(i) 0.2475 Park Common Shares, which is the number of Park Common Shares (to the nearest ten thousandth of a share) equal to the quotient of $25.00 divided by the Park Exchange Value (the “Stock Exchange Ratio”) to be exchanged for each share of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to this election and owned by the holder thereof as of the Effective Time (the “Stock Election”); or

(ii) $25.00 in cash for each share of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to this election and owned by the holder thereof as of the Effective Time (the “Cash Election”).

Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.01(b), each holder of Vision Bancshares Common Stock shall be permitted to make any combination of the Stock Election and the Cash Election in whole share increments with respect to such holder’s shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock.

(b)

(i) Subject to adjustment for cash paid in lieu of fractional Park Common Shares in accordance with Section 3.04, 50% of the shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time shall be exchanged for Park Common Shares pursuant to the Stock Election, and 50% of the shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time shall be exchanged for cash in the amount of $25.00 per share pursuant to the Cash Election (treating all holders of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock who exercise dissenters’ rights pursuant to Article 13 of the Alabama Code as having made the Cash Election).

(ii) In the event that holders of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock representing more than 50% of the total number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time make the Cash Election and exercise dissenters’ rights pursuant to Article 13 of the Alabama Code with respect to such shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock, a number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the Cash Election shall be converted to shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the Stock Election so that the total number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the Cash Election and with respect to which dissenters’ rights have been exercised pursuant to Article 13 of the Alabama Code is equal to 50% of the total number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time. Except with respect to holders of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock who exercise dissenters’ rights pursuant to Article 13 of the Alabama Code, each holder of Vision Bancshares Common Stock that has made the Cash Election shall be subject to this conversion with respect to a number of such holder’s shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the Cash Election equal to the product of: (A) the total number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the conversion from the Cash Election to the Stock Election (which number shall exclude shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock as to which the holders have exercised dissenters’ rights pursuant to Article 13 of the Alabama Code),

multiplied by (B) the ratio of (1) the number of such holder’s shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the Cash Election, divided by (2) the total number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock as to which the holders have made the Cash Election (which number shall exclude shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock as to which the holders have exercised dissenters’ rights pursuant to Article 13 of the Alabama Code).

(iii) In the event that holders of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock representing more than 50% of the total number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time make the Stock Election, a number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the Stock Election shall be converted to shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the Cash Election so that the total number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the Stock Election (including shares of Vision Bancshares ISO Common Stock as to which the holders have made a separate Stock Election as provided in Section 3.02(g)) is equal to 50% of the total number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time. Except with respect to holders of Vision Bancshares ISO Common Stock who make a separate Stock Election with respect to such shares as provided in Section 3.02(g), each holder of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock that has made the Stock Election shall be subject to this conversion with respect to a number of such holder’s shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the Stock Election equal to the product of: (A) the total number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the conversion from the Stock Election to the Cash Election (which number shall exclude shares of Vision Bancshares ISO Common Stock as to which the holders have made a separate Stock Election as provided in Section 3.02(g)), multiplied by (B) the ratio of (1) the number of such holder’s shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the Stock Election, divided by (2) the total number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock as to which the holders have made the Stock Election (which number shall exclude shares of Vision Bancshares ISO Common Stock as to which the holders have made a separate Stock Election as provided in Section 3.02(g)).

3.02 Conversion of Shares.

(a) Outstanding Shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Vision Bancshares or the holders of record of Vision Bancshares Common Stock, each share of Vision Bancshares Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock to be cancelled or converted to treasury shares of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Section 3.02(b) and Vision Bancshares Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into and shall represent the right to receive, upon surrender of the Old Certificate representing such share of Vision Bancshares Common Stock, the Merger Consideration.

(b) Treasury Stock and Shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock Held by Park. At the Effective Time, all shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock, if any, held by Vision Bancshares as Treasury Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger, be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no Park Common Shares or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. At the Effective Time, all shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock, if any, that are beneficially owned by Park immediately prior to the Effective Time, upon conversion into Park Common Shares by virtue of the Merger, shall become treasury shares of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Outstanding Park Common Shares. All Park Common Shares, if any, that are owned directly by Vision Bancshares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become treasury shares of the Surviving Corporation. Each other Park Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be issued and outstanding and unaffected by the Merger.

(d) Procedures for Election. An election form and other appropriate transmittal materials in such form as Park and Vision Bancshares shall mutually agree (the “Election Form/Letter of Transmittal”) shall be mailed to shareholders of Vision Bancshares prior to the Election Period (defined below). The Election Form/Letter of Transmittal will permit holders of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock to elect, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.01 and 3.02, the form of Merger Consideration set forth in Section 3.01(a) (the “Election”) that they choose to receive in the Merger, will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to Old Certificates (as defined in Section 3.05(c)) will pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent and will include instructions and procedures for surrendering Old Certificates in exchange for New Certificates (as defined in Section 3.05(c)). The “Election Period” shall be such period of time as Park and Vision Bancshares shall mutually agree, within which holders of Vision Bancshares Common Stock may validly make an Election, occurring between (A) the date of the mailing by Vision Bancshares of the Proxy Statement for the Vision Bancshares Meeting at which this Agreement is presented for approval by the Vision Bancshares shareholders and (B) the Election Deadline. The “Election Deadline” shall be the time, specified by Park after consultation with Vision Bancshares, on the last day of the Election Period, which shall be the second trading day prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Perfection of the Election. An Election shall be considered to have been validly made by a holder of Vision Bancshares Common Stock only if (i) the Exchange Agent shall have received an Election Form/Letter of Transmittal properly completed and executed by such holder of Vision Bancshares Common Stock, accompanied by a certificate or certificates representing the shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock as to which such Election is being made, duly endorsed in blank or otherwise in form acceptable for transfer on the books of Vision Bancshares, or containing an appropriate guaranty of delivery in the form customarily used in transactions of this nature from a member of a national securities exchange or a member of the NASD or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States and (ii) such Election Form/Letter of Transmittal and such certificate(s) or such guaranty of delivery shall have been received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline.

(f) Withdrawal of Election. Any holder of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock or any other Person to whom the subject shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock are subsequently transferred may at any time prior to the Election Deadline revoke the Election and either (i) submit a new Election Form/Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the procedures in Section 3.02(e) or (ii) withdraw the certificate(s) for shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock deposited therewith by providing written notice that is received by the Exchange Agent by 5:00 p.m., local time for the Exchange Agent, on the business day prior to the Election Deadline. All Elections will be deemed to be revoked if this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

(g) Vision Bancshares ISO Common Stock. Any holder of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock who after the date of this Agreement has acquired such shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an “incentive stock option,” as defined in Section 422 of the Code (“Vision Bancshares ISO Common Stock”), shall automatically be deemed to have made the Stock Election in Section 3.01(a)(i) for all purposes if such holder submits the certificates for such shares of Vision Bancshares ISO Common Stock as a separate Stock Election for such shares. Nothing contained in this Section 3.02(g) shall be interpreted or construed to prevent any holder of Vision Bancshares ISO Common Stock from making the Election described in Section 3.02(d) with respect to any share of Vision Bancshares Common Stock which is not a share of Vision Bancshares ISO Common Stock. Certificates

representing shares of Vision Bancshares ISO Common Stock shall be marked with a legend indicating their status as shares of Vision Bancshares ISO Common Stock.

(h) No Election. Any holder of Vision Bancshares Common Stock as of the Effective Time who does not submit a properly completed and signed Election Form/Letter of Transmittal that is received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline, will be deemed to have made an election under Section 3.01(a) for all purposes herein for that form of Merger Consideration as to which less than 50% of the total number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock has been made. Park will have the discretion to disregard immaterial defects in an Election Form/Letter of Transmittal. If Park or its designee reasonably determines that any purported Stock Election or Cash Election was not properly made, such purported Election will be deemed to be of no force and effect and the holder making such Election will be deemed to have made an election in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3.02(h).

3.03 Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. At the Effective Time, the shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist and holders of Vision Bancshares Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Vision Bancshares, other than to receive the Merger Consideration provided under this Article III and dissenters’ rights under Article 13 of the Alabama Code in the case of Vision Bancshares Dissenting Shares. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Vision Bancshares or the Surviving Corporation of any shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock (other than Vision Bancshares Dissenting Shares, if applicable).

3.04 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional Park Common Shares and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger and no Park dividend or other distribution or stock split or combination will relate to any fractional Park Common Share, and such fractional Park Common Shares will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a security holder of Park. Instead, Park shall pay to each holder of Vision Bancshares Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional Park Common Share (after taking into account all Old Certificates delivered by such holder) an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fractional Park Common Share to which the holder would be entitled by the Park Exchange Value.

3.05 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Establishment of Exchange Fund. The First-Xxxx National Bank of Mount Xxxxxx, Mount Vernon, Ohio will act as agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for purposes of conducting the exchange and payment procedures as described in this Article III. Park shall provide to the Exchange Agent the aggregate number of Park Common Shares issuable pursuant to Section 3.01(a), the aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to Sections 3.01(a), 3.01(b) and 3.04 and the amount of all other cash payable in respect of the Merger, if any, on an “as needed” basis to the Exchange Agent, all of which shall be held by the Exchange Agent in trust for the holders of Vision Bancshares Common Stock (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall distribute Park Common Shares and make payment of such cash as provided herein. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the Park Common Shares held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold in trust for the recipients of Park Common Shares until distributed thereto pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such Park Common Shares for the account of the Persons entitled thereto. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as set forth in this Section 3.05.

(b) No Interest. No interest will be paid on any cash, including any cash to be paid in lieu of fractional Park Common Shares or in respect of dividends or distributions, that any Person shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article Three.

(c) Surrender Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Park shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate representing shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock (an “Old Certificate”) that was converted pursuant to Section 3.02, but that was not deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.02(d), both (i) a form of letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) specifying that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates will pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent and (ii) instructions and procedures for surrendering Old Certificates in exchange for certificates representing Park Common Shares (“New Certificates”). Upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, following the Effective Time, the holder of such Old Certificate shall receive within five business days of such surrender in exchange therefor (A) a New Certificate representing that number of whole Park Common Shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, and/or (B) a check in an amount equal to the sum of the cash to be paid to such holder as part of the Merger Consideration, the cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional Park Common Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.04 and/or the cash to be paid in respect of any dividends or distributions with respect to Park Common Shares to which such holder may be entitled pursuant to Section 3.06, after giving effect to any required tax withholdings, and the Old Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of Vision Bancshares, a New Certificate representing the proper number of Park Common Shares may be issued, and/or the cash to be paid as part of the Merger Consideration, in lieu of any fractional Park Common Shares and/or in respect of any dividends or distributions with respect to Park Common Shares may be paid pursuant to Section 3.06, to a transferee if the Old Certificate is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer, and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.05(c), each Old Certificate will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a New Certificate and/or a check in an amount equal to the sum of the cash to be paid as part of the Merger Consideration, the cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional Park Common Shares and/or the cash to be paid in respect of any dividends or distributions with respect to Park Common Shares to which the holder may be entitled pursuant to Section 3.06 hereof.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Vision Bancshares Old Certificates. If any Old Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Park, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Park may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate (i) the number of Park Common Shares to which such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(a) with respect to the shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock formerly represented thereby, and/or (ii) a check in an amount equal to the sum of the cash to be paid to such Person as part of the Merger Consideration, the cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional Park Common Shares to which such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 3.04 and/or the cash to be paid in respect of any dividends or distributions with respect to Park Common Shares to which such Person may be entitled pursuant to Section 3.06.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund delivered to the Exchange Agent by Park pursuant to Section 3.05(a) that remains undistributed to the shareholders of Vision Bancshares for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any shareholders of Vision Bancshares who have not complied with this

Article III by such time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of a fractional Park Common Share interest, and any dividends or distributions with respect to Park Common Shares payable in accordance with Section 3.06, in each case without interest.

(f) No Liability. None of Park, Vision Bancshares, the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any former holder of Vision Bancshares Common Stock for any payment of the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of a fractional Park Common Share interest, or any dividends or distributions with respect to Park Common Shares payable in accordance with Section 3.06, delivered to a public official if required by any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(g) Withholding Rights. Park or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Vision Bancshares Common Stock such amounts as Park or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and Treasury Regulations, or any other provision of domestic or foreign tax Law (whether national, federal, state, provincial, local or otherwise). To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Park or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Vision Bancshares Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made.

(h) Waiver. The Surviving Corporation may from time to time, in the case of one or more Persons, waive one or more of the rights provided to it in this Article III to withhold certain payments, deliveries and distributions; and no such waiver shall constitute a waiver of its rights thereafter to withhold any such payment, delivery or distribution in the case of any Person.

3.06 Park Dividends and Distributions. Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Park on the Park Common Shares, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, the declaration shall include dividends or other distributions on all Park Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement, but no dividend or other distribution payable to the holders of record of Park Common Shares as of any time subsequent to the Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any Old Certificate until such holder surrenders such Old Certificate for exchange as provided in this Article III. Upon surrender of such Old Certificate, both the Merger Consideration (without interest) and any declared and unpaid dividends payable under this Section 3.06 (without interest) shall be delivered and paid with respect to the shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate.

3.07 Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event Park changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of Park Common Shares issued and outstanding between the date hereof and the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, split up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding Park Common Shares and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Stock Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted.

3.08 Vision Bancshares Stock Options; Vision Bancshares ESPP.

(a) Each outstanding option to purchase shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock under the Vision Bancshares Stock Plans whether vested or unvested, exercisable or un-exercisable (each, a “Vision Bancshares Stock Option”) that has not been exercised and paid for in full in a manner permitted under the terms of the applicable Vision Bancshares Stock Plan on or before the Election Deadline shall be surrendered, cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to (i) the product of $25.00 multiplied by the number of shares of Vision Bancshares Common

Stock subject to the portion of such Vision Bancshares Stock Option which has not been exercised on or before the Election Deadline, minus (ii) the aggregate exercise price for the shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock subject to the portion of such Vision Bancshares Stock Option which has not been exercised on or before the Election Deadline. Prior to the Election Deadline, Vision Bancshares shall take all actions necessary to cause any provision under plans, programs or arrangements providing for the issuance or grant of any interest in respect of the capital stock of Vision Bancshares or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate as of the Election Deadline, and Vision Bancshares shall ensure that following the Election Deadline, no Employee, Consultant or Director shall have any Rights, other than the right to receive the cash payment described in the first sentence of this Section 3.08(a), in respect of shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock or any other equity interest in Vision Bancshares under the Vision Bancshares Stock Plans or any other plans, programs or arrangements providing for the issuance or grant of any other Right in respect of the capital stock of Vision Bancshares or any Subsidiary.

(b) Prior to the Election Deadline, Vision Bancshares shall take all actions necessary pursuant to the terms of the Vision Bancshares ESPP to terminate the Vision Bancshares ESPP (and all outstanding Vision Bancshares Stock Subscriptions and other Rights thereunder) effective as of the Election Deadline. Any Employee who is a participant in the Vision Bancshares ESPP and who has not paid the entire balance due for any shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock for which such Employee has subscribed pursuant to the terms of the Vision Bancshares ESPP may pay such balance in full on or prior to the Election Deadline and receive the applicable shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock. The failure of a participating Employee to pay such balance in full on or prior to the Election Deadline will be treated as a cancellation of the Employee’s Vision Bancshares Stock Subscription(s) and Vision Bancshares will refund (without interest) all amounts the Employee has had withheld or has paid with respect to the canceled Vision Bancshares Stock Subscription(s).

(c) Prior to the Election Deadline, the Vision Bancshares Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Vision Bancshares Stock Plans and/or the Vision Bancshares ESPP) shall adopt such resolutions and take such actions as are necessary to carry out the terms of this Section 3.08 (without the creation of any additional liability for Vision Bancshares or any of its Subsidiaries).

3.09 Vision Bancshares Dissenting Shares. Anything contained in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, if any holder of an outstanding share of Vision Bancshares Common Stock as of the Effective Time seeks relief as a dissenting shareholder under Article 13 of the Alabama Code (a “Vision Bancshares Dissenting Share”), then such Vision Bancshares Dissenting Share shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and instead:

(a) Each such Vision Bancshares Dissenting Share shall nevertheless be deemed to be extinguished at the Effective Time as provided elsewhere in this Agreement; and

(b) Each holder perfecting such dissenters’ rights shall thereafter have only such rights (and shall have such obligations) as are provided in Article 13 of the Alabama Code, and the Surviving Corporation shall be required to deliver only such cash payments to which the Vision Bancshares Dissenting Shares are entitled pursuant to Article 13 of the Alabama Code; provided, however, that if any such Person shall forfeit such right to payment of the fair value under Article 13 of the Alabama Code, each such holder’s Vision Bancshares Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, as shall have been designated by each such holder, subject to Section 3.01.

Any Election Form/Letter of Transmittal or Letter of Transmittal submitted by a holder of Vision Bancshares Dissenting Shares shall be invalid, unless and until the demand for payment of the fair value

of the shares of Vision Bancshares Common Stock shall have been or is deemed to have been withdrawn or forfeited.

Any payments made in respect of Vision Bancshares Dissenting Shares shall be made by Park.

	(3)		comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto;

	(5)		were prepared on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved; and

(ii) Except as disclosed in Section 5.02(g)(ii) of the Vision Bancshares Disclosure Schedule and except as arising under this Agreement, neither Vision Bancshares nor any of its Subsidiaries has any debt, liability, guarantee or obligation of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due), other than debts, liabilities, guarantees and obligations which, individually or in the aggregate, do not exceed $10,000, except for those liabilities that

are reflected or reserved against on the consolidated balance sheet of Vision Bancshares included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006 (including any footnotes thereto). Except as disclosed in Section 5.02(g)(ii) of the Vision Bancshares Disclosure Schedule, all debts, liabilities and guarantees and obligations of Vision Bancshares and its Subsidiaries since June 30, 2006 have been incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and are usual and normal in amount both individually and in the aggregate.

(iii) The records, systems, controls, data and information of Vision Bancshares and its Subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are under the exclusive ownership and direct control of Vision Bancshares or one of its Subsidiaries or their respective accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom), except for any non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the system of internal accounting controls described below in this Section 5.02(g)(iii).

Vision Bancshares (1) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to Vision Bancshares and its Subsidiaries is made known to management of Vision Bancshares by others within Vision Bancshares and its Subsidiaries as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required by the Exchange Act with respect to the Vision Bancshares SEC Documents, and (2) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to Vision Bancshares’ outside auditors and the audit committee of the Vision Bancshares Board (y) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect Vision Bancshares’ ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (z) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Vision Bancshares’ internal control over financial reporting. These disclosures were made in writing by management to Vision Bancshares’ auditors and audit committee and a copy has previously been made available to Park. As of the date hereof, there is no reason to believe that Vision Bancshares’ outside auditors and its principal executive officer and principal financial offer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Sections 302, 404 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act,

without qualification (except to the extent expressly permitted by such rules and regulations), when next due.

(f) Financial Statements; Internal Controls.

(i) Park has previously delivered to Vision Bancshares true and complete copies of (A) Park’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended, including the footnotes thereto, if any, additional or supplemental information supplied therewith and the report prepared in connection therewith by the independent registered public accounting firm auditing such financial statements; and (B) Park’s interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for three and six months ended June 30, 2006. The documents described in clauses (A) and (B) above (collectively, the “Park Financial Statements”):

	(1)		are true, complete and correct;

	(2)		are in accordance with the books and records of Park;

	(3)		comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto;

	(4)		fairly and accurately present the consolidated financial condition of Park and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof, and their respective consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, as applicable (except in each case as may be noted therein and subject, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, to the absence of full footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments that are not material in amount or in effect);

	(5)		were prepared on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved; and

	(6)		have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited financial statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except in each case as may be noted therein and subject, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, to the absence of full footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments that are not material in amount or in effect).

(ii) The records, systems, controls, data and information of Park and its Subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are under the exclusive ownership and direct control of Park or one of its Subsidiaries or their respective accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom), except for any non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the system of internal accounting controls described below in this Section 5.03(f)(ii). Park and its Subsidiaries have devised and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial

statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including that: (A) transactions are executed only in accordance with management’s authorization; (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements of Park and its Subsidiaries in conformity with GAAP consistently applied with respect to any criteria applicable to such financial statements and to maintain accountability for the property and assets of Park and its Subsidiaries; (C) access to such property and assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s authorization; (D) the reporting of such property and assets is compared with existing property and assets at regular intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences; and (E) accounts, notes and other receivables and inventory are recorded accurately, and proper and adequate procedures are implemented to effect the collection thereof on a current and timely basis. Park (1) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to Park and its Subsidiaries is made known to the management of Park by others within Park and its Subsidiaries as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required by the Exchange Act with respect to the Park SEC Documents, and (2) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to Park’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Park Board (y) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect Park’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (z) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Park’s internal control over financial reporting. As of the date hereof, there is no reason to believe that Park’s outside auditors and its principal executive officer and principal financial officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Sections 302, 404 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, without qualification (except to the extent expressly permitted by such rules and regulations), when next due.

(iv) Since December 31, 2005, (A) neither Park nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to Park’s knowledge, any director, officer, employee, auditor, accountant or representative of Park or any of its Subsidiaries has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of Park or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective internal accounting controls, including any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that Park or one of its Subsidiaries has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices, and (B) no attorney representing Park or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by Park or one of its Subsidiaries, has reported evidence of a material violation of securities Laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by Park or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents to the Park Board or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of Park.

Documents”) as of the date filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement then on the date of such amended or superseded filing), (A) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and (B) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(ii) Since December 31, 2005, no event has occurred or circumstance arisen that, individually or taken together with all other facts, circumstances and events (described in any paragraph of Section 5.03 or otherwise), is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Park, except as disclosed in the Park SEC Documents.

(h) Litigation.

(i) There is no suit, action, investigation, audit or proceeding (whether judicial, arbitral, administrative or other) pending or, to Park’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Park or any of its Subsidiaries, which, if adversely determined against Park or the relevant Subsidiary of Park, would have a Material Adverse Effect on Park or would prevent the consummation of the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or declare the same to be unlawful or cause the rescission thereof.

(ii) has all permits, licenses, authorizations, orders and approvals of, and has made all filings, applications and registrations with, all Governmental Authorities and Regulatory Authorities that are required in order to permit them to own or lease their respective properties and to conduct their respective businesses as presently conducted, except where the failure to obtain any of the foregoing or to make any such filing, application or registration has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Park; all such permits, licenses, certificates of authority, orders and approvals are in full force and effect; and, to Park’s knowledge, no suspension or cancellation of any of them has been threatened in writing; and

(iii) has not received, since December 31, 2005, any written notification or communication from any Governmental Authority or Regulatory Authority:

(C) restricting or disqualifying in any material respect any of their activities (except for restrictions generally imposed by rule, regulation or administrative policy on banking organizations generally).

(k) Tax Matters. Park and its Subsidiaries have timely filed all Tax Returns required to be filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority. Such Tax Returns are and will be true, correct and complete in all material respects. Park and its Subsidiaries have paid and discharged all Taxes due (whether reflected on such Tax Returns or otherwise), other than such Taxes that are adequately reserved as shown on the Park Financial Statements or have arisen in the ordinary course of business since June 30, 2006 or Taxes the nonpayment of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Park. Neither the IRS nor any other Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign, has asserted, is now asserting or, to the knowledge of Park, is threatening to assert against Park or any of its Subsidiaries any material deficiency or claim for additional Taxes. No federal, state, local or foreign Tax audits or administrative or judicial Tax proceedings are pending or being conducted with respect to Park or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of Park, no such audit or proceeding is threatened.

No extension of time within which to file any Tax Return (for a period with respect to which the statute of limitations has not expired) has been filed, or has been requested or granted. The accruals and reserves for Taxes reflected in the Park Financial Statements are adequate in all material respects for the periods covered. Park and its Subsidiaries have withheld or collected and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authorities or are properly holding for such payment all material Taxes required by Law to be withheld or collected. There are no Liens for Taxes upon the assets of Park or any of its Subsidiaries, other than Liens for current Taxes not yet due and payable.

As of the date hereof, neither Park nor any of its Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that any conditions exist that might prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(l) Books and Records. The books and records of Park and its Subsidiaries have been fully, properly and accurately maintained in all material respects, have been maintained in accordance with sound business practices and the requirements of Section 13(b)(2) of the Exchange Act, and there are no material inaccuracies or discrepancies of any kind contained or reflected therein and they fairly reflect the substance of events and transactions included in such books and records.

(i) as disclosed in the Park Financial Statements; or

(ii) as would not be required to be publicly disclosed by Park pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(p) Bank Secrecy Act, Anti-Money Laundering and OFAC and Customer Information. Park is not aware of, has not been advised in writing of, and has no reason to believe that any facts or circumstances exist, which would cause Park or any of its Subsidiaries to be deemed (i) to be operating in violation in any material respect of the Bank Secrecy Act, the Patriot Act, any order issued with respect to anti-money laundering by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other applicable anti-money laundering Law; or (ii) not to be in satisfactory compliance in any material respect with the applicable privacy and customer information requirements contained in any federal and state privacy Laws, including, without limitation, in Title V of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as well as the provisions of the information security program adopted by Park pursuant to 12 C.F.R Part 40. Park is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause Park to believe that any non-public customer information has been disclosed to or accessed by an unauthorized third party in a manner that would cause Park or any of its Subsidiaries to undertake any material remedial action. The Park Board (or, where appropriate, the board of directors of one of Park’s Subsidiaries) has adopted and implemented an anti-money laundering program that contains adequate and appropriate customer identification verification procedures that comply with Section 326 of the Patriot Act and such anti-money laundering program meets the requirements in all material respects of Section 352 of the Patriot Act and the regulations thereunder, and Park (or the appropriate Subsidiary) has

Park agrees to prepare, pursuant to all applicable Laws, a registration statement on Form S-4 (such registration statement and all amendments or supplements thereto, the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by Park with the SEC in connection with the issuance of Park Common Shares in the Merger (including the proxy statement and other proxy solicitation materials of Vision Bancshares constituting a part thereof (the “Proxy Statement”) and all related documents). Vision Bancshares agrees to cooperate, and to cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate, with Park, its legal counsel and its accountants, in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement; and provided that Vision Bancshares and its Subsidiaries have cooperated as required above, Park agrees to file the Registration Statement, which will include the Proxy Statement and a prospectus in respect of the Park Common Shares to be issued in the Merger (together, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable. Park and Vision Bancshares shall cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of AMEX. Each of Vision Bancshares and Park agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement, including the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Park also agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, all necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Vision Bancshares agrees to promptly furnish to Park all information concerning Vision Bancshares, its Subsidiaries, and their respective officers, directors and shareholders as may be reasonably requested in connection with the foregoing. Each of Park and Vision Bancshares shall promptly notify the other upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and shall promptly provide the other with copies of all correspondence between it and its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), filing or mailing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, each of Park and Vision Bancshares, as the case may be, (i) shall provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response, (ii) shall include in such document or response all comments reasonably proposed by such other party, and (iii) shall not file or mail such document or respond to the SEC without receiving such other party’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) Information Supplied. Each of Vision Bancshares and Park agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, is filed with the SEC and at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, and (ii) the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to the Vision Bancshares shareholders and at the time of the Vision Bancshares Meeting, as the case may be, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading or any statement which, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made, will be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or which will omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading or necessary to correct any statement in any earlier statement in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. Each of Vision Bancshares and Park further agrees that if it shall become aware prior to the Effective Time of any information furnished by it that would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement and

the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

(c) Notice of Effectiveness and Changes. Park agrees to advise Vision Bancshares, promptly after Park receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of Park Common Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or for additional information.

6.04 Press Releases. Each of Vision Bancshares and Park agrees that it will not, without the prior approval of the other party, issue any press release or written statement for general circulation relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that such press release or written statement may be required by applicable Law or AMEX rules to be made before such consent can be obtained.

6.05 Access; Information.

(a) Each party agrees that upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, it shall afford the other party and its officers, employees, legal counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, such access during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, or to the termination of this Agreement, to the books, records (including, without limitation, Tax Returns and work papers of independent auditors), properties, personnel and to such other information as the other party may reasonably request and, during such period,

(i) each party shall furnish promptly to the other party all information concerning the business, properties and personnel of a party and its Subsidiaries as the other party may reasonably request,

(ii) Vision Bancshares shall furnish promptly to Park a copy of each material report, schedule and other document filed by Vision Bancshares pursuant to any federal or state securities or banking Laws, and

(iii) Park shall furnish promptly to Vision Bancshares a copy of each material report, schedule and other document filed by Park pursuant to any federal or state securities or banking Laws.

Neither party shall be required to provide access to the other party or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of a party’s customers, jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) Use of Information; Confidentiality. Each of Park and Vision Bancshares agrees that it will not, and will cause its representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.05 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Except for the use of information in connection with the Registration

Statement described in Section 6.03(a) and any other filings with Governmental Authorities or Regulatory Authorities required in order to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or as required in order to comply with applicable Laws or the rules of any national securities exchange or market where each party’s securities are traded, all information (collectively, the “Information”) received by each of Vision Bancshares and Park (as well as their respective representatives, successors and assigns), pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be kept in strictest confidence; provided, however, that subsequent to the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC, this Section 6.05 shall not apply to information included in the Registration Statement or to be included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be sent to the shareholders of Vision Bancshares under Section 6.03. Vision Bancshares and Park agree, for themselves and their respective representatives, successors and assigns, that the Information will be used only for the purpose of completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of all applicable Laws, each party will keep confidential, and will cause its representatives, successors and assigns, to keep confidential, all Information and documents obtained (as well as any other Information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) unless and only to the extent such Information (i) was already known to such party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure, (ii) becomes available to such party from other sources not known by such party to be bound by a confidentiality obligation, (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the party to which such Information pertains, (iv) is or becomes readily ascertainable from published information or trade sources, or (v) is such that such party is required by Law or court order to disclose. If any party is required or reasonably believes that it is required to disclose any Information described in this Section 6.05(b) by (A) applicable Law, (B) any court of competent jurisdiction or (C) any inquiry or investigation by any Governmental Authority or Regulatory Authority that is lawfully entitled to require any such disclosure, such party (the “Required Party”) shall, so far so it is lawful, notify the other party of such required disclosure on the same day that the Required Party (1) is notified of a request for such disclosure from the relevant Governmental Authority or Regulatory Authority or (2) determines that such disclosure is required, whichever is earlier. Immediately thereafter, and to the extent practical on the same day, and subject to applicable Laws, the parties shall discuss and use their reasonable best efforts to agree as to the mandatory nature, the required timing and the required content of such disclosure. The Required Party shall furnish only that portion of the Information described in this Section 6.05 that is legally required to be disclosed and shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Information described in this Section 6.05 so furnished. The Information shall not be used in any way detrimental to a party including use directly or indirectly in the conduct of the other party’s business or an enterprise in which such other party may have an interest, now or in the future, and whether or not in competition with such other party. In the event that this Agreement is terminated or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall otherwise fail to be consummated, each party shall promptly cause all Information relating to the other party, and furnished by the other party or prepared pursuant to Information provided by the other party regardless of who prepared the Information, to be returned to the party that furnished the same or to be destroyed. It is agreed and understood that the obligations of Vision Bancshares and Park contained in this Section 6.05 shall survive the Closing. No investigation by either party of the business and affairs of the other shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or the conditions to any party’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Subsequent Financial Information. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, each party shall promptly furnish to the other party copies of all monthly and other interim financial statements produced in the ordinary course of business as the same shall become available.

6.06 Acquisition Proposals. Vision Bancshares agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Vision Bancshares’ and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, agents, advisors and

affiliates not to, solicit, initiate or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to, or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Vision Bancshares Board from (a) making any disclosure to the Vision Bancshares shareholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Vision Bancshares Board, after having consulted with and considered the advice of outside legal counsel to the Vision Bancshares Board, failure so to disclose would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided further, however, that any such disclosure regarding an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a Change in Recommendation unless the Vision Bancshares Board reaffirms the Vision Bancshares Recommendation; (b) before the date of the Vision Bancshares Meeting, providing (or authorizing the provision of) information to, or engaging in (or authorizing) such discussions or negotiations with, any Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal received after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.06; or (c) recommending such an Acquisition Proposal to the Vision Bancshares shareholders if and only to the extent that, in the case of actions referred to in clause (b) and/or clause (c), (i) such Acquisition Proposal is, or is reasonably expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, (ii) the Vision Bancshares Board after having consulted with and considered the advice of outside legal counsel to the Vision Bancshares Board determines in good faith that providing such information or engaging in such negotiations or discussions, or making such recommendation is required in order to discharge the directors’ fiduciary duties to Vision Bancshares and its shareholders in accordance with applicable Law, and (iii) Vision Bancshares receives from such Person a confidentiality agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” means any Acquisition Proposal by a third party on terms that the Vision Bancshares Board determines in its good faith judgment, after receiving the advice of its financial advisors, to be materially more favorable from a financial point of view to Vision Bancshares and its shareholders than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, after taking into account the likelihood of consummation of such transaction on the terms set forth therein, taking into account all legal, financial (including the financing terms of any such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of such proposal and any other relevant factors permitted under applicable Laws. Vision Bancshares also shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with any parties other than Park with respect to any of the foregoing. Vision Bancshares shall promptly (within one business day) advise Park following the receipt by Vision Bancshares of any Acquisition Proposal and the material terms thereof (including the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal), and advise Park of any developments (including any change in such terms) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal promptly upon the occurrence thereof, including the response of the Vision Bancshares Board thereto. Vision Bancshares shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of or release any of its rights under any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party. Vision Bancshares shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Laws, the provisions of any such agreement, including, but not limited to, by obtaining an injunction to prevent any breaches of such agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in any court having jurisdiction. Nothing contained in this Section 6.06 or any other provision of this Agreement will prohibit Vision Bancshares or the Vision Bancshares Board from notifying any third party that contacts Vision Bancshares on an unsolicited basis after the date of this Agreement concerning an Acquisition Proposal of Vision Bancshares’ obligations under this Section 6.06.

6.07 Affiliate Agreements. Not later than the 15th day prior to the mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Vision Bancshares shall deliver to Park a schedule of each Person that, to the best of Vision Bancshares’ knowledge, is or is reasonably likely to be, as of the date of the Vision Bancshares Meeting, deemed to be an “affiliate” of Vision Bancshares (each, a “Vision Bancshares Affiliate”) as that term is used in Rule 145 under the Securities Act. Vision Bancshares shall cause each Person who may be deemed to be a Vision Bancshares Affiliate to execute and deliver to Vision Bancshares on or before the date of mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus an agreement in the form attached hereto as

Exhibit B. Vision Bancshares shall deliver such executed agreements of the Vision Bancshares Affiliates to Park at the Closing.

6.08 Takeover Laws. No party hereto shall take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be subject to requirements imposed by any Takeover Law and each of them shall take all necessary steps within its control to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from, or, if necessary, challenge the validity or applicability of, any applicable Takeover Law, as now or hereafter in effect. Neither party will take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated hereby not to comply with any Takeover Provisions and each of them will take all necessary steps within its control to make those transactions comply with (or continue to comply with) the Takeover Provisions.

6.09 No Rights Triggered. Vision Bancshares shall take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that the entering into of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and any other action or combination of actions, or any other transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not result in the grant of any rights to any Person (a) under the Governing Documents of Vision Bancshares or any of its Subsidiaries or (b) under any Material Contract to which Vision Bancshares or any of its Subsidiaries is a party except as contemplated by this Agreement.

6.10 Conformance of Policies and Practices. Prior to the Effective Time, Vision Bancshares shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, consistent with GAAP and on a basis and on timing mutually satisfactory to it and Park, modify and change their respective loan, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves) as well as other management and operating policies and practices so as to be applied on a basis that is consistent with those of Park and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that Vision Bancshares shall not be obligated to take any such action pursuant to this Section 6.10 involving a valuation adjustment or earnings charge earlier than 30 days prior to the Effective Time, and unless and until Park acknowledges that all conditions to the obligation of Park to consummate the Merger have been satisfied and certifies to Vision Bancshares that Park’s representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects as of such date and that Park is otherwise materially in compliance with this Agreement. Vision Bancshares’ representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be untrue or breached in any respect for any purpose as a consequence of any modifications or changes undertaken solely on account of this Section 6.10.

6.11 Transition. Vision Bancshares shall reasonably cooperate with Park in order to facilitate an orderly transition of the management of the business of Vision Bancshares to Park and in order to facilitate the integration of the operations of Vision Bancshares and Park and to permit the coordination of their related operations on a timely basis. To accelerate to the earliest time possible following the Effective Time the realization of synergies, operating efficiencies and other benefits expected to be realized by Vision Bancshares and Park as a result of the Merger, Vision Bancshares shall consult with Park on all strategic and operational matters to the extent such consultation is not in violation of applicable Laws, including Laws regarding the exchange of information and other Laws regarding competition. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 6.05(b), Park and its officers, employees, legal counsel, financial advisors and other representatives shall, upon reasonable written notice to Vision Bancshares, be entitled to review the operations and visit the facilities of Vision Bancshares and its Subsidiaries at all times as may be deemed reasonably necessary by Park in order to accomplish the foregoing arrangements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement gives Park, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct or to unreasonably interfere with Vision Bancshares’ or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, Vision Bancshares and its Subsidiaries shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over their respective operations.

6.12 Reports. Each of Vision Bancshares and Park shall file (and shall cause Vision Bancshares’ Subsidiaries and Park’s Subsidiaries, respectively, to file), between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, all reports required to be filed by it (or them) with the SEC and any other Regulatory Authorities having jurisdiction over such party, and Vision Bancshares shall deliver to Park copies of all such reports promptly after the same are filed. If financial statements are contained in any such reports filed with the SEC, such financial statements will fairly present the consolidated financial position of the entity filing such financial statements as of the dates indicated and the consolidated results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods then ended in accordance with GAAP (subject in the case of interim financial statements to the absence of full footnotes and to normal recurring year-end audit adjustments that are not material in amount or in effect). As of their respective dates, such reports filed with the SEC will comply in all material respects with the federal securities Laws and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein not misleading. Any financial statements contained in any reports to a Regulatory Authority shall be prepared in accordance with requirements applicable to such reports.

6.13 Exchange Listing. Park will use all reasonable best efforts to cause the Park Common Shares to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on AMEX, subject to official notice of issuance, as promptly as practicable, and in any event before the Effective Time.

6.14 Regulatory Applications.

(a) Preparation and Filing. Park and Vision Bancshares and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare all documentation and requests for regulatory approvals, to timely effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities and Regulatory Authorities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Park and Vision Bancshares shall provide all information required from it and its Subsidiaries in order to enable the other to make necessary filings. Such information shall be delivered within five business days of a written request for such information. Each of Park and Vision Bancshares shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable, each will consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to, and shall be provided in advance so as to reasonably exercise its right to review in advance, all material written information submitted to any third party or any Governmental Authority or Regulatory Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party hereto agrees that it will consult with the other party hereto with respect to the obtaining of all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities and Regulatory Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Information to be Furnished. Each party agrees, upon request, to furnish the other party with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of such other party or any of its Subsidiaries to any third party or Governmental Authority or Regulatory Authority.

6.15 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnity by Park. Following the Effective Date, Park shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless all Directors, Officers and Employees of Vision Bancshares and its Subsidiaries (each, an

“Indemnified Party”) against all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of actions or omissions or alleged actions or omissions in the course of the Indemnified Party’s duties as a director, officer or employee of Vision Bancshares or one of its Subsidiaries occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the fullest extent that Vision Bancshares is permitted to indemnify (and advance expenses to) its directors, officers and employees under the laws of the States of Alabama and, as appropriate, Florida, and consistent with the terms and conditions of the Vision Bancshares Articles and the Vision Bancshares Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Park shall not be obligated to indemnify a director, officer or employee for acts or omissions of such director, officer or employee that were beyond the scope of the duties of such director, officer or employee as a director, officer or employee of Vision Bancshares or one of its Subsidiaries. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnified Party’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under the Vision Bancshares Articles, the Vision Bancshares Bylaws and applicable Law for indemnification shall be made by the court in which the claim, action, suit or proceeding was brought or by independent legal counsel (which shall not be legal counsel that provides services to Park) selected by Park and reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party or selected by the Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to Park. As a condition to receiving such indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall assign to Park, by separate writing, all right, title and interest in and to the proceeds of the Indemnified Party’s applicable insurance coverage, if any, including insurance maintained or provided by Park or Vision Bancshares or any of their respective Subsidiaries to the extent of such indemnity. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to such indemnification with respect to a claim (i) if such Indemnified Party fails to cooperate in the defense and investigation of such claim as to which indemnification may be made, (ii) made by such Indemnified Party against Park, any Subsidiary of Park, Vision Bancshares or any Subsidiary of Vision Bancshares arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the conduct of the business of Park, the Subsidiary of Park, Vision Bancshares or the Subsidiary of Vision Bancshares, or (iii) if such Person fails to deliver such notices as may be required under any applicable directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy to preserve any possible claims of which the Indemnified Party is aware, to the extent such failure results in the denial of payment under such policy.

(b) D&O Insurance. For a period of three years from the Effective Time, Park shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide that portion of director’s and officer’s liability insurance that serves to reimburse the present and former Officers and Directors of Vision Bancshares or its Subsidiaries (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against such Directors and Officers arising from facts or events that occurred before the Effective Time, on terms no less favorable than those in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that Park may substitute therefor policies providing at least comparable coverage containing terms and conditions no less favorable than those in effect on the date of this Agreement; and provided, further, that Officers and Directors of Vision Bancshares or its Subsidiaries may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to Park’s insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining such insurance; and provided, further, in no event shall the annual premium on such policy exceed 125% of the annual premium payments on Vision Bancshares’ policy in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum Amount”). If the amount of the premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, Park shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance obtainable for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount.

(c) Procedures; Limitations. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.15(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, shall promptly notify Park thereof; provided that the failure so to notify shall not affect the obligations of

Park under Section 6.15(a) unless and to the extent that Park is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. In the event of a claim (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Park shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Park shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other legal counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Park elects not to assume such defense or legal counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues that raise conflicts of interest between Park and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain legal counsel satisfactory to them, and Park shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such legal counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Park shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (c) to pay for only one firm of legal counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one legal counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such legal counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) Park shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that Park shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(d) Legal Successors. If Park 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 entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Park shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.15.

(e) Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Section 6.15 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.

6.16 Employment Agreements; Opportunity of Employment; Employee Benefits.

(a) Employment Agreements. As of the date of this Agreement, Park and Vision Alabama and/or Vision Florida shall enter into an employment agreement with each of (i) J. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, (ii) Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, (iii) Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, (iv) Xxxx X. Xxxx, (v) Xxxxxx X. XxXxxx, (vi) Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, (vii) Xxxxx Files, (viii) Xxxxx Fly, (ix) Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, (x) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, (xi) Xxxxxx XxXxxxx-Xxxxxxx and (xii) Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (the “Employment Agreements”), forms of each of which are attached hereto as Exhibits X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, C-8, C-9, C-10, C-11 and C-12, respectively, and each of which shall become effective at the Effective Time if the Closing occurs as provided in Section 2.03 of this Agreement. Each Employment Agreement will replace and supersede the current employment agreement, change in control and non-competition agreement or change in control agreement with Vision Bancshares and/or one of the Subsidiaries of Vision Bancshares to which the relevant individual is a party, if any.

(b) Opportunity of Employment. Each existing Employee of Vision Bancshares or a Subsidiary of Vision Bancshares who has not entered into an Employment Agreement as contemplated by Section 6.16(a) and who is actively employed at the Effective Time shall have the opportunity to continue as an at-will employee of Park or one of Park’s Subsidiaries. It is understood and agreed that except as provided in Section 6.16(a), nothing in this Section 6.16 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract of employment or be construed to give any Employee of Vision Bancshares and/or its Subsidiaries any rights other than as employees at will under applicable Law and said Employees shall not be deemed to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.16(b).

(c) Employee Benefits. Employees of Vision Bancshares and/or its Subsidiaries who continue as employees of Park or one of Park’s Subsidiaries from and after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) shall continue to participate in the Compensation and Benefit Plans in which they participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, unless and until Park, in its sole discretion, shall determine that the Continuing Employees shall, subject to applicable eligibility requirements, participate in employee benefit plans of Park or a Subsidiary of Park, and that some or all of the Compensation and Benefit Plans shall be frozen, terminated or merged into certain employee benefit plans of Park or one of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Continuing Employee shall be credited with years of service with Vision Bancshares, the appropriate Vision Bancshares Subsidiary and, to the extent credit would have been given by Vision Bancshares or the appropriate Vision Bancshares Subsidiary for years of service with a predecessor (including any business organization acquired by Vision Bancshares or any Vision Bancshares Subsidiary), of Vision Bancshares or any Vision Bancshares Subsidiary, for purposes of entitlement to benefits, including for severance benefits and vacation entitlement, eligibility, vesting and level of benefits (but not for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan) in the employee benefit plans of Park. Service with Vision Bancshares and the appropriate Vision Bancshares Subsidiary shall apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations with respect to any Park employee benefit plan that is a group health plan. Each Park employee benefit plan that is a group health plan shall waive pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent waived under the applicable Vision Bancshares Compensation and Benefit Plan that is a group health plan. Continuing Employees shall be given credit for amounts paid under a corresponding group health plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, copayments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Park group health plan. Park shall, before the Effective Time, adopt resolutions that amend its employee benefit plans to provide for the Vision Bancshares or Vision Bancshares Subsidiary service credits referenced herein.

(d) Survival. The covenants in this Section 6.16 shall survive the Merger.

6.17 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) as set forth in Sections 8.03, 9.01 and 9.05; and

(b) that termination will not relieve a breaching party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement giving rise to such termination. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage will occur in the event that a party breaches any of its obligations, duties, covenants and agreements contained herein. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled by Law or in equity.

8.03 Termination Fee; Expenses.

(a) Obligation to Pay Termination Fee. Vision Bancshares shall promptly pay to Park a termination fee in the amount of $6,500,000 (the “Termination Fee”) in immediately available federal funds if:

(i) this Agreement is terminated by Vision Bancshares pursuant to Section 8.01(e); or

(ii) (A) this Agreement is terminated by Park pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(ii) as a result of a willful breach by Vision Bancshares or 8.01(f), or by Park or Vision Bancshares pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(ii); and (B) at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to any such termination, an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Vision Bancshares shall have been publicly announced, publicly proposed or commenced; and (C) within 12 months after the date of such termination, Vision Bancshares shall have entered into an agreement relating to such previously announced

Acquisition Proposal or such previously announced Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated. No termination fee shall be paid unless all of the conditions set forth in subclauses (A), (B) and (C), above, have occurred.

(b) The Termination Fee shall be payable (i) on the date of termination of this Agreement in the case of clause (a)(i) above; and (ii) two business days after the first to occur of the execution of the agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal or the consummation of the Acquisition Proposal in the case of clause (a)(ii) above. Upon payment of the Termination Fee and Out-of-Pocket Expenses in accordance with this Section 8.03, Vision Bancshares shall have no further liability to Park at Law or in equity with respect to such termination under Section 8.01(e), 8.01(b) or 8.01(f), or with respect to this Agreement. Vision Bancshares acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Park would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Vision Bancshares fails to pay timely any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.03 and, in order to obtain such payment, Park commences a suit that results in a judgment against Vision Bancshares for the amount payable to Park pursuant to this Section 8.03, Vision Bancshares shall pay to Park its reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount so payable at the applicable federal funds rate.

(c) If an Acquisition Proposal has been made known to Vision Bancshares and made known to the holders of Vision Bancshares Common Stock generally or has been made directly to the holders of Vision Bancshares Common Stock generally or any Person has publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a bona fide Acquisition Proposal and such Acquisition Proposal or announced intention has not been withdrawn, and thereafter this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(c) by Park as a result of knowing action or inaction of Vision Bancshares, and within six months following the termination pursuant to Section 8.01(c), Vision Bancshares enters in an agreement with the Person making any of the above-mentioned Acquisition Proposals, then Vision Bancshares shall promptly (but not later than two business days after signing an agreement with the person making the Acquisition Proposal) pay to Park an amount (not to exceed $250,000 in the aggregate) equal to all documented out-of-pocket expenses and fees incurred by Park (including, without limitation, fees and expenses payable to all legal, accounting, financial, public relations and other professional advisors arising out of or in connection with or related to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (“Out-of-Pocket Expenses”), and Park may pursue any remedies available to it at Law or in equity and will, in addition to its Out-of-Pocket Expenses (which are to be paid as specified above), be entitled to receive such additional amounts as such non-breaching party may be entitled to receive at Law or in equity, but in no event shall such additional amounts plus the Out-of-Pocket Expenses exceed $6,500,000 in total.

ARTICLE IX — Miscellaneous

9.01 Survival. No representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time (other than covenants which by their terms are to survive the Closing or are to be performed after the Effective Time) or the termination of this Agreement if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Time (other than Sections 5.02(l), 5.03(r), 6.03(b), 6.04, 6.05(b), 8.02 and 8.03 and this Article IX which shall survive such termination). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such representations, warranties, agreements or covenants shall be deemed to be terminated or extinguished so as to deprive the Surviving Corporation (or any director, officer or controlling person thereof) of any defense in Law or equity which otherwise would be available against the claims of any Person, including, without limitation, any shareholder or former shareholder of Park or Vision Bancshares.

The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

9.03 Counterparts.

9.08 Interpretation; Effect. When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to a Section of, or Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

9.09 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.10 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability and, unless the effect of such invalidity or unenforceability would prevent the parties from realizing the major portion of the economic benefits of the Merger that they currently anticipate obtaining therefrom, shall not render invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affect the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

9.11 Assignment. Park and Vision Bancshares may not assign this Agreement or any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other Person (whether by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
