This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is dated as of June 19, 2018, by and between SB One Bancorp, a New Jersey corporation (“SBBX”), SB One Bank, a New Jersey-chartered bank (“SB One Bank”), and Enterprise Bank N.J., a New Jersey-chartered bank (“EBNJ”).

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of SBBX and the Board of Directors of EBNJ have each (i) determined that this Agreement and the business combination and related transactions contemplated hereby are in the best interests of their respective entities and shareholders; (ii) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are consistent with and in furtherance of their respective business strategies; and (iii) approved this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, EBNJ will merge with and into SB One Bank, a New Jersey-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of SBBX (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, as a material inducement to SBBX to enter into this Agreement, each of the directors of EBNJ has entered into a voting agreement with SBBX dated as of the date hereof (a “Voting Agreement”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A pursuant to which each such director or executive officer has agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of EBNJ Stock (as defined herein) owned by such person in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in such agreement;

WHEREAS, the parties intend the Merger to 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 be and hereby is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement and to prescribe certain conditions thereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I
THE MERGER

Section 1.01 Terms of the Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, EBNJ shall merge with and into SB One Bank, and SB One Bank shall be the surviving entity (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Bank”) and shall continue to be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey. SBBX will cause SB One Bank to, and EBNJ shall, execute and deliver a Plan of Bank Merger substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B. As part of the Merger, shares of EBNJ Stock shall, at the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to the terms of Article II.

Section 1.02 Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” as that term is used in Sections 354 and 361 of the Code. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Closing, each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and will not knowingly take any action, cause any action to be taken, fail to take any action or cause any action to fail to be taken, which action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. EBNJ and SBBX each hereby agree to deliver a certificate substantially in compliance with IRS published advance ruling guidelines, with customary exceptions and modifications thereto, to enable its counsel to deliver the legal opinion contemplated by Section 6.01(e).

Section 1.03 Name of the Surviving Bank. The name of the Surviving Bank shall be “SB One Bank.”

Section 1.04 Charter and Bylaws of the Surviving Bank. The charter and bylaws of the Surviving Bank upon consummation of the Merger shall be the charter and bylaws of SB One Bank as in effect immediately prior to consummation of the Merger.

Section 1.05 Directors and Officers of SBBX and Surviving Bank.

(a) At Effective Time, the directors of each of SBBX and Surviving Bank immediately prior the Effective Time shall continue to be the directors of SBBX and Surviving Bank, provided that at the Effective Time, the number of persons constituting the board of directors of SBBX and Surviving Bank shall each be increased by two (2) directors to be selected by SBBX upon consultation with EBNJ (the “New Members”), and the New Members shall be appointed to the board of directors of both SBBX and Surviving Bank for terms to expire at SBBX’s and Surviving Bank’s next annual meeting. At the next annual meeting of shareholders of SBBX after the Effective Date, the New Members shall be nominated to the boards of directors of SBBX and Surviving Bank each for a term of three (3) years and SBBX shall recommend that its stockholders vote in favor of the election of each such nominee and shall, as the sole shareholder of the Surviving Bank, vote itself in favor of each such nominee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither SBBX nor Surviving Bank shall have any obligation to appoint any New Member to serve on SBBX’s or Surviving Bank’s Board if such Person is not a member of the EBNJ’s board of directors immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each of the directors of SBBX and Surviving Bank immediately after the Effective Time shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or otherwise in accordance with the charter and bylaws of SBBX and Surviving Bank.

(b) At the Effective Time, the officers of SBBX and Surviving Bank shall consist of the officers of SBBX and Surviving Bank in office immediately prior to the Effective Time with the addition of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx as Senior Executive Vice President, Regional Banking of Surviving Bank.

Section 1.06 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided under federal law, applicable provisions of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act, New Jersey Banking Act of 1948, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of EBNJ shall cease and all of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties, assets, debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of EBNJ shall be vested in and assumed by SB One Bank.

Section 1.07 Effective Date and Effective Time; Closing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, SBBX will make all such filings as may be required to consummate the Merger by applicable laws and regulations. On the Closing Date, which shall take place not more than five (5) Business Days following the receipt of all necessary regulatory, governmental and shareholder approvals and consents and the expiration of all statutory waiting periods in respect thereof and the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger specified in Article VI of this Agreement (other than the delivery of certificates and other instruments and documents to be delivered at the Closing), or on such other date as the parties shall mutually agree to, SBBX and EBNJ shall file a Certificate of Merger with the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the “NJDBI”) in accordance with the New Jersey Banking Act of 1948, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder. The date of such filings is herein called the “Effective Date.” The “Effective Time” of the Merger shall be as specified by the NJDBI on the articles of combination.

(b) The closing (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures immediately prior to the Effective Time at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, or in person at the principal offices of Xxxxx Lovells US LLP in Washington, D.C., or such other place, at such other time, or on such other date as the parties may mutually agree upon (such date, the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, there shall be delivered to SBBX and EBNJ the certificates and other documents required to be delivered under Article VI hereof.

Section 1.08 Alternative Structure. SBBX may, at any time prior to the Effective Time, change the method of effecting the combination of SB One Bank and EBNJ (including the provisions of this Article I) if and to the extent it deems such change to be necessary, appropriate or desirable; provided, however, that no such change shall (a) alter or change the Merger Consideration; (b) adversely affect the tax treatment of or EBNJ’s shareholders pursuant to this Agreement; (c) adversely affect the tax treatment of SBBX or EBNJ pursuant to this Agreement; or (d) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event SBBX makes such a change, EBNJ agrees to execute an appropriate amendment to this Agreement in order to reflect such change.

Section 1.09 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, SBBX shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, documents, assignments or assurances in law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to (i) vest, perfect or confirm, or record or otherwise, in SBBX its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of EBNJ, or (ii) otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement, EBNJ and its officers and directors shall be deemed to have granted to SBBX an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver, in such official corporate capacities, all such deeds, assignments or assurances in law or any other acts as are necessary or desirable to (a) vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in SBBX or SB One Bank its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of EBNJ or (b) otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement, and the officers and directors of SBBX or SB One Bank are authorized in the name of EBNJ or otherwise to take any and all such action.

Section 1.10 Absence of Control. It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that SBBX by reason of this Agreement shall not be deemed (until consummation of the transactions contemplated herein) to control, directly or indirectly, EBNJ and shall not exercise or be deemed to exercise, directly or indirectly, a controlling influence over the management or policies of EBNJ.

Article II
CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Section 2.01 Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Person:

(a) Each share of SBBX Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

(b) Each share of EBNJ Stock held as treasury stock, if any, immediately prior to Effective Time shall be cancelled and retired at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Each share of EBNJ Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than treasury stock) shall become and be converted into, as provided in and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the right to receive 0.4538 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of SBBX Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).

Section 2.02 Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. All shares of EBNJ Stock, when converted as provided in Section 2.01(c), shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) previously evidencing such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive for each such share of EBNJ Stock, the Merger Consideration and, if applicable, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of SBBX Stock in accordance with Section 2.03. At the Effective Time, holders of the EBNJ Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of EBNJ other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of SBBX Stock as provided under this Article II. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of EBNJ of shares of the EBNJ Stock.

Section 2.03 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of SBBX Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger. In lieu thereof, SBBX shall pay to each holder of a fractional share of SBBX Stock an amount of cash (without interest) determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the average of the daily closing prices during the regular session of SBBX Stock as reported on NASDAQ for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the third Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date, rounded to the nearest whole cent. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.

Section 2.04 Dissenting Shares. Each outstanding share of EBNJ Stock the holder of which has perfected his or her right to dissent from the Merger under N.J.S.A. 17:9A-140 et seq. (the “Dissenters’ Rights Laws”) and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such rights as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by such provisions of the Dissenters’ Rights Laws. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent, the Dissenting Shares held by such holder shall thereupon be treated as though such Dissenting Shares had been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration to which such holder would be entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(c) hereof. EBNJ shall give SBBX prompt notice upon receipt by EBNJ of any such written demands for payment of the fair value of shares of the EBNJ Stock and of withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments provided pursuant to the Dissenters’ Rights Laws. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by SBBX.

Section 2.05 Exchange Procedures.

(a) At or before the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, (i) SBBX shall cause to be delivered to a bank or trust company designated by SBBX and reasonably satisfactory to EBNJ (the “Exchange Agent”), for exchange in accordance with this Article II, certificates representing the shares of SBBX Stock issuable pursuant to this Article II (“New Certificates”) and (ii) SBBX shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent an aggregate amount of cash sufficient to pay the estimated amount of cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares of SBBX Stock (such New Certificates and cash hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, and provided that EBNJ has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent all information which is necessary for the Exchange Agent to perform its obligations as specified herein, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the shares of EBNJ Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a New Certificate representing that number of shares of SBBX Stock to which such former holder of EBNJ Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) a check representing the amount of cash (if any) payable in lieu of a fractional share of SBBX Stock which such former holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to this Agreement, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.05(b), each Certificate (other than Certificates representing treasury stock) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration provided in Section 2.01 and Section 2.03 and any unpaid dividends and distributions thereon as provided in Section 2.05(c). No interest shall be paid or accrued on (x) any cash in lieu of fractional shares or (y) any such unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates.

(c) No dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to SBBX Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.05. After the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.05, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of SBBX Stock represented by such Certificate.

(d) The Exchange Agent and SBBX, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to deliver a New Certificate or New Certificates representing shares of SBBX Stock (or any cash in lieu of fractional shares) to which a holder of EBNJ Stock would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificate or Certificates representing the shares of EBNJ Stock for exchange as provided in this Section 2.05, or an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in an amount as may be required in each case by SBBX. If any New Certificates evidencing shares of EBNJ Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate evidencing EBNJ Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by an executed form of assignment separate from the Certificate and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other tax required by reason of the issuance of a New Certificate for shares of SBBX Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or otherwise establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of EBNJ for six (6) months after the Effective Time (as well as any interest or proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to SBBX. Any shareholders of EBNJ who have not theretofore complied with Section 2.05(b) shall thereafter look only to SBBX for the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of each share of EBNJ Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case without any interest thereon. If outstanding Certificates for shares of EBNJ Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such shares of SBBX Stock or cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property and any other applicable law, become the property of SBBX (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of shares of EBNJ Stock represented by any Certificate for any consideration paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. SBBX and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of EBNJ to establish the identity of those Persons entitled to receive the Merger Consideration specified in this Agreement, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of any shares of EBNJ Stock represented by any Certificate, SBBX and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any Merger Consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(f) SBBX (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of EBNJ Stock such amounts as SBBX is required to deduct and withhold under applicable law. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of EBNJ Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by SBBX.

Section 2.06 Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event SBBX or EBNJ changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of, or provides for the exchange of, shares of SBBX Stock or EBNJ Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding SBBX Stock or EBNJ Stock and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no such adjustment shall be made with regard to SBBX Stock if (a) SBBX issues additional shares of SBBX Stock and receives consideration for such shares in a bona fide third party transaction, (b) SBBX issues additional shares of SBBX Stock under its Employee Stock Incentive Plan, or (c) SBBX issues employee or director stock grants or similar equity awards or shares of SBBX Stock upon the exercise or settlement thereof.

Section 2.07 Reservation of Shares. Effective upon the date of this Agreement, SBBX shall reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of the SBBX Stock for the purpose of issuing shares of SBBX Stock to EBNJ shareholders in accordance with this Article II.

Section 2.08 Listing of Additional Shares. Prior to the Effective Time, SBBX shall notify NASDAQ of the additional shares of SBBX Stock to be issued by SBBX in exchange for the shares of EBNJ Stock.

Section 2.09 Stock Options. Each option to purchase shares of EBNJ Stock issued by EBNJ set forth on EBNJ Disclosure Schedule 3.03(b) and outstanding at the Effective Time pursuant to the EBNJ Stock Option Plans (each, an “EBNJ Option”) shall become fully vested to the extent not vested as of such date and be canceled, and in lieu thereof, the holders of such EBNJ Options shall be paid in cash an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of EBNJ Stock subject to such EBNJ Option at the Effective Time multiplied by (y) $13.75 less the exercise price per share of such EBNJ Option and (z) net of any cash which must be withheld under federal and state income and employment tax requirements. As a condition to the receipt of a cash payment in cancellation of EBNJ Options, each option holder shall execute and deliver to SBBX a cancellation agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to SBBX.

All Taxes due and owing by SBBX (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid other than Taxes that have been reserved or accrued on the balance sheet of SBBX and which SBBX is contesting in good faith. SBBX is not the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return, and neither SBBX nor any of its Subsidiaries currently has any open tax years.

Section 4.19 CRA, Anti-money Laundering and Customer Information Security. Neither SBBX nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement with any individual or group regarding CRA matters and SBBX has no Knowledge of, and none of SBBX and its Subsidiaries has been advised of, or has any reason to believe (based on SB One Bank’s Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the FDIC, or otherwise) that any facts or circumstances exist, which would cause SB One Bank: (i) to be deemed not to be in satisfactory compliance with the CRA, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or to be assigned a rating for CRA purposes by Bank Regulators of lower than “satisfactory”; (ii) to be deemed to be operating in violation of the USA PATRIOT Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, any order issued with respect to anti-money laundering by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other applicable anti-money laundering statute, rule or regulation; or (iii) to be deemed not to be in satisfactory compliance with the applicable requirements contained in any federal and state privacy and data security laws and regulations, including, without limitation, in Title V of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act of 1999 and regulations promulgated thereunder, as well as the provisions of the information security program adopted by SB One Bank pursuant to 12 C.F.R.

Section 4.20 Intellectual Property. SBBX Disclosure Schedule 4.20 sets forth a true, complete and correct list of all SBBX Intellectual Property. SBBX owns or has a valid license to use all SBBX Intellectual Property, free and clear of all Liens, royalty or other payment obligations (except for royalties or payments with respect to off-the-shelf Software at standard commercial rates). SBBX Intellectual Property constitutes all of the Intellectual Property necessary to carry on the business of SBBX and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted. SBBX Intellectual Property owned by SBBX or any of its Subsidiaries, and to the Knowledge of SBBX, all other SBBX Intellectual Property, is valid and enforceable and has not been cancelled, forfeited, expired or abandoned, and none of SBBX or any of its Subsidiaries has received notice challenging the validity or enforceability of SBBX Intellectual Property. To the Knowledge of SBBX, the conduct of the business of SBBX and its Subsidiaries does not violate, misappropriate or infringe upon the Intellectual Property rights of any third party. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in the loss or impairment of the right of SBBX or any of its Subsidiaries to own or use any of the SBBX Intellectual Property.

If, and only to the extent that, (x) the EBNJ Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such action would be required in order for directors of EBNJ to comply with their respective fiduciary duties under applicable law in response to a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal not solicited in violation of this Section 5.11(a) that the EBNJ Board believes in good faith is a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that no Acquisition Proposal shall be considered a Superior Proposal unless, during the three (3) day period following the notification to SBBX of the Superior Proposal, EBNJ and its advisors shall have negotiated in good faith with SBBX to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, and such negotiations fail to result in the necessary adjustments to this Agreement; and (y) EBNJ provides notice to SBBX of its decision to take such action in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.11(b), EBNJ may (1) furnish information with respect to EBNJ to any Person making such an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement (as determined by EBNJ after consultation with its outside legal counsel) on terms substantially similar to, and no less favorable to SBBX than, the terms contained in any such agreement between EBNJ and SBBX (2) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such an Acquisition Proposal and (3) authorize any statement or recommendation in support of such an Acquisition Proposal and withhold, withdraw, amend or modify the recommendation referred to in Section 5.04.

(b) EBNJ shall notify SBBX promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, or any material modification of or material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal, or any request for nonpublic information relating to EBNJ or for access to the properties, books or records of EBNJ by any Person that informs the EBNJ Board or a member of the senior management of EBNJ that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice to SBBX shall be made orally and in writing, and shall indicate the identity of the Person making the Acquisition Proposal or intending to make or considering making an Acquisition Proposal or requesting non-public information or access to the books and records of EBNJ, and the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal and any modification or amendment to such Acquisition Proposal. EBNJ shall keep SBBX fully informed, on a current basis, of any material changes in the status and any material changes or modifications in the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request. EBNJ also shall promptly, and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours, notify SBBX, orally and in writing, if it enters into discussions or negotiations concerning any Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 5.11(a).

(c) EBNJ shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than SBBX) conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all Persons other than SBBX who have been furnished confidential information regarding EBNJ in connection with the solicitation of or discussions regarding an Acquisition Proposal within the twelve (12) months prior to the date hereof promptly to return or destroy such information. EBNJ agrees not to release any third party from the confidentiality and standstill provisions of any agreement to which EBNJ is or may become a party, and shall immediately take all steps necessary to terminate any approval that may have been heretofore given under any such provisions authorizing any Person to make an Acquisition Proposal.

(d) EBNJ shall ensure that the directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (including any investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other retained representatives) of EBNJ are aware of the restrictions described in this Section 5.11 as reasonably necessary to avoid violations thereof. It is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.11 by any director, officer, employee, agent or representative (including any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other retained representative) of EBNJ, at the direction or with the consent of EBNJ, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.11 by EBNJ.

Section 5.12 Certain Policies. Prior to the Effective Date, EBNJ shall, consistent with GAAP and applicable banking laws and regulations, modify or change its loan, OREO, accrual, reserve, tax, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves) so as to be applied on a basis that is consistent with that of SBBX; provided, however, that EBNJ shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 5.12 unless and until SBBX acknowledges, and EBNJ is satisfied, that all conditions to EBNJ’s obligation to consummate the Merger have been satisfied and that SBBX shall consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and further provided that in any event, no accrual or reserve made by EBNJ pursuant to this Section 5.12 or the consequences resulting therefrom shall constitute or be deemed to be a breach, violation of or failure to satisfy any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, condition or other provision of this Agreement or otherwise be considered in determining whether any such breach, violation or failure to satisfy shall have occurred. The recording of any such adjustments shall not be deemed to imply any misstatement of previously furnished financial statements or information and shall not be construed as concurrence of EBNJ or its management with any such adjustments, nor any admission that the previously furnished financial statements or information did not fully comply in all respects with GAAP or regulatory requirements.

Section 5.13 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, SBBX (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of EBNJ, as applicable, determined as of the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, arising in whole or in part out of or pertaining to the fact that he or she was a director or officer of EBNJ or is or was serving at the request of EBNJ as a director, officer, employee or other agent of any other organization or in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan of EBNJ, including without limitation matters related to the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, to the fullest extent which such Indemnified Parties would be entitled under the bylaws and certificate of incorporation of EBNJ as in effect on the date hereof (subject to change as required by law). SBBX’s obligations under this Section 5.13(a) shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such claim.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.13, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent that such failure does actually prejudice the Indemnifying Party. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel which is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay, promptly as statements therefor are received, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties (which may not exceed one firm in any jurisdiction unless counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues that raise conflicts of interest between the Indemnified Parties), (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent and (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation hereunder in the event that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable laws and regulations or by an applicable federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, SBBX shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the persons serving as directors and officers of EBNJ immediately prior to the Effective Time to be covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by EBNJ (provided that SBBX may substitute therefor policies which are not materially less advantageous than such policy or single premium tail coverage with policy limits equal to EBNJ’s existing coverage limits) for a six-year period following the Effective Time with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time which were committed by such directors and officers in their capacities as such, provided that in no event shall SBBX be required to expend in any one year more than an amount equal to 200% of the current annual amount expended by EBNJ to maintain such insurance (the “Insurance Amount”), and further provided that if SBBX is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 5.13(c) as a result of the preceding provision, SBBX shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for the Insurance Amount.

(d) If SBBX or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of SBBX shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.13.

Section 5.14 Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) Following the Closing Date, SBBX may choose to maintain any or all of the EBNJ Benefit Plans in its sole discretion and EBNJ shall cooperate with SBBX in order to effect any plan terminations to be made as of the Effective Time. However, for any EBNJ Benefit Plan terminated for which there is a comparable SBBX Benefit Plan of general applicability, SBBX shall take all commercially reasonable action so that employees of EBNJ shall be entitled to participate in such SBBX Benefit Plan to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of SBBX (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of EBNJ in the SBBX Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). SBBX shall cause each SBBX Benefit Plan in which employees of EBNJ are eligible to participate to take into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting under the SBBX Benefit Plans (but not for purposes of benefit accrual) the service of such employees with EBNJ to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by EBNJ; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of SBBX to amend or terminate any of the EBNJ Benefit Plans or SBBX Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms at any time; provided, however, that SBBX shall continue to maintain the EBNJ Benefit Plans (other than stock-based or incentive plans) for which there is a comparable SBBX Benefit Plan until the EBNJ Employees are permitted to participate in the SBBX Benefit Plans, unless such SBBX Benefit Plan has been frozen or terminated with respect to similarly situated employees of SBBX or any Subsidiary of SBBX. Following the Closing Date, SBBX shall honor, in accordance with EBNJ’s policies and procedures in effect as of the date hereof, any employee expense reimbursement obligations of EBNJ for out-of-pocket expenses incurred during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs by any EBNJ Employee whose employment continues after the Effective Time.

(b) SBBX shall honor, under the vacation policies of EBNJ, as disclosed on EBNJ Disclosure Schedule 3.16, the accrued but unused vacation time of employees of the Surviving Bank who were employees of EBNJ prior to the Effective Time.

(c) If employees of EBNJ become eligible to participate in a medical, dental or health plan of SBBX upon termination of such plan of EBNJ, SBBX shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such plan to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the applicable medical, health or dental plans of SBBX, (ii) honor under such plans any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the employees and their beneficiaries during the portion of the calendar year prior to such participation and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement which would otherwise be applicable to such employee on or after the Effective Time, in each case to the extent such employee had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous EBNJ Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Any employee of EBNJ (excluding any employee who is party to an employment agreement, change-in-control agreement or any other agreement which provides for severance payments) whose employment is terminated (other than for cause) at the request of SBBX (but by and in the sole discretion of EBNJ) prior to the Effective Time, or is terminated by SBBX or a Subsidiary of SBBX within twelve (12) months following the Effective Date, shall be entitled to receive severance payments in an amount equal to two (2) weeks base pay for each full year of service (including all service with EBNJ, SBBX and any Subsidiary of SBBX), with a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of twenty-six (26) weeks of base pay.

(e) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

(f) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, SBBX and/or Surviving Bank is entering into an employment agreement with Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Employment Agreement”) to be effective as of the Effective Time.

(g) SBBX shall honor and perform under each agreement or contract set forth in EBNJ Disclosure Schedule 3.16(f).

(h) EBNJ may pay retention bonuses to the employees listed in, and in the amounts set forth on, EBNJ Disclosure Schedule 5.14(h).

Section 5.15 Notification of Certain Changes. SBBX and EBNJ shall promptly advise the other party of any change or event having, or which could be reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on it or which it believes would, or which could reasonably be expected to, cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained herein. From time to time prior to the Effective Time (and on the date prior to the Closing Date), each party will supplement or amend its Disclosure Schedules delivered in connection with the execution of this Agreement to reflect any matter which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Disclosure Schedules or which is necessary to correct any information in such Disclosure Schedules which has been rendered inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such Disclosure Schedules shall have any effect for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties contained in Article III and Article IV in order to determine the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.02(a) or 6.03(a) hereof, as the case may be, or the compliance by EBNJ or SBBX, as the case may be, with the respective covenants and agreements of such parties contained herein.

Section 5.16 Current Information. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, EBNJ will cause one or more of its designated representatives to confer on a regular and frequent basis with representatives of SBBX and to report the general status of the ongoing operations of EBNJ. Without limiting the foregoing, EBNJ agrees to provide SBBX (i) a copy of each report filed by EBNJ with a Governmental Authority within one (1) Business Day following the filing thereof and (ii) monthly updates of the information required to be set forth in EBNJ Disclosure Schedule 3.14.

Section 5.17 Board Packages. EBNJ shall distribute a copy of each EBNJ Board package, including the agenda and any draft minutes, to SBBX at the same time and in the same manner in which it distributes a copy of such packages to the EBNJ Board; provided, however, that EBNJ shall not be required to copy SBBX on any documents that disclose confidential discussions of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any third party proposal to acquire control of EBNJ or any other matter that the EBNJ Board has been advised of by counsel that such distribution to SBBX may violate a confidentiality obligation or fiduciary duty or any law or regulation.

Section 5.18 Transition; Informational Systems Conversion. From and after the date hereof, SBBX and EBNJ shall use their reasonable best efforts to facilitate the integration of EBNJ with the business of SBBX following consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan for the conversion of EBNJ’s data processing and related electronic informational systems (the “Informational Systems Conversion”) to those used by SBBX and its Subsidiaries, which planning shall include, but not be limited to: (a) discussion of EBNJ’s third-party service provider arrangements; (b) non-renewal of personal property leases and software licenses used by EBNJ in connection with its systems operations; (c) retention of outside consultants and additional employees to assist with the conversion; (d) outsourcing, as appropriate, of proprietary or self-provided system services; and (e) any other actions necessary and appropriate to facilitate the conversion, as soon as practicable following the Effective Time. EBNJ shall take all action which is necessary and appropriate to facilitate the Informational Systems Conversion; provided, however, that SBBX shall pay all out-of-pocket fees, expenses or charges that EBNJ may incur as a result of taking, at the request of SBBX, any action to facilitate the Informational Systems Conversion. If this Agreement is terminated by SBBX and/or EBNJ in accordance with Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(c) or 7.01(f), or by EBNJ only in accordance with Section 7.01(d), 7.01(e) or 7.01(g)(v), SBBX shall pay to EBNJ all reasonable fees, expenses or charges related to reversing the Informational Systems Conversion within ten (10) business days of EBNJ providing SBBX written evidence of such fees, expenses or charges.

TERMINATION

Section 7.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned:

(b) No Regulatory Approval. By SBBX or EBNJ, if its Board of Directors so determines by a vote of a majority of the members of its entire board, in the event the approval of any Governmental Authority required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have been denied by final, nonappealable action by such Governmental Authority or an application therefor shall have been permanently withdrawn at the request of a Governmental Authority.

(c) No Shareholder Approval. By either SBBX or EBNJ (provided that if EBNJ is the terminating party it shall not be in material breach of any of its obligations under Section 5.04), if the approval of the shareholders required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote at a duly held meeting of such shareholders or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

(d) Breach of Representations and Warranties. By either SBBX or EBNJ (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a material breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement by the other party, which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice to the party committing such breach, or which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Closing; provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(d) unless the breach of representation or warranty, together with all other such breaches, would entitle the party receiving such representation or warranty not to consummate the Merger under Section 6.02(a) (in the case of a breach of a representation or warranty by SBBX) or Section 6.03(a) (in the case of a breach of a representation or warranty by EBNJ).

(e) Breach of Covenants. By either SBBX or EBNJ (provided that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if there shall have been a material breach of any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement on the part of the other party, which breach shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days following receipt by the breaching party of written notice of such breach from the other party hereto, or which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the Closing, provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.01(e) unless the breach of covenant or agreement, together with all other such breaches, would entitle the party receiving the benefit of such covenant or agreement not to consummate the Merger under Section 6.02(b) (in the case of a breach of a covenant or agreement by EBNJ) or Section 6.03(b) in the case of a breach of a representation or warranty by SBBX).

(f) Delay. By either SBBX or EBNJ if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before December 31, 2018 (the “Termination Date”), unless the failure of the Closing to occur by such date shall be due to a material breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement.

(g) Failure to Recommend; Third-Party Acquisition Transaction; Etc. By SBBX or EBNJ, if (i) EBNJ shall have breached its obligations under Section 5.11, (ii) the EBNJ Board shall have failed to make its recommendation referred to in Section 5.04, withdrawn such recommendation or modified or changed such recommendation in a manner adverse in any respect to the interests of SBBX, (iii) the EBNJ Board shall have recommended, proposed, or publicly announced its intention to recommend or propose, to engage in an Acquisition Transaction with any Person other than SBBX or a Subsidiary of SBBX or (iv) EBNJ shall have materially breached its obligations under Section 5.04 by failing to call, give notice of, convene and hold the EBNJ Meeting in accordance with Section 5.04.

(h) Decrease in SBBX Stock Price. By EBNJ, if the EBNJ Board so determines by a vote of the majority of the members of the entire EBNJ Board, at any time during the five-day period commencing with the Determination Date (as defined below), if both of the following conditions are satisfied:

(A) The quotient obtained by dividing the Average Closing Price by the Starting Price (as defined below) (the “SBBX Ratio”) shall be less than 0.80; and

(B) (x) the SBBX Ratio shall be less than (y) the quotient obtained by dividing the Final Index Price by the Index Price on the Starting Date (each as defined below) and subtracting 0.20 from the quotient in this clause (B)(y) (such number in this clause (B)(y) that results from dividing the Final Index Price by the Index Price on the Starting Date being referred to herein as the “Index Ratio”);

subject, however, to the following three sentences. If EBNJ elects to exercise its termination right pursuant to this Section 7.01(h), it shall give written notice to SBBX promptly, and in any event within the five-day period commencing with the Determination Date. During the five-day period commencing with its receipt of such notice, SBBX shall have the option to increase the consideration to be received by the holders of EBNJ Stock hereunder, by adjusting the Exchange Ratio (calculated to the nearest one one-thousandth) to equal the lesser of (x) a number (rounded to the nearest one one-thousandth) obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Starting Price, 0.80 and the Exchange Ratio (as then in effect) by (B) the Average Closing Price and (y) a number (rounded to the nearest one one-thousandth) obtained by dividing (A) the product of the Index Ratio and the Exchange Ratio (as then in effect) by (B) the SBBX Ratio. If SBBX so elects within such five-day period, it shall give prompt written notice to EBNJ of such election and the revised Exchange Ratio, whereupon no termination shall have occurred pursuant to this Section 7.01(h) and this Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms (except as the Exchange Ratio shall have been so modified.)

For purposes of this Section 7.01(h) the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

“Average Closing Price” shall mean the average of the daily closing prices for the shares of SBBX Stock for the 20 consecutive full trading days on which such shares are actually traded on NASDAQ (as reported by Bloomberg or, if not reported thereby, any other authoritative source) ending at the close of trading on the Determination Date.

“Determination Date” shall mean the 10th day prior to the Closing Date, provided that if shares of the SBBX Stock are not actually traded on NASDAQ on such day, the Determination Date shall be the immediately preceding day to the 10th day prior to the Closing Date on which shares of SBBX Stock actually trade on NASDAQ.

“Final Index Price” shall mean the average of the Index Prices for the 20 consecutive full trading days ending on the trading day prior to the Determination Date.

“Starting Price” shall mean the closing price of a share of SBBX Stock on NASDAQ (as reported by Bloomberg, or if not reported therein, in another authoritative source) on the Starting Date.

Section 7.02 Termination Fee. In recognition of the efforts, expenses and other opportunities foregone by SBBX while structuring and pursuing the Merger, the parties hereto agree that EBNJ shall pay to SBBX a termination fee of $1,916,000 within three (3) Business Days after written demand for payment is made by SBBX, following the occurrence of any of the events set forth below:

Exhibit A

Form of Voting Agreement

VOTING AGREEMENT

This VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of June 19, 2018, by and between the undersigned holder (“Shareholder”) of common stock, par value $5.00 per share (“EBNJ Common Stock”) of Enterprise Bank N.J., a New Jersey-chartered bank (“EBNJ”), and SB One Bancorp, a New Jersey corporation (“SBBX”). All terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, SBBX, SB One Bank, a New Jersey-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of SBBX (“SB One Bank”), and EBNJ are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as such agreement may be subsequently amended or modified, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which EBNJ shall merge with and into SB One Bank, and in connection therewith, each outstanding share of EBNJ Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration;

WHEREAS, Shareholder owns the shares of EBNJ Common Stock identified on Exhibit A hereto (such shares, together with all shares of EBNJ Common Stock subsequently acquired by Shareholder during the term of this Agreement, including through the exercise of any stock options, warrants or similar instruments, being referred to as the “Shares”); and

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the willingness of SBBX to enter into the Merger Agreement that Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Agreement to Vote Shares. Shareholder agrees that, while this Agreement is in effect, at any meeting of shareholders of EBNJ, however called, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstances in which Shareholder is entitled to vote, consent or give any other approval, except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by SBBX, Shareholder shall:

(a)

appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

(b)

vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all the Shares (whether acquired heretofore or hereafter) that are beneficially owned by Shareholder or as to which Shareholder has, directly or indirectly, the right to vote or direct the voting, (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of EBNJ contained in the Merger Agreement or of Shareholder contained in this Agreement; and (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal or any other action, agreement or transaction that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to materially impede, interfere or be inconsistent with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or of this Agreement.

Section 2. No Transfers. While this Agreement is in effect, Shareholder agrees not to, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposition of, any of the Shares, except the following transfers shall be permitted: (a) transfers by will or operation of law, in which case this Agreement shall bind the transferee, (b) transfers pursuant to any pledge agreement, subject to the pledgee agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (c) transfers in connection with estate and tax planning purposes, including transfers to relatives, trusts and charitable organizations, subject to the transferee agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (d) such transfers as SBBX may otherwise permit in its sole discretion. Any transfer or other disposition in violation of the terms of this Section 2 shall be null and void.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder represents and warrants to and agrees with SBBX as follows:

(a)

Shareholder has all requisite capacity and authority to enter into and perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Shareholder, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by SBBX, constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Shareholder enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

(c)

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance by Shareholder of his, her or its obligations hereunder and the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, violate or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any agreement, instrument, contract or other obligation or any order, arbitration award, judgment or decree to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is bound, or any statute, rule or regulation to which Shareholder is subject or, in the event that Shareholder is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, any charter, bylaw or other organizational document of Shareholder.

(d)

Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of, or is the trustee that is the record holder of, and whose beneficiaries are the beneficial owners of, and has good title to all of the Shares set forth on Exhibit A hereto, and the Shares are so owned free and clear of any liens, security interests, charges or other encumbrances. Shareholder does not own, of record or beneficially, any shares of capital stock of EBNJ other than the Shares (other than shares of capital stock subject to stock options or warrants over which Shareholder will have no voting rights until the exercise of such stock options or warrants). The Shares do not include shares over which Shareholder exercises control in a fiduciary capacity and no representation by Shareholder is made thereby pursuant to the terms hereof. Shareholder has the right to vote the Shares and none of the Shares are subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of the Shares, except as contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4. Irrevocable Proxy. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 4, by execution of this Agreement, Shareholder does hereby appoint SBBX with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as Shareholder’s true and lawful attorney and irrevocable proxy, to the full extent of Shareholder’s rights with respect to the Shares, to vote, if Shareholder is unable to perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement, each of such Shares that Shareholder shall be entitled to so vote with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1 hereof at any meeting of the shareholders of EBNJ, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action of the shareholders of EBNJ taken by written consent. The Shareholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest hereafter until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 7 hereof and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by Shareholder with respect to the Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this irrevocable proxy shall automatically terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

Section 5. No Solicitation. From and after the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 hereof, Shareholder, in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of EBNJ, shall not, nor shall such Shareholder authorize any partner, officer, director, advisor or representative of, such Shareholder or any of his, her or its affiliates to (and, to the extent applicable to Shareholder, such Shareholder shall use reasonable best efforts to prohibit any of his, her or its representatives or affiliates to), (a) initiate, solicit, induce or knowingly encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any person (other than SBBX) any information or data with respect to EBNJ or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, (c) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, (d) solicit proxies or become a “participant” in a “solicitation” (as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than the Merger Agreement) or otherwise encourage or assist any party in taking or planning any action that would compete with, restrain or otherwise serve to interfere with or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, (e) initiate a shareholders’ vote or action by consent of EBNJ’s shareholders with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, or (f) except by reason of this Agreement, become a member of a “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of EBNJ that takes any action in support of an Acquisition Proposal.

Section 6. Specific Performance and Remedies. Shareholder acknowledges that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to SBBX if Shareholder fails to comply with the obligations imposed by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, SBBX will not have an adequate remedy at law or in equity. Accordingly, Shareholder agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or in damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that SBBX has an adequate remedy at law. Shareholder agrees that Shareholder will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with SBBX’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief. In addition, after discussing the matter with Shareholder, SBBX shall have the right to inform any third party that SBBX reasonably believes to be, or to be contemplating, participating with Shareholder or receiving from Shareholder assistance in violation of this Agreement, of the terms of this Agreement and of the rights of SBBX hereunder, and that participation by any such persons with Shareholder in activities in violation of Shareholder’s agreement with SBBX set forth in this Agreement may give rise to claims by SBBX against such third party.

Section 7. Term of Agreement; Termination. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the written consent of the parties hereto, and shall be automatically terminated in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. Upon such termination, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder; provided, however, such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

Section 8. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by any such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

Section 9. Severability. In the event that any one or more provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement and the parties shall use their reasonable efforts to substitute a valid, legal and enforceable provision which, insofar as practical, implements the purposes and intents of this Agreement.

Section 10. Capacity as Shareholder. The covenants contained herein shall apply to Shareholder solely in his or her capacity as a shareholder of EBNJ, and no covenant contained herein shall apply to Shareholder in his or her capacity as a director, officer or employee of EBNJ or in any other capacity. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to, or limit in any manner, the obligations of Shareholder to comply with his or her fiduciary duties as a director of EBNJ.

Section 11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard for conflict of law provisions.

(c) Resignation Without Good Reason. Employee may resign his employment at any time by providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Bank. The Employer is under no obligation to compensate Employee beyond the effective date of his voluntary termination. At its option Employer may accelerate Employee’s last day of employment following his resignation.

Employee may resign his employment with “Good Reason” in the event Employee is not in violation of this Agreement and Employer: (i) materially diminishes Employee’s duties; (ii) relocates the Employee’s principal office location more than twenty-five (25) miles from its present location which also increases Employee’s commuting distance by over twenty-five (25) miles; or (iii) reduces the Employee’s compensation or other benefits below the level specified herein.

(e) Death or Disability. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the death or disability of Employee.

6. Change in Control.

(a) Definition. A “Change of Control” shall occur upon any of the following events:

(i) A reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Employer, or a similar transaction, in any case in which the holders of the voting stock of the Employer prior to such transaction do not hold a majority of the voting power of the resulting entity; or

(ii) the individuals who constitute the “Incumbent Board” of the Employer cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof. (“Incumbent Board” means the Board of Directors of the Employer on the date hereof, provided that any person becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election was approved by a voting of at least three-quarters of the directors comprising the Incumbent Board, or whose nomination for election by members or stockholders was approved by the same nominating committee serving under an Incumbent Board, shall be considered as though he or she were a member of the Incumbent Board); or

(iii) at such time as (1) any “person” (as the term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than the Employer or the trustees or any administration of any employee stock ownership plan and trust, or any other employee benefit plans, established by Employer from time to time is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13-d under the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly, of securities of the Employer representing 35% or more of the Employer’s outstanding securities ordinarily having the right to vote at the election of directors; or

(iv) a tender offer is made for 35% or more of the voting securities of the Employer and the shareholders owning beneficially or of record 35% or more of the outstanding securities of the Employer have tendered or offered to sell their shares pursuant to such tender and such tendered shares have been accepted by the tender offeror.

(b) Termination Upon a Change in Control. Upon the termination of Employee’s employment without Cause following the occurrence of a Change of Control, Employee shall be entitled to receive a lump sum payment in an amount equivalent to two (2) times Employee’s then current base salary; provided, however, that in no event shall any payments or benefits provided for hereunder constitute an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or any successor thereto, and in order to avoid such a result the benefits provided for hereunder will be reduced, if necessary, to an amount which is one dollar ($1.00) less than an amount equal to three (3) times Employee’s “base amount” as determined in accordance with such Section 280G. In addition to the foregoing, Employee shall be entitled to receive from Employer, or its successor, the right to continue participation in any health insurance or other insurance plans that Employee was participating in prior as of the date of termination for a period of two (2) years thereafter at no cost to the Employee.

(c) Changes Following Change in Control. If within eighteen (18) months of the occurrence of a Change in Control, Employer or its successor should: (i) materially diminish Employee’s duties; (ii) relocate the Employee’s principal office location more than twenty-five (25) miles from its location immediately prior to the Change in Control and also increases Employee’s commuting distance by more than twenty-five (25) miles; or (iii) reduce the Employee’s compensation or benefits below the level in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, Employee shall have the right to resign his employment for Good Reason and receive the benefits set forth in paragraph 6(b) herein, subject to the conditions set forth therein.

To the extent Employee is a party to any agreement with a current or former employer, Employee represents and warrants that Employee has provided a copy of that agreement to the Bank prior to executing this Agreement.

9. Non-Disclosure of Confidential and Proprietary Information.

Employee agrees that in order for Employee to perform his duties properly, Employer must necessarily entrust Employee with certain confidential, secret and proprietary documents, materials, data and other information, in tangible and intangible form, of and relating to the Bank and the Company, their business, existing and prospective customers, suppliers, vendors and associated third parties (the “Confidential Information”). This Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information related to: business processes, practices, methods, policies, plans, publications, documents, research, operations, services, strategies, techniques, agreements, contracts, terms of agreements, transactions, potential transactions, negotiations, pending negotiations, know-how, trade secrets, computer programs, computer software, applications, operating systems, software design, web design, work-in-progress, databases, manuals, records, articles, systems, material, sources of material, supplier information, vendor information, financial information, results, accounting information, accounting records, legal information, marketing information, advertising information, pricing information, credit information, payroll information, staffing information, personnel information, employee lists, supplier lists, vendor lists, developments, reports, internal controls, security procedures, graphics, drawings, sketches, market studies, sales information, revenues, costs, formulae, notes, communications, customer lists and customer information of the Bank and the Company, their existing and prospective customers and business associates, or of any other person or entity that has entrusted information to the Bank and/or the Company in confidence.

Employee understands and acknowledges that the development or acquisition of such Confidential Information is the result of great effort and expense by the Employer. Employee further understands and acknowledges that the Employer’s ability to reserve this Confidential Information for its exclusive knowledge and use is of great competitive importance and commercial value to the Employer and that improper use or disclosure of the Confidential Information by Employee will cause the Employer irreparable harm.

Employee understands and agrees that Confidential Information developed by Employee in the course of his employment by the Employer shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if the Employer furnished the same Confidential Information to Employee in the first instance. Confidential Information shall not include information that is generally available to and known by the public, provided that such disclosure to the public is through no direct or indirect fault of Employee or persons acting on Employee’s behalf.

Employee agrees that during the term of his employment with the Employer and at all times thereafter, he shall not disclose, either directly or indirectly through any other person or entity, or permit unauthorized access to, the Confidential Information or use it in a way, except on behalf of the Employer, whether or not such Confidential Information is produced by Employee’s own efforts, except as permitted by the Chief Executive Officer in advance in writing.

Employee agrees that the Employer has received and in the future will receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information subject to a duty on the Employer’s part to maintain the confidentiality of and to use such information only for certain limited purposes agreed to by such third parties. During its engagement by the Employer, and at all times thereafter, Employee shall hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and shall not disclose such information to any person or entity or otherwise utilize it except as is reasonable and necessary in the course of his work for Employer and in strict accordance with any agreement between the Bank and/or Company and such third party.

During employment with the Employer, Employee will not improperly use or disclose any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person, and Employee will not bring onto the premises of the Employer any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets belonging to any such employer or person unless Employee has obtained their prior written consent.

10. Non-Solicitation of Customers and Vendors.

Employee understands and acknowledges that Employer has expended and continues to expend significant time and expense in developing customer and vendor relationships, customer and vendor information and goodwill, and that because of Employee’s experience with and relationship to Employer, Employee will have access to and learn about much or all of the Bank and/or Company’s customer and vendor and prospective customer and vendor information, including, but not limited to, names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and other information identifying facts and circumstances specific to the customer or vendor or prospective customer or vendor and relevant to the services provided by the Bank and/or Company. Employee understands and acknowledges that loss of customer and vendor relationships and/or goodwill and/or interference with this prospective customer or vendor relationship will cause significant and irreparable harm to Employer.

Employee agrees and covenants that during the term of Employee’s employment and for a period of twelve (12) months after the employment relationship ends, for any reason or no reason and whether employment is terminated at the option of Employee or the Employer, Employee shall not directly or indirectly through another person or entity: (a) solicit, contact, attempt to contact or meet with any person or entity who was a customer of the Bank and/or Company at any time during the term of Employee’s employment or from whom the Bank and/or Company discussed or solicited business within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date Employee’s employment with the Employer is terminated; or (b) induce or attempt to induce any customer or vendor of the Bank and/or Company during or after the term of Employee’s employment to reduce, limit or not commence doing business with the Bank and/or Company.

11. Non-Solicitation of Employees.

Employee understands and acknowledges that Employer has expended and continues to expend significant time and expense in recruiting and training its employees and that the loss of employees would cause significant and irreparable harm to the Employer. Employee agrees and covenants that during the term of Employee’s employment and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, Employee shall not directly or indirectly through another person or entity induce or attempt to induce any existing or future employee of the Bank and/or Company to leave the employ of the Bank and/or Company, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Bank and/or Company and such employee, including, without limitation, inducing or attempting to induce any employee or group of employees to interfere with the business or operations of the Bank and/or Company or to solicit for hire or hire any person that is employed by the Bank and/or Company.

12. Non-Competition

Because of the Employer’s legitimate business interest as described herein and the good and valuable consideration offered to the Employee, during the term of Employee's employment and for a period of twelve (12) months, to run consecutively, beginning on the last day of the Employee's employment with the Employer, for any reason or no reason and whether employment is terminated at the option of the Employee or the Employer, Employee agrees and covenants not to as an officer, director, shareholder, member, owner, employee, agent, independent contractor or in any other capacity directly or indirectly consult with, be employed by, provide services to, promote, freelance for or have any interest in any bank or financial services business, firm, partnership or corporation, which competes with the Bank and/or Company in the business of providing banking and financial services anywhere within fifty (50) miles of a branch or office of the Bank. Employee agrees that the restrictions in this paragraph 12 protect legitimate business interests of the Employer and are reasonable in terms of duration, geographic scope and in all other respects. Nothing herein shall prohibit Employee from purchasing or owning less than five percent (5%) of the publicly traded securities of any corporation, provided that such ownership represents a passive investment and that the Employee is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, such corporation.

13. Return of Company Property.

Employee agrees, upon termination of his employment, promptly to deliver to the Bank all records, reports, manuals, programs, files, keys, building passes, credit cards, books, documents, computer disks or tapes, disk drives, memory sticks and/or any other property of the Bank and/or Company, including anything that was prepared by or on behalf of the Bank and/or Company or purchased with Bank and/or Company funds, and to refrain from making, retaining or distributing copies thereof. To the extent that Employee has any data belonging to the Bank and/or Company or any non-removable magnetic media owned by Employee (for example, a computer’s hard disk drive), Employee agrees that immediately upon termination he will provide the Bank with a copy of the data and then purge his computer of the data. Employee shall further furnish to the Bank an affidavit attesting to the foregoing return and destruction of the information within three days of receiving notice under this paragraph.

14. Compelled Disclosure.

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if Employee is requested to disclose any Confidential Information to any governmental, regulatory or other such authority with proper jurisdiction, Employee will promptly notify the Bank and permit the Bank and/or Company to seek a protective order or to take other appropriate action. Employee will also exercise his reasonable best efforts (subject to the advice of Employee’s legal counsel) to cooperate in the Bank and/or Company’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. If, in the absence of a protective order, Employee is, in the opinion of Employee’s legal counsel, compelled as a matter of law to disclose the Confidential Information, Employee may disclose to the party compelling disclosure only the part of the Confidential Information as is required by law to be disclosed.

15. Remedies.

Employee acknowledges that monetary damages will not be a sufficient remedy for Employee’s breach or threatened breach of paragraphs 9 through 14 of this Agreement and that a breach of these provisions by the Employee will cause irreparable harm to the Employer. As a result, Employee agrees that the Employer shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief, including injunctive relief and/or specific performance, for any such breach, without having to show proof of actual harm or posting any bond. Employee further agrees that should he violate these provisions Employer shall be entitled to cease and/or recover any payments and benefits otherwise owed or paid to Employee pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 6 of this Agreement and that Employer shall further be entitled to recover all attorneys’ fees and court costs associated with its filing and maintaining any such action against Employee.

Employee further acknowledges and understands that either party may terminate Employee’s employment at any time with or without cause and with or without prior notice, except as otherwise provided herein. Employee further acknowledges, understands and agrees that this Agreement does not constitute a promise or guaranty of employment in any position or for any period of time.

17. Assignability.

This Agreement is binding upon and shall become the legal obligation of the successors and assigns of Employer. This Agreement is not assignable by Employee.

18. Amendments and Waiver.

No provision hereof may be amended or waived except by a writing executed by both Employee and the Chief Executive Officer on behalf of the Employer. Any such waiver shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach, failure or violation of the same or other provisions hereof.

19. Construction.

The Parties agree that the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement.

20. Entire Agreement.
