(f) Surrender and Exchange of FNB Stock Certificates .

Any cash and certificates for Orrstown Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.”

No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to shares of Orrstown Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered FNB Certificate with respect to the shares of Orrstown Common Stock that such FNB Certificate holder would be entitled to receive upon surrender of such FNB Certificate until such holder shall surrender such FNB Certificate in accordance with Section 1.03(f)(iii). Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such FNB Certificate, there shall be paid to such holder of shares of Orrstown Common Stock issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, (a) promptly after the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Orrstown Common Stock and (b) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Orrstown Common Stock.

- 14 -


(vii) No Liability. None of Orrstown, FNB, any of their respective Affiliates or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

 

(viii) Investment of the Exchange Fund . The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Orrstown; provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by a full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated P-1 and A-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be payable to Orrstown.

 

(ix) Lost Certificates. If any FNB Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such FNB Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Orrstown the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Orrstown may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such FNB Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed FNB Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of FNB Common Stock formerly represented thereby, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Orrstown Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 1.03(e)(v), and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Orrstown Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 1.03(f)(iv).

 

(x) Withholding Rights Orrstown shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of FNB Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the IRC and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provisions of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Orrstown, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of FNB Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Orrstown.

 

- 15 -


(xi) Stock Transfer Books. At the close of business on the Effective Date, the stock transfer books of FNB with respect to FNB Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall be closed and, thereafter, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of FNB of shares of FNB Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of FNB Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of FNB Common Stock, formerly represented thereby, except as otherwise provided herein or by law. On or after the Effective Time, any FNB Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Orrstown for any reason shall be exchanged for the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of FNB Common Stock, formerly represented thereby, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Orrstown Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 1.03(e)(v), and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Orrstown Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 1.03(f)(iv).

 

(g) Anti-Dilution Provisions . If Orrstown shall, at any time before the Effective Date, (A) declare a dividend in shares of Orrstown Common Stock payable to shareholders of record before the Effective Date, (B) combine the outstanding shares of Orrstown Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (C) subdivide or split the outstanding shares of Orrstown Common Stock, or (D) reclassify the shares of Orrstown Common Stock, then, in any such event, the number of shares of Orrstown Common Stock to be delivered to FNB shareholders who are entitled to receive shares of Orrstown Common Stock in exchange for shares of FNB Common Stock shall be adjusted so that each FNB shareholder shall be entitled to receive such number of shares of Orrstown Common Stock as such shareholder would have been entitled to receive if the Effective Date had occurred immediately prior to the happening of such event. (By way of illustration, if Orrstown declares a stock dividend of 7% payable with respect to a record date on or prior to the Effective Date, the Common Stock Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted upward by 7%). In addition, in the event that, prior to the Effective Date, Orrstown enters into an agreement pursuant to which shares of Orrstown Common Stock would be converted into shares or other securities or obligations of another corporation, proper provision shall be made in such agreement so that each FNB shareholder entitled to receive shares of Orrstown Common Stock in the Merger shall be entitled to receive such number of shares or other securities or amount of obligations of such other corporation as such shareholder would be entitled to receive if the Effective Date had occurred immediately prior to the happening of such event.

(c) Except as set forth in the FNB Disclosure Schedule, FNB is not in default in any material respect under any material contract, agreement, commitment, arrangement, lease, insurance policy or other instrument to which it is a party, by which its assets, business or operations may be bound or affected, or under which it or its assets, business or operations receive benefits, and there has not occurred any event that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute such a default.

(a) FNB has, or will have as to property acquired after the date hereof, good and, as to real property, marketable title to all assets and properties owned by FNB in the conduct of its business, whether such assets and properties are real or personal, tangible or intangible, including assets and property reflected in the balance sheets contained in the FNB Regulatory Reports and in the FNB Financials or acquired subsequent thereto (except to the extent that such assets and properties have been disposed of for fair value, in the ordinary course of business, since the date of such balance sheets), subject to no encumbrances, liens, mortgages, security interests or pledges, except (i) those items which secure repurchase agreements and liabilities for borrowed money from a Federal Home Loan Bank, (ii) statutory liens for amounts not yet delinquent or which are being contested in good faith and (iii) items permitted under Article IV. FNB, as lessee, has the right under valid and subsisting leases of real and personal properties used by FNB in the conduct of its business to occupy or use all such properties as presently occupied and used by each of them. Such existing leases and commitments to lease constitute or will constitute operating leases for both tax and financial accounting purposes and the lease expense and minimum rental commitments with respect to such leases and lease commitments are as disclosed in the notes to the FNB Financials.

 

(b) With respect to all agreements pursuant to which FNB has purchased securities subject to an agreement to resell, if any, FNB has a valid, perfected first lien or security interest in the securities or other collateral securing the repurchase agreement, and the value of such collateral equals or exceeds the amount of the debt secured thereby.

 

(c) FNB currently maintains insurance considered by FNB to be reasonable for its operations and similar in scope and coverage to that maintained by other businesses similarly engaged. FNB has not received notice from any insurance carrier that (i) such insurance will be cancelled or that coverage thereunder will be reduced or eliminated, or (ii) premium costs with respect to such policies of insurance will be materially increased. There are presently no material claims pending under such policies of insurance and no notices have been given by FNB under such policies. All such insurance is valid and enforceable and in full force and effect, and within the last three years FNB has received each type of insurance coverage for which it has applied and during such periods have not been denied indemnification for any material claims submitted under any of their insurance policies.

 

Section 2.10 - Legal Proceedings . Except as set forth in the FNB Disclosure Schedule, FNB is not a party to any, and there are no pending or, to the best of FNB’s knowledge, threatened, legal, administrative, arbitration or other proceedings, claims (whether asserted or unasserted), actions or governmental investigations or inquiries of any nature (i) against FNB, (ii) to which FNB’s assets are or may be subject, (iii) challenging the validity or propriety of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iv) which could adversely affect the ability of FNB to perform under this Agreement.

FNB has not consented to or entered into any Regulatory Agreement. FNB has no reason to believe that it will not receive regulatory approval for the Merger. FNB has no reason to believe that the most recent examination of FNB conducted by the OCC will result in the identification of any matters requiring the attention of FNB that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect as to FNB. FNB received a rating of “satisfactory” in connection with its last CRA examination.

 

Section 2.12 - ERISA . FNB has previously delivered to Orrstown true and complete copies of all employee pension benefit plans within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(2), including profit sharing plans, employee stock ownership plans, stock purchase plans, deferred compensation and supplemental income plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, employment agreements, annual executive and administrative incentive plan or long term incentive plans, severance plans, policies and agreements, group insurance plans, and all other employee welfare benefit plans within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(1) (including vacation pay, sick leave, short-term disability, long-term disability, and medical plans) and all other employee benefit plans, policies, agreements and arrangements, all of which are set forth in the FNB Disclosure Schedule, sponsored or contributed to for the benefit of the employees or former employees (including retired employees) and any beneficiaries thereof or directors or former directors of FNB, together with (i) the most recent actuarial (if any) and financial reports relating to those plans which constitute “qualified plans” under IRC Section 401(a), (ii) the most recent annual reports relating to such plans filed with any government agency, and (iii) all rulings and determination letters which pertain to any such plans.

With respect to each of such plans that is subject to Title IV of ERISA, the present value of the accrued benefits under such plan, based upon the actuarial assumptions used for funding purposes in the plan’s most recent actuarial report did not,

 

- 23 -


as of its latest valuation date, exceed the then current value of the assets of such plan allocable to such accrued benefits. FNB has not incurred nor is it subject to any liability under ERISA Section 4201 for a complete or partial withdrawal from a multiemployer plan. All “employee benefit plans,” as defined in ERISA Section 3(3), of FNB comply and within the past six (6) years have complied in all material respects with (i) relevant provisions of ERISA and (ii) in the case of plans intended to qualify for favorable income tax treatment, provisions of the IRC relevant to such treatment. No prohibited transaction (which shall mean any transaction prohibited by ERISA Section 406 and not exempt under ERISA Section 408 or any transaction prohibited under IRC Section 4975) has occurred within the past six (6) years with respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by FNB which would result in the imposition, directly or indirectly, of an excise tax under IRC Section 4975 or other penalty under ERISA or the IRC. FNB provides continuation coverage under group health plans for separating employees and “qualified beneficiaries” in accordance with the provisions of IRC Section 4980B(f). Such group health plans are in material compliance with Section 1862(b)(1) of the Social Security Act.

 

Section 2.13 - Brokers, Finders and Financial Advisors; Fairness Opinion . Except for FNB’s engagement of Boenning and Scattergood, Inc.
