Associate — The term “associate” of a particular person means:

(1)	any corporation or organization, other than Northwest Bancorp, MHC, Northwest Bancorp, Inc., Northwest Savings Bank, Northwest Bancshares, Inc. or a majority-owned subsidiary of Northwest Bancorp, Inc. or Northwest Savings Bank, of which the person is a senior officer, partner or beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of any equity security;
(2)	any trust or other estate in which the person has a substantial beneficial interest or serves as a trustee or in a similar fiduciary capacity; provided, however, that for the purposes of subscriptions in the offering and restrictions on the sale of stock after the conversion, the term “associate” does not include a person who has a substantial beneficial interest in an employee stock benefit plan of Northwest Savings Bank, or who is a trustee or fiduciary of such plan, and for purposes of aggregating total shares that may be held by officers and directors of Northwest Bancorp, MHC, Northwest Bancorp, Inc., Northwest Savings Bank or Northwest Bancshares, Inc., Inc. the term “associate” does not include any tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan of Northwest Savings Bank; and
(3)	any blood or marriage relative of the person, who either has the same home as the person or who is a director or officer of Northwest Bancorp, MHC, Northwest Bancorp, Inc., Northwest Savings Bank or Northwest Bancshares, Inc.

Acting in concert — The term “acting in concert” means:

(1)	knowing participation in a joint activity or interdependent conscious parallel action towards a common goal whether or not pursuant to an express agreement; or
(2)	a combination or pooling of voting or other interests in the securities of an issuer for a common purpose pursuant to any contract, understanding, relationship, agreement or other arrangement, whether written or otherwise.

A person or company which acts in concert with another person or company shall also be deemed to be acting in concert with any person or company who is also acting in concert with that other party, except that any tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan will not be deemed to be acting in concert with its trustee or a person who serves in a similar capacity solely for the purpose of determining whether common stock held by the trustee and common stock held by the employee stock benefit plan will be aggregated.

We have the sole discretion to determine whether prospective purchasers are “associates” or “acting in concert.” Persons exercising subscription rights through a single qualifying deposit account held jointly, whether or not related, will be deemed to be acting in concert unless we determine otherwise.

Please see the Prospectus section entitled “The Conversion and Offering — Limitations on Common Stock Purchases” for more information on purchase limitations.

(11) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND SIGNATURE (continued from front of Stock Order Form)

I agree that, after receipt by Northwest Bancshares, Inc., this Stock Order Form may not be modified or canceled without Northwest Bancshares, Inc.’s consent, and that if withdrawal from a deposit account has been authorized, the authorized amount will not otherwise be available for withdrawal. Under penalty of perjury, I certify that (1) the Social Security or Tax ID information and all other information provided hereon are true, correct and complete, (2) I am purchasing shares solely for my own account and that there is no agreement or understanding regarding the sale or transfer of such shares, or my right to subscribe for shares, and (3) I am not subject to backup withholding tax [cross out (3) if you have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding.] I acknowledge that my order does not conflict with the overall purchase limitation of $6.0 million, in all categories of the offering combined, for any person or entity, together with associates of, or persons acting in concert with, such person or entity, as set forth in the Plan of Conversion and Reorganization and the Prospectus dated           , 2009.

Subscription rights pertain to those eligible to subscribe in the Subscription Offering. Federal regulations prohibit any person from transferring or entering into any agreement directly or indirectly to transfer the legal or beneficial ownership of subscription rights, or the underlying securities, to the account of another.

I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE NOT A DEPOSIT OR SAVINGS ACCOUNT AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED, AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED BY NORTHWEST BANCSHARES, INC OR NORTHWEST SAVINGS BANK OR BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

If anyone asserts that the shares of common stock are federally insured or guaranteed, or are as safe as an insured deposit, I should call the Office of Thrift Supervision’s Consumer Response Center, (800) 842-6929.

I further certify that, before purchasing the common stock of Northwest Bancshares, Inc., I received the Prospectus dated           , 2009, and that I have read the terms and conditions described in the Prospectus, including disclosure concerning the nature of the security being offered and the risks involved in the investment described in the
“Risk Factors” section beginning on page           , which risks include, but are not limited to the following:

1.	Changes in interest rates could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
2.	If the allowance for credit losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings could decrease.
3.	We could record future losses on our securities portfolio.
4.	Our contribution to the charitable foundation may not be tax deductible, which could reduce our profits.
5.	Any future Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance premiums or special assessments will adversely impact our earnings.
6.	We hold certain intangible assets that could be classified as impaired in the future. If these assets are considered to be either partially or fully impaired in the future, our earnings and the book values of these assets would decrease.
7.	Strong competition may limit growth and profitability.
8.	We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.
9.	The United States economy is in a deep recession. A prolonged economic downturn, especially one affecting our geographic market area, will adversely affect our business and financial results.
10.	Continued government action in response to the economic downturn may negatively affect our operations.
11.	Future legislative or regulatory actions responding to perceived financial and market problems could impair our ability to foreclose on collateral.
12.	If our investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh becomes impaired, our earnings and stockholders’ equity could decrease.
13.	The Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh stopped paying dividends during the fourth quarter of 2008. This will negatively affect our earnings.
14.	The future price of the shares of common stock may be less than the $10.00 purchase price per share in the offering.
15.	We have broad discretion to deploy our net proceeds and our failure to effectively deploy the net proceeds may have an adverse impact on our financial performance and the value of our common stock.
16.	Our failure to effectively reinvest the net proceeds of the offering could reduce our return on stockholders’ equity and our return on assets and negatively impact the value of our common stock.
17.	The ownership interest of management and employees could enable insiders to prevent a merger that may provide stockholders a premium for their shares.
18.	The implementation of the stock-based incentive plan may dilute your ownership interest.
19.	Additional expenses following the conversion from the compensation and benefit expenses associated with the implementation of the new stock-based incentive benefit plan will adversely affect our profitability.
20.	We have not determined whether we will adopt stock-based benefit plans more than one year following the stock offering. Stock-based benefit plans adopted more than one year following the stock offering may exceed regulatory restrictions on the size of stock-based benefit plans adopted within one year, which would increase our costs.
21.	The contribution of shares to the charitable foundation will dilute your ownership interests and adversely affect net income.
22.	Various factors may make takeover attempts more difficult to achieve.
23.	There may be a decrease in stockholders’ rights for existing stockholders of Northwest Bancorp, Inc.
24.	You may not revoke your decision to purchase Northwest Bancshares, Inc. common stock in the subscription offering after you send us your subscription.

By executing this form, the investor is not waiving any rights under the federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Upon receipt of this order, we will place a hold on the amount(s) designated by you – the funds designated will be unavailable to you for withdrawal thereafter. The funds will continue to earn interest within the account(s) at the contract rate, and account withdrawals will be made at the completion of the offering. There will be no early withdrawal penalty for withdrawal from a Northwest Savings Bank certificate of deposit account. Note that you may NOT designate deposit accounts with check-writing privileges. Submit a check instead. Additionally, you may not designate individual retirement accounts or other retirement accounts for direct withdrawal. For guidance on using retirement funds for this purchase, please contact the Stock Information Center as soon as possible – preferably at least two weeks before the ___, 2009 offering deadline and see the Prospectus, beginning on page___.

Boxes (d), (e) and (f) refer to a Community Offering. Orders placed in the Subscription Offering will take preference over orders placed in a Community Offering.
