{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -1- AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of November 17, 2016 (this “Agreement”), by and between Cascade Bancorp, an Oregon corporation (the “Company”), and First Interstate BancSystem, Inc., a Montana corporation (“Parent”). W I T N E S S E T H: WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent and the Company have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and their shareholders to consummate the strategic business combination transaction provided for herein, pursuant to which the Company will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, merge with and into Parent (the “Merger”), so that Parent is the surviving corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger; WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent and the Company have adopted and approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, and the Boards of Directors of Parent and the Company have resolved to recommend that the shareholders of each of Parent and the Company, respectively, approve and adopt this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger; WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 356 and 361 of the Code; WHEREAS, this Agreement constitutes a “plan of merger” within the meaning of the MBCA and OBCA; WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement for each party to enter into this Agreement, certain shareholders of the Company and Parent have simultaneously herewith entered into voting agreements substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Voting Agreement,” and collectively, the “Voting Agreements”) in connection with the Merger; and WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements specified in this Agreement in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I THE MERGER 1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the Montana Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”) and the

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -2- Oregon Business Corporation Act (the “OBCA”), at the Effective Time, the Company shall merge with and into Parent. Parent shall be the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Montana. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Company shall terminate. 1.2 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place by mail or electronic delivery, or by mutual agreement of the parties, at the offices of Luse Gorman, PC, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on a date which shall be no later than three (3) business days after the satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable law) of the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof (other than those conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof), unless another date, time or place is agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.” 1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the parties shall execute, and Parent shall cause to be filed articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Montana (the “Montana Secretary”) and the Secretary of State of the State of Oregon (the “Oregon Secretary”) and, as applicable, plans of merger, to the extent required by the relevant provisions of the MBCA and of the OBCA, respectively (collectively, the “Articles of Merger”). The Merger shall become effective at such time as designated in the Articles of Merger, or as otherwise agreed by the parties. The term “Effective Time” shall be the date and time when the Merger becomes effective, as set forth in the Articles of Merger. 1.4 Effects of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the MBCA and the OBCA. 1.5 Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder of any of the following securities: (a) Subject to Section 2.2(e) and as noted below, each share of the common stock, no par value, of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Common Stock”), except for the Cancelled Shares, shall be converted into the right to receive, without interest, (i) 0.14864 shares (the “Exchange Ratio,” and such shares, the “Stock Consideration”) of the Class A common stock, no par value per share, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) and (ii) $1.91 in cash (the “Cash Consideration,” together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”); it being understood that upon the Effective Time, pursuant to Section 1.6, the Parent Common Stock, including the shares issued to former holders of Company Common Stock, shall be the common stock of the Surviving Corporation. (b) All of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article I shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate (each, an “Old Certificate,” it being understood that any reference herein to “Old Certificate” shall be deemed to include reference to book-entry account statements relating to the

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -3- ownership of shares of Company Common Stock) previously representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive (i) the Merger Consideration, including without duplication, cash in lieu of fractional shares which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Section 1.5 and Section 2.2(e), and (ii) any dividends or distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(b), in each case, upon the surrender of such Old Certificates in accordance with Section 2.2 and without any interest thereon. If, prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company 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, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in capitalization, or there shall be any extraordinary dividend or distribution, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio and the Merger Consideration to give holders of Company Common Stock and Parent the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit Parent or the Company to take any action with respect to its securities or otherwise that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement. (c) At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock that are directly owned by the Company or Parent (in each case, other than shares of Company Common Stock held, directly or indirectly, by Parent or the Company in respect of debt previously contracted or held in a fiduciary capacity) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no Merger Consideration or other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (such cancelled shares, the “Cancelled Shares”). (d) In accordance with Section 60.554 of the OBCA, no dissenters’ rights shall be available to the holders of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 1.6 Parent Common Stock. At and after the Effective Time, each share of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain an issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall not be affected by the Merger. 1.7 Treatment of Company Equity Awards. (a) Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each option to purchase Company Common Stock granted by the Company (a “Company Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and, subject to Parent’s receipt of an option surrender agreement in the form set forth in Section 1.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, the holder shall be entitled to receive, on the Closing Date, a cash payment, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, with respect thereto equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration Value over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of the Effective Time. “Merger Consideration Value” means the sum of (A) the Cash Consideration and (B) the product of (1) the Exchange Ratio times (2) the Parent Share Closing

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -4- Price. If the per share exercise price of a Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration Value, such Company Option shall be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration. (b) Company Restricted Stock Awards. At the Effective Time, each award of shares of Company Common Stock subject to vesting or repurchase granted by the Company that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Restricted Stock Award”) shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Restricted Stock Award, without interest. (c) Company Restricted Stock Unit Awards. At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award in respect of shares of Company Common Stock granted by the Company (a “Company RSU Award”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and, subject to Parent’s receipt of an RSU surrender agreement in the form set forth in Section 1.7(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, the holder shall be entitled to receive on the Closing Date, a cash payment, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, with respect thereto equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Merger Consideration Value. “Merger Consideration Value” has the same meaning as provided in Section 1.7(a) of this Agreement. (d) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company and its Compensation Committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.7. 1.8 Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of Parent (the “Parent Articles”), as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, subject to the approval by the shareholders of Parent by the Requisite Amendment Vote, be amended and restated as set forth in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Articles Amendment”), and as so amended and restated shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter duly amended in accordance with the terms thereof and applicable law. 1.9 Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Parent (the “Parent Bylaws”), as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter duly amended in accordance with the terms thereof and applicable law. 1.10 Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for the purposes of Sections 354, 356 and 361 of the Code. 1.11 Bank Merger. Immediately following the Merger, Bank of the Cascades (“Company Bank”), an Oregon stock bank and a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, will merge (the “Bank Merger”) with and into First Interstate Bank (“Parent Bank”), a

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -5- Montana state-chartered commercial bank and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent. Parent Bank shall be the surviving entity in the Bank Merger (the “Surviving Bank”) and, following the Bank Merger, the separate corporate existence of Company Bank shall cease. The parties agree that the Bank Merger shall become effective immediately after the Effective Time. Promptly after the date of this Agreement, Parent Bank and Company Bank will enter into an agreement and plan of merger in form and substance agreed to by Parent and the Company, which shall be customary for mergers similar to the Bank Merger (the “Bank Merger Agreement”). The Company shall cause Company Bank, and Parent shall cause Parent Bank, to execute such articles of merger and such other documents and certificates as are necessary to make the Bank Merger effective (“Bank Merger Articles”) immediately following the Effective Time. ARTICLE II EXCHANGE OF SHARES 2.1 Parent to Make Merger Consideration Available. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with an exchange agent designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, (a) certificates or, at Parent’s option, evidence of shares in book-entry form, representing the shares of Parent Common Stock (collectively, referred to herein as “New Certificates”), to be delivered to the holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.5, and (b) cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Cash Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares required to be paid to holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Article II (such New Certificates and cash, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). 2.2 Exchange of Shares. (a) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than ten (10) days thereafter, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time that have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Article I, (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates in exchange for New Certificates representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares, and the Cash Consideration which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificates shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement, as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(b). Upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Old Certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a New Certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder of Company Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -6- Article I and (ii) a check representing the amount of (A) the Cash Consideration which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II and (C) any dividends or distributions which the holder presenting such Old Certificate or Old Certificates has the right to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2, and the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration, dividends or distributions or cash in lieu of fractional shares payable to holders of Old Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Old Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or in respect of dividends or distributions as contemplated by this Section 2.2. (b) No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate until such holder shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with this Article II. After the surrender of an Old Certificate in accordance with this Article II, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the whole shares of Parent Common Stock that the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive. (c) If any New Certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a New Certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. (d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than to settle transfers of such Company Common Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Old Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article II. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no New Certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Parent. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall pay in accordance with

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -7- Section 2.2(a) to each former holder of Company Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the average of the closing price per share of Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ as reported by The Wall Street Journal for the consecutive period of twenty (20) full trading days ending on the fifth day immediately preceding the Closing Date (or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Company) (the “Parent Share Closing Price”) by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest one-thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5. The parties acknowledge that payment of such cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained-for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares. (f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Common Stock for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any former holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore exchanged their Old Certificates in compliance with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect of each former share of Company Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. (g) Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from any Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, cash dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate governmental authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made by Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be. (h) In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the Merger Consideration and any

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -8- cash in lieu of fractional shares, deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement, and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b). (i) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Parent, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion, shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing (i) the validity of any Letter of Transmittal and compliance by any holder of Company Common Stock with the procedures and instructions set forth herein and therein, (ii) the issuance and delivery of the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Company Common Stock are converted in the Merger and (iii) the method of payment of the Cash Consideration and the cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock. ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY Except as disclosed in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent concurrently herewith (the “Company Disclosure Schedules”); provided that (i) no such item is required to be set forth 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, (ii) the mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedules as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by the Company 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 and (iii) any disclosures made with respect to a section of Article III shall be deemed to qualify (a) any other section of Article III specifically referenced or cross- referenced and (b) other sections of Article III to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face (notwithstanding the absence of a specific reference or cross-reference) from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure applies to such other sections the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows: 3.1 Corporate Organization. (a) The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Oregon, and is a bank holding company duly registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHC Act”). The Company has the corporate power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, any effect, change, event, circumstance, condition, occurrence or development that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had a material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, assets, liabilities, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of such party and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (provided, however, that, with respect to this clause (i), Material Adverse Effect shall not

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -9- be deemed to include the impact of (A) changes, after the date hereof, in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or applicable regulatory accounting requirements, (B) changes, after the date hereof, in laws, rules or regulations of general applicability to companies in the industries in which such party and its Subsidiaries operate, or interpretations thereof by courts or Governmental Entities, including changes in Federal or state tax laws, (C) changes, after the date hereof, in global, national or regional political conditions (including the outbreak of war or acts of terrorism) or in economic or market conditions affecting the financial services industry generally and not specifically relating to such party or its Subsidiaries, (D) changes, after the date hereof, in prevailing interest rates, currency exchange rates, credit or United States capital markets conditions, or other financial, economic or monetary conditions in the United States or elsewhere, in each case affecting the financial services industry generally and not specifically relating to such party or its Subsidiaries, (E) changes proximately caused by the public disclosure or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (provided that this exception shall not apply for purposes of the representations and warranties in Section 3.3(b) or Section 4.3(b)) or actions or omissions expressly required by this Agreement or that are taken or omitted to be taken with the express prior written consent of the other party in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (F) any failure by a party to meet internal or published projections, forecasts, performance measures, operating statistics or revenue or earnings predictions for any period (it being understood that the underlying facts and circumstances giving rise to such failure may be deemed to constitute, and may be taken into account in determining whether there has been or would reasonably be expected to be, a Material Adverse Effect if such facts and circumstances are not otherwise excluded pursuant to clauses (A)-(E) of this definition); except, with respect to subclauses (A), (B), (C) or (D), to the extent that the effects of such change are disproportionately adverse to such party and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other companies similarly situated in the industry in which such party and its Subsidiaries operate) or (ii) the ability of such party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. As used in this Agreement, the word “Subsidiary” when used with respect to any person, means any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, bank or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, or person of which (i) such first person directly or indirectly owns or controls at least a majority of the securities or other interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or others performing similar functions or (ii) such first person is or directly or indirectly has the power to appoint a general partner, manager or managing member or others performing similar functions. True and complete copies of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Company Articles”) and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Company Bylaws”), as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, have previously been made available by the Company to Parent. (b) Each Subsidiary of the Company (a “Company Subsidiary”) (i) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) is duly qualified to do business and, where such concept is recognized under applicable law, in good standing in all jurisdictions (whether federal, state, local or foreign) where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified and in which the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and (iii) has all requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted. There are no restrictions on the ability of any Subsidiary of the Company to pay dividends or

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -10- distributions except, in the case of a Subsidiary that is a regulated entity, for restrictions on dividends or distributions generally applicable to all such regulated entities. The deposit accounts of each Subsidiary of the Company that is an insured depository institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) through the Deposit Insurance Fund (as defined in Section 3(y) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950) to the fullest extent permitted by law, all premiums and assessments required to be paid in connection therewith have been paid when due, and no proceedings for the termination of such insurance are pending or threatened.

No Subsidiary of the Company owns any capital stock of the Company. (b) Other than the Voting Agreements and as set forth on Section 3.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, there are no voting trusts, shareholder agreements, proxies or similar agreements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of the Company Common Stock or other voting securities or equity interests of the Company or granting any shareholder or other person any registration rights.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger have been duly and validly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Merger, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and has directed that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for consideration and approval at a meeting of such shareholders and has adopted a resolution to the foregoing effect and recommending that the shareholders of the Company approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Except for the adoption and approval of this Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Requisite Company Vote”), the adoption and approval of the Bank Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Bank Merger) by the Board of Directors of Company Bank and the Company as its sole shareholder, and the adoption of resolutions to give effect to the provisions of Section 6.11 in connection with the Closing, no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to approve this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company has amended and restated the Company Bylaws in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto.1 (b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company nor the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by the Company with any of the terms or provisions hereof, will (i) violate any provision of the Company Articles or the Company Bylaws or (ii) assuming that the consents, approvals and filings referred to in Section 3.4 are duly obtained and/or made, as applicable, (x) violate any law, statute, code, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ, decree or injunction applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets or (y) violate, conflict with, result in a breach of any provision of or the loss of any benefit under, constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, result in the termination of or a right of termination or cancellation under, accelerate the performance required by, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the respective properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or by which they or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound, except (in the case of clause (y) above) for such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults that, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. 3.4 Consents and Approvals.

(b) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due), except for liabilities (i) that are reflected or reserved against on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016 (including any notes thereto) (ii) incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since June 30, 2016, or (iii) incurred in connection with or expressly contemplated by this Agreement, in each case, which would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

There is no reason to believe that the Company’s outside auditors and its chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, without qualification, when next due. (d) Since January 1, 2013, (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, auditor, accountant or representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, has received or otherwise has had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods (including with respect to loan loss reserves, write-downs, charge-offs and accruals) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective internal accounting controls, including any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices, and (ii) no attorney representing the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, has reported evidence of a material violation of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof or to the Knowledge of the Company, to any director or officer of the Company. 3.7 Broker’s Fees.

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -40- Benefit Plan” means each employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), whether or not subject to ERISA, and each bonus, stock option, stock purchase, restricted stock, equity or equity-based, incentive, deferred compensation, retiree medical or life insurance, welfare benefit plans (including vacation and paid time off policies and other material benefit policies and procedures), supplemental retirement, severance or other benefit plan, program or arrangement, and each retention, bonus, employment, change in control, termination, severance plan, program or arrangement (i) to or with respect to which Parent or any Subsidiary or any trade or business of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not incorporated, all of which together with Parent would be deemed a “single employer” within the meaning of Section 4001 of ERISA (a “Parent ERISA Affiliate”), is a party or has or, would reasonably be expected to have, any current or future obligation or (ii) that is maintained, contributed to or sponsored, or is required to be contributed to, by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any Parent ERISA Affiliate for the benefit of any current or former employee, officer, director or independent contractor of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any Parent ERISA Affiliate.

Each such VEBA has received an exemption letter from the IRS that

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -41- the form of such VEBA satisfies the requirements of Code Section 501(c)(9), which letter has not been revoked (nor has revocation been threatened), and, to the Knowledge of Parent, there are no existing circumstances and no events have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur that could adversely affect the continued exemption of such VEBA or increase the costs relating thereto.

(h) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consumma- tion of the transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) result in, cause the vesting, exercisability or delivery of, or increase the amount or value of, any payment, right or other benefit to any employee, officer, director or other service provid- er of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or result in any limitation on the right of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, merge, terminate or receive a reversion of assets from any Parent Ben- efit Plan or related trust. (i) There are no pending, or to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened claims (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course), lawsuits or arbitrations that have been asserted or instituted, and, to Parent’s Knowledge, no set of circumstances exists that may reasonably give rise to a claim or lawsuit, against the Parent Benefit Plans, any fiduciaries thereof with respect to their duties to Parent Benefit Plans or the assets of any of the trusts under any of Parent Benefit Plans that could reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to the PBGC, the IRS, the Department of Labor, any

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -42- Multiemployer Plan, a Multiple Employer Plan, any participant in a Parent Benefit Plan, or any other party. (j) None of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries nor any Parent ERISA Affiliate nor any other person, including any fiduciary, has engaged in any “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA), which could subject any of Parent Benefit Plans or their related trusts, Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, any Parent ERISA Affiliate or any person that Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has an obligation to indemnify, to any material tax or penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.

All interest rate swaps, caps, floors, option agreements, futures and forward contracts and other similar derivative transactions and risk management arrangements, whether entered into for the account of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or for the account of a customer of Parent or one of its Subsidiaries, were entered into in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable rules, regulations and policies of any Regulatory Agency and with counterparties reasonably believed to be financially responsible at the time and are legal, valid and binding obligations of Parent or one of its Subsidiaries enforceable in accordance with their terms (except as may be limited by an Enforceability Exception), and are in full force and effect.

Parent and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to the Company or Parent, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties hereto agree that they will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated herein.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned, any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or materially delay the Closing, and (ii) avoid or eliminate each and every impediment so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as possible, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of businesses or assets of Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries.

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -52- (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall Parent be required, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be permitted (without Parent’s written consent), to (i) take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition, restriction, prohibition, limitation or requirement in connection with obtaining the foregoing permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of Governmental Entities that would prohibit or materially limit the ownership or operation of the business or assets of the Company, materially limit the business conducted by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or compel any of them to dispose of or hold separate any material portion of the business or assets of the Company or would reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (measured on a scale relative to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), or the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case after giving effect to the Merger (a “Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition”) or (ii) agree to any Loss Share Agreement Condition; provided that, if requested by Parent, then the Company and its Subsidiaries will take or commit to take any such action, or agree to any such condition or restriction, prohibition, limitation or requirement, so long as such action, commitment, agreement, condition or restriction is binding on the Company and its Subsidiaries only in the event the Closing occurs. (e) Parent and the Company shall, upon request, promptly furnish each other with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Joint Proxy Statement, the S-4 or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (f) Parent 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 any Requisite Regulatory Approval will not be obtained, or will be obtained subject to a Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition, or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed. 6.2 Access to Information. (a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws, each of Parent and the Company, for the purposes of verifying the representations and warranties of the other and preparing for the Merger and the other matters contemplated by this Agreement, shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel, advisors and other representatives of the other party, access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel, information technology systems, and records, and each shall cooperate with the other party in preparing to execute after the Effective Time conversion or consolidation of systems and business operations generally, and, during such period, each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, make available to the other party (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -53- by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws or federal or state banking laws (other than reports or documents which Parent or the Company, as the case may be, is not permitted to disclose under applicable law), and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such party may reasonably request. Neither Parent nor the Company nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of Parent’s or the Company’s, as the case may be, customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the institution in possession or control of such information (after giving due consideration to the existence of any common interest, joint defense or similar agreement between the parties) or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties hereto will make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. (b) Each of Parent and the Company shall hold all information furnished by or on behalf of the other party or any of such party’s Subsidiaries or representatives pursuant to Section 6.2(a) in confidence to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the provisions of the confidentiality agreement, dated March 18, 2016, between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). (c) No investigation by either of the parties or their respective representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive the representations and warranties of the other set forth herein. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give either party, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the other party prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each party shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations. (d) The Company and Parent shall meet on a regular basis to discuss and plan for the conversion of the Company’s data processing and related electronic informational systems to those used by Parent, which planning shall include, but not be limited to, discussion of the possible termination by the Company of third-party service provider arrangements effective at the Effective Time or at a date thereafter, non-renewal of personal property leases and software licenses used by the Company in connection with its systems operations, retention of outside consultants and additional employees to assist with the conversion, and outsourcing, as appropriate, of proprietary or self-provided system services, it being understood that the Company shall not be obligated to take any such action prior to the Effective Time, that any such action taken will be at no cost to the Company, that any such actions taken by employees of the Company shall not unreasonably interfere with the job performance of such employees and, unless the Company otherwise agrees, no conversion shall take place prior to the Effective Time. 6.3 Shareholder Approvals. (a) Each of Parent and the Company shall call a meeting of its shareholders (the “Parent Meeting” and the “Company Meeting,” respectively) to be held as soon as reasonably practicable after the S-4 is declared effective, for the purpose of obtaining, in the case of the Company, the Requisite Company Vote and, in the case of the Parent, the Requisite Parent Vote and Requisite Amendment Vote, and, if so desired and mutually

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -54- agreed, upon other matters of the type customarily brought before a meeting of shareholders to approve a merger agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, and each shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such meetings to occur on the same date. Each of Parent and the Company and its respective Board of Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the shareholders of Parent and the Company, as the case may be, the Requisite Parent Vote and Requisite Amendment Vote, in the case of Parent, and the Requisite Company Vote, in the case of the Company, including (except as provided in Section 6.3(b)) by communicating to its respective shareholders its recommendation (and including such recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement) that they consider and approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (in the case of the Company, the “Company Board Recommendation” and in the case of Parent, the “Parent Board Recommendation”), and, except as provided in Section 6.3(b), shall not (i) withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to the other party or make any public statement inconsistent with the Company Board Recommendation, in the case of the Company, or the Parent Board Recommendation, in the case of Parent, (ii) fail to make the Company Board Recommendation, in the case of the Company, or the Parent Board Recommendation, in the case of Parent, in the Joint Proxy Statement, (iii) fail to publicly, definitively and without qualification reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation, in the case of the Company, or the Parent Board Recommendation, in the case of Parent, within three (3) business days after the other party’s written request (or such fewer number of days as remains prior to the Company Meeting or the Parent Meeting, as applicable) or (iv) with respect to the Company and the Company Board of Directors, adopt, approve, recommend or endorse an Acquisition Proposal or fail to publicly, definitively and without qualification issue a press release recommending against an Acquisition Proposal, within ten (10) business days after an Acquisition Proposal is made public (or such fewer number of days as remains prior to the Company Meeting), or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing (each of the actions in clauses (i)–(iii), with respect to the Company or Parent, as the case may be, and clause (iv), with respect to the Company, a “Recommendation Change”). (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to and in compliance with Section 6.12, prior to receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, in the case of the Company, or the Requisite Parent Vote, in the case of Parent, the Board of Directors of the Company or Parent, after consultation its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, determines in good faith that it would more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to continue to make the Company Board Recommendation or the Parent Board Recommendation, as the case may be, to its shareholders (and, in the event such determination is made by the Board of Directors of the Company in response to an Acquisition Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company has taken into account the expected timing of and regulatory conditions related to such Acquisition Proposal), the Company or Parent and its respective Board of Directors, as the case may be, may submit this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to its respective shareholders without recommendation or otherwise effect a Recommendation Change (although the resolutions adopting this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the Company or Parent and its respective Board of Directors, as the case may be, may communicate the basis for its Recommendation Change to its shareholders in the Joint Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by law; provided, that neither party nor its Board of Directors

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -55- may take any actions under this sentence unless (i) it gives the other party at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and a reasonable description of the event or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action (including, in the event such action is taken by the Company or its Board of Directors in response to an Acquisition Proposal, the latest material terms and conditions and the identity of the third party in any such Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment or modification thereof, including unredacted copies of any such Acquisition Proposal or other materials received in connection with or correspondence relating to, such Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment or modification thereof, (ii) during such notice period the Company or Parent and its Board of Directors, as the case may be, and its Representatives negotiate in good faith with the other party and its Representatives any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by such other party and (iii) at the end of such notice period, the Board of Directors takes into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed in writing by the other party prior to the expiration of such notice period, and after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that it would nevertheless continue to be more likely than not to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable law to continue to make the Company Board Recommendation or Parent Board Recommendation, as the case may be. Any change to the financial or other material terms of any Acquisition Proposal, or any material change to the event or circumstances giving rise to the applicable Board of Directors’ determination to effect a Recommendation Change during a notice period, will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal or a new such event or circumstance, as applicable, for purposes of this Section 6.3 and will require a new notice period as referred to in this Section 6.3, except that the notice period shall be three (3) business days. (c) Parent or the Company shall adjourn or postpone the Parent Meeting or the Company Meeting, as the case may be, if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled there are insufficient shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Class B Common Stock or Company Common Stock, as the case may be, represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if on the date of such meeting the Company or Parent, as applicable, has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Requisite Company Vote, in the case of the Company, or the Requisite Parent Vote or Requisite Amendment Vote, in the case of Parent; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent Parent or the Company from adjourning or postponing the Parent Meeting or the Company Meeting, as the case may be, to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Board of Directors of Parent or the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by such shareholders prior to the Parent Meeting or the Company Meeting, as the case may be. 6.4 Legal Conditions to Merger. Subject in all respects to Section 6.1 and Section 6.3 of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and the Bank Merger and,

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -56- subject to the conditions set forth in Article VII hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party that is advisable or required to be obtained by the Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger, the Bank Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 6.5 Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall file with the NASDAQ a notification form for the listing of all shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered as Merger Consideration prior to the Effective Time. 6.6 Employee Benefit Plans. (a) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary thereof (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each employee of Company and its Subsidiaries who continues to be employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) immediately following the Effective Time (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”), while employed by Parent and its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time, with compensation and employee benefits that are substantially comparable to the compensation and employee benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that any cash incentive compensation payable or earned in the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs shall be pro-rated to reflect the short year. Each Continuing Employee whose employment is involuntarily terminated by Parent or its Subsidiary during the Continuation Period for the reasons listed in the Company’s Severance Policy set forth in Section 6.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules) and who is not subject to an employment, change in control or other agreement that provides for the payment of severance, shall be entitled to receive severance payments and benefits determined in accordance with the Company’s Severance Policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that such Continuing Employee enters into a written release of claims against Parent in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to limit or terminate the rights of employees, officers or directors of the Company under individual agreements with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. (b) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause any employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries in which the Continuing Employees are eligible to participate following the Effective Time (collectively, the “Parent Plans”) to recognize the service of each Continuing Employee with the Company and its Subsidiaries (and any predecessor thereto) prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility, vesting and level of benefits (for purposes of vacation, paid time off and sick leave policies) under such Parent Plans; provided that such recognition of service shall not (i) apply for purposes of any Parent Plan that is a defined benefit retirement plan or any Parent Plan that provides retiree welfare benefits, (ii) operate to duplicate any benefits of a Continuing Employee with respect to the same period of service, (iii) apply for purposes of any plan, program or arrangement (x) under which similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries do not receive credit for prior service or (y) that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation or (iv) entitle a

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -57- Continuing Employee to be credited with more than 120 hours of vacation, paid time off and sick leave (collectively, “PTO”) on the Closing Date and to rollover more than eighty hours of PTO from one calendar year to a subsequent calendar year. With respect to any Parent Plan that provides medical, dental or vision insurance benefits, for the plan year in which such Continuing Employee is first eligible to participate, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) cause any preexisting condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such plan to be waived with respect to such Continuing Employee to the extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, (B) credit each Continuing Employee for any co-payments or deductibles incurred by such Continuing Employee in such plan year for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such Parent Plan, and (C) cause such credited expenses to also count toward any annual or lifetime limits, treatment or visit limits or similar limitations that apply under the terms of the applicable plan. (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates any right to continue in the employ or service of the Surviving Corporation, the Company, or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Surviving Corporation, Company, Parent or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof to discharge or terminate the services of any employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except as provided in written agreements with such employees, directors, or consultants. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Company Benefit Plan, Parent Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (ii) alter or limit the ability of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any particular Company Benefit Plan, Parent Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Effective Time except as provided in Section 6.6(a) and (b) above. Without limiting the generality of the final sentence of Section 9.11, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person other than the parties hereto, including without limitation any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. (d) Effective as of the day preceding the Effective Time, and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, the Company shall adopt such resolutions and/or amendments to cause the Company 401(k) Plan to be terminated (the “Plan Termination Date”) and the accounts of all participants and beneficiaries in the Company 401(k) Plan as of the Plan Termination Date to become fully vested as of the Plan Termination Date. The Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the resolutions and/or plan amendments evidencing that the Company 401(k) Plan has been terminated in accordance with its terms. The form and substance of such resolutions and any necessary amendments shall be subject to the review and approval of Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Company shall deliver to Parent an executed copy of such resolutions and any necessary amendments as soon as practicable following their adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall fully comply with such resolutions and any necessary amendments. The Surviving Corporation shall take all other actions necessary to complete the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, including filing a Final Form 5500 that

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -58- arise after the Effective Time. Parent agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to permit 401(k) Plan participants who become Continuing Employees to roll over their account balances in the Company 401(k) Plan to the Parent 401(k) Plan. Notwithstanding anything in this section to the contrary, employees of the Company who continue employment with the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time shall be eligible as of the Effective Time to participate in the Parent 401(k) Plan; it being agreed that there shall be no gap in participation in a 401(k) Plan. (e) The Company shall obtain from each of the individuals named in Section 6.6(e) of the Parent Disclosure Schedules an agreement, as of the date and in the form set forth in Section 6.6(e) of the Parent Disclosure Schedules, stipulating the estimated amount that each such individual is to receive as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any employment agreement or change in control agreement, as applicable, (the aggregate amounts of such payments to be specified in Parent Disclosure Schedule 6.6(e)). (f) For a period of six months following the Effective Time, Parent 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, in which it shall assist such employees in locating new employment and shall notify all such employees who want to be so notified of opportunities for positions with Parent or any of its Subsidiaries for which Parent 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 Parent; provided; further that the total costs expended for such job counseling and outplacement assistance services shall not exceed $150,000 in the aggregate. (g) Parent shall establish a retention bonus pool in an amount as provided in Parent Disclosure Schedule 6.6(g) for employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries jointly designated in writing by Parent and the Company (other than employees of the Company who are subject to employment contracts or other contracts providing for severance) to help retain key employees. The amount and payment date of the retention bonus for each such employee shall be jointly determined in writing by Parent and the Company, but in the aggregate shall equal the amount provided in Parent Disclosure Schedule 6.6(g) assuming all such key employees remain with the Parent or the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate to such date or are involuntarily terminated without cause prior to that date. (h) The Company shall take all such actions as Parent may reasonably request to fully and timely comply with any and all requirements of both federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 (“WARN Act”) and any state specific WARN Act statutes, including providing notices to the Company and Company Bank’s employees. 6.7 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. (a) From and after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent such persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company or any of its

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -59- Subsidiaries pursuant to the Company Articles, the Company Bylaws or comparable governing documents or any indemnification agreement in effect as of the date hereof (and shall also advance expenses as incurred to the extent provided under the Company Articles, Company Bylaws or comparable governing documents any such indemnification agreements as in effect as of the date of this Agreement), each present and former director and officer of the Company and its Subsidiaries (in each case, in such capacity) (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, amounts paid in settlement, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether arising before or after the Effective Time, arising out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and pertaining to any matter existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the enforcement of the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 6.7; provided, that the Company Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Company Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under applicable Law. (b) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company (provided, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be obligated to expend, in the aggregate, an amount in excess of 250% of the current annual premium paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which, in the Surviving Corporation’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium not exceeding the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, the Company, in consultation with, but only upon the consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), may (and at the request of Parent, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a six-year “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence, if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Premium Cap. (c) In the event that, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and other assets to any person, then, and in each case, the Surviving Corporation shall cause proper provision to be made so that such successors and assigns shall expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7. (d) The provisions of this Section 6.7 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives,

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -60- each of whom is expressly made a third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.7, and are in addition to, and are not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have from Parent, Parent Bank, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other person by contract or otherwise. The obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.7 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Company Indemnified Party unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law (in which case such termination or modification shall only be permitted to the extent required by such Law) or (y) the affected Company Indemnified Party has consented in writing to such termination or modification. 6.8 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement (including, any merger between a Subsidiary of Parent, on the one hand, and a Subsidiary of the Company, on the other) or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Merger, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by Parent. Effective as of and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, Parent hereby expressly assumes the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant and condition in the contracts set forth on Section 6.8 of the Company Disclosure Schedules to be performed and observed by the Company. 6.9 Advice of Changes. Parent and the Company shall each promptly advise the other party of any fact, effect, change, event, circumstance, condition, occurrence or development that (i) has had or is reasonably likely, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect on it or (ii) 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 VII; provided, that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any breach shall not be deemed to constitute a violation of this Section 6.9 or the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.2 or 7.3 to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case unless the underlying breach would independently result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 or 7.3 to be satisfied; and provided, further, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall not cure any breach of, or noncompliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice. 6.10 Shareholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any shareholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors or officers relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall give Parent an opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such litigation. The Company shall give Parent the right to consult on the defense and settlement with respect to such litigation, and the Company will in good faith take any comments of Parent into account, and no such settlement that provides for a monetary payment to the shareholders and not covered by an insurance policy (other than the payment of attorneys’ fees) shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, in the event the Company receives an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, it may, and may permit its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, (x) furnish or cause to be furnished confidential or nonpublic information or data to, (y) participate in negotiations or discussions with and (z) afford access to its and their personnel, properties, books, records and assets to the person making the Acquisition Proposal (and such person’s Representatives) if and only if its Board of Directors concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel, and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that failure to take such actions would be more likely than not to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, further, that prior to

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -62- providing any confidential or nonpublic information permitted to be provided pursuant to the foregoing proviso affording such access or participating in such negotiations or discussions, the Company shall have given Parent at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice and shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement with such third party on terms no less favorable to it than the Confidentiality Agreement, which confidentiality agreement shall not provide such person with any exclusive right to negotiate with the Company. The Company will, and will cause its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of this Agreement with any person other than Parent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and will request pursuant to any applicable confidentiality agreements the return or destruction of any information provided to any such person in connection therewith. The Company will promptly (and within twenty-four (24) hours) advise Parent following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and the substance thereof (including the terms and conditions of and the identity of the person making such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal) and will provide Parent an unredacted copy of such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and any draft agreements, proposals or other materials received in connection with such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal, and will keep Parent apprised of any related material developments, discussions and negotiations on a reasonably current basis, including any amendments to or revisions of the terms of such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal (including providing an unredacted copy of such amended or revised Acquisition Proposal and any further or revised draft agreements, proposals or other materials received in connection with such inquiry or Acquisition Proposal). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any existing confidentiality agreements to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in accordance with the terms hereof. As used in this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any offer, proposal or inquiry relating to, or any third party indication of interest in, (i) any acquisition or purchase, direct or indirect, of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or fifteen percent (15%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute fifteen percent (15%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company, (ii) any tender offer (including a self-tender offer), exchange offer or other acquisition of equity or voting securities that, if consummated, would result in such third party beneficially owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute fifteen percent (15%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company or (iii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company or its Subsidiaries whose assets, individually or in the aggregate, constitute fifteen percent (15%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company. (b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or its Board of Directors from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or making any other disclosure to the Company’s shareholders that the Company or its Board of Directors concludes in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside counsel) that the failure to make such disclosure would be more likely than not to result in a violation of applicable Law; provided, that such rules or other Law will in no way eliminate or modify the effect or consequences that any action pursuant to such rules would otherwise have under this Agreement, and any public disclosure or statement by the

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -63- Company or its Board of Directors in connection with an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a Recommendation Change unless the Company and its Board of Directors definitively and without qualification reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation and recommend against such Acquisition Proposal in such disclosure or statement. 6.13 Public Announcements. The parties hereto agree that the initial press release with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a release mutually agreed to by Parent and the Company.

Parent shall be empowered, at any time prior to the Effective Time, to change the method or structure of effecting the combination of the Company and Parent, if and to the extent reasonably requested by Parent, and the Company agrees to enter into such amendments to this Agreement as Parent may reasonably request to give effect to such restructuring; provided, however, that no such change or amendment shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration or payment to or treatment of any Company Equity Awards provided for in this Agreement, (ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of the Merger with respect to the shareholders of the Company or of Parent pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of the Merger with respect to the Company or Parent pursuant to this Agreement or (iv) impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the receipt of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals, the Requisite Company Vote, the Requisite Parent Vote or the Requisite Amendment Vote. 6.15 Takeover Statutes.

If any Takeover Statute may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, each party and their respective Boards of Directors will grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and thereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Statute on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, if necessary, challenging the validity or applicability of any such Takeover Statute. 6.16 Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b). The Company and Parent agree that, to most effectively compensate and retain those officers and directors of the Company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (the “Company Insiders”), both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that the Company

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -64- Insiders not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in connection with the conversion of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Equity Awards in the Merger, and for that compensatory and retentive purpose agree to the provisions of this Section 6.16. The Company shall deliver to Parent in a reasonably timely fashion prior to the Effective Time accurate information regarding the Company Insiders, and the Board of Directors of Parent and of the Company, or a committee of non-employee directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act), shall reasonably promptly thereafter, and in any event prior to the Effective Time, take all such steps as may be required to cause (in the case of Company) any dispositions of Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards by the Company Insiders, and (in the case of Parent) any acquisitions of Parent Common Stock by any Company Insiders who, immediately following the Merger, will be officers or directors of the Surviving Corporation subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, in each case, pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to be exempt from liability pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 6.17 Termination of Securities Purchase Agreements.

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -68- agreements of such party set forth herein; provided, that, if all other conditions to close have been satisfied or waived except as set forth in Section 7.1(c), either Parent or the Company shall have the option, each in its sole discretion, to extend the Termination Date for an additional six- month period; (d) by either Parent or the Company (provided, that the terminating party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein), if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties (or any such representation or warranty shall cease to be true) set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Company, in the case of a termination by Parent, or Parent, in the case of a termination by the Company, 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 a condition set forth in Section 7.2, in the case of a termination by Parent, or Section 7.3, in the case of a termination by the Company, and which is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice to the Company, in the case of a termination by Parent, or Parent, in the case of a termination by the Company, or by its nature or timing cannot be cured during such period (or such fewer days as remain prior to the Termination Date); (e) by the Company, if Parent or the Board of Directors of Parent shall have (i) made a Recommendation Change of Parent, or (ii) breached its obligations under Section 6.3 in any material respect; (f) by Parent, if the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company shall have (i) made a Recommendation Change of the Company, or (ii) breached its obligations under Sections 6.3 or 6.12 in any material respect; or (g) by either Parent or the Company if (i) the Requisite Parent Vote and the Requisite Amendment Vote are not obtained at the Parent Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof or (ii) the Requisite Company Vote is not obtained at the Company Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. (h) by the Company at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Vote to enter into an agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, but only if (i) the Company’s Board of Directors has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors) that failure to take such action would be more likely than not to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (ii) the Company has not materially breached its obligations under Section 6.12. 8.2 Effect of Termination. (a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Parent or the Company as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of Parent, the Company, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except that (i) Sections 6.2(b)

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -69- (Access to Information (Confidentiality)), Section 8.1 (Termination), this Section 8.2 (Effect of Termination) and Article IX (General Provisions) shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement. (b) In the event that, after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement, (i) a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been communicated to or otherwise made known to the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company or has been made directly to the shareholders of the Company, or any person shall have publicly announced an Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company, (ii) thereafter this Agreement is terminated (A) by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c) (but only if (x) such Acquisition Proposal was made directly to the shareholders of the Company or otherwise publicly announced prior to the Company Meeting and (y) the Company shall have failed to obtain the Requisite Company Vote at the duly convened Company Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof at which a vote on the approval of this Agreement was taken), (B) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or (C) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(g)(ii), and (iii) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement or consummates a transaction with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal as that referred to above), then the Company shall, on the earlier of the date it enters into such definitive agreement or the date of consummation of such transaction, as applicable, pay Parent, by wire transfer of same-day funds, a fee equal to 3.75% of aggregate merger consideration, or $[●] (the “Termination Fee”); provided, that for purposes of this Section 8.2(b), all references in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to “fifteen percent (15%)” shall instead refer to “fifty percent (50%).” (c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(f) or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(h), then the Company shall pay Parent, by wire transfer of same day funds, the Termination Fee on the date of termination. (d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(e), then Parent shall pay the Company, by wire transfer of same day funds, the Termination Fee on the date of termination. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but without limiting the right of any party to recover liabilities or damages arising out of the other party’s willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement, in the event that this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 8.1, the maximum aggregate amount of monetary fees, liabilities or damages payable by a single party under this Agreement shall be equal to the Termination Fee, and neither the Company nor Parent shall be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. (f) Each of Parent and the Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent and the Company, respectively, would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if either party fails promptly to pay the amount due

{Clients/1598/00283791.DOCX/11 } -70- pursuant to this Section 8.2, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit which results in a judgment against the non-paying party for the Termination Fee or any portion thereof, such non-paying party shall pay the costs and expenses of the other party (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit. In addition, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to pay the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.2, then such party shall pay interest on such overdue amounts 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 and ending on the date that such overdue amount is actually paid in full. ARTICLE IX GENERAL PROVISIONS 9.1 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

Subject to compliance with applicable law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, at any time before or after receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, in the case of the Company, or the Requisite Parent Vote and Requisite Amendment Vote, in the case of Parent, respectively; provided, however, that after the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, in the case of the Company, or the Requisite Parent Vote and Requisite Amendment Vote, in the case of Parent, respectively, there may not be, without further approval of such shareholders, any amendment of this Agreement that requires further approval under applicable law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. 9.3 Extension; Waiver.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
