AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 18, 2019, by and between Community Bank System, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Community”), and Steuben Trust Corporation, a New York corporation (“Steuben”).

Recitals

WHEREAS, Community is a bank holding company, the sole banking Subsidiary of which is Community Bank, N.A., a national banking association (“Community Bank”);

WHEREAS, Steuben is a bank holding company, the sole banking Subsidiary of which is Steuben Trust Company, a New York State-chartered bank (“Steuben Bank”);

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Community and Steuben have approved this Agreement and the transactions described herein in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York (the “NYBCL”) and have declared the same advisable and in the best interests of Community and Steuben, respectively, and their respective stockholders;

WHEREAS, this Agreement provides for the acquisition of Steuben by Community pursuant to the merger of Steuben with and into Community (the “Merger”). Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, Steuben Bank shall merge (the “Bank Merger”) with and into Community Bank, with Community Bank continuing as the surviving bank, pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Merger and Merger Agreement between Community Bank and Steuben Bank attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Bank Merger Agreement”);

WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a condition and inducement to Community’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, each of the individuals listed on Exhibit B attached hereto who holds Steuben Common Shares has executed and delivered to Community an agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (each a “Shareholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, subject to the terms of such Shareholder Support Agreement, to vote the Steuben Common Shares held of record by such Persons or as to which they otherwise have beneficial ownership to adopt this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and the mutual warranties, representations, covenants, and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

Article 1

Section 1.1           Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL and the NYBCL, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.4 herein), Steuben shall be merged with and into Community. Community shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) resulting from the Merger and the separate corporate existence of Steuben shall thereupon cease. Community shall continue to be governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware, and the separate corporate existence of Community with all of its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger.

Section 1.2           Bank Merger. Prior to the Effective Time, Community and Steuben shall cause the Boards of Directors of Community Bank and Steuben Bank, respectively, to execute the Bank Merger Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Bank Merger Agreement, Steuben Bank shall be merged with and into Community Bank in accordance with the provisions of 12 U.S.C. Sections 215a and 1828(c). Community Bank shall be the surviving bank resulting from the Bank Merger and the separate existence of Steuben Bank shall thereupon cease. Community Bank shall continue to be governed by the Laws of the United States, and the separate existence of Community Bank with all of its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Bank Merger.

Section 1.3           Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at the offices of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, 200 Liberty Street, New York, New York 10281, or by the electronic transmission of signature pages, on a date which shall be no later than three (3) Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable Law) of the latest to occur of the conditions set forth in Article 5 hereof (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof), unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by Community and Steuben (the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”).

Section 1.4           Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective as set forth in the certificate of merger to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of New York (the “New York Secretary”) and the certificate of merger to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary”), in each case on the Closing Date (together, the “Certificates of Merger”). The term “Effective Time” shall be the date and time when the Merger becomes effective, as set forth in the Certificates of Merger.

-2-

Section 1.6          Organizational Documents of Surviving Corporation; Directors and Officers. (a)  The Organizational Documents of Community in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time until otherwise amended or repealed.

(b)           The directors of Community immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time. The officers of Community immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or otherwise ceasing to be an officer or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

Section 1.7           Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for the purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

Section 1.8          Structure Change. Community may at any time change the method of effecting the Merger and the Bank Merger (including by providing for the merger of Steuben with a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Community) if and to the extent requested by Community, and Steuben agrees to enter into such amendments to this Agreement as Community may reasonably request in order to give effect to such restructuring; provided, however, that no such change or amendment shall (a) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration provided for in this Agreement, (b) adversely affect the Tax treatment of the Merger with respect to Steuben’s shareholders or (c) be reasonably likely to cause the Closing to be prevented or materially delayed or the receipt of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals to be prevented or materially delayed.

Article 2

TREATMENT OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1          Treatment of Shares. (a)  Treatment of Steuben Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or holders of any securities of Steuben or of Community, subject to Section 2.1(c) and any applicable withholding Tax, each Steuben Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Steuben Common Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and other than any Proposed Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive (i) 0.8054 shares of Community Common Stock (the “Per Share Stock Consideration”) and (ii) $12.60 in cash (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”, and, together with the Per Share Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), in each case without interest. From and after the Effective Time, all such Steuben Common Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each applicable holder of such Steuben Common Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Steuben Common Shares in accordance with Section 2.2(b), including the right to receive, pursuant to Section 2.6, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Community Common Stock, if any, into which such Steuben Common Shares have been converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) (the “Fractional Share Consideration”), together with the amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.2(f).

-3-

(b)           Cancellation of Steuben Common Shares. At the Effective Time, all Steuben Common Shares owned by any of the Parties or by any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than any such shares owned in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c)           Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Steuben Common Shares or Community Common Stock, as applicable), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the number of Steuben Common Shares or shares of Community Common Stock outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(d)           Community Common Stock. At and after the Effective Time, each share of Community Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of Community Common Stock and shall not be affected by the Merger.

Section 2.2          Payment for Securities; Surrender of Steuben Certificates.

(a)           Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Community shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Steuben to act as the exchange agent in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). The Exchange Agent shall also act as the agent for Steuben’s shareholders for the purpose of receiving and holding their Steuben Certificates and Book-Entry Shares and shall obtain no rights or interests in the shares represented thereby. At or immediately after the Effective Time, Community shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (i) evidence of Community Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a) in book-entry form equal to the aggregate Community Common Stock portion of the Merger Consideration (excluding any Fractional Share Consideration), and (ii) cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration, Fractional Share Consideration and any dividends under Section 2.2(f) (such evidence of book-entry shares of Community Common Stock and cash amounts, together with any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto, the “Exchange Fund”), in each case, for the sole benefit of the holders of Steuben Common Shares. In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration, Fractional Share Consideration and any dividends under Section 2.2(f), Community shall promptly deposit additional funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. Community shall cause the Exchange Agent to make, and the Exchange Agent shall make, delivery of the Merger Consideration, including payment of the Fractional Share Consideration and any amounts payable in respect of dividends or other distributions on shares of Community Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(f) out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as reasonably directed by Community; provided, however, that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Steuben Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Article 2. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Community on the earlier of (A) one (1) year after the Effective Time or (B) the full payment of the Exchange Fund.

-4-

(b)           Procedures for Surrender. Promptly after the Effective Time, Community shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail (and make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Steuben Common Shares (the “Steuben Certificates”) or non-certificated Steuben Common Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) and whose Steuben Common Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Steuben Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Steuben Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Community may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Steuben Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration into which such Steuben Common Shares have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1, including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6, and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Community Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(f). Upon surrender of a Steuben Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Community, together with such letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Steuben Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2, any Fractional Share Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6, and any amounts that such holder has the right to receive in respect of dividends or other distributions on shares of Community Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(f) for each Steuben Common Share formerly represented by such Steuben Certificate or Book-Entry Share, to be mailed (or made available for collection by hand if so elected by the surrendering holder) within five (5) Business Days following the Exchange Agent’s receipt of such Steuben Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, and the Steuben Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Steuben Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Steuben Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (A) the Steuben Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Steuben Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Community that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Steuben Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration contemplated by this Article 2, including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6, and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Community Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(f), without interest thereon.

-5-

(c)           Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Steuben Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Steuben shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Steuben Common Shares on the records of Steuben. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Steuben Certificates or Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Steuben Common Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Steuben Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d)           Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Community shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Exchange Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Exchange Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Steuben Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Community (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration, including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6, and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Community Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(f), payable upon due surrender of their Steuben Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Community nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Steuben Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration or other amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e)           Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Steuben Certificates. In the event that any Steuben Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Steuben Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, and the compliance by such holder with such other requirements of the Exchange Agent, the applicable Merger Consideration, payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, including, any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6, and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Community Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2(f).

-6-

(f)            Dividends or Distributions with Respect to Community Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Community Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Steuben Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to the shares of Community Common Stock issuable hereunder, and all such dividends and other distributions shall be paid by Community to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Steuben Certificate or Book-Entry Share (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Steuben Certificate or Book-Entry Share (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Community Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Community Common Stock.

Section 2.3          Dissenters’ Rights. (a)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Steuben Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder of record who did not vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement (or consent thereto in writing) and is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Steuben Common Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Sections 623 and 910 of the NYBCL (the “Appraisal Rights”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1, but instead at the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Steuben Common Shares in accordance with the Appraisal Rights (it being understood and acknowledged that at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares to the extent afforded by the Appraisal Rights); provided, however, that if any such holder (including any holder of Proposed Dissenting Shares) shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares under the Appraisal Rights, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, without interest or duplication, the Merger Consideration. “Proposed Dissenting Shares” means Steuben Common Shares whose holders provide demands for appraisal to Steuben prior to the Steuben Shareholder Meeting, or at such meeting but before the vote, and do not vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, in each case in accordance with the Appraisal Rights.

(b)          Steuben shall give prompt notice to Community of any demands received by Steuben for appraisal of any Steuben Common Shares, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments served pursuant to the NYBCL and received by Steuben relating to Appraisal Rights, and Community shall have the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, Steuben shall not, without the prior written consent of Community, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

-7-

Section 2.4          Treatment of Steuben Stock Options. (a)  As of the Effective Time, each option to purchase Steuben Common Shares granted under any Steuben Benefit Plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Steuben Stock Option”), whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall, automatically and without any action on behalf of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a right of the former holder of such Steuben Stock Option to receive the applicable Steuben Stock Option Consideration. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Steuben Stock Option Consideration” means, with respect to a Steuben Stock Option, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the number of Steuben Common Shares underlying such Steuben Stock Option multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration Value over the exercise price per share of such Steuben Stock Option. “Per Share Merger Consideration Value” means (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration plus (ii) the value equal to the Per Share Stock Consideration multiplied by the Average Closing Price. For the avoidance of doubt, any Steuben Stock Option with an exercise price per share that is equal to or in excess of the Per Share Merger Consideration Value shall be automatically cancelled pursuant to this Section 2.4 without any consideration.

(b)           Prior to the Effective Time, Steuben or its Board of Directors or a committee thereof, as applicable, shall pass resolutions and take any actions as are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.4. Steuben shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each holder of a Steuben Stock Option to execute and deliver to Community an Option Cancellation Acknowledgement in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (each, an “Option Cancellation Acknowledgement”) pursuant to which each such holder shall agree, among other things, subject to the terms of such Option Cancellation Acknowledgement and this Agreement, that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each of such holder’s Steuben Stock Options shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Steuben Stock Option Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.4.

(c)           Subject to Section 2.5, promptly following the Effective Time but no later than thirty (30) days following the Effective Time, any amounts due to the former holders of Steuben Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be paid through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries.

Section 2.5          Withholding. Community shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to deduct and withhold, from the consideration otherwise payable to a holder of Steuben Common Shares or Steuben Stock Options, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, any amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted with respect to such consideration under the Code, or any applicable provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Steuben Common Shares or Steuben Stock Options, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

-8-

Section 2.6          Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Community Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Steuben Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Community. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Steuben Common Shares converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Community Common Stock shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, without interest, in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Community Common Stock multiplied by the Average Closing Price (rounded to the nearest whole cent).

Article 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 3.1          Disclosure Letters. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Steuben has delivered to Community and Community has delivered to Steuben a letter (the “Steuben Disclosure Letter” and the “Community Disclosure Letter,” respectively) setting forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception to one or more of Steuben’s or Community’s, respectively, representations or warranties contained in this Article 3 or to one or more of its covenants contained in Article 4; provided, that (a) no such item is required to be set forth in the Steuben Disclosure Letter or the Community Disclosure Letter as an exception to any representation or warranty of Steuben or Community, respectively, if its absence would not result in the related representation or warranty being deemed untrue or incorrect, and (b) the mere inclusion of an item in the Steuben Disclosure Letter or the Community Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by Steuben or Community, respectively, that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Steuben or Community, respectively. Any disclosures made with respect to a subsection of Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 shall be deemed to qualify any other subsections of Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, respectively, specifically referenced or cross-referenced or that contains sufficient detail to enable a reasonable Person to recognize the relevance of such disclosure to such other subsections.

Section 3.2          Representations and Warranties of Steuben. Subject to and giving effect to Section 3.1 and except as set forth in the Steuben Disclosure Letter, Steuben hereby represents and warrants to Community as follows:

(a)           Organization, Standing, and Power. Each Subsidiary of Steuben is listed in Section 3.2(a) of the Steuben Disclosure Letter. Steuben and each of its Subsidiaries (i) are duly organized, validly existing, and (as to corporations) are in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of their respective organization, (ii) have the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease, and operate their properties and assets and to carry on their businesses as now conducted, and (iii) are duly qualified or licensed to do business and in good standing in the States of the United States and foreign jurisdictions where the character of their assets or the nature or conduct of their business requires them to be so qualified or licensed, except in the case of this clause (iii) where the failure to be so qualified or licensed, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Steuben. Steuben is registered with the Federal Reserve Board as a bank holding company within the meaning of the BHC Act and has elected to be, and qualifies, as a financial holding company under the BHC Act. Steuben Bank is a New York State-chartered bank with its main office located in the State of New York. Steuben Bank is an “insured depository institution” as defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950 and applicable regulations thereunder, its deposits are insured by the FDIC through the Deposit Insurance Fund to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and all insurance premiums and assessments required to be paid in connection therewith have been paid when due. No action for the revocation or termination of such deposit insurance is pending or, to the Knowledge of Steuben, threatened. Steuben Bank is a member in good standing of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.

-9-

(b)           Authority; No Breach of Agreement. (i)  Steuben has the corporate power and authority necessary to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Steuben, threatened Litigation, governmental audits or investigations or other proceedings or participant claims (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course of business) with respect to or against any Steuben Benefit Plan or its assets. No prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code) or any breach of a fiduciary duty has occurred with respect to any Steuben Benefit Plan that has caused or would reasonably be expected to cause Steuben or any of its Subsidiaries to incur any Liability under ERISA or the Code.

Steuben has made available to Community true, correct, and complete copies of its calculations, together with any assumptions applicable thereto, evidencing that no such “excess parachute payments” will be paid or payable to any “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.5          Steuben Shareholder Approval. (a) Steuben shall call and give notice of a meeting of its shareholders (the “Steuben Shareholder Meeting”) to be held as soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC for the purpose of obtaining the Steuben Shareholder Approval and, if so desired and mutually agreed, upon other matters of the type customarily brought before an annual or special meeting of shareholders to adopt a merger agreement, and Steuben shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such meeting to occur as soon as reasonably practicable. The Board of Directors of Steuben shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the shareholders of Steuben the Steuben Shareholder Approval, including by communicating to its shareholders the Steuben Directors’ Recommendation (and including such recommendation in the Proxy Statement), and, if requested by Community, Steuben shall engage a proxy solicitor reasonably acceptable to Community to assist in the solicitation of proxies from shareholders relating to the Steuben Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that, prior to the Steuben Shareholder Meeting and subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, so long as Steuben has complied with its obligations under Section 4.12, if the Board of Directors of Steuben, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, determines in good faith that, because of (x) the receipt of an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal or (y) the occurrence of an Intervening Event, failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Board of Directors of Steuben may submit this Agreement to Steuben’s shareholders without recommendation (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the Board of Directors of Steuben may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to Steuben’s shareholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by Law; provided further, that the Board of Directors of Steuben may not take any actions under the foregoing proviso unless (i) it gives Community at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and a reasonably detailed description of the Acquisition Proposal or Intervening Event giving rise to its determination to take such action (including, in the case of an Acquisition Proposal, the latest material terms and conditions and the identity of the third party in any such Acquisition Proposal (including an unredacted copy of all proposed agreements and other documents with respect to such Acquisition Proposal) or any amendment or modification thereof), (ii) during such five (5) Business Day notice period, Steuben shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate with Community in good faith (to the extent Community seeks to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Community, and (iii) at the end of such notice period, the Board of Directors of Steuben takes into account in good faith any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Community and after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, determines in good faith that it would nevertheless be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend this Agreement. Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal or material development with respect to any Intervening Event will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal or Intervening Event, as the case may be, for purposes of this Section 4.5(a) and will require a new notice period as referred to in this Section 4.5(a).

-44-

(b)          Steuben shall adjourn or postpone the Steuben Shareholder Meeting if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled there are insufficient Steuben Common Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if on the date of such meeting Steuben has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Steuben Shareholder Approval, and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Steuben shall continue to use all reasonable best efforts, together with its proxy solicitor (if applicable), to solicit proxies from Steuben shareholders in favor of the Steuben Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Steuben Shareholder Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of Steuben at the Steuben Shareholder Meeting, for the purpose of voting on the adoption of this Agreement and the other matters contemplated hereby, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Steuben of such obligation.

Section 4.6          Listing of Community Common Stock. Community shall cause the shares of Community Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time.

Section 4.7          Reasonable Best Efforts. (a)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 4.8, the Parties will use all reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, in good faith, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to permit consummation of the Merger as promptly as practicable and otherwise to enable consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and each will cooperate fully with and furnish information to the other Party to that end, and obtain all consents of, and give all notices to and make all filings with, all Governmental Authorities and other third parties that may be or become necessary for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that Steuben shall not agree to make any payments or modifications to agreements in connection therewith without the prior written consent of Community, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and provided further, that nothing contained herein shall preclude any Party from exercising its rights under this Agreement.

(b)          Immediately following the Effective Time, the Parties shall take all actions necessary to consummate the Bank Merger.

(c)          Each Party undertakes and agrees to use its reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and to take no action that would prevent the Merger from qualifying, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(d)         The Parties shall consult with respect to the character, amount and timing of restructuring charges to be taken by each of them in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and shall take such charges in accordance with GAAP, as such Parties mutually agree upon.

Section 4.8          Applications and Consents. (a)  Community and Steuben shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC, no later than sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, the Proxy Statement and Community shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement, in which the Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus. Each of Community and Steuben shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Registration Statement effective for so long as necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Steuben shall thereafter as promptly as practicable mail or deliver the Proxy Statement to its shareholders. Community shall also use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state Securities Law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Steuben shall furnish all information concerning Steuben and the holders of Steuben Common Shares as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

(b)         The Parties shall cooperate with each other and use, and cause their applicable Subsidiaries to use, their reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all Permits, Consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Requisite Regulatory Approvals), and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such Permits, Consents, approvals and authorizations of all such Governmental Authorities and third parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, Community and Steuben shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, each prepare and file any applications, notices and filings required to be filed with any Governmental Authority in order to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals.

(c)          Community and Steuben shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to Steuben or Community, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the Parties shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, the Parties agree that they will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all Permits, Consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each Party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Party shall consult with the other in advance of any meeting or conference with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, Steuben shall give Community and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences.

(d)          In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Community and Steuben shall use its reasonable best efforts to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing.

-46-

(e)          Community and Steuben shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, the Registration Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Community, Steuben or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f)          To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Community and Steuben shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Authority whose Consent is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such Consent will be materially delayed.

(g)         As used in this Agreement, the “Requisite Regulatory Approvals” shall mean all regulatory authorizations, Consents, Orders or approvals from, to or with (x) the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC, the FDIC, the New York State Department of Financial Services or any Federal Home Loan Bank or Federal Reserve Bank that are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger and the Bank Merger, and (y) any other approvals set forth in Sections 3.2(b)(vi) and 3.3(b)(iv) that are necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger and the Bank Merger, except in the case of this clause (y) for any such authorizations, Consents, Orders or approvals the failure of which to be obtained or made would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Steuben or Community, as the case may be.

(h)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall require Community or its Subsidiaries to take, or agree to take, any actions, or to accept any restriction, requirement or condition, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Community, Steuben, and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or prohibit or materially limit the ownership or operation by Steuben or any of its Subsidiaries, or Community or any of its Subsidiaries, of all or any material portion of the business or assets of Steuben and its Subsidiaries or Community and its Subsidiaries, in each case taken as a whole, or compel Community or any of its Subsidiaries to dispose of or hold separate all or any material portion of the business or assets of Steuben and its Subsidiaries or Community and its Subsidiaries, in each case taken as a whole (a “Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition”).

Section 4.9          Notification of Certain Matters. Each Party will give prompt written notice to the other Party (and subsequently keep such other Party informed on a current basis) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event, change, circumstance or effect that (a) is reasonably likely to result in any Material Adverse Effect on it, or (b) would cause or constitute a breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements contained herein; provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any breach shall not be deemed to constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b), or Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(b), as the case may be, to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by such Party due to its failure to give such notice unless the underlying breach would independently result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b), or Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(b), as the case may be, or give rise to a termination right under Section 6.1. Steuben shall deliver to Community a copy of the written opinion (or any withdrawal of such opinion) of PNC FIG Advisory, Inc. or any other financial advisor, as soon as reasonably practicable after Steuben’s receipt thereof.

-47-

Community shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Steuben’s regular business operations during any such access. No investigation by Community shall affect the representations and warranties of Steuben or the right of Community to rely thereon.

(b)          Each Party shall, and shall cause its directors, officers, employees and Representatives to, maintain the confidentiality of all confidential information furnished to it by the other Party concerning its and its Subsidiaries’ businesses, operations and financial positions to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the Confidentiality Agreement.

-48-

Section 4.12        Acquisition Proposals. (a)  Steuben agrees that it will not, and will cause its directors, officers, employees and Representatives and Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, encourage or knowingly facilitate inquiries or proposals with respect to, (ii) continue, engage or participate in any negotiations concerning, (iii) provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have or participate in any discussions with, any Person (other than Persons who are Affiliates or Representatives of Steuben or Community) relating to, or (iv) approve, recommend, agree to or accept, any Acquisition Proposal; provided, that, prior to, but not after, the time the Steuben Shareholder Approval is obtained, if Steuben receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement that was not received in violation of clauses (i) – (iv) above, and Steuben’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, Steuben may, and may permit its officers and Representatives to, furnish or cause to be furnished nonpublic information or data to and participate in such negotiations or discussions with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal to the extent that the Board of Directors of Steuben concludes in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor) that failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided further, that prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing proviso, Steuben shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to it than the Confidentiality Agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) and shall provide to Community any such information not previously provided to Community. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Steuben and its Representatives may (without any determination by the Board of Directors of Steuben or consultation with outside counsel or its financial advisor) (x) following receipt of an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement and prior to the time the Steuben Shareholder Approval is obtained that was not received in violation of clauses (i) – (iv) above, contact such third party solely in order to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal and/or (y) direct any Person who makes an Acquisition Proposal or who expresses interest to Steuben in making an Acquisition Proposal to this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 4.12. Steuben will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any Persons other than Community with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Steuben shall use its reasonable best efforts, subject to applicable Law, to, within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, request and confirm the return or destruction of any confidential information provided to any Person (other than Community and its Affiliates and its and their Representatives) pursuant to any existing confidentiality, standstill or similar agreements to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party relating to an Acquisition Proposal and shall withdraw and terminate any access that was granted to any third party to any “data room” (electronic or physical) that was established in connection with a transaction involving Steuben.

(b)          Steuben shall promptly, and in any event within twenty four (24) hours of receipt, advise Community in writing in the event Steuben or any of its directors, employees, officers or Representatives receives (i) any Acquisition Proposal or indication by any Person that it is considering making an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any request for information, discussion or negotiation that is reasonably likely to lead to or that contemplates an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) any inquiry, proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, in each case together with the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request, inquiry, proposal or offer, and shall furnish Community with a copy of such Acquisition Proposal (or, where such Acquisition Proposal is not in writing, with a description of the material terms and conditions thereof). Steuben shall keep Community informed (orally and in writing) in all material respects on a timely basis of the status and details (including, within twenty four (24) hours after the occurrence of any amendment, modification, development, discussion or negotiation) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request, inquiry, proposal or offer, including furnishing copies of any written inquiries, correspondence and draft documentation, and written summaries of any material oral inquiries or discussions. Without limiting any of the foregoing, Steuben shall promptly (and in any event within twenty four (24) hours) notify Community orally and in writing if it determines to begin providing information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal and shall in no event begin providing such information or engaging in such discussions or negotiations prior to providing such notice.

-49-

(c)          Neither the Board of Directors of Steuben nor any committee thereof shall (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 4.5(a), (A) withdraw (or modify or qualify in any manner adverse to Community) the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Board of Directors of Steuben or any such committee of this Agreement, the Merger, or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, (B) adopt, approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable the adoption of any Acquisition Proposal, (C) resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions or (D) submit this Agreement to its shareholders without recommendation (each such action set forth in this clause (i) being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) (A) cause or permit Steuben or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract constituting or relating to, or which is intended to or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with Section 4.12(a)) or (B) resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions.

(d)          Steuben agrees that any breach by its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or Representatives of this Section 4.12 shall be deemed a breach by Steuben.

(e)          Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Steuben or its Board of Directors from complying with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or from making any legally required disclosure to Steuben’s shareholders; provided, that such rules will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such rules would otherwise have under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, a “stop, look and listen” communication shall not be deemed an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Board of Directors of Steuben publicly states that the Steuben Directors’ Recommendation has not changed or refers shareholders to the Steuben Directors’ Recommendation.

Section 4.13       Takeover Laws. None of Steuben, Community or their respective Boards of Directors shall take any action that would cause any Takeover Law to become applicable to this Agreement, the Merger, or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, and each shall take all necessary steps to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby from any applicable Takeover Law now or hereafter in effect. If any Takeover Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, each Party and the members of their respective Boards of Directors will grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Law on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, if necessary, challenging the validity or applicability of any such Takeover Law.

Section 4.14        Employee Matters. (a)  Except as would result in a duplication of benefits, the current employees of Steuben or any of its Subsidiaries who continue as employees of Community or its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) shall be given, subject to applicable Law, credit for past service with Steuben and its Subsidiaries to the extent credited by Steuben and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time for purposes of determining eligibility for employee benefits under all employee health and welfare programs maintained by Community or its Subsidiaries in which such Continuing Employees participate following the Effective Time and for purposes of determining length of vacation, sick time and paid time off under Community’s applicable plan or policy (but not for purposes of eligibility for, vesting under, or accrual with respect to any defined benefit pension plan, retiree health or welfare plan or equity award or other long-term incentive compensation plans). In addition, under the welfare plans of Community and its Subsidiaries in which Continuing Employees participate, Community shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive, or cause to be waived, for each participating Continuing Employee, any limitations on benefits relating to pre-existing conditions to the same extent such limitations are waived under any comparable plan of Steuben or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time and (ii) recognize for purposes of annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its medical and dental plans, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by each participating Continuing Employee in the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs.

Section 4.15        Certain Policies. Following receipt of all Requisite Regulatory Approvals and adoption of this Agreement at the Steuben Shareholder Meeting:

(a)          Steuben shall, consistent with GAAP and applicable Law and on a basis mutually satisfactory to it and Community, modify and change its accounting, investment, loan, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications, content and size of investment portfolio, and levels of reserves and accruals) so as to be applied, in all material respects, on a basis that is consistent with that of Community;

(b)          Steuben and Community shall review the adequacy of reserves for loan losses currently established by Steuben and, if deemed warranted by both parties under GAAP, Steuben shall make mutually acceptable changes to such reserves; and

(c)          Steuben shall consult with Community with respect to determining the amount and timing of recognizing, for financial accounting and income Tax reporting purposes, Steuben’s expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, subject to GAAP and applicable Law, Steuben shall recognize its costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby at such time or times as are reasonably requested by Community.

Section 4.16        Indemnification. (a)  From and after the Effective Time, Community shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each present and former director and officer of Steuben and its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, settlements effected with the prior written consent of Community (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), fines, losses, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether arising before or after the Effective Time (regardless of whether the Indemnified Party is a named party or a participant other than as a named party, including as a witness), arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to, the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of Steuben or any of its Subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of Steuben or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, agent, trustee or fiduciary of another Person (including in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan) and pertaining to matters, acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and Community shall also advance expenses as incurred by such Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law within thirty (30) days after a written request setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail; provided that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking (in a reasonable and customary form) to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with Community in the Indemnified Party’s defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

-53-

(b)          Subject to applicable Law, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Community shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Steuben (provided, that Community may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims against the present and former officers and directors of Steuben or any of its Subsidiaries arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, that Community shall not be obligated to expend, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of two hundred percent (200%) of the current annual premium paid as of the date hereof by Steuben for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then Community shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which, in Community’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, Steuben, in consultation with Community, may (and at the request of Community, Steuben shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a six (6) year “tail” policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Premium Cap. If Steuben purchases such a “tail policy,” Community shall maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder for such six (6) year period.

(c)          Subject to applicable Law, the obligations of Community and Steuben under this Section 4.16 shall not be terminated or modified after the Effective Time in a manner so as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party or any other Person entitled to the benefit of this Section 4.16 without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Party or affected Person (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4.16).

(d)          Subject to applicable Law, the provisions of this Section 4.16 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and Representatives and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification, advancement, exculpation or contribution that any such individual may have under the Bylaws of Steuben or its Subsidiaries, or by indemnification agreement, resolution, contract or otherwise.  If Community or any of its successors or assigns will consolidate with or merge into any other entity and not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, transfer all or substantially all of its assets or deposits to any other entity or engage in any similar transaction, then in each case to the extent the obligations set forth in this Section 4.16 are not otherwise transferred and assumed by such successors and assigns by operation of Law or otherwise, Community will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Community will expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.16.

Section 4.17        Steuben Debt. (a) Community will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, by or on behalf of Steuben, at or prior to the Effective Time, any supplements, amendments or other instruments required for the due assumption of Steuben’s outstanding Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due 2037 (the “Steuben Debentures”) and (to the extent informed of such requirement by Steuben) other agreements to the extent reasonably required by the terms of the Steuben Debentures.

Such cooperation and assistance shall include the training of Steuben’s and its Subsidiaries’ employees, during normal business hours, and providing Community and its Subsidiaries with computer file instructions with respect to the information in its data processing system regarding the assets and Liabilities of Steuben and Steuben Bank, together with operational procedures designed to implement the transfer of such information to Community and its Subsidiaries, provided that the confidentiality of customer information shall be preserved and no information shall be transferred until the Effective Time. Steuben and its Subsidiaries shall cooperate with Community in connection with the planning for the efficient and orderly combination of the parties and the operation of Community Bank (including the former operations of Steuben Bank) after the Bank Merger, and in preparing for the consolidation of appropriate operating functions to be effective at the Effective Time or such later date as Community may decide. Steuben shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take any action Community may reasonably request prior to the Effective Time to facilitate the combination of the operations of Steuben Bank with Community Bank upon the completion of the Merger. After the execution of this Agreement, Steuben and Community shall each designate an individual to serve as liaison concerning the transfer of data processing information and other similar operational matters.

Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 4.20, senior officers of Steuben and Community shall meet from time to time as Steuben or Community may reasonably request, to review the financial and operational affairs of Steuben and its Subsidiaries, and Steuben shall give due consideration to Community’s input on such matters.

After the date of this Agreement, each of Community and Steuben shall coordinate with the other the declaration of any dividends in respect of Community Common Stock and Steuben Common Shares and the record dates and payment dates relating thereto, it being the intention of the Parties that holders of Steuben Common Shares shall not receive two (2) dividends, or fail to receive one (1) dividend, in any quarter with respect to their Steuben Common Shares and any shares of Community Common Stock any such holder receives in exchange therefor in the Merger.

Section 4.20        No Control of Other Party’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Community, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Steuben or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Steuben, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Community or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time.
