including dissenting shares and cash paid in lieu of fractional

allocation procedure such that the total consideration paid will
be 15% in cash and 85% in ACNB common stock.

The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties
from the parties, and the parties have agreed to customary
covenants and agreements, including, among others, covenants and
agreements relating to (1)conduct of their respective businesses
during the interim period between execution of the Agreement and
the closing of the merger, (2)NW Bancorps obligation to
facilitate its stockholders consideration of, and voting upon,
the necessary approval and adoption of the Agreement, (3)the

approved the Agreement. The Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by it are subject to the approval of NW Bancorps
stockholders, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing
conditions. The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

circumstances, NW Bancorp will be obligated to pay ACNB a
termination fee of $1,300,000.

and are solely for the benefit of the

representations and warranties may change after the date of the
Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully
reflected in the parties public disclosures. Accordingly, the
