Section 3.25 Code Sections 280G, 409A and 4999. No payment that is owed or may become due to any director, officer, employee or agent of the Bank will be nondeductible to the Bank (or, following the Merger, Landmark) or subject to tax under Section 280G, Section 409A or Section 4999 of the Code, nor will the Bank (or, following the Merger, Landmark) be required to “gross up” or otherwise compensate any such person because of the imposition of any tax or excise tax on a payment to such person. Except to the extent required under Section 601 et seq. of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code, and except as set forth on Schedule 3.25, the Bank does not provide health or welfare benefits to any active employee following such employee’s retirement or other termination of service.

Section 3.26 Disclosure. Neither any representation nor warranty of the Bank or Wellsville in, nor any Schedule to, this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No notice given pursuant to Section 5.8 will contain any untrue statement or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein or in this Agreement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Article 4

Representations and Warranties of Landmark

Landmark hereby represents and warrants to the Bank and Wellsville that the following are true and correct as of the Agreement Date, and will be true and correct as of the Effective Time:

Section 4.1 Landmark Organization. Landmark is a National Banking Association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States and has full power and authority, corporate and otherwise, to own, operate and lease its properties as presently owned, operated and leased, and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or the properties or assets owned or leased by it makes such qualification necessary.

Section 4.2 Authorization; Enforceability.

(a) Landmark has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Landmark, and the consummation by it of its obligations under this Agreement, have been authorized by all necessary actions, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Landmark enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

(b) Except for ordinary corporate requirements, no “business combination,” “moratorium,” “control share” or other state anti-takeover statute or regulation or any provisions contained in the articles of association or bylaws of Landmark: (i) prohibits or restricts Landmark’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or its ability to consummate the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) would have the effect of invalidating or voiding this Agreement, or any provision hereof; or (iii) would subject the Bank or Wellsville to any material impediment or condition in connection with the exercise of any of their respective rights under this Agreement. The execution of, and performance by Landmark of its obligations under, this Agreement have received the unanimous approval of the board of directors of Landmark.

Section 4.3 No Conflict. To the Knowledge of Landmark, neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation or performance of any of the Contemplated Transactions will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time): (a) contravene, conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the articles of association or bylaws, each as in effect on the Agreement Date, or any currently effective resolution adopted by the board of directors of Landmark or of LBI, as its sole stockholder; or (b) contravene, conflict with or result in a violation of, or give any Regulatory Authority or other Person the valid and enforceable right to challenge any of the Contemplated Transactions or to exercise any remedy or obtain any relief under, any Legal Requirement or any Order to which Landmark, or any of its assets that are owned or used by it, may be subject, except for any contravention, conflict or violation that is permissible by virtue of obtaining the regulatory approvals necessitated by the Contemplated Transactions, including any such approvals under the FDIA, the BHCA, the National Bank Act, the KGCC and the Kansas Code. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.3, Landmark is not, and will not be, required to give any notice to or obtain any consent from any Person in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation or performance of any of the Contemplated Transactions except such approvals of the Regulatory Authorities that are required by law or regulation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the approval of LBI as its sole stockholder.

Section 4.4 Approval Delays. To the Knowledge of Landmark, there is no reason why the granting of any of the regulatory approvals referred to in Section 7.1 would be denied or unduly delayed. Landmark’s CRA rating is “satisfactory” or better.

Section 4.5 Financial Resources. Landmark will have sufficient cash available on the Closing to enable it to comply with its obligation to deliver the Merger Consideration and to perform its other obligations under this Agreement.

Section 4.6 Disclosure. Neither any representation nor warranty of Landmark in this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No notice given pursuant to Section 7.1 will contain any untrue statement or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, or in this Agreement, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

Article 5

Covenants of the Bank and Wellsville

Section 5.1 Access and Investigation.

(a) Landmark and its Representatives shall, at all times during normal business hours and with reasonable advance notice prior to the Closing, have full and continuing access to the facilities, operations, records and properties of the Bank in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Landmark and its Representatives may, prior to the Closing, make or cause to be made such reasonable investigation of the operations, records and properties of the Bank and of its financial and legal condition as Landmark shall deem necessary or advisable to familiarize itself with such records, properties and other matters; provided, however, that such access or investigation shall not interfere unnecessarily with the normal operations of the Bank. Upon request, the Bank will furnish Landmark or its Representatives, attorneys’ responses to auditors’ requests for information regarding the Bank, and such financial and operating data and other information reasonably requested by Landmark (provided, with respect to attorneys, such disclosure would not result in the waiver by the Bank of any claim of attorney-client privilege), and will permit Landmark and its Representatives to discuss such information directly with any individual or firm performing auditing or accounting functions for the Bank, and such auditors and accountants shall be directed to furnish copies of any reports or financial information as developed to Landmark or its Representatives. No investigation by Landmark or any of its Representatives shall affect the representations and warranties made by the Bank and Wellsville. This Section shall not require the disclosure of any information the disclosure of which to Landmark would be prohibited by any Legal Requirement.

(b) The Bank and Wellsville shall allow a Representative of Landmark to attend as an observer all meetings of their respective boards of directors and committees of the boards of directors of the Bank and Wellsville, including any meeting of the loan committee and asset liability management committee of either the Bank or Wellsville. The Bank and Wellsville shall give reasonable notice to Landmark of any such meetings and, if known, the agenda for or business to be discussed at such meetings. The Bank and Wellsville shall provide to Landmark all information provided to the directors on all such boards or members of such committees in connection with all such meetings or otherwise provided to the directors or members, and shall provide any other financial reports or other analysis prepared for senior management of the Bank or Wellsville, in each case excluding information which is privileged or is subject to any restriction on disclosure. It is understood by the parties that Landmark’s Representative will not have any voting rights with respect to matters discussed at these meetings and that Landmark is not managing the business or affairs of either the Bank or Wellsville. All information obtained by Landmark at these meetings shall be treated in confidence as required by Section 11.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landmark shall not be permitted to attend any portion of a meeting, and the Bank and Wellsville shall not be required to provide Landmark with any materials, in violation of applicable law or that relates to an Acquisition Transaction (as defined below), except for information to be provided as required by Section 5.9, or that involve matters protected by the attorney-client privilege.

Section 5.2 Operation of the Bank. Except with the prior written consent of Landmark, between the Agreement Date and the Closing, the Bank will, and Wellsville shall cause the Bank to:

(a) conduct its business only in the Ordinary Course of Business;

(b) use its Best Efforts to preserve intact the current business organization of the Bank, keep available the services of the current officers, employees and agents of the Bank, and maintain the goodwill of suppliers, customers, landlords, creditors, employees, agents and others who have business relationships with the Bank;

(d) enter into loan transactions only in accordance with sound credit practices and only on terms and conditions that are not materially more favorable than those available to the borrower from competitive sources in arm’s-length transactions, and in that connection, from the Agreement Date to the Closing, shall not:

(i) enter into any new credit or new lending relationships in excess of $25,000 to any Person and such Person’s Borrowing Affiliate (as defined below); or

(ii) other than incident to a reasonable loan restructuring, extend additional credit to any Person and any director or officer of, or any owner of a ten percent (10%) or greater equity interest in, such Person (any of the foregoing with respect to a Person being referred to as a “Borrowing Affiliate”) if such Person or such Borrowing Affiliate is the obligor under any indebtedness to the Bank which constitutes a nonperforming loan or against any part of such indebtedness the Bank has established loss reserves or any part of which has been charged-off by the Bank;

provided, however, that the Bank shall be permitted to make any loan that is otherwise prohibited by this subsection with the prior written consent of Landmark, or if the Bank has made a written request for permission to make an otherwise prohibited loan and has provided Landmark with all information necessary for Landmark to make an informed decision with respect to such request, and Landmark has failed to respond to such request within five (5) Business Days after Landmark’s receipt of such request and all such information;

(e) consistent with past practice, maintain an allowance for possible loan and lease losses which is adequate in all material respects under the requirements of GAAP to provide for possible losses, net of recoveries relating to loans previously charged off, on loans outstanding (including accrued interest receivable), and charge-off any loans or leases that would be deemed uncollectible in accordance with GAAP or any Legal Requirements and place on nonaccrual any loans or leases that are past due greater than ninety (90) days;

(f) maintain all of its assets necessary for the conduct of its business in good operating condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or unavoidable casualty excepted, and maintain policies of insurance upon its assets and with respect to the conduct of its business in amounts and kinds comparable to that in effect on the Agreement Date and pay all premiums on such policies when due;

(g) not buy or sell any security held, or intended to be held, for investment, but such restriction shall not affect the buying and selling by the Bank of Federal Funds or the reinvestment of dividends paid on any securities owned by the Bank as of the Agreement Date;

(h) not declare or pay any dividends or make any other similar distributions of cash or property to Wellsville or any of the Bank’s directors, officers, or employees, other than regular salary or other earned compensation; provided, however, that Landmark shall not unreasonably refuse its consent to any proposed dividend or other similar distribution so long as following such dividend or distribution the Adjusted Stockholders’ Equity would remain greater than or equal to the Minimum Adjusted Stockholders’ Equity (as defined in Section 8.9(b) hereof); provided further that, the foregoing notwithstanding: (i) the Bank may distribute to Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxx the property set forth on Schedule 5.2; and (ii) the Bank shall transfer to Wellsville any life insurance policies related to the Salary Continuation Agreement between the Bank and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, dated January 1, 1987, and the Executive Salary Continuation Agreement between the Bank and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, dated January 1, 1997, as well as any life insurance policies owned by the Bank insuring the life of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxxx;

(i) not incur any financial obligation to any financial advisor, valuation expert or similar consultant if the Bank will be liable for the fees payable to any such consultant, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the retention by the Bank of any such consultant so long as any fees or expenses associated therewith are paid by Wellsville;

(j) file in a timely manner all required filings with all Regulatory Authorities and cause such filings to be true and correct in all material respects;

(k) maintain its books, accounts and records in the Ordinary Course of Business, on a basis consistent with prior years;

(l) comply with all Legal Requirements and Contracts; and

(m) report periodically to Landmark concerning the status of the business, operations and finances of the Bank.

Section 5.3 Negative Covenant. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, between the Agreement Date and the Closing, neither the Bank nor Wellsville will, without the prior written consent of Landmark, take any affirmative action, or fail to take any reasonable action within its control, as a result of which any of the changes or events listed in Section 3.15 is likely to occur.

Section 5.4 Subsequent Bank Financial Statements. As soon as available after the Agreement Date, the Bank will furnish Landmark copies, when available, of any annual financial statements of the Bank, and the Call Reports of the Bank for each quarterly or annual period completed after the Agreement Date, and all other financial reports or statements submitted after the Agreement Date by the Bank to any Regulatory Authority, to the extent permitted by law (collectively, the “Subsequent Bank Financial Statements”). Except as may be required by changes in GAAP effective after the Agreement Date, the Subsequent Bank Financial Statements shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past accounting practices and shall fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations for the dates and periods presented. The Subsequent Bank Financial Statements will not include any material assets or omit to state any material liabilities, absolute or contingent, or other facts, which inclusion or omission would render such Subsequent Bank Financial Statements misleading in any material respect.

Section 5.5 Title to Real Estate. As soon as practical, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the Agreement Date, the Bank shall obtain at its own expense and deliver to Landmark, with respect to all real estate owned by the Bank (excluding any “Other Real Estate Owned,” the “Bank Real Estate”), an owner’s preliminary report of title covering a date subsequent to the Agreement Date, issued by such title insurance company as is reasonably acceptable to Landmark, showing fee simple title in the Bank in such real estate with coverage over all standard exceptions and subject to no liens, mortgages, security interests, encumbrances or charges of any kind except for the Permitted Exceptions.

Section 5.6 Surveys. Landmark may, in its reasonable discretion, within forty-five (45) days after the Agreement Date, request the Bank to provide at the Bank’s expense and deliver to Landmark a current ALTA survey of each parcel of Bank Real Estate disclosing no survey defects that would materially impair the use thereof for the purposes for which it is held or materially impair the value of such property.

Section 5.7 Environmental Investigation.

(a) Landmark may, in its reasonable discretion, within forty-five (45) days of the Agreement Date, request the Bank to provide at Landmark’s expense a Phase 1 environmental site assessment (the “Phase 1 Report”) conducted by an independent professional consultant reasonably acceptable to Landmark to determine if any Bank Real Estate contains or gives evidence that any violations of Environmental Laws have occurred on any such property. If the Phase 1 Report discloses any material adverse environmental conditions, or reports a reasonable suspicion thereof, then the Bank shall promptly obtain, at the Bank’s expense, a Phase 2 environmental report with respect to any affected property, which report shall contain an estimate of the cost of any remediation or other follow-up work that may be necessary to address those conditions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (the “Phase 2 Report,” and collectively referred to with the Phase 1 Report, as the “Environmental Report”). Landmark shall have no duty to act for the benefit of the Bank or any other Person upon any information produced by the Environmental Report, but shall provide such information to the Bank as soon as practicable after such information becomes available to Landmark.

(b) Upon receipt of the estimate of the costs of all follow-up work to the Environmental Report, Landmark and the Bank shall attempt to agree upon a course of action for remediation of any environmental condition suspected, found to exist, or that would tend to be indicated by the Environmental Report. The estimated total cost for completing all necessary work plans or removal or remediation actions is referred to collectively as the “Remediation Cost.” If the Remediation Cost exceeds $50,000, Landmark may, at its sole option, terminate this Agreement. If the Remediation Cost is less than $50,000, such cost shall be subtracted from the aggregate value of the Merger Consideration.

Section 5.8 Advice of Changes. Between the Agreement Date and the Closing, the Bank and Wellsville shall promptly notify Landmark in writing if either becomes aware of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a Breach of any of their respective representations and warranties as of the Agreement Date, or if either the Bank or Wellsville becomes aware of the occurrence after the Agreement Date of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a Breach of any such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition. If any such fact or condition would require any change in the Schedules if such Schedules were dated the date of the occurrence or discovery of any such fact or condition, the Bank or Wellsville, as applicable, will promptly deliver to Landmark a supplement to the Schedules specifying such change. During the same period, the Bank and Wellsville will promptly notify Landmark of the occurrence of any Breach of any covenant of the Bank or Wellsville in this Agreement or of the occurrence of any event that might reasonably be expected to make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article 8 impossible or unlikely.

Section 5.9 Other Offers.

(a) Until such time, if any, as this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 10, the Bank and Wellsville will not, and will cause their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiries or proposals from, discuss or negotiate with, provide any nonpublic information to, or consider the merits of any unsolicited inquiries or proposals from, any Person (other than Landmark) relating to any Acquisition Transaction (as defined below) or a potential Acquisition Transaction involving either the Bank or Wellsville. Notwithstanding such foregoing restriction, the Bank and Wellsville may provide information at the request of, or enter into negotiations with, a third party with respect to an Acquisition Transaction if the board of directors of the Bank or Wellsville, as applicable, determines, in good faith, that the exercise of its fiduciary duties to its stockholder(s) under applicable law, as advised by its counsel, requires it to take such action, and, provided further, that the Bank and Wellsville may not, in any event, provide to such third party any information which has not been provided to Landmark. The Bank or Wellsville, as applicable, shall promptly notify Landmark orally and in writing in the event it receives any such inquiry or proposal and shall provide reasonable detail of all relevant facts relating to such inquiries, along with a summary of the advice provided by its counsel.

(b) “Acquisition Transaction” shall, with respect to either the Bank or Wellsville, mean any of the following: (i) a merger or consolidation, or any similar transaction (other than the Merger) of any organization with it; (ii) a purchase, lease or other acquisition of all or substantially all its assets; (iii) a purchase or other acquisition of “beneficial ownership” by any “person” or “group” (as such terms are defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or otherwise) that would cause such person or group to become the beneficial owner of securities representing twenty percent (20%) or more of its voting power; (iv) a tender or exchange offer to acquire securities representing twenty percent (20%) or more of its voting power; (v) a public proxy or consent solicitation made to its stockholder(s) seeking proxies in opposition to any proposal relating to any aspect of the Contemplated Transactions that has been recommended by the respective boards of directors of the Bank and Wellsville; (vi) the filing of an application or notice with any Regulatory Authority (which application has been accepted for processing) seeking approval to engage in one or more of the transactions referenced in clauses (i) through (iv) above; or (vii) the making of a bona fide proposal to it or its stockholder(s), by public announcement or written communication, that is or becomes the subject of public disclosure, to engage in one or more of the transactions referenced in clauses (i) through (v) above.

Section 5.10 Wellsville Stockholders’ Meeting. Wellsville shall cause a meeting of its stockholders to be held at the earliest practicable date, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the Agreement Date (the “Meeting Date”), for the purpose of acting upon this Agreement. In connection with such stockholders’ meeting and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, Wellsville shall send to its stockholders at least twenty (20) days prior to such meeting, notice of such meeting together with a proxy statement (the “Wellsville Proxy Statement”), which shall include a copy of this Agreement. In advance of mailing the Wellsville Proxy Statement, Wellsville shall provide Landmark and its counsel with a copy of the Wellsville Proxy Statement and provide Landmark and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon. Wellsville and its board of directors shall recommend to the Wellsville Stockholders the approval of this Agreement and the Merger, shall solicit from the Wellsville Stockholders proxies voting only in favor thereof, and shall not withdraw, modify or change, in any manner adverse to Landmark, or publicly announce its intent to withdraw, modify or change, in any manner adverse to Landmark, such recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger; provided, however, that Wellsville shall not be required to make the recommendation required by this Section 5.10, and shall be permitted to withdraw, modify or change such recommendation, if the board of directors of Wellsville determines, in good faith, that the exercise of its fiduciary duties to the Wellsville Stockholders under applicable law, as advised by its counsel, so requires. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the failure of Wellsville to comply with the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to have a Material Adverse Effect on Landmark’s rights under this Agreement.

Section 5.11 Information Provided to Landmark. The Bank and Wellsville agree that the information concerning the Bank and Wellsville that is provided or to be provided by the Bank or Wellsville to Landmark for inclusion in any documents to be filed with any Regulatory Authority in connection with the Contemplated Transactions will, at the respective times such documents are filed, not be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

Section 5.12 Amendment or Termination of Employee Benefit Plans. The Bank and Wellsville shall take such action, and shall provide written evidence of such action, as may be necessary to amend, terminate or have Wellsville assume the liability for each of the following immediately prior to closing: (a) the Bank’s 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust; (b) the Salary Continuation Agreement between the Bank and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, dated January 1, 1987; and (c) the Executive Salary Continuation Agreement between the Bank and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, dated January 1, 1997. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, upon the written request of Landmark, the Bank and Wellsville shall take such action as may be necessary to amend or terminate any other Bank Employee Benefit Plan on or before the Closing on terms reasonably acceptable to Landmark; provided, however, that neither the Bank nor Wellsville shall be obligated to take any such requested action that is irrevocable until immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 5.13 Data and Item Processing Agreements. The Bank agrees to consult with Landmark prior to the entry by it, either through action or inaction, into any new, or any extension of any existing, data or item processing agreements. The Bank agrees to coordinate with Landmark the negotiation of any new or extension of any existing data or item processing agreement, with the purpose of achieving the best possible economic and business result in light of the Merger. The Bank further agrees to cause Xxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc. to deliver a certificate or agreement acceptable to Landmark, executed by the President or any Vice President of Xxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc., stating (a) the early termination fees for terminating any and all Contracts with Xxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc. as of Landmark’s scheduled data conversion date (the “Early Termination Fee”) and (b) that the deconversion costs provided for under any and all Contracts between the Bank and Xxxx Xxxxx & Associates, Inc. resulting from, or relating in any way to, the Merger will not exceed $30,000.

Section 5.14 Tax Matters. The Bank shall not make any election inconsistent with prior Tax Returns or elections or settle or compromise any liability with respect to Taxes without prior written notice to Landmark. The Bank shall timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed prior to the Closing; provided, however, that each such Tax Return shall be delivered to Landmark for its review at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the anticipated date of filing of such Tax Return.

Section 5.16 Voting Agreement. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Bank shall deliver to Landmark a voting agreement in the form of Exhibit B that governs the voting of shares of Wellsville Stock representing not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the outstanding shares of the Wellsville Stock and is signed by Wellsville Stockholders with the power to vote all such shares.

Section 6.1 Advice of Changes. Between the Agreement Date and the Closing, Landmark shall promptly notify the Bank and Wellsville in writing if Landmark becomes aware of any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a Breach of any of Landmark’s representations and warranties as of the Agreement Date, or if Landmark becomes aware of the occurrence after the Agreement Date of any fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a Breach of any such representation or warranty had such representation or warranty been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact or condition. During the same period, Landmark will promptly notify the Bank and Wellsville of the occurrence of any Breach of any covenant of Landmark in this Agreement or of the occurrence of any event that might reasonably be expected to make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article 9 impossible or unlikely.

Section 6.2 Information Provided to the Bank or Wellsville. Landmark agrees that none of the information concerning Landmark that is provided or to be provided by Landmark to the Bank or Wellsville for inclusion or that is included in the Wellsville Proxy Statement and any other documents to be filed with any Regulatory Authority in connection with the Contemplated Transactions will, at the respective times such documents are filed and, with respect to the Wellsville Proxy Statement, when mailed, be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landmark shall have no responsibility for the truth or accuracy of any information with respect to the Bank, Wellsville or any of their respective Affiliates contained in the Wellsville Proxy Statement or in any document submitted to, or other communication with, any Regulatory Authority.

Landmark will treat, and cause the applicable benefit plans to treat, the service of the Bank Employees with the Bank attributable to any period before the Effective Time as service rendered to Landmark or any Affiliate of Landmark for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and for other appropriate benefits, including applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation and accrual of vacation time and sick leave, but not other benefit accruals, eligibility for early retirement and eligibility for retiree welfare benefit plans, attributable to any period before the Effective Time.

No provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on the rights to amend, modify or terminate after the Effective Time any such plans or arrangements of Landmark or any Affiliate of Landmark.

Section 8.1 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties of the Bank and Wellsville set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct with the same force and effect as if all of such representations and warranties were made at the Closing (provided, however, that to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, such representations shall be true and correct on and as of such earlier date), except for any untrue or incorrect representations or warranties that individually or in the aggregate do not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Bank or on Landmark’s rights under this Agreement.

Section 8.2 The Bank’s and Wellsville’s Performance. Each of the Bank and Wellsville shall have performed or complied with all of the covenants and obligations to be performed or complied with by it under the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the Closing, except where any nonperformance or noncompliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Bank or on Landmark’s rights under this Agreement.
