AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of April 28, 2015 (this “Agreement”), by and between MAGNA BANK, a Tennessee state-chartered bank (“Target”), PINNACLE FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC., a Tennessee corporation (“Parent”), and PINNACLE BANK, a Tennessee state-chartered bank and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquiror”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Acquiror and Target 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 Target will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, merge with and into Acquiror (the “Merger”), so that Acquiror is the surviving corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger;

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Acquiror and Target 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, as a material inducement and as additional consideration to Parent to enter into this Agreement, certain holders of the Target’s Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock have entered into a voting agreement with Parent dated as of the date hereof, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (each a “Voting Agreement” and collectively, the “Voting Agreements”), pursuant to which each such person has agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock owned by such person in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

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”) and the Tennessee Banking Act (the “TBA”), at the Effective Time, Target shall merge with and into Acquiror. Acquiror 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 Target shall terminate.

(b) The parties may by mutual agreement at any time change the method of effecting the combination of Target and Acquiror including without limitation the provisions of this Article I, if and to the extent they deem such change to be desirable; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or form of Merger Consideration to be provided to holders of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock as provided for in this Agreement, (ii) adversely affect the tax treatment of holders of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred 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 upon the filing of this Agreement with the Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions or such later date as shall be set forth in the articles of merger (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.

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 Target Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Target, Parent, Acquiror or the holder of any of the following securities:

(a) Subject to Section 2.2(e) and the election, proration and redesignation provisions of Section 1.4(b), each (i) share of the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of Target (the “Target Common Stock”) and (ii) share of Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, par value of $1.00 per share (the “Target Series D Preferred Stock”), which by its terms shall convert automatically into a share of Target Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for Target Dissenting Shares (as defined below) and shares of Target Common Stock owned by Target, Parent or Acquiror (other than shares of Target 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 Target, Parent or Acquiror, as the case may be, being referred to herein as “Trust Account Shares”) and shares of Target Common Stock held on account of a debt previously contracted (“DPC Shares”)), shall be converted into

the right to receive either (i) 0.3369 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”), together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(e) of this Agreement (the “Stock Consideration”) or (ii) an amount in cash equal to $14.32, without interest, (the “Cash Consideration” and together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Assuming that the SBLF Redemption (as defined below) is completed, no shares of preferred stock of Acquiror or Parent will be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) (i) The number of shares of Target Common Stock (including shares of Target Common Stock issuable automatically upon conversion of the Target Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time) to be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration shall be equal to 25% of the number of shares of Target Common Stock (including shares of Target Common Stock issuable automatically upon conversion of the Target Series D Preferred Stock) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.4(d)) (the “Cash Election Number”). For purposes of determining the Cash Election Number, each holder of Target Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have made a Cash Election (as defined below) unless such holder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s right to payment as dissenting shareholders under the TBCA at or prior to the Effective Time. The number of shares of Target Common Stock (including shares of Target Common Stock issuable automatically upon conversion of the Target Series D Preferred Stock) to be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration shall be equal to 75% of the number of shares of Target Common Stock (including shares of Target Common Stock issuable automatically upon conversion of the Target Series D Preferred Stock) outstanding immediately prior the Effective Time (excluding shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.4(d)) (the “Stock Election Number”).

(ii) Subject to the proration and election procedures set forth in this Section 1.4(b), each holder of record of shares of Target Common Stock (including shares of Target Common Stock issuable automatically upon conversion of the Target Series D Preferred Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares held by Target, Parent, Acquiror or any of the subsidiaries of Parent or Acquiror (other than Trust Account Shares and DPC Shares) and Target Dissenting Shares) will be entitled to elect to receive (a) the Cash Consideration for all such shares (a “Cash Election”), (b) the Stock Consideration for all of such shares (a “Stock Election”) or (c) the Cash Consideration for 25% of such shares and the Stock Consideration for 75% of such shares (a “Combination Election”). All such elections shall be made on a form designed for that purpose prepared by Parent and reasonably acceptable to Target (a “Form of Election”). The Form of Election will include appropriate stock certificate transmittal materials which transmittal materials shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon delivery of a certificate or certificates representing shares of Target Common Stock or shares of Target Series D Preferred Stock to the Exchange Agent (as defined below) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender to the Exchange Agent of certificates for Target Common Stock or shares of Target Series D Preferred Stock in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Holders of record of shares of Target Common Stock or shares of Target Series D Preferred Stock who hold such shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities (a “Representative”) may submit multiple Forms of Election, provided that such Representative certifies that each such Form of Election covers all the shares of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock held by each such Representative for a particular beneficial owner.

(iii) Parent and Target shall mail, or cause to be mailed, the Form of Election (including the stock certificate transmittal materials) to all persons who are holders of record of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock on the record date for the Target Shareholders’ Meeting (as defined below), on a date that is no less than 30 business days prior to the Effective Time (or any such other date as Parent and Target may mutually agree (the “Mailing Date”)), and thereafter Parent and Target shall each use its reasonable efforts to make the Form of Election available to all persons who become holders of Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock subsequent to such day and no later than the close of business on the fifth business day prior to the Effective Time. A Form of Election must be received by the Exchange Agent in the manner described below no later than by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the 30^th day following the Mailing Date (or such other time and date as Parent and Target may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”) in order to be effective. All elections will be irrevocable.

(iv) A holder of Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock who does not submit a Form of Election which is received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline shall be deemed to have made a Combination Election. If Parent or the Exchange Agent shall determine that any purported Cash Election or Stock Election was not properly made, such purported Cash Election or Stock Election shall be deemed to be of no force and effect and the holder of shares of Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock making such purported Cash Election or Stock Election shall for purposes hereof be deemed to have made a Combination Election.

(v) All shares of Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock which are subject to Cash Elections are referred to herein as “Cash Election Shares.” All shares of Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock which are subject to Stock Elections are referred to herein as “Stock Election Shares.” If, after the results of the Forms of Election are calculated, the number of shares of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of Parent Common Stock exceeds the Stock Election Number, the Exchange Agent shall, after the Election Deadline but prior to the Effective Time, determine the number of Stock Election Shares which must be redesignated as Cash Election Shares in order to reduce the number of such shares to the Stock Election Number. All holders who have Stock Election Shares shall, on a pro rata basis, have such number of their Stock Election Shares redesignated as Cash Election Shares so that the Stock Election Number and the Cash Election Number are achieved. If, after the results of the Forms of Election are calculated, the number of shares of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock to be converted into cash exceeds the Cash Election Number, the Exchange Agent, after the Election Deadline but prior to the Effective Time, shall determine the number of Cash Election Shares which must be redesignated as Stock Election Shares in order to reduce the number of such shares to be converted into cash to the Cash Election Number. All holders who have Cash Election Shares shall, on a pro rata basis, have such number of their Cash Election Shares redesignated as Stock Election Shares so that the Cash Election Number and the Stock Election Number are achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no redesignation shall be effected for a holder who has made a Cash Election but, as a result of such redesignation, would receive fewer

than 10 shares of Parent Common Stock in exchange for all of such holder’s shares of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock. In this event, the Cash Election Shares of the remaining holders of shares of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock shall be redesignated on a pro rata basis to achieve the Cash Election Number and the Stock Election Number. Holders who make Combination Elections will not be subject to the redesignation procedures described herein. Holders of Target Dissenting Shares who are deemed to have made Cash Elections shall not be subject to the redesignation procedure described herein. Parent or the Exchange Agent shall make in good faith all computations contemplated by this Section 1.4(b)(v) and all such computations shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock.

(vi) After the redesignation procedure, if any, set forth in Section 1.4(b)(v), is completed, all Cash Election Shares and 25% of the shares of Target Common Stock (including those shares of Target Common Stock into which the shares of Target Series D Preferred Stock shall have converted immediately prior to the Effective Time) which are subject to Combination Elections shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and all Stock Election Shares and 75% of the shares of Target Common Stock (including those shares of Target Common Stock into which the shares of Target Series D Preferred Stock shall have converted immediately prior to the Effective Time) which are subject to Combination Elections shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.

(c) All of the shares of Target Common Stock (including those shares of Target Common Stock into which the shares of Target Series D Preferred Stock shall have converted immediately prior to the Effective Time) 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 Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive (i) a certificate representing the Stock Consideration in whole shares of Parent Common Stock together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.2(e); and/or (ii) the Cash Consideration deliverable with respect to the shares of Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock represented by such Certificate, into which the shares of Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to this Section 1.4 and Section 2.2(e). Certificates previously representing shares of Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock other than shares of Target Common Stock owned by Target, Parent or Acquiror (other than Trust Account Shares and DPC Shares) or Target Dissenting Shares shall be exchanged for (i) certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock, equal to the Stock Consideration, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares; and/or (ii) the Cash Consideration 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 and not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock shall have been increased, decreased or 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 equitable and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio per share payable pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of Cash Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the Effective Time, all shares of Target Capital Stock (as defined below) that are owned by Target, Parent or Acquiror (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.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock which are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and with respect to which dissenters’ rights shall have been properly demanded in accordance with Sections 48-23-201, et. seq. of the TBCA (“Target Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive, or to be exchangeable for, the Merger Consideration but, instead, the holders thereof shall be entitled to payment of the appraised value of such Target Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Sections 48-23-201, et. seq. of the TBCA; provided, however, that (i) if any holder of Target Dissenting Shares shall subsequently deliver a written withdrawal of such holder’s demand for appraisal of such shares, or (ii) if any holder fails to establish such holder’s entitlement to dissenters’ rights as provided in Sections 48-23-201, et. seq. of the TBCA, such holder or holders (as the case may be) shall forfeit the right to appraisal of such shares of Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock and each of such shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into the right to receive, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, as provided in Sections 1.4(a) and 1.4(b) and Article II hereof as if such holder or holders had made a Combination Election.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of holders of Series D Preferred Stock who have not prior to the Merger received the Certificates for said shares to receive all dividends and distributions declared and paid by Target thereon but which have not been paid to such holder (excluding however if paid to an exchange agent in escrow for such holder) prior to the Merger upon the surrender of appropriate transmittal materials.

1.5 Parent Capital Stock. At and after the Effective Time, each share of Parent Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be affected by the Merger.

1.6 Acquiror Capital Stock. At and after the Effective Time, each share of Acquiror common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall not be affected by the Merger. Schedule 1.6 sets forth the amount of Acquiror’s capital and the number of shares, and par value per share thereof, of Acquiror’s capital stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2014.

1.7 Options. Except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by Target and Parent prior to the Effective Time:

(a) Target shall ensure that, (i) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option to acquire shares of Target Common Stock (the “Target Stock Options”) issued pursuant to Target’s equity-based compensation plans identified in Section 4.12(a) of the Target Disclosure Schedule (the “Target Stock Plans”), shall become fully vested and exercisable

(without regard to whether the Target Stock Options are then vested or exercisable), (ii) at the Effective Time all Target Stock Options not theretofore exercised shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, converted into the right to receive a cash payment from the Surviving Corporation (the “Cash Out Amount”) in an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of $14.32 over the exercise price of each such Target Stock Option and (y) the number of shares of Target Common Stock subject to such option to the extent not previously exercised (such payment, if any, to be net of applicable Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 2.3), and (iii) after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Target Stock Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Cash Out Amount, without interest. In the event the exercise price per share of Target Common Stock subject to a Target Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Cash Consideration, such Target Stock Option shall be cancelled without consideration and have no further force or effect.

(b) Target shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that, as of the Effective Time, the Target Stock Plans shall terminate and that no person shall have any right under the Target Stock Plans, except as set forth herein (including, to the extent necessary, using reasonable best efforts to obtain any necessary consents of the holders of Target Stock Options in order to give effect to this Section 1.7.

(c) At or promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, deliver the Cash Out Amount to the holders of Target Stock Options, without interest.

1.8 SBLF Redemption. Target and Parent each shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause or facilitate the redemption as of immediately prior to or concurrently with the Effective Time of each share of Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, par value $1.00 per share (the “Target Series C Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding in such amount as shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Target Series C Preferred Stock (as defined in Section 4.2(a)) set forth in the Target Charter and the terms of any purchase agreement entered into by Target in connection with the issuance of the Target Series C Preferred Stock (the “SBLF Redemption”). Parent or Acquiror shall make all payments necessary to fund the SBLF Redemption. In furtherance of the foregoing, Target shall provide, and shall cause its officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives, to provide, all reasonable cooperation and take all reasonable actions as may be requested by Parent or Acquiror in connection with such SBLF Redemption, including by (i) furnishing all information concerning Target that Parent or Acquiror or any applicable Regulatory Agency (as defined below) or Governmental Entity may request in connection with such redemption or with respect to the effects of such SBLF Redemption on Acquiror or its pro forma capitalization; (ii) assisting with the preparation of any analyses or presentations Parent or Acquiror deems necessary or advisable in its reasonable judgment in connection with such redemption or the effects thereof; and (iii) entering into any agreement with the holder of the Target Series C Preferred Stock to effect the redemption of such shares as Parent or Acquiror may reasonably request. Such Target Series C Preferred Stock shall, at the Effective Time, cease to exist, and the certificates for such shares shall be cancelled as promptly as practicable thereafter, and no payment or distribution (other than the amount necessary to accomplish the SBLF Redemption) shall be made in consideration therefor.

1.9 Charter. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Charter of Acquiror, as then amended (the “Acquiror Charter”), shall be the Charter of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law.

1.10 Bylaws. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Acquiror, as then amended (the “Bylaws”), shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law.

1.11 Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” for the purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

1.12 Officers and Directors of Surviving Corporation. The officers and directors of Acquiror as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue as the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation. The names and addresses of these individuals are set forth on Schedule 1.12 attached hereto.

1.13 Appointment of Target Director to Parent’s and Acquiror’s Board of Directors. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Parent and Acquiror shall take all requisite action to elect Thomas C. Farnsworth, III, or if he is unwilling or unable to serve, another member of Target’s Board of Directors as of the date hereof designated by Parent, to Parent’s and Acquiror’s Boards of Directors.

1.14 Offices of Acquiror and Target; Headquarters of Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the location of the headquarters and principal executive offices of the Surviving Corporation shall be 150 3^rd Avenue South, Suite 900, Nashville, Tennessee 37201, which is the headquarters and principal executive offices of Acquiror as of the date hereof. As of the date hereof, Acquiror and Target maintain offices at the locations set forth on Schedule 1.14 attached hereto.

1.15 Approval of Shareholders and Commissioner. Prior to consummation of the Merger, this Agreement shall be approved by the shareholders of each of Target and Acquiror entitled to vote on the Merger (which in the case of Acquiror either is not required or has already been obtained), and shall also be approved by the Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions.

ARTICLE II.

DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

2.1 Deposit of Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to each of Target, Parent and Acquiror (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, the Cash Consideration, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock constituting the Stock Consideration and cash in lieu of any fractional shares with respect to the Stock Consideration (such cash and certificates

for shares of Parent 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 shares of Target Common Stock and Target Series D Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any other rights of ownership with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends and other distributions payable or distributable with respect to such shares for the account of the persons entitled thereto.

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 who has not previously surrendered such Certificates with a Form of Election a letter of transmittal in customary form as reasonably agreed by the parties hereto (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss of 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 the Merger Consideration. Upon proper surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate or Certificates for exchange and cancellation, together with such properly completed and duly executed Form of Election and letter of transmittal in such form as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Certificate or Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) the Merger Consideration that such holder of the Certificate shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article I; and (ii) a check representing the amount of any dividends or distributions that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(b), 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 Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby until the holder thereof shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of a 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 Parent Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

(c) If any certificate representing shares of Parent 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 Parent 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 reasonable 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 Target of the shares of Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred 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 the Merger Consideration.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of Certificates for exchange, no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent 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 Parent. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall pay to each former shareholder of Target who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the average of the closing prices of Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”), or such other securities market or stock exchange on which the Parent Common Stock then principally trades, for the ten (10) trading days ending on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date by (ii) the fraction of a share (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent 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 Target as of the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent. Any former shareholders of Target who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of Target Common Stock (including such shares of Target Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Target Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time) such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Target, Parent, Acquiror, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Target Common Stock or Target Series D Preferred Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(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 Parent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent 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 the Merger Consideration in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.

2.3 Withholding. Each of Parent, Target and the Surviving Corporation is entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of Target Common Stock (including shares of Target Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Target Series D Preferred Stock) or Target Stock Options such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would be otherwise have been paid.

Each of Target and Parent 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 Target shall thereafter promptly mail or deliver the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to its shareholders. Parent 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 Target shall furnish all information concerning Target and the holders of Target 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 any of the parties, or their respective affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by a party,

which information should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Form S-4 or the 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 such information shall promptly notify the other parties 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 or made available on the SEC’s EDGAR database to the shareholders of Parent and mailed or delivered to the shareholders of Target.

(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, waivers, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities or Regulatory Agencies which are reasonably 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, waivers, approvals and authorizations of all such Governmental Entities, Regulatory Agencies and third parties; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent or Acquiror be required to agree to any prohibition, limitation, or other requirement which (i) would prohibit or materially limit the ownership or operation by Target, or by Parent or Acquiror or any of their Subsidiaries, of all or any material portion of the business or assets of Target or Parent or Acquiror or any of their Subsidiaries, (ii) compel Parent or Acquiror or any of their Subsidiaries to dispose of all or any material portion of the business or assets of Target or of Parent or Acquiror or any of their Subsidiaries or continue any portion of any Target Regulatory Agreement against Parent or Acquiror or any of their Subsidiaries after the Merger or (iii) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent after giving effect to the Merger (together, the “Burdensome Conditions”), provided, further, however, that (1) any prohibition, limitation or other requirement imposed by a Governmental Entity or Regulatory Agency which is customarily imposed in published orders or approvals for transactions such as the Merger shall not be deemed to be a Burdensome Condition and (2) prior to declaring a Burdensome Condition and electing not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as a result thereof, Parent and Acquiror shall negotiate in good faith with the relevant Governmental Entity or Regulatory Agency to seek a commercially reasonable modification to the prohibition, limitation or other requirement to reduce the burdensome nature thereof such that the prohibition, limitation or other requirement no longer constitutes a Burdensome Condition. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as soon as practicable and in no event later than thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement, Parent and Acquiror shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, each prepare and file any applications, notices and filings required in order to obtain the Requisite Regulatory Approvals. The parties hereto agree that they will consult with each other party hereto with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, waivers, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities or Regulatory Agencies necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the others apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated herein. Parent and Acquiror, on the one hand, and Target, on the other hand, will furnish each other and each other’s counsel with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, trustees, officers and shareholders and such other matters as reasonably may be necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any application, petition or other statement or application made by or on behalf of Parent or

Acquiror or Target to any Governmental Entity or Regulatory Agency in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent and Acquiror, on the one hand, and Target, on the other hand, 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 Parent and Acquiror or Target, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity or Regulatory Agency 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. Each party will provide the other with copies of any applications, notices, petitions or filings, and all correspondence relating thereto, prior to filing, other than any portions of material filed in connection therewith that contain information filed under a claim of confidentiality (except for the Interagency Bank Merger Act Application) and, in each case, subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information.

(c) Each of Target, on the one hand, and Acquiror or Parent, on the other hand, 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 Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Form S-4 or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Target, Parent, Acquiror or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity or Regulatory Agency in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Parent and Acquiror, on the one hand, and Target, on the other hand, agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, (i) that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Form S-4 will, at the time the Form S-4 and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to shareholders and at the time of the Target Shareholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make any statement therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statement was made, not misleading. Each of Parent and Acquiror, on the one hand, and Target, on the other hand, further agrees that if it becomes aware that any information furnished by it would cause any of the statements in the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take appropriate steps to correct the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

(d) Each of Target, on the one hand, and Parent or Acquiror, on the other hand, shall promptly advise the other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity or Regulatory Agency 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 will not be obtained, that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed or that a Burdensome Condition might be imposed on any such Requisite Regulatory Approval.

(e) Parent and Acquiror, on the one hand, and Target, on the other hand, shall promptly furnish each other with copies of written communications received by Parent, Acquiror or Target, as the case may be, or delivered by either of Parent, Acquiror or Target, to any Governmental Entity or Regulatory Agency 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, Target shall, and shall cause each Target Subsidiary to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of Parent or Acquiror, reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all of Target’s and the Target Subsidiaries’ properties, books, contracts, commitments and records and, during such period. Target shall, and shall cause each Target Subsidiary to, make available to Parent or Acquiror (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 Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries is not permitted to disclose under applicable law) and (ii) all other information concerning Target’s or any of the Target Subsidiaries’, as the case may be, business, properties and personnel as Parent or Acquiror may reasonably request. Neither Target nor any of the Target Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of their customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege attached to 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) The Mutual Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement dated as of January 29, 2015, entered into by and between Parent and Target (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) will remain in full force and effect following the date of this Agreement, whether or not the Merger occurs, in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, however, that, effective as of the Effective Time, all confidential information of Target will be deemed to be “Confidential Information” of Parent and will be subject to the protections set forth therein for the benefit of Parent.

(c) No investigation by any of the parties or their respective representatives pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall affect the representations and warranties of the other party or parties set forth herein.

6.3 Shareholder Approval.

(a) Target shall take, in accordance with applicable law and the Target Charter and Target’s Bylaws, all action necessary to convene a meeting of its shareholders (the “Target Shareholders’ Meeting”) to be held as soon as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective for the purpose of Target’s shareholders voting upon proposals to adopt and approve this Agreement and the Merger. The Board of Directors of Target shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the shareholders of Target that are entitled to vote on the Merger the

vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby required by the TBCA, the TBA, the Target Charter and Target’s Bylaws, including (subject to the ability of the Target Board of Directors to take actions permitted under Section 6.10) by communicating to its shareholders its recommendation (and including such recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) that the shareholders approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (such approval the “Target Shareholder Approval”).

(b) Target shall adjourn or postpone the Target Shareholders’ Meeting if, (i) as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled there are insufficient shares of Target Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or (ii) if on the date of such meeting Target has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated, this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of Target at the Target Shareholders’ Meeting for the purpose of Target’s shareholders voting on the approval and adoption of this Agreement and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve Target of such obligations.

6.4 Legal Conditions to Merger. Each of Target, Parent and Acquiror shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions reasonably 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 parties to obtain) any material consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity or Regulatory Agency and any other third party that is required to be obtained by Parent, Acquiror or Target in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.5 Stock Quotation or Listing. Parent shall cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger to be qualified for quotation or listing on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time.

6.6 Employee Benefit Plans; Existing Agreements.

(a) Within one year following the Effective Time (but, in the case of the Parent’s 401(k) Plan, beginning with the first full payroll period that commences following the Effective Time or as soon thereafter as is administratively practicable), to the extent permissible under the terms of the Parent Benefit Plans and the cash and equity incentive plans of Parent (the “Parent Incentive Plans”), the employees of Target and the Target Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (the “Target Employees”) will be eligible to participate in the Parent Benefit Plans and the Parent Incentive Plans in which similarly situated employees of Acquiror or its Subsidiaries participate, to the same extent as similarly situated employees of Acquiror or its Subsidiaries (it being understood that inclusion of Target Employees in the Parent Benefit Plans and the Parent Incentive Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans) except as provided below.

(b) To the extent not prohibited by applicable legal requirements, the employees of Target employed by Acquiror or any of its Affiliates after the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) shall, for a period of at least nine (9) months following the Effective Time (the “Protected Period”), be entitled to the same or better annual salary or hourly wages to which the Continuing Employees were entitled on the Closing Date.

(c) With regard to Target Employees identified on Schedule 6.6(c), and to the extent that during the Protected Period a Continuing Employee other than a Target Employee identified on Schedule 6.6(c) is terminated without cause, Acquiror shall pay or cause to be paid, severance pay in an amount equal to the amounts set forth on Schedule 6.6(c). For purposes of this Section 6.6, “cause” shall have the same meaning as provided in any employment agreement between any Continuing Employee and Parent or any Affiliate of Parent on the date such Continuing Employee is terminated, or if no such definition or employment agreement exists, “cause” shall mean conduct amounting to (1) fraud or dishonesty against Parent or any Affiliate of Parent; (2) the Continuing Employee’s willful misconduct, repeated refusal to follow the reasonable directions of the Parent’s Board of Directors or knowing violation of law in the course of performance of the duties of the Continuing Employee’s service with Parent or any Affiliate of Parent; (3) repeated absences from work without a reasonable excuse; (4) repeated intoxication with alcohol or drugs while on the premises of Parent or any Affiliate of Parent during regular business hours; (5) a conviction or plea of guilty or NOLO CONTENDERE to a felony or a crime involving dishonesty; or (6) a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement to which the Continuing Employee and Parent or any Affiliate of Parent are party.

(d) With respect to each Parent Benefit 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, but not for purposes of benefit accrual, service with Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries shall be treated as service with Acquiror; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Such service also shall to the extent permissible under the terms of the Parent Benefit Plans and as permitted by the applicable insurer, apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any preexisting condition limitations. Each Parent Benefit Plan shall to the extent permissible under the terms of the Parent Benefit Plans and as permitted by the applicable insurer, waive pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent waived under the applicable Target Benefit Plan. Target Employees shall be given credit for amounts paid under a corresponding benefit plan during the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, copayments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Parent Benefit Plans and to the extent permissible by the applicable insurer.

(e) From and after the Effective Time, Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, will assume and honor in accordance with their terms all employment, severance, change of control and other compensation agreements and arrangements between Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries and any of their employees (that are listed on Section 6.6(e) of the Target Disclosure Schedule), which are not terminated in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all accrued and vested benefit obligations through the Effective Time which are between Target and the Target Subsidiaries and any of their current or former directors, officers, employees or consultants.

(f) From and after the Effective Time, Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, will, and will cause any applicable Parent Benefit Plan, to provide or pay when due to Target Employees all benefits and compensation pursuant to Target Benefit Plans 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 Target Benefit Plans as in effect at the Effective Time are terminated or canceled by Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation) subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) At the Effective Time, Target shall, and shall cause each Target Subsidiary to, cease contributions to and terminate any 401(k) Plan, and shall (a) adopt written resolutions (a copy of which shall be delivered to Parent and Acquiror at the Closing), to terminate the 401(k) Plan and 100% vest all participants under the 401(k) Plan, such termination and vesting to be effective immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) deliver to Parent and Acquiror, prior to the Closing, notice of the 401(k) Plan termination to any trustees and custodians of the 401(k) Plan and/or its assets. Parent and Acquiror reserve the right to suspend the distribution of benefits from the 401(k) Plan until the later of the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS with respect to the termination of the 401(k) Plan and the completion of final testing and record keeping for the 401(k) Plan.

6.7 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 Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries, or who is or was serving at the request of Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee or agent of another person, including any entity specified in the Target 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 Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors or is or was serving at the request of Target or any of its predecessors as a director, officer, employee or agent of another person 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, Parent and Acquiror shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party to the same extent as such Indemnified Party is indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by Target pursuant to the Target Charter, Target’s Bylaws or comparable documents of any of the Target Subsidiaries and any indemnification agreements in existence as of the date hereof (copies of which have been provided to Parent and Acquiror) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party upon receipt of an undertaking (in reasonable and customary form) to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such

Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(b) Subject to the following sentence, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Target (provided, that the Parent and the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims against the present and former officers and directors of Target and the Target Subsidiaries arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that the Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to expend, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of 250% of the aggregate annual premium paid as of the date hereof by Target for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which, in the Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, Target, in consultation with Parent, may (and at the request of Parent, Target shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a six-year “tail” policy under Target’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Premium Cap.

(c) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their 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 Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as appropriate, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.7 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.

6.8 Additional Agreements. In case at any time before or after the Effective Time any further action is reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement 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 the other parties to this Agreement.

6.9 Advice of Changes. Each of Target, on the one hand, and Parent and Acquiror, on the other hand, shall promptly advise the other party or parties to this Agreement of any fact, change, event or circumstance (i) that has had or is reasonably likely to have 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 or that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article VII; 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 this Agreement; provided further that a failure to comply with this Section 6.9 shall not constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Article VII to be satisfied unless the underlying fact, change, event or circumstance would independently result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article VII to be satisfied or provide a basis for terminating this Agreement.

6.10 Acquisition Proposals; Board Recommendation.

(a) Target and the Target 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 Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries (each a “Target Representative”)) 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. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.10(b), from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, Target shall not, and shall cause each Target Subsidiary not to, authorize or permit any Target Representative to, directly or indirectly through another person, (i) solicit, initiate, facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing information or assistance), or take any other action designed to solicit, initiate, 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, negotiations or other communications regarding any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Acquisition Proposal or (iv) provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to any person relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any Target Representative, whether or not such Target Representative is so authorized and whether or not such Target Representative is purporting to act on behalf of Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by Target.

(b)

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of Target shall be permitted, prior to the Target Shareholders’ Meeting, 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 if and only to the extent that the Board of Directors of Target concludes in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside legal counsel and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that failure to take such actions would result in violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law and subject to compliance with the other terms of this Section 6.10; provided, however, that, prior to providing any nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing proviso, Target shall have provided notice to Parent and Acquiror of its intention to provide such information, and shall have provided such information to Parent and Acquiror if not previously provided to Parent and Acquiror, and shall

have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to it than the Confidentiality Agreement, which confidentiality agreement shall include customary non-disclosure, confidentiality, standstill and non-solicitation and no-hire provisions and not provide such person with any exclusive right to negotiate with Target.

(ii) In addition to the obligations of Target under Section 6.10(d), Target shall notify Parent and Acquiror promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, or any request for nonpublic information relating to Target or any of the Target Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry from any person seeking to have discussions, negotiations or other communications 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, requests, proposals or offers (including a copy thereof if in writing and any related documentation or correspondence). Target shall also promptly, and in any event within 48 hours, notify Parent and Acquiror, orally and in writing, if it enters into discussions, negotiations or other communications concerning any Acquisition Proposal or provides nonpublic information or data to any person in accordance with this Section 6.10(b) and keep Parent and Acquiror 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 6.10 shall prohibit Target or any of the Target 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.

(c) Target agrees that (i) it will and will cause each Target Subsidiary and the Target Representatives to, cease immediately and terminate any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any third parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) it will not release any third party from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or any of the Target Subsidiaries is a party with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Target’s Board of Directors shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, amend, modify, change or qualify (or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, modify, change or qualify), in a manner adverse in any respect to the interests of Parent or Acquiror, its recommendation referred to in Section 6.3(a), or (ii) approve or recommend (or publicly propose to approve or recommend or announce its intention to approve, recommend or propose) any Acquisition Proposal (either (i) or (ii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Target shall not, and Target’s Board of Directors shall not allow Target to, enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time before obtaining the Target Shareholder Approval, Target’s Board of Directors may, if it determines in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside legal counsel and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that the failure

to do so would violate its fiduciary duties under applicable law, taking into account all adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered by Parent and Acquiror under this Section 6.10(d), make an Adverse Recommendation Change; provided that Target may not make any Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Acquisition Proposal unless (x) Target shall not have breached Section 6.3 or this Section 6.10 in any material respect and (y):

(i) within three (3) business days after notice to Parent and Acquiror of receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, Target’s Board of Directors determines in good faith (after receiving advice from its outside legal counsel and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal and such Superior Proposal has been made and has not been withdrawn and continues to be a Superior Proposal after taking into account all adjustments to the terms of this Agreement that may be offered by Parent and Acquiror under this Section 6.10(d);

(ii) Target has given each of Parent and Acquiror at least six (6) business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action (which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal)) and has contemporaneously provided an unredacted copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with the person making such Superior Proposal;

(iii) Before effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change, Target has negotiated, and has caused Target Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent and Acquiror during such notice period to the extent Parent or Acquiror wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent or Acquiror to revise the terms of this Agreement such that it would cause such Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal; and

(iv) Target’s Board of Directors, following the final of such six (6) (or three (3), as applicable) business day period (as described below) again determines in good faith (after receiving advice from its outside legal counsel and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal nonetheless continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that failure to take such action would violate its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

In the event of any material change to the terms of such Superior Proposal, Target shall, in each case, be required to deliver to Parent and Acquiror a new written notice, the notice period shall have recommenced and Target shall be required to comply with its obligations under this Section 6.10(d) with respect to such new written notice, except that the deadline for such new written notice shall be reduced to three (3) business days (rather than the six (6) business days referenced in clause (D) above).

(e) Subject to Section 8.1(j) (and in that case, only if Target shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under Section 6.3 and this Section 6.10), nothing in this Section 6.10 shall permit Target to terminate this Agreement or affect any other obligation of Target under this Agreement.

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 6.7, and, from and after the Effective Time, but only if the Effective Time shall occur, except for the rights of holders of Target Common Stock (including the shares of Target Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Target Series D Preferred Stock) to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Article II, and the rights of holders of Target Stock Options under Section 1.7, this Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder. Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance herewith without notice or liability to any other person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, persons other than the parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

9.14 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction such that the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

9.15 Delivery by Facsimile or Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

9.16 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
