W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of the Parties have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and their respective shareholders to consummate the business combination transaction provided for in this Agreement in which LBC will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, merge with and into CBAN (the “Merger”), with CBAN as the surviving company in the Merger (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Entity”);

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of CBAN to enter into this Agreement, certain directors and certain shareholders of LBC have entered into voting agreements (each a “LBC Voting Agreement” and collectively, the “LBC Voting Agreements”), substantially in the form attached hereto asExhibit A, dated as of the date hereof, with CBAN, pursuant to which each such director or shareholder has agreed, among other things, to vote certain of the LBC Common Stock owned by such director or shareholder in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to the terms of the LBC Voting Agreements;

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make certain representations, warranties 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 qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), and this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Section 1.01TheMerger.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the “GBCC”), at the Effective Time, LBC shall merge with and into CBAN pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. CBAN shall be the Surviving Entity in the Merger and shall continue its existence as a corporation under the laws of the State of Georgia. As of the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of LBC shall cease.

Section 1.02Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

At the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation of CBAN in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Entity until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law. The bylaws of CBAN in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Entity until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law and the terms of such bylaws.

Section 1.03Bank Merger.

Except as provided below, immediately following the Effective Time and sequentially but in effect simultaneously on the Closing Date, Calumet Bank, a Georgia state-chartered bank and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of LBC (“Calumet Bank”), shall be merged (the “Bank Merger”) with and into Colony Bank, a Georgia state-chartered bank and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CBAN (“Colony Bank”), in accordance with the provisions of applicable federal and state banking laws and regulations, and Colony Bank shall be the surviving bank (the “Surviving Bank”). The Bank Merger shall have the effects as set forth under applicable federal and state banking laws and regulations, and the board of directors of the Parties shall cause the board of directors of Colony Bank and Calumet Bank, respectively, to approve a separate merger agreement (the “Bank Plan of Merger”) in substantially the form attached hereto asExhibit B, and cause the Bank Plan of Merger to be executed and delivered as soon as practicable following the date of execution of this Agreement. Each of CBAN and LBC shall also approve the Bank Plan of Merger in their capacities as sole shareholders of Colony Bank and Calumet Bank, respectively. As provided in the Bank Plan of Merger, the Bank Merger may be abandoned at the election of Colony Bank at any time, whether before or after filings are made for regulatory approval of the Bank Merger, but if the Bank Merger is abandoned for any reason, Calumet Bank shall continue to operate under its name;providedthat prior to any such election, CBAN shall (a) reasonably consult with LBC and its regulatory counsel and (b) reasonably determine in good faith that such election will not, and would not reasonably be expected to, prevent, delay or impair any Party’s ability to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 1.04Effective Time;Closing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties will make all such filings as may be required to consummate the Merger and the Bank Merger by applicable Laws. The Merger shall become effective as set forth in the articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) related to the Merger, which will include the plan of merger (the “Plan of Merger”), that shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Georgia, as provided in the GBCC, on the Closing Date. The “Effective Time” of the Merger shall be the later of (i) the date and time of filing of the Articles of Merger, or (ii) the date and time when the Merger becomes effective as set forth in the Articles of Merger, which shall be no later than three (3) Business Days after all of the conditions to the Closing set forth inArticle VI (other than conditions to be satisfied at the Closing, which shall be satisfied or waived at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place beginning immediately prior to the Effective Time (such date, the “Closing Date”) at the offices of Alston & Bird LLP, One Atlantic Center, 1201 West Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30309, or such other place as the Parties may mutually agree. At the Closing, there shall be delivered to CBAN and LBC the Articles of Merger and such other certificates and other documents required to be delivered under Article VI.

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

ARTICLE II

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Section 2.01Merger Consideration.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or any shareholder of LBC:

(a) Each share of CBAN Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

(b) Each share of LBC Common Stock owned directly by CBAN, LBC or any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like for the benefit of customers or shares held as collateral for outstanding debt previously contracted) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and retired at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto (the “LBC Cancelled Shares”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all shares of LBC Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a shareholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands the fair value of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Article 13 of the GBCC, shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (the “Dissenting Shares”), but instead the holder of such Dissenting Shares (hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”) shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares in accordance with the applicable provisions of the GBCC (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided for pursuant to the applicable provisions of the GBCC and thisSection 2.01(c)), unless and until such Dissenting Shareholder shall have failed to perfect such holder’s right to receive, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost rights to demand or receive, the fair value of such shares of LBC Common Stock under the applicable provisions of the GBCC. If any Dissenting Shareholder shall fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or lose such Holder’s dissenter’s rights under the applicable provisions of the GBCC, each such Dissenting Share shall be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. LBC shall give CBAN (i) prompt notice of any written notices to exercise dissenters’ rights in respect of any shares of LBC Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such notices and any other instruments served pursuant to the GBCC and received by LBC relating to dissenters’ rights and (ii) the opportunity to participate in negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for fair value under the GBCC. LBC shall not, except with the prior written consent of CBAN, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer or agree to settle, any such demand for payment. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to thisArticle II to pay for shares of LBC Common Stock for which dissenters’ rights have been perfected shall be returned to CBAN upon demand. If the amount paid to a Dissenting Shareholder exceeds such Dissenting Shareholder’s Merger Consideration, such excess amount shall not reduce the amount of Merger Consideration paid to other Holders.

(d) Subject to the allocation provisions of thisArticle II, each share of LBC Stock (excluding Dissenting Shares and LBC Cancelled Shares) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted, in accordance with the terms of thisArticle II, into and exchanged for the right to receive the following:

(i) a cash payment, without interest, in an amount equal to $23.50 (individually the “Per Share Cash Consideration”); or

(ii) 1.3239 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of CBAN Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided inSection 2.01(e) (the “Per ShareStock Consideration”).

(e) If, between the date hereof and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of LBC Common Stock or CBAN Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar change in capitalization, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made to the Per Share Stock Consideration. In all cases, at least 50% of the Merger Consideration shall be in the form of CBAN Common Stock.

Section 2.02Election Procedures.

(a)Election.

(i) Prior to the Effective Time, CBAN shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), which is acceptable to LBC in its reasonable discretion, for the payment and exchange of the Merger Consideration.

(ii) Holders of record of LBC Common Stock may elect to receive shares of CBAN Common Stock or cash in exchange for their shares of LBC Common Stock, provided that the number of shares of LBC Common Stock to be converted into Per Share Stock Consideration pursuant to thisSection 2.02 shall be fifty-five percent (55%) of the total Outstanding Shares Number (the “Stock Conversion Number”).

(iii) An election form (“Election Form”), together with a Letter of Transmittal (as defined inSection 2.07), shall be mailed no less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the Election Deadline (as defined below) or on such earlier date as CBAN and LBC shall mutually agree (the“Mailing Date”) to each Holder of record of LBC Common Stock as of five (5) Business Days prior to the Mailing Date permitting such Holder, subject to the allocation and election procedures set forth in thisSection 2.02, (1) to specify the number of shares of LBC Common Stock owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration (a “Cash Election”, and such shares subject to a Cash Election, the “Cash Election Shares”), in accordance with the provisions ofSection 2.01(d)(i), (2) to specify the number of shares of LBC Common Stock owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration (a “Stock Election” and such shares subject to a Stock Election, the “Stock Election Shares”), in accordance with the provisions ofSection 2.01(d)(ii), or (3) to indicate that such record Holder has no preference as to the receipt of cash or CBAN Common Stock for such shares. Holders of record of shares of LBC Common Stock who hold such shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities (a “Representative”) may submit multiple Election Forms, provided that each such Election Form covers all the shares of LBC Common Stock held by each Representative for a particular beneficial owner. Any shares of LBC Common Stock with respect to which the Holder thereof shall not, as of the Election Deadline (as defined inSection 2.02(a)(iv)), have made an election by submission to the Exchange Agent of an effective, properly completed Election Form shall be deemed “Non-Election Shares”. CBAN shall make available one or more Election Forms as may

reasonably be requested in writing from time to time by all Persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of LBC Common Stock between the record date for the initial mailing of Election Forms and the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Election Deadline, and LBC shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein.

(iv) The term “Election Deadline”, as used below, shall mean 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the later of (i) the date of the LBC Meeting and (ii) the date that CBAN and LBC shall agree is as near as practicable to five (5) Business Days prior to the expected Closing Date. An election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline accompanied by one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such certificates) representing all the shares of LBC Common Stock covered by such Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form to the Exchange Agent by written notice to the Exchange Agent only if such notice of revocation or change is actually received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline. The Certificate or Certificates relating to any revoked Election Form shall be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting the Election Form to the Exchange Agent. Shares of LBC Common Stock held by holders who acquired such shares subsequent to the Election Deadline will be designatedNon-Election Shares. In addition, if a Holder of LBC Common Stock either (1) does not submit a properly completed Election Form in a timely fashion or (2) revokes its Election Form prior to the Election Deadline and fails to file a new properly completed Election Form before the deadline, such shares shall be designatedNon-Election Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither CBAN nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.

(b)Allocation. No later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, CBAN shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among Holders of LBC Common Stock of rights to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration and/or the Per Share Stock Consideration, which shall be effected by the Exchange Agent as follows:

(i) If the aggregate number of shares of LBC Common Stock with respect to which Stock Elections shall have been made (the “Stock Election Number”) exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, then all Cash Election Shares and allNon-Election Shares of each Holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration, and the Stock Election Shares of each Holder thereof will be converted into the right to receive (A) the Per Share Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by

such Holder by (y) the fraction, the numerator of which is the Stock Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number, and (B) the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration in respect of the remainder of such Holder’s Stock Election Shares that were not converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration pursuant to clause (A) above.

(ii) If the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Conversion Number (the amount by which the Stock Conversion Number exceeds the Stock Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration and theNon-Election Shares and Cash Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

(1) If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number ofNon-Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration and theNon-Election Shares of each Holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive (A) the Per Share Stock Consideration in respect of that number ofNon-Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number ofNon-Election Shares held by such Holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number ofNon-Election Shares, and (B) the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration in respect of the remainder of such Holder’sNon-Election Shares that were not converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration pursuant to clause (A) above; and

(2) If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number ofNon-Election Shares, then allNon-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration and the Cash Election Shares of each Holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive (A) the Per Share Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such Holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the Shortfall Number exceeds the total number ofNon-Election Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of Cash Election Shares, and (B) the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration in respect of the remainder of such Holder’s Cash Election Shares that were not converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration pursuant to clause (A) above.

Section 2.03LBCStock-Based Awards.

(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of LBC Common Stock subject to vesting restrictions granted under the LBC Stock Plans (a “LBC Restricted Share”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable and shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive, at the election of the Holder, the Per Share Cash Consideration or the Per Share Stock Consideration, less the amount of any required withholding Tax, pursuant toSection 2.01(d).

(b) At the Effective Time, each option to purchase LBC Common Stock granted under any LBC Stock Plan (each a “LBC Option”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from LBC immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of LBC Common Stock subject to such LBC Optiontimes (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Cash Considerationover the exercise price per share of LBC Common Stock under such LBC Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. No holder of an LBC Option that has an exercise price per share of LBC Common Stock that is equal to or greater than the Per Share Cash Consideration shall be entitled to any payment with respect to such cancelled LBC Option before, on, or after the Effective Time.

(c) At the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase LBC Common Stock (each a “LBC Warrant”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from LBC immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of LBC Common Stock subject to such LBC Warranttimes (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Cash Considerationover the exercise price per share of LBC Common Stock under such LBC Warrant, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. No holder of an LBC Warrant that has an exercise price per share of LBC Common Stock that is equal to or greater than the Per Share Cash Consideration shall be entitled to any payment with respect to such cancelled LBC Warrant before, on, or after the Effective Time.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the board of directors of LBC (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the LBC Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions, including obtaining any necessary consents or amendments to the applicable award agreements, warrant agreements and equity plans, as may be required to effectuate the provisions of thisSection 2.03.

Section 2.04Rightsas Shareholders; Stock Transfers.

At the Effective Time, all shares of LBC Common Stock, when converted in accordance withSection 2.01, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate or Book-Entry Share previously evidencing such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive for each such share of LBC Common Stock, the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of CBAN Common Stock in accordance with thisArticle II. At the Effective Time, holders of LBC Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of LBC, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of CBAN Common Stock as provided under thisArticle II. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of LBC shall be closed, and there shall be no registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of LBC of shares of LBC Common Stock.

Section 2.05Fractional Shares.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of CBAN Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger. In lieu thereof, CBAN shall pay or cause to be paid to each Holder of a fractional share of CBAN Common Stock, rounded to the nearest one hundredth of a share, an amount of cash (without interest and rounded to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying the fractional share interest in CBAN Common Stock to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled by the Per Share Cash Consideration.

Section 2.06Plan of Reorganization.

It is intended that the Merger and the Bank Merger shall each qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” as that term is used in Sections 354 and 361 of the Code.

Section 2.07Exchange Procedures.

Section 2.08Deposit and Delivery ofMerger Consideration.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, CBAN shall (i) deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent stock certificates representing the number of shares of CBAN Common Stock and cash sufficient to deliver the Merger Consideration (together with, to the extent then determinable, any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant toSection 2.05, and if applicable, cash in an aggregate amount sufficient to make the appropriate payment to the Holders of Dissenting Shares) (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”), and (ii) instruct the Exchange Agent to pay such Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time and conditioned upon receipt of a properly completed Letter of Transmittal. The Exchange Agent and CBAN, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to deliver the Merger Consideration to a Holder to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such Holder surrenders the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing the shares of LBC Common Stock for exchange as provided in thisArticle II, or, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in such amount as may be reasonably required in each case by CBAN or the Exchange Agent.

Any shareholders of LBC who have not theretofore complied with thisSection 2.08 shall thereafter look only to CBAN for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of LBC Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor, and any dividends or distributions to which such Holder is

entitled in respect of each share of LBC Common Stock such shareholder held immediately prior to the Effective Time, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case without any interest thereon.

In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of any shares of LBC Common Stock represented by any Certificate or Book-Entry Share, CBAN and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to tender to the custody of any court of competent jurisdiction any Merger Consideration represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and file legal proceedings interpleading all parties to such dispute, and will thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

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

Section 2.09Rights of Certificate Holders after the Effective Time.

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

(b) In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate representing LBC Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of LBC, the proper amount of cash and/or shares of CBAN Common Stock shall be paid or issued in exchange therefor to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if the Certificate formerly representing such LBC Common Stock shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment or issuance shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment or issuance to a person other than the registered Holder of the Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of CBAN that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

Section 2.10Anti-Dilution Provisions.

If the number of shares of CBAN Common Stock or LBC Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall be increased or decreased, or changed into or exchanged for a different number of kind of shares or securities, in any such case as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock combination, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or similar transaction, or there shall be any extraordinary dividend or distribution with respect to such stock, and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Merger Consideration to give holders of LBC Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

LBC shall promptly provide to CBAN anynon-public information regarding LBC or its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person which was not previously provided to CBAN, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party.

(c) LBC shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify CBAN in writing if any proposals or offers are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, LBC or the LBC Representatives, in each case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, and such notice shall indicate the name of the Person initiating such discussions or negotiations or making such proposal, offer or information request and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (and, in the case of written materials relating to such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussion, providing copies of such materials (includinge-mails or other electronic communications) except to the extent that such materials constitute confidential information of the party making such offer or proposal under an effective confidentiality agreement). LBC agrees that it shall keep CBAN informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including any amendments or modifications to such proposal, offer or request).

(d) Neither the board of directors of LBC nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, or propose to withdraw, qualify, amend or modify, in a manner adverse to CBAN in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), the LBC Recommendation, fail to reaffirm the LBC Recommendation within three (3) Business Days following a request by CBAN, or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with the LBC Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the LBC Recommendation (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification of the LBC Recommendation); (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into (or cause LBC or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (A) related to any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions ofSection 5.09(b)) or (B) requiring LBC to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) NotwithstandingSection 5.09(d), prior to the date of the LBC Meeting, the board of directors of LBC may withdraw, qualify, amend or modify the LBC Recommendation (a “LBC Subsequent Determination”) after the fifth (5^th) Business Day following CBAN’s receipt of a notice (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from LBC advising CBAN that the board of directors of LBC has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that it received (that did not result from a breach ofSection 5.09(a)) constitutes a Superior Proposal if, but only if, (i) the board of directors of LBC has determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that it is reasonably necessary to take such actions to comply with its fiduciary duties to LBC’s shareholders under applicable Law, (ii) during the five (5) Business Day period after receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal by CBAN (the “Notice Period”), LBC and the board of directors of LBC shall have cooperated and negotiated in good faith with CBAN to make such adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable LBC to proceed with the LBC Recommendation without a LBC Subsequent Determination;provided,however, that

CBAN shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (iii) at the end of the Notice Period, after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms as may have been proposed by CBAN since its receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal, the board of directors of LBC has again in good faith made the determination (A) in clause (i) of thisSection 5.09(e) and (B) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. In the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal, LBC shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal to CBAN and again comply with the requirements of thisSection 5.09(e), except that the Notice Period shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days.

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

(g) Nothing contained in thisSection 5.09 shall prohibit LBC or the board of directors of LBC from complying with LBC’s obligations required under Rule14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act;provided,however, that any such disclosure relating to an Acquisition Proposal (other than a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed a change in the LBC Recommendation unless the board of directors of LBC reaffirms the LBC Recommendation in such disclosure.

Section 5.10Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, and in any event subject to the provisions ofSection 5.10(c)(iv), CBAN shall indemnify and hold harmless the present and former directors and officers of LBC and its Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party”), against all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of CBAN, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (each a “Claim”), arising out of actions or omissions of such persons in the course of performing their duties for LBC or any of its Subsidiaries occurring at or before the Effective Time (including the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before, or after, the Effective Time, to the same extent permitted under the organizational documents of LBC and its Subsidiaries in effect on the date of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(b) In connection with the indemnification provided pursuant toSection 5.10, CBAN and/or an CBAN Subsidiary will advance expenses, promptly after statements therefor are received, to each LBC Indemnified Party, to the same extent permitted under the organizational documents of LBC and its Subsidiaries in effect on the date of this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable Law (provided the individual to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advance if it is ultimately determined that such individual is not entitled to indemnification), including the payment of the fees and expenses of one counsel with respect to a matter, and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, if necessary or appropriate, selected by such LBC Indemnified Party or multiple Indemnified Parties, it being understood that they collectively shall only be entitled to one counsel and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction where necessary or appropriate (unless a conflict shall exist between them in which case they may retain separate counsel), all such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to CBAN.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under thisSection 5.10 shall promptly notify CBAN upon learning of any Claim,provided that, failure to so notify shall not affect the obligation of CBAN under thisSection 5.10, unless, and only to the extent that, CBAN is materially prejudiced in the defense of such Claim as a consequence. In the event of any such Claim (whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time), (i) CBAN shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and CBAN shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses or other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (iii) CBAN shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent and (iv) CBAN shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if such indemnification would be in violation of any applicable federal or state banking Laws or regulations, or in the event that a federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Laws and regulations, whether or not related to banking Laws.

(d) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, CBAN will maintain director’s and officer’s liability insurance (herein, “D&O Insurance”) that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of LBC or its Subsidiaries (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from facts or events occurring before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated hereby), which insurance will contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Party, as that coverage currently provided by LBC;providedthat, if CBAN is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by thisSection 5.10, CBAN will provide as much comparable insurance as is reasonably available (subject to the limitations described below in thisSection 5.10(d)); andprovided,further, that officers and directors of LBC or its Subsidiaries may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to the carrier of the D&O Insurance for the purpose of obtaining such insurance. In no event shall CBAN be required to expend for such tail insurance a premium amount in excess of an amount equal to 100% of the annual premiums paid by LBC for D&O Insurance in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum D&O Tail Premium”). If the cost of such tail insurance exceeds the Maximum D&O Tail Premium, CBAN shall obtain tail insurance coverage or a separate tail insurance policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum D&O Tail Premium.

(e) ThisSection 5.10 shall survive the Effective Time, is intended to benefit each LBC Indemnified Party (each of whom shall be entitled to enforce this Section against CBAN), and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of CBAN.

(f) If CBAN or any of its successors and assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its property and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of CBAN and its Subsidiaries shall assume the obligations set forth in thisSection 5.10.

CBAN shall give the Covered Employees credit for their prior service with LBC for purposes of eligibility (including initial participation and eligibility for current benefits) and vesting under any employee benefit plan maintained by CBAN and in which Covered Employees may be eligible to participate.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan of CBAN that is a health, dental, vision or other welfare plan in which any Covered Employee is eligible to participate, for the plan year that includes the Closing, if Covered Employees are eligible to participate in such plans, CBAN shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause anypre-existing condition limitations, eligibility waiting periods or evidence of insurability requirements under such CBAN plan to be waived with respect to such Covered Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent such condition was or would have been covered under the LBC Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Following the Effective Time, Colony Bank shall credit each Covered Employee with an amount of paid time off equal to such Covered Employee’s accrued but unused paid time off at Calumet Bank (“Carryover PTO”), provided that Colony Bank may allocate the Carryover PTO and between vacation leave and sick leave in its discretion.

Section 9.09Interpretation.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to sections, exhibits or schedules, such reference shall be to a section of, or exhibit or schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

No item is required to be set forth in either Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty if its absence would not result in the related representation or warranty being deemed untrue or incorrect. The mere inclusion of an item in either Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by either party that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or that any breach or violation of applicable Laws or any contract exists or has actually occurred. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to require any person to take any action, or fail to take any action, if to do so would violate any applicable Law.

WHEREAS, it is a material inducement to the willingness of CBAN to enter into the Merger Agreement that Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of, and as a material inducement to, CBAN entering into the Merger Agreement and proceeding with the transactions contemplated thereby, and in consideration of the expenses incurred and to be incurred by CBAN in connection therewith, Shareholder and CBAN agree as follows:

Section 1.Agreement to Vote Shares.

(a) appear at each such meeting in person or by proxy or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and

(b) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all the Shares as to which the Shareholder has, directly or indirectly, the right to vote or direct the voting, (i) in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including any amendments or modifications of the terms thereof approved by the board of directors of LBC and adopted in accordance with the terms thereof); (ii) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies to approve the Merger Agreement; (iii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of LBC contained in the Merger Agreement or of Shareholder contained in this Agreement; and (iv) against any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or any other action, agreement or transaction that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere or be inconsistent with, delay, postpone, discourage or materially and adversely affect consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.

Shareholder further agrees not to vote or execute any written consent to rescind or amend in any manner any prior vote or written consent, as a shareholder of LBC, to approve or adopt the Merger Agreement unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms.

Section 2.No Transfers. Until the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement pursuant toSection 6 and (ii) receipt of the Requisite LBC Shareholder Approval, Shareholder agrees not to, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract option, commitment or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposition of, any of the Shares, except the following transfers shall be permitted: (a) transfers by will or operation of Law, in which case this Agreement shall bind the transferee, (b) transfers pursuant to any pledge agreement, subject to the pledgee agreeing in writing, prior to such transfer, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (c) transfers in connection with estate and tax planning purposes, including transfers to relatives, trusts and charitable organizations, subject to each transferee agreeing in writing, prior to such transfer, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and (d) such transfers as CBAN may otherwise permit in its sole discretion. Any transfer or other disposition in violation of the terms of thisSection 2 shall be null and void.

Section 3.Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder represents and warrants to and agrees with CBAN as follows:

(a) Shareholder has all requisite capacity and authority to enter into and perform his, her or its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Shareholder, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by CBAN, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Shareholder enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance by Shareholder of his, her or its obligations hereunder and the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, violate or conflict with, or constitute a default under, any agreement, instrument, contract or other obligation or any order, arbitration award, judgment or decree to which Shareholder is a party or by which Shareholder is bound, or any statute, rule or regulation to which Shareholder is subject or, in the event that Shareholder is a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, any charter, bylaw or other organizational document of Shareholder.

(d) Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of, or is the trustee that is the record holder of, and whose beneficiaries are the beneficial owners of, and has good title to all of the Shares, and the Shares are owned free and clear of any liens, security interests, charges or other encumbrances. The Shares do not include shares over which Shareholder exercises control in a fiduciary capacity for any other person or entity that is not an Affiliate of Shareholder, and no representation by Shareholder is made with respect thereto. Shareholder has the right to vote the Shares, and none of the Shares is subject to any voting trust or other agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of the Shares, except as contemplated by this Agreement. Shareholder does not own, of record or beneficially, any shares of capital stock of LBC other than the Shares or any other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital stock, other than any LBC Restricted Shares.

Section 4.No Solicitation. From and after the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement pursuant toSection 6, Shareholder, in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of LBC, shall not, nor shall such Shareholder authorize any partner, officer, director, advisor or representative of, such Shareholder or any of his, her or its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly (and, to the extent applicable to Shareholder, such Shareholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit any of his, her or its representatives or Affiliates to), (a) initiate, solicit, induce or knowingly encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (b) except in his capacity as a director or officer of LBC and under circumstances for which such actions are permitted for LBC under the Merger Agreement, participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any person (other than CBAN) any information or data with respect to LBC or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, (c) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any Acquisition Proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an Acquisition Proposal, (d) solicit proxies with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than the Merger Agreement) or otherwise encourage or assist any party in taking or planning any action that would compete with, restrain or otherwise serve to interfere with or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, or (e) initiate a shareholders’ vote or action by consent of LBC’s shareholders with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

Section 5.Specific Performance; Remedies; Attorneys’ Fees. Shareholder acknowledges that it is a condition to the willingness of CBAN to enter into the Merger Agreement that Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement and that it will be impossible to measure in money the damage to CBAN if Shareholder fails to comply with the obligations imposed by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, CBAN will not have an adequate remedy at law or in equity. Accordingly, Shareholder agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of such relief on the basis that CBAN has an adequate remedy at Law. Shareholder further agrees that Shareholder will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with CBAN’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief. In addition, after discussing the matter with Shareholder, CBAN shall have the right to inform any third party that CBAN reasonably believes to be, or to be contemplating, participating with Shareholder or receiving from Shareholder assistance in violation of this Agreement, of the terms of this Agreement and of the rights of CBAN hereunder, and that participation by any such persons with Shareholder in activities in violation of Shareholder’s agreement with CBAN set forth in this Agreement may give rise to claims by CBAN against such third party.

Section 6.Term of Agreement; Termination. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement by the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto, and shall be automatically terminated upon the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) the amendment of the Merger Agreement in any manner that materially and adversely affects any of Shareholder’s rights set forth therein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any reduction to the Merger Consideration), (c) termination of the Merger Agreement or (d) three (3) years from the date hereof. Upon such termination, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder;provided, however, that such termination shall not relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

Section 7.Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire understanding of the parties hereto with reference to the transactions contemplated hereby, and this Agreement supersedes any and all other oral or written agreements heretofore made.

Section 8.Modification and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by each party. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or any prior subsequent time.

Section 9.Severability. In the event that any one or more provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement and the parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to substitute a valid, legal and enforceable provision which, insofar as practical, implements the purposes and intents of this Agreement.

Section 10.Capacity as Shareholder. This Agreement shall apply to Shareholder solely in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of LBC and it shall not apply in any manner to Shareholder in his, her or its capacity as a director of LBC, if applicable. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to, or limit in any manner, the obligations of Shareholder to comply with his, her or its fiduciary duties as a director of LBC, if applicable.

Section 11.Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the internal, substantive laws of the State of Georgia, without regard for conflict of law provisions.

Section 12.Jurisdiction. Any civil action, counterclaim, proceeding or litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought in the courts of record of the State of Georgia in Ben Hill County or the United States District Court, Middle District of Georgia. Each party consents to the jurisdiction of such Georgia court in any such civil action, counterclaim, proceeding or litigation and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such civil action, counterclaim, proceeding or litigation in such Georgia court. Service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail, as provided in this letter, or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable Laws.

Section 13.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THISSECTION 13.

FORM OFNON-COMPETITION ANDNON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

ThisNon-Competition andNon-Disclosure Agreement (the “Agreement”), is dated as of December 17, 2018, by and between , an individual resident of the State of Georgia (“Director”), and Colony Bankcorp, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“CBAN”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement (defined below).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, CBAN and LBC Bancshares, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“LBC”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as such agreement may be subsequently amended or modified, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) LBC will merge with and into CBAN, with CBAN as the surviving entity, and (ii) Calumet Bank, a Georgia state-chartered bank and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of LBC, will merge with and into Colony Bank, a Georgia state-chartered bank and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CBAN, with Colony Bank as the surviving bank (collectively, the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, Director is a shareholder of LBC and, as a result of the Merger and pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Director is expected to receive significant consideration in exchange for the shares of LBC Common Stock held by Director;

WHEREAS, as of and prior to the date hereof, Director serves and has served as a member of the Board of Directors of LBC or Calumet Bank, and, therefore, Director has knowledge of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets (each as hereinafter defined);

WHEREAS, as a result of the Merger, CBAN will succeed to all of the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets, for which CBAN as of the Effective Time will have paid valuable consideration and desires reasonable protection; and

WHEREAS, it is a material prerequisite to the consummation of the Merger that each director of LBC and Calumet Bank, including Director, enter into this Agreement.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and the mutual covenants and undertakings herein contained, CBAN and Director, each intending to be legally bound, covenant and agree as follows:

Section 1.Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Director acknowledges that (i) CBAN has separately bargained for the restrictive covenants in this Agreement; and (ii) the types and periods of restrictions imposed by the covenants in this Agreement are fair and reasonable to Director and such restrictions will not prevent Director from earning a livelihood.

(b) Having acknowledged the foregoing, solely in the event that the Merger is consummated, Director covenants and agrees with CBAN as follows:

(i) From and after the Effective Time, Director will not disclose or use any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets for so long as such information remains Confidential Information or a Trade Secret, as applicable, for any purpose, except for any disclosure that is required by applicable Law. In the event that Director is required by Law to disclose any Confidential Information, Director will: (A) if and to the extent permitted by such Law, provide CBAN with prompt notice of such requirement prior to the disclosure so that CBAN may waive the requirements of this Agreement or seek an appropriate protective order at CBAN’s sole expense; and (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that any Confidential Information disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment. If, in the absence of a waiver or protective order, Director is nonetheless, in the opinion of his or her counsel, required to disclose Confidential Information, disclosure may be made only as to that portion of the Confidential Information that counsel advises Director is required to be disclosed.

(ii) Except as expressly provided on Schedule I to this Agreement, for a period beginning at the Effective Time and ending two (2) years after the Effective Time, Director will not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of CBAN), on Director’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit or attempt to solicit any customer of CBAN, Colony Bank, LBC or Calumet Bank (each a “Protected Party”), including actively sought prospective customers of Calumet Bank as of the Effective Time, for the purpose of providing products or services that are Competitive (as hereinafter defined) with those offered or provided by any Protected Party.

(iii) Except as expressly provided on Schedule I to this Agreement, for a period beginning at the Effective Time and ending two (2) years after the Effective Time, Director will not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of CBAN), either directly or indirectly, on Director’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, act as a director, manager, officer or employee of any business which is the same as or essentially the same as the business conducted by any Protected Party and which has an office located within the Restricted Territory.

(iv) For a period beginning at the Effective Time and ending two (2) years after the Effective Time, Director will not, on Director’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit or recruit or attempt to solicit or recruit, directly or by assisting others, any employee of any Protected Party, whether or not such employee is a full-time employee or a temporary employee of such Protected Party, whether or not such employment is pursuant to a written agreement and whether or not such employment is for a determined period or is at will, to cease working for such Protected Party; provided that the foregoing will not prevent the placement of any general solicitation for employment not specifically directed towards employees of any Protected Party or hiring any such person as a result thereof.

(i) “Competitive,” with respect to particular products or services, means products or services that are the same as or similar to the products or services of any Protected Party.

(ii) “Confidential Information” means data and information:

(A) relating to the business of LBC and its Subsidiaries, including Calumet Bank, regardless of whether the data or information constitutes a Trade Secret;

(B) disclosed to Director or of which Director became aware as a consequence of Director’s relationship with LBC and/or Calumet Bank;

(C) having value to LBC and/or Calumet Bank and, as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, CBAN and/or Colony Bank; and

(D) not generally known to competitors of LBC or CBAN (including competitors to Calumet Bank or Colony Bank).

Confidential Information shall include Trade Secrets, methods of operation, names of customers, price lists, financial information and projections, personnel data and similar information; provided, however, that the terms “Confidential Information” and “Trade Secrets” shall not mean data or information that (x) has been disclosed to the public, except where such public disclosure has been made by Director without authorization from LBC or CBAN, (y) has been independently developed and disclosed by others, or (z) has otherwise entered the public domain through lawful means.

(iii) “Restricted Territory” means each county in Georgia where Calumet Bank operates a banking office at the Effective Time and each county contiguous to each of such counties.

(iv) “Trade Secret” means information, without regard to form, including technical or nontechnical data, a formula, a pattern, a compilation, a program, a device, a method, a technique, a drawing, a process, financial data, financial plans, product plans or a list of actual or potential customers or suppliers, that is not commonly known by or available to the public and which information:

(A) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and

(B) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

(d) Director acknowledges that irreparable loss and injury would result to CBAN upon the breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 1 and that damages arising out of such breach would be difficult to ascertain. Director hereby agrees that, in addition to all other remedies provided at law or in equity, CBAN may petition and obtain from a court of law or equity, without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting any bond or other security, both temporary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent a breach by Director of any covenant contained in this Section 1, and shall be entitled to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising out of any such breach. In the event that the provisions of this Section 1 should ever be determined to exceed the time, geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable Law, then such provisions shall be modified so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by Law. If such provision(s) cannot be modified to be enforceable, the provision(s) shall be severed from this Agreement to the extent unenforceable. The remaining provisions and any partially enforceable provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 2.Term;Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the written consent of the parties hereto, and this Agreement shall be automatically terminated upon the earlier of (i) termination of the Merger Agreement; (ii) two (2) years following the Effective Time or (iii) upon a Change in Control of CBAN (as defined in Schedule I). For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 1 shall only become operative upon the consummation of the Merger but, in such event, shall survive the consummation of the Merger until the earlier of (a) two (2) years after the Effective Time or (b) upon a Change in Control of CBAN. Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder, except that termination of this Agreement will not relieve a breaching party from liability for any breach of any provision of this Agreement occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder to a party shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given if delivered (a) personally, (b) by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), with adequate postage prepaid thereon, (c) by properly addressed electronic mail delivery (with confirmation of delivery receipt), or (d) by reputable courier service to such party at its address set forth below, or at such other address or addresses as such party may specify from time to time by notice in like manner to the parties hereto. All notices shall be deemed effective upon delivery.
