2. Covenants of Shareholder.

The Shareholder covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) Ownership. The Shareholder is the beneficial and/or registered owner of the Shares as set forth below Shareholder’s name on the signature page hereto. Except for (i) the Shares and (ii) shares of BHRB Common Stock subject to outstanding restricted stock unit awards issued under a BHRB Stock Plan (which shares, if any, are set forth on the signature page hereto), Shareholder is not the beneficial or registered owner of any other shares of BHRB Common Stock or rights to acquire shares of BHRB Common Stock and for which Shareholder has the sole right and power to vote and/or dispose.

(c) Authority. The Shareholder has full power, authority and legal capacity 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.

(d) No Breach. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will result in a violation of, or a default under, or conflict with, any contract, loan and credit arrangements, Liens (as defined in Section 2(e) below), trust, commitment, agreement, understanding, arrangement or restriction of any kind to which Shareholder is a party or bound or to which the Shares are subject.

(e) No Liens. The Shares and the certificates representing the Shares are now, and at all times during the term of this Agreement, will be, held by Shareholder, or by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of Shareholder, free and clear of all pledges, liens, security interests, claims, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, understandings or arrangements or any other encumbrances whatsoever (each, a “Lien”), except for (i) any Liens arising hereunder and (ii) Liens, if any, which have been disclosed to SMMF in an attachment to this Agreement.

(f) Consents and Approvals. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance by Shareholder of his or her obligations under this Agreement and the consummation by him or her of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, require Shareholder to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or to make any filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority.

(g) Absence of Litigation. There is no suit, action, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Shareholder, threatened against or affecting Shareholder or any of his or her affiliates before or by any Governmental Authority that could reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Shareholder to perform his or her obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Other than as provided for herein, following the termination of this Agreement, there shall be no further liabilities or obligations hereunder on the part of Shareholder, SMMF or BHRB, or their respective officers or directors, except that nothing in this Section 7 shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for breach of this Agreement before such termination.

8. Stop Transfer Order.

In furtherance of this Agreement, Shareholder hereby authorizes and instructs BHRB to instruct its transfer agent to enter a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Shares for the period from the date hereof through the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7 hereof.

Each party hereto waives the posting of any bond or security in connection with any proceeding related thereto.

10. Banking Relationships.

Notwithstanding any other terms and provisions of this Agreement, including Section 6, Shareholder further covenants and agrees that (i) from the date hereof and through the Subsidiary Merger Effective Time, he or she will use best efforts to maintain and continue with B&H Bank such banking relationships (e.g., lending, deposit or other accounts, but excluding any relationships related to trust or wealth management accounts or services) (as applicable, “Banking Relationships”) that Shareholder (in his or her individual capacity) currently maintains with BHRB and B&H Bank, in form and substance substantially the same as currently maintained, and (ii) after the Subsidiary Merger and until the one (1) year anniversary of the Subsidiary Merger, he or she will use reasonable best efforts to maintain and continue with the Continuing Corporation and the Continuing Bank such Banking Relationships that Shareholder (in his or her individual capacity) maintained with BHRB and B&H Bank prior to the Subsidiary Merger, but in each instance, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any Banking Relationships maintained by Shareholder in a fiduciary or trustee capacity or any Banking Relationship of any entity that may be affiliated with such Shareholder

11. Amendments.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. A facsimile copy or electronic transmission of the signature page hereto shall be deemed to be an original signature page.

16. Severability.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provisions hereof. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. Further, the parties agree that a court of competent jurisdiction may reform any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable so as to reflect the intended agreement of the parties hereto.
