R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company and
United Heritage Bankshares of Florida, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Seller”), are entering
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things,
for the merger of the Seller with and into the Company (the “Merger”), all on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement; and
WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company

Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements set

2. Voting.
(a) Each Stockholder shall, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Seller, however
called, or in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of the Seller, vote
(or cause to be voted) all Shares then held of record or beneficially owned by such
Stockholder (to the extent the Stockholder has the right to vote or direct the voting of
such Shares) (i) in favor of the Merger, the execution and delivery by the Seller of the
Merger Agreement and the approval of the terms thereof and each of the other actions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and any actions required in
furtherance thereof and hereof and (ii) against any proposal relating to an Acquisition
Proposal and against any action or agreement that would impede, frustrate, prevent or
nullify this Agreement, or result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation
or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Seller under the Merger Agreement or
which would result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VII of the Merger Agreement
not being fulfilled. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
the Stockholder shall be permitted to vote such Shares in favor of a Superior Offer that is
submitted for approval by the stockholders of the Seller

approved such Superior Offer and recommended such Superior Offer to the Seller’s
stockholders in accordance with Section 4.4 of the Merger Agreement, (b) the Merger
Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 8.1(h) of the Merger
Agreement, and
(c) the Seller has paid the Termination Fee to the Company in accordance with Section
8.3(b)(i) of the Merger Agreement.
(b) Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that, except as contemplated by this
Agreement and the Merger Agreement, such Stockholder shall not (i) offer to transfer (which
term shall include, without limitation, any sale, tender, gift, pledge, assignment or other
disposition), transfer or consent to any transfer of, any or all of the Shares beneficially
owned by such Stockholder (to the extent the Stockholder has the right to dispose of or
direct the disposition of such Shares) or any interest therein without the prior written
consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld in the case of a gift
or similar estate planning transaction (it being understood that the Company may decline to
consent to any such transfer if the Person acquiring such Shares does not agree to take such
Shares subject to the terms of this Agreement), (ii) enter into any option or other Contract
with respect to any transfer of any or all of such Shares or any interest therein except as
permitted in clause (i), (iii) grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or
consent in or with respect to such Shares except to vote the Shares in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, (iv) deposit such Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting
agreement or arrangement with respect to such Shares, or (v) subject to Section 6 hereof,
take any other action that would make any representation or warranty of such Stockholder
contained herein untrue or incorrect in any material respect or in any way restrict, limit
or interfere in any material respect with the performance of such Stockholder’s obligations
hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger
Agreement.
(c) Subject to Section 6 hereof, each Stockholder hereby agrees that such Stockholder
(i) shall not, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit, initiate or participate in any
way in any discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, or afford any
access to the properties, books or records of the Seller or any Seller Subsidiaries to, or
otherwise take any other action to assist or facilitate, any Person or group (other than the
Company or any affiliate or associate of the Company) concerning any Acquisition Proposal,
(ii) upon execution of this Agreement, will immediately cease any existing activities,
discussions or negotiations conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal,
and (iii) will immediately communicate to the Company the terms of any Acquisition Proposal
(or any discussion, negotiation or inquiry with respect thereto) and the identity of the
Person making such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry which such Stockholder may receive.
(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto
agrees to use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do,
or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to
consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Merger
Agreement. Each party shall promptly consult with the other and provide any necessary
information and material with respect to all filings made by such party with
any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and the Merger Agreement.
2
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Stockholder hereby waives
any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that such Stockholder may have.

Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
agreement of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its
terms, except in each case as enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity,
whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity, and by bankruptcy, insolvency and
similar Laws affecting creditor’s rights and remedies generally. There is no beneficiary or
holder of a voting trust certificate or other interest of any trust of which such
Stockholder is a trustee, or any party to any other agreement or arrangement, whose consent
is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by such
Stockholder of the transactions contemplated thereby.
(c) (i) Except as may be required under applicable securities laws, no filing with, and
no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority is necessary
for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder, the consummation by
such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance by such
Stockholder with the provisions hereof and (ii) none of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by such Stockholder, the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions
contemplated hereby or compliance by such Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof,
except in cases in which any conflict, breach, default or violation described below would
not interfere with the ability of such Stockholder to perform such Stockholder’s obligations
hereunder, shall (A) conflict with or result in any breach of any organizational documents
applicable to such Stockholder, (B) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with
or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any third party right
of termination, cancellation, modification or
acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, loan
agreement, bond, mortgage, indenture, license or other Contract of any kind, including,
without limitation, any voting agreement, proxy arrangement, pledge agreement, stockholders
agreement or voting trust, to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder
or any of such Stockholder’s properties or assets may be bound or (C)
3
violate any Order or
Law applicable to such Stockholder or any of such Stockholder’s properties or assets.
(d) Except as permitted by this Agreement, the Shares beneficially owned by such
Stockholder and the certificates representing such Shares are now, and at all times during
the term hereof will be, held by such Stockholder, or by a nominee or custodian for the
benefit of such Stockholder, free and clear of all Liens, proxies, voting trusts or
agreements, understandings or arrangements or any other rights whatsoever, except for any
such Liens or proxies arising hereunder.
4. Stop Transfer. Each Stockholder shall request that the Seller not register the
transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any
of the Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder, unless such transfer is made in compliance
with this Agreement.
5. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate, and none of the Stockholders or the
Company shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, upon the earliest of (a) the
Effective Time or (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement.
6. No Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to prohibit a Stockholder, or any officer or affiliate of a
Stockholder who is or has been designated a member of the Board of Directors of the Seller, from
taking any action solely in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors of the Seller
or from exercising his or her fiduciary duties as a member of such Board of Directors to the extent
specifically permitted by the Merger Agreement.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both
written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(b) This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of Law or otherwise without the
prior written consent of each Stockholder (in the case of any assignment by the Company) or
the Company (in the case of an assignment by a Stockholder), provided
that the Company may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any Company
Subsidiary, but no such assignment shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.
(c) Without limiting any other rights the Company may have hereunder in respect of any
transfer of Shares, each Stockholder agrees that this Agreement and the obligations
hereunder shall attach to the Shares owned of record by such Stockholder and shall be
binding upon any Person to which legal ownership of such Shares shall pass, whether by
operation of Law or otherwise, including, without limitation, such Stockholder’s heirs,
guardians, administrators or successors.
4

under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to

demand such compliance.

injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
