Preamble

The respective Boards of Directors of NCC, NBC and RBF have determined that the transactions described herein are in the best interests of the Parties and their respective stockholders. This Agreement provides for the acquisition of RBF by NCC pursuant to the merger (the “Merger”) of RBF with and into NBC, which is a wholly owned Subsidiary of NCC. At the effective time of the Merger, and except as provided herein, the outstanding shares of the capital stock of RBF shall be converted into the right to receive shares of common stock of NCC or, at the election of the stockholders of RBF, into cash (subject to the requirements and limitations set forth herein). As a result, stockholders of RBF shall become stockholders of NCC and the assets and operations of RBF and NBC shall be combined under the charter of NBC.

The transactions described in or otherwise contemplated by this Agreement are subject to, among other things: (i) the filing by NCC and the effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to the shares of common stock of NCC to be issued to stockholders of RBF in the Merger; (ii) the approval of the stockholders of RBF; (iii) the approval of NCC as the sole shareholder of NBC: (iv) the approval of the OCC; and (v) the satisfaction of certain other conditions described in this Agreement. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that, for federal income tax purposes, the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC.

Certain capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Section 11.1 of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3

CONVERSION OF CONSTITUENTS’ CAPITAL STOCK

3.1 Manner of Converting Shares. Subject to the provisions of this Article 3, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of NCC, NBC, RBF or the holders of any shares of capital stock thereof, the shares of capital stock and rights and options to acquire shares of capital stock of the constituent corporations shall be converted as follows:

(a) NCC Capital Stock. Each share of capital stock of NCC issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be issued and outstanding from and after the Effective Time.

(b) NBC Capital Stock. Each share of capital stock of NBC issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Surviving Association, issued to NCC and outstanding as of the Effective Time, and the Surviving Association shall be a wholly owned Subsidiary of NCC.

(c) RBF Common Stock Held by Parties. Each share of RBF Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time that is owned, directly or indirectly, by any RBF Company or any NCC Company (other than shares of RBF Common Stock held in trust accounts (including grantor or rabbi trust accounts), managed accounts and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary or agency capacity, that are beneficially owned by third parties and other than shares of RBF Common Stock held, directly or indirectly, in respect of a debt previously contracted) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof, and no shares of NCC Common Stock, cash or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(d) Exchange Ratio for RBF Common Stock. Subject to Section 3.2 below, each share of RBF Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding (i) shares cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(c) above, (ii) Cash Election Shares described in Section 3.1(e) below, and (iii) shares held by stockholders who perfect their dissenters’ rights of appraisal as provided in Section 3.3 below) shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive 0.7273 shares of NCC Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”).

(e) Cash Election Shares.

(i) Holders of RBF Common Stock shall be provided with an opportunity to elect to receive cash consideration in lieu of receiving NCC Common Stock in the Merger, in accordance with the election procedures set forth below. Holders who elect to receive cash in lieu of exchanging their shares of RBF Common Stock for NCC Common Stock as specified

below shall receive $16.00, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) for each share of RBF Common Stock that is so converted (each, a “Cash Election Share”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares shall be equal to, as nearly as practicable, but in no event shall exceed 460,355 (the “Cash Share Limitation”), and the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration shall be equal to, as nearly as practicable, but in no event shall exceed $7,365,680 (the “Total Cash Amount”). At the Effective Time, each Cash Election Share shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration.

(ii) The Exchange Agent shall mail an election form in such form as NCC and RBF shall mutually agree (the “Election Form”) with or following the issuance of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, to each holder of record of RBF Common Stock. Each Election Form shall permit a holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) of RBF Common Stock to elect to receive cash with respect to all or a portion of such holder’s RBF Common Stock, subject to the Cash Share Limitation in Section 3.1(e)(i) above.

(iii) Any shares of RBF Common Stock with respect to which the holder shall not have submitted to the Exchange Agent an effective, properly completed Election Form prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the day before the RBF Stockholders’ Meeting (or such other time and date as NCC and RBF may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”), and any shares of RBF Common Stock with respect to which the holder shall have submitted an Election Form prior to the Election Deadline but with respect to which such holder shall have elected not to receive cash, shall, subject to the proration procedure in subsection (v) below, be converted into NCC Common Stock at the Effective Time as set forth in, and subject to, Section 3.1(d) of this Agreement (all such shares described in this subsection (iii) being referred to as “Stock Election Shares”).

(iv) Any Election Form may be revoked or amended by the Person submitting such Election Form at or prior to the Election Deadline. In the event that an Election Form is revoked and a replacement Election Form therefor is not submitted prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of RBF Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become Stock Election Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither NCC nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form.

(v) Within five (5) Business Days after the Election Deadline, unless the Effective Time has not yet occurred, in which case as soon thereafter as practicable, the allocation among the holders of RBF Common Stock in accordance with the Election Forms shall be effected by the Exchange Agent as follows:

(A) Cash Elections More Than the Total Cash Amount. If the aggregate amount of cash that would be paid upon conversion in the Merger of the Cash Election Shares (the “Potential Cash Payment”) is greater than the Total Cash Amount, then:

(1) the number of Cash Election Shares designated by each holder of RBF Common Stock who properly submitted an Election Form shall be automatically reduced to that number of shares equal to the product of (i) the number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares designated in the Election Form and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Cash Share Limitation, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares designated in all Election Forms;

(2) each Cash Election Share remaining after adjustment pursuant to subsection (1) above shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(i);

(3) each share of RBF Common Stock that would have been a Cash Election Share but for the adjustment pursuant to subsection (1) above shall automatically be deemed to be a Stock Election Share; and

(4) each Stock Election Share, including those so designated pursuant to subsection (3) above, shall be converted into the right to receive NCC Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(d).

(B) Cash Elections Less Than the Total Cash Amount. If the Potential Cash Payment is less than the Total Cash Amount, then:

(1) the Exchange Agent shall select first from among the Stock Election Shares that obtained such status because the holders thereof did not submit an effective, properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline, by a pro rata selection process, and then (if necessary) from among the remaining Stock Election Shares, by a pro rata selection process, a sufficient number of Stock Election Shares to instead receive the Per Share Cash Consideration such that the aggregate cash amount that will be paid in the Merger equals as closely as practicable but does not exceed the Total Cash Amount, and each share of RBF Common Stock that would have been a Stock Election Share but for the adjustment pursuant to this subsection (1) shall automatically be deemed to be a Cash Election Share. The pro rata selection process to be used by the Exchange Agent shall consist of such equitable proration processes as shall be mutually determined by NCC and RBF before the Effective Time;

(2) each Cash Election Share, including those so designated pursuant to subsection (1) above, shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(i); and

(3) each Stock Election Share remaining after the adjustment process pursuant to subsection (1) above shall be converted into the right to receive NCC Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(d).

(C) Cash Elections Equal to the Total Cash Amount. If the Potential Cash Payment is equal or nearly equal (as determined by the Exchange Agent) to (but in no event in excess of) the Total Cash Amount, then subsections (A) and (B) above shall not apply and:

(1) each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(i); and

(2) each Stock Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive NCC Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(d).

(f) RBF Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase shares of RBF Common Stock pursuant to the RBF Stock Option Plans (each, an “RBF Option”) will cease to represent an option to purchase RBF Common Stock and will be converted automatically into an option to purchase NCC Common Stock (each, an “NCC Option”), and NCC will assume each RBF Option subject to its terms, including any acceleration in vesting that will occur as a consequence of the Merger according to the instruments governing such RBF Option; provided, however, that after the Effective Time:

(i) the number of shares of NCC Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of each RBF Option will equal the product of (A) the number of shares of RBF Common Stock that were purchasable under the RBF Option immediately before the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole share;

(ii) the per share exercise price for each RBF Option will equal the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of the RBF Option in effect immediately before the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest cent; and

(iii) where the context so requires, all references to RBF shall be deemed to be references to NCC and its Subsidiaries, and all references to the RBF Board (or the Compensation Committee thereof) shall be deemed to be references to the NCC Board (or the Compensation Committee thereof).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each RBF Option that is intended to be an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the IRC) will be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Section 424 of the IRC. As of the date hereof, the RBF Options provide for the purchase of no more than an aggregate of 286,343 additional shares of RBF Common Stock. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, NCC shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate forms) with the SEC, with respect to the shares of NCC Common Stock subject to converted or substitute RBF Options and shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses associated therewith) for so long as such converted or substitute RBF Options remain outstanding. Subject to the foregoing, the RBF Stock Option Plans shall be frozen as of the Effective Time such that no additional options shall be available or granted thereunder following the Effective Time.

(g) Maximum Shares of NCC Common Stock. Assuming that (i) there are no RBF Dissenting Shares, (ii) there is no adjustment to the Exchange Ratio pursuant to Section 3.2

below, (iii) the number of Cash Election Shares equals the Cash Share Limitation, and (iv) the holders of RBF Options exercise all of the RBF Options and/or all of the NCC Options, as the case may be (and do so by paying the exercise price in cash), the holders of RBF Common Stock and holders of RBF Options shall have the right to receive, in the aggregate, a maximum of 1,547,521 shares of NCC Common Stock as a result of the Merger.

3.2 Anti-Dilution Provisions. If NCC changes the number of shares of NCC Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or similar recapitalization with respect to such stock and the record date therefor is prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted as needed to preserve the relative economic benefit to the Parties provided for in Section 3.1(d).

3.3 RBF Dissenting Stockholders. Notwithstanding Section 3.1 or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of RBF Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a holder who has perfected his dissenters’ rights in accordance with 12 U.S.C. § 215a(b)-(d) (“RFB Dissenting Shares”) shall not be treated as either Stock Election Shares or Cash Election Shares and shall not be converted into the right to receive either shares of NCC Common Stock or the Per Share Cash Consideration, but instead the holder of such RBF Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to such rights of appraisal as are granted by 12 U.S.C. § 215a(b)-(d) (“Dissenter Provisions”), unless and until such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses his or her right to appraisal; provided, however, that no payment in connection with RBF Dissenting Shares shall be made to any dissenting stockholder unless and until such dissenting stockholder has complied with the applicable provisions of the Dissenter Provisions and surrendered to the Surviving Association the certificate or certificates representing the RBF Dissenting Shares for which payment is being made; provided, further, that nothing contained in this Section 3.3 shall in any way limit the right of NCC to terminate this Agreement and abandon the Merger under Section 10.1(i). At the Effective Time, each such RBF Dissenting Share shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist or be outstanding, and the holder thereof shall cease to have any right with respect thereto, except the right to appraisal in accordance with applicable Law. If any Dissenting Stockholder (as defined below) fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, the shares of RBF Common Stock owned by such stockholder shall thereupon be deemed and treated as if they had, at the Effective Time, been Stock Election Shares and converted into the right to receive shares of NCC Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.1(d), subject to the proration adjustment process in Section 3.1(e)(v). RBF shall give NCC prompt notice upon receipt by RBF of any written objection to the Merger and such written demands for payment for shares of RBF Common Stock under the Dissenter Provisions, and the withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments provided to RBF pursuant to the Dissenter Provisions (any stockholder duly making such demand being called a “Dissenting Stockholder”). Each Dissenting Stockholder that becomes entitled, pursuant to the Dissenter Provisions, to payment for any shares of RBF Common Stock held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall receive payment therefor from NCC or NBC (but only after the amount thereof shall have been agreed upon or at the times and in the amounts required by the Dissenter Provisions). RBF shall not, except with the prior written consent of NCC, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any demand for payment by a Dissenting Stockholder.

3.4 Fractional Shares. Fractional shares of NCC Common Stock shall not be issued upon the surrender of certificates representing RBF Common Stock for exchange; no dividend or distribution with respect to NCC Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share; and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of NCC. In lieu of any such fractional share, NCC shall pay to each former stockholder of RBF who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of NCC Common Stock an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (i) the Average Quoted Price multiplied by (ii) the fraction of a share of NCC Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled.

ARTICLE 4

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

4.1 Exchange Procedures. Promptly (and within five (5) Business Days) after the Effective Time, NCC shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the former stockholders of RBF appropriate transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing shares of RBF Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent). After completion of the allocation procedure set forth in Section 3.1(e)(v) and upon surrender of a certificate or certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent (such shares to be free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances), together with a properly executed letter of transmittal, the holder of such certificate or certificates shall be entitled to receive promptly thereafter in exchange therefor: (a) that number of whole shares of NCC Common Stock which such holder of RBF Common Stock became entitled to receive pursuant to Article 3 hereof and (b) a check representing the aggregate cash consideration, if any, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 hereof, and the certificate or certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The shares of NCC Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Article 3 and this Section 4.1 shall be in uncertificated book entry form, and upon compliance by a former holder of shares of RBF Common Stock with the provisions hereof and of the letter of transmittal, NCC shall instruct its registrar and transfer agent to make appropriate book entries with respect to such shares of NCC Common Stock. Such book entries of the issuance of uncertificated shares shall constitute delivery thereof for all purposes pursuant to this Agreement. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Per Share Cash Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares, or any unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, payable to holders of certificates for RBF Common Stock. Neither NCC, NBC nor the Exchange Agent shall be obligated to deliver the consideration to which any former holder of RBF Common Stock is entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the certificate or certificates representing the shares of RBF Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Section 4.1. The certificate or certificates for RBF Common Stock so surrendered shall be duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may require.

4.2 Rights of Former RBF Stockholders. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of RBF shall be closed as to holders of RBF Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, and no transfer of RBF Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement, each certificate theretofore representing shares of RBF Common Stock (each, an “RBF Certificate”), other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 3.1(c)

of this Agreement or as to which dissenter’s rights of appraisal have been perfected as provided in Section 3.3 of this Agreement, shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the consideration provided in Section 3.1 of this Agreement in exchange therefor. To the extent permitted by Law, former stockholders of record of RBF Common Stock shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time at any meeting of NCC stockholders (with a record date after the Effective Time) the number of whole shares of NCC Common Stock into which their respective shares of RBF Common Stock (excluding Cash Election Shares) have been converted, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged their RBF Certificates for shares of NCC Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by NCC on the NCC Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, the declaration shall include dividends or other distributions on all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any Person holding any RBF Certificate at or after six (6) months after the Effective Time (the “Cutoff”) shall not be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution payable after the Cutoff to holders of NCC Common Stock, which dividend or other distribution is attributable to such Person’s NCC Common Stock represented by said RBF Certificate held after the Cutoff, until such Person surrenders such RBF Certificate for exchange as provided in Section 4.1 of this Agreement. However, upon surrender of such RBF Certificate, appropriate book entries shall be made with respect to the NCC Common Stock and all such undelivered dividends or other distributions (without interest) and any undelivered cash payments (without interest) shall be delivered and paid with respect to each share represented by such RBF Certificate. No holder of shares of RBF Common Stock shall be entitled to voting rights or to receive any dividends or distributions declared or made with respect to the NCC Common Stock with a record date before the Effective Time.

4.3 Identity of Recipient of NCC Common Stock. In the event that the delivery of the consideration provided for in this Agreement is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any certificate representing shares of RBF Common Stock surrendered is registered, such certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer), with the signature(s) appropriately guaranteed, and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such delivery shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the delivery to a Person other than the registered holder of such certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of NCC that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

4.4 Lost or Stolen Certificates. If any holder of RBF Common Stock convertible into the right to receive shares of NCC Common Stock or cash is unable to deliver the RBF Certificate that represents RBF Common Stock, NCC shall instruct its registrar and transfer agent, in the absence of actual notice that any such shares have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, to make appropriate book entries with respect to such holder for the shares of NCC Common Stock to which the holder is entitled for such shares upon presentation of the following: (a) evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of NCC that any such RBF Certificate has been lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed; (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably requested by NCC to indemnify and hold NCC and the Exchange Agent harmless; and (c) evidence satisfactory to NCC that such Person is the owner of the shares theretofore represented by each RBF Certificate claimed by the holder to be lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed and that the holder is the Person who would be entitled to present such RBF Certificate for exchange pursuant to this Agreement.

4.5 Laws of Escheat. If any of the consideration due or other payments to be paid or delivered to the holders of RBF Common Stock is not paid or delivered within the time period specified by any applicable Laws concerning abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, and if such failure to pay or deliver such consideration occurs or arises out of the fact that such property is not claimed by the proper owner thereof, NCC or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled (but not required) to dispose of any such consideration or other payments in accordance with applicable Laws concerning abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, none of NCC, NBC, the Exchange Agent or any other Person acting on their behalf shall be liable to a holder of RBF Common Stock for any amount paid or property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

ARTICLE 5

Subject to such requisite stockholder approval and required regulatory consents, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of RBF, enforceable against RBF in accordance with its terms.

Any RBF Benefit Plan that is an “employee pension benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, is referred to herein as an “RBF ERISA Plan.” No RBF Benefit Plan is or has been a “defined benefit plan” (as defined in Section 414(j) of the IRC) or a “multi-employer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA).

(b) All RBF Benefit Plans and the administration thereof are in, and have been in, compliance with the applicable terms of ERISA, the IRC and any other applicable Laws, the breach or violation of which is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on RBF. Each RBF ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC and each corresponding trust exempt under Section 501(a) of the IRC has received a favorable determination letter or may rely upon an opinion letter issued to the sponsor of a prototype or volume submitter arrangement, as applicable, from the Internal Revenue Service, and RBF is not aware of any circumstances that could result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter/opinion letter. No transaction has been entered into with respect to any RBF Benefit Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date hereof, would subject any RBF Company to a tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the IRC or Section 502(i) of ERISA in amounts that are reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on RBF. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations or claims, including any investigations or audits by the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority pending (other than routine claims for benefits) or threatened against any RBF Benefit Plan, any RBF Company or ERISA affiliate with regard to any RBF Benefit Plan, any trust that is a part of any RBF Benefit Plan, any trustee, fiduciary, custodian, administrator or other person or entity holding or controlling assets of any RBF Benefit Plan, and no basis for anticipating any such action, suit, arbitration, claim, investigation or audit exists.

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.14(c), neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions provided for herein will (i) result in any payment (including, without limitation, severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute or otherwise) becoming due to any director, officer or employee of any RBF Company from any RBF Company under any RBF Benefit Plan, employment contract or otherwise, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any RBF Benefit Plan, or (iii) result in any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefit.

(d) With respect to all RBF Benefit Plans (whether or not subject to ERISA and whether or not qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC), all contributions due (including any contributions to any trust account or payments due under any insurance policy) previously declared or otherwise required by Law or contract to have been made and any employer contributions (including any contributions to any trust account or payments due under any insurance policy) accrued but unpaid as of the date hereof will be paid by the time required by Law or contract. All contributions required to be made under any RBF Benefit Plan have been made by the applicable due date and such contributions meet the requirements for deductibility under the IRC, and all contributions that are required and that have not been made have been properly recorded on the books of RBF.

(e) Each contract, arrangement, plan, or RBF Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined for purposes of Section 409A(d)(1) of the IRC) has been maintained and is, in form and operation, in compliance with Section 409A of the IRC and the applicable guidance issued thereunder. No amounts under any such contract, arrangement, plan, or such RBF Benefit Plan are or have been subject to the interest or additional tax set forth under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the IRC. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.14(e), no RBF Company or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to gross-up or indemnify any Person with respect to any Taxes imposed under Section 409A of the IRC.

(f) (i) Each RBF Benefit Plan that is a “group health plan” (within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the IRC) has been operated in compliance in all material respects with all Laws applicable to such plan, its terms, and with the group health plan continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the IRC and Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA (“COBRA Coverage”), Section 4980D of the IRC and Sections 701 through 707 of ERISA, Title XXII of the Public Health Service Act and the provisions of the Social Security Act, to the extent such requirements are applicable. No RBF Benefit Plan or written or oral agreement exists that obligates the RBF Companies or any ERISA Affiliate to provide health care coverage, medical, surgical, hospitalization, death or similar benefits (whether or not insured) to any employee, former employee or member of the RBF Board or any ERISA affiliate following such employee’s, former employee’s or director’s termination of employment, including, but not limited to, retiree medical, health or life benefits, other than as required under COBRA Coverage or other similar applicable Law.

(ii) No RBF Benefit Plan, excluding any short-term disability, non-qualified deferred compensation or health flexible spending account plan or program, is self-funded, self-insured or funded through the general assets of an RBF Company or an ERISA affiliate. No RBF Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan under Section 3(1) of ERISA is funded by a trust or is subject to Section 419 or 419A of the IRC.

6.10 Statements True and Correct. Neither this Agreement nor any statement, certificate, instrument or other writing furnished or to be furnished by any NCC Company or any Affiliate thereof to RBF pursuant to this Agreement, including the Exhibits or Schedules hereto, contains or will contain any untrue statement of material fact or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by any NCC Company or any Affiliate thereof for inclusion in (i) the documents to be filed with the SEC, including without limitation the S-4 Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to RBF’s stockholders in connection with the RBF Stockholders’ Meeting and (ii) any other documents to be filed by an NCC Company or any Affiliate thereof with the SEC or any other Regulatory Authority in connection with the transactions provided for herein, will, at the respective time such documents are filed, and with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, when first mailed to the stockholders of RBF, be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All documents that any NCC Company or any Affiliate thereof is responsible for filing with any Regulatory Authority in connection with the transactions provided for herein will comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of applicable Law.

6.11 Tax and Regulatory Matters. No NCC Company has taken any action or has any Knowledge of any fact or circumstance that is reasonably likely to (i) prevent the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC, or (ii) materially impede or delay receipt of any Consents of Regulatory Authorities referred to in Section 9.1(b) of this Agreement or result in the imposition of a condition or restriction of the type referred to in the last sentence of such Section.

6.12 1933 Act and 1934 Act Compliance. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus will comply in all material respects with applicable provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; provided, however, that NCC makes no representation or warranty with respect to any information provided by or on behalf of any RBF Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

6.13 Regulatory Approvals. NCC knows of no reason why all requisite regulatory approvals regarding the Merger should not or cannot be obtained.

6.14 Opinion of Counsel. NCC has no Knowledge of any facts that would preclude issuance of the opinion of counsel referred to in Section 9.1(e).

6.15 Absence of Certain Business Practices. Since December 31, 2014, no NCC Company or, to the Knowledge of any NCC Company, any officer, employee or agent of any NCC Company, or any other Person acting on their behalf, has, directly or indirectly, given or agreed to give any gift or similar benefit to any customer, supplier, governmental employee or other Person who is or may be in a position to help or hinder the business of any NCC Company (or assist any NCC Company in connection with any actual or proposed transaction) that (a) might subject NCC to any damage or penalty in any civil, criminal or governmental Litigation or proceeding, (b) if not given in the past, might have resulted in a Material Adverse Effect on NCC or (c) if not continued in the future, might result in a Material Adverse Effect on NCC or might subject NCC to suit or penalty in any private or governmental Litigation or proceeding.

6.16 Accounting Controls. Each of the NCC Companies maintains accurate books and records reflecting its assets and Liabilities and maintains proper and adequate internal accounting controls that provide assurance that (i) transactions are executed with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the NCC Financial Statements and NCC Call Reports in accordance with GAAP and RAP, and to maintain asset and Liability accountability; (iii) access to each NCC Company’s assets and incurrence of each NCC Company’s Liabilities are permitted only in accordance with management’s specific or general authorizations; (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and Liabilities is compared with the existing assets and Liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any difference; and (v) extensions of credit and other receivables are recorded accurately, and proper and adequate procedures are implemented to effect the collection thereof on a current and timely basis. None of NCC’s systems, controls, data or information are recorded, stored, maintained, operated or otherwise wholly or partly dependent on or held by any means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) which (including all means of access thereto and therefrom) are not under the exclusive ownership and direct control of the NCC Companies or their accountants, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on NCC. No NCC Company has been advised of any material deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect its ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data, or any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management. No material weakness in internal controls has been identified by NCC’s auditors, and there have been no significant changes in internal controls that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect internal controls.

The NCC Board has received the opinion (which, if initially rendered verbally, has been or will be confirmed by a written opinion, dated the same date) of the NCC Financial Advisor to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the factors, assumptions, and limitations set forth therein, the Exchange Ratio and the Per Share Cash Consideration are fair, from a financial point of view, to NCC. The NCC Board may, at its option, elect to have the final fairness opinion updated immediately prior to the Effective Time in order to account for any Material Adverse Effect that may have occurred with regard to RBF.

(c) At the election of NCC, with respect to each parcel of real property as to which a title insurance policy is to be procured pursuant to Section 8.11(b) above, RBF, at NCC’s expense, will procure and deliver to NCC at least thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, a survey of such real property, which survey shall be reasonably acceptable to and shall be prepared by a licensed surveyor reasonably acceptable to NCC, disclosing the locations of all improvements, easements, sidewalks, roadways, utility lines and other matters customarily shown on such surveys and showing access affirmatively to public streets and roads and providing the legal description of the property in a form suitable for recording and insuring the title thereof. Such surveys shall not disclose any survey defect or encroachment from or onto such real property that has not been cured or insured over prior to the Effective Time. In addition, RBF shall deliver to NCC a complete legal description for each parcel of real estate or interest owned, leased or subleased by any RBF Company or in which any RBF Company has any ownership or leasehold interest.

8.12 Compliance Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, RBF shall take, or cause to be taken, all commercially reasonable steps requested by NCC to cure any deficiencies in regulatory compliance by RBF; provided, however, that NCC shall not be responsible for discovering such defects, shall not have any obligation to disclose the existence of such defects to RBF, and shall not have any Liability resulting from such deficiencies or attempts to cure them.

8.13 Conforming Accounting and Reserve Policies.

8.16 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) For a period of three (3) years after the Effective Time, NCC shall indemnify each director and officer of RBF (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all Liabilities arising out of actions or omissions occurring upon or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the extent permitted under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of RBF as in effect on the date of this Agreement, subject to (i) the limitations and requirements of such articles of incorporation and bylaws, and (ii) applicable Law, including, without limitation, Section 607.0850 of the FBCA. During the period beginning on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, NCC shall indemnify each Indemnified Party against all Liabilities arising out of actions or omissions occurring upon or prior to the Effective Time (including without limitation the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the extent mandated under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of RBF as in effect on the date of this Agreement or under the FBCA as in effect on the date of this Agreement, subject in all events to (i) the limitations and requirements of such articles of incorporation and bylaws, and (ii) applicable Law, including, without limitation, Section 607.0850 of the FBCA.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 8.16(a) above, upon learning of any such Liability or Litigation, shall promptly notify NCC thereof; provided that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligation of NCC under this Section 8.16 unless, and only to the extent that, NCC is actually and materially prejudiced in the defense of such claim as a consequence. In the event of any claim or Litigation that may give rise to indemnity obligations on the part of NCC (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) NCC shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, and NCC shall not be liable to such

Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that if NCC elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Party advises that there are substantive issues that raise conflicts of interest between NCC and the Indemnified Party under the rules of professional ethics, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel satisfactory to him or her, and NCC shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Party; provided, that NCC shall be obligated to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction; (ii) all Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such Litigation; and (iii) NCC shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent; and provided further, that NCC shall not have any obligation hereunder to the extent such arrangements are prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) For a period of five (5) years following the Effective Time, NCC will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide director’s and officer’s liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of RBF or its Subsidiaries (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from facts or events occurring before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated hereby), which insurance will contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Party, as the coverage currently provided by RBF as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) if NCC is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 8.16(c), then NCC will provide as much comparable insurance as is reasonably available, (ii) officers and directors of RBF or its Subsidiaries may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to the carrier of the D&O Insurance for the purpose of obtaining such insurance, and (iii) in satisfaction of its obligations under this Section 8.16(c), NCC may require RBF to purchase, prior to but effective as of the Effective Time, tail insurance providing such coverage prior to Closing. Whether NCC or RBF shall procure such coverage, in no event shall RBF expend, or NCC be required to expend, for such tail insurance a premium amount in excess of $160,000 (the “Maximum D&O Tail Premium”). If the cost of such tail insurance exceeds the Maximum D&O Tail Premium, then RBF or NCC, as applicable, shall obtain tail insurance coverage or a separate tail insurance policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum D&O Tail Premium.

(d) If NCC or any of its successors and assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its property and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of NCC and its Subsidiaries shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 8.16. The provisions of this Section 8.16 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.

8.17 System Integration. From and after the date hereof, subject to applicable Law and regulation, RBF shall, and shall cause its directors, officers and employees to, and shall make all commercially reasonable efforts (without undue disruption to either business) to cause its data processing consultants and software providers to, cooperate and assist RBF and NBC in connection with an electronic and systematic conversion of all applicable data of RBF to the NBC system following the Effective Time, including the training of RBF employees during normal business hours without undue disruption to RBF’s business.

8.18 Coordination; Integration. Subject to applicable Law and regulation, during the period from the date hereof until the Effective Time, RBF shall cause the Chief Executive Officer of RBF or, if such Person is unavailable, another senior officer thereof, to assist and confer with the officers of NBC, on a weekly basis, relating to the development, coordination and implementation of the post-Merger operating and integration plans of NBC, as the resulting institution in the Merger. Notwithstanding the conversion of the core processing and other data processing and information systems of RBF in conjunction with the Merger, and subject to applicable provisions of Law and non-objection from any Regulatory Authorities, following the Merger the former main office and branches of RBF, along with any branches of NBC in the same market area and under common day-to-day management with the former branches of RBF, will operate and conduct business under the trade name “Reunion Bank of Florida, a division of National Bank of Commerce” for at least two (2) years following the Effective Time (along with signage, stationery and marketing materials in such name).

8.19 Non-Competition Agreements. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and effective upon the Effective Time, each non-employee director of RBF has executed and delivered to NCC a Non-Competition Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

8.20 Claims Letters. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and effective upon the Effective Time, each director of RBF has executed and delivered a Claims Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

8.21 Employment Agreements.

(a) As of the date of this Agreement, RBF has entered into agreements that terminate, effective immediately prior to (and subject to the occurrence of) the Effective Time, the employment, consulting, severance, change in control, or similar agreements or arrangements with the individuals set forth on Schedule 8.21(a) (collectively, the “Employment Agreement Termination Letters”). The foregoing terminations shall be for payment amounts not to exceed those set forth on Schedule 8.21(a).

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, NBC (as successor to RBF) has entered into 5-year employment and non-competition agreements that become effective as of (and subject to the occurrence of) the Effective Time with the individuals set forth on Schedule 8.21(b) and in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(c) As of the date of this Agreement, NBC (as successor to RBF) has entered into 3-year employment and noncompetition agreements that become effective as of (and subject to the occurrence of) the Effective Time with the individuals set forth on Schedule 8.21(c) and in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (collectively with the agreements referenced in Section 8.21(b) above, the “Employment Agreements”).

8.22 Section 280G Matters. Prior to the Closing, NCC and RBF will work together in good faith to attempt to implement mutually satisfactory arrangements such that the Merger will

not trigger or result in any payment, including without limitation any “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the IRC, that could be disallowed as a deduction or result in the payment of excise taxes under Section 280G of the IRC.

8.23 Employee Matters.

(a) Following the Effective Time, NCC shall maintain or cause to be maintained employee benefit plans and compensation opportunities for the benefit of employees (as a group) who are full-time active employees of RBF and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date (“Covered Employees”) that provide employee benefits and compensation opportunities that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to the employee benefits and compensation opportunities that are made available on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis to similarly situated employees of NCC or its Subsidiaries, as applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall any Covered Employee be eligible to participate in any closed or frozen plan of NCC or its Subsidiaries. Subject to applicable Law and the terms and conditions of NCC’s benefit plans and the requirements of the insurers thereunder, NCC shall give the Covered Employees full credit for their prior service with RBF (i) for purposes of eligibility (including initial participation and eligibility for current benefits) and vesting under any qualified or non-qualified employee benefit plan maintained by NCC and in which Covered Employees may be eligible to participate and (ii) for all purposes under any welfare benefit plans, vacation plans and similar arrangements maintained by NCC (which shall not include, for the sake of clarity, any severance obligations under Section 8.23(e) below). Each Covered Employee’s accrued paid time off and unused sick time will be credited towards one or a combination of NCC’s welfare benefit plans.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan of NCC that is a health, dental, vision or other welfare plan in which any Covered Employee is eligible to participate, for the plan year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate, NCC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause any pre-existing condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such NCC plan to be waived with respect to such Covered Employee to the extent such condition was or would have been covered under the RBF Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) recognize any health, dental, vision or other welfare expenses incurred by such Covered Employee in the year that includes the Closing Date (or, if later, the year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate) for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such health, dental, vision or other welfare plan.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, RBF shall take all actions requested by NCC that may be necessary or appropriate to (i) cause one or more RBF Benefits Plans to terminate as of the Effective Time, or as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Time, (ii) cause benefit accruals and entitlements under any RBF Benefit Plan to cease as of the Effective Time, or as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Time, (iii) cause the continuation on and after the Effective Time of any contract, arrangement or insurance policy relating to any RBF Benefit Plan for such period as may be requested by NCC, or (iv) facilitate the merger of any RBF Benefit Plan into any employee benefit plan maintained by NCC. All resolutions, notices, or other documents issued, adopted or executed in connection with the implementation of this Section 8.23(c) shall be subject to NCC’s reasonable prior review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) Nothing in this Section 8.23 shall be construed to limit the right of NCC or any of its Subsidiaries to amend or terminate any RBF Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, nor shall anything in this Section 8.23 be construed to require NCC or any of its Subsidiaries to retain the employment of any particular Covered Employee for any fixed period of time following the Closing Date, and the continued retention (or termination) by NCC or any of its Subsidiaries of any Covered Employee subsequent to the Effective Time shall be subject in all events to NCC’s or its applicable Subsidiary’s normal and customary employment procedures and practices, including customary background screening and evaluation procedures and satisfactory employment performance.

(e) If, within nine (9) months after the Effective Time, any Covered Employee is terminated by any NCC Company solely as a result of the Merger (i.e., elimination of duplicative jobs, etc.), and not as a result of inadequate performance or other good cause, NCC will pay severance to such Covered Employee in an amount equal to two (2) weeks’ pay for each twelve (12) months of such Covered Employee’s prior employment with RBF; provided, however, that in no event will the total amount of severance for any single employee exceed $25,000 in the aggregate. Any severance to which a Covered Employee may be entitled in connection with a termination occurring more than nine (9) months after the Effective Time will be as set forth in, and subject to, the severance policies of NCC and its Subsidiaries as then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.23(e) does not apply to or benefit the individuals listed on Schedule 8.23(e), each of whom is a party to an employment agreement with RBF as of the date of this Agreement.

(f) At the Effective Time, NBC shall assume the Reunion Bank of Florida Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan attached hereto as Schedule 8.23(f) (the “SERP”) for the benefit of the officers identified on Schedule 8.23(f) and shall perform RBF’s obligations thereunder in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the SERP that apply upon the occurrence of a Change in Control. For the sake of clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Merger constitutes a Change in Control for purposes of the SERP.

No Consent

obtained from any Regulatory Authority that is necessary to consummate the transactions provided for herein shall be conditioned or restricted in a manner (including without limitation requirements relating to the raising of additional capital or the disposition of Assets) which in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of either Party would so materially adversely impact the economic or business benefits of the transactions provided for in this Agreement as to render inadvisable the consummation of the Merger.

Each of the Parties shall have obtained any and all Consents required for consummation of the Merger (other than those referred to in Section 9.1(b) of this Agreement) or for the preventing of any Default under any Contract or Permit of such Party that, if not obtained or made, is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on such Party. No Consent so obtained that is necessary to consummate the transactions provided for herein shall be conditioned or restricted in a manner that in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of either Party would so materially adversely impact the economic or business benefits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as to render inadvisable the consummation of the Merger.

(d) Legal Proceedings. No court or Regulatory Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law or Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) or taken any other action that prohibits, restricts or makes illegal consummation of the Merger or any other transaction provided for in this Agreement. No action or proceeding shall have been instituted by any Person, and the Parties shall not have Knowledge of any threatened action or proceeding by any Person, that seeks to restrain the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction provided for in this Agreement that, in the opinion of the NCC Board or the RBF Board, renders it impossible or inadvisable to consummate the transactions provided for in this Agreement.

(e) Tax Opinion. RBF and NCC shall have received a written opinion of counsel from Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxx, P.C. in form reasonably satisfactory to them (the “Tax Opinion”), to the effect that (i) the Merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC, (ii) the exchange in the Merger of RBF Common Stock for NCC Common Stock will not give rise to gain or loss to the stockholders of RBF with respect to such exchange (except to the extent of any cash received), and (iii) neither RBF nor NCC will recognize gain or loss as a consequence of the Merger (except for income and deferred gain recognized pursuant to Treasury regulations issued under Section 1502 of the IRC). In rendering such Tax Opinion, counsel for NCC shall be entitled to rely upon representations of officers of RBF and NCC reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such counsel.

(g) Employment Agreements.

(k) Certification of Claims. RBF shall have delivered a certificate to NCC that RBF is not aware of any pending, threatened or potential claim against the directors or officers of any of the RBF Companies or under the directors and officers insurance policy or the fidelity bond coverage of RBF or any RBF Company.

(a) by mutual written consent of the NCC Board and the RBF Board; or

(b) by the NCC Board or the RBF Board in the event of an inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice to the breaching Party of such inaccuracy and which inaccuracy is reasonably likely, in the opinion of the non-breaching Party, to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the breaching Party; or

(c) by the NCC Board or the RBF Board in the event of a material breach by the other Party of any covenant, agreement or other obligation contained in this Agreement that cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice to the breaching Party of such breach; or

(d) by the NCC Board or the RBF Board (provided that the terminating Party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other obligation contained in this Agreement) if (i) any Consent of any Regulatory Authority required for consummation of the Merger or the other transactions provided for herein shall have been denied by final nonappealable action of such authority or if any action taken by such Regulatory Authority is not appealed within the time limit for appeal, or (ii) the stockholders of RBF fail to vote their approval of this Agreement and the transactions provided for herein as required by applicable Law at the RBF Stockholders’ Meeting where the transactions are presented to such RBF stockholders for approval and voted upon; or

(f) by the RBF Board if, notwithstanding any disclosures in the Schedules attached hereto or otherwise, (i) there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Effect with respect to

NCC, or (ii) any facts or circumstances shall develop or arise after the date of this Agreement that are reasonably likely to cause or result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to NCC, and such Material Adverse Effect (or such facts or circumstances) shall not have been remedied within fifteen (15) days after receipt by NCC of notice in writing from RBF specifying the nature of such Material Adverse Effect and requesting that it be remedied; or

(g) by the NCC Board or the RBF Board if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before 270 days following the date of this Agreement, if the failure to consummate the transactions provided for herein on or before such date is not caused by any breach of this Agreement by the Party electing to terminate pursuant to this Section 10.1(g); provided, however, that if on such 270^th day approval by a Regulatory Authority is pending and has not been finally resolved or any stockholder litigation referenced in Section 7.6 has not been resolved (by dismissal, settlement or otherwise), such number of days shall be automatically increased from 270 to 360; or

(h) by the NCC Board or the RBF Board if any of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such Party to consummate the Merger cannot be satisfied or fulfilled by the date specified in Section 10.1(g) of this Agreement and such failure was not the fault of the terminating Party; or

(i) by the NCC Board if (i) the holders of in excess of five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of RBF Common Stock properly assert their dissenters’ rights of appraisal pursuant to applicable Law; or

(k) by the RBF Board if it concludes in good faith that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that failure to terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would likely result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the RBF Board may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.1(k) unless and until (i) RBF shall have complied with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) the RBF Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that such Superior Proposal has been made and has not been withdrawn and continues to be a Superior Proposal after taking into account all adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered by NCC under this Section 10.1(k); (iii) the RBF Board has given NCC at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal (which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal, including the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal) and has contemporaneously provided to NCC an unredacted copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with the Person making such Superior Proposal; and

(iv) RBF has negotiated, and has caused its representatives to negotiate, in good faith with NCC during such notice period (to the extent NCC wishes to negotiate) to enable NCC to revise the terms of this Agreement such that it would cause such Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal. In the event of any material change to the terms of such Superior Proposal, RBF shall, in each case, be required to deliver to NCC a new written notice, the notice period shall recommence, and RBF shall be required to comply with its obligations under this Section 10.1(k) with respect to such new written notice. Any termination under this Section 10.1(k) shall be subject to NCC’s receipt of the Termination Fee as set forth in Section 10.2(b) below, and if such amount is not received by NCC in accordance therewith, any purported termination pursuant to this Section 10.1(k) shall be null and void. RBF agrees (x) that it will not enter into a definitive agreement with respect to any Superior Proposal until at least the fifth (5^th) Business Day after it has provided the notice to NCC required hereby, and (y) to notify NCC promptly in writing if its intention to enter into a definitive agreement referred to in its notification shall change at any time after giving such notification.

10.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of a termination of this Agreement by either the NCC Board or the RBF Board as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no Liability or obligation on the part of NCC or RBF or their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them, except that this Section 10.2 and Article 11 and Sections 8.2 (Access to Information) and 8.7 (Expenses) of this Agreement shall survive any such termination; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any breaching Party from Liability for an uncured willful breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement giving rise to such termination.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) by the NCC Board pursuant to Section 10.1(j), (ii) by the RBF Board pursuant to Section 10.1(k), or (iii) otherwise by the RBF Board at a time when the NCC Board or NCC has grounds to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(j), then RBF shall, in the case of clause (i), two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination or, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii), on the date of such termination, pay to NCC, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of $1,250,000 (the “Termination Fee”).

(c) In the event that (i) after the date hereof an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly disclosed or any Person shall have publicly disclosed that, subject to the Merger being disapproved by RBF stockholders or otherwise rejected, it will make an Acquisition Proposal with respect to RBF and thereafter this Agreement is terminated by the NCC Board or the RBF Board pursuant to Section 10.1(d)(ii), and (ii) concurrently with such termination or within nine (9) months of such termination RBF enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or consummates an Acquisition Proposal, then RBF shall, upon the earlier of entering into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or consummating an Acquisition Proposal, pay to NCC, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Termination Fee.

(d) RBF acknowledges that the agreements contained in Sections 10.2(b) and 10.2(c) are an integral part of the transactions provided for in this Agreement, and that, without these

agreements, NCC would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if RBF fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.2(c), as the case may be, and, in order to obtain such payment, NCC commences a suit which results in a judgment for any of the Termination Fee, RBF shall pay NCC its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, other than in the case of a willful breach of this Agreement, the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall fully discharge RBF from, and be the sole and exclusive remedy of NCC and NBC with respect to, any and all losses that may be suffered by them based upon, resulting from, or rising out of the circumstances give rise to such termination of this Agreement. In no event shall RBF be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

10.3 Non-Survival of Representations and Covenants. The respective representations, warranties, obligations, covenants and agreements of the Parties shall not survive the Effective Time, except for those covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement which by their terms apply in whole or in part after the Effective Time.

11.8 Governing Law; Jury Waiver. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any applicable conflicts of Laws, except to the extent federal Law shall be applicable. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AT THE TIME OF INSTITUTION OF THE APPLICABLE LITIGATION, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

11.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document with the same force and effect as though all parties had executed the same document. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by fax, email or similar electronic means shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the Parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Transmission of executed counterparts by fax, email or similar electronic means shall have the same effect as physical delivery of manually signed originals.

11.10 Captions. The captions as to contents of particular articles, sections or paragraphs contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement.

11.11 Enforcement of Agreement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement 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 they are entitled at law or in equity. In any dispute or action between the Parties arising out of this Agreement, including any Litigation, arbitration, and appellate proceedings (and efforts to enforce the judgment, award or other disposition of any of the same), the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from the other Party all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with such dispute or action (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).

11.12 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

11.13 Construction of Terms. Where the context so requires or permits, the use of singular form includes the plural, and the use of the plural form includes the singular, and the use of any gender includes any and all genders. Accounting terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings determined by, and all calculations with respect to accounting or financial matters unless otherwise provided for herein, shall be computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. References herein to articles, sections, paragraphs, subparagraphs or the like shall refer to the corresponding articles, sections, paragraphs, subparagraphs or the like of this Agreement. The words “hereof,” “herein,” and terms of similar import shall refer to this entire Agreement. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the use of the terms “including,” “included,” “such as,” or terms of similar meaning, shall not be construed to imply the exclusion of any other particular elements.

11.14 Schedules. The disclosures in the Schedules to this Agreement must relate only to the representations and warranties in the Section of the Agreement to which they expressly relate and not to any other representation or warranty in this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the covenants or statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Schedules with respect to a specifically identified representation or warranty), the covenants and statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

11.17 Alternative Structure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to or following the Effective Time, NCC shall be entitled to revise the structure of the Merger in order to substitute a different NCC Subsidiary (or no NCC Subsidiary) in the place of NBC, whereby RBF or such other NCC Subsidiary would be the surviving bank upon consummation of the Merger, or whereby the Merger would be abandoned, provided in any case that each of the transactions comprising such revised structure shall (i) fully qualify as, or fully be treated as part of, one or more tax free reorganizations within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC, (ii) be capable of consummation in as timely a manner as the Merger provided for herein, and (iii) not otherwise be prejudicial to the interests of RBF’s stockholders. This Agreement and any related documents shall be appropriately amended in order to reflect any such revised structure.
