The Purchaser Articles, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and the Purchaser Bylaws, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. Purchaser may at any time prior to the Effective Time change the method of effecting the Merger (including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article II) if and to the extent it deems such change to be necessary, appropriate or desirable; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of consideration to be issued to holders of Seller Stock as provided for in Article III of this Agreement (subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 3.05), (ii) adversely affect the tax treatment of the Parent Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, or (iii) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     Section 2.02 The Subsidiary Merger. As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser Bank and the Bank shall enter into an agreement (the “Agreement to Merge”), pursuant to which the Bank will merge with and into Purchaser Bank (the “Subsidiary Merger”). Upon consummation of the Subsidiary Merger, the separate

corporate existence of the Bank shall cease and Purchaser Bank shall survive and continue to exist as a Pennsylvania state banking corporation. (The Parent Merger and the Subsidiary Merger shall sometimes collectively be referred to herein as the “Merger.”)

     Section 2.03 Effectiveness of the Parent Merger. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, the Parent Merger shall become effective upon the occurrence of the filing of articles of merger with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in accordance with Section 1927 of the PBCL, or such later date and time as may be set forth in such filings (the time the Merger becomes effective on the Effective Date being referred to as the “Effective Time”).

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

     Section 3.01 Merger Consideration. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Parent Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each share of Seller Common Stock (excluding Company-Owned Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted at the election of the holder thereof (in accordance with the election and allocation procedures set forth in Section 3.01(b), (e), (h), (i) and (j)) into either (i) the right to receive $31.00 in cash without interest (the “Cash Consideration”) or (ii) an amount of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the quotient, carried to four decimal places (the “Stock Exchange Ratio”) of (A) $31.00 divided by (B) the Purchaser Share Price (as defined below) of a share of Purchaser Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”); provided, however, that in no event may the Stock Exchange Ratio be less than 0.93 or greater than 0.97. If the Stock Exchange Ratio otherwise would be less than 0.93 or greater than 0.97, then 0.93 or 0.97, respectively, shall be used. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Purchaser Share Price” of the Purchaser Common Stock shall be the average of the high and low sale prices of Purchaser Common Stock (as reported on Nasdaq or, if not reported thereon, in another authoritative source) for each of the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of the Seller Meeting (as defined in Section 6.02). The Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Merger Consideration.”

     (b) Election as to Outstanding Seller Common Stock. The Seller shareholders (excluding Seller and Purchaser) will have the following options in connection with the exchange of their Seller Common Stock in connection with the Merger:

          (i) AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER, all of such holder’s Seller Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be converted into and become the Stock Consideration (such election, the “All Stock Election”), provided that fractional shares will not be issued and cash (payable by check) will be paid in lieu thereof as provided in Section 3.03; or

          (ii) AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER, all of such holder’s Seller Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be converted into and become the Cash Consideration (such election, the “All Cash Election”): or

          (iii) AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER, such holder’s aggregate number of shares of Seller Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be converted into and become any combination of the Stock Consideration and the Cash Consideration (such election, the “Mixed Election”); or

          (iv) IF NO ELECTION (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3.01(d)) IS MADE BY THE HOLDER BY THE ELECTION DEADLINE (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3.01(e)), all of such holder’s shares of Seller Common Stock shall be deemed to be “Non-Election Shares” and shall be convertible at the discretion of Purchaser into either the Stock Consideration or the Cash Consideration, or a combination thereof, subject to the allocation and proration provisions in Section 3.01(g)(h) and (i).

     (c) Company-Owned Stock. Each share of Seller Common Stock held as Company-Owned Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired at the Effective Time and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor.

     (d) Outstanding Purchaser Common Stock. Each share of Purchaser Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and unaffected by the Merger.

     (e) Procedures for Election. An election form and other appropriate transmittal materials in such form as Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree (the “Election Form”) shall be mailed to shareholders of Seller concurrent with or immediately after the mailing of the Proxy/Prospectus. The “Election Deadline” shall be the business day prior to the date of the Seller Meeting, after which an Election may not be made.

     (f) Perfection of the Election. An Election shall be considered to have been validly made by a Seller shareholder only if the Exchange Agent (as defined in Section 3.04) shall have received an Election Form properly completed and executed by such shareholder prior to the Election Deadline. Holders of record of shares of Seller Common Stock who hold such

shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities (a “Representative”) may submit multiple Election Forms, provided that such Representative certifies that each such Election Form covers all the shares of Seller Common Stock held by that Representative for a particular beneficial owner.

     (g) Revocation of Election. Any Seller shareholder may at any time prior to the Election Deadline revoke such shareholder’s election and submit a new Election Form in accordance with the procedures in Section 3.01(e) by providing written notice that is received by the Exchange Agent by 5:00 p.m., local time for the Exchange Agent, on the business day prior to the Election Deadline. Elections may be similarly revoked if the Effective Date does not occur by September 30, 2008.

     (h) Limitations on Stock Consideration. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement (other than Section 3.01(j)), 55% of the total number of shares of Seller Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time (excluding shares of Seller Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 3.01(b)) (the “Stock Conversion Number”) shall be converted into the Stock Consideration and the remaining outstanding shares of Seller Common Stock (excluding shares of Seller Common Stock to be canceled as provided in Section 3.01(b)) shall be converted into the Cash Consideration.

     (i) Allocation and Proration. To the extent necessary to satisfy the limitations in Section 3.01(g), within three business days after the Election Deadline, Purchaser shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among holders of Seller Common Stock of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration as follows:

          (i) If the number of shares of Seller Common Stock with respect to which holders have elected to receive the Stock Consideration (whether in All-Stock Elections or in Mixed Elections) (the “Stock Election Number”) exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, then all shares with respect to which holders have made the Cash Election (“Cash Election Shares”) and all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and each holder of Stock Election Shares will be entitled to receive (A) the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (2) the Stock Exchange Ratio by (3) a fraction the numerator of which is the Stock Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number (the “Stock Proration Factor”) and (B) cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (2) the Cash Consideration by (3) one minus the Stock Proration Factor;

          (ii) If the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Conversion Number (the amount by which the Stock Conversion Number exceeds the Stock Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and the Non-Election Shares and Cash Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

                    (A) if the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and each holder of Non-Election Shares shall receive (1) the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) the Stock Exchange Ratio by (z) a fraction the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares (the “Non-Election Proration Factor”) and (B) cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) the Cash Consideration by (z) one minus the Non-Election Proration Factor; or

                    (B) if the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and each holder of Cash Election Shares shall receive (1) the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (y) the Stock Exchange Ratio by (z) a fraction the numerator of which is the amount by which the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of Cash Election Shares (the “Cash Proration Factor”) and (B) cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (y) the Cash Consideration by (z) one minus the Cash Proration Factor.

          (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of one hundred (100) or fewer shares of Seller Common Stock of record on the date of this Agreement who have elected the All Cash Election shall not be required to have any of their shares of Seller Common Stock converted into Purchaser Common Stock.

          (j) Tax Treatment of the Parent Merger. For federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Parent Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if necessary to assure that the Parent Merger will not fail to satisfy continuity of interest requirements under applicable federal income tax principles relating to reorganizations under Section 368(a) of the Code, as reasonably determined by counsel to Purchaser, Purchaser shall increase the number of outstanding Seller Common Stock that will be converted into Purchaser Common Stock in the Parent Merger and reduce the number of outstanding Seller Common Stock that will be converted into the right to receive cash in the Parent Merger.

     Section 3.02 Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. At the Effective Time, holders of Seller Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Seller, other than to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to such Seller Common Stock with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time and the consideration provided under this Article III. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Seller or the Surviving Corporation of any shares of Seller Stock.

     Section 3.03 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger; instead, Purchaser shall pay to each holder of Seller Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Purchaser Common Stock (after taking into account all Old Certificates (as defined below) delivered by such holder) an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fractional share of Purchaser Common Stock to which the holder would be entitled by the Purchaser Share Price.

     Section 3.04 Exchange Procedures.

          (a) At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall deposit in an escrow account of American Stock Transfer and Trust Company (the “Exchange Agent”) at Purchaser Bank, for the benefit of the holders of certificates formerly representing shares of Seller Common Stock (“Old Certificates”) an amount of cash necessary to make payments of cash to be paid as part of the Merger Consideration (together with any dividends or distributions with a record date occurring on or after the Effective Date with respect thereto without any interest on any such cash, dividends or distributions) and shall provide the Exchange Agent with the irrevocable authorization to issue sufficient shares of Purchaser Common Stock (“New Certificates”) for those shares of Seller Common Stock being exchanged for Purchaser Common Stock in accordance with this Article III.

          (b) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, but in any event within five business days after the Effective Date, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of an Old Certificate that has not previously submitted an Election Form, transmittal materials (the “Letter of Transmittal”) for use in exchanging their Old Certificates for New Certificates and/or cash. The Letter of Transmittal will contain instructions with respect to the surrender of the Old Certificates and the receipt of the Merger Consideration in exchange therefor. Upon the shareholder’s delivery to the Exchange Agent of Old Certificates owned by such shareholder representing shares of Seller Common Stock (or an indemnity affidavit reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and the Exchange Agent, if any, if such certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed), and the duly completed Letter of Transmittal, the Exchange Agent shall cause New Certificates into which such shares of Seller Common Stock are converted on the Effective Date to be delivered to such shareholder and/or any check in respect of cash to be paid as part of the Merger Consideration (and in respect of any fractional share interests, dividends or distributions that such shareholder shall be entitled to receive). No interest will be paid on any such cash to be paid in lieu of fractional share interests or in respect of dividends or distributions that any such shareholder shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any former holder of Seller Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

          (d) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Purchaser Common Stock with a record date occurring on or after the Effective Date shall be paid to the record holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate representing shares of Seller Common Stock converted in the Merger into the right to receive shares of such Purchaser Common Stock until the holder thereof receives New Certificates in exchange therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.04. After becoming so entitled in accordance with this Section 3.04, the record holder thereof also shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of Purchaser Common Stock, and which such holder had the right to receive upon surrender of the Old Certificates.

     Section 3.05 Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event Purchaser changes the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock issued and outstanding between the date hereof and the Effective Date as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, split up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or similar transaction and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Date, the Stock Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted. In addition, in the event Purchaser enters into an agreement pursuant to which shares of Purchaser Common Stock would be converted into shares or other securities or obligations of another corporation, proper provision shall be made in such agreement so that each Seller shareholder entitled to receive shares of Purchaser Common Stock in the Merger shall be entitled to receive such number of shares or other securities or amount or obligations of such other corporation as such shareholder would be entitled to receive if the Effective Date had occurred immediately prior to the happening of such event. Furthermore, in any such event, the Cash Consideration shall also be proportionately adjusted.

     Section 3.06 Options. On the Effective Date, whether or not then exercisable, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Seller Common Stock under the Seller Stock Plan (each, a “Seller Stock Option”) shall be cancelled and each holder of a Seller Stock Option shall receive from Seller, in consideration of the cancellation all Seller Stock Options held by such option holder, an amount equal to the difference between $31.00 and the aggregate exercise price of such Seller Stock Options. Seller agrees to take the actions contemplated by Section 11(c)(ii) of the Seller Stock Plan to permit the cancellation of Seller Stock Options contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.

          (j) Compliance with Laws. Except as Previously Disclosed, each of Seller and its Subsidiaries:

               (i) is in material compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign statutes, laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, judgments, orders or decrees applicable thereto or to the employees conducting such businesses, including, without limitation, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) (which includes a CRA Rating of “satisfactory” or better), the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and all other applicable fair lending laws and other laws relating to discriminatory business practices;

               (ii) Since December 31, 2006, no event has occurred or circumstance arisen that, individually or taken together with all other facts, circumstances and events (described in any paragraph of Section 5.03 or otherwise), is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Purchaser, except as disclosed in the Purchaser SEC Documents.

               (iii) The records, systems, controls, data and information of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are under the exclusive ownership and direct control of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom), except for any non-exclusive ownership and non-

Purchaser (A) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to Purchaser, including its consolidated Subsidiaries, is made known to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of Purchaser by others within those entities, and (B) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to Purchaser’s outside auditors and the audit committee of Purchaser’s Board of Directors (y) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect Purchaser’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (z) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Purchaser’s internal controls over financial reporting. These disclosures were made in writing by management to Purchaser’s auditors and audit committee and a copy has previously been made available to Seller. As of the date hereof, and except as Previously Disclosed, Purchaser knows of no reason related to Purchaser to believe that Purchaser’s outside auditors and its chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to Sections 302, 404 and 906 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, without qualification (except to extent expressly permitted by such rules and regulations), when next due.

               (iv) Since December 31, 2006, (A) through the date hereof, neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to Purchaser’s knowledge, any director, officer, employee, auditor, accountant or representative of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective internal accounting controls, including any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices and (B) no attorney representing Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, has reported evidence of a material violation of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, or agents to the Board of Directors of Purchaser or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of Purchaser.

          (g) Litigation. Except as Previously Disclosed, as of the date of this Agreement, there is no material suit, action, investigation, audit or proceeding (whether judicial, arbitral, administrative or other) pending or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, nor is there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any Governmental Authority or arbitration outstanding against Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries.

          (h) Regulatory Matters.

               (i) Neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries or properties is a party to or is subject to any order, decree, agreement, memorandum of understanding or similar arrangement with, or a commitment letter or similar submission to, or extraordinary supervisory letter from, any Regulatory Authority charged with the supervision or regulation of financial institutions and their subsidiaries (including their holding companies) or issuers of securities.

               (ii) Neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries has been advised by any Regulatory Authority that such Regulatory Authority is contemplating issuing or requesting (or is considering the appropriateness of issuing or requesting) any such order, decree, agreement, memorandum of understanding, commitment letter, supervisory letter or similar submission nor to its knowledge has any Regulatory Authority commenced an investigation in connection therewith.

          (i) Compliance with Laws. Except as Previously Disclosed, each of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries:

               (iii) has not received, since December 31, 2006, any notification or communication from any Governmental Authority (A) asserting that Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries is not in material compliance with any of the statutes, regulations, or ordinances which such Governmental Authority enforces or (B) threatening to revoke any license, franchise, permit, or governmental authorization (nor, to Purchaser’s knowledge, do any grounds for any of the foregoing exist).

          (j) Environmental Matters. Except as Previously Disclosed, to Purchaser’s knowledge, neither the conduct nor operation of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries nor any condition of any property presently or previously owned, leased or operated by any of them (including, without limitation, in a fiduciary or agency capacity), or on which any of them holds a Lien,

violates or violated Environmental Laws and to Purchaser’s knowledge, no condition has existed or event has occurred with respect to any of them or any such property that, with notice or the passage of time, or both, is reasonably likely to result in liability under Environmental Laws. To Purchaser’s knowledge, neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries has used or stored any Hazardous Material in, on, or at any property presently or previously owned, leased or operated by any of them in violation of any Environmental Law. To Purchaser’s knowledge, neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice from any Person that Purchaser or its Subsidiaries or the operation or condition of any property ever owned, leased, operated, or held as collateral or in a fiduciary capacity by any of them are or were in violation of or otherwise are alleged to have liability under any Environmental Law, including, but not limited to, responsibility (or potential responsibility) for the cleanup or other remediation of any pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous or toxic wastes, substances or materials at, on, beneath, or originating from any such property. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries is the subject of any action, claim, litigation, dispute, investigation or other proceeding with respect to violations of, or liability under, any Environmental Law. To Purchaser’s knowledge, Purchaser and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed all reports and notifications required to be filed with respect to all of its operations and properties presently or previously owned, leased or operated by any of them and has generated and maintained all required records and data under all applicable Environmental Laws.

          (k) Risk Management Instruments. All material interest rate swaps, caps, floors, option agreements, futures and forward contracts and other similar risk management arrangements, whether entered into for Purchaser’s own account, or for the account of one or more of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries or their customers (all of which are listed on Purchaser’s Disclosure Schedule), were entered into (i) in accordance with prudent business practices and all applicable laws, rules, regulations and regulatory policies and (ii) with counterparties believed to be financially responsible at the time; and each of them constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or by general equity principles), and is in full force and effect. Neither Purchaser nor its Subsidiaries, nor to Purchaser’s knowledge any other party thereto, is in breach of any of its obligations under any such agreement or arrangement.

          (l) Books and Records; Minute Books. The books and records of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries have been fully, properly and accurately maintained in all material respects, have been maintained in accordance with ordinary business practices in the banking industry, and there are no material inaccuracies or discrepancies of any kind contained or reflected therein and they fairly reflect the substance of events and transactions included therein. The minute books of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries contain records, which are accurate in all material respects, of all corporate actions of its shareholder(s) and Board of Directors (including committees of its Board of Directors).

Section 5.03(m) of Purchaser’s Disclosure Schedule also sets forth a true and complete list of all transactions, arrangements, and other relationships between or among any such Purchaser affiliated entity, Purchaser, any of its Subsidiaries, and any officer or director of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries that are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements of Purchaser (each, a “Purchaser Off Balance Sheet Transaction”), along with the following information with respect to each such Purchaser Off Balance Sheet Transaction: (i) the business purpose, activities, and economic substance; (ii) the key terms and conditions; (iii) the potential risk to Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) the amount of any guarantee, line of credit, standby letter of credit or commitment, or any other type of arrangement, that could require Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries to fund any obligations under any such transaction; and (v) any other information that could have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries.

          (n) Disclosure. The representations and warranties contained in this Section 5.03 do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements and information contained in this Section 5.03 not misleading.

          (p) Bank Secrecy Act, Anti-Money Laundering and OFAC and Customer Information. Purchaser is not aware of, has not been advised of, and has no reason to believe that any facts or circumstances exist, which would cause it or any of its Subsidiaries to be deemed (i) to be operating in violation in any material respect of the Bank Secrecy Act, the Patriot Act, any order issued with respect to anti-money laundering by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other applicable anti-money laundering statute, rule or regulation; or (ii) not to be in satisfactory compliance in any material respect with the applicable privacy and customer information requirements contained in any federal and state privacy laws and regulations, including, without limitation, in Title V of the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 1999 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as well as the provisions of the information security program adopted by Purchaser pursuant to 12 C.F.R. Part 364. It is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause it to believe that any non-public customer information has been disclosed to or accessed by an unauthorized third party in a manner that would cause it or any of its Subsidiaries to undertake any material remedial action. The Purchaser Board (or, where appropriate, the board of directors of any of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries) has adopted and implemented an anti-money laundering program that contains adequate and appropriate customer identification verification procedures that comply with

Section 326 of the Patriot Act and such anti-money laundering program meets the requirements in all material respects of Section 352 of the Patriot Act and the regulations thereunder, and it (or such other of its Subsidiaries) has complied in all material respects with any requirements to file reports and other necessary documents as required by the Patriot Act and the regulations thereunder.

          (q) Financial Capacity. As of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have sufficient cash and a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares to fulfill its obligations with respect to the Merger Consideration.

Seller agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, in accordance with applicable law and the Seller Articles and Seller Bylaws, all action necessary to convene a meeting of its shareholders (including any adjournment or postponement, the “Seller Meeting”), as promptly as practicable, to consider and vote upon the adoption and approval of this Agreement, as well as any other matters required to be approved by Seller’s shareholders for consummation of the Merger. Subject to its fiduciary duties, as determined in good faith after consultation with independent legal counsel, the Seller Board shall recommend that the shareholders of Seller vote in favor of such adoption and approval.

     Section 6.03 Registration Statement.

          (a) Purchaser agrees to prepare, pursuant to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by Purchaser with the SEC in connection with the issuance of Purchaser Common Stock in the Merger (including the proxy statement and prospectus and other proxy solicitation materials of Seller constituting a part thereof (the “Proxy/Prospectus”) and all related documents). Seller agrees to cooperate, and to cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate, with Purchaser, its counsel and its accountants, in preparation of the Registration Statement and the Proxy/Prospectus; and provided that Seller and its Subsidiaries have cooperated as required above, Purchaser agrees to file the Registration Statement, which will include the form of Proxy/Prospectus with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable but in no event later than 60 days after the date hereof. Each

of Seller and Purchaser agrees to use all reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after filing thereof.

          (b) Each of Seller and Purchaser agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement 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, and (ii) the Proxy/Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to the Seller shareholders and at the time of the Seller Meeting, as the case may be, not 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 in light of the circumstances under which such statement is made, not false or misleading. Each of Seller and Purchaser further agrees that if it shall become aware prior to the Effective Date of any information furnished by it that would cause any of the statements in the Proxy/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 party thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Proxy/Prospectus.

          (c) Purchaser agrees to advise Seller, promptly after Purchaser receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of Purchaser Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or for additional information.

     Section 6.05 Access; Information.

          (a) Seller agrees that upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, it shall afford Purchaser and Purchaser’s officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, such reasonable access during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time to the books,

records (including, without limitation, tax returns and work papers of independent auditors), properties, personnel and to such other information as Purchaser may reasonably request and, during such period, it shall furnish promptly to Purchaser (i) a copy of each material report, schedule and other document filed by Seller pursuant to federal or state securities or banking laws, and (ii) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of Seller as Purchaser may reasonably request. In no event, however, is Seller obligated to (i) provide access or disclose any information to Purchaser where such access or disclosure would violate any agreement not to disclose confidential information; or (ii) provide access to board minutes that discuss of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Acquisition Proposal or any other subject matter Seller reasonably determines should be treated as confidential.

          (b) Each of Purchaser and Seller agrees that it will not, and will cause its representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.05 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of law, each party will keep confidential, and will cause its representatives to keep confidential, all information and documents obtained pursuant to this Section 6.05 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) unless such information (i) was already known to such party, (ii) becomes available to such party from other sources not known by such party to be bound by a confidentiality obligation, (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the party to which such information pertains or (iv) is or becomes readily ascertainable from published information or trade sources.

     Section 6.06 Acquisition Proposals.

          (a) Seller agrees that after the date hereof neither it nor any of its subsidiaries nor any of its respective officers and directors or the officers and directors of any of its subsidiaries shall, and it shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its employees and agents, including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or by any of its subsidiaries (collectively, its “Representatives”) not to, initiate, solicit or encourage, directly or indirectly, any inquiries or the making or implementation of any Acquisition Proposal, or, except to the extent that the Seller Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, that such action is required in order for the Seller Board to comply with its fiduciary duties, engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to an Acquisition

Proposal or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to implement or make an Acquisition Proposal (and in any event, Seller shall not provide any confidential information or data to any Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal unless such Person shall have executed a confidentiality agreement on terms at least as favorable as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement). “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer with respect to the following involving Seller or any of its Significant Subsidiaries: (1) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or other similar transaction; (2) any sale, lease, exchange, pledge, transfer or other disposition of 25% or more of its consolidated assets or liabilities in a single transaction or series of transactions; (3) any tender offer or exchange offer for, or other acquisition of, 25% or more of the outstanding shares of its capital stock; or (4) any public announcement of a proposal, plan or intention to do any of the foregoing or any agreement to engage in any of the foregoing, other than the Merger provided for in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall (i) promptly (but in no event later than 2 business days) advise Purchaser, orally and in writing, of (x) the receipt by it (or any of the other persons referred to above) of any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any material modification of or material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal, or any request for nonpublic information relating to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the properties, books or records Seller or any of it Subsidiaries by any Person or entity that informs the Seller Board or the board of directors of any of its Subsidiaries that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal and (y) the material terms and conditions of such proposal or inquiry (whether written or oral) or modification or amendment to an Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) keep Purchaser fully informed of the status and details of any such proposal or inquiry and any developments with respect thereto. Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any existing confidentiality or standstill agreements in accordance with the terms thereof, and shall immediately take all steps necessary to terminate any approval that may have been heretofore given under any such provisions authorizing any Person to make an Acquisition Proposal. “Significant Subsidiary” has the meaning ascribed to that term in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

          (b) Seller and its Subsidiaries shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than Purchaser) conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all Persons other than Purchaser who have been furnished confidential information regarding Seller or its Subsidiaries in connection with the solicitation of or discussions regarding an Acquisition Proposal within the 12 months prior to the date hereof promptly to return or destroy such information. Neither Seller nor the Seller Board shall approve or take any action to render inapplicable to any Acquisition Proposal any applicable Takeover Laws or Takeover Provisions.

     Section 6.07 Takeover Laws. No party hereto shall take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be subject to requirements imposed by any Takeover Law and each of them shall take all necessary steps within its control to exempt (or

ensure the continued exemption of) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from, or, if necessary, challenge the validity or applicability of, any applicable Takeover Law, as now or hereafter in effect. Neither party will take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated hereby not to comply with any Takeover Provisions and each of them will take all necessary steps within its control to make those transactions comply with (or continue to comply with) the Takeover Provisions.

     Section 6.08 Reports. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall file (and shall cause Seller’s Subsidiaries and Purchaser’s Subsidiaries, respectively, to file), between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, all reports required to be filed by it with the SEC and any other Regulatory Authorities having jurisdiction over such party, and Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of all such reports promptly after the same are filed. Any financial statements contained in any reports to a Regulatory Authority shall be prepared in accordance with requirements applicable to such reports.

     Section 6.09 Nasdaq Listing. Purchaser will use all reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, as promptly as practicable, and in any event before the Effective Time.

     Section 6.10 Regulatory Applications.

          (a) Purchaser and Seller and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare all documentation, to timely effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that it will consult with the other party hereto with respect to the obtaining of all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby. Any initial filings with Governmental Authorities shall be made by Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable after the execution hereof but, provided that Seller has cooperated as described above, in no event later than 60 days after the date hereof. Subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, each of Purchaser and Seller shall, to the extent practicable, consult with the other on all material written information submitted to any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of such parties agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

     Section 6.11 Seller Employees; Director and Management; Indemnification.

          (a) All employees of Seller and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be employed by Purchaser or its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”). Such employment of the Continuing Employees shall be subject to Purchaser’s usual terms, conditions and policies of employment. Continuing Employees shall be entitled to participate in all benefit plans and programs on the same basis as other similarly- situated employees of Purchaser, including, but not limited to, vacation, health, life insurance, disability insurance, defined benefit pension plans and salary deferral plans. For the calendar year including the Effective Date, the Continuing Employees shall not be required to satisfy any deductible, co-payment, out-of-pocket maximum or similar requirements under the benefit plans maintained by Purchaser (or its Subsidiaries) that provide medical, dental and other welfare benefits (the “Purchaser Welfare Plans”) to the extent of amounts previously credited for such purposes under the Seller Plans that provide medical, dental and other welfare benefits (the “Seller Welfare Plans”). Any waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions and requirements to show evidence of good health contained in such Purchaser Welfare Plans shall be waived with respect to the Continuing Employees (except to the extent any such waiting period, pre-existing condition exclusion, or requirement to show evidence of good health applied under the applicable Seller Welfare Plan in which the participant then participates or is otherwise eligible to participate as of immediately prior to the Effective Time). Continuing Employees will be given credit for their service with Seller for purposes of eligibility and vesting under all of Purchaser’s Welfare Plans and other employee benefit plans. This Section 6.11(a) shall not be construed  to limit the ability of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any employee at any time for any reason or to review employee benefits programs from time to time and to make such changes as they deem appropriate.

          (b) Purchaser agrees to honor, or to cause the appropriate Purchaser Subsidiary to honor, in accordance with their terms, all change in control agreements listed on Section 6.11(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiary from amending or terminating any such agreement in accordance with its terms and applicable law.

          (c) Effective immediately following the Effective Date, the Continuing Employees will be eligible for severance benefits and defined benefit pension plan coverage as set forth in Section 6.11(c) of the Disclosure Schedule.

          (d) No provision of this Section 6.11 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any Continuing Employee, or any other employee or former employee of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (including any beneficiary or dependent of any Continuing Employee, other

employee or former employee) in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) or any other matter.

          (e) Prior to the Effective Date, Seller shall take all actions that may be requested by Purchaser in writing with respect to (i) causing one or more Plans to terminate as of the Effective Date, or as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, (ii) causing benefit accrual and entitlements under any Plan to cease as of the Effective Date, (iii) causing the continuation on and after the Effective Date of any contract, arrangement or insurance policy relating to any Plan for such period as may be requested by Purchaser, or (iv) facilitating the merger of any Plan into any employee benefit plan maintained by Purchaser.

          (f) In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including, without limitation, any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Date, a director or officer of Seller (the “Indemnified Parties”) is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of Seller, or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after the Effective Date, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to defend against and respond thereto. On and after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent permitted by law, each such Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by law upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable law), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, and in the event of any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether asserted or arising before or after the Effective Date), the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to them after consultation with Purchaser; provided, however, that (1) Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and upon such assumption Purchaser shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Purchaser elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties reasonably advises the Indemnified Parties that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Purchaser and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to them after notification, and Purchaser shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties, (2) Purchaser shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties, (3) Purchaser shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (4) Purchaser shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall

have become final and nonappealable, that indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable law. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim Indemnification under this Section 6.11(f), upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify Purchaser shall not relieve it of its obligations hereunder except (and only) to the extent that such failure materially prejudices Purchaser. Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 6.11(f) continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Date; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim (a “Claim”) asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Claim.

          (g) Purchaser agrees that all rights to indemnification and all limitations on liability existing in favor of the directors, officers and employees of Seller and any of its Subsidiaries (the “Covered Parties”) as provided in their respective articles of incorporation, bylaws or similar governing documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Date shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect, and shall be honored by such entities or their respective successors as if they were the indemnifying party thereunder, without any amendment thereto, for a period of six years from the Effective Date; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Claim asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Claim; provided, further, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6.11(g) shall be deemed to preclude the liquidation, consolidation or merger of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, in which case all of such rights to indemnification and limitations on liability shall be deemed to so survive and continue as an obligation of Purchaser or the successor to Seller or its Subsidiary notwithstanding any such liquidation, consolidation or merger.

          (h) Purchaser, from and after the Effective Date will use its reasonable best efforts directly or indirectly to cause the persons who served as directors or officers of Seller on or before the Effective Date to be covered by Seller’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (provided that Purchaser may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous than such policy) but in no event shall any insured person be entitled under this Section 6.11(h) to insurance coverage more favorable than that provided to him or her in such capacities as of the date hereof with respect to acts or omissions resulting from their service as such on or prior to the Effective Date. Such insurance coverage, if reasonably available at a reasonable cost relative to the coverage obtained, shall commence on the Effective Date and will be provided for a period of no less than three years after the Effective Date; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be required to expend more than 150% of the current amount expended by Seller (the “Insurance Amount”) to maintain or procure insurance coverage pursuant hereto and, provided, further, that the Insurance Amount shall be deemed reasonable for purposes of this Section 6.11(h). Seller agrees to renew any such existing insurance or to purchase any “discovery period” insurance provided for thereunder at Purchaser’s request.

          (i) In the event Purchaser or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser assume the obligations set forth in this section.

          (j) The provisions of Section 6.11(f), (g), (h) and (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and their respective heirs and representatives.

          (k) The parties agree to take the further actions Previously Disclosed by Purchaser. [See terms to be disclosed in Disclosure Schedule.]

     Section 6.12 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (i) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it or (ii) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein.

     Section 6.13 Dividend Coordination. It is agreed by the parties hereto that they will cooperate to assure that as a result of the Merger, during any applicable period, there shall not be a payment of both a Purchaser and a Seller dividend. The parties further agree that if the Effective Date is at the end of a fiscal quarter, then they will cooperate to assure that the Seller shareholders receive the dividend declared by Purchaser, if any, rather than the dividend for that period, if any, declared by Seller. In no event, however, shall Seller shareholders fail to receive a dividend from either of Seller or Purchaser for any quarterly period (or portion thereof) between the date hereof and the Effective Date.

     Section 6.14 Board of Directors; Advisory Board.

          (a) Effective as of the Effective Date, three members of the Seller Board designated prior to the Effective Date by Purchaser’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in accordance with its policies and procedures, as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, shall be appointed to the Purchaser Board and to the Board of Directors of Purchaser Bank.

or Advisory Directors of Purchaser or Purchaser Bank, as the case may be which shall be at least $800 per year of Advisory Board service.

     Section 6.15 Tax Treatment. (i)  Each of Purchaser and Seller agrees not to take any actions subsequent to the date of this Agreement that would adversely affect the qualification of the Parent Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, and (ii) each of Purchaser and Seller agrees to take any action as may be reasonably required, if such action may be reasonably taken to reverse the impact of any past actions that would adversely impact the qualification of the Parent Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

     Section 6.16 No Breaches of Representations and Warranties. Between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, without the written consent of the other party, each of Purchaser and Seller will not do any act or suffer any omission of any nature whatsoever that would cause any of the representations or warranties made in Article V of this Agreement to become untrue or incorrect in any material respect.

     Section 6.17 Consents. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain any required consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     Section 6.18 Insurance Coverage. Seller shall cause each of the policies of insurance listed in its Disclosure Schedule to remain in effect between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Date.

     Section 6.19 Correction of Information. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall promptly correct and supplement any information furnished under this Agreement so that such information shall be correct and complete in all material respects at all times, and shall include all facts necessary to make such information correct and complete in all material respects at all times, provided that any such correction that may result in a change to a party’s Disclosure Schedule shall not be made without the prior written consent of the other party.

     Section 6.20 Confidentiality. Except for the use of information in connection with the Registration Statement described in Section 6.03 hereof and any other governmental filings required in order to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, all information (collectively, the “Information”) received by each of Seller and Purchaser, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be kept in strictest confidence; provided that, subsequent to the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC, this Section 6.20 shall not apply to information included in the Registration Statement or to be included in the official Proxy/Prospectus to be sent to the shareholders of Seller under Section 6.03. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Information will be used only for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser agree to hold the Information in strictest confidence and shall not use, and shall not disclose directly or indirectly any of such Information except when, after and to the extent such Information (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than through the failure of Seller or Purchaser to fulfill its obligations hereunder, (ii) was already

known to the party receiving the Information on a nonconfidential basis prior to the disclosure or (iii) is subsequently disclosed to the party receiving the Information on a nonconfidential basis by a third party having no obligation of confidentiality to the party disclosing the Information. It is agreed and understood that the obligations of Seller and Purchaser contained in this Section 6.20 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

     Section 6.21 Voting Agreement. Each director of Seller shall, within 30 days of the date hereof, enter into a voting agreement with Purchaser pursuant to which such director agrees to vote all shares of Seller Common Stock with respect to which such director shall have voting rights on the record date for the special meeting of Seller in favor of the Parent Merger and further agrees not to dispose of any shares of Seller Common Stock he or she holds as of the date of such voting agreement prior to the earlier to occur of the Effective Date or the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

     Section 6.22 Certain Policies.

     Section 6.23 Brokerage and Finder’s Fees. Purchaser shall be fully responsible for any brokerage fee, finder’s fee, commission or other similar form of compensation payable to any broker, finder or agent in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

     Section 6.24 Section 16(b) Exemption. Purchaser and Seller agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain Seller Insiders (as defined below) in connection with the Merger, both prior to and after the Effective Date, it is desirable that Seller Insiders not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in connection with the conversion of shares of Seller Common Stock into shares of Purchaser Common Stock in the Merger, and for that compensatory and retentive purpose agree to the provisions of this Section 6.24.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, by Purchaser or Seller in the event of either: (i) a breach by the other party of any representation or warranty contained herein (subject to the standard set forth in Section 5.02), which breach cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to the breaching party of such breach; or (ii) a breach by the other party of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein, which breach cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to the breaching party of such breach, provided that (A) such breach (under either clause (i) or (ii))

would entitle the non-breaching party not to consummate the Merger under Article VII, and (B) the terminating party is not itself in material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

          (c) Delay. At any time prior to the Effective Time, by Purchaser or Seller, if its Board of Directors so determines by vote of a majority of the members of its entire Board, in the event that the Merger is not consummated by September 30, 2008, except to the extent that the failure of the Merger then to be consummated arises out of or results from the knowing action or inaction of the party seeking to terminate pursuant to this Section 8.01(c).

          (d) No Approval. By Seller or Purchaser in the event (i) the approval of any Governmental Authority required for consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have been denied by final nonappealable action of such Governmental Authority or an application therefore shall have been permanently withdrawn at the invitation, request or suggestion of a Governmental Authority; (ii) the Seller shareholders fail to adopt this Agreement at the Seller Meeting and approve the Merger; or (iii) any of the closing conditions have not been met as required by Article VII hereof.

          (e) Adverse Action.

After providing such notice, Seller shall provide a reasonable opportunity to Purchaser during the five business day period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable Seller to proceed with the Merger on such adjusted terms. For purposes of this provision, the term “Superior Proposal” is defined as an Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of Sellers determines, after consultation with its financial advisor, is superior to the Merger from a financial point of view to Seller’s shareholders.

If Seller elects to exercise its termination right pursuant to this Section 8.01(g), it shall give prompt written notice thereof to Purchaser. During the three business day period commencing with its receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall have the option of paying additional Merger Consideration in the form of Purchaser Common Stock, cash, or a combination of Purchaser Common Stock and cash so that the Merger Consideration shall be valued at the lesser of (i) the product of 0.15 and the Initial Purchaser Market Value multiplied by the Stock Exchange Ratio or (ii) the product obtained by multiplying the Index Ratio by the Initial Purchaser Market Value multiplied by the Stock Exchange Ratio. If within such three business day period, Purchaser delivers written notice to Seller that it intends to proceed with the Merger by paying such additional consideration, as contemplated by the preceding sentence, then no termination shall have occurred pursuant to this Section 8.01(g) and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms (except that the Merger Consideration shall have been so modified).

     “Index Ratio” shall be the Final Index Price divided by the Initial Index Price.

     If Purchaser declares or effects a stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction between the date of this Agreement and the Determination Date, the price for the Purchaser Common Stock shall be appropriately adjusted for the purposes of applying this Section 8.01(g).

     Section 8.02 Effect of Termination and Abandonment; Enforcement of Agreement.

          (a) Seller shall pay to Purchaser by wire transfer in same day funds within one business day of the date that Seller enters into an agreement as contemplated by Subsections (a) or (b) of this Section 8.03, a termination fee in the amount of Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,500,000) (the “Termination Fee”) if:

               (i) this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.01(b) or 8.01(e) or by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(ii) or by Seller pursuant to Section 8.01(f); and prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Seller was commenced, publicly proposed or publicly disclosed; and within 18 months after such termination, Seller shall have entered into an agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated; or

               (ii) after receiving an Acquisition Proposal, the Seller Board does not take action to convene the Seller Meeting and/or recommend that Seller shareholders adopt this Agreement; and within 18 months after such receipt, Seller shall have entered into an agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated.

     Upon payment of the Termination fee described in this Section 8.03, Seller shall have no further liability to Purchaser at law or in equity with respect to such termination. Seller acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Purchaser would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Seller fails to pay timely any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.03 and, in order to obtain such payment, Purchaser commences a suit that results in a judgment against Seller for the amount payable to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.03, Seller shall pay to Purchaser its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount so payable at the applicable Federal Funds rate.
