Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of September 26,

corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of AIB ("Allfirst"), AIB agreed to sell,
and M&T agreed to purchase, all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par

connection with the purchase, AIB became entitled to select four directors to
the Board of Directors of M&T and its principal bank subsidiary effective as of
April 1, 2003, and in the future will be entitled to nominate up to four
directors depending upon the percentage of M&T common stock then owned by AIB.
AIB also has certain additional rights, protections and obligations regarding
share ownership and corporate governance under those documents, including: the
right to certain representation on the committees of the Board of Directors of
M&T and its principal bank subsidiary; the requirement that AIB's
representatives on the M&T Board of Directors, acting through the appropriate
Board committee, consent in order to take specified corporate actions, and the
requirement for other specified corporate actions that those actions not be
opposed by AIB's committee representative and at least one other committee
member not designated by AIB; restrictions on AIB's right to own more than 25%
of the outstanding M&T common stock and on AIB's right to take certain other
actions as a shareholder of M&T without the approval of the Board of Directors
of M&T except under limited circumstances; AIB's right to maintain its
proportionate ownership of M & T; restrictions on the ability of AIB to sell its
shares of M&T common stock received pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement; and
