Stock) that immediately prior to the Effective Time had given the holder thereof

Rights"), shall, automatically and without further action on the part of the
holder thereof, be converted into similar rights giving the holder thereof the
right to purchase the same number of shares of Bancorp Common Stock at the same
exercise price per share, and containing such other terms and conditions, as
