THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 6, 2014, by and between NATIONAL COMMERCE CORPORATION (“NCC”), a corporation organized and existing under the Laws of the State of Delaware, with its principal office in Birmingham, Alabama; and UNITED GROUP BANKING COMPANY OF FLORIDA, INC. (“United”), a Florida corporation, with its principal office in Longwood, Florida.

Preamble

The respective Boards of Directors of NCC and United have determined that the transactions described herein are in the best interests of the Parties and their respective stockholders. This Agreement provides for the acquisition of United by NCC pursuant to the merger (the “Merger”) of United with and into NCC. At the effective time of the Merger, and except as provided herein, the outstanding shares of the capital stock of United shall be converted into the right to receive shares of common stock of NCC or, at the election of the stockholders of United, into cash (subject to the limitations set forth herein).

The transactions described in or otherwise contemplated by this Agreement are subject to, among other things: (i) the filing by NCC and the effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to the shares of common stock of NCC to be issued to stockholders of United in the Merger; (ii) the approval of the stockholders of NCC and United; (iii) the approval of, notice to and/or waiver of the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC, and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation; and (iv) the satisfaction of certain other conditions described in this Agreement. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that, for federal income tax purposes, the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Certain capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Section 11.1 of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and the mutual warranties, representations, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, United shall be merged with and into NCC in accordance with the provisions of Section 252 of the DGCL and Section 607.1107 of the FBCA. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of United shall cease.

The Merger will be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, which has been approved and adopted by the respective Boards of Directors of NCC and United.

1.2 Time and Place of Closing. The place of the Closing shall be at the offices of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxx, P.C., Birmingham, Alabama, or such other place as may be mutually

Unless NCC and United otherwise mutually agree in writing, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Effective Time to occur on the date of Closing.

1.4 Voting Agreements. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as a material condition hereto, each member of the United Board and certain executive officers of United are entering into Voting Agreements with NCC and Xxxxxxx Investment Group, LLC is entering into a Voting Agreement with United whereby, among other things, such Persons have agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, to vote all of the shares of United Common Stock or NCC Common Stock, as the case may be, owned by them in favor of this Agreement and the Merger and to support actions necessary to consummate the Merger and the Subsidiary Merger.

1.5 Merger of Banking Subsidiaries. Except as provided below, as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, United Legacy Bank (“United Legacy Bank”), a Florida state-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of United, shall be merged (the “Subsidiary Merger”) with and into National Bank of Commerce, a national banking association and wholly owned subsidiary of NCC (“NBC”), in accordance with the provisions of applicable federal and state banking laws and regulations, and NBC shall be the surviving bank (the “Surviving Bank”). The Subsidiary Merger shall have the effects as set forth under applicable federal and state banking laws and regulations, and the Parties shall cause the Boards of Directors of United Legacy Bank and NBC, respectively, to approve a separate merger agreement (the “Subsidiary Merger Agreement”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and cause the Subsidiary Merger Agreement to be executed and delivered as soon as practicable following the date of execution of this Agreement. NCC shall cause NBC to take any and all steps required under its Articles of Association and/or Bylaws to increase the size of the NBC board of directors as of the Effective Time and to appoint the United Legacy Bank Designee, effective as of the Effective Time, to fill such vacancy. Thereafter, NCC agrees to cause NBC or the Surviving Bank, as the case may be, to include the United Legacy Bank Designee in its recommended slate of nominees for election as a director at each of its first and

second annual meetings of stockholders following the Effective Time, and NCC (in its capacity as a stockholder) agrees to vote in favor of the United Legacy Bank Designee at each of such annual meetings. Nothing in this Section 1.5 shall require NCC or NBC to elect, vote in favor of, appoint, nominate or recommend the United Legacy Bank Designee for election to the board of directors of NBC or the Surviving Bank, as the case may be, if he or she shall become the subject of a Disqualification.

The Certificate of Incorporation of NCC in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, until amended in accordance with applicable Law. The Bylaws of NCC in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, until amended in accordance with applicable Law.

2.2 Officers and Directors.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all rights, franchises and interests of United and NCC in and to every type of property (real, personal and mixed) and choses in action shall be transferred to and vested in the Surviving Corporation by virtue of the Merger without any deed

or other transfer. The Surviving Corporation shall hold and enjoy all rights of property, franchises and interests, including appointments, designations and nominations, and all other rights and interests as trustee, executor, administrator, registrar of stocks and bonds, guardian of estates, assignee and receiver, and in every other fiduciary capacity, in the same manner and to the same extent as such rights, franchises, and interests were held or enjoyed by United and NCC at the Effective Time. All Liabilities and obligations of United and NCC shall be deemed to have been assumed by the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall be bound thereby in the same manner and to the same extent as each of United and NCC was so bound at the Effective Time.

ARTICLE 3

CONVERSION OF CONSTITUENTS’ CAPITAL STOCK

3.1 Manner of Converting Shares. Subject to the provisions of this Article 3, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of NCC, United or the holders of any shares of capital stock thereof, the shares of capital stock and rights and options to acquire shares of capital stock of the constituent corporations shall be converted as follows:

(a) NCC Capital Stock. Each share of capital stock of NCC issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be an issued and outstanding share of the capital stock of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time.

(b) Exchange Ratio for United Common Stock. Each share of United Common Stock (excluding (i) shares held by any United Company, other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, (ii) Cash Election Shares described in Section 3.1(c) of this Agreement and (iii) shares held by stockholders who perfect their dissenters’ rights of appraisal as provided in Section 3.4 of this Agreement) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive 0.057794 shares of NCC Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”).

(1) Holders of United Common Stock shall be provided with an opportunity to elect to receive cash consideration in lieu of receiving NCC Common Stock in the Merger, in accordance with the election procedures set forth below. Holders who elect to receive cash in lieu of exchanging their shares of United Common Stock for NCC Common Stock as specified below shall receive $1.30, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) for each share of United Common Stock that is so converted (each, a “Cash Election Share”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares shall not exceed 2,268,851 (the “Share Limitation”), and the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration shall not exceed $2,949,506.30 (the “Cash Limitation”).

(2) At NCC’s election, either the Exchange Agent or NCC’s transfer agent shall mail an election form in such form as NCC and United shall mutually agree (the “Election Form”) with or following the issuance of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, to each holder of record of United Common Stock. Each Election Form shall permit a holder (or the beneficial

owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) of United Common Stock to elect to receive cash with respect to all or a portion of such holder’s United Common Stock.

(3) Any shares of United Common Stock with respect to which the holder shall not have submitted to the Exchange Agent an effective, properly completed Election Form prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the day before the United Stockholders’ Meeting (or such other time and date as NCC and United may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”), and any shares of United Common Stock with respect to which the holder shall have submitted an Election Form prior to the Election Deadline but with respect to which such holder shall have elected not to receive cash, shall be converted into NCC Common Stock at the Effective Time, as set forth in Section 3.1(b) of this Agreement (all such shares described in this sub-section (3) being referred to as “Stock Election Shares”).

(4) Any Election Form may be revoked or amended by the Person submitting such Election Form at or prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked and a replacement Election Form therefor is not submitted prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of United Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become Stock Election Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither NCC nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form.

(5) Within five (5) Business Days after the Election Deadline, unless the Effective Time has not yet occurred, in which case as soon thereafter as practicable, the allocation among the holders of United Common Stock in accordance with the Election Forms shall be effected by the Exchange Agent as follows:

(A) Cash Elections Less than or Equal to the Cash Limitation. If the aggregate amount of cash that would be paid upon conversion in the Merger of the Cash Election Shares (the “Potential Cash Payments”) is less than or equal to the Cash Limitation, then:

(1) each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(1); and

(2) each Stock Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive NCC Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(b).

(B) Cash Elections More Than the Cash Limitation. If the amount of the Potential Cash Payments is greater than the Cash Limitation, then:

(1) the number of Cash Election Shares designated by each holder of United Common Stock who properly submitted an Election Form shall be automatically reduced to that number of shares equal to the product of (A) the number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares designated in the Election Form and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Share Limitation, and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares designated in all Election Forms;

(2) each Cash Election Share remaining after adjustment pursuant to subsection (1) above shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(1);

(3) each share of United Common Stock that would have been a Cash Election Share but for the adjustment pursuant to subsection (1) above shall automatically be deemed to be a Stock Election Share; and

(4) each Stock Election Share, including those so designated pursuant to subsection (3) above, shall be converted into the right to receive NCC Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(b).

(d) United Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase shares of United Common Stock pursuant to the United Stock Option Plan (each, a “United Option”) will cease to represent an option to purchase United Common Stock and will be converted automatically into an option to purchase NCC Common Stock (each, an “NCC Option”), and NCC will assume each United Option subject to its terms, including any acceleration in vesting that will occur as a consequence of the Merger according to the instruments governing such United Option; provided, however, that after the Effective Time:

(1) the number of shares of NCC Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of each United Option will equal the product of (A) the number of shares of United Common Stock that were purchasable under the United Option immediately before the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest whole share;

(2) the per share exercise price for each United Option will equal the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price of the United Option in effect immediately before the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded to the nearest cent; and

(3) where the context so requires, all references to United shall be deemed to be references to NCC and its Subsidiaries, and all references to the United Board (or the Compensation Committee thereof) shall be deemed to be references to the NCC Board (or the Compensation Committee thereof).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each United Option that is intended to be an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the IRC) will be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Section 424 of the IRC. As of the date hereof, the United Options provide for the purchase of no more than an aggregate of 1,775,000 additional shares of United Common Stock. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, NCC shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate forms) with the SEC, with respect to the shares of NCC Common Stock subject to converted or substitute United Options and shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses associated therewith) for so long as such converted or substitute United Options remain outstanding.

(e) Maximum Shares of NCC Common Stock. Assuming that (i) there are no United Dissenting Shares, (ii) there is no adjustment to the Exchange Ratio pursuant to Section 3.2 below, (iii), there are no Cash Election Shares, and (iv) the holders of United Options exercise all of the United Options and/or all of the NCC Options, as the case may be (and do so by paying the exercise price in cash), the holders of United Common Stock and holders of United Options shall have the right to receive, in the aggregate, a maximum of 1,850,944 shares of NCC Common Stock as a result of the Merger.

3.2 Anti-Dilution Provisions. If NCC changes the number of shares of NCC Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or similar recapitalization with respect to such stock and the record date therefor is prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted as needed to preserve the relative economic benefit to the Parties provided for in Section 3.1(b).

3.3 Shares Held by United. Each share of United Common Stock held by any United Company, other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, shall be canceled and retired at the Effective Time and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor.

3.4 United Dissenting Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of United Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a holder who (a) did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing), (b) is entitled to demand and properly demands and perfects such holder’s right to appraisal and to be paid the fair value of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Sections 607.1302 et seq. of the FBCA and (c) has not effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost or forfeited such holder’s right to appraisal and payment under the FBCA (such shares, the “United Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or exchanged for Stock Election Shares or Cash Election Shares (or the right to receive such consideration), but instead the holder of such United Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to payment of the fair value thereof in accordance with the provisions of Sections 607.1302 et seq. of the FBCA. At the Effective Time, such United Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist or be outstanding, and the holder thereof shall cease to have any right with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such United Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 607.1302 et seq. of the FBCA. If any such holder of shares of United Common Stock shall have failed to perfect such holder’s right to receive, or shall have effectively waived, withdrawn, lost or forfeited any right to demand or receive, the fair value of such shares of United Common Stock under such provisions of the FBCA, then such holder’s shares of United Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed and treated as if they had, at the Effective Time, been converted into the right to receive Stock Election Shares in accordance with Section 3.1(b). United shall give NCC (i) prompt notice of any written notices of any holder’s intent to demand payment or exercise appraisal rights in respect of any shares of United Common Stock, withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such notices and any other notices or instruments served pursuant to the FBCA and received by United relating to any attempted, purported or actual exercise of appraisal rights and (ii) the opportunity to participate in, direct and control all discussions,

negotiations and proceedings with respect to the exercise of such appraisal rights under Section 607.1302 et seq. of the FBCA. Neither United nor the Surviving Corporation shall, except with the prior written consent of NCC, make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer or agree to settle, any payment with respect to any such exercise of appraisal rights or demand for payment in connection therewith.

3.5 NCC Dissenting Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of NCC Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a holder who (a) did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing), (b) is entitled to demand and properly demands and perfects such holder’s right to appraisal and to be paid the fair value of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL and (c) has not effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost or forfeited such holder’s right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL (such shares, the “NCC Dissenting Shares”), shall not continue to be an issued and outstanding share of the capital stock of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time, but instead the holder of such NCC Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to payment of the fair value thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL. At the Effective Time, such NCC Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist or be outstanding, and the holder thereof shall cease to have any right with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such NCC Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder of shares of NCC Common Stock shall have failed to perfect such holder’s right to receive, or shall have effectively waived, withdrawn, lost or forfeited any right to demand or receive, the fair value of such shares of NCC Common Stock under such provisions of the DGCL, then such holder’s shares of NCC Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed and treated as if they had, at the Effective Time, continued to be an issued and outstanding share of the capital stock of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Section 3.1(a).

3.6 Fractional Shares. Fractional shares of NCC Common Stock shall not be issued upon the surrender of certificates representing United Common Stock for exchange; no dividend or distribution with respect to NCC 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 stockholder of NCC. In lieu of any such fractional share, NCC shall pay to each former stockholder of United who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of NCC Common Stock an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (i) $22.68 multiplied by (ii) the fraction of a share of NCC Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled.

ARTICLE 4

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

4.1 Exchange Procedures. Promptly (and within five (5) Business Days) after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the former stockholders of United appropriate transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing shares of United Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange

Agent). After completion of the allocation procedure set forth in Section 3.1(c)(5) and upon surrender of a certificate or certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent (such shares to be free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances), together with a properly executed letter of transmittal, the holder of such certificate or certificates shall be entitled to receive promptly thereafter in exchange therefor: (a) that number of whole shares of NCC Common Stock which such holder of United Common Stock became entitled to receive pursuant to Article 3 hereof and (b) a check representing the aggregate cash consideration, if any, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 hereof, and the certificate or certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The shares of NCC Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Article 3 and this Section 4.1 shall be in uncertificated book entry form, and upon compliance by a former holder of shares of United Common Stock with the provisions hereof and of the letter of transmittal, NCC shall instruct its registrar and transfer agent to make appropriate book entries with respect to such shares of NCC Common Stock. Such book entries of the issuance of uncertificated shares shall constitute delivery thereof for all purposes pursuant to this Agreement. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Per Share Cash Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares, or any unpaid dividends and distributions, if any, payable to holders of certificates for United Common Stock. The Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to deliver the consideration to which any former holder of United Common Stock is entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the certificate or certificates representing the shares of United Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Section 4.1. The certificate or certificates for United Common Stock so surrendered shall be duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may require. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, neither the Surviving Corporation, NCC nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to a holder of United Common Stock for any amounts paid or property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property Law.

4.2 Rights of Former United Stockholders. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of United shall be closed as to holders of United Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, and no transfer of United Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement, each certificate theretofore representing shares of United Common Stock (“United Certificate”), other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Agreement or as to which dissenter’s rights of appraisal have been perfected as provided in Section 3.4 of this Agreement, shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the consideration provided in Section 3.1 of this Agreement in exchange therefor. To the extent permitted by Law, former stockholders of record of United Common Stock shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time at any meeting of NCC stockholders the number of whole shares of NCC Common Stock into which their respective shares of United Common Stock (excluding Cash Election Shares) have been converted, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged their United Certificates for certificates representing NCC Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by NCC on the NCC Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, the declaration shall include dividends or other distributions on all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any Person holding any United Certificate at or after six (6) months after the Effective Time (the “Cutoff”) shall not be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution payable after the Cutoff to holders of NCC Common Stock, which dividend

or other distribution is attributable to such Person’s NCC Common Stock represented by said United Certificate held after the Cutoff, until such Person surrenders such United Certificate for exchange as provided in Section 4.1 of this Agreement. However, upon surrender of such United Certificate, appropriate book entries shall be made with respect to the NCC Common Stock and all such undelivered dividends or other distributions (without interest) and any undelivered cash payments (without interest) shall be delivered and paid with respect to each share represented by such United Certificate. No holder of shares of United Common Stock shall be entitled to receive any dividends or distributions declared or made with respect to the NCC Common Stock with a record date before the Effective Time.

4.3 Identity of Recipient of NCC Common Stock. In the event that the delivery of the consideration provided for in this Agreement is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any certificate representing shares of United Common Stock surrendered is registered, such certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer), with the signature(s) appropriately guaranteed, and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such delivery shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the delivery to a Person other than the registered holder of such certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of NCC that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

4.4 Lost or Stolen Certificates. If any holder of United Common Stock convertible into the right to receive shares of NCC Common Stock or cash is unable to deliver the United Certificate that represents United Common Stock, NCC shall instruct its registrar and transfer agent, in the absence of actual notice that any such shares have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, to make appropriate book entries with respect to such holder for the shares of NCC Common Stock to which the holder is entitled for such shares upon presentation of the following: (a) evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of NCC that any such United Certificate has been lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed; (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably requested by NCC to indemnify and hold NCC and the Exchange Agent harmless; and (c) evidence satisfactory to NCC that such Person is the owner of the shares theretofore represented by each United Certificate claimed by the holder to be lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed and that the holder is the Person who would be entitled to present such United Certificate for exchange pursuant to this Agreement.

4.5 Laws of Escheat. If any of the consideration due or other payments to be paid or delivered to the holders of United Common Stock is not paid or delivered within the time period specified by any applicable Laws concerning abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, and if such failure to pay or deliver such consideration occurs or arises out of the fact that such property is not claimed by the proper owner thereof, NCC or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled (but not required) to dispose of any such consideration or other payments in accordance with applicable Laws concerning abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, none of NCC, United, the Exchange Agent nor any other Person acting on their behalf shall be liable to a holder of United Common Stock for any amount paid or property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

United also has delivered or made available to NCC prior to the execution of this Agreement correct and complete copies of (where applicable): (i) all summary plan descriptions, summaries of material modifications, and amendments related to such United Benefit Plans; (ii) the most recent determination or opinion letters, as applicable, received from the Internal Revenue Service; (iii) the three most recent Form 5500 Annual Reports; (iv) the three most recent audited financial statements and actuarial valuations; (v) all material related agreements, insurance contracts and other documents which implement or impact each such United Benefit Plan; and (vi) any notices to or from the Internal Revenue Service, any office or representative of the Department of Labor or any other governmental entity relating to any compliance issues in respect of any United Benefit Plan. Any of the United Benefit Plans which is an “employee pension benefit plan,” as that term is defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, is referred to herein as a “United ERISA Plan.” No United Benefit Plan is or has been a “defined benefit plan” (as defined in Section 414(j) of the IRC) or a “multi-employer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA).

(b) All United Benefit Plans and the administration thereof are in, and have since March 1, 2010 (and, to the Knowledge of each United Company, prior to March 1, 2010), been in, compliance with the applicable terms of ERISA, the IRC and any other applicable Laws, the breach or violation of which is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on United. Each United ERISA Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC and each corresponding trust exempt under Section 501(a) of the IRC has received a favorable determination letter or may rely upon an opinion letter issued to the sponsor of a prototype or volume submitter arrangement, as applicable, from the Internal Revenue Service, and United is not aware of any circumstances that could result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter/opinion letter. No transaction has been entered into with respect to any United Benefit Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date hereof, would subject any United Company to a tax or penalty imposed by either Section 4975 of the IRC or Section 502(i) of ERISA in amounts which are reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on United. There are no actions, suits, arbitrations or claims, including any investigations or audits by the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority, pending (other than routine claims for benefits) or threatened against, any United Benefit Plan, any United Company or ERISA Affiliate with regard to any United Benefit Plan, any trust which is a part of any United Benefit Plan, any trustee, fiduciary, custodian, administrator or other person or entity holding or controlling assets of any United Benefit Plan, and no basis to anticipate any such action, suit, arbitration, claim, investigation or audit exists.

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.14(c), neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions provided for herein will (i) result in any payment (including, without limitation, severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute or otherwise) becoming due to any director, officer or employee of any United Company from any United Company under any United Benefit Plan, employment contract or otherwise, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any United Benefit Plan, or (iii) result in any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefit.

(d) With respect to all United Benefit Plans (whether or not subject to ERISA and whether or not qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC), all contributions due (including any contributions to any trust account or payments due under any insurance policy) previously declared or otherwise required by Law or contract to have been made and any employer contributions (including any contributions to any trust account or payments due under any insurance policy) accrued but unpaid as of the date hereof will be paid by the time required by Law or contract. Since March 1, 2010, and, to the Knowledge of each United Company, prior to March 1, 2010, all contributions required to be made under any United Benefit Plan have been made by the applicable due date and such contributions meet the requirements for deductibility under the IRC, and all contributions which are required and which have not been made have been properly recorded on the books of United.

(e) Each contract, arrangement, plan, or United Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined for purposes of Section 409A(d)(1) of the IRC) has been maintained and is, in form and operation, in compliance with Section 409A of the IRC and the applicable guidance issued thereunder. No amounts under any such contract, arrangement, plan, or such United Benefit Plan are or have been subject to the interest or additional tax set

forth under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the IRC. No United Company or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to gross-up or indemnify any Person with respect to any Taxes imposed under Section 409A of the IRC.

(f) (i) Since March 1, 2010, and, to the Knowledge of each United Company, prior to March 1, 2010, each United Benefit Plan that is a “group health plan” (within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the IRC) has been operated in compliance in all material respects with all Laws applicable to such plan, its terms, and with the group health plan continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the IRC and Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA (“COBRA Coverage”), Section 4980D of the IRC and Sections 701 through 707 of ERISA, Title XXII of the Public Health Service Act and the provisions of the Social Security Act, to the extent such requirements are applicable. No United Benefit Plan or written or oral agreement exists which obligates the United Companies or any ERISA Affiliate to provide health care coverage, medical, surgical, hospitalization, death or similar benefits (whether or not insured) to any employee, former employee or member of the United Board or any ERISA Affiliate following such employee’s, former employee’s or director’s termination of employment, including, but not limited to, retiree medical, health or life benefits, other than as required under COBRA Coverage or other similar applicable Law.

(ii) No United Benefit Plan, excluding any short-term disability, non-qualified deferred compensation or health flexible spending account plan or program, is self-funded, self-insured or funded through the general assets of an United Company or an ERISA Affiliate. No United Benefit Plan which is an employee welfare benefit plan under Section 3(1) of ERISA is funded by a trust or is subject to Section 419 or 419A of the IRC.

5.15 Material Contracts. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.15, none of the United Companies, nor any of their respective Assets, businesses or operations, is a party to, or is bound or affected by, or receives benefits under any of the following (whether written or oral, express or implied): (i) any employment, severance, termination, consulting or retirement Contract with any Person; (ii) any Contract relating to the borrowing of money by any United Company or the guarantee by any United Company of any such obligation (other than Contracts evidencing deposit Liabilities, purchases of federal funds, fully-secured repurchase agreements, trade payables and Contracts relating to borrowings or guarantees made and letters of credit); (iii) any Contract relating to indemnification or defense of any director, officer or employee of any of the United Companies or any other Person; (iv) any Contract with any labor union; (v) any Contract relating to the disposition or acquisition of any interest in any business enterprise; (vi) any Contract relating to the extension of credit to, provision of services for, sale, lease or license of Assets to, engagement of services from, or purchase, lease or license of Assets from, any 5% stockholder, director or officer of any of the United Companies, any member of the immediate family of the foregoing or, to the Knowledge of each United Company, any related interest (as defined in Regulation O promulgated by the FRB) (“Related Interest”) of any of the foregoing; (vii) any Contract (A) which limits the freedom of any of the United Companies to compete in any line of business or with any Person or (B) which limits the freedom of any other Person to compete in any line of business with any United Company; (viii) any Contract providing a power of attorney or similar authorization given by any of the United Companies, except as issued in the ordinary course of business with respect to routine matters; or (ix) any Contract (other than deposit agreements and certificates of deposits issued to customers entered into in the ordinary

course of business and letters of credit) that involves the payment by any of the United Companies of amounts aggregating $50,000 or more in any twelve-month period (together with all Contracts referred to in Sections 5.10 and 5.14(a) of this Agreement, the “United Contracts”). United has delivered or made available to NCC correct and complete copies of all United Contracts.

All of the indebtedness of any United Company for money borrowed is prepayable at any time by such United Company without penalty or premium.

5.16 Legal Proceedings. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.16, there is no Litigation instituted or pending, or, to the Knowledge of each United Company, threatened (or unasserted but considered probable of assertion) against any United Company, or against any Asset, interest, or right of any of them, other than any immaterial, ordinary routine Litigation incidental to the business of United and its Subsidiaries, nor are there any Orders of any Regulatory Authorities, other governmental authorities or arbitrators outstanding, pending or, to the Knowledge of each United Company, threatened against any United Company. No United Company has any Knowledge of any fact or condition presently existing that might give rise to any Order, Litigation, investigation or proceeding which, if determined adversely to any United Company, would have a Material Adverse Effect on such United Company or would materially restrict the right of any United Company to carry on its businesses as presently conducted.

5.17 Reports. Since March 1, 2010, each United Company has timely filed all reports, registration statements, statements and other documents, together with any amendments required to be made with respect thereto, that it was required to file with (i) the SEC, (ii) other Regulatory Authorities, and (iii) any applicable state securities or banking authorities and all other material reports and statements required to be filed by it, and has paid all fees and assessments due and payable in connection therewith. Except for normal examinations conducted by Regulatory Authorities in the ordinary course of the business of the United Companies, to the Knowledge of any United Company, no Regulatory Authority has initiated any proceeding or, to the Knowledge of any United Company, investigation into the business or operations of any United Company.

5.19 Accounting, Tax and Regulatory Matters. No United Company or any Affiliate thereof has taken any action or has any Knowledge of any fact or circumstance that is reasonably likely to (i) prevent the transactions provided for herein, including the Merger, from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC, or (ii) materially impede or delay receipt of any Consents of Regulatory Authorities referred to in Section 9.1(b) of this Agreement or result in the imposition of a condition or restriction of the type referred to in the last sentence of such Section 9.1(b).

6.8 Loan Portfolio; Compliance.

(a) The documentation relating to each Loan made by any NCC Company and to all security interests, mortgages and other liens with respect to all collateral for Loans is adequate for the enforcement of the material terms of such Loan, security interest, mortgage or other lien, except for inadequacies in such documentation which will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on NCC. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.8(a), no agreement pursuant to which any Loans or other assets have been or shall be sold by any NCC Companies entitles the buyer of such Loans or other assets to cause the NCC Companies to repurchase such Loan or other asset or the buyer to pursue any other form of recourse against the NCC

(b) All Loans made by any NCC Company since October 31, 2010, and, to the Knowledge of each NCC Company, all such Loans made prior to October 31, 2010, have been made in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws at the time of such Loan or any renewal thereof, including Regulation Z, the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, and all Laws governing the operation of national banking associations. Each NCC Company has systems, policies and procedures in place such that any material violation of any of the foregoing would reasonably be expected to have been detected by such NCC Company. Each Loan on the books of any NCC Company was made in the ordinary course of its business.

(i) All of the Loans held by any of the NCC Companies are in all respects the binding obligations of the respective obligors named therein in accordance with their respective terms, are not subject to any defenses, setoffs or counterclaims, except as may be provided by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws or by general principles of equity. All Loans made by any of the NCC Companies since October 31, 2010, and, to the Knowledge of each NCC Company, all such Loans made prior to October 31, 2010, were solicited, originated and exist in material compliance with all applicable Laws and NCC loan policies, except for deviations from such policies that (A) have been approved by current management of NCC, in the case of Loans with an outstanding principal balance that exceeds $75,000, or (B) in the judgment of NCC, will not adversely affect the ultimate collectability of such Loan.

(ii) Except as set forth on Schedule 6.8(c)(ii), none of the NCC Companies holds any Classified Loans in the original principal amount in excess of $75,000 per Loan or $150,000 in the aggregate.

NCC has calculated the NCC Allowance in accordance with RAP as applied to banking institutions and in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations. The reserve for losses with respect to other real estate owned (“NCC OREO Reserve”) shown on the most recent NCC Financial Statements and NCC Call Reports were, and the NCC OREO Reserve to be shown on the NCC Financial Statements and NCC Call Reports as of any date subsequent to the execution of this Agreement will be, as of such dates, adequate to provide for losses relating to the other real

estate owned portfolio of NCC as of the dates thereof. The reserve for losses in respect of Litigation (“NCC Litigation Reserve”) shown on the most recent NCC Financial Statements and NCC Call Reports and the NCC Litigation Reserve to be shown on the NCC Financial Statements and NCC Call Reports as of any date subsequent to the execution of this Agreement will be, as of such dates, adequate to provide for losses relating to or arising out of all pending or threatened Litigation applicable to NCC and the NCC Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof. Each such reserve described above has been established in accordance with applicable accounting principles and regulatory requirements and guidelines.

6.9 Compliance with Laws. NCC is duly registered as a bank holding company under the BHC Act. Each NCC Company has in effect all Permits necessary for it to own, lease or operate its Assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, except for those Permits the absence of which are not reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on NCC, and there has occurred no material Default under any such Permit. Each of the NCC Companies:

(a) is and since October 31, 2010 (and, to the Knowledge of each NCC Company, prior to October 31, 2010), has been in compliance in all material respects with all Laws, Orders or Permits applicable to its business or employees conducting its business; and

(b) since October 31, 2010, and, to the Knowledge of each NCC Company, prior to October 31, 2010, has received no notification or communication from any agency or department of federal, state or local government or any Regulatory Authority or the staff thereof (i) asserting that any NCC Company is not in compliance with any of the Laws or Orders that such governmental authority or Regulatory Authority enforces, (ii) threatening to revoke any Permits, (iii) requiring any NCC Company to enter into or consent to the issuance of a cease and desist order, formal agreement, directive, commitment or memorandum of understanding, or to adopt any board resolution or similar undertaking, or (iv) directing, restricting or limiting, or purporting to direct, restrict or limit in any manner the operations of any NCC Company, including without limitation any restrictions on the payment of dividends, or that in any manner relates to such entity’s capital adequacy, credit or reserve policies or management or business.

Without limiting the foregoing, each NCC Company is and since October 31, 2010 (and, to the Knowledge of each NCC Company, prior to October 31, 2010), has been in compliance in all material respects with the Bank Secrecy Act (12 U.S.C. §§ 1730(d) and 1829(b)), the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act, otherwise known as the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, and all regulations issued thereunder, and each NCC Company has properly certified all foreign deposit accounts and has made all necessary tax withholdings on all of its deposit accounts. Each NCC Company has timely and properly filed and maintained all requisite Currency Transaction Reports and other related forms, including any requisite custom reports required by any agency of the United States Treasury Department, including the Internal Revenue Service. No NCC Company nor, to the Knowledge of any NCC Company, any director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate or Person acting on behalf of any NCC Company is currently subject to any sanctions administered by OFAC. No NCC Company or any of its Affiliates does business with the government of, or any Person located in, any country, or with any other Person, targeted by any of the economic sanctions of OFAC or

any other Regulatory Authority. No NCC Company is controlled (within the meaning of Laws administered by OFAC) by any such government or Person. Each NCC Company has timely filed all Suspicious Activity Reports with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (U.S. Department of the Treasury) required to be filed by it under applicable Law. Each NCC Company has systems, policies and procedures in place such that any material violation of any of the foregoing would reasonably be expected to have been detected by such NCC Company.

6.11 Legal Proceedings. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.9, there is no Litigation instituted or pending, or, to the Knowledge of each NCC Company, threatened (or unasserted but considered probable of assertion) against any NCC Company, or against any Asset, interest, or right of any of them, other than any immaterial, ordinary routine Litigation incidental to the business of NCC and its Subsidiaries, nor are there any Orders of any Regulatory Authorities, other governmental authorities or arbitrators outstanding, pending or, to the Knowledge of each NCC Company, threatened against any NCC Company. No NCC Company has any Knowledge of any fact or condition presently existing that might give rise to any Order, Litigation, investigation or proceeding which, if determined adversely to any NCC Company, would have a Material Adverse Effect on such NCC Company or would materially restrict the right of any NCC Company to carry on its businesses as presently conducted.

6.12 Statements True and Correct. Neither this Agreement nor any statement, certificate, instrument or other writing furnished or to be furnished by any NCC Company or any Affiliate thereof to United pursuant to this Agreement, including the Exhibits or Schedules hereto, contains or will contain any untrue statement of material fact or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by any NCC Company or any Affiliate thereof for inclusion in (i) the documents to be filed with the SEC, including without limitation the S-4 Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to United’s stockholders in connection with the United Stockholders’ Meeting and (ii) the NCC Proxy Statement to be mailed to NCC’s stockholders in connection with the NCC Stockholders’ Meeting and (iii) any other documents to be filed by an NCC Company or any Affiliate thereof with the SEC or any other Regulatory Authority in connection with the transactions provided for herein, will, at the respective time such documents are filed, and with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, when first mailed to the stockholders of United, or with respect to the NCC Proxy Statement, when first mailed to the stockholders of NCC, be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All documents that any NCC Company or any Affiliate thereof is responsible for filing with any Regulatory Authority in connection with the transactions provided for herein will comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of applicable Law.

6.13 Tax and Regulatory Matters. No NCC Company or any Affiliate thereof has taken any action or has any Knowledge of any fact or circumstance that is reasonably likely to (i)

prevent the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC, or (ii) materially impede or delay receipt of any Consents of Regulatory Authorities referred to in Section 9.1(b) of this Agreement or result in the imposition of a condition or restriction of the type referred to in the last sentence of such Section.

6.14 1934 Act Compliance. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the NCC Proxy Statement will comply in all material respects with applicable provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; provided, however, that NCC makes no representation or warranty with respect to any information provided by or on behalf of any United Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the NCC Proxy Statement.

NCC has retained the NCC Financial Advisor to serve as its financial advisor and, as of the Effective Time, shall incur a Liability to the NCC Financial Advisor in the amount set forth on Schedule 6.15 (the “NCC Advisory Fee”) in connection with the Merger. Other than the NCC Financial Advisor and the NCC Advisory Fee, neither NCC nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective officers or directors has employed any broker or finder or incurred any Liability for any broker’s fees, commissions or finder’s fees in connection with any of the transactions provided for in this Agreement.

6.16 Regulatory Approvals. NCC knows of no reason why all requisite regulatory approvals regarding the Merger should not or cannot be obtained.

6.18 Absence of Certain Business Practices. Since October 31, 2010, and, to the Knowledge of each NCC Company, prior to October 31, 2010, no NCC Company or, to the Knowledge of any NCC Company, any officer, employee or agent of any NCC Company, or any other Person acting on their behalf, has, directly or indirectly, given or agreed to give any gift or similar benefit to any customer, supplier, governmental employee or other Person who is or may be in a position to help or hinder the business of any NCC Company (or assist any NCC Company in connection with any actual or proposed transaction) that (a) might subject NCC to any damage or penalty in any civil, criminal or governmental Litigation or proceeding, (b) if not given in the past, might have resulted in a Material Adverse Effect on NCC or (c) if not continued in the future might result in a Material Adverse Effect on NCC or might subject NCC to suit or penalty in any private or governmental Litigation or proceeding.

6.19 Accounting Controls. Each of the NCC Companies maintains accurate books and records reflecting its assets and Liabilities and maintains proper and adequate internal accounting controls that provide assurance that (i) transactions are executed with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the NCC Financial Statements and NCC Call Reports in accordance with GAAP and RAP, and to maintain asset and Liability accountability; (iii) access to each NCC Company’s assets and incurrence of each NCC Company’s Liabilities are permitted only in accordance with management’s specific or general authorizations; (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and Liabilities is compared with the existing assets and Liabilities at reasonable intervals and

appropriate action is taken with respect to any difference; and (v) extensions of credit and other receivables are recorded accurately, and proper and adequate procedures are implemented to effect the collection thereof on a current and timely basis. None of NCC’s systems, controls, data or information are recorded, stored, maintained, operated or otherwise wholly or partly dependent on or held by any means (including any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) which (including all means of access thereto and therefrom) are not under the exclusive ownership and direct control of the NCC Companies or their accountants, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on NCC. No NCC Company has been advised of any material deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect its ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data, or any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management. No material weakness in internal controls has been identified by NCC’s auditors, and there have been no significant changes in internal controls that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect internal controls.

(a) At the election of NCC, United will procure and deliver, at NCC’s expense, with respect to each parcel of real property that any of the United Companies owns, leases, subleases or is obligated to purchase, at least thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, whatever environmental audits as NCC may request, which audits shall be reasonably acceptable to and shall be conducted by a firm reasonably acceptable to NCC.

expense, will procure and deliver to NCC at least thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, a survey of such real property, which survey shall be reasonably acceptable to and shall be prepared by a licensed surveyor reasonably acceptable to NCC, disclosing the locations of all improvements, easements, sidewalks, roadways, utility lines and other matters customarily shown on such surveys and showing access affirmatively to public streets and roads and providing the legal description of the property in a form suitable for recording and insuring the title thereof.

8.16 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) For a period of three (3) years after the Effective Time, NCC shall indemnify each director and officer of United (an “Indemnified Party”) against all Liabilities arising out of actions or omissions occurring upon or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the extent permitted under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of United as in effect on the date of this Agreement, subject to (i) the limitations and requirements of such articles of incorporation and bylaws, and (ii) applicable Law, including, without limitation, Section 607.0850 of the FBCA. During the period beginning on the third anniversary of the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, NCC shall indemnify each Indemnified Party against all Liabilities arising out of actions or omissions occurring upon or prior to the Effective Time (including without limitation

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the extent mandated under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the United as in effect on the date of this Agreement, subject to (i) the limitations and requirements of such articles of incorporation and bylaws, and (ii) applicable Law, including, without limitation, Section 607.0850 of the FBCA.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 8.16(a) above upon learning of any such Liability or Litigation, shall promptly notify NCC thereof; provided that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligation of NCC under this Section 8.16 unless, and only to the extent that, NCC is actually and materially prejudice in the defense of such claim as a consequence. In the event of any claim or Litigation that may give rise to indemnity obligations on the part of NCC (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) NCC shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, and NCC shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that if NCC elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Party advises that there are substantive issues which raise conflicts of interest between NCC and the Indemnified Party under the rules of professional ethics, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel satisfactory to him or her, and NCC shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Party; provided, that NCC shall be obligated to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction; (ii) all Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such Litigation; and (iii) NCC shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent; and provided further, that NCC shall not have any obligation hereunder to the extent such arrangements are prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) For a period of five (5) years following the Effective Time, NCC will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide director’s and officer’s liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of United or its Subsidiaries (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from facts or events 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 Party, as the coverage currently provided by United as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) if NCC is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 8.16(c), then NCC will provide as much comparable insurance as is reasonably available, (ii) officers and directors of United 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, and (iii) in satisfaction of its obligations under this Section 8.16(c), NCC may require United to purchase, prior to but effective as of the Effective Time, tail insurance providing such coverage prior to Closing. Whether or not NCC or United shall procure such coverage, in no event shall United expend, or NCC be required to expend, for such tail insurance a premium amount in excess of $155,000 (the “Maximum D&O Tail Premium”). If the cost of such tail insurance exceeds the Maximum D&O Tail Premium, then United or NCC, as applicable, shall obtain tail insurance coverage or a separate tail insurance policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum D&O Tail Premium.

(d) If NCC 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 NCC and its Subsidiaries shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 8.16. The provisions of this Section 8.16 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.

8.17 System Integration. From and after the date hereof, subject to applicable Law and regulation, United shall cause United Legacy Bank and its directors, officers and employees to, and shall make all commercially reasonable efforts (without undue disruption to either business) to cause United Legacy Bank’s data processing consultants and software providers to, cooperate and assist United Legacy Bank and NBC in connection with an electronic and systematic conversion of all applicable data of United Legacy Bank to the NBC system following the Effective Time, including the training of United Legacy Bank employees without undue disruption to United Legacy Bank’s business, during normal business hours.

8.18 Coordination; Integration. Subject to applicable Law and regulation, during the period from the date hereof until the Effective Time, United shall cause the Chief Executive Officer of United Legacy Bank or, if such Person is unavailable, another senior officer thereof, to assist and confer with the officers of NBC, on a weekly basis, relating to the development, coordination and implementation of the post-Merger operating and integration plans of NBC, as the resulting institution in the Subsidiary Merger. Notwithstanding the conversion of the core processing and other data processing and information systems of United and United Legacy Bank in conjunction with the Subsidiary Merger, and subject to applicable provisions of Law and non-objection from any Regulatory Authorities, following the Subsidiary Merger the former banking offices of United Legacy Bank, along with any banking offices of NBC in the same market area and under common day-to-day management with the former banking offices of United Legacy Bank, will operate and conduct business under the trade name “United Legacy Bank, a division of National Bank of Commerce” for at least two (2) years following the Effective Time (along with signage, stationery and marketing materials in such name).

8.20 Claims Letters. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and effective upon the Closing, each director of United has executed and delivered a Claims Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

The foregoing terminations shall be for payment amounts not to exceed those set forth on Schedule 8.21(a).

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, United Legacy Bank has entered into 5-year employment and non-competition agreements that become effective as of (and subject to the occurrence of) the Effective Time with the individuals set forth on Schedule 8.21(b) and in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.

(c) Either on or promptly following the date of this Agreement, United Legacy Bank will enter into 3-year employment and noncompetition agreements that become effective as of (and subject to the occurrence of) the Effective Time with the individuals set forth on Schedule 8.21(c) and in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (collectively with the agreements referenced in Section 8.21(b) above, the “Employment Agreements”).

8.22 Section 280G Matters. Prior to the Closing, NCC and United will work together in good faith to attempt to implement mutually satisfactory arrangements such that the Merger will not trigger or result in any payment, including without limitation any “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the IRC, that could be disallowed as a deduction or result in the payment of excise taxes under Section 280G of the IRC.

8.23 Employee Matters.

(a) Following the Effective Time, NCC shall maintain or cause to be maintained employee benefit plans and compensation opportunities for the benefit of employees (as a group) who are full-time active employees of United and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date (“Covered Employees”) that provide employee benefits and compensation opportunities which, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to the employee benefits and compensation opportunities that are made available on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis to similarly situated employees of NCC or its Subsidiaries, as applicable; provided, however, that in no event shall any Covered Employee be eligible to participate in any closed or frozen plan of NCC or its Subsidiaries. Subject to applicable Law and the terms and conditions of NCC’s benefit plans and the requirements of the insurers thereunder, NCC shall give the Covered Employees full credit for their prior service with United and its Subsidiaries as if employed by United and its Subsidiaries as of January 1, 2001 (i) for purposes of eligibility (including initial participation and eligibility for current benefits) and vesting under any qualified or non-qualified employee benefit plan maintained by NCC and in which Covered Employees may be eligible to participate and (ii) for all purposes under any welfare benefit plans, vacation plans and similar arrangements maintained by NCC (which shall not include, for the sake of clarity, any severance obligations under Section 8.23(e) below). Each Covered Employee’s accrued paid time off and unused sick time will be credited towards one or a combination of NCC’s welfare benefit plans.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan of NCC that is a health, dental, vision or other welfare plan in which any Covered Employee is eligible to participate, for the plan year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate, NCC or its applicable Subsidiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause any pre-existing condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such NCC or Subsidiary plan to be waived with respect to such Covered Employee to the extent such condition was or would have been covered under the United Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) recognize any health, dental, vision or other welfare expenses incurred by such Covered Employee in the year that includes the Closing Date (or, if later, the year in

which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate) for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such health, dental, vision or other welfare plan.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, United shall take, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to take, all actions requested by NCC that may be necessary or appropriate to (i) cause one or more United Benefits Plans to terminate as of the Effective Time, or as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Time, (ii) cause benefit accruals and entitlements under any United Benefit Plan to cease as of the Effective Time, or as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Time, (iii) cause the continuation on and after the Effective Time of any contract, arrangement or insurance policy relating to any United Benefit Plan for such period as may be requested by NCC, or (iv) facilitate the merger of any United Benefit Plan into any employee benefit plan maintained by NCC or an NCC Subsidiary. All resolutions, notices, or other documents issued, adopted or executed in connection with the implementation of this Section 8.23(c) shall be subject to NCC’s reasonable prior review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) Nothing in this Section 8.23 shall be construed to limit the right of NCC or any of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing Date, United and its Subsidiaries) to amend or terminate any United Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, nor shall anything in this Section 8.23 be construed to require NCC or any of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing Date, United and its Subsidiaries) to retain the employment of any particular Covered Employee for any fixed period of time following the Closing Date, and the continued retention (or termination) by NCC or any of its Subsidiaries of any Covered Employee subsequent to the Effective Time shall be subject in all events to NCC’s or its applicable Subsidiary’s normal and customary employment procedures and practices, including customary background screening and evaluation procedures and satisfactory employment performance.

(e) If, within nine (9) months after the Effective Time, any Covered Employee is terminated by NCC or its Subsidiaries other than “for cause” or as a result of unsatisfactory job performance, then NCC shall pay severance to such Covered Employee in an amount equal to two (2) weeks of base salary for each twelve (12) months of such Covered Employee’s prior employment with United or United Legacy Bank; provided, however, that in no event will the total amount of severance for any single Covered Employee be less than four (4) weeks of such base salary nor greater than twenty-six (26) weeks of such base salary. Any severance to which a Covered Employee may be entitled in connection with a termination occurring more than nine (9) months after the Effective Time will be as set forth in the severance policies of NCC and its Subsidiaries as then in effect. For the sake of clarity, this Section 8.23(e) does not apply to or benefit any Covered Employee who is a party to an Employment Agreement; rather, the terms and conditions of such Employment Agreement shall govern and control upon any termination of employment.

(f) At the Effective Time, NCC shall assume and maintain the Split Dollar Agreements and the Survivor Income Agreements for the officers identified on Schedule 8.23(f) and shall not terminate any such agreement as long as the officer who is a party thereto is an employee of NCC or its Subsidiaries.

No Consent obtained from any Regulatory Authority that is necessary to consummate the transactions provided for herein shall be conditioned or restricted in a manner (including without limitation requirements relating to the raising of additional capital or the disposition of Assets) which in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of either Party would so materially adversely impact the economic or business benefits of the transactions provided for in this Agreement as to render inadvisable the consummation of the Merger or the Subsidiary Merger.

Each of the Parties shall have obtained any and all Consents required for consummation of the Merger and the Subsidiary Merger (other than those referred to in Section 9.1(b) of this Agreement) or for the preventing of any Default under any Contract or Permit of such Party which, if not obtained or made, is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on such Party. No Consent so obtained which is necessary to consummate the transactions provided for herein shall be conditioned or restricted in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of either Party would so materially adversely impact the economic or business benefits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as to render inadvisable the consummation of the Merger or the Subsidiary Merger.

No action or proceeding shall have been instituted by any Person, and the Parties shall not have Knowledge of any threatened action or proceeding by any Person, which seeks to restrain the consummation of the Merger, the Subsidiary Merger or any other transaction provided for in this Agreement which, in the opinion of the NCC Board or the United Board, renders it impossible or inadvisable to consummate the transactions provided for in this Agreement.

(e) Tax Opinion. United and NCC shall have received a written opinion of counsel from Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxx, P.C. in form reasonably satisfactory to them (the “Tax Opinion”), to the effect that (i) the Merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC, (ii) the exchange in the Merger of United Common Stock for NCC Common Stock will not give rise to gain or loss to the stockholders of United with respect to such exchange (except to the extent of any cash received), and (iii) neither United nor NCC will recognize gain or loss as a consequence of the Merger (except for income and deferred gain recognized pursuant to Treasury regulations issued under Section 1502 of the IRC).

(g) Employment Agreements.

(j) Consents Under Agreements. United shall have obtained all consents or approvals of each Person (other than the Consents of the Regulatory Authorities) whose consent or approval shall be required in order to permit the succession by the Surviving Corporation to, or the continuation by United or any other United Subsidiary of, as the case may be, any obligation, right or interest of United or such United Subsidiary under any loan or credit agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, Contract or other agreement or instrument, except those for which failure to obtain such consents and approvals would not in the reasonable opinion of NCC, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Surviving Corporation and United or the United Subsidiary at issue or upon consummation of the transactions provided for in this Agreement.

(k) Material Condition. There shall not be any action taken, or any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, entered, enforced or deemed applicable to the Merger or the Subsidiary Merger by any Regulatory Authority which, in connection with the grant of any Consent by any Regulatory Authority, imposes, in the judgment of NCC, any material adverse requirement upon NCC or any NCC Subsidiary, including without limitation any requirement that NCC sell or dispose of any significant amount of the assets of United and its Subsidiaries, or any other NCC Subsidiary, provided that, except for any such requirement relating to the above-described sale or disposition of any significant assets of United or any NCC Subsidiary, no such term or condition imposed by any Regulatory Authority in connection with the grant of any Consent by any Regulatory Authority shall be deemed to be a material adverse requirement unless it materially differs from terms and conditions customarily imposed by any such entity in connection with the acquisition of banks, savings associations and bank and savings association holding companies under similar circumstances.

(l) Certification of Claims. United shall have delivered a certificate to NCC that United is not aware of any pending, threatened or potential claim against the directors or officers of any of the United Companies or under the directors and officers insurance policy or the fidelity bond coverage of United or any United Company.

10.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of a termination of this Agreement by either the NCC Board or the United Board as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no Liability or obligation on the part of NCC or United or their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them, except that this Section 10.2 and Article 11 and Sections 8.2 and 8.7 of this Agreement shall survive any such termination; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any breaching Party from Liability for an uncured willful breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement giving rise to such termination.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) by the NCC Board pursuant to Section 10.1(j), (ii) by the United Board pursuant to Section 10.1(k), or (iii) otherwise by the United Board at a time when the NCC Board or NCC has grounds to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(j), then United shall, in the case of clause (i), two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination or, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii), on the date of such termination, pay to NCC, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of $750,000 (the “Termination Fee”).

(c) In the event that (i) after the date hereof an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly disclosed or any Person shall have publicly disclosed that, subject to the Merger being disapproved by United stockholders or otherwise rejected, it will make an Acquisition Proposal with respect to United and thereafter this Agreement is terminated by the NCC Board or the United Board pursuant to Section 10.1(d)(ii), and (ii) concurrently with such termination or within nine (9) months of such termination United enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or consummates an Acquisition Proposal, then United shall, upon the earlier of entering into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or consummating an Acquisition Proposal, pay to NCC, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Termination Fee.

(d) United acknowledges that the agreements contained in Sections 10.2(b) and 10.2(c) are an integral part of the transactions provided for in this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, NCC would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if United fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.2(c), as the case may be, and, in order to obtain such payment, NCC commences a suit which results in a judgment for any of the Termination Fee, United shall pay NCC its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, other than in the case of a willful breach of this Agreement, the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall fully discharge United from, and be the sole and exclusive remedy of NCC and NBC with respect to, any and all losses that may be suffered them based upon, resulting from, or rising out of the circumstances given rise to such termination of this Agreement. In no event shall United be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

10.3 Non-Survival of Representations and Covenants. The respective representations, warranties, obligations, covenants and agreements of the Parties shall not survive the Effective Time, except for those covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement which by their terms apply in whole or in part after the Effective Time.
