AGREEMENT
AND PLAN OF MERGER
AGREEMENT
AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of April 19, 2010 (this "Agreement"), among DONEGAL
ACQUISITION INC., a Delaware business corporation ("DAI"), DONEGAL FINANCIAL
SERVICES CORPORATION, a Delaware business corporation ("DFSC"), DONEGAL MUTUAL
INSURANCE COMPANY, a Pennsylvania-domiciled mutual insurance company ("DMIC"),
DONEGAL GROUP INC. ("DGI"), a Delaware business corporation, and UNION NATIONAL
FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Pennsylvania business corporation
("UNNF").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS,
the Boards of Directors of UNNF and DFSC have determined that it is in the best
interests of their respective companies and their shareholders to consummate the
strategic business combination transaction provided for in this Agreement in
which DAI shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, merge with and into UNNF with UNNF as the surviving corporation (the
"Parent Merger") and immediately thereafter UNNF shall merge with and into DFSC
(the "Subsidiary Merger" and, together with the Parent Merger, the "Mergers"),
so that DFSC is the surviving company in the Mergers (sometimes referred to in
such capacity as the "Surviving Company");
WHEREAS,
immediately after the Mergers, Union National Community Bank, a national banking
association ("UNCB") and a wholly owned subsidiary of UNNF, will merge with and
into Province Bank FSB (the "Bank Merger") a federally chartered stock savings
bank ("Province") and a wholly owned subsidiary of DFSC, with Province as the
surviving entity;
WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of DMIC has determined that it is in the best interests
of DMIC for DMIC to provide a portion of the merger consideration this Agreement
contemplates (the "Merger Consideration") to DFSC;
WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of DGI has determined that it is in the best interests of
DGI for DGI to provide a portion of the Merger Consideration this Agreement
contemplates to DFSC; and
WHEREAS,
the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in
connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the
Merger;
1
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties
and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the parties to this
Agreement hereby acknowledge, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE
I
THE
MERGERS
1.1 The
Mergers.
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the
Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the "PBCL") and the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), at the Effective Time as defined in Section 1.2,
DAI shall merge with and into UNNF and UNNF shall be the surviving corporation
in the Parent Merger. Immediately thereafter, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the DGCL, UNNF shall merge
with and into DFSC. DFSC shall be the Surviving Company in the
Subsidiary Merger, and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of
the State of Delaware. As of the Effective Time of the Subsidiary
Merger, the separate corporate existence of UNNF shall cease.
(b) The
Donegal Entities may at any time change the method of effecting the combination
and UNNF shall cooperate in such efforts, including by entering into an
appropriate amendment to this Agreement to the extent such amendment only
changes the method of effecting the business combination and does not
substantively affect this Agreement or the rights and obligations of the parties
or their respective shareholders hereunder; provided, however, that no such
change shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration
provided for in Section 1.4 of this Agreement or (ii) materially impede or delay
consummation of the transactions this Agreement contemplates.
1.2 Effective
Time.
(a) The
Parent Merger shall become effective as set forth in the articles of merger (the
"Articles of Merger") that UNNF shall file with the Secretary of State of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the certificate of merger (the "Certificate of
Merger") that DAI shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware on or before the Closing Date.
(b) The
Subsidiary Merger shall become effective as set forth in the Certificate of
Merger that UNNF and DFSC shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware on or before the Closing Date.
2
(c) The
term "Effective Time" shall mean the date and time when the Mergers become
effective as set forth in the Articles of Merger and the Certificates of
Merger. "Effective Date" shall mean the date on which the Effective
Time occurs.
1.3 Effects of the
Merger.
(a) At
and after the Effective Time, the Parent Merger shall have the effects set forth
in Sections 1921 through 1932 of the PBCL and Section 259 of the
DGCL.
(b) At
the Effective Time, the Subsidiary Merger shall have the effects set forth in
Section 1921 through 1932 of the PBCL and Section 259 of the DGCL.
(c) Directors and Executive
Officers of the Surviving Company. The directors of the
Surviving Company immediately after the Subsidiary Merger shall be the directors
of DFSC immediately prior to the Subsidiary Merger plus Xxxx X. Xxxxxx and two
other UNNF designees from among the current members of its board of directors as
selected pursuant to Section 8.13. The executive officers of the
Surviving Company immediately after the Subsidiary Merger shall be the executive
officers of DFSC immediately prior to the Merger plus Xxxx X. Xxxxxx, who shall
become a Senior Vice President of DFSC, and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, who shall become
a Vice President of DFSC.
1.4 Conversion of UNNF Capital
Stock.
(a) Subject
to the provisions of this Agreement each share of common stock, par value $.25
per share, of UNNF ("UNNF Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time, other than Treasury Shares as defined in Section
1.4(b) and shares held by DMIC or DFSC shall, by virtue of the Parent Merger, no
longer be outstanding and shall as of the Effective Time automatically be
converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive as merger
consideration (the "Merger Consideration") $5.05 in cash and 0.2134 of a share
(the "Exchange Ratio") of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of DGI
currently held by DMIC ("DGI Common Stock") and each share of 5% non-cumulative
non-voting convertible perpetual preferred stock, Series A, par value $.25 per
share, of UNNF (the "UNNF Preferred Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Parent Merger, no longer be
outstanding and shall as of the Effective Time automatically be converted into
and shall thereafter represent the right to receive as merger consideration an
amount of cash and DGI Common Stock equal to the number of shares of UNNF Common
Stock into which each share of UNNF Preferred Stock is convertible, multiplied
by the Exchange Ratio, provided, however, that Donegal Mutual has no obligation
under this Agreement to make available more than 600,000 shares (the "Stock
Amount") of DGI Common Stock as Merger Consideration.
3
(b) At
and after the Effective Time, DFSC shall cancel and retire each Treasury Share
and no cash or shares of DGI Common Stock or other consideration shall be issued
in exchange therefor. "Treasury Shares" means shares of UNNF Common
Stock held by UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary or by any of DMIC, DGI, DFSC, DAI and
Province (collectively, as the context requires, a "Donegal Entity"), other than
in a fiduciary, including custodial or agency, capacity or as a result of debts
previously contracted in good faith.
(c) At
the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of UNNF shall be closed as to
holders of UNNF Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and no
transfer of UNNF Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or
recognized. If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing
UNNF Common Stock ("Certificates") are properly presented in accordance with
Section 2.2 of this Agreement to the Exchange Agent, such Certificates shall be
canceled and exchanged for certificates representing the number of whole shares
of DGI Common Stock into which the UNNF Common Stock represented thereby was
converted in the Mergers, plus any payment for any fractional share of DGI
Common Stock without any interest thereon and any dividends or distributions to
which the holder of such Certificates is entitled pursuant to Section

(d) Each
holder of UNNF Common Stock shall have the option of enrolling the whole shares
of DGI Common Stock issuable to such shareholder upon the consummation of the
Mergers in DGI's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the "DRSP
Plan"). Each UNNF shareholder electing to enroll in the DRSP Plan
shall be issued a certificate representing the number of whole shares of DGI
Common Stock received in the Merger, and any future dividends will be reinvested
in accordance with the DRSP Plan.
(e) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of UNNF Common Stock who
would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of DGI Common Stock,
after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder or the
provision by such holder of customary affidavits and indemnification for lost or
mutilated certificates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall
receive an amount in cash, without interest, rounded to the nearest cent, equal
to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the Average Closing Price as defined
below as of the Closing Date by (b) the fraction of a share calculated to the
nearest ten-thousandth when expressed in decimal form of DGI Common Stock, to
which such holder would otherwise be entitled. No such holder shall
be entitled to dividends or other rights in respect of any such fractional
shares. "Average Closing Price" means the average closing bid price
of DGI Common Stock on NASDAQ Global Select Market ("NASDAQ") as reported in The
Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) or, if not reported therein, in another
mutually agreed upon authoritative source, for each of the 20 consecutive
trading days ending on and including the fifth such trading day prior to the

immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving
Company until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law.
1.8 Dissenting

comply with the provisions and procedures set forth in Subchapter D of Chapter
15 of the PBCL, Sections 1571 through 1580.
1.9 The Bank

Agreement (the "Bank Merger Agreement"), that provides for (i) the merger of
UNCB with and into Province (the "Bank Merger") and (ii) the change of the name

(i) DMIC
will transfer to DFSC (A) the 248,999 shares of UNNF that DMIC currently owns,
(B) 600,000 shares of Class A common stock of DGI that DMIC currently owns and
(C) that amount of cash in immediately available funds (the "DMIC Amount") that,

(ii) DGI

to any dividends or distributions payable in accordance with Section 2.2(b) and
(iv) cash in lieu of any fractional shares (such cash and certificates for

2.2 Exchange of Shares for
Merger Consideration.
(a) As
soon as practicable after the Effective Time, DGI and the stock transfer agent
of DGI (the "Exchange Agent") shall mail to each holder of record of UNNF Shares
a letter of transmittal in customary form as prepared by DFSC and reasonably
acceptable to UNNF, which shall specify, among other things, that delivery shall
be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only
upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and instructions for use
in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger
Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the UNNF
Shares represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted
pursuant to this Agreement and any dividends or distributions to which such
holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b). After the Effective
Time of the Merger, each holder of a Certificate formerly representing UNNF
Shares, other than Treasury Shares, who surrenders or has surrendered such
Certificate or provides or has provided customary affidavits and indemnification
regarding the loss or destruction of such Certificate, together with duly
executed transmittal materials to the Exchange Agent, shall, upon acceptance
thereof, be entitled to cash in the amount of $5.05 and a certificate
representing 0.2134 of one share of DGI Common Stock into which such UNNF Shares
shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.4, as well as any cash in lieu
of any fractional share of DGI Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise
be entitled and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 2.2(b). The Exchange Agent shall accept such
Certificate upon compliance with such reasonable and customary terms and
conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange
thereof in accordance with normal practices. Until surrendered as
contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate representing UNNF Shares
shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time of the Merger to evidence only
the right to receive the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional
shares into which the UNNF Shares represented by such Certificate or
Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and any
dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section
2.2(b). DFSC shall not be obligated to deliver the Merger
Consideration or any check representing cash in lieu of fractional shares and/or
declared but unpaid dividends to which any former holder of UNNF Shares is
entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders his Certificate
or Certificates or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss
or destruction of such Certificate or Certificates for exchange as provided in
this Section 2.2. If any certificate for shares of DGI Common Stock,
or any check representing cash in lieu of fractional shares or declared but
unpaid dividends, is to be issued in a name other than that in which a
Certificate surrendered for exchange is issued, the Certificate so surrendered
shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and the
person requesting such exchange shall affix any requisite stock transfer tax
stamps to the Certificate surrendered or provide funds for their purchase or
establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such taxes are not
payable.
(b) Following
surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of
the Certificates representing whole shares of DGI Common Stock issued in
exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the
amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of DGI Common Stock to
which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.4 and the amount of
dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time of
the Merger and which theretofore had become payable with respect to such whole
shares of DGI Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount
of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time
of the Merger but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender
payable with respect to such whole shares of DGI Common Stock.
7
(c) After
the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of
UNNF of the UNNF Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of UNNF Shares that occurred
prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time,
Certificates are presented to DFSC for any reason, they shall be canceled and
exchanged as provided in this Agreement. All shares of DGI Common
Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares and/or declared but unpaid dividends
issued upon the surrender for exchange of UNNF Shares or the provision of
customary affidavits and indemnification for lost or mutilated Certificates in
accordance with the terms hereof and the letter of transmittal, shall be deemed
to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such UNNF
Shares.
(d) Any
portion of the Exchange Fund, including any interest thereon, that remains
undistributed to the shareholders of UNNF following the passage of 12 months
after the Effective Time of the Merger shall be delivered to DFSC, upon demand,
and any shareholders of UNNF who have not theretofore complied with this Section
2.2 shall thereafter look only to DFSC for payment of their claim for Merger
Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of DGI Common Stock and any
unpaid dividends or distributions payable in accordance with Section
2.2(b).
(e) Neither
UNNF nor any Donegal Entity shall be liable to any holder of UNNF Shares or DGI
Common Stock, as the case may be, for such shares, or dividends or distributions
with respect thereto, or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public
official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar
law.
(f) The
Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership
with respect to the shares of DGI Common Stock held by it from time to time
hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other
distributions paid or distributed with respect to such shares of DGI Common
Stock for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.
2.3 Adjustments for Dilution and
Other Matters. If prior to the Effective Time of the Merger,
(a) DGI shall declare a stock dividend or distribution on DGI Common Stock with
a record date prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, or subdivide, split up,
reclassify or combine DGI Common Stock, or make a distribution other than a
regular quarterly cash dividend not in excess of $.60 per share on DGI Common
Stock in any security convertible into DGI Common Stock, in each case with a
record date prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, or (b) the outstanding
shares of DGI Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities, in each case
as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in DGI's
capitalization other than through a business combination transaction with
another insurance holding company or financial services company, then a
proportionate adjustment or adjustments will be made to the Exchange Ratio,
which adjustment may include, as appropriate, the issuance of securities,
property or cash on the same basis as that on which any of the foregoing shall
have been issued, distributed or paid to holders of DGI Common Stock
generally.
8
2.4 Withholding
Rights. The Exchange Agent or, subsequent to the first
anniversary of the Effective Time, DFSC, shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from any cash portion of the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of
fractional shares of DGI Common Stock, cash dividends or distributions payable
pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and any other cash amounts otherwise payable pursuant
to this Agreement to any holder of UNNF Shares such amounts as the Exchange
Agent or DFSC, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the
Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, with respect to the
making of such payment. To the extent the amounts are so withheld by
the Exchange Agent or DGI, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be
treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of
UNNF Shares in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the
Exchange Agent or DGI, as the case may be.

statements; each of such statements, including the related notes, where
applicable, complies in all material respects with applicable accounting
requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto and each of such statements, including the related notes, where
applicable, has been prepared in all material respects in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied during the periods involved, except, in each case, as
indicated in such statements or in the notes thereto. The books and
records of UNNF and the UNNF Subsidiaries have been, and are being, maintained
in all material respects in accordance with GAAP and any other applicable legal
and accounting requirements and reflect only actual transactions.
14
(b) No
agreement pursuant to which UNNF or the UNNF Subsidiaries have sold or will sell
any loans or other assets by UNNF or the UNNF Subsidiaries entitled the buyer of
such loans or other assets, unless there is material breach of a representation
or covenant by UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary, to cause UNNF or the UNNF
Subsidiaries to repurchase such loan or other assets or the buyer to pursue any
other form of recourse against UNNF or the UNNF Subsidiaries. To the
knowledge of UNNF, there is no material breach of a representation or covenant
by UNNF or the UNNF Subsidiaries in any such agreement. Except as
disclosed in the UNNF Reports, since January 1, 2007, no cash, stock or other
dividend or any other distribution with respect to the capital stock of UNNF or
any UNNF Subsidiary has been declared, set aside or paid. Except as
disclosed in the UNNF Reports, no shares of capital stock of UNNF have been
purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired, directly or indirectly, by UNNF since

foregoing.

of UNNF or a UNNF Subsidiary or independent registered public accountants,
including all means of access to and from such records, system controls, data
and information, except for any non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control
that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the
system of internal accounting controls described in the next sentence of this
Section 3.6(c). UNNF (i) has implemented and maintains a system of

under the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to UNNF,
including its consolidated Subsidiaries, is made known to the chief executive
officer and the chief financial officer of UNNF by others within those entities
and (iii) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date
of this Agreement, to UNNF's independent registered public accountants and the
audit committee of UNNF's Board of Directors (y) any significant deficiencies
and material weaknesses in the design or operation of UNNF's internal financial
reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) which are
reasonably likely to affect adversely UNNF's ability to record, process,
summarize and report financial information and (z) any fraud, whether or not
material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant
role in UNNF's internal control over financial reporting. UNNF has
previously delivered to DFSC any such disclosure described in the preceding
sentence that UNNF's management made in writing to UNNF's independent registered
public accountants and the audit committee of UNNF's Board of Directors and a
copy of all such disclosures have previously been made available to
DFSC. As of the date of this Agreement, to the knowledge of UNNF, its
chief executive officer and its chief financial officer will be able to give the
certifications required pursuant to Section 302 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act,
without qualification, when next due.

December 31, 2009, (i) neither UNNF nor any UNNF Subsidiary nor, to the
Knowledge of UNNF, any director, officer, employee, auditor, accountant or
representative of UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary, has received or otherwise had or
obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim,
whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices,
procedures, methodologies or methods of UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary or their
respective internal accounting controls, including any material complaint,
allegation, assertion or claim that UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary has engaged in
illegal accounting or auditing practices, and, to the Knowledge of UNNF, (ii) no
attorney representing UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary, whether or not employed by
UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary, has reported evidence of a material violation of

Directors of UNNF or any committee thereof or to any officer or director of

connection with the negotiation and execution and delivery of this Agreement,
carried on their respective businesses in all material respects in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practice and (ii) no Material Adverse
Effect has occurred with respect to UNNF.

"Person") or Governmental Entity that is material to UNNF and the UNNF
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case with respect to UNNF or any UNNF
Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or permits, licenses or
authorizations.

the UNNF Subsidiaries has duly and timely filed, including all applicable

required to be filed by it on or prior to the date of this Agreement, with all
such Tax Returns being accurate and complete in all material respects, has
timely paid or withheld and timely remitted all Taxes shown thereon as arising
and has duly and timely paid or withheld and timely remitted all Taxes, whether

adequately reserved against in accordance with GAAP on UNNF's consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009. All
required estimated Tax payments sufficient to avoid any material underpayment
penalties or interest have been made by or on behalf of each of UNNF and the
UNNF Subsidiaries. Neither UNNF nor any UNNF Subsidiary has granted
any extension or waiver of the limitation period for the assessment or
collection of Tax that remains in effect. There are no disputes,
audits, examinations or proceedings in progress or pending, including any notice
received of an intent to conduct an audit or examination, or claims asserted,
for Taxes upon UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary. No Government Entity has
made a claim in a jurisdiction where UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary has not filed
Tax Returns such that UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary is or may be subject to
taxation by that jurisdiction. All deficiencies asserted or
assessments made as a result of any examinations by any Governmental Entity of
the Tax Returns of, or including, UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary have been fully
paid. No issue has been raised by a Governmental Entity in any prior
examination or audit of UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary which, by application of the
same or similar principles, could reasonably be expected to result in a proposed
deficiency in respect of such Governmental Entity for any subsequent taxable
period. There are no Liens for Taxes, other than statutory liens for
Taxes not yet due and payable, upon any of the assets of UNNF or any UNNF
Subsidiary. Neither UNNF nor any UNNF Subsidiary is a party to or is
bound by any Tax sharing, allocation or indemnification agreement or
arrangement, other than such an agreement or arrangement exclusively between or
among UNNF and the UNNF Subsidiaries. Neither UNNF nor any UNNF
Subsidiary (A) has been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated
federal income Tax Return, other than a group the common parent of which was
UNNF or (B) has any liability for the Taxes of any Person, other than UNNF or
any UNNF Subsidiary, under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any similar
provision of state, local or foreign law, or as a transferee or successor, by
contract or otherwise. Neither UNNF nor any UNNF Subsidiary has been,
within the past two years or otherwise as part of a "plan or series of related
transactions" within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 as amended (the "Code") of which the Merger is also a part, or a
"distributing corporation" or a "controlled corporation" within the meaning of
Section 355(a)(1)(A) of the Code in a distribution of stock intended to qualify
for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code. No shares of
UNNF Common Stock are owned by a UNNF Subsidiary. UNNF is not and has
not been a "United States real property holding company" within the meaning of
Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the applicable period specified in Section
897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code. Neither UNNF, any UNNF Subsidiary nor
any other Person on their behalf has executed or entered into any written
agreement with, or obtained or applied for any written consents or written
clearances or any other Tax rulings from, nor has there been any written
agreement executed or entered into on behalf of any of them with any
Governmental Entity, relating to Taxes, including any IRS private letter rulings
or comparable rulings of any Governmental Entity and closing agreements pursuant
to Section 7121 of the Code or any predecessor provision thereof or any similar
provision of any applicable law, which rulings or agreements would have a
continuing effect after the Effective Time. Neither UNNF nor any UNNF
Subsidiary has engaged in a "reportable transaction," as set forth in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b), or any transaction that is the same as or
substantially similar to one of the types of transactions that the IRS has
determined to be a tax avoidance transaction and identified by notice,
regulation or other form of published guidance as a "listed transaction," as set
forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2). UNNF has made
available to DFSC complete copies of (i) all federal, state, local and foreign

the taxable periods beginning January 1, 2007 or later and (ii) any audit report
issued within the last three years relating to any Taxes due from or with
respect to UNNF or the UNNF Subsidiaries. Neither UNNF, any UNNF
Subsidiary nor DFSC as a successor to UNNF will be required to include any item
of material income in, or exclude any material item of deduction from, taxable
income for any taxable period or portion thereof ending after the Closing Date
as a result of any (i) change in method of accounting for a taxable period
ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) installment sale or open

UNNF Benefit Plans and all material UNNF Employment Agreements.
(b) With
respect to each UNNF Plan, UNNF has delivered or made available to DFSC a true,
correct and complete copy of: (i) each writing constituting a part of such UNNF
Plan, including without limitation all plan documents, current employee
communications, benefit schedules, trust agreements and insurance contracts and
other funding vehicles; (ii) the most recent Annual Report (Form 5500 Series)

(c) All
material contributions required to be made to any UNNF Plan by applicable law or
regulation or by any plan document or other contractual undertaking, and all
material premiums due or payable with respect to insurance policies funding any
UNNF Plan, for any period through the date of this Agreement have been timely
made or paid in full or, if the contributions or payments are not due on or
before the date of this Agreement, have been fully reflected on the financial
statements to the extent required by GAAP. Each UNNF Benefit Plan
that is an employee welfare benefit plan under Section 3(1) of ERISA either (i)
is funded through an insurance company contract and is not a "welfare benefit
fund" within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code or (ii) is
unfunded.
(d) With
respect to each UNNF Plan, UNNF and each UNNF Subsidiary have complied, and are
now in compliance, in all material respects, with all provisions of ERISA, the
Code and all laws and regulations applicable to such UNNF Plans and all Annual
Reports (Form 5500 Series) of UNNF, including any of its predecessors, have been
timely filed. Each UNNF Plan has been administered in all material
respects in accordance with its terms and, to the Knowledge of UNNF, there are
no pending or threatened penalties from any Governmental Entity with respect to
any such UNNF Plan. There is not now, nor do any circumstances exist
that would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any requirement for the
posting of security with respect to an UNNF Plan or the imposition of any
material lien on the assets of UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary under ERISA or the
Code. Section 3.11(d) of the UNNF Disclosure Schedule identifies each
UNNF Plan that is intended to be a "qualified plan" within the meaning of
Section 401(a) of the Code ("UNNF Qualified Plans"). The IRS has
issued a favorable determination letter with respect to each UNNF Qualified Plan
and the related trust that has not been revoked or UNNF is entitled to rely on a
favorable opinion issued by the IRS, and, to the knowledge of UNNF, there are no
existing circumstances and no events have occurred that would reasonably be
expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any UNNF Qualified Plan or
the related trust. No trust funding any UNNF Plan is intended to meet
the requirements of Code Section 501(c)(9). To the knowledge of UNNF,
none of UNNF and the UNNF Subsidiaries nor any other person, including any
fiduciary, has engaged in any "prohibited transaction" as defined in Section
4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA, which would reasonably be expected to
subject any of the UNNF Plans or their related trusts, UNNF, any UNNF Subsidiary
or any person that UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary has an obligation to indemnify,
to any material Tax or penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section
502 of ERISA.
21
(e) With
respect to each UNNF Plan that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or
Section 412 or 4971 of the Code, (i) there does not exist any accumulated
funding deficiency within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302
of ERISA, whether or not waived, and, (ii) (A) the fair market value of the
assets of such UNNF Plan equals or exceeds the actuarial present value of all
accrued benefits under such UNNF Plan whether or not vested on a termination
basis; (B) no reportable event within the meaning of Section 4043(c) of ERISA
for which the 30-day notice requirement has not been waived has occurred; (C)
all premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC") have been
timely paid in full; (D) no liability other than for premiums to the PBGC under
Title IV of ERISA has been or would reasonably be expected to be incurred by
UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary and (E) the PBGC has not instituted proceedings to
terminate any such UNNF Plan and, to UNNF's knowledge, no condition exists that
presents a risk that such proceedings will be instituted or which would
reasonably be expected to constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA for the
termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, any such UNNF
Plan, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the
aggregate, in the case of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E).
(f) (i)
No UNNF Benefit Plan is a Multiemployer Plan or a plan that has two or more
contributing sponsors at least two of whom are not under common control, within
the meaning of Section 4063 of ERISA (a "Multiple Employer Plan"); (ii) none of
UNNF and the UNNF Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has,
at any time during the last six years, contributed to or been obligated to
contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan and (iii) none of
UNNF and the UNNF Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has
incurred, during the last six years, any Withdrawal Liability that has not been
satisfied in full. There does not now exist, nor do any circumstances
exist that would reasonably be expected to result in, any Controlled Group
Liability that would be a liability of UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary following the
Effective Time, other than such liabilities that arise solely out of, or relate
solely to, the UNNF Benefit Plans. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, neither UNNF nor any UNNF Subsidiary, nor, to UNNF's knowledge,
any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, has engaged in any transaction
described in Section 4069 or Section 4204 or 4212 of ERISA.
22
(g) Except
as disclosed in Section 3.11 of the UNNF Disclosure Schedule, UNNF and the UNNF
Subsidiaries have no liability for life, health, medical or other welfare
benefits to former employees or beneficiaries or dependents thereof, except for
health continuation coverage as required by Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of
Title I of ERISA or applicable law and at no expense to UNNF and the UNNF
Subsidiaries.
(h) Neither
the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the
transactions this Agreement contemplates will, either alone or in conjunction
with any other event whether contingent or otherwise, (i) result in any payment
or benefit becoming due or payable, or required to be provided, to any director,
employee or independent contractor of UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary, (ii) increase
the amount or value of any benefit or compensation otherwise payable or required
to be provided to any such director, employee or independent contractor, (iii)
result in the acceleration of the time of payment, vesting or funding of any
such benefit or compensation or (iv) result in any amount failing to be
deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code or would be subject to an
excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or Section 409A of the
Code.
(i) No
labor organization or group of employees of UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary has made
a pending demand for recognition or certification, and there are no
representation or certification proceedings or petitions seeking a
representation proceeding presently pending or, to UNNF's knowledge, threatened
to be brought or filed, with the National Labor Relations Board or any other
labor relations tribunal or authority. Each of UNNF and the UNNF
Subsidiaries is in material compliance with all applicable laws respecting
employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, wages
and hours and occupational safety and health.
3.12 SEC Reports; Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Compliance.
(a) UNNF
has previously made available to DFSC an accurate and complete copy of each
final registration statement, prospectus, report, schedule and definitive proxy
statement filed since January 1, 2007 by UNNF with the SEC pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or the Exchange Act
(the "UNNF Reports"), on and prior to the date of this Agreement and no such
UNNF Report as of the date of such UNNF Report contained any untrue statement of
a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of
the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except that
information as of a later date but before the date of this Agreement shall be
deemed to modify information as of an earlier date. Since January 1,
2007, as of their respective dates, all UNNF Reports filed under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act complied as to form in all material respects with the
published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.
23

January 1, 2007, UNNF has been and is in compliance in all material respects
with the applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. Section

schedule of all executive officers and directors of UNNF who have outstanding
loans from UNNF or UNCB, and there has been no default on, or forgiveness or
waiver of, in whole or in part, any such loan during the three years immediately
preceding the date of this Agreement.
3.13 Compliance with Applicable
Law. Except as disclosed in Section 3.13 of the UNNF
Disclosure Schedule, UNNF and each UNNF Subsidiary hold all licenses,
franchises, permits and authorizations necessary for the lawful conduct of their
respective businesses under and pursuant to each, and, since January 1, 2007,
have complied in all respects with and are not in default in any respect under
any, applicable law, statute, order, rule, regulation, policy or guideline of
any Governmental Entity relating to UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary, including the

Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and
Obstruct Terrorist (USA Patriot) Act of 2001, the Bank Secrecy Act, the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the Temporary Loan Guaranty
Program, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and applicable
limits on loans to one borrower, except where the failure to hold such license,
franchise, permit or authorization or such noncompliance or default is not
reasonably likely to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect on UNNF.
3.14 Contracts. Except
for matters that have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on UNNF and the UNNF
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (i) none of UNNF nor any UNNF Subsidiary is, with
or without the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, in breach or
default in any material respect under any material contract, lease, license or
other agreement or instrument, (ii) to the Knowledge of UNNF, none of the other
parties to any such material contract, lease, license or other agreement or

UNNF nor any UNNF Subsidiary has received any written notice of the intention of
any party to terminate or cancel any such material contract, lease, license or
other agreement or instrument whether as a termination or cancellation for
convenience or for default of UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary.

3.15 Agreements with Bank
Regulatory Authorities. Except as set forth in Section 3.15 of
the UNNF Disclosure Schedule, neither UNNF nor any UNNF Subsidiary is subject to
any cease-and-desist order, memorandum of understanding or other order or
enforcement action issued by, or is a party to any written agreement, consent
agreement or memorandum of understanding with, or is a party to any commitment
letter or similar undertaking to, or is subject to any order or directive by, or
has been ordered to pay any civil money penalty by, or has been since January 1,
2007, a recipient of any supervisory letter from, or since January 1, 2007, has
adopted any policies, procedures or board resolutions at the request or
suggestion of any Bank Regulatory Authority or other Governmental Entity that

business, other than those of general application that apply to similarly

been advised in writing since January 1, 2007 by any Bank Regulatory Authority
or other Governmental Entity that it is considering issuing, initiating,
ordering or requesting any such UNNF Regulatory Agreement. To the

2007 that could reasonably be expected to result in a determination that UNCB is
not "well capitalized" and "well managed" as a matter of U.S. federal banking
law. UNCB has at least a "satisfactory" rating under the U.S.
Community Reinvestment Act.
3.16 Undisclosed

and (iii) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent
with past practice since December 31, 2009, neither UNNF nor any UNNF Subsidiary

serviced in all material respects in accordance with their customary lending
standards in the ordinary course of business, is evidenced in all material
respects by appropriate and sufficient documentation and, to the knowledge of
UNNF, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor named
therein, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditor's rights or by general equity principles.
(b) UNNF
has set forth in Section 3.24 of the UNNF Disclosure Schedule as to UNNF and

investment advisor, in accordance with the terms of the governing documents and
applicable laws and regulations. Neither UNNF nor any UNNF
Subsidiary, nor any of their respective directors, officers or employees, has
committed any breach of trust to UNNF's knowledge with respect to any fiduciary
account and the records for each such fiduciary account are true and correct and
accurately reflect the assets of such fiduciary account.
3.26 Allowance For Loan

date of this Agreement for its reasonably anticipated loan losses, is in
compliance with the standards established by applicable Governmental Entities
and GAAP and, to the knowledge of UNNF, is adequate.
3.27 Related Party
Transactions. Except as described in UNNF's proxy statement
distributed in connection with UNNF's annual meeting of shareholders in 2009 or
in Section 3.28 of the UNNF Disclosure Schedule, neither UNNF nor any UNNF
Subsidiary is a party to any transaction, including any loan or other credit
accommodation, with any Affiliate of UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary. All
such transactions (a) were made in the ordinary course of business, (b) were
made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral,
as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other Persons
and (c) did not involve substantially more than the normal risk of
collectability or present other unfavorable features, as such terms are used
under Item 404 of SEC Regulation S-K. No loan or credit accommodation
to any Affiliate of UNNF or any UNNF Subsidiary is presently in default or,
during the three-year period prior to the date of this Agreement, has been in
default or has been restructured, modified or extended. To the
Knowledge of UNNF, neither UNNF nor any UNNF Subsidiary has been notified that
principal and interest with respect to any such loan or other credit
accommodation will not be paid when due or that the loan grade classification
UNNF or UNCB has accorded such loan or credit accommodation is
inappropriate.

as set forth in Section 3.28 of the UNNF Disclosure Schedule, as of the date of
this Agreement, none of the deposits of UNNF or UNCB is a "brokered deposit" as
defined in 12 CFR Section 337.6(a)(2).

Schedule. The information set forth in the UNNF Disclosure
Schedule does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to

the UNNF Disclosure Schedule not misleading.

shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties
shall consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits,
consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties, Bank Regulatory
Authorities and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the
transactions this Agreement contemplates and each party will keep the other
parties apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the
transactions this Agreement contemplates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require any Donegal
Entity to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any
condition or restriction, in connection with obtaining the foregoing permits,
consents, approvals and authorizations of third parties, Bank Regulatory
Authorities or Governmental Entities, that would reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on DFSC, Province or the Surviving Company after
giving effect to the Merger, taken as a whole after the Effective Time (a
"Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition"), provided, however, in the event
of the imposition of any Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition, DFSC shall

(f) Each
of DFSC and UNNF shall promptly advise the other upon receiving any
communication from any Bank Regulatory Authority or Governmental Entity whose
consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions this

be materially delayed.
(g) UNNF
and DFSC shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with
respect to the Merger, the Bank Merger or this Agreement and shall not issue any
such press release or make any such public statements without the prior consent

press release or make such public statements as may upon the advice of outside
counsel be required by law or the rules or regulations of the SEC, the FDIC, the

state banking laws other than reports or documents that such party is not
permitted to disclose under applicable law. Neither UNNF nor DFSC,
nor any of their Subsidiaries, shall be required to provide access to or to
disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the
attorney-client privilege of such party or its Subsidiaries or contravene any
law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding
agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The
parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under
circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence
apply.

Persons who are currently covered by UNNF's directors' and officers' liability
insurance or fiduciary liability insurance policies, provided that DFSC may
substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts
containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous than such
policies of UNNF or single premium tail coverage with policy limits equal to
UNNF's existing coverage limits, provided that in no event shall DFSC be
required to expend for any one year an amount in excess of 175% of the annual
premium currently paid by UNNF for such insurance (the "Insurance Amount"), and
further provided that if DFSC is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance
called for by this Section 8.6(c) as a result of the preceding provision, DFSC
shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the most

satisfied if prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time
from an insurer or insurers that have an insurer financial strength rating by
A.M. Best Co. of at least "A-," which policies provide the Indemnified Persons
with coverage, from the Effective Time to the sixth anniversary of the Effective
Time, including in respect of the transactions this Agreement contemplates, on
terms that are no less advantageous to Indemnified Persons than UNNF's D&O
Insurance existing immediately prior to the date hereof. If such
prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, then the DFSC
shall maintain such policies in full force and effect and continue the
obligations thereunder.
56

each party and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary
action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of,
DFSC.

Changes. Each of DFSC and UNNF shall promptly advise the other
of any change or event (i) having or reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect on it or (ii) that it believes would or would be reasonably

warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that no
such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements of the parties or remedies with respect thereto or the conditions to
the obligations of the parties under this Agreement; provided, further, that a
failure to comply with this Section 8.8 shall not constitute the failure of any
condition set forth in Article IX to be satisfied unless the underlying Material
Adverse Effect or material breach would independently result in the failure of a
condition set forth in Article IX to be satisfied.

Consent. By the mutual consent in writing of DFSC and UNNF if
the Board of Directors of each so determines by vote of a majority of the

to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement such that the
conditions set forth in Sections 9.1 or 9.2(b) would not be satisfied, in either

of its obligations under this Agreement and such failure or breach with respect
to any such representation, warranty or obligation cannot be cured, or, if
curable, shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after UNNF has

2010.
65
(ii) By
UNNF, if (A) any of the representations and warranties of DFSC, DMIC or DGI
contained in this Agreement shall fail to be true and correct such that the

on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on December 31, 2010, except to
the extent that the failure of the Merger to be consummated by such date shall
be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate pursuant to this Section

forth in this Agreement.

Approval. By DFSC or UNNF, if its Board of Directors so

advising DFSC that the UNNF Board of Directors is prepared to accept a Superior
Proposal, it being agreed that the delivery of such notice shall not entitle
