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 rights and obligations of the parties or their respective shareholders hereunder); provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 1.4(a)) provided for in this Agreement, (ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of Omega’s shareholders as a result of receiving the Merger Consideration or the Tax treatment of either party pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
     1.2 Effective Time . The Merger shall become effective as set forth in the articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) that shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Secretary of State of the State of Florida on or before the Closing Date (as defined in Section 9.1). The term “Effective Time” shall mean the date and time when the Merger becomes effective as set forth in the Articles of Merger. “Effective Date” shall mean the date on which the Effective Time occurs.
     1.3 Effects of the Merger .
          (a) At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in Sections 1921 through 1932 of the PBCL and Sections 607.1101 through 607.11101 of the FBCA.
          (b) Directors and Executive Officers of the Surviving Company . The directors of the Surviving Company immediately after the Merger shall be (i) the directors of FNB immediately prior to the Merger and (ii) three current independent members of Omega’s Board of Directors (the “Omega Designees”) as are mutually agreed by FNB and Omega. The executive officers of the Surviving Company immediately after the Merger shall be the executive officers of FNB immediately prior to the Merger.
     1.4 Conversion of Omega Capital Stock .
          (a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each share of common stock, $5.00 par value, of Omega (“Omega Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Treasury Shares (as defined in Section 1.4(b)) shall, by virtue of the Merger, no longer be outstanding and shall as of the Effective Time automatically be converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive as merger consideration (the “Merger Consideration”) 2.022 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, $.01 par value, of FNB (“FNB Common Stock”).

-2-


 
          (b) At and after the Effective Time, each Treasury Share shall be cancelled and retired and no shares of FNB Common Stock or other consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor. “Treasury Shares” means shares of Omega Common Stock held by Omega or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 3.1(c)) or by FNB or any of its Subsidiaries, other than in a fiduciary, including custodial or agency, capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted in good faith.
          (c) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Omega shall be closed as to holders of Omega Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and no transfer of Omega Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing Omega Common Stock (“Certificates”) are properly presented in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Agreement to the Exchange Agent (as defined in Section 2.2(a)), such Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged for certificates representing the number of whole shares of FNB Common Stock into which the Omega Common Stock represented thereby was converted in the Merger, plus any payment for any fractional share of FNB Common Stock without any interest thereon and any dividends or distributions to which the holder of such Certificates is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b).
          (d) Each holder of Omega Common Stock shall have the option of enrolling the whole shares of FNB Common Stock issuable to such shareholder upon the consummation of the Merger in FNB’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRSP Plan”). Each Omega shareholder electing to enroll in the DRSP Plan shall be issued a certificate representing the number of whole shares of FNB Common Stock received in the Merger, and any future dividends will be reinvested in accordance with the DRSP Plan.
          (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Omega Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of FNB Common Stock, after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such holder, shall receive an amount in cash, without interest, rounded to the nearest cent, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the Average Closing Price (as defined below) as of the Closing Date by (b) the fraction of a share (calculated to the nearest ten-thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of FNB Common Stock, to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends or other rights in respect of any such fractional shares. “Average Closing Price” means, as of any specified date, the average composite closing price of FNB Common Stock on the NYSE as reported in New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions in The Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) or, if not reported therein, in another mutually agreed upon authoritative source, for each of the 20 consecutive trading days ending on and including the fifth such trading day prior to the specified date rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth.

-3-


 
     1.5 FNB Capital Stock . At and after the Effective Time, each share of FNB capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger.
     1.6 Omega Equity and Equity-Based Awards .
          (a) Omega Stock Options . Effective as of the Effective Time, each then outstanding option to purchase shares of Omega Common Stock (each an “Omega Stock Option”), pursuant to the equity-based compensation plans identified on Section 3.11(a) of the Omega Disclosure Schedule (as defined in Article III) (the “Omega Stock Plans”) and the award agreements evidencing the grants thereunder, granted to any current or former employee or director of, or consultant to, Omega or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 3.1(b)) shall at the Effective Time cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Omega Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into an option to acquire shares of FNB Common Stock and each option to acquire shares of Omega Common Stock that prior to the Effective Time is fully vested and exercisable, shall continue as a fully vested and exercisable option of FNB on the terms hereinafter set forth. FNB shall assume each such Omega Stock Option in accordance with the terms of the relevant Omega Stock Plan and stock option or other agreement by which it is evidenced, except that from and after the Effective Time: (i) FNB and the Compensation Committee of its Board of Directors shall be substituted for Omega and the committee of the Board of Directors of Omega, including, if applicable, the entire Board of Directors of Omega, administering such Omega Stock Plan, (ii) each Omega Stock Option assumed by FNB may be exercised solely for shares of FNB Common Stock, (iii) the number of shares of FNB Common Stock subject to such Omega Stock Option shall be equal to the number of shares of Omega Common Stock subject to such Omega Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, provided that any fractional shares of FNB Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest share, and (iv) the exercise price per share of FNB Common Stock under each such option shall be the amount (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the per share exercise price under each such Omega Stock Option prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio. Notwithstanding clauses (iii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence, each Omega Stock Option that is an “incentive stock option” shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. FNB and Omega agree to take all necessary steps to effect the provisions of this Section 1.6(a). As of the Effective Time, FNB shall issue to each holder of each outstanding Omega Stock Option that has been assumed by FNB (the “Assumed Stock Options”) a document evidencing the conversion and assumption of such Omega Stock Option by FNB pursuant to this Section 1.6(a).
          (b) Omega Restricted Stock Units . Effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then outstanding restricted stock unit (each an “Omega RSU”), pursuant

-4-


 
to the Omega Stock Plans and the award agreements evidencing the grants thereunder, granted to any current or former employee of Omega or any of its Subsidiaries shall become vested in full. At the Effective Time, each holder of an Omega RSU shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of FNB Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the total number of shares of Omega Common Stock subject to such Omega RSU.
          (c) Omega Employee Stock Ownership Plan . If requested by FNB, Omega agrees that its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) shall terminate as of a date not later than March 31, 2008 and, in connection therewith, repay all indebtedness of the ESOP. Appropriate distributions of all of the assets held by the ESOP will be made to the participants in the ESOP as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter in accordance with the provisions of the ESOP and applicable law.
          (d) Omega 401(k) Plan . Not later than the day prior to the Closing Date, Omega agrees to terminate its Section 401(k) Plan.
          (e) Reservation of Shares . FNB has taken all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of FNB Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Assumed Stock Options. As soon as practicable following the Closing (as defined in Section 9.1), FNB shall file a registration statement on an 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 effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such equity awards remain outstanding.
     1.7 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Company . FNB’s Charter (as defined in Section 4.1(b)) as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law. FNB’s Bylaws (as defined in Section 4.1(b)) as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law.
     1.8 Tax Consequences . It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.
     1.9 Dissenting Shares . No outstanding shares of Omega Common Stock shall have any dissenters’ rights of appraisal under the PBCL.
     1.10 The Bank Merger . As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, Omega and FNB shall cause Omega Bank (“Omega Bank”) and First National Bank of

-5-


 
Pennsylvania (“FNB Bank”) to enter into a bank merger agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Bank Merger Agreement”), that provides for the merger of Omega Bank with and into FNB Bank (the “Bank Merger”), in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and the terms of the Bank Merger Agreement and as soon as practicable after consummation of the Merger. The Bank Merger Agreement provides that the directors of FNB Bank (the “FNB Bank Board”) upon consummation of the Bank Merger shall be the directors of FNB Bank immediately prior to the Bank Merger plus the four Omega Bank Designees as defined in Section 6.15(b).
ARTICLE II
EXCHANGE OF SHARES
     2.1 FNB to Make Merger Consideration Available . As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, FNB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this 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 certificates for shares of FNB Common Stock, collectively being referred to as the “Exchange Fund”), to be issued 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.

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).

          (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.

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 .

     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 lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both) in breach or default in any material respect thereunder and (iii) neither Omega nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice of the intention of any party to terminate or cancel any such material contract, lease, license or other agreement or instrument whether as a termination or cancellation for convenience or for default of Omega or any of its Subsidiaries.

Neither Omega nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any cease-and-desist or other order or enforcement action issued by, or is a party to any written agreement, consent agreement or memorandum of understanding with, or is a party to any commitment letter or similar undertaking to, or is subject to any order or directive by, or has been ordered to pay any civil money penalty by, or has been since January 1, 2005, a recipient of any supervisory letter from, or since January 1, 2005, has

To the knowledge of Omega, there has not been any event or occurrence since January 1, 2005 that could reasonably be expected to result in a determination that Omega Bank is not “well capitalized” and “well managed” as a matter of U.S. federal banking law. Omega Bank has at least a “satisfactory” rating under the U.S. Community Reinvestment Act.

          (c) The 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.
