The actual date of the Closing is hereinafter referred to as the Closing Date.

4. Section 2.1(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(b) Intentionally Deleted
5. The first paragraph of Section 4.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
4.1 Disclosure Schedule; Disclosure Standard. On August 30, 2006, PSB delivered to Conestoga a disclosure schedule. As of the date hereof, PSB has delivered to Conestoga a supplemental disclosure schedule (as supplemented, 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.
6. The second paragraph of Section 4.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
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
2
effect on PSBs 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 Conestogas 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 PSBs provision for loan losses shall not be considered to cause a Material Adverse Effect solely by reason of the effect such increases have on PSBs 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, 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 PSBs 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 Conestogas 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
3
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.
7. Section 4.6(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
4.6 SEC Documents; Other Reports.
(a) PSB has timely filed or furnished all required reports, schedules, registration statements and other documents with the SEC since December 31, 2003 (the PSB Reports). Except as set forth in Schedule 4.6(a) of the PSB Disclosure Schedule, as of their respective dates of filing with the SEC (or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing prior to the date of the second amendment to this Agreement, as of the date of such subsequent filing), the PSB Reports complied with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such PSB Reports, and none of the PSB Reports when filed contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date of the second amendment to this Agreement, there are no outstanding comments from or unresolved issues raised by the SEC with respect to any of the PSB Reports. None of PSBs Subsidiaries is required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
8. Section 4.7(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
4.7 Financial Statements; Undisclosed Liabilities.
(a) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.7(a) of the PSB Disclosure Schedule, the financial statements of PSB (including any related notes and schedules thereto) included or incorporated by reference in the PSB Reports complied as to form, as of their respective dates of filing with the SEC (or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing prior to the date of the second amendment to this Agreement, as of the date of such subsequent filing), with all applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto (except, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC), have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be disclosed therein), and fairly present the consolidated financial position of PSB and its consolidated Subsidiaries and the consolidated results of operations, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows of such companies as of the dates and for the periods shown, and have been derived from the accounting books and records of PSB and its Subsidiaries.
