Merger Consideration Purchaser will have, at the Effective Time, unissued shares of Common Stock and shares of Common Stock held in its treasury that are not reserved for any other purpose sufficient to provide the Stock Consideration and also will have available to it at the Effective Time funds sufficient to provide the Cash Consideration. ARTICLE 4. COVENANTS 4.1. Shareholders' Meeting Seller and Purchaser shall submit this Reorganization Agreement and the Plan of Merger and, in the case of Purchaser, the issuance of Purchaser Common Stock thereunder and the amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Purchaser Common Stock, to their respective shareholders for approval at special meetings to be held as soon as practicable. Subject to the fiduciary duties of the respective boards of directors of Seller and Purchaser as determined after consultation with counsel, the boards of directors of Seller and Purchaser shall recommend that the shareholders of the respective companies vote in favor of such approval. 4.2. Proxy Statement; Registration Statement As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in the preparation of the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the shareholders of Seller and Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and to be filed by Purchaser as part of the Registration Statement. Purchaser will advise Seller, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order, of the suspension of qualification of the Purchaser Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or 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. Purchaser shall take all actions necessary to register or qualify the shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued in the Merger pursuant to all applicable state "blue sky" or securities laws and shall maintain such registrations or qualifications in effect for all purposes hereof. Purchaser shall apply for, and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, approval to list the shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued in the Merger on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Date. - 25 - 4.3. Applications As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, and after a reasonable opportunity for review by counsel to Seller, Purchaser shall submit any requisite applications for prior approval of, and notices with respect to, the transactions contemplated herein, in the Plan of Merger and in the Bank Merger Agreement, to (i) the Federal Reserve Board pursuant to Sections 3 and 4 of the Bank Holding Company Act and the Bank Merger Act, (ii) the New York Banking Board pursuant to Section 142 of the New York Banking Law, (iii) the OCC pursuant to 12 C.F.R. ss. 5.33(g)(3), and (iv) the Pennsylvania Department of Banking pursuant to Sections 115 and 1603 of the Pennsylvania Banking Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and each of the parties hereto shall, and they shall cause their respective subsidiaries to, submit any applications, notices or other filings to any other state or federal government agency, department or body the approval of which is required for consummation of the Merger and the Bank Merger. Seller and Purchaser each represents and warrants to the other that all information concerning it and its directors, officers, shareholders and subsidiaries included (or submitted for inclusion) in any such application and furnished by it shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects. 4.4. Best Efforts (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser, Merger Sub, and Seller shall each use its reasonable best efforts in good faith, and each of them shall cause its Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts in good faith, to (i) furnish such information as may be required in connection with the preparation of the documents referred to in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 above, and (ii) take or cause to be taken all action necessary or desirable on its part so as to permit consummation of the Merger at the earliest possible date, including, without limitation, (1) obtaining the consent or approval of each individual, partnership, corporation, association or other business or professional entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that neither Seller nor any Seller Subsidiary shall agree to make any payments or modifications to agreements in connection therewith without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (2) requesting the delivery of appropriate opinions, consents and letters from its counsel and independent auditors. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, no party hereto shall take or fail to take, or cause or permit its Subsidiaries to take or fail to take, or to the best of its ability permit to be taken or omitted to be taken by any third persons, any action that would substantially impair the prospects of completing the Merger pursuant to this Reorganization Agreement and the Plan of Merger, that would materially delay such completion, or that would adversely affect the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; provided that nothing herein contained shall preclude Purchaser from exercising its rights under the Option Agreement. In the event that either party has taken any action, whether before, on or after the date hereof, that would adversely affect such qualification, each party shall take such action as the other party may reasonably request to cure such effect to the extent curable without a Material Adverse Effect on either of the parties. (b) Seller shall give prompt notice to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to Seller, of (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure would be reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate at any time from the date hereof to the Closing Date such - 26 - that the condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) or 5.3(a), as applicable, would not be met if such failure to be true or accurate were to occur or be continuing on the Closing Date, and (ii) any material failure of Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder, and each party shall use all reasonable best efforts to remedy such failure. (c) From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Date, to the extent permitted by law, Seller shall, and shall cause the Seller Subsidiaries to, provide such assistance to Purchaser as shall be reasonably necessary to assist Purchaser in converting and transferring as soon as practicable after the Effective Date all information concerning the loans, deposits and other assets and liabilities of Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries into Purchaser's own data processing system, with a view to facilitating the integration of Purchaser's and Seller's systems and otherwise combining Purchaser's and Seller's operations upon consummation of the Merger. After execution of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, Seller shall provide Purchaser with computer file instructions with respect to the information in its data processing system regarding the assets and liabilities of Seller and the Seller Subsidiaries, together with operational procedures designed to implement the transfer of such information to Purchaser, with a view to facilitating the integration of Purchaser's and Seller's systems and otherwise combining Purchaser's and Seller's operations upon consummation of the Merger. After execution of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall each designate an individual to serve as liaison concerning the transfer of data processing information and other similar operational matters and to consult as to whether and when Seller will proceed with its pending data processing conversion. (d) Each party shall provide and shall request its auditors to provide the other party with such historical financial information regarding it (and related audit reports and consents) as the other party may reasonably request for disclosure purposes under the Securities Laws. 4.5. Investigation and Confidentiality Seller and Purchaser each will keep the other advised of all material developments relevant to its business and to consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Plan of Merger. Purchaser and Seller each may make or cause to be made such investigation of the financial and legal condition of the other as such party reasonably deems necessary or advisable in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Plan of Merger, provided, however, that such investigation shall be reasonably related to such transactions and shall not interfere unnecessarily with normal operations. Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish the other and the other's advisors with such financial data and other information with respect to its business and properties as such other party shall from time to time reasonably request. No investigation pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by, or the conditions to the obligations to consummate the Merger of, any party hereto. Each party hereto shall hold all information furnished by the other party or any of such party's Subsidiaries or representatives pursuant to this Agreement in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the confidentiality agreement, dated April 25, 2000, between Seller and Purchaser (the "Confidentiality Agreement"). - 27 - 4.6. Press Releases Seller and Purchaser shall agree with each other as to the form and substance of any press release related to this Reorganization Agreement and the Plan of Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and shall consult each other as to the form and substance of other public disclosures related thereto, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit any party, following notification to the other parties, from making any disclosure which is required by applicable law or NYSE or Nasdaq rules. The initial press release related to this Reorganization Agreement and the Plan of Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will disclose Purchaser's intention to effect the Stock Split and the Dividend Increase. 4.7. Actions Pending the Merger (a) Prior to the Closing Date, and except as otherwise provided for by this Reorganization Agreement, the Plan of Merger, the Option Agreement, or consented to or approved by the other party hereto, each of Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to preserve its properties, business and relationships with customers, employees and other persons. (b) Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of the Seller Subsidiaries to, except with the prior written consent of Purchaser and except as Previously Disclosed or expressly contemplated or permitted by this Agreement, the Plan of Merger, or the Option Agreement: (1) carry on its business other than in the usual, regular and ordinary course in substantially the same manner as heretofore conducted; (2) in the case of Seller only, declare, set aside, make or pay any dividend or other distribution in respect of its capital stock other than its regular quarterly cash dividends on Seller Common Stock in amounts not in excess of $0.29 per share; (3) issue any shares of its capital stock or permit any treasury shares to become outstanding other than pursuant to the Option Agreement or Rights outstanding at the date hereof; (4) incur any additional debt obligation or other obligation for borrowed money other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; (5) issue, grant or authorize any Rights or effect any recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or like change in capitalization, or redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any shares of its capital stock except for Trust Account Shares and DPC Shares, and except for shares to be used to fulfill Seller's obligations under the Seller Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Seller 401(k) Stock Purchase Plan or shares repurchased or acquired in connection with the exercise of options outstanding under the Seller Stock Option Plans; provided, however, that in order to fulfill such obligations, Seller shall acquire the necessary shares of Seller Common Stock solely through open market purchases; (6) amend its articles or certificate of incorporation or association or bylaws; impose, or suffer the imposition, on any share of stock of any Seller Subsidiary held by - 28 - Seller of any lien, charge or encumbrance, or permit any such lien, charge or encumbrance to exist except, in each case, for liens, charges and encumbrances which have been Previously Disclosed; (7) merge with any other corporation, savings association or bank or permit any other corporation, savings association or bank to merge into it or consolidate with any other corporation, savings association or bank; acquire control over any other firm, bank, corporation, savings association or organization or create any Subsidiary; (8) waive or release any material right or cancel or compromise any material debt or claim; (9) liquidate or sell or dispose of any material assets or acquire any material assets; except as Previously Disclosed, make any capital expenditure in excess of $250,000 in any instance or $1,500,000 in the aggregate; or, except as Previously Disclosed, establish new branches or other similar facilities, close existing branches or similar facilities or enter into or modify any leases or other contracts relating thereto; (10) increase the rate of compensation of, pay or agree to pay any bonus to, or provide any other employee benefit or incentive to, any of its directors, officers or employees except in a manner consistent with past practice or as required by law or contractual obligation in effect as of the date hereof; (11) change its lending, investment, asset/liability management or other material banking policies in any material respect except as may be required by changes in applicable law; (12) change its methods of accounting in effect at December 31, 1999, except as required by changes in generally accepted accounting principles concurred in by its independent certified public accountants, or change any of its methods of reporting income, deductions or other items for federal income tax purposes from those employed in the preparation of its federal income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 1999, except as required by applicable law; (13) authorize or permit any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to directly or indirectly solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiries relating to, or the making of any proposal which constitutes, a "Takeover Proposal" (as defined below), or, except to the extent legally required for the discharge of the fiduciary duties of its Board of Directors, recommend or endorse any Takeover Proposal, or participate in any discussions or negotiations, or provide third parties with any nonpublic information, relating to any such inquiry or proposal or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement a Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that Seller may communicate information about any such Takeover Proposal to its stockholders if, in the judgment of Seller's Board of Directors, after consultation with outside counsel, such communication is necessary in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to Seller's shareholders required under applicable law. Seller will take all actions necessary or advisable to inform the appropriate individuals or entities referred to in the first sentence hereof of the obligations undertaken herein. Seller will notify Purchaser immediately if any such inquiries or Takeover Proposals are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such negotiations or - 29 - discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, Seller, and Seller will promptly inform Purchaser in writing of all of the relevant details with respect to the foregoing. As used in this Agreement, "Takeover Proposal" shall mean any tender or exchange offer, proposal for a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving Seller or any Seller Subsidiary or any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner a substantial equity interest in, or a substantial portion of the assets of, Seller or any Seller Subsidiary other than the transactions contemplated or permitted by this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Option Agreement; or (14) agree to do any of the foregoing. (c) Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of the Purchaser Subsidiaries to, except with the prior written consent of Seller or as expressly contemplated or permitted by this Agreement, the Plan of Merger or the Option Agreement, carry on its business other than in the usual, regular and ordinary course in substantially the same manner as heretofore conducted. 4.8. Certain Policies Prior to the Effective Date, Seller shall, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and on a basis mutually satisfactory to it and Purchaser, modify and change its loan, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves) so as to be applied on a basis that is consistent with that of Purchaser; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to take any such action pursuant to this Section 4.8 unless and until (i) Purchaser irrevocably acknowledges to Seller in writing any that all conditions to its obligation to consummate the Merger have been satisfied and (ii) Purchaser irrevocably waives in writing any and all rights that it may have to terminate this Agreement and Plan of Merger. 4.9. Closing; Articles of Merger The transactions contemplated by this Reorganization Agreement and the Plan of Merger shall be consummated at a closing to be held at the offices of the law firm of Arnold & Porter, 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York on the first business day following satisfaction of the conditions to consummation of the Merger set forth in Article 5 hereof (other than such conditions relating to the actions to be taken at the Closing) or such later date during such month in which such business day shall occur (or, if such business day shall occur within ten (10) business days prior to the end of such month, during the next following month) as may be mutually specified by Purchaser and Seller. In connection with such Closing, Merger Sub and Seller shall execute a certificate of merger and shall cause such certificate to be delivered to (i) the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with Section 251(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and (ii) the Pennsylvania Secretary of State in accordance with Section 1927 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law. The Merger shall be effective at the time and on the date specified in such certificate of merger. 4.10. Affiliates Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate and use their best efforts to identify those persons who may be deemed to be "affiliates" of Seller within the meaning of Rule 145 promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act. Seller shall use its best efforts to cause each person so - 30 - identified to deliver to Purchaser, no later than 30 days prior to the Effective Date, a written Affiliate Agreement in a form to be agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller. 4.11. Seller Employees; Directors and Management; Indemnification (a) On and after the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as may be practicable), all persons who are employed by Seller and/or any of the Seller Subsidiaries on such date ("Seller Employees") shall be employed on terms and conditions (including benefits) that in the aggregate are no less favorable (as determined by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion after consultation with Seller) with respect to their employment by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries after the Effective Date than those generally afforded to other similarly situated employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries, subject to the terms and conditions under which those employee benefits are made available to such employees and provided that (i) for purposes of (A) determining eligibility for and vesting of such employee benefits (and not for pension benefit accrual purposes), (B) determining levels of short-term disability benefits, vacation benefits and severance benefits under any severance pay arrangement (to the extent any such arrangement applies to employees generally and gives credit for length of service with Purchaser or a Purchaser Subsidiary), and (C) if applicable, satisfying any waiting periods concerning "preexisting conditions," service with Seller or a Seller Subsidiary or any predecessor thereto prior to the Effective Date shall be treated as service with an "employer" to the same extent as if such persons had been employees of Purchaser, and (ii) copayments and expenses paid by the Seller Employees prior to the Effective Date under the Seller Plans that provide medical benefits shall be treated as if paid under Purchaser's employee benefit plans that provide medical benefits for purposes of determining satisfaction of copayment and deductible requirements under such Purchaser plans, and provided, further, that this Section 4.11(a) shall not be construed (A) to limit the ability of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any employee at any time for any reason or to review employee benefits programs from time to time and to make such changes as they deem appropriate or (B) to require Purchaser or its Subsidiaries to provide employees or former employees of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries with post-retirement medical benefits more favorable than those provided to new hires at Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to honor, or to cause the appropriate Purchaser Subsidiary to honor, in accordance with their terms all employment, severance and employee benefit plans, contracts, agreements and arrangements, and understandings Previously Disclosed, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Purchaser from amending or terminating any such plan, contract, or agreement in accordance with its terms and applicable law. The continued coverage of the Seller Employees under the employee benefit plans maintained by Seller and/or any Seller Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Date (the "Seller Plans") during a transition period of no more than 6 months shall be deemed to provide the Seller Employees with benefits that are no less favorable than those offered to other employees of Purchaser and any Purchaser Subsidiary; provided, that after the Effective Date there is no material reduction in the benefits provided under the Seller Plans. No provision of this Section 4.11(a) shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee or former employee of Seller (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) or any other matter. (b) Prior to the Effective Date, Seller shall take all actions that may be requested by Purchaser in writing upon advance notice of not less than 45 days with respect to (i) causing - 31 - one or more Seller Plans to terminate as of the Effective Date or for benefit accrual and entitlements to cease as of the Effective Date, (ii) causing the continuation on and after the Effective Date of any contract, arrangement or insurance policy relating to any Seller Plan for such period as may be requested by Purchaser, or (iii) cooperating with Purchaser to facilitate the merger of any Seller Plan into any Purchaser Plan on or following the Effective Date. Except for a purchase period commencing on July 1, 2000, Seller shall not authorize the commencement of any new purchase period under any Seller Stock Purchase Plan between the date hereof and the termination of this Reorganization Agreement and shall not extend any purchase period that is in effect on the date hereof beyond its originally scheduled date of termination. Any purchase period that would otherwise continue past the Effective Date shall be terminated effective immediately prior to the Effective Date. (c) Purchaser and Purchaser's Board of Directors shall, prior to the Effective Date, take all requisite action to, as of the Effective Date, (i) elect as directors of Purchaser Messrs. Carl L. Campbell and four other individuals designated by Mr. Campbell who are reasonably acceptable to Purchaser (Mr. Campbell and such four other individuals collectively, the "Seller Designees") and to elect Mr. Campbell as Vice Chairman of Purchaser and (ii) cause Purchaser Bank's Board of Directors to take all requisite action to elect the Seller Designees as directors of Purchaser Bank and to elect Mr. Campbell as Vice Chairman of Purchaser Bank. For a period of at least one year following the Effective Date, Mr. Campbell shall additionally serve as Chairman of Purchaser's Pennsylvania Division. (d) In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including, without limitation, any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Date, a director or officer of Seller (the "Indemnified Parties") is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of Seller, or any Seller Subsidiary or any of their respective predecessors or (ii) this Agreement, the Plan of Merger, the Option Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after the Effective Date, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to defend against and respond thereto. On and after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent permitted by law, each such Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by law upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable law), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, and in the event of any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether asserted or arising before or after the Effective Date), the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to them after consultation with Purchaser; provided, however, that (1) Purchaser shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and upon such assumption Purchaser shall not be liable to any Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Purchaser elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties reasonably advises the Indemnified Parties that there are - 32 - issues which raise conflicts of interest between Purchaser and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to them after notification, and Purchaser shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties, (2) Purchaser shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties, (3) Purchaser shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (4) Purchaser shall have no 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 nonappealable, that indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable law. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim Indemnification under this Section 4.11(d), upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify Purchaser shall not relieve it of its obligations hereunder except (and only) to the extent that such failure materially prejudices Purchaser. (e) Purchaser agrees that all rights to indemnification and all limitations on liability existing in favor of the directors, officers and employees of Seller and any Seller Subsidiary (the "Covered Parties") as provided in their respective Certificates of Incorporation, Bylaws or similar governing documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Date shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect, and shall be honored by such entities or their respective successors as if they were the indemnifying party thereunder, without any amendment thereto, for a period of six years from the Effective Date; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim asserted or made within such period ("Claim") shall continue until the final disposition of such Claim; provided, further, however, that nothing contained in this Section 4.11(e) shall be deemed to preclude the liquidation, consolidation or merger of Seller or any Seller Subsidiary, in which case all of such rights to indemnification and limitations on liability shall be deemed to so survive and continue as an obligation of Purchaser or the successor to Seller or the Seller Subsidiary notwithstanding any such liquidation, consolidation or merger. (f) Purchaser, from and after the Effective Date will use its reasonable best efforts directly or indirectly to cause the persons who served as directors or officers of Seller on or before the Effective Date to be covered by Seller's existing directors' and officers' liability insurance policy (provided that Purchaser may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous than such policy) but in no event shall any insured person be entitled under this Section 4.11(f) to insurance coverage more favorable than that provided to him or her in such capacities as of the date hereof with respect to acts or omissions resulting from their service as such on or prior to the Effective Date. Such insurance coverage, if reasonably available at a reasonable cost relative to the coverage obtained, shall commence on the Effective Date and will be provided for a period of no less than four years after the Effective Date; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be required to expend more than 200% of the current amount expended by Seller (the "Insurance Amount") to maintain or procure insurance coverage pursuant hereto and, provided, further, that the Insurance Amount shall be deemed reasonable for purposes of this Section 4.11(f). Seller agrees to renew any such existing insurance or to purchase any "discovery period" insurance provided for thereunder at Purchaser's request. - 33 - (g) In the event Purchaser or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser assume the obligations set forth in this section. (h) The provisions of Section 4.11(d), (e), (f) and (g) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and their respective heirs and representatives. (i) The parties agree to take the further actions Previously Disclosed by Seller. 4.12. Seller Subsidiaries Seller undertakes and agrees that, if so requested by Purchaser, it shall take all necessary action to facilitate the merger of Seller Subsidiaries with Subsidiaries of Purchaser or the dissolution of such Seller Subsidiaries effective at or after the Effective Date; provided however, that in no event shall the Closing be delayed in order to facilitate any such merger or dissolution and provided, further, however, that Seller shall not be required to take any action that could adversely affect the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. 4.13. Stock Split Management of Purchaser shall recommend to Purchaser's Board of Directors that it approve, and shall use best efforts to effect, a 10-for-1 split in the number of outstanding shares of Purchaser Common Stock in the form of a stock dividend or stock split (the "Stock Split"), such approval to be contingent upon the consummation of the Merger and to become effective prior to the Merger on the Effective Date. 4.14. Dividends After the date of this Agreement, each of Purchaser and Seller shall coordinate with the other the declaration of any dividends in respect of Purchaser Common Stock and Seller Common Stock and the record dates and payment dates relating thereto, it being the intention of the parties hereto that holders of Purchaser Common Stock or Seller Common Stock shall not receive two dividends, or fail to receive one dividend, for any single calendar quarter with respect to their shares of Purchaser Common Stock and/or Seller Common Stock and any shares of Purchaser Common Stock any such holder receives in exchange therefor in the Merger. In connection with the first quarterly dividend paid in respect of Purchaser Common Stock after the Effective Date, the Management of Purchaser shall recommend to the Purchaser Board that it approves and shall use best efforts to effect an increase in the amount of Purchaser's regular quarterly cash dividend to not less than $0.25 per share of Purchaser Common Stock (the "Dividend Increase") after giving effect to the Stock Split. In connection with approving this Reorganization Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser's Board of Directors has considered the Dividend Increase and has agreed that, in the event that the - 34 - transactions contemplated hereby and by the Plan of Merger are consummated and, subject to the coordination of dividends provisions of the first sentence of this Section 4.14 and to applicable law, the Dividend Increase will be implemented no later than the first regular quarterly dividend declared after the Effective Date. 4.15. Advisory Boards Promptly following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall cause those regional boards of directors of Seller for Seller's Regions One through Five to become regional Advisory Boards of Purchaser Bank and shall cause the members of such boards of directors as of the Effective Date, other than such members as become directors of Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.11(d) hereof, to be appointed or elected for a period of not less than twenty-four months after the Effective Date as members such Advisory Boards, the function of which is to advise Purchaser Bank on deposit and lending activities in Seller Bank's former market area. In addition, Purchaser shall cause any person who is a member of Seller's or Seller's Bank's Board of Directors on the Effective Date and is neither a member of a regional board of directors of Seller nor an individual who becomes a director of Purchaser pursuant to Section 4.11(d) hereof, to be appointed or elected to one of the regional Advisory Boards of Purchaser Bank as mutually agreed prior to the Effective Date by Purchaser and Seller. Each such advisory director shall be paid for such service the greater of (i) the fees for such service according to a fee schedule to be established by Purchaser or (ii) directors' fees Previously Disclosed by Seller in connection with this Section 4.15; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything else in this Section 4.15, if a member has failed to attend at least 25% of the meetings called within a year, such member will be paid pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence; and no attendance fees shall be paid for meetings not actually attended; and Purchaser Bank shall have no obligation to continue the services of any advisory director who acts in a manner detrimental to Purchaser Bank. In the event that Purchaser terminates, suspends or disbands one or more of the Advisory Boards, fails to require or request the attendance of a member with respect to at least 10 meetings of any Advisory Board and/or committee thereof within a single year or removes a member of an Advisory Board other than because such member acted in a manner detrimental to Purchaser Bank, in each case prior to the end of the 24-month period contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 4.15 and subject to the proviso of the preceding sentence, any member affected by any such action or failure shall nonetheless be paid the full fees (assuming at least 10 meetings annually had been held) pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence or the amount contemplated by clause (ii) thereof, which ever is greater, with respect to such 24-month period. 4.16. Section 16 Seller shall, reasonably promptly following the date hereof, provide to Purchaser a list of (a) the directors and officers (as such terms are used under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder) of Seller, (b) the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock and options thereon expected to be received pursuant to the Merger, as appropriate, by each such officer or director on the Effective Date on account of shares of Seller Common Stock, and options thereon, reasonably expected to be held by such directors and officers immediately prior to the Effective Date and (c) a description of the material terms of such options.

Amendment or Supplement This Reorganization Agreement and the Plan of Merger may be amended or supplemented at any time only by mutual agreement of the parties hereto or thereto.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER ("Plan of Merger") dated as of May 16, 2000 by and between Keystone Financial, Inc. ("Seller"), a Pennsylvania corporation having its principal executive office at One Keystone Plaza, Front and Market Streets, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17105, and Olympia Financial Corp. ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware corporation having its principal executive office at 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware, and joined in by M&T Bank Corporation ("Purchaser"), a New York corporation having its principal executive office at One M&T Plaza, Buffalo, New York 14614. WITNESSETH WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Seller, Merger Sub and Purchaser deem the merger of Seller with and into Merger Sub, under and pursuant to the terms and conditions herein set forth or referred to, desirable and in the best interests of the respective corporations and their respective shareholders, and the respective Boards of Directors of Seller, Merger Sub and Purchaser have adopted resolutions approving this Plan of Merger and an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated of even date herewith ("Reorganization Agreement"); and WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire that Seller shall be acquired by Purchaser through the merger of Seller with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub as the surviving corporation, subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan of Merger and the Reorganization Agreement; and WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend that the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("the Code"). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE 1. MERGER Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan of Merger, at the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined), Seller shall be merged with and into Merger Sub, pursuant to the provisions of, and with the effect provided in the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law and the Delaware General Corporation Law (said transaction being hereinafter referred to as the "Merger"). At the Effective Time, the separate existence of Seller shall cease and Merger Sub, as the surviving entity, shall continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Merger. (Merger Sub as existing at and after the Effective Time being hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Surviving Corporation"). ARTICLE 2. CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS Subject to Section 4.11(e) of the Reorganization Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until amended in accordance with applicable law. ARTICLE 3. BOARD OF DIRECTORS The directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. ARTICLE 4. CAPITAL At the Effective Time, all of the shares of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and unchanged by virtue of the Merger and shall constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. ARTICLE 5. CONVERSION AND EXCHANGE OF SELLER SHARES; FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS 1. At the Effective Time, each share of the common stock of Seller, par value $2.00 per share ("Seller Common Stock"), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as provided in Section 2 of this Article 5, and subject to Sections 5 and 7 of this Article 5), shall, by virtue of the Merger, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, become and be converted into, at the election of the holder as provided in and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 5, either (i) the right to receive $21.50 in cash without interest (the "Cash Consideration") or (ii) 0.05 of a share (before giving effect to the Stock Split as defined in the Reorganization Agreement) (the "Exchange Ratio") of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of Purchaser ("Purchaser Common Stock") (the "Stock Consideration"). The Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the "Merger Consideration." 2. (a) At the Effective Time, all shares of Seller Common Stock held in the treasury of Seller or owned beneficially by any Subsidiary of Seller other than in a fiduciary capacity ("Trust Account Shares") or in connection with a debt previously contracted ("DPC Shares") and all shares of Seller Common Stock owned by Purchaser or owned beneficially by any subsidiary of - 2 - Purchaser other than Trust Account Shares and DPC Shares shall be canceled and no cash, stock or other property shall be delivered in exchange therefor. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Plan of Merger, no shares of Seller Common Stock that are issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and that are held by a stockholder who has properly exercised his appraisal rights (any such shares being referred to herein as "Dissenting Shares") under applicable law shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1 of this Article 5 unless and until the holder shall have failed to perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, his right to dissent from the Merger under applicable law and to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to and subject to the requirements of applicable law. If any such holder shall have so failed to perfect or effectively withdrawn or lost such right prior to the Election Deadline (as defined herein), each of such holder's shares of Seller Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed to be Non-Election Shares (as defined herein) for all purposes under this Article 5. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall have so failed to perfect or effectively withdrawn or lost such holder's right to dissent from the Merger after the Election Deadline, each of such holder's shares of Seller Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Stock Consideration or the Cash Consideration or a combination thereof as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion. 3. (a) An election form (an "Election Form") and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing Seller Common Stock ("Certificates") shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to a bank or trust company designated by Purchaser and reasonably satisfactory to Seller (the "Exchange Agent") in such form as Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree shall be mailed on the Mailing Date (as defined below) to each holder of record of shares of Seller Common Stock (other than holders of Dissenting Shares or shares of Seller Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 2(a) of this Article 5) as of a record date which shall be the same date as the record date for eligibility to vote on the Merger. The "Mailing Date" shall be the date on which proxy materials relating to the Merger are mailed to holders of shares of Seller Common Stock. (b) Each Election Form shall entitle the holder of shares of Seller Common Stock (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to (i) elect to receive the Cash Consideration for all of such holder's shares (a "Cash Election"), (ii) elect to receive the Stock Consideration for all of such holder's shares (a "Stock Election"), (iii) elect to receive the Cash Consideration with respect to some of such holder's shares and the Stock Consideration with respect to such holder's remaining shares (a "Mixed Election"), or (iv) make no election or to indicate that such holder has no preference as to the receipt of the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration (a "Non-Election"). Holders of record of shares of Seller Common Stock who hold such shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities (a "Representative") may submit multiple Election Forms; provided, that such Representative certifies that each such Election Form covers all the shares of Seller Common Stock held by that Representative for a particular beneficial owner. Shares of Seller Common Stock as to which a Cash Election has been made are referred to herein as "Cash Election Shares." Shares of Seller Common Stock as to which a Stock Election has been made are referred to herein as "Stock Election Shares." Shares of Seller Common Stock as to which no election or a Non-Election has been made are - 3 - referred to as "Non-Election Shares." The aggregate number of shares of Seller Common Stock with respect to which a Stock Election has been made is referred to herein as the "Stock Election Number." (c) To be effective, a properly completed Election Form shall be submitted to the Exchange Agent on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the 20th calendar day following the Mailing Date (or such other time and date as Seller and Purchaser may mutually agree) (the "Election Deadline"). An election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and, if required by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8 of this Article 5, indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such Certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such Certificates) representing all shares of Seller Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included with the Election Form. Any Seller stockholder may at any time prior to the Election Deadline change his or her election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed revised Election Form. Any Seller stockholder may, at any time prior to the Election Deadline, revoke his or her election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline or by withdrawal prior to the Election Deadline of his or her Certificates, or of the guarantee of delivery of such Certificates, previously deposited with the Exchange Agent. All elections shall be revoked automatically if the Exchange Agent is notified in writing by Purchaser and Seller that this Plan of Merger has been terminated. If a stockholder either (i) does not submit a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline, or (ii) revokes its Election Form and does not thereafter duly deliver a properly completed Election Form to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of Seller Common Stock held by such stockholder shall be designated "Non-Election Shares." Purchaser shall cause the Certificates representing Seller Common Stock described in (ii) to be promptly returned without charge to the person submitting the Election Form upon written request to that effect from the person who submitted the Election Form. Subject to the terms of this Plan of Merger and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in any Election Form, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Plan of Merger, 65% of the total number of shares of Seller Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof, less the aggregate number of shares of Seller Common Stock acquired by Purchaser pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement or Seller prior to the Effective Time (the "Stock Conversion Number") shall be converted into the Stock Consideration and the remaining outstanding shares of Seller Common Stock shall be converted into the Cash Consideration (in each case, excluding (x) shares of Seller Common Stock to be cancelled as provided in Section 2(a) of this Article 5 and (y) Dissenting Shares (the shares remaining outstanding after such exclusion constituting, for purposes of this Agreement the "Outstanding Seller Shares"); provided, however, that for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in order that the Merger will not fail to satisfy continuity of interest requirements under - 4 - applicable federal income tax principles relating to reorganizations under Section 368(a) of the Code, as reasonably determined by Arnold & Porter and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, Purchaser shall increase the number of outstanding Seller shares that will be converted into the Stock Consideration and reduce the number of outstanding Seller shares that will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration. (e) Within five (5) business days after the later to occur of the Election Deadline or the Effective Time, Purchaser shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among holders of Seller Common Stock of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration as follows: (i) If the Stock Election Number exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, then all Cash Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and, subject to Section 7 of this Article 5, each holder of Stock Election Shares will be entitled to receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stock Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number, with the remaining number of such holder's Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; (ii) If the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Conversion Number (the amount by which the Stock Conversion Number exceeds the Stock Election Number being referred to herein as the "Shortfall Number"), then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and the Non-Election Shares and Cash Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner: (A) if the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and, subject to Section 7 of Article 5, each holder of Non-Election Shares shall receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder's Non-Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; or (B) if the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and, subject to Section 7 of this Article 5, each holder of Cash Election Shares shall receive the Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election - 5 - Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which (1) the Shortfall Number exceeds (2) the total number of Non-Election Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of Cash Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder's Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration. For purposes of this Section 3(e), if Purchaser is obligated to increase the number of Outstanding Seller Shares to be converted into shares of Purchaser Common Stock as a result of the application of the last clause of Section 3(d) above, then the higher number shall be substituted for the Stock Conversion Number in the calculations set forth in this Section 3(e). (f) All of the shares of Seller Common Stock converted into and exchangeable for the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article 5 shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist as of the Effective Time. Each Certificate previously representing any such shares of Seller Common Stock shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article 5, as allocated among the holders of Seller Common Stock in accordance with this Section 3. (g) At the Effective Time, Purchaser shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for exchange in accordance with this Section 3, certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock into which the outstanding shares of Seller Common Stock shall be converted pursuant to this Article 5, and cash in the amount of the aggregate Cash Consideration and the aggregate amount of cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to all holders of record of Seller Common Stock who did not previously submit completed Election Forms letters of transmittal specifying the procedures for the delivery of such holders' certificates to the Exchange Agent and describing the Merger Consideration such holders will receive therefor. Also as soon as practicable after the Effective Time (with allowance for the mailing of the letters of transmittal described in the preceding sentence), the Exchange Agent shall distribute to holders of shares of Seller Common Stock, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent (to the extent not previously surrendered with an Election Form) of one or more Certificates for cancellation, (i) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock, if any, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Plan of Merger, and (ii) a check for an amount equal to the cash, if any, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Plan of Merger (including any cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 7 hereof and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the provisions set forth below). In no event shall the holder of any such surrendered Certificates be entitled to receive interest on any of the Cash Consideration or cash in lieu of fractional share interests to be received in the Merger. If a check is to be issued in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the Certificates surrendered for exchange therefor are registered, it shall be a condition of the exchange that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer taxes required by reason of issuance of such check to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. No dividends or other distributions declared after the Effective Time with respect to Purchaser Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered - 6 - Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article 5. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Article 5, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of Purchaser Common Stock, if any, represented by such Certificate. Certificates surrendered for exchange by any person who is an "affiliate" of Seller for purposes of Rule 145(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall not be exchanged for certificates representing shares of Purchaser Common Stock until Purchaser has received the written agreement of such person contemplated by Section 4.10 of the Reorganization Agreement. If any certificate for shares of Purchaser Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which a Certificate surrendered for exchange is issued, the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such exchange shall affix any requisite stock transfer tax stamps to the Certificate surrendered or provide funds for their purchase or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser or its agent that such taxes have been paid or are not payable. 4. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Seller shall be closed and no transfer of Seller Common Stock shall thereafter be made or recognized. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article 5. Any other provision of this Plan of Merger notwithstanding, neither Purchaser or its agent nor any party to the Merger shall be liable to a holder of Seller Common Stock for any amount paid or properly delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. 5. In the event that prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities by reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or other like changes in Purchaser's capitalization including, without limitation, the Stock Split, then an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Stock Consideration (including the Exchange Ratio) and the formulas contained in Section 6 of this Article 5. 6. At the Effective Time, each option to acquire Seller Common Stock (each a "Seller Option") granted under 1997 Stock Incentive Plan; the 1992 Stock Incentive Plan; the 1988 Stock Incentive Plan; the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan; the 1995 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan; the 1990 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan; the Financial Trust Corp. Stock Option Plan of 1992; the Financial Trust Corp. Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan of 1994; the Amended and Restated Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement with Donald E. Stone (WM Bancorp, Inc. options); the Elmwood Bancorp, Inc. Key Employee Stock Compensation Program; and the Mainline Bancshares, Inc. Stock Option Agreement (collectively, the "Seller Stock Option Plans") which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed by Purchaser. Each Seller Option so assumed by Purchaser shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Seller Stock Option Plan (and any agreement) under which it was granted and as in existence immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such Seller Option shall be exercisable (when vested) for that number of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Seller Common Stock covered by the Seller Option multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, provided - 7 - that any fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest share; and (ii) the exercise price per share of Purchaser Common Stock shall be equal to the exercise price per share of Seller Common Stock of such Seller Option divided by the Exchange Ratio, provided that such exercise price shall be rounded up to the nearest cent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment provided herein will comply with the adjustment provisions in the Seller Stock Option Plans and with respect to any Seller Options that are "incentive stock options" (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code. At the Effective Time, each outstanding equity-based right or award under the Seller Stock Option Plans or other equity-based plans (the "Equity-Based Rights") shall be assumed by Purchaser and be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Seller Stock Option Plan or equity-based plan and the applicable award agreement under which it was granted. Each Equity-Based Right so assumed shall be converted into a right to received the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock or a payment with a value equal to, as applicable, the product of (i) the number of shares of Seller Common Stock subject to such Equity-Based Right and (ii) the Exchange Ratio. 7. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each holder of shares of Seller Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive pursuant to this Article 5 a fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash in an amount equal to such fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock multiplied by the market value (as defined below) of Purchaser Common Stock. The "market value" of Purchaser Common Stock shall be the closing price of the Purchaser Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange -- Composite Transactions List (as reported by The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, another comparable authoritative source) for the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Effective Time occurs. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other shareholder right in respect of such fractional share. 8. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Purchaser, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Purchaser may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of Purchaser Common Stock constituting the Stock Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares and/or the cash constituting the Cash Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Plan of Merger. ARTICLE 6. EFFECTIVE TIME OF THE MERGER A certificate or articles of merger evidencing the transactions contemplated herein shall be delivered to the Pennsylvania Department of State and the Delaware Secretary of State for filing as provided in the Reorganization Agreement.
