This Office Purchase and Assumption Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of this 23^rd day of June, 2011, by and between The Commercial and Savings Bank of Millersburg, Ohio, an Ohio banking corporation with its principal office at 91 North Clay Street, Millersburg, Ohio (“BUYER”) and Premier Bank & Trust, National Association, a national banking association with its principal office located at 2375 Benden Drive, Suite C, Wooster, Ohio (“SELLER”).

WHEREAS, BUYER desires to purchase and assume from SELLER, and SELLER desires to sell and assign to BUYER, certain assets and liabilities associated with offices of SELLER as hereinafter described;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, BUYER and SELLER hereby agree as follows:

PURCHASE AND ASSUMPTION.

1.1

Purchase and Sale of Assets. At the Closing (as defined in Section 6.1 hereof), BUYER shall purchase, acquire and assume, and SELLER shall sell and assign, the real estate and other assets described in Section 1.2 hereof (collectively, the “Assets”), and all leases for such real estate on which Offices (as defined below) are located, all of which are used in and/or relate to business conducted by SELLER at its branch offices known as and located at the sites described in Schedules A and B attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, pursuant to the terms and conditions, and subject to the exceptions, set forth herein. The foregoing offices are collectively referred to as the “Offices” and each, individually, as an “Office.” The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the purchase of assets and assumption of liabilities provided for herein is referred to herein as the “Acquisition.”

1.2

Transfer of Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, SELLER shall assign, transfer, convey and deliver to BUYER, on and as of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 6.1 hereof) free and clear of any liens,

encumbrances or impairments whatsoever except those expressly agreed by BUYER, the Assets, which shall include the following:

(a)

Owned Real Estate. All of SELLER’s right, title and interest in and to the real estate described in attached Schedule A on which an Office is situated, together with all of SELLER’s rights in and to all improvements thereon and all easements rights, privileges and appurtenances associated therewith (the “Owned Real Estate”). Schedule A identifies the Owned Real Estate by street address, legal description and/or tax parcel number;

(b)

Leased Real Estate. A good and valid leasehold estate, with terms reasonably acceptable to BUYER (it being understood that assignment of the Office Lease, as defined below, in its current form or without any material changes shall be acceptable to BUYER), in the real estate described in attached Schedule B created by a certain lease agreement (the “Office Lease”) relating to the referenced Office (the “Leased Real Estate”), specifically identified on Schedule B by street address, legal description and tax parcel number. Schedule B also identifies the Office Lease;

(c)

Furniture and Equipment. All of SELLER’s right, title and interest to the furniture, fixtures and equipment located at the Offices as of the Closing Date (the “Fixed Assets”), free and clear of any liens or impairments whatsoever. A preliminary listing of the Fixed Assets is contained in Schedule C attached hereto, provided, however, that such Fixed Assets shall specifically exclude, among other items (unless otherwise agreed by the parties prior to Closing), teller software, branch capture software, branch capture CPUs, controllers, servers, sign “skins” with SELLER’s name, printed supplies and documents and other materials bearing any SELLER or affiliate name and/or logo, network communications equipment and related devices, leased or licensed software, and marketing fixtures. A final listing of specific items included in the Fixed Assets will be provided by SELLER, subject to final approval by BUYER, prior to the Closing;

(d)

Safe Deposit Business. All of SELLER’s right, title and interest to the safe deposit business (subject to the allocation of safe deposit rental payments as provided in Section 1.3(c)(ii) hereof) conducted at the Offices as of the close of business on the Closing Date;

(e)

Cash on Hand. All cash on hand at the Offices as of the close of business on the Closing Date including vault cash, petty cash, ATM cash and tellers’ cash;

(f)

Prepaid Expenses. All prepaid expenses recorded or otherwise reflected on the books of SELLER and attributable to the Offices as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (a preliminary listing of which has been provided by SELLER to BUYER as of the date hereof). A final listing of prepaid expenses will be provided by SELLER to BUYER, subject to BUYER’s approval, at Closing. Any and all prepaid expenses incurred by SELLER with respect to the Offices subsequent to the date hereof shall be subject to the prior written consent of BUYER;

(g)

Office Loans. All right, title and interest in and to all those loans and/or letters of credit set forth in a confidential listing provided by SELLER to BUYER concurrently with the signing of this Agreement, together with such other loans and/or letters of credit that BUYER and SELLER may mutually agree upon prior to the Closing, less any loans that may be removed from the Office Loans by the mutual agreement of BUYER and SELLER, free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances whatsoever (other than interests of third parties that are subordinate to those of SELLER), and any loans not over thirty (30) days outstanding that are automatically created as the result of an overdraft of a Deposit Account pursuant to an overdraft protection program offered by SELLER (“Overdraft Loans”), except for those Overdraft Loans which are charged to credit card accounts not transferred to the BUYER hereunder. Such loans shall be referred to herein individually and collectively as the

“Office Loans.” BUYER shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to include in the Office Loans any loans originated by the Offices in the markets served by such Offices between the date of this Agreement and the Closing. The final confidential listing of Office Loans will be provided by SELLER to BUYER as of the Closing;

(h)

Records of the Offices. All records and documents related to the Assets transferred or liabilities assumed by BUYER as may exist and are available, whether or not physically maintained at the Offices (in whatever form or medium then maintained by SELLER) including, but not limited to, those relating to (i) the Deposit Accounts and (ii) the promissory notes, files and documents and instruments relating to the Office Loans; and

(i)

Contracts or Agreements. All of SELLER’s right, title and interest in and to the maintenance and service agreements related to the Offices, provided the same are assignable without consent and without cost to BUYER or SELLER, and any other contracts or agreements listed on Schedule D annexed hereto and made a part hereof (the “Assumed Contracts”).

Any other assets of SELLER not included in the foregoing (a) through (i) shall remain the property of SELLER and shall not be sold or transferred to BUYER pursuant to this Agreement.

1.3

Acceptance and Assumption. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on and as of the Closing on the Closing Date, BUYER shall:

(a)

Assets. Receive and accept all of the Assets assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered to BUYER by SELLER pursuant to this Agreement, including those identified in Section 1.2 above;

(b)

Deposit Liabilities. Assume and thereafter discharge, pay in full and perform all of SELLER’s obligations and duties relating to the Deposit Liabilities attributable to the Offices. The term “Deposit Liabilities” means all of SELLER’s obligations, duties and liabilities of every type and character relating to all deposit accounts attributable to the Offices as of

the Closing (a preliminary confidential listing of which has been provided by SELLER to BUYER as of the date of this Agreement) other than (i) KEOGH accounts, (ii) deposit accounts securing any loan of SELLER which is not an Office Loan, for which BUYER assumes no liability, (iii) deposits of SELLER employees who are not Transferred Employees (as defined below), and (iv) deposits of current directors of SELLER and its affiliates. The deposit accounts referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (the “Deposit Accounts”) include, without limitation, passbook, statement savings, checking, Money Market and NOW accounts, certificates of deposit and Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”) for which SELLER has not received, on or before the Closing Date, the written advice from the account holder of such account holder’s objection or failure to accept BUYER as successor. The “obligations, duties and liabilities” referred to in the definition of Deposit Liabilities include, without limitation, the obligation to pay and otherwise process all Deposit Accounts in accordance with applicable law and their respective contractual terms (including the accrual and payment of interest following the Closing), and the duty to supply all applicable reporting forms for periods following the Closing Date including, without limitation, IRS Form 1099 reports relating to the Deposit Accounts to be filed and provided after the Closing Date relating to interest accrued after the Closing Date;

(c)

Liabilities Under Leases/Safe Deposit Business. Assume and thereafter fully and timely perform and discharge, in accordance with their respective terms, all of the liabilities and obligations of SELLER arising after the Closing Date with respect to:

(i)

the Office Lease, the Assumed Contracts, and any safe deposit leases which are sold, assigned or transferred to BUYER by SELLER pursuant to this Agreement;

	(ii)		the safe deposit business of the Offices, including, but not limited to, the maintenance of all necessary facilities for the use of safe deposit boxes by the renters thereof during the periods for which such persons have paid rent therefor in advance to SELLER, subject to the provisions of the applicable leases or other agreements relating to such boxes. At the Closing, SELLER shall pay to BUYER, in the manner specified in Section 6.4 hereof, the amount of rental payment previously received by SELLER for each such safe deposit box attributable to and prorated to reflect the period from and after the Closing Date; and

	(iii)		all safekeeping items and agreements listed on Schedule E to this Agreement and delivered to BUYER by SELLER pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, all applicable safekeeping agreements, memoranda, or receipts so delivered to BUYER by SELLER hereunder; and

(d)

Other Liabilities. Fully and timely perform and discharge, as the same may be or become due, any Assumed Contracts, the Office Lease, and all additional liabilities and obligations of SELLER as of the date of this Agreement, which are reflected on the books of SELLER as being attributable to an Office as of the close of business on the Closing Date and which are set forth in a listing provided by SELLER at Closing and approved by BUYER. No additional liabilities and obligations of SELLER shall be incurred subsequent to the date of this Agreement without the prior written consent of BUYER.

1.4

Payment of Funds. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing:

(a)

Consideration. SELLER shall pay and transfer to BUYER, in the manner specified in Section 6.4 hereof, funds equal to the aggregate balance of all Deposit Accounts (including interest posted or accrued to such accounts as of the close of business on the Closing Date) as of the close of business on the Closing Date, plus $166,000, less an amount equal to the sum of:

	(i)		the amount of cash on hand at the Offices transferred to BUYER as of the close of business on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.2(e); and

	(ii)		the book value of the Owned Real Estate as reflected on SELLER’s books as of the last day of the month ending immediately prior to the month in which the Closing Date occurs; and

	(iii)		the net aggregate book value as reflected on SELLER’s books of the Fixed Assets, as of the last day of the month ending immediately prior to the month in which the Closing Date occurs; and

	(iv)		a premium (the “Premium”) of five percent (5%) of the aggregate “Eligible Deposits” (as hereinafter defined) of the Offices as of the close of business on the Closing Date between $70 million and $77 million; provided, however, that if the aggregate Eligible Deposits are less than $70 million, the Premium shall be $3.5 million, and if the aggregate Eligible Deposits exceed $77 million, the Premium shall be $3.85 million. If Eligible Deposits exceed the sum of $77 million as of the Closing, BUYER and SELLER may, by mutual consent, except certain Deposits from the Acquisition. The term “Eligible Deposits” shall mean the average aggregate principal balance of all Deposit Liabilities of the Offices for a period commencing ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date and ending at the close of business on the Closing Date, and

	(v)		the amount of prepaid expenses described in Section 1.2(f) of this Agreement, prorated as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date; and

	(vi)		the outstanding principal balance of the Office Loans (including Office Loans added between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date upon the consent of BUYER and any loans substituted or added pursuant to this section, less any loans

removed upon the mutual agreement of BUYER and SELLER), together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any and all late fees relating thereto computed as of the close of business on the Closing Date, less any loan loss reserves for such Office Loans set forth on the confidential listing provided pursuant to Section 1.2(g), which shall be updated as of the Closing Date. The aggregate principal balance of the Office Loans, prior to any reductions for agreed upon loan loss reserves, shall total $8.5 million. In the event the aggregate principal balance of the Office Loans as required in the preceding sentence does not total $8.5 million, SELLER shall have the right to add or substitute other loans to increase the principal amount to the required level, which loans shall be subject to the reasonable approval of BUYER.

The sum of the foregoing items (i) through (vi) above is the “Acquisition Consideration.” In the event that the Acquisition Consideration exceeds the aggregate amount to be transferred by SELLER pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 1.4(a), the full amount of such excess shall constitute an amount due from BUYER to SELLER, and shall be paid to SELLER at the Closing in the manner specified in Section 6.4 hereof. The parties shall execute a Preliminary Settlement Statement at the Closing and a Final Settlement Statement post-Closing in accordance with section 6.4 hereof, in a form mutually agreed upon by the parties.

(b)

Reimbursement and Proration of Certain Expenses. All other expenses (i) due and payable at times after the Closing Date for periods prior to the close of business on the Closing Date or (ii) paid prior to the close of business on the Closing Date for periods following the Closing Date, including the prepaid expenses described in Section 1.2(f) hereof and deferred expenses described in Section 1.3(d) hereof, including, without limitation, real estate taxes and assessments which are a lien but not yet due and payable, utility payments, payments due on leases assigned, payments due on assigned service and maintenance contracts and similar

			expenses relating to the Offices, shall be prorated between SELLER and BUYER as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that all real estate taxes and assessments, to the extent payable by SELLER and/or BUYER, shall be prorated at the Closing on the basis of the most recently certified real estate taxes and assessments, and all utility payments and lease payments shall be prorated on the basis of the best information available at Closing. Any security deposits relating to the Leased Real Estate shall be credited to the SELLER at Closing. With respect to premiums paid to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) for deposit insurance for the Deposit Liabilities, the proration of FDIC insurance premiums will be based on the amount of the Deposit Liabilities as of the close of business on the Closing Date and the number of days during any period for which SELLER has prepaid premiums to the FDIC but during which BUYER has held or will hold the Deposit Liabilities. Any credits to the SELLER at Closing will be debited from the amount to be paid in the first paragraph of Section 1.4(a), and any credits to BUYER shall be added to such amount. For prorations, if any, which cannot be reasonably calculated as of the Closing, a post-closing adjustment shall be made in the manner specified in Section 6.4 hereof.
	(c)		Expenses Relating to Real Property and other Assets. The transfer (or conveyance) fees relating to the Owned Real Estate and the costs, fees and expenses of all title commitments, title guaranties and title examinations relating to the procurement of the Title Commitments related to the Owned Real Estate and the Leased Real Estate referred to in Sections 2.1(b) and 5.2(f) herein, shall be allocated to, and shall be borne, solely and exclusively by SELLER. The costs, fees and expenses relating to the premiums, including any endorsements for extended coverage, for all title insurance policies (net of the costs of all title commitments, guaranties and examinations), recording costs and other similar costs, fees and expenses, if any, relating to the sale and transfer of the Owned Real Estate or the

			transfer of SELLER’s interest in the Leased Real Estate including, but not limited to, any conveyance fees, taxes, recording costs and other similar fees and expenses relating to the sale and transfer of any other Assets, shall be allocated to, and shall likewise be borne, solely and exclusively, by SELLER. To the extent BUYER requests SELLER or its attorneys to seek certain title endorsements or removal of exceptions noted on the title commitments, BUYER shall reimburse SELLER at Closing for its attorney fees related thereto. In no event shall SELLER be required to undertake any negotiations with the title insurance companies for any matters that relate to the scope of title insurance coverage or the Permitted Exceptions. As provided in Section 6.4, BUYER shall be credited at the Closing for all the costs, fees and expenses allocated to SELLER pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) but paid by BUYER, and BUYER shall be credited at the Closing for all of the costs, fees and expenses allocated to BUYER pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) but paid by SELLER. If this transaction does not close by virtue of a breach of this Agreement, the breaching party shall be responsible for and shall, as appropriate, reimburse the other party for its expenses set forth in this Section 1.4(c). If this transaction does not close for any other reason, each party shall reimburse the other party upon termination of this Agreement for such party’s share of expenses pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) so that each party shall pay the same share of expenses as it would have paid at Closing.
	(d)		Insurance Premium Refunds. With respect to the Insured Office Loans as defined in Section 7.2(j) herein, SELLER shall provide a credit to BUYER in a sum equal to the unearned premiums relating to the Insured Office Loans to compensate BUYER, in advance, for estimated refunds otherwise payable to SELLER in conjunction with future payoffs of such Insured Office Loans prior to maturity (the “Premium Settlement Payment” herein). Such Premium Settlement Payment shall be calculated as of the Closing Date and shall appear as a credit to BUYER in the Final Settlement Statement referenced in Section 6.4 herein.

CONDUCT OF THE PARTIES PRIOR TO CLOSING.

2.1

Covenants of SELLER. SELLER hereby covenants to BUYER that, from the date hereof until the Closing:

	(a)		Operation of the Offices. SELLER shall continue to operate the Offices in a manner substantially equivalent to that employed immediately prior to the date of this Agreement.

			Notwithstanding the foregoing, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, except as may be required to obtain the required authorizations referred to in Section 2.3 of this Agreement and except as may be otherwise required by a regulatory authority, SELLER shall not, without the prior consent of BUYER:

	(i)		permit any Office to engage or participate in any transaction or incur or sustain any obligation except in the ordinary course of business;

	(ii)		permit any Office to transfer to SELLER’s other operations any Assets, except for (A) supplies, if any, which have unique function in the business of SELLER and its affiliates and ordinarily would not be useful to BUYER, (B) cash and other normal intrabank transfers which may be transferred in the ordinary course of business in accordance with normal banking practices, (C) any current loans not included as Office Loans, and (D) any loans originated by the Offices in the markets served by them after the date hereof and prior to the Closing that are not included as Office Loans;

	(iii)		permit the Offices to transfer to SELLER’s other operations any Deposit Liabilities other than (A) Deposits Liabilities securing loans made by SELLER which are not Office Loans, (B) Deposit Liabilities owned in whole or in part by employees of SELLER who are not Transferred Employees, or (C) Deposit Liabilities of

			current directors of SELLER or its affiliates, except in the ordinary course of business at the unsolicited request of depositors, or cause any of SELLER’s other operations to transfer to the Offices any Deposit Liabilities, except in the ordinary course of business at the unsolicited request of depositors; provided, however, that SELLER shall be permitted to make such transfers of any Deposit Liabilities to or from the Offices as are in the normal course of business;

	(iv)		invest in any Fixed Assets on behalf of any Office, except for commitments made on or before the date of this Agreement which are disclosed to BUYER on Schedule C of this Agreement and for replacements of furniture, furnishings and equipment and normal maintenance and refurbishing purchased or made in the ordinary course of business;

	(v)		enter into or amend any continuing contract (other than those related to Deposit Liabilities, safe deposit agreements, and loans which are not included as Office Loans), which cannot be terminated without cause and without payment of any amounts as a penalty, bonus, premium or other compensation for termination;

	(vi)		make any change to its customary policies for setting rates on deposits offered at the Offices.

(b)

Title Commitments for Real Estate. SELLER shall deliver to BUYER, at SELLER’ s expense, with respect to the Owned Real Estate and Leased Real Estate, no later than thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, a commitment or commitments (the “Title Commitments”), having an effective date as near as practicable to the date of delivery of such Title Commitments, from a title insurance company designated by SELLER and reasonably satisfactory to BUYER, to issue to BUYER as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, as applicable, an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) owners (Form B, 1970, Rev 1984) and/or a leasehold title insurance (1975 Form) policy having an effective date as of

the Closing Date, covering the Owned Real Estate and the Leased Real Estate, in an amount equal to the book value for the Owned Real Estate as reflected on SELLER’s books as of the end of the month immediately preceding the month in which the Closing occurs, and the amount of the leasehold interest, based on the remaining rental payments due under the balance of the remaining term of the lease to be transferred to BUYER pursuant to the Office Lease, subject to the exceptions specified in the Title Commitments. If title to all or part of the Owned Real Estate or Lease Real Estate is unmarketable or is subject to any defect, lien, encumbrance, easement, condition, restriction or encroachment other than the Permitted Exceptions (as defined below), then BUYER shall provide written notice thereof to SELLER. SELLER shall have thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from BUYER, to elect to remedy or remove any such defect, lien, encumbrance, easement, condition, restriction or encroachment but, if SELLER does not, BUYER may elect to attempt to cure or remove such defect or encumbrance or other matter, for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter. If such defect or encumbrance or other matter is not cured after such thirty (30) day period, in addition to any other rights which BUYER may have hereunder, BUYER shall have the right to (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to SELLER, (ii) negotiate, at BUYER’S cost, with the title company for certain endorsements to the standard insurance coverage to address any such defects or encumbrances, or (iii) waive any objection to such defect or encumbrance or other matter in which event such defect, encumbrance, or other matter shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception. The Owned Real Estate is being sold by SELLER to BUYER hereunder free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of tenants in possession except for the Permitted Exceptions, and the conveyance by limited warranty deed to be delivered by SELLER pursuant hereto shall be subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. SELLER also shall execute and deliver to BUYER at the time of Closing such affidavits and other instruments, if

any, as the title insurance company issuing the Title Commitments may reasonably require to delete any inapplicable standard exceptions appearing as “Schedule B” items in a standard ALTA owners or leasehold owners title insurance policy, other than those which may only be deleted by a survey. SELLER also shall execute and deliver a so-called “FIRPTA” affidavit at Closing.

	(c)		Required Authorizations. SELLER shall obtain and procure all necessary internal corporate and other approvals and authorizations, if any, required by SELLER to enable it to fully perform all obligations imposed on it hereunder which must be performed by it at or prior to the Closing.

	(d)		Creation of Liens and Encumbrances. With respect to the Owned Real Estate, SELLER shall not create or allow any liens, imperfections in title, charges, easements, restrictions or encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions.

	(e)		Condemnation. If prior to Closing all or any portion of the Owned Real Estate or Leased Real Estate is taken or is made subject to eminent domain or other governmental acquisition proceedings, then SELLER shall promptly notify BUYER thereof, and BUYER may either complete the Closing and receive the proceeds paid or payable on account of such acquisition proceedings (which, if received prior to Closing, shall be paid by SELLER to BUYER at Closing), or terminate this Agreement. If BUYER terminates this Agreement, both parties shall thereupon be relieved from all further obligations hereunder, except as may otherwise be expressly provided.

	(f)		Insurance Proceeds and Casualty Payments. SELLER shall maintain adequate insurance on all the Owned Real Estate, Leased Real Estate and Fixed Assets. In the event of any damage or destruction affecting such Assets between the date hereof and the time of the Closing, SELLER shall deliver to BUYER at the Closing any such insurance proceeds received by SELLER as a result thereof (adding into such amount the amount of any

			deductible), to the extent of the applicable amount in Section 1.4(a)(ii) with respect to Owned Real Estate and to the extent of the amount set forth in Section 1.4(a)(iii) with respect to the Fixed Assets, as the case may be, unless SELLER has repaired or replaced the damaged or destroyed property.
	(g)		IRAs. Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expected Closing Date, SELLER shall, at SELLER’s expense, mail notice of SELLER’s resignation as Custodian and the appointment of BUYER as the Successor Custodian, effective upon Closing, of each IRA maintained at the Offices. The notice shall include such other information that is mutually agreed upon by SELLER and BUYER.

	(h)		Assignment of Office Lease. SELLER shall obtain (i) any written consent of any such landlord as shall be necessary for the effective assignment of the Office Lease and the assumption thereof by BUYER as of the Closing Date, and (ii) any consent necessary to assign or transfer to BUYER, or substitute BUYER as landlord under, the lease by which a third-party leases space in the Owned Real Estate, each in form and content reasonably satisfactory to BUYER, it being understood that, in the case of the foregoing (i) and (ii), that the assignment of said leases in their current form or without material changes shall be satisfactory to BUYER. In the event any such necessary assignment is not obtained, or other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to BUYER are not made, by the Closing, BUYER may, upon written notice to SELLER, terminate this Agreement. The assignment and assumption by BUYER of the Office Lease shall be in a form mutually agreed upon by the parties and reasonably acceptable to the Lessor under such Office Lease.

	(i)		SELLER shall permit representatives of BUYER to attend such meetings of SELLER with regard to the Offices and business of the Offices as BUYER may reasonably request, to review such books and records of

			SELLER as may reasonably be relevant to the transactions contemplated hereby, and to consult with SELLER with regard to any Office Loans.

	(j)		SELLER shall make available to BUYER the opportunity to include in the Office Loans, at BUYER’s sole discretion, any new loans originated at the Offices in the markets served by them between the date hereof and the Closing Date.

	(k)		SELLER shall provide to BUYER copies of any blueprints and schematic drawings it may have in its possession for the Owned Real Estate.

2.2

Covenants of BUYER. BUYER hereby covenants to SELLER that, from the date hereof until the Closing:

(a)

Regulatory Applications. BUYER shall prepare and submit for filing, at no expense to SELLER, any and all applications, filings, and registrations with, and notifications to, all federal and state authorities required on the part of BUYER or any affiliate of BUYER for the Acquisition to be consummated on the terms set forth herein and for BUYER to operate the Offices following the Closing. BUYER shall provide SELLER with a draft copy of each application, filing, registration, and notification for SELLER’s approval prior to filing, which approval by SELLER will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

From the date of this Agreement and for four (4) years following the Closing Date, SELLER will not directly solicit (a) deposit accounts from customers whose Deposit Liabilities and/or Office Loans are assumed or acquired by BUYER pursuant to this Agreement, (b) refinancing of Office Loans from borrowers whose Office Loans are being acquired by BUYER hereunder or (c) any persons located within a ten (10) mile radius of any Office to provide to such persons any retail, commercial,

			fiduciary, or wealth management services; provided, however, that the foregoing (a), (b) and (c) shall not apply to (i) existing customers of SELLER offices other than the Offices or persons who are employees or current directors of SELLER, Ohio Legacy Corp or any other affiliate of SELLER (ii) any general advertisement or solicitation by SELLER regarding its banking products or other services, or (iii) any person who becomes a customer of SELLER or seeks the services provided by SELLER on such person’s own initiative. The covenants and obligations of SELLER hereunder shall survive the Closing.

	8.7		Further Assurances. From and after the date hereof, each party hereto agrees to execute and deliver such instruments and to take such other actions as the other party hereto may reasonably request in order to carry out and implement this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, SELLER agrees to execute and deliver such deeds, bills of sale, acknowledgments, and other instruments of conveyance and transfer as, in the reasonable judgment of BUYER, shall be necessary and appropriate to vest in BUYER the legal and equitable title to the Assets of SELLER being conveyed to BUYER hereunder. Further, BUYER, at its sole cost and expense, shall prepare and shall file, or shall cause to be prepared and filed, with any appropriate third parties, any and all documents and notices which are necessary and proper to transfer to BUYER any security interests and other rights of SELLER in and to collateral securing the Office Loans. SELLER shall cooperate with BUYER in executing any necessary and proper documents and notices as may be appropriate in furtherance of the foregoing covenant and consistent with the terms of this Agreement provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall relieve BUYER of its obligations as set forth herein. The covenants and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive the Closing.

	8.8		Operation of the Offices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, after the Closing Date neither SELLER, nor its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be obligated to provide for any managerial, financial, business, or other services to the Offices, including without limitation any personnel, employee benefit, data processing, accounting, risk management, or other services or assistance that may have been provided to the Offices prior to the close of

			business on the Closing Date, and BUYER shall take such action as may, in its judgment, be necessary or advisable to provide for the ongoing operation and management of, and the provision of services and assistance to, the Offices after the Closing Date. Upon the Closing, BUYER shall change the legal name of the Offices and, except for any documents or materials in possession of the customers of the Offices (including but not limited to deposit tickets and checks), shall not use and shall cause the Offices to cease using any signs, stationery, advertising, documents, or printed or written materials that refer to the Offices by any name that includes the words “Premier Bank and Trust,” “Premier,” “Ohio Legacy,” the name of any affiliate of SELLER or any derivations thereof. Preceding the Closing, SELLER shall cooperate with any reasonable requests of BUYER directed to obtaining specifications for the procurement of new signs of BUYER’s choosing for installation by BUYER of new signs immediately following the close of business on the Closing Date; provided, however, that BUYER’s receipt of all sign specifications shall be obtained by BUYER in a manner that does not significantly interfere with the normal business activities and operations of the Offices and shall be at the sole and exclusive expense of BUYER. SELLER Will retain its signs located at the Offices. BUYER shall remove the “skins” of SELLER’s signs with SELLER’s name and logo and shall hold them pending retrieval by SELLER. It is understood by the parties hereto that, with the exception of the “skins,” all mounting facilities, electronics and components for the signs shall be considered as Fixed Assets for purposes of this Agreement. The covenants and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive the Closing.

	8.9		Information After Closing. For a period of seven (7) years following the Closing, upon written request of SELLER to BUYER or BUYER to SELLER, as the case may be, such requested party shall provide the requesting party with reasonable access to, or copies of, information and records relating to the Offices which are then in the possession or control of the requested party reasonably necessary to permit the requesting party or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to comply with or contest any applicable legal, tax, banking, accounting, or regulatory policies or requirements, or any legal or regulatory proceeding

			thereunder or requests related to customer relationships at the Offices prior to Closing. In the event of any such requests, the requesting party shall reimburse the requested party for the reasonable costs of the requested party related to such request. The covenants and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive the Closing.

	8.10		Individual Retirement Accounts. All IRAs related to the Offices that shall not have been transferred to BUYER by the close of business on the thirtieth (30^th) day following the Closing may be retained by SELLER at its option, and for any such IRAs retained, SELLER shall advise the account holders that it has withdrawn its resignation as custodian or transfer the amount in such IRAs to the account holders.

	8.11		Covenant Not to Compete. From and after the Closing and for a period of four (4) years following the Closing Date, SELLER and its affiliates shall not, and shall not enter into any agreement to, (i) provide to any persons located within a ten (10) mile radius of any Office retail, commercial, fiduciary, or wealth management services, or (ii) own, operate or use any building, office or other facility or premises located within a ten (10) mile radius of any Office for the purpose of operating a branch or loan production office; provided, however, that the foregoing (i) shall not apply to (A) existing customers of SELLER offices other than the Offices or persons who are employees or current directors of SELLER, Ohio Legacy Corp or any other affiliate of SELLER, (B) any general advertisement or solicitation by SELLER regarding its banking products or other services, or (C) any person who becomes a customer of SELLER or seeks the services provided by SELLER on such person’s own initiative. The covenants and obligations of SELLER hereunder shall survive the Closing.

	8.12		Non-solicitation of Employees. BUYER and SELLER agree that for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of this Agreement, or for a period of twenty-four (24) months from such date as this Agreement may be terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof, neither BUYER nor SELLER nor any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates will:

	(a)		Directly or indirectly solicit for employment or employ any persons who are employees of the other party or its subsidiaries or affiliates on the date hereof (except in the case of BUYER, the employment of any Transferred Employees after the Closing); or

	(b)		directly or indirectly solicit for employment or employ any other persons who are employees of the other party or its subsidiaries or affiliates on the date hereof and with whom the party has had contact or who became known to the party solely in conjunction with any phase of the Acquisition (except in the case of BUYER, the employment of any Transferred Employees after the Closing) whether prior to execution of this Agreement or subsequent thereto. As used solely in this Section 8.12(b), the term “solicit” shall not be deemed to include general advertisements or general solicitations that are not targeted or directed specifically to individuals who are employees of the other party or its subsidiaries or affiliates. Subject to the prohibitions contained in Section 8.12(a), nothing in this Section 8.12(b) shall prohibit the parties or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries from hiring a person covered by this Section 8.12(b) who contacts the hiring party on their own initiative (and not in response to solicitation by the hiring party in violation of this section) or a person covered by this subsection 8.12(b) who is no longer in the employ of the other party or its subsidiaries or affiliates at the time of such solicitation.

The covenants and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive the Closing and any earlier termination of this Agreement.
