AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
     This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of August 30, 2006 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among Conestoga Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Conestoga”), Conestoga Bank, a Pennsylvania bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Conestoga (“Conestoga Bank”), FP Acquisition Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Conestoga (“Merger Sub”), and PSB Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“PSB”).
BACKGROUND
     The respective Boards of Directors of each of Conestoga, Merger Sub and PSB have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies to consummate the business combination transaction provided for herein in which Merger Sub would merge with and into PSB with PSB being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and such Boards of Directors have approved the Merger (and, in the case of the Board of Directors of PSB, have declared this Agreement advisable and recommended that it be adopted by PSB’s shareholders), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
     The parties contemplate that promptly after the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined): (i) PSB will merge with and into Conestoga, with Conestoga surviving the merger (the “Parent/Sub Merger”) in accordance with the plan of merger attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Parent/Sub Plan of Merger”), and (ii) First Penn Bank (“First Penn Bank”), a Pennsylvania-chartered bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSB, will merge with and into Conestoga Bank, with Conestoga Bank surviving such merger (the “Bank Merger”) in accordance with the plan of merger attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the “Bank Plan of Merger”).
     The parties intend that: (i) the Merger will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a purchase by Conestoga for cash of all of the issued and outstanding stock of PSB, that the Merger will be a “qualified stock purchase” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) section 338(d)(3), and that this Agreement will constitute a plan of merger with respect thereto; (ii) the subsequent Parent/Sub Merger will qualify as either (or as both) a tax-free liquidation of PSB within the meaning of Code section 332 and/or a reorganization within the meaning of Code section 368(a), and that this Agreement, together with the Parent/Sub Plan of Merger, will constitute a plan of liquidation and/or plan of reorganization with respect thereto; and (iii) the Bank Merger, will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Code section 368(a), and that this Agreement, together with the Bank Plan of Merger, will constitute a plan of reorganization with respect thereto.
     At or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each director and each executive officer of PSB has executed a letter agreement dated as of August 30, 2006, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3.
     At or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Messrs. Vincent J. Fumo and Anthony DiSandro, both directors and officers of PSB, have each executed an agreement and release dated as of August 30, 2006, in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits 4A and 4B, respectively.

     Conestoga, Merger Sub and PSB desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and also to prescribe various conditions to the transactions contemplated hereby.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties, and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
     1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “PABCL”), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall merge with and into PSB. PSB shall be the surviving corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger, and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall terminate.
     1.2 Effective Time. Merger Sub and PSB shall prepare the articles of merger for the Merger (the “Articles of Merger”), which they shall file with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). The term “Effective Time” shall mean the time when the Merger becomes effective, which shall be upon the filing of the Articles of Merger or at such later time as the parties may agree and as is set forth in the Articles of Merger.
     1.3 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the PABCL.
     1.4 Closing of the Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable on such date, time and place as shall be agreed to by the parties after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable law) of the conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof, other than conditions which by their terms are to be satisfied at Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver of such conditions. Notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to Closing (other than conditions which by their terms are to be satisfied at Closing), PSB shall not be required to close the Merger until the earlier of the sale or participation of all the Loans (as hereinafter defined) listed on Exhibit 5 or December 31, 2006. The actual date of the Closing is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”.
     1.5 Articles of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so as to read in their entirety in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 6 and shall continue as the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

3


 

     1.6 Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so as to read in their entirety in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 7 and shall continue as the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.
     1.7 Board of Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the articles of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed (as the case may be) and qualified.
     1.8 Change to Structure of Merger. The parties may at any time change the method of effecting the business combination contemplated by this Agreement if and to the extent requested by any party and consented to by the other parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that no such change shall: (i) alter or change the amount or kind of Merger Consideration (as hereinafter defined), (ii) adversely affect the tax treatment or consequences of the business combination to any party to this Agreement or to PSB’s shareholders as a result of receiving the Merger Consideration, or (iii) materially impede or delay completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
     1.9 Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of PSB shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange, subdivision or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration and the Option Consideration (as hereinafter defined) shall be appropriately adjusted. In addition, the Merger Consideration and the Option Consideration have been calculated based on the representations and warranties made by PSB in Section 4.3. Without limiting the effect of the failure of the representations and warranties made by PSB in Section 4.3 to be true and correct, in the event that, at the Effective Time, the actual number of shares of PSB Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) outstanding and/or the actual number of shares of PSB Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Options (as hereinafter defined) is more than as described in Section 4.3 (except as may result from the exercise of any outstanding Options described in Section 4.3), the Merger Consideration and the Option Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted downward.
     1.10 Parent/Sub Merger; Bank Merger. Conestoga and PSB shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause PSB to merge with and into Conestoga, with Conestoga surviving such merger, and First Penn Bank to merge with and into Conestoga Bank, with Conestoga Bank surviving such merger, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Conestoga shall cause Conestoga Bank, and PSB shall cause First Penn Bank, to execute and deliver the Bank Plan of Merger.

ARTICLE II
CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES
     2.1 Conversion of PSB Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger:
          (a) Each share of common stock, no par value per share, of PSB (“PSB Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled as provided in Section 2.1(d)), shall, by virtue of the Merger, be converted into the right to receive $17.00 in cash, less the Per Share Price Adjustment, if any (as hereinafter defined) (the “Merger Consideration”), payable to the holder thereof in accordance with Article III hereof, less any required withholding of Taxes (as hereinafter defined).
          (b) The dollar amount of cash that each share of PSB Common Stock shall be converted into pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall be reduced by the sum of the following quotients (the “Per Share Price Adjustment”):
               (i) with respect to each Loan identified on Exhibit 5 that is sold or in which a participation interest is sold (regardless of the actual percentage participation interest of such Loan that is sold):
          (A) the sum of (1) the percentage of net exposure on the Loan retained by PSB or its Subsidiaries after the sale of the Loan or a participation interest therein times the after tax discount associated with that Loan on Exhibit 5, plus (2) 0.6375 times the realized net loss incurred in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on the disposal of the Loan, divided by;
          (B) 6,048,960, plus:
               (ii) with respect to each Loan identified on Exhibit 5 that is not sold or in which a participation interest is not sold prior to closing,
          (C) the after-tax discount set forth opposite such Loan on Exhibit 5, divided by:
          (D) 6,048,960.
   If any Loan identified on Exhibit 5 is sold or a participation interest in such a Loan is sold as part of a pool with other Loans identified on Exhibit 5, then for purposes of clause (i), the adjustment, if any, shall be determined on an aggregate basis. PSB shall not, and shall not allow First Penn Bank to, sell any Loan identified on Exhibit 5 or a participation interest in any such Loan as part of a pool containing any Loans or other assets other than Loans identified on Exhibit 5 or participations in such Loans without Conestoga’s written consent. The sale of any Loan identified on Exhibit 5 or the sale of any participation interest in any such Loan shall be on a non-recourse basis (except for liability, if any, retained by First Penn Bank solely in its capacity as agent bank in exchange for a customary servicing fee) and shall not obligate PSB or

5


 

First Penn Bank to pay to the purchaser a rate of interest different than the rate of interest paid by the borrower under the Loan identified on Exhibit 5.
          (c) All shares of PSB Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(d)) shall cease to be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of PSB Common Stock (a “Certificate”) shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of PSB Common Stock, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon the surrender of such Certificate.
          (d) Each share of PSB Common Stock owned directly by Conestoga, any Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) of Conestoga, PSB, or any Subsidiary of PSB (other than shares held in trust accounts, managed accounts, custodial or nominee accounts and the like for the benefit of customers or shares held as security for a debt previously contracted) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger, cease to be outstanding and shall be canceled and no Merger Consideration or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
          (e) Each share of common stock, no par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger, be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, no par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
     2.2 Treatment of PSB Stock Options and Restricted Shares.
          (a) As of the Effective Time, each option to purchase PSB Common Stock (each, an “Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled, and, in exchange for the cancellation of such Option, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive a payment in cash in accordance with Article III hereof, less any required withholding of Taxes, in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of: (i) the Merger Consideration, over (ii) the exercise price or other amount that would have to be paid in order to receive the PSB Common Stock that is subject to such Option (the “Option Consideration”). In connection therewith, PSB shall provide written notice to each holder of a then outstanding Option (whether or not such Option is then vested or exercisable), that: (A) such Option shall be, as at the date of such notice, exercisable in full, (B) such Option shall terminate at the Effective Time, and (C) if such Option is not exercised or otherwise terminated on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Effective Time, such Option shall be treated as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. From and after the Effective Time, other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.2(a), the holders of Options shall cease to have any rights in respect to such Options other than to receive payment of the Option Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Business Day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or other day on which banking organizations in the City of Philadelphia are required or authorized by law to be closed.
          (b) Each share of PSB Common Stock granted subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions (each, a “Restricted Share”)pursuant to any PSB Stock Plan (as hereinafter defined) which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest and become free of such restrictions as of the Effective Time and, at the Effective Time, the holder thereof shall

6


 

be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to each such Restricted Share in accordance with Section 2.1.
          (c) Prior to the Effective Time, PSB shall take such actions as are necessary and/or desirable, if any, to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.2.
ARTICLE III
EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES FOR MERGER CONSIDERATION
     3.1 Conestoga to Make Merger Consideration and Option Consideration Available. Conestoga shall appoint an agent, who shall be reasonably acceptable to PSB (the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of exchanging PSB Common Stock for the Merger Consideration and Options for the Option Consideration. Prior to the Effective Time, Conestoga shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of PSB Common Stock and Options, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, an amount of cash sufficient to make all payments pursuant to Article II (such cash amount, the “Exchange Fund”). The cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Conestoga; provided that: (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration or the Option Consideration payable to the holders of shares of PSB Common Stock or Options, respectively, and following any losses Conestoga shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of PSB Common Stock and Options in the amount of any such losses, and (ii) such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than 90 days or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to or at the direction of Conestoga.
     3.2 Exchange of Shares and Options.
          (a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, and in no event more than ten Business Days thereafter, Conestoga shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of PSB Common Stock or Options a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the PSB Common Stock and Options shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates representing the PSB Common Stock or the documents representing the Options to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration therefor and for use in effecting the surrender of the documents representing the Options in exchange for payment of the Option Consideration therefor. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a letter of transmittal, duly executed, and any other documentation reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share formerly represented by such Certificate, and such Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Upon proper surrender of documents representing Options for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a letter of

7


 

transmittal, duly executed, and any other documentation reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Option shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Option Consideration for each share of PSB Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Option, and such documents representing the Options so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of Certificates on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates or for the benefit of holders of Options on the Option Consideration payable upon the surrender of the documents representing such Options. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Article III, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.1 and any document representing Options shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Option Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.2.
          (b) If the payment of the Merger Consideration or the Option Consideration is to be made to a person other than the registered holder of the PSB Common Stock or the Options surrendered in exchange therefor, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate or Option documentation 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 payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any applicable stock transfer or other Taxes or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes have been paid or are not payable.
          (c) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of PSB Common Stock and Options for six months after the Effective Time shall be paid, at the request of Conestoga, to Conestoga. Any holders of PSB Common Stock and Options who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to Conestoga for payment of the Merger Consideration and the Option Consideration as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of Conestoga, Merger Sub, PSB, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of PSB Common Stock or Options for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of PSB Common Stock or Options immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any governmental authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the property of Conestoga free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.
          (d) In the event any Certificate or Option documentation shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate or Option documentation to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Conestoga, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Conestoga may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate or Option documentation, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate or Option documentation the Merger Consideration or the Option Consideration, respectively, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

          (e) Conestoga or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of PSB Common Stock or Options such amounts as Conestoga or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of any other U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by Conestoga or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the PSB Common Stock or Options in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by Conestoga or the Exchange Agent.
ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PSB
     4.1 Disclosure Schedule; Disclosure Standard. As of the date hereof, PSB has delivered to Conestoga a schedule (the “PSB Disclosure Schedule”) setting forth, among other things, certain 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 IV or to one or more covenants contained in Article VI. No representation or warranty of PSB contained in this Article IV shall be deemed untrue or incorrect, and PSB shall not be deemed to have breached a representation or warranty, or to have failed to satisfy a related condition, as a consequence of the existence or absence of any fact, circumstance or event unless such fact, circumstance or event, individually or taken together with all other facts, circumstances or events inconsistent with that or any other representation or warranty, has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (as hereinafter defined). Each section of the PSB Disclosure Schedule qualifies the correspondingly numbered representation or warranty and any other representation or warranty contained in this Article IV if it is reasonably apparent that the disclosure set forth in the PSB Disclosure Schedule is applicable to such other representation or warranty.
          As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the business, operations, results of operations in the current or any future fiscal year, or financial condition of PSB and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or a material adverse effect on PSB’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on or before March 31, 2007, in each case as determined from the perspective of a reasonable person in Conestoga’s position. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the fact that any costs, damages or other liabilities or reasonably expected costs, damages or other liabilities arising from or related to any representation or warranty of PSB being untrue or incorrect may be non-recurring or result in only a one-time charge to earnings shall not affect the assessment of their materiality to the results of operations of PSB and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, that any increase in PSB’s provision for loan losses shall not be considered to cause a Material Adverse Effect solely by reason of the effect such increases have on PSB’s consolidated results of operations for any single fiscal year. In determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, there shall be excluded any effect resulting from or attributable to: (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in laws, rules or regulations or published interpretations thereof by courts or governmental authorities or in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or regulatory accounting requirements, in any such case applicable to banks, savings banks,

9


 

mortgage banks, mortgage brokers, savings associations or their holding companies generally, except for any such change that has a disproportionate impact on PSB and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to the other participants in their industry, (ii) the announcement of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, any action of Conestoga or its Subsidiaries or any action or omission of PSB or its Subsidiaries taken or omitted to be taken, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or with the consent or at the direction of Conestoga, or (iii) changes after the date of this Agreement in general economic conditions or interest rates affecting banks, savings banks, mortgage banks, mortgage brokers, savings associations or their holding companies generally, except for any such change that has a disproportionate impact on PSB and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to the other participants in their industry and provided, further, that a decrease in the trading or market price of the PSB Common Stock shall not be considered, by itself, to constitute a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed to have occurred if one or more suits, actions or proceedings are instituted or threatened subsequent to the date of this Agreement against PSB or its Subsidiaries or their respective directors or officers in their capacities as such and such suits, actions or proceedings result in or could reasonably be expected to result in costs, damages or other liabilities that would be material relative to the business, operations, results of operations in the current or any future fiscal year, or financial condition of, PSB and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or any such suit, action or proceeding could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on PSB’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on or before April 30, 2007; in each case as determined from the perspective of a reasonable person in Conestoga’s position. For purposes of the preceding sentence, (x) if the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from or arising out of any actual or threatened suit, action or proceeding is more than remote (as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 “Accounting of Contingencies”), then, for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the full amount of any costs, damages or other liabilities that PSB or its Subsidiaries (or Conestoga or its Subsidiaries as successors thereto following the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) could reasonably be expected to incur or become subject to as a result of such adverse outcome shall be factored into the assessment of the materiality of such suit, action or proceeding, without any discount based on or related to the probability of such adverse outcome in fact occurring, (y) the fact that any costs, damages or other liabilities or reasonably expected costs, damages or other liabilities may be non-recurring or result in only a one-time charge to earnings shall not affect the assessment of their materiality to the results of operations of PSB and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and (z) the amount of any insurance proceeds or other amounts that PSB, Conestoga or their respective Subsidiaries may be entitled to recover from third parties in connection with any actual or threatened suit, action or proceeding shall not offset the assessment of costs, damages or other liabilities that PSB, Conestoga or their respective Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to incur or become subject to as a result of such suit, action or proceeding, unless, in the reasonable judgment of Conestoga, such recoveries are reasonably probable.
          PSB hereby represents and warrants to Conestoga that, except (i) as set forth in the PSB Disclosure Schedule or (ii) as disclosed in the PSB Reports (as hereinafter defined) filed prior to the date hereof, but only to the extent the exception is reasonably apparent from such disclosure:

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by PSB and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Conestoga and Merger Sub) constitutes a valid and binding obligation of PSB, enforceable against PSB in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity, whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity, and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally.
          (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by PSB nor the consummation by PSB of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by PSB with any of the terms or provisions hereof, will: (i) violate any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of PSB or any of the similar governing documents of any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) assuming that the consents and approvals referred to in Section 4.5 are duly obtained, (x) violate any statute, code, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, decree or injunction applicable to PSB or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, or (y) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of any provision of or the loss of any benefit under, constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, result in the termination of or a right of termination or cancellation under, accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the respective properties or assets of PSB or any of its Subsidiaries under, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which PSB or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or by which they or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound.

          (a) PSB agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the officers, employees and directors of it or its Subsidiaries shall, and it shall not authorize its or its Subsidiaries’ agents and representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries) to, directly or indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving it or any of its Subsidiaries, or any sale of 15% or more of the consolidated assets (including stock of its Subsidiaries) of PSB and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or any issuance or sale of, or tender or exchange offer for, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, its voting securities that, if consummated, would

35


 

result in any person (or the shareholders of such person) beneficially owning securities representing 15% or more of its total voting power (or of the surviving parent entity in such transaction) or any of its Subsidiaries (any such proposal or offer (other than a proposal or offer made by Conestoga) being hereinafter referred as an “Acquisition Proposal”), (ii) have any discussions with or provide any confidential information or data to any person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or engage in any negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal, or knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt by any person to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, asset purchase or share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement related to any Acquisition Proposal or publicly propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4(a), in the event that, prior to the date of the PSB Shareholders Meeting, PSB receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal, PSB may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its and their representatives to: (x) furnish or cause to be furnished confidential information or data, (y) participate in such negotiations or discussions and (z) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal if PSB’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors that, in the case of any action described in clauses (x) or (y) above, such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal (as hereinafter defined) and, in the case of any action described in clause (z) above, such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided that prior to providing (or causing to be provided) any confidential information or data permitted to be provided pursuant to this sentence, PSB shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to PSB than the Confidentiality Agreement (provided that PSB may enter into a confidentiality agreement without a standstill provision, or with standstill or other provisions less favorable to PSB, if it waives or similarly modifies the corresponding provisions in the Confidentiality Agreement).
          (b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at any time prior to the adoption of this Agreement by PSB’s shareholders in accordance with this Agreement, PSB’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, in response to an Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited in material violation of Section 7.4(a), that such proposal is a Superior Proposal, PSB or its Board of Directors may terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that PSB shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this sentence, and any purported termination pursuant to this sentence shall be void and of no force or effect, unless PSB prior to or concurrently with such termination pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) pays to Conestoga the fee payable pursuant to Section 9.2(b); and provided, further, however, that PSB shall not be permitted to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) until after 72 hours following the provision of written notice to Conestoga advising Conestoga that PSB’s Board of Directors intends to cause PSB to accept such Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal, during which time PSB shall negotiate in good faith with Conestoga to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable PSB to proceed with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if and to the extent Conestoga elects to make any such adjustments.

36


 

          (c) For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” with respect to PSB means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal involving, or any purchase or acquisition of, all or substantially all of the voting power of PSB’s capital stock or all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of PSB, for cash and/or readily marketable securities, which Acquisition Proposal the Board of Directors of PSB concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal advisors, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal and the person making the proposal (including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation), is more favorable to the shareholders of PSB from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that the failure to pursue such Acquisition Proposal would or could reasonably be expected to breach its fiduciary obligations under applicable law.
          (d) PSB 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 Conestoga with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. PSB will promptly (within one Business Day) following the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, or of any inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, advise Conestoga of the material terms thereof and will keep Conestoga reasonably apprised of any material developments related thereto.
          (e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent PSB 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 (or any similar communication to shareholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer) or from making any legally required disclosure to shareholders with regard to an Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, a communication by PSB’s board of directors pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f)(3) and any similar communication shall not be deemed to constitute a Change in PSB Recommendation.
     7.5 Legal Conditions to Merger.
          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Conestoga and PSB shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts: (i) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger or the Bank Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other parties to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party which is required to be obtained by PSB or Conestoga or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
          (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Conestoga and PSB agrees to use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, including, in the case of PSB, using reasonable best efforts to (i) lift or

37


 

rescind any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and defend any litigation seeking to enjoin, prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeking material damages, and (ii) to fully enforce its rights under the Letter Agreement.

PSB shall cooperate and shall cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate with Conestoga in implementing such decisions and in taking all actions necessary, subject to requirements of applicable law, to amend, freeze and/or terminate such PSB Plans as Conestoga shall designate.
          (b) PSB Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“PSB ESOP”). As of the Effective Time, the PSB ESOP shall be terminated.

As soon as practicable after the receipt of a favorable determination letter for termination from Internal Revenue Service, the account balances in the PSB ESOP, including any surplus in the suspense account after full payment of the ESOP loan and all PSB ESOP administrative expenses, shall be distributed to participants and beneficiaries in accordance with applicable law and terms of the PSB ESOP. Prior to the Effective Time, contributions to, and payments on the loan of, the PSB ESOP shall be made consistent with past practices on the regularly scheduled payment dates; provided, however, that PSB may make a contribution to, and payment on the loan of, the PSB ESOP with respect to the period from January 1, 2006 through the Effective Time.
          (c) First Penn Bank Severance Plan. Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or December 31, 2006, PSB shall or shall cause First Penn Bank to amend the First Penn Bank Severance Plan retroactive to January 1, 2005, in such manner such that the amounts provided thereunder do not constitute deferred compensation subject to Code section 409A in accordance with proposed Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9) and to exclude Messrs. Fumo and DiSandro. Conestoga shall honor the terms of such Plan as so amended.
          (d) Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans.

In the event that Conestoga directs termination of such a plan, if permitted in accordance with Code section 409A, or that participation and accruals be frozen, such action shall be effected in such a manner that no person receives redundant benefits, loses existing benefits, or results in an acceleration of payment unless such acceleration is permitted under Code section 409A or a participant’s prior election form so provides.

38

          (i) Other PSB Plans. From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time of the Merger, without the prior written consent of Conestoga and except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, no further benefits, grants or awards shall be made available under any other PSB plans to employees or directors, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, Restricted Shares, re-load stock options and performance shares.

          (k) Intention Regarding Future Employment. Conestoga shall use its reasonable best efforts to inform PSB employees, at least thirty (30) days prior to the Effective

39


 

Time, of the likelihood of such employees having continued employment with Conestoga or a Subsidiary of Conestoga following the Effective Time and, where appropriate in Conestoga’s judgment, it will consider for employment opportunities at Conestoga or a Subsidiary of Conestoga each of the employees of PSB and its Subsidiaries.
     7.7 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.
          (a) From and after the Effective Time, in the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether brought by, or in the name of, PSB or any of its Subsidiaries and their respective successors or assigns, in which any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer, employee or agent of PSB or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”) is, or is threatened to be, made a party: (i) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of PSB, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors or was prior to the Effective Time serving at the request of any such party as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, trust or other enterprise, or (ii) based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and all actions taken by an Indemnified Party in connection herewith, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time, Conestoga shall indemnify each such Indemnified Party against any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by law upon receipt of an undertaking from such Indemnified Party to repay such advanced expenses if it is determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit or proceeding, subject to the limitations under Pennsylvania law related to the indemnification of directors, officers, and other representatives of Pennsylvania corporations.
          (b) Conestoga shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 7.7 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law if the Indemnified Party is awarded substantially all of the relief sought by a court of competent jurisdiction.
          (c) Conestoga shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the persons covered by PSB’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy immediately prior to the Effective Time to be covered for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or policies maintained by Conestoga with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, provided that Conestoga’s policy or policies provide at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous to such directors and officers of PSB than the terms and conditions of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of PSB existing on July 31, 2006. Conestoga will not be required to expend, in respect of its obligations to such covered persons as described in the preceding sentence, in any one year an amount in excess of

40


 

200% of the annual premiums currently paid by PSB for the insurance covering the officers and directors of PSB (the “Insurance Amount”), provided, that if such expenditure would exceed the Insurance Amount, Conestoga shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for the Insurance Amount. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, PSB shall purchase, to the extent available, additional directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or transaction insurance in such reasonable amounts and on such reasonable terms as directed by Conestoga.
               (d) The provisions of this Section 7.7 will survive the Merger.
               (e) If Conestoga or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Conestoga shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.7.
          7.8 Advice of Changes. Conestoga and PSB shall promptly advise the other party of any change or event: (i) which, individually or in the aggregate with other such changes or events, would, or would be reasonably likely to, cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein or has or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (in the case of PSB) or a material adverse effect on its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis (in the case of Conestoga), or (ii) which it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause a condition to Closing not to be satisfied or satisfaction thereof to be materially delayed. PSB and Conestoga shall update their respective Disclosure Schedules as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of an event or fact which, if such event or fact had occurred prior to the date of this Agreement, would have been disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule. The delivery of such updated Disclosure Schedule shall not relieve PSB or Conestoga, as the case may be, from any breach or violation of this Agreement and shall not have any effect for the purposes of determining the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Article VIII; provided, however, that any noncompliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.8 shall not constitute failure of a condition set forth in Article VIII or give rise to any right of termination under Article IX unless the underlying change or event shall independently constitute such a failure or give rise to such a right.
          7.9 Bank Merger. From and after the date hereof, Conestoga and PSB shall take all reasonable action necessary to complete the Bank Merger as soon as practicable following the Effective Time.
          7.10 Current Information. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, PSB shall, upon the request of Conestoga, cause one or more of its designated representatives to confer on a monthly or more frequent basis with representatives of Conestoga regarding the financial condition, operations, and business matters of PSB and the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month, PSB will deliver to Conestoga a consolidating and consolidated balance sheet and a consolidating and consolidated statement of operations, without related notes, for such month for PSB.

                    (vi) Personnel Additions and Terminations. Advise and consult with Conestoga regarding the termination or resignation, or threatened termination or resignation, of any member of the executive management of PSB or any PSB Subsidiary; and if requested by Conestoga, advise and consult with Conestoga regarding the hiring or termination of any other employee;
                    (vii) Employment Policies.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, PSB shall not be obligated to sell any Loan identified on Exhibit 5 or sell a participation interest in any such Loan if, as a result of such sale, the price adjustment required by Section 2.1(b)(i) would exceed the price adjustment that would be required by Section 2.1(b)(ii) if the Loan were not sold.
               (b) From and after the date of this Agreement, PSB shall deliver to Conestoga copies of all documents filed with the SEC promptly after the filing thereof.

45


 

above shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement (or in the case of Conestoga, Merger Sub) to perform or observe any of its covenants or agreements set forth herein;
               (c) by either Conestoga or PSB if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before April 30, 2007, unless, in the case of PSB, the failure of the Effective Time to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of PSB to perform or observe any of its covenants or agreements set forth herein;
               (d) by either Conestoga or PSB (provided that the terminating party (or, in the case of Conestoga, Merger Sub) is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein, other than, in the case of Conestoga or Merger Sub, their covenants to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with Section 1.4 of this Agreement and their related covenants to otherwise perform their obligations hereunder associated with consummating such transactions) if the other party (or, in the case of a termination by PSB, Merger Sub) shall have breached: (i) any of the covenants or agreements made by such other party (or, in the case of a termination by PSB, Merger Sub) herein, except, in the case of Conestoga or Merger Sub, their covenants to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with Section 1.4 of this Agreement and their related covenants to otherwise perform their obligations hereunder associated with consummating such transactions, or (ii) any of the representations or warranties made by such other party herein, and in either case, such breach (x) is not cured within 30 days following written notice to the party committing such breach specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach, or which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Closing, and (y) would entitle the non-breaching party not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby under Article VIII hereof;

               (b) PSB shall pay Conestoga, by wire transfer of immediately available funds the sum of $3,000,000 (the “PSB Termination Fee”) if this Agreement is terminated as follows:

                    (iv) if this Agreement is terminated by Conestoga or PSB pursuant to Section 9.1(c) and within six months following such termination PSB or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, a Business Combination, PSB shall pay the PSB Termination Fee to Conestoga on or before the second Business Day after the date of such execution or consummation.

47


 

Subsidiaries as a result of which the holders of the PSB Common Stock prior to such transaction (by virtue of their ownership of such stock) cease to own, in the aggregate, at least 50% of the total voting power of the entity surviving or resulting from such transaction (or, if applicable, the ultimate parent thereof), (ii) any sale in a single transaction or series of transactions of more than 50% of the consolidated assets (including stock of its Subsidiaries) of PSB and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) any issuance or sale of, or tender or exchange offer for, in a single transaction or series of transactions, voting securities of PSB or First Penn Bank resulting in the ownership by any person of more than 50% of the voting power of PSB (unless the shareholders of PSB immediately prior to such transaction would own in the aggregate more than 50% of such acquiring person) or by any person (other than PSB or any of its Affiliates) of more than 50% of the voting power of First Penn Bank.
               (c) Any PSB Termination Fee that becomes payable pursuant to Section 9.2(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Conestoga.
               (d) PSB and Conestoga agree that the agreements contained in Section 9.1(h) and Section 9.2(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that without such agreement neither PSB nor Conestoga would have entered into this Agreement, and that neither the PSB Termination Fee nor the Conestoga Termination Fee constitutes a penalty. If either party fails to pay the amount due under Section 9.1(h) or Section 9.2(b), as the case may be, within the time period specified in such paragraph, such party shall pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by the other party in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit, taken to collect payment of such amounts, together with interest on the amount of any such unpaid amounts at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal, calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid until the date of actual payment.
          9.3 Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the Merger by the shareholders of PSB; provided, however, that after any such approval, no amendment shall be made which by law requires further approval by such shareholders without such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
          9.4 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto may, to the extent legally allowed: (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Any term or provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, and if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, in all cases so long as neither the economic nor legal substance of the transactions contemplated

hereby is affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or its shareholders. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.
          10.9 Publicity. Conestoga and PSB shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to the Merger or this Agreement and neither Conestoga (or any of its Subsidiaries) nor PSB (or any of its Subsidiaries) shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Conestoga or PSB may, without the prior consent of the other party (but after prior consultation, to the extent practicable in the circumstances) issue such press release or make such public statement as may upon the advice of outside counsel be required by law or the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ National Market (in the case of such a release or statement by PSB). Without limiting the reach of the preceding sentence, Conestoga and PSB shall cooperate to develop all public announcement materials and shall make appropriate management available at presentations related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as reasonably requested by the other party.
          10.10 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of any party hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in Section 7.7, this Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
          10.11 Specific Performance; Jurisdiction. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Common Pleas of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any court of the United States located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, PSB’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement by Conestoga or Merger Sub that relates solely to a breach of their covenants to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with Section 1.4 or any related covenants hereunder associated with consummating such transactions, shall be limited to PSB’s exercise of its rights under Section 9.1(h) hereof to the extent available by the terms of that section. In addition, each of the parties hereto: (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Common Pleas of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any court of the United States located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Common Pleas of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any court of the United States

located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and (iv) consents to service being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 10.3. Each of Conestoga, Merger Sub, and PSB hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice, or document by U.S. registered mail to the respective addresses set forth in Section 10.3 shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
          10.12 Guarantee by Conestoga and Conestoga Bank. Conestoga and Conestoga Bank agree to take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to perform all of its respective agreements, covenants, and obligations under this Agreement. Conestoga and Conestoga Bank guarantee to PSB the full and complete performance by Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, of their respective obligations under this Agreement and shall be liable for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the extent provided in Section 9.1(h) of this Agreement. This is a guarantee of payment and performance and not collection. Conestoga and Conestoga Bank hereby waive diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever in connection with the performance of its obligations set forth in this Section 10.12.
