called to vote for approval of the Agreement and the Merger so that all shares of common stock of
PSB then owned by the undersigned or over which the undersigned exercises voting control
(collectively, “Shares”) will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at
such meetings, and agrees to vote or cause to be voted all such Shares, or to execute any written
consent of shareholders of PSB, in favor of approval and adoption of the Agreement, approval of the
Merger, and approval of the other transactions contemplated thereby (including any amendments or
modifications of the terms thereof approved by the Board of Directors of PSB and the Board of
Directors of Conestoga);

other transaction or proposal involving PSB or its subsidiaries that would prevent, nullify,
materially interfere with or delay the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the
Agreement;
(c) Agrees not to rescind or amend in any manner any prior vote or written consent, as a
shareholder of PSB, to approve or adopt the Agreement, approve the Merger or approve any other
transactions contemplated by the Agreement;
(d) Agrees to use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be completed;
(e) Except as required by law, agrees that the undersigned will not, and will not permit any
company, trust or other entity controlled by the undersigned to, contract to sell, sell, assign,
pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or dispose or encumber any of the Shares or any interest
therein or any voting rights with respect thereto, other than pursuant to a gift where the donee
has agreed in writing to abide by the terms of this Agreement; and provided that subsequent to the
shareholders meeting of PSB held in connection with the vote on the Agreement, the undersigned
shall be permitted to transfer, dispose or encumber up to 10,000 Shares.

compliance with the terms hereof by the undersigned will (a) violate, conflict with or result in a

authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Entity (as defined

prevent or materially delay the performance by the undersigned of any of his or her obligations
under this Letter Agreement; and
(h) Represents that (i) the undersigned is the record or beneficial owner of ___
Shares as of the date hereof (exclusive of the 2006, allocation under the PSB employee stock
ownership plan, if any), free and clear of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, encumbrance,
security interest or other adverse claim; (ii) as of the date hereof, the undersigned does not own,
of record or beneficially, any shares of outstanding capital stock of PSB other than such Shares;
(iii) the undersigned has sole power of disposition and sole voting power (to the extent such
securities have voting power), in each case with respect to all of such Shares and with no
restrictions on such rights; (iv) none of the Shares are subject to any agreement, arrangement or
restriction with respect to the voting of such Shares, except as contemplated by this Letter
Agreement; and (v) there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or otherwise,
obligating the undersigned to transfer or cause to be transferred any of such Shares, and no person
has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of such
Shares.

shares of capital stock or other securities of PSB, (ii) any securities which may be converted into
or exchanged for such shares or other securities or (iii) any securities issued in replacement of,
or as a dividend or distribution on, or otherwise in respect of, such shares or
other securities, then the terms of this Letter Agreement shall apply to any of such
