ARTICLE III
CONVERSION OF SHARES
3.1. Conversion of MCBI Common Stock; Merger Consideration.
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of BMBC, MCBI or the holders of any of the shares of MCBI Common Stock, the Merger shall be effected in accordance with the following terms:
3.1.1. BMBC Shares. Each share of BMBC Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.
3.1.2. Cancelled MCBI Shares. All shares of MCBI Common Stock and MCBI Preferred Stock held in the treasury of MCBI (“Treasury Stock”) and each share of MCBI Common Stock owned by BMBC immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in connection with debts previously contracted) shall, at the Effective Time, cease to exist, and the certificates for such shares shall be canceled as promptly as practicable thereafter, and no payment or distribution shall be made in consideration therefor.
3.1.3. Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Article III, each share of MCBI Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Treasury Stock), except as to Dissenting Shares, shall become and be converted into, as provided in and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to adjustment in accordance with Sections 3.1.5 hereof.
3.1.4. Rights of MCBI Shares Post-Effective Time. After the Effective Time, shares of MCBI Common Stock shall be no longer outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, except as to Dissenting Shares, and shall thereafter by operation of this section represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect thereto or any dividends or distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that were declared or made by MCBI on such shares of MCBI Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the Effective Time and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.
3.1.5. Stock Splits, Etc. In the event BMBC changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of, or provides for the exchange of, shares of BMBC Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding BMBC Common Stock and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted; provided that no such adjustment shall be made with regard to BMBC Common Stock if BMBC issues additional shares of BMBC Common Stock and receives fair market value consideration for such shares.
3.1.6. No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of BMBC Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of Certificates for exchange, no dividend or distribution with
12
respect to BMBC Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of BMBC. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, BMBC shall pay to each former shareholder of MCBI who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share, an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent), determined by multiplying (a) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of MCBI Common Stock held by such holder at the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of BMBC Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1, and (b) the average of the daily closing sales prices of a share of BMBC Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the fifth day prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of determining any fractional share interest, all shares of MCBI Common Stock owned by an MCBI shareholder shall be combined so as to calculate the maximum number of whole shares of BMBC Common Stock issuable to such MCBI shareholder.
3.2. Procedures for Exchange of MCBI Common Stock.
3.2.1. Deposit of Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, BMBC shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (a) certificates representing the number of shares of BMBC Common Stock sufficient to deliver, and BMBC shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely deliver, the aggregate Merger Consideration (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares), and (b) to the extent then determinable, any cash payable in connection with the Warrant Cash-Out Payments pursuant to Section 3.2.12 (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”) and BMBC shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay the aggregate Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of fractional shares) and the Warrant Cash-Out Payments, in accordance with this Agreement.
3.2.2. Exchange of Certificates. BMBC shall cause the Exchange Agent, within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, to mail to each holder of a Certificate or Certificates, a letter of transmittal for return to the Exchange Agent and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates for the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of fractional shares), if any, into which the MCBI Common Stock represented by such Certificates shall have been converted as a result of the Merger. The letter of transmittal shall be subject to the approval of MCBI (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (a) a certificate representing that number of shares of BMBC Common Stock (if any) to which such former holder of MCBI Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof and (b) a check representing the amount of cash (if any) payable in lieu of fractional shares of BMBC Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole cent), to which such former holder of MCBI Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable in lieu of fractional shares.
13
3.2.3. Rights of Certificate Holders after the Effective Time. The holder of a Certificate that prior to the Merger represented issued and outstanding MCBI Common Stock shall have no rights, after the Effective Time, with respect to such MCBI Common Stock except to surrender the Certificate in exchange for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions with respect to BMBC Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of BMBC Common Stock represented thereby, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Section 3.2. Subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such Certificate in accordance with this Section 3.2, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without interest, (a) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the whole shares of BMBC Common Stock represented by such Certificate and not paid and/or (b) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to shares of BMBC Common Stock represented by such Certificate with a record date after the Effective Time (but before such surrender date) and with a payment date subsequent to the issuance of the BMBC Common Stock issuable with respect to such Certificate.
3.2.4. Surrender by Persons Other than Record Holders. In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate representing MCBI Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of MCBI, the proper amount of cash and/or shares of BMBC Common Stock shall be paid or issued in exchange therefor to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if the Certificate formerly representing such MCBI 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 establish to the satisfaction of BMBC that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable.
3.2.5. Closing of Transfer Books. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of MCBI of the shares of MCBI Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of MCBI Common Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of fractional shares) to be issued or paid in consideration therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.2.
3.2.6. Return of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of MCBI as of the first anniversary of the Effective Time may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be paid to BMBC. In such event, any former shareholders of MCBI who have not theretofore complied with this Section 3.2 shall thereafter look only to BMBC with respect to the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares) and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the BMBC Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of MCBI Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of BMBC, MCBI, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of MCBI Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
14
3.2.7. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by BMBC or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as BMBC may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.
3.2.8. Withholding Rights. BMBC or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of MCBI Common Stock such amounts as BMBC (or any Affiliate thereof) or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by BMBC or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the MCBI Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by BMBC or the Exchange Agent.
3.2.9. Treatment of MCBI Options. MCBI Disclosure Schedule 3.2.9 sets forth all of the outstanding MCBI Options as of the date hereof, which schedule includes, for each option grant, the name of the individual grantee, the date of grant, the exercise price, the vesting schedule and the expiration date.
(A) At the Effective Time, all MCBI Options which are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto shall become fully vested and exercisable and be converted, in their entirety, automatically into fully vested and exercisable options to purchase shares of BMBC Common Stock (the “Continuing Options”) in an amount and at an exercise price determined as provided below (and otherwise subject to the terms of MCBI Option Plans):
(1) The number of shares of BMBC Common Stock to be subject to the Continuing Options shall be equal to the product of the number of shares of MCBI Common Stock subject to the MCBI Options and the Exchange Ratio; provided that any fractional shares of BMBC Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest share; and
(2) The exercise price per share of BMBC Common Stock under the Continuing Options shall be equal to the exercise price per share of MCBI Common Stock under the MCBI Options divided by the Exchange Ratio; provided that such exercise price shall be rounded down to the nearest cent.
The adjustment provided herein with respect to each option, whether or not an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code), shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code. The duration and other terms of the Continuing Options shall be the same as the MCBI Options, except that all references to MCBI shall be deemed to be references to BMBC.
(B) At all times after the Effective Time, BMBC shall reserve for issuance such number of shares of BMBC Common Stock as necessary so as to permit the exercise of Continuing Options in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and in the instruments pursuant to which such options were granted.
15
3.2.10. Exercise of Continuing Options. Continuing Options may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the MCBI Options in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable law and regulation.
3.2.11. Reservation of Shares. BMBC shall reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of the BMBC Common Stock for the purpose of issuing shares of BMBC Common Stock to the MCBI shareholders in accordance with this Article III.
3.2.12. Warrants. MCBI Disclosure Schedule 3.2.12 sets forth all of the outstanding MCBI Warrants as of the date hereof, which schedule includes, for each warrant grant, the name of the individual grantee, the date of grant, the exercise price, the vesting schedule and the expiration date. At the Effective Time, each MCBI Warrant outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive with respect to such MCBI Warrant only a cash payment from BMBC with respect to the MCBI Warrant equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the excess, if any, of $12.00 minus the exercise price per share of such MCBI Warrant, by (b) the number of shares of MCBI Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such MCBI Warrant (the aggregate of such cash payments, the “Warrant Cash-Out Payments”). MCBI Warrants which have an exercise price per share equal to or greater than $12.00 shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time without the payment of any consideration.
3.2.13. Dissenter’s Rights.
(A) Each outstanding share of MCBI Common Stock, the holder of which has perfected his right to dissent under applicable law and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration hereunder, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the PBCL. MCBI shall give BMBC prompt notice upon receipt by MCBI of any such demands for payment of the fair value of such shares of MCBI Common Stock and of withdrawals of such notice and any other related communications served pursuant to the applicable provisions of the PBCL (any shareholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”), and BMBC shall have the right to participate in all discussions, negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. MCBI shall not, except with the prior written consent of BMBC, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment, or 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 PBCL. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Surviving Corporation.
(B) If any Dissenting Shareholder withdraws or loses (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his right to such payment at or prior to the Effective Time, such holder’s shares of MCBI Common Stock shall be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If such holder withdraws or loses (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his right to such payment after the Effective Time, each share of MCBI Common Stock of such holder shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration.

6.2.1. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, MCBI will cause one or more of its representatives to confer with representatives of BMBC and report the general status of its ongoing operations at such times as BMBC may reasonably request. MCBI will promptly notify BMBC of any material change in the normal course of its business or in the operation of its properties and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, of any governmental complaints, investigations or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated), or the institution or the threat of litigation involving MCBI or any MCBI Subsidiary. Without limiting the foregoing, senior officers of BMBC and MCBI shall meet on a reasonably regular basis (expected to be at least monthly) to review the financial, credit and operational affairs, and the like, of MCBI and its Subsidiaries, in accordance with
52
applicable law, and MCBI shall give due consideration to BMBC’s input on such matters, with the understanding that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, neither BMBC nor any BMBC Subsidiary shall under any circumstance be permitted to exercise control of MCBI or any MCBI Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time.
6.2.2. MCCB and BMT shall meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan for the conversion of MCCB’s data processing and related electronic informational systems to those used by BMT, which planning shall include, but not be limited to, discussion of the possible termination by MCCB of third-party service provider arrangements effective at the Effective Time or at a date thereafter, non-renewal of personal property leases and software licenses used by MCCB in connection with its systems operations, retention of outside consultants and additional employees to assist with the conversion, and outsourcing, as appropriate, of proprietary or self-provided system services, it being understood that MCCB shall not be obligated to take any such action prior to the Effective Time and, unless MCCB otherwise agrees, no conversion shall take place prior to the Effective Time. In the event that MCCB takes, at the request of BMT, any action relative to third parties to facilitate the conversion that results in the imposition of any termination fees or charges, BMT shall indemnify MCCB for any such fees and charges, and the costs of reversing the conversion process, if for any reason the Merger is not consummated for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement by MCBI, or a termination of this Agreement under Section 11.1.8 or 11.1.9.
6.2.3. Each of the parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party in doing, all things necessary, proper, and advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including, without limitation, any actions, assistance or cooperation necessary in preparation for the conversion and integration of MCCB’s operations into BMT’s operations.
6.2.4.

6.2.5. MCBI shall promptly inform BMBC upon receiving notice of any legal, administrative, arbitration or other proceedings, demands, notices, audits or investigations by any federal, state or local commission, agency or board relating to the alleged liability of MCBI or any MCBI Subsidiary under any labor or employment law, or related to any claims made by or threatened by any current or former employee or applicant.
6.3. Access to Properties and Records.
Subject to Section 12.1 hereof, MCBI shall permit BMBC reasonable access during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to its properties and those of the MCBI

Subsidiaries, and shall disclose and make available to BMBC during normal business hours all of its books, papers and records relating to the assets, properties, operations, obligations and liabilities, including, but not limited to, all books of account (including the general ledger), tax records, minute books of directors’ (other than minutes that discuss any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other subject matter MCBI determines based on the advice of legal counsel should be treated as confidential) and shareholders’ meetings, organizational documents, bylaws, contracts and agreements, filings with any regulatory authority, litigation files, plans affecting employees, and any other business activities or prospects in which BMBC may have a reasonable interest; provided, however, that MCBI shall not be required to take any action that would provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights or business interests or confidences of any customer or other person or would result in the waiver by it of the privilege protecting communications between it and any of its counsel or that is otherwise prohibited by law or contractual agreement. MCBI shall provide and shall request its auditors to provide BMBC with such historical financial information regarding it (and related audit reports and consents) as BMBC may reasonably request for securities disclosure purposes. BMBC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with MCBI’s regular business operations during any such access to MCBI’s property, books and records. MCBI shall permit BMBC, at its expense, to cause a Phase I and any Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (“Phase II”) recommended therein to be performed at each MCBI Real Property at any time prior to the Closing Date. BMBC and its environmental consultant shall conduct all environmental assessments pursuant to this Section at mutually agreeable times and so as to eliminate or minimize to the greatest extent possible interference with MCBI’s operation of its business, and BMBC shall maintain or cause to be maintained reasonably adequate insurance with respect to any assessment conducted hereunder. BMBC shall be required to restore each MCBI Real Property to substantially its pre-assessment condition. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Phase I or Phase II and any restoration and clean up, shall be borne solely by BMBC. BMBC hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold MCBI harmless from and against any cost, expense, charge, lien, action or judgment, as well as any claim of a right to any such cost, expense, charge, lien, action or judgment arising from any act or omission of BMBC, BMBC’s agents or contractors, or any services, labor, supplies or materials provided or performed by surveyors, engineers, architects and others hired by BMBC to make the inspections and tests, and from and against any personal injury and property damage caused by the act or neglect of BMBC or any of its agents, or independent contractors in connection with any Phase I or Phase II.

6.4.2. As soon as reasonably available, MCBI will furnish to BMBC copies of all documents, statements and reports that it or any MCBI Subsidiary shall send to its shareholders or any Bank Regulator to the extent legally permitted to do so; provided that if
54
MCBI is not legally permitted to furnish BMBC with a document without having received the approval of a Bank Regulator, MCBI shall promptly request such approval from the applicable Bank Regulator. Within 25 days after the end of each month, MCBI will deliver to BMBC a consolidated balance sheet and a consolidated statement of income, without related notes, for such month prepared in accordance with current financial reporting practices. Within 25 days after the end of each month, MCBI will deliver to BMBC a monthly financial reporting package for the previous month and previous month on a YTD basis, in the same form as is delivered to the CEO and/or the Board of Directors of MCCB and MCBI, prepared in accordance with current financial reporting practices.
6.4.3. To the extent legally permitted to do so, MCBI will advise BMBC promptly of the receipt of any examination report of any Bank Regulator with respect to the condition or activities of MCBI or any of the MCBI Subsidiaries; provided further that if MCBI is not legally permitted to furnish BMBC with an examination report without having received the approval of a Bank Regulator, MCBI shall promptly request such approval from the applicable Bank Regulator.

6.6. Disclosure Supplements.
Ten (10) days prior to the Effective Time, MCBI will supplement or amend the MCBI Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection herewith with respect to any matter hereafter arising which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such MCBI Disclosure Schedule or which is necessary to correct any information in such MCBI Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered inaccurate thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MCBI shall notify BMBC if any representation or warranty of MCBI becomes materially inaccurate within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence.

Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by MCBI or any Representative, whether or not such Representative is so authorized and whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of MCBI or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by MCBI. MCBI and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause each of MCBI 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 BMBC), 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
56
exchange, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries; (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, any assets of MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries representing, in the aggregate, fifteen percent (15%) or more of the assets of MCBI and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (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 fifteen percent (15%) or more of the votes attached to the outstanding securities of MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries; (d) any tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in any third party or group beneficially owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of any class of equity securities of MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries; or (e) any transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions, or any combination of the foregoing.
6.10.2. Notwithstanding Section 6.10.1, MCBI may take any of the actions described in clause (b) of Section 6.10.1 if, but only if, (a) MCBI has received a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.10; (b) the Board of Directors of MCBI determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; (c) MCBI has provided BMBC with at least three (3) Business Days prior notice of such determination; and (d) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, MCBI receives from such Person a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to MCBI than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreements. MCBI shall promptly provide to BMBC any non-public information regarding MCBI or its subsidiaries provided to any other Person that was not previously provided to BMBC, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified made by a third party to enter into an Acquisition Transaction on terms that the Board of Directors of MCBI determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, (a) would, if consummated, result in the acquisition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding shares of MCBI Common Stock or all, or substantially all, of the assets of MCBI and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (b) would result in a transaction that (i) involves consideration to the holders of the shares of MCBI Common Stock that is more favorable than the Merger Consideration to be paid to MCBI’s shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, considering, among other things, the nature of the consideration being offered and any regulatory approvals or other risks associated with the timing of the proposed transaction beyond or in addition to those specifically contemplated hereby, and which proposal is not conditioned upon obtaining additional financing and (b) is, in light of the other terms of such proposal, more favorable to MCBI than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (c) is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed, in each case taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal.
57
6.10.3. MCBI shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) notify BMBC 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, MCBI or any MCBI 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 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) unless (a) such materials constitute confidential information of the party making such offer or proposal under an effective confidentiality agreement, (b) disclosure of such materials jeopardizes the attorney-client privilege or (c) disclosure of such materials contravenes any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree. MCBI agrees that it shall keep BMBC informed, on a 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).
6.10.4. Neither the Board of Directors of MCBI nor any committee thereof shall (a) withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose to withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to BMBC in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), the MCBI Recommendation (as defined in Section 8.1), or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with the MCBI Shareholders Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the MCBI 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 MCBI Recommendation); (b) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; or (c) enter into (or cause MCBI or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (i) related to any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10.2) or (ii) requiring MCBI to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
6.10.5. Notwithstanding Section 6.10.4, prior to the date of MCBI Shareholders Meeting, the Board of Directors of MCBI may approve or recommend to the shareholders of MCBI a Superior Proposal and withdraw, qualify or modify the MCBI Recommendation in connection therewith (a “MCBI Subsequent Determination”) after the fifth (5th) Business Day following BMBC’s receipt of a notice (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from MCBI advising BMBC that the Board of Directors of MCBI has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that it received (that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.10) constitutes a Superior Proposal (it being understood that MCBI shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal in respect of any revised Superior Proposal from such third party or its affiliates that MCBI proposes to accept and the subsequent notice period shall be three (3) Business Days) if, but only if, (a) the Board of Directors of MCBI has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and a financial advisor, that the failure to take such actions would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to MCBI under applicable law, and (b) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period or the three (3) Business Day period (as the case may be), after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms as may have been committed to in writing by BMBC since its receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal (provided, however,
58
that BMBC shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), the Board of Directors of MCBI has again in good faith made the determination (i) in clause (a) of this Section 6.10.5 and (ii) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the changing, qualifying or modifying of the MCBI Recommendation or the making of a MCBI Subsequent Determination by the Board of Directors of MCBI shall not change the approval of the Board of Directors of MCBI for purposes of causing any applicable federal or state anti-takeover laws or regulations to be inapplicable to this Agreement and the MCBI Voting Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Merger.
6.11. Reserves and Merger-Related Costs.
MCBI agrees to consult with BMBC with respect to its loan, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves). BMBC and MCBI shall also consult with respect to the character, amount and timing of restructuring charges to be taken by each of them in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and shall take such charges as BMBC shall reasonably request and which are not inconsistent with GAAP; provided that no such actions need be effected until BMBC shall have irrevocably certified to MCBI that all conditions set forth in Article IX to the obligation of BMBC to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby have been satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived.
6.12. MCBI/MCCB Board of Directors and Committee Meetings.
MCBI and MCCB shall permit representatives of BMBC (but not more than two) to attend any meeting of the Board of Directors of MCBI and/or MCCB or the Executive, Asset-Liability and Loan Committees thereof as an observer; provided that neither MCBI nor MCCB shall be required to permit the BMBC representative to remain present during any confidential discussion of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or any third party proposal to acquire control of MCBI or MCCB or during any other matter that the respective Board of Directors has reasonably determined to be confidential with respect to BMBC’s participation.
6.13. MCBI/MCCB Director and Officer Agreements.

BMBC hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold MCBI and MCCB harmless from and against any cost, expense, charge, lien, action or judgment, as well as any claim of a right to any
59
such cost, expense, charge, lien, action or judgment arising from any action taken by MCBI or MCCB to enforce any of such Employee Non-Solicitation Agreements (including without limitation any attorneys’ fees and expenses).
6.14. Adequately Capitalized Determination.
As of the end of the last full calendar month that precedes the Effective Time by at least fifteen (15) days, (a) MCBI’s and MCCB’s respective regulatory capital ratios shall meet all necessary standards for such entities to be regarded as Adequately Capitalized, and (b) MCBI and MCCB shall provide BMBC with written copies of the calculation of their respective regulatory capital ratios, including without limitation the calculation of their respective tangible common equity ratios, computed in good faith, together with all documentation supporting such calculation and any related information reasonably requested by BMBC.

During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time as necessary, BMBC will cause one or more of its representatives to confer with representatives of MCBI and report the general status of its financial condition, operations and business and matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, at such times as MCBI may reasonably request. BMBC will promptly notify MCBI, to the extent permitted by applicable law, of any governmental complaints, investigations or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated), which might adversely affect the ability of the parties to obtain the Regulatory Approvals or increase the period of time necessary to obtain such approvals; or the institution of material litigation involving BMBC and any BMBC Subsidiary. BMBC shall be reasonably responsive to requests by MCBI for access to such information and personnel regarding BMBC and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably necessary for MCBI to confirm that the representations and warranties of BMBC contained herein are true and correct and that the covenants of BMBC contained herein have been performed in all material respects; provided, however, that BMBC shall not be required to take any action that would provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure, in BMBC’s reasonable judgment, would interfere with the normal conduct of BMBC’s business or would violate or prejudice the rights or business interests or confidences of any customer or other person or would result in the waiver by it of the privilege protecting communications between it and any of its counsel.
61
7.3. Financial and Other Statements.
BMBC will make available to MCBI the Securities Documents filed by it with the SEC under the Securities Laws. BMBC will furnish to MCBI copies of all documents, statements and reports that it or BMT intends to file with any Bank Regulator with respect to the Merger. BMBC will furnish to MCBI copies of all documents, statements and reports that it sends to the shareholders of BMBC.
7.4. Disclosure Supplements.
From time to time prior to the Effective Time as necessary, BMBC will supplement or amend the BMBC Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection herewith with respect to any material matter hereafter arising which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such BMBC Disclosure Schedule or which is necessary to correct any information in such BMBC Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such BMBC Disclosure Schedule shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IX.

7.7. Failure to Fulfill Conditions.
In the event that BMBC determines that a condition to its obligation to complete the Merger cannot be fulfilled and that it will not waive that condition, it will promptly notify MCBI.
7.8. Employee Benefits.
7.8.1. Prior to the Effective Time, BMBC shall take all reasonable action so that employees of MCBI and its Subsidiaries who become employees of BMBC or a BMBC Subsidiary (“Continuing Employees”) shall be entitled to participate, effective as soon as administratively practicable following the Effective Time, in each of the BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plans to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of BMBC and its Subsidiaries (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of MCBI and its Subsidiaries in the BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans and that any grants to any Continuing Employee under any BMBC Stock Plan shall be at the discretion of BMBC). Notwithstanding the foregoing, BMBC may determine to
62
continue any of the employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements of MCBI or any its Subsidiaries for Continuing Employees in lieu of offering participation in the BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plans providing similar benefits (e.g., medical and hospitalization benefits), to terminate any of such benefit plans, or to merge any such benefit plans with the corresponding BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plans, provided the result is the provision of benefits to Continuing Employees that are substantially similar to the benefits provided to the employees of BMBC and its Subsidiaries generally. Should BMBC notify MCBI in advance of the Effective Time that it wishes MCBI or any MCBI Subsidiary to terminate any MCBI Compensation and Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time, MCBI shall take all steps necessary to comply with such request prior to the Effective Time; provided that MCBI shall have no obligation to terminate any such plan unless and until BMBC shall have irrevocably certified to MCBI that all conditions set forth in Article IX to the obligation of BMBC to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby have been satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived. BMBC shall cause each BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plan in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate to recognize, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in, the vesting of benefits and for all other purposes (but not for the accrual of benefits, except as specifically set forth herein) under the BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plans the service of such Continuing Employees with MCBI and its Subsidiaries or any predecessor thereto prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that credit for benefit accrual purposes shall be given for purposes of BMBC vacation and other leave policies or programs and for purposes of the calculation of severance benefits under any severance compensation plan or practice of BMBC and its Subsidiaries as set forth in BMBC Disclosure Schedule 7.8.1. This Agreement shall not be construed to limit the ability of BMBC or BMT to terminate the employment of any employee or to review employee benefits programs from time to time and to make such changes (including terminating any program) as they deem appropriate.
7.8.2. Any employee of MCBI or any MCBI Subsidiary who is not a party to an employment, consulting, change in control or severance agreement or contract providing severance payments and whose employment is terminated on or after the date hereof and at or before the Effective Time or within twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, shall receive severance pay at the time of termination of employment in an amount equal to two (2) weeks of such employee’s regular pay for each year that such employee was employed by MCBI, any MCBI Subsidiary or any successor thereto.
7.8.3. In the event of any termination of any medical, dental, health or disability plan (collectively, “health plans”) of MCBI and its Subsidiaries or the consolidation of any such health plans with a corresponding health plan of BMBC and its Subsidiaries, BMBC shall make available to Continuing Employees and their dependents employer-provided coverage under the corresponding health plans of BMBC and its Subsidiaries on the same basis as it provides coverage to employees of BMBC and its Subsidiaries, provided that BMBC shall cause each such plan to (a) waive any pre-existing condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the applicable health plans of MCBI and its Subsidiaries, (b) honor under such plans any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the employees and their dependents under the health plans of MCBI and its Subsidiaries during the portion of the plan year prior to participation in the corresponding health plan of BMBC and its Subsidiaries, and (c) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement which would otherwise be applicable to the Continuing Employees and their dependents on or after the

The respective “work thru” dates of each such officer or employee and amount and payment date of retention bonus for each such employee or officer shall be determined by BMBC, and the aggregate amount of such retention bonuses shall not exceed $200,000.
7.9. Directors and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.
7.9.1. For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, BMBC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or who has been at any time before the date hereof or who becomes before the Effective Time, an officer or director of MCBI or an MCBI Subsidiary (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of BMBC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, or administrative (each a “Claim”), in which an Indemnified Party is, or is threatened to be made, a party or witness in whole or in part or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of MCBI or an MCBI Subsidiary if such Claim pertains to any matter of fact arising, existing or occurring at or before the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before, or after, the Effective Time, to the fullest extent as would have been permitted by MCBI under the PBCL and under MCBI’s articles of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent governing documents of any MCBI Subsidiary, as applicable, in each case as in effect on the date hereof. BMBC shall pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent as would have been permitted by MCBI under the PBCL and under MCBI’s articles of incorporation upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such advance payments if such Indemnified Party shall be adjudicated or determined to be not entitled to indemnification in the manner set forth below. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.9.1 upon learning of any Claim, shall notify BMBC (but the failure so to notify BMBC shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7.9.1, except to the extent such failure prejudices BMBC) and shall deliver to BMBC the
64
undertaking referred to in the previous sentence. Without limiting the foregoing, in any case in which approval by BMBC, one of its Subsidiaries or the board of directors thereof is required to effect any indemnification, at the election of the Indemnified Party, the determination of any such approval shall be made by a majority of the independent directors then in office or, if no such directors are then in office, by independent counsel mutually agreed upon between BMBC and the Indemnified Party.
7.9.2. In the event that either BMBC or any of its successors or assigns (a) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving bank or entity of such consolidation or merger or (b) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of BMBC shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.9.
7.9.3. BMBC shall maintain, or shall cause BMT to maintain, in effect for six (6) years following the Effective Time, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering the officers and directors of MCBI (provided, that BMBC may substitute therefore policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are not materially less favorable) with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall BMBC be required to expend per year pursuant to this Section 7.9.3 more than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the annual cost currently expended by MCBI with respect to such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”); provided, further, that if the amount of the annual premium necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, BMBC shall maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In connection with the foregoing, MCBI agrees in order for BMBC to fulfill its agreement to provide directors and officers liability insurance policies for six (6) years to provide such insurer or substitute insurer with such reasonable and customary representations as such insurer may request with respect to the reporting of any prior claims.
7.9.4. The obligations of BMBC provided under this Section 7.9 are intended to be enforceable against BMBC directly by the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all respective successors and permitted assigns of BMBC.
7.10. Stock Listing.
Prior to the Effective Time, BMBC will take all steps necessary to list on the Nasdaq (or such other national securities exchange on which the shares of the BMBC Common Stock shall be listed as of the date of consummation of the Merger), subject to official notice of issuance, the shares of BMBC Common Stock to be issued in the Merger.
7.11. Stock and Cash Reserve.
