Until surrendered, each certificate theretofore evidencing shares of Madison Common Stock shall, from and after the Effective Date, evidence solely the right to receive certificates for shares of Leesport Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.02(g)(i) hereof, the corresponding number of Leesport Stock Purchase Rights, and a check for cash in lieu of any fractional share in accordance with Section 1.02(e)(iv) hereof. If certificates for shares of Madison Common Stock are exchanged for Leesport Common Stock at a date following one or more record dates for the payment of dividends or for any other distribution on the shares of Leesport Common Stock which record date occurs after the Effective Date, Leesport will pay cash in an amount equal to dividends theretofore payable on such Leesport Common Stock and pay or deliver any other distribution to which holders of shares of Leesport Common Stock have theretofore become entitled. Upon surrender of certificates for shares of Madison Common Stock in exchange for certificates for Leesport Common Stock, Leesport shall pay any dividends to which such holder of Madison Common Stock may be entitled as a result of the declaration of a dividend on the Madison Common Stock by Madison in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with a record date prior to the Effective Date and a payment date after the Effective Date. No interest will accrue or be payable in respect of dividends or cash otherwise payable under this Section 1.02(g) upon surrender of certificates for shares of Madison Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto will be liable to any holder of Madison Common Stock for any amount paid in good faith to a public official or agency pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. Until such time as certificates for shares of Madison Common Stock are surrendered by a Madison shareholder to the Exchange Agent for
13
exchange, Leesport shall have the right to withhold dividends or any other distributions on the shares of Leesport Common Stock issuable to such shareholder.
(iii) Exchange Procedures. The Exchange Agent shall accept each certificate for shares of Madison Common Stock delivered for exchange under this Section 1.02(g) submitted in accordance with such reasonable and customary terms as the Exchange Agent shall impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If more than one certificate is surrendered at one time and in one transmittal package for the same shareholder account, the number of whole shares of Leesport Common Stock for which certificates will be issued pursuant to this Section 1.02(g) shall be completed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares represented by the certificates so surrendered. If shares of Leesport Common Stock or payments of cash are to be issued or made to a person other than the one in whose name the surrendered certificate is registered, the certificate so surrendered must be properly endorsed in blank, with signature(s) guaranteed, or otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the person to whom certificates for shares of Leesport Common Stock is to be issued or to whom cash is to be paid shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of such issuance or payment to a person other than the registered holder of the certificate for shares of Madison Common Stock which are surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable. As promptly as reasonably practicable but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, the Exchange Agent shall send or cause to be sent to each shareholder of record of Madison Common Stock transmittal materials for use in exchanging certificates representing Madison Common Stock for certificates representing Leesport Common Stock into which the former have been converted in the Merger. Certificates representing shares of Leesport Common Stock and checks for cash in lieu of fractional shares shall be mailed to former shareholders of Madison as promptly as reasonably possible but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the receipt of certificates representing former shares of Madison Common Stock duly endorsed or accompanied by the materials referenced herein and delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested.
(iv) No Further Ownership Rights. All shares of Leesport Common Stock and the corresponding number of Leesport Stock Purchase Rights issued and cash paid upon conversion of shares of Madison Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Madison Common Stock.
(v) Lost Certificates. If any certificate representing Madison Common Stock (a “Madison Certificate”) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Madison Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Leesport may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Madison Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Madison Certificate the shares of Leesport Common Stock represented thereby based on the Exchange Ratio, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Leesport
14
Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 1.02(e)(iv), the corresponding number of Leesport Stock Purchase Rights and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Leesport Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 1.02(g)(ii).
(vi) Stock Transfer Books. At the close of business on the Effective Date, the stock transfer books of Madison with respect to Madison Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall be closed and, thereafter, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of Madison of shares of Madison Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Madison Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Madison Common Stock formerly represented thereby, except as otherwise provided herein or by law. On or after the Effective Time, any Madison Certificates presented to Leesport or the Exchange Agent for any reason shall be exchanged for shares of Leesport Common Stock represented thereby based on the Exchange Ratio, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Leesport Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 1.02(e)(iv), the corresponding number of Leesport Stock Purchase Rights and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Leesport Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 1.02(g)(ii).
(h) Anti-Dilution Provisions. If Leesport shall, at any time before the Effective Date, (i) declare a dividend with respect to its common stock in shares of Leesport Common Stock with a record date prior to the Effective Date (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Leesport Common Stock), (ii) combine the outstanding shares of Leesport Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, (iii) resolve to effect or split or subdivide the outstanding shares of Leesport Common Stock with a record date prior to the Effective Date, or (iv) reclassify or recapitalize or otherwise adjust the shares of Leesport Common Stock, then, in any such event, the number of shares of Leesport Common Stock to be delivered to Madison shareholders who are entitled to receive shares of Leesport Common Stock in exchange for shares of Madison Common Stock shall be adjusted so that each Madison shareholder shall be entitled to receive such number of shares of Leesport Common Stock as such shareholder would have been entitled to receive if the Effective Date had occurred immediately prior to the happening of such event. (By way of illustration, if Leesport declares a Leesport Common Stock dividend of 7% payable with respect to a record date on or prior to the Effective Date, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted upward by 7%). In addition, in the event that, prior to the Effective Date, Leesport enters into an agreement pursuant to which shares of Leesport Common Stock would be converted into shares or other securities or obligations of another corporation, proper provision shall be made in such agreement so that each Madison shareholder entitled to receive shares of Leesport Common Stock in the Merger shall be entitled to receive such number of shares or other securities or amount of obligations of such other corporation as such shareholder would be entitled to receive if the Effective Date had occurred immediately prior to the happening of such event.
(i) Dissenting Shares. Each outstanding share of Madison Common Stock, the holder of which has perfected his right to dissent under the BCL and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall
15
not be converted into or represent a right to receive Leesport Common Stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio hereunder and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the BCL. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent, the Dissenting Shares held by such holder shall as of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, whichever occurs later, automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive Leesport Common Stock and the corresponding number of Leesport Stock Purchase Rights in accordance with the Exchange Ratio hereunder and in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. Madison shall give Leesport notice upon receipt by Madison of any such written demands for payment of the fair value of shares of Madison Common Stock and of withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments provided pursuant to the BCL. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Surviving Corporation.
Section 1.03 Bank Merger. Leesport and Madison shall use their best efforts to cause Madison Bank to merge with and into Leesport Bank, with Leesport Bank surviving such merger, as soon as practicable after the Merger on the Effective Date. Concurrently with, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Leesport shall cause Leesport Bank, and Madison shall cause Madison Bank, to execute and deliver a bank plan of merger (the “Bank Plan of Merger”) in a form acceptable to Leesport and Madison. The Bank Plan of Merger shall not be effected prior to the Effective Time.

Section 4.05 Certain Agreements.
(a) In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, in which any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective
44
Date, a director or officer or employee of Madison or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”) is, or is threatened to be, made a party to a suit 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, officer or employee of Madison, any of the Madison’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after the Effective Date, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to defend against and respond thereto to the extent permitted or required by the BCL and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Madison. For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Date, Leesport (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless all prior and then-existing directors and officers of Madison and any Madison Subsidiary, against (A) all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or judgments or amounts which are paid in settlement (with the approval of Leesport, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) of or incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is, or was, a director, officer, or employee (an “Indemnified Party”) of Madison or any Madison Subsidiary, whether pertaining to any matter existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Date and whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Effective Date (“Indemnified Liabilities”) and (B) all Indemnified Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, to the fullest extent permitted under Pennsylvania law, including the right to advancement of expenses; provided, however, that any such officer, directors or employee of Madison or any Madison Subsidiary shall not be indemnified by Leesport and/or Leesport Bank if such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.
(b) Leesport shall, and shall cause Leesport Bank, to keep in effect provisions in its articles of incorporation and bylaws providing for the exculpation of director and officer liability and its Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted by Pennsylvania law, which provisions shall not be amended except as required by applicable law or except to make changes permitted by law that would enlarge the Indemnified Parties’ right to exculpation of liability or indemnification.
(c) Leesport shall maintain, at no expense to the beneficiaries, Madison’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (or a policy providing comparable coverage amounts on terms generally no less favorable, including Leesport’s existing policy if it meets the foregoing standard) covering persons who are currently covered by such insurance for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Date; provided, however, that in no event shall Leesport be obligated to expend, in order to maintain or provide insurance coverage pursuant to this Section 4.05(b), any amount per annum in excess of 200% of the amount of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by Madison for such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”). If the amount of the annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, Leesport shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In the event that Leesport acts as its own insurer for all of its directors and officers with respect to matters typically covered by a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, Leesport’s obligations under this Section 4.05(b) may be satisfied by such self insurance, so long as its senior debt ratings by Standard & Poor’s Corporation and Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc. are not lower than such ratings as of the date hereof.

In connection with implementation of the foregoing, the following provisions and guidelines shall apply:
(i) Leesport Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“Leesport ESOP”). Employees of Madison or any Madison Subsidiary who become employees of Leesport or a Leesport Subsidiary shall receive, for purposes of eligibility to participate in and vesting under the Leesport ESOP, credit for all service completed with Madison or any Madison Subsidiary as of the Effective Date, and shall become participants in the Leesport ESOP in accordance with its terms as soon as administratively feasible.

After the Effective Date, Leesport will continue to maintain the individual participant accounts under Madison’s 401(k) Plan. Thereafter, Leesport shall have the right, but not the obligation, to combine the Madison 401(k) Plan and the Leesport 401(k) Plan on such terms as it deems appropriate and in accordance with applicable law.
53
(iv) Welfare Benefit Plans. After the Effective Date, the Welfare Benefit Plans of Leesport and Madison (and their respective subsidiaries) may, at Leesport’s election and according to the terms of such plans, be terminated, maintained unchanged until the contracts underlying such welfare benefit plans (if any) expire, or continue to be maintained by Leesport as long as is administratively feasible or required, following the Closing Date. Leesport shall take such action with respect to such plans (which may include the implementation of new benefits, reduction or elimination of some benefits, and the adjustment of the respective cost allocation between employer and employee) as it deems appropriate under the circumstances. In the event of any termination or consolidation of a Madison Welfare Benefit Plan with any Leesport welfare plan, all employees of Madison or any Madison Subsidiary who become employees of Leesport or a Leesport Subsidiary and who are eligible for coverage under the Madison Benefit Welfare Plan shall have immediate coverage under any successor Welfare Benefit Plan without the necessity of satisfying a waiting period for coverage of any pre-existing condition and shall become participants in the Leesport welfare benefit plans, subject to the terms and conditions of such plans, including the required cost allocation between employer and employee and co-pays, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses. Leesport does not provide welfare benefits to retired employees.
(v) Madison Bonus Plans and Arrangements. Madison may continue to administer such bonus programs and arrangements as are disclosed in the Madison Disclosure Schedule through the Effective Date, with such equitable modifications mutually agreed to by Leesport and Madison as may be appropriate to take into account the circumstances of the Merger and the timing thereof; provided, however, that the criteria for bonus payments shall be disclosed in reasonable detail on the Madison Disclosure Schedule and that aggregate payments under Madison bonus plans and arrangements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004 shall not exceed the amount set forth in the Madison Disclosure Schedule.

From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Date of the Merger, without the prior written consent of Leesport and except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, no further benefits, grants or awards shall be made available under any other Madison plans to employees or directors, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, re-load stock options and performance shares.
(vii) Post-Closing Actions. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as precluding Leesport from amending or terminating any plan, program or arrangement following the Effective Date of the Merger in accordance with the terms of such plan, program or arrangement.
(b) Retention Bonuses. Each employee of Madison or a Madison Subsidiary jointly designated in writing by Leesport and Madison shall be entitled to receive a “retention” bonus from Madison, a Madison Subsidiary, Leesport or a Leesport Subsidiary, as the case may be, in an amount and at a time to be mutually agreed upon in writing by Leesport and Madison in the event that such employee remains an employee of Madison or a Madison Subsidiary, or Leesport or a Leesport Subsidiary, as applicable, until the Effective Date (or in
54
certain cases, a date, after the Effective Date, that the systems conversion occurs or thereafter as determined by Leesport) provided that such employee satisfactorily fulfills the duties and responsibilities of the position of such employee of Madison or a Madison Subsidiary, or Leesport or a Leesport Subsidiary, as the case may be, through the Effective Date and thereafter, if applicable. Unless mutually agreed upon by Leesport and Madison, retention bonuses shall not be payable to any Madison or Madison Subsidiary employee who is a party to an employment or other agreement that provides severance benefits or payments in the event of a termination of employment following a change in control of Madison or a Madison Subsidiary.
(c) Termination Benefits. Madison shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Leesport within fifteen (15) Business Days following execution of this Agreement with respect to each executive officer named on the Benefits Schedule included in the Madison Disclosure Schedule, the written acknowledgment of each such individual pursuant to which each such individual agrees and acknowledges that the dollar amount set forth opposite such individual’s name on such Benefits Schedule is the maximum amount that would be due to such individual under any employment agreement, special termination agreement, change in control agreement, supplemental executive retirement plan, deferred bonus plan, deferred compensation plan, salary continuation plan, or any other non-qualified pension benefit or welfare benefit plan maintained by Madison solely for the benefit of officers of Madison or Madison Subsidiaries assuming a termination of such individual’s employment on the Effective Date. Madison and Leesport acknowledge and agree that the amounts shown on the Benefits Schedule and the letter of acknowledgment for each officer named herein reflect a good faith estimate of the maximum amounts that will be payable to such individuals under the circumstances described and may be subject to adjustment upon an actual termination of employment in order to reflect increases in such individuals’ compensation and benefit plans consistent with past practices for routine periodic increases and changes in tax rates and assumptions used in making such good faith estimates.
(d) Severance Policy. Except as provided in any employment contract, Leesport agrees to cause Leesport Bank to provide severance pay to any full or part-time, active employee of Madison whose employment is terminated hereafter in connection with the Merger in accordance with the severance policy of Leesport in effect at the Effective Time.

EXHIBIT 1
FORM OF AFFILIATE LETTER
April 16, 2004
0000 Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx
Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Leesport Financial Corp. (“Leesport”) and Madison Bancshares Group, Ltd. (“Madison”) desire to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 16, 2004 (“Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (a) Madison will merge with and into Leesport with Leesport surviving the merger (the “Merger”) and (b) shareholders of Madison will receive shares of Leesport common stock in exchange for shares of common stock of Madison (as provided in Section 1.02(e) of the Agreement), plus cash in lieu of any fractional share interest.
Leesport has required, as a condition to its execution and delivery to Madison of the Agreement, and pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Agreement, that the undersigned, being a director and/or executive officer of Madison, execute and deliver to Leesport this letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”).
The undersigned, in order to induce Leesport to execute the Agreement, hereby irrevocably (in his or her individual capacity and not as a director):
(a) Agrees to be present (in person or by proxy) at all meetings of shareholders of Madison called to vote for approval of the Agreement and the Merger so that all shares of common stock of Madison then owned by the undersigned or over which the undersigned exercises voting control (collectively, “Shares”) will be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meetings, and agrees to vote or cause to be voted all such Shares (i) in favor of approval and adoption of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including any amendments or modifications of the terms thereof approved by the Board of Directors of Madison) and (ii) against approval or adoption of any other merger, business combination, recapitalization, asset sale, partial liquidation or similar transaction involving Madison;
(b) Agrees not to vote or execute any written consent to rescind or amend in any manner any prior vote or written consent, as a shareholder of Madison, to approve or adopt the Agreement;
(c) Agrees to recommend the Merger to shareholders of Madison and not to withdraw or modify such recommendation if the undersigned is a member of the Board of Directors of Madison, and to otherwise use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be completed;
1
(d) Except as required by law, agrees that the undersigned will not, and will not permit any company, trust or other entity controlled by the undersigned to, contract to sell, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the Shares or any interest therein or any voting rights with respect thereto, other than subsequent to the shareholder meeting of Madison held in connection with the vote on the Agreement or pursuant to a gift where the transferee has agreed in writing to abide by the terms of this Letter Agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to Leesport;
(e) If the undersigned holds any Madison Options or Madison Warrants (as defined in the Agreement), the amounts of which at the time of signing this Agreement are listed below, the undersigned agrees not to exercise such Madison Options or Madison Warrants and agrees to terminate such Madison Options or Madison Warrants in exchange for a cash payment as provided in Sections 1.02(f)(i) and 1.02(f)(ii) of the Agreement.
(f) Agrees not to offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock of Leesport received in the Merger, except (i) at such time as a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) covering sales of such Leesport common stock is effective and a prospectus is made available under the Securities Act, (ii) within the limits, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of, Rule 145(d) under the Securities Act or (iii) in a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to Leesport or as described in a “no-action” or interpretive letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, is not required to be registered under the Securities Act; and acknowledges and agrees that Leesport is under no obligation to register the sale, transfer or other disposition of Leesport common stock by the undersigned or on behalf of the undersigned, or to take any other action necessary to make an exemption from registration available;
(g) Agrees that neither Madison nor Leesport shall be bound by any attempted sale by the undersigned of any of the Shares or of shares of Leesport Common Stock, respectively, and Leesport’s transfer agent shall be given an appropriate stop transfer order and shall not be required to register any such attempted sale, unless the sale has been effected in compliance with the terms of this Letter Agreement; and further agrees that the certificate representing shares of Leesport common stock owned by the undersigned may be endorsed with a restrictive legend consistent with the terms of this Letter Agreement;
(h) Acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of subparagraph (e) hereof also apply to shares of Leesport Common Stock received in the Merger or owned by (i) his or her spouse, (ii) any of his or her relatives or relatives of his or her spouse occupying his or her home, (iii) any trust or estate in which he or she, his or her spouse, or any such relative owns at least a 10% beneficial interest or of which any of them serves as trustee, executor or in any similar capacity except where such action or inaction would violate the terms of trust documents or the fiduciary obligations of the trustee, and (iv) any corporation or other organization in which the undersigned, any affiliate of the undersigned, his or her spouse, or any such relative owns at least 10% of any class of equity securities or of the equity interest;
(i) Agrees that, for a period of eighteen (18) months from the Effective Date of the Merger, the undersigned shall not directly or indirectly solicit for employment or business relationship purposes pertaining to the financial services industry any employee or customer of Madison who was such an employee or customer on the Effective Date of the Merger.
2
(j) Represents that the undersigned has the capacity to enter into this Letter Agreement and that it is a valid and binding obligation enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights and general equitable principles.
It is understood and agreed that the provisions of subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Letter Agreement relate solely to the capacity of the undersigned as a shareholder or other beneficial owner of shares of Madison common stock and is not in any way intended to affect the exercise by the undersigned of the undersigned’s responsibilities as a director or officer of Madison. It is further understood and agreed that such subparagraphs of this Letter Agreement are not in any way intended to affect the exercise by the undersigned of any fiduciary responsibility which the undersigned may have in respect of any shares of Madison common stock held or controlled by the undersigned as of the date hereof.
The obligations set forth herein shall terminate concurrently with any termination of the Agreement in accordance with its terms. The obligations set forth herein shall terminate automatically if Madison exercises its right to accept a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Agreement) pursuant to Section 6.01(g) of Agreement.
This Letter Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Letter Agreement.
This Letter Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Leesport, and shall be binding on the undersigned and his or her executors, personal representatives, administrators, heirs, legatees, guardians and other personal representatives. This Letter Agreement shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned.
The undersigned agrees that, in the event of his or her breach of this Letter Agreement, Leesport shall be entitled to such remedies and relief against the undersigned as are available at law or in equity. The undersigned acknowledges that there is not an adequate remedy at law to compensate Leesport for a violation of this Letter Agreement, and irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense that he or she might have based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable relief. The undersigned agrees to the granting of injunctive relief without the posting of any bond and further agrees that, if any bond shall be required, such bond shall be in a nominal amount.
3
Please confirm, intending to be legally bound, that the foregoing correctly states the understanding between the undersigned and Leesport by signing and returning to Leesport a counterpart hereof.
