The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Neither the Company nor the Bank has received any notice or other information indicating that the Bank is not an “insured depository institution” as defined in 12 U.S.C.

All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests in each Subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Company or the Bank, directly or through Subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or claim; none of the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, any Subsidiary were issued in violation of the preemptive or similar rights of any security holder of such Subsidiary or any other entity.
(b) Capital Stock and Related Matters. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company authorize the Company to issue 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of serial preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of the date of this Agreement, there are 2,493,975 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of the Company’s preferred stock issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding capital stock of the Company has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable.

Each of the Company, the Bank and the Bank’s Subsidiaries possess such permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations (collectively, “Governmental Licenses”) issued by the appropriate Governmental Agencies necessary to conduct the business now operated by it except where the failure to possess such Governmental Licenses would not, singularly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; the Company and each Subsidiary of Company is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; all of the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses.
5.4 Financial Condition.
5.4.1 Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Company or the Bank, as applicable, included in the Company’s Reports (including the related notes, where applicable) (the “Financial Statements”), which have been provided to the Purchaser (i) have been prepared from, and are in accordance with, the books and records of the Company or the Bank, as applicable; (ii) fairly present in all material respects the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and financial condition of the Company or the Bank, as applicable, and, where applicable, its consolidated Subsidiaries, for the respective fiscal periods or as of the respective dates therein set forth (subject in the case of unaudited statements to recurring year-end audit adjustments normal in nature and amount), as applicable; (iii) complied as to form, as of their respective dates of filing in all material respects with applicable accounting and banking requirements as applicable, with respect thereto; and (iv) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except, in each case, as required by any regulatory accounting practices. The books and records of the Company and the Bank have been, and are being, maintained in all material respects in accordance with GAAP and any other applicable legal and accounting requirements. Neither the Company nor the Bank has any material liability of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due), except for those liabilities that are reflected or reserved against on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the Bank contained in the Company’s Reports for the most recently completed quarterly or annual fiscal period, as applicable, and for liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
5.4.2 Controls. The Company, the Bank and the Bank’s Subsidiaries have established and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets (on a consolidated basis), provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that Company’s and Bank’s receipts and expenditures and receipts and expenditures of each of the Company’s other Subsidiaries are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company management and Board of Directors, and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets of the Company on a consolidated basis that could have a material effect on the Financial Statements. The Company believes such internal control over financial reporting is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of the Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Since the conclusion of the Company’s last completed fiscal year, to the Company’s knowledge there has not been and there currently is not (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect its ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the Company’s or Bank’s internal control over financial reporting and the internal control over financial reporting of each other applicable Subsidiary of the Company. The Company (A) has implemented and maintains (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act disclosure controls and procedures it believes are reasonably designed and maintained to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company by others within the Company and (B) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to the Company’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and of which the Company has knowledge. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purposes for which they were established.
5.4.3 Absence of Default. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements, no event has occurred which either of itself or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would give any creditor of the Company or Bank the right to accelerate the maturity of any material Indebtedness of the Company or Bank. Neither the Company nor Bank is in default under any other Lease, agreement or instrument, or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree, determination or award, non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.
5.4.4 Solvency. After giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company has capital sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and is solvent and able to pay its debts as they mature. No transfer of property is being made and no indebtedness is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Company or any Subsidiary of Company.
5.4.5 Ownership of Property. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title as to all real property owned by it and good title to all assets and properties owned by the Company and such Subsidiary in the conduct of its businesses, whether such assets and properties are real or personal, tangible or intangible, including assets and property reflected in the most recent balance sheet contained in the Company’s Reports or acquired subsequent thereto (except to the extent that such assets and properties have been disposed of in the ordinary course of business, since the date of such balance sheet), subject to no encumbrances, liens, mortgages, security interests or pledges, except (i) those items which secure liabilities for public or statutory obligations or any discount with, borrowing from or other obligations to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, inter-bank credit facilities, reverse repurchase agreements or any transaction by the Bank acting in a fiduciary capacity, (ii) statutory liens for amounts not yet delinquent or which are being contested in good faith and (iii) such as do not, singly or in the aggregate, materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries, as lessee, has the right under valid and existing Leases of real and personal properties that are material to the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, in the conduct of its business to occupy or use all such properties as are presently occupied and used by it. Such existing Leases and commitments to lease constitute or will constitute operating leases for both tax and financial accounting purposes and the lease expense and minimum rental commitments with respect to such Leases and lease commitments are as disclosed in all material respects in the Company’s Reports.
5.4.6 No Material Adverse Change. Except as disclosed in the Company’s Reports and as previously disclosed to the Purchaser, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Company’s Reports, there has been no development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Each of the Company, the Bank and each of their Subsidiaries (x) has complied in all material respects with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government, or any Governmental Agency, and their own privacy policies and written commitments to their respective customers, consumers and employees, concerning data protection and the privacy and security of personal data and the nonpublic personal information of their respective customers, consumers and employees, , and (y) at no time during the two (2) years prior to the date hereof has received any notice asserting any such violations.

7.4 Purchase for Investment. It is purchasing the Shares for its own account and not with a view to distribution and with no present intention of reselling, distributing or otherwise disposing of the same.

7.9 Access to Information. It acknowledges that it and its advisors have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company that have been requested of it or its advisors and have been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in order to make an informed and voluntary decision to enter into this Agreement.

It is not purchasing the Shares as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting. It further acknowledges and agrees that all certificates or other instruments representing the Shares will bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section 7.12 (or in the case of book-entry shares, instructions to the transfer agent for the Common Stock to the same effect).
