ARTICLE 2

CONVERSION OF CONSTITUENTS’ CAPITAL SHARES

Section 2.1    Manner of Conversion of UpState Common Stock. Subject to the provisions hereof, as of the Effective Time of the Merger and by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, UpState or the holder of any shares of any of them, the shares of the constituent corporations shall be converted as follows:

(a)    Each share of capital stock of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger shall, after the Effective Time of the Merger, remain outstanding and unchanged.

(b)    Each share of UpState Common Stock held by UpState (including treasury shares) or by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or any of their subsidiaries) other than such shares held in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, shall be canceled and retired and no consideration shall be paid or delivered in exchange therefor.

(c)    Except with regard to the shares of UpState Common Stock excluded under Section 2.1(b) above and Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.6) and subject to the limits in Section 2.2 hereof, each issued and outstanding share of UpState Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger (whether or not subject to restriction) shall be converted into and constitute, as provided in and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the right to receive at the election of the holder thereof as provided in, and as adjusted pursuant to, Section 2.1(d) and Section 2.7:

(1)    for each such share of UpState Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.2 (a “Cash Election”), cash in an amount equal to $33.33, without interest, (the “Cash Consideration”) (collectively, the “Cash Election Shares”);

(2)    for each such share of UpState Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.2 (a “Stock Election”), 0.9390 of a share of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) (collectively, the “Stock Election Shares”); or

(3)    for each such share of UpState Common Stock other than shares as to which a Cash Election, a Stock Election or a Mixed Election (as defined in Section 2.2) has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.2 (collectively, the “Non-Election Shares”), the Stock Consideration or Cash Consideration as is determined in accordance with Section 2.2.

A-4

(d)    UpState Adjusted Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity. As of the end of the month immediately prior to the Closing Date, if UpState’s actual equity, as adjusted as provided herein (“Actual Equity”), is greater than the target equity as set forth in Column A of Appendix I for the respective month end (“Target Equity”), then the per share offer price would be increased by an amount equal to (i) Actual Equity minus the Target Equity divided by (ii) 2,208,000 (the “Per Share Increase”). In no event will the Per Share Increase be greater than $0.67 in cash and in no case less than $0.00, resulting in the Cash Consideration as increased by the Per Share Increase having a maximum value of $34.00 per share for each USNY share. Recipients of the Stock Consideration will receive the Per Share Increase in cash. The Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration shall be increased, as applicable, to reflect such Per Share Increase in accordance with Appendix I, attached hereto and made a part of the Agreement. Actual Equity will exclude recognized gains and losses on the investment portfolio and changes in the valuation of the other accumulated comprehensive income account after September 30, 2019; Actual Equity also would be revised to add back any of the following that have been expensed in calculating net income, (i) reasonable expenses associated with the Agreement (including expenses of attorneys, accountants, consultants, financial advisors and other professional advisors and printing and other shareholder meeting expenses) (ii) any termination fee expenses under UpState’s or USNY’s vendor agreements, (iii) change in control payments under employment agreements and change in control agreements, (iv) the reduction in shareholders’ equity caused by any redemption of restricted stock awards after the date of the this Agreement, and (v) other expenses as reasonably and in good faith agreed to by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and UpState. Actual Equity will be appropriately adjusted to reflect aggregate net income for the appropriate periods, calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods, then revised in accordance with (i) through (v), above.

Section 2.2    Election Procedures.

(a)    Holders of shares of UpState Common Stock may elect to receive shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock or cash (in either case without interest) in exchange for their shares of UpState Common Stock in accordance with the procedures and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.2. Shares of UpState Common Stock as to which a Cash Election (including, pursuant to a Mixed Election) has been made are referred to herein as “Cash Election Shares.” Shares of UpState Common Stock as to which a Stock Election has been made (including, pursuant to a Mixed Election) are referred to as “Stock Election Shares.” Shares of UpState Common Stock as to which no election has been made (or as to which an Election Form is not returned properly completed) are referred to herein as “Non-Election Shares.”

(b)    An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent), in such form as UpState and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall mutually agree (“Election Form”), shall be mailed on the same date as the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined herein) is mailed to stockholders of UpState (the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of UpState Common Stock eligible to vote at the UpState Stockholders’ Meeting (the “Election Form Record Date”). Each Election Form shall permit such holder, subject to the allocation and election procedures set forth in this Section 2.2, (i) to elect to receive the Cash Consideration for all of the shares of UpState Common Stock held by such holder, in accordance with Section 2.1(c)(1), (ii) to elect to receive the Stock Consideration for all of such shares, in accordance with Section 2.1(c)(2),

A-5

(iii) to elect to receive the Stock Consideration for a certain whole number of such holder’s shares and the Cash Consideration for all other shares of such holder’s shares (a “Mixed Election”) (all such shares together, the “Mixed Election Shares”), or (iv) to indicate that such record holder has no preference as to the receipt of cash or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock for such shares. A holder of record of shares of UpState Common Stock who holds such shares as nominee, trustee or in another representative capacity (a “Stockholder Representative”) may submit multiple Election Forms, provided that each such Election Form covers all the shares of UpState Common Stock held by such Stockholder Representative for a particular beneficial owner. Any shares of UpState Common Stock with respect to which the holder thereof shall not, as of the Election Deadline, have made an election by submission to the Exchange Agent of an effective, properly completed Election Form shall be deemed Non-Election Shares. All Dissenting Shares shall be deemed shares subject to a Cash Election, and with respect to such shares the holders thereof shall in no event receive consideration comprised of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock; provided, however, that for purposes of making the proration calculations provided for in this Section 2.2, only Dissenting Shares as existing at the Effective Time shall be deemed Cash Election Shares.

(c)    To be effective, a properly completed Election Form shall be submitted to the Exchange Agent on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of the UpState Shareholders’ Meeting (or such other time and date as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and UpState may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”); provided, however, that the Election Deadline may not occur on or after the Closing Date. UpState shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available up to two separate Election Forms, or such additional Election Forms as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may permit, to all persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of UpState Common Stock between the Election Form Record Date and the close of business on the business day prior to the Election Deadline. UpState shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein. An election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such Certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such Certificates) representing all shares of UpState Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included with the Election Form. If an UpState stockholder either (i) does not submit a properly completed Election Form in a timely fashion or (ii) revokes its Election Form prior to the Election Deadline (without later submitting a properly completed Election Form prior to the Election Deadline), the shares of UpState Common Stock held by such stockholder shall be designated as Non-Election Shares. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting such Election Form to the Exchange Agent by written notice to the Exchange Agent only if such notice of revocation or change is actually received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall cause the Certificate or Certificates relating to any revoked Election Form to be promptly returned without charge to the person submitting the Election Form to the Exchange Agent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have discretion to determine when any election, modification or revocation is received and whether any such election, modification or revocation has been properly made. All Elections (whether Cash, Stock or Mixed) shall be revoked automatically if the Exchange Agent is notified in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or UpState, upon exercise by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or UpState of its respective or their mutual rights to terminate this Agreement to the extent provided under Article 10, that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article 10.

A-6

(d)    The number of shares of UpState Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration shall be equal to 10% of the number of shares of UpState Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Aggregate Cash Limit”) and the number of shares of UpState Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration shall be equal to 90% of the number of shares of UpState Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Aggregate Stock Limit”).

(e)    If the number of Cash Election Shares is less than the Aggregate Cash Limit, then:

(1)    all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration,

(2)    Non-Election Shares shall then be deemed to be Cash Election Shares to the extent necessary to have the total number of Cash Election Shares equal the Aggregate Cash Limit. If less than all of the Non-Election Shares need to be treated as Cash Election Shares, then a sufficient number of Non-Election Shares shall be deemed Cash Election Shares (“Deemed Cash Election Shares”) and Share Election Shares (“Deemed Share Election Shares”) on a pro rata basis as described below such that the sum of the number of Cash Election Shares plus the number of Deemed Cash Election Shares equals the Aggregate Cash Limit and all Deemed Share Election Shares shall be treated as Stock Election Shares,

(3)    if all of the Non-Election Shares are treated as Cash Election Shares under the preceding subsection and the total number of Cash Election Shares is less than the Aggregate Cash Limit, then the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis as described below a sufficient number of Stock Election Shares into Cash Election Shares (“Reallocated Cash Shares”) such that the sum of the number of Cash Election Shares plus the number of Reallocated Cash Shares equals the Aggregate Cash Limit, and all Reallocated Cash Shares will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and

(4)    the Stock Election Shares which are not Reallocated Cash Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.

(f)    If the number of Cash Election Shares is greater than the Aggregate Cash Limit, then:

(1)    all Stock Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration,

(2)    the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis as described below a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares (“Reallocated Stock Shares”) such that the number of remaining Cash Election Shares equals the Aggregate Cash Limit, and all Reallocated Stock Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and

A-7

(3)    the Cash Election Shares which are not Reallocated Stock Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration.

(g)    If the number of Cash Election Shares is equal to the Aggregate Cash Limit, then subparagraphs (d)(i) and (ii) above shall not apply and all Non-Election Shares and all Stock Election Shares will be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.

(h)    In the event that the Exchange Agent is required to convert some Stock Election Shares into Reallocated Cash Shares, each holder of Stock Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Cash Shares. In the event the Exchange Agent is required to convert some Cash Election Shares into Reallocated Stock Shares, each holder of Cash Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Stock Shares.

(i)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger. Instead, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will pay to each holder of UpState Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock (after taking into account all certificates formerly representing shares of UpState Common Stock delivered by such holder) an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fraction of a share of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock by the average of the closing sale prices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock, as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market for the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock does not trade on one or more of the trading days in such period, any such date shall be disregarded in computing the average closing sales price and the average shall be based upon the closing sales prices and number of days on which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock actually traded during such period.

(j)    Within seven business days after the Effective Time of the Merger, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation of the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration among holders of UpState Common Stock and to distribute the Merger Consideration as set forth herein.

Section 2.3    Effectuating Conversion.

(a)    On the business day immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will deliver or cause to be delivered to Computershare or another third-party agent to be appointed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and reasonably acceptable to UpState (the “Exchange Agent”) an amount of cash equal to the aggregate Cash Consideration to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof (the “Exchange Fund”). As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time of the Merger, but not later than ten (10) days after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall send or cause to be sent to each former holder of record of shares of UpState Common Stock who did not previously submit an Election Form transmittal materials (the “Letter of Transmittal”) for use in exchanging their certificates formerly representing shares of UpState Common Stock for the Merger Consideration provided for in this Agreement. The Letter of

A-8

Transmittal will contain instructions with respect to the surrender of certificates representing shares of UpState Common Stock and the receipt of the Merger Consideration contemplated by this Agreement and will require each holder of shares of UpState Common Stock to transfer good and marketable title to such shares of UpState Common Stock to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances.

(b)    At the Effective Time of the Merger, the stock transfer books of UpState shall be closed as to holders of shares of UpState Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, no transfer of shares of UpState Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized and each outstanding certificate formerly representing shares of UpState Common Stock shall, without any action on the part of any holder thereof, no longer represent shares of UpState Common Stock. If, after the Effective Time of the Merger, certificates are properly presented to the Exchange Agent, such certificates shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration other than Dissenting Shares.

(c)    In the event that any holder of record as of the Effective Time of the Merger of shares of UpState Common Stock is unable to deliver the certificate which represents such holder’s shares of UpState Common Stock, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, in the absence of actual notice that any shares of UpState Common Stock theretofore represented by any such certificate have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall deliver to such holder the Merger Consideration contemplated by this Agreement to which such holder is entitled in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement upon the presentation of all of the following:

(i)    an affidavit or other evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that any such certificate has been lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed;

(ii)    such security or indemnity as may be reasonably requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to indemnify and hold ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ harmless in respect of such stock certificate(s); and

(iii)    evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that such holder is the owner of shares of UpState Common Stock theretofore represented by each certificate claimed by such holder to be lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed and that such holder is the person who would be entitled to present each such certificate for exchange pursuant to this Agreement.

(d)    If the delivery of the Merger Consideration contemplated by this Agreement is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name any certificate representing shares of UpState Common Stock surrendered is registered, such certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer), with the signature(s) appropriately guaranteed, and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the person requesting such delivery shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the delivery to a person other than the registered holder of such certificate surrendered or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(e)    No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate or certificates representing shares of UpState Common Stock entitled to be converted into ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common

A-9

Stock until the holder thereof shall surrender such certificate or certificates in accordance with this Section 2.3. Following the surrender of such certificate or certificates in accordance with this Section 2.3, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the whole shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock which the shares of UpState Common Stock represented by such certificate or certificates have been converted into the right to receive.

(f)    Except as provided herein, the consideration contemplated by this Agreement shall not be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate or certificates representing shares of UpState Common Stock, and neither the Exchange Agent nor ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be obligated to deliver any of the Merger Consideration contemplated by this Agreement until such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing shares of UpState Common Stock as provided for by this Agreement. Subject to applicable laws, following surrender of any such certificate or certificates, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate or certificates formerly representing shares of UpState Common Stock, without interest at the time of such surrender, the Merger Consideration.

(g)    At any time following six months after the Effective Time, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Exchange Fund which has not yet been disbursed to former holders of shares of UpState Common Stock, and thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (subject to abandoned property and escheat laws) with respect to any amounts due upon surrender of their certificates formerly representing shares of UpState Common Stock.

(h)    ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of shares of UpState Common Stock, such amounts as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or any Affiliate thereof) or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of UpState Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Exchange Agent.

Section 2.4    Determination of Alternative Structures. UpState hereby agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may at any time change the method of effecting the Merger; provided, however, that no such changes shall (a) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration to be paid to holders of the shares of UpState Common Stock, (b) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (c) adversely affect the tax treatment of UpState’s stockholders as a result of receiving the Merger Consideration or the tax treatment of any Party pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.5    Laws of Escheat. If any of the consideration due or other payments to be paid or delivered to the holders of shares of UpState Common Stock is not paid or delivered within the time period specified by any applicable laws concerning abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, and if such failure to pay or deliver such consideration occurs or arises out of the fact that such property is not claimed by the proper owner thereof, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the Exchange

A-10

Agent shall be entitled to dispose of any such consideration or other payments in accordance with applicable laws concerning abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, none of UpState, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Exchange Agent, nor any other Person acting on behalf of any of them shall be liable to a holder of shares of UpState Common Stock for any amount paid or property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

Section 2.6    Appraisal Rights. Each issued and outstanding share of UpState Common Stock the holder of which has perfected his right to dissent under the NYBCL and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the per share Merger Consideration hereunder, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the NYBCL. UpState shall give ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ prompt notice upon receipt by UpState of any such demands for payment of the fair value of such shares of UpState Common Stock, any withdrawals of such notice and any other instruments provided pursuant to applicable law (any stockholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Stockholder”), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. UpState shall not, except with the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or the taking of any other action by such Dissenting Stockholder as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under the NYBCL. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Surviving Entity. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his right to such payment at or prior to the Effective Time, such holder’s shares of UpState Common Stock shall be converted into a right to receive cash or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If such holder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his right to such payment after the Effective Time (or the Election Deadline), each share of UpState Common Stock of such holder shall be treated as a Non-Election Share.

Section 2.7    Anti-Dilution. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ changes the number or kind of shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock outstanding by way of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or similar transaction, then the Stock Consideration will be adjusted proportionately to account for such change and all references herein to the term Stock Consideration will be deemed to mean the Stock Consideration as adjusted.

Each UpState Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan has been administered and documented in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, except where any non-compliance has not and cannot reasonably be expected to result in any tax liabilities or penalties to the UpState or any of its Subsidiaries or any employee of UpState or any of its Subsidiaries for non-compliance.

(c)    All UpState Benefit Plans are in material compliance with their respective terms (and have been established, operated and administered in all material respects in accordance with) the applicable terms of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable laws.

UpState shall prepare and furnish to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ such information relating to it and its directors, officers and shareholders as may be reasonably required in connection with the above referenced documents based on its Knowledge of and access to the information required for said documents and as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may request, and UpState, and its legal, financial and accounting advisors, shall have the right to review in advance such Form S-4 prior to its filing. UpState agrees to cooperate with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Norwood’s counsel and accountants in requesting and obtaining appropriate opinions, consents and letters from its financial advisor and independent auditor in connection with the Form S-4 and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Each of UpState and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Form S-4 to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ also agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions this Agreement contemplates. After the SEC has declared the Form S-4 effective under the Securities Act, UpState shall promptly mail at its expense the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to its shareholders.

(c)    Each of UpState and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree that none of the respective information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Form S-4 shall, at the time the Form S-4 and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Each of UpState and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agree that none of the respective information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make therein not misleading. Each of UpState and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ further agree that if such party shall become aware prior to the Effective Time of the Merger of any information furnished by such party that would cause any of the statements in the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other parties thereof and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed promptly with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated to the shareholders of UpState and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

(d)    ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to advise UpState, promptly after ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives notice thereof, of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the

A-50

qualification of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or, to the extent ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is aware thereof, threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Form S-4 or for additional information.

(e)    UpState will take all steps necessary under applicable laws to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders at such time as may be mutually agreed to by the Parties for the purpose of approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and for such other purposes consistent with the complete performance of this Agreement as may be necessary or desirable (the “UpState Shareholders’ Meeting”), at such time as may be mutually agreed to by the parties (but in no event later than 50 days after the Form S-4 has been declared effective). UpState may engage a proxy solicitor in connection with the UpState Shareholders’ Meeting on terms and conditions acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. The Board of Directors of UpState will recommend to its shareholders the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and UpState will use its best efforts to obtain the necessary approvals by its shareholders of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (x) UpState has complied in all material respects with its obligations under Section 5.6, (y) UpState (1) has received a bona fide written proposal for an Acquisition Transaction not solicited in violation of Section 5.6 hereof from a third party that UpState’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith after consultation with and considering the written advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisor constitutes a Superior Proposal after giving effect to all of the adjustments that may be offered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to clause (3) below (it being understood that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has no obligation to make any adjustments), (2) has notified ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, at least five business days in advance, of its intention to withdraw, amend or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw, amend or modify, the recommendation of UpState’s Board of Directors that UpState’s stockholders vote in favor of approval of this Agreement or make any statement in connection with the UpState Shareholders’ Meeting inconsistent with such recommendation (collectively, a “Change in Recommendation”), specifying the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal and furnishing to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ a copy of the relevant proposed transaction documents, if such exist, with the person making such Superior Proposal and (3) during the period of not less than five business days following UpState’s delivery of the notice referred to in clause (2) above and prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation, has negotiated, and has used commercially reasonable efforts to cause its financial and legal advisors to negotiate, with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in good faith (to the extent that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such proposal for an Acquisition Transaction ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal and (z) UpState’s Board of Directors, after consultation with and based on the advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, determines in good faith that it would result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to recommend this Agreement, then in submitting this Agreement to stockholders at the UpState Shareholders’ Meeting it may submit this Agreement without recommendation, or following submission of this Agreement to stockholders it may withdraw, amend or modify its recommendation, in which case the Board of Directors may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation, or the withdrawal, amendment or modification of its recommendation, to the stockholders in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall limit ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ ability to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(g) hereto or eliminate the right to the payment specified in Section 10.2(b) hereto.

A-51

(f)    UpState shall adjourn or postpone the UpState Shareholders’ Meeting, for a reasonable period of time as deemed necessary to conduct the business of the Meeting or to approve the Agreement, if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of UpState Common Stock represented, either in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum to conduct the business of such meeting or if UpState has not received sufficient votes to approve this Agreement; provided that UpState shall not be required pursuant to this Section 5.5(f) to adjourn or postpone the UpState Shareholders’ Meeting more than two (2) times.

Section 5.6    No Other Bids. Except with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, UpState shall not, and shall not permit or authorize any UpState Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof, nor any investment banker, attorney, accountant or other representative (collectively, “representative”) retained by UpState to directly or indirectly (i) initiate, solicit, encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any “Acquisition Transaction” (as defined below) by any other party, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding or furnish any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any Acquisition Transaction, or (iii) furnish any non-public information that it is not legally obligated to furnish or negotiate or enter into any agreement or contract with respect to any Acquisition Transaction, and shall direct and use its reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates or representatives not to engage in any of the foregoing. UpState shall promptly notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ orally and in writing in the event that it receives any inquiry or proposal relating to any such Acquisition Transaction. UpState shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated as of the date of this Agreement any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any other parties conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.6, in the event that, prior to obtaining shareholder approval of the Merger, UpState receives an unsolicited bona fide written proposal for an Acquisition Transaction not solicited in violation of this Agreement, and the UpState Board concludes in good faith (after consultation with and considering the written advice of its outside counsel and financial advisor) (i) it is legally necessary for the proper discharge of its fiduciary duties to respond to such Acquisition Transaction and (ii) such Acquisition Transaction constitutes a “Superior Proposal” (as defined below), UpState may furnish or cause to be furnished confidential information or data to the third party making such proposal and participate in negotiations or discussions, provided that prior to providing (or causing to be provided) any confidential information or data permitted to be provided pursuant to this sentence, UpState shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less restrictive to UpState than the confidentiality agreement with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in effect as of the date hereof, and provided further that UpState also shall provide to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ a copy of any such confidential information or data that it is providing to any third party pursuant to this Section 5.6 to the extent not previously provided or made available to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. UpState shall promptly advise ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ orally and in writing of any Acquisition Transaction, the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Transaction (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person making any such Acquisition Transaction. UpState shall (i) keep ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fully informed in all material respects of the status and details (including any change to the terms thereof) of any Acquisition Transaction, (ii) provide to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to UpState or any UpState Subsidiary from any person that describes any of the terms or conditions of any Acquisition Transaction (including any draft acquisition agreement) and (iii) keep ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fully informed in all material respects of the status and details of any determination by UpState’s Board of Directors with respect to any such Acquisition Transaction.

A-52

The term “Acquisition Transaction” shall, with respect to UpState, mean any proposal for any of the following: (a) a merger or consolidation, or any similar transaction (other than the Merger) of any company with UpState or any UpState Subsidiary, (b) a purchase, lease or other acquisition of all or substantially all the assets of UpState or any UpState Subsidiary, (c) a purchase or other acquisition of “beneficial ownership” by any “person” or “group” (as such terms are defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange, or otherwise) which would cause such person or group to become the beneficial owner of securities representing 25% or more of the voting power of UpState, or (d) a tender or exchange offer to acquire securities representing 25% or more of the voting power of UpState. “Superior Proposal” means an Acquisition Transaction which the Board of Directors of UpState reasonably determines (after consultation with its financial advisor or another financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) and legal counsel to be (i) more favorable to the shareholders of UpState from a financial point of view than the Merger (taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement (including any changes to the financial terms of this Agreement proposed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in response to such offer or otherwise)) and (ii) reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal.

If any Phase II environmental site assessments or other environmental investigation or testing are determined to be necessary or required by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ due to the presence of any Hazardous Materials identified in the Phase I environmental assessment, UpState will, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ expense, with respect to each such parcel of real property that UpState or any UpState Subsidiary owns, procure and furnish to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, a Phase II environmental assessment, which assessments, in each case, shall be conducted by the Designated Environmental Consultant. In the event that the Merger is not consummated and the Agreement is terminated, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall return to UpState all materials produced by the Designated Environmental Consultant, by UpState or by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with this Section 5.8 or such materials shall be destroyed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be restricted from making any disclosure of such information or materials to any party whatsoever in accordance with the confidentiality agreement between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and UpState as in effect of the date hereof for all time thereafter without regard to the termination of the Agreement or such confidentiality agreement, except as required by law, regulation or a court of competent jurisdiction.

A-56

(b)    (i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will honor the employment agreements, severance agreements and other contracts entered into between UpState and the UpState Subsidiaries and its officers, employees and directors as set forth at Schedule 6.3(b)(i). Such Schedule 6.3(b) includes a calculation of the severance payment amount and supporting data as detailed in such Schedule calculated as of the date of this Agreement and to be updated in advance of the Effective Time of the Merger.

(d)    After the Merger, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall continue, except to the extent not consistent with law, UpState’s health and welfare benefit plans, programs, insurance and other policies until such time as ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ elects to take alternative action. UpState will assist ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ before the Effective Time in reviewing such benefit plans and programs and will take such actions that may be requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ within thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time with respect to such plans to take effect not sooner than the Effective Time, unless otherwise consented to by UpState. In the event ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ elects to terminate any of UpState’s health and welfare benefit plans, programs, insurance and other policies, UpState and USNY Bank employees that continue as employees of UpState, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) will become eligible to participate in the medical, dental, health and disability plans maintained by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇, as applicable, shall cause each such plan that shall be implemented as a replacement plan to such UpState plan that is terminating to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions for such participant are covered under the applicable UpState medical, health, dental or disability plans and such coverage for such condition or event is also available under the applicable

A-57

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ plan, (ii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement which would otherwise be applicable to such employee on or after the plan enrollment date, unless such employee had not yet satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under the analogous UpState Employee Benefit Plan prior to the enrollment date, and (iii) credit any deductibles, co-payments or other out-of-pocket expenses paid by a Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents under any UpState health and welfare benefit plan with respect to the calendar year through the date of participation in the applicable ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ health and welfare benefit plan towards the satisfaction of any like deductibles, co-payments or other out-of-pocket expenses under such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ plans.

(e)    Until the Effective Time, UpState shall be responsible for providing continued health coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601 through 609 of ERISA (“COBRA”) with respect to each UpState or USNY Bank qualifying beneficiary (as defined in COBRA) who incurs a qualifying event (as defined in COBRA) before the Effective Time with the monthly expense for such continuation of benefits being paid by such qualifying beneficiary. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for (i) providing for continued health coverage under COBRA with respect to each UpState or USNY Bank qualified beneficiary (as defined in COBRA) who incurs a qualifying event (as defined in COBRA) from and after the Effective Time, and (ii) providing continued health coverage under COBRA from and after the Effective Time for each UpState or USNY Bank qualified beneficiary who incurs a qualifying event before the Effective Time; provided, in each case, that the monthly expenses for such benefits continuation shall be paid by the qualifying beneficiary.

(f)    Employees of UpState and of USNY Bank (other than those who are parties to an employment agreement, change of control or other type of agreement with UpState or USNY Bank which provides for any form of severance or termination pay) as of the date of this Agreement who remain employed by UpState or USNY Bank as of the Effective Time and whose employment is terminated by UpState, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ (absent termination for cause as determined by the employer) within one year after the Effective Time shall receive severance pay equal to two weeks of such employee’s base weekly pay for each completed year of employment service commencing with any such employee’s most recent hire date with UpState or any of the UpState Subsidiaries and ending with such employee’s termination date with UpState, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇, with a minimum severance payment to an individual equal to four weeks of base pay and a maximum payment equal to 26 weeks of base pay, and, provided further, that such terminated employees shall enter into a release of claims against UpState, USNY Bank, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ acceptable in form and substance to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇. Such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ pay will be made at regular payroll intervals. Such severance payments will be in lieu of any severance pay plans that may be in effect at UpState or USNY Bank prior to the Effective Time, which plans shall be terminated by UpState and USNY Bank not later than the business day immediately prior to the Effective Time. If termination of any such employee’s employment occurs after the first anniversary of the Effective Time, then such employee shall be entitled to receive the severance pay under any severance pay plans, if any, that may be in effect at such time at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇, provided, that any such employee shall receive credit under any such plan for such employee’s service prior to the Effective Time to UpState or any of the UpState Subsidiaries.

A-58

(g) Prior to the Effective Time, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall take all reasonable action so that employees of USNY Bank who become employees of ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Continuing Employees”) shall be eligible to participate, effective as soon as each ▇▇▇▇▇ employee benefit plan permits (but not sooner than is administratively practicable following the Effective Time), in each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or Wayne’s employee benefit plans in which similarly situated employees of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ participate; provided, however, that, in the case of all benefits to be provided to the Continuing Employees, until the first anniversary of the Effective Time, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ may instead provide such employees with participation in the employee benefit plans of USNY Bank which they participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, (it being understood that inclusion of Continuing Employees in Wayne’s employee benefit plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans.

(h) With respect to each ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ employee benefit plan for which length of service is taken into account for any purpose, service with UpState or USNY Bank (or predecessor employers to the extent UpState or USNY Bank previously has provided past service credit) shall be treated as service with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subsidiaries for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting, and entitlement to benefits, including for severance benefits and vacation entitlement (but not for accrual of defined benefit pension benefits); provided, however, that such prior service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits.

(b)    After the Effective Time of the Merger, directors, officers and employees of UpState, except for the indemnification rights provided for in this Section 6.4 above, shall have indemnification rights having prospective application only.

(c)    ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall use its best efforts (and UpState shall cooperate prior to the Effective Time of the Merger) to maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time of the Merger UpState’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (provided that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may substitute therefor (i) policies with comparable coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are substantially no less advantageous or (ii) with the consent of UpState (given prior to the Effective Time of the Merger) any other policy with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred prior to the Effective Time of the Merger and covering persons who are currently covered by such insurance; provided, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be obligated to make an aggregate premium payment for such six (6) year period in respect of such policy (or coverage replacing such policy) which exceeds 250% of the annual premiums currently paid by UpState for such insurance.

(d)    The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.

FORM OF ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ VOTING AGREEMENT

TO BE COMPLETED BY UPSTATE NEW YORK BANCORP DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

January 8, 2020

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Financial Corp.

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Gentlemen:

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Financial Corp. (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank (“▇▇▇▇▇”), and UpState New York Bancorp, Inc. (“UpState”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, USNY Bank (“USNY”), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December     , 2019 (the “Agreement”) whereby UpState will merge with and into ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Merger”) and the shareholders of UpState will receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in the Agreement. All defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.

In order to induce ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to enter into the Agreement and, intending to be legally bound hereby, I irrevocably agree and represent as follows:

(a)    I agree to vote, or cause to be voted, for approval and adoption of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby all shares of UpState Common Stock over which I have sole voting power whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and I agree that I shall vote such shares, or cause such shares to be voted against approval or adoption of any other merger, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation or other similar transaction involving UpState to which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is not a party thereto and is presented for approval or adoption by the shareholders of UpState. I also agree to use my best efforts to cause all shares of UpState Common Stock over which I have shared voting power to be voted in accordance with the foregoing sentence. Beneficial ownership shall have the meaning assigned to it pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. (b) Through the earliest to occur of (i) approval and adoption by the shareholders of UpState of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the completion of the Merger or (iii) termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms, I agree (i) not to offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of UpState Common Stock over which I have sole dispositive power, except to the extent permitted by paragraph (f) hereof. I also agree to use my best efforts to cause all shares of UpState Common Stock over which I have shared dispositive power to comply with the restrictions set forth the in the foregoing sentence.

A-1

(c)    I have beneficial ownership over the number of shares of UpState Common Stock set forth in Appendix A hereto. I do not hold any options or other rights to acquire UpState Common Stock.

(d)    I agree that UpState shall not be bound by any attempted sale of any shares of UpState Common Stock over which I have sole voting and dispositive power, and UpState’s transfer agent shall be given appropriate stop transfer orders and shall not be required to register any such attempted sale, unless the sale has been effected in compliance with the terms of this Voting Agreement.

(e)    I represent that I have the capacity to enter into this Voting Agreement and that it is a valid and binding obligation enforceable against me in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights and general equitable principles.

(f)    I may transfer any or all of the shares of UpState Common Stock over which I have beneficial ownership to my spouse, ancestors or descendants; provided, however, that in any such case, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such transfer, each person to which any of such shares or any interest in any of such shares is or may be transferred shall have executed and delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ an agreement to be bound by the terms of this Voting Agreement. In addition, I may sell, transfer or assign shares of UpState Common Stock to the extent and on behalf of trusts or estates of which neither I nor my family members are beneficiaries in order to comply with fiduciary obligations or legal requirements.

(g)    I agree that I will not make any public statements with respect to the Merger or the Agreement contrary to or inconsistent with the statements made by UpState in support of the Merger or of the UpState Board of Directors’ recommendation to shareholders to vote in favor of the Agreement and the Merger. In no event will I recommend or advise any shareholder of UpState not to vote in favor of the Agreement or the Merger or not to vote their shares at the shareholders’ meeting at which the Agreement will be considered, nor will I recommend or advise any UpState shareholder to sell their UpState Common Stock prior to the Effective Time of the Merger. Further, subject to paragraph (i) hereof, I agree that I will not recommend or advise any party to vote shares of UpState Common Stock at any meeting of shareholders of UpState for a transaction involving UpState to which ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is not a party.

(h)    The restrictions set forth in this agreement shall not apply to any securities beneficially owned by me as a trustee or fiduciary, except for shares for which my spouse, ancestors or descendants shall have a pecuniary interest in such shares or the related trust or holdings.

(i)    [For those eligible to be Advisory Directors] I irrevocably agree not to engage in any Competition (as defined below) with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇, UpState or USNY or any affiliate or subsidiary of any of the foregoing (the “Companies”) for a period of twelve months after the Closing of the Merger or six months following cessation of my service as a member of a regional advisory board established by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇, if later. For purposes of this Voting Agreement, “Competition” means becoming an

A-2

employee, an officer, a director, a consultant, an agent, partner, an advisory director, a founder or a shareholder or other equity holder (other than acquisitions of not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding capital stock of, or a similar equity interest in, a corporation or other entity) or in any other capacity with any business organization that is doing business or intends to do business in the State of New York in the counties of Otsego, Ontario, Seneca, ▇▇▇▇▇, Delaware and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the Counties of Wayne, Pike, Monroe and Lackawanna, and that is engaged or intends to engage in the provision of financial services to the public, including, but not limited to, accepting retail or commercial deposit accounts, making loans or offering trust services, commercial banking, mortgage banking, lease financing, including but not necessarily limited to commercial banks, savings associations, trust companies, credit unions and parent companies and subsidiary companies of such business entities (collectively, “Financial Services Companies”). Competition shall also mean engaging in efforts to recruit any employee of the Companies or solicit or induce, attempt to solicit or induce, or assist in the solicitation or inducement of any employee of the Companies to terminate his or her employment with the Companies, or otherwise cease his or her relationship with the Companies, or solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to solicit, divert or take away, the business or patronage of any of the clients, customers or accounts of the Companies that were served by the Companies before or after the Closing of the Merger.

Such restriction on Competition shall not (i) be applicable to officers of UpState and USNY not serving on the regional advisory board described in the next sentence, (ii) limit my ability to continue to provide legal services or other services to such Financial Services Companies, (iii) limit my ability to lease or sell real property to such entities or (iv) limit my ability to use the banking services of such Financial Services Companies. In exchange for my agreement not to engage in any Competition, as detailed above, and for my service on the regional advisory board during the twenty-four-month period immediately following the Closing Date of the Merger, I understand and irrevocably accept that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will pay me the sum of $1,000 per quarter for a period of 24 months following the completion of the Merger.

(j)    I am signing this Voting Agreement solely in my capacity as a shareholder of UpState, and not in any other capacity, such as a director or officer of UpState or as a fiduciary of any trusts in which neither I nor my immediate family members are a beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) I make no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in my capacity as a beneficial owner of UpState Common Stock and (b) nothing herein shall be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by me or any of my representatives, as applicable, serving on UpState’s Board of Directors or as an officer of UpState, acting in my capacity as a director, officer or fiduciary of UpState or as fiduciary of any trust of which neither I nor my family members are beneficiaries.

(k)    I further agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if it is determined that any compensation or payments that I may be eligible to receive as a director or officer of UpState or USNY either singularly or together with any other payments which I may have the right to receive from UpState, USNY, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇, or any corporation which is a member of an “affiliated group” (as defined in

A-3

Section 1504(a) of the IRC, without regard to Section 1504(b) of the IRC) of which UpState, USNY, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ is a member, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the IRC), such payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary to ensure that no portion of such payments will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the IRC.

This Voting Agreement shall be effective upon acceptance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. This Voting Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect concurrently with, and automatically upon, the earlier to occur of (a) the consummation of the Merger (except that the provisions of Paragraph (h) shall survive the consummation of the Merger in accordance with their terms) and (b) any termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms, except that any such termination shall be without prejudice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ rights arising out of my willful breach of any covenant or representation contained herein.

All notices and other communications in connection with this Voting Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, sent via facsimile, with confirmation, mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or delivered by an express courier, with confirmation, to the parties at their addresses set forth on the signature page hereto.

This Voting Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties. This Voting Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Voting Agreement.

This Voting Agreement and all claims arising hereunder or relating hereto, shall be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
