relating to, any tender or exchange offer, proposal for a merger, consolidation or other business
combination involving Smithfield or any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner a substantial

of their fiduciary duties as provided in Section 18.4 upon and subject to the limitations contained
in that Section).

condition, assets, businesses, results of operations or prospects of Smithfield, and any
21
material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Smithfield in this Agreement;

31
SECTION 11
OPERATIONS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE
OPERATIONS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE
11.1 Employees of Smithfield.
(a) Centra shall consider the current employees of Smithfield for employment after the
Effective Date, including evaluation of positions and market rates of compensation for positions
filled, all consistent with Centra’s practices in other markets Centra serves. In that process,
Centra will give due consideration to the benefit of maintaining continuity of Smithfield’s
business through employee involvement in that business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall
obligate Centra to cause Smithfield to employ, after the Effective Date, any current employee of
Smithfield; provided that the persons who are Smithfield employees immediately prior to the
Effective Date and whose employment is involuntarily terminated on or after the Effective Date but
prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date shall receive severance in an amount equal to
(i) one week’s wages or salary for each year of service to Smithfield, subject to a minimum
severance payment equal to two months’ wages or salary and a maximum severance payment equal to
four months’ wages or salary and (ii) continuation of health insurance for a period of two months
following termination of employment. No severance compensation shall be paid to any employee who
resigns his or her employment.
(b) Centra agrees that those employees of Smithfield who become employees of Centra or its
subsidiaries, on the Effective Date (“Former Smithfield Employees”), while they remain employees of
Centra or its subsidiaries after the Effective Date will be provided with benefits under employee
benefit plans during their period of employment which are no less favorable in the aggregate than
those provided by Centra to similarly situated employees of Centra and its subsidiaries, except as
otherwise provided herein. Except as hereinafter provided, at the
32
Effective Date, Centra will amend or cause to be amended each employee benefit and welfare
plan of Centra and its subsidiaries in which Former Smithfield Employees are eligible to
participate, to the extent necessary, so that as of the Effective Date (i) such plans take into
account for purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting, and benefit accrual (except that there
shall not be any benefit accrual for past service under any qualified defined benefit pension
plan), the service of such employees with Smithfield as if such service were with Centra and its
subsidiaries; (ii) Former Smithfield Employees are not subject to any waiting periods or
pre-existing condition limitations under the medical, dental and health plans of Centra or its
subsidiaries in which they are eligible to participate and may commence participation in such plans
on the Effective Date; (iii) Former Smithfield Employees will retain credit for unused sick leave
and vacation pay which has been accrued as of the Effective Date; (iv) for purposes of determining
the entitlement of Former Smithfield Employees to sick leave and vacation pay following the
Effective Date, the service of such employees with Smithfield shall be treated as if such service
were with Centra and its subsidiaries; and (v) Former Smithfield Employees are first eligible to
participate and will commence participation in the Centra 401(k) Plan on the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Centra at its option may decide to assume and maintain the medical,
dental and health plans of Smithfield for up to three years following the Effective Date for the
benefit of employees and former employees of Smithfield who are currently participating in those
plans, subject to the approval of the insurer of benefits under those plans, which approval
Smithfield agrees to use its best efforts to obtain if requested by Centra.
(c) As of the Closing Date and at Centra’s option, the Smithfield Retirement Plan will be (i)
terminated or (ii) amended to cease all future benefit accruals. The
33
parties agree that at a minimum, participants in the Smithfield Retirement Plan will be
entitled to their vested accrued benefit under that plan as of the Closing Date. It is further
specifically understood that, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Smithfield
Employees shall be employees at-will and that after the Effective Date, Centra may alter, amend, or
terminate any of their benefit programs covering such employees, or the employment of any of such
employees.
(d) It is the present intention of Centra that Centra shall maintain a substantial and
prominent presence in the Smithfield, Uniontown and Point Xxxxxx markets and, in connection
therewith Centra shall continue to use and occupy Smithfield’s existing branch system and
personnel, doing everything reasonable to maintain current personnel, subject to such changes in
business plans as the Board of Directors of Centra may reasonably determine to be in the best
interests of Centra and its shareholders, employees, customers and the communities it serves.
11.2 Formation of Sub-Tier Holding Company. As soon as practicable after the
Effective Date, and pending all applicable regulatory approvals, consents and waiting periods as
well as resolution by Centra to its satisfaction, in its discretion, of any regulatory actions,
agreements, memoranda or orders with respect to Smithfield, Centra intends to merge Smithfield with
and into its subsidiary, Centra Bank, Inc., and to form a sub-tier holding company for operations
in the market currently served by Smithfield, with a board of directors to be selected by Centra to
make decisions concerning loans and operations in such market consistent with Centra’s current
practices.
11.3 Maintenance of Branches. Except for the branch located in a grocery store in
Fairchance, Pennsylvania, which will be evaluated by Centra, Centra shall maintain, or cause its
subsidiaries to maintain, the current branch offices of Smithfield for a period of at least one
year after the Effective Date.
34
11.4 Indemnification.
(a) For four years after the Effective Date (except as such time period is inapplicable as
described below), Centra shall indemnify defend and hold harmless the present directors and
officers of Smithfield (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all costs or expenses (including
reasonable attorneys fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively,
“Costs”) incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of actions or omissions occurring at
or prior to the Effective Date (including, without limitation and without regard to the four year
time limit otherwise imposed by this Section 11.4, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement)
to the fullest extent that such persons are indemnified under Smithfield’s articles of
incorporation and by-laws as in effect on the date hereof, and during such period Centra shall also
advance expenses (including expenses described in Section 11.4(e)) as incurred to the fullest
extent permitted under Smithfield’s articles of incorporation and by-laws as in effect on the date
hereof, provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay
such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification
with no bond or security to be required. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary
contained elsewhere herein, Centra’s indemnity agreement set forth above shall be limited to cover
claims only to the extent that such claims are not paid under Smithfield’s directors’ and officers’
liability insurance policies referred to in Section 11.4(b) (or any substitute policy permitted by
such section).
(b) Centra shall maintain Smithfield’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
policy (or a policy providing comparable coverage amounts on terms no less
35
favorable, including Centra’s existing policy if it meets the foregoing standard) covering
persons who are currently covered by such insurance for a period of four years after the Effective
Date; provided, however, that Centra’s obligation under this paragraph shall be limited to payment
of premiums for such insurance in an aggregate amount not to exceed $49,290 which amount, the
parties understand, will cause director and officer liability coverage to be in force at present
levels of coverage for current directors and officers of Smithfield for a period of four years
after the Effective Date.
(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 11.4(c), upon
learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, shall promptly
notify Centra thereof; provided that the failure so to notify shall not affect the obligations of
Centra under Section 11.4(a) unless and to the extent Centra has no actual knowledge of such claim,
action, suit, proceeding or investigation and such failure so to notify materially increases
Centra’s liability under such Section 11.4(a).
(d) Centra shall pay all reasonable costs, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by
any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section
11.4. The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights such
Indemnified Party may have under applicable law.
11.5 Consideration of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx for Board Position. Centra’s Board of Directors
will consider Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx for membership on the board of directors of the sub-tier holding
company referred to in Section 11.2 and on the board of directors of Smithfield from the Effective
Date until the formation of the sub-tier holding company; provided, however, that nothing
36
in this Agreement shall obligate Centra or Smithfield after the Effective Date to elect or appoint
Xx. Xxxxxx to any board of directors.
SECTION 12
BROKERS, ETC.
Except for an amount to be determined and negotiated among Smithfield, Centra and FinPro,
which amount shall not exceed $40,000 in any event, Smithfield represents and warrants to Centra
that no broker, or finder, or financial analyst has been employed by Smithfield or is entitled to a
fee, commission or other compensation from Smithfield, with respect to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.
