Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Agreement shall not be applicable to any shares of Acquiror Stock allocated to the account of a Principal Stockholder under the Acquiror ESOP.

Section 3.              Voting Agreement. Each Principal Stockholder hereby agrees that at any meeting of Acquiror’s stockholders however called, and in any action by written consent of Acquiror’s stockholders, such Principal Stockholder shall vote, or cause to be voted, all shares of Acquiror Stock now or at any time hereafter owned or controlled by him or her at the time of such meeting of Acquiror’s stockholders or action by written consent:

(a)            for the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and in favor of the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions as described in the Merger Agreement;

(b)            for the approval of the Acquiror Stock Issuance; and

(c)            against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation of Acquiror under the Merger Agreement.

Additionally, each Principal Stockholder hereby agrees that such Principal Stockholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person to vote or give instructions in any manner inconsistent with this Section 3.

Section 4.              Additional Covenants. Except as required by law, each Principal Stockholder agrees that he or she will:

(a)            not, and will not permit any of his or her Affiliates (which shall not include any other Principal Stockholder or Acquiror) to, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or permit to be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, any Acquiror Stock owned of record or beneficially by such Principal Stockholder, whether such shares of Acquiror Stock are owned of record or beneficially by such Principal Stockholder on the date of this Agreement or are subsequently acquired by any method, except: (i) for transfers by will or by operation of law (in which case this Agreement shall bind the transferee); (ii) a transfer for estate and tax planning purposes, subject in each case to the transferee agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; (iii) with the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), for any sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions necessitated by hardship; (iv) net settlement of a Principal Stockholders’ stock options, restricted stock units, or other equity awards under Acquiror Stock Plans to pay the exercise price thereof and satisfy any tax withholding obligations; (v) withholding of Acquiror Stock in connection with vesting of any stock options, restricted stock units, or other equity awards under Acquiror Stock Plans to satisfy tax withholding obligations; and (vi) as the Company may otherwise agree in writing;

(c)            execute and deliver such additional instruments and documents and take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to comply with his or her respective obligations under this Agreement.

Section 5.              No Economic Benefit. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in the Company any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any of the Acquiror Stock. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Acquiror Stock shall remain and belong to the applicable stockholder and the Company shall have no power or authority to direct any stockholder in the voting of any of the Acquiror Stock or the performance by any stockholder of its duties or responsibilities as a stockholder of Acquiror, except as otherwise provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, this is a voting and support agreement only, and is not to be interpreted as a written consent to the Merger or as granting the Company a proxy to vote the Acquiror Stock subject to this Agreement.

Section 6.              Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the earlier of: (a) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement as set forth in Article 10 thereof, as such termination provisions may be amended by Acquiror and the Company from time to time; (b) the date of the Acquiror Stockholder Approval; (c) the date, if any, on which Acquiror publicly discloses that the Acquiror Board has made an Acquiror Adverse Recommendation; or (d) the date, if any, on which the Company discloses that the Company Board has made a Company Adverse Recommendation.

Section 9.              Absence of Control. Subject to any specific provisions of this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the Company by reason of this Agreement shall not be deemed (until consummation of the Contemplated Transactions) to control, directly or indirectly, Acquiror and shall not exercise, or be deemed to exercise, directly or indirectly, a controlling influence over the management or policies of Acquiror.

Section 10.            Informed Action. Each Principal Stockholder acknowledges that he or she has had an opportunity to be advised by counsel of his or her choosing with regard to this Agreement and the transactions and consequences contemplated hereby. Each Principal Stockholder further acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Merger Agreement and is familiar with its terms.

Section 11.            Severability. The parties agree that if any provision of this Agreement shall under any circumstances be deemed invalid or inoperative, this Agreement shall be construed with the invalid or inoperative provisions deleted and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

Section 12.            Counterparts; PDF Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed and accepted by portable data file (pdf) signature and any such signature shall be of the same force and effect as an original signature.

Section 13.            Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the performance of the obligations imposed by this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made and wholly to be performed in such state without regard to conflicts of laws.

Section 14.            Successors; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and Acquiror, and their successors and permitted assigns, and the Principal Stockholders and their respective spouses, executors, personal representatives, administrators, heirs, legatees, guardians and other legal representatives. This Agreement shall survive the death or incapacity of any Principal Stockholder. This Agreement may be assigned only by the Company, and then only to an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 15.            Directors’ Duties. The parties hereto acknowledge that each Principal Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in his or her capacity as a stockholder of Acquiror and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to (a) require any Principal Stockholder, in his or her capacity as a director and/or officer of Acquiror and/or Acquiror Bank, as applicable, to act or fail to act in accordance with his or her fiduciary duties in such director and/or officer capacity or (b) prohibit or otherwise impair the right or ability of any Principal Stockholder to exercise his or her fiduciary duties in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Acquiror, including by voting in his or her capacity as a director to effectuate an Acquiror Adverse Recommendation, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Furthermore, no Principal Stockholder makes any agreement or understanding herein in his or her capacity as a director and/or officer of Acquiror and/or Acquiror Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section shall in any way limit, modify or abrogate any of the obligations of the Principal Stockholders hereunder to vote the shares of Acquiror Stock owned by him or her in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and not to transfer any shares except as permitted by this Agreement.

Section 16.            WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
