(iii) AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of September 30, 2005 (this "Agreement"), by and between CAVALRY BANCORP, INC, a Tennessee corporation ("CAVB"), and PINNACLE FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC., a Tennessee corporation ("PNFP"). RECITALS: WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of PNFP and CAVB have approved, and deem it advisable and in the best interests of their respective corporations and shareholders to consummate the strategic business combination transaction provided for herein in which CAVB will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, merge with and into PNFP (the "Merger"), so that PNFP is the surviving corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to in such capacity as the "Surviving Corporation") in the Merger; WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of PNFP and CAVB have each determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby are consistent with, and in furtherance of, their respective business strategies and goals; WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger; and WHEREAS, for Federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the parties intend, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I. THE MERGER 1.1 The Merger. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the Tennessee Business Corporation Act (the "TBCA"), at the Effective Time (as defined below), CAVB shall merge with and into PNFP. PNFP shall be the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Tennessee. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of CAVB shall terminate. (b) The parties may by mutual agreement at any time change the method of effecting the combination of CAVB and PNFP including without limitation the provisions of this Article I, if and to the extent they deem such change to be desirable, including without limitation 1 to provide for a merger of CAVB with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNFP; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount of Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be provided to holders of CAVB Common Stock (as defined below) as provided for in this Agreement, (ii) adversely affect the tax treatment of holders of CAVB Common Stock as a result of receiving the Merger Consideration or (iii) materially impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 1.2 Effective Time. The Merger shall become effective as set forth in the articles of merger that shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Tennessee (the "Tennessee Secretary") on the Closing Date. The term "Effective Time" shall be the date and time when the Merger becomes effective, as set forth in the Articles of Merger. 1.3 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 48-21-108 of the TBCA. 1.4 Conversion of CAVB Common Stock . At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of CAVB, PNFP or the holder of any of the following securities: (a) Subject to Section 2.2(e), each share of the common stock, no par value per share, of CAVB (the "CAVB Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for shares of CAVB Common Stock owned by CAVB or PNFP (other than shares of CAVB Common Stock held in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary capacity, that are beneficially owned by third parties (any such shares held in a fiduciary capacity by CAVB or PNFP, as the case may be, being referred to herein as "Trust Account Shares")) or shares of CAVB Common Stock held on account of a debt previously contracted ("DPC Shares"), shall be converted into the right to receive 0.95 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of PNFP (the "PNFP Common Stock") (the "Merger Consideration"). (b) All of the shares of CAVB Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article I shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate previously representing any such shares of CAVB Common Stock (each, a "Certificate") shall thereafter represent only the right to receive (i) a certificate representing the number of whole shares of PNFP Common Stock (defined below), and (ii) cash in lieu of fractional shares, into which the shares of CAVB Common Stock represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to this Section 1.4 and Section 2.2(e). Certificates previously representing shares of CAVB Common Stock shall be exchanged for certificates representing whole shares of PNFP Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares issued in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Certificates in accordance with Section 2.2, without any interest thereon. If, prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of PNFP Common Stock or CAVB Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio per share payable pursuant to this Agreement. 2 (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the Effective Time, all shares of CAVB Capital Stock (as defined below) that are owned by CAVB or PNFP (other than Trust Account Shares and DPC Shares) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no Merger Consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. 1.5 PNFP Capital Stock. At and after the Effective Time, each share of PNFP Capital Stock (as defined below) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger. 1.6 Options and Other Stock-Based Awards. (a) Effective as of the Effective Time, each then outstanding option to purchase shares of CAVB Common Stock (each a "CAVB Stock Option") issued pursuant to the equity-based compensation plans identified in Section 4.11 of the CAVB Disclosure Schedule (the "CAVB Stock Plans") to any current or former employee or director of, or consultant to, CAVB or any of its Subsidiaries, as defined below, shall be assumed by PNFP and shall be converted automatically into an option to purchase a number of shares of PNFP Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) (an "Assumed Stock Option") at an exercise price determined as provided below (and otherwise subject to the terms of the CAVB Stock Plans and the agreements evidencing the options thereunder): (i) The number of shares of PNFP Common Stock to be subject to the Assumed Stock Option shall be equal to the product of the number of shares of CAVB Common Stock subject to the CAVB Stock Option and the Exchange Ratio, provided that any fractional shares of PNFP Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded to the nearest whole share; and (ii) The exercise price per share of PNFP Common Stock under the Assumed Stock Option shall be equal to the exercise price per share of CAVB Common Stock under the CAVB Stock Option divided by the Exchange Ratio, provided that such exercise price shall be rounded to the nearest whole cent. In the case of any CAVB Stock Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code, the conversion formula shall be adjusted, if necessary, to comply with Section 424(a) of the Code. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Assumed Stock Options shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including expiration date, vesting and exercise provisions) as were applicable to the corresponding CAVB Stock Options immediately prior to the Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto, including the acceleration of vesting thereof, provided for in the CAVB Stock Plans or other CAVB Benefit Plan, as defined below, or in any award agreement thereunder by reason of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby); provided, however, that references to CAVB shall be deemed to be references to PNFP. (b) PNFP has taken all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of PNFP Common Stock upon the exercise of the Assumed Stock Options. On or as soon as practicable following the Closing Date (and in no event more than five business days after the Closing Date), PNFP shall file a registration statement on an appropriate 3 form or a post-effective amendment to a previously filed registration statement under the Securities Act (defined below) with respect to the issuance of the shares of PNFP Common Stock subject to the Assumed Stock Options and shall use its reasonable efforts consistent with customary industry standards to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such equity awards remain outstanding. 1.7 Charter. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Charter of PNFP, as amended (the "PNFP Articles"), shall be the Charter of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law. 1.8 Bylaws. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Bylaws of PNFP shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law. 1.9 Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, that this Agreement shall constitute a "plan of reorganization" for the purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code. 1.10 Certain Post-Closing Matters. (a) Board Composition. As of the Effective Time, and continuing for a period consistent with the 3 year staggered terms of directors of PNFP to which they will be added following the Effective Time, Ed C. Loughry, Jr. and two other Current CAVB Directors, as defined below, shall be appointed to and shall serve on the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation. For purposes of this Section 1.10, the term "Current CAVB Directors" shall mean those members of the CAVB Board of Directors immediately prior to the public announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (b) Procedure for Appointing Current CAVB Directors to Surviving Corporation's Board of Directors. Within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board of Directors of CAVB shall submit the names of Ed C. Loughry, Jr. and two other Current CAVB Directors to the nominating and corporate governance committee of PNFP for consideration of nomination to fill three vacancies on the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time. The nominating and corporate governance committee of PNFP's Board of Directors shall nominate such persons to fill such vacancies. The Board of Directors of PNFP shall promptly meet to consider the appointment of such persons to fill such vacancies and shall appoint such persons at such meeting if such persons, other than Ed C. Loughry, Jr., are reasonably acceptable candidates to serve on the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation. In the event the nominating and corporate governance committee or the Board of Directors of PNFP objects to a nominee, other than Ed C. Loughry, Jr., the nominating and corporate governance committee of CAVB's Board of Directors shall propose additional nominees for consideration until a reasonably acceptable member is found. (c) Officers of Surviving Corporation. The current officers of PNFP shall continue as the officers of the Surviving Corporation. 4 (d) Survival/Adoption of Commitments.

From and after the Effective Time, the location of the headquarters and principal executive offices of the Surviving Corporation shall be that of the headquarters and principal executive offices of PNFP as of the date of this Agreement. ARTICLE II. DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION 2.1 Deposit of Merger Consideration. Prior to the Effective Time, PNFP shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to each of CAVB and PNFP (the "Exchange Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, certificates representing the shares of PNFP Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares (such cash and certificates for shares of PNFP Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund"), to be issued pursuant to Section 1.4 and paid pursuant to Section 1.4 and Section 2.2(e) in exchange for outstanding shares of CAVB Common Stock. 2.2 Delivery of Merger Consideration. (a) As soon as practicable, but in no event later than five business days, after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of one or more Certificates a letter of transmittal in customary form as reasonably agreed by the parties (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing the shares of PNFP Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of CAVB Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement. Upon proper surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate or Certificates for exchange and cancellation, together with such properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal as the Exchange Agent may reasonable require, the holder of such Certificate or Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a certificate representing that number of whole shares of PNFP Common Stock to which such holder of CAVB Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I and (ii) a check representing the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Certificate or Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash or on any unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates. (b) No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to PNFP Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of a 5 Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of PNFP Common Stock represented by such Certificate. (c) If any certificate representing shares of PNFP Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate or Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of PNFP Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate or Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable. (d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of CAVB of the shares of CAVB Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for certificates representing shares of PNFP Common Stock and cash for fractional shares as provided in this Article II. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of PNFP Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to PNFP Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of PNFP. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, PNFP shall pay to each former shareholder of CAVB who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the average of the closing-sale prices of PNFP Common Stock on the securities market or stock exchange in which the PNFP Common Stock principally trades, as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the Effective Time by (ii) the fraction of a share (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of PNFP Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.4. (f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of CAVB as of the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be paid to PNFP. Any former shareholders of CAVB who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to PNFP for payment of the shares of PNFP Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the PNFP Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of CAVB Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of CAVB, PNFP, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of CAVB Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. 6 (g) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by PNFP, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as PNFP may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the shares of PNFP Common Stock, and any cash in lieu of fractional shares deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) There is no injunction, order, judgment, decree, or regulatory restriction (other than those that apply to similarly situated bank holding companies or banks) imposed upon CAVB, any of its Subsidiaries or the assets of CAVB or any of its Subsidiaries that has had or will have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on CAVB. 4.10 Taxes and Tax Returns.

ARTICLE VI. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS 6.1 Regulatory Matters. (a) CAVB and PNFP shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC the Joint Proxy Statement and PNFP shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC the Form S-4, in which the Joint Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus. Each of CAVB and PNFP shall use their reasonable best efforts in consultation with their respective legal counsel to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, and CAVB and PNFP shall thereafter mail or deliver the Joint Proxy Statement to their respective shareholders. PNFP shall also use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or "Blue Sky" permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and CAVB shall furnish all information concerning CAVB and the holders of CAVB Capital Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. If at any time prior to or after the Effective Time any information relating to either of the parties, or their respective affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by either party which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus so that such documents would not include any misstatement of a 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, the party which discovers 33 such information shall promptly notify the other party hereto and, to the extent required by law, rules or regulations, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of PNFP and CAVB. (b) The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Merger), and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such Governmental Entities. CAVB and PNFP shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to PNFP or CAVB, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties hereto agree that they will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated herein. (c) Each of CAVB and PNFP shall, upon request, furnish to the other all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Joint Proxy Statement, the Form S-4 or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of CAVB, PNFP or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (d) Each of CAVB and PNFP shall promptly advise the other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval (as defined below) will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed. (e) PNFP and CAVB shall promptly furnish each other with copies of written communications received by PNFP and CAVB, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries from, or delivered by any of the foregoing to, any Governmental Entity in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 6.2 Access to Information. (a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, each of CAVB and PNFP, for the purposes of verifying the representations and warranties of the other and preparing for the Merger and the other matters contemplated by this Agreement, shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, 34 afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of the other party, access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records and, during such period, each of CAVB and PNFP shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, make available to the other party (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws or federal or state banking laws (other than reports or documents which CAVB or PNFP, as the case may be, is not permitted to disclose under applicable law) and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such party may reasonably request. Neither CAVB nor PNFP nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of CAVB's or PNFP's, as the case may be, customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. (b) Each of PNFP and CAVB agrees that it will not, and will cause its representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 6.2 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with entering into this Agreement) for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of law, each party will keep confidential, and will cause its representative to keep confidential, all information and documents obtained pursuant to this Section 6.2 (as well as any other information obtained prior to the date hereof in connection with the entering into of this Agreement) unless such information (i) was already known to such party, (ii) becomes available to such party from other sources not known by such party to be bound by a confidentiality obligation, (iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the providing party or (iv) is or becomes readily ascertainable from publicly available sources. If this Agreement is terminated or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall otherwise fail to be consummated, each party shall promptly cause all copies of documents or extracts thereof containing information and data as to the other party to be returned to the other party. (c) No investigation by either of the parties or their respective representatives shall affect the representations and warranties of the other set forth herein. 6.3 Shareholders' Approvals. Each of CAVB and PNFP shall call a meeting of its shareholders to be held as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of voting upon proposals to adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and each shall use its reasonable best efforts, to cause such meetings to occur as soon as reasonably practicable and on the same date. The Board of Directors of each of PNFP and CAVB shall use its reasonable best efforts (and subject to its fiduciary duty) to obtain from the shareholders of PNFP and CAVB, as the case may be, the vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement required by the TBCA and PNFP's and CAVB's charter and bylaws, as the case may be to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated, this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of CAVB and PNFP at such meeting for the purpose of obtaining the CAVB Shareholder Approval or PNFP Shareholder Approval, as the case may be, and voting on the 35 approval and adoption of this Agreement and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve CAVB and PNFP of such obligations. 6.4 Legal Conditions to Merger. Each of CAVB and PNFP shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any material consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party that is required to be obtained by PNFP or CAVB or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 6.5 Affiliates. CAVB shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each director, executive officer and other person who is an "affiliate" (for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act) of CAVB to deliver to PNFP, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, and prior to the date of the shareholders' meetings called by CAVB to be held pursuant to Section 6.3, a written agreement, in the form of Exhibit 6.5. 6.6 Stock Quotation or Listing. PNFP shall cause the shares of PNFP Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be qualified for quotation or listing on the NASDAQ National Market, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time. PNFP shall cause the shares of CAVB Common Stock to be de-listed with the NASDAQ National Market and the SEC after the Effective Time. 6.7 Employee Benefit Plans; Existing Agreements. (a) As of the Effective Time, to the extent permissible under the terms of the PNFP employee benefit Plans, the employees of CAVB and its Subsidiaries (the "CAVB Employees") shall be eligible to participate in PNFP's employee benefit plans in which similarly situated employees of PNFP or its Subsidiaries participate, to the same extent as similarly situated employees of PNFP or its Subsidiaries (it being understood that inclusion of CAVB Employees in PNFP's employee benefit plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans) except as provided below. (b) With respect to each PNFP Plan that is an "employee benefit plan," as defined in section 3(3) of ERISA, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, and entitlement to benefits, including for severance benefits and vacation entitlement, service with CAVB shall be treated as service with PNFP; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication or increase of benefits. Such service also shall apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any preexisting condition limitations. Each PNFP employee benefit plan shall waive pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent waived under the applicable CAVB employee benefit plan. CAVB Employees shall be given credit for amounts paid under a corresponding benefit plan during the same period for purposes of 36 applying deductibles, copayments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the PNFP employee benefit plans. (c) From and after the Effective Time, PNFP or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, will assume and honor and shall cause the appropriate Subsidiaries of PNFP to assume and to honor in accordance with their terms all employment, severance, change of control and other compensation agreements and arrangements between CAVB or its Subsidiaries and any employee thereof, and all accrued and vested benefit obligations, including any related to CAVB's Director Supplemental Retirement Plan or Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan, existing prior to the execution of this Agreement which are between CAVB or any of its Subsidiaries and any current or former director, officer, employee or consultant thereof. PNFP acknowledges and agrees that the Merger shall constitute a "Change of Control" or "Change in Control" as defined in such agreements and further agrees that any subsequent voluntary termination by those employees subject to severance agreements and set forth on Section 6.7(e) of the CAVB Disclosure Schedule of his or her employment within twelve (12) months of the Effective Time shall automatically obligate PNFP or the Surviving Corporation to make payment of obligations under any such agreements. (d) From and after the Effective Time, PNFP or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, will, and will cause any applicable Subsidiary thereof or Employee Benefit Plan, to provide or pay when due to CAVB's employees as of the Effective Time all benefits and compensation pursuant to CAVB's Employee Plans, programs and arrangements in effect on the date hereof earned or accrued through, and to which such individuals are entitled as of the Effective Time (or such later time as such Employee Benefit Plans as in effect at the Effective Time are terminated or canceled by PNFP or the Surviving Corporation) subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any amounts accrued for the benefit of the employees of the CAVB as of the Effective Time, payable pursuant to CAVB's and its Subsidiaries cash bonus plan based on return on equity, which amount PNFP agrees to pay within ten (10) days following the Closing of the Merger. 6.8 Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance. (a) In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including, without limitation, any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which any individual who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer or employee of CAVB or any of its Subsidiaries, or who is or was serving at the request of CAVB or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee or agent of another person, including any entity specified in the CAVB Disclosure Schedule (the "Indemnified Parties"), is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of CAVB or any of its Subsidiaries or any entity specified in the CAVB Disclosure Schedule or any of their respective predecessors or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and use their best efforts to defend against and respond thereto. It is understood and agreed that after the Effective Time, PNFP shall indemnify and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent permitted by law, each such Indemnified Party against any 37 losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by law upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable law), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation. (b) PNFP shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the individuals serving as officers and directors of CAVB, its Subsidiaries or any entity specified in the CAVB Disclosure Schedule immediately prior to the Effective Time to be covered for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time (or the period of the applicable statute of limitations, if longer) by the directors' and officers' liability insurance policy maintained by CAVB (provided that PNFP may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous than such policy) with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time which were committed by such officers and directors in their capacity as such. (c) In the event PNFP or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of PNFP assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.8. (d) The provisions of this Section 6.8 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. 6.9 Additional Agreements. In case at any time before or after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any merger between a Subsidiary of PNFP, on the one hand, and a Subsidiary of CAVB, on the other) or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Merger, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, PNFP. As long as PNFP has certified to CAVB that all conditions to Closing have been met as described in this Agreement, if PNFP makes a request to CAVB to make accounting adjustments prior to the Effective Time, such changes shall be made, but to the extent CAVB might not have otherwise made such adjustments except at the request of PNFP, such changes shall not impact the calculation of income or financial returns for purposes of determining the bonuses of employees of CAVB or its Subsidiaries. 6.10 Advice of Changes. CAVB and PNFP shall each promptly advise the other party of any change or event (i) having a Material Adverse Effect on it or (ii) which it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under 38 this Agreement; provided further that a failure to comply with this Section 6.10 shall not constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Article VII to be satisfied unless the underlying Material Adverse Effect or material breach would independently result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article VII to be satisfied. 6.11 Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b). PNFP and CAVB agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain CAVB Insiders (as defined below) in connection with the Merger, both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that CAVB Insiders not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in connection with the conversion of shares of CAVB Common Stock and CAVB Stock Options into shares of PNFP Common Stock in the Merger, and for that compensatory and retentive purpose agree to the provisions of this Section 6.11. Assuming that CAVB delivers to PNFP the Section 16 Information (as defined below) in a timely fashion, the Board of Directors of PNFP, or a committee of Non-Employee Directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act), shall adopt a resolution providing that the receipt by CAVB Insiders of PNFP Common Stock in exchange for shares of CAVB Common Stock, and of options on PNFP Common Stock upon conversion of options on CAVB Common Stock, in each case pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to the extent such securities are listed in the Section 16 Information, are intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act. The term "Section 16 Information" shall mean information accurate in all material respects regarding CAVB Insiders, the number of shares of CAVB Common Stock held by each such CAVB Insider and expected to be exchanged for PNFP Common Stock in the Merger, and the number and description of the options on CAVB Common Stock held by each such CAVB Insider and expected to be converted into options on PNFP Common Stock in connection with the Merger; provided that the requirement for a description of any CAVB Stock Options shall be deemed to be satisfied if copies of all CAVB Stock Plans, and forms of agreements evidencing grants thereunder, under which such CAVB Stock Options have been granted, have been made available to PNFP. The term "CAVB Insiders" shall mean those officers and directors of CAVB who are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and who are listed in the Section 16 Information. 6.12 Acquisition Proposals. (a) CAVB and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (including any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by CAVB or any of its Subsidiaries) shall immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any other parties that may be ongoing with respect to the possibility or consideration of any Acquisition Proposal, as defined below. From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, CAVB shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its or its Subsidiaries' directors, officers or employees or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly through another person, (i) solicit, initiate or encourage (including by way of furnishing information or assistance), or take any other action designed to facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any 39 Acquisition Proposal or (iii) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Acquisition Proposal. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any representative of CAVB, whether or not such representative is so authorized and whether or not such representative is purporting to act on behalf of such party or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by CAVB. (b) (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of CAVB shall be permitted, prior to its meeting of shareholders to be held pursuant to Section 6.3, to engage in discussions and negotiations with, or provide any nonpublic information or data to, any person in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal by such person made after the date of this Agreement which its Board of Directors concludes in good faith constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, as defined below, if and only to the extent that the Board of Directors of CAVB reasonably determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that failure to do so would cause it to violate its fiduciary duties under applicable law and subject to compliance with the other terms of this Section 6.12 and to first entering into a confidentiality agreement having provisions that are no less restrictive to such person than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement. (ii) CAVB shall notify PNFP promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, or any request for nonpublic information relating to CAVB or any of its Subsidiaries by any person that informs CAVB or any of its Subsidiaries that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry from any person seeking to have discussions or negotiations with such party relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall be made orally and confirmed in writing, and shall indicate the identity of the person making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request and the material terms and conditions of any inquiries, proposals or offers (including a copy thereof if in writing and any related documentation or correspondence). CAVB shall also promptly, and in any event within 24 hours, notify PNFP, orally and in writing, if it enters into discussions or negotiations concerning any Acquisition Proposal or provides nonpublic information or data to any person in accordance with this Section 6.12(b) and keep PNFP informed of the status and terms of any such proposals, offers, discussions or negotiations on a current basis, including by providing a copy of all material documentation or correspondence relating thereto. (iii) Nothing contained in this Section 6.14 shall prohibit CAVB or its Subsidiaries from taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position required by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that compliance with such rules shall not in any way limit or modify the effect that any action taken pursuant to such rules has under any other provision of this Agreement.
