Upon consummation of the Merger, at the Effective Time the separate corporate existence of Company shall cease and Buyer shall survive and continue to exist as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the MGCL (Buyer, as the surviving entity in the Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “Surviving Entity”).

Section 1.02. Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Entity upon consummation of the Merger at the Effective Time shall be the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Buyer as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) On the Closing Date, Company’s Chief Executive Officer shall enter into an executive employment agreement with Buyer Bank, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Executive Employment Agreement”).

Section 1.04. Bank Merger. Immediately following the Effective Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter, Company Bank will be merged with and into Buyer Bank upon the terms and with the effect set forth in the Plan of Bank Merger

Section 1.05. Effective Time; Closing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer, Buyer Bank, Company and Company Bank will make all such filings as may be required to consummate the Merger and the Bank Merger by applicable Laws. The Merger shall become effective as set forth in the articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) related to the Merger that shall be filed

with the Florida Secretary of State and the Maryland Secretary of State on the Closing Date. The “Effective Time” of the Merger shall be the later of (i) the date and time of filing of the Articles of Merger, or (ii) the date and time when the Merger becomes effective as set forth in the Articles of Merger, which Effective Time shall be no later than five (5) Business Days after all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article 6 (other than conditions to be satisfied at the Closing, which shall be satisfied or waived at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) The Bank Merger shall become effective as set forth in the Plan of Bank Merger providing for the Bank Merger, at the later of immediately following the Effective Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter. Prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause Buyer Bank, and Company shall cause Company Bank, to execute such certificates or articles of combination and such other documents and certificates as are necessary to make the Bank Merger effective (“Bank Merger Certificates”) immediately following the Effective Time.

(c) The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place beginning immediately prior to the Effective Time (such date, the “Closing Date”) at the offices of Buyer, 000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, or such other place as the parties may mutually agree. At the Closing, there shall be delivered to Buyer and Company the Articles of Merger, the Plan of Bank Merger and such other certificates and other documents required to be delivered under Section 1.05(b) and Article 6 hereof.

Section 1.06. Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Buyer shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, documents, assignments or assurances in Law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, Company, Company Bank and their respective Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer and Buyer Bank, and each or any of them, 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 carry out the purposes of this Agreement, and the officers and directors of Buyer and Buyer Bank, as applicable, are authorized in the name of Company, Company Bank and their respective Subsidiaries to take any and all such action.

Section 1.07. Reservation of Right to Revise Structure. Buyer may at any time and without the approval of Company change the method of effecting the business combination contemplated by this Agreement if and to the extent that it deems such a change to be desirable; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount of the consideration to be issued to any holder of Company Common Stock as Merger Consideration, (ii) impede or delay consummation of the Merger, (iii) adversely or alter or change the federal income tax treatment of holders of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger from what such treatment would have been absent such change, (iv) require submission to or approval of Company’s shareholders after the plan of merger set forth in this Agreement has been approved by Company’s shareholders, or (v) otherwise adversely affect Company, Company Bank or any shareholder of Company in any material respect. In the event that Buyer elects to make such a change, the parties agree to execute appropriate documents to reflect the change.

Section 1.08. Absence of Control. Subject to any specific provisions of the Agreement, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that neither Buyer nor Company by reason of this

Agreement shall be deemed (until consummation of the transactions contemplated herein) to control, directly or indirectly, the other party or any of the other party’s Subsidiaries and shall not exercise or be deemed to exercise, directly or indirectly, a controlling influence over the management or policies of such other party or the other party’s Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE 2.

MERGER 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 Buyer, Buyer Bank, Company Bank, Company or any shareholder of Company:

(a) Each share of Buyer Common 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 Company Common Stock owned directly by Buyer, Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like for the benefit of customers) immediately prior to the 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 Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than treasury stock and shares described in Section 2.01(b) above) shall automatically and without any further action on the part of the holder thereof be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2.

Section 2.02. Rights as Shareholders; Stock Transfers. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock, when converted in accordance with Section 2.01(c) above, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate or Book-Entry Share previously evidencing such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive for each such share of Company Common Stock, the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2 (subject to the provisions of Section 2.07). At the Effective Time, the non-dissenting holders of Company Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Company, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2. After the Effective Time, there shall be no registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Company of shares of Company Common Stock.

Section 2.03. Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger. In lieu thereof, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to each non-dissenting holder of a fractional share of Buyer Common Stock, rounded to the

nearest one hundredth of a share, an amount of cash (without interest and rounded to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying the fractional share interest in Buyer Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the Average VWAP of the Buyer Common Stock as of the Closing Date.

Section 2.04. Plan of Reorganization. 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. The business purpose of the Merger and the Bank Merger is to combine two financial institutions to create a strong community-based commercial banking franchise. 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 as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

Section 2.05. Stock Options, Other Stock-Based Awards and Warrants.

(a) Unless otherwise noted, the provisions of this Section 2.05 pertain to all options and other stock-based awards granted by Company, including but not limited to awards granted under Company’s 2014 Directors’ Stock Option Plan and 2014 Officers’ and Employees’ Stock Option Plan, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Stock Awards”), provided, however, that any accelerated vesting performed pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall only be performed if required by the terms of the Company Stock Awards as in effect on the date hereof without any further action by Company.

(b) As of the Effective Time, Buyer shall either (i) assume any Company Stock Awards substantially in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Awards; or (ii) ; substitute the Company Stock Awards for substantially identical awards under any Buyer Stock Plans or other plans to be adopted by Buyer before the Effective Time (including substantially identical vesting and termination provisions in such Company Stock Awards), such that after the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any Company Stock Awards, the Company Stock Awards shall be converted into and become rights with respect to Buyer Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time and after giving effect to the foregoing assumption or substitution: (i) each Company Stock Award assumed or substituted by Buyer may be exercised solely for shares of Buyer Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Award shall be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share); and (iii) the per share exercise price under each such Company Stock Award shall be equal to the exercise price under each such Company Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). It is intended that the foregoing assumption shall be undertaken in a manner that will not constitute a “modification” as defined in Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code, as to any stock option which is an “incentive stock option.” Buyer and Company agree to take all necessary steps to effect the provisions of this Section 2.05. Buyer shall cause the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company Stock Awards after the Effective Time to be registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and to be authorized for listing on NASDAQ.

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, Company, the Company Board and the compensation committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including obtaining any Company or Company Bank employee or other participant consents) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.05.

Section 2.06. Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, and provided that Company has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent all information that is reasonably required under the terms of the Exchange Agent Agreement, the Exchange Agent shall mail or otherwise cause to be delivered to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Holder”) appropriate and customary transmittal materials in a form reasonably satisfactory to Company and the Exchange Agent, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss and/or bonds in such amounts as may be required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent in lieu of such Certificate(s)) or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, as well as instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2 as provided for in this Agreement (the “Letter of Transmittal”). Buyer and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of Company to establish the identity of the Holders of shares of Company Common Stock, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto.

Section 2.07. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a shareholder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has complied with applicable provisions of the FBCA (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal. From and after the Effective Time, a shareholder who has properly exercised such appraisal rights shall not have any rights of a shareholder of Company or the Surviving Entity with respect to shares of Company Common Stock, except those provided under applicable provisions of the FBCA (any shareholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”). A Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of each share of Company Common Stock held by him in accordance with the applicable provisions of the FBCA, unless, after the Effective Time, such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, in which case such shares of Company Common Stock shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of his Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to Section 2.06. Buyer shall have the right to participate in all discussions, negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for appraisal. Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, voluntarily make, or offer to make, any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal. Company shall not waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or the taking of any other action by such Dissenting Shareholder as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under the FBCA. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by Buyer as the Surviving Entity.

Section 2.08. Deposit of Merger Consideration.

(a) At or before the Effective Time, Buyer shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent stock certificates representing the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Merger Consideration payable under the terms hereof (together with, to the extent then determinable any cash payable in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2 (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”), and Buyer shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay such consideration in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Company for one (1) year after the Effective Time (as well as any interest or proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to Buyer. Any shareholders of Company who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.08 and Section 2.09(a) shall thereafter look only to Buyer for the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2 deliverable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock such shareholder held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case without any interest thereon. If outstanding Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for shares of Company Common Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such shares of Buyer Common 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 the law of abandoned property and any other applicable Law, become the property of Buyer (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 represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration (or any dividends or distributions with respect thereto) paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

Section 2.09. Delivery of Merger Consideration.

(a) Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of its Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Share(s), accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal timely delivered to the Exchange Agent, a non-dissenting Holder will be entitled to receive as promptly as practicable thereafter the aggregate Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2 to be issued or paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Holder’s Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. The Exchange Agent and Buyer, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to deliver cash and/or shares of Buyer Common Stock to a Holder to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such Holder surrenders the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing the shares of Company Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Article 2, or, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in such amount as may be reasonably required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent.

(b) In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares for Company Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of

Company, the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2 shall be issued or paid in exchange therefor to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered is registered if the Certificate or Book-Entry Share formerly representing such Company Common Stock shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment or issuance shall pay any transfer or other similar taxes required by reason of the payment or issuance to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer that the tax has been paid or is not applicable, and the person requesting payment for such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall have complied with the provisions of the Letter of Transmittal. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share, Buyer and Exchange Agent shall be entitled to tender to the custody of any court of competent jurisdiction any Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and file legal proceedings interpleading all parties to such dispute, and will thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(c) All shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and if ever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Buyer in respect of the Buyer Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Buyer Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share until such Certificate (or affidavit of loss and/or a bond in such amount as may be required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent in lieu of such Certificate) or Book-Entry Share is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article 2. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss and/or a bond in such amount as may be required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent in lieu of such Certificate(s)) or Book-Entry Share, there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Buyer Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Buyer Common Stock and not paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Buyer Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(d) Buyer (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 such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law.

In the event that there is present at such meeting, in person or by proxy, sufficient favorable voting power to secure the Requisite Buyer Shareholder Approval, Company will not adjourn or postpone the Buyer Meeting unless Buyer’s Board of Directors reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of counsel that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Buyer shall keep Company updated with respect to the proxy solicitation results in connection with the Buyer Meeting as reasonably requested by Company.

(c) The Buyer shall adjourn or postpone the Buyer Meeting, if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Buyer Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if on the date of such meeting Buyer has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Requisite Buyer Shareholder Approval.

If at any time prior to the Company Meeting there shall occur any event that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement-Prospectus or the Registration Statement, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file such amendment or supplement with the SEC (if required under applicable Law) and cooperate with Company to mail such amendment or supplement to Company shareholders (if required under applicable Law).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.09(e) to the contrary, no party shall not be required to provide the other with any documents that disclose confidential discussions or information relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any other matter that a party or its subsidiary bank’s board of directors has been advised by counsel that such distribution of which to the other party may violate a confidentiality obligation or fiduciary duty or any Law or regulation, or may result in its waiver of attorney-client privilege. In the event any of the restrictions in this Section 5.09(e) shall apply, each party shall consent, waiver, decree and approve necessary to satisfy any confidentiality issues relating to documents prepared or held by third parties (including work papers), and the parties will use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate alternate disclosure arrangements, including adopting additional specific procedures to protect the confidentiality of sensitive material and to ensure compliance with applicable Laws.

(a) Subject to Section 5.10(b), Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors and employees not to, and will not authorize any investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, affiliates or other agents of Company or any of Company’s Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly induce or encourage, or knowingly 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; (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, its officers, directors, employees and advisors or Buyer) regarding any Acquisition Proposal or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any Person (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, its officers, directors, employees and advisors or Buyer) any non-public information or data with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) release any Person from, waive any provisions of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which Company is a party except if the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; or (iv) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any Acquisition Proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any of the Company Representatives, whether or not such Company Representative is so authorized and whether or not such Company Representative is purporting to act on behalf of Company or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by Company. Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause each of the Company Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions, negotiations, and communications with any Persons with respect to any existing or potential Acquisition Proposal.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, offer or proposal (other than an inquiry, offer or proposal from Buyer), whether or not in writing, contemplating, relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Transaction.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Transaction” shall mean (A) any transaction or series of transactions involving any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Company or Company Bank that, in any such case, results in any Person (or, in the case of a direct merger between such third party and Company, Company Bank or any other Subsidiary of Company, the shareholders of such third party) acquiring 20% or more of any class of equity of Company or Company Bank; (B) any transaction pursuant to which any third party or group acquires or would acquire (whether through sale, lease or other disposition), directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the consolidated assets of Company or Company Bank; (C) any issuance, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities

(or options, rights or warrants to purchase or securities convertible into, such securities) representing 20% or more of the votes attached to the outstanding securities of Company or Company Bank; (D) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any third party or group beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity securities of Company or Company Bank; or (E) any transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions, or any combination of the foregoing.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, unsolicited Acquisition Proposal (i) that if consummated would result in a third party (or, in the case of a direct merger between such third party and Company, Company Bank or any other Subsidiary of Company, the shareholders of such third party) acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding Company Common Stock or more than 50% of the assets of Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities and (ii) that Company Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, (A) is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal, including all conditions contained therein and the person making such Acquisition Proposal, and (B) taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed by Buyer in response to such Acquisition Proposal, as contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section 5.10, and all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such takeover proposal, including all conditions contained therein and the person making such proposal, is more favorable to the shareholders of Company from a financial point of view than the Merger.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.10(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, prior to the date of the Company Meeting, Company may take any of the actions described in Section 5.10(a) if, but only if, (A) Company has received a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.10; (B) the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (1) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (2) the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and (C) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, Company receives from such Person a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to Company than those contained in the confidentiality agreement with Buyer (it being understood that nothing therein shall have the effect of a standstill provision). Company shall promptly provide to Buyer any non-public information regarding Company or its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person which was not previously provided to Buyer, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party.

(c) Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Buyer in writing if any proposals or offers are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, Company or the Company Representatives, in each case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, and such notice shall indicate the name of the Person initiating such discussions or negotiations or making such proposal, offer or information request and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (and, in the case of written materials relating to such proposal, offer, information request,

negotiations or discussion, providing copies of such materials (including e-mails or other electronic communications) except to the extent that such materials constitute confidential information of the party making such offer or proposal under an effective confidentiality agreement). Company agrees that it shall keep Buyer informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including any amendments or modifications to such proposal, offer or request).

(d) Subject to Section 5.10(e), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, change, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withdraw, change, qualify, amend or modify, in a manner adverse in any respect to the interest of Buyer, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), or take any other action or make any other public statement inconsistent with, the Company Recommendation, fail to reaffirm the Company Recommendation within five (5) Business Days following a request by Buyer, or make any public statement, filing or release, in connection with the Company Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the Company Recommendation (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification of the Company Recommendation); (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) resolve to take, or publicly announce an intention to take, any of the foregoing actions (each of (i), (ii) or (iii) a “Company Subsequent Determination”); or (iv) enter into (or cause Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (A) related to any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10(b)) or (B) requiring Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.10(d), prior to the date of the Company Meeting, the Company Board may make a Company Subsequent Determination after the fifth (5th) Business Day following Buyer’s receipt of a notice (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from Company advising Buyer that the Company Board has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that it received (that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.10) constitutes a Superior Proposal if, but only if, (i) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood that the initial determination under this clause (i) will not be considered a Company Subsequent Determination), (ii) during the five (5) Business Day period after receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal by Buyer (the “Notice Period”), Company and the Company Board shall have cooperated and negotiated in good faith with Buyer to make such adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable Company to proceed with the Company Recommendation without a Company Subsequent Determination; provided, however, that Buyer shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) at the end of the Notice Period, after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms, if any, as may have been proposed by Buyer since its receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company Board has again in good faith made the determination (A) in clause (i) of this Section 5.10(e) and (B) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. In the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal, Company shall

be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal to Buyer and again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.10(e), except that the Notice Period shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days.

(f) Notwithstanding any Company Subsequent Determination, this Agreement shall be submitted to Company’s shareholders at the Company Meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Company of such obligation; provided, however, that if the Company Board shall have made a Company Subsequent Determination with respect to a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board may recommend approval of such Superior Proposal by the shareholders of Company and may submit this Agreement to Company’s shareholders without recommendation, in which event the Company Board shall communicate the basis for its recommendation of such Superior Proposal and the basis for its lack of a recommendation with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to Company’s shareholders in the Proxy Statement-Prospectus or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.10 shall prohibit Company or the Company Board from complying with Company’s obligations required under Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure relating to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a change in the Company Recommendation unless the Company Board reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such disclosure, in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, such disclosure will not be considered a Company Subsequent Determination.

Section 5.11. Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, and in any event subject to the provisions of Section 5.11(b), Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the present and former directors and officers of Company and Company Bank (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, or liabilities incurred in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative arising out of actions or omissions of such persons in the course of performing their duties for Company or Company Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries occurring at or before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each a “Claim”), to the fullest extent as such persons have the right to be indemnified pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Company in effect on the date of this Agreement and applicable Law and in connection with any such Claim promptly advance expenses from time to time as incurred, to the same extent as such persons have the right to expense advancement pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Company in effect on the date of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provided, the person to whom expenses are advanced provides a reasonable and customary undertaking to repay such advances, if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.11 shall promptly notify Buyer upon learning of any Claim, provided that, failure to so

notify shall not affect the obligation of Buyer under this Section 5.11, unless, and only to the extent that, Buyer is materially prejudiced in the defense of such Claim as a consequence. In the event of any such Claim (whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time), (i) (A) Buyer shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Buyer shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses or other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, unless such Indemnified Party is advised in writing by counsel that the defense of such Indemnified Party by Buyer would create an actual or potential conflict of interest (in which case, Buyer shall not be obligated to reimburse or indemnify any Indemnified Party for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties, in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction where defense of any Claim has been or is to be asserted), and (B) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (ii) Buyer shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Buyer shall not settle any Claim without such Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iii) Buyer shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if such indemnification would be in violation of any applicable federal or state banking Laws or regulations, or in the event that a federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Laws and regulations, whether or not related to banking Laws. All rights to indemnification in respect of any Claim asserted or made prior to the period ending six (6) years after the Effective Time shall continue until the final disposition of such Claim.

(c) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase and provide director’s and officer’s liability insurance (herein, “D&O Insurance”) that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of Company or its Subsidiaries (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from acts and omissions occurring before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated hereby), which insurance will contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties, as that coverage currently provided by Company, provided that, if Buyer is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 5.11, Buyer will provide as much comparable insurance as is reasonably available (subject to the limitations described below in this Section 5.11(c); and provided, further, that officers and directors of Company or its Subsidiaries may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to the carrier of the D&O Insurance for the purpose of obtaining such insurance. In no event shall Buyer be required to expend for such tail insurance a premium amount in excess of an amount equal to 190% of the annual premium paid by Company for D&O Insurance in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum D&O Tail Premium”). If the aggregate cost of such tail insurance exceeds the Maximum D&O Tail Premium, Buyer shall obtain tail insurance coverage or a separate tail insurance policy with the greatest coverage available for an aggregate cost not exceeding the Maximum D&O Tail Premium or, in the case of a tail insurance policy, the aggregate Maximum D&O Tail Premium for the 6-year period). At the option of Company, prior to the Effective Time and in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, Company may purchase a tail policy for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on the terms described in this Section 5.11(c) (including subject to the aggregate Maximum D&O Tail Premium, except if one or more directors elects to pay for any excess over such amount) and fully pay for such 6-year policy prior

to the Effective Time, in which event Buyer’s obligations under this Section 5.11(c) shall be fully satisfied. If such prepaid tail policy has been obtained by Company prior to the Effective Time, Buyer will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the cancellation or modification of such policy.

(d) If Buyer or any of its successors and assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its property and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer and its Subsidiaries shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.11.

(e) These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party. After the Effective Time, the obligations of Buyer under this Section 5.11 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party unless the affected Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification. If any Indemnified Party makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 5.11 that is denied by Buyer, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Party is entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expense, in whole or in part, then Buyer or the Surviving Entity shall pay such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with enforcing such claim against Buyer.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.11 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Section 5.12. Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) Employees of Company and Company Bank shall be retained as “at will” employees after the Effective Time as employees of Buyer or Buyer Bank. In addition, Company and Company Bank agree, upon Buyer’s reasonable request, to facilitate discussions between Buyer and Company Employees a reasonable time in advance of the Closing Date regarding employment, consulting or other arrangements to be effective prior to or following the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, any interaction between Buyer and Company Employees shall be coordinated by Company or Company Bank.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Company shall take all action required to (i) cause any Company Benefit Plan that has liabilities in respect of its participants, to be fully funded to the extent required under applicable Law; (ii) terminate all such plans effective immediately prior to Closing (unless directed otherwise by Buyer or Buyer Bank); and (iii) commence the process to pay out any vested benefits thereunder to participating and eligible Company Employees in such form or forms as Company or Company Bank elects and as permitted or required under

applicable Law. Distributions of benefits under any profit sharing plan of Company or Company Bank shall occur in accordance with such plan’s terms, and a participant in such plan will be allowed to take, at the participant’s option: (x) a direct distribution from such plan, (y) a rollover to an Individual Retirement Account, or (z) a rollover to a tax qualified retirement plan of Buyer or Buyer Bank to the extent the plan sponsored by Buyer or Buyer Bank accepts rollover contributions, if such participant is employed by Buyer or Buyer Bank.

(c) For any Company Benefit Plan terminated for which there is a comparable Buyer Benefit Plan of general applicability, Company Employees who are retained by Buyer or Buyer Bank shall be entitled to participate in Buyer Benefit Plans to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of Buyer or Buyer Bank (it being understood that inclusion of Company Employees in the Buyer Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans). To the extent allowable under any of such plans, Company Employees shall be given credit for prior service or employment with Company or Company Bank (as well as service with any predecessor employer) for all purposes, including for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting and benefit plan accruals (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan or for service time requirements under the Buyer’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that it would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may amend or terminate any Buyer Benefit Plan at any time in its sole discretion.

(d) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such plan to (i) waive any pre-existing condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the applicable medical, health, or dental plans of Buyer or Buyer Bank, (ii) subject to approval from Buyer’s insurance carrier, if required, provide full credit under such plans for any deductible 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 plan prior to the Effective Time for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(e) Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.12, Buyer shall honor, and Buyer shall be obligated to perform, all employment, severance, deferred compensation, retirement or “change-in-control” agreements, plans or policies of Company or Company Bank, but only if such obligations, rights, agreements, plans or policies are set forth in Company Disclosure Schedule 5.12(e). Buyer acknowledges that the consummation of the Merger and Bank Merger will constitute a “change-in-control” of Company and Company Bank for purposes of any benefit plans, agreements and arrangements of Company and Company Bank. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of Buyer or Buyer Bank to amend or terminate any of the Company Benefit Plans or Buyer Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms at any time, subject to vested rights of employees and directors that may not be terminated pursuant to the terms of such Company Benefit Plans.

(f) Each full-time employee of Company or Company Bank, other than an employee who is a party to an employment agreement, change in control agreement or other separation agreement that provides a benefit on a termination of employment, who incurs an

involuntary termination (other than for cause) within six (6) months following the Effective Time shall receive a lump sum severance payment from Buyer or Buyer Bank equal to two (2) weeks of pay at the rate then in effect, for each full year of employment with Company or Company Bank, up to a maximum of twenty six (26) weeks, provided that such employee enters into a release of claims against Company and Buyer, their Subsidiaries and Affiliates in a form satisfactory to Buyer.

(g) Nothing in this Section 5.12, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.12. Without limiting the foregoing, no provision of this Section 5.12 will create any third party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee, director or consultant of Company or its Subsidiaries or Controlled Group Members, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment), compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits or any other matter. Nothing in this Section 5.12 is intended (i) to amend any Company Benefit Plan or any Buyer Benefit Plan, (ii) interfere with Buyer’s right from and after the Closing Date to amend or terminate any Company Benefit Plan that is not terminated prior to the Effective Time or Buyer Benefit Plan, (iii) interfere with Buyer’s right from and after the Effective Time to terminate the employment or provision of services by any director, employee, independent contractor or consultant or (iv) interfere with Buyer’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 5.11.

Section 5.13. Notification of Certain Changes. Buyer and Company shall promptly advise the other party of any change or event having, or which could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect or which it believes would, or which could reasonably be expected to, cause or constitute a material breach of any of its or its respective Subsidiaries’ representations, warranties or covenants contained herein, which reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article 6 to be satisfied on the Closing Date, provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any change or event shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of this Section 5.13, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case unless the underlying change or event would independently result in a failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 or Section 6.03 to be satisfied on the Closing Date.

Section 5.14. Transition; Informational Systems Conversion. From and after the date hereof, Buyer and Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to facilitate the integration of Company with the business of Buyer following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan for the conversion of the data processing and related electronic informational systems of Company and each of its Subsidiaries (the “Informational Systems Conversion”), in such a manner sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that a successful Informational Systems Conversion will occur at, as may be elected in writing by Buyer to Company after the date hereof and prior to filing the application for the Regulatory Approvals, (a) the time that is immediately following the Merger and the Bank Merger or (b) such later date as may be specified by Buyer, in each case, subject to any applicable Laws, including Laws regarding the exchange of information and other Laws regarding competition. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company shall, subject to any such applicable Laws: (i) reasonably cooperate with Buyer to establish a project plan as

specified by Buyer to effectuate the Informational Systems Conversion; (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to have Company’s outside contractors continue to support both the Informational Systems Conversion effort and its ongoing needs until the Informational Systems Conversion can be established; (iii) provide, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from any outside contractors, all data or other files and layouts reasonably requested by Buyer for use in planning the Informational Systems Conversion, as soon as reasonably practicable; (iv) provide reasonable access to Company’s personnel and facilities and, with the consent of its outside contractors, its outside contractors’ personnel and facilities, to the extent necessary to enable the Informational Systems Conversion effort to be completed on schedule; and (v) give notice of termination, conditioned upon the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, of the contracts of outside data, item and other processing contractors or other third-party vendors to which Company or any of its Subsidiaries are bound if requested to do so by Buyer to the extent permitted by such contracts; provided, that Company shall not be required to take any action under this Section 5.14 that, after consultation with Buyer regarding Company’s concerns in the matter, would prejudice or adversely affect in any material respect its rights under any such contracts in the event the Closing does not occur. Buyer shall promptly reimburse Company for any reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in this Section 5.14. Such access as contemplated by this Section 5.14 shall be conducted by Buyer in a manner which does not adversely affect the normal operations of Company or Company Bank and neither Company nor Company Bank shall be required to provide access to or disclose information (i) which would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Company or Company Bank or contravene any binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or any law, rule, regulation, order, judgement, decree or fiduciary duty, (ii) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, relating to an Acquisition Proposal, and Superior Proposal, a Company Subsequent Determination or any matters related thereto, (iii) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, related to the Company’s or Company Bank’s directors’, officers’, employees’, accountants’, counsels’, advisors’(including investment bankers) agents’, or other representatives’, consideration of, or deliberations regarding, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iv) the disclosure which would violate applicable Law.

Section 5.15. No Control of Other Party’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Buyer, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Buyer or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of Company and Buyer shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

Section 5.16. Environmental Assessments.

(a) No later than forty-five (45) Business Days after the date hereof, Company shall cooperate with and grant access to an environmental consulting firm selected and paid for by Buyer and reasonably acceptable to Company (the “Environmental Consultant”), during normal business hours (or at such other times as may be agreed to by Company), to any owned property set forth in Company Disclosure Schedule 3.31(a), for the purpose of conducting an ASTM Phase I and an asbestos and lead base paint survey as it relates to providing an environmental site

assessment to determine whether any such property may be impacted by a “recognized environmental condition,” as that term is defined by ASTM. Each Phase I (including the asbestos and lead base paint surveys) shall be delivered in counterpart copies to Buyer and Company, and will include customary language allowing both Buyer and Company to rely upon its findings and conclusions. The Environmental Consultant will provide a draft of any Phase I to Company and Buyer for review and comment prior to the finalization of such report. If Company or Company Bank has ASTM Phase I reports for any property set forth in Company Disclosure Schedule 3.31(a) that are dated as of a date that is within two (2) years before the date of this Agreement, then Company or Company Bank may deliver such reports to Buyer in lieu of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.16(a) with respect to that property.

(b) To the extent that Buyer identified any past or present events, conditions or circumstances that would require further investigation, remedial or cleanup action under Environmental Laws, Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take and complete any such reporting, remediation or other response actions prior to Closing.

Section 5.17. Certain Litigation. Company shall promptly advise Buyer orally and in writing of any actual or threatened litigation against Company and/or the members of the Company Board related to this Agreement or the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Company shall: (i) permit Buyer to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of Buyer in connection with, any proposed written or oral response to such litigation; (ii) furnish Buyer’s outside legal counsel with all non-privileged information and documents which outside counsel may reasonably request in connection with such litigation; (iii) consult with Buyer regarding the defense or settlement of any such litigation, shall give due consideration to Buyer’s advice with respect to such litigation and shall not settle any such litigation prior to such consultation and consideration; provided, however, that Company shall not settle any such litigation if such settlement requires the payment of money damages, without the written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the payment of any such damages by Company is reasonably expected by Company, following consultation with outside counsel, to be fully covered (disregarding any deductible to be paid by Company) under Company’s existing director and officer insurance policies, including any tail policy.

Section 5.18. Director Matters.

(a) Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Buyer resignations of all the directors of Company and its Subsidiaries, such resignations to be effective as of the Effective Time.

(b) Buyer shall take all appropriate action so that, as of the Effective Time, the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of Buyer and Buyer Bank shall be increased by five, and that the individuals identified on Company Disclosure Schedule 1.03 shall be appointed as directors of Buyer and Buyer Bank. Such individuals shall serve in such roles subject to the policies of Buyer.

(c) At or promptly following the Effective Time, Buyer shall invite the remaining members of the Board of Directors of Company (i.e., those individuals who were not specified in Company Disclosure Schedule 1.03) to serve as members of one or more regional advisory boards for Buyer Bank.

Section 5.19. Coordination.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Company and its Subsidiaries shall take any actions Buyer may reasonably request from time to time to better prepare the parties for integration of the operations of Company and Company Bank with Buyer and Buyer Bank, respectively. Without limiting the foregoing, senior officers of Company and Buyer shall meet from time to time as Buyer may reasonably request, and in any event not less frequently than monthly, to review the financial and operational affairs of Company and its Subsidiaries, and Company shall give due consideration to Buyer’s input on such matters, with the understanding that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, neither Buyer nor Buyer Bank shall under any circumstance be permitted to exercise control of Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time. Company shall permit representatives of Buyer Bank to be onsite at Company to facilitate integration of operations and assist with any other coordination efforts as necessary.

(b) Company shall, consistent with GAAP and regulatory accounting principles, use its commercially reasonable efforts to adjust, at Buyer’s reasonable request, internal control procedures which are consistent with Buyer’s and Buyer Bank’s current internal control procedures to allow Buyer to fulfill its reporting requirement under Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, provided, however, that no such adjustments need be made prior to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(b).

WHEREAS, in order to induce Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement, Shareholder is willing to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) beneficially owned by Shareholder and set forth below Shareholder’s signature on the signature page hereto (the “Original Shares” and, together with any additional shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the “Shares”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.	Definitions.

For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

2.	Representations of Shareholder.

Shareholder represents and warrants to Buyer that:

(a) (i) Shareholder owns beneficially (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the “Exchange Act”) all of the Original Shares, and (ii) except pursuant hereto, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which Shareholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any of the Original Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Original Shares.

(b) Shareholder does not beneficially own any shares of Company Common Stock other than (i) the Original Shares and (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Company Common Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of Company Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (collectively, “Options”).

(c) Shareholder has full legal capacity (and, if applicable, corporate power and authority) to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully Shareholder’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except in each case as enforcement may be limited general principles of equity, whether applied in a court of law or court of equity, and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditor’s rights and remedies generally.

(d) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder, the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by Shareholder with any of the provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice of lapse of time or both) under any provision of, any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument or Law applicable to Shareholder or to Shareholder’s property or assets.

(e) No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person on the part of Shareholder is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement. No consent of Shareholder’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws in order for Shareholder to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

3.	Agreement to Vote Shares.

Except as expressly permitted under Section 5.10 of the Merger Agreement, Shareholder agrees during the term of this Agreement to vote the Shares, and to cause any holder of record of Shares to vote (or execute a written consent or consents if shareholders of the Company are requested to vote their shares through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of Shareholders of the Company): (i) in favor of the Merger and the Merger Agreement, at every meeting (or in connection with any action by written consent) of the shareholders of the Company at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof; (ii) against (1) any Acquisition Proposal, (2) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or of Shareholder under this Agreement, and (3) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment of the Company’s or Company Bank’s conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of the Company (including any amendments to

the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Shareholder from voting for a Superior Proposal (and, in that circumstance, against the Merger and the Merger Agreement) in accordance with the terms of Section 5.10 of the Merger Agreement.

4.	No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement.

Shareholder agrees that Shareholder will not, and will not permit any entity under Shareholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Shares or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than agreements entered into with Buyer.

5.	Transfer and Encumbrance.

Shareholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber (“Transfer”) any of the Shares or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Shares or Shareholder’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 5 shall be null and void. This Section 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares by Stockholder to any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit of Stockholder or any member of Stockholder’s immediate family, or upon the death of Stockholder; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

6.	Additional Shares.

Shareholder agrees that all shares of Company Common Stock that Shareholder purchases, acquires the right to vote or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of after the execution of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.

7.	Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights.

8.	Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

9.	No Agreement as Director or Officer.

Shareholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Shareholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (if Shareholder holds such office), and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Shareholder in Shareholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict Shareholder from exercising Shareholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director to the Company or its shareholders.

10.	Specific Performance.

Each party hereto acknowledges that it may be impossible to measure in money the damage to the other party if a party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such obligation is material and that, in the event of any such failure, the other party may not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly, each party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law. Each party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.

11.	Entire Agreement.

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

(viii) The unauthorized disclosure by the Officer of Confidential Information, as defined in this Agreement, concerning the Corporation, the Bank or any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries, unless such disclosure was required by an order of a court having jurisdiction over the subject matter or a summons, subpoena or order in the nature thereof of any legislative body (including any committee thereof) or any governmental or administrative agency; or

(ix) The performance of services by the Officer, other than in the course of properly carrying out the Officer’s duties under this Agreement and as otherwise provided herein, for any other corporation or person that competes with the Bank while the Officer is employed by the Corporation or the Bank.

(b) By the Officer upon the lapse of 30 days following written notice by the Officer to the Corporation of termination of Officer’s employment hereunder for Good Reason (as defined below), which notice shall reasonably describe the Good Reason for which the Officer’s employment is being terminated; provided, however, that the Corporation shall have the opportunity to cure such Good Reason, during such 30-day period, and the Officer’s employment shall continue in effect during such time. If such Good Reason shall be cured during such time, the Officer’s employment and the obligations of the Corporation and the Bank hereunder shall not terminate as a result of the notice which has been given with respect to such Good Reason. Cure of any Good Reason with or without notice from the Officer shall not

relieve the Corporation or the Bank from any obligations to the Officer under this Agreement or otherwise and shall not affect the Officer’s rights upon the reoccurrence of the same, or the occurrence of any other, Good Reason. Any notice of termination for Good Reason must be delivered by the Officer to the Corporation within sixty (60) days of the event providing grounds for Good Reason termination and must contain a reasonably detailed description of the relevant facts and circumstances. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean (i) any breach by the Corporation or the Bank of Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 18 of this Agreement, (ii) any material breach by the Corporation or the Bank of any other provision of this Agreement, or (iii) reassignment which assigns full-time employment duties to Officer to a location more than thirty-five (35) miles from the Officer’s principal office on the date of this Agreement (provided, however, that the Officer shall be required to regularly travel to the Corporation’s various offices and customers as a core function of the Officer’s duties, and such obligations and travel requirements shall not give rise to a termination for “Good Reason”).

If the Officer’s employment is terminated by the Officer for Good Reason, the Bank shall, for a period of 12 months after said termination (i) pay the Officer the sum of the annual base salary in effect under Section 4(a) on the date of said termination, plus an amount equal to the last bonus paid by the Bank to the Officer, which amount shall be paid in equal installments on each regularly scheduled pay period and (ii) reimburse the Officer for the costs of continued coverage under the Bank’s medical insurance plan in accordance with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), less the amount that the Officer would be required to contribute for such health coverage if the Officer were an active employee.

(c) By the Officer upon the lapse of 30 days following written notice by the Officer to the Corporation of the Officer’s resignation for other than Good Reason; provided, however, that the Corporation, in its discretion, may cause such termination to be effective at any time during such 30-day period. If the Officer’s employment is terminated because of the Officer’s resignation, the Bank shall be obligated to pay to the Officer any salary, vacation, and bonus amounts accrued and unpaid as of the effective date of such resignation.

(d) If the Officer’s employment is terminated by the death or disability (i.e., the inability of the Officer by reason of illness or physical or mental disability to perform the employment duties required of the Officer, as determined by the Corporation and the Bank, for a period of 90 consecutive days) of the Officer, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and the Bank shall be obligated to pay to the Officer or the Officer’s estate any salary, vacation, and bonus amounts accrued and unpaid at the date of disability or death.

(e) By the Corporation, by action taken by its Board or its Chief Executive Officer, at any time if said discharge is without Cause. If the Officer’s employment is terminated without Cause, the Bank shall, for a period of 12 months after said termination (i) pay to the Officer the sum of the annual base salary in effect under Section 4(a) on the date of said termination plus an amount equal to the last bonus paid by the Bank to the Officer, which amount shall be paid in equal installments on each regularly scheduled pay period and (ii) reimburse the Officer for the costs of continued coverage under the Bank’s medical insurance plan in accordance with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), less the amount that the Officer would be required to contribute for such health coverage if the Officer were an active employee.

(f) If a Change in Control (as defined below) shall occur at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Officer may terminate her employment for any reason or no reason by delivering a notice in writing (the “Notice of Termination”) to the Corporation within thirty (30) days of the Change in Control which termination shall be effective immediately upon delivery of such Notice of Termination. In the event that the Officer delivers a Notice of Termination to the Corporation, or the Officer’s employment is terminated without Cause by the Corporation within two (2) years following a Change in Control, Officer shall be entitled to receive, within twenty (20) days of termination, a lump sum payment in an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of (i) her base annual salary and (ii) the last annual cash bonus earned by the Officer. For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with an unaffiliated entity, but not including a merger or consolidation in which any individual or group of the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation are the beneficial owners of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the acquisition by any individual or group of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Corporation common stock, or (iii) the sale by the Corporation or the Bank of all or substantially all of their respective assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall only be deemed to occur under this Section 8(f) if it constitutes a “change in control” as defined under Section 409A of the Code. It is the intent of the parties that benefits under this Section 8(f) shall be in lieu of any other benefit payments that the Corporation or Bank may otherwise be obligated to make to the Officer under this Section 8. Therefore, if any benefits are paid under this Section 8(f), no subsequent benefits shall be paid under any other subsection of this Section 8, and shall not be paid for a second time under this Section 8(f).

(g) Notwithstanding anything is this Agreement to the contrary, any benefits payable by the Corporation or the Bank to the Officer which constitute a “deferral of compensation” as that term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-l (b), and which are payable by reason of the Officer’s termination, shall not be payable unless the Officer’s termination of employment qualifies as a “separation of service” as that term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-l (h) (“Separation from Service”).

(h) (1) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Officer is considered a Specified Employee (as defined below), any benefit distributions which would otherwise be made to the Officer due to a Separation from Service which are limited under Code Section 409A because the Officer is a Specified Employee, shall not be made during the first six months following Separation from Service. Rather, any distribution which would otherwise be paid to the Officer during such period shall be accumulated and paid to the Officer in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month following the Separation from Service. All subsequent distributions shall be paid in the manner specified.

(2) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Specified Employee” means an employee who at the time of termination of employment is a key employee of the Bank, if any stock of the Bank (or any affiliate that would be considered a “service recipient” under Code Section 409A) is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise. For purposes of this Agreement, an employee is a key employee if the employee meets the requirements of Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii), or (iii) (applied in accordance with the regulations thereunder and disregarding section 416(i)(5) at any time during the 12-month period ending on December 31 (the “identification period”). If the employee is a key employee during an identification period, the employee is treated as a key employee for purposes of this Agreement during the twelve-month period that begins on the first day of April following the close of the identification period.

(i) Any amounts paid to the Officer under this Agreement prior to the Officer’s termination of employment with the Bank shall be paid during the short-term deferral period as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4).

(j) This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered consistent with Code Section 409A.

(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Officer will not be entitled to any payments or benefits under Section 8(b) or 8(e) (unless such termination event related to the payments or benefits occurs on or after a Change in Control) unless and until Officer executes a release of all claims that Officer or any of Officer’s affiliates or beneficiaries may have against the Bank or any affiliate, and their officers, directors, successors and assigns, releasing said persons from any and all claims, rights, demands, causes of action, suits, arbitrations or grievances relating to the employment relationship, including claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), but not including claims for benefits under tax-qualified plans or other benefit plans in which the Officer is vested, claims for benefits required by applicable law or claims with respect to obligations set forth in this Agreement that survive the termination of this Agreement. In order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the ADEA, the release must be provided to Officer no later than the date of her Separation from Service and Officer must execute the release within twenty-one (21) days after the date of termination without subsequent revocation by Officer within seven (7) days after execution of the release.

(l) Officer shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 8 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of payment or the benefit provided in this Section 8 be reduced by any compensation or earned by Officer as the result of employment by another employer or by reason of Officer’s receipt of or right to receive any retirement or other benefits after the date of termination of employment or otherwise.

9. Notice. All notices permitted or required to be given to either party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) in the case of delivery, when addressed to the other party as set forth at the end of this Agreement and delivered to said

address (and, in the case of the Corporation or the Bank, at its main office), (b) in the case of mailing, three days after the same has been mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, and deposited postage prepaid in the U.S. Mails, addressed to the other party at the address as set forth at the end of this Agreement, and (c) in any other case, when actually received by the other party. Either party may change the address at which said notice is to be given by delivering notice of such to the other party to this Agreement in the manner set forth herein.

10. Confidential Information. While employed, Officer will have access to and become acquainted with Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Proprietary Information, including but not limited to, financial, personnel, sales, customers, clients, scientific, technical and other information regarding formulas, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, operations, plans and processes that are owned by the Corporation or the Bank, actually or potentially used in the operation of the Corporation’s or Bank’s business, or obtained from third parties under an agreement of confidentiality, and that such information constitutes the Corporation’s and the Bank’s Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Proprietary Information. Officer hereby expressly agrees that such Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Proprietary Information are and shall remain the trade secrets and property of the Corporation or the Bank, as the case may be, and Officer agrees that Officer will not at any time during the term of this Agreement or after the termination of this Agreement, disclose or use in any way whatsoever any of such confidential information. Furthermore, Officer specifically covenants and agrees not to make any duplicates, copies, or reconstructions of such materials, and that if any such duplicates, copies, or reconstructions are made, they shall become the property of the Corporation upon their creation.

For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information, Trade Secrets, and Proprietary Information shall mean all information of a confidential or proprietary nature (including such information described herein), in any form or medium, that relates to: (a) internal business information, including financial information and information relating to strategic and staffing plans, business, training, marketing, promotional and sales plans, cost, rate and pricing structures; (b) identities of, individual requirements of, specific contractual arrangements with, the Corporation’s or Bank’s clients, customers, vendors and other trade related business relations and their confidential information; (c) object code and source code to the Corporation’s or the Bank’s software, technical designs, data dictionaries, information relating to trade secrets, know-how, compilations of data and databases relating thereto, including information containing proprietary databases and the use and functions thereof; (d) inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, designs, analyses, drawings, reports and all similar or related information, whether patentable or not; and (e) other intellectual property rights of the Corporation or the Bank.

Officer agrees that all files, records, documents, drawings, specifications, equipment, software, and similar items or technological information whether maintained in hard copy or by electronic means relating to the Corporation or the Bank’s business, whether prepared by Officer or others, are and shall remain exclusively the property of the Corporation or the Bank, as applicable, and that they shall be removed from the premises or, if kept online, from the computer systems only with the express prior written consent of the Board. Upon termination of

employment, or at any earlier time requested by the Corporation or the Bank, Officer shall promptly return all Confidential and/or Proprietary Information or inventions in Officer’s possession in whatever form, as well as any other property of the Corporation or the Bank, which is or has been in the Officer’s possession or under the Officer’s control. Officer agrees not to delete, modify, or bulk copy any work files prior to or subsequent to termination and the Officer agrees to reimburse all costs associated with data recovery if this provision of the Agreement is breached.

11. Legitimate Business Interests; Injunction Without Bond. The Officer acknowledges that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Agreement are necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Bank including, but not limited to, trade secrets and other valuable confidential business information. In the event there is a breach or threatened breach by the Officer of the provisions of Sections 10, 12, or 13, the Corporation shall be entitled to an injunction without bond to restrain such breach or threatened breach, and the prevailing party in any such proceeding will be entitled to reimbursement for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection therewith. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Corporation and the Bank from pursuing such other remedies available to it for any such breach or threatened breach including recovery of damages from the Officer.

12. Covenant Not to Compete. The Officer agrees that during the period of time the Officer is retained to provide services to the Corporation and/or the Bank, and thereafter for a period of twelve (12) months subsequent to the termination of Officer’s services for any reason whatsoever, Officer will not enter the employ of, or have any interest in, directly or indirectly (either as executive, partner, director, officer, consultant, principal, agent or employee), any other bank or financial institution or any entity which either accepts deposits or makes loans (whether presently existing or subsequently established) and which has an office any time during the period of twelve (12) months subsequent to the termination of Officer’s services that is located within a radius of 35 miles of any office of the Bank in existence at the time of termination; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude any ownership by the Officer of an amount not to exceed 5% of the equity securities of any entity which is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the 1934 Act and the shares of Corporation common stock owned by the Officer at the time of termination of employment.

13. Covenant Not to Solicit. The Officer agrees that during the period of time the Officer is retained to provide services to the Corporation and/or the Bank, and thereafter for a period of twelve (12) months subsequent to the termination of Officer’s services for any reason whatsoever, the Officer will not (a) solicit for employment by Officer, or anyone else, or employ any employee of the Bank or the Corporation or any person who was an employee of the Bank or Corporation within twelve (12) months prior to such solicitation of employment; (b) induce, or attempt to induce, any employee of the Bank or the Corporation to terminate such employee’s employment; (c) induce, or attempt to induce, anyone having a business relationship with the Bank or the Corporation to terminate or curtail such relationship or, on behalf of himself or anyone else, compete with the Bank or the Corporation; (d) knowingly make any untrue statement concerning the Corporation or the Bank or their respective directors or officers to anyone; or (e) permit anyone controlled by the Officer, or any person acting on behalf of the Officer or anyone controlled by an employee of the Officer to do any of the foregoing.

Officer acknowledges and agrees that the Bank and the Corporation have spent and continue to spend considerable time, energy, and money in training employees and shareholders and that the Bank and the Corporation would suffer significant damages if Officer were to either encourage one or more of such persons to no longer work for the Bank or the Corporation or offer to have one or more of such persons work for Officer. Further, Officer agrees and acknowledges that the above non-solicitation covenants are reasonable in that they give the Bank and the Corporation a protection to which they are entitled and yet does not impair Officer’s ability to earn a livelihood.

14. Remedies. The Officer agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are fair and reasonable. The covenants set forth in this Agreement are not dependent covenants and any claim against the Corporation or the Bank, whether arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement or contract between the Corporation or the Bank and Officer, shall not be a defense to a claim against Officer for a breach or alleged breach of any of the covenants of Officer contained in this Agreement. It is expressly understood by and between the parties hereto that the covenants contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants. The Officer understands and agrees that if any of the separate covenants are judicially held invalid or unenforceable, such holding shall not release Officer from Officer’s obligations under the remaining covenants of this Agreement. If in any judicial proceedings, a court shall refuse to enforce any or all of the separate covenants because taken together they are more extensive (whether as to geographic area, duration, scope of business or otherwise) than necessary to protect the business and goodwill of the Corporation and the Bank, it is expressly understood and agreed between the parties hereto that those separate covenants which, if eliminated or restricted, would permit the remaining separate covenants or the restricted separate covenant to be enforced in such proceeding shall, for the purposes of such proceeding, be eliminated from the provisions of this Agreement or restriction, as the case may be.

15. Invalid Provision. In the event any provision should be or become invalid or unenforceable, such facts shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Similarly, if the scope of any restriction or covenant contained herein should be or become too broad or extensive to permit enforcement thereof to its full extent, then any such restriction or covenant shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and Officer hereby consents and agrees that the scope of any such restriction or covenant may be modified accordingly in any judicial proceeding brought to enforce such restriction or covenant.

16. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. The sole and exclusive venue for any action arising out of this Agreement shall be a federal or state court situated in Hillsborough County, Florida, and the parties to this Agreement agree to be subject to the personal jurisdiction of such Court and that service on each party shall be valid if served by certified mail, return receipt requested or hand delivery.

17. Arbitration. Except with regard to Section 11, all disputes between the parties concerning the performance, breach, construction or interpretation of this Agreement, or in any manner arising out of this Agreement, shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, which arbitration shall be carried out in the manner set forth below:

(a) Within fifteen (15) days after written notice by one party to the other party of its demand for arbitration, which demand shall set forth the name and address of its designated arbitrator, the other party shall select its designated arbitrator and so notify the demanding party. Within fifteen (15) days thereafter, the two arbitrators so selected shall select the third arbitrator. The dispute shall be heard by the arbitrators within ninety (90) days after selection of the third arbitrator. The decision of any two arbitrators shall be binding upon the parties. Should any party or arbitrator fail to make a selection, the American Arbitration Association shall designate such arbitrator upon the application of either party. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Bank, its successors and assigns and Officer.

(b) The arbitration proceedings shall take place in Hillsborough County, Florida, and the judgment and determination of such proceedings shall be binding on all parties. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered into any court having competent jurisdiction without any right of appeal.

18. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In the event a dispute arises between the parties under this Agreement and suit or arbitration is instituted, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover his or its costs and attorneys’ fees from the nonprevailing party. As used herein, costs and attorneys’ fees include any costs and attorneys’ fees in any appellate proceeding.

19. Assignability; Binding Nature. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, heirs and assigns. No rights or obligations of the Corporation or the Bank under the Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the any party except that such rights or obligations of the Corporation and the Bank may be assigned or transferred pursuant to a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation or the Bank is not the continuing entity, or the sale or liquidation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the Bank, provided that the assignee or transferee is the successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or the Bank and such assignee or transferee assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Corporation and the Bank.

20. Effect on Other Agreements. This Agreement and the termination thereof shall not affect any other agreement between the parties hereto, and the receipt by the Officer of benefits thereunder.

21. Miscellaneous. The captions used herein are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not used in construing this Agreement. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the performance by each party of its or his or her duties and obligations hereunder.

22. Regulatory Actions; Clawback Requirements. The following provisions shall be applicable to the parties:

(a) If the Officer is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs pursuant to notice served under Section 8(e)(3) or Section 8(g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”) (12 U.S.C. 1818(e)(3) and 1818(g)(1)), the Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of suspension, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings. If the charges and the notice are dismissed, the Bank may, in its discretion: (i) pay the Officer all or part of the compensation withheld while its obligations under this Agreement were suspended and (ii) reinstate (in whole or in part) any of its obligations which were suspended.

(b) If the Officer is removed from office and/or permanently prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Bank’s affairs by an order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or Section 8(g)(1) of the FDIA, all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of the Officer and the Bank as of the date of termination shall not be affected.

(c) If the Bank is in default, as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of the FDIA, all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of such default, but vested rights of the Officer and the Bank as of the date of termination shall not be affected.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any amounts paid or payable under the FDIA to the Officer pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Sections 18(k) and 32(a) of the FDIA and Part 359 of the FDIC’s rules and regulations, and any regulations promulgated under the FDIA.

(e) This Agreement shall be subject to applicable federal and state law regarding clawback of executive compensation. In the event that, during the term of this Agreement, clawback regulations are promulgated by any state or federal agency with regulatory authority over the Bank, Officer and the Bank agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment incorporating a clawback provision into this Agreement.

23. Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement between the parties hereto and incorporates all prior discussions, agreements and representations made in regard to the matters set forth herein. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed except by a writing signed by the party to be charged by said amendment, change or modification.
