THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 9, 2013, between CARDINAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Virginia corporation (“CFNL”), and UNITED FINANCIAL BANKING COMPANIES, INC., a Virginia corporation (“UFBC”).

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of CFNL and UFBC have approved, and deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective stockholders to consummate, the business combination transactions provided for herein, including the merger of UFBC with and into CFNL (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of CFNL and UFBC have each determined that the Merger is consistent with, and will further, their respective business strategies and goals; and

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that, for federal income tax purposes, the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that this Agreement shall constitute, and is adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

The Merger and Related Matters

1.1 The Merger.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2), UFBC will be merged with and into CFNL pursuant to the Plan of Merger attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and made a part hereof (the “Plan of Merger”). The separate corporate existence of UFBC thereupon shall cease, and CFNL will be the surviving corporation in the Merger. The Merger will have the effect set forth in Section 13.1-721 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”).

1.2 Effective Time; Closing.

(a) The Merger will become effective on the date and at the time shown on the Articles of Merger required to be filed with the office of the Virginia State Corporation Commission, as provided in Section 13.1-720 of the VSCA, effecting the Merger (the “Effective Time”). Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6, the parties will cause the Effective Time to occur on (i) the later of (A) January 31, 2014 or (B) a date no later than thirty (30) days after all required regulatory and stockholder approvals to consummate the Merger have been received or (ii) such other date to which the parties may mutually agree in writing. At or after the Closing Date (as defined below), CFNL and UFBC will execute and deliver Articles of Merger containing the Plan of Merger to the Virginia State Corporation Commission.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger will take place at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time at the corporate office headquarters of CFNL on a date mutually agreed to by the parties and which shall be held at or before the Effective Time (the “Closing Date”). All documents required by this Agreement to be delivered at or before the Effective Time will be exchanged by the parties

at the Closing Date.

1.3 Subsidiary Bank Merger.

At the Effective Time or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, The Business Bank, the wholly-owned Virginia chartered commercial bank subsidiary of UFBC, shall be merged with and into Cardinal Bank, the wholly-owned Virginia chartered commercial bank subsidiary of CFNL (the “Subsidiary Bank Merger”), pursuant to the Subsidiary Bank Plan of Merger, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3. As soon as practicable after the approval of this Agreement by the Boards of Directors of CFNL and UFBC, each of CFNL, Cardinal Bank, UFBC and The Business Bank, respectively, shall take all actions necessary to approve and adopt the Subsidiary Bank Plan of Merger, including effecting the necessary stockholder and board of director approvals. Prior to the Effective Time, such parties shall take all actions necessary to approve and adopt any and all other agreements and documents to effect the Subsidiary Bank Merger.

1.4 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of CFNL.

The Articles of Incorporation of CFNL as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the Articles of Incorporation of CFNL at and after the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law. The Bylaws of CFNL as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the Bylaws of CFNL at and after the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law.

ARTICLE 2

Merger Consideration; Exchange Procedures

2.1 Conversion of Shares.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of CFNL or UFBC or their respective stockholders:

(a) Each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of CFNL (“CFNL Common Stock”), that is issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall remain unchanged by the Merger.

(b) Each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of UFBC (“UFBC Common Stock”), that is issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than the Dissenting Shares as defined in Section 2.8) will be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive (i) 1.154 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of CFNL Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) and (ii) a cash sum of $19.13 (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

(c) All shares of UFBC Common Stock converted pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time.

(d) Each certificate previously representing shares of UFBC Common Stock (a “UFBC Common Certificate”) shall cease to represent any rights except the right to receive with respect to each underlying share of UFBC Common Stock (i) the Merger Consideration upon the surrender of such UFBC Common Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2, and (ii) any dividends or distributions or cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Sections 2.4 and

2.6.

(e) Each share of UFBC Common Stock held by either party and each share of CFNL Common Stock held by UFBC or any of the UFBC Subsidiaries (as defined herein) prior to the Effective Time (in each case other than in a fiduciary or agency capacity or on behalf of third parties or as a result of debts previously contracted) shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist at the Effective Time and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor; provided, that such shares of CFNL Common Stock shall resume the status of authorized and unissued shares of CFNL Common Stock.

2.2 Exchange Procedures.

(a) At or before the Closing Date, CFNL shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, its transfer agent, or such other independent, third party transfer agent or depository or trust institution of recognized standing approved by CFNL and reasonably acceptable to UFBC (in such capacity, the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of the UFBC Common Certificates, (i) certificates representing the shares of CFNL Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Article 2, and (ii) cash equal to the aggregate amount of the Cash Consideration issuable pursuant to this Article 2, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto and any cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares without any interest thereon (the “Exchange Fund”), in exchange for certificates representing outstanding shares of UFBC Common Stock.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, CFNL shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to each former stockholder of record of UFBC immediately before the Effective Time transmittal materials for use in exchanging such stockholder’s UFBC Common Certificates for the Merger Consideration, as provided for herein.

(c) CFNL shall cause the Merger Consideration into which shares of UFBC Common Stock are converted at the Effective Time, and dividends or distributions which a UFBC stockholder shall be entitled to receive and any cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares, to be issued and paid to such UFBC stockholder upon delivery to the Exchange Agent of UFBC Common Certificates representing such shares of UFBC Common Stock, together with the transmittal materials duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto. No interest will accrue or be paid on any such cash to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.4 or 2.6.

(d) Any UFBC stockholder whose UFBC Common Certificates have been lost, destroyed, stolen or are otherwise missing shall be entitled to the Merger Consideration, dividends or distributions, and cash in lieu of fractional shares to which such stockholder shall be entitled upon compliance with reasonable conditions imposed by CFNL pursuant to applicable law and as required in accordance with CFNL’s standard policy (including the requirement that the shareholder furnish a surety bond or other customary indemnity).

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of UFBC for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to CFNL (together with any earnings in respect thereof). Any stockholders of UFBC who have not complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter be entitled to look only to CFNL, and only as a general creditor thereof, for payment of the consideration deliverable in respect of each share of UFBC Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon.

(f) None of the Exchange Agent, either of the parties hereto or any of the CFNL Subsidiaries (as defined herein) or the UFBC Subsidiaries (as defined herein) shall be liable to any stockholder of

UFBC for any amount of property delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

2.3 UFBC Stock Options and Warrants.

(a) Each option to purchase shares of UFBC Common Stock (a “UFBC Stock Option”) granted under an equity based compensation plan of UFBC (a “UFBC Stock Plan”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an obligation of CFNL to pay (or cause to be paid) and a right of the holder of the UFBC Stock Option to receive, cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount equal to $38.26 minus the per share exercise price of such UFBC Stock Option, and (ii) the number of shares of UFBC Common Stock subject to such UFBC Stock Option. In the event that the product obtained by such calculation with respect to a UFBC Stock Option is zero or a negative number, then such UFBC Stock Option shall, immediately prior to the Effective Time, be cancelled for no consideration. The amount determined in accordance with the foregoing shall be paid to the applicable holder of a UFBC Stock Option as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date and in no event later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date.

(b) Subject to the approval or consent of the holders thereof, each warrant or warrant agreement to purchase shares of UFBC Common Stock issued or entered into by UFBC (a “UFBC Warrant”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an obligation of CFNL to pay (or cause to be paid) and a right of the holder of the UFBC Warrant to receive, cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount equal to $38.26 minus the per share exercise price of such UFBC Warrant, and (ii) the number of shares of UFBC Common Stock subject to such UFBC Warrant. In the event that the product obtained by such calculation with respect to a UFBC Warrant is zero or a negative number, then such UFBC Warrant shall, immediately prior to the Effective Time, be cancelled for no consideration. The amount determined in accordance with the foregoing shall be paid to the applicable holder of a UFBC Warrant as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date and in no event later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date. In the event that any holder of a UFBC Warrant does not approve or consent to the conversion of such UFBC Warrant into the right to receive cash as set forth above, such UFBC Warrant will be converted into a warrant or warrant agreement of CFNL for CFNL Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the UFBC Warrant.

(c) The Board of Directors of UFBC (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the UFBC Stock Plans) shall, prior to the Effective Time, adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to effect the transactions described in this Section 2.3. In addition, prior to the Effective Time, UFBC shall deliver all necessary or appropriate notices to each holder of UFBC Stock Options and UFBC Stock Warrants setting forth each holder’s rights pursuant to this Section 2.3.

2.4 No Fractional Shares.

Each holder of shares of UFBC Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger which would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of CFNL Common Stock shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest and rounded to the nearest cent) in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of CFNL Common Stock multiplied by the closing sale price of CFNL Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the trading day immediately preceding (but not including) the Effective Time.

2.5 Anti-Dilution.

In the event CFNL changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of shares of CFNL Common Stock issued and outstanding before the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or similar transaction, appropriate and proportional adjustments will be made to the Exchange Ratio.

2.6 Dividends.

No dividend or other distribution payable to the holders of record of UFBC Common Stock at, or as of, any time after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any UFBC Common Certificate until such holder physically surrenders such certificate (or furnishes a surety bond or a customary indemnity that such certificate is lost, destroyed, stolen or otherwise missing as provided in Section 2.2(d)) for exchange as provided in Section 2.2 of this Agreement, promptly after which time all such dividends or distributions will be paid (without interest).

2.7 Withholding Rights.

The Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any person such amounts, if any, as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax (as defined herein) law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority (as defined herein) by the Exchange Agent, such amounts withheld will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent.

2.8 Dissenting Shares.

Any holder of shares of UFBC Common Stock who perfects such holder’s appraisal rights in accordance with and as contemplated by Sections 13.1-729 through 13.1-741.1 of the VSCA shall be entitled to receive from CFNL, in lieu of the Merger Consideration, the value of such shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in cash as determined pursuant to the VSCA; provided, that no such payment shall be made to any dissenting stockholder unless and until such dissenting stockholder has complied with all applicable provisions of the VSCA, and surrendered to UFBC the certificate or certificates representing the shares for which payment is being made (the “Dissenting Shares”). In the event that after the Effective Time a dissenting stockholder of UFBC fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses, such holder’s right to appraisal of and payment for such holder’s shares, CFNL shall issue and deliver the consideration to which such holder of shares of UFBC Common Stock is entitled under this Article 2 (without interest) upon surrender by such holder of the UFBC Common Certificate representing such shares.

ARTICLE 3

Representations and Warranties

3.1 Disclosure Schedule.

Prior to the date of this Agreement, each party has delivered to the other party a schedule (its “Disclosure Schedule”) setting forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception to one or more of such party’s representations or warranties contained in Article 3 or to one or more of its covenants or agreements contained in Articles 4 or 5; provided that, (i) no such item is

required to be set forth in a party’s Disclosure Schedule as an exception to any representation or warranty of such party if its absence would not result in the related representation or warranty being deemed untrue or incorrect under the standard established by Section 3.2, and (ii) the mere inclusion of an item in a party’s Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by that party that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein) with respect to such party.

3.2 Standard.

(a) No representation or warranty of CFNL or UFBC contained in Article 3 (other than the representations and warranties contained in (i) Sections 3.3(c)(i) and 3.3(t) for UFBC and Section 3.4(c)(i) for CFNL, which shall be true in all material respects, and (ii) Sections 3.3(c)(ii)(A), 3.3(d), 3.3(f)(ii) and 3.3(o) for UFBC and Sections 3.4(c)(ii)(A), 3.4(d) and 3.4(f)(ii) for CFNL, which shall be true and correct in all respects) will be deemed untrue or incorrect, and no party will be deemed to have breached a representation or warranty, as a consequence of the existence or absence of any fact, event or circumstance unless such fact, event or circumstance, individually or taken together with all other facts, events or circumstances inconsistent with any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on such party.

(b) The term “Material Adverse Effect,” as used with respect to a party, means an event, change, effect or occurrence which, individually or together with any other event, change, effect or occurrence, (i) is materially adverse to the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of such party and its subsidiaries (meaning the “UFBC Subsidiaries” as defined in Section 3.3(b) or the “CFNL Subsidiaries” as defined in Section 3.4(b), as the case may be), taken as a whole, or (ii) materially impairs the ability of such party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis; provided that a Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include the impact of (A) changes after the date of this Agreement in laws or regulations generally affecting the banking and bank holding company businesses and the interpretation of such laws and regulations by courts or governmental authorities, (B) changes after the date of this Agreement in generally accepted accounting principles or regulatory accounting requirements generally affecting the banking and bank holding company businesses, (C) changes or events after the date of this Agreement generally affecting the banking and bank holding company businesses, including changes in prevailing interest rates, and not specifically relating to CFNL, the CFNL Subsidiaries, UFBC or the UFBC Subsidiaries, (D) the effects of the actions expressly permitted or required by this Agreement or that are taken with the prior informed consent of the other party in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (E) the public disclosure of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (F) a decline in the trading price of a party’s common stock or the failure, in and of itself, to meet earnings projections or internal financial forecasts, but not including the underlying causes thereof, and (G) any outbreak or escalation of major hostilities or acts of terrorism which involves the United States; except, with respect to clauses (A), (B), (C) or (G), to the extent that the effects of such change are materially disproportionately adverse to the business, properties, financial condition or results of operations such party hereto and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other companies in the industry in which such party and its subsidiaries operate.

(c) The term “Knowledge” when used with respect to a party means (i) the actual knowledge of such party’s executive officers, and (ii) the knowledge that a prudent executive officer would reasonably be expected to have if such person duly performed his or her duties as an executive officer of such party. For the purpose of the term Knowledge, “executive officer” shall mean such party’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, chief credit officer or chief lending officer (or officers performing such functions).

3.3 Representations and Warranties of UFBC.

Subject to and giving effect to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and except as set forth in its Disclosure Schedule, UFBC hereby represents and warrants to CFNL as follows:

(a) Organization, Standing and Power. UFBC is a Virginia corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Virginia. UFBC has the corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and to own and operate its assets, properties and business. UFBC is duly registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”), and has elected to be treated as a financial holding company under the BHCA. The Business Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UFBC, is a Virginia chartered commercial bank duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Virginia, and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on a commercial banking business as now being conducted and to own and operate its assets, properties and business. The Business Bank’s deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the maximum extent permitted by law. True and complete copies of the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other similar governing instruments (“Organizational Documents”) of UFBC and The Business Bank, in each case as amended to the date hereof and as in full force and effect as of the date hereof, are set forth in Section 3.3(a) of the UFBC Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Subsidiaries. UFBC does not own, directly or indirectly, five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of any corporation, bank or other organization actively engaged in business except as set forth in Section 3.3(b) in the UFBC Disclosure Schedule (each individually a “UFBC Subsidiary” and collectively the “UFBC Subsidiaries”). Each UFBC Subsidiary (i) is a duly organized bank, corporation, limited liability company or statutory trust, validly existing and in good standing under applicable laws, (ii) has full corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and (iii) is duly qualified to do business in the states where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and where the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect on UFBC on a consolidated basis. The outstanding shares of capital stock or equity interests of each UFBC Subsidiary have been duly authorized and are validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable and all such shares are directly or indirectly owned by UFBC free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances or preemptive rights of any person. No rights are authorized, issued or outstanding with respect to the capital stock or equity interests of any UFBC Subsidiary and there are no agreements, understandings or commitments relating to the right of UFBC to vote or to dispose of the capital stock or equity interests of any UFBC Subsidiary. A true and complete list of each direct and indirect UFBC Subsidiary as of the date hereof is set forth in Section 3.3(b) of the UFBC Disclosure Schedule that shows the jurisdiction of organization of each UFBC Subsidiary, its form of organization (corporate, partnership, joint venture), and lists the owner(s) and percentage ownership (direct or indirect) of each UFBC Subsidiary.

(i) UFBC has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by UFBC, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of UFBC, subject only to the receipt of the approval of this Agreement and the Plan of Merger by the holders of more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of UFBC Common Stock (the “UFBC Stockholders Approval”). This Agreement is a valid and legally binding obligation of UFBC, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be

limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors or by general principles of equity).

(ii) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by UFBC, nor the consummation by UFBC of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by UFBC with any of the provisions hereof will: (A) conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of the Organizational Documents of UFBC or The Business Bank; (B) constitute or result in the breach of any term, condition or provision of, or constitute a default under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration with respect to, or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon, any property or asset of UFBC or any UFBC Subsidiary pursuant to any (1) note, bond, mortgage, indenture, or (2) any material license, agreement or other instrument or obligation, to which UFBC or any UFBC Subsidiary is a party or by which UFBC or any UFBC Subsidiary or any of their properties or assets may be bound; or (C) subject to the receipt of all required regulatory and stockholder approvals, violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to UFBC or any UFBC Subsidiary.

(iii) As of the date hereof, UFBC is not aware of any reason why the necessary regulatory approvals and consents will not be received in order to permit consummation of the Merger.

(d) UFBC Capital Stock. The authorized capital stock of UFBC consists of: (i) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value, of which 3,000 shares are issued and outstanding as of this date as Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, with a stated value of $1,000.00 per share (the “SBLF Preferred Stock”); and (ii) 3,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of which 1,350,159 shares are issued and outstanding as of the date of this Agreement.

There are no actions, suits or proceedings instituted or pending or, to its Knowledge, threatened against CFNL or any of the CFNL Subsidiaries or against any of CFNL’s or the CFNL Subsidiaries’ properties, assets, interests or rights, or against any of CFNL’s or CFNL Subsidiaries’ officers, directors or employees in their capacities as such.

Subsidiaries by any Governmental Authority. CFNL is not aware of any reason why the Merger will fail to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

(j) Employee Benefit Plans.

(i) All of the CFNL Benefit Plans (as defined herein) are in compliance in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations, and CFNL and Cardinal Bank have administered such benefit plans in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects.

(ii) Each CFNL Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so qualified, as reflected in a current favorable determination letter (based on Internal Revenue Service permitted determination request procedures), or a filing for the same has been made with the Internal Revenue Service seeking such a determination letter and that request is still awaiting decision by the Internal Revenue Service (based on Internal Revenue Service permitted determination request procedures). Nothing has occurred since the date of any such determination that is reasonably likely to affect adversely such qualification or exemption, or result in the imposition of excise taxes or income taxes on unrelated business income under the Code or ERISA with respect to any tax-qualified plan. There have been no “terminations,” “partial terminations” or “discontinuances of contributions,” as such terms are used in Section 411 of the Code and the regulations thereunder, to any tax-qualified plan during the preceding five years without notice to and approval by the Internal Revenue Service and payment of all obligations and liabilities attributable to such tax-qualified plans.

Since December 31, 2012, neither CFNL nor any of the CFNL Subsidiaries has received any notice of a premium increase or cancellation or a failure to renew with respect to any insurance policy or bond or, within the last three (3) calendar years, and since January 1, 2013, has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and CFNL has no reason to believe that existing insurance coverage cannot be renewed as and when the same shall expire upon terms and conditions as favorable as those presently in effect, other than possible increases in premiums or unavailability of coverage that do not result from any extraordinary loss experience on the part of CFNL or the CFNL Subsidiaries.

(l) Allowance for Loan Losses. The Loan Loss Allowance shown by CFNL in the financial statements included in the CFNL SEC Reports or the CFNL Bank Reports as of June 30, 2013 was, and the Loan Loss Allowance to be shown in financial statements included in the SEC Reports or the CFNL Bank Reports as of any date subsequent to the date of this Agreement will be, as of such dates, adequate to provide for inherent losses, net of recoveries relating to loans previously charged off, in respect of loans outstanding (including letter of credit or commitments to make loans or extend credit). The Loan Loss Allowance of CFNL has been established in accordance with GAAP and applicable regulatory requirements and guidelines.

(m) Environmental Matters.

(i) CFNL and each of CFNL Subsidiaries are in substantial compliance with all Environmental Laws. Neither CFNL nor any of the CFNL Subsidiaries has received any communication alleging that CFNL or such CFNL Subsidiary is not in such compliance, and, to its Knowledge, there are no present circumstances that would prevent or interfere with the continuation of such compliance.

(ii) Neither CFNL nor any of the CFNL Subsidiaries has received notice of pending, and to their Knowledge there are no threatened, legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceedings, asserting Environmental Claims or other claims, causes of action or governmental investigations of any nature, seeking to impose, or that could result in the imposition of, any material liability arising under any Environmental Laws upon (A) CFNL or such CFNL Subsidiary, (B) any person or entity whose liability for any Environmental Claim CFNL or any CFNL Subsidiary has or may have retained either contractually or by operation of law, (C) any real or personal property owned or leased by CFNL or any CFNL Subsidiary, or any real or personal property which CFNL or any CFNL Subsidiary has been, or is, judged to have managed or to have supervised or to have participated in the management of, or (D) any real or personal property in which CFNL or a CFNL Subsidiary holds a security interest securing a loan recorded on the books of CFNL or such CFNL Subsidiary. Neither CFNL nor any of the CFNL Subsidiaries is subject to any agreement, order, judgment, decree or memorandum by or with any court, governmental authority, regulatory agency or third party imposing any such liability.

(iii) To the Knowledge of CFNL, there are no past or present actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events or incidents that could reasonably form the basis of any Environmental Claim or other claim or action or governmental investigation that could result in the imposition of any liability arising under any Environmental Laws against CFNL or any of the CFNL Subsidiaries or against any person or entity whose liability for any Environmental Claim CFNL or any of the CFNL Subsidiaries has or may have retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law.

(n) Books and Records. The books and records of CFNL and those of the CFNL Subsidiaries have been fully, properly and accurately maintained in all material respects, and there are no material inaccuracies or discrepancies of any kind contained or reflected therein.

(e) Take any other action that would make any representation or warranty in Section 3.4 hereof untrue, taking into account the standard set forth in Section 3.2.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereto will use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, in good faith all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable, or advisable under applicable laws, so as to permit consummation of the Merger as promptly as practicable and shall cooperate fully with the other party hereto to that end.

5.2 Access to Information; Notice of Certain Matters; Confidentiality.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws regarding the disclosure or exchange of information, UFBC shall permit CFNL to make or cause to be made such investigation of UFBC’s operational, financial and legal condition as CFNL reasonably requests; provided, that such investigation shall be reasonably related to the Merger and shall not interfere unreasonably with normal operations. No investigation, in and of itself, by CFNL shall affect the representations and warranties of UFBC. CFNL will receive notice of all meetings of the UFBC and The Business Bank Boards of Directors and any committees thereof, and of any management committees (in all cases, at least as timely as all UFBC and

The Business Bank representatives to such meetings are provided notice). A representative of CFNL will be permitted to attend all meetings of the UFBC and The Business Bank Boards of Directors and committees of the Boards of Directors (except for the portions of such meetings that are executive sessions, relate to the Merger or a Superior Proposal (as defined herein), or as may be necessary or appropriate in order to preserve attorney-client privilege, as deemed by such boards) and such meetings of management of UFBC and The Business Bank that CFNL wishes to attend. UFBC shall also provide to CFNL all written agendas and meeting or written consent materials provided to the directors of UFBC in connection with Board and committee meetings, subject to applicable laws regarding the disclosure or exchange of information. Any such representative of CFNL may be required to enter into an appropriate confidentiality agreement satisfactory to UFBC prior to attending any such meetings.

(b) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, UFBC shall, upon the request of CFNL, cause one or more of its designated representatives to confer on a monthly or more frequent basis with CFNL regarding UFBC’s financial condition, operations and business and matters relating to the completion of the Merger. As soon as reasonably available, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter ending after the date of this Agreement (other than the last quarter of each fiscal year ending December 31), UFBC will deliver to CFNL its unaudited balance sheet and statements of income and stockholders’ equity without related notes, for such quarter prepared in accordance with GAAP. As soon as reasonably available, but in no event more than sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal year, UFBC will deliver to CFNL its unaudited balance sheet and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows, without related notes, for such year prepared in accordance with GAAP. Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month, UFBC will deliver to CFNL (i) a balance sheet and statement of income, without related notes, for such month prepared in accordance with GAAP, (ii) such loan reports as CFNL may reasonably request and (iii) such other financial data as CFNL may reasonably request. The financial statements required to be delivered by this Section 5.2(b) may be consolidated.

(c) Each party hereto will give prompt notice to the other party (and subsequently keep the other party informed on a current basis) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event or circumstance known that (i) is reasonably likely to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it, or (ii) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein.

(d) Each party hereto shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of its directors, officers, attorneys and advisors, to maintain the confidentiality of, and not use to the detriment of the other party, all information of the other party obtained prior to the date of this Agreement or pursuant to this Section 5.2 that is not otherwise publicly disclosed by the other party, unless such information is required to be included in any filing required by law or in an application for any Regulatory Approval required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, such undertaking with respect to confidentiality to survive any termination of this Agreement. In the case of information that a party believes is necessary in making any such filing or obtaining any such Regulatory Approval, that party will provide the other party a reasonable opportunity to review any such filing or any application for such Regulatory Approval before it is filed sufficient for it to comment on and object to the content of such filing or application. If this Agreement is terminated, each party shall promptly return to the furnishing party or, at the request of the furnishing party, destroy and certify the destruction of all confidential information received from the other party.

5.3 Stockholder Approval.

Subject to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, UFBC shall call a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the UFBC Stockholders Approval and shall use its reasonable

best efforts to cause such meeting to occur as soon as reasonably practicable (such meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “UFBC Stockholders Meeting”). In connection with that meeting, the Board of Directors of UFBC shall support and recommend approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the UFBC Stockholders Approval unless the Board of Directors of UFBC has received and recommended (or submitted to stockholders) a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 5.5.

5.4 Registration Statement; Proxy Statement; SEC Filings.

(a) Each party will cooperate with the other party, and their representatives, in the preparation of a registration statement on Form S-4, including any pre-effective or post-effective amendments or supplements thereto (the “Registration Statement”), to be filed by CFNL with the SEC in connection with the UFBC Stockholders Meeting, and the parties will prepare a proxy statement and prospectus and other proxy solicitation materials of UFBC constituting a part thereof (the “Proxy Statement”). Neither the Proxy Statement nor the Registration Statement shall be filed, and, prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, no amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement shall be filed, by CFNL without consultation with UFBC and its counsel, who shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents prior to filing. CFNL will use its reasonable best efforts, in which UFBC will reasonably cooperate as necessary, to file the Registration Statement, including the Proxy Statement in preliminary form, with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable, and, subject to the receipt of information from UFBC necessary for inclusion therein, in no event more than forty-five (45) days after the date hereof, and to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, and UFBC shall thereafter mail or deliver the Proxy Statement to its stockholders.

(b) Each party agrees, as to itself and its subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to the UFBC stockholders and at the time of the UFBC Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement was made, not misleading. Each party further agrees that if it becomes aware that any information furnished by it that would cause any of the statements in the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take appropriate steps to correct the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement.

5.5 No Other Acquisition Proposals.

(a) UFBC agrees that it will not, and will cause the UFBC Subsidiaries and UFBC’s and the UFBC Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (including any financial advisor, attorney or accountant retained by UFBC or any of the UFBC Subsidiaries) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to, (ii) furnish any confidential or nonpublic information relating to, or (iii) engage or participate in any negotiations or discussions concerning, an Acquisition Proposal (as defined herein).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.5 shall prohibit UFBC, prior to the UFBC Stockholders Meeting and subject to compliance with the other terms of this Section 5.5, from furnishing nonpublic information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, any person or entity that makes an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal with respect to UFBC (that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.5) if, and only to the extent that (i) the UFBC Board of Directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with and based upon the advice of outside legal counsel, that the duty of directors under Virginia law requires the UFBC Board of Directors to take such actions, (ii) before taking such actions, UFBC receives from such person or entity an executed confidentiality agreement on terms no less favorable to it than the Confidentiality Agreement, dated June 11, 2013, between CFNL and UFBC (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which confidentiality agreement shall not provide such person or entity with any exclusive right to negotiate with UFBC, and (iii) the UFBC Board of Directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal (as defined below). UFBC shall, within twenty-four (24) hours of reaching such conclusion, notify CFNL orally and in writing of UFBC’s receipt of any such proposal or inquiry, the material terms and conditions thereof, the identity of the person making such proposal or inquiry, and will keep CFNL apprised of any related developments, discussions and negotiations on a current basis, including by providing a copy of all material documentation or correspondence relating thereto.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, an “Acquisition Proposal” means, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any offer, proposal or inquiry relating to, or any third party indication of interest in, any of the following transactions involving UFBC or The Business Bank: (i) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction; (ii) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of ten percent (10%) or more of the consolidated assets of UFBC or ten percent (10%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of UFBC or the UFBC Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than ten percent (10%) of the consolidated assets of UFBC; or (iii) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in such third party beneficially owning ten percent (10%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of UFBC or the UFBC Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute more than ten percent (10%) of the consolidated assets of UFBC.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made by a person or entity (or group of persons or entities acting in concert within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) that the Board of Directors of UFBC concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the Acquisition Proposal and including the terms and conditions of this Agreement (A) is more favorable to the stockholders of UFBC from a financial point of view, than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) is fully financed or reasonably capable of being fully financed and reasonably likely to receive all required approvals of Governmental Authorities on a timely basis and otherwise reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed; provided that, for purposes of this definition of “Superior Proposal,” the Acquisition Proposal shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.5(c), except the reference to “ten percent (10%) or more” in such definition shall be deemed to be a reference to “a majority” and “Acquisition Proposal” shall only be deemed to refer to a transaction involving UFBC or The Business Bank.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including Section 7.1), nothing in this Section 5.5 shall permit UFBC to terminate this Agreement or affect any other obligation of UFBC under this Agreement.

(f) UFBC agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.5 by any representative of UFBC shall be deemed a breach of this Section 5.5 by UFBC.

5.6 Applications and Consents.

(a) The parties hereto shall cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to prepare as promptly as possible all documentation to effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of each Governmental Authority and all third parties necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Regulatory Approvals”) and will make all necessary filings in respect of the Regulatory Approvals as soon as practicable, but in no event more than forty-five (45) days after the date hereof, subject to the receipt of information from UFBC necessary for inclusion therein.

(b) Each party hereto will promptly furnish to the other party copies of applications filed with all Governmental Authorities and copies of written communications received by such party from any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party will consult with the other party with respect to the obtaining of all Regulatory Approvals and other material consents from third parties advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each party will keep the other party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby. All documents that the parties or their respective subsidiaries are responsible for filing with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including to obtain Regulatory Approvals) will comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of applicable law.

5.7 Public Announcements.

Prior to the Effective Time, UFBC and CFNL will consult with each other as to the form and substance of any press release or other public statement materially related to this Agreement prior to issuing such press release or public statement or making any other public disclosure related thereto (including any broad based employee communication that is reasonably likely to become the subject of public disclosure).

5.8 Affiliate Agreements.

UFBC has identified to CFNL all persons who are, as of the date hereof, directors or executive officers of UFBC. UFBC shall have delivered to CFNL on or prior to the date hereof executed copies of a written agreement in the form of Exhibit 5.8 hereto from each such UFBC director or executive officer.

5.9 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) CFNL at its election shall either: (i) provide generally to officers and employees of UFBC and the UFBC Subsidiaries, who at or after the Effective Time become employees of CFNL or the CFNL Subsidiaries (“UFBC Continuing Employees”), employee benefits under the CFNL Benefit Plans (with no break in coverage), on terms and conditions which are the same as for similarly situated officers and employees of CFNL and the CFNL Subsidiaries; or (ii) maintain for the benefit of the UFBC Continuing Employees, the UFBC Benefit Plans maintained by UFBC immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that CFNL may take action to amend any UFBC Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time to comply with any law or, so long as the benefits provided under those UFBC Benefit Plans following such amendment are no less favorable to the UFBC Continuing Employees than benefits provided by CFNL to its officers and employees under any comparable CFNL Benefit Plans, as necessary and appropriate for other business reasons.

(b) For purposes of participation, vesting and benefit accrual (except not for purposes of benefit accrual with respect to any plan in which such credit would result in a duplication of benefits) under the CFNL Benefit Plans, service with or credited by UFBC or any of the UFBC Subsidiaries shall be treated as service with CFNL. To the extent permitted under applicable law, CFNL shall cause welfare CFNL Benefit Plans maintained by CFNL that cover the UFBC Continuing Employees after the Effective Time to (i) waive any waiting period and restrictions and limitations for preexisting conditions or insurability (except for pre-existing conditions that were excluded, or restrictions or limitations that were applicable, under the UFBC Benefit Plans), and (ii) cause any deductible, co-insurance, or maximum out-of-pocket payments made by the UFBC Continuing Employees under welfare UFBC Benefit Plans to be credited to such UFBC Continuing Employees under welfare CFNL Benefit Plans, so as to reduce the amount of any deductible, co-insurance or maximum out-of-pocket payments payable by such UFBC Continuing Employees under welfare CFNL Benefit Plans.

(c) Each employee of UFBC or any UFBC Subsidiary at the Effective Time whose employment is involuntarily terminated other than for cause by UFBC or CFNL effective as of or after the Effective Time, but on or before the date that is six (6) months from the Effective Time, excluding any employee who has a contract providing for severance, shall (i) be entitled to receive severance payments in an amount equal to two (2) weeks base weekly pay for each full year of service based upon the employee’s date of hire (plus a prorated amount for each partial year of service, such service determined by taking into account service with the UFBC, CFNL or any of its respective subsidiaries), with a minimum of four (4) and a maximum of twenty-six (26) weeks of base pay, and (ii) be offered one (1) month of outplacement assistance by CFNL. Such severance payments will be in lieu of any severance pay plans that may be in effect at UFBC or any of UFBC Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time.

(d) UFBC and CFNL acknowledge that it may be appropriate to provide certain employees of UFBC and the UFBC Subsidiaries who will not be retained as employees of CFNL with an incentive, in the form of a “retention” or “pay to stay” bonus, to remain in the employ of UFBC or CFNL until the Effective Time, until the completion of a systems conversion or some other transition period following the Effective Time. UFBC may adopt, in consultation with and approval by CFNL, a retention plan (the “Retention Plan”) which may include a retention pool of not more than $200,000. UFBC and CFNL shall consult with each other with respect to the identification of such employees, and the timing and amount of the payment of any such bonus pursuant to this Section 5.9(d) shall be subject to approval by UFBC and CFNL in writing. All payments pursuant to this Section 5.9(d) shall be made by CFNL, except that to the extent paid or accrued by UFBC. No such payment made or agreed to prior to the Effective Time shall be considered in determining whether there has been a Material Adverse Effect on UFBC.

(e) With respect to UFBC’s 401(k) plan, UFBC shall cause such plan to be terminated effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, in accordance with applicable law and subject to the receipt of all applicable regulatory or governmental approvals. Each UFBC Continuing Employee who was a participant in the UFBC 401(k) plan and who continues in the employment of CFNL or any CFNL Subsidiary shall be eligible to participate in CFNL’s 401(k) plan on or as soon as administratively practicable after the Effective Time, and account balances under the terminated UFBC 401(k) plan will be eligible for distribution or rollover, including direct rollover, to CFNL’s 401(k) for UFBC Continuing Employees. Any other former employee of UFBC or the UFBC Subsidiaries who is employed by CFNL or the CFNL Subsidiaries after the Effective Time shall be eligible to be a participant in the CFNL 401(k) plan upon complying with eligibility requirements. All rights to participate in CFNL’s 401(k) plan are subject to CFNL’s right to amend or terminate the plan. For purposes of administering CFNL’s 401(k) plan, service with UFBC and the UFBC Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be service with CFNL for participation and vesting purposes, but not for purposes of benefit accrual.

(f) Nothing in this Section 5.9 shall be interpreted as preventing CFNL, from and after the Effective Time, from amending, modifying or terminating any CFNL Benefit Plans or UFBC Benefit Plans or any other contracts, arrangements, commitments or plans of either party in accordance with their terms and applicable law.

5.10 Reservation of Shares; NASDAQ Listing.

(a) CFNL shall take all corporate action as may be necessary to authorize and reserve for issuance such number of shares of CFNL Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement, and to cause all such shares, when issued pursuant to this Agreement, to be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(b) CFNL shall use all reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of CFNL Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, subject to official notice of issuance, as promptly as practicable, and in any event before the Effective Time.

On the Effective Time and through the date of payment of the aggregate amount of the Cash Consideration issuable pursuant to Article 3 hereof, CFNL shall have all funds necessary to consummate the Merger and pay the aggregate amount of the Cash Consideration to the holders of UFBC Common Stock pursuant to Article 2 hereof.

5.12 Indemnification; Insurance.

(a) Following the Effective Time, CFNL shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless any person who has rights to indemnification from UFBC, to the same extent and on the same conditions as such person was entitled to indemnification pursuant to applicable law and UFBC’s Organizational Documents, as in effect on the date of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in any case in which corporate approval may be required to effectuate any indemnification, CFNL shall direct, if the party to be indemnified elects, that the determination of permissibility of indemnification shall be made by independent counsel mutually agreed upon between CFNL and the indemnified party.

(b) CFNL shall, at or prior to the Effective Time, purchase a six (6) year “tail” prepaid policy on the same terms and conditions as the existing directors’ and officers’ liability (and fiduciary) insurance maintained by UFBC from insurance carriers with comparable credit ratings, covering, without limitation, the Merger; provided, however, that the cost of such “tail” policy shall in no event exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the amount of the last annual premium paid by UFBC for such existing directors’ and officers’ liability (and fiduciary) insurance. If, but for the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, CFNL would be required to expend more than two hundred percent (200%)of current annual premiums, CFNL will obtain the maximum amount of that insurance obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to two hundred percent (200%) of current annual premiums.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.12 are intended to be for the benefit of and shall be enforceable by each indemnified party and his or her heirs and representatives.

5.13 Employment Arrangements.

5.16 Takeover Laws.

If any federal or state anti-takeover laws or regulations may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, each party hereto and the members of their respective Boards of Directors will grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary and legally permissible so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any such laws or regulations on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.17 Change of Method.

CFNL and UFBC shall be empowered, upon their mutual agreement and at any time prior to the Effective Time (and whether before or after the UFBC Stockholders Meeting), to change the method or structure of effecting the combination of CFNL and UFBC (including the provisions of Article 1), if and to the extent they both deem such change to be necessary, appropriate or desirable; provided that no such change shall (i) alter or change the Exchange Ratio or amount of cash to be received by UFBC stockholders in exchange for each share of UFBC Common Stock, (ii) adversely affect the tax treatment of CFNL or UFBC pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) materially impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a timely manner. The parties hereto agree to reflect any such change in an appropriate amendment to this Agreement executed by both parties in accordance with Section 8.3.

5.18 Supplemental Indenture.

Prior to the Effective Time, UFBC and CFNL shall take all actions necessary for CFNL to enter into a supplemental indenture with the trustee of the Indenture dated December 30, 2004, for UFBC’s junior subordinated debt securities due March 15, 2035, to evidence the succession of CFNL as the obligor on those securities as of the Effective Time.

5.19 SBLF Redemption.

As soon as practicable following (i) the receipt of UFBC Stockholders Approval and the relevant approval of such transaction by Governmental Authorities under applicable laws, and (ii) the agreement by UFBC and CFNL that all conditions to closing have been satisfied or waived (other than the delivery of opinions, certificates and other documents on the Closing Date as provided for herein), and in any event not later than immediately prior to or at the Closing Date, UFBC will redeem from the Treasury (or any other holder) each share of SBLF Preferred Stock issued and outstanding in such amount as shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the SBLF Preferred Stock set forth in UFBC’s articles of incorporation and the terms of any securities purchase and/or such other agreements required to be entered into by and between UFBC and the Treasury (or any other holder) in order to effect such redemption.

Merger Consideration; Exchange Procedures

2.1 Conversion of Shares; Exchange of Shares.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the stockholders of UFBC and CFNL, as the case may be, such stockholders will be entitled to the following:

(d) Each certificate previously representing shares of UFBC Common Stock (a “UFBC Common Certificate”) shall cease to represent any rights except the right to receive with respect to each

A-1

underlying share of UFBC Common Stock (i) the Merger Consideration upon the surrender of such UFBC Common Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2, and (ii) any dividends or distributions or cash in lieu of financial shares which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Sections 2.4 and 2.6.

(e) Each share of UFBC Common Stock held by either party and each share of CFNL Common Stock held by UFBC or any of the UFBC Subsidiaries (as defined in the Agreement) prior to the Effective Time (in each case other than in a fiduciary or agency capacity or on behalf of third parties as a result of debts previously contracted) shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist at the Effective Time and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor; provided, that such shares of CFNL Common Stock shall resume the status of authorized and unissued shares of CFNL Common Stock.

2.2 Exchange Procedures.

(c) CFNL shall cause the Merger Consideration into which shares of UFBC Common Stock are converted at the Effective Time or dividends or distributions which such stockholder shall be entitled to receive and any cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares to be issued and paid to such stockholder upon delivery to the Exchange Agent of UFBC Common Certificates representing such shares of UFBC Common Stock, together with the transmittal materials duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto. No interest will accrue or be paid on any such cash to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.4 or 2.6.

(f) None of the Exchange Agent, CFNL, UFBC or any of the CFNL Subsidiaries or the UFBC Subsidiaries (as such terms are defined in the Agreement) shall be liable to any stockholder of UFBC for any amount of property delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

2.3 UFBC Stock Options and Warrants.

(a) Each option to purchase shares of UFBC Common Stock (a “UFBC Stock Option”) granted under an equity based compensation plan of UFBC (“UFBC Stock Plan”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an obligation of CFNL to pay (or cause to be paid) and a right of the holder of the UFBC Stock Option to receive, cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount equal to $38.26 minus the per share exercise price of such UFBC Stock Option, and (ii) the number of shares of UFBC Common Stock subject to such UFBC Stock Option. In the event that the product obtained by such calculation with respect to a UFBC Stock Option is zero or a negative number, then such UFBC Stock Option shall, immediately prior to the Effective Time, be cancelled for no consideration. The amount determined in accordance with the foregoing shall be paid to the applicable holder of a UFBC Stock Option as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date and in no event later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date.

(b) Subject to the approval or consent of the holders thereof, each warrant or warrant agreement to purchase shares of UFBC Common Stock issued or entered into by UFBC (a “UFBC Warrant”), that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an obligation of CFNL to pay (or cause to be paid) and a right of the holder of the UFBC Warrant to receive, cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount equal to $38.26 minus the per share exercise price of such UFBC Warrant, and (ii) the number of shares of UFBC Common Stock subject to such UFBC Warrant. In the event that the product obtained by such calculation with respect to a UFBC Warrant is zero or a negative number, then such UFBC Warrant shall, immediately prior to the Effective Time, be cancelled for no consideration. The amount determined in accordance with the foregoing shall be paid to the applicable holder of a UFBC Warrant as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date and in no event later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date. In the event that any holder of a UFBC Warrant does not approve or consent to the conversion of such UFBC Warrant into the right to receive cash as set forth above, such UFBC Warrant will be converted into a warrant or warrant agreement of CFNL for CFNL Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the UFBC Warrant.

2.4 No Fractional Shares.

2.5 Anti-Dilution.

In the event CFNL changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of shares of CFNL Common Stock issued and outstanding before the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock

A-3

dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or similar transaction, appropriate and proportional adjustments will be made to the Exchange Ratio.

2.6 Dividends.

No dividend or other distribution payable to the holders of record of UFBC Common Stock at, or as of, any time after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any UFBC Common Certificate until such holder physically surrenders such certificate (or furnishes a surety bond or a customary indemnity that such certificate is lost, destroyed, stolen or otherwise missing as provided in Section 2.2(d)) for exchange as provided in Section 2.2 of this Plan of Merger, promptly after which time all such dividends or distributions will be paid (without interest).

2.7 Withholding Rights.

The Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any person such amounts, if any, as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code (as defined in the Agreement) or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax (as defined in the Agreement) law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority (as defined in the Agreement) by the Exchange Agent, such amounts withheld will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent.

2.8 Dissenting Shares.

Any holder of shares of UFBC Common Stock who perfects such holder’s appraisal rights in accordance with and as contemplated by Sections 13.1-729 through 13.1-741.1 of the VSCA shall be entitled to receive from CFNL, in lieu of the Merger Consideration, the value of such shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in cash as determined pursuant to the VSCA; provided, that no such payment shall be made to any dissenting stockholder unless and until such dissenting stockholder has complied with all applicable provisions of the VSCA, and surrendered to UFBC the certificate or certificates representing the shares for which payment is being made. In the event that after the Effective Time a dissenting stockholder of UFBC fails to perfect, or effectively withdraws or loses, such holder’s right to appraisal of and payment for such holder’s shares, CFNL shall issue and deliver the consideration to which such holder of shares of UFBC Common Stock is entitled under this Article 2 (without interest) upon surrender by such holder of the UFBC Common Certificate representing such shares.

(c) Authority. The Stockholder has full power, authority and legal capacity to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder.

(e) No Liens. The Shares and the certificates representing the Shares are now, and at all times during the term of this Agreement, will be, held by the Stockholder, or by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of the Stockholder, free and clear of all pledges, liens, security interests, claims, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, understandings or arrangements or any other encumbrances whatsoever (each, a “Lien”), except for (i) any Liens arising hereunder, and (ii) Liens, if any, which have been disclosed on Schedule B attached hereto.

(f) Consents and Approvals.

The Stockholder agrees that this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to the Shares and shall be binding upon any person or entity to which legal or beneficial ownership of the Shares shall pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including the Stockholder’s successors or assigns. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, exchange, reorganization, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of UFBC affecting the Shares, the number of Shares subject to the terms of this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted, and this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall attach to any additional securities of UFBC issued to or acquired by the Stockholder.

5. Capacity; Obligation to Vote.

The term “Shares” shall not include any securities beneficially owned by the Stockholder as a trustee or fiduciary, and this Agreement is not in any way intended to affect the exercise by the Stockholder of his or her fiduciary responsibility in respect of any such securities.

(b) The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding the provisions contained in Section 1 hereof, the Stockholder shall not be obligated to vote as required in Section 1 of this Agreement in the event that (i) CFNL is in material default with respect to any covenant, representation, warranty or agreement with respect to it contained in the Merger Agreement, or (ii) UFBC is otherwise entitled to terminate the Merger Agreement.

8. Specific Performance.

The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the applicable party hereto in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity.

FORM OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into on September 9, 2013 and shall be effective as of the Effective Date stated below, by and between CARDINAL BANK (“Cardinal Bank”) and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx (“you” and all similar references) (collectively, the “parties”).

INTRODUCTION

WHEREAS, Cardinal Bank is a subsidiary of Cardinal Financial Corporation (the “Company”);

WHEREAS, the Company and United Financial Banking Companies, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“UFBC”), have entered into the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated September 9, 2013 (as amended from time to time, the “Reorganization Agreement”), under which UFBC will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”) and thereafter, The Business Bank, a direct wholly-owned banking subsidiary of UFBC, will merge with and into Cardinal Bank after the Merger, with Cardinal Bank being the surviving bank (the “Bank Charter Consolidation”);

WHEREAS, you and Cardinal Bank have agreed that upon the consummation of the Bank Charter Consolidation, you shall become an employee of Cardinal Bank under the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to memorialize the terms and conditions of your employment.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and obligations by and between the parties under this Agreement, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

TERMS

1. Position, Title, Compensation and Benefits.

a. Your position, title, compensation and benefits are outlined on Exhibit A, attached hereto.

b. Your initial base salary will be at the annualized rate set forth in Exhibit A, less required and authorized withholding and deductions, payable in installments in accordance with Cardinal Bank’s normal payroll practices. You will be eligible for an annual merit increase, performance bonus, and stock option grants on the same basis as other

D-1

similarly situated Cardinal Bank Officers and subject to the terms of any applicable compensation, bonus and stock plans.

c. You will be eligible to participate on the same basis as similarly situated Officers in the Company’s benefit plans, including its 401(k) Plan and medical benefit plans in effect from time to time during your employment. All matters of eligibility for coverage or benefits under any benefit plan will be determined in accordance with the provisions of such plan. The Company or Cardinal Bank may change, alter, or terminate any benefit plan in its sole discretion. Your employment will also be subject to Cardinal Bank’s personnel policies and procedures as they may be interpreted, adopted, revised or deleted from time to time in the Cardinal Bank’s sole discretion.

2. Contract Term. The Effective Date of this Agreement will be the effective date of the Merger. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue from that date for three (3) years unless terminated prior thereto by either Cardinal Bank or you as provided in Section 4. If the parties do not wish to renew this Agreement when it expires at the end of the initial term or any renewal hereof as hereinafter provided or if either of the parties wishes to renew this Agreement on different terms than those contained herein, Cardinal Bank or you shall give written notice of such intent to the other party at least six (6) months prior to the expiration date. In the absence of such notice, this Agreement shall be renewed on the same terms and conditions contained herein for one year from the date of expiration of the initial term and each renewal thereof, up to a maximum of two (2) additional years. The parties expressly agree that designation of a term and renewal provisions in this Agreement does not in any way limit the right of the parties to terminate this Agreement at any time as hereinafter provided. References herein to the term of this Agreement shall refer both to the initial term and any successive term as the context requires. If Cardinal Bank gives notice of nonrenewal of this Agreement effective at the expiration of the initial term or the first renewal thereof, then you will be entitled to benefits under the terms of Section 4.b of this Agreement. You will not be entitled to benefits under Section 4.b of this Agreement if the Agreement expires five (5) years after the Effective Date.

3. Prohibition on Competition.

a. Prohibition on Competition. During the term of this Agreement and, after the termination of your employment by Cardinal Bank without Cause at any time or the termination of your employment by you for Good Reason (as defined below) pursuant to Section 4.c(ii) at any time, for the period during which you are receiving payments under Section 4.b(i) or 4.c.(ii), you shall not render or perform competing banking and/or financial services within twenty-five (25) miles from any Cardinal Bank location. This provision shall not be construed to prevent you from obtaining employment in the banking and/or financial services industries provided your new endeavor does not violate the above-stated prohibition.

b. Covenant Not to Solicit Clients or Prospective Clients. During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the termination of your employment for any reason, you agree not to contact any Client or Prospective Client of Cardinal Bank with whom you have had any contact on behalf of Cardinal Bank to perform or render banking and/or financial services. This provision shall not be

D-2

construed to prevent you from contacting clients with whom you have not had any contact during the term of this Agreement or from contacting clients during the term of this Agreement in connection with the performance of your duties for Cardinal Bank hereunder.

(i) For the purpose of this Agreement, “Client” means any entity for which Cardinal Bank has performed banking and/or financial services within the twelve (12) months prior to your termination date with whom you have had any contact. For the first twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, “Client” also means any entity for which UFBC has performed banking and/or financial services within twelve (12) months prior to the Effective Date. “Prospective Client” means any entity that is not a Client but with respect to whom, within twelve (12) months prior to your termination date, you conducted, prepared, submitted (or assisted or supervised such conduct) any client development work product or marketing efforts on behalf of Cardinal Bank. For the first six (6) months after the Effective Date, “Prospective Client” also means any entity for which any client development work product or marketing efforts was done on behalf of UFBC within twelve (12) months prior to the Effective Date.

c. Restriction on the Solicitation of Cardinal Bank’s Employees. During the term of this Agreement and for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the termination of your employment for any reason, you agree not to attempt to induce any Cardinal Bank employee to terminate his or her employment, or to seek or accept any employment with any other business entity that performs banking and/or financial services.

4. Termination of Employment Relationship. Your employment relationship with Cardinal Bank may be terminated by either party subject to the notice provision addressed below.

a. Cardinal Bank may terminate your employment for Cause effective immediately upon written notice. In the event that Cardinal Bank terminates your employment for Cause, you will be entitled to earned and unpaid base salary and payment for any earned and unused vacation days through the last date of your employment.

(i) For the purpose of this Agreement, “Cause” means any of the following conduct by you: (i) embezzlement, misappropriation of corporate funds or other material acts of dishonesty; (ii) commission or conviction of any felony or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to any felony; (iii) material failure to adhere to Cardinal Bank’s corporate codes, policies or procedures; (iv) insubordination or any act of gross misconduct. “Cause” shall also mean the revocation by any applicable regulatory authority of the necessary approvals for you to serve in your position with Cardinal Bank.

b. Cardinal Bank may terminate this agreement for any reason with thirty (30) days prior notice, pursuant to Section 10 below, to the other party.

(i) In the event your employment is terminated pursuant to this section 4.b or, to the extent provided in Section 2, not renewed by Cardinal Bank, Cardinal Bank shall pay you all earned and unpaid base salary through your last day of employment and

D-3

payment for any earned and unused vacation days. Additionally, (x) Cardinal Bank shall pay you your base salary at the then current rate for the period from your last day of employment through the then current expiration time of this Agreement, commencing sixty (60) days from your last day of employment (such applicable period is referred to as the “Severance Period”), less applicable withholdings and deductions, on Cardinal Bank’s regular payroll dates; and (y) if you are participating in the Company’s group health insurance plans on the effective date of termination, and you timely elect and remain eligible for continued coverage under COBRA, or, if applicable, state insurance laws, Cardinal Bank shall pay that portion of your COBRA premiums that Cardinal Bank was paying prior to the effective date of termination for the Severance Period or for the continuation period for which you are eligible, whichever is shorter. Cardinal Bank’s COBRA premium payment obligation will end immediately if you obtain health care insurance from any other source during the Severance Period. Notwithstanding item (x) of this subsection, above, to the extent required because you are a “specified employee” for purposes of section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), on the date of your termination, the payments described in such item (x) will commence on the first day of the month following the six-month anniversary of your date of termination, with the first payment to include amounts required to be delayed under this sentence. Interest shall accrue from the date amounts would have been paid absent the required delay, at the Prime Rate of Interest in effect on your date of termination and as reported in the Wall Street Journal. The six month delay described in this section shall only apply to the extent the exemption from Code Section 409A for certain amounts payable solely on an involuntary separation from service is not available. The exemption is available if amounts payable do not exceed two times the lesser of (a) your annual rate of pay for the year prior to the year of the separation from service or (b) the 401(a)(17) limit for the year of the separation from service.

(ii) The benefits provided to you pursuant to this Section 4.b are in lieu of, and not in addition to, any benefits to which you may otherwise be entitled under any Company or Cardinal Bank severance plan, policy or program.

c. You may voluntarily terminate your employment with Cardinal Bank upon thirty (30) days prior written notice directed to the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Chairman, President and CEO, in his sole capacity may waive this notice requirement.

(i) If your employment is terminated by you under this Section 4.c other than for Good Reason (which for purposes of this Section 4.c shall mean Good Reason as defined in Section 4.h of this Agreement), then Cardinal Bank shall pay your accrued salary through the date of termination and payment for any earned and unused vacation days and thereafter have no further obligation to pay compensation to you.

(ii) If your employment is terminated by you under this Section 4.c for Good Reason, as defined for purposes of this Section, then Cardinal Bank shall pay you the amounts provided in Section 4(b)(i).

D-4

d. In the event of your death, your employment will terminate as of the date of death. If your employment is terminated by reason of your death, then Cardinal Bank shall pay your accrued salary through the date of termination and payment for any earned and unused vacation days; and your base salary at the then current rate for the period from the date of death through the then current expiration time of this Agreement, and thereafter have no further obligation to pay compensation to you. The entitlement of any of your beneficiaries to benefits under any Company benefit plan shall be determined in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of such plan.

e. Subject to applicable state and federal law, Cardinal Bank shall at all times have the right, upon written notice to you, to terminate this Agreement based on your Disability (as defined below). Termination by Cardinal Bank of your employment based on “Disability” shall mean termination because you are unable due to a physical or mental condition to perform the essential functions of your position with or without reasonable accommodation for six (6) months in the aggregate during any twelve (12) month period or based on the written certification by two licensed physicians of the likely continuation of such condition for such period. This definition shall be interpreted and applied consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and other applicable law. In the event your employment is terminated based on your Disability, Cardinal Bank shall pay your accrued salary through the date of termination and payment for any earned and unused vacation days; and thereafter have no further obligation to pay compensation to you. The entitlement of any of your beneficiaries to benefits under any Company benefit plan shall be determined in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of such plan.

f. Regardless of the basis of your termination of employment, you agree to provide all assistance requested by Cardinal Bank in transitioning your duties, responsibilities, and client and other Cardinal Bank relationships to other Cardinal Bank personnel, both during your employment and after your termination or resignation. The level of services requested following termination will remain below the level that would result in a postponement of your “separation from service,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Code section 409A, beyond the date of your termination of employment.

g. You shall not receive any of the benefits pursuant to Section 4.b.(i) or 4.c.(ii) unless you execute a general release in favor of Cardinal Bank, in a form acceptable to Cardinal Bank (the “Release”) within sixty (60) days of your last day of employment and the Release becomes effective and can no longer be revoked by you under its terms. Your ability to receive benefits pursuant to Section 4.b(i) is further conditioned upon your: returning all Company property; complying with your post termination obligations under this Agreement; and complying with the Release including without limitation any non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions contained therein you execute.

h. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means any of the following, provided you give written notice of the Good Reason condition(s) described in (i) — (iii) to Cardinal Bank or its successor within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the condition(s), and Cardinal Bank or its successor has not cured such condition(s) within thirty (30) days of your notice:

D-5

(i) A material diminution in:

1. Your base compensation; or

2. Your authority, duties or responsibilities.

(ii) A material change in the geographic location at which you are required to perform services; or

(iii) Any other change to your employment by Cardinal or its successor that would constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

5. Assignment and Survival. The rights and obligations of Cardinal Bank under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of Cardinal Bank. Your rights and obligations are personal, and may not be assigned or delegated without the Company’s proper written consent. The Agreement shall continue despite any liquidation or dissolution of Cardinal Bank.

6. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity shall not nullify the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court or arbitration tribunal to be overly broad in duration, geographical coverage or scope, or unenforceable for any other reason, such provision will be narrowed so that it will be enforced as much as permitted by law.

7. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. You and Cardinal Bank consent to the jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court in the Commonwealth of Virginia and agree that any permitted lawsuit may be brought to such courts or other court of competent jurisdiction. Each party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to assert, and agrees to cause its affiliates to waive, release and not assert, any rights such party or its affiliates may have under any foreign law or regulation that would be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement as governed by Virginia law.

8. Waiver. Any party’s waiver of any other party’s breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive any other right or any future breaches of the same or any other provision.

9. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands or other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given either manually or by registered or certified mail. Either party may, by written notice to the other party, change their address for receipt of such notice.
