The shares of Peoples Common Stock payable pursuant to this Section 1.02(g)(i) are sometimes referred to herein as the “Stock Consideration” and together with the Additional Consideration (as defined below) are sometimes referred to as the “Merger Consideration.”

(ii) Each share of Penseco Common Stock which is either issued and held in treasury of Penseco or by any Penseco Subsidiary or issued and held by Peoples or its Subsidiaries (other than shares of Penseco Common Stock held in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like or otherwise held in fiduciary or agency capacity, that are beneficially owned by third parties (such shares. “Trust Account Common Shares”) and other than shares of Penseco Common Stock held, directly or indirectly, by Penseco or Peoples in respect of a debt preciously contracted (such shares, the “DPC Common Shares”)) as of the Effective Time, if any, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no stock of Peoples or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefore.

(iii) No fraction of a whole share of Peoples Common Stock and no scrip or certificates therefor shall be issued in connection with the Merger. Any former holder of Penseco Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Peoples Common Stock shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash in an amount equal to such fraction of a share multiplied by the Peoples Market Share Price as of the Effective Time. For purposes of determining any fractional share interest, all shares of Penseco Common Stock owned by a Penseco Shareholder shall be combined so as to calculate the maximum number of whole shares of Peoples Common Stock issuable to such Penseco Shareholders.

(iv) Each share of Peoples Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger.

(v) Each outstanding share of Peoples or Penseco Common Stock the holder of which has perfected his right to dissent under the BCL, if applicable, and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right as of the Effective Time shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive, or shall remain, shares of Peoples Common Stock hereunder, respectively, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the BCL. Each share of Peoples Common Stock issued and held in the treasury of Peoples immediately prior to the Effective Time shall on and after the Effective Time, continue to be issued and held in the treasury of Peoples. The parties shall give each other prompt notice upon receipt of any such written demands for payment of the fair value of such shares of Peoples or Penseco Common Stock, respectively (“Dissenting Shares”) and of withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments provided pursuant to the BCL (any shareholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”). If any Dissenting Shareholder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his right to such payment at any time, such holder’s shares of Penseco Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive Peoples Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.02(g)(i) of this Agreement or such holder’s shares of Peoples Common Stock shall remain shares of Peoples Common Stock. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by Peoples, as the continuing corporation after the Merger.

(h) Surrender and Exchange of Penseco Stock Certificates.

(i) Exchange Agent. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof and, in any event, prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, the parties shall designate a mutually acceptable bank or trust company or other agent which shall act as agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for Peoples and the Surviving Corporation in connection with the exchange procedures for converting shares of Penseco Common Stock evidenced by stock certificates into the Merger Consideration. Upon such selection, Peoples shall enter into an agreement with the Exchange Agent in form and substance reasonable acceptable to the parties hereto setting forth the terms and conditions upon which the Exchange Agent will render the exchange services to Peoples and the Surviving Corporation (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”).

(ii) Deposit of Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Peoples shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (i) certificates representing the number of shares of Peoples Common Stock sufficient to deliver, and Peoples shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely deliver, the aggregate Stock Consideration issuable to the holders of Penseco Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) to the extent then determinable, any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.02(g)(iii) (the “Additional Consideration,” and collectively with the Stock Consideration, the “Exchange Fund”) and Peoples shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay the Additional Consideration in accordance with this Agreement.

(iii) Letter of Transmittal. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a stock certificate, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Penseco Common Stock, whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.02(g), a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the stock certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of stock certificate(s) (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such certificates) to the Exchange Agent and shall be substantially in such form and have such other provisions as shall be prescribed by the Exchange Agent Agreement) (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering stock certificate(s) in exchange for the Merger Consideration to be issued and paid in consideration therefor and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.02(h)(v).

(iv) Surrender of Stock Certificates. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of its stock certificate(s), accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, a holder of Penseco Common Stock will be entitled to receive promptly after the Effective Time the Merger Consideration (with the Cash Consideration, if any, paid to each such holder rounded to the nearest whole cent). Until so surrendered, each such stock certificate shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be issued and paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such stock certificate in accordance with, and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to, this Section 1.02(h)(iv).

(v) Dividends. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Peoples Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered stock certificate with respect to the shares of Peoples Common Stock represented thereby, in each case until the surrender of such stock certificate in accordance with Section 1.02(h)(iv). Subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such stock certificate in accordance with Section 1.02(h)(iv), the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the whole shares of Peoples Common Stock represented by such stock certificate and not paid and/or (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to shares of Peoples Common Stock represented by such stock certificate with a record date after the Effective Time (but before such surrender date) and with a payment date subsequent to the issuance of the Peoples Common Stock issuable with respect to such stock certificate.

(vi) Transfer of Penseco Common Stock. In the event of a transfer of ownership of a stock certificate representing Penseco Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of Penseco, the proper amount of Merger Consideration shall be paid or issued in exchange therefor to a person other than the person in whose name the stock certificate so surrendered is registered if the stock certificate formerly representing such Penseco Common Stock shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment or issuance shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment or issuance to a person other than the registered holder of the stock certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Peoples that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(vii) No Transfers After the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Penseco of the shares of Penseco Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of Penseco Common Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, stock certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration to be issued or paid in consideration therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.02(h).

(viii) Treatment of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Penseco as of the first anniversary of the Effective Time may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be paid to Peoples. In such event, any former shareholders of Penseco who have not theretofore complied with this Section 1.02(h) shall thereafter look only to Peoples with respect to the Merger Consideration and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Peoples Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of Penseco Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Peoples, Peoples Bank, Penseco, Penn Security, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Penseco Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(ix) Lost Stock Certificates. In the event any stock certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such stock certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Peoples or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Peoples may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such stock certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) Anti-Dilution Provisions. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Peoples Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio.

(j) Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC, and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g).

Financials, (iv) statutory liens for amounts not yet delinquent or which are being contested in good faith, and (v) the items disclosed in Section 2.09 of the Penseco Disclosure Schedule (collectively the “Penseco Permitted Encumbrances”).

Except as disclosed in Section 2.09 of the Penseco Disclosure Schedule, such existing leases and commitments to lease constitute or will constitute operating leases for both tax and financial accounting purposes and the lease expense and minimum rental commitments with respect to such leases and lease commitments are as disclosed in the notes to the Penseco Financials.

There are presently no material claims pending under such policies of insurance and no notices have been given by Penseco or Penn Security under such policies. All such insurance is valid and enforceable and in full force and effect, and within the last ten (10) years Penseco has received each type of insurance coverage for which it has applied and during such periods has not been denied indemnification for any material claims submitted under any of its insurance policies.

(c) Except as set forth on Section 2.11 of the Penseco Disclosure Schedule, neither Penseco nor any Penseco Subsidiary has received any notification or communication from any Governmental Entity: (i) asserting that Penseco or any Penseco Subsidiary is not in compliance with any of the statutes, regulations or ordinances which such Governmental Entity enforces; (ii) threatening to revoke any license, franchise, permit or governmental authorization which is material to Penseco or any Penseco Subsidiary; (iii) requiring or threatening to require Penseco or any Penseco Subsidiary, or indicating that Penseco or any Penseco Subsidiary may be required, to enter into a cease and desist order, agreement or memorandum of understanding or any other agreement restricting or limiting, or purporting to restrict or limit, in any manner the operations of Penseco or any Penseco Subsidiary, including without limitation any restriction on the payment of dividends; or (iv) directing, restricting or limiting, or purporting to direct, restrict or limit, in any manner the operations of Penseco or any Penseco Subsidiary, including without limitation any restriction on the payment of dividends (any such notice, communication, memorandum, agreement or order described in this sentence is hereinafter referred to as a “Regulatory Agreement”). Neither Penseco nor any Penseco Subsidiary has consented to or entered into any Regulatory Agreement, except as heretofore disclosed in the Penseco Financials or in Section 2.11 of the Penseco Disclosure Schedule.

Section 2.12 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) Penseco has previously made available to Peoples true and complete copies of all employee pension benefit plans which Penseco or Penn Security or any of their ERISA Affiliates currently maintains within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(3), including profit sharing plans; stock purchase plans; stock ownership plans; stock option plans; phantom stock plans; deferred compensation; supplemental income plans; supplemental executive retirement plans; termination agreements; employment agreements; annual, long term or other incentive plans; severance plans; policies and agreements; group insurance plans; vacation pay; sick leave; life insurance; retiree life insurance plans; short-term disability; long-term disability, and medical plans or arrangements; and all other benefit plans, policies, agreements and arrangements, all of which are set forth in Section 2.12 of the Penseco Disclosure Schedule, maintained or contributed to for the benefit of the employees, former employees (including retired employees), former directors of Penseco or any Penseco Subsidiary and any beneficiaries thereof or other person, or with

respect to which Penseco, Penn Security or any of their ERISA Affiliates has or may have any obligation or liability, whether actual or contingent (the “Penseco Benefit Plans”), together with (i) the most recent actuarial (if any) and financial reports relating to those plans which constitute “qualified plans” under IRC Section 401(a), (ii) the most recent annual reports relating to such plans filed by them, respectively, with any government agency, (iii) all rulings and determination letters which pertain to any such plans, (iv) all contracts currently in force with third party administrators, actuaries, investment managers and other service providers to such plans, and (v) the non-discrimination testing results for the three (3) most recent plan years. Neither Penseco, any Penseco Subsidiary nor any pension plan maintained by Penseco or any Penseco Subsidiary, has incurred, directly or indirectly, within the past six (6) years any liability under Title IV of ERISA (including to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation) or to the IRS with respect to any pension plan qualified under IRC Section 401(a) which liability has resulted in or is reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Penseco, except liabilities to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation pursuant to ERISA Section 4007, all of which have been fully paid, nor has any reportable event under ERISA Section 4043 occurred with respect to any such pension plan. Except as set forth in Section 2.12 of the Penseco Disclosure Schedule, with respect to each of such plans that is subject to Title IV of ERISA, the fair market value of the assets under such plan exceeds the present value of the accrued benefits liability as of the end of the most recent plan year with respect to such plan calculated on the basis of the actuarial assumptions used in the most recent actuarial valuation for such plan. Neither Penseco nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred or is subject to any liability under ERISA Section 4201 for a complete or partial withdrawal from a multiemployer plan. All Penseco Benefit Plans that are “employee benefit plans,” as defined in ERISA Section 3(3), comply and within the past six (6) years have complied in all material respects with (i) relevant provisions of ERISA and (ii) in the case of plans intended to qualify for favorable income tax treatment, provisions of the IRC. To the Knowledge of Penseco, no prohibited transaction (which shall mean any transaction prohibited by ERISA Section 406 and not exempt under ERISA Section 408 or any transaction prohibited under IRC Section 4975) has occurred within the past six (6) years with respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Penseco or any of its ERISA Affiliates which would result in the imposition, directly or indirectly, of an excise tax under IRC Section 4975 or other penalty under ERISA or the IRC, which, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in or is reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Penseco. Penseco and the Penseco Subsidiaries provide continuation coverage under group health plans for separating employees and “qualified beneficiaries” of covered employees (as defined in IRC Section 4980B(g)) in accordance with the provisions of IRC Section 4980B(f). There are no current or pending or, to the Knowledge of Penseco, threatened audits or investigations by any governmental entity involving any Penseco Benefit Plan, and there are no current or pending or, to the Knowledge of Penseco, threatened claims (except for individual claims for benefits payable in the ordinary course of operation of the Penseco Benefit Plans), suits or proceedings involving any Penseco Benefit Plan and, to the Knowledge of Penseco, no set of circumstances exists which may reasonably be expected to give rise to any such audits, investigations, claims, suits or proceedings.

(b) Penseco has not contributed to any “multiemployer plan” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA.

(c) All contributions required to be made under the terms of any Penseco Benefit Plan have been timely made and all anticipated contributions and binding obligations are accrued monthly on Penseco’s consolidated financial statements to the extent required and in accordance with GAAP. Penseco has expensed and accrued as a liability the present value of future benefits in accordance with applicable laws and GAAP. Neither any pension plan nor any single-employer plan of Penseco nor an ERISA Affiliate has an “accumulated funding deficiency,” whether or not waived, within the meaning of Section 412 of the IRC or Section 302 of ERISA and neither Penseco nor an ERISA Affiliate has an outstanding funding waiver. There is not currently pending with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation any filing with respect to any reportable event under Section 4043 of ERISA nor has any reportable event occurred as to which a filing is required and has not been made (other than as might be required with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby) with respect to any plan subject to Title IV of ERISA and to which Penseco or any of its ERISA Affiliates has any liability. Penseco has not provided nor is required to provide security to any plan maintained by Penseco or any of its ERISA Affiliates to which the requirements of Section 412 of the IRC apply pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the IRC.

(d) Except as set forth in Section 2.12 of the Penseco Disclosure Schedule, none of the execution of this Agreement, shareholder approval of this Agreement or consummation of the Transaction will, except as set forth in Section 2.12 of the Penseco Disclosure Schedule, (i) entitle any employee, consultant or director of Penseco to severance pay or any increase in severance pay upon any termination of employment after the date hereof, (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting or trigger any payment or funding, through a grantor trust or otherwise, of compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant to, any of the Penseco Benefit Plans, (iii) result in any breach or violation of, or a default under, any of the Penseco Benefit Plans or (iv) result in any payment that would be a “parachute payment” to a “disqualified individual” as those terms are defined in Section 280G of the IRC, without regard to whether such payment is reasonable compensation for personal services performed or to be performed in the future.

(e) All required reports and descriptions, including but not limited to Form 5500 annual reports and required attachments, Forms 1099-R, summary annual reports, Forms PBGC-1 and summary plan descriptions, have been filed or distributed appropriately with respect to each Penseco Benefit Plan. All required tax filings with respect to each Penseco Benefit Plan have been made, and any taxes due in connection with such filings have been paid.

(f) Penseco does not maintain any Penseco Benefit Plan or other compensation program or arrangement under which payment is reasonably likely to become non-deductible, in whole or in part, for tax reporting purposes as a result of the limitations under Section 162(m) of the IRC and the regulations issued thereunder.

(g) Each Penseco Benefit Plan that constitutes a “non-qualified deferred compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the IRC complies in both form and operation with the requirements of Section 409A of the IRC.

2.13 Labor Matters. Penseco is not a party to nor is bound by any collective bargaining agreement, contract or other agreement or understanding with a labor union or labor organization, nor is Penseco the subject of a proceeding asserting that it has committed an unfair labor practice within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act or seeking to compel Penseco to bargain with any labor organization as to wages or conditions of employment, nor is there any strike or other labor dispute involving it, pending or, to the Knowledge of Penseco, threatened, nor is Penseco aware of any activity involving its employees seeking to certify a collective bargaining unit or engaging in other organizational activity.

Except for Penseco’s engagement of Cedar Hill Advisors, LLC and Xxxxxxx Financial Group, LLC in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, neither Penseco nor any Penseco Subsidiary, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, has employed any broker, finder or financial advisor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or, except for its commitments disclosed in Section 2.14 of the Penseco Disclosure Schedule, incurred any liability or commitment for any fees or commissions to any such person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which has not been reflected in the Penseco Financials.

This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing authorized by the respective boards of directors and signed, by duly authorized officers, on behalf of the parties hereto. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party, but such waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

PENSECO LETTER AGREEMENT

June 28, 2013

Peoples Financial Services Corp.

00 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx

XX Xxx X

Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Peoples Financial Services Corp. (“Peoples”) and Penseco Financial Services Corporation (“Penseco”) are entering into concurrently herewith an Agreement and Plan of Merger to be dated as of June 28, 2013 (the “Agreement”).

Pursuant to the proposed Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein: (a) Penseco will merge with and into Peoples, with Peoples surviving the merger (the “Merger”); and (b) shareholders of Penseco will receive shares of Peoples common stock in exchange for their shares of Penseco common stock owned on the closing date, plus cash in lieu of fractional share interests.

I understand that Peoples is requiring, as a condition to its execution and delivery to Penseco of the Agreement, that I execute and deliver to Peoples this Letter Agreement.

Intending to be legally bound hereby, I irrevocably agree and represent as follows:

1. I agree to be present (in person or by proxy) at all meetings of shareholders of Penseco called to vote for approval of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, so that all shares of Penseco common stock over which I have or exercise sole or shared voting power, including those held in a voting trust, individually or, to the extent of my proportionate interest, jointly with other persons, but excluding any shares for which I act as a fiduciary, other than those which are held in individual retirement accounts for my own benefit (collectively, my “Covered Shares”) will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings.

2. I agree to vote, or cause to be voted, (a) for approval and adoption of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (b) against any action that is intended, or could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, or adversely affect the transaction contemplated in the Agreement, all Covered Shares over which I exercise sole voting power, and I will use my reasonable efforts to cause all Covered Shares over which I share voting power, including those held in a voting trust jointly with other persons, to be voted for in the same manner.

3. I hereby revoke any and all previous proxies granted with respect to the Covered Shares and grant to the proxy holder designated by Peoples a proxy to vote the Covered Shares as indicated in paragraph 1 above, which proxy will be irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and I agree to take such further actions and execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy, provided that this proxy will expire automatically and without further action upon termination of this Letter Agreement.

4. Through the earlier of (a) the receipt of the requisite approval of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the shareholders of Penseco, and (b) termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms, I agree not to offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Covered Shares; provided, however, that I may make a bona fide gift of shares or transfer of shares for estate planning or similar purposes prior to that date as long as the recipient agrees to vote such shares for approval and adoption of the Agreement and agrees, in writing, to be bound by all the terms hereof as if an original signatory hereto.

5. I hereby represent that I own of record or beneficially, good and valid title to the Covered Shares free and clear of any and all mortgages, liens, encumbrances, charges, claims, restrictions, pledges, security interests, voting trusts or agreements, or impositions, except as expressly disclosed herein.

6. Peoples recognizes that, with respect to any Covered Shares which have been pledged to a third party (as specifically identified below), I may not be able to control the voting or disposition of such shares if contrary to the terms of such pledge, and that any act or failure to act on my part which is required by such pledge shall not be deemed a violation hereof.

7. For three (3) years after the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement), provided I am a member of the Peoples board of directors, I agree to vote or cause to be voted my Covered Shares for the nominees whom the board of directors of Peoples recommends for election to the board of directors of Peoples.

8. I represent that I have the capacity to enter into this Letter Agreement and that it 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.

9. Irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Letter Agreement are not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and therefore Peoples shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity to which it may be entitled.

The agreements contained in this Letter Agreement shall apply to me solely in my capacity as a shareholder of Penseco, and no agreement contained in this Letter Agreement shall

apply to me in my capacity as a director, officer or employee of Penseco or in any other fiduciary capacity, other than as a fiduciary of a trust of which I am a beneficiary. In addition, nothing contained in this Letter Agreement shall be deemed to apply to, or limit in any manner, my obligations to comply with my fiduciary duties as an officer or director, as applicable, of Penseco.

This Letter Agreement shall be effective upon acceptance by Peoples. Nothing herein shall be deemed to vest in Peoples any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any shares of common stock of Penseco.

Except for paragraph 7, which shall survive for three (3) years after the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement), this Letter Agreement shall terminate concurrently with, and be of no further force and effect concurrently with, and automatically upon the earlier to occur of (a) the consummation of the Merger, and (b) any termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms, except that any such termination shall be without prejudice to Peoples’ rights arising out of any willful breach of any covenant or representation contained herein.

Article 3

QUORUM OF SHAREHOLDERS

Section 3.1 The presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast on the particular matter shall constitute a quorum for purposes of considering such matter, and unless otherwise provided by statute the acts of such shareholders at a duly organized meeting shall be the acts of the shareholders. If, however, any meeting of shareholders cannot be organized because of lack of a quorum, those present, in person or by proxy, shall have the power, except as otherwise provided by statute, to adjourn the meeting to such time and place as they may determine, without notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until the requisite number of shareholders for a quorum shall be present, in person or by proxy. In the case of any meeting called for the election of directors, such meeting may be adjourned only for periods not exceeding fifteen (15) days as the holders of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy, shall direct, and those who attend the second of such adjourned meetings, although less than a quorum, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing directors. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or so represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting if a quorum had been present. The shareholders present, in person or by proxy, at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.

A proxy, unless coupled with an interest, shall be revocable at will, notwithstanding any other agreement or any provision in the proxy to the contrary, but the revocation of a proxy shall not be effective until notice thereof has been given to the Secretary of the Bank. No unrevoked proxy shall be valid after eleven (11) months from the date of its execution, unless a longer time is expressly provided therein, but in no event shall a proxy, unless coupled with an interest, be voted after three (3) years from the date of its execution. A proxy shall not be revoked by the death or incapacity of the maker, unless before the vote is counted or the authority is exercised, written notice of such death or incapacity is given to the Secretary of the Bank.

In such case, only such shareholders as shall be shareholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to notice of, or to vote at, such meeting or to receive payment of such dividend or to receive such allotment of rights or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Bank after any record date fixed as aforesaid. The Board of Directors may close the books of the Bank against transfers of shares during the whole or any part of such period, and in such case written or printed notice thereof shall be mailed at least ten (10) days before closing thereof to each shareholder of record at the address appearing on the records of the Bank or supplied by him to the Bank for the purpose of notice.

The judges of election shall do all such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote, and such other duties as may be prescribed by statute, with fairness to all shareholders, and if requested by the Chairman of the meeting, or any shareholder or his proxy, shall make a written report of any matter determined by them and execute a certificate of any fact found by them. If there are three (3) judges of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority shall be the decision, act or certificate of all.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Bank, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 23.2 The Bank shall indemnify any officer and/or employee, who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or who is called as a witness in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Bank to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was at the request of the Bank a director, officer, and/or employee or agent of a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of, or serving as a witness in, such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Bank and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any such claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Bank.

Section 23.3 Except as may be otherwise ordered by a court, there shall be a presumption that any officer and/or employee is entitled to indemnification as provided in Sections 23.1 and 23.2 of this Article unless either a majority of the directors who are not involved in such proceedings (“disinterested directors”) or, if there are less than three (3) disinterested directors, then the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of the Bank determine that the person is not entitled to such presumption by certifying such

B-12

determination in writing to the Secretary of the Bank. In such event the disinterested director(s) or, in the event of certification by shareholders, the Secretary of the Bank shall request of independent counsel, who may be the outside general counsel of the Bank, a written opinion as to whether or not the parties involved are entitled to indemnification under Sections 23.1 and 23.2 of this Article.

Section 23.4 Expenses incurred by an officer and/or employee in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Bank in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the manner provided under Section 23.3 of this Article upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer and/or employee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Bank.

Section 23.5 The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity while serving as an officer and/or employee and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an officer and/or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 23.6 The Bank may create a fund of any nature, which may, but need not be, under the control of a trustee, or otherwise secure or insure in any manner its indemnification obligations arising under this Article.

Section 23.7 The Bank shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an officer and/or employee of the Bank, or is or was serving at the request of the Bank as a director, officer, employee and/or agent of a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Bank would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

Section 23.8 Indemnification under this Article shall not be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

Article 24

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

Section 24.1 A director of this Bank shall stand in a fiduciary relation to the Bank and shall perform his duties as a director, including his duties as a member of any committee of the Board of Directors upon which he may serve, in good faith, in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Bank, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, skill and diligence, as a person of ordinary prudence would

B-13

use under similar circumstances. In performing his duties, a director shall be entitled to rely in good faith on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or presented by any of the following:

(a) One (1) or more officers or employees of the Bank whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented.

(b) Counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters which the director reasonably believes to be within the professional or expert competence of such person.

(c) A committee of the Board of Directors upon which he does not serve, duly designated in accordance with law, as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the director reasonably believes to merit confidence.

A director shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if he has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause his reliance to be unwarranted.

Section 24.2 In discharging the duties of their respective positions, the Board of Directors, committees of the Board of Directors, and individual directors may, in considering the best interests of the Bank, consider the effects of any action upon employees, upon suppliers and customers of the Bank, and upon communities in which offices or other establishments of the Bank are located, and all other pertinent factors. The consideration of those factors shall not constitute a violation of Section 24.1.

Section 24.3 Absent a breach of fiduciary duty, lack of good faith or self-dealing, actions taken as a director or any failure to take any action shall be presumed to be in the best interests of the Bank.

Section 24.4 A director of this Bank shall not be personally liable for monetary damages as such for any action taken or for any failure to take any action, unless:

(a) the director has breached or failed to perform the duties of his office under the provisions of Sections 24.1 and 24.2, and

(b) the breach or failure to perform constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness.

Section 24.5 The provisions of Section 24.4 shall not apply to:

(a) the responsibility or liability of a director pursuant to a criminal statute, or

(b) the liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to local, state or federal law.

B-14

Section 24.6 The Bank shall indemnify any director, or any former director, who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or who is called to be a witness in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Bank) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director of the Bank, or is or was serving at the request of the Bank as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Bank, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Bank, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 24.7 The Bank shall indemnify any director, who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or who is called as a witness in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Bank to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was at the request of the Bank a director, officer and/or employee or agent of a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of, or serving as a witness in, such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Bank and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any such claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Bank.

Section 24.8 Except as may be otherwise ordered by a court, there shall be a presumption that any director is entitled to indemnification as provided in Sections 24.6 and 24.7 of this Article unless either a majority of the directors who are not involved in such proceedings (“disinterested directors”) or, if there are less than three (3) disinterested directors, then the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of the Bank determine that the person is not entitled to such presumption by certifying such determination in writing to the Secretary of the Bank. In such event the disinterested director(s) or, in the event of certification by shareholders, the Secretary of the Bank shall request of independent counsel, who may be the outside general counsel of the Bank, a written opinion as to whether or not the parties involved are entitled to indemnification under Sections 24.6 and 24.7 of this Article.

Section 24.9 Expenses incurred by a director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Bank in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized in the manner provided under Section 24.8 of this Article upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Bank as authorized in this Article.

B-15

Section 24.10 The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity while serving as a director and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 24.11 The Bank may create a fund of any nature, which may, but need not be, under the control of a trustee, or otherwise secure or insure in any manner its indemnification obligations arising under this Article.

Section 24.12 The Bank shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, or is or was serving at the request of the Bank as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Bank would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.

Section 24.13 Indemnification under this Article shall not be made in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

Article 25

SHARE CERTIFICATES

Section 25.1 The share certificates of the Bank shall be numbered and registered in a share register as they are issued; shall bear the name of the registered holder, the number and class of shares represented thereby, the par value of each share or a statement that such shares are without par value, as the case may be; shall include a statement that the institution is incorporated under the laws of this Commonwealth; shall be signed by the President or a Vice President and the Secretary or the Treasurer, or any other person properly authorized by the Board of Directors; and, shall bear the corporate seal, which seal may be a facsimile engraved or printed.

No transfer shall be made if it would be inconsistent with the provisions of Article 8 of the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code.

Article 27

LOST CERTIFICATES

Section 27.1 Where a shareholder of the Bank alleges the loss, theft or destruction of one (1) or more certificates for shares of the Bank and requests the issuance of a substitute certificate therefor, the Secretary or the Treasurer may direct a new certificate of the same tenor and for the same number of shares to be issued to such person upon such person’s making of an affidavit in form satisfactory to the Secretary or the Treasurer setting forth the facts in connection therewith, provided that prior to the receipt of such request the Bank shall not have either registered a transfer of such certificate or received notice that such certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the Secretary or the Treasurer may, in his discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his heirs or legal representatives, as the case may be, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or give the Bank a bond in such form and with surety or sureties, with fixed or open penalty, as shall be satisfactory to the Secretary or the Treasurer, as indemnity for any liability or expense which it may incur by reason of the original certificate remaining outstanding.

The number of judges shall be one or three. If appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more shareholders or proxies, the holders of shares, present in person or by proxy, entitled to cast at least nine (9) votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast shall determine whether one (1) or three (3) judges are to be appointed.

With respect to any directorship held by an incumbent Continuing Penseco Director whose term is expiring at any such meeting, a subcommittee of the Nominations Committee comprised solely of Continuing Penseco Directors shall select, or recommend for the board’s selection, a director nominee who, except for executive officers, is an independent director as provided in the NASDAQ Stock Market Marketplace Rules and who meets the requirements for a director under the Corporation’s bylaws above for election or reelection to such directorship. A “Continuing Penseco Director” shall mean any member of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation who was a director of Penseco immediately prior to the Effective Time, or any other member of the board of directors of the Corporation who was nominated in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Section 10.6 All Directors, upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 73 years, shall be permitted to serve as a director for the remainder of their term after which they shall no longer be eligible to serve as a director. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director appointed to the Corporation’s Board of Directors in connection with the Merger and Section 10.3 hereof shall be eligible to stand for election to one additional three (3) year term, regardless of their age, unless the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall determine otherwise upon the approval of 80% of the directors of the entire Board of Directors.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 23.1 The Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Pennsylvania law and federal law, any director, officer and/or employee, or any former director, officer and/or employee, who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or who is called to be a witness in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer and /or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 23.2 The Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by Pennsylvania law and federal law, any director, officer and/or employee, who was or is a party

to, or is threatened by to be made a party to, or who is called as a witness in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer and/or employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture , trust or other enterprise against amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including attorney’s fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of, or serving as a witness in, such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any such claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation.

Section 23.3 Except as may be otherwise ordered by a court, there shall be a presumption that any director, officer and/or employee is entitled to indemnification as provided in Sections 23.1 and 23.2 of this Article unless either a majority of the directors who are not involved in such proceedings (“disinterested directors”) or, if there are less than three (3) disinterested directors, then the holders of one-third of the outstanding shares of the Corporation determine that the person is not entitled to such presumption by certifying such determination in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. In such event the disinterested director(s) or, in the event of certification by shareholders, the Secretary of the Corporation shall request of independent counsel, who may be the outside general counsel of the Corporation, a written opinion as to whether or not the parties involved are entitled to indemnification under Sections 23.1 and 23.2 of this Article.

Section 23.5 The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity while serving as a director, officer and/or employee and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer and/or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and personal representatives of such a person.

SHARE CERTIFICATES

Section 24.1.

Directors; and shall bear the corporate seal, which seal may be a facsimile engraved or printed. Where the certificate is signed by a transfer agent or a registrar, the signature of any corporate officer on such certificate may be a facsimile, engraved or printed. In case any officer who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, any share certificate shall have ceased to be such officer because of death, resignation or otherwise before the certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if the officer had not ceased to be such at the date of its issue.

ARTICLE 26

LOST CERTIFICATES

Section 26.1. Where a shareholder of the Corporation alleges the loss, theft or destruction of one or more certificates for shares of the Corporation and requests the issuance of a substitute certificate therefore, the Board of Directors may direct a new certificate of the same tenor and for the same number of shares to be issued to such person upon such person’s making of an affidavit in form satisfactory to the Board of Directors setting forth the facts in connection therewith, provided that prior to the receipt of such request the Corporation shall not have either registered a transfer of such certificate or received notice that such certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or his heirs or legal

representatives, as the case may be, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or give the Corporation a bond in such form and with surety or sureties, with fixed or open penalty, as shall be satisfactory to the Board of Directors, as indemnity for any liability or expense which it may incur by reason of the original certificate remaining outstanding.

Section 32.2. Any written notice required to be given to any person may be waived in writing signed by the person entitled to such notice whether before or after the time stated therein. Attendance of any person entitled to notice whether in person or by proxy, at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where any person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened. Where written notice is required of any meeting, the waiver thereof must specify the purpose only if it is for a special meeting of the shareholders.

ARTICLE 33
