Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 13, 2013, F.N.B. Corporation, the parent company of First National Bank of Pennsylvania, and BCSB Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of Baltimore County Savings Bank, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which BCSB Bancorp will merge with and into F.N.B. As a result of the merger, the separate corporate existence of BCSB Bancorp will cease and F.N.B. will continue as the surviving corporation. The merger is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2014, subject to approval of the merger by BCSB Bancorp shareholders, receipt of required regulatory and other approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Immediately after the merger is completed, Baltimore County Savings Bank, a Maryland-chartered commercial bank, is to merge with and into First National Bank of Pennsylvania, a national association, with First National Bank of Pennsylvania being the surviving entity.
In the merger between BCSB Bancorp and F.N.B., all of the outstanding shares of BCSB Bancorp common stock will be cancelled, and shareholders of BCSB Bancorp will receive 2.08 shares of F.N.B. common stock for each share of BCSB Bancorp common stock they own. The exchange ratio is fixed and the transaction is expected to qualify as a tax-free exchange for shareholders of BCSB Bancorp.
The merger agreement contains various customary representations, warranties and covenants by BCSB Bancorp and F.N.B. BCSB Bancorp and F.N.B. agreed to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course and forbear from taking certain actions while the merger is pending. In addition, BCSB Bancorp agreed that it will not solicit or encourage proposals for an alternative business combination transaction or, subject to certain exceptions, enter into discussions or furnish information in connection with any proposals for alternative business combination transactions.
Upon completion of the merger, outstanding BCSB Bancorp stock options and share awards relating to shares of BCSB Bancorp common stock will be converted into options and share awards relating to shares of F.N.B. common stock, subject to adjustments based on the fixed exchange ratio of 2.08 shares of F.N.B. common stock per share of BCSB Bancorp common stock.
The merger will not be completed unless a number of customary closing conditions are met, including, among others, approval of the merger by BCSB Bancorp shareholders, the registration of the offering of the F.N.B. common stock to the BCSB Bancorp shareholders under the Securities Act of 1933, the listing of such stock for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, receipt of required regulatory and other approvals and the expiration of applicable statutory waiting periods, the accuracy of specified representations and warranties of each party, receipt of tax opinions from each partys respective tax counsel, and the absence of any injunctions or other legal restraints.
The merger agreement contains termination rights which may be exercised by BCSB Bancorp or F.N.B. in specific circumstances, such as the following: a required regulatory approval has been denied by final, non-appealable action of a governmental entity; the parties are unable to complete the merger by April 30, 2014; the other party has committed a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant which would prevent a closing condition from being satisfied and the breach is not or cannot be cured within 30 days; or BCSB Bancorps shareholders failed to approve the merger. In addition, BCSB Bancorp may terminate the merger agreement to enter into an alternative business combination transaction pursuant to a superior proposal, as defined by the merger agreement, or if, during a specified period prior to the closing of the merger, the average closing price of F.N.B. common stock is less than 75% of its average closing price over the 10 trading days immediately prior to the execution of the merger agreement, and F.N.B. common stock underperforms a specified peer group index by more than 20%. If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, BCSB Bancorp has agreed to pay F.N.B. a termination fee of $3.25 million.
In connection with the merger agreement, each of the persons currently serving as a director of BCSB Bancorp entered into a voting agreement with F.N.B. in which he agreed, among other things, to vote his shares of BCSB Bancorp common stock in favor of the merger.
The foregoing summary of the merger agreement and the voting agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of those agreements. As such, the merger agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, is incorporated herein by reference; and the form of voting agreement, which is an exhibit to the merger agreement, is also incorporated herein by reference.
The representations, warranties and covenants of each party set forth in the merger agreement have been made only for purposes of, were and are solely for the benefit of the parties to, the merger agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the merger agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. In addition, the representations and warranties in the merger agreement (i) will not survive consummation of the merger, unless otherwise specified therein, and cannot be the basis for any claims under the merger agreement by the other party
after termination of the merger agreement, except as the result of a willful breach, and (ii) were made only as of the date of the merger agreement or such other date as is specified in the merger agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the merger agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the parties public disclosures. Accordingly, the merger agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the merger agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding F.N.B., BCSB Bancorp, their respective affiliates or their respective businesses. The merger agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding F.N.B. or BCSB Bancorp, their respective affiliates or their respective businesses, the merger agreement and the merger that will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the registration statement on Form S-4 of F.N.B. that will include a proxy statement of BCSB Bancorp and a prospectus of F.N.B., as well as in the Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q and other filings that each of F.N.B. and BCSB Bancorp make with the SEC.
Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which contain F.N.B.s expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as believe, expect, anticipate, intend, target, estimate, continue, positions, prospects or potential, by future conditional verbs such as will, would, should, could or may, or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and F.N.B. assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements.
In addition to factors previously disclosed in F.N.B.s reports filed with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this filing, the following factors among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: ability to obtain regulatory approvals and meet other closing conditions to the merger, including approval of the merger by BCSB Bancorp shareholders, on the expected terms and schedule; delay in closing the merger; difficulties and delays in integrating the F.N.B. and BCSB Bancorp businesses or fully realizing cost savings and other benefits; business disruption following the merger; changes in asset quality and credit risk; the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; changes in interest rates and capital markets; inflation; difficulties experienced by F.N.B. in expanding its business and operations in the Baltimore, MD market area, including retention of customers and key personnel of BCSB Bancorp and its subsidiary Baltimore County Savings Bank; customer acceptance of F.N.B. products and services; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; customer disintermediation; the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives; competitive conditions; the inability to realize cost savings or revenues or to implement integration plans and other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; economic conditions; and the impact, extent and timing of technological changes, capital management activities, and other actions of the Federal Reserve Board and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants 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 1
THE MERGER
1.1 The Merger.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law (the MGCL) and the Florida Business Corporation Act (the FBCA), at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) BCSB 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 BCSB shall cease.
1.2 Effective Time.
The Merger shall become effective as set forth in the articles of merger (each, the Articles of Merger) that shall be filed with the Department of Assessments and Taxation of the
State of Maryland 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) Effects Under MGCL and FBCA. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 3-114 of the MGCL and Section 607.1106 of the FBCA.
(b) Directors and Executive Officers of the Surviving Company. The directors of the Surviving Company immediately after the Merger shall be the directors of FNB immediately prior to the Merger. 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 BCSB Common Stock.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of BCSB (BCSB 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 2.080 shares (the Exchange Ratio) of common stock, $0.01 par value, of FNB (FNB Common Stock) (the Merger Consideration).
(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 the shares of BCSB Common Stock held by BCSB or any of the BCSB Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 3.1(d)) 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 BCSB shall be closed as to holders of BCSB Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of shares of BCSB Common Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time, and no transfer of BCSB Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing shares of BCSB Common Stock (Certificates) are properly presented pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement to the Exchange Agent (as defined in Section 2.1), such Certificates shall be cancelled and exchanged for FNB Common Stock held in book entry representing the number of whole shares into which the BCSB Common Stock represented by the Certificates was converted in the Merger, plus, if applicable pursuant to Section 1.4(e), 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). All shares of FNB Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of FNB Common Stock and/or declared but unpaid dividends issued or paid upon the surrender for exchange of shares of BCSB 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 BCSB Common Stock.
(d) Each holder of BCSB 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 FNBs Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the DRSP Plan), as long as such shareholder enrolls with a minimum of 50 whole shares of FNB Common Stock. Each BCSB shareholder electing to enroll in the DRSP Plan shall be issued FNB Common Stock held in book entry representing the number of whole shares received in the Merger.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of BCSB 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 as reported by the NYSE for each of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on and including the fifth such trading day prior to the specified date rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth.
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 BCSB Equity-Based Awards.
(a) BCSB Stock Options. Effective as of the Effective Time, each then outstanding option to purchase BCSB Common Stock (each, a BCSB Stock Option) pursuant to the equity-based compensation plans identified on Section 3.11(a) of the BCSB Disclosure Schedule (as defined in Article 3 hereof) (the BCSB Stock Plans) and the award agreements evidencing the grants thereunder, granted to any current or former employee or director of BCSB or any of the BCSB Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 3.1(d)) shall at the Effective Time cease to represent a right to acquire BCSB Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into an option to acquire shares of FNB Common Stock on the terms hereinafter set forth. FNB shall assume each such BCSB Stock Option in accordance with the terms of the relevant BCSB 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, including, if applicable, the entire Board of Directors of FNB, shall be substituted for BCSB and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of BCSB, including, if applicable, the entire Board of Directors of BCSB, administering such BCSB Stock Plan, (ii) each BCSB 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 BCSB Stock Option shall be equal to the number of shares of BCSB Common Stock subject to such BCSB Stock Option immediately prior to the
Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (as adjusted, if applicable, pursuant to Section 2.3 herein), provided that, unless otherwise provided for in such BCSB Stock Option, 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 BCSB Stock Option prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (as adjusted, if applicable, pursuant to Section 2.3 herein). Notwithstanding clauses (iii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence, each BCSB Stock Option that is an incentive stock option shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Code, and the Treasury 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 BCSB agree to take all reasonable and 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 BCSB Stock Option that has been assumed by FNB a document evidencing the conversion and assumption of such BCSB Stock Option by FNB pursuant to this Section 1.6(a).
(b) BCSB Share Awards. At the Effective Time, each holder of any then outstanding restricted share awards relating to BCSB Common Stock, including those designated as performance share awards (each, a BCSB Share Award), shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of FNB Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (as adjusted, if applicable, pursuant to Section 2.3 herein) multiplied by the total number of shares of BCSB Common Stock subject to such BCSB Share Award (provided that any fractional shares of FNB Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest share), subject to any applicable tax withholding requirements. Notwithstanding anything that may be to the contrary in this subparagraph (b), each BCSB Share Award shall remain subject to any applicable restrictions, vesting and other terms and conditions unless otherwise provided in the award agreement evidencing such BCSB Share Award or the relevant BCSB Stock Plan.
1.7 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Company. The FNB 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. The FNB 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 or reorganization for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.
1.9 Dissenting Shares. No right to fair value or appraisal or similar rights shall be available to holders of BCSB Common Stock with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.
1.10 The Bank Merger. As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement BCSB and FNB shall cause Baltimore County Savings Bank (BCSB Bank) and First National Bank of Pennsylvania (FNB Bank), respectively, to enter into a bank merger agreement, the form of which is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the Bank Merger Agreement), and
which provides for the merger of BCSB 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 upon consummation of the Bank Merger shall be the directors of FNB Bank immediately prior to the Bank Merger.
1.11 Right to Revise Structure. FNB may at any time change the method of effecting the combination contemplated by this Agreement if and to the extent it deems such a change to be desirable; 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 BCSBs shareholders as a result of receiving the Merger Consideration or the Tax treatment of either party pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) be reasonably likely to materially impede or delay the consummation of the transactions this Agreement contemplates. In the event FNB elects to make such a change, the parties agree to execute appropriate documents to reflect the change.
ARTICLE 2
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 Registrar and Transfer Company (Exchange Agent), for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article 2, (i) book entry shares representing the aggregate number of shares of FNB Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement in exchange for the shares of BCSB 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)(i), and (iii) cash in lieu of any fractional shares of FNB Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.4(e) and paid pursuant to Section 1.4 in exchange for outstanding shares of BCSB Common Stock (such cash and book entry shares for shares of FNB Common Stock, collectively being referred to as the Exchange Fund).
2.2 Exchange Shares.
(a) As soon as practicable but in no event later than ten business days after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of BCSB Common Stock a letter of transmittal in customary form as prepared by FNB and reasonably acceptable to BCSB 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 BCSB 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 shares of BCSB 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: (i) book entry shares representing FNB Common Stock into which the shares of BCSB Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.4, (ii) any cash in lieu of any fractional share of FNB Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled and (iii) 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 shares of BCSB 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 BCSB 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, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and/or any declared but unpaid dividends to which any former holder of shares of BCSB 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 shares of FNB Common Stock, or any cash in lieu of fractional shares and/or declared but unpaid dividends, are 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. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to FNB, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by FNB or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as FNB and the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, FNB or the Surviving Company with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the 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, if any, with a record date prior to the Effective Time that have been declared by BCSB in respect of shares of BCSB 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(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time of the Merger and which had become payable with respect to such whole shares of FNB Common Stock prior to the time of surrender, 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.
(c) Any portion of the Exchange Fund, including any interest thereon, that remains undistributed to the shareholders of BCSB following the passage of twelve (12) months
after the Effective Time of the Merger shall be delivered to FNB, upon demand, and any shareholders of BCSB who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.2 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).
(d) Neither BCSB nor FNB shall be liable to any holder of shares of BCSB Common Stock or FNB Common Stock, as the case may be, for such shares, any 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.
(e) 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.
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, 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, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in FNBs capitalization, then a proportionate adjustment or adjustments will be made to the Exchange Ratio and, as applicable, the Average Closing Price, 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 such class 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 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 shares of BCSB 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 BCSB Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or FNB, as the case may be.

(i) Recourse. Except as set forth in Section 3.25(a)(i) of the BCSB Disclosure Schedule, none of the Mortgage Loans or Servicing Agreements provides for Recourse to BCSB or any BCSB Subsidiary.
(ii) Advances. The Advances are valid and subsisting amounts owing to BCSB or a BCSB Subsidiary, were made in accordance with all applicable Laws and are carried on the books of BCSB at values determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not subject to setoffs or claims arising from acts or omissions of BCSB or any BCSB Subsidiary. No Investor has claimed or, to the knowledge of BCSB, threatened any defense, offset or counterclaim for repayment of any Advance that is pending.
(b) Mortgage Loans. Except as set forth on Section 3.25(b) of the BCSB Disclosure Schedule:
(i) Investor/Insurer Requirements. Each Mortgage Loan was originated and conforms in all material respects to all applicable Laws and each Loan Held for Sale and each Pipeline Loan is eligible for sale to, insurance by, or pooling to back or secure as collateral securities issued or guaranteed by the applicable Investor or Insurer program under which BCSB or any BCSB Subsidiary originated the Loan Held for Sale and/or Pipeline Loan. Each Loan Held for Sale allocated to a particular Investor in accordance with standard secondary marketing practices of BCSB and the BCSB Subsidiaries is eligible for sale under an Investment Commitment. Each Loan Held for Sale not allocated to a particular Investor in accordance with standard secondary marketing practices of BCSB and the BCSB Subsidiaries would be otherwise eligible for sale under an Investment Commitment upon allocation to an Investor. To BCSBs knowledge, no fact or circumstance exists that would entitle the applicable Insurer or Investor to (A) demand from BCSB or any BCSB Subsidiary or any Affiliate of BCSB or any BCSB Subsidiary, either the repurchase of any Serviced Loan or Previously Disposed of Loan or indemnification for losses, (B) refuse to purchase a Loan Held for Sale, (C) impose on BCSB, any BCSB Subsidiary or any Affiliate of BCSB or any BCSB Subsidiary, sanctions, penalties or special requirements in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (D) rescind any insurance policy or reduce insurance benefits in respect of any Mortgage Loan which would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any obligation of BCSB, any BCSB Subsidiary or any Affiliate of BCSB or any BCSB Subsidiary under any agreement. Each Pipeline Loan complies in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations for the stage of processing that it has achieved based on the Investor or Insurer program, if applicable, under which BCSB, any BCSB Subsidiary or any Affiliate of BCSB or any BCSB Subsidiary originated the Pipeline Loan.
(ii) Documentation/Enforceability. Each Mortgage Loan is evidenced by a Mortgage Note and is duly secured by a valid first lien or subordinated lien on the related Mortgaged Property, in each case, on such forms and with such terms as comply in all material respects with all applicable Laws. Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage is genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors rights. No Mortgage Loan is subject to any rights of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable by BCSB or a BCSB Subsidiary, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
(iii) Compliance with Law. BCSB and each BCSB Subsidiary, as the case may be, has complied, and each Mortgage Loan complied and complies, in all material respects, with respect to origination, sale and servicing of the Mortgage Loans,
with all applicable Laws required to have been complied with as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation, the fair housing, anti-redlining, equal credit opportunity, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, fair credit reporting, high cost and anti-predatory lending and every other prohibition against unlawful discrimination in residential mortgage lending or governing consumer credit, and also including, without limitation, the Fair Housing Act, Consumer Credit Reporting Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1975 and Regulation B, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, and Regulation X, all as amended, and any applicable state consumer credit Law. Each originator of a Mortgage Loan was qualified to do business, and had all requisite licenses, permits and approvals, in the states in which the properties associated with the Mortgage Loans are located, as well as the states in which the associated mortgage notes or mortgages were or are to be executed.
(iv) Good Title. BCSB or BCSB Bank is the sole owner and holder of all right, title and interest in and to each Loan Held for Sale, Portfolio Loan and each Pipeline Loan. On the Effective Date, the Loans Held for Sale, the Portfolio Loans and the Pipeline Loans will be valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms and the Merger will effectively vest in FNB Bank good and marketable title to the Loans Held for Sale, the Portfolio Loans and the Pipeline Loans free and clear of any and all Liens. Neither BCSB, BCSB Bank nor any other BCSB Subsidiary or other Affiliate of BCSB or any BCSB Subsidiary has previously assigned, transferred or encumbered any of the Loans Held for Sale, the Portfolio Loans or the Pipeline Loans.
(v) Origination and Servicing Practices. The origination and servicing practices used by BCSB, each BCSB Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of BCSB or a BCSB Subsidiary or any Originator with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all material respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage lending business and in accordance with all applicable Laws. Except for customary industry standards for indemnification and repurchase remedies in connection with agreements for the sale or servicing of mortgage loans, none of BCSB, the BCSB Subsidiaries or other Affiliate of BCSB or a BCSB Subsidiary is now or has been subject to or, to the knowledge of BCSB, threatened to be subject to any material fine, suspension, settlement or other agreement or administrative agreement or sanction by, or an obligation to indemnify, an Agency, an Insurer or an Investor, relating to the origination, sale or servicing of Mortgage Loans.
(vi) Loan-to-Value Ratio: Appraisals. BCSB has relied on third-party appraisers to provide opinions and valuations upon which BCSB determines the loan-to-value ratio of Loans Held for Sale and committed Pipeline Loans. To BCSBs knowledge, at the time of origination, the loan-to-value ratio of each Loan Held for Sale and each committed Pipeline Loan did not exceed the maximum amount permitted by the applicable Investor or Insurer for such Loan Held for Sale or Pipeline Loan. The appraisal prepared in connection with property associated with each Loan Held for Sale and each Pipeline Loan was prepared by a qualified appraiser with, to the knowledge of
BCSB, no direct or indirect interest in the property, and both the appraisal and appraiser satisfied all applicable Laws.
(vii) Fraud. To BCSBs knowledge, there has been no fraudulent action on the part of any Originator or Persons acting on behalf of the Originator in connection with the Origination of any Mortgage Loan or Pipeline Loan or the application of insurance proceeds with respect to a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property for which BCSB, any BCSB Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of BCSB or a BCSB Subsidiary is responsible to the applicable Investor or Insurer or otherwise bears the risk of loss.
(viii) High Cost Loans. No Mortgage Loan is a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable, under either the Home Ownership Equity Protection Act or a similar state or local anti-predatory lending law, statute, regulation or ordinance, including, without limitation, as such terms are defined in the then current Standard & Poors LEVELS and Glossary of Terms which is now Version 5.7 Revised, Appendix E.

Neither BCSB nor any BCSB Subsidiary has received any notice or information from any Governmental Entity that it intends to terminate or restrict the status of BCSB, any BCSB Subsidiary or any employee of BCSB or a BCSB Subsidiary as an approved participant in its Mortgage Business for which BCSB or any BCSB Subsidiary is registered, approved or authorized.
(d) Repurchase/Indemnification. Section 3.25(d)(1) of the BCSB Disclosure Schedule contains a true and correct list of each written audit, investigation report or complaint in respect of BCSB, BCSB Bank or any other BCSB Subsidiary by any Agency, Investor or Insurer received by BCSB, BCSB Bank or such other BCSB Subsidiary since October 1, 2009, which asserted a material failure to comply with all applicable Laws affecting the Mortgage Business or resulted in (i) a Repurchase by BCSB, BCSB Bank or any other BCSB Subsidiary of mortgage loans and/or Real Estate Owned acquired as a result of a default under a mortgage loan from such Agency, Investor or Insurer, (ii) indemnification by BCSB, BCSB Bank or any other BCSB Subsidiary in connection with mortgage loans, or (iii) rescission of an insurance or guaranty contract or agreement applicable to mortgage loans. Section 3.25(d)(2) of the BCSB Disclosure Schedule contains a true and correct list of each Repurchase since October 1, 2009. For purposes of this Section 3.25(d), the term Repurchase means any Mortgage Loan bought back from the Investor by BCSB, BCSB Bank, any other BCSB Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of BCSB due to an early payment default and/or an asserted material failure to comply with representations, warranties or covenants made by BCSB, BCSB Bank or any other BCSB Subsidiary or Affiliates to the Investor under a Seller/servicer agreement with the Investor.

any other BCSB Subsidiary or Affiliate and an Investor for the sale of Mortgage Loans that provides for indemnification by BCSB, BCSB Bank or any other BCSB Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Investor for costs, claims and expenses arising out of a material failure by BCSB, BCSB Bank or any other BCSB Subsidiary or Affiliate to comply with the representations, warranties and covenants in such written agreement with the Investor.
(e) Servicing. Each Servicing Agreement is valid and binding on BCSB or BCSB Bank, as applicable, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors rights, and is in full force and effect without notice by the applicable Investor of termination thereof. BCSB or BCSB Bank and, to BCSBs knowledge, each other party thereto has duly performed all obligations required to be performed by it to date under each Servicing Agreement. No event or condition exists that constitutes, or after notice or lapse of time or both, will constitute, a breach, violation, or default on the part of BCSB or BCSB Bank, or, to BCSBs knowledge, any other party thereto under any such Servicing Agreement. There are no material disputes pending or, to BCSBs knowledge, threatened with respect to any Servicing Agreement. The Servicing of the Mortgage Loans complies in all material respects with all applicable Laws.
All Custodial Accounts required to be maintained by BCSB, BCSB Bank or any other BCSB Subsidiary have been established and continuously maintained in accordance with all applicable Laws.

4.11 Employee Benefits. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meaning:
FNB Benefit Plan means any employee benefit plan, program, policy, practice, or other arrangement providing benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director of FNB or any of its Subsidiaries or any beneficiary or dependent thereof that is sponsored or maintained by FNB or any of its Subsidiaries or to which FNB or any of its Subsidiaries contributes or is obligated to contribute, whether or not written, including without limitation any employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, any employee pension benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA, whether or not such plan is subject to ERISA, and any bonus, incentive, deferred compensation, vacation, stock purchase, stock option, equity compensation, severance, employment, change of control or fringe benefit plan, program or policy.
FNB Employment Agreement means a contract, offer letter or agreement of FNB or any of its Subsidiaries with or addressed to any individual who is rendering or has rendered services thereto as an employee pursuant to which FNB or any of its Subsidiaries has any actual or contingent liability or obligation to provide compensation and/or benefits in consideration for past, present or future services.
(a) Section 4.11(a) of the FNB Disclosure Schedule includes a complete list of all FNB Benefit Plans and all FNB Employment Agreements.
(b) With respect to each FNB Benefit Plan, FNB has delivered or made available to BCSB, as applicable, a true, correct and complete copy of: (i) each writing constituting a part of such FNB Benefit Plan, including without limitation all plan documents, trust agreements, and insurance contracts and other funding vehicles, (ii) the two most recent Annual Reports (Form 5500 Series) and accompanying schedules, if any, (iii) the current summary plan description and any summaries of material modifications, (iv) the most recent annual financial report for each applicable FNB Benefit Plan, if any, (v) the most recent actuarial report, if any, and (vi) the most recent determination or opinion letter from the IRS, if any, and (vii) the most recent minimum coverage and discrimination testing results, if any. FNB has delivered or made available to BCSB a true, correct and complete copy of each FNB Employment Agreement.
(c) All contributions required to be made to any FNB Benefit Plan by applicable Law or by any plan document or other contractual undertaking, and all premiums due or payable with respect to insurance policies funding any FNB Benefit Plan, for the period six years prior to and through the date of this Agreement, have been timely made or paid in full or, to the extent not required to be made or paid on or before the date of this Agreement, have been fully reflected on the financial statements to the extent required by GAAP. Each FNB Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan under Section 3(1) of ERISA either (i) is funded
through an 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 FNB Benefit Plan, FNB and its Subsidiaries have complied, and are in compliance, in all material respects, with all provisions of ERISA, the Code and all laws and regulations applicable to such FNB Benefit Plans, including, without limitation, Code Section 409A. Each FNB Benefit Plan has been administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms. There are 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 a FNB Benefit Plan or the imposition of any material lien on the assets of FNB or any of its Subsidiaries under ERISA or the Code. Section 4.11(d) of the FNB Disclosure Schedule identifies each FNB Benefit Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (FNB Qualified Plans). The IRS has issued a favorable determination letter with respect to each FNB Qualified Plan and the related trust which has not been revoked, or FNB is entitled to rely on a favorable opinion issued by the IRS. To the knowledge of FNB, there are no existing circumstances and no events have occurred that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any FNB Qualified Plan or the related trust. To the knowledge of FNB, none of FNB 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 FNB, any of its Subsidiaries or any Person that FNB 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) No FNB Benefit Plan that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 or 4971 of the Code has failed to satisfy the minimum funding standards contained in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code. With respect to such FNB Benefit Plans, except as would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect: (i) the fair market value of the assets of such FNB Benefit Plan equals or exceeds the actuarial present value of all accrued benefits under such FNB Benefit Plan, whether or not vested, on a termination basis, (ii) 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, (iii) all premiums to the PBGC have been timely paid in full, (iv) 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 FNB or any of its Subsidiaries and (v) the PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any such FNB Benefit Plan and, to FNBs knowledge, no condition exists that makes it reasonably likely 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 FNB Benefit Plan.
(f) (i) No FNB Benefit Plan is a Multiemployer Plan or a Multiple Employer Plan, (ii) none of FNB 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 FNB 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 FNB or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, other than such liabilities that arise solely out of, or relate solely to, the FNB Benefit Plans or the FNB Employment Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to FNBs knowledge, any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, has engaged in any transaction described in Sections 4069, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA.
(g) Other than as set forth in Section 4.11(g) of the FNB Disclosure Schedule, FNB 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 FNB and its Subsidiaries.
(h) Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions this Agreement contemplates 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 FNB 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, including deferred 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 additional tax under Section 409A of the Code.
(i) No labor organization or group of employees of FNB 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 FNBs knowledge, threatened to be brought or filed, with the National Labor Relations Board. Each of FNB and its Subsidiaries is in material compliance with all applicable Laws and collective bargaining agreements respecting employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours and occupational safety and health.
4.12 Compliance with Applicable Law.

Neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and since December 31, 2012, neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred, any liabilities or obligations, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, known or unknown, whether due or to become due, except (i) those liabilities fully accrued or reserved against in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of FNB and its Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 included in the FNB Reports, (ii) for liabilities and obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since March 31, 2013, (iii) for liabilities and obligations that are not material to FNB and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (iv) for any liabilities incurred with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a) FNB agrees to prepare and file, as soon as practicable, the Registration Statement with the SEC in connection with the issuance of FNB Common Stock in the Merger including the Proxy Statement and prospectus and other proxy solicitation materials of BCSB constituting a part thereof and all related documents. BCSB shall prepare and furnish to FNB such information relating to it and its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders as may be reasonably required in connection with the above referenced documents based on its knowledge of and access to the information required for said documents. BCSB and its legal, financial and accounting advisors, shall have the right to review in advance and approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, such Registration Statement prior to its filing. BCSB agrees to cooperate with FNB and FNBs counsel and accountants in requesting and obtaining appropriate opinions, consents and letters from its financial advisor and independent auditor in connection with the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement. As long as BCSB has cooperated as described above, FNB agrees to file, or cause to be filed, the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable. Each of BCSB and FNB agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. FNB also agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or Blue Sky permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions this Agreement contemplates. After the SEC has declared the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act, BCSB shall promptly mail at its expense the Proxy Statement to its shareholders.
(b) Each of BCSB and FNB agrees that none of the respective information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement shall, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Each of BCSB and FNB agrees that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Each of BCSB and FNB further agree that if such party shall become aware prior to the Effective Time of any information furnished by such party that would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed promptly with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated to the shareholders of BCSB.
(c) FNB agrees to advise BCSB, promptly after FNB receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or
amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of FNB Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or, to the extent FNB is aware thereof, 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.
(d) The parties shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties, Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities that are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions this Agreement contemplates, including the Merger, and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities. BCSB and FNB shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to BCSB or FNB, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party, Regulatory Agency or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties shall consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties, Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions this Agreement contemplates and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions this Agreement contemplates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require FNB to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, in connection with obtaining the foregoing permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of third parties, Regulatory Agencies or Governmental Entities, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on FNB, including the Surviving Company, after giving effect to the Merger, after the Effective Time (a Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition). In addition, BCSB agrees to cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to assist FNB in preparing and filing such petitions and filings, and in obtaining such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of third parties, Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities, that may be necessary or advisable to effect any mergers and/or consolidations of Subsidiaries of BCSB and FNB following consummation of the Merger.
(e) Each of FNB and BCSB shall, upon request, furnish to the other all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, the Registration Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of FNB, BCSB or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Regulatory Agency or Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(f) Each of FNB and BCSB shall promptly provide each other with any written communications received from any Regulatory Agency or Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will promptly advise the other
upon receiving any oral communication with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from any Regulatory Agency or Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions this Agreement contemplates that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval (as defined in Section 7.1(c)) will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval may be materially delayed.
(g) BCSB and FNB shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to the Merger or this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statements without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party, but after such consultation, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, issue such press release or make such public statements as may upon the advice of outside counsel be required by Law or the rules or regulations of the SEC, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, the OCC, the NYSE or NASDAQ. In addition, the Chief Executive Officers of BCSB and FNB shall be permitted to respond to appropriate questions about the Merger from the press. BCSB and FNB shall cooperate to develop all public announcement materials and make appropriate management available at presentations related to the Merger as reasonably requested by the other party.
6.2 Access to Information.
(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, each of BCSB and FNB shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of the other, reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records, and, during such period, the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, make available to the other party all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as the other party may reasonably request. BCSB shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide to FNB a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state banking laws other than reports or documents that such party is not permitted to disclose under applicable Law. Neither BCSB nor FNB nor any of their Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate the rights of such entitys customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of such party or its Subsidiaries or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply to the extent possible in light of those restrictions.
(b) All information and materials provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreements entered into between BCSB and FNB (the Confidentiality Agreements).
(c) No investigation by either of the parties or their respective representatives shall affect the representations and warranties of the other set forth in this Agreement.
6.3 BCSB Shareholder Approval. BCSB shall call a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the shareholder approval specified in Section 3.3(a) which is required in connection with this Agreement and the Merger (the BCSB Shareholders Meeting), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to convene such meeting as soon as reasonably practicable following the Registration Statement being declared effective, giving a reasonable amount of time for printing and mailing. Subject to Section 6.11, the Board of Directors of BCSB shall recommend approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions this Agreement contemplates, by BCSBs shareholders and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement (the BCSB Recommendation). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, BCSBs obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.3 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to BCSB of any Acquisition Proposal, as defined in Section 6.11(e)(i).
6.4 Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Cooperation. Each of BCSB and FNB agrees to exercise good faith and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to satisfy the various covenants and conditions to Closing in this Agreement, and to consummate the transactions this Agreement contemplates as promptly as possible.
6.5 NYSE Approval. FNB shall cause the shares of FNB Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time.
6.6 Benefit Plans.
(a) As soon as administratively practicable after the Effective Time, FNB shall take all reasonable action so that employees of BCSB and the BCSB Subsidiaries shall be entitled to participate in each FNB Benefit Plan of general applicability with the exception of FNBs defined benefit pension plan and any other plan frozen to new participants (collectively, the FNB Eligible Plans) to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of FNB and its Subsidiaries, it being understood that inclusion of the employees of BCSB and the BCSB Subsidiaries in the FNB Eligible Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans, provided that coverage shall be continued under corresponding BCSB Benefit Plans until such employees are permitted to participate in the FNB Eligible Plans and provided further, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall require FNB or any of its Subsidiaries to make any grants to any former employee of BCSB under any discretionary equity compensation plan of FNB or to provide the same level of (or any) employer contributions or other benefit subsidies as BCSB or the BCSB Subsidiaries. FNB shall cause each FNB Eligible Plan in which employees of BCSB and the BCSB Subsidiaries are eligible to participate, to recognize, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in, and vesting of, benefits under the FNB Eligible Plans, the service of such employees with BCSB and the BCSB Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by BCSB or the BCSB Subsidiaries, and, solely for purposes of FNBs vacation programs, for purposes of determining the benefit amount, provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Except for the commitment to continue those BCSB Benefit Plans that correspond to FNB Eligible Plans until employees of BCSB and the BCSB Subsidiaries are included in such FNB Eligible Plans, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the
ability of FNB to amend or terminate any of the BCSB Benefit Plans in accordance with and to the extent permitted by their terms at any time permitted by such terms.
At and following the Effective Time, and except as otherwise provided in Section 6.6(e) or as agreed to be amended or revised pursuant to the Executive Compensation proposals executed as of even date herewith, FNB shall honor, and the Surviving Company shall continue to be obligated to perform, in accordance with their terms, all benefit obligations to, and contractual rights of, current and former employees of BCSB and the BCSB Subsidiaries and current and former directors of BCSB and the BCSB Subsidiaries existing as of the Effective Date under any BCSB Benefit Plan. Any years of service recognized for purposes of this Section 6.6(a) will be taken into account under the terms of any generally applicable severance policy of FNB or its Subsidiaries.
Employees of BCSB and the BCSB Subsidiaries (other than those who are parties to an employment, change of control or other type of agreement with BCSB and the BCSB subsidiaries which provides for severance) as of the date of the Agreement who remain employed by BCSB and the BCSB subsidiaries as of the Effective Time and whose employment is terminated by BCSB and the BCSB subsidiaries or FNB (absent termination for cause as determined by the employer) within one year after the Effective Time shall receive severance pay under any severance pay plans that may be in effect at such time at FNB, provided that any such severance pay shall be no less than such severance pay as is provided for under FNBs severance pay plan as is in effect on the date hereof.
(b) At such time as employees of BCSB and the BCSB Subsidiaries become eligible to participate in a medical, dental or health plan of FNB or its Subsidiaries, FNB shall, to the extent reasonably practicable and available from its insurers, cause each such plan to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the applicable medical, health or dental plans of FNB and (ii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to such employee or dependent on or after the Effective Time to the extent such employee or dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous BCSB Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time.
(c) BCSB shall adopt such Board resolutions and take such other action as FNB may reasonably request to cause the Baltimore County Savings Bank Employee Savings Plan 401(k) Plan (the Plan) to be terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time (the Plan Termination Date) and the accounts of all participants and beneficiaries in the Plan as of the Plan Termination Date to become fully vested as of the Plan Termination Date. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than one year after the Plan Termination Date, FNB shall file or cause to be filed all necessary documents with the IRS for a determination letter that the termination of the Plan as of the Plan Termination Date will not adversely affect the Plans qualified status. FNB shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such favorable determination letter; including, but not limited to, adopting such amendments to the Plan as may be requested by the IRS as a condition to its issuance of a favorable determination letter. As soon as practicable following the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding the qualified status of the Plan upon its termination, the account balances in the Plan shall be distributed to participants and beneficiaries or transferred to an
eligible tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary may direct. The Surviving Company shall take all other actions necessary to complete the termination of the Plan, including filing a Final Form 5500, that arise after the Effective Time. FNB agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to permit Plan participants who become employees of FNB or its Subsidiaries to roll over their account balances in the Plan and loans from the Plan to the F.N.B. Corporation Progress Savings 401(k) Plan. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.6(a) to the contrary, employees of BCSB or any BCSB Subsidiary who continue in employment with the Surviving Company following the Effective Time shall be eligible as of the Effective Time to participate in the F.N.B. Corporation Progress Savings 401(k) Plan.
(d) BCSB and BCSB Bank shall, effective no later than immediately prior to, and contingent upon the Closing, adopt such resolutions and or amendments to the ESOP, the ESOP trust or the ESOP Loan documents (if any) (and take any other required action) to (i) direct the ESOP trustee(s) to sell or otherwise dispose of shares of BCSB Common Stock held in the ESOPs Loan Suspense Account (as defined in the ESOP) and use the proceeds of such sale to repay any outstanding ESOP Loans, (ii) provide for treatment of the shares of BCSB Common Stock held in the ESOP trust in accordance with Article 1 of this Agreement, (iii) terminate the ESOP in accordance with its terms and the provisions of this Section 6.6(d), effective as of the Effective Time, and (iv) provide that no new participants shall be admitted to the ESOP after the Closing. The accounts of all participants and beneficiaries in the ESOP as of the Effective Time shall become fully vested as of the Effective Time. Any unallocated shares of BCSB Common Stock held in the ESOP after repayment of the ESOP Loans shall be converted into Merger Consideration and shall be allocated as earnings to the accounts of ESOP participants who have account balances in the ESOP as of the Effective Time based on their account balances under the ESOP as of the Effective Time. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, FNB shall file or cause to be filed all necessary documents with the IRS for a determination letter for termination of the ESOP. As soon as practicable following the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding the qualified status of the ESOP upon its termination, the account balances in the ESOP shall either be distributed to participants and beneficiaries or transferred to an eligible tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary may direct, except that, to the extent provided by the ESOP, ESOP participants whose employment is terminated by FNB may elect to receive their ESOP account balance prior to the receipt of the IRS determination letter but following their termination of employment. FNB agrees to permit ESOP participants who become employees of FNB or its Subsidiaries to roll over their account balances in the ESOP to the F.N.B. Corporation Progress Savings 401(k) Plan.
(e) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, BCSB shall, at the written request of FNB, freeze or terminate each other BCSB Benefit Plan as is requested by FNB.
(f) BCSB shall take such action, and provide any required notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to cause any Person presently serving as a trustee or administrator to any BCSB Benefit Plan to be removed effective as of the Effective Time and to appoint First National Trust Company, or such other FNB Subsidiary or committee as FNB shall specify, to serve as successor trustee or administrator to such removed individual trustees or administrators effective as of the Effective Time.
6.7 Indemnification; Directors and Officers Insurance.
(a) In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (each a Claim) in which any individual who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of BCSB or any of the BCSB Subsidiaries or who is or was serving at the request of BCSB or any of the BCSB Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent, member or otherwise of another Person or in any capacity with respect to any BCSB Benefit Plan (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 or officer of BCSB or any of the BCSB Subsidiaries or was serving at the request of the BCSB or any of the BCSB Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent, member or otherwise of another Person or in any capacity with respect to any BCSB Benefit Plan or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions this Agreement contemplates, whether asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time, the parties shall cooperate and use their best efforts to defend against such Claim and respond thereto. From and after the Effective Time, but subject to subsection (b) below, FNB shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent currently provided under applicable Law, the BCSB Charter and the BCSB Bylaws, each such Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, including reimbursement for reasonable fees and expenses, including fees and expenses of legal counsel, incurred in advance of the final disposition of any Claim upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable Law, and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual Claim.
(b) FNB and the Surviving Company agree that all rights to indemnification of liabilities, including advancement of expenses, and all limitations with respect thereto, existing in favor of any Indemnified Person, as provided under Section 6.7(a), shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect, without any amendment thereto; provided, however, that for Claims asserted or made after the Effective Time, any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnified Persons conduct complies with the standards set forth under the MGCL, the BCSB Charter or the BCSB Bylaws, as the case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel, whose fees and expenses shall be paid by FNB and the Surviving Company, selected by such Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to FNB; and, provided further that nothing in this Section 6.7 shall impair any rights or obligations of any current or former director or officer of BCSB or its Subsidiaries, including pursuant to the respective organizational documents of BCSB, or their respective Subsidiaries, under the MGCL or otherwise.
(c) Prior to the Effective Time, FNB shall obtain at the expense of BCSB, and FNB shall maintain for a period of six years following the Effective Time, directors and officers liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions this Agreement contemplates, covering the Indemnified Persons who as of the Effective Time are covered by BCSBs directors and officers liability insurance or fiduciary liability insurance policies, provided that FNB may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous than such policies of BCSB or
single premium tail coverage with policy limits equal to BCSBs existing coverage limits, provided that in no event shall FNB be required to expend for any one year an amount in excess of 150% of the annual premium currently paid by BCSB for such insurance (the Insurance Amount), and further provided that if FNB is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 6.7(c) as a result of the preceding provision, FNB shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the most advantageous coverage as is available for the maximum Insurance Amount. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time from an insurer or insurers selected by FNB that have an insurer financial strength rating by A.M. Best Co. of at least A, which policies provide the Indemnified Persons with coverage, from the Effective Time to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, including in respect of the transactions this Agreement contemplates, on terms that are no less advantageous to Indemnified Persons than BCSBs D&O Insurance existing immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, then FNB shall maintain such policies in full force and effect and continue the obligations thereunder.
(d) The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives. If FNB or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of FNB shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.
6.8 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, including any merger between a Subsidiary of FNB, on the one hand, and a Subsidiary of BCSB, on the other hand, or to vest the Surviving Company with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of either party to the Merger, the proper officers and directors of each party and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, FNB.
6.9 Advice of Changes. Each of FNB and BCSB shall promptly advise the other of any change or event (i) having or reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on it or (ii) that it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties, or remedies with respect thereto, or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement; provided, further, that a failure to comply with this Section 6.9 shall not constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Article VII to be satisfied unless the underlying Material Adverse Effect or material breach would independently result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article VII to be satisfied.
6.10 Dividends. After the date of this Agreement, BCSB shall not declare or pay any dividend in respect of shares of BCSB Common Stock.
6.11 Certain Actions.
(a) From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, except as otherwise permitted by this Section 6.11, BCSB will not, and will not authorize or permit any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, advisors, agents, affiliates or representatives (collectively, BCSB Representatives) to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, encourage or take any action to facilitate, including by way of furnishing information, any Acquisition Proposal, as defined in Section 6.11(e)(i), or any inquiries with respect to or the making of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any information relating to BCSB or any of the BCSB Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of BCSB or any of the BCSB Subsidiaries, to otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by any third party that is seeking to make, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) except in accordance with Section 8.1(g), approve, endorse or recommend or enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract, agreement or commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, BCSB and its Board of Directors shall be permitted (i) to comply with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal provided that the Board of Directors of BCSB shall not withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to FNB the BCSB Recommendation except as set forth in subsection (iii) below, (ii) to engage in any discussions or negotiations with, and provide any information to, and afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of BCSB or any of the BCSB Subsidiaries to, any third party in response to a Superior Proposal, as defined in Section 6.11(e)(ii), by any such third party, if and only to the extent that (x) BCSBs Board of Directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to do so would be reasonably expected to result in a breach of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (y) prior to providing any information or data to any third party in connection with a Superior Proposal by any such third party, BCSBs Board of Directors receives from such third party an executed confidentiality agreement, which confidentiality terms shall be no less favorable to BCSB than those contained in the confidentiality agreement between BCSB and FNB dated as of April 6, 2013, a copy of which executed confidentiality agreement shall have been provided to FNB for informational purposes, and (z) at least one business day prior to providing any information or data to any third party or entering into discussions or negotiations with any third party, BCSB has notified FNB in writing of the name of such third party and the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal, and (iii) to withdraw, modify, qualify in a manner adverse to FNB, condition or refuse to make the BCSB Recommendation (the Change in BCSB Recommendation) if BCSBs Board of Directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and financial advisors, that failure to do so would reasonably be expected to breach their fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Notwithstanding any Change in BCSB Recommendation, this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of BCSB at the BCSB Shareholders Meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval of this Agreement and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve BCSB of such obligation; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors of BCSB shall have effected a Change in BCSB Recommendation, then the Board of Directors of BCSB may submit this Agreement to BCSBs shareholders without recommendation (although the resolutions adopting this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded), in which event the Board of Directors of BCSB may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to BCSBs shareholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto
to the extent required by applicable Law. In addition to the foregoing, BCSB shall not submit to the vote of its shareholders any Acquisition Proposal other than the Merger prior to the termination of this Agreement.

VOTING AGREEMENT
June 13, 2013
F.N.B. Corporation
One F.N.B. Boulevard
Hermitage, PA 16148
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Concurrently with the execution of this letter agreement (Voting Agreement), F.N.B. Corporation, a Florida corporation (FNB), and BCSB Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (BCSB), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, of even date herewith (the Merger Agreement), whereby BCSB will merge with and into FNB (the Merger) and shareholders of BCSB will receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in the Merger Agreement, subject to the closing of the Merger. All defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.
A condition to FNBs obligations under the Merger Agreement is that I execute and deliver this Voting Agreement to FNB.
Intending to be legally bound hereby, I irrevocably agree and represent as follows:
(a) As of the date of this Voting Agreement, I have, and at all times during the term of this Voting Agreement will have, beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of, and good and valid title to, the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of BCSB (the BCSB Common Stock), that is set forth on Appendix A hereto, and I hold stock options to acquire the number of shares of BCSB Common Stock set forth on Appendix A hereto. All of the securities listed on Appendix A are owned free and clear of any proxy or voting restriction, claims, liens, encumbrances and security interests and any other limitation or restriction whatsoever (including any restriction on the right to dispose of such securities). None of the securities listed on Appendix A are subject to any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting rights of such securities.
(b) As of the date of this Voting Agreement, except for the securities set forth on Appendix A, I do not beneficially own any (i) shares of capital stock or voting securities of BCSB, (ii) securities of BCSB convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or voting securities of BCSB or (iii) options or other rights to acquire from BCSB any capital stock, voting securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock or voting securities of BCSB. The BCSB Common Stock listed on Appendix A, together with all BCSB Common Stock that I subsequently acquire during the term of this Voting Agreement, including through the exercise of any stock options, warrants or similar instruments, are referred to herein as the Shares.
(c) At the BCSB Shareholders Meeting and at any other meeting of BCSB shareholders, however called, and on every action or approval by written consent of shareholders of BCSB, I will vote or cause to be voted all Shares over which I have sole voting power, and I
will use reasonable efforts to cause any Shares over which I share voting power to be voted in favor of (i) approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement. Determinations as to sole or shared voting power shall be made in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act.
(d) During the term of this Voting Agreement, I will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of (collectively, Transfer) any Shares over which I have sole dispositive power (or any interest therein), and I will use reasonable efforts to not permit the Transfer of any Shares over which I have shared dispositive power (or any interest therein), except to the extent permitted by paragraph (g) hereof.
(e) I agree that BCSB shall not be bound by any attempted sale of any BCSB Common Stock over which I have sole voting and dispositive power, and BCSBs transfer agent shall be given appropriate stop transfer orders and shall not be required to register any such attempted sale, unless the sale has been effected in compliance with the terms of this Voting Agreement.
(f) I represent that I have the legal capacity to enter into this Voting Agreement, that I have duly and validly executed and delivered this Voting Agreement and that this Voting Agreement is a valid and binding obligation enforceable against me in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors rights and general equitable principles; and further, that no consent of my spouse is necessary under any community property or other laws in order for me to enter into and perform my obligations under this Voting Agreement.
(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, I may Transfer any or all of the Shares over which I have beneficial ownership: (a) to my spouse, ancestors or descendants; provided, however, that in any such case, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer, each person to which any of such Shares or any interest in any of such Shares is or may be Transferred shall have executed and delivered to FNB an agreement to be bound by the terms of this Voting Agreement; (b) transfers for estate and trust planning and related tax planning purposes, including transfers to relatives, trusts, foundations and charitable organizations, subject to the transferee first agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of this Voting Agreement; (c) transfers by will or operation of law; and (d) such transfers as FNB may otherwise permit in its sole discretion.
I am signing this Voting Agreement solely in my capacity as a shareholder of BCSB and as an optionholder and/or warrantholder, if I am such, and not in any other capacity, such as a director or officer of BCSB or as a fiduciary of any trusts in which I am not a beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) I make no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in my capacity as a beneficial owner of BCSB Common Stock and (b) nothing herein shall be construed to limit, prevent or otherwise affect any action or inaction by me or any of my representatives, as applicable, in serving on BCSBs Board of Directors or as an officer of BCSB, in acting in my capacity as a director, officer or fiduciary of BCSB or in exercising my fiduciary obligations in the context of a Superior Proposal.
This Voting Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect concurrently with, and automatically upon, the earlier to occur of (a) the favorable vote of the BCSB
shareholders with respect to the approval of the Merger Agreement, (b) the Effective Time, (c) FNB and I enter into a written agreement to terminate this Voting Agreement, or (d) any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, except that any such termination shall be without prejudice to FNBs rights if termination should arise out of my willful breach of any covenant or representation contained herein.
All notices and other communications in connection with this Voting Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, sent via facsimile, with confirmation, mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or delivered by an express courier, with confirmation, to the other party hereto at its addresses set forth on the signature page hereto.
This Voting Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties. This Voting Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Voting Agreement. My obligations under this Voting Agreement shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.
I agree and acknowledge that FNB may be irreparably harmed by, and that there may be no adequate remedy at law for, any violation of this Voting Agreement by me. Without limiting other remedies, FNB shall have the right to seek to enforce this Voting Agreement by specific performance or injunctive relief. This Voting Agreement and all claims arising hereunder or relating hereto, shall be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Voting Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Voting Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Voting Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
This Voting Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
