First Capital and Peoples intend for the Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) and related sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code, and agree to cooperate and to take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to assure such result.

Shareholders of Peoples who properly exercise and perfect statutory dissenters’ rights shall have the rights accorded to dissenting shareholders under Subtitle 13 of the Kentucky Business Corporation Act (the “KBCA”).

(ii) for each share of Peoples Outstanding Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been effectively made and not revoked or lost, $9,475.00 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”).

The Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Merger Consideration.”

(b) At the Effective Time, if the Average First Capital Closing Price is greater than $24.75:

(i) the aggregate Stock Consideration shall be increased by a percentage equal to one-half of the percentage increase in the Average First Capital Closing Price above $24.75 (with a corresponding decrease in the Exchange Ratio, which Exchange Ratio, as adjusted as provided herein and in Section 2.06, shall become the “Exchange Ratio” for purposes of this Agreement), up to a minimum number of 560,868 shares of First Capital Common Stock (or an Exchange Ratio of 365.27 shares) to be issued as Stock Consideration; and

(ii) the aggregate Cash Consideration shall be increased by a percentage equal to one-half of the percentage increase in the Average First Capital Closing Price above $24.75, to a maximum of $15,283,654 (or $9,953.54 per share) to be issued as Cash Consideration.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, adjustments to the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration pursuant to Sections 2.01(b) and (c) of this Agreement shall be calculated in a manner consistent with Schedule 2.01(d).

(e) At the Effective Time, if the Consolidated Net Book Value of Peoples (as defined below) is greater than $26,410,000 but less than $29,010,000, the Merger Consideration shall be reduced by the difference between the Consolidated Net Book Value and $29,010,000.

(i) “Consolidated Net Book Value” means the unaudited consolidated net shareholders’ equity of Peoples as of the Determination Date, determined in accordance with GAAP, but without giving effect to: (A) the after-tax impact of any negative provision for loan and lease losses for the period between March 31, 2015 and the Determination Date, which provision would otherwise have the effect of decreasing the allowance for loan and lease losses; (B) the after-tax impact of any realized gains or losses on securities sold by Peoples after March 31, 2015; (C) accumulated other comprehensive income (loss); (D) expenses paid or incurred by Peoples as of the Determination Date in connection with the Merger contemplated by this Agreement; (E) the after-tax impact of any expenses paid or incurred by Peoples or its Subsidiaries at the request or direction of First Capital in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the amount of earned but unpaid vacation and sick time as set forth on Section 3.10 of the Peoples Disclosure Schedule (as defined in Article III of this Agreement) (for purposes of clarity, any amounts of earned but unpaid vacation time paid in excess of the amount set forth at Section 3.10 of the Peoples Disclosure Schedule shall be deducted from the Consolidated Net Book Value amount); (F) the payment of dividends in accordance with Section 5.04(c)(xxiii) of this Agreement; and (G) the after-tax impact of any operating losses incurred in connection with the operation of the Contingent Assets between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time to the extent the net proceeds from a sale of the Contingent Assets exceeds $3,750,000. For the avoidance of doubt, net unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, accumulated net gains and losses on cash flow xxxxxx, cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments shall be excluded from the calculation of Consolidated Net Book Value.

(ii) “Determination Date” shall mean the tenth business day prior to the Closing Date.

(f) Each Peoples shareholder shall have the right to elect to receive the Stock Consideration or the Cash Consideration as to each share of Peoples Common Stock owned by such shareholder, subject however to the election, allocation, adjustment and proration procedures set forth in Section 2.04 of this Agreement.

(g) If Peoples Bank: (i) sells certain assets identified on Schedule 2.01(f) (the “Contingent Assets”) prior to the Effective Time, or (ii) has entered into a written contract for the sale of the Contingent Assets with a purchaser (a “CA Purchaser”) and the Contingent Assets are purchased by the CA Purchaser within sixty (60) days after the Effective Time, then the Merger Consideration shall be increased by increasing the Cash Consideration by (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the net sales proceeds received with respect to the sale of the Contingent Assets (which shall be net of any commissions paid with respect to the sale of the Contingent Assets) (“CA Proceeds”) in excess of $3,750,000, up to $5,600,000 of CA Proceeds, and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of any CA Proceeds in excess of $5,600,000.

(h) If the Contingent Assets are not sold pursuant to Section 2.01(g) of this Agreement, then First Capital will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts in the ordinary course of business to sell the Contingent Assets within 24 months of the Effective Time. If First Capital or its Subsidiaries: (i) sell the Contingent Assets within twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Time, or (ii) enter into a written contract with a CA Purchaser for the sale of the Contingent Assets within twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Time and the Contingent Assets are purchased by the CA Purchaser within sixty (60) days after the expiration of such twenty-four (24) month period, First Capital shall distribute fifty percent (50%) of the CA Proceeds in excess of $3,750,000 on a pro rata basis to the former shareholders of Peoples at the Effective Time.

2.02 Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers

At the Effective Time, holders of Peoples Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Peoples, other than the right to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to such Peoples Common Stock with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Peoples of shares of Peoples Common Stock.

2.03 Fractional Shares

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no fractional shares of First Capital Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger; instead, First Capital shall pay to each holder of Peoples Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share of First Capital Common Stock an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fraction by $9,475.00 as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement). By fixing such fractional share price, the parties hereto disclaim that such price represents the “fair value” or “fair market value” of Peoples for any other purpose.

2.04 Election and Allocation Procedures

(a) Subject to the allocation procedures set forth in Section 2.04(b), each record holder of Peoples Outstanding Stock will be entitled (1) to elect to receive the Stock Consideration (a “Stock Election”) for all or some of the shares of Peoples Outstanding Stock (“Stock Election Shares”) held by such record holder, (2) to elect to receive the Cash Consideration (a “Cash Election”) for all or some of the shares of Peoples Outstanding Stock

(“Cash Election Shares”) held by such record holder or (3) to indicate that such holder makes neither a Stock Election nor a Cash Election (a “Non-Election”) for all or some of the shares of Peoples Outstanding Stock (“Non-Election Shares”) held by such record holder. All such elections (each, an “Election”) shall be made on a form designed for that purpose by First Capital and reasonably acceptable to Peoples (an “Election Form”). The holders of Peoples Outstanding Stock entitled to receive the Election Form shall be those holders of record of Peoples Outstanding Stock as of the record date fixed for the special shareholders’ meeting at which the Merger will be submitted to a vote of the Peoples shareholders (the “Peoples Meeting”). The Election Form shall be provided to the holders of Peoples Outstanding Stock entitled to receive the Election Form simultaneously with the provision of the solicitation of proxies and related materials for purposes of the Peoples Meeting. First Capital shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Election Form available to shareholders of record who become such after the record date for the special shareholders’ meeting and before the Election Deadline. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Election Deadline is the date fixed by First Capital as the date by which properly completed Election Forms must be submitted, which shall be a date that is no later than the Closing Date and no earlier than the date that is seven days after the Peoples Meeting. Any shares of Peoples Common Stock with respect to which the record holder thereof has not, as of the Election Deadline, properly submitted to the Exchange Agent (as defined below) a properly completed Election Form shall be deemed to be Non-Election Shares. Holders of Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have made a Cash Election. A record holder acting in different capacities or acting on behalf of other persons in any way shall be entitled to submit an Election Form for each capacity in which such record holder so acts with respect to each person for which it so acts. The “Exchange Agent” shall be Computershare Limited, or such other bank or trust company as may be agreed to by First Capital (which may be an affiliate of First Capital) and Peoples, to effect the payment of the Merger Consideration to holders of Peoples Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement. The number of shares equal to 50% of the shares of Peoples Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be referred to herein as the “Stock Conversion Number.”

(b) Not later than the 10th business day after the Election Deadline, First Capital shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the holders of Peoples Common Stock of rights to receive the Stock Consideration or the Cash Consideration in the Merger as follows:

(i) Number of Stock Election Shares Equal to the Stock Conversion Number. If the number of Stock Election Shares equals the Stock Conversion Number, then (A) all Cash Election Shares and Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and (B) all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration;

(ii) Number of Stock Election Shares Less Than the Stock Conversion Number. If the number of Stock Election Shares is less than the Stock Conversion Number, the Non-Elections shall be converted to Stock Elections, on a pro rata basis, until a sufficient number of Non-Election Shares have been converted so that the total Non-Election Shares so converted, when added to the Stock Election Shares, is equal as closely as possible to the Stock Conversion Number. In the event that, following the conversion of all Non-Elections to Stock Elections, the number of Stock Election Shares still is less

than the Stock Conversion Number, the Cash Elections shall be eliminated (each in its entirety) and converted to Stock Elections (each in its entirety) and the Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and the Cash Consideration in the following manner:

(A) the Exchange Agent will select from among the holders of Cash Election Shares, on a pro rata basis (other than holders of Dissenting Shares), a sufficient number of such shares (“Stock Designated Shares”) such that the number of Stock Designated Shares will, when added to the number of Stock Election Shares and Non-Election Shares, be equal as closely as practicable to the Stock Conversion Number, and all such Stock Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration; and

(B) the Cash Election Shares not so selected as Stock Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; and

(iii) Number of Stock Election Shares Greater Than the Stock Conversion Number. If the number of Stock Election Shares exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, the Stock Elections shall be eliminated (each in its entirety) and converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration and the Cash Consideration in the following manner:

(A) the Exchange Agent will select from among the holders of Stock Election Shares, on a pro rata basis, a sufficient number of such shares (“Cash Designated Shares”) such that the number of Stock Election Shares, when reduced by the Cash Designated Shares, is equal as closely as practicable to the Stock Conversion Number, and all such Cash Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; and

(B) the Stock Election Shares not so selected as Cash Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.

(c) A holder of shares of Peoples Common Stock that is a bank, trust company, securities broker-dealer or other recognized nominee, may submit one or more Election Forms for the persons for whom it holds shares as nominee provided that such bank, trust company, securities broker-dealer or nominee certifies to the satisfaction of Peoples and First Capital the names of the persons for whom it is so holding shares (the “Beneficial Owners”). In such case, each Beneficial Owner for whom an Election Form is submitted shall be treated as a separate owner for purposes of the election procedure and allocation of shares set forth herein.

2.05 Exchange Procedures

(a) At and after the Effective Time, each certificate representing shares of Peoples Common Stock shall represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) At or prior to the Effective Time, First Capital shall reserve a sufficient number of shares of First Capital Common Stock to be issued as part of the Merger Consideration. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event more than five business days thereafter, First Capital shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of Peoples Common Stock a letter of transmittal, in a form reasonably acceptable to First Capital and Peoples, providing instructions as to the transmittal to the Exchange Agent of certificates representing shares of Peoples Common Stock and the issuance of shares of First Capital Common Stock and cash in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c) First Capital shall within 5 business days after the receipt (or receipt by the Exchange Agent) of certificates representing such shares of Peoples Common Stock (“Old Certificates”) (or bond or other indemnity reasonably satisfactory to First Capital if any of such certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed) owned by such shareholder accompanied by a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to First Capital and Peoples, cause (i) a check in the amount of cash that each holder of Peoples Common Stock has the right to receive pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.04, (ii) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of First Capital Common Stock that each holder of Peoples Common Stock has the right to receive pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.04, and (iii) a check in the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares or dividends or distributions which such holder shall be entitled to receive. No interest will be paid on any Merger Consideration that any such holder shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II upon such delivery.

(d) No dividends or other distributions on First Capital Common Stock with a record date occurring after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate representing shares of Peoples Common Stock converted in the Merger into the right to receive shares of such First Capital Common Stock until the holder thereof surrenders such Old Certificates in accordance with this Section 2.05. After becoming so entitled in accordance with this Section 2.05, the record holder thereof also 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 First Capital Common Stock such holder had the right to receive upon surrender of the Old Certificate.

(e) The stock transfer books of Peoples shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and from and after the Effective Time there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer records of Peoples of any shares of Peoples Common Stock (other than to settle transfers of Peoples Common Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time). If, after the Effective Time, Old Certificates are presented to First Capital, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.05.

(f) First Capital shall be entitled to rely upon Peoples’ stock transfer books to establish the identity of those individuals, partnerships, corporations, trusts, joint ventures, organizations or other entities (each, a “Person”) entitled to receive the Merger Consideration, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Old Certificate, First Capital shall be entitled to deposit any Merger Consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved from any and all liability with respect to any claims thereto.

(g) If any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and the posting by such Person of a bond or other indemnity reasonably satisfactory to First Capital as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, First Capital will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Old Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the Effective Time, all shares of Peoples Common Stock that are held as treasury stock of Peoples or owned by First Capital (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no stock of Peoples or other consideration shall be exchanged therefor.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto shall be liable to any former holder of Peoples Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

2.06 Anti-Dilution Adjustments

If First Capital changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of shares of First Capital Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time by way of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding First Capital Common Stock, and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio (as modified pursuant to Section 2.01(b), (c) or (f) of this Agreement) shall be adjusted so the shareholders of Peoples at the Effective Time shall receive Merger Consideration that produces the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action. No adjustment shall be made for the holders of shares of Peoples Common Stock under this Section 2.06 solely as a result of First Capital issuing additional shares of First Capital Common Stock provided it receives fair market value consideration for such shares or such shares are issued in connection with the First Capital Plans (as hereinafter defined) consistent with past practice with respect to such issuances.

2.07 Dissenting Shares

Dissenting Shares will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and holders of such shares of Peoples Common Stock will be entitled, in lieu thereof, to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Peoples Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the KBCA unless and until such holders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or lose their rights to appraisal and payment under the KBCA. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such shares of Peoples Common Stock will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, without any interest thereon. Peoples will give First Capital prompt notice of any demands received by Peoples for appraisal of shares of Peoples Common Stock. Prior to the Effective Time, Peoples will not, except with prior consent of First Capital, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

2.08 Preservation of Tax-Free Reorganization

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the tax opinions referred to in Sections 7.01(h) and 7.02(i) cannot be rendered (as reasonably determined, in each case, by Xxxxx, XxXxxxx LLP) as a result of the Merger potentially failing to satisfy the “continuity of interest” requirements under applicable federal income tax principles relating to reorganizations under Section 368(a) of the Code, then if agreed to by First Capital and Peoples, the Exchange Ratio shall be increased to the minimum extent necessary to enable such tax opinions to be rendered.

(a) First Capital shall make available to the officers and employees of Peoples or any Subsidiary (“Employees”) who continue as employees of Peoples or any Subsidiary after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”), substantially the same employee benefits, on substantially the same terms and conditions as First Capital offers to its similarly situated officers and employees. Continuing Employees will receive credit for prior service with Peoples or its Subsidiaries, or their predecessors, for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the employee benefit plans of First Capital and its Subsidiaries. To the extent that First Capital determines, in its sole discretion, that Peoples’ employee benefit plans should be terminated, Continuing Employees shall become eligible to participate in First Capital’s employee benefit plans as soon as reasonably practicable after termination. Continuing Employees who become covered under the health or dental plans of First Capital shall not be subject to any waiting periods or additional pre-existing condition limitations under the health and dental plans of First Capital or its Subsidiaries in which they are eligible to participate than they otherwise would have been subject to under the health and dental plans of Peoples. To the extent that the initial period of coverage for Continuing Employees under age 65 under any such First Capital employee benefit plans is not a full 12-month period of coverage, Continuing Employees shall be given credit under the applicable plan for any deductibles and co-insurance payments made by such Continuing Employees under the corresponding Peoples plan during the balance of such 12-month period of coverage, provided that First Capital can obtain, in a manner satisfactory to First Capital, as determined in its sole discretion, the necessary data.

(b) All Continuing Employees shall be subject to First Capital’s vacation policy as of the Effective Time. Peoples or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay prior to the Closing to each Employee all of such Employee’s accrued but unpaid vacation time.

(c) After the Effective Time, mileage for Continuing Employees’ business-related travel shall be reimbursed according to First Capital’s reimbursement policy for mileage, consistent with the applicable provisions of the Code.

(d) After the Effective Time, Peoples’ sick time policy shall terminate and all Continuing Employees shall be subject to First Capital’s sick time policy. Peoples or its

Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay prior to the Closing to each Employee all of such Employee’s accrued but unpaid sick time.

(e) Until the Effective Time, Peoples or a Subsidiary of Peoples, whichever is applicable, shall be liable for all obligations for continued health coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 through 609 of ERISA (“COBRA”) for eligible employees who incur a qualifying event before the Effective Time. First Capital or a First Capital Subsidiary, whichever is applicable, shall after the Effective Time be liable for (i) all obligations for continued health coverage under COBRA with respect to each qualified beneficiary of Peoples or a Subsidiary of Peoples who incurs a termination on and after the Effective Time, and (ii) for continued health coverage under COBRA from and after the Effective Time for each qualified beneficiary of Peoples or a Subsidiary of Peoples who incurs a qualifying event before the Effective Time.

(f) After the Effective Time, any Employee whose employment is terminated after the Closing Date by First Capital or any of its Subsidiaries and who executes a valid waiver and release in a form acceptable to First Capital and First Xxxxxxxx Bank (and who does not revoke such waiver and release during any applicable revocation period), shall be entitled to receive severance payments as set forth on Schedule 6.03(f).

6.04 Public Announcements

First Capital and Peoples will consult with the other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to the Agreement and the Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultations except as may be required by Law.

6.05 Written Opinion of Financial Advisor

Peoples shall receive within ten (10) days of this Agreement the written fairness opinion of PBS that the Merger Consideration is fair to the shareholders of Peoples from a financial point of view.

6.06 Acquisition Proposals

Peoples agrees that neither it nor Peoples Bank shall, and that it shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts in good faith to cause its and Peoples Bank’s directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation or similar transaction involving Peoples or Peoples Bank, or any purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of Peoples or Peoples Bank or more than 10% of the outstanding equity securities of Peoples or Peoples Bank (any such proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as an “Peoples Acquisition Proposal”). Peoples further agrees that neither Peoples nor Peoples Bank shall, and that it shall direct and use its reasonable best efforts in good faith to cause its and Peoples Bank’s directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to a Peoples Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or

implement a Peoples Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Peoples or the Peoples Board from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under federal or state Law; (ii) providing information in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Peoples Acquisition Proposal if the Peoples or Peoples Bank Board receives from the Person so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement; (iii) engaging in any negotiations or discussions with any Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Peoples Acquisition Proposal or (iv) recommending such a Peoples Acquisition Proposal to the shareholders of Peoples, if and only to the extent that, in each such case referred to in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, (A) the Peoples Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that such action would be required in order for its directors to comply with their respective fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (B) the Peoples Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor) that such Peoples Acquisition Proposal, if accepted, is reasonably likely to be consummated, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal and would, if consummated, result in a transaction materially more favorable (taking into account the fees, expenses, and costs associated herewith and therewith) to Peoples’ shareholders from a financial point of view than the Merger. A Peoples Acquisition Proposal which is received and considered by the Peoples Board in compliance with this Section 6.05 and which meets the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence is herein referred to as a “Peoples Superior Proposal.” Peoples agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Peoples Acquisition Proposals. Peoples agrees that it will notify First Capital if any such inquiries, proposals or offers are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, Peoples, Peoples Bank, or any of its representatives.
