ARTICLE II
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Summit, PSB or any holder of the following securities:

(a) Each share of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of Summit (“Summit Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $2.50 per share, of Summit.

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, each share of common stock, par value $10.00 per share, of PSB (“PSB Common Stock”) (other than each Dissenting Share, as defined below in Section 2.7) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and will be converted into and become the right to receive 1.2347 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Summit Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”); and

(c) As of the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase a share or shares of PSB Common Stock (each, a “PSB Option”) shall be (i) entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the difference between (a) $35.00 and (b) the exercise price (rounded to the nearest cent) for each outstanding PSB Option by (2) the number of shares of PSB Common Stock subject to such PSB Stock Option. As of the Effective Time, each holder of a PSB Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the cash consideration specified in this Section 2.1(c), without interest.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Summit Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger and, in lieu thereof, holders of shares of PSB Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share interest (after taking into account all shares of PSB Common Stock held by such holder) shall be paid an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of such fractional share interest and the Final Summit Price. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.

(e) If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Summit Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization (a “Share Adjustment”), then the Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately and proportionately adjusted so that the shareholders of PSB Common Stock shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in such proportion as they would have received pursuant to such Share Adjustment had the record date therefor been immediately following the Effective Time.

(f) As of the Effective Time, all shares of PSB Common Stock converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired, and all rights with respect thereto shall cease to exist, and each holder of PSB Common Stock shall cease to have any rights thereto, except the right to receive, upon surrender of the holder’s certificates representing shares of PSB Common Stock (“Certificates”) or any non-certificated shares of PSB Common Stock (“Book Entry Shares”) in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof, his, her or its pro rata share of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1.

(g) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of PSB shall be closed, and no transfer of PSB Common Stock theretofor outstanding shall thereafter be made.

(h) Any shares of PSB Common Stock that are owned by PSB (including treasury shares) or Summit (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or shares held in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted) shall automatically be canceled and retired and all rights with respect thereto shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

Section 2.2. Exchange Procedures; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Each holder of a Certificate or Certificates or any Book Entry Shares who has surrendered such Certificate or Certificates or Book Entry Shares together with duly executed transmittal materials to Summit or, at the election of Summit, to an exchange agent designated by Summit and acceptable to PSB in its reasonable discretion (the “Exchange Agent”), shall, upon acceptance thereof by Summit or the Exchange Agent, be entitled to evidence of issuance in book entry form representing the number of whole shares of Summit Common Stock and the amount of cash, if any, into which the aggregate number of shares of PSB Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate or Certificates or Book Entry Shares so surrendered shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and any distribution theretofor declared and not yet paid with respect to such shares of Summit Common Stock, without interest, as provided in Section 2.3.

(b) Customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate(s) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to Summit or the Exchange Agent or transfer of Book Entry Shares to Summit or the Exchange Agent) shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date to each holder of record of PSB Common Stock.

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates and/or Book-Entry Shares, Summit shall deliver to the Exchange Agent, to be given to the holders of PSB Common Stock in exchange for their Certificates and Book-Entry Shares as provided for in this Article II, (i) certificates representing the number of whole shares of Summit Common Stock issuable to the holders of PSB Common Stock as the Merger Consideration and (ii) an amount in cash equal to the amount due in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(d) (the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the shares of Summit Common Stock held by it from time to time in the Exchange Fund, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such shares of Summit Common Stock for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.

(d) Summit or, at the election of Summit, the Exchange Agent shall accept Certificates or Book Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as Summit or the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. Certificates or Book Entry Shares shall be appropriately endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of transfer as Summit or the Exchange Agent may reasonably require.

(e) Each outstanding Certificate or Book Entry Share shall, until duly surrendered to Summit or the Exchange Agent, be deemed to evidence ownership of the Merger Consideration into which the PSB Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate or Book Entry Share shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) After the Effective Time, holders of Certificates and Book Entry Shares shall cease to have rights with respect to the stock previously represented by such Certificates or Book Entry Shares, and their sole rights shall be to exchange such Certificates and Book Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration provided for in this Agreement. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfer on the records of PSB of Certificates and Book Entry Shares, and if such Certificates and Book Entry Shares are presented to PSB for transfer, they shall be canceled against delivery of the Merger Consideration provided therefor in this Agreement. Summit shall not be obligated to deliver the Merger Consideration to which any former holder of PSB Common Stock is entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificates and Book Entry Shares as provided herein.

(g) Summit and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of PSB to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive the Merger Consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate or Book Entry Shares, Summit and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(h) In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration provided for in this Agreement.

(i) If any certificate representing shares of Summit Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate or Book Entry Shares surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of Summit Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate or Book Entry Shares surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

Section 2.3. Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or paid with respect to Summit Common Stock with a record date after the Closing Date shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book Entry Shares with respect to the shares of Summit Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book Entry Shares, until the holder of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares shall have complied with the exchange procedures set forth herein. Subject to the effect of Applicable Legal Requirements, following the surrender of any such Certificate or Book Entry Shares, there shall be paid to the holder of whole shares of Summit Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (a) at the time of such surrender the amount of any cash payable with respect to a fractional share of Summit Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, if applicable, and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Closing Date theretofor paid (but withheld pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) with respect to such whole shares of Summit Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Closing Date but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Summit Common Stock.

Section 2.4. Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the former shareholders of PSB for one (1) year after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Summit, upon demand, and any holders of PSB Common Stock who have not theretofor complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Summit for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Summit Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to Summit Common Stock.

Section 2.5. No Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Legal Requirements, neither of Summit nor PSB shall be liable to any former holder of shares of PSB Common Stock for any portion of the Merger Consideration, or any dividends or distributions with respect to the Merger Consideration, delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

Section 2.6. Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent and Summit shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any former holder of shares of PSB Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of the shares of PSB Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.7. Dissenting Shares. Each share of PSB Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time, the holder of which has not voted for approval of this Agreement and the Merger and who has properly perfected his dissenter’s rights of appraisal by following the exact procedure required by Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL is referred to herein as a “Dissenting Share.” Each Dissenting Share shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II and shall be entitled only to such rights as are available to such holder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the MGCL. Each holder of a Dissenting Share shall be entitled to receive the value of such Dissenting Share held by him in accordance with the applicable provisions of the MGCL; provided, such holder complies with the procedures contemplated by and set forth in the applicable provisions of the MGCL. If any holder of any Dissenting Share shall effectively withdraw or lose such holder’s dissenter’s rights under the applicable provisions of the MGCL, each such Dissenting Share shall be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon in accordance with the provisions of this Article II.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PSB

Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule delivered by PSB to Summit prior to the execution hereof (the “PSB Disclosure Schedule”), PSB hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in this Article III to Summit as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. For purposes of the representations and warranties of PSB contained herein, disclosure in any section of the PSB Disclosure Schedule of any facts or circumstances shall be deemed to be adequate response and disclosure of such facts or circumstances with respect to all representations or warranties by PSB calling for disclosure of such information, whether or not such disclosure is specifically associated with or purports to respond to one or more of such representations or warranties, if it is reasonably apparent on the face of the PSB Disclosure Schedule that such disclosure is applicable. The inclusion of any information in any section of the PSB Disclosure Schedule or other document delivered by PSB pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever. PSB agrees to provide prior to the Closing supplemental Disclosure Schedules reflecting any material changes to the representations and warranties set forth herein between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date to Summit. Delivery of such Supplemental Disclosure Schedules shall not cure a breach of or modify a representation or warranty.

Section 3.1. Organization, Standing and Power. PSB is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). Each of PSB and its Subsidiaries is a corporation, limited liability company, trust or partnership duly organized or formed, as the case may be, validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and is duly qualified and in good standing to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure so to qualify would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on PSB. The copies of the PSB Charter and the bylaws of PSB and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Provident State Bank, which have been previously furnished to Summit, are true, correct and complete copies of such documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

Section 3.2. Capital Structure.

(a) The authorized capital stock of PSB consists of 4,000,000 shares of PSB Common Stock. As of the date of this Agreement, (i) there are 1,523,404 shares of PSB Common Stock issued and outstanding, (ii) there are 75,700 shares of PSB Common Stock that are issuable and reserved for issuance upon the exercise of PSB Options, and (iii) no shares of PSB Common Stock were held by PSB or any of its Subsidiaries (exclusive of any shares acquired in respect of debts previously contracted (any such shares being referred to herein as “DPC shares”) or in a fiduciary capacity). All of the issued and outstanding shares of PSB Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable and the issuance of such shares was not subject to any preemptive or similar rights. PSB has disclosed to Summit all known creditors, whether contingent or otherwise.

(b) Neither PSB nor any PSB Subsidiary has issued any bonds, debentures, notes, trust preferred securities or other similar obligations that are outstanding. No Voting Debt of PSB or any PSB Subsidiary is issued or outstanding.

The PSB Financial Statements do not contain any items of extraordinary or nonrecurring income or any other income not earned in the ordinary course of business except as expressly specified therein.

PSB shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with any Persons other than Summit with respect to any of the foregoing and shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Within two (2) days of receipt of any unsolicited offer, PSB will communicate to Summit the terms of any proposal or request for information and the identity of the parties involved.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2(a), at any time from the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Required PSB Vote, in the event PSB receives an unsolicited (or otherwise not in breach with this Section 6.2), bona fide written Acquisition Proposal and the PSB Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith after consultation with legal counsel and its financial advisor that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, PSB may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, agents, advisors, and affiliates to, (i) negotiate the terms of, and enter into, a confidentiality agreement with terms and conditions no less favorable to PSB with respect to confidentiality than the Confidentiality Agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”), (ii) furnish or cause to be furnished PSB confidential information to the Person or Persons making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, and (iii) negotiate and participate in such negotiations or discussions with the Person or Persons making such Acquisition Proposal concerning such Acquisition Proposal, if the PSB Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith (following consultation with counsel) that failure to take such actions would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law. Provident State Bank will promptly, and in any event within two (2) days of receipt of any unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, (x) notify Summit in writing of the receipt of such Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information relating to Provident State Bank or for access to the Properties, assets, books or records of Provident State Bank by any Person that has made, or to the knowledge of Provident State Bank may be considering making, an Acquisition Proposal and (y) communicate the name of such Person and the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal to Summit, including as they may change upon any modification or amendment to the terms thereof. Provident State Bank will keep Summit fully apprised of the status of and other matters relating in any material respect to any such Acquisition Proposal on a reasonably timely basis.

(c) The PSB Board shall not (nor shall any committee thereof) withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Summit, the PSB Board Recommendation or make or cause to be made any third party or public communication proposing or announcing an intention to withdraw or modify in any manner adverse to Summit the PSB Board Recommendation (any such action, a “Change in Recommendation”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the PSB Board (including any committee thereof) may, at any time prior to obtaining the Required PSB Vote, effect a Change in Recommendation in response to a bona fide written unsolicited Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that the PSB Board (or the applicable committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the PSB Board may not make a Change in Recommendation, or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, with respect to an Acquisition Proposal until it has given Summit at least four (4) Business Days, following Summit’s initial receipt of written notice that the PSB Board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal and the reasons therefor, to respond to any such Acquisition Proposal and, taking into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Summit, the PSB Board determines in good faith (after consultation with counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit PSB or the PSB Board (or any committee thereof) from making any communication or disclosure to the PSB shareholders that the PSB Board (or applicable committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, is required under applicable law.

Section 6.3. Access to Information.

Neither PSB nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of its customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The Parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements where reasonably permitted under Applicable Legal Requirements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

In the event any subsurface or phase II site assessments are conducted (which assessments shall be at Summit’s sole expense), Summit shall indemnify PSB and its Subsidiaries for all costs and expenses associated with returning the property to its previous condition.

(f) Upon Summit’s request, PSB and Provident State Bank shall provide board packages and notices of board meetings to the Chief Executive Officer of Summit simultaneously with their submission to PSB and Provident State Bank board members, provided that information relating to PSB and Provident State Bank that would or could reasonably be expected to violate applicable law, regulation or orders, decrees or determinations of a Governmental Entity (together, “PSB Board Confidential Matters”) may be excluded therefrom. PSB and Provident State Bank shall promptly provide the Chief Executive Officer of Summit with copies of the minutes of all regular and special meetings of the board of directors of PSB and Provident State Bank and minutes of all regular and special meetings of any board or senior management committee of Provident State Bank held on or after the date of this Agreement (except PSB Board Confidential Matters).

In furtherance and not in limitation of the Parties’ obligations under this Section 6.4, each of the Parties further agrees as follows:

(i) Within sixty (60) days of the execution of this Agreement, each of PSB and Summit shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use all reasonable best efforts to prepare all necessary documentation and effect all necessary filings, applications, registrations, and notices in order to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan and no prior service credit will be granted for any purpose under such plan.

(b) Except for employees of PSB or Provident State Bank with individual agreements that provide for payment of severance under certain circumstances (who will be paid severance only in accordance with such agreements), Summit agrees that each employee of PSB or Provident State Bank who is involuntarily terminated by Summit or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for cause) concurrently with the Closing or within twelve (12) months of the Closing shall receive two weeks of severance per full year of service with PSB or Provident State Bank, as the case may be, with a minimum of four (4) weeks of severance pay and a maximum of twenty-six (26) weeks of severance pay.

(c) All persons who are employees of PSB or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and whose employment is not terminated, if any, at or prior to the Effective Time shall be employed at will, and no contractual right with respect to employment shall inure to such employees because of this Agreement, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement.

If requested in writing by Summit not less than thirty (30) days before the Closing Date, PSB will take, and will cause Provident State Bank to take, all action necessary to terminate any PSB Welfare Plan, effective no later than immediately before the Closing Date. In addition, as of the Closing Date Summit shall provide any benefits to which PSB employees or their respective spouses, former spouses or other qualifying beneficiaries may be entitled by reason of qualifying events occurring prior to, on or after the Closing Date pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, or other applicable law, from and after the Closing Date through the remaining legally-required period of coverage.

PSB shall deliver to Summit the Section 16 Information reasonably in advance of the Effective Time, and the Summit Board, or a committee of Non-Employee Directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b‑3(d) under the Exchange Act), shall reasonably promptly thereafter and in any event prior to the Effective Time adopt a resolution providing that the receipt by the PSB Insiders of Summit Common Stock in exchange for shares of PSB Common Stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby and to the extent such securities are listed in the Section 16 Information provided by PSB to Summit prior to the Effective Time, are intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act such that any such receipt shall be so exempt.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Summit’s obligations hereunder only survive for the duration of the insurance coverage that Summit is able to procure pursuant to the terms of Section 6.10(c), including the second proviso thereof.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.10(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, shall promptly notify Summit thereof; provided, that the failure so to notify shall not affect the obligations of Summit under Section 6.10(a) unless and to the extent that Summit is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Summit shall maintain director’s and officer’s liability insurance (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against present and former directors and officers of PSB and its Subsidiaries arising from facts or events that occurred before the Effective Time, which insurance shall contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous, as that coverage currently provided by PSB and its Subsidiaries; provided, that in no event shall Summit be required to expend, on an annual basis, more than 150% of the current amount expended by PSB or its Subsidiaries (the “Insurance Amount”) to maintain or procure such directors and officers insurance coverage; and provided, further, that if the amount of the annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Insurance Amount, Summit shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the most advantageous coverage available for an annual premium equal to the Insurance Amount; and provided, further, that officers and directors of PSB or its Subsidiaries may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to Summit’s insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining such insurance. Summit shall provide proof of such coverage to PSB no later than 10 days prior to the Effective Time.

(d) If Summit or its Subsidiaries or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Summit or its Subsidiaries shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.

Section 6.11. Public Announcements. Except to the extent required by Applicable Legal Requirements or the requirements of any listing agreement with or rules or regulations of Nasdaq, Summit and PSB shall use reasonable best efforts (a) to develop a joint communications plan, and (b) to provide that all press releases and other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consistent with such joint communications plan, and (c) to consult with each other before issuing any press release or, to the extent practical, otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the Bank Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition to the foregoing, except to the extent required by Applicable Legal Requirements or the requirements of any listing agreement with or rules of Nasdaq or to the extent disclosed in or consistent with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1, no Party shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or disclosure concerning the other Party or the other Party’s business, financial condition or results of operations without the consent of such other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 6.12. Tax Matters. PSB and Summit each shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, take or cause to be taken any action, whether before or after the Effective Time or the Effective Time, as the case may be, which would reasonably be expected to disqualify the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (b) PSB and Summit each agree to file all tax returns consistent with the treatment of the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Section 6.14. Litigation and Claims.

(a) PSB shall promptly notify Summit in writing of any threatened or commenced litigation, or of any claim, controversy or contingent liability that might reasonably be expected to be asserted or become the subject of litigation, against PSB or affecting any of its properties, Subsidiaries or affiliates and PSB shall promptly notify Summit of any legal action, suit or proceeding or judicial, administrative or governmental investigation, pending or, to the knowledge of PSB, threatened against PSB that questions or might question the validity of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any actions taken or to be taken by PSB pursuant hereto or seeks to enjoin, materially delay or otherwise restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) PSB shall give Summit the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against PSB or its directors or officers relating to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. PSB may not enter into any settlement agreement in respect of any shareholder litigation against PSB or its directors or officers relating to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without Summit’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). For purposes of this Section 6.14, “participate” means that Summit will be kept apprised of the proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the litigation by PSB (to the extent the attorney-client privilege, work product or other similar privilege between the litigating party and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and Summit may offer comments or suggestions with respect to the litigation but will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over the litigation except for the settlement consent set forth above.

Section 6.15. Additional Agreements.

If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only as broad as is enforceable.

(d) Director agrees that he or she will not make any unauthorized disclosure, directly or indirectly, of any Confidential Information of PSB, PSB Subsidiaries, Summit or Summit Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Disclosing Parties”) to third parties, or make any use thereof, directly or indirectly, other than in connection with the Merger or except as otherwise authorized. Director also agrees that he or she shall deliver promptly to Summit or PSB at any time at its reasonable request, without retaining any copies, all documents and other material in Director’s possession at that time relating, directly or indirectly, to any Confidential Information or other information of the Disclosing Parties, or Confidential Information or other information regarding third parties learned in such person’s position as a director, officer, employee or shareholder of PSB or PSB Subsidiaries, as applicable.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means and includes each of the Disclosing Party’s confidential and/or proprietary information and/or trade secrets, including those of their respective subsidiaries, that have been and/or will be developed or used and that cannot be obtained readily by third parties from outside sources. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the: information regarding past, current and prospective customers and investors and business affiliates, employees, contractors and the industry not generally known to the public; strategies, methods, books, records and documents; technical information concerning products, equipment, services and processes; procurement procedures, pricing and pricing techniques, including contact names, services provided, pricing, type and amount of services used; financial data; price curves; positions; plans or strategies for expansion or acquisitions; budgets; research; financial and sales data; trading methodologies and terms; communications information; evaluations, opinions and interpretations of information and data; marketing and merchandising techniques; electronic databases; models and the output from the same; specifications; computer programs; contracts; bids or proposals; technologies and methods; training methods and processes; organizational structure; personnel information, including compensation and bonuses; payments or rates paid to consultants or other service providers; other such confidential or proprietary information; and notes, analysis, compilations, studies, summaries and other material prepared by or for any Disclosing Party or any of their respective subsidiaries containing or based, in whole or in part, on any information included in any of the foregoing.

The term “Confidential Information” does not include any information that: (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is generally available to and known to the public, other than by a breach by Director of this Agreement or any other agreement between Director and a Disclosing Party; (ii) was available to Director, prior to disclosure by such Disclosing Party, as applicable, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party and is not known by Director, after reasonable investigation, to be subject to any fiduciary, contractual or legal obligations of confidentiality; or (iii) was independently acquired or developed by Director without violating any obligations of this Agreement or any other agreement between Director and a Disclosing Party.

B-4

Director acknowledges that respective businesses of the Disclosing Parties are highly competitive, that this Confidential Information constitutes valuable, special and unique assets to be acquired by Summit in the Merger and constitutes existing valuable, special and unique assets held by the Disclosing Parties pre-Merger, and that protection of such Confidential Information against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to Summit.

Section 3. Early Resolution Conference. This Agreement is understood to be clear and enforceable as written and is executed by both parties on that basis. However, should Director later challenge any provision as unclear, unenforceable or inapplicable to any competitive activity that Director intends to engage in, Director will first notify Summit in writing and meet with a Summit representative and a neutral mediator (if Summit elects to retain one at its expense) to discuss resolution of any disputes between the parties. Director will provide this notice at least 14 days before Director engages in any activity on behalf of a competing business or engages in other activity that could foreseeably fall within a questioned restriction.

Section 4. Termination. This Agreement and all obligations hereunder will terminate on the earlier of: (a) the date the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Merger Agreement; or (b) the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date.

Section 5. Injunctive Relief. Xxxxxx and Director xxxxxx acknowledge and agree that Summit and PSB will be irreparably damaged if this Agreement is not specifically enforced. Accordingly, Summit and PSB are entitled to injunctive relief restraining any violation of this Agreement by Director (without any bond or other security being required), or any other appropriate decree of specific performance. Such remedies are not to be exclusive and are in addition to any other remedy that Summit or PSB may have at law or in equity.

Section 6. Assignability. Director may not assign his or her obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Summit.

Section 7. Parties Bound. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

Section 8. Applicable Law. This Agreement is to be construed under and according to the laws of the State of West Virginia. Venue for any cause of action arising from this Agreement will be in Berkeley County, West Virginia.

Section 9. Legal Construction. If any of the provisions contained in this Agreement are for any reason held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, that provision is to be fully severable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability is not to affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement is to be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement are to remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, in lieu of that illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there is to be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

B-5

Section 10. Notice. Any and all notices, requests, instructions and other communications to be given under this Agreement may be delivered personally or by nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by mail or (except in the case of payments) by electronic mail or facsimile transmission, at the respective addresses or transmission numbers set forth below and will be effective (a) in the case of personal delivery, electronic mail or facsimile transmission, when received; (b) in the case of mail, upon the earlier of actual receipt or five business days after deposit in the United States Postal Service, first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; and (c) in the case of nationally-recognized overnight courier service, one (1) business day after delivery to such courier service together with all appropriate fees or charges and instructions for such overnight delivery.

DIRECTOR VOTING AGREEMENT

This DIRECTOR VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 9, 2022, is executed by and among Summit Financial Group, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (“Summit”), PSB Holding Corp., a Maryland corporation (“PSB”), and the undersigned shareholder of PSB (“Shareholder”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Summit and PSB have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 9, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”) (terms used herein with their initial letters capitalized and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given them in the Merger Agreement);

WHEREAS, the Merger Agreement requires that PSB deliver this Agreement to Summit;

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Summit’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Shareholder has agreed to vote Shareholder’s shares of PSB Common Stock in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; and

WHEREAS, Summit is relying on this Agreement in incurring expenses in reviewing PSB’s business, in proceeding with the filing of applications for regulatory approvals, and in undertaking other actions necessary for the consummation of the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, PSB, Summit, and Shareholders, promise, covenant and agree with each other as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Summit that:

(a) Shareholder is the registered owner or beneficial owner of, or has full voting power with respect to, the number of shares of PSB Common Stock set forth below Shareholder’s name on Shareholder’s signature page to this Agreement (the “Shares”) free and clear of all liens or encumbrances;

(b) except pursuant to this Agreement, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which Shareholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any of the Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Shares;

(c) Shareholder does not beneficially own any PSB Common Stock other than (i) the Shares, (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional shares of PSB Common Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of PSB Common Stock set forth on the signature page of this Agreement or (iii) as set forth on Shareholder’s signature page; and

(d) Shareholder has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of legal counsel prior to executing this Agreement.

C-2

2. Shareholder hereby agrees during the term of this Agreement to vote the Shares, and any additional shares of PSB Common Stock or other voting securities of PSB acquired by Shareholder after the date hereof, (a) in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby at the PSB Shareholder Meeting called for the purpose of obtaining the Required PSB Vote, and (b) against approval of any Acquisition Proposal or any other proposal made in opposition to or in competition with this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (such Acquisition Proposal or other proposal, an “Opposing Proposal”) presented at the PSB Shareholder Meeting or any other meeting of shareholders held prior or subsequent to the PSB Shareholder Meeting or for which PSB otherwise seeks the approval of PSB’s shareholders.

3. Shareholder shall not invite or seek any Opposing Proposal, support (or publicly suggest that anyone else should support) any Opposing Proposal that may be made, or ask the PSB Board to consider, support or seek any Opposing Proposal or otherwise take any action designed to make any Opposing Proposal more likely. Shareholder shall not meet or otherwise communicate with any Person that makes or is considering making an Opposing Proposal or any representative of such Person after becoming aware that the Person has made or is considering making an Opposing Proposal. Shareholder shall promptly advise PSB of each contact Shareholder or any of Shareholder’s representatives may receive from any Person relating to any Opposing Proposal or otherwise indicating that any Person may wish to participate or engage in any transaction arising out of any Opposing Proposal and shall provide PSB with all information that is reasonably requested by Summit and is reasonably available to Shareholder regarding any such Opposing Proposal or possible Opposing Proposal, unless Shareholder knows PSB has provided Summit with such information, and PSB shall in turn provide any such information to Summit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder may participate in discussions and negotiations with any Person making an Opposing Proposal with respect to such Opposing Proposal if: (i) PSB is engaging in discussions or negotiations with such Person in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Merger Agreement; and (ii) Shareholder’s negotiations and discussions are in conjunction with and ancillary to PSB’s discussions and negotiations. Shareholder shall not make any claim or join in any litigation alleging that the PSB Board is required to consider, endorse or support any Opposing Proposal or to invite or seek any Opposing Proposal.

4. While this Agreement is in effect, Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber, hypothecate, cause to be redeemed or otherwise dispose (any such transaction, a “Transfer”) of any or all Shares or any shares of PSB Common Stock subsequently acquired, (b) grant any proxy or interest in or with respect to any Shares or (c) deposit any Shares of PSB Common Stock into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any Shares of PSB Common Stock or grant any proxy with respect thereto, other than to other members of the PSB Board for the purpose of voting to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. This Section 4 shall not prohibit (w) Transfers to any member of Shareholder’s family, subject to the transferee’s agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (x) Transfers for estate and tax planning purposes, including Transfers to relatives, trusts and charitable organizations, subject to the transferee agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the delivery of such agreement to Summit, (y) Transfers to any other shareholder of PSB who has executed a copy of this Agreement on the date hereof, and (z) such Transfers as Summit may otherwise permit in its sole discretion in writing. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any shares of PSB Common Stock subsequently acquired or any interest therein in violation of this Section 4 shall be null and void.

C-3

5. Shareholder acknowledges that Summit is relying on this Agreement in reviewing the business of PSB and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation, Provident State Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”), in proceeding with the filing of applications for regulatory approvals, and in undertaking other actions necessary for the consummation of the Merger. PSB and Shareholder acknowledge that the performance of this Agreement is intended to benefit Summit and PSB.

6. This Agreement shall continue in effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms or (b) the consummation of the Merger.

7. Nothing in this Agreement shall (a) be deemed to restrict Shareholder from taking any action on behalf of PSB in the capacity of a director or officer of PSB (if applicable) that Shareholder believes is necessary to fulfill Shareholder’s duties and obligations as a director or officer (if applicable), and no such action shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement, or (b) be construed to prohibit, limit, or restrict Shareholder from exercising Shareholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director to PSB or its shareholders. Shareholder is executing this Agreement solely in his or her capacity as a shareholder of PSB.

8. Shareholder has the legal capacity, power and authority to enter into and perform all of Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting creditors rights (whether enforce in law or in equity). If Xxxxxxxxxxx is married and his or her Shares constitute community property, this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of, Shareholder’s spouse, enforceable against such spouse in accordance with its terms.

9. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by each of Summit, PSB and Shareholder.

10. For the convenience of the parties hereto, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. An email or electronic scan in “.pdf” format of a signed counterpart of this Agreement will be sufficient to bind the party or parties whose signature(s) appear thereon.

11. This Agreement, together with the Merger Agreement and the agreements contemplated thereby, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect to the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties with respect to such subject matter contained herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Merger Agreement, the terms of the Merger Agreement shall control.

12. Any and all notices, requests, instructions and other communications to be given under this Agreement may be delivered personally or by nationally recognized overnight courier service or sent by mail or (except in the case of payments) by electronic mail or facsimile transmission, at the respective addresses or transmission numbers set forth below and will be effective: (a) in the case of personal delivery, electronic mail or facsimile transmission, when received; (b) in the case of mail, upon the earlier of actual receipt or five (5) business days after deposit in the United States Postal Service, first class certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; and (c) in the case of nationally-recognized overnight courier service, one (1) business day after delivery to such courier service together with all appropriate fees or charges and instructions for such overnight delivery. The parties may change their respective addresses and transmission numbers by written notice to the other, sent as provided in this Section.

C-5

14. Shareholder recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by Shareholder of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement will cause Summit to sustain damages for which it would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and therefore the parties hereto agree that, in the event of any such breach, Summit shall be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agreements and injunctive and other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting bond or proving actual damages, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity.

C-6

18. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a provision mutually agreed to which is similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and still be valid and enforceable, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
