RECITALS

A. The Boards of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, M&T and Merger Sub have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and their shareholders to consummate the strategic business combination transaction provided for in this Agreement, in which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub as the surviving entity in the Merger (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Company”).

B. The parties intend the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), and intend for this Agreement to constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

C. The parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall merge with and into Merger Sub. Merger Sub shall be the Surviving Company in the Merger and shall continue its existence under the laws of the State of Delaware. As of the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall cease.

Section 1.2 Closing. On the terms and subject to conditions set forth in this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, on a date to be specified by the parties, which date shall be no later than three Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable law) of the latest to occur of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by M&T and ▇▇▇▇▇▇. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

Section 1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on or before the Closing Date, M&T shall cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary”), a Certificate of Merger (the “Delaware Certificate of Merger”) as provided in Section 251 of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective as of the date and time specified in the Delaware Certificate of Merger (such date and time, the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall vest in Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company. The Surviving Company shall assume the liquidation account of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at the Effective Time in accordance with 12 C.F.R. § 239.62, and thereafter shall administer the liquidation account in accordance therewith.

(b) The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Company and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

(c) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, M&T will invite all members of the Board of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as of the date of this Agreement (other than the member who is elected to the M&T Board) to serve until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date as paid members of a regional advisory board in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 1.6(c) of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Disclosure Schedule, the function of which will be to advise M&T with respect to deposit and lending activities in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bank’s former market area and to maintain and develop customer relationships.

Section 1.7 Officers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the officers of the Surviving Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly appointed, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Immediately following the Merger, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ City Savings Bank, a federal savings association and wholly owned Subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bank”), will merge (the “Bank Merger”) with and into Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, a bank chartered under the laws of the State of New York and a wholly owned Subsidiary of M&T (“M&T Bank”). M&T Bank shall be the surviving entity in the Bank Merger and shall continue its corporate existence under the name Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, and, following the Bank Merger, the separate existence of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bank shall cease. The parties agree that the Bank Merger shall become effective immediately following the Effective Time. The Bank Merger shall be implemented pursuant to a subsidiary plan of merger, in a form to be specified by M&T in consultation with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Subsidiary Plan of Merger”). In order to obtain the necessary state and federal Regulatory Approvals for the Bank Merger, M&T and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall cause the following to be accomplished prior to the filing of applications for Regulatory Approval: (i)(A) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall cause ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bank to approve the Subsidiary Plan of Merger, (B) ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as the sole shareholder of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bank, shall approve the Subsidiary Plan of Merger and (C) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall cause the Subsidiary Plan of Merger to be duly executed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bank and delivered to M&T, and (ii)(A) M&T shall cause M&T Bank to approve the Subsidiary Plan of Merger, (B) M&T, as the sole shareholder of M&T Bank, shall approve the Subsidiary Plan of Merger and (C) M&T shall cause the Subsidiary Plan of Merger to be duly executed by M&T Bank and delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

DELIVERY OF MERGER

CONSIDERATION

Section 2.1 Conversion of Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of M&T, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the holder of any of the following securities:

(a) All shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are owned, directly or indirectly, by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or M&T (other than (i) shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock held in trust accounts, managed accounts, mutual funds and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary or agency capacity, that are beneficially owned by third parties, which shall include any shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock held in a rabbi or other trusts for purposes of funding a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Benefit Plan (any such shares, “Trust Account Common Shares”), (ii) shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock held, directly or indirectly, by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or M&T in respect of a debt previously contracted (any such shares, “DPC Common Shares”) and (iii) the ESOP Initial Financed Shares (as defined below)) (collectively, excluding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Exception Shares”, it being understood and agreed that the Exception Shares shall include (A) the ESOP Subsequent Financed Shares (as defined below) and (B) the number of Pledged ESOP Initial Financed Shares (as defined below) having a value equal to the ESOP’s indebtedness collateralized thereby), shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no stock of M&T or cash (including cash in lieu of fractional shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock) shall be delivered in exchange therefor, except that the cancellation of the ESOP Subsequent Financed Shares and the applicable Pledged ESOP Initial Financed Shares shall be in consideration for the repayment and/or forgiveness in full of the ESOP’s indebtedness collateralized thereby. For purposes of this Agreement, the “ESOP Initial Financed Shares” shall be shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock owned by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) that either (A) have been allocated to participants in the ESOP or committed as of the Effective Time for release and allocation to participants in the ESOP or (B) were acquired prior to January 1, 2001 and pledged (and not committed for release as of the Effective Time) as collateral for the debt incurred at the time of acquisition of such shares (the “Pledged ESOP Initial Financed Shares”), and the “ESOP Subsequent Financed Shares” shall be those shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock owned by the ESOP that were acquired after January 1, 2001 and pledged (and not committed for release as of the Effective Time) as collateral for the debt incurred at the time of acquisition of such shares.

(b) Subject to Section 2.1(d), each share of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock (whether or not subject to restriction), including Trust Account Common Shares, DPC Common Shares and ESOP Initial Financed Shares, but excluding all Exception Shares and Dissenting Shares, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II, into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof as provided in and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.3 and 2.4(f), either (i) a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.50 per share, of M&T (the “M&T Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Per Share Stock Consideration”) or (ii) an amount in cash equal to the product of the Per Share Stock Consideration and the Closing Price (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) ((i) and (ii) together, in the aggregate for all such shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock, the “Merger Consideration”). The calculations required by this Section 2.1(b) shall be prepared jointly by M&T and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Exchange Ratio” means 0.08403, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(d), and (ii) “Closing Price” means the average, rounded to the nearest one ten-thousandth of the closing sale prices of M&T Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the ten trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date.

- 4 -

(c) All of the shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II are hereinafter defined as “Old Shares.” Old Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate or evidence of shares in book-entry form (each, an “Old Certificate”), in each case formerly representing Old Shares, shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive, as applicable, without interest, upon exchange of such Old Certificate in accordance with this Article II (i) any dividends with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock with a record date prior to the Effective Time but unpaid as of the Effective Time and (ii) the consideration to which he or she may be entitled pursuant to this Article II.

(d) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, M&T Common Stock or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio to provide the holders of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, that nothing in this Section 2.1(d) shall be construed to permit ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or M&T to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Appraisal Rights. Each issued and outstanding share of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock the holder of which has perfected his right to dissent under the DGCL 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 DGCL. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall give M&T prompt notice upon receipt by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of any such demands for payment of the fair value of such shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock, any withdrawals of such notice and any other instruments provided pursuant to applicable law (any shareholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not, except with the prior written consent of M&T, 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 Shareholder as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under the DGCL. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall give M&T the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Surviving Company. If any Dissenting Shareholder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his, her or its right to such payment at or prior to the Effective Time, such holder’s shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock shall be converted into a right to receive cash or M&T 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock of such holder shall be treated as a No Election Share.

- 5 -

Section 2.3 Election Procedures.

(a) An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials in such form as M&T and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall mutually agree (the “Election Form”) shall be mailed 35 days prior to the anticipated Closing Date or on such other date as M&T and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall mutually agree (the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock as of the close of business on the fifth Business Day prior to the Mailing Date (the “Election Form Record Date”).

(b) Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to specify (A) the number of shares of such holder’s ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration (“Stock Election Shares”), (B) the number of shares of such holder’s ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration (“Cash Election Shares”) or (C) that such holder makes no election with respect to such holder’s ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock (“No Election Shares”). Any Hudson Common Stock with respect to which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 30th day following the Mailing Date (or such other time and date as M&T and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”) shall also be deemed to be No Election Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any election that may be made with respect to any share to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1(a) with respect of the ESOP indebtedness shall be disregarded for purposes of Section 2.3(f).

(c) M&T shall make available one or more Election Forms as may reasonably be requested from time to time by any person who becomes a holder (or beneficial owner) of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock between the Election Form Record Date and the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Election Deadline, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein.

(d) Any such 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 Old 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included in the Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting such Election Form only by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, unless a subsequent properly completed Election Form is submitted and actually received by the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline, the shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock

- 6 -

represented by such Election Form shall become No Election Shares and M&T shall cause the Old Certificates to be promptly returned without charge to the person submitting the Election Form upon written request to that effect from the holder who submitted the Election Form. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of M&T regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither M&T nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the total number of shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock that will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include the Dissenting Shares) shall equal the sum of (i) 204,338,066 shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock and (ii) the product of (A) 40% and (B) the number of shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock that are issued, from and after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, pursuant to the exercise of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Options and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Other Stock Awards outstanding as of the date hereof (such number of shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock, the “Target Cash Conversion Amount”).

(f) Within 10 Business Days after the Effective Time, M&T shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the holders of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock of rights to receive M&T Common Stock or cash in the Merger in accordance with the Election Forms as follows:

(i) Cash Oversubscribed. If the total number of the Cash Election Shares (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include the Dissenting Shares) is greater than the Target Cash Conversion Amount, then:

all Stock Election Shares and No Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration,

the Exchange Agent shall then select from among the Cash Election Shares, by a pro rata selection process, a sufficient number of shares to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration (“Stock Designated Shares”) such that the aggregate number of shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock that will be paid the Per Share Cash Consideration equals the Target Cash Conversion Amount, and all Stock Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration, and

the Cash Election Shares that are not Stock Designated Shares will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration.

- 7 -

(ii) Cash Undersubscribed. If the total number of the Cash Election Shares (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include the Dissenting Shares) is less than the Target Cash Conversion Amount, then:

all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration,

the Exchange Agent shall then select first from among the No Election Shares, by a random selection process, and then (if necessary) from among the Stock Election Shares, by a pro rata selection process, a sufficient number of shares to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration (“Cash Designated Shares”) such that the aggregate number of shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock that will be paid the Per Share Cash Consideration equals the Target Cash Conversion Amount, and all Cash Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration, and

the Stock Election Shares and the No Election Shares that are not Cash Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration.

(iii) Cash Subscriptions Sufficient. If the number of Cash Election Shares (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include the Dissenting Shares) is equal to the Target Cash Conversion Amount, then subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above shall not apply and all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration and all Stock Election Shares and No Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration.

The pro rata selection process to be used by the Exchange Agent shall consist of such equitable pro ration processes as shall be mutually determined by M&T and ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares may be converted into the right to receive Per Share Stock Consideration to the extent necessary to secure the tax opinions required by Sections 7.2(d) and 7.3(d).

Section 2.4 Exchange Procedures.

(a) As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, but in no event later than 10 days thereafter, and continuing until the first anniversary of the Effective Time, M&T shall make available on a timely basis or cause to be made available to an exchange agent agreed upon by M&T and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Exchange Agent”) (i) cash in an amount sufficient to allow the Exchange Agent to make all payments that may be required pursuant to this Article II and (ii) certificates, or at M&T’s option, evidence of shares in book entry form, representing the shares

- 8 -

of M&T Common Stock (“New Certificates”), each to be given to the holders of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock in exchange for Old Certificates pursuant to this Article II. Upon such anniversary, any such cash or New Certificates remaining in the possession of the Exchange Agent (together with any earnings in respect thereof) shall be delivered to M&T. Any holder of Old Certificates who has not theretofore exchanged his or her Old Certificates pursuant to this Article II shall thereafter be entitled to look exclusively to M&T, and only as a general creditor thereof, for the consideration to which he or she may be entitled upon exchange of such Old Certificates pursuant to this Article II. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any holder of Old Certificates for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event later than ten days thereafter, M&T shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or deliver to each person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock and who theretofore has not submitted such holder’s Old Certificates with an Election Form, a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent) containing instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Old Certificates in exchange for the consideration to which such person may be entitled pursuant to this Article II. After completion of the allocation procedure set forth in Section 2.3 and upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of an Old Certificate for cancellation together with such letter of transmittal or Election Form, as the case may be, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Old Certificate shall promptly be provided in exchange therefor, but in no event later than ten Business Days after due surrender, a New Certificate and/or a check in the amount to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II, and the Old Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will accrue or be paid with respect to any property to be delivered upon surrender of Old Certificates.

(c) If any cash payment is to be made in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the person requesting such exchange shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the making of such payment of the Per Share Cash Consideration in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason relating to such holder or requesting person, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable. If any New Certificate representing shares of M&T Common Stock is to be issued in the name of other than the registered holder of the Old Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of M&T Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason relating to such holder or requesting person, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

- 9 -

(d) No dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to M&T Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of an Old Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof 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 M&T Common Stock represented by the New Certificate.

(e) At or after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Company of Old Shares.

(f) If any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by M&T or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as M&T or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, M&T or the Exchange Agent shall, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate, pay or cause to be paid the consideration deliverable in respect of the Old Shares formerly represented by such Old Certificate pursuant to this Article II.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither certificates nor scrip for fractional shares of M&T Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of M&T Common Stock shall receive in lieu thereof cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock owned by such holder at the Effective Time) by the Closing Price. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.

Section 2.5 Stock Options.

(a) At the Effective Time, all outstanding and unexercised employee and director options to purchase shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock (each, a “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option”), whether vested or unvested at the Effective Time, shall then cease to represent an option to purchase ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock and will be converted automatically into options to purchase M&T Common Stock; provided, that with respect to each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions, the performance-based vesting conditions applicable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option shall be deemed satisfied at the Effective Time. The following shall apply with respect to each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option after the Effective Time:

(i) the number of shares of M&T Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option will equal the product of (x) the number of shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock that were purchasable under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option immediately before the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole share; and

- 10 -

(ii) the exercise price per share of M&T Common Stock for each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option will equal (x) the per share exercise price of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option in effect immediately before the Effective Time divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest cent.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the exercise price and the number of shares of M&T Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with any applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and (ii) in the case of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of M&T Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(c) M&T will assume each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.5(a) above. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting) as were applicable under such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the applicable award agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Plans” means the plans set forth in Section 2.5(c) of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Disclosure Schedule.

Section 2.6 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Deferred Stock Units.

(a) At the Effective Time, each deferred stock unit of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ which becomes vested solely based on the continued service of the holder thereof, granted under any of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Plans that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “▇▇▇▇▇▇ DSU”) shall cease to represent a right or award with respect to shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock and shall be automatically converted, at the Effective Time, into an award with respect to M&T Common Stock; provided, however, the following shall apply at the Effective Time: the number of shares of M&T Common Stock subject to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ DSU shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock subject to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ DSU immediately before the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

(b) M&T will assume each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ DSU as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.6(a) above. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ DSU shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting) as were applicable under such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ DSU immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the applicable award agreement.

(a) Each deferred stock unit award of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ which becomes vested in part based on the achievement of performance conditions granted under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock Plans, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU”), shall cease to represent a right or award with respect to shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock and shall (i) with respect to each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU granted prior to the date hereof the performance-based vesting conditions applicable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU shall be deemed satisfied at the Effective Time (it being understood that with respect to each such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU that is subject to multiple levels of pay-out depending on the level of performance achieved, performance shall be deemed achieved at target level for the applicable performance measurement period and the number of shares earned with respect to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU shall be fixed at target level as of the Effective Time), and, as of the Effective Time: (A) a portion of each then outstanding ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU award granted prior to the date hereof shall vest in an amount determined by multiplying (x) the number of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSUs underlying the applicable ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU award (taking into account the deemed performance described above) by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed during the performance measurement period through the Effective Time and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the performance measurement period; and (B) each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU that vests in accordance with Section 2.7(a)(i)(A) above shall, subject to M&T’s receipt of an award surrender agreement from the holder thereof acknowledging the treatment of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ equity awards in accordance with this Agreement, be automatically converted into the right to receive a payment in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than ten Business Days thereafter) equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration less applicable taxes and withholding; and (ii) each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU that does not vest pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i)(A) above including each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU granted after the date hereof shall be automatically converted into a right to receive that number of shares of M&T Common Stock as is equal to the Exchange Ratio. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7 to the contrary, the payment in respect of the vested portion of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSUs at the Effective Time as provided in Section 2.7(a)(i)(B) shall be delayed to a later date or event as shall comply with Section 409A of the Code as determined to be necessary by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ based on written advice of counsel to ▇▇▇▇▇▇, provided that any such later date or event shall be communicated in writing to M&T as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof and in any event prior to the Effective Time.

(b) M&T will assume each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU that is converted pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(ii) above. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting) as were applicable under such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Performance DSU immediately prior to the Effective pursuant to the applicable award agreement.

(b) M&T will assume each ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Other Stock Award as adjusted in accordance with Section 2.8(a) above.

(b) The parties shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities that are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such third parties or Governmental Entities; provided, however, that M&T and M&T Bank, as applicable, shall file applications (i) with the Federal Reserve under the BHC Act and the Bank Merger Act, and (ii) with the New York State Department of Financial Services under applicable laws, in each case no later than twenty (20) Business Days following the date of this Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and M&T shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable laws, all the information relating to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or M&T, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Each of M&T and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 Joint Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to shareholders and at the time of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ meeting of its shareholders to consider and vote upon approval of this Agreement, 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 the light of the circumstances under which such statement was made, not misleading.

(e) M&T agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, by or on behalf of the Surviving Company, at or prior to the Effective Time, one or more supplemental indentures, guarantees, and other instruments required for the due assumption of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ outstanding debt, guarantees, securities, and other agreements to the extent required by the terms of such debt, guarantees, securities, and other agreements.

(f) Each of M&T and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall promptly advise the other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity the consent or approval of which is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval may be materially delayed.

Section 6.2 Access to Information.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, advisors, agents and other representatives of M&T, reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records, and, during such period, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to M&T (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws or federal or state banking laws (other than reports or documents that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is not permitted to disclose under applicable law) and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as M&T may reasonably request. Upon the reasonable request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, M&T shall furnish such reasonable information about it and its business as is relevant to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its shareholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither ▇▇▇▇▇▇ nor M&T, nor any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of such party or its Subsidiaries or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) All nonpublic information and materials provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement entered into between the parties as of June 29, 2012 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

- 52 -

▇▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder Approval, including by communicating to its shareholders its recommendation that they adopt and approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. However, if the Board of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, after consultation with (and based on the advice of) outside counsel, determines in good faith that, because of the receipt by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of an Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, it would more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to continue to recommend this Agreement, then in submitting this Agreement to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ shareholders, the Board of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may submit this Agreement to its shareholders without recommendation (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the Board of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to the shareholders in the Joint Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by law; provided that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may not take any actions under this sentence until after giving M&T at least three Business Days to respond to any such Acquisition Proposal or other circumstances giving rise to such particular proposed action (and after giving M&T notice of the latest material terms and conditions and the identity of the third party in any such Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment or modification thereof, or describe in reasonable detail such other circumstances) and then taking into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by M&T. In determining whether to change its recommendation, the Board of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by M&T and any other information provided by M&T in response to such notice. Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.3(a), including with respect to the notice periods referred to in this Section 6.3(a). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of its obligation to submit this Agreement to its shareholders to a vote.

(b) The Board of Directors of M&T has resolved to recommend to M&T’s shareholders that they approve the issuance of M&T Common Stock in connection with the Merger, and will submit to its shareholders the proposed issuance of M&T Common Stock and any other matters required to be approved by its shareholders in order to carry out the intentions of this Agreement. M&T shall duly take, in accordance with applicable law and the governing organization documents of M&T, all action necessary to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC, for the purpose of obtaining the M&T Shareholder Approval (the “M&T Shareholder Meeting”). The Board of Directors of M&T will use all reasonable best efforts to obtain from its shareholders the M&T Shareholder Approval, including by communicating to its shareholders its recommendation that they approve the issuance of M&T Common Stock in connection with the Merger. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve M&T of its obligation to submit this Agreement to its shareholders to a vote. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that M&T may submit to its shareholders at the M&T Shareholder Meeting a proposal to amend the terms of M&T’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A and Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C as contemplated by that certain Underwriting Agreement dated as of August 17, 2012 among M&T and the representatives of the several underwriters.

(d) If on the date of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder Meeting, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock to obtain the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder Approval, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall adjourn the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder Meeting until such date as shall be mutually agreed upon by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and M&T, which date shall not be less than five days nor more than 10 days after the date of adjournment, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue to use all reasonable best efforts, together with its proxy solicitor, to assist in the solicitation of proxies from shareholders relating to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder Approval. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall only be required to adjourn or postpone the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder Meeting one time pursuant to this Section 6.3(d).

(e) If on the date of the M&T Shareholder Meeting, M&T has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of M&T Common Stock to obtain the M&T Shareholder Approval, M&T shall adjourn the M&T Shareholder Meeting until such date as shall be mutually agreed upon by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and M&T, which date shall not be less than five days nor more than 10 days after the date of adjournment, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall continue to use all reasonable best efforts, together with its proxy solicitor, to assist in the solicitation of proxies from shareholders relating to the M&T Shareholder Approval.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, M&T shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to maintain the Severance Pay Plan of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ City Savings Bank without amendment (except as required by applicable law, including tax law) following the Effective Time (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Severance Plan”) and provide each Covered Employee whose employment is terminated (other than a Covered Employee who is terminated under circumstances that constitute a termination for “cause” or under other circumstances not entitling them to severance under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plan or who is otherwise party to an individual agreement that provides for severance pay) during the one-year period following the Effective Time with the severance payments and benefits to which the Covered Employee would have been entitled under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the terms of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Severance Plan, including the requirement to sign a waiver and release.

After the fifth anniversary of the Effective Time, M&T shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to provide the retirees of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subsidiaries identified in clause (i) and the retired Covered Employees identified in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence with access to enroll in the M&T Bank Retiree Medical Plan and the M&T Bank Retiree Life Insurance Plan as in effect on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Time (if any) in accordance with the terms of such plans as in effect from time to time, provided that such retirees shall be deemed to satisfy the eligibility requirements of such plans and shall receive credit for their service with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subsidiaries (to the same extent such service was recognized by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ prior to such retiree’s retirement from ▇▇▇▇▇▇) for purposes of any employer subsidy as in effect on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Time under the terms of the M&T plans (if any) in accordance with the terms of such plans as in effect from time to time.

- 55 -

(b) To the extent that a Covered Employee becomes eligible to participate in a M&T Benefit Plan, M&T shall cause such employee benefit plan to (i) recognize the service of such Covered Employee with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Subsidiaries (or their predecessor entities) for purposes of eligibility, vesting, level of benefits and benefit accrual (other than for purposes of benefit accruals or levels of credit under any M&T Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan), under such M&T Benefit Plan, to the same extent such service was recognized immediately prior to the Effective Time under a comparable ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that such service credit shall not be recognized (A) for purposes of any plan or arrangement under which similarly-situated employees of M&T and its Subsidiaries do not receive credit for prior service or that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation, or (B) if such recognition of service would operate to duplicate any benefits of a Covered Employee with respect to the same period of service; and (ii) with respect to any M&T Benefit Plan that provides medical, dental or vision benefits in which any Covered Employee is eligible to participate, for the plan year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate, (A) cause any pre-existing condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such M&T Benefit Plan to be waived with respect to such Covered Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) recognize any health expenses incurred by such Covered Employee and his or her covered dependents in the year that includes the Closing Date (or, if later, the year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate) for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements and any lifetime maximums under any such M&T Benefit Plan.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, subject to the requirements of applicable law, M&T shall honor all obligations to current and former employees of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subsidiaries under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Benefit Plans, including all employment, change of control or severance agreements entered into by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Subsidiaries or adopted by the Board of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, in each case consistent with the terms of the applicable ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Benefit Plan; provided, that with respect to each employment agreement and change of control agreement entered into by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Subsidiaries and identified on Section 3.11(a) of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Disclosure Schedule (each, an “Executive Agreement”), (1) the bonus component of any severance calculation performed pursuant to each such Executive Agreement for Executive Vice Presidents and above shall be no less than the bonus component that would have resulted in respect of a termination of employment on the date hereof as identified on Section 6.5(c) of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Disclosure Schedule, and (2) the provisions in the Executive Agreements that allow ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to elect to cancel a terminating employee’s outstanding stock options and shares of restricted stock in exchange for a cash payment equal to the spread value of the stock options and the value of the restricted stock shall not be applicable.

- 56 -

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall be construed to limit the right of M&T or any of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subsidiaries) to amend or terminate any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, nor shall anything in this Section 6.5 be construed to require M&T or any of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subsidiaries) to retain the employment of any particular employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries for any fixed period of time following the Closing Date. This Agreement shall inure exclusively to the benefit of, and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no current or former Employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 6.6 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, M&T shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law (and shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law provided the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification), each present and former director, officer and employee of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subsidiaries or fiduciaries of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its Subsidiaries under ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plans (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

- 57 -

(b) Subject to the following sentence, for a period of six years following the Effective Time, M&T will provide or purchase director’s and officer’s liability insurance that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its Subsidiaries (determined as of the Effective Time) (providing only for Side A coverage for Indemnified Persons where the existing policies also include Side B coverage for ▇▇▇▇▇▇) with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from facts or events occurring before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), which insurance will contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Person as that coverage currently provided by ▇▇▇▇▇▇; provided that in no event shall M&T be required to expend, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ for any such insurance (the “Premium Cap”); provided, further, that if any such annual expense at any time would exceed the Premium Cap, then M&T will cause to be maintained policies of insurance which provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. At the option of M&T, prior to the Effective Time and in lieu of the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall purchase a tail policy for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on the terms described in the prior sentence (including subject to the Premium Cap) and fully pay for such policy prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Any Indemnified Person wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.6(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, will promptly notify M&T; provided that failure to so notify will not affect the obligations of M&T under Section 6.6(a) unless and to the extent that M&T is actually and materially prejudiced as a consequence.

(d) If M&T or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, M&T will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of M&T will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.

Section 6.7 Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b). Prior to the Effective Time, M&T and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall each take all such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to cause any disposition of shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock or conversion of any derivative securities in respect of such shares of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.8 No Solicitation.

(a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, agents, advisors, representatives, investment bankers and affiliates (“Representatives”) not to, initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate inquiries or proposals with respect to, or engage or participate in any negotiations concerning, or provide

- 58 -

any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have any discussions with, any person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal; provided that, in the event ▇▇▇▇▇▇ receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal and the Board of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ concludes in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished nonpublic information and participate in such negotiations or discussions to the extent that the Board of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ concludes in good faith (and based on the advice of outside counsel) that failure to take such actions would be more likely than not to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided that prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing proviso or engaging in any negotiations or substantive discussions, it shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ than the Confidentiality Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any persons other than M&T with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and will, subject to applicable law, (x) enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal and (y) promptly request and confirm the return or destruction of any confidential information provided to any person (other than M&T and its Affiliates) pursuant to any such confidentiality or similar agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) advise M&T of any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal and the material terms thereof (including the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal, and, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed contracts), and will keep M&T promptly apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations (including the terms and conditions of any such request, inquiry or Acquisition Proposal or any material changes or developments in the status or terms thereof) on a current basis. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it shall simultaneously provide to M&T any confidential or nonpublic information concerning ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its Subsidiaries that may be provided to any other person in connection with any Acquisition Proposal which has not previously been provided to M&T.

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Board of Directors from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; provided that such Rules will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such Rules would otherwise have under this Agreement.

As used in this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” means a tender or exchange offer, proposal for a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner more than 20% of the voting power in, or more than 20% of the fair market value of the business, assets or deposits of, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any sale of whole loans and securitizations in the ordinary course and any bona fide internal reorganization.

- 59 -

As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (with the percentages set forth in the definition of such term changed from 20% to 50%) that the Board of Directors of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ concludes in good faith to be more favorable from a financial point of view to its shareholders than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (i) after receiving the advice of its financial advisors (who shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm), (ii) after taking into account the likelihood of consummation of such transaction on the terms set forth therein, (iii) after taking into account all legal (with the advice of outside counsel), financial (including the financing terms of any such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of such proposal (including any expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to closing) and any other relevant factors permitted under applicable law and (iv) after taking into account any revisions to the terms of this Agreement contemplated by Section 6.3(a).

Section 6.9 Takeover Laws. No party will 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 will take all necessary steps within its control to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) those transactions from, or if necessary challenge the validity or applicability of, any applicable Takeover Law, as now or hereafter in effect.

Section 6.10 Notification of Certain Matters. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and M&T will give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (a) 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 (b) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article VII; provided, that an unintentional failure to give such notice shall not separately constitute a failure of any condition in Article VII or a basis to terminate this Agreement unless the underlying fact, event or circumstance would independently result in such failure or provide such basis.

Section 6.11 Shareholder Litigation. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall give M&T the opportunity to participate at its own expense in the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and/or its directors or Affiliates relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without M&T’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 6.12 No Control of Other Party’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give M&T, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall give ▇▇▇▇▇▇, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of M&T or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and M&T shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

- 60 -

Section 6.13 Transition. Commencing following the date hereof, and in all cases subject to applicable law, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with M&T and its Subsidiaries to facilitate the integration of the parties and their respective businesses and operating systems effective as of the Closing Date or such later date as may be determined by M&T. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from the date hereof through the Closing Date and consistent with the performance of their day-to-day operations and the continuous operation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the employees, officers and representatives of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Subsidiaries to provide information, data and support, including information, data and support from their outside contractors and vendors, and to assist M&T in performing all tasks, including equipment installation, reasonably required to result in a successful integration at the Closing or such later date as may be determined by M&T.

Section 6.14 Portfolio Restructuring. During the period commencing on the later of (i) the date of receipt of all Requisite Regulatory Approvals and (ii) the date on which each of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder Approval and M&T Shareholder Approval is obtained and until the Closing, the parties shall cooperate in good faith, subject to applicable law and the terms and conditions of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Regulatory Agreements, to restructure ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ investment securities portfolio, mortgage portfolio and debt capital structure effective immediately prior to the Closing; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.14 shall permit ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to undertake any action that would otherwise be prohibited pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be untrue or breached in any respect for any purpose as a consequence of any action which may be jointly undertaken pursuant to this Section 6.14.

(ii) if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before the first anniversary of the date hereof (such date, the “Outside Date”), unless the failure of the Closing to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth in this Agreement;

(iii) if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, in the case of a termination by M&T, or on the part of the M&T, in the case of a termination by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, which breach, either individually or in the aggregate with other breaches by such party, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 or 7.3, as the case may be, and which is not cured within the earlier of the Outside Date and 60 days following written notice to the party committing such breach or by its nature or timing cannot be cured within such time period (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein);

Section 8.3 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that:

(i) (x) prior to the Effective Time and after the date hereof, any person shall have made an Acquisition Proposal, which proposal has been publicly disclosed and not withdrawn or has been made known to senior management of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, or any person shall have publicly announced or made known to senior management of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ an intention (whether or not conditional) to make an Acquisition Proposal, (y) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either party pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii) without the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Shareholder Approval having been

- 65 -

obtained or Section 8.1(b)(iv) or by M&T pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) and (z) within 18 months after the termination of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated or any definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall have been entered into (provided that for purposes of the foregoing, the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 6.8(b) except that the references to “20%” in the definition of an “Acquisition Proposal” in Section 6.8(b) shall be deemed to be references to “50%”); or

In no event shall M&T be obligated to pay ▇▇▇▇▇▇ the M&T Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and M&T acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither party would enter into this Agreement. The amounts payable by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to Section 8.3(b) constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty and shall be the sole monetary remedy of M&T in the event of termination of this Agreement specified in such section. In the event that either party fails to pay when due any amounts payable under this Section 8.3, then (i) such party shall reimburse the other party for all costs and expenses (including disbursements and reasonable fees of counsel) incurred in connection with the collection of such overdue amount, and (ii) such party shall pay to the other party interest on such overdue amount (for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full) at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required to be made.

Section 9.12 Disclosure Schedule. Before entry into this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ delivered to M&T a schedule (a “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Disclosure Schedule”) and M&T delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ a schedule (a “M&T Disclosure Schedule”), in each case that sets forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception to one or more representations or warranties contained in Article III or Article IV, as applicable, or to one or more covenants contained herein; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no such item is required to be set forth as an exception to a representation or warranty if its absence would not result in the related representation or warranty being deemed untrue or incorrect and (ii) the mere inclusion of an item as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Previously Disclosed” means, as applicable, information set forth (i) by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the applicable section of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Disclosure Schedule, or any other section of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Disclosure Schedule (so long as it is reasonably clear from the context that the disclosure in such other section of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Disclosure Schedule is also applicable to the section of this Agreement in question) or (ii) by M&T in the applicable section of the M&T Disclosure Schedule, or any other section of the M&T Disclosure Schedule (so long as it is reasonably clear from the context that the disclosure in such other section of the M&T Disclosure Schedule is also applicable to the section of this Agreement in question).

Section 9.14 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.
