Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On December 12, 2023, Orrstown Financial Services, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Orrstown”), and Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Codorus Valley”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Codorus Valley will be merged with and into Orrstown, with Orrstown as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Promptly following the Merger, Codorus Valley’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company, a Pennsylvania chartered bank (“PeoplesBank”), will be merged with and into Orrstown Bank, a Pennsylvania chartered bank, which is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Orrstown, with Orrstown Bank as the surviving bank (the “Bank Merger”). The Merger and the Bank Merger are collectively referred to in this Current Report on Form 8-K as the “Proposed Transaction.” A copy of the Merger Agreement is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. A summary of the material terms of the Merger Agreement follows.
Merger Consideration
The consideration payable to Codorus Valley shareholders upon completion of the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”) will consist of whole shares of Orrstown common stock, no par value per share (“Orrstown Common Stock”), and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Orrstown Common Stock. Upon consummation of Merger, each share of Codorus Valley common stock, $2.50 par value per share (“Codorus Valley Common Stock”), excluding shares held in treasury by Codorus Valley, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive 0.875 shares of Orrstown Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”).
Treatment of Codorus Valley Equity Awards
The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, each option to purchase Codorus Valley Common Stock under Codorus Valley’s 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, and the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, and any other similar plan (collectively, the “Codorus Valley Equity Plans”) which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Orrstown Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Codorus Valley Common Stock subject to such stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of ORLE Common Stock of such stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Following the Effective Time, each such stock option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time. All timed-based restricted stock awards and time-based restricted stock unit awards granted under the Codorus Valley Equity Plans shall vest in full and all such shares of Codorus Valley Common Stock shall be considered outstanding shares for all purposes of the Merger Agreement. In addition, all performance-based restricted stock awards and performance-based restricted stock unit awards granted under the Codorus Valley Equity Plans shall vest at the greater of: (i) an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the “target” level or (ii) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target as of Codorus Valley’s last fiscal quarter preceding the closing date of the Merger and the award shall become vested pro rata based on the portion of the applicable performance period completed through the closing date of the Merger.
Treatment of Codorus Valley Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Merger Agreement provides that, as soon as reasonably practicable following the signing of the Merger Agreement, the 2007 Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) shall be suspended and the final offering period currently in effect will end on the earlier of (A) its regular end date and (B) such date as Codorus Valley determines in its sole discretion (provided that such date shall be no later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the closing of the Merger). The ESPP will terminate on the date immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger.
Voting Agreements
As a condition for Orrstown to enter into the Merger Agreement, each director and executive officer of Codorus Valley, has, solely in his or her capacity as a shareholder of Codorus Valley, entered into an Codorus Valley Voting Agreement, dated as of the date thereof with Orrstown (each an “Codorus Valley Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which he or she has agreed, among other things, to vote their Codorus Valley Common Stock in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Codorus Valley Voting Agreement. The Codorus Valley Voting Agreement is substantially in the form included as Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1.
As a condition for Codorus Valley to enter into the Merger Agreement, each director and executive officer of Orrstown, has, solely in his or her capacity as a shareholder of Orrstown, entered into a Orrstown Voting Agreement, dated as of the date thereof with Codorus Valley (each a “Orrstown Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which he or she has agreed, among other things, to vote their Orrstown Common Stock in favor of the approval of the issuance of shares of Orrstown Common Stock as Merger Consideration and any other matter in order to consummate the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Orrstown Voting Agreement. The Orrstown Voting Agreement is substantially in the form included as Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1.
Treatment of Codorus Valley Debt
In connection with the closing of the Proposed Transaction, Orrstown or Orrstown Bank, as applicable, will assume the indebtedness obligations of Codorus Valley or PeoplesBank, as applicable. Orrstown or Orrstown Bank, as applicable, will enter into any supplemental indentures, officer’s certificates or other documents and provide any opinions of counsel to the trustee thereof, in each case, required to make such assumption effective.
Certain Governance Matters
The Merger Agreement also provides that (i) the name of the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) shall be “Orrstown Financial Services, Inc.”; (ii) the name of the surviving bank in the Bank Merger (the “Surviving Bank”) shall be “Orrstown Bank”; (iii) the headquarters and main office of the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Bank will be located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and (iv) the operations location of the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Bank shall be in York, Pennsylvania.
Appointment of Directors and Officers
The Amended and Restated By-Laws of Orrstown (the “By-Laws”) will be amended (the “Bylaws Amendment”), effective as of the Effective Time, to be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. Pursuant to the Bylaws Amendment, Orrstown will, immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) expand the size of the board of directors of Orrstown to 13 members, (ii) appoint six new directors, each of whom will be selected from the existing board of directors of Codorus Valley by Codorus Valley, and (iii) cause four of Orrstown’s existing directors to resign. The Codorus Valley directors appointed to the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation will serve as a director for the remainder of the term of the class to which such director is appointed and will be appointed to fill the class of directors of the resigning Orrstown directors, as applicable. The directors of the Surviving Corporation will be re-classified so that there will be an equal split of the Codorus Valley directors amongst all classes of directors and the total number of directors of each class will be split as evenly split as possible. Upon the expiration of the term to which he or she is initially appointed, the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation will nominate and recommend such director for election by the shareholders of the Surviving Corporation to a successive three-year term on the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation, subject to the eligibility requirements for a director under the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
In addition, effective as of the Effective Time, (i) Joel Zullinger will serve as the Chairman of the board of directors of each of the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Bank and (ii) Rodney Messick will serve as the Vice Chairman of the board of directors of each of the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Bank. The composition of the committees of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation will be as further set forth in the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, as amended by the Bylaws Amendment.
Representations and Warranties
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from Codorus Valley to Orrstown, which are qualified by the confidential disclosure schedules provided by Codorus Valley to Orrstown, and customary representations and warranties from Orrstown to Codorus Valley, which are qualified by the confidential disclosure schedules provided by Orrstown to Codorus Valley.

the receipt of all regulatory approvals required to consummate the Proposed Transaction, (A) which will remain in full force and effect and all statutory waiting periods in respect thereof will have expired, (B) none of which will impose any term, condition or restriction that Orrstown reasonably determines is a Burdensome Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and (C) all conditions to which will have been satisfied or waived; |
|
(iii) |

(iv) |

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The representations, warranties and covenants of each party set forth in the Merger Agreement have been made only for purposes of, were and are solely for the benefit of the parties to, the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.
In addition, such representations and warranties (i) will not survive consummation of the Proposed Transaction, and cannot be the basis for any claims under the Merger Agreement by the other party after termination of the Merger Agreement, except as a result of fraud or willful breach of the provisions of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date as is specified in the Merger Agreement. Information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the parties’ public disclosures. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding Orrstown, Orrstown Bank, Codorus Valley, PeoplesBank, or their respective affiliates or their respective businesses.
Employment Agreement and Change in Control Agreement with Craig Kauffman
Concurrently with the signing of the Merger Agreement, Orrstown and Orrstown Bank (collectively, the “Employer”) entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) and a Change in Control Agreement (the “Change in Control Agreement”), with Craig Kauffman, Chief Executive Officer of Codorus Valley (the “Executive”), to be effective as of the closing date of the Merger. Capitalized terms used below and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Employment Agreement and Change in Control Agreement, as applicable.
The Employment Agreement provides that the Executive shall be appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Employer upon the retirement of the current President and Chief Executive Officer of the Employer as of the effective date of the Employment Agreement, which shall occur no later than June 1, 2025. The Employment Agreement provides for a term of five years, plus an automatic extension of such term for additional one-year terms, unless the parties are given at least 60 days’ notice of non-renewal. Upon giving notice of non-renewal of the employment period, the employment period shall continue for a four-year period after the relevant anniversary date.
During the term of the Employment Agreement, the Executive’s minimum annual base salary will be $600,000. Subject to the approval of the board of directors, the Employer shall grant the Executive an award of 10,000 shares of restricted stock (the “Equity Award”), subject to the Executive’s continued employment through the date of grant. The Equity Award will be subject to the terms of the Employer’s equity incentive plan and an applicable award agreement by and between Executive and the Employer which, among other things, will set forth the applicable vesting terms of the Equity Award.
In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated during the term by the Employer without “Cause” or by the Executive for “Good Reason” (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement) or by the Executive for any reason, the Executive will be paid severance equal to his base salary in effect upon the date of his termination and an amount equal to the average annual cash bonus awarded over the past three calendar years preceding the
calendar year in which his termination is effective (exclusive of any election to defer receipt of compensation Executive may have made) in accordance with the Employer’s normal payroll processing intervals for the remaining term of the Employment Agreement. The Executive will continue to be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans for a period of six months after the termination. If the post-termination group health or other benefits coverage is prohibited by the applicable rules and regulations, or if providing such coverage would subject the parties to penalties or excise taxes, the Employer will continue to pay the Executive the monthly amount, but the Employer shall not be required to provide the Executive with enrollment and participation in the actual plans in which the Employer’s employees are actually enrolled. In addition, in lieu of ongoing coverage under the group term life insurance program, the Employer will pay the Executive an amount equal to 150% of the Employer’s actual premium cost of providing group term life insurance coverage to the Executive for the three-year period following the Executive’s termination date, which amount will be payable in a lump sum payment. If the Executive is unable to continue to participate in any employee benefit plan or program provided for under the Employment Agreement, he will be compensated in respect of such inability to participate for a period of six months through payment by the Employer of an amount equal to the cost that would have been incurred by the Employer if he were able to participate in such plan or program (less the employee portion of the premium costs for the active plan) plus an amount which, when added to the Employer annual cost to the Employer, would be sufficient after Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes (based on the tax returns filed by Mr. Kauffman’s most recently prior to the date of termination) to enable the Executive to net an amount equal to the Employer annual cost to the Employer.
The Executive has agreed in the Employment Agreement that, for a six-month period following termination of employment, the Executive will not directly or indirectly engage in business competition with Orrstown or Orrstown Bank with respect to its services, products, processes, customers, methods of doing business and similar matters within an agreed upon restricted territory. In addition, during the employment period and for one year thereafter, the Executive will not solicit or attempt to solicit, divert or appeal to any employees, customers and clients of Orrstown, Orrstown Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries.
The Change in Control Agreement becomes effective as of the closing date of the Merger for a term of five years, plus an automatic extension of such term for additional one-year terms, unless the parties are given at least 60 days’ notice of non-renewal. The Change in Control Agreement provides that Orrstown and Orrstown Bank are to pay the Executive the specified amounts of cash compensation and provide the specified health and welfare benefits in the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated by Orrstown or Orrstown Bank or any successor, without Cause, within the two years following the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Change in Control Agreement) or if such termination is initiated by the Executive for Good Reason during the Change in Control period.
The foregoing descriptions of the Employment Agreement and Change in Control Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement and the Change in Control Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties
and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I

ARTICLE II
MERGER CONSIDERATION AND EXCHANGE PROCEDURES
2.1 Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and
without any action on the part of ORRF, CVLY or any shareholder of CVLY:
(a) Each share of ORRF Common Stock that is issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.
(b) Each share of CVLY Common Stock held in the treasury of CVLY (Treasury Stock) immediately prior to the Effective Time
shall be cancelled and retired at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.
(c) Each share of CVLY Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Treasury Stock) shall become
and be converted into, as provided in and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the right to 0.875 shares (the Exchange Ratio) of ORRF Common Stock (the Merger Consideration).
2.2 Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. All shares of CVLY Common Stock, when converted as provided in Section 2.1(c),
shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist and each certificate or direct registration statement (a Certificate) previously evidencing such shares shall thereafter
represent only the right to receive, for each such share of CVLY Common Stock, the Merger Consideration and, if applicable, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of ORRF Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.3. At the Effective Time,
holders of CVLY Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of CVLY, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of ORRF Common Stock as provided under this Article II.
After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of CVLY of shares of CVLY Common Stock, other than transfers of CVLY Common Stock that have occurred prior to the Effective Time.
2.3 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of ORRF Common Stock and no certificates or
scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger. In lieu thereof, ORRF shall pay to each holder of a fractional share of ORRF Common Stock an amount of cash (without interest) determined by multiplying the
fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the average of the daily closing prices during the regular session of ORRF Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) (as reported in The
Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source) for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the fifth Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date, rounded to the nearest whole cent.
2.4 Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent (as defined below) and ORRF will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts
payable (including ORRF Common Stock deliverable) pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of CVLY Common Stock such amounts as it is required to be deducted or withheld therefrom pursuant to any Tax laws. The parties
hereto agree that, absent any change in law, no deduction or withholding is required with respect to the payment of the Merger Consideration except for any withholding required as the result of any failure to deliver any certificates or forms
requested pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld they will be (a) paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority for crediting to the account of the person from whom such amounts were
withheld, and (b) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
2.5 Adjustments to Preserve Tax Treatment. If either the tax opinion referred to in Section 7.2(b) or the tax opinion
referred to in Section 7.3(b) cannot be rendered (as reasonably determined, in each case, by the counsel
3
charged with giving such opinion) as a result of the Merger potentially failing to satisfy the continuity of interest requirements under applicable U.S. federal income tax principles
relating to reorganizations under Section 368(a) of the Code, then ORRF shall increase the Merger Consideration to the minimum extent necessary to enable the relevant tax opinions to be rendered.
2.6 Exchange Procedures.
(a) On or before the Closing Date, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, (i) ORRF shall cause to be delivered to a bank or
trust company designated by ORRF and reasonably satisfactory to CVLY (the Exchange Agent), for exchange in accordance with this Article II, certificates or direct registration statements representing the shares of ORRF Common
Stock issuable pursuant to this Article II (New Certificates) and (ii) ORRF shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent an aggregate amount of cash sufficient to pay the estimated amount of cash to be
paid in lieu of fractional shares of ORRF Common Stock (such cash and New Certificates, being hereinafter referred to as the Exchange Fund).
(b) As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date but in no event later than five Business Days following the Closing Date, and
provided that CVLY has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent all information which is necessary for the Exchange Agent to perform its obligations as specified herein, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a
Certificate or Certificates, a form of letter of transmittal in a form reasonably satisfactory to ORRF and CVLY (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of
the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the shares of CVLY Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall
have been converted pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3 of this Agreement. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly
executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a New Certificate representing that number of shares of ORRF Common Stock (if any) to which such former holder of CVLY Common Stock
shall have become entitled pursuant to this Agreement and/or (ii) a check representing the amount of cash (if any) payable in lieu of a fractional share of ORRF Common Stock which such former holder has the right to receive in respect of the
Certificate surrendered pursuant to this Agreement, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.6(b), each Certificate (other than Certificates representing
Treasury Stock) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration provided in Sections 2.1 and 2.3 and any unpaid dividends and distributions
thereon as provided in Section 2.6(c). No interest shall be paid or accrued on (x) any cash in lieu of fractional shares or (y) any such unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates.
(c) No dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to ORRF Common Stock shall be paid to the
holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.6. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.6, the record
holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of ORRF Common Stock represented by such Certificate.
(d) The Exchange Agent and ORRF, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to deliver a New Certificate or New Certificates representing
shares of ORRF Common Stock to which a holder of CVLY Common Stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificate or Certificates representing the shares of CVLY Common Stock for exchange as
provided in this Section 2.6, or an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in an amount as may be required in each case by ORRF. If any New Certificates evidencing shares of ORRF Common Stock are to be issued
in a name other than that in which the Certificate evidencing CVLY Common Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly
4
endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the Certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange pay to the Exchange
Agent any transfer or other tax required by reason of the issuance of a New Certificate for shares of ORRF Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of
the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the
shareholders of CVLY for 12 months after the Effective Time (as well as any interest or proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to ORRF. Any shareholders of CVLY who have not theretofore complied with
Section 2.6(b) shall thereafter look only to ORRF for the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of each share of CVLY Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case without any interest
thereon. If outstanding Certificates for shares of CVLY Common Stock are not surrendered on or before the day prior to the date on which such shares of ORRF Common Stock or cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental
unit or agency, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable law, become the property of ORRF (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or
interest of any Person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of shares of CVLY Common Stock represented by any Certificate for any consideration paid to a
public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. ORRF and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of CVLY to establish the identity of those Persons entitled to receive the Merger
Consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of any shares of CVLY Common Stock represented by any Certificate, ORRF and the Exchange Agent shall
be entitled to deposit any Merger Consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.
(f) ORRF (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to
this Agreement to any holder of shares of CVLY Common Stock such amounts as ORRF is required to deduct and withhold under applicable law. The parties hereto agree that, absent any change in law, no deduction or withholding is required with respect
to the payment of the Merger Consideration except for any withholding required as the result of any failure to deliver any certificates or forms requested pursuant to this Agreement. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be (i) paid over
to the appropriate Governmental Authority for crediting to the account of the person from whom such amounts were withheld and (ii) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of CVLY Common Stock in respect of
which such deduction and withholding was made by ORRF.
2.7 Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event ORRF or CVLY changes (or

recapitalization, reclassification, or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding ORRF Common Stock or CVLY Common Stock and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately and
appropriately adjusted; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no such adjustment shall be made with regard to ORRF Common Stock if (i) ORRF issues additional shares of ORRF Common Stock and receives consideration
for such shares in a bona fide third party transaction or (ii) ORRF issues employee or director stock grants or similar equity awards or shares of ORRF Common Stock underlying the same, in each case, to the extent permitted by the terms of this

CVLYs 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, and the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, and any other similar plan (collectively, the CVLY Equity Plans) or otherwise, whether
5
vested or unvested, which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which has not been exercised or canceled prior thereto shall automatically and without any required action on

specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each CVLY Stock Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to such CVLY Stock Option immediately
prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the CVLY Equity Plans shall terminate and the provisions in any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of CVLY

other actions as may be required to provide that (i) the 2007 Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc. Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the CVLY ESPP) shall be suspended such that no new offering periods shall commence after the
date of this Agreement and participants may not increase payroll deductions under the CVLY ESPP, (ii) the final offering period in effect as of the date of this Agreement will end on the earlier of (A) its regular end date and

ORRF the representations and warranties contained in this Article III, subject to the standards established by Section 9.1.
(b) On or prior to the date hereof, CVLY has delivered to ORRF a schedule (the CVLY Disclosure Schedule) listing,
among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate in relation to any or all of CVLYs representations and warranties contained in Article III or the covenants set forth in Article V and Article VI, as
applicable, in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision of Article III, Article V or Article VI, as applicable, or as an exception to one or more representations or warranties contained in this Article III or the
covenants set forth in Article V and Article VI, as applicable; provided, however, that (i) the section numbers of the CVLY Disclosure Schedules are numbered to correspond to the section numbers of this Agreement to which they
refer, (ii) no such item is required to be set forth on the CVLY Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty (x) to the extent that the information has been disclosed in any of the CVLY Reports (as defined below)

or any other statements that are similarly non-specific or cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature) and/or (y) if its absence is not reasonably likely to result in the related representation or warranty being untrue or incorrect
under the standards established by Section 9.1, and (iii) the mere inclusion of an item in the CVLY Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by CVLY that such item

accordance with its terms, enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any CVLY Acquisition Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any CVLY Acquisition Proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or
letter of intent relating to a CVLY Acquisition Proposal. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any of CVLY Representatives, whether or not such CVLY Representative is so authorized and whether or not such CVLY Representative is purporting
to act on behalf of CVLY or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by CVLY. CVLY and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause each of CVLY Representatives to, immediately (i) cease and cause to be terminated any and all
existing discussions, negotiations, and
56
communications with any Persons with respect to any existing or potential CVLY Acquisition Proposal and (ii) request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information
previously made available by it or on its behalf in connection with any actual or potential CVLY Acquisition Proposals.

(b) Notwithstanding
Section 6.5(a), prior to the date of CVLY Meeting, CVLY may take any of the actions described in clause (ii) of Section 6.5(a) if, but only if, (i) CVLY has received a bona fide unsolicited written CVLY Acquisition
Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.5; (ii) the CVLY Board determines in good faith, (A) after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside legal counsel that such CVLY
Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a CVLY Superior Proposal and (B) after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such actions would be
reasonably expected to result in the failure of the CVLY Board to comply with the standard of conduct required of a board of directors under the PBCL or other fiduciary duties owed to CVLYs shareholders under applicable law, in each case, with
respect to the Merger; (iii) CVLY has provided ORRF with at least three Business Days prior notice of such determination; and (iv) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to CVLY or any of its
Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to a CVLY Acquisition Proposal, CVLY receives from such Person a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to CVLY than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement. CVLY shall promptly provide to
ORRF any non-public information regarding CVLY or its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person which was not previously provided to ORRF, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such
other party.
(c) CVLY shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify ORRF in writing if any inquiries, proposals or offers are
received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, CVLY or the CVLY Representatives, in each case in connection with any CVLY Acquisition Proposal, and such notice shall
indicate the name of the Person initiating such discussions or negotiations or making such inquiry, proposal, offer or information request and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers and, in the case of written materials
relating to such inquiry, proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussion, providing copies of such materials (including e-mails or other electronic communications). CVLY agrees that it shall keep ORRF informed, on a reasonably
current basis (and in any event within 24 hours), of the status and terms of any material developments with respect to such inquiry, proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including, in each case, any amendments or
modifications thereto). CVLY shall provide ORRF and ORRF Bank with at least 48 hours prior notice of any meeting of the CVLY Board at which the CVLY Board is reasonably expected to consider any CVLY Acquisition Proposal.
(d) Neither the CVLY Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify, amend, modify or withhold, or propose to withdraw,
qualify, amend, modify or withhold, in a manner adverse to ORRF in
57
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), the CVLY Recommendation, fail to reaffirm the CVLY Recommendation within three Business Days following a
request by ORRF, or make any statement, announcement, filing or release, in connection with CVLY Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the CVLY Recommendation (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to a
CVLY Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification of the CVLY Recommendation); (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any CVLY Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) unless this Agreement has been
terminated in accordance with its terms, enter into (or cause CVLY or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (A) related to any CVLY Acquisition Transaction
(other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.5(b)) or (B) requiring CVLY to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this
Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding Section 6.5(d), prior to the receipt of the CVLY Shareholder Approval, the CVLY Board may
withdraw, qualify, amend or modify CVLY Recommendation (a CVLY Subsequent Determination) after the fifth Business Day following ORRFs receipt of a written notice (the CVLY Notice of Superior Proposal) from
CVLY advising ORRF that the CVLY Board has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written CVLY Acquisition Proposal that it received (that did not result from a material breach by CVLY or any CVLY Representative of this Section 6.5)
constitutes a CVLY Superior Proposal if, but only if, (i) the CVLY Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside legal counsel that the failure to take such actions would reasonably
be expected to result in the failure of the CVLY Board to comply with the standard of conduct required of a board of directors under the PBCL or other fiduciary duties owed to CVLYs shareholders under applicable law, in each case, with respect
to the Merger, (ii) during the five Business Day period after receipt of the CVLY Notice of Superior Proposal by ORRF (the CVLY Notice Period), CVLY and the CVLY Board shall have cooperated and negotiated in good faith with
ORRF to make such adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable CVLY to proceed with the CVLY Recommendation without a CVLY Subsequent Determination; provided, however, that ORRF
shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (iii) at the end of CVLY Notice Period, after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended
terms as may have been proposed by ORRF since its receipt of such CVLY Notice of Superior Proposal, the CVLY Board has again in good faith made the determination (A) in clause (i) of this Section 6.5(e) and (B) that such
CVLY Acquisition Proposal constitutes a CVLY Superior Proposal. In the event of any material revisions to the CVLY Superior Proposal, CVLY shall be required to deliver a new CVLY Notice of Superior Proposal to ORRF and again comply with the
requirements of this Section 6.5(e), except that the CVLY Notice Period shall be reduced to three Business Days.
(f)
Notwithstanding any CVLY Subsequent Determination, this Agreement shall be submitted to CVLYs shareholders at the CVLY Meeting for the purpose of voting on, the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the
Merger) and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve CVLY of such obligation; provided, however, that if the CVLY Board shall have made a CVLY Subsequent Determination, then the CVLY Board may submit this Agreement to
CVLYs shareholders without recommendation (although the resolutions adopting this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded), in which event the CVLY Board may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to CVLYs
shareholders in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto. In addition to the foregoing, the CVLY Board shall not submit to the vote of its shareholders any CVLY Acquisition Proposal other than the Merger at
the CVLY Meeting.

expenses are advanced pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.10(a) shall, as a condition of receiving such advances, provide an undertaking if required by CVLYs Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or in the similar
governing documents of CVLYs Subsidiaries or applicable law, as applicable, to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.
(b) Prior to the Effective Time, CVLY shall purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under CVLYs existing directors and
officers liability insurance coverage for CVLYs directors and officers in a form acceptable to CVLY which shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the
61
Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms at least as favorable to, the insured persons than the directors and officers liability insurance
coverage presently maintained by CVLY, so long as the aggregate cost is not more than 300% of the annual premium currently paid by CVLY for such insurance (the Premium Limit). In the event that the Premium Limit is insufficient
for such coverage, CVLY may enter into an agreement to spend up to that amount to purchase such lesser coverage as may be obtained with such amount.
(c) In the event ORRF or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the
continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper
provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of ORRF shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.
(d) The provisions of this Section 6.10 are intended to be for the benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, and shall be
enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.
6.11 Employees and Benefit Plans.
(a) From and for at least the 12-month period after the Effective Time, ORRF agrees to provide the employees of CVLY and any of its
Subsidiaries who remain employed after the Effective Time (collectively, the CVLY Employees) with the following compensation and benefits: (i) a base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, that is no less favorable than the
base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, provided to such CVLY Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) cash incentive compensation opportunities that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the cash incentive
compensation opportunities, in the aggregate, provided to such CVLY Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the employee benefits maintained by ORRF for
similarly-situated employees of ORRF. ORRF will treat, and cause its applicable ORRF Employee Programs to treat, the service of CVLY Employees with CVLY or any of its Subsidiaries as service rendered to ORRF or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes
of eligibility to participate, vesting and for level of benefits (but not for benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan) attributable to any period before the Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing, but subject to the terms and
conditions of the applicable ORRF Employee Programs, ORRF shall cause the CVLY Employees to receive credit for their prior service for eligibility and vesting purposes in ORRFs 401(k) plan and for purposes of determining the length of
vacation, sick time, and paid time off and severance under ORRFs applicable plan or policy. ORRF shall also provide that CVLY Employees shall not be treated as new employees for purposes of any exclusions under any health or
similar plan of ORRF for a pre-existing medical condition to the extent that any such exclusion did not apply under a health or similar plan of CVLY or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations, exclusions, eligibility waiting periods, actively at work requirements, evidence of insurability requirements or required physical examinations under any ORRF Employee Program providing
medical, dental, hospital, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to be waived with respect to CVLY Employees and their spouses and eligible dependents, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that any deductibles, co-payments or
out-of-pocket expenses paid under any of CVLYs or any of its Subsidiaries health plans shall be credited towards deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket expenses under ORRFs health plans upon delivery to ORRF of appropriate
documentation, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable ORRF Employee Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.11, service and other amounts shall not be credited to CVLY Employees (or their
eligible dependents) to the extent the crediting of such service or other amounts would result in the duplication of benefits. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, none of the provisions contained herein shall operate to duplicate
any benefit provided to any CVLY Employee or the funding of any such benefit.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
following the Effective Time, ORRF shall have sole discretion with respect to the determination as to whether or when to terminate, merge or continue any
62
employee benefit plans and programs of CVLY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless a CVLY Employee affirmatively terminates coverage (or causes coverage to terminate) under a CVLY health plan
prior to the time such CVLY Employee becomes eligible to participate in a health plan of ORRF or ORRFs Subsidiary, no coverage of any of CVLY Employees or their dependents shall terminate under any of the CVLY health plans prior to the time
such CVLY Employees and their dependents become eligible to participate in the health plans, programs and benefits common to all employees of ORRF or any ORRF Subsidiary and their dependents.
(c) From and after the Effective Time, ORRF agrees to honor and continue to be obligated to perform, or to cause ORRF Bank and CVLY and its
Subsidiaries to honor and continue to be obligated to perform, in accordance with their terms, all contractual rights of current and former employees of CVLY or any of its Subsidiaries existing as of the Effective Time, including, without
limitation, all employment, change in control, severance and deferred compensation agreements and arrangements listed or described in Schedule 6.11(c) of the CVLY Disclosure Schedule. In addition, concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement, ORRF shall offer an employment agreement to Craig L. Kauffman, a copy of which is contained in Schedule 6.10(c) of the CVLY Disclosure Schedule.
(d) If requested by ORRF no later than 30 days prior to the Closing, CVLY shall terminate its 401(k) plan effective as of the day prior to the
Effective Time (but contingent upon the occurrence thereof) and adopt all required compliance amendments pursuant to written resolutions, the form and substance of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to ORRF. If the CVLY 401(k) plan is
terminated, ORRF agrees to permit participants in the CVLY 401(k) plan who are CVLY Employees to roll over their account balances and outstanding loan balances from such plan to ORRFs 401(k) plan, and such CVLY Employees who satisfy the
eligibility requirements of ORRFs 401(k) plan (taking into account credit for prior years of service with CVLY pursuant to Section 6.11(a), other than for purposes of profit-sharing contribution) shall be eligible to immediately
participate in ORRFs 401(k) plan. Prior to the Closing, ORRF shall take such other actions (including, without limitation, amending ORRFs 401(k) plan) as may be required to effect the foregoing provisions of this
Section 6.11(d).
(e) ORRF agrees to honor the severance guidelines attached as Schedule 6.11(e) of the CVLY Disclosure
Schedule in connection with the termination of employment of any CVLY Employee, other than an employee who is a party to an employment agreement, change in control agreement or other separation agreement that provides a benefit on a termination of
employment, who has a qualifying termination event by CVLY at the request of ORRF as of, or within six (6) months following, the Effective Time. Any such terminated CVLY Employee shall receive the severance payment in such amounts, at such
times, and upon such conditions as set forth on said Schedule.
(f) From the date hereof through the Closing, CVLY shall, and shall cause
its applicable Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, provide ORRF with reasonable access (at reasonable times, upon reasonable notice and in a manner that will not materially interfere with the normal operations of CVLY) to the (i) employees of CVLY
and any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) CVLYs human resources personnel and personnel records (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) for purposes of (A) facilitating an orderly transition of such employees from and after the
Closing, (B) making announcements concerning, and preparing for the consummation of, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (C) engaging, communicating or meeting with and/or presenting to such employees on either an
individual or group basis with respect to matters related to their prospective continued employment with ORRF on and after the Closing. CVLY and ORRF shall use reasonable best efforts to consult with each other, and will consider in good faith each
others advice, prior to sending any notices or other communication materials to the employees of CVLY and its Subsidiaries regarding this Agreement, the Merger or the effects thereof on the employment, compensation or benefits of such
employees and, in any case, any such notice or communication materials shall comply with applicable law.
(g) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.11 shall (i) be treated as an amendment of any particular Employee Program or any other employee benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement or (ii) give any third
party, including any CVLY Employee, any former employee of CVLY or
63
any of its Subsidiaries or any beneficiary representative thereof, any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.11. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to
(x) confer upon any CVLY Employee or any other Person any right to continued employment after the Effective Time or (y) prevent ORRF or any of its Affiliates from amending, modifying or terminating any Employee Program or any other
employee benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement.
(h) Within 45 days after the date of this Agreement, CVLY shall
designate, in mutual agreement with ORRF, certain employees of CVLY and CVLY Bank who shall remain employed by CVLY and CVLY Bank as of the Closing Date and/or through a post-Closing transition period through certain dates following the Effective
Time and such employees may be eligible to receive retention bonuses. The amount, allocation and timing of payment of each such bonus will be determined by CVLY, in mutual agreement with ORRF. Neither party shall communicate the amounts considered
for individual retention bonuses with the affected employees until such amounts are finally determined.
(i) Within 45 days after the date
of this Agreement, ORRF shall designate, in mutual agreement with CVLY, certain employees of ORRF and ORRF Bank who shall remain employed by ORRF and ORRF Bank as of the Closing Date and/or through a post-Closing transition period through certain
dates following the Effective Time and such employees may be eligible to receive retention bonuses. The amount, allocation and timing of payment of each such bonus will be determined by ORRF, in mutual agreement with CVLY. Neither party shall
communicate the amounts considered for individual retention bonuses with the affected employees until such amounts are finally determined.
6.12 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of ORRF and CVLY shall give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance
known to it that (a) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any condition set forth in Article VII not being satisfied, or (b) notwithstanding the
standards set forth in Section 9.1, would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein. No such notice by ORRF or CVLY shall affect or be deemed to modify or

CVLY Voting Agreement
CVLY VOTING AGREEMENT
VOTING AGREEMENT (Agreement), dated as of December 12, 2023, by and between Orrstown Financial Services, Inc.,
a Pennsylvania corporation (ORRF), and the undersigned holder (Shareholder) of common stock, par value $2.50 per share (CVLY Common Stock), of Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania
corporation (the CVLY).
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, ORRF and CVLY have entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as such agreement may be subsequently amended or modified, the Merger Agreement), providing for the merger of CVLY with and into ORRF (the Merger).
WHEREAS, the Shareholder beneficially owns (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) the number of shares of CVLY Common Stock and has sole, and otherwise unrestricted, voting and investment power with respect to such shares (the Shares),
indicated opposite the Shareholders name on Schedule 1 attached hereto (as used herein, the terms Shares means all shares of CVLY Common Stock, whether such shares of CVLY Common Stock are held by the Shareholder on the date
of this Agreement or are subsequently acquired prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 2 herein));
WHEREAS, it is
a condition to the willingness of ORRF to enter into the Merger Agreement that the Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger
Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements contained
herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Shareholder and ORRF agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Vote Shares. The Shareholder agrees that, prior to the Expiration Date, at any meeting of the shareholders of CVLY, or
any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in connection with any written consent of the shareholders of CVLY, with respect to the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger) or any CVLY Acquisition
Proposal, the Shareholder shall:
|
(a) |
appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of
calculating a quorum; and |
|
(b) |
vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver a written consent (or cause a consent to be delivered) covering, all of
the Shares that such Shareholder shall be entitled to so vote (i) in favor of approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any
material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty, or any other obligation or agreement of CVLY contained in the Merger Agreement or of the Shareholder contained in this Agreement, or that would preclude fulfillment of a condition under
the Merger Agreement to CVLYs and ORRFs respective obligations to consummate the Merger; and (iii) against any CVLY Acquisition Proposal, or any agreement or transaction that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede,
interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect the consummation of the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. |
Any such vote shall be cast or consent shall be given in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes
of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote or consent.
2. Expiration Date. As
used in this Agreement, the term Expiration Date shall mean the earliest to occur of (i) the receipt of CVLY Shareholder Approval, (ii) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be
A-1
terminated pursuant to Article VIII thereof, or (iii) upon mutual written agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, no
party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that such termination or expiration shall not relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement prior to the termination
or expiration hereof.
3. Subsequently Acquired Shares; Agreement to Retain Shares. The Shareholder agrees that any Shares of CVLY
Common Stock which are acquired after the date of this Agreement and prior to CVLY shareholder meeting (whether by the exercise of any stock options or warrants, the vesting of any restricted stock unit awards, or purchases in the open market,
privately or otherwise) shall be bound by and subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Shareholder shall not, except as contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise
dispose of (including, without limitation, by the creation of a lien, claim, charge or other encumbrance or restriction of any kind whatsoever), any Shares, (b) enter into any contract, option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding
with respect to the sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of, any Shares, (c) deposit any Shares in a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or similar agreement with respect to any Shares or grant any proxy or power of
attorney with respect thereto other than in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (d) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Shareholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the
effect of preventing or disabling the Shareholder from performing the Shareholders obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shareholder may make (a) transfers of Shares by will or by operation of law, in which
case this Agreement shall bind the transferee, (b) transfers of Shares in connection with estate and charitable planning purposes, including transfers to relatives, trusts and charitable organizations, subject to the transferee agreeing in
writing to be bound by the terms of, and perform the obligations of the Shareholder under, this Agreement, (c) transfers pursuant to any pledge agreement, subject to the pledgee agreeing in writing, prior to such transfer, to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement, (d) the disposition or surrender of Shares in connection with the vesting, settlement or exercise of equity rights as permitted by the Merger Agreement, (e) to any immediate family member of the undersigned, or to
a trust for the benefit of the undersigned or his or her immediate family members or upon the undersigneds death, subject to the transferee agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of, and perform the obligations of the Shareholder under,
this Agreement, (f) to any other shareholder of CVLY who has executed a copy of this Agreement on the date hereof, and (g) as ORRF may otherwise agree in writing in its sole discretion.
4. Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Except as disclosed on Schedule 1 hereto, the Shareholder
hereby represents and warrants to ORRF as follows:
|
(a) |
the Shareholder has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform the
Shareholders obligations hereunder; |
|
(b) |
this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and (assuming this Agreement constitutes
a valid and binding agreement of ORRF) is a valid and legally binding agreement with respect to the Shareholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors rights or by general equity principles); |
|
(c) |
the Shareholder beneficially owns the number of Shares indicated opposite such Shareholders name on
Schedule 1. |
5. No Solicitation. From and after the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the
Shareholder, in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of CVLY, shall not, nor shall such Shareholder in such capacity authorize any partner, officer, director, advisor or representative of, such Shareholder or any of his, her or its affiliates,
other than CVLY in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, to (and, to the extent applicable to the Shareholder, such Shareholder shall use reasonable best efforts to prevent any of his, her or its representatives or
A-2
affiliates, other than CVLY in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, to) (a) initiate, solicit, induce or knowingly encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of,
any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an CVLY Acquisition Proposal, (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any CVLY Acquisition Proposal, or furnish, or otherwise
afford access, to any person (other than ORRF) any information or data with respect to CVLY or its Subsidiary or otherwise relating to an CVLY Acquisition Proposal, (c) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with
respect to an CVLY Acquisition Proposal, (d) solicit proxies or become a participant in a solicitation (as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) with respect to an CVLY Acquisition Proposal
(other than the Merger Agreement) or otherwise encourage or assist any party in taking or planning any action that would compete with, restrain or otherwise serve to interfere with or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger in accordance with
the terms of the Merger Agreement, (e) initiate a shareholders vote or action by consent of CVLYs shareholders with respect to an CVLY Acquisition Proposal, or (f) except by reason of this Agreement, become a member of a
group (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of CVLY that takes any action in support of an CVLY Acquisition Proposal.
6. Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was
not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to specific relief hereunder, including, without limitation, an injunction or injunctions to prevent and enjoin
breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in any state or federal court located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law
or in equity. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with respect to any such remedy are hereby waived.
7. No
Waivers. No waivers of any breach of this Agreement extended by ORRF to the Shareholder shall be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies of ORRF with respect to any other shareholder of CVLY who has executed an agreement substantially in
the form of this Agreement with respect to Shares owned by such shareholder or with respect to any subsequent breach of the shareholder or any other such shareholder of CVLY. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either party shall be deemed a
waiver of any other provisions hereof by any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.
8. Capacity as Shareholder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the covenants and agreements set forth herein shall not
have any effect on the ability of the Shareholder to exercise his or her duties as a director or officer of CVLY, while acting in such capacity as a director or officer of CVLY. The Shareholder is
executing this Agreement solely in his or her capacity as a shareholder of CVLY.
9. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended,
supplemented or modified, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by each party hereto.
10. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced
by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any
manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
A-3
12. Effect of Headings. The section headings herein are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
13. Public Disclosure. The Shareholder shall not issue any
press release or any public statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, without the prior consent of ORRF. The Shareholder hereby
permits ORRF to publish and disclose in any document and/or schedule filed by ORRF with the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other applicable Governmental Authority such Shareholders identity and ownership of Shares and the nature of
such Shareholders commitments and obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
14. Assignment. This Agreement may not be assigned
by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, ORRF may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Subsidiary wholly owned by
it. All of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the respective parties and their permitted successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives,
as the case may be.
15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without
giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to and submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and of the United States of America
located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the Pennsylvania Courts) for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such
litigation in the Pennsylvania Courts and agree not to plead or claim in any Pennsylvania Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum.
16. Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby waive any right to trial by jury with respect to any action or proceeding related
to or arising out of this Agreement, any document executed in connection herewith and the matters contemplated hereby and thereby.
17.
No Agreement Until Executed. Irrespective of negotiations among the parties or the exchanging of drafts of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute or be deemed to evidence a contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding

limit further the liability of Directors (or limit the liability of officers) or to provide broader indemnification rights or rights to the advancement of expenses than the corporation was permitted to provide prior to such change, then liability

3
3.4 Vacation and Leave. Executive shall be entitled to annual paid vacation, leave of

Deferred Compensation Agreement.
ARTICLE IV. Termination of Employment.
4.1 Voluntary Termination or Age 65 Retirement. In the event Executives employment is voluntarily terminated by the
Executive other than for Good Reason (as defined in Section 4.2), the Employer shall not thereafter be obligated to make any further payments hereunder other than amounts (including salary, expense reimbursement, and employee benefits) accrued
under this Agreement as of the date of such termination in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Except as otherwise provided herein, Executives employment shall, if not terminated prior thereto, terminate within thirty
(30) calendar days following Executives
4
attainment of age 65 (Retirement Date); provided, however, the date of such employment termination may be delayed for a period not to exceed one year thereafter upon the
approval by the Board of a postponement of such retirement date and a written acceptance of such postponement by Executive not less than 120 days prior to such earlier date. Further, the parties may agree to additional one year postponements of such
Retirement Date upon mutual written agreement annually thereafter. In the event Executives employment terminates due to Executives retirement upon attaining age 65, the Employer shall be obligated to pay Executive: (a) an amount
equal to six (6) months Base Salary payable during such six-month period in accordance with the Employers normal payroll processing intervals at the rate in effect immediately prior to the
date of termination, (b) a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to 150% of the Employers actual premium cost of providing group term life insurance coverage to Executive for the three year period following Executives termination
date, payable within thirty (30) days after Executives termination date, and (c) applicable expense reimbursements and all accrued and unpaid benefits and vested benefits in accordance with the applicable employee benefit plans. Upon
making the payments described in this Section 4.1, the Employer shall have no further compensation obligation to Executive hereunder.
4.2 Termination by Executive for Good Reason: Termination by the Employer Without Cause.
(a) In the event:
(i) Executives employment is terminated during the term hereof by Executive for Good Reason (as defined herein); or
(ii) Executives employment is terminated during the term hereof by the Employer for any reason other than Cause (as
defined herein):
then the Employer shall pay Executive, subject to Section 6.13, his Base Salary in effect upon the date of his
termination and an amount equal to the average annual cash bonus awarded to Executive over the past three calendar years preceding the calendar year in which Executives termination of employment is effective (exclusive of any election to defer
receipt of compensation Executive may have made) in accordance with the Employers normal payroll processing intervals for the duration equal to the greater of (A) six (6) months following such termination or (B) the remaining
duration of the Employment Period. Executive shall also continue to be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans referred to in Section 3.2 for a period of six (6) months (continuing to pay the employee portion of the premium
costs for the active plan). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable rules and regulations under Federal or Pennsylvania law prohibit the Employer from providing Executive with the post-termination group health or other benefits coverage, or
if providing such coverage would subject the Employer or Executive to penalties or excise taxes, then the Employer shall continue to pay to Executive the monthly amount equal to the COBRA (as defined below) premium amount being paid by its former
employees who are eligible for such COBRA participation or other benefits coverage continuation, but the Employer shall not be required to provide Executive with enrollment and participation in the actual plans
5
in which the Employers employees are actually enrolled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of ongoing coverage under the group term life insurance program, the Employer shall pay
Executive an amount equal to 150% of the Employers actual premium cost of providing group term life insurance coverage to Executive for the three year period following Executives termination date, which amount shall be payable in a lump
sum payment within sixty (60) days after Executives termination date if Executives termination is after the two (2) year anniversary of the Effective Date, or in substantially equal monthly installments over the three
(3) year period following Executives termination date if Executives termination is on or prior to the two (2) year anniversary of the Effective Date. If Executive is unable to continue to participate in any employee benefit
plan or program provided for under this Agreement, Executive shall be compensated in respect of such inability to participate for a period of six (6) months through payment by the Employer to Executive, of an amount equal to the cost that would
have been incurred by the Employer if Executive were able to participate in such plan or program (less the employee portion of the premium costs for the active plan) plus an amount which, when added to the Employer annual cost to the Employer, would
be sufficient after Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes (based on the tax returns filed by Executive most recently prior to the date of termination) to enable Executive to net an amount equal to the Employer annual cost to the
Employer. The period of continued health coverage required by Section 4980(B)(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (COBRA) shall run concurrently with the coverage provided herein.
In addition to the foregoing, in the event Executives employment is terminated by Executive for Good Reason or by the Employer for any
reason other than Cause, all of Executives unvested and outstanding awards shall become immediately vested and exercisable as of the date of such termination or resignation.
(b) As used herein, Executive shall have Good Reason to terminate his employment if one of the following
conditions (i) through (iii) comes into existence, Executive provides notice to the Employer of the existence of the condition within 90 days of its initial existence, the Employer fails to remedy the condition within 30 days of receiving
notice of its existence, and Executive resigns within two years of the initial existence of the Good Reason condition:
(i)
There has occurred a material breach of the Employers material obligations under this Agreement by the Employer;
(ii) The Employer, without Executives prior written consent, changes or attempts to change in any material respect the
authority, duties, Base Salary, compensation, incentive compensation, benefits or other terms or conditions of Executives employment, or Executives reporting structure, in a manner that is adverse to Executive;
(iii) The Employer requires Executive to relocate his principal business location 75 miles or more from Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania;

individual serving as the Employers President and Chief Executive Officer by June 1, 2025.
4.3 Termination for Cause.
Executives employment hereunder shall terminate immediately upon final notice of termination for Cause (as defined herein) indicating that the Board has duly made such a determination, in which event the Employer shall not thereafter be
obligated to make any further payments hereunder other than amounts (including salary, expense reimbursement, and employee benefits) accrued under this Agreement as of the date of such termination in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. As used herein, Cause shall mean the following:
(a) the issuance of a final cease-and-desist order by a state or federal agency having jurisdiction over the Employer or any entity which controls the Employer to the extent such cease-and-desist order requires the termination of Executives employment;
(b) Executives willful or reckless failure to substantially perform the duties of his position (for reasons other than
incapacity due to accident or physical or mental illness);
(c) a material breach by Executive of any provision of this
Agreement;
(d) Executive engages in (and completes) acts satisfying all of the elements of a misdemeanor involving moral

30 days following the receipt by Executive of written notice form the Employer setting forth in detail the facts upon which the Employer relies in concluding that sufficient grounds for Cause termination exist.
7
4.4 Benefits Following Death or Disability.
(a) Following Executives total disability (Disability, as defined below) or death during the term of
this Agreement, the employment of the Executive will terminate automatically, in which event the Bank shall not thereafter be obligated to make any further payments hereunder other than amounts (including salary, expense reimbursement, and employee
benefits) accrued under this Agreement or accrued or vested under the terms of any employee benefit plan, or incentive and/or equity based long term incentive plan as of the date of such termination in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles or as otherwise specifically provided herein. For purposes hereof, Disability shall mean that Executive, by reason of a medically determinable physical or medical impairment that can be expected to result in death or
expected to last for a continuous period of at least twelve months, (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity or (ii) has received income replacement benefits for a period of at least three months under an accident or

active plan) and assuming an annual 10% increase in the amount of such COBRA premium over the applicable periods of time described in this sentence. The period of continued health coverage required by COBRA shall run concurrently with the coverage
provided herein. Executives dependents, beneficiaries and estate, as the case may be, will also receive such survivors income and other benefits as they may be entitled under the terms of the benefit programs, plans, and arrangements
described in Section 3.2 which provide benefits upon the death of Executive.
(ii) In the event of a termination of
this Agreement as a result of the Executives Disability, (A) the Employer shall pay Executive a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to six (6) months Base Salary at the rate and as required by Section 3.1 and in
effect immediately prior to the date of Disability, together with a lump sum payment in an amount equal to 100% of the premium cost of COBRA continuation coverage under the applicable health plan of the Employer or its affiliates pursuant to Code

applicable periods of time described in this sentence. The Employer shall also pay Executive a lump sum payment within thirty (30) days after Executives termination date equal to 150% of the Employers actual premium cost of
providing group term life insurance coverage to Executive for the three year period following Executives date of Disability and (B) thereafter for as long as Executive continues to be disabled, the Employer shall continue to pay an amount
equal to at least 60% of Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the date of Disability until the earlier of Executives death or December 31 of the calendar year in which Executive attains age 65, reduced by any disability payments
from any Employer provided disability insurance plans or programs and any benefits payments received from the Federal Social Security or applicable state disability benefits programs; and (C), to the extent not duplicative of the foregoing,
Executive shall receive those benefits customarily provided by the Employer to disabled former employees, which benefits may include, but shall not be limited to, life, medical, health, accident insurance and a survivors income benefit. The

termination of employment pursuant to Section 4.2 shall not affect Executives right, or if applicable, the right of Executives beneficiaries, to receive the payments for the balance of the period described in Section 4.2, nor

which were suspended. If Executive is removed or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Employers, or any of its affiliates, business affairs by an order issued by the FDIC or SEC, or equivalent provisions

5.2 Intellectual Property Rights. Executive agrees that all literary work, copyrightable material or other proprietary information or
materials developed by Executive during the term of this Agreement and relating to, or capable of being used or adopted for use in, the business of the Employer or any Affiliates shall inure to and be the property of the Employer and Affiliates and
must be promptly disclosed to the Employer. Employee hereby transfers and assigns to Employer all rights in and to such Intellectual Property. Both during employment by the Employer and thereafter, Executive shall, at the expense of the Employer,
execute such documents and do such things as the Employer reasonably may request to enable the Employer or their nominee (i) to apply for copyright or equivalent protection in the United States, Canada and elsewhere for any literary work
hereinabove referred in this paragraph, or (ii) to be vested with any such copyright protection in the United States, Canada and elsewhere.
5.3 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.
(a) Executive shall not, during the Employment Period and for a Restricted Period (as defined below) after Executive ceases to
be employed by or provide service to Employer, directly or indirectly, be or become an officer, owner, shareholder, general or limited partner, director or employee or agent of, or a consultant to, or give financial or other assistance to, any
person or entity considering engaging in commercial banking or the provision of financial products or services, or is so engaged, within a seventy-five (75) mile radius from any office, branch or other facility (other than solely an ATM) of
Employer existing at the time Executive ceases to be employed by the Employer (a Competing Business); provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from owning, as a passive investor, in the aggregate not more
than 5% of the outstanding publicly traded stock of any corporation so engaged. This restriction shall be limited to Executives employment or engagement in a position that is similar to Executives role with the Employer or in a position
that could allow Executive to compete with the Employer or aid a Competing Business in competing with the Employer. Restricted Period shall mean the longer of (i) six (6) months or (ii) the length of time Executive is to
receive payments under this Agreement (or any applicable Change in Control Agreement); provided, however, that the period under (ii) above shall not exceed twenty-four (24) months.
(b) Executive shall not, during the Employment Period and for a period of twelve (12) months after Executive ceases to be
employed by or provide services to Employer, directly or indirectly:
(i) seek, in competition with the business of the
Employer, to do business with any customer of the Employer or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or solicit on behalf of a competitor any prospective customers, or divert or attempt to divert away from the Employer or its subsidiaries or affiliates,
the business of any customer or other business entity with which the Employer or its subsidiaries or affiliates, did business;
11
(ii) solicit or contact any person who is an employee of the Employer or its
subsidiaries or affiliates, with a view to the engagement or employment of such person by a third party, or cause any person who is an employee of the Employer to terminate his or her employment for the purpose of joining or becoming employed by a
third party;
(c) seek to contract with or engage (in such a way as to adversely affect or interfere with the business of
the Employer or its subsidiaries or affiliates) any person or entity who has been contracted with or engaged to provide goods or services to the Employer or its subsidiaries or affiliates; or
(d) engage in or participate in any effort or act to induce any of the customers, associates, consultants, or employees of the
Employer to take any action which might be disadvantageous to the Employer or its subsidiaries or affiliates;
provided, however, (i) that nothing
herein shall prohibit Executive and Executives affiliates from owning, as passive investors, in the aggregate not more than 10% of the outstanding publicly traded stock of any corporation so engaged and (ii) the non-competition covenants in this Section 5.3(a) shall only apply in the event Executives employment is terminated by Executive with or without Good Reason or by the Employer other than for Cause. For
purposes of this Agreement, (i) a customer means any person or entity that Executive knew or should have known to have had a customer relationship with the Employer at any time during the preceding three (3) years or, if
Executives employment with the Employer has terminated, during the last three years of Executives employment; and (ii) a prospective customer means any person or entity that was a prospect to have a customer
relationship with the Employer that was identified through leads developed during the preceding three (3) years or, if Executives employment with the Employer has terminated, the last three (3) years of Executives employment
with the Employer.
For the purpose of Sections 5.2 and 5.3, the Employer shall be deemed to refer to the Employer and all of their present or future
affiliates.
5.4 Injunctive and Other Relief.
(a) Executive acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained herein are fair and reasonable in light of the additional
consideration paid hereunder, which Executive acknowledges is adequate and sufficient consideration, and that damages alone shall not be an adequate remedy for any breach by Executive of Executives covenants which then apply and accordingly
expressly agrees that, in addition to any other remedies which the Employer may have, the Employer shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for any breach or threatened breach of any such covenants by
Executive without the requirement of posting a bond. Nothing contained herein shall prevent or delay the Employer from seeking, in any court of competent jurisdiction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in the event of any breach or
intended breach by Executive of any of its obligations hereunder.
12
(b) In the event Executive breaches Executives obligations under
Section 5.3, the period specified therein shall be tolled during the period of any such breach and any litigation seeking remedies for such breach and shall resume upon the conclusion or termination of any such breach and any such litigation.
The remedies set forth in this Section are cumulative and in addition to any and all other remedies available to the Employer at law or in equity.
(c) In addition to other remedies contained in this Agreement to which the Employer may be entitled, the Employer shall receive
attorneys fees and any other expenses incident to the maintenance of any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement if such litigation is concluded or terminated, in whole or in part, in the Employers favor.
5.5 Disclosure. Executive agrees to disclose the restrictive covenants contained in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of this Agreement to any
prospective employer prior to employment with the prospective employer both during his employment by the Employer and for a period of one (1) year following termination of employment with the Employer.
5.6 Clawback. Executive acknowledges that the Executive is subject to any clawback policy that has been or may be adopted by the Board,
including without limitation, that certain Compensation Recovery Policy.
5.7 Protected Disclosures. Nothing contained in this
Agreement, any other agreement between Executive and either Orrstown or the Bank or any Orrstown or Bank policy or code limits Executives ability, with or without notice to Orrstown or the Bank, to (i) communicate with any federal, state
or local governmental agency or commission (a Government Agency) or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including by providing
non-privileged documents or information, without notice to Orrstown or the Bank; or (ii) testify truthfully in a legal proceeding. Any such communications and disclosures must be consistent with
applicable law and the information disclosed must not have been obtained through a communication that was subject to the attorney-client privilege (unless disclosure of that information would otherwise be permitted consistent with such privilege or
applicable law). In addition, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made
(i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a
complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
ARTICLE VI.
Miscellaneous.
6.1 Invalidity. If any provision hereof is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, Executive shall negotiate in good faith to provide the Employer with protection as nearly equivalent to that found to be invalid or unenforceable and if any such provision shall be so determined to be invalid or unenforceable by reason
of the duration or geographical scope of the covenants contained therein, such duration or geographical scope, or both, shall be considered to be reduced to a duration or geographical scope to the extent necessary to cure such invalidity.
13
6.2 Assignment: Benefit. This Agreement shall not be assignable by Executive, and
shall be assignable by the Employer only to any affiliate or to any person or entity which may become a successor in interest (by purchase of assets or stock, or by merger, or otherwise) to the Employer in the business or a portion of the business
presently operated by it. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the rights and obligations set forth herein shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and each of their respective permitted successors, assigns,

6.4 Entire Agreement and Modification. This Agreement and the Change of Control Agreement between the parties, of even date herewith,
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters contemplated herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect thereto, including the Codorus Employment Agreement. Any amendment,
modification, or waiver of this Agreement shall not be effective unless in writing and agreed and executed by the Employer and Executive. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege
shall preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any occurrence and such failure or delay to exercise any right shall be construed as a waiver of any right, remedy, power, or
privilege with respect to any other occurrence.
6.5 Governing Law, Forum. This Agreement is made pursuant to, and shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (and United States federal law, to the extent applicable), without giving effect to otherwise applicable principles of conflicts of law. Any claims or legal
actions by one party against another shall be commenced and maintained in the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania or the federal District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, and both parties submit to the jurisdiction
and venue of any such court.
6.6 Headings; Counterparts. The headings of sections and subsections in this Agreement are for
convenience only and shall not affect its interpretation. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute but one and
the same Agreement.
6.7 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall execute such further instruments and take such other
actions as any other party shall reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
6.8 Attorneys Fees
and Related Expenses. All reasonable attorneys fees and related expenses incurred by Executive in connection with or relating to the review and negotiation of this Agreement or, if Executive prevails in connection with enforcing
Executives rights under this Agreement, the enforcement by Executive of Executives rights under this Agreement, shall be paid in full by the Employer.
6.9 Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in Section 4 herein
or pursuant to the Change in Control Agreement by seeking employment or otherwise and shall not be entitled to set-off against the amount of any payments made pursuant to Section 4 herein or pursuant to
the Change in Control Agreement with respect to any compensation earned by Executive arising from other employment.
15
6.10 Indemnification. Except to the extent inconsistent with the Employers
certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the Employer will indemnify the Executive and hold Executive harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law with respect to Executives service as an officer and employee of the Employer and its
subsidiaries, which indemnification shall be provided following termination of employment for so long as Executive may have liability with respect to Executives service as an officer or employee of the Employer and its subsidiaries. The
Executive will be covered by a directors and officers insurance policy with respect to Executives acts as an officer to the same extent as all other officers of the Employer under such policies.
6.11 409A Safe Harbor.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Employer be obligated to commence payment
or distribution to Executive of any amount that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A (Section 409A) earlier than the earliest permissible date under
Section 409A that such amount could be paid without additional taxes or interest being imposed under Section 409A. The Employer and Executive intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A. To the
extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A. The Employer and Executive agree
that they will execute any and all amendments to this Agreement as they mutually agree in good faith may be necessary to ensure compliance with the distribution provisions of Section 409A. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in
the event Executive is to receive a payment of compensation hereunder that is on account of a separation from service, such payment is subject to the provisions of Section 409A, and Executive is a specified employee of the Employer
(as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code), then payment shall not be made before the date that is six months after the date of separation from service (or, if earlier than the end of the six month period, the date of
Executives death). Amounts otherwise payable on an installment basis during such six month period, shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month, and the balance of any installments shall be payable in
accordance with the original schedule. To the extent any payments under this Agreement are payable in installments, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation §
1.409A-2(b)(2).
(b) All in-kind benefits
provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Employer or incurred by Executive during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively
practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or
reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other
aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
16
(c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement
constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon Executives termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon
Executives separation from service. The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section § 1.409A-1(h).
(d) The Employer makes no representation or warranty and shall have no
liability to Executive or any other person if any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensations subject to Section 409A but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, Section 409A.
6.12 Non-Disparagement: Subject to Section 5.7 above, upon and at all times following the
termination of Executives employment, Executive shall not malign, criticize or otherwise disparage Orrstown, the Bank or any of their affiliates or any of their respective officers, employees or directors.
6.13 Release. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any severance or termination payments or benefits described are
conditioned on Executives execution and delivery to the Employer of a separation agreement that includes, among other things, an effective general release of claims and non-disparagement agreement in a
form prescribed by the Employer (the Release) and in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act and any applicable state law, becoming effective by the 60th day following the Executives separation from service (or such shorter period set forth within such Release). Such payments will commence following the date the Release becomes effective,
provided that if the 60-day period spans two calendar years, the payments will commence in the second calendar year; provided, further, that the initial payment shall include a
catch-up payment to cover amounts retroactive to the day immediately following the termination date.
6.14 Other Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit Executives right to (a) payment or reimbursement for
welfare benefit claims incurred prior to the cessation of his/her employment under any group insurance plan, policy or arrangement of the Employer in accordance with the terms of such plan, policy or arrangement (b) elect COBRA benefits in
accordance with the applicable law, or (c) receive a distribution of vested accrued benefits from any employee pension benefit plan in accordance with the terms of that plan.
6.15 Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties agree that Executives obligations under
Article 5 of this Agreement shall continue despite the expiration of the term of this Agreement or its termination.

Exhibit 10.2
CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT
This Change in Control Agreement (Agreement) is entered into as of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement (as defined below) (the Effective Date), by and among Orrstown Financial Services, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (Orrstown), Orrstown Bank, a bank and trust company organized under the
Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965 and a wholly owned subsidiary of Orrstown (the Bank) (Orrstown and the Bank are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Employer) and Craig L. Kauffman, an adult individual
(Executive).
BACKGROUND
Executive is currently employed with Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (Codorus) and PeoplesBank, a
Codorus Valley Company, a Pennsylvania banking institution (PeoplesBank), pursuant to that certain Employment Agreement by and among the Executive, Codorus and PeoplesBank, dated August 6, 2018, as amended September 14,
2021 (the Codorus Employment Agreement). Orrstown has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 12, 2023, by and between Codorus and Orrstown (the Merger Agreement), and the Employer and
Executive have entered into that certain Employment Agreement, effective as the Effective Date (the Employment Agreement) which is incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement and is intended to supersede and
replace the Codorus Employment Agreement upon the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In connection therewith, the Employer and Executive also desire to enter into this Change in Control Agreement to
provide certain rights and benefits to Executive in the event of any change in control of Orrstown.
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. Term of Agreement
1.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a term of five (5) years;
provided, however, that the term shall automatically extend for additional consecutive one (1)-year periods on each anniversary of the Effective Date unless either party gives written notice of nonrenewal to the other at least sixty
(60) days prior to such anniversary. References in the Agreement to the Term shall refer to the initial five-year term of this Agreement and any extensions thereof.
ARTICLE II. Payments in Connection with a Change in Control.
2.1 Definitions.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur if:
(i) any Person, as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Act) (other than Orrstown, the Bank, any of its or their subsidiaries, or any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities under any employee benefit plan or
trust of Orrstown, the Bank or any of its or their subsidiaries), together with all affiliates and associates (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Act) of such person,
shall become the beneficial owner (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Orrstown representing 40 percent or more of the combined
voting power of Orrstowns then outstanding securities having the right to vote in an election of Orrstowns Board of Directors (Voting Securities) (in such case other than as a result of an acquisition of securities
directly from Orrstown or in connection with a public offering); or
(ii) persons who, as of the date hereof, constitute
the Board of Directors of Orrstown or the Bank (the Incumbent Directors) cease for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a
majority of either the Board of Directors of Orrstown or the Bank, provided that any person becoming a director of Orrstown or the Bank subsequent to the date hereof shall be considered an Incumbent Director if such persons election was
approved by or such person was nominated for election by either (A) a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors of the applicable entity or (B) a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors of the applicable entity
who are members of a nominating committee comprised, in the majority, of Incumbent Directors; but provided further, that any such person whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to
the election of members of the Board of Directors of Orrstown or the Bank or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of Directors of Orrstown or the Bank, including by reason of
agreement intended to avoid or settle any such actual or threatened contest or solicitation, shall not be considered an Incumbent Director; or
(iii) the consummation of (A) any consolidation or merger of Orrstown or the Bank where the stockholders of Orrstown
immediately prior to the consolidation or merger, would not, immediately after the consolidation or merger, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act), directly or indirectly,
shares representing in the aggregate more than 50 percent of the voting shares of the company issuing cash or securities in the consolidation or merger (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if any), or (B) any sale, lease, exchange or
other transfer (in one transaction or a series of transactions contemplated or arranged by any party as a single plan) of all or substantially all of the assets of Orrstown or the Bank;.
provided, however, that such event is also a change in control within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and
Treasury Regulations issued thereunder.
2
Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 2.1(a)(i), a Change in Control shall
not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by Orrstown that, by reducing the number of shares of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares of
Voting Securities beneficially owned by any Person to 40 percent or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that if any Person referred to in this sentence shall thereafter become the
beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction or as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from Orrstown) and immediately thereafter
beneficially owns 40 percent or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding Voting Securities, then a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing Section 2.1(a)(i).
(b) A Change in Control Period shall mean the period commencing at the effective time of a Change in Control
and ending on the second anniversary of the date of such Change in Control.
(c) Other capitalized terms herein which are
not otherwise defined, shall have such meaning as defined in the Employment Agreement.
2.2 Amount of Payments. Except as provided
in Section 2.2(d), and in lieu of amounts payable under Article IV of the Employment Agreement, the Employer will pay Executive the amounts specified and will provide the benefits specified in the circumstances below in connection with a Change
in Control.
(a) If Executives employment is terminated by the Employer without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason
during the Change in Control Period, the Employer will pay, or cause to be paid, to Executive:
(i) an amount equal to 2.99
times the sum of (A) the Base Salary immediately before the Change in Control and (B) the highest annual cash bonus and/or other incentive compensation awarded to Executive over the past three (3) years in which cash bonus or other
incentive compensation was awarded (all exclusive of any election to defer receipt of compensation Executive may have made); and
(ii) an amount (the Unvested Company Contribution) equal to that portion, if any, of the Employers
contribution to Executives 401(k), profit sharing, deferred compensation or other similar individual account plan which is not vested as of the date of termination of Executives employment (the Date of Termination),
plus an amount which, when added to the Unvested Company Contribution, would be sufficient after Federal, state and local income taxes (based on the tax returns filed by Executive most recently prior to the Date of Termination) to enable Executive
to net an amount equal to the Unvested Company Contribution.
Such payments shall be made in one lump sum subject to and in accordance
with Section 3.12 of this Agreement.
(b) Except as provided in Section 2.2(d), if Executives employment is
terminated by Employer without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason during the Change in Control Period:
3
(i) The Employer shall provide Executive with health (medical, dental and
vision) and disability coverage substantially comparable to the coverage Executive was receiving from the Employer immediately prior to the Date of Termination for a period of two (2) years after the Date of Termination (the Coverage
Period). Executive shall pay the same percentage of the total cost of coverage under the applicable employee benefit plans as Executive was paying when Executives employment terminated. The total cost of Executives continued
coverage shall be determined using the same rates for health and/or disability coverage that apply from time to time to similarly situated active employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable rules and regulations under Federal or
Pennsylvania law prohibit the Employer from providing Executive with the post-termination group health or other benefits coverage, or if providing such coverage would subject the Employer or Executive to penalties or excise taxes, then the Employer
shall continue to pay to Executive the monthly amount equal to the COBRA (as defined below) premium amount being paid by its former employees who are eligible for such COBRA participation or other benefits coverage continuation, but the Employer
shall not be required to provide Executive with enrollment and participation in the actual plans in which the Employers employees are actually enrolled. For any portion of the Coverage Period during which health plan coverage or disability
insurance coverage, or both, is or are not available under insured plans covering employees of the Employer, Executive shall be compensated in respect of such inability to participate through payment by the Employer to Executive, of an amount equal
to the cost that would have been incurred by the Employer if Executive were able to participate in such plan or program (less the employee portion of the premium costs for the active plan) plus an amount which, when added to the Employer annual cost
to the Employer, would be sufficient after Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes (based on the tax returns filed by Executive most recently prior to the date of termination) to enable the Executive to net an amount equal to the Employer
annual cost to the Employer.
(ii) In lieu of ongoing coverage under the Employers group term life insurance program,
the Employer shall pay Executive an amount equal to 150 percent of the Employers actual premium cost of providing group term life insurance coverage to Executive for the three year period following Employees termination of
employment date. If the Date of Termination is on or prior to the two (2) year anniversary of the Effective Date, then such amounts shall be paid in substantially equal monthly installments over the three (3) year period following the Date
of Termination. If the Date of Termination is after the two (2) year anniversary of the Effective Date, then such amounts shall be paid in a lump sum payment within sixty (60) days after the Date of Termination in accordance with
Section 3.12 of this Agreement.
(iii) The Employer shall pay to Executive, in a single lump sum as soon as
practicable after Executives termination, an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (A) two (2) additional years of the Employer retirement plan contributions by the Employer under each tax qualified or nonqualified defined contribution
type of
4
retirement plan in which Executive was a participant immediately prior to Executives termination of employment and (B) the actuarial present value of two (2) additional years of
benefit accruals under each tax qualified or nonqualified defined benefit type of retirement plan in which Executive was a participant immediately prior to Executives termination or resignation, calculated in each case as if Executive had
continued as a plan participant for the number of additional years indicated above, Executives annual compensation for plan purposes in the most recently completed plan year of each plan continued unchanged through these additional years, and
the retirement plans continued to operate unchanged through the additional years. The actuarial equivalence factors and assumptions generally in use under any defined benefit plan shall be applied in determining lump sum present values of any
defined benefit plan additional accruals payable hereunder.
(iv) The period of continued health coverage required by
Section 4980(B)(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (COBRA) shall run concurrently with the coverage provided herein.
(c) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the vesting and exercise rights of all stock options, shares of restricted
stock, and other equity-based compensation units held by Executive pursuant to any stock option plan, stock option agreement, restricted stock agreement, or other long term incentive plan shall be governed by the terms of such plan or agreement, but
in the event the plan or agreement is silent on the subject of change in control, all such options, shares, and units shall immediately become vested and exercisable as to all or any part of the shares and rights covered thereby.
(d) Executive is to receive no payments under Section 2.2(a) and no benefits under Section 2.2(b) if Executives
employment is terminated during a Change in Control Period by the death or Disability of Executive or for Cause. In an instance of death or Disability of Executive, however, Executive and Executives dependents, beneficiaries and estate shall
receive any benefits payable to them under the Employment Agreement.
(e) References in this Section 2.2 to the
Employer shall include the successors of the Employer, as applicable.
(f) If any benefit or payment from the
Employer to Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Employment Agreement or otherwise) (a Payment) shall be determined to be an Excess Parachute
Payment, as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), then the aggregate present value of amounts or benefits payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement
(Agreement Payments) shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount. The Reduced Amount shall be the greater of (i) the highest aggregate present value of Agreement Payments that can be paid
without causing any payments or benefits hereunder to be an Excess Parachute Payment or (ii) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Agreement Payments that after taking into account all applicable state and federal taxes
(computed at the highest applicable marginal rate) including any taxes payable pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, results in a greater after-tax benefit to Executive than the after-tax benefit to Executive of the amount calculated under (i) hereof (computed at the highest applicable marginal rate). For purposes of this Section 2.2, present value shall be determined in
accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.

hereto with respect to the matters contemplated herein and therein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect thereto, including the Codorus Employment Agreement. Any amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement
shall not be effective unless in writing and agreed and executed by the Employer and Executive. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege shall preclude any other or further exercise

Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect its interpretation. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to
constitute but one and the same Agreement.
3.7 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall execute such further
instruments and take such other actions as any other party shall reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
3.8 Attorneys Fees and Related Expenses. All reasonable attorneys fees and related expenses incurred by Executive in

Agreement, shall be paid in full by the Employer.

certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the Employer will indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law with respect to Executives service as an officer and employee of the Employer and its

Executive is to receive a payment of compensation hereunder that is on account of a separation from service, such payment is subject to the provisions of Section 409A, and Executive is a

includes, among other things, an effective general release, waiver of claims and non-disparagement agreement in a form prescribed by the Employer (the Release), and in a manner consistent
with the requirements of the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act and any applicable federal and state law, becoming effective by the 60th day following Executives separation from service
(or such shorter period set forth within such Release). Such payments will be made or commence to be made following the date the Release becomes effective, provided that if the 60-day period spans two
calendar years, the payments will commence in the second calendar year.
3.13 Other Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended
to limit Executives right to (a) payment or reimbursement for welfare benefit claims incurred prior to the cessation of his employment under any group insurance plan, policy or arrangement of the Employer in accordance with the terms of
such plan, policy or arrangement (b) elect COBRA benefits in accordance with the applicable law, or (c) receive a distribution of vested accrued benefits from any employee pension benefit plan in accordance with the terms of that plan.

under Section 2.3 of this Agreement shall continue despite the expiration of the term of this Agreement or its termination.
