Nomination and Standstill Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated May 14, 2015, by and among the persons listed on Schedule A (collectively, the “PL Capital Group”, and individually a “Member” of the PL Capital Group), Metro Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), and Richard J. Lashley (“Lashley”), in his capacity as the PL Capital Designee (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the PL Capital Group currently beneficially owns 1,247,179 shares of the common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), which represents approximately 8.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock reported by the Company in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

WHEREAS, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), and the Board, have considered the qualifications of Lashley (the “PL Capital Designee”) and conducted such review as they have deemed appropriate, including reviewing materials provided by the PL Capital Group and the PL Capital Designee.

WHEREAS, the Nominating Committee has recommended that the Board nominate the PL Capital Designee to the Board for election at the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “2015 Annual Meeting”), the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “2016 Annual Meeting”), and the 2017 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “2017 Annual Meeting”), and the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to do so on the terms set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and reliance upon the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.Board Nomination.

(a)    Subject to Section 1(d), and unless the PL Capital Designee has resigned (or, if the PL Capital Designee is not then a director of the Company, could have been required to resign if the PL Capital Designee were then a director of the Company) pursuant to Section 1(b) or refused to serve as a director of the Company, the Nominating Committee and the Board shall (i) at the 2015 Annual Meeting, the 2016 Annual Meeting and the 2017 Annual Meeting, nominate the PL Capital Designee for election as a director of the Company, together with the other persons so nominated on the Company’s slate in the Company’s proxy statement or proxy card for such annual meetings, with terms expiring at the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting following the 2015 Annual Meeting, the 2016 Annual Meeting and the 2017 Annual Meeting, respectively, (ii) recommend that the shareholders of the Company vote to elect the PL Capital Designee as a director of the Company at the 2015 Annual Meeting, the 2016 Annual Meeting and the 2017 Annual Meeting, and (iii) solicit proxies for the election of the PL Capital Designee as a director of the Company at the 2015 Annual Meeting, the 2016 Annual Meeting and the 2017 Annual Meeting in the same manner as it does for all the other members of the Company’s slates. Subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and to the extent

consistent with the treatment of other members of the Board, the Company shall, upon the initial election of the PL Capital Designee as a director of the Company, and, thereafter, if the PL Capital Designee is re-elected as a director of the Company, cause the PL Capital Designee to be appointed, or nominated and elected, as a member of Metro Bank’s board of directors (the “Bank Board”) with terms commensurate with the PL Capital Designee’s terms as a director of the Company; provided that if the PL Capital Designee voluntarily resigns from the Board, the PL Capital Designee shall simultaneously resign as a member of the Bank Board. Upon the initial election of the PL Capital Designee to the Board and, thereafter, upon the reasonable request of the PL Capital Designee, the Board shall consult with the PL Capital Designee regarding the appointment of the PL Capital Designee to one or more committees of each of the Board and the Bank Board, with the understanding that the intent of the parties is that the PL Capital Designee shall be considered for membership on committees of the Board and the Bank Board in a similar manner to other members of the Board and the Bank Board.

(b)    At any time while serving as a member of the Board or the Bank Board, the PL Capital Designee shall resign as a member of the Board and the Bank Board immediately at the written request of the Board if (i) the PL Capital Group does not own, in the aggregate, shares of Common Stock equal to at least 5.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on the number of shares of Common Stock most recently identified by the Company as outstanding in (x) any of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, in each case, as filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or (y) a written notice by the Company to the PL Capital Group) or (ii) the Board (acting through a resolution of a majority of its members) determines that any Member of the PL Capital Group has materially breached the terms of this Agreement and has failed to cure such breach within 15 calendar days following written notice from the Company to such Member describing such breach in reasonable detail.

(c)    Each Member of the PL Capital Group shall, and shall cause each “affiliate” and “associate” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of such Member of the PL Capital Group (collectively and individually the “PL Capital Affiliates”) to, cause all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it to be present for quorum purposes and to be voted at any meeting of shareholders (including the 2015 Annual Meeting, the 2016 Annual Meeting, the 2017 Annual Meeting and any special meeting of shareholders) or at any adjournments or postponements thereof, and to consent in connection with any action by consent in lieu of a meeting, (i) in favor of each director nominated and recommended by the Board for election at any such meeting, (ii) against any shareholder nominations for director that are not approved and recommended by the Board for election at any such meeting, (iii) against any proposals or resolutions to remove any member of the Board and (iv) in accordance with the Board’s recommendation for each other proposal if the PL Capital Designee has voted for, or abstained from voting on, such recommendation in his capacity as a director.

(d)    As a condition to the PL Capital Designee’s nomination for election to the Board at the 2015 Annual Meeting, the 2016 Annual Meeting and the 2017 Annual Meeting, the PL Capital Group and the PL Capital Designee agree to provide to the Company information required to be disclosed for directors, candidates for directors and their affiliates and representatives in a proxy statement or other filings under applicable laws, regulations or stock exchange rules or listing standards, information in connection with assessing the eligibility, independence and other criteria applicable to directors and information on compliance with applicable laws or regulations, in each case, to the extent such information is being requested of all directors of the Company, including a fully completed copy of the Company’s director questionnaire in the form provided to all directors of the Company and such other information as reasonably requested by the Company from time to time with respect to the PL Capital Group and the PL Capital Designee.

(e)    The PL Capital Designee shall, at all times while serving as a member of the Board or the Bank Board, (i) meet all director independence standards of the Company and Metro Bank and, with respect to service on the Board, The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) and the Exchange Act, including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (ii) with respect to service on the Board, be qualified to serve as a director under the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (the “BCL”) and the Company’s Bylaws and, with respect to service on the Bank Board, the Pennsylvania Banking Code of 1965 and the Bylaws of Metro Bank and (iii) comply with the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Depository Institution Management Interlocks Act (“DIMIA”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(f)    At all times while serving as a director of the Company or Metro Bank, the PL Capital Designee will receive the same benefits of directors’ and officers’ insurance and any indemnity and exculpation arrangements available generally to the other non-executive members of the Board and the Bank Board, as the case may be, and the same compensation and other benefits for his service as a director as the compensation and other benefits received by the other non-executive members of the Board and the Bank Board, as the case may be.

(g)    Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 1(g), at all times while serving as a member of the Board or the Bank Board, the PL Capital Designee shall comply with all policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to members of the Board or the Bank Board (as each may be amended from time to time for all directors). Upon the request of the PL Capital Designee, the Company shall make available to the PL Capital Designee copies of all such policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines that are in writing and in effect as of the date of such request. At all times while the PL Capital Designee is serving as a member of the Board or the Bank Board, (i) the PL Capital Designee shall not disclose to the PL Capital Group, any PL Capital Affiliate or any Third Party (as defined in Section 2(a)(ii)) any confidential information of the Company or Metro Bank, and (ii) each Member of the PL Capital Group shall not, and shall cause the PL Capital Affiliates not

to, seek to obtain confidential information of the Company or Metro Bank from the PL Capital Designee; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the PL Capital Designee may discuss confidential information with a principal of PL Capital, LLC (“PL Capital”) in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”), after the Non-Disclosure Agreement has been mutually executed and delivered by the Company, the PL Capital Designee, the principal of PL Capital and PL Capital.

(h)    If the PL Capital Designee is elected as a director of the Company at the 2015 Annual Meeting and thereafter, during the Covered Period (as defined in Section 5(a)), the PL Capital Designee is unable or ceases to serve on the Board due to the PL Capital Designee’s death, disability or resignation (other than a resignation pursuant to Section 1(b)), then (x) the PL Capital Group shall have the right to recommend a substitute person to fill the resulting vacancy (as well as any related resulting vacancy on the Bank Board), (y) the Board shall promptly appoint such replacement director to the Board (any such replacement director appointed in accordance with this Section 1(h) shall thereafter be deemed a “PL Capital Designee” under this Agreement), and (z) subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the Company shall cause such replacement director to be appointed to the Bank Board in a manner consistent with other members of the Board; provided that such replacement shall (i) satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 1(e), (ii) meet the standards and criteria applied by the Company in nominating and appointing directors, (iii) have relevant financial and business experience, (iv) be mutually satisfactory to the PL Capital Group and the Board, provided that the approval of the Board shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (v) if not a party hereto, execute and deliver a joinder to this Agreement and agree to be bound by the terms hereof applicable to the PL Capital Designee; provided, further, that the appointment of any replacement director pursuant to this Section 1(h) shall be subject to the Board’s exercise of its fiduciary duties and satisfactory completion of its customary due diligence process (including its review of a questionnaire for directors and director nominees, a background check and interviews).

Reference is made to the Nomination and Standstill Agreement, dated May 14, 2015 (the “Standstill Agreement”), by and among Metro Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), the PL Capital Group, and Richard J. Lashley (the “Director”), in his capacity as the PL Capital Designee. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Standstill Agreement, and the rules of interpretation set forth in Section 14 of the Standstill Agreement shall apply to this Non-Disclosure Agreement mutatis mutandis.

The Director may be provided certain information and data in connection with his serving as a director of the Company or Metro Bank that the Company or Metro Bank wishes to keep confidential, including information (whether furnished in writing or electronic format or orally) regarding the Company’s and Metro Bank’s governance, board of directors, management, plans, strategies, business, finances or operations and information that the Company or Metro Bank has obtained from third parties and with respect to which the Company or Metro Bank is obligated to maintain confidentiality (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Except as provided in this Non-Disclosure Agreement, the Director will not disclose any Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever or use any Confidential Information other than in connection with serving as a director of the Company or Metro Bank without, in each instance, securing the prior written consent of the Company (acting through a resolution of a majority of the Company’s directors).

Except as set forth in this paragraph, this Non-Disclosure Agreement shall not prevent the Director from privately disclosing Confidential Information to (i) officers, directors, accountants and counsel for the Company or Metro Bank, (ii) the Director’s legal counsel (a “Director Representative”) who needs to know such information for the sole purpose of advising the Director on his actions as a director of the Company or Metro Bank or, if the Director is a principal of PL Capital, LLC (“PL Capital”), advising PL Capital (or its controlled affiliates) on its (or their) investment(s) in the Company or (iii) John W. Palmer, a principal of PL Capital (the “PL Capital Principal”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Director will not disclose any information that the Director learns or obtains in his capacity as a director of the Company or Metro Bank to any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal to the extent such disclosure would be reasonably likely to constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege between the Company or Metro Bank and its counsel or the Company’s or Metro Bank’s attorney work product privilege. The Director also acknowledges and agrees that he will not disclose, and is prohibited by law and regulation from disclosing, to any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal any reports of examination or other confidential supervisory information of any bank regulatory authority, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities. Any Director Representatives shall only be provided Confidential Information to the extent that such Director Representative is informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and agrees or is otherwise obligated to keep such information confidential and to restrict the use

of such confidential information in accordance with the terms of this Non-Disclosure Agreement. The PL Capital Principal agrees to keep the Confidential Information confidential and to restrict the use of such confidential information in accordance with the terms of this Non-Disclosure Agreement, to be bound by this Non-Disclosure Agreement on the same terms as the Director by countersigning this Non-Disclosure Agreement and not to use any Confidential Information in a manner that may be detrimental to the Company or its subsidiaries, including Metro Bank. The Director and PL Capital shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by the Director, any Director Representatives, PL Capital or the PL Capital Principal.

The term “Confidential Information” shall not include information that (a) is at the time of disclosure or thereafter becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Director, PL Capital, a Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal in violation of the terms of this Non-Disclosure Agreement; (b) was, prior to disclosure by the Company or Metro Bank, already in the possession of the Director, a Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal; provided that the source of such information was, to such person’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry, not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Company or Metro Bank; (c) becomes available to the Director, a Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company, an affiliate of the Company (including Metro Bank) or an agent, representative, attorney, advisor, director, officer or employee of the Company or Metro Bank (collectively, the “Company Representatives”) that is, to such person’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry, not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Company or Metro Bank, and is not, to such person’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry, under an obligation to the Company or Metro Bank not to transmit the information to such person; or (d) was independently developed by the Director, a Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal without reference to or use of the Confidential Information.

The Director is aware, and will advise any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Non-Disclosure Agreement, that the Confidential Information may constitute material, non-public information and of the restrictions imposed by the United States securities laws on the purchase or sale of securities by any person who is aware of material, non-public information and on the communication of such information to any other person who may purchase or sell such securities on the basis of such information. The Director, PL Capital, any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal to whom the Director transmits Confidential Information under this Non-Disclosure Agreement will comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company or any other entity of which the Director is provided material non-public information in his capacity as a director of the Company or Metro Bank for as long as the Director, PL Capital, any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal are in possession of material non-public information about the Company or such other entity. The Director and the Company acknowledge that none of the provisions hereto shall in any way limit PL Capital’s or the PL Capital Principal’s activities in the ordinary course of business if such activities will not violate applicable securities laws or the obligations set forth in this Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Each of the Director, the PL Capital Principal and any Director Representative to whom the Director transmits Confidential Information under this Non-Disclosure Agreement acknowledges, or shall be deemed to acknowledge, that none of the Company, any affiliate of the Company or any Company Representative makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information. None of the Company, any affiliate of the Company or any Company Representative shall have any liability to the Director, PL Capital, any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal hereunder relating to or resulting from the use of the Confidential Information by the Director, PL Capital, any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal or any errors in or omissions from the Confidential Information.

In the event that the Director, PL Capital, any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal is requested in any proceeding or governmental inquiry to disclose any Confidential Information, the Director will give the Company prompt written notice, to the extent not legally prohibited, of such request so that the Company or Metro Bank may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the applicable provisions of this Non-Disclosure Agreement. If the Company or Metro Bank seeks a protective order, the Director, PL Capital and the PL Capital Principal agree to, and shall cause any Director Representative to, provide such cooperation as the Company or Metro Bank shall reasonably request and in no event will they oppose action by the Company or Metro Bank to obtain a protective order or other relief to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information or to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded to the Confidential Information. If in the absence of a protective order, the Director, PL Capital, any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal, based upon the advice of counsel, is legally required to disclose Confidential Information, such person or entity may disclose without liability under this Non-Disclosure Agreement such portion of the Confidential Information that counsel advises that the Director, PL Capital, any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal is legally required to disclose, so long as the recipient of such Confidential Information is informed of this Non-Disclosure Agreement and the confidential nature of such Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no legal requirement applicable to the Director, PL Capital or the PL Capital Principal to disclose any Confidential Information solely by virtue of the fact that, absent such disclosure, such parties would be prohibited from purchasing, selling, or engaging in derivative or other transactions with respect to securities of the Company.

The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Non-Disclosure Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that such damage would not be adequately compensable in monetary damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Non-Disclosure Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Non-Disclosure Agreement exclusively in the Pennsylvania Courts, in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity, and each party agrees it will not take any action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the party seeking relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees to waive any bonding requirement under any applicable law, in the case any other party seeks to enforce the terms by way of equitable relief. In the event of litigation relating to this Non-Disclosure Agreement, if a court of

competent jurisdiction determines that this Non-Disclosure Agreement has been breached by the Director, PL Capital, any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal, PL Capital will reimburse the Company for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with all such litigation (including any appeal relating thereto). Furthermore, each of the parties hereto irrevocably (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania Courts in the event any dispute arises out of this Non-Disclosure Agreement, (b) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from the Pennsylvania Courts, (c) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Non-Disclosure Agreement in any court other than the Pennsylvania Courts, (d) waives the right to trial by jury, and (d) consents to service of process by a the United States Postal Service or reputable overnight mail delivery service, in each case, signature requested, to the address set forth in Section 10 of the Standstill Agreement or as otherwise provided by applicable law. THIS NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, EFFECT AND ENFORCEMENT, BY THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

This Non-Disclosure Agreement may not be amended except in writing signed by all the parties hereto. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right hereunder or any partial exercise thereof shall operate as a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise of any right hereunder.

The provisions of this Non-Disclosure Agreement relating to confidentiality shall terminate two (2) years after the Director (or any substitute director appointed to replace the Director in accordance with Section 1(h) of the Standstill Agreement) ceases to be a director of the Company or Metro Bank, except that any Confidential Information constituting trade secrets of the Company or Metro Bank (as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1839(3)) shall be kept confidential in accordance with the obligations of this Non-Disclosure Agreement for such longer time as such information constitutes a trade secret of the Company or Metro Bank. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Non-Disclosure Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

All Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Company or Metro Bank and none of the Directors, PL Capital, any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal shall by virtue of any disclosure of or use of any Confidential Information acquire any rights with respect thereto, all of which rights (including all intellectual property rights) shall remain exclusively with the Company or Metro Bank. At any time after the date on which the Director (or any substitute director appointed to replace the Director in accordance with Section 1(h) of the Standstill Agreement) is no longer a director of the Company, upon the request of the Company for any reason, the Director and the PL Capital Principal will, and will cause PL Capital and any Director Representative to, promptly return to the Company or destroy all hard copies of the Confidential Information and use reasonable efforts to permanently erase or delete all electronic copies of the Confidential Information in the possession or control of the Director,

PL Capital, any Director Representative or the PL Capital Principal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, the Director, the PL Capital Principal, PL Capital and any Director Representative shall be permitted to retain such Confidential Information as is necessary to enable them to comply with any applicable document retention requirements under applicable law or regulation and to retain any computer records and computer files containing any Confidential Information if required pursuant to their respective current automatic archiving and backup procedures; provided, however, that such retention shall be solely for legal, regulatory or archival purposes, as the case may be.

Unless and until any substitute director appointed in accordance with Section 1(h) of the Standstill Agreement executes a joinder to this Non-Disclosure Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms hereof applicable to the Director, the PL Capital Principal shall not be permitted to discuss Confidential Information with, or obtain Confidential Information from, such substitute director.

Acknowledged and agreed as of the date first written above:

The Company, its Directors, its executive officers and its nominees for election as Director may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from shareholders in connection with the matters to be considered at the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be considered participants in the solicitation of shareholders in connection with the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and their direct or indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, which may be different from those of the Company’s shareholders generally, will be set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the other relevant documents to be filed with the SEC.
