Section 1.03. Directors and Officers of Surviving Entity. The directors and officers of the Surviving Entity immediately after the Effective Time of the Merger shall be the directors and officers of Buyer in office immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that Buyer and Buyer Bank shall take all appropriate action so that, as of the Effective Time, (A) the number of directors constituting Buyer Board and the board of directors of Buyer Bank shall each be increased by two (2) and (B) W. David Tull and one additional individual, designated jointly by Buyer and Company, shall be appointed as directors of Buyer and Buyer Bank.

Section 1.04. Bank Merger. Immediately following the Effective Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter, Company Bank will merge with and into Buyer Bank with Buyer Bank as the surviving bank of such merger.

The Merger shall become effective upon the later of (i) such filing of the DE Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, (ii) such filing of the MI Certificate of Merger with the Michigan Director, or (iii) such date and time as the parties agree and may be specified in the Certificates of Merger (the date and time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

(b) The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, 2900 K Street NW North Tower – Suite 200 Washington D.C., 20007-5118 on a date and at a time to be agreed upon by the parties, which date shall be no later than five (5) Business Days after the satisfaction of the last to be satisfied of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that, by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (if permitted by applicable Law) of those conditions), or such other time, date or location as the parties may mutually agree in writing. The date upon which the Closing shall actually occur pursuant hereto is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. At the Closing, there shall be delivered to Buyer and Company the Certificates of Merger and such other certificates and other documents required to be delivered hereunder.

Section 1.06. Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Buyer shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, documents, assignments or assurances in Law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Company Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have granted to each of the Buyer Parties, and each or any of them, an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver, in such official corporate capacities, all such deeds, assignments or assurances in Law or any other acts as are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, and the officers and directors of each of the Buyer Parties, as applicable, are authorized in the name of each of the Company Parties and their respective Subsidiaries to take any and all such action.

ARTICLE 2.

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Section 2.01. Merger Consideration. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and the MBCA, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Buyer Parties, the Company Parties or any holder of their respective securities:

(a) Each Company Common Share owned directly by Buyer, Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like for the benefit of customers) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and retired at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 2.03 with respect to fractional Company Common Shares, each Company Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares described in Section 2.01(a) above) shall be converted into the right to receive such number of shares of Buyer Common Stock determined by multiplying (i) one (1) by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (the “Merger Consideration”).

(c) Each share of Buyer Common Stock shall remain outstanding without change following the Effective Time as shares of the Surviving Entity.

Section 2.02. Rights as Shareholders; Share Transfers. At the Effective Time, all Company Common Shares, when converted in accordance with Section 2.01, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate or Book-Entry Share previously evidencing such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive for each such Company Common Share, the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2. At the Effective Time, holders of Company Common Shares shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Company, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2. After the Effective Time, there shall be no registration of transfers of Company Common Shares on the share transfer books of Company.

Section 2.03. Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger. In lieu thereof, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to each Person who would otherwise be a holder of a fractional share of Buyer Common Stock as a result of the conversion set forth in Section 2.01, rounded to the nearest one hundredth of a share, an amount of cash (without interest and rounded down to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying the fractional share interest in Buyer Common Stock to which such Person would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all Company Common Shares held at the Effective Time by such holder) by the Purchase Price. No such Person will be entitled to dividends, voting rights, or any other rights as a shareholder in respect of any fractional shares.

Section 2.04. Options and Other Share-Based Awards.

(a) The provisions of this Section 2.04 shall pertain to all (i) Company Options and (ii) other share-based awards granted by Company under the Company Equity Plans that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Treatment of Company Options.

(i) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, all unvested Company Options, whether In-the-money Company Options or Out-of-the-money Company Options, shall become vested and exercisable with respect to all shares covered thereby.

(ii) As of the Effective Time, (A) all In-the-money Company Options shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right of each holder of such In-the-money Company Option to receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to the product of (1) the number of Company Common Shares underlying such Company Option multiplied by (2) the excess of the Purchase Price (in this case rounded down to the nearest whole cent) over the exercise price per share under such Company Option, less any applicable withholding Taxes (the “Option Payment”) and (B) all Out-of-the-money Company Options shall be cancelled and of no further force and effect, and cease to represent a right to acquire Company Common Shares or Buyer Common Stock, without any consideration therefor.

(iii) Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall (i) provide each holder of a Company Option a cancellation and consent letter agreement in such form as is acceptable to Buyer (an “Option Cancellation Letter”) and (ii) shall obtain the receipt from each such holder of a Company Option a duly executed Option Cancellation Letter.

(iv) The payment of the Option Payment, if any, to a holder of a Company Option shall be conditioned upon the receipt of such executed Option Cancellation Letter from such holder. The Option Payment shall be made at or as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, in accordance with the Surviving Entity’s ordinary payroll practices; provided, however, that to the extent any payments cannot be paid during such period without causing the recipient to incur an additional income tax under Section 409A of the Code, then such payment shall be distributed in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. All Option Payments will be reduced by any withholding for Taxes or other deductions required under applicable Law.

(c) As of the Effective Time, all Company Equity Plans (and, except as provided under this Section 2.04, all awards thereunder) shall be terminated and no further awards or other rights shall be granted thereunder. Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall provide such notice, if any, to the extent required under the terms of the applicable Company Equity Plans or by Buyer, obtain any necessary consents, adopt applicable resolutions, amend the terms of the Company Equity Plans or any outstanding awards, and take all other appropriate actions in cooperation with Buyer to: (a) give effect to the transactions contemplated herein; (b) terminate the Company Equity Plans as of the Effective Time; and (c) ensure that after the Effective Time, neither any holder of Company Options, any beneficiary thereof, nor any other participant in any Company Equity Plan shall have any right thereunder to acquire any securities

of Company Parties or the Buyer Parties or their respective Subsidiaries or to receive any payment or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under the Company Equity Plans, except as provided in this Section 2.04 or Section 5.12(c) with respect to the ESOP. Any awards under the Company Equity Plans, and any payments or benefits in respect thereof, will be subject to withholding for Taxes or other deductions, required under applicable Law. The Buyer Parties and the Company Parties agree that none of the Company Options or the Company Equity Plans will be assumed by the Buyer Parties.

Section 2.05. Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, and provided that Company has delivered, or caused to be delivered, to the Exchange Agent all information that is reasonably required under the terms of the Exchange Agent Agreement, the Exchange Agent shall mail or otherwise cause to be delivered to each holder of record of Company Common Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time appropriate and customary transmittal materials in a form reasonably satisfactory to Company, Buyer and the Exchange Agent, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss and/or bonds in such amounts as may be required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent in lieu of such Certificate(s)) or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, as well as instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2 as provided for in this Agreement (the “Letter of Transmittal”). Buyer and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the share transfer books of Company to establish the identity of the holders of Company Common Shares, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto.

Section 2.06. Deposit of Merger Consideration.

(a) At or before the Effective Time, Buyer shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent stock certificates, or, at Buyer’s option, evidence of book-entry shares in book entry form, representing the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Merger Consideration payable under the terms hereof (together with, to the extent then determinable any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2 (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”), and Buyer shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay such consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Company for one (1) year after the Effective Time (as well as any dividends or other distributions thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to Buyer. Any shareholders of Company who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.06 and Section 2.07(a) shall thereafter look only to Buyer for the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03 and any applicable dividends or other distributions with respect to the Buyer Common Stock) in accordance with this Article 2 deliverable in respect of each Company Common Share such shareholder held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case without any interest thereon. If outstanding Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for Company

Common Shares are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such shares of Buyer Common Stock or cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by the Law of abandoned property and any other applicable Law, become the property of Buyer (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of Company Common Shares represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration (or any dividends or distributions with respect thereto) paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

Section 2.07. Delivery of Merger Consideration.

(a) Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of its Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Share(s), accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal timely delivered to the Exchange Agent, a holder of Company Common Shares will be entitled to receive as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time the aggregate Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2 to be issued or paid in respect of the Company Common Shares represented by the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares of the holder thereof. The Exchange Agent and Buyer, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to deliver cash and/or shares of Buyer Common Stock to a holder of Company Common Shares to which such holder would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing the Company Common Shares for exchange as provided in this Article 2, or, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in such amount as may be reasonably required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent.

(b) In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares for Company Common Shares that is not registered in the share transfer records of Company, the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) in accordance with this Article 2 shall be issued or paid in exchange therefor to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered is registered if the Certificate or Book-Entry Share formerly representing such Company Common Shares shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment or issuance shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment or issuance to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable, and the Person requesting payment for such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall have complied with the provisions of the Letter of Transmittal. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of any Company Common Shares represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share, Buyer and Exchange Agent shall be entitled to tender to the custody of any court of competent jurisdiction any Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.03) represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and file legal proceedings interpleading all parties to such dispute, and will thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(c) All shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and if ever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Buyer in respect of the Buyer Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Buyer Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share until such Certificate (or affidavit of loss and/or a bond in such amount as may be required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent in lieu of such Certificate) or Book-Entry Share is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article 2. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss and/or a bond in such amount as may be required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent in lieu of such Certificate(s)) or Book-Entry Share, there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Buyer Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Buyer Common Stock and not paid, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Buyer Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(d) Buyer (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority and upon such remittance shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Buyer or the Exchange Agent, as applicable.

Section 2.08. Plan of Reorganization. It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g). Each party to this Agreement agrees to treat the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code and agrees to treat this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g), unless and until there is a determination, within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code, that such treatment is not correct.

Section 2.09. Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event that before the Effective Time Buyer changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of, or provides for the exchange of, shares of Buyer Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, reclassification, exchange or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding Buyer Common Stock, the Exchange Ratio shall be equitably adjusted.

Section 2.10. No Further Ownership Rights. All shares of Buyer Common Stock issued upon conversion of Company Common Shares in accordance with the terms hereof (as well as any cash paid pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Shares or Company Options; subject, however, to the Surviving Entity’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been declared or made by Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the Effective Time and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

(d) Subject to Section 5.10(e), neither Company Board nor any committee thereof shall: (i) withhold, withdraw, change, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withdraw, change, qualify, amend or modify, in a manner adverse in any respect to the interest of Buyer, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), or take any other action or make any other statement inconsistent with, the Company Recommendation, fail to reaffirm the Company Recommendation within three (3) Business Days following a request by Buyer, or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with the Company Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the Company Recommendation (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification of the Company Recommendation); (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) resolve to take, or announce an intention to take, any of the foregoing actions (each of (i), (ii) or (iii) a “Company Subsequent Determination”); or (iv) enter into (or cause Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (A) related to any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10(b)) or (B) requiring Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.10(d), prior to the date of the Company Meeting, Company Board may make a Company Subsequent Determination after the fifth (5th) Business Day following Buyer’s receipt of a notice (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from Company advising Buyer that Company Board has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that it received (that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.10) constitutes a Superior Proposal if, but only if, (i) Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Company’s shareholders under applicable Law (it being understood that the initial determination under this clause (i) will not be considered a Company Subsequent Determination), (ii) during the five (5) Business Day period after receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal by Buyer (the “Notice Period”), Company and Company Board shall have cooperated and negotiated in good

faith with Buyer to make such adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable Company to proceed with the Company Recommendation without a Company Subsequent Determination; provided, however, that Buyer shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (iii) at the end of the Notice Period, after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms, if any, as may have been proposed by Buyer since its receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal, Company Board has again in good faith made the determination (A) in clause (i) of this Section 5.10(e) and (B) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. In the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal, Company shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal to Buyer and again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.10(e), except that the Notice Period shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days.

(f) Notwithstanding any Company Subsequent Determination, this Agreement shall be submitted to Company’s shareholders at the Company Meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Company of such obligation; provided, however, that if Company Board shall have made a Company Subsequent Determination with respect to a Superior Proposal, then Company Board may recommend approval of such Superior Proposal by the shareholders of Company and may submit this Agreement to Company’s shareholders without recommendation, in which event Company Board shall communicate the basis for its recommendation of such Superior Proposal and the basis for its lack of a recommendation with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to Company’s shareholders in the Proxy Statement-Prospectus or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto.

Section 5.11. Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, and in any event subject to the provisions of Section 5.11(b)(iii), Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the present and former directors and officers of the Company Parties (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, or liabilities incurred in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative arising out of actions or omissions of such Persons in the course of performing their duties for Company or Company Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries occurring at or before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each a “Claim”), to the same extent as such Persons have the right to be indemnified pursuant to Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws in effect on the date of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and in connection with any such Claim promptly advance expenses from time to time as incurred, to the same extent as such Persons have the right to expense advancement pursuant to Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws in effect on the date of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provided, the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides a reasonable and customary undertaking (which shall not include posting of any collateral) to repay such advances, if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.11 shall promptly notify Buyer upon learning of any Claim, provided, that failure to so notify shall not affect the obligation of Buyer under this Section 5.11, unless, and only to the extent that, Buyer is materially prejudiced in the defense of such Claim as a consequence. In the event of any such Claim (whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time), (i) (A) Buyer shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Buyer shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses or other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, unless such Indemnified Party is advised in writing by counsel that the defense of such Indemnified Party by Buyer would create an actual or potential conflict of interest (in which case, Buyer shall not be obligated to reimburse or indemnify any Indemnified Party for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties, in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction where defense of any Claim has been or is to be asserted), and (B) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (ii) Buyer shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent and Buyer shall not settle any Claim without such Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iii) Buyer shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if such indemnification would be in violation of any applicable federal or state banking Laws or regulations, or in the event that a federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Laws and regulations, whether or not related to banking Laws.

(c) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase and provide director’s and officer’s liability insurance (herein, “D&O Insurance”) that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of Company or its Subsidiaries (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from acts and omissions 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 Parties, as that coverage currently provided by Company, provided that, if Buyer is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 5.11, Buyer will provide as much comparable insurance as is reasonably available (subject to the limitations described below in this Section 5.11(c)); and provided, further, that officers and directors of Company 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. In no event shall Buyer be required to expend for such tail insurance a premium amount in excess of an amount equal to 200% of the annual premium paid by Company for D&O Insurance in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum D&O Tail Premium”). If the aggregate cost of such tail insurance exceeds the Maximum D&O Tail Premium, Buyer shall obtain tail insurance coverage or a separate tail insurance policy with the greatest coverage available for an aggregate cost not exceeding the Maximum D&O Tail Premium for, in the case of a tail insurance policy, the aggregate Maximum D&O Tail Premium for the 6-year period). At the option of Company, prior to the Effective Time and in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, Company may, purchase a tail policy for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on the terms described in this Section 5.11(c) (including subject to the aggregate Maximum D&O Tail

Premium, except if one or more directors elects to pay for any excess over such amount) and fully pay for such 6-year policy prior to the Effective Time, in which event Buyer’s obligations under this Section 5.11(c) shall be fully satisfied. If such prepaid tail policy has been obtained by Company prior to the Effective Time, Buyer will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the cancellation or modification of such policy.

(d) If Buyer 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 Buyer and its Subsidiaries shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.11.

(e) These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party. After the Effective Time, the obligations of Buyer under this Section 5.11 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party unless the affected Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification. If any Indemnified Party makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 5.11 that is denied by Buyer, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Party is entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expense, in whole or in part, then Buyer or the Surviving Entity shall pay such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with enforcing such claim against Buyer.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.11 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Section 5.12. Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) Employees of Company and Company Bank shall be retained as “at will” employees of the Surviving Entity or Buyer Bank after the Effective Time as employees of Buyer or Buyer Bank. In addition, Company and Company Bank agree, upon Buyer’s reasonable request, to facilitate discussions between Buyer and Company employees a reasonable time in advance of the Closing Date regarding employment, consulting or other arrangements to be effective prior to or following the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, any interaction between Buyer and Company employees shall be coordinated by Company or Company Bank.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or is otherwise determined in writing by the Buyer no less than ten (10) days preceding the Closing Date, not later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Company shall take all action required to (i) cause any Company Benefit Plan that has liabilities in respect of its participants, to

be fully funded to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer; (ii) terminate via duly adopted resolution all such Company Benefit Plans, including any nonqualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements Company 401(k) Plan and the ESOP, effective immediately prior to Closing and fully vest each participant in any unvested account balances thereunder; and (iii) commence the process to pay out any vested benefits thereunder to participating and eligible Company employees in such form or forms as Company or Company Bank reasonably determined under the applicable Company Benefit Plans and as permitted or required under applicable Law.

(c) The ESOP shall be terminated via duly adopted resolution the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “ESOP Termination Date”). On or prior to the ESOP Termination Date, Company shall direct the ESOP trustee to remit a sufficient number of unallocated shares of the Company Common Shares held by the ESOP’s suspense account to Company or any other lender (as applicable) to repay the full outstanding balance of the ESOP loan(s). None of the unallocated shares used to repay the ESOP loan(s) will be entitled to receive any Merger Consideration. On or prior to the ESOP Termination Date, the Company shall make a contribution to the ESOP and/or take such other actions as requested by Buyer for prior years’ hires in connection with the ESOP, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2016, in either case as may be directed by Buyer. All remaining unallocated Company Common Shares and other unallocated plan assets, if any, held by the ESOP shall be allocated among the participant accounts on the ESOP Termination Date in accordance with the terms of the ESOP, and, as of the Closing, all Company Common Shares held by the ESOP shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. As soon as administratively feasible following the Closing Date, the account balances of the ESOP shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of the ESOP and the requirements of the Code and ERISA. Company shall adopt the necessary amendment(s) and board resolution(s) to effect the provisions of this Section 5.12(b), upon prior written notice and consent of Buyer. From the date of this Agreement until the ESOP Termination Date, contributions by Company to the ESOP shall continue to be accrued and made in accordance with the terms of the ESOP except as otherwise directed by Buyer in accordance with this clause (c).

Section 5.13. Notification of Certain Changes. Buyer and Company shall promptly advise the other party of any change or event having, or which could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect or which it believes would, or which could reasonably be expected to, cause or constitute a material breach of any of its or its respective Subsidiaries’ representations, warranties or covenants contained herein, which reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article 6 to be satisfied on the Closing Date, provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any change or event shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of this Section 5.13, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case unless the underlying change or event would independently result in a failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01, Section 6.02 or Section 6.03 to be satisfied on the Closing Date.

Section 5.14. Transition; Informational Systems Conversion. From and after the date hereof, Buyer and Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the integration of Company with the business of Buyer following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan for the conversion of the data processing and related electronic informational systems of Company and each of its Subsidiaries (the “Informational Systems Conversion”), in such a manner sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that a successful Informational Systems Conversion will occur at, as may be elected in writing by Buyer to Company after the date hereof and prior to filing the application for the Regulatory Approvals, (a) the time that is immediately following the Merger and the Bank Merger or (b) such later date as may be specified by Buyer, in each case, subject to any applicable Laws, including Laws regarding the exchange of information and other Laws regarding competition. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Company shall, subject to any such applicable Laws: (i) reasonably cooperate with Buyer to establish a project plan as specified by Buyer to effectuate the Informational Systems Conversion; (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to have Company’s outside contractors continue to support both the Informational Systems Conversion effort and its ongoing needs until the Informational Systems Conversion can be established; (iii) provide, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from any outside contractors, all data or other files and layouts reasonably requested by Buyer for use in planning the Informational Systems Conversion, as soon as reasonably practicable; (iv) provide reasonable access to Company’s personnel and facilities and, with the consent of its outside contractors, its outside contractors’ personnel and facilities, to the extent necessary to enable the Informational Systems Conversion effort to be completed on schedule; and (v) give notice of termination, conditioned upon the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, of the contracts of outside data, item and other processing contractors or other third-party vendors to which Company or any of its Subsidiaries are bound if requested to do so by Buyer to the extent permitted by such contracts; provided, that Company shall not be required to take any action under this Section 5.14 that, after consultation with Buyer regarding Company’s concerns in the matter, would prejudice or adversely affect in any material respect its rights under any such contracts in the event the Closing does not occur. Buyer shall promptly reimburse Company for any reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the actions described in this Section 5.14. Such access as contemplated by this Section 5.14 shall be conducted by Buyer in a manner which does not adversely affect the normal operations of Company or Company Bank and neither Company nor Company Bank shall be required to provide access to or disclose information (i) which would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of Company or Company Bank or contravene any binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or any Law or fiduciary duty, (ii) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, relating to an Acquisition Proposal, and Superior Proposal, a Company Subsequent Determination or any matters related thereto, (iii) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, related to Company’s or Company Bank’s directors’, officers’, employees’, accountants’, counsels’, advisors’(including investment bankers) agents’, or other representatives’, consideration of, or deliberations regarding, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iv) the disclosure which would violate applicable Law.

Section 5.16. Environmental Assessments.

(a) No later than forty-five (45) Business Days after the date hereof, Company shall cooperate with and grant access to an environmental consulting firm selected and paid for by Buyer (the “Environmental Consultant”), during normal business hours (or at such other times as may be agreed to by Company), to any Company Real Property, for the purpose of conducting an ASTM Phase I and an asbestos and lead base paint survey as it relates to providing an environmental site assessment to determine whether any such property may be impacted by a “recognized environmental condition,” as that term is defined by ASTM. Each Phase I (including the asbestos and lead base paint surveys) shall be delivered in counterpart copies to Buyer and Company, and will include customary language allowing both Buyer and Company to rely upon its findings and conclusions. The Environmental Consultant will provide a draft of any Phase I to Company and Buyer for review and comment prior to the finalization of such report. If Company or Company Bank has ASTM Phase I reports for any Company Real Property that are dated as of a date that is within one (1) year before the date of this Agreement, then Company or Company Bank may deliver such reports to Buyer in lieu of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.17(a) with respect to that property.

Section 5.18. Director Matters.

(a) Buyer shall take all appropriate action so that, as of the Effective Time, (A) the number of directors constituting Buyer Board and the board of directors of Buyer Bank shall be increased by two (2) and (B) W.
