The execution, delivery, and performance by Buyer of this Agreement are within Buyer’s corporate power, and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part, subject to any required approvals of this Agreement and the Transactions by the Regulators. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Buyer and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the General Exceptions.

Section 6.02 Conflicts; Defaults. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer nor the consummation of the Transactions will (a) conflict with, result in the breach of, constitute a default under, or accelerate the performance required by, the terms of any order, Law,, contract, instrument or commitment to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound, (b) violate the creation documents or bylaws of Buyer, or (c) require any consent, approval, authorization or filing under any law, regulation, judgment, order, writ, decree, permit or license to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound, in each case, other than any required approvals of this Agreement and the Transactions by the Regulators and the shareholders of Seller.

Buyer is not aware of any facts that would reasonably afford a basis for any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

The officers of Seller shall furnish Buyer with such additional financial and operating data and other information relating to the assets, properties and business of Seller as Buyer shall from time to time reasonably request in accordance with this Section 7.04(a). Seller shall consent, upon reasonable advance notice, to the review by the officers and authorized representatives of Buyer of the reports and working papers of Seller’s independent auditors (upon reasonable advance notice to such auditors).

(2) Current information on the quality and performance of the Loans including information on the status of any delinquencies, non-performing Loans, OREO, new Loans, information concerning refinancings and payments made on such Loans, and information indicating that any of the representations and warranties relating to the Loans in Section 5.07, Section 5.08 or Section 5.09 are no longer accurate in all material respects; and

(3) Information concerning the total Deposits and by deposit product, their weighted average interest rate.

Within fifteen (15) days following the close of each month between the date hereof and the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with unaudited financial statements of Seller for such month prepared in accordance with Seller’s current internal practices.

In addition, as applicable, from and after the date hereof to the Closing Date, and at and as of the Closing Date, each Party shall supplement or amend any of its representations and warranties which apply to the period after the date hereof by delivering written updates (“Disclosure Schedule Updates”) to the other Party, with respect to any matter hereafter arising and not disclosed herein or in the Disclosure Schedules that would render any such representation or warranty after the date of this Agreement materially inaccurate or incomplete as a result of such matter arising. A matter identified in a Disclosure Schedule Update that causes any warranty or representation to be breached shall not cure or be deemed to cure such breach.

(b) Seller’s disclosure of a matter in the Disclosure Schedule, including, without limitation, the disclosure of a pending litigation matter, regulatory proceeding, governmental audit or investigation or potential environmental condition, shall not prevent any future adverse development that may occur with respect to such matter from being a breach of the warranties and representations contained in Article V or in the Disclosure Schedule or a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Buyer’s disclosure of a matter in the Buyer Schedules shall not prevent any future adverse development that may occur with respect to such matter from being a breach of the warranties and representations contained in Article V or in the Buyer Schedules.

Section 7.23 Non-Solicitation. For so long as the Seller and Holding Company are in existence (but in any event no longer than two (2) years following the Closing Date), Seller and Holding Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its officers, directors, or affiliates on behalf of Seller or Holding Company to, solicit (a) solicit, on behalf of Seller or Holding Company, customers whose Deposits are assumed pursuant to this Agreement or whose Loans are acquired by Buyer under this Agreement for any banking business, or (b) engage, on behalf of Seller or Holding Company, in deposit taking activities within 50 miles of any office of Seller as of the date of Closing. Further, for two

35

(2) years following the Closing Date, Seller and Holding Company shall not, nor shall any of its officers or directors solicit, on behalf of Seller or Holding Company, any Former Seller Employee who is then employed by Buyer to work for Seller or Holding Company, or any such officer or director; provided, however, that non-directed job postings or advertisements shall not be deemed a solicitation for purposes of this Section 7.23.

Section 7.24 Municipal Accounts. Except as set forth in Section 7.24 of the Disclosure Schedule, from and after the Effective Date, the Seller shall not open any new Deposits or accept additional public funds accounts from a depositor that is a municipality or other governmental agency.

Section 7.25 Delivery of Fixed Assets. Seller hereby agrees that (a) the personal property owned by Seller to be delivered on the Closing Date shall be substantially the same as the Fixed Assets set forth on Section 3.02(b) of the Disclosure Schedule that are identified as being owned by Seller, and (b) the personal property leased by Seller to be delivered on the Closing Date shall be substantially the same as the Fixed Assets set forth on Section 3.02(b) of the Disclosure Schedule that are identified as being leased by Seller, in each case, ordinary wear and tear and casualty events excepted, and in the case of leased personal property, the expiration of any leases. Seller shall assign to Buyer any manufacturer or supplier warranty covering any Fixed Asset.

Section 7.26 Liquidation Accounts. Seller shall consult with the Regulators to determine the amount required to be held in the Liquidation Accounts and any required distributions from the Liquidation Accounts. Prior to or on the Closing Date, Seller shall inform Buyer of the contingent liability associated with the Liquidation Accounts as of the most recent practicable date, as estimated by Seller in good faith (the “Liquidation Account Value”). Holding Company, Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate and to take all actions required by the Regulators with respect to the Liquidation Accounts to complete the Transactions in an efficient manner. If the Liquidation Accounts may be assumed by Buyer, Buyer will assume Seller’s obligations under the Liquidation Accounts. If the applicable Regulators direct that Seller liquidate and make distributions to depositors from the Liquidation Accounts, Seller shall set aside cash for the purpose of paying to depositors the Liquidation Account Value in designated Bank Accounts (the “Funded Liquidation Accounts”); provided, however, that such amounts will not be deducted from the Purchase Price. In such case, the Funded Liquidation Accounts shall be deemed an “Excluded Asset” for purposes of this Agreement and Seller shall (a) take all commercially reasonable actions to ensure that the Funded Liquidation Accounts are distributed as soon as practicable following the Closing and (b) appoint the Holding Company as the sole party responsible for communications with any third parties relating to the distribution of the Funded Liquidation Accounts. If Buyer assumes Seller’s obligations under the Liquidation Accounts, Buyer will take all actions necessary and appropriate to evidence its assumption of the Liquidation Accounts if so required, including, without limitation, making any required charter amendments.

Section 7.27 SBA Consent. As soon as practicable following the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals for consummation of the Transactions, Seller shall submit a request to the SBA for the SBA’s prior written consent to sell and transfer the Loans of Seller subject to the SBA’s 7(a) loan program to Buyer in conformity with the provisions of 13 C.F.R. 120.432 and other applicable laws and regulations governing the SBA’s 7(a) loan program. Buyer and Seller shall each cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts (a) to prepare all documentation, to effect all filings, to obtain all permits, consents, approvals, and authorizations of all third parties and governmental authorities, including, without limitation, the SBA, necessary to consummate the sale and transfer of the Loans of Seller subject to the SBA’s 7(a) loan program as provided herein and (b) to comply with the terms and conditions of such permits, consents, approvals, and authorizations

EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

Section 8.01 Employees.

(a) Buyer will offer similar salaries, duties and benefits as are available to similarly situated employees of Buyer, to those employees of Seller who Buyer elects to hire and who satisfy Buyer’s customary employment requirements, including pre-employment interviews, investigations and Buyer’s employment needs. Seller will give Buyer a reasonable opportunity to interview the employees, provided such interviews do not interfere with the normal business operations of Seller in any material respect.

36

(b) Buyer shall assume and honor all of Seller’s obligations under COBRA or any applicable state law to those employees of Seller who Buyer elects to hire with respect to continuation of healthcare coverage following the Closing Date and Seller’s obligations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”).

(c) Before Closing, with Seller’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Buyer may conduct such training and other programs as it may, in its reasonable discretion and at its sole expense, elect to provide for those employees who accept an offer of employment from Buyer; provided, however, that such training and other programs shall not interfere with or prevent the performance of the normal business operations of Seller in any material respects.

(d) This Section 8.01 shall not confer any rights or benefits on any person other than Buyer and Seller, or their respective successors and assigns, either as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise.

(e) If any employee of Seller is not hired by Buyer or Buyer terminates the employment of any employee of Seller within twelve (12) months after the Closing for any reason other than for Cause, and such employee was not entitled to any consideration resulting from the consummation of the Transactions pursuant to an employment agreement or change in control agreement, Buyer will pay a severance amount to such employee equal two (2) weeks of such employee’s base salary or weekly wages, as applicable, for each completed year of service as an employee of Seller with a minimum severance of four (4) weeks of base salary or weekly wages and a maximum severance of twenty-six (26) weeks of base salary or weekly wages. The severance payments provided by this Section 8.01(e) shall not apply to any Seller employee with an employment agreement or a change in control payment applicable to them prior to the Closing Date.

(f) As agreed to by Buyer and Seller, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, Seller may pay the “stay bonuses” to employees of Seller as set forth in Section 8.01(f) of the Disclosure Schedule to ensure an orderly and successful transition of the business of Seller and the Assets to Buyer. The amount and timing of any stay bonus paid to any employee shall be mutually agreed upon by Seller and Buyer, and shall take into account and be intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Upon the mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller as to the structure of the stay bonuses, the aggregate amount of such stay bonuses shall be paid by Buyer to Seller (or directly to such employees) prior to Closing.

(g) Buyer agrees that those employees of Seller who become employees of Buyer on the Closing Date (“Former Seller Employees”), while they remain employees of Buyer after the Closing Date will be provided with benefits under Buyer’s health and welfare, dental and vision insurance, life insurance, short term and long term disability, retirement savings, profit sharing and all other employee benefit plans during their period of employment which are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided by Buyer to similarly situated employees of Buyer. At the Closing Date, Buyer will amend or cause to be amended each employee benefit and welfare plan of Buyer in which Former Seller Employees are eligible to participate, to the extent necessary and allowable under applicable law, so that as of the Closing Date:

(1) such plans take into account for purposes of eligibility, participation, vesting, and benefit accrual (except that there shall not be any benefit accrual for past service under any qualified defined benefit pension plan), the service of such employees with Seller as if such service were with Buyer;

(2) Former Seller Employees are not subject to any waiting periods or pre-existing condition limitations under the medical, dental and health plans of Buyer in which they are eligible to participate and may commence participation in such plans on the Closing Date;

(3) for purposes of determining the entitlement of Former Seller Employees to sick leave and vacation pay following the Closing Date, the service of such employees with Seller shall be treated as if such service were with Buyer;

(4) Former Seller Employees are first eligible to participate and will commence participating in Buyer’s qualified retirement plans on the first business day following the Closing Date to avoid a gap in coverage;

37

provided, however, (i) Former Seller Employees with less than one (1) year tenure with the Seller as of the Closing Date will not be eligible to participate in Buyer’s qualified retirement plans until they have achieved, in the aggregate tenure with Buyer and Seller, one (1) year of service, and (ii) the Former Seller Employees with less than one (1) year tenure with Seller as of the Closing Date will not be eligible to participate on Buyer’s qualified retirement plans until the first day of the next calendar quarter after their respective eligibility date; and

(5) Former Seller Employees are entitled to earn, accrue, and carry over paid time off pursuant to the applicable policies of Buyer, with prior service with Seller being deemed to be service with Buyer for such purposes.

(h) Employment Contracts and Employee Benefit Plans. Buyer is not assuming, nor shall it have responsibility for the continuation of, any liabilities under or in connection with:

(1) any consulting contract, collective bargaining agreement, supplemental employee retirement plan, plan or arrangement providing for insurance coverage or for deferred compensation, bonuses (other than bonuses to the extent accrued on the Seller Financial Statements), or other forms of incentive compensation or post-retirement compensation or benefits, written or implied, which is entered into or maintained, as the case may be, by Seller; or

(2) any Employee Benefit Plan as maintained, administered, or contributed to by Seller and covering any employees.

Section 8.02 Other Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Seller shall take all appropriate action to terminate Seller’s 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plans (“Seller’s Qualified Plans”) as of immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer agrees that nothing in this Section will require Seller to cause the final dissolution and liquidation of Seller’s Qualified Plans prior to the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller shall take such actions prior to the Closing Date as may be reasonably necessary to enable the employees of Seller after the Closing Date to transfer the amount credited to their accounts under the Seller’s Qualified Plans through rollover contributions into either a qualified defined contribution plan of Buyer or a separate third party individual retirement account, or to take distributions from the Seller’s Qualified Plans.

(b) Buyer and Seller shall take such actions between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, as may be reasonably necessary, to pay a stay/retention bonus after the Closing to those Former Seller Employees in an aggregate amount as set forth in Section 8.02(b) and as otherwise agreed upon by Buyer and Seller, which shall be in addition to any severance payment such Former Seller Employee shall otherwise be entitled to pursuant to this Agreement. The Parties shall coordinate with each other as to the issuance of any incentive payment to Former Seller Employees or Seller’s employees that would be in the best interest of Buyer and Seller.

(c) Section 8.02(c) of the Disclosure Schedule lists the estimated change in control payments that will be made by Seller under the agreements identified in Section 8.02(c) of the Disclosure Schedule of this Agreement immediately prior to the Closing.

(d) Immediately prior to Closing, Seller shall take any and all actions necessary to terminate the agreements identified in Section 8.02(c) of the Disclosure Schedule and pay any change in control and severance amounts described therein in single lump sum payments as of or immediately prior to the Closing Date.

Section 8.03 Employee Documents. Within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with access to employees at the Seller’s locations. Upon receipt of the written consent of each employee, Buyer will be granted access to that employee’s personnel files (or copies thereof) but excluding any medical or health related information; provided, that such access to employees shall not interfere with the normal business activities and operation of the Seller’s locations.

Section 8.04 Directors and Officer Insurance Coverage.

(c) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless: each person entitled to indemnification from Seller and/or Holding Company immediately prior to the Closing Date (including current and past directors and officers) (the “Indemnified Individuals”) against any and all claims, liability, costs and expenses arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the Transactions and, with respect to Transactions or portions thereof that occur after the Closing Date, without regard to the fact that actions related to such Transactions or portions thereof occur after the Closing Date) to the fullest extent which Seller or the Holding Company, as the case may be, would have been permitted under any applicable law and its Articles and bylaws (and Buyer shall also advance expenses, including, but not limited to, fees and disbursements of legal counsel as incurred).

(d) Buyer shall purchase for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, at Buyer’s expense, so long as the annual premium or premiums does not exceed 150% of the annual premium payments on the current policies, as in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum Amount”), and Buyer shall cause to be maintained in effect for such six (6) year period, for the benefit of the Holding Company, Seller and the Indemnified Individuals prior to the Closing Date, a tail policy or policies providing coverages equivalent to the level and scope of directors’ and officers’ liability and other professional insurance policies in effect as of the Closing Date. If such tail coverage cannot be purchased for the Maximum Amount described above, Buyer shall obtain, in consultation with Seller, as much comparable insurance as is available for such Maximum Amount. In the event the insurer declines to provide the tail policy prior to the Closing Date, or after the Closing Date terminates the tail policy, Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to identify and obtain similar coverage from another insurance carrier of substantially similar size and reputation to that of such former insurer, if such coverage is reasonably obtainable from the marketplace. If after such reasonable efforts another such insurance carrier is unable or unwilling to provide such similar coverage, Buyer shall obtain the best coverage available, as determined in the reasonable judgment of Seller or Buyer, as applicable, for a cost up to but not exceeding the Maximum Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and regardless of the purchase of insurance coverage under this subsection (d), Buyer will be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Individuals in accordance with subsection (c) above.

Buyer shall send notification(s) to the same holders either together with Seller’s mailing (in which case Buyer shall pay the costs of such mailing and Buyer shall not delay the timing of such mailing), or within three (3) days after Seller’s notification setting out the details of its administration of the assumed accounts. Each party shall obtain the approval of the other on its notification letter(s), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Except as otherwise provided herein, each party will be responsible for the cost of its own mailing.

Section 11.09 Conversion and Data Processing. It is understood and agreed that the conversion of the processing, reporting, payment and other operating systems of the Seller to those of Buyer shall be effected by Buyer after the Closing and shall not be a condition of closing. All expenses incurred relating to the data processing conversion, including without limitation any and all termination fees, conversion fees and other fees, expenses and payments required in connection with the termination of the Data Processing Contracts and the de-conversion of systems shall be borne solely and entirely by Buyer.
