Dear Mr. White:
This letter shall serve to memorialize the agreement reached during our November 15, 2010 telephone conversation. As of November 22, 2010, Seidman and Associates, LLC (SAL) owns 194,985 shares (1,000 shares as a record owner) of Abington Bancorp, Inc. (ABBC).
You, as President and Chief Executive Officer of ABBC, have agreed to provide SAL with the shareholder lists (including the NOBO/CEDE/Philadep lists) presently in your possession. In addition, you agreed that any subsequent shareholder lists (as herein defined) requested by ABBC from this date forward until ABBC’s next annual shareholder meeting as required by 15 Pa.C.S.A § 1508 will be sent to SAL. You have also specifically agreed to provide SAL with the shareholder lists (as herein defined) for the ABBC Annual Meeting record date simultaneously with your receipt of same. (This item was not specifically discussed during our telephone conversation.)
It is understood that your agreement is conditioned upon SAL’s compliance with all the relevant Pennsylvania statutes.
Please be advised that SAL intends to use the shareholder lists to communicate with fellow ABBC shareholders about SAL’s present intention to nominate two (2) candidates for election to the ABBC Board of Directors in opposition to the candidates to be nominated by ABBC at the next annual meeting.
It is SAL’s opinion that its proposed use of the shareholder lists is proper and constitutes a valid corporate purpose. If you, or ABBC’s counsel, disagree and determine that SAL has not complied with the relevant Pennsylvania statutes, or is otherwise not entitled to the lists, please notify the undersigned, in writing. (Such writing should set forth appropriate support for the refusal to provide the lists.)
Please promptly provide me with a written acknowledgement that this letter accurately sets forth the agreement we reached in the above mentioned telephone conversation.
Your prompt written response acknowledging your agreement to the above is requested.
Very truly yours,
SEIDMAN AND ASSOCIATES, LLC
