sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger and shall continue to be governed by the TBCA and its name and separate corporate existence, with all of its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected by the Merger.

2.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place by the electronic (PDF), facsimile or overnight courier exchange of executed documents or at a location and time as agreed to by the parties hereto on the date designated by Purchaser within fifteen (15) calendar days following satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable law) of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), or such later date as the parties may otherwise agree (the “Closing Date”).

2.3 Effective Time. In connection with the Closing, Purchaser and the Company shall duly execute and deliver articles of merger to the Tennessee Secretary, to the extent required by the relevant provision of the TBCA (the “Articles of Merger”). The Merger shall become effective when the Articles of Merger are duly filed or at such later date or time as Purchaser and the Company agree and specify in the Articles of Merger (the date and time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

2.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger will have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the TBCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall possess all of the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and be subject to all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company.

2.5 Effect on Outstanding Shares of Company Common Stock.

(a) Subject toSection 2.5(b), by virtue of the Merger, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Excluded Shares, shall become and be converted into the right to receive, without interest, 2.864 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Purchaser Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor will be issued in the Merger; instead, Purchaser shall pay to each holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Purchaser Common Stock an amount in cash, rounded to the nearest cent, determined by multiplying such fraction by the Average Closing Price.

(c) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Purchaser Common Stock or Company Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or into a different kind of shares or securities by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change in capitalization, or there shall be any extraordinary dividend or distribution (for the avoidance of doubt, any quarterly cash dividend declared by the Company or Purchaser shall not be considered an extraordinary dividend of distribution) paid, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted appropriately and proportionately to provide the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement before such event;provided, that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to permit Purchaser or the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(d) As of the Effective Time, except for Dissenting Shares, each Excluded Share shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no exchange or payment shall be made with respect thereto. All shares of Purchaser Common Stock that are held by the Company, if any, other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted, shall be canceled and shall constitute authorized but unissued shares.

2.6 Dissenter’s Rights. Each outstanding share of Company Common Stock, the holder of which has perfected his right to dissent under the TBCA (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) and has not effectively withdrawn

or lost such right as of the Effective Time (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration hereunder and shall be entitled only to such rights as are available to such holder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the TBCA. Each holder of a Dissenting Share shall be entitled to receive the value of such Dissenting Share held by him in accordance with the applicable provisions of the TBCA;provided, that such holder complies with the procedures contemplated by and set forth in the applicable provisions of the TBCA. If any holder of any Dissenting Share shall effectively withdraw or lose such holder’s dissenter’s rights under the applicable provisions of the TBCA, each such Dissenting Share shall be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant toSection 2.5(b). The Company shall promptly notify Purchaser of each stockholder who asserts rights as a Dissenting Stockholder following receipt of such stockholder’s written demand delivered as provided in the TBCA. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Purchaser, voluntarily make any payment or commit or agree to make any payment, or settle or commit or offer to settle, any rights of a Dissenting Stockholder asserted under the TBCA.

2.7 Exchange Procedures.

(a) At or before the Effective Time, Purchaser shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), pursuant to an agreement entered into before the Closing, for the benefit of the holders of record of shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, for exchange in accordance with thisSection 2.7, (i) the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Merger Consideration and (ii) any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant toSection 2.5(b), and Purchaser shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely deliver the Merger Consideration. Appropriate transmittal materials (“Letter of Transmittal”) shall be mailed as soon as practicable after the Effective Time to each holder of record of Company Common Stock. A Letter of Transmittal will be deemed properly completed only if the completed Letter of Transmittal is accompanied by one or more Certificates representing Company Common Stock (or customary affidavits and, if required by Purchaser pursuant toSection 2.7(h), indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such Certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such Certificates) representing all shares of Company Common Stock to be converted thereby.

(b) At and after the Effective Time, each Certificate shall represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and as to Dissenting Shares, shall represent only the right to receive applicable payments as set forth inSection 2.6. The Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform its obligations as specified herein.

(c) The Letter of Transmittal shall (i) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, (ii) be in a form and contain any other provisions as Purchaser may reasonably determine and (iii) include instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon the proper surrender of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate, or, at the election of Purchaser, a statement reflecting shares issued in book entry form, representing that number of whole shares of Purchaser Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant toSection 2.5(a) and a check in the amount equal to any cash in lieu of fractional shares such holder is entitled to pursuant toSection 2.5(b) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled to pursuant toSection 2.7(d). Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. As soon as practicable following receipt of the properly completed Letter of Transmittal and any necessary accompanying documentation, the Exchange Agent shall distribute Purchaser Common Stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided herein. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such shares for the account of the Persons entitled thereto. If there is a transfer of ownership of any shares of Company Common

Stock not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration shall be issued to the transferee thereof if the Certificates representing such Company Common Stock are presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser and the Exchange Agent, to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

(d) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Purchaser Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be remitted to any Person entitled to receive shares of Purchaser Common Stock hereunder until such Person surrenders his or her Certificates in accordance with thisSection 2.7. Upon the surrender of such Person’s Certificates, such Person shall be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, which after the Effective Time had become payable but not paid with respect to shares of Purchaser Common Stock represented by such Person’s Certificates.

(e) The stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and from and after the Effective Time there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer records of the Company of any shares of Company Common Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to Purchaser, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth in thisSection 2.7.

(f) Any portion of the aggregate amount of cash to be paid in lieu of fractions of a share pursuant toSection 2.5, any dividends or other distributions to be paid pursuant to thisSection 2.7 or any proceeds from any investments thereof that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Common Stock for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be repaid by the Exchange Agent to Purchaser upon the written request of Purchaser. After such request is made, each holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with thisSection 2.7 shall look only to Purchaser for the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock such stockholder holds, as determined pursuant toSection 2.5 of this Agreement, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party to this Agreement (or any Affiliate thereof) shall be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(g) Purchaser and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Company’s stock transfer books to establish the identity of those Persons entitled to receive the Merger Consideration, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. The Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform its obligations as specified herein. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate, Purchaser and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any Merger Consideration represented thereby in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(h) If 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 the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant toSection 2.5.

2.8 Effect on Outstanding Shares of Purchaser Common Stock. At the Effective Time, and except as provided inSection 2.5(d), each share of Purchaser Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before 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.

2.9 Directors of Surviving Corporation After Effective Time. Immediately after the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, the directors of the Surviving Corporation

statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets, and (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization.

To the Knowledge of the Company, there has occurred no fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Purchaser has previously made available a complete and correct copy of the articles of incorporation, bylaws and similar organizational documents of Purchaser and each of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries, as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. Neither Purchaser nor any of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries is in violation of its articles of incorporation, bylaws or similar organizational documents. The minute books of Purchaser and each of Purchaser’s Subsidiaries constitute a complete and correct record of all actions taken by their respective boards of directors (and each committee thereof) and their stockholders.

(w)CRA, Anti-Money Laundering, OFAC and Customer Information Security. Purchaser Bank has received a rating of “Satisfactory” or better in its most recent examination or interim review with respect to the CRA. Purchaser does not have Knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would cause Purchaser Bank or any other Subsidiary of Purchaser: (i) to be deemed not to be in satisfactory compliance in any material respect with the CRA, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or to be assigned a rating for CRA purposes by federal bank regulators of lower than “Satisfactory”; or (ii) to be deemed to be operating in violation in any material respect of the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, any order issued with respect to anti-money laundering by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other applicable anti-money laundering statute, rule or regulation; or (iii) to be deemed not to be in satisfactory compliance in any material respect with the applicable privacy of customer information requirements contained in any federal and state privacy laws and regulations, including without limitation, in Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as well as the provisions of the information security program adopted by Purchaser Bank. No non-public customer information has been disclosed to or, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, accessed by an unauthorized third party in a manner that would cause either Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries to undertake any remedial action. The Board of Directors of Purchaser Bank (or where appropriate of any other Subsidiary of Purchaser) has adopted, and Purchaser Bank (or such other Subsidiary of Purchaser) has implemented, an anti-money laundering program that contains adequate and appropriate customer identification verification procedures that comply with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and such anti-money laundering program meets the requirements in all material respects of Section 352 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the regulations thereunder, and Purchaser Bank (or such other Subsidiary of Purchaser) has complied in all material respects with any requirements to file reports and other necessary documents as required by the USA PATRIOT Act and the regulations thereunder.

(x)Internal Controls. Purchaser and its Subsidiaries have devised and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act sufficient to provide

reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets, and (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization. There are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material respect Purchaser’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information. To the Knowledge of Purchaser, there has occurred no fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Purchaser’s internal controls over financial reporting. Since January 1, 2015, neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, any Representative of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation or assertion regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods (including with respect to loan loss reserves, write-downs, charge-offs and accruals) of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective internal accounting controls.

(y)Tax Treatment of the Merger. Purchaser has no Knowledge of any fact or circumstance relating to it that would prevent the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the IRC.

(z)Fairness Opinion. The Board of Directors of Purchaser has received the respective opinions (which, if initially rendered verbally, have been or will be confirmed by written opinions, dated the same date) of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth therein, the Exchange Ratio in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to Purchaser. Such opinion has not been amended or rescinded as of the date hereof.

(aa)Environmental Matters. Each of Purchaser’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties, the Participation Facilities, and, to the Knowledge of Purchaser, the Loan Properties, are, and have been during the period of Purchaser’s or its Subsidiaries’ ownership or operation thereof, in material compliance with all Environmental Laws.

(bb)Insurance. Purchaser and its Subsidiaries are presently insured for amounts deemed reasonable by management of Purchaser against such risks as companies engaged in a similar business, including engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, would, in accordance with good business practice, customarily be insured. All of the insurance policies and bonds maintained by Purchaser and its Subsidiaries are in full force and effect, Purchaser and its Subsidiaries are not in default thereunder, all premiums and other payments due under any such policy have been paid and all material claims thereunder have been filed in due and timely fashion.

(cc)Intellectual Property; Purchaser IT Systems.

(i) Purchaser and each of its Subsidiaries owns or possesses valid and binding licenses and other rights to use (in the manner and the geographic areas in which they are currently used) without payment all intellectual property, including patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, service marks and trademarks, material to its business. As used in this Agreement, the term the “Purchaser Intellectual Property” means all material trademarks, trade names, service marks and copyrights owned by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries for use in its business, and all licenses and other agreements relating thereto and all agreements relating to third party intellectual property that Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries is licensed or authorized to use in its business, including without limitation any software licenses but excluding any so-called “shrink-wrap” license agreements and other similar computer software licensed in the ordinary course of business and/or otherwise resident on

desktop computers. With respect to each item of Purchaser Intellectual Property owned by Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries, the owner possesses all right, title and interest in and to the item, free and clear of any Lien. With respect to each item of Purchaser Intellectual Property that Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries is licensed or authorized to use, the license, sublicense or agreement covering such item is legal, valid, binding, enforceable and in full force and effect as to Purchaser and the Subsidiaries. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any charge, complaint, claim, demand or notice alleging any interference, infringement, misappropriation or violation with or of any intellectual property rights of a third party (including any claims that Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries must license or refrain from using any intellectual property rights of a third party). To the Knowledge of Purchaser, neither Purchaser nor any of its Subsidiaries has interfered with, infringed upon, misappropriated or otherwise come into conflict with any intellectual property rights of third parties and no third party has interfered with, infringed upon, misappropriated or otherwise come into conflict with any intellectual property rights of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries.

(ii) To Purchaser’s Knowledge, all information technology and computer systems (including software, information technology and telecommunication hardware and other equipment) relating to the transmission, storage, maintenance, organization, presentation, generation, processing or analysis of data and information, whether or not in electronic format, used in or necessary to the conduct of the business of Purchaser or Purchaser Bank (collectively, “Purchaser IT Systems”) have been properly maintained by technically competent personnel, in accordance with standards set by the manufacturers or otherwise in accordance with standards in the industry, to ensure proper operation, monitoring and use. Purchaser IT Systems are in good working condition to effectively perform all information technology operations necessary to conduct Purchaser’s consolidated business as currently conducted. Neither Purchaser nor Purchaser Bank has experienced within the past two years any material disruption to, or material interruption in, the conduct of its business attributable to a defect, bug, breakdown or other failure or deficiency of Purchaser IT Systems. No Person has gained unauthorized access to any of the Purchaser IT Systems that has had, or is reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Purchaser. Purchaser and Purchaser Bank have taken reasonable measures to provide for the back-up and recovery of the data and information necessary to the conduct of their businesses without material disruption to, or material interruption in, the conduct of their respective businesses. Purchaser and its Subsidiaries comply in all material respects with all data protection and privacy laws and regulations as well as their own policies relating to data protection and the privacy and security of personal data and the non-public personal information of their respective customers and employees, except for immaterial failures to comply or immaterial violations.

(dd)No Other Representations or Warranties.

(i) Except for the representations and warranties made by Purchaser in thisSection 3.3, neither Purchaser nor any other Person makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Purchaser, its Subsidiaries, or their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, conditions (financial or otherwise) or prospects, and Purchaser hereby disclaims any such other representations or warranties. In particular, without limiting the foregoing disclaimer, neither Purchaser nor any other Person makes or has made any representation or warranty to the Company or any of its Affiliates or representatives with respect to (A) any financial projection, forecast, estimate, budget or prospective information relating to Purchaser, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, or (B) except for the representations and warranties made by Purchaser in thisSection 3.3, any oral or written information presented to the Company or any of its Affiliates or representatives in the course of their due diligence investigation of Purchaser, the negotiation of this Agreement or in the course of the transactions contemplated hereby.

The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and shall use their reasonable best efforts to prepare and file as soon as practicable after the date hereof, all necessary applications, notices and filings to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all Governmental Entities that are necessary or

advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Purchaser and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other on, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to Purchaser and the Company, as applicable, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Entity pursuant to thisSection 5.4(a). In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

(b) As soon as practicable after the date hereof, each of the parties hereto shall, and they shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any consent, authorization or approval of any third party that is required to be obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Purchaser and the Company shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that such consent or approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such required consent or approval will be materially delayed.

5.5 Anti-Takeover Provisions. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall take all steps required by any relevant federal or state law or regulation or under any relevant agreement or other document to exempt or continue to exempt Purchaser, this Agreement, the Plan of Bank Merger, the Merger and the Bank Merger from any provisions of an anti-takeover nature in the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ charter and bylaws, or similar organizational documents, and the provisions of any federal or state anti-takeover laws.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Purchaser or its Affiliates to agree to, and without the prior consent of Purchaser the Company and its subsidiaries shall not agree to, in connection with obtaining any actions or non-actions, extensions, waivers, consents or approvals of any Governmental Entity any condition or requirement that would so materially and adversely impact the economic or business benefits to Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby that, had such condition or requirement been known, Purchaser would not, in its reasonable judgment, have entered into this Agreement (such condition or requirement, a “Burdensome Condition”).

5.7 Publicity. The initial press release announcing this Agreement shall be a joint press release. Thereafter, the Company and Purchaser shall consult with each other and to obtain the advance approval of the other party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before issuing any press releases or, to the extent practical, otherwise making public statements (including any written communications to stockholders) with respect to the Merger and any other transaction contemplated hereby;provided,however, that nothing in thisSection 5.7 shall be deemed to prohibit any party from making any

disclosure (i) that its counsel deems necessary to satisfy such party’s disclosure obligations imposed by law, (ii) at the request of a Governmental Entity or (iii) that is substantially similar to communications previously approved pursuant to thisSection 5.7.

5.8 Stockholder Meetings.

(a) Purchaser shall submit to its stockholders this Agreement and any other matters required to be approved or adopted by stockholders to carry out the intentions of this Agreement. In furtherance of that obligation, Purchaser will take, in accordance with applicable law and its articles of incorporation and bylaws, all action necessary to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Purchaser Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as practicable to consider and vote on approval and adoption of this Agreement and the transactions provided for in this Agreement. Subject only to applicable law, Purchaser shall, (i) through its Board of Directors, recommend to its stockholders the adoption and approval of this Agreement, (ii) include such recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain from its stockholders a vote approving and adopting this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall submit to its stockholders this Agreement and any other matters required to be approved or adopted by stockholders to carry out the intentions of this Agreement. In furtherance of that obligation, the Company will take, in accordance with applicable law and its charter and bylaws, all action necessary to call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as practicable to consider and vote on approval and adoption of this Agreement and the transactions provided for in this Agreement. Subject toSection 5.8(c), the Company shall, (i) through its Board of Directors, recommend to its stockholders the adoption and approval of this Agreement, (ii) include such recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to obtain from its stockholders a vote approving and adopting this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time before the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors may, if it concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal advisors) that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, withdraw or modify or change in a manner adverse to Purchaser its recommendation that the stockholders of the Company approve this Agreement (a “Change of Recommendation”) (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended);provided that before any such Change of Recommendation, the Company shall have complied withSection 5.1, given Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice advising it of the intention of the Company’s Board of Directors to take such action and a reasonable description of the event or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action and, if the decision relates to an Acquisition Proposal, given Purchaser the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, including the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal and any written materials received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection therewith; andprovided, further, that if the decision relates to an Acquisition Proposal: (i) the Company shall have given Purchaser three (3) Business Days after delivery of such notice to Purchaser to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement (or make another proposal) and if Purchaser proposes to revise the terms of this Agreement, throughout such period the Company shall have negotiated in good faith with Purchaser with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal; and (ii) the Company’s Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors and after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to any proposals, amendments or modifications made or agreed to by Purchaser, if any, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. If the Company’s Board of Directors does not make the determination that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and thereafter determines not to withdraw, modify or change its recommendation that the stockholders of the Company approve this Agreement in connection with a new Acquisition Proposal, the procedures referred to above shall apply anew and shall also apply to any subsequent withdrawal, modification or change. In the event of any material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice

to Purchaser and to again comply with the requirements of thisSection 5.8(c) with respect to such new written notice, except that the three (3) Business Day period referred to above shall be reduced to two (2) Business Days. In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall not submit to the vote of its stockholders any Acquisition Proposal other than the Merger.

5.9 Registration of Purchaser Common Stock.

(a) Within forty-five (45) days following the date hereof, Purchaser shall prepare and file the Registration Statement with the SEC. The Registration Statement shall contain proxy materials relating to the matters to be submitted to Purchaser’s stockholders and to the Company stockholders at the respective stockholders meetings and shall also constitute the prospectus relating to the shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued in the Merger (such proxy statement/prospectus, and any amendments or supplements thereto, the“Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus”). The Company will furnish to Purchaser the information required to be included in the Registration Statement with respect to its business and affairs and shall have the right to review and consult with Purchaser and approve the form of, and any characterizations of such information included in, the Registration Statement before its being filed with the SEC. Each of Purchaser and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as needed to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of Purchaser and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus to be mailed to its respective stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Purchaser will advise the Company, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of Purchaser Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any request by the SEC for amendment of the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus or the Registration Statement. If, at any time before the Effective Time, any information relating to Purchaser or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by Purchaser or the Company that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus so that any of 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 that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party hereto and, to the extent required by law, rules or regulations, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, with the SEC and disseminated by Purchaser and the Company to their respective stockholders.

(b) Purchaser shall also take any action required to be taken under any applicable state securities laws in connection with the Merger and each of the Company and Purchaser shall furnish all information concerning it and the holders of Company Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

(c) Before the Effective Time, Purchaser shall notify or file an application with the NASDAQ with respect to the additional shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued by Purchaser in exchange for the shares of Company Common Stock.

5.10 Notification of Certain Matters. Each party shall give prompt notice to the other of: (i) any event or notice of, or other communication relating to, a default or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default, received by it or any of its Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement and before the Effective Time, under any contract material to the financial condition, properties, businesses or results of operations of each party and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to which each party or any Subsidiary is a party or is subject; (ii) any event, condition, change or occurrence which it believes would or would be reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained

herein or that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article VI and (iii) any event, condition, change or occurrence that individually or in the aggregate has, or that, so far as reasonably can be foreseen at the time of its occurrence, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and Purchaser shall give prompt notice to the other party of any notice or other communication from any third party alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.11 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Purchaser shall honor the Company Benefit Plans set forth in the Company’s Disclosure Letter in accordance with the terms of the Company Benefit Plans, except to the extent an alternative treatment is set forth in this Section 5.11 or in Section 2.11 of this Agreement. For one (1) year following the Effective Time, Purchaser shall maintain or cause to be maintained employee benefit plans and compensation opportunities for the benefit of all Persons who are employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time and whose employment is not terminated before the Effective Time (a “Continuing Employee”), for so long as such Continuing Employee remains employed by Purchaser or one of its Subsidiaries, that, in the aggregate are substantially comparable to the employee benefit and compensation opportunities that are generally made available to similarly-situated employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries.

(b) At the sole discretion of Purchaser, Purchaser may maintain the Company’s health and welfare plans through the end of the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser determines to terminate one or more of the Company’s health and/or other welfare plans, then, at the request of Purchaser, made at least thirty (30) days before the Effective Time, the Company or its Subsidiaries shall adopt resolutions, to the extent required, providing that the Company’s applicable health and welfare plans will be terminated effective immediately before the Effective Time (or such later date as requested by Purchaser in writing or as may be required to comply with any applicable advance notice or other requirements contained in such plans or provided for by law) and shall arrange for termination of all corresponding insurance policies, service agreements and related arrangements effective on the same date to the extent not prohibited by the terms of the arrangements or applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no coverage of any of the Continuing Employees or their dependents shall terminate under any of the Company’s health and welfare plans before the time the Continuing Employees or their dependents, as applicable, become eligible to participate in the health and welfare plans, programs and benefits common to similarly-situated employees of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries and their dependents and, consequently, no Continuing Employee shall experience a gap in coverage. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Continuing Employees who become covered under health and welfare plans, programs and benefits of Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries shall (i) receive credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid under the Company’s health and welfare plans for the plan year in which coverage commences under Purchaser’s health and welfare plans and (ii) shall not be subject to any pre-existing conditions under any such plans or arrangements, in each case, to the same extent as applied under the Company’s health and welfare plans immediately prior to the Effective Time. Company employees who are not Continuing Employees and their qualified beneficiaries will have the right to continued coverage under group health plans of Purchaser in accordance with COBRA.

(c) Purchaser shall cause each Purchaser Benefit Plan in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate to take into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under the Purchaser Benefit Plans the service of the Continuing Employees with the Company and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by the Company and its subsidiaries;provided,however, that such service shall not be recognized: (i) to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits under any Purchaser Benefit Plans, (ii) to the extent, at the sole discretion of Purchaser, the cash value of unused paid time-off is paid to Continuing Employees at the Effective Time, (iii) if similarly situated employees of IBG and its Subsidiaries do not receive credit for service under the applicable Purchaser

Benefit Plan or (iv) with respect to any Purchaser Benefit Plan that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation. The value of each Company employee’s (including employees of the Company’s Subsidiaries) unused paid time-off is set forth in the Company’s Disclosure Letter. This Agreement shall not be construed to limit the ability of Purchaser to terminate the employment of any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or to review any employee benefit plan or program from time to time and to make such changes (including terminating any such plan or program) as Purchaser deems appropriate.

(d) If requested in writing by Purchaser no later than thirty (30) days before Closing, the Company will also take all necessary steps to terminate the Company 401(k) Plan immediately before the Effective Time, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, and if further requested, shall prepare and submit a request to the IRS for a favorable determination letter on termination. If Purchaser requests that the Company apply for a favorable determination letter, then before the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such actions as are necessary (determined in consultation with Purchaser) to submit the application for favorable determination letter in advance of the Effective Time, and following the Effective Time, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to obtain such favorable determination letter as promptly as possible (including, but not limited to, making such changes to the Company 401(k) Plan as may be required by the IRS as a condition to its issuance of a favorable determination letter). Before the Effective Time, the Company, and following the Effective Time, Purchaser, will adopt such amendments to the Company 401(k) Plan and resolutions required to effect the provisions of thisSection 5.11(d) (which, in the case of any amendments or resolutions of the Company, shall be provided to Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to adoption for Purchaser’s review and approval). If Purchaser requests the Company to submit an application to the IRS for a determination letter, the Company 401(k) Plan participants who are terminated at or after the Closing, but before the receipt of the IRS determination letter, may elect to receive a distribution from the Company 401(k) Plan upon termination of their employment. Purchaser shall take any and all actions as may be required to permit Continuing Employees to roll over their account balances, excluding outstanding plan loans, in the Company’s 401(k) Plan into Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan as of the Effective Time.

(e) The Company ESOP shall terminate as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Company ESOP (as amended with respect to the repayment of the loan as set forth below). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the number of shares of Company Common Stock in the Company ESOP’s suspense account having a value equal to the Company ESOP’s indebtedness under the Company ESOP Loan collateralized thereby shall be treated as Excluded Shares for purposes of this Agreement and, at the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist. Such cancellation of the shares of Company Common Stock in the Company ESOP’s suspense account shall be in consideration for the repayment and/or forgiveness in full of the Company ESOP’s indebtedness under the Company ESOP Loan collateralized thereby. For purposes of the two immediately preceding sentences, the value of a share of Company Common Stock shall be equal to the value of the Merger Consideration, with the value of a share of Purchaser Common Stock for such purpose determined based on the closing price during regular trading hours of a share of Purchaser Common Stock on the NASDAQ on the Closing Date. If requested, the Company shall prepare and submit a request to the IRS for a favorable determination letter on termination. If Purchaser requests that the Company apply for a favorable determination letter, then before the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such actions as are necessary (determined in consultation with Purchaser) to submit the application for a favorable determination letter in advance of the Effective Time, and following the Effective Time, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such favorable determination letter as promptly as possible (including, but not limited to, making such changes to the Company ESOP as may be required by the IRS as a condition to its issuance of a favorable determination letter). Before the Effective Time, the Company will adopt such amendments to the Company ESOP and related trust and resolutions required to effect the provisions of thisSection 5.11(e) (which amendments or resolutions of the Company, shall be provided to Purchaser at least five (5) Business Days prior to adoption for Purchaser’s review and approval).

(f) For one (1) year following the Effective Time, Purchaser will honor the Company Severance Plan;provided, however, that the minimum severance payment shall be four (4) weeks of base compensation irrespective of the service of the employee. Continuing Employees (including such Continuing Employees who are terminated at the Effective Time) who would otherwise be eligible to receive benefits under the Company Severance Plan, but who do not meet the minimum service requirements for eligibility will be provided four (4) weeks of base compensation as severance pay if they are terminated at or within one (1) year of the Effective Time other than for cause. For one (1) year following the Effective Time, Purchaser or Purchaser Bank will offer AFCB employees whose jobs are eliminated as a result of the Bank Merger priority in applying for open positions within Purchaser and Purchaser Bank;provided,however, that any decision to offer employment to any such person shall be made in the sole discretion of Purchaser and Purchaser Bank.

(g) Purchaser shall honor all obligations under the employment agreements, deferred compensation arrangements and group term carve out plans set forth in the Company’s Disclosure Letter in accordance with their terms.

(h) The Company shall establish a retention bonus pool in the amount as provided in the Company’s Disclosure Letter for employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries jointly designated in writing by Purchaser and the Company to help retain key employees;provided, that no retention bonus pool payment shall be made that would be considered an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the IRC or result in any other adverse tax consequence to the Purchaser. The amount and payment date of the retention bonus for each applicable employee shall be jointly determined in writing by Purchaser and the Company, but shall be no earlier than the date on which the systems conversion is completed.

(i) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Purchaser and Company shall enter into employment agreements with each of Jeffrey Cunningham, Michael Hutsell and Jay Leggett, Jr. to be effective as of the Effective Time.

(j) For one (1) year following the Effective Time, Purchaser shall provide all employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries whose employment was terminated other than for cause, disability or retirement at or following the Effective Time, and who so desires, job counseling and outplacement assistance services for three (3) months following his or her termination date, and shall notify all such employees who want to be so notified of opportunities for positions with Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries for which Purchaser reasonably believes such persons are qualified and shall consider any application for such positions submitted by such persons;provided, however, that any decision to offer employment to any such person shall be made in the sole discretion of Purchaser. Such job counseling and outplacement services shall be provided by a vendor selected by Purchaser.

(k) Without limiting the generality ofSection 8.8, the provisions of thisSection 5.11 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former employee, director or service provider shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary to this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to (i) establish, amend or modify any Company Benefit Plan, Purchaser Benefit Plan or any employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by the Company, the Purchaser or any of their Affiliates, (ii) alter or limit the ability of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries to amend, modify or terminate any compensation or benefit plan, program or agreement after the Effective Time or (iii) confer on any current or former employee, director or service provider any right to employment or continued employment or service with the Company, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates.

5.12 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Party”), and any person who becomes an Indemnified Party between the date hereof and the Effective Time,

against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or before the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed before, at or after the Effective Time, based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors or was before the Effective Time serving at the request of any such party as a director, officer, employee, trustee or partner of another corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, employee benefit plan or other entity or (ii) any matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to the fullest extent such Person would have been indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses pursuant to the Company’s charter and bylaws as in effect on the date of this Agreement and as permitted by applicable law, and Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation shall also advance expenses as incurred by such Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law,provided, however, that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification underSection 5.12(a), upon learning of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof. Any failure to so notify shall not affect the obligationsof Purchaser underSection 5.12(a) unless and to the extent that Purchaser is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(c) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Purchaser shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering each Person currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy with respect to claims against such Persons arising from facts or events occurring at or before the Effective Time (provided that Purchaser may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less favorable in any material respect to the insured);provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be required to expend in the aggregate pursuant to thisSection 5.12(c) more than 200% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”) and, if Purchaser is unable to maintain such policy as a result of this proviso, Purchaser shall obtain as much comparable insurance as is available at a premium equal to the Premium Cap;provided further, that Purchaser may (i) request that the Company obtain an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or (ii) substitute therefor “tail” policies the material terms of which, including coverage and amount, are no less favorable in any material respect to such Person than the Company’s existing insurance policies as of the date hereof if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Premium Cap.

(d) If Purchaser or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) liquidates, dissolves, transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or entity, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that such successor and assign of Purchaser and its successors and assigns assume the obligations set forth in thisSection 5.12.

(e) The provisions of thisSection 5.12 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her representatives.

(f) Any indemnification payments made pursuant to thisSection 5.12 are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1828(k)) and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (12 C.F.R. Part 359).

5.13 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Purchaser the opportunity to participate at Purchaser’s own expense in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Purchaser’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

5.14 Disclosure Supplements. From time to time before the Effective Time, the Company and Purchaser will promptly notify the other party in writing with respect to any matter hereafter arising that, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Disclosure Letters or that is necessary to correct any information in such Disclosure Letters that has been rendered materially inaccurate thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, such written notice shall not be deemed to be a supplement or amendment to such Disclosure Letters.

5.15 Director Appointment. Before the Closing Date, each of Purchaser and Purchaser Bank shall take all required action to appoint each of the Designated Directors (as hereinafter defined) to serve as a director of Purchaser and Purchaser Bank effective as of the Effective Time. “Designated Directors” shall mean two (2) members of the current board of directors of the Company, selected by the Company in consultation with Purchaser, and subject to the bylaws and the requirements of the nominating and governance committee of Purchaser and Purchaser Bank, respectively, and the requirements regarding service as a member of the board of directors of Purchaser and Purchaser Bank, as applicable.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the Merger abandoned, at any time before the Effective Time, by action taken or authorized by the Board of Directors of the terminating party, either before or after any requisite stockholder approval:

(a) by the mutual written consent of Purchaser and the Company; or

(b) by either Purchaser or the Company, in the event of the failure of the Company’s stockholders to approve this Agreement at the Company Stockholder Meeting (“Requisite Company Vote”); provided, however, that the Company shall only be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause if it has complied in all material respects with its obligations underSection 5.8 (subject toSection 5.8(c));

(c) by either Purchaser or the Company, if either (i) any approval, consent or waiver of a Governmental Entity required to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have been denied and such denial has become final and non-appealable or (ii) any court or other Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final, unappealable order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless the failure to obtain such required approval, consent or waiver shall be due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

(d) by either Purchaser or the Company, if the Merger is not consummated by March 31, 2019 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that, if on the Outside Date either of the conditions set forth inSection 6.1(b) orSection 6.1(c) shall not have been satisfied, then the Outside Date shall be automatically extended to June 30, 2019 (and in the case of such extension, any reference to the Outside Date in any other provision of thisAgreement shall be a reference to the Outside Date, as extended); in each case, unless the failure to so consummate by such time is due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein;

(e) by either Purchaser or the Company (provided that the party seeking termination is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein), in the event of a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the other party set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the other party shall have become untrue, which breach or failure to be true, either individually or in the aggregate with all other breaches by such party (or failures of such representations or warranties to be true), would constitute, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth inSections 6.2(a) and(b) orSections 6.3(a) and(b), as the case may be and such breach or untrue representation or warranty has not been or cannot be cured within the earlier of the Outside Date and thirty (30) days following written notice to the party committing such breach or making such untrue representation or warranty, or by its nature or timing cannot be cured during such period;

(f) by Purchaser, if (i) the Company shall have breached its obligations underSection 5.1 orSection 5.8 in any material respect or (ii) if the Board of Directors of the Company does not publicly recommend in the Joint Proxy Statement-Prospectus that stockholders approve and adopt this Agreement or if the Board of Directors effects a Change of Recommendation; and

(g) by the Company, at any time during the five-day period commencing with the Determination Date, if both of the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) The number obtained by dividing the Average Closing Price by the Starting Price (the “Purchaser Ratio”) shall be less than 0.80; and

(ii) The Purchaser Ratio shall be less than the number obtained by subtracting 0.20 from the Index Ratio;

subject, however, to the following three sentences. If the Company elects to exercise its termination right pursuant to thisSection 7.1(g), it shall give written notice to Purchaser (provided that such notice of election to terminate may be withdrawn at any time within the aforementioned five-day period). During the five-day period commencing with its receipt of such notice, Purchaser shall have the option to increase the Exchange Ratio in a manner such, and to the extent required, so that the condition set forth in either clause (i) or (ii) above shall be deemed not to exist. If Purchaser so elects within such five-day period, it shall give prompt written notice to the Company of such election and the revised Exchange Ratio, whereupon no termination shall have occurred pursuant to thisSection 7.1(g) and this Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms (except as the Exchange Ratio shall have been so modified).

For purposes of thisSection 7.1(g) the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

“Final Index Price” shall mean the average of the Index Prices for the twenty (20) consecutive full trading days ending on and including the Determination Date.

“Index Price” shall mean $4391.77, which is the closing price on the Starting Date for the NASDAQ Bank Index.

“Index Ratio” shall mean the Final Index Price divided by the Index Price.

“Starting Date” shall mean the third trading day before the date of the first public announcement of entry into this Agreement.

“Starting Price” shall mean $20.25, which is the closing price of a share of Purchaser Common Stock on the NASDAQ (as reported in The Wall Street Journal, or if not reported therein, in another authoritative source) on the Starting Date.

7.2 Termination Fee; Expenses.

(a) If Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant toSection 7.1(f), the Company shall make payment to Purchaser of a termination fee of $5,000,000.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated (A) by either party pursuant toSection 7.1(b), or (B) by either party pursuant toSection 7.1(d) without the Requisite Company Vote having been obtained or (C) by Purchaser pursuant toSection 7.1(e), (ii) before the Company Stockholder Meeting (in the case of termination pursuant toSection 7.1(b)) or the date of termination (in the case of termination pursuant toSection 7.1(d)and Section 7.1(e)), an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced, disclosed or communicated and (iii) within twelve (12) months of such termination the Company shall consummate or enter into any agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal as set forth in clause (ii) of thisSection 7.2(b)), then the Company shall make payment to Purchaser of a termination fee of $5,000,000.

(c) If (i) this Agreement is terminated by either party pursuant toSection 7.1(d), (ii) the reason for such failure to consummate the Merger on or before the Outside Date is that either of the conditions set forth in

Section 6.1(b) orSection 6.1(c) shall not have been satisfied by the Outside Date and (iii) the failure of either such condition to be satisfied is not attributable to the failure of the Company to perform or observe the covenants and agreements set forth herein, then Purchaser shall pay to the Company a termination fee of $4,000,000.

(d) The fees payable pursuant toSection 7.2(a) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the time of termination. Any fee payable pursuant toSection 7.2(b) orSection 7.2(c) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days after notice of demand for payment. The Company and Purchaser acknowledge that the agreements contained in thisSection 7.2 are an integral part of thetransactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither the Company nor Purchaser would enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company or Purchaser, as applicable, fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to thisSection 7.2, and, in order to obtain such payment, Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, commences a suit which results in a judgment against the other party for such termination fee or any portion thereof, such other party shall pay the costs and expenses of Purchaser or the Company, as applicable (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. In addition, if Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, fails to pay the amounts payable pursuant to thisSection 7.2, then Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, shall pay interest on such overdue amounts (for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full) at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” (as announced by JPMorgan Chase & Co. or any successor thereto) in effect on the date on which such payment was required to be made for the period commencing as of the date that such overdue amount was originally required to be paid. The amount payable by the Company pursuant toSection 7.2(a) or(b), or by Purchaser pursuant toSection 7.2(c), in each case, constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty and shall be the sole remedy of Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, in the event of termination of this Agreement on the bases specified in such sections. The fee contemplated bySection 7.2(c)shall solely be payable subject to Section 7.2(c) of the Company’s Disclosure Letter.

7.3 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated by either Purchaser or the Company as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and, subject to Section 7.2, have no effect, and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto or their respective officers and directors, except that (i) Sections 5.3(c), 7.2 and Article VIII, shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no party shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its fraud or willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to Purchaser and the Company to entering into the Merger Agreement, Purchaser and the Company have required that the Stockholder, in his or her capacity as a stockholder of the Company, enter into this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agrees as follows:
