AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated
as of November 8, 2007 (this “Agreement”), between
F.N.B. CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (“FNB “) and
OMEGA FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Pennsylvania corporation
(“Omega”).
W I T
N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of
Omega and FNB have determined that it is in the best interests of
their respective companies and their shareholders to consummate the
strategic business combination transaction provided for in this
Agreement in which Omega will, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, merge with and into FNB
(the “ Merger “), so that FNB is the surviving company
in the Merger (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the
“Surviving Company”); and
WHEREAS, for federal income Tax (as
defined in Section 3.10(b)) purposes, it is intended that the
Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of
Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”);
WHEREAS, the members of the Omega
Board of Directors have executed a voting agreement of even date
herewith in the form of Exhibit C (the “Voting
Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to make
certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection
with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the
Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements
contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties
agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE
MERGER
1.1 The Merger .
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with
the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the “PBCL”)
and the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”),
at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2), Omega shall
merge with and into FNB. FNB shall be the Surviving Company in the
Merger, and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws
of the State of Florida. As of the Effective Time, the separate
corporate existence of Omega shall cease.
-1-
(b) FNB
may at any time change the method of effecting the combination and
Omega shall cooperate in such efforts, including by entering into
an appropriate amendment to this Agreement (to the extent such
amendment only changes the method of effecting the business
combination and does not substantively affect this Agreement or the

multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest share, and
(iv) the exercise price per share of FNB Common Stock under

any of its Subsidiaries shall become vested in full. At the

appropriate form or a post-effective amendment to a previously
filed registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”) with respect to the
issuance of the shares of FNB Common Stock subject to the Assumed
Stock Options and shall use its best efforts to maintain the

deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders

Article II, (i) certificates representing the aggregate number
of shares of FNB Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement
in exchange for shares of Omega Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger,
(ii) immediately available funds equal to any dividends or
distributions payable in accordance with Section 2.2(b) and
(iii) cash in lieu of any fractional shares (such cash and

pursuant to Section 1.4 and paid pursuant to Section 1.4
in exchange for outstanding shares of Omega Common Stock.
2.2 Exchange of Shares .
(a) As
soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Registrar and
Transfer Company (the “Exchange Agent”) shall mail to
each holder of record of Omega Common Stock a letter of transmittal
in customary form as prepared by FNB and reasonably acceptable to
Omega which shall specify, among other things, that delivery shall
be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall
pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent
and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the
Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration and any cash
in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of Omega Common
Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have
been converted pursuant to this Agreement and any dividends or
distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to
Section 2.2(b). After the Effective Time of the Merger, each
holder of a Certificate formerly representing Omega Common Stock,
other than Treasury Shares, who surrenders or has surrendered such
Certificate or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding
the loss or destruction of such Certificate, together with duly
executed transmittal materials to the Exchange Agent, shall, upon
acceptance thereof, be entitled to a certificate representing FNB
Common Stock into which the shares of Omega Common Stock shall have
been converted pursuant to Section 1.4, as well as any cash in
lieu
-6-
of any
fractional share of FNB Common Stock to which such holder would
otherwise be entitled and any dividends or distributions to which
such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b). The
Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificate upon compliance with
such reasonable and customary terms and conditions as the Exchange
Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in
accordance with normal practices. Until surrendered as contemplated
by this Section 2.2, each Certificate representing Omega
Common Stock shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time of
the Merger to evidence only the right to receive the Merger
Consideration any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the
shares of Omega Common Stock represented by such Certificate or
Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement
and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled
pursuant to Section 2.2(b). FNB shall not be obligated to
deliver the Merger Consideration or any check representing cash in
lieu of fractional shares and/or declared but unpaid dividends to
which any former holder of Omega Common Stock is entitled as a
result of the Merger until such holder surrenders his Certificate
or Certificates for exchange as provided in this Section 2.2.
If any certificate for shares of FNB Common Stock, or any check
representing cash in lieu of fractional shares and/or declared but
unpaid dividends, 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 satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such taxes
are not payable.
(b) Following
surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the
record holder of the Certificates representing whole shares of FNB
Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest,
(i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any dividends
or distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Date
which have been declared by Omega in respect of shares of Omega
Common Stock after the date of this Agreement in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and which remain unpaid at the
Effective Time, (ii) at the time of such surrender, the amount
of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of FNB Common
Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.4
and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record
date after the Effective Time of the Merger and which theretofore
had become payable with respect to such whole shares of FNB Common
Stock, and (iii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount
of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the
Effective Time of the Merger but prior to surrender and a payment
date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole
shares of FNB Common Stock. After the date of this Agreement, Omega
shall coordinate with FNB the declaration of any dividends in
respect of Omega Common Stock as provided in
Section 6.11.
(c) After
the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock
transfer books of Omega of the shares of Omega Common Stock that
were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
other than to settle transfers of Omega Common
-7-
Stock
that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective
Time, Certificates are presented to FNB for any reason, they shall
be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement. All shares
of FNB Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares and/or
declared but unpaid dividends issued upon the surrender for
exchange of shares of Omega Common Stock or the provision of
customary affidavits and indemnification for lost or mutilated
Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof and the letter of
transmittal, shall be deemed to have been issued in full
satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Omega
Common Stock.
(d) Any
portion of the Exchange Fund, including any interest thereon, that
remains undistributed to the shareholders of Omega following the
passage of 12 months after the Effective Time of the Merger
shall be delivered to FNB, upon demand, and any shareholders of
Omega who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.3
shall thereafter look only to FNB for payment of their claim for
FNB Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of FNB
Common Stock and any unpaid dividends or distributions payable in
accordance with Section 2.2(b).
(e) Neither
Omega nor FNB shall be liable to any holder of shares of Omega
Common Stock or FNB Common Stock, as the case may be, for such
shares, or dividends or distributions with respect thereto, or cash
from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to
any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
(f) The
Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights
of ownership with respect to the shares of FNB Common Stock held by
it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and
hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with
respect to such shares of FNB Common Stock for the account of the
Persons entitled thereto.
(g) Certificates
surrendered for exchange by any Person constituting an Affiliate of
Omega for purposes of Rule 144(a) and Rule 145 (an
“Affiliate”) under the Securities Act shall not be
exchanged for certificates representing whole shares of FNB Common
Stock until FNB has received a written agreement from such person
as provided in Section 6.5.
2.3 Adjustments for Dilution and
Other Matters . If prior to the Effective Time of the Merger,
(a) FNB shall declare a stock dividend or distribution on FNB
Common Stock with a record date prior to the Effective Time of the
Merger, or subdivide, split up, reclassify or combine FNB Common
Stock, or make a distribution other than a regular quarterly cash
dividend not in excess of $.30 per share, on FNB Common Stock in
any security convertible into FNB Common Stock, in each case with a
record date prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, or
(b) the outstanding shares of FNB Common Stock shall have been
increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares or securities, in each case as a result of
a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
dividend,
-8-
stock
split, reverse stock split or other similar change in FNB’s
capitalization other than a business combination transaction with
another bank holding company or financial services company, then a
proportionate adjustment or adjustments will be made to the
Exchange Ratio, which adjustment may include, as appropriate, the
issuance of securities, property or cash on the same basis as that
on which any of the foregoing shall have been issued, distributed
or paid to holders of FNB Common Stock generally.
2.4 Withholding Rights . The
Exchange Agent or, subsequent to the first anniversary of the
Effective Time, FNB, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from
any cash portion of the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of
fractional shares of FNB Common Stock, cash dividends or
distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and any other
cash amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any
holder of Omega Common Stock such amounts as the Exchange Agent or
FNB, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under
the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, with
respect to the making of such payment. To the extent the amounts
are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or FNB, as the case may be,
such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Omega
Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was
made by the Exchange Agent or FNB, as the case may be.

is no pending, or, to Omega’s knowledge, threatened,
litigation, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or arbitration
by any individual, partnership, corporation, trust, joint venture,
organization or other entity (each, a “Person”) or
Governmental Entity that is material to Omega and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, in each case with respect to Omega or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or permits,
licenses or authorizations.
(b) There
is no material Injunction, judgment, or regulatory restriction
(other than those of general application that apply to similarly

imposed upon Omega, any of its Subsidiaries or the assets of Omega
or any of its Subsidiaries.
3.10 Taxes and Tax Returns
.
(a) Each
of Omega and its Subsidiaries has duly and timely filed (including
all applicable extensions) all Tax Returns (as defined in
subsection (c), below) required to be filed by it on or prior to
the date of this Agreement (all such Tax Returns being accurate and
complete in all material respects), has timely paid or withheld and
timely remitted all Taxes shown thereon as arising and has duly and
timely paid or withheld and timely remitted all Taxes (whether or
not shown on any Tax Return) that are due and payable or claimed to
be due from it by a Governmental Entity other than Taxes that
(i) are being contested in good faith, which have not been
finally determined, and (ii) have been adequately reserved
against in accordance with GAAP on Omega’s most recent
consolidated financial statements. All required estimated Tax
payments sufficient to avoid any underpayment penalties or interest
have been made by or on behalf of each of Omega and its
Subsidiaries. Neither Omega nor any of its Subsidiaries has granted
any extension or waiver of the limitation period for the assessment
or collection of Tax that remains in effect. There are no disputes,
audits, examinations or proceedings in progress or pending
(including any notice received of an intent to conduct an audit or
examination), or claims asserted, for Taxes upon Omega or any of
its Subsidiaries. No claim has been made by a Governmental Entity
in a jurisdiction where Omega or any of its Subsidiaries has not
filed Tax Returns such that Omega or any of its Subsidiaries is or
may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. All deficiencies
asserted or assessments made as a result of any examinations by any
Governmental Entity of the Tax Returns of, or including, Omega or
any of its Subsidiaries have been fully paid. No issue has been
raised by a Governmental Entity in any prior examination or audit
of each of Omega and its Subsidiaries which, by application of the
same or similar principles, could reasonably be expected to result
in a proposed deficiency in respect of such Governmental Entity for
any subsequent taxable period. There are no Liens for Taxes (other
than statutory liens for Taxes not yet due and payable) upon any of
the assets of Omega or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither Omega nor
any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or is bound by any Tax
sharing, allocation or indemnification agreement or arrangement
(other than such an agreement or arrangement
-16-
exclusively between or among Omega and its Subsidiaries). Neither
Omega nor any of its Subsidiaries (A) has been a member of an
affiliated group filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return
(other than a group the common parent of which was Omega) or
(B) has any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than
Omega or any of its Subsidiaries) under Treas. Reg. §1.1502-6
(or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law), or as a
transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise. Neither Omega
nor any of its Subsidiaries has been, within the past two years or
otherwise as part of a “plan (or series of related
transactions)” (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the
Code) of which the Merger is also a part, or a “distributing
corporation” or a “controlled corporation”
(within the meaning of Section 355(a)(1)(A) of the Code) in a
distribution of stock intended to qualify for tax-free treatment
under Section 355 of the Code. No share of Omega Common Stock
is owned by a Subsidiary of Omega. Omega is not and has not been a
“United States real property holding company” within
the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the
applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the
Code. Neither Omega, its Subsidiaries nor any other Person on their
behalf has executed or entered into any written agreement with, or
obtained or applied for any written consents or written clearances
or any other Tax rulings from, nor has there been any written
agreement executed or entered into on behalf of any of them with
any Governmental Entity, relating to Taxes, including any IRS
private letter rulings or comparable rulings of any Governmental
Entity and closing agreements pursuant to Section 7121 of the Code
or any predecessor provision thereof or any similar provision of
any applicable law, which rulings or agreements would have a
continuing effect after the Effective Time. Neither Omega nor any
of its Subsidiaries has engaged in a “reportable
transaction,” as set forth in Treas. Reg. § 1.6011-4(b),
or any transaction that is the same as or substantially similar to
one of the types of transactions that the IRS has determined to be
a tax avoidance transaction and identified by notice, regulation or
other form of published guidance as a “listed
transaction,” as set forth in Treas. Reg. §
1.6011-4(b)(2). FNB has received complete copies of (i) all
federal, state, local and foreign income or franchise Tax Returns
of Omega and its Subsidiaries relating to the taxable periods
beginning January 1, 2004 or later and (ii) any audit
report issued within the last three years relating to any Taxes due
from or with respect to Omega or its Subsidiaries. Neither Omega,
any of its Subsidiaries nor FNB (as a successor to Omega) will be
required to include any item of material income in, or exclude any
material item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable
period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a
result of any (i) change in method of accounting for a taxable
period ending on or prior to the Closing Date,
(ii) installment sale or open transaction disposition made on
or prior to the Effective Time, (iii) prepaid amount received
on or prior to the Closing Date or (iv) deferred intercompany
gain or any excess loss account of Omega or any of its Subsidiaries
for periods or portions of periods described in Treasury
Regulations under Section 1502 of the Code (or any
corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign law)

material Omega Benefit Plans and all material Omega Employment
Agreements.
(b) With
respect to each Omega Plan, Omega has delivered or made available
to FNB a true, correct and complete copy of: (i) each writing
constituting a part of such Omega Plan, including without
limitation all plan documents, current employee communications,
benefit schedules, trust agreements, and insurance contracts and
other funding vehicles; (ii) the most recent Annual Report

(iii) the current summary plan description and any material
modifications thereto, if any (in each case, whether or not
required to be furnished under ERISA); (iv) the most recent
annual financial report, if any; (v) the most recent actuarial
report, if any; and (vi) the most recent determination letter
from the Internal Revenue Service (“the IRS”), if any.
Omega has delivered or made available to FNB a true, correct and
complete copy of each material Omega Employment Agreement.
(c) All
material contributions required to be made to any Omega Plan by
applicable law or regulation or by any plan document or other

period through the date hereof have been timely made or paid in
full or, if the contributions or payments are not due on or before
the date hereof, have been fully reflected on the financial
statements to the extent required by GAAP. Each Omega Benefit Plan
that is an employee welfare benefit plan under Section 3(1) of
ERISA either (i) is funded through an
-19-
insurance company contract and is not a “welfare benefit
fund” within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code or
(ii) is unfunded.
(d) With
respect to each Omega Plan, Omega and its Subsidiaries have
complied, and are now in compliance, in all material respects, with
all provisions of ERISA, the Code and all laws and regulations
applicable to such Omega Plans. Each Omega Plan has been
administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms.
There is not now, nor do any circumstances exist that would
reasonably be expected to give rise to, any requirement for the
posting of security with respect to an Omega Plan or the imposition
of any material lien on the assets of Omega or any of its
Subsidiaries under ERISA or the Code. Section 3.11(d) of the
Omega Disclosure Schedule identifies each Omega Plan that is
intended to be a “qualified plan” within the meaning of
Section 401(a) of the Code (“Omega Qualified Plans”).
The IRS has issued a favorable determination letter with respect to
each Omega Qualified Plan and the related trust that has not been
revoked or Omega is entitled to rely on a favorable opinion issued
by the IRS, and, to the knowledge of Omega, there are no existing
circumstances and no events have occurred that would reasonably be
expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any Omega
Qualified Plan or the related trust. No trust funding any Omega
Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code
Section 501(c)(9). To the knowledge of Omega, none of Omega
and its Subsidiaries nor any other person, including any fiduciary,
has engaged in any “prohibited transaction” (as defined
in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA),
which would reasonably be expected to subject any of the Omega
Plans or their related trusts, Omega, any of its Subsidiaries or
any person that Omega or any of its Subsidiaries has an obligation
to indemnify, to any material Tax or penalty imposed under Section
4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.
(e) With
respect to each Omega Plan that is subject to Title IV or
Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 or 4971 of the Code,
(i) there does not exist any accumulated funding deficiency
within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or
Section 302 of ERISA, whether or not waived, and, (ii)
(A) the fair market value of the assets of such Omega Plan
equals or exceeds the actuarial present value of all accrued
benefits under such Omega Plan (whether or not vested) on a
termination basis; (B) no reportable event within the meaning
of Section 4043(c) of ERISA for which the 30-day notice requirement
has not been waived has occurred; (C) all premiums to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) have
been timely paid in full; (D) no liability (other than for
premiums to the PBGC) under Title IV of ERISA has been or would
reasonably be expected to be incurred by Omega or any of its
Subsidiaries; and (E) the PBGC has not instituted proceedings
to terminate any such Omega Plan and, to Omega’s knowledge,
no condition exists that presents a risk that such proceedings will
be instituted or which would reasonably be expected to constitute
grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA for the termination of, or
the appointment of a trustee to administer, any such Omega Plan,
except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or
in the aggregate, in the case of clauses (A), (B), (C),
(D) and (E).
-20-
(f)
(i) No Omega Benefit Plan is a Multiemployer Plan or a plan
that has two or more contributing sponsors at least two of whom are
not under common control, within the meaning of Section 4063
of ERISA (a “Multiple Employer Plan”); (ii) none
of Omega and its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA
Affiliates has, at any time during the last six years, contributed
to or been obligated to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or
Multiple Employer Plan; and (iii) none of Omega and its
Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has
incurred, during the last six years, any Withdrawal Liability that
has not been satisfied in full. There does not now exist, nor do
any circumstances exist that would reasonably be expected to result
in, any Controlled Group Liability that would be a liability of
Omega or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time,
other than such liabilities that arise solely out of, or relate
solely to, the Omega Benefit Plans. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, neither Omega nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor,
to Omega’s knowledge, any of their respective ERISA
Affiliates, has engaged in any transaction described in
Section 4069 or Section 4204 or 4212 of ERISA.
(g) Omega
and its Subsidiaries have no liability for life, health, medical or
other welfare benefits to former employees or beneficiaries or
dependents thereof, except for health continuation coverage as
required by Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I
of ERISA or applicable law and at no expense to Omega and its
Subsidiaries.
(h) Neither
the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
will, either alone or in conjunction with any other event (whether
contingent or otherwise), (i) result in any payment or benefit
becoming due or payable, or required to be provided, to any
director, employee or independent contractor of Omega or any of its
Subsidiaries, (ii) increase the amount or value of any benefit
or compensation otherwise payable or required to be provided to any
such director, employee or independent contractor,
(iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment,
vesting or funding of any such benefit or compensation or
(iv) result in any amount failing to be deductible by reason
of Section 280G of the Code or would be subject to an excise tax
under Section 4999 of the Code or Section 409A of the
Code.
(i) No
labor organization or group of employees of Omega or any of its
Subsidiaries has made a pending demand for recognition or
certification, and there are no representation or certification
proceedings or petitions seeking a representation proceeding
presently pending or, to Omega’s knowledge, threatened to be
brought or filed, with the National Labor Relations Board or any
other labor relations tribunal or authority. Each of Omega and its
Subsidiaries is in material compliance with all applicable laws
respecting employment and employment practices, terms and
conditions of employment, wages and hours and occupational safety
and health.
3.12 SEC Reports . Omega has
previously made available to FNB an accurate and complete copy of
each final registration statement, prospectus, report, schedule and
definitive proxy statement filed since January 1, 2005 by
Omega with the SEC pursuant to the
-21-
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (the “Omega
Reports”), on and prior to the date of this Agreement and no
such Omega Report as of the date of such Omega Report contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances
in which they were made, not misleading, except that information as
of a later date (but before the date of this Agreement) shall be
deemed to modify information as of an earlier date. Since
January 1, 2005, as of their respective dates, all Omega
Reports filed under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
complied as to form in all material respects with the published
rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.
3.13 Compliance with Applicable
Law . Omega and each of its Subsidiaries hold all licenses,
franchises, permits and authorizations necessary for the lawful
conduct of their respective businesses under and pursuant to each,
and, since January 1, 2005, have complied in all respects with
and are not in default in any respect under any, applicable law,
statute, order, rule, regulation, policy or guideline of any
Governmental Entity relating to Omega or any of its Subsidiaries
(including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act,
the Community Reinvestment Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act,
the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate
Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorist (USA Patriot)
Act of 2001, the Bank Secrecy Act and applicable limits on loans to
one borrower), except where the failure to hold such license,
franchise, permit or authorization or such noncompliance or default
is not reasonably likely to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Omega.
3.14 Contracts . Except for
matters that have not had and would not reasonably be expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect
on Omega and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (i) none of
Omega nor any of its Subsidiaries is (with or without the lapse of
time or the giving of notice, or both) in breach or default in any
material respect under any material contract, lease, license or
other agreement or instrument, (ii) to the knowledge of Omega,
none of the other parties to any such material contract, lease,
license or other agreement or instrument is (with or without the

Properties”), except for Liens that do not materially detract

(b) A
true and complete copy of each agreement pursuant to which Omega or
any of its Subsidiaries leases any real property (such agreements,
together with any
-24-
amendments, modifications and other supplements thereto,
collectively, the “Leases”) has heretofore been made
available to FNB. Each Lease is valid, binding and enforceable
against Omega or its applicable Subsidiary in accordance with its
terms and is in full force and effect (except as may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of
equitable remedies). There is not under any such Lease any material
existing default by Omega or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the
knowledge of Omega, any other party thereto, or any event which
with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a
default. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this

have a Material Adverse Effect on Omega and its Subsidiaries taken
as a whole.

Owned Properties and the properties leased pursuant to the Leases
(the “Leased Properties”) constitute all of the real
estate on which Omega and its Subsidiaries maintain their
facilities or conduct their business as of the date of this
Agreement, except for locations the loss of which would not result
in a Material Adverse Effect on Omega and its Subsidiaries taken as
a whole.

true and complete copy of each agreement pursuant to which Omega or
any of its Subsidiaries leases real property to a third party (such
agreements, together with any amendments, modifications and other

Third Party Lease is valid, binding and enforceable in accordance
with its terms and is in full force and effect (except as may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the
availability of equitable remedies). To the knowledge of Omega,
there are no existing defaults by the tenant under any Third Party
Lease, or any event which with notice or lapse of time or both
which would constitute such a default.
