AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 2, 2015, by and between WSFS Financial Corporation (“WSFS”), a Delaware corporation, and Alliance Bancorp, Inc. of Pennsylvania (“Alliance”), a Pennsylvania corporation.

Preamble

The respective Boards of Directors of Alliance and WSFS have approved this Agreement and declared that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are advisable and in the best interests of the Parties to this Agreement and their respective stockholders. Each of the directors of Alliance have delivered to WSFS a non-solicitation agreement and certain of the executive officers of Alliance have delivered to WSFS a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement, each dated as of the date hereof. This Agreement provides for the acquisition of Alliance by WSFS pursuant to the merger of Alliance with and into WSFS with WSFS surviving as the surviving corporation. At the effective time of such Merger, the outstanding shares of the capital stock of Alliance shall be converted, at the election of each holder of capital stock of Alliance (and subject to certain limitations) into the right to receive cash, shares of common stock of WSFS or a combination of cash and shares of common stock of WSFS, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The transactions described in this Agreement are subject to the approvals of the shareholders of Alliance and applicable regulatory authorities and the satisfaction of certain other conditions described in this Agreement. It is the intention of the Parties to this Agreement that the Merger for federal income tax purposes shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 10.1 of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and the mutual warranties, representations, covenants, and agreements set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

WSFS shall be the Surviving Corporation resulting from the Merger, and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of Alliance in accordance with the DGCL. Upon consummation of the Merger the separate corporate existence of Alliance shall terminate. The Merger shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which has been approved and adopted by the respective Boards of Directors of Alliance and WSFS.

Prior to the Effective Time, Alliance shall cause Alliance Bank, and WSFS shall cause WSFS Bank, to execute such articles of combination, required merger certificates, and such other documents and certificates as are necessary to make the Bank Merger effective simultaneously with the Effective Time.

ARTICLE 2

MANNER OF CONVERTING SHARES

2.1

Conversion of Shares.

Subject to the provisions of this Article 2, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of WSFS, Alliance or the stockholders of either of the foregoing, the shares of the consolidated corporations shall be converted as follows:

(a) Each share of capital stock of WSFS issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding from and after the Effective Time.

(b) Each share of Alliance Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by any wholly owned Alliance Subsidiary, by WSFS or any WSFS Subsidiary (in each case other than shares held in any Employee Benefit Plans or related trust accounts or otherwise held in any fiduciary or agency capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted) (collectively, the “Canceled Shares”) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Subject to Section 2.2, each share of Alliance Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding the Canceled Shares) shall be converted, at the election of the holder thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 3 into the right to receive the following consideration (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”), in each case without interest:

(i) for each share of Alliance Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Article 3 (a “Cash Election”), the right to receive in cash from WSFS an amount (the “Cash Consideration”) equal to the Per Share Cash Amount (such shares collectively, the “Cash Election Shares”);

(ii) for each share of Alliance Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive WSFS Common Stock has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Article 3 (a “Stock Election” and such shares collectively, the “Stock Election Shares”) or which is otherwise to receive shares of WSFS Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the right to receive from WSFS 0.28955 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of WSFS Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”); and

(iii) for each share of Alliance Common Stock other than Cash Election Shares and Stock Election Shares (collectively, the “Non-Electing Shares”), the right to receive from WSFS the Stock Consideration.

(d) All shares of Alliance Common Stock, when so converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c), shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate or book-entry share (each a “Certificate”) registered in the transfer books of Alliance that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Alliance Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Alliance Common Stock other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Article 3, including the right, if any, to receive, pursuant to Section 2.6, cash in lieu of fractional shares of WSFS Common Stock into which such shares of Alliance Common Stock have been converted together with the amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 3.2(d).

(e) Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement and subject to Sections 6.2(d) and (e), if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, Alliance should split, combine or otherwise reclassify the shares of Alliance Common Stock, or make a dividend or other distribution in shares of Alliance Common Stock (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Alliance Common Stock), or engage in a reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or exchange or other like change, then (without limiting any other rights of WSFS hereunder), the Merger Consideration (including the Exchange Ratio and the Per Share Cash Amount) shall be equitably and proportionately adjusted, if necessary and without duplication, to reflect fully the effect of any such change.

2.2

Proration.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate amount of Cash Consideration that holders of Alliance Common Stock shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article 2 (the “Cash Value”), shall be $26,576,220.00.

(b) Within seven Business Days after the Election Deadline, the Exchange Agent shall effect the allocation among holders of Alliance Common Stock of rights to receive the Cash Consideration or Stock Consideration in accordance with the Election Forms and as set forth in this Section 2.2.

(c) Maximum Cash Consideration Undersubscribed. If the number of Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Amount is less than the Cash Value, then:

(i) all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive cash;

(ii) Non-Electing Shares shall then be deemed to be Cash Election Shares to the extent necessary to have the total number of Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Amount equal to the Cash Value. If less than all of the Non-Electing Shares need to be treated as Cash Election Shares as provided in this clause (ii), then the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis, as described in Section 2.2(f), a sufficient number of Non-Electing Shares to Cash Election Shares, and all remaining Non-Electing Shares to Stock Election Shares;

(iii) if all of the Non-Electing Shares are converted to Cash Election Shares under Section 2.2(c)(ii) and the total number of Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Amount is less than the Cash Value, then the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis, as described in Section 2.2(f), a sufficient number of Stock Election Shares into Cash Election Shares (“Reallocated Cash Shares”) such that the sum of the number of Cash Election Shares plus the number of Reallocated Cash Shares times the Per Share Cash Amount equals the Cash Value, and all Reallocated Cash Shares will be converted into the right to receive cash; and

(iv) the Stock Election Shares that are not Reallocated Cash Shares shall be converted into the right to receive WSFS Common Stock.

(d) Maximum Cash Consideration Oversubscribed. If the number of Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Amount is greater than the Cash Value, then:

(i) all Stock Election Shares and all Non-Electing Shares shall be converted into the right to receive WSFS Common Stock;

(ii) the Exchange Agent shall convert on a pro rata basis, as described in Section 2.2(f), a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares into Stock Election Shares (“Reallocated Stock Shares”) such that the number of remaining Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Amount equals the Cash Value, and all Reallocated Stock Shares shall be converted into the right to receive WSFS Common Stock; and

(iii) the Cash Election Shares that are not Reallocated Stock Shares shall be converted into the right to receive cash.

(e) Maximum Cash Consideration Satisfied. If the number of Cash Election Shares times the Per Share Cash Amount is equal to the Cash Value, then subparagraphs (c) and (d) above shall not apply and all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive cash and all Non-Electing Shares and all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive WSFS Common Stock.

(f) Pro Rata Reallocations. In the event that the Exchange Agent is required pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(iii) hereof to convert some Stock Election Shares into Reallocated Cash Shares, each holder of Stock Election Shares (based upon the number of Stock Election Shares held) shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Cash Shares, based on the percentage of the total number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder. In the event the Exchange Agent is required pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(ii) hereof to convert some Cash

Election Shares (based upon the number of Cash Election Shares held) into Reallocated Stock Shares, each holder of Cash Election Shares shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the total Reallocated Stock Shares, based on the percentage of the total number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder.

(g) Tax Amendments. If, in the judgment of legal counsel to WSFS, the application of the provisions of Section 2.2(c) or (d) may reasonably create material and adverse tax consequences to WSFS, Alliance, or Alliance’s shareholders, then the Parties agree to mutually cooperate to amend or remove these provisions or otherwise mitigate any such material and adverse consequences, so long as such amendment, removal or mitigation is not prejudicial to the interests of the shareholders of Alliance.

2.3

Anti-Dilution Provisions.

In the event WSFS changes the number of shares of WSFS Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, or similar recapitalization with respect to such stock and the record date therefor (in the case of a stock dividend) or the effective date thereof (in the case of a stock split or similar recapitalization for which a record date is not established) shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration (including the Exchange Ratio and the Per Share Cash Amount) shall be equitably and proportionately adjusted, if necessary and without duplication, to reflect fully the effect of any such change.

2.4

Treatment of Alliance Equity Awards.

At the Effective Time, each option granted by Alliance to purchase shares of Alliance Common Stock under the Alliance Stock Option Plan, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (an “Alliance Stock Option”) shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive from WSFS a cash payment equal to the difference, if positive, between the Per Share Cash Amount and the exercise price of the Alliance Stock Option. Any Alliance Stock Option with an exercise price that equals or exceeds the Per Share Cash Amount shall be canceled with no consideration being paid to the optionholder with respect to such Alliance Stock Option. At or prior to the Effective Time, Alliance, the board of directors of Alliance and its compensation committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.4. At the Effective Time each outstanding and unvested award previously granted under the 2011 Recognition and Retention Plan of Alliance (the “Alliance RRP”) shall, in accordance with the terms of the Alliance RRP, become fully vested and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for the vested shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.5

Shares Held by Alliance or WSFS.

Each Canceled Share shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be issued or delivered in exchange therefor.

2.6

Fractional Shares.

No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of WSFS Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution of WSFS shall relate to such fractional share interests, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of WSFS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Alliance Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of WSFS Common Stock (after taking into account all certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash rounded up to the nearest cent (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of WSFS Common Stock that such holder of shares of Alliance Common Stock would otherwise have been entitled multiplied by the Per Share Cash Amount. No such holder will be entitled to dividends, voting rights, or any other rights as a stockholder in respect of any fractional shares.

ARTICLE 3

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

3.1

Election Procedures.

Subject to the terms of the Exchange Agent Agreement, each holder of record of shares of Alliance Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 3, to submit an election on or prior to the Election Deadline in accordance with the following procedures:

(a) Each Holder may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.1 (herein called an “Election”) (i) the number of shares of Alliance Common Stock owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Stock Election and (ii) the number of shares of Alliance Common Stock owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Cash Election.

(b) WSFS shall prepare a form reasonably acceptable to Alliance (the “Form of Election”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) so as to permit those holders to exercise their right to make an Election prior to the Election Deadline.

(c) Prior to the Mailing Date, WSFS shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to Alliance (the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of receiving Elections and exchanging shares of Alliance Common Stock represented by Certificates for Merger Consideration, pursuant to an exchange agent agreement entered into prior to the Mailing Date (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than five Business Days following the Effective Time (the “Mailing Date”), the Exchange Agent shall mail to each Holder of record of a Certificate a Form of Election and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration, in such form as Alliance and WSFS may reasonably agree. Subject to the terms of the Exchange Agent Agreement, any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, by the Election Deadline, a Form of Election properly completed and signed and accompanied by Certificates representing the shares of Alliance Common Stock to which such Form of Election relates, duly endorsed in blank or otherwise in acceptable form or by an appropriate customary guarantee of delivery of such Certificates, as set forth in such Form of Election, from a firm that is an “eligible guarantor institution” (as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act); provided, that such Certificates are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent by the time required in such guarantee of delivery, any additional documents specified in the procedures set forth in the Form of Election. Failure to deliver shares of Alliance Common Stock covered by such a guarantee of delivery within the time set forth on such guarantee shall be deemed to invalidate any otherwise properly made Election, unless otherwise determined by WSFS, in its sole and absolute discretion. As used herein, unless otherwise agreed in advance by Alliance and WSFS, “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. local time (in the city in which the principal office of the Exchange Agent is located) on the date that is 30 days following the Effective Time. WSFS shall issue a press release announcing the anticipated date of the Election Deadline not more than 10 Business Days before, and at least five Business Days prior to, the Election Deadline.

(d) Any Holder may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, change or revoke his or her Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed revised Form of Election or by withdrawal prior to the Election Deadline of his or her Certificates, or of the guarantee of delivery of such Certificates, or any documents, previously deposited with the Exchange Agent. Subject to the terms of the Exchange Agent Agreement and this Agreement, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine if any Election is not properly made with respect to any shares of Alliance Common Stock (neither WSFS nor Alliance nor the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any shareholder of any such defect); in the event the Exchange Agent makes such a determination, such Election shall be deemed to be not in effect, and the shares of Alliance Common Stock covered by such Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Non-Electing Shares, unless a proper Election is thereafter timely made with respect to such shares.

(e) Subject to the terms of the Exchange Agent Agreement, WSFS, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing (i) the manner and extent to which Elections are to be taken into account in making the determinations prescribed by Section 2.2, (ii) the issuance and delivery of certificates or, at the option of WSFS, evidence of shares in book-entry form (collectively referred to as “WSFS Certificates”) representing the number of shares of WSFS Common Stock into which shares of Alliance Common Stock are converted into the right to receive in the Merger and (iii) the method of payment of cash for shares of Alliance Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of WSFS Common Stock.

(f) To the extent permitted by Law, Alliance shall request the trustees of the Alliance Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust (the “Alliance ESOP”), to make a Cash Election for a sufficient number of the unallocated shares held by the Alliance ESOP to satisfy any outstanding debt under the ESOP Loan Agreements between the Alliance ESOP and Alliance dated as of January 30, 2007 and January 18, 2011 (the “ESOP Loan Agreements”).

3.2

Exchange Procedures.

(a) Deposit of Merger Consideration. Prior to the Effective Time, WSFS shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the Holders, for exchange in accordance with this Article 3, (i) WSFS Certificates for shares of WSFS Common Stock equal to the aggregate Stock Consideration and (ii) immediately available funds equal to the aggregate Cash Consideration (together with, to the extent then determinable, any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.6) (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”) and WSFS shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares, in accordance with this Agreement. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by WSFS or the Surviving Corporation. Interest and other income on the Exchange Fund shall be the sole and exclusive property of WSFS and the Surviving Corporation and shall be paid to WSFS or the Surviving Corporation, as WSFS directs. No investment of the Exchange Fund shall relieve WSFS, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent from making the payments required by this Article 3 and following any losses from any such investment, WSFS shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent to the extent necessary to satisfy WSFS’s obligations hereunder for the benefit of the Holders, which additional funds will be deemed to be part of the Exchange Fund.

(b) Delivery of Merger Consideration. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a Form of Election, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the Holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such Holder has a right to receive pursuant to Section 2.6 and any dividends or distributions which such Holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.2(d) with respect to the shares of Alliance Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and such Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of Holders of the Certificates on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates.

(c) Share Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of Alliance shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Alliance Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, Holders who held shares of Alliance Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation for any reason shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares (if any) pursuant to Section 2.7 and any dividends or distributions (if any) pursuant to Section 3.2(d) with respect to the shares of Alliance Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

(d) Dividends with Respect to WSFS Common Stock.

Each of the Alliance Benefit Plans that is subject to Title IV of ERISA is fully funded on a termination basis and can be terminated immediately after Closing without the need for any additional funding or other costs.

(g) No Alliance Entity has any Liability or obligation to provide postretirement medical or life insurance benefits to any Alliance Entity’s employees or former employees, officers, or directors, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, except as otherwise required under state or federal benefits continuation Laws and for which the covered individual pays the full cost of coverage.

(i) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) result in, cause the vesting, exercisability or delivery of, or increase in the amount or value of, any payment, right or other benefit to any employee, officer, director or other service provider of any Alliance Entity, or result in any (a) requirement to fund any benefits or set aside benefits in a trust (including a rabbi trust) or (b) limitation on the right of any Alliance Entity to amend, merge, terminate or receive a reversion of assets from any Alliance Benefit Plan or related trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no amount paid or payable (whether in cash, in property, or in the form of benefits) by the Alliance Entities in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (either solely as a result thereof or as a result of such transactions in conjunction with any other event) will be an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 4.18(i) of Alliance’s Disclosure Memorandum sets forth accurate calculations with respect to each individual who has a contractual right to severance pay based upon the assumptions set forth therein triggered by a change in control and the amounts potentially payable to each such individual in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) or as a result of a termination of employment or service, taking into account any contractual provisions relating to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

SEC Filings; Financial Statements.

The WSFS SEC Reports (i) at the time filed, complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Laws and other applicable Laws and (ii) did not, at the time they were filed (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing or, in the case of registration statements, at the effective date thereof, and in the case of proxy statements, at the date of the relevant meeting) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in such WSFS SEC Reports or necessary in order to make the statements in such WSFS SEC Reports, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except for WSFS Subsidiaries that are registered as a broker, dealer, or investment adviser, no WSFS Subsidiary is required to file any SEC Documents.

(b) Each of the WSFS Financial Statements (including, in each case, any related notes) contained in the WSFS SEC Reports, including any WSFS SEC Reports filed after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes to such financial statements or, in the case of unaudited interim statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC), and fairly presented in all material respects the consolidated financial position of WSFS and its Subsidiaries as at the respective dates and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, except that the unaudited interim financial statements were or are subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments which were not or are not expected to be material in amount or effect.

(c) Systems and Processes. Since December 31, 2011, neither WSFS nor, to WSFS’s Knowledge, any employee, auditor, accountant or representative of any WSFS Subsidiary has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the adequacy of such systems and processes or the accuracy or integrity of the WSFS Financial Statements. To WSFS’s Knowledge, there has been no instance of fraud by any WSFS Entity, whether or not material, that occurred during any period covered by the WSFS Financial Statements.

(d) Records. The records, systems, controls, data and information of WSFS and the WSFS Subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are under the exclusive ownership and direct control of WSFS or the WSFS Subsidiaries or accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom), except for any non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control that would not reasonably be likely to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on WSFS. WSFS (i) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to WSFS, including WSFS Subsidiaries, is made known to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of WSFS by others within those entities as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and to make the certifications required by the Exchange Act and Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and (ii) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to WSFS’s outside auditors and the audit committee of WSFS’s Board of Directors (x) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which are reasonably likely to adversely affect WSFS’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, and (y) to the knowledge of WSFS, any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in WSFS’s internal controls over financial reporting. To the knowledge of WSFS, there is no reason to believe that WSFS’s outside auditors and its chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, without qualification, when next due, if required.

(e) Auditor Independence.

There are no Liens for any material amount of Taxes (other than a Lien for Taxes not yet due and payable or for which are being contested in appropriate proceedings) on any of the Assets of the WSFS Entities.

Alliance agrees that its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) shall not be affected by the commencement, proposal, disclosure or communication to Alliance of any Acquisition Proposal. Alliance shall (i) through its board of directors (which shall recommend and determine advisable the Merger and this Agreement by a vote sufficient to ensure that the shareholder vote standard described in Section 4.2(a) is applicable and the shareholder vote standard described in Article XI of Alliance’s articles of incorporation is inapplicable to the Merger and this Agreement), recommend to its shareholders the approval and adoption of this Agreement (the “Alliance Recommendation”), (ii) include such Alliance Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Alliance Shareholder Approval. Neither the board of directors of Alliance nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to WSFS, the Alliance Recommendation or take any action, or make any public statement, filing or release inconsistent with the Alliance Recommendation (any of the foregoing being a “Change in the Alliance Recommendation”). If requested by WSFS, Alliance shall retain a proxy solicitor reasonably acceptable to, and on terms reasonably acceptable to, WSFS in connection with obtaining the Alliance Shareholder Approval.

(c) Alliance shall adjourn or postpone the Shareholders’ Meeting, if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled there are insufficient shares of Alliance Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Shareholders’ Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of Alliance at the Shareholders’ Meeting, for the purpose of voting on the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the other matters contemplated hereby, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Alliance of such obligation.

7.2

Acquisition Proposals.

(a) No Alliance Entity shall, and it shall cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, initiate, encourage (including by providing information or assistance), facilitate or induce any Acquisition Proposal, (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish or cause to be furnished to any Person or “Group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) any nonpublic information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any offer or proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (c) approve, agree to, accept, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, or (d) approve, agree to, accept, endorse or recommend, or propose to approve, agree to, accept, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Agreement contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.2 by any Subsidiary or Representative of Alliance shall constitute a breach of this Section 7.2 by Alliance.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.2(a), if Alliance or any of its Representatives receives an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal by any Person or “Group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) at any time prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting that did not result from or arise in connection with a breach of Section 7.2(a), Alliance and its Representatives may, prior to (but not after) the Shareholders’ Meeting, take the following actions if the board of directors of Alliance (or any committee thereof) has (i) determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with Alliance’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such actions more likely than not would cause it to violate its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (ii) obtained from such Person or “Group” an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms at least as restrictive with respect to such Person or “Group” as the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement is in each provision with respect to WSFS: (A) furnish information to

(but only if Alliance shall have provided such information to WSFS prior to furnishing it to any such Person or “Group”), and (B) enter into discussions and negotiations with, such Person or “Group” with respect to such bona fide written Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Promptly (but in no event more than 24 hours) following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or any inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, Alliance shall advise WSFS in writing of the receipt of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (including, in each case, the identity of the Person or “Group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry), and Alliance shall as promptly as practicable provide to WSFS (i) a copy of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, if in writing, or (ii) a written summary of the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, if oral. Alliance shall provide WSFS as promptly as practicable with notice setting forth all such information as is necessary to keep WSFS informed on a current basis in all material respects of all communications regarding (including material amendments or proposed material amendments to) such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the Shareholders’ Meeting, if Alliance has received a Superior Proposal (after giving effect to the terms of any revised offer by WSFS pursuant to this Section 7.2(d)), the board of directors of Alliance may, in connection with the Superior Proposal, make a Change in the Alliance Recommendation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, approving, endorsing or recommending any Acquisition Proposal), if the board of directors of Alliance has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action more likely than not would be a violation of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that the board of directors of Alliance may not take the actions set forth in this Section 7.2(d) unless:

(i) Alliance has complied in all material respects with this Section 7.2;

(ii) Alliance has provided prior written notice to WSFS at least four Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”) of taking such action, which notice shall advise WSFS that the board of directors of Alliance has received a Superior Proposal and shall include a copy of such Superior Proposal;

(iii) during the Notice Period, Alliance has and has caused its financial advisors and outside legal counsel to, negotiate with WSFS in good faith (to the extent WSFS desires to so negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute (in the judgment of the board of directors of Alliance) a Superior Proposal; and

(iv) the board of directors of Alliance has determined in good faith, after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to any proposals, amendments or modifications made or agreed to by WSFS, if any, that such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal.

If during the Notice Period any revisions are made to the Superior Proposal, Alliance shall deliver a new written notice to WSFS and shall comply with the requirements of this Section 7.2 with respect to such new written notice.

Notwithstanding any Change in the Alliance Recommendation, this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of Alliance at the Shareholders’ Meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval of this Agreement and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Alliance of such obligation; provided, that if the board of directors of Alliance shall have effected a Change in the Alliance Recommendation, then the board of directors of Alliance, in connection with the submission of this Agreement to the shareholders of Alliance may submit this Agreement without recommendation (although the resolution adopting this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded), in which event the board of directors of Alliance may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to the shareholders of Alliance in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto. In addition to the foregoing, Alliance shall not submit to the vote of its shareholders any Acquisition Proposal other than the Merger.

(e) Alliance and Alliance Subsidiaries shall, and Alliance shall direct its Representatives to, (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any offer or proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person (other than WSFS and its Representatives) that has made or indicated an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal, and (iii) not waive or amend any “standstill” provision or provisions of similar effect to which it is a party or of which it is a beneficiary and shall strictly enforce any such provisions.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Alliance or its board of directors from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or from making any disclosure to the shareholders of Alliance if the board of directors of Alliance (after consultation with outside legal counsel) concludes that its failure to do so more likely than not would be a violation of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Issuance of any such communication shall be deemed a Change in the Alliance Recommendation unless the communication includes a reaffirmation of the Alliance Recommendation in favor of adoption and approval by the shareholders of Alliance of this Agreement.

7.3

Exchange Listing.

WSFS shall use its reasonable best efforts to list, prior to the Effective Time, on NASDAQ the shares of WSFS Common Stock to be issued to the holders of Alliance Common Stock pursuant to the Merger, and WSFS shall give all notices and make all filings with NASDAQ required in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

7.4

Consents of Regulatory Authorities.

(a) WSFS and Alliance and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare all documentation, to effect all applications, notices and filings and to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Regulatory Authorities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger and Bank Merger), and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such third parties and Regulatory Authorities. WSFS shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve objections, if any, which may be asserted with respect to the Merger under any applicable Law or Order; provided, that in no event shall WSFS be required to accept any new restriction or condition on the WSFS Entities which is materially and unreasonably burdensome on WSFS’s business or on the business of Alliance or Alliance Bank, in each case following the Closing or which would reduce the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to WSFS to such a degree that WSFS would not have entered into this Agreement had such condition or restriction been known to it at the date hereof (any such condition or restriction, a “Burdensome Condition”). Each of WSFS and Alliance shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to, all material written information submitted to any third party or Regulatory Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the Parties hereto agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each Party hereto agrees that it will consult with the other Party hereto with respect to the obtaining of all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of third parties and Regulatory Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each Party will keep the other Party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including advising the other Party upon receiving any communication from a Regulatory Authority the consent or approval of which is required for the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any required consent or approval from a Regulatory Authority will not be obtained or that the receipt of such consent or approval may be materially delayed (a “Regulatory Communication”). Upon the receipt of a Regulatory Communication, without

limiting the scope of the foregoing paragraphs, the receiving Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law (i) promptly advise the other of the receipt of any substantive communication from a Regulatory Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and provide a copy of such Regulatory Communication to the other Party, (ii) provide the other Party with a reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of any response thereto and the preparation of any other substantive submission or communication to any Regulatory Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and to review any such response, submission or communication prior to the filing or submission thereof (other than portions of materials to be filed or submitted in connection therewith that contain competitively sensitive business or proprietary information filed or submitted under a claim of confidentiality), and (iii) provide the other Party with the opportunity to participate in any meetings or substantive telephone conversations that the receiving party or its Representatives may have from time to time with any Regulatory Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Each Party agrees, upon request, to promptly furnish the other Party with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of such other Party or any of its Subsidiaries to any Regulatory Authority.

7.5

Investigation and Confidentiality.

(a) Alliance shall promptly notify WSFS of any material change in the normal course of its business or in the operation of its properties and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, of any material governmental complaints, investigations or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated), or the institution or the threat of a material claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving Alliance or Alliance Bank.

(b) Alliance shall promptly advise WSFS of any fact, change, event or circumstance known to Alliance (i) that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Alliance or (ii) which Alliance believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained herein or that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article 8; provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any breach shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of this Section 7.5(b) or the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.2 to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the Party failing to give such notice, in each case unless the underlying breach would independently result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 to be satisfied.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Alliance shall permit WSFS to make or cause to be made such investigation of the business and properties of it and its Subsidiaries and of their respective financial and legal conditions as WSFS reasonably requests, provided that such investigation shall not unreasonably interfere with normal operations of Alliance or its Subsidiaries, and provided, further, that Alliance and the Alliance Subsidiaries shall not be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would result in the loss of the attorney-client privilege of Alliance or its Subsidiaries or contravene any Law or Order. No investigation by WSFS shall affect the ability of WSFS to rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Alliance.

(d) Each Party shall, and shall cause its advisers and agents to, maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information furnished to it by the other Party concerning its and its Subsidiaries’ businesses, operations, and financial positions and shall not use such information for any purpose except in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time, each Party shall promptly return or certify the destruction of all documents and copies thereof, and all work papers containing confidential information received from the other Party.

7.6

Press Releases.

Alliance and WSFS agree that no press release or other public disclosure or communication (including communications to employees, agents and contractors of Alliance) related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by either Party (or its Affiliates) without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, that nothing in this Section 7.6 shall be deemed to prohibit any Party from making any press release or other public disclosure required by Law or the rules or regulations of any United States or non-United States securities exchange, in which case the Party required to make the release or disclosure shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other Party reasonable time to comment on such release or disclosure in advance of the issuance thereof. The Parties have agreed upon the form of a joint press release announcing the execution of this Agreement.

7.7

Tax Treatment.

(a) Each of the Parties intends, and undertakes and agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger, and to take no action which would cause the Merger not, to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes. The Parties shall cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts in order to obtain the Tax Opinions. The Parties adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(b) Unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, each of WSFS and Alliance shall report the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and shall not take any inconsistent position therewith in any Tax Return.

7.8

Employee Benefits and Contracts.

(a) Following the Effective Time, except as contemplated by this Agreement, WSFS shall provide generally to officers and employees (as a group) who are actively employed by an Alliance Entity on the Closing Date (“Covered Employees”) while employed by any WSFS Entity following the Closing Date employee benefits under Employee Benefit Plans, on terms and conditions which when taken as a whole are comparable to those currently provided by WSFS Entities to their similarly situated officers and employees; provided, that in no event shall any Covered Employee be eligible to participate in any closed or frozen plan of any WSFS Entity. Until such time as WSFS shall cause the Covered Employees to participate in the applicable WSFS Employee Benefit Plans, the continued participation of the Covered Employees in the Alliance Benefit Plans shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this clause (it being understood that participation in WSFS’s Employee Benefit Plans may commence at different times with respect to each of WSFS’s Employee Benefit Plans). For purposes of participation, vesting and benefit accrual under WSFS’s Employee Benefit Plans, the service of the Covered Employees prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as service with a WSFS Entity participating in such employee benefit plans, to the same extent that such service was recognized by the Alliance Entities for purposes of a similar benefit plan; provided, that such recognition of service shall not (i) operate to duplicate any benefits of a Covered Employee with respect to the same period of service or (ii) apply for purposes of any plan, program or arrangement (x) that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation, or (y) for purposes of retiree medical benefits or level of benefits under a defined benefit pension plan. Covered Employees who are employed by any WSFS Entity shall retain their vacation and sick leave accrual under the Alliance Benefit Plans as of the Effective Time, provided that any future accrual of benefits under leave policies shall be in accordance with the WSFS Employee Benefit Plans, subject to carryover limitations applicable to such future accruals. WSFS agrees to amend the WSFS Employee Benefit Plans to the extent necessary to provide for the past service credits applicable to the Covered Employees referenced herein.

(b) Covered Employees who are employed by any WSFS Entity and who become eligible to participate in any insurance policy, plan or program offered by the WSFS Entities following the Effective Time shall receive

full credit under such policy, plan or program for any deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such employees and their respective dependents under the corresponding Alliance Benefit Plan during the portion of the applicable plan year prior to such participation. In addition, the Covered Employees and their respective dependents shall not be subject to any exclusion or penalty for pre-existing conditions that were covered under the corresponding Alliance Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time, or to any waiting period relating to such coverage. WSFS shall honor the plans set forth in Section 7.8(b) of the WSFS Disclosure Memorandum.

(c) If requested by WSFS in a writing delivered to Alliance following the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, the Alliance Entities shall take all necessary action (including without limitation the adoption of resolutions and plan amendments and the delivery of any required notices) to terminate, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, any Alliance Benefit Plan that is intended to constitute a tax-qualified defined contribution plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) (a “401(k) Plan”). Alliance shall provide WSFS with a copy of the resolutions, plan amendments, notices and other documents prepared to effectuate the termination of the 401(k) Plans in advance and give WSFS a reasonable opportunity to comment on such documents (which comments shall be considered in good faith by Alliance), and prior to the Closing Date, Alliance shall provide WSFS with the final documentation evidencing the termination of the 401(k) Plans.

(d) Alliance shall cause Alliance Bank to terminate the Alliance ESOP effective immediately prior to the Effective Time. The accounts of all participants and beneficiaries in the ESOP shall become fully vested upon termination of the Alliance ESOP. The Cash Consideration received with respect to the unallocated Alliance Common Stock held by the Alliance ESOP shall first be used to repay all then outstanding indebtedness under the ESOP Loan Agreements in their entirety, provided that if the Cash Consideration is not sufficient to fully repay the outstanding indebtedness under the ESOP Loan Agreements, then shares of WSFS Common Stock received with respect to the unallocated Alliance Common Stock held by the Alliance ESOP shall be canceled in an amount sufficient to satisfy the remaining indebtedness under the ESOP Loan Agreements. Following the Effective Time, the amount held in the suspense account of the Alliance ESOP shall be allocated as earnings proportionately to all Participants (as defined in the Alliance ESOP) based on their respective ESOP account balances as of the beginning of the plan year in which the Alliance ESOP is terminated. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, Alliance shall cause Alliance Bank to file all necessary documents with the IRS for a determination letter for termination of the Alliance ESOP immediately prior to the Effective Time, with a copy to be provided to WSFS and its counsel in advance of such filing, and Alliance shall give WSFS a reasonable opportunity to comment on such documents (which comments shall be considered in good faith by Alliance). Prior to the Effective Time, Alliance Bank and, following the Effective Time, WSFS Bank shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such favorable determination letter as promptly as practicable (including, but not limited to, adopting such amendments to the Alliance ESOP as may be required by the IRS as a condition to its issuance of a favorable determination letter). As soon as practicable following the later of the Effective Time or the receipt of the favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding the qualified status of the Alliance ESOP upon its termination, all account balances in the Alliance ESOP shall be either distributed to participants and beneficiaries or rolled over to an eligible tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary may direct, provided that holders of account balances in the Alliance ESOP whose employment with the Alliance Entities or the WSFS Entities is terminated may elect to roll over or receive a distribution of their account balance prior to the receipt of the favorable determination letter from the IRS (in the event that such rollover or distribution does not include amounts to which such terminated employees are entitled from the suspense account of the ESOP, then such additional amounts shall be rolled over or distributed following such allocation). WSFS agrees to permit participants in the Alliance ESOP who become employees of WSFS or any WSFS Subsidiary to roll over their account balances in the Alliance ESOP to WSFS’s 401(k) retirement plan. Alliance shall, or shall direct the fiduciaries of the Alliance ESOP (to the extent permitted by Law) to, provide WSFS with a draft of each resolution, amendment, participant communication or other document relating to the termination of the Alliance ESOP or the voting of the shares of Alliance Common Stock in the Alliance ESOP at the Shareholders’ Meeting at least five business days before such document is adopted, filed, or distributed, and no such document shall be adopted, filed, or distributed without WSFS’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) WSFS agrees to assume and honor the terms of each Alliance Benefit Plan and to make payments in accordance with the current terms of such plans and agreements and any applicable payment elections made thereunder; provided, that to the extent requested by WSFS prior to the Closing Date, the Alliance Entities shall cooperate in good faith with WSFS to amend, freeze, terminate or modify any Alliance Benefit Plan not covered by subsections (c) and (d) of this Section 7.8 in accordance with the terms of such plan or agreement and applicable Law, to be effective as of the Effective Time (or at such different time mutually agreed to by the parties), except that the winding up of any such plan or agreement may be completed following the Closing Date. Alliance shall provide WSFS with a copy of the resolutions, plan amendments, notices and other documents prepared to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 7.8(e), as applicable, and give WSFS a reasonable opportunity to comment on such documents (which comments shall be considered in good faith by Alliance), and prior to the Closing Date, Alliance shall provide WSFS with the final documentation evidencing that the actions contemplated herein have been effectuated.

(f) Without limiting the generality of Section 10.13, the provisions of this Section 7.8 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Covered Employee, current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement: (i) establish, amend, or modify any Alliance Benefit Plan or any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by WSFS, Alliance or any of their respective Affiliates; (ii) alter or limit the ability of WSFS or any WSFS Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing Date, the Alliance Entities) to amend, modify or terminate any Alliance Benefit Plan, employment agreement or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Closing Date, in accordance with the terms of such plan or agreement and applicable Law; or (iii) confer upon any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant, any right to employment or continued employment or continued service with WSFS or any WSFS Subsidiary (including, following the Closing Date, the Alliance Entities), or constitute or create an employment agreement with any employee, or interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Surviving Corporation, Alliance, WSFS or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof to discharge or terminate the services of any employee, officer, director or consultant of Alliance or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

7.9

Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, WSFS shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former directors or officers of the Alliance Entities (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all Liabilities arising out of actions or omissions arising out of the Indemnified Party’s service or services as directors or officers of Alliance or, at Alliance’s request, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the fullest extent permitted under the PBCL and by Alliance’s articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws as in effect on the date hereof, including provisions relating to advances of expenses incurred in the defense of any Litigation and whether or not any WSFS Entity is insured against any such matter; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the rights to indemnification and advancement set forth in Alliance’s articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws as in effect on the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in any case in which approval by WSFS is required by Alliance’s articles of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws to effectuate any indemnification, WSFS shall direct, at the election of the Indemnified Party, that the determination of any such approval shall be made by independent counsel mutually agreed upon between WSFS and the Indemnified Party.

(b) WSFS shall use its reasonable best efforts (and Alliance shall cooperate prior to the Effective Time in these efforts) to maintain in effect for a period of six years after the Effective Time Alliance’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (provided that WSFS may substitute therefor (i) policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are substantially no less advantageous or (ii) with the consent of Alliance given prior to the Effective Time, any other policy) with respect to claims arising

from facts or events which occurred prior to the Effective Time and covering persons who are currently covered by such insurance; provided, that WSFS shall not be obligated to make aggregate annual premium payments for such six-year period in respect of such policy (or coverage replacing such policy) which exceed, for the portion related to Alliance’s directors and officers, the amount set forth in Section 7.9(b) of Alliance’s Disclosure Memorandum (the “Maximum Amount”). If the amount of the premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, WSFS shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtainable for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In lieu of the foregoing, WSFS, or Alliance in consultation with WSFS, may obtain on or prior to the Effective Time, a six-year “tail” prepaid policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in this Section 7.9(b), in which case, WSFS will have no further obligations under this Section 7.9(b) other than to maintain such “tail” prepaid policy.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 7.9(a), upon learning of any such Liability or Litigation, shall promptly notify WSFS thereof. In the event of any such Litigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time): (i) WSFS shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and WSFS shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if WSFS elects not to assume such defense or independent legal counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are substantive issues which raise conflicts of interest between WSFS and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and WSFS shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, that WSFS shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 7.9(c) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties; (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such Litigation; and (iii) WSFS shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent; and provided, further, that WSFS shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(d) If WSFS or any successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or if WSFS (or any successors or assigns) shall transfer all or substantially all of its Assets to any Person, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of WSFS shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.9.

(e) The provisions of this Section 7.9 are intended to be for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and their respective heirs and Representatives.

7.10

Operating Functions.

Alliance and Alliance Bank shall cooperate with WSFS and WSFS Bank in connection with planning for the efficient and orderly combination of the Parties and the operation of WSFS Bank (including the former operations of Alliance Bank) after the Bank Merger, and in preparing for the consolidation of appropriate operating functions to be effective at the Effective Time or such later date as WSFS may decide. Without limiting the foregoing, senior officers of Alliance and WSFS shall meet from time to time as Alliance or WSFS may reasonably request to review the financial and operational affairs of Alliance and Alliance Bank, and Alliance shall give due consideration to WSFS’s input on such matters, with the understanding that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, (a) neither WSFS nor WSFS Bank shall under any circumstance be permitted to exercise control of Alliance, Alliance Bank or any other Alliance Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, (b) neither Alliance nor Alliance Bank shall be under any obligation to act in a manner that could reasonably be deemed to constitute anti-competitive behavior under federal or state antitrust Laws, and (c) neither Alliance nor Alliance Bank shall be required to agree to any material obligation that is not contingent upon the consummation of the Merger.

7.11

Shareholder Litigation.

Each of WSFS and Alliance shall promptly notify each other in writing of any action, arbitration, audit, hearing, investigation, litigation, suit, subpoena or summons issued, commenced, brought, conducted or heard by or before, or otherwise involving, any Regulatory Authority or arbitrator pending or, to the knowledge of WSFS or Alliance, as applicable, threatened against WSFS, Alliance or any of their respective Subsidiaries that (a) questions or would reasonably be expected to question the validity of this Agreement, the Subsidiary Plan of Merger or the other agreements contemplated hereby or thereby or any actions taken or to be taken by WSFS, Alliance or their respective Subsidiaries with respect hereto or thereto, or (b) seeks to enjoin or otherwise restrain the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Alliance shall give WSFS every opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against Alliance and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without WSFS’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

7.12

Legal Conditions to Merger.

Subject in all respects to Sections 7.1 and 7.4 of this Agreement, each of WSFS and Alliance shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and the Bank Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article 8 hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other Party to obtain) any material consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Regulatory Authority and any other third party that is required to be obtained by Alliance or WSFS or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Dividends.

After the date of this Agreement, each of WSFS and Alliance shall coordinate with the other the declaration of any dividends in respect of WSFS Common Stock and Alliance Common Stock and the record dates and payment dates relating thereto, it being the intention of the parties hereto that holders of Alliance Common Stock shall not receive two dividends, or fail to receive one dividend, in any quarter with respect to their shares of Alliance Common Stock and any shares of WSFS Common Stock any such holder receives in exchange therefor in the Merger.

(a) By mutual written agreement of WSFS and Alliance;

(b) By either Party in the event (i) any Regulatory Authority has denied a Requisite Regulatory Approval and such denial has become final and nonappealable, provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b)(i) shall have used its reasonable best efforts to contest, appeal and change such denial, (ii) any Law or Order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have become final and nonappealable, provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b)(ii) shall have used its reasonable best efforts to contest, appeal and remove such Law or Order, or (iii) the shareholders of Alliance fail to vote their approval of the matters relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at the Shareholders’ Meeting where such matters were presented to such shareholders for approval and voted upon;

(c) By either Party in the event that the Merger shall not have been consummated by December 31, 2015, if the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on or before such date is not caused by any breach of this Agreement by the Party electing to terminate pursuant to this Section 9.1(c);

(g) By WSFS in the event that any of the conditions precedent to the obligations of WSFS to consummate the Merger contained in Section 8.2 cannot be satisfied or fulfilled by the date specified in Section 9.1(c) (provided that the failure of such condition to be satisfied or fulfilled is not a result of WSFS’s failure to perform, in any material respect, any of its material covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or the breach by WSFS of any of its material representations or warranties contained in this Agreement).

By Alliance, if the board of directors of Alliance so determines by a vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the entire board of directors of Alliance, at any time during the five-day period commencing with the Determination Date, if both of the following conditions are satisfied:

subject, however, to the following three sentences.
