This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of August 30, 2006 (as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among
Conestoga Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Conestoga”), Conestoga Bank, a
Pennsylvania bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Conestoga (“Conestoga Bank”), FP
Acquisition Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Conestoga
(“Merger Sub”), and PSB Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“PSB”).
BACKGROUND
The respective Boards of Directors of each of Conestoga, Merger Sub and PSB have determined
that it is in the best interests of their respective companies to consummate the business
combination transaction provided for herein in which Merger Sub would merge with and into PSB with
PSB being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and such Boards of Directors have
approved the Merger (and, in the case of the Board of Directors of PSB, have declared this
Agreement advisable and recommended that it be adopted by PSB’s shareholders), upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
The parties contemplate that promptly after the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined): (i)
PSB will merge with and into Conestoga, with Conestoga surviving the merger (the “Parent/Sub
Merger”) in accordance with the plan of merger attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the
“Parent/Sub Plan of Merger”), and (ii) First Penn Bank (“First Penn Bank”), a
Pennsylvania-chartered bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSB, will merge with and into
Conestoga Bank, with Conestoga Bank surviving such merger (the “Bank Merger”) in accordance
with the plan of merger attached hereto as Exhibit 2 (the “Bank Plan of Merger”).
The parties intend that: (i) the Merger will be treated for federal income tax purposes as a
purchase by Conestoga for cash of all of the issued and outstanding stock of PSB, that the Merger
will be a “qualified stock purchase” within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (the
“Code”) section 338(d)(3), and that this Agreement will constitute a plan of merger with
respect thereto; (ii) the subsequent Parent/Sub Merger will qualify as either (or as both) a
tax-free liquidation of PSB within the meaning of Code section 332 and/or a reorganization within
the meaning of Code section 368(a), and that this Agreement, together with the Parent/Sub Plan of
Merger, will constitute a plan of liquidation and/or plan of reorganization with respect thereto;
and (iii) the Bank Merger, will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Code section
368(a), and that this Agreement, together with the Bank Plan of Merger, will constitute a plan of
reorganization with respect thereto.
At or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each director and each executive
officer of PSB has executed a letter agreement dated as of August 30, 2006, in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 3.
At or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Messrs. Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx and
Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxx, both directors and officers of PSB, have each executed an agreement and release
dated as of August 30, 2006, in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits 4A and 4B, respectively.
2
Conestoga, Merger Sub and PSB desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants,
and agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and also to prescribe
various conditions to the transactions contemplated hereby.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties, and
agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance
with the Business Corporation Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “PABCL”), at the
Effective Time, Merger Sub shall merge with and into PSB. PSB shall be the surviving corporation
(hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger, and shall
continue its corporate existence under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Upon
consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall terminate.
1.2 Effective Time. Merger Sub and PSB shall prepare the articles of merger for the
Merger (the “Articles of Merger”), which they shall file with the Secretary of State of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). The term “Effective
Time” shall mean the time when the Merger becomes effective, which shall be upon the filing of
the Articles of Merger or at such later time as the parties may agree and as is set forth in the
Articles of Merger.
1.3 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the
effects set forth in this Agreement and the PABCL.
1.4 Closing of the Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable on such
date, time and place as shall be agreed to by the parties after the satisfaction or waiver (subject
to applicable law) of the conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof, other than conditions which
by their terms are to be satisfied at Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver of such
conditions. Notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to Closing (other than
conditions which by their terms are to be satisfied at Closing), PSB shall not be required to close
the Merger until the earlier of the sale or participation of all the Loans (as hereinafter defined)
listed on Exhibit 5 or December 31, 2006. The actual date of the Closing is hereinafter referred
to as the “Closing Date”.
1.5 Articles of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation
of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so as to read in their entirety in the form annexed
hereto as Exhibit 6 and shall continue as the articles of incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.
3
1.6 Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall be
amended so as to read in their entirety in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 7 and shall continue
as the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein
or by applicable law.
1.7 Board of Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of Merger Sub
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be the directors and officers of the
Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the articles of incorporation and
by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or
appointed (as the case may be) and qualified.
1.8 Change to Structure of Merger. The parties may at any time change the method of
effecting the business combination contemplated by this Agreement if and to the extent requested by
any party and consented to by the other parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
provided, however, that no such change shall: (i) alter or change the amount or kind of Merger
Consideration (as hereinafter defined), (ii) adversely affect the tax treatment or consequences of
the business combination to any party to this Agreement or to PSB’s shareholders as a result of
receiving the Merger Consideration, or (iii) materially impede or delay completion of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
1.9 Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the
Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of PSB shall occur by reason
of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or
combination, exchange, subdivision or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a
record date during such period or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration and the
Option Consideration (as hereinafter defined) shall be appropriately adjusted. In addition, the
Merger Consideration and the Option Consideration have been calculated based on the representations
and warranties made by PSB in Section 4.3. Without limiting the effect of the failure of the
representations and warranties made by PSB in Section 4.3 to be true and correct, in the event
that, at the Effective Time, the actual number of shares of PSB Common Stock (as hereinafter
defined) outstanding and/or the actual number of shares of PSB Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of outstanding Options (as hereinafter defined) is more than as described in Section 4.3 (except as
may result from the exercise of any outstanding Options described in Section 4.3), the Merger
Consideration and the Option Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted downward.
1.10 Parent/Sub Merger; Bank Merger. Conestoga and PSB shall use their reasonable
best efforts to cause PSB to merge with and into Conestoga, with Conestoga surviving such merger,
and First Penn Bank to merge with and into Conestoga Bank, with Conestoga Bank surviving such
merger, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time. Concurrently with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, Conestoga shall cause Conestoga Bank, and PSB shall cause First Penn
Bank, to execute and deliver the Bank Plan of Merger.
4
ARTICLE II
CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES
2.1 Conversion of PSB Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger:
(a) Each share of common stock, no par value per share, of PSB (“PSB Common Stock”)
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled as
provided in Section 2.1(d)), shall, by virtue of the Merger, be converted into the right to receive
$17.00 in cash, less the Per Share Price Adjustment, if any (as hereinafter defined) (the
“Merger Consideration”), payable to the holder thereof in accordance with Article III
hereof, less any required withholding of Taxes (as hereinafter defined).
(b) The dollar amount of cash that each share of PSB Common Stock shall be converted into
pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall be reduced by the sum of the following quotients (the “Per
Share Price Adjustment”):
(i) with respect to each Loan identified on Exhibit 5 that is sold or in which a participation
interest is sold (regardless of the actual percentage participation interest of such Loan that is
sold):
(A) the sum of (1) the percentage of net exposure on the Loan retained
by PSB or its Subsidiaries after the sale of the Loan or a participation
interest therein times the after tax discount associated with that Loan on
Exhibit 5, plus (2) 0.6375 times the realized net loss incurred in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles on the disposal of
the Loan, divided by;
(B) 6,048,960, plus:
(ii) with respect to each Loan identified on Exhibit 5 that is not sold or in which a
participation interest is not sold prior to closing,
(C) the after-tax discount set forth opposite such Loan on Exhibit 5,
divided by:
(D) 6,048,960.
If any Loan identified on Exhibit 5 is sold or a participation interest in such a Loan is sold
as part of a pool with other Loans identified on Exhibit 5, then for purposes of clause (i), the
adjustment, if any, shall be determined on an aggregate basis. PSB shall not, and shall not allow
First Penn Bank to, sell any Loan identified on Exhibit 5 or a participation interest in any such
Loan as part of a pool containing any Loans or other assets other than Loans identified on Exhibit
5 or participations in such Loans without Conestoga’s written consent. The sale of any Loan
identified on Exhibit 5 or the sale of any participation interest in any such Loan shall be on a
non-recourse basis (except for liability, if any, retained by First Penn Bank solely in its
capacity as agent bank in exchange for a customary servicing fee) and shall not obligate PSB or
5
First Penn Bank to pay to the purchaser a rate of interest different than the rate of interest
paid by the borrower under the Loan identified on Exhibit 5.
(c) All shares of PSB Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section
2.1(d)) shall cease to be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each
holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares
of PSB Common Stock (a “Certificate”) shall thereafter cease to have any rights with
respect to such shares of PSB Common Stock, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration
upon the surrender of such Certificate.
(d) Each share of PSB Common Stock owned directly by Conestoga, any Subsidiary (as hereinafter
defined) of Conestoga, PSB, or any Subsidiary of PSB (other than shares held in trust accounts,
managed accounts, custodial or nominee accounts and the like for the benefit of customers or shares
held as security for a debt previously contracted) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall,
by virtue of the Merger, cease to be outstanding and shall be canceled and no Merger Consideration
or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
(e) Each share of common stock, no par value per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger, be converted into one
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, no par value per share, of the
Surviving Corporation.
2.2 Treatment of PSB Stock Options and Restricted Shares.
(a) As of the Effective Time, each option to purchase PSB Common Stock (each, an
“Option”) that is outstanding and unexercised, whether vested or unvested, shall be
canceled, and, in exchange for the cancellation of such Option, the holder thereof shall be
entitled to receive a payment in cash in accordance with Article III hereof, less any required
withholding of Taxes, in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of: (i) the Merger Consideration,
over (ii) the exercise price or other amount that would have to be paid in order to receive the PSB
Common Stock that is subject to such Option (the “Option Consideration”). In connection
therewith, PSB shall provide written notice to each holder of a then outstanding Option (whether or
not such Option is then vested or exercisable), that: (A) such Option shall be, as at the date of
such notice, exercisable in full, (B) such Option shall terminate at the Effective Time, and (C) if
such Option is not exercised or otherwise terminated on or before the fifth Business Day prior to
the Effective Time, such Option shall be treated as set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence. From and after the Effective Time, other than as expressly set forth in this Section
2.2(a), the holders of Options shall cease to have any rights in respect to such Options other than
to receive payment of the Option Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Business
Day” shall mean any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or other day on which banking
organizations in the City of Philadelphia are required or authorized by law to be closed.
(b) Each share of PSB Common Stock granted subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions
(each, a “Restricted Share”)pursuant to any PSB Stock Plan (as hereinafter defined) which
is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest and become free of such
restrictions as of the Effective Time and, at the Effective Time, the holder thereof shall
6
be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to each such Restricted Share in
accordance with Section 2.1.
(c) Prior to the Effective Time, PSB shall take such actions as are necessary and/or
desirable, if any, to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.2.
ARTICLE III
EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES FOR MERGER CONSIDERATION
3.1 Conestoga to Make Merger Consideration and Option Consideration Available.
Conestoga shall appoint an agent, who shall be reasonably acceptable to PSB (the “Exchange
Agent”), for the purpose of exchanging PSB Common Stock for the Merger Consideration and
Options for the Option Consideration. Prior to the Effective Time, Conestoga shall deposit with
the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of PSB Common Stock and Options, for exchange in
accordance with this Article III, an amount of cash sufficient to make all payments pursuant to
Article II (such cash amount, the “Exchange Fund”). The cash deposited with the Exchange
Agent pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by
Conestoga; provided that: (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger
Consideration or the Option Consideration payable to the holders of shares of PSB Common Stock or
Options, respectively, and following any losses Conestoga shall promptly provide additional funds
to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of PSB Common Stock and Options in the amount
of any such losses, and (ii) such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United
States of America with maturities of no more than 90 days or guaranteed by the United States of
America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial
paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard &
Poor’s Corporation, respectively. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be
payable to or at the direction of Conestoga.
3.2 Exchange of Shares and Options.
(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, and in no event more than ten
Business Days thereafter, Conestoga shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record
of PSB Common Stock or Options a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be
effected, and risk of loss and title to the PSB Common Stock and Options shall pass, only upon
delivery of the Certificates representing the PSB Common Stock or the documents representing the
Options to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the
Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration therefor and for use in effecting
the surrender of the documents representing the Options in exchange for payment of the Option
Consideration therefor. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to
the Exchange Agent, together with a letter of transmittal, duly executed, and any other
documentation reasonably requested by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be
entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share formerly
represented by such Certificate, and such Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.
Upon proper surrender of documents representing Options for exchange and cancellation to the
Exchange Agent, together with a letter of
7
transmittal, duly executed, and any other documentation reasonably requested by the Exchange
Agent, the holder of such Option shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Option
Consideration for each share of PSB Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Option, and such
documents representing the Options so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be
paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of Certificates on the Merger Consideration payable upon
the surrender of the Certificates or for the benefit of holders of Options on the Option
Consideration payable upon the surrender of the documents representing such Options. Until
surrendered as contemplated by this Article III, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after
the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger
Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.1 and any document representing Options shall be deemed
at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the
Option Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.2.
(b) If the payment of the Merger Consideration or the Option Consideration is to be made to a
person other than the registered holder of the PSB Common Stock or the Options surrendered in
exchange therefor, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate or Option documentation
so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer)
and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such payment shall pay to
the Exchange Agent in advance any applicable stock transfer or other Taxes or shall establish to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes have been paid or are not
payable.
(c) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of PSB Common Stock
and Options for six months after the Effective Time shall be paid, at the request of Conestoga, to
Conestoga. Any holders of PSB Common Stock and Options who have not theretofore complied with this
Article III shall thereafter look only to Conestoga for payment of the Merger Consideration and the
Option Consideration as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of Conestoga, Merger Sub, PSB, the
Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of PSB Common
Stock or Options for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable
abandoned property, escheat, or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of PSB
Common Stock or Options immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to
or become property of any governmental authority shall become, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the property of Conestoga free and clear of any claims or interest of any person
previously entitled thereto.
(d) In the event any Certificate or Option documentation shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate or
Option documentation to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Conestoga, the posting by
such person of a bond in such amount as Conestoga may determine is reasonably necessary as
indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate or Option
documentation, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed
Certificate or Option documentation the Merger Consideration or the Option Consideration,
respectively, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.
8
(e) Conestoga or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the
consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of PSB Common Stock or
Options such amounts as Conestoga or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with
respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of any other U.S.
federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld
by Conestoga or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the PSB Common Stock or Options in respect of whom
such deduction and withholding were made by Conestoga or the Exchange Agent.
ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PSB
4.1 Disclosure Schedule; Disclosure Standard. As of the date hereof, PSB has
delivered to Conestoga a schedule (the “PSB Disclosure Schedule”) setting forth, among
other things, certain items, the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response
to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception to one or
more representations or warranties contained in Article IV or to one or more covenants contained in
Article VI. No representation or warranty of PSB contained in this Article IV shall be deemed
untrue or incorrect, and PSB shall not be deemed to have breached a representation or warranty, or
to have failed to satisfy a related condition, as a consequence of the existence or absence of any
fact, circumstance or event unless such fact, circumstance or event, individually or taken together
with all other facts, circumstances or events inconsistent with that or any other representation or
warranty, has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (as hereinafter
defined). Each section of the PSB Disclosure Schedule qualifies the correspondingly numbered
representation or warranty and any other representation or warranty contained in this Article IV if
it is reasonably apparent that the disclosure set forth in the PSB Disclosure Schedule is
applicable to such other representation or warranty.
As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse
effect on the business, operations, results of operations in the current or any future fiscal year,
or financial condition of PSB and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or a material adverse effect on
PSB’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on or before March 31, 2007, in
each case as determined from the perspective of a reasonable person in Conestoga’s position. For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the fact that any costs, damages or other liabilities or
reasonably expected costs, damages or other liabilities arising from or related to any
representation or warranty of PSB being untrue or incorrect may be non-recurring or result in only
a one-time charge to earnings shall not affect the assessment of their materiality to the results
of operations of PSB and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, that any increase in
PSB’s provision for loan losses shall not be considered to cause a Material Adverse Effect solely
by reason of the effect such increases have on PSB’s consolidated results of operations for any
single fiscal year. In determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, there shall be
excluded any effect resulting from or attributable to: (i) any change after the date of this
Agreement in laws, rules or regulations or published interpretations thereof by courts or
governmental authorities or in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or
regulatory accounting requirements, in any such case applicable to banks, savings banks,
9
mortgage banks, mortgage brokers, savings associations or their holding companies generally,
except for any such change that has a disproportionate impact on PSB and its Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole, relative to the other participants in their industry, (ii) the announcement of this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, any action of Conestoga or its Subsidiaries or
any action or omission of PSB or its Subsidiaries taken or omitted to be taken, pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement or with the consent or at the direction of Conestoga, or (iii) changes
after the date of this Agreement in general economic conditions or interest rates affecting banks,
savings banks, mortgage banks, mortgage brokers, savings associations or their holding companies
generally, except for any such change that has a disproportionate impact on PSB and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to the other participants in their industry and
provided, further, that a decrease in the trading or market price of the PSB Common
Stock shall not be considered, by itself, to constitute a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a “Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed to have occurred if one or more suits,
actions or proceedings are instituted or threatened subsequent to the date of this Agreement
against PSB or its Subsidiaries or their respective directors or officers in their capacities as
such and such suits, actions or proceedings result in or could reasonably be expected to result in
costs, damages or other liabilities that would be material relative to the business, operations,
results of operations in the current or any future fiscal year, or financial condition of, PSB and
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or any such suit, action or proceeding could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on PSB’s ability to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby on or before April 30, 2007; in each case as determined from the perspective of
a reasonable person in Conestoga’s position. For purposes of the preceding sentence, (x) if the
likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from or arising out of any actual or threatened suit,
action or proceeding is more than remote (as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 5 “Accounting of Contingencies”), then, for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the
full amount of any costs, damages or other liabilities that PSB or its Subsidiaries (or Conestoga
or its Subsidiaries as successors thereto following the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement) could reasonably be expected to incur or become subject to as a result of such adverse
outcome shall be factored into the assessment of the materiality of such suit, action or
proceeding, without any discount based on or related to the probability of such adverse outcome in
fact occurring, (y) the fact that any costs, damages or other liabilities or reasonably expected
costs, damages or other liabilities may be non-recurring or result in only a one-time charge to
earnings shall not affect the assessment of their materiality to the results of operations of PSB
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and (z) the amount of any insurance proceeds or other
amounts that PSB, Conestoga or their respective Subsidiaries may be entitled to recover from third
parties in connection with any actual or threatened suit, action or proceeding shall not offset the
assessment of costs, damages or other liabilities that PSB, Conestoga or their respective
Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to incur or become subject to as a result of such suit,
action or proceeding, unless, in the reasonable judgment of Conestoga, such recoveries are
reasonably probable.
PSB hereby represents and warrants to Conestoga that, except (i) as set forth in the PSB
Disclosure Schedule or (ii) as disclosed in the PSB Reports (as hereinafter defined) filed prior to
the date hereof, but only to the extent the exception is reasonably apparent from such disclosure:

Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHCA”). The copies of the articles of
incorporation and bylaws of PSB which have previously been made available to Conestoga are true,

permitted by law, and all premiums and assessments required to be paid in connection therewith have
been paid by First Penn Bank. Neither PSB nor First Penn Bank has received any notice that such

redemption, sale or issuance of any shares of capital stock or any other equity security of any PSB
Subsidiary or any securities representing the right to purchase or otherwise receive any shares of

subject to the adoption of this Agreement by the shareholders of PSB under the PABCL and in
accordance with PSB’s articles of incorporation and bylaws (the “PSB Shareholder
Approval”), to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Board of Directors of PSB,
by resolutions duly adopted by a unanimous vote at a meeting duly called and held and not
subsequently rescinded or modified in any way, has (i) determined that this Agreement and the
Merger are advisable and are fair to and in the best interests of PSB, and (ii) adopted and

the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by PSB and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Conestoga and Merger
Sub) constitutes a valid and binding obligation of PSB, enforceable against PSB in accordance with
its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity, whether applied in
a court of law or a court of equity, and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights and remedies generally.
(b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by PSB nor the consummation by PSB of
the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by PSB with any of the terms or provisions
hereof, will: (i) violate any provision of the articles of incorporation or bylaws of PSB or any
of the similar governing documents of any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) assuming that the consents
and approvals referred to in Section 4.5 are duly obtained, (x) violate any statute, code,
ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, decree or injunction applicable to PSB or any

required by, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the respective properties or assets
of PSB or any of its Subsidiaries under, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust,
license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which PSB or any of its Subsidiaries
is a party, or by which they or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound.

of this Agreement, and (B) the consummation by PSB of the Merger, the consummation by First Penn
Bank of the Bank Merger, and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby. As of
the date of this Agreement, PSB does not know of any reason why any Requisite Regulatory Approval
(as hereinafter defined) should not be obtained on a timely basis, or will be received with
conditions, limitations or restrictions unacceptable to it or Conestoga or that would adversely
impact PSB’s or First Penn Bank’s ability to complete the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

to or as contemplated by this Agreement.
4.8 Books and Records; Internal Controls.
(a) PSB has maintained records of the proceedings of its governing body and each committee
thereof, and of the owners of shares of its capital stock, and has caused such records or
comparable records to be maintained for each of its Subsidiaries, whether a corporation or any
other form of entity. The minute books of PSB and each Subsidiary contain complete and accurate
records of all meetings held of, and action taken by, the shareholders, the board of directors and
each committee of the board of directors or other governing body of each such entity, and no

were made as and when required by such determination letter, and nothing has occurred, whether by
action or failure to act, that could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such
qualification; (iii) no event has occurred and no condition exists that would subject PSB or any of
its Subsidiaries, solely by reason of their affiliation with any past or present “ERISA
Affiliate” (defined as any organization which is a member of a controlled group of
organizations within the meaning of Code sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o)), to any Tax, fine, lien,
penalty or other liability imposed by ERISA or the Code; (iv) except as set forth in Section 4.13

termination of service other than as required by section 4980B of the Code; and (v) PSB has made or
provided for all contributions required under the terms of each Plan and all contributions have
been made within the time required by applicable law.

report for such valuation.

pending or, to the knowledge of PSB or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened and, (ii) no facts or

the result of the termination of any plan previously maintained, or contributed to, by PSB or any
of its Subsidiaries.
(i) Except as set forth in Section 4.13 of the PSB Disclosure Schedule, the consummation of
the transactions contemplated herein will not, separately or together with any other event, (i)
entitle any employee, officer or director of PSB or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay,
unemployment compensation or any other payment, or (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting
of, or increase the amount of, compensation due to any such employee, officer or director.
(j) All Plans which provide for the deferral of compensation, within the meaning of Code
section 409A, have been administered in good faith compliance with Code section 409A and the
guidance and regulations issued thereunder. Except as set forth in Section 4.13 of the Disclosure
Schedule, no outstanding stock options and no shares of restricted stock are subject to Code
section 409A. In addition, Section 4.13 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the amounts of

sufficient for the continued conduct of such business after the Closing in substantially the same
manner as conducted before the Closing, and (ii) comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and
regulations, including, without limitation, all building codes, zoning ordinances and other similar
laws, except where any noncompliance would not materially detract from the value, or interfere with

prudent for their respective operations in accordance with industry practice and sufficient for
compliance by PSB and its Subsidiaries with all requirements of law and agreements to which PSB or

actions, causes of action, private environmental investigations or remediation activities or
governmental investigations of any nature pending or, to the knowledge of PSB, threatened against

result in the imposition, on PSB or any of its Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation arising
under common law standards relating to environmental protection, human health or safety, or under
any local, state or federal statute, regulation or ordinance, relating to pollution or the
discharge of, or exposure to hazardous materials, including the Comprehensive Environmental

affiliate of PSB 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. Neither PSB nor
First Penn Bank has been notified that principal and interest with respect to any such Loan will
not be paid when due or that the Loan grade classification accorded such Loan by First Penn Bank is

“affiliate transaction,” “business combination,” or other anti-takeover laws and regulations
of any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Merger
will not be deemed a liquidation that would require distribution of any liquidation account created
in connection with the mutual to stock conversion of the predecessor of First Penn Bank. The Board
of Directors of PSB has determined that Conestoga is not, and by virtue of being the beneficiary of
the letter agreements executed and delivered by certain directors and officers of PSB in the form

of capital stock of PSB entitled to cast 5% or more of the votes which all shareholders of PSB are

80% or more of the directors of PSB’s Board of Directors has approved the acquisition of beneficial
ownership by Conestoga (by virtue of being the beneficiary of the Letter Agreements if that would
be sufficient for purposes of establishing beneficial ownership) of shares of capital stock of PSB

issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of PSB for purposes of Article FOURTEENTH of PSB’s
Articles of Incorporation.
4.28 Community Reinvestment Act, Anti-Money Laundering and Customer Information
Security. Each of PSB and its applicable Subsidiaries received a rating of at least
“Satisfactory” in connection with its last Community Reinvestment Act examination. Except as set
forth in the PSB Disclosure Schedule, neither PSB nor First Penn Bank is aware of, has been
27
advised
of, or has reason to believe that any facts or circumstances exist, that would cause First Penn
Bank to be deemed not to be in satisfactory compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act, and the
regulations promulgated thereunder, or to be assigned a rating for Community Reinvestment Act

prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement relating to the matters to be
submitted to the PSB shareholders at the PSB Shareholders Meeting (such proxy statement, and
any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”). Prior to filing the Proxy
Statement with the SEC, PSB shall provide Conestoga a reasonable opportunity to review and comment
on the Proxy Statement. PSB shall notify Conestoga promptly of the receipt of any comments from
the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement and shall respond promptly to all such comments. PSB
shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as
promptly as practicable after the date hereof, and (ii) mail the Proxy Statement to its
shareholders as promptly as practicable thereafter.
(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cooperate
with each other and use reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary
documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, and to obtain as
33
promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties
and Governmental Entities that are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger and the Bank Merger) and to comply with the
terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such third
parties and Governmental Entities. PSB and Conestoga shall have the right to review in advance,
and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable
laws relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to PSB and Conestoga, as
the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or
written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the
parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties hereto agree that
they will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals
and authorizations of all third parties or Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other
apprised of the status of matters relating to consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(c) Conestoga and PSB shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information concerning
themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may
be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement or
any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Conestoga, PSB or any of
their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger or the Bank
Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each of Conestoga and PSB
will promptly correct any such information in the event it becomes materially false or misleading.
(d) PSB and Conestoga shall promptly furnish each other with copies of all written
communications received by PSB and Conestoga, as the case may be, or any of their respective
Subsidiaries from, or delivered by any of the foregoing to, any Governmental Entity in respect of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
7.2 Access to Information.
(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of
information, PSB shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the
officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of Conestoga access,
during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties,
books, contracts, commitments and records, and to its officers, employees, accountants, counsel and
other representatives, in each case in a manner not unreasonably disruptive to the operation of the
business of PSB and its Subsidiaries, and, during such period, PSB shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries to, make available to Conestoga all other information concerning its business,
properties and personnel as Conestoga may reasonably request. Neither PSB nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or
disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the institution in possession or
control of such information or contravene any law, rule or regulation applicable to the institution
in possession or control of such information. The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute
disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence
34
apply. In addition to the access permitted by this paragraph, from the date of this Agreement
through the closing, PSB shall permit employees of Conestoga reasonable access to and participation
in matters relating to problem Loans, Loan restructurings and Loan workouts, investments, and other
asset/liability activities of PSB and any PSB Subsidiary, provided that nothing contained in this
subparagraph shall be construed to grant Conestoga or any Conestoga employee any final
decision-making authority with respect to such matters, except as may be more specifically
contemplated by Section 6.2.
(b) Conestoga shall hold all information furnished by PSB or any of its Subsidiaries or
representatives pursuant to Section 7.2(a) in confidence to the extent required by, and in
accordance with, the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated November 3, 2005, between
Marley Partners, LP (predecessor entity to Conestoga) and PSB (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”).
(c) No investigation by Conestoga or its Representatives shall constitute a waiver of or
otherwise affect the representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements of PSB set forth herein.
7.3 Shareholder Approval. PSB shall call a meeting of its shareholders as promptly
as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement (the “PSB Shareholders
Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the PSB Shareholder Approval and, except as provided
hereby, shall take all lawful action to solicit the adoption of this Agreement by such
shareholders. The Board of Directors of PSB shall recommend adoption of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby by the shareholders of PSB (the “PSB Recommendation”);
provided, however, that the Board of Directors of PSB may: (i) withdraw, modify,
qualify in any manner adverse to Conestoga, condition or refuse to make such recommendation, or
(ii) take any other action or make any other public statement in connection with the PSB
Shareholders Meeting inconsistent with such recommendation (clause (i) and (ii) collectively, a
“Change in PSB Recommendation”) if the Board of Directors of PSB determines, in good faith
after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, that the failure to take such
action would or could reasonably be expected to breach its fiduciary obligations under applicable
law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, PSB shall not be required to hold the PSB
Shareholders Meeting if this Agreement is terminated prior thereto.
7.4 Acquisition Proposals.
(a) PSB agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the officers, employees
and directors of it or its Subsidiaries shall, and it shall not authorize its or its Subsidiaries’
agents and representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it
or any of its Subsidiaries) to, directly or indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly
encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to a
merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization,
liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving it or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
sale of 15% or more of the consolidated assets (including stock of its Subsidiaries) of PSB and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, or any
issuance or sale of, or tender or exchange offer for, in a single transaction or series of related
transactions, its voting securities that, if consummated, would
35
result in any person (or the
shareholders of such person) beneficially owning securities representing 15% or more of its total
voting power (or of the surviving parent entity in such transaction) or any of its Subsidiaries
(any such proposal or offer (other than a proposal or offer made by Conestoga) being hereinafter
referred as an “Acquisition Proposal”), (ii) have any discussions with or provide any
confidential information or data to any person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or engage in
any negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal, or knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt
by any person to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve or recommend, or propose
publicly to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) approve or recommend, or
publicly propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement
in principle, merger agreement, asset purchase or share exchange agreement, option agreement or
other similar agreement related to any Acquisition Proposal or publicly propose or agree to do any
of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4(a), in the event
that, prior to the date of the PSB Shareholders Meeting, PSB receives an unsolicited bona fide
Acquisition Proposal, PSB may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its and their representatives
to: (x) furnish or cause to be furnished confidential information or data, (y) participate in such
negotiations or discussions and (z) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or
recommend, any Acquisition Proposal if PSB’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith after
consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors that, in the case of any action
described in clauses (x) or (y) above, such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably
likely to result in a Superior Proposal (as hereinafter defined) and, in the case of any action
described in clause (z) above, such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal;
provided that prior to providing (or causing to be provided) any confidential information
or data permitted to be provided pursuant to this sentence, PSB shall have entered into a
confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to PSB than the
Confidentiality Agreement (provided that PSB may enter into a confidentiality agreement without a
standstill provision, or with standstill or other provisions less favorable to PSB, if it waives or
similarly modifies the corresponding provisions in the Confidentiality Agreement).
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, at any time prior to the
adoption of this Agreement by PSB’s shareholders in accordance with this Agreement, PSB’s Board of
Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside
legal counsel, in response to an Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited in material violation
of Section 7.4(a), that such proposal is a Superior Proposal, PSB or its Board of Directors may
terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that PSB shall not terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this sentence, and any purported termination pursuant to this sentence shall
be void and of no force or effect, unless PSB prior to or concurrently with such termination
pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) pays to Conestoga the fee payable pursuant to Section 9.2(b); and
provided, further, however, that PSB shall not be permitted to exercise its right
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) until after 72 hours following the
provision of written notice to Conestoga advising Conestoga that PSB’s Board of Directors intends
to cause PSB to accept such Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of the
Superior Proposal, during which time PSB shall negotiate in good faith with Conestoga to make such
adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable PSB to proceed with the
Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if and to the extent Conestoga elects to
make any such adjustments.
36
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” with respect to PSB means a
bona fide written Acquisition Proposal involving, or any purchase or acquisition of, all or
substantially all of the voting power of PSB’s capital stock or all or substantially all of the
consolidated assets of PSB, for cash and/or readily marketable securities, which Acquisition
Proposal the Board of Directors of PSB concludes in good faith, after consultation with its
financial advisors and outside legal advisors, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory
and other aspects of the proposal and the person making the proposal (including any break-up fees,
expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation), is more favorable to the
shareholders of PSB from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, and that the failure to pursue such Acquisition Proposal would or could reasonably be
expected to breach its fiduciary obligations under applicable law.
(d) PSB will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions, or
negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any persons other than Conestoga with
respect to any Acquisition Proposal. PSB will promptly (within one Business Day) following the
receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, or of any inquiry
that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, advise Conestoga of the
material terms thereof and will keep Conestoga reasonably apprised of any material developments
related thereto.
(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent PSB or its board of directors from
complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition
Proposal (or any similar communication to shareholders in connection with the making or amendment
of a tender offer or exchange offer) or from making any legally required disclosure to shareholders
with regard to an Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, a communication by PSB’s
board of directors pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f)(3) and any similar communication shall not be deemed
to constitute a Change in PSB Recommendation.
7.5 Legal Conditions to Merger.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Conestoga and PSB shall,
and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts: (i) to take,
or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal
requirements which may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger or
the Bank Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VIII hereof, to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other
parties to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any
Governmental Entity and any other third party which is required to be obtained by PSB or Conestoga
or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Conestoga and PSB agrees
to use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or
cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as
soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby,
including, in the case of PSB, using reasonable best efforts to (i) lift or
37
rescind any injunction
or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate
the transactions contemplated hereby, and defend any litigation seeking to enjoin, prevent or delay
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeking material damages, and (ii) to
fully enforce its rights under the Letter Agreement.

7.6, Conestoga shall decide at least sixty (60) days prior to the Effective Time whether the
employee pension and welfare benefit plans and arrangements of PSB and its Subsidiaries (“PSB
Plans”) will continue to be maintained after the Effective Time or whether such PSB Plans shall be
amended, frozen, and/or terminated prior to or as of the Effective Time. PSB shall cooperate and
shall cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate with Conestoga in implementing such decisions and in
taking all actions necessary, subject to requirements of applicable law, to amend, freeze and/or
terminate such PSB Plans as Conestoga shall designate.
(b) PSB Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“PSB ESOP”). As of the Effective Time, the
PSB ESOP shall be terminated. As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement,
PSB shall file all necessary documents with the Internal Revenue Service for a favorable
determination letter for the termination of the PSB ESOP as of the Effective Time. As soon as
practicable after the receipt of a favorable determination letter for termination from Internal
Revenue Service, the account balances in the PSB ESOP, including any surplus in the suspense
account after full payment of the ESOP loan and all PSB ESOP administrative expenses, shall be
distributed to participants and beneficiaries in accordance with applicable law and terms of the

December 31, 2006, PSB shall or shall cause First Penn Bank to amend the First Penn Bank Severance
Plan retroactive to January 1, 2005, in such manner such that the amounts provided thereunder do
not constitute deferred compensation subject to Code section 409A in accordance with proposed

terms of such Plan as so amended.
(d) Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans. With respect to any nonqualified
deferred compensation plans subject, or potentially subject, to Code section 409A which are not
otherwise specifically addressed in this Section 7.6, PSB shall amend, or shall cause its
Subsidiaries to amend, prior to the earlier of December 31, 2006 or the Effective Time, such
deferred compensation plans to the extent necessary to comply with Code section 409A. In the event
that Conestoga directs termination of such a plan, if permitted in accordance with Code section
409A, or that participation and accruals be frozen, such action shall be effected in such a manner
that no person receives redundant benefits, loses existing benefits, or results in an acceleration
of payment unless such acceleration is permitted under Code section 409A or a participant’s prior
election form so provides.
38
(e) Plan Amendments. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.6 to the
contrary, PSB shall, at the reasonable request of Conestoga, amend prior to the Effective Time each
employee benefit plan subject to Code section 409A or to cause each such plan to be amended to the
extent necessary to comply with Code section 409A. Such amendments shall be provided to Conestoga
and its counsel at least ten days prior to their proposed adoption by PSB and shall be subject to
the approval of Conestoga, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. PSB shall, if
requested by Conestoga, terminate, in whole or in part, any employee benefit plan subject to Code
section 409A prior to December 31, 2006, in accordance with the requirements of Code section 409A
and provide a lump sum payment to each affected participant in an amount equal to each
participant’s account balance as of the termination date of such plans.
(f) Welfare Benefit Plans. In the event of any termination of, or consolidation of a
PSB welfare plan with, any Conestoga welfare plan, all PSB Employees who become employees of
Conestoga or a Subsidiary of Conestoga and who are eligible for coverage
under the PSB welfare plan shall have immediate coverage under any successor welfare plan
without the necessity of satisfying a waiting period for coverage of any pre-existing condition and
shall become participants in the Conestoga welfare benefit plans, subject to the terms and
conditions of such plans, including the required cost allocation between employer and employee and
co-pays, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses.
(g) PSB Bonus Plans and Arrangements. PSB may continue to administer such bonus
programs and arrangements as are disclosed pursuant to this Agreement through the Effective Time,
with such equitable modifications as may be appropriate to take into account the circumstances of
the Merger and the timing thereof, provided, however, that aggregate payments under PSB bonus plans
and arrangements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, shall not exceed the amount set
forth in Section 7.6(a) of the PSB Disclosure Schedule.
(h) PSB Employees’ Defined Benefit Retirement Plan. From the date of this Agreement,
PSB shall continue to maintain, without change other than change required by law, its defined
benefit pension plan in accordance with all requirements of applicable law. PSB shall, to the
extent it has not already done so, effectively freeze participation and benefit accruals effective
as of the earlier of the Effective Time or December 31, 2006, and shall timely make any required
contributions through the Effective Time.
(i) Other PSB Plans. From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time of
the Merger, without the prior written consent of Conestoga and except as otherwise expressly
permitted by this Agreement, no further benefits, grants or awards shall be made available under
any other PSB plans to employees or directors, including, without limitation, the granting of stock
options, stock appreciation rights, Restricted Shares, re-load stock options and performance
shares.
(j) No Restriction on Future Amendment. Nothing in this subsection shall be
construed as precluding Conestoga from amending or terminating any plan, program, or arrangement
following the Effective Time of the Merger.
(k) Intention Regarding Future Employment. Conestoga shall use its reasonable best
efforts to inform PSB employees, at least thirty (30) days prior to the Effective
39
Time, of the
likelihood of such employees having continued employment with Conestoga or a Subsidiary of
Conestoga following the Effective Time and, where appropriate in Conestoga’s judgment, it will
consider for employment opportunities at Conestoga or a Subsidiary of Conestoga each of the
employees of PSB and its Subsidiaries.
7.7 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, in the event of any threatened or actual claim,
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether
brought by, or in the name of, PSB or any of its Subsidiaries and their respective successors or
assigns, in which any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this
Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer, employee or agent of
PSB or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”)
is, or is threatened to be, made a party: (i) by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of PSB, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
predecessors or was prior to the Effective Time serving at the request of any such party as a
director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, trust or other
enterprise, or (ii) based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or
pertaining to this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and all actions taken
by an Indemnified Party in connection herewith, whether in any case asserted or arising before or
after the Effective Time, Conestoga shall indemnify each such Indemnified Party against any
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of
any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent
permitted by law upon receipt of an undertaking from such Indemnified Party to repay such advanced
expenses if it is determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in
connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit or proceeding, subject to the
limitations under Pennsylvania law related to the indemnification of directors, officers, and other
representatives of Pennsylvania corporations.
(b) Conestoga shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that
may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided
for in this Section 7.7 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law if the Indemnified Party
is awarded substantially all of the relief sought by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Conestoga shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the persons covered by PSB’s
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy immediately prior to the Effective Time to be
covered for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date by the directors’ and officers’
liability insurance policy or policies maintained by Conestoga with respect to claims arising from
facts or events that occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, provided that Conestoga’s policy
or policies provide at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which
are not less advantageous to such directors and officers of PSB than the terms and conditions of
the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of PSB existing on July 31, 2006.
Conestoga will not be required to expend, in respect of its obligations to such covered persons as
described in the preceding sentence, in any one year an amount in excess of
40
200% of the annual premiums currently paid by PSB for the insurance covering the officers and
directors of PSB (the “Insurance Amount”), provided, that if such expenditure would
exceed the Insurance Amount, Conestoga shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as much
comparable insurance as is available for the Insurance Amount. Promptly following the execution of
this Agreement, PSB shall purchase, to the extent available, additional directors’ and officers’
liability insurance or transaction insurance in such reasonable amounts and on such reasonable
terms as directed by Conestoga.
(d) The provisions of this Section 7.7 will survive the Merger.
(e) If Conestoga or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any
other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or
shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case,
proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Conestoga shall assume the
obligations set forth in this Section 7.7.
7.8 Advice of Changes. Conestoga and PSB shall promptly advise the other party of any
change or event: (i) which, individually or in the aggregate with other such changes or events,
would, or would be reasonably likely to, cause or constitute a material breach of any of its
representations, warranties or covenants set forth herein or has or would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect (in the case of PSB) or a material adverse effect on its ability to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis (in the case of
Conestoga), or (ii) which it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause a condition to
Closing not to be satisfied or satisfaction thereof to be materially delayed. PSB and Conestoga
shall update their respective Disclosure Schedules as promptly as practicable after the occurrence
of an event or fact which, if such event or fact had occurred prior to the date of this Agreement,
would have been disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule. The delivery of such updated Disclosure
Schedule shall not relieve PSB or Conestoga, as the case may be, from any breach or violation of
this Agreement and shall not have any effect for the purposes of determining the satisfaction of
the condition set forth in Article VIII; provided, however, that any noncompliance
with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.8 shall not constitute failure of a condition set
forth in Article VIII or give rise to any right of termination under Article IX unless the
underlying change or event shall independently constitute such a failure or give rise to such a
right.
7.9 Bank Merger. From and after the date hereof, Conestoga and PSB shall take all
reasonable action necessary to complete the Bank Merger as soon as practicable following the
Effective Time.
7.10 Current Information. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the
Effective Time, PSB shall, upon the request of Conestoga, cause one or more of its designated
representatives to confer on a monthly or more frequent basis with representatives of Conestoga
regarding the financial condition, operations, and business matters of PSB and the completion of
the transactions contemplated hereby. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month, PSB
will deliver to Conestoga a consolidating and consolidated balance sheet and a consolidating and
consolidated statement of operations, without related notes, for such month for PSB.
41

(iv) Reserves and Merger-Related Costs. Prior to the Effective Time: (A) establish

Conestoga’s plans with respect to the conduct of the business of PSB following the Merger, (B)
otherwise to reflect Merger-related expenses and costs incurred by PSB, and (C) sell such assets
and/or sell or prepay such liabilities as Conestoga shall so require; provided, however, that PSB

Time, and (y) unless Conestoga agrees in writing that all conditions to closing set forth in
Article VIII have been satisfied or waived (except for the expiration of any applicable waiting
periods);
(v) Personnel Information. As reasonably requested by Conestoga, PSB shall deliver to
Conestoga updated copies of Section 4.23(b) of the PSB Disclosure Schedule. PSB shall make
available for inspection and copying by Conestoga all personnel records (other than medical-related
records without the consent of the affected employee);
(vi) Personnel Additions and Terminations. Advise and consult with Conestoga
regarding the termination or resignation, or threatened termination or resignation, of any member
of the executive management of PSB or any PSB Subsidiary; and if requested by Conestoga, advise and
consult with Conestoga regarding the hiring or termination of any other employee;
(vii) Employment Policies. Deliver to Conestoga all personnel policy manuals,

to Conestoga of the sale of any such Loan sale or the sale of any participation interest in such
Loan, including the price at which such Loan or participation interest is sold. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, PSB shall not be obligated to sell any Loan identified on Exhibit 5 or sell a
participation interest in any such Loan if, as a result of such sale, the price adjustment required
by Section 2.1(b)(i) would exceed the price adjustment that would be required by Section 2.1(b)(ii)
if the Loan were not sold.
(b) From and after the date of this Agreement, PSB shall deliver to Conestoga copies of all
documents filed with the SEC promptly after the filing thereof.

TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT
9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective
Time, whether before or (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 9.1) after adoption
of this Agreement by the shareholders of PSB:
(a) by mutual consent of Conestoga, Merger Sub and PSB in a written instrument, if the Board
of Directors of each of Conestoga, Merger Sub and PSB so determines;
(b) by either Conestoga or PSB if: (i) any Governmental Entity which must grant a Requisite
Regulatory Approval has denied approval of the Merger and such denial has become final and
nonappealable, or (ii) any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final
nonappealable order enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that no party shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) if the denial or order referred to
45
above shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement (or in the
case of Conestoga, Merger Sub) to perform or observe any of its covenants or agreements set forth
herein;
(c) by either Conestoga or PSB if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before
April 30, 2007, unless, in the case of PSB, the failure of the Effective Time to occur by such date
shall be due to the failure of PSB to perform or observe any of its covenants or agreements set
forth herein;
(d) by either Conestoga or PSB (provided that the terminating party (or, in the case of
Conestoga, Merger Sub) is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
other agreement contained herein, other than, in the case of Conestoga or Merger Sub, their
covenants to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with Section
1.4 of this Agreement and their related covenants to otherwise perform their obligations hereunder
associated with consummating such transactions) if the other party (or, in the case of a
termination by PSB, Merger Sub) shall have breached: (i) any of the covenants or agreements made
by such other party (or, in the case of a termination by PSB, Merger Sub) herein, except, in the
case of Conestoga or Merger Sub, their covenants to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement in accordance with Section 1.4 of this Agreement and their related covenants to
otherwise perform their obligations hereunder associated with consummating such transactions, or
(ii) any of the representations or warranties made by such other party herein, and in either case,
such breach (x) is not cured within 30 days following written notice to the party committing such
breach specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such breach, or which breach, by its nature,
cannot be cured prior to the Closing, and (y) would entitle the non-breaching party not to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby under Article VIII hereof;
(e) by either Conestoga or PSB if the PSB Shareholder Approval shall not have been obtained at
the PSB Shareholders Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof;
(f) by Conestoga, if the Board of Directors of PSB shall have: (i) breached, in any material
respect the provisions of Section 7.4(a), (ii) effected a Change in PSB Recommendation, or (iii)

within six months after the date hereof;
(g) by PSB, prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the shareholders of PSB, in accordance

to exercise its termination right pursuant to this clause, it must have complied with its
obligation to provide advance written notice to Conestoga as provided in Section 7.4(b);
(h) by PSB, if all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied
(other than conditions which by their terms are to be satisfied at Closing), PSB delivers written
notice to Conestoga of the satisfaction of all conditions to Closing and the obligation of the
parties to close the Merger in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4, and Conestoga elects
not to close the Merger within fifteen (15) days of the date of such written
46
notice. If PSB exercises its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph
(h), Conestoga shall pay, or cause Conestoga Bank to pay, PSB, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the sum of $3,000,000 on or before the
second Business Day after the date of such termination (the “Conestoga Termination
Fee”).
9.2 Effect of Termination.
(a) In the event of any termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this
Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of Conestoga, Merger Sub, PSB,
any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have
any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, except that: (i) Section 7.2(b), this Section 9.2, and Article X shall
survive any termination of this Agreement and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, none of Conestoga, Merger Sub or PSB shall be relieved or released
from any liabilities or damages arising out of its willful breach of any provision of this
Agreement.
(b) PSB shall pay Conestoga, by wire transfer of immediately available funds the sum of
$3,000,000 (the “PSB Termination Fee”) if this Agreement is terminated as follows:
(i) if this Agreement is terminated by PSB pursuant to Section 9.1(g), PSB shall pay the
entire PSB Termination Fee at or prior to the time of such termination;
(ii) if this Agreement is terminated by Conestoga pursuant to Section 9.1(f), PSB shall pay
the entire PSB Termination Fee on or before the second Business Day after the date of such
termination; and
(iii) if this Agreement is terminated by Conestoga or PSB pursuant to Section 9.1(e), and a
proposal from a third party with respect to a Business Combination (as hereinafter defined) shall
have been publicly announced or otherwise communicated or made known to the shareholders of PSB at
any time after the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the date of the PSB Shareholders
Meeting, then if within 18 months after such termination PSB or any of its Subsidiaries enters into
a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, a Business Combination with the third party
that made the public announcement or communication, PSB shall pay the PSB Termination Fee on or
before the second Business Day after the date of such execution or consummation.
(iv) if this Agreement is terminated by Conestoga or PSB pursuant to Section 9.1(c) and within
six months following such termination PSB or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive
agreement with respect to, or consummates, a Business Combination, PSB shall pay the PSB
Termination Fee to Conestoga on or before the second Business Day after the date of such execution
or consummation.
For purposes of this Section 9.2(b), the term “Business Combination” means (i) a
merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization,
liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving PSB or any of its
47
Subsidiaries as a result of which the holders of the PSB Common Stock prior to such
transaction (by virtue of their ownership of such stock) cease to own, in the aggregate, at least
50% of the total voting power of the entity surviving or resulting from such transaction (or, if
applicable, the ultimate parent thereof), (ii) any sale in a single transaction or series of
transactions of more than 50% of the consolidated assets (including stock of its Subsidiaries) of
PSB and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) any issuance or sale of, or tender or exchange
offer for, in a single transaction or series of transactions, voting securities of PSB or First
Penn Bank resulting in the ownership by any person of more than 50% of the voting power of PSB
(unless the shareholders of PSB immediately prior to such transaction would own in the aggregate
more than 50% of such acquiring person) or by any person (other than PSB or any of its Affiliates)
of more than 50% of the voting power of First Penn Bank.
(c) Any PSB Termination Fee that becomes payable pursuant to Section 9.2(b) shall be paid by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Conestoga.
(d) PSB and Conestoga agree that the agreements contained in Section 9.1(h) and Section 9.2(b)
are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that without such
agreement neither PSB nor Conestoga would have entered into this Agreement, and that neither the
PSB Termination Fee nor the Conestoga Termination Fee constitutes a penalty. If either party fails
to pay the amount due under Section 9.1(h) or Section 9.2(b), as the case may be, within the time
period specified in such paragraph, such party shall pay the costs and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by the other party in connection with any action,
including the filing of any lawsuit, taken to collect payment of such amounts, together with
interest on the amount of any such unpaid amounts at the prime lending rate prevailing during such
period as published in The Wall Street Journal, calculated on a daily basis from the date such
amounts were required to be paid until the date of actual payment.
9.3 Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable law, this Agreement may be
amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of
Directors, at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the
Merger by the shareholders of PSB; provided, however, that after any such approval, no amendment
shall be made which by law requires further approval by such shareholders without such further
approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of
each of the parties hereto.
9.4 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto
may, to the extent legally allowed: (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the
obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and
(iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on
the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a
written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure to
insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate
as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

10.4 Interpretation. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of
similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular provision of this Agreement, and Section references are to this Agreement unless
otherwise specified. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this
Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. Whenever the
word “person” is used in this Agreement, it shall mean an individual, corporation, partnership,
association, limited liability company, joint stock company, trust, estate, unincorporated
organization, Governmental Entity, or any other legally recognizable entity. Whenever the words
“law” or “statute” are used in this Agreement, they shall mean any law, statute, ordinance,
regulation, permit, license, certificate, judgment, order, or award of any Governmental Entity.
The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and
shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No provision of this
Agreement shall be construed to require PSB, Conestoga or any of their respective Subsidiaries or
affiliates to take any action which would violate or conflict with any applicable law (whether
statutory or common), rule or regulation.
10.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall
be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been
signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all
parties need not sign the same counterpart.
10.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the documents and the
instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, other than the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and
effect in accordance with its terms.
10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (without giving effect to choice of law principles
thereof).
10.8 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or
affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any
other jurisdiction, and if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be
unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, in all
cases so long as neither the economic nor legal substance of the transactions contemplated
50
hereby is affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or its shareholders. Upon
any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a
suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.
10.9 Publicity. Conestoga and PSB shall consult with each other before issuing any
press release with respect to the Merger or this Agreement and neither Conestoga (or any of its
Subsidiaries) nor PSB (or any of its Subsidiaries) shall issue any such press release or make any
such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Conestoga or PSB may, without the
prior consent of the other party (but after prior consultation, to the extent practicable in the
circumstances) issue such press release or make such public statement as may upon the advice of
outside counsel be required by law or the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ National Market (in
the case of such a release or statement by PSB). Without limiting the reach of the preceding
sentence, Conestoga and PSB shall cooperate to develop all public announcement materials and shall
make appropriate management available at presentations related to the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement as reasonably requested by the other party.
10.10 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the
rights, interests or obligations of any party hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties
hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other
party. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Except as expressly provided in Section 7.7, this Agreement (including the documents and
instruments referred to herein) is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties
hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
10.11 Specific Performance; Jurisdiction. The parties agree that irreparable damage
would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the
parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and
to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Common Pleas of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any court of the United States located in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or
in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
PSB’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement by Conestoga or Merger Sub that
relates solely to a breach of their covenants to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement in accordance with Section 1.4 or any related covenants hereunder associated with
consummating such transactions, shall be limited to PSB’s exercise of its rights under Section
9.1(h) hereof to the extent available by the terms of that section. In addition, each of the
parties hereto: (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Common
Pleas of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any court of the United States located in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat
such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) agrees
that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Common Pleas of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any court of the United States
51
located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and (iv) consents to service being made through
the notice procedures set forth in Section 10.3. Each of Conestoga, Merger Sub, and PSB hereby
agrees that service of any process, summons, notice, or document by U.S. registered mail to the
respective addresses set forth in Section 10.3 shall be effective service of process for any suit
or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
10.12 Guarantee by Conestoga and Conestoga Bank. Conestoga and Conestoga Bank agree
to take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to
perform all of its respective agreements, covenants, and obligations under this Agreement.
Conestoga and Conestoga Bank guarantee to PSB the full and complete performance by Merger Sub or
the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, of their respective obligations under this Agreement and
shall be liable for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Merger
Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the extent provided in Section 9.1(h) of this
Agreement. This is a guarantee of payment and performance and not collection. Conestoga and
Conestoga Bank hereby waive diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any
right to require any proceeding first against Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as
applicable, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever in connection with the performance of its
obligations set forth in this Section 10.12.
