, either individually
or in the aggregate, in the payment of an "excess parachute payment" within the
meaning of Section 280G or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") or
that could result, in the reasonable opinion of Patapsco or its professional
advisors, either individually or in the aggregate, in payments that would be
nondeductible pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code.
(f) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.1, the employee benefit
plans of Parkville shall, in the sole discretion of Patapsco be frozen,
terminated or merged into comparable plans provided by Patapsco, effective as
Patapsco shall determine in its sole discretion but not before the Merger
Effective Time.
8.2 Indemnification and Insurance. Subject to availability and a cost not

force for a period of up to five (5) years following the Merger
19
Effective Date, directors' and officers liability insurance to provide coverage
for acts or omissions of the type and in the amount covered by Parkville's
existing directors' and officers' liability insurance for acts or omissions
occurring on or prior to the Merger Effective Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Patapsco further agrees to indemnify all current and former directors
and executive officers from any acts or omissions in such capacities prior to
the Effective Time, to the extent that such indemnification is provided pursuant
to the Charter or Bylaws of Parkville on the date hereof and is permitted under
OTS Regulations or by the FDIC.
