AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is dated as of December 10, 2002, among Commercial National Investment Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (“CNIC”), Gooder Acquisition Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation, (“GAC”), Gooder Agency, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Gooder Agency”), Gooder & Xxxx, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“G&M”), and each of the shareholders of Gooder Agency and G&M, all of whom are listed on Exhibit A and Exhibit B hereto (the “Shareholders” and, together with Gooder and G&M, the “Gooder Parties”).

PREAMBLE

The respective Boards of Directors of CNIC, GAC, Gooder Agency and G&M have approved, and deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective shareholders to consummate, and the Shareholders have approved, the merger of GAC and G&M with and into Gooder Agency (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.  In the Merger, all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, no par value, of Gooder Agency (“Gooder Agency Common Stock”), and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, no par value, of G&M (“G&M Common Stock”), will be converted in the right to receive the amount of cash and the number of shares of common stock, par value $2.00 per share (“CNFC Common Stock”) of Commercial National Financial Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation and the sole shareholder of CNIC (“CNFC”), as set forth in Article II hereof.  CNFC has agreed to contribute to CNIC, a sufficient number of shares of CNFC Common Stock to enable the parties to consummate the Merger.

CNIC and GAC would not be willing to enter into this Agreement unless certain of the Shareholders agreed to refrain from competing with CNIC and GAC for a reasonable period of time, and accordingly such Shareholders have agreed to execute and deliver to CNIC and GAC a noncompetition agreement or an employment agreement containing noncompetition covenants.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

THE MERGER

The Merger.

  Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, GAC and G&M shall be merged with and into Gooder Agency at the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined).  Following the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of each of GAC and G&M shall cease, Gooder Agency shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of GAC and G&M in accordance with the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the “BCL”) and shall continue to be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the BCL.

Closing.

  The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m. on December 10, 2002 or such other date as may be specified by the parties in writing (the “Closing Date”), which shall be no later than the second Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, 50th Floor, Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx  00000.

Effective Time.

  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, the parties shall file articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the BCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the BCL.  The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger are duly filed with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or at such other time as CNIC and Gooder Agency shall agree should be specified in the Articles of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

Waiver of Dissenters Rights.

  Each of the Shareholders hereby waives, and agrees not to take any action to exercise or perfect, any and all dissenters rights with respect to the Merger which such Shareholder may have pursuant to Sections 1571 and 1930 of the BCL.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

The articles of incorporation of Gooder Agency, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law, provided that, at the Effective Time the registered office of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000.

The bylaws of GAC, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

Directors.

  The directors of GAC immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

Officers.

  The officers of GAC immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

CONVERSION OF SHARES

Effect on Capital Stock.

  As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of CNIC, GAC, Gooder Agency, G&M or the Shareholders:

Conversion of Gooder Agency Common Stock.

  The issued and outstanding shares of Gooder Agency Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the combination of cash and duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable shares of CNFC Common Stock (the “Gooder Agency Consideration”) as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.  As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Gooder Agency Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Gooder Agency Common Stock (a “Gooder Agency Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Gooder Agency Consideration to be issued in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Gooder Agency Certificate to CNIC at or promptly following the Effective Time.

Conversion of G&M Common Stock.

  The issued and outstanding shares of G&M Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the combination of cash and duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable shares of CNFC Common Stock (the “G&M Consideration”) as set forth on Exhibit B hereto.  As of the Effective Time, all such shares of G&M Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of G&M Common Stock (a “G&M Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the G&M Consideration to be issued in consideration therefor upon surrender of such G&M Certificate to CNIC at or promptly following the Effective Time.

Fractional Shares.

  No certificates or scrip certificates for fractional shares of CNFC Common Stock shall be issued.  Each Shareholder who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of CNFC Common Stock (after taking into account all certificates delivered by such Shareholder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount, less the amount of any withholding taxes which may be required thereon, equal to such fractional part of a share of CNFC Common Stock multiplied by the CNFC Stock Price (as hereinafter defined).

Calculation of Gooder Agency Consideration and G&M Consideration.

  The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) aggregate value of the Gooder Agency Consideration is equal to $895,654.00 (calculated based on $945,000 less the outstanding balance, as of the Closing Date, of the Gooder Agency notes payable to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Encompass), (ii) the aggregate value of the G&M Consideration is $46,647, and (iii) the per share value of the CNFC Common Stock to be issued in the Merger shall be equal to $21.477, (the “CNFC Stock Price”), which is the average of the closing sales prices for the CNFC Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the date prior to the date of this Agreement.

Delivery of Cash and CNFC Common Stock Certificates; Escrow.

  Upon the surrender by the Shareholders of the Gooder Agency Certificates and the G&M Certificates (or evidence of lost certificates pursuant to Section 2.4) to CNIC at the Closing duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in form reasonably satisfactory to CNIC, CNIC shall (i) deposit into the Escrow (as hereinafter defined), certificates representing the number of shares of CNFC Common Stock shown on Exhibits A and B as being deposited into Escrow (the “Escrow Shares”), to secure the obligations of the Shareholders under Article VIII below, and (ii) deliver to each Shareholder certificates representing the balance of the aggregate shares of CNFC Common Stock to which such Shareholder is entitled, plus the amount of cash to which such Shareholder is entitled, as set forth on Exhibits A and B.  The Escrow Shares shall be held in and released from escrow (the “Escrow”) as and to the extent provided in the Escrow Agreement among CNIC, the Shareholders and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”).

Failure to Surrender Certificates.

  Until surrendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, the Gooder Agency Certificates and G&M Certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented issued and outstanding shares of Gooder Agency Common Stock or G&M Common Stock, respectively, shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Gooder Agency Consideration or the G&M Consideration, as the case may be.

Lost Certificates.

  If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person (as hereinafter defined) claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, CNIC will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Gooder Agency Consideration or G&M Consideration, as the case may be.

No Transfers.

  At or after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Gooder Agency or G&M of the shares of Gooder Agency Common Stock or G&M Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Gooder Agency Consideration or G&M Consideration, as the case may be, pursuant to this Article II.

Effect on CNIC Capital Stock.

  Each share of common stock of GAC issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger automatically be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Cancellation of Options.

  Any and all outstanding options, warrants and other rights to purchase or acquire any shares of capital stock of Gooder Agency or G&M existing at the Effective Time shall be cancelled and of no further force and effect.

Transfer Restrictions. 

The shares of CNFC Common Stock (the “Merger Shares”) to be issued to the Shareholders will not at the time of issuance be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on the ground that the issuance thereof in the Merger is exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation D thereunder.  The parties understand that the availability of such exemption is based in part upon the imposition of restrictions on the transfer of the Merger Shares, upon certain information supplied to CNIC by the Gooder Parties and upon the representations of the Gooder Parties set forth in this Agreement.  The Merger Shares may not be transferred except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration requirements and compliance with applicable state securities law. The following legend will be placed on the certificates representing the Merger Shares:

THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT, AND, IF AN EXEMPTION SHALL BE APPLICABLE, THE HOLDER SHALL HAVE DELIVERED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

GAC may instruct CNFC’s transfer agent to place stop transfer orders against any transfer of the Merger Shares in violation of this Section 2.8.

Waiver of Rights

  Gooder Agency and the Shareholders each waives any and all preemptive rights, rights of first refusal and other similar rights which they may have to acquire the Gooder Agency Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement dated June 26, 1986 by and among the Shareholders and Gooder Agency, as amended, or any other agreement to which any of them are a party.

No Solicitation.

From and after the date of this Agreement, the Gooder Parties shall not, nor shall they authorize or permit any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents and representatives, including without limitation, any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other advisor or representative retained by any of them (the Gooder Parties, their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives being the “Gooder Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly through another Person, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage, any inquiries or the making of a proposal which constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (as hereinafter defined), (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations, or furnish any information or data to any third party, regarding any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) enter into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or approve any Acquisition Proposal.

Except as otherwise permitted by subsection (c) below, each party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the other party, disclose or use for its own benefit any Confidential Information of the other party.

Notwithstanding subsection (b) above, each of the parties shall be permitted to:

disclose Confidential Information of the other party to its officers, directors, employees, equity holders, lenders, agents, accountants, attorneys and Affiliates, but only to the extent reasonably necessary in order for such party to perform its obligations and exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement, and such party shall take all such action as shall be necessary or desirable in order to ensure that each of such Persons maintains the confidentiality of any Confidential Information that is so disclosed;

make additional disclosures of or use for its own benefit Confidential Information of the other party, but only if and to the extent that such disclosures or use are specifically contemplated by this Agreement; and

Reasonable Efforts.

  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties agree to take all responsible actions necessary in order to (a) obtain any consent or approval of any third party, including without limitation any Governmental Entity, which is required in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) comply with the requirements of federal and state securities and Blue Sky laws with respect to the Merger Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement.

INDEMNIFICATION

Survival of Representations and Warranties.

  The representations and warranties of the Gooder Parties contained in Articles III and IV shall survive the Closing.

Indemnification.

  The Shareholders, jointly and severally, shall indemnify CNIC, GAC  and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (the “Indemnified Parties”) against, and agree to hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, losses, costs, claims, damages (including consequential damages), penalties and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs of investigation and litigation) (“Losses”) incurred or suffered by them relating to or arising out of or in connection with any of the following:

(a)         any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by any of the Gooder Parties in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other document delivered at the Closing;

(b)         any breach of or failure by any of the Gooder Parties to perform any covenant or obligation of such parties set out or contemplated in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other document delivered at the Closing; and

(c)         except to the extent reserved for or otherwise accrued (excluding reserves for deferred Taxes) on the Financial Statements, any and all Taxes of the Gooder Parties that accrued or that relate to a period ending on or prior to the Effective Date, including but not limited to (i) any Taxes imposed on the Gooder Parties as a result of the Merger, (ii) any Losses of Gooder Agency or G&M under any Tax allocation, sharing, indemnification or similar arrangement, whether or not written, (iii) any Losses resulting from the termination of Gooder Agency or G&M as a member of any consolidated, affiliated, combined, unitary or other similar Tax group, or (iv) any Taxes imposed on Gooder Agency or G&M under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous state, local or foreign Tax provision, as a result of being a member of a consolidated, affiliated, combined, unitary or other similar Tax group for any taxable period commencing before the Closing Date (in each case without regard to any information provided on the Disclosure Schedule or otherwise disclosed or made available to, whether in writing or otherwise, or known by, any Indemnified Party). 

Claims.

  The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall be subject to Section 8.4.  As soon as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party claiming indemnification shall promptly give notice to the Shareholders and the Escrow Agent of such claim and the amount the Indemnified Party will be entitled to receive hereunder from the Indemnifying Parties; provided, however that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of their obligations under this Article VIII, except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Parties shall have been prejudiced thereby.  If the Indemnifying Parties do not object in writing to such indemnification claim within 30 calendar days of receiving notice thereof, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party and the Escrow Agent within five Business Days after such 30 day period, the amount of such claim (but such recovery shall not limit the amount of any additional indemnification to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3). If the Indemnifying Parties agree that they have an indemnification obligation, but object in writing that they are obligated to pay only a lesser amount, the Indemnified Party shall nevertheless be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Parties and the Escrow Agent within five Business Days of the receipt of such objection, the lesser amount, without prejudice to the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference.

Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense.

  The Indemnified Party shall give notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable to the Indemnifying Parties and the Escrow Agent of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding, by any person not a party hereto in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement; provided, however that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of their obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Parties shall have been prejudiced thereby.  The Indemnifying Parties may, at their own expense participate in the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding, provided, however that (i) the Indemnifying Parties’ counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and (ii) the Indemnifying Parties shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Party upon the Indemnified Party’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding.  If the Indemnifying Parties assume such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate as counsel of record in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Parties.  If, however, the Indemnified Parties reasonably determine in their judgment that representation by the Indemnifying Parties’ counsel of both the Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then such Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Parties shall pay the fees and disbursements of such separate counsel.  Whether or not the Indemnifying Parties choose to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

Settlement or Compromise.

  Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Parties, as the case may be, of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to in Section 8.4 shall also be binding upon the Indemnifying Parties or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, however that no obligation, restriction or Loss shall be imposed on the Indemnified Party as a result of such settlement without its prior written consent.  The party defending the claim shall give the other party at least 30 calendar days’ notice of any proposed settlement or compromise of any claim, suit, action or proceeding it is defending, during which time the other party may reject such proposed settlement or compromise; provided, however that from and after such rejection, the other party shall be obligated to assume the defense of and full and complete liability and responsibility for such claim, suit, action or proceeding and shall be responsible for any and all Losses in connection therewith in excess of the amount of the proposed settlement amount.

Failure of Indemnifying Person to Act.

  In the event that the Indemnifying Parties do not elect to assume the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding, then any failure of the Indemnified Party to defend or to participate in the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding or to cause the same to be done, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of their obligations hereunder.

Escrow.

  If during the duration of the Escrow Agreement, an Indemnified Party is entitled to receive an indemnification amount from the Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, such amount shall be satisfied to the extent possible by a transfer to the Indemnified Party by the Escrow Agent of a portion of the Escrow Shares, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The number of shares of CNFC Common Stock to be transferred by the Escrow Agent to the Indemnified Party shall be based on a value of per share equal to the CNFC Stock Price.  Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the remaining balance of the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Shareholders on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Termination Date”), except if and to the extent claims have been asserted by CNFC against the Shareholders, in which case an appropriate portion of the Escrow Shares shall remain in Escrow until such claims are finally resolved.

TERMINATION AND EXPENSES

Termination.

  This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time:

by mutual agreement of CNIC and Gooder Agency;

by either CNIC or Gooder Agency if the Merger shall not have been consummated by December 31, 2002 for any reason; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to be consummated on or before such date;

by the Gooder Parties, if CNIC or GAC shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(b), and (ii) is incapable of being cured by CNFC or CNIC within 30 calendar days following receipt of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Gooder Parties; or

by CNIC, if any of the Gooder Parties shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b), and (ii) is incapable of being cured by the Gooder Parties within 30 calendar days following receipt of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from CNFC.

Effect of Termination.

  In the event of termination of  this Agreement by either the Gooder Parties or CNIC as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of CNIC, GAC or the Gooder Parties, except to the extent that such termination results from the breach by a party hereto of any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this Agreement; and except to the extent that such termination results from the willful and material breach by a party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

Expense.

Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) below, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of advisers, accountants and legal counsel) shall be paid by the party incurring such expense.

In the event that CNIC shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(d), the Gooder Parties shall reimburse CNIC and GAC for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by CNIC and GAC in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its advisors, accountants and legal counsel).

In the event that Gooder Agency shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c), CNIC shall reimburse the Gooder Parties for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Gooder Parties in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its advisors, accountants and legal counsel).
