Shareholder Approvals (a) Each of CBC and SCB shall call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “CBC Meeting” and the “SCB Meeting,” respectively) to be held as soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective, for the purpose of obtaining (a) in the case of CBC, the CBC Shareholder Approval and, in the case of SCB, the SCB Shareholder Approval required in connection with this Agreement and the Merger and (b) if so desired and mutually agreed, a vote upon other matters of the type customarily brought before a meeting of shareholders in connection with the approval of a merger agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby. Each of CBC and SCB shall coordinate with the other regarding the record date and meeting date for the CBC Meeting and the SCB Meeting, and each of CBC and SCB shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such meetings to occur as soon as reasonably practicable and on the same date. Such meetings may be held virtually, subject to applicable Law and the organizational documents of CBC and SCB, as applicable.
(b) Each of CBC and SCB and their respective Boards of Directors shall, unless a Recommendation Change has been made by such party and its Board of Directors in accordance with Section 7.01(c), use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from the shareholders of CBC and SCB, respectively, the CBC Shareholder Approval and the SCB Shareholder Approval, respectively, including by communicating to the respective shareholders of CBC and SCB its recommendation (and including such recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) that the shareholders of CBC approve the principal terms of this Agreement, in the case of CBC, and that the shareholders of SCB approve the principal terms of this Agreement and the SCB Bylaw Amendment, in the case of SCB (the “CBC Board Recommendation” and the “SCB Board Recommendation,” respectively). Except as provided in Section 7.01(c), each of CBC and SCB and their respective Boards of Directors shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to the other party the CBC Board Recommendation, in the case of CBC, or the SCB Board Recommendation, in the case of SCB, (ii) fail to make the CBC Board Recommendation, in the case of CBC, or the SCB Board Recommendation, in the case of SCB, in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, (iii) adopt, approve, recommend or endorse an Acquisition Proposal or publicly announce an intention to adopt, approve, recommend or endorse an Acquisition Proposal, (iv) fail to publicly and without qualification (A) recommend against any Acquisition Proposal, or (B) reaffirm the CBC Board Recommendation, in the case of CBC, or the SCB Board Recommendation, in the case of SCB, in each case, within ten (10) Business Days (or such fewer number of days as remains prior to the CBC Meeting or the SCB Meeting, as applicable) after an Acquisition Proposal is made public or any request by the other party to do so, or (v) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing, a “Recommendation Change”).
(c) Subject to Section 9.01 and Section 9.02, if the Board of Directors of CBC or SCB, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisors, determines in good faith that it would more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to make or continue to make the CBC Board Recommendation or the SCB Board Recommendation, as applicable, such Board of Directors may, in the case of CBC, prior to the receipt of the CBC Shareholder Approval, and in the case of SCB, prior to the receipt of the SCB Shareholder Approval, submit this Agreement to its shareholders without recommendation (although the resolutions approving this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded or amended), in which event such Board of Directors may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to its shareholders in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by Law; provided, that such Board of Directors may not take any actions under this sentence unless it (A) gives the other party at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to effect such Recommendation Change 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 in response to an Acquisition Proposal, the latest material terms and conditions of, and the identity of the third party making, any such Acquisition Proposal, or any amendment or modification thereof, or describe in reasonable detail such other event or circumstances), and (B) at the end of such notice period, takes into account any amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by the other party 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 more likely than not result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to make or continue to make the CBC Board Recommendation or SCB Board Recommendation, as the case may be. Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 7.01 and will require a new notice period as referred to in this Section 7.01. CBC or SCB shall adjourn or postpone the CBC Meeting or the SCB Meeting, as the case may be, if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled there are insufficient shares of CBC Common Stock or SCB 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 CBC or SCB, as applicable, has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the CBC Shareholder Approval or the SCB Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, (x) the CBC Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of CBC at the CBC Meeting and (y) the SCB Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of SCB at the SCB Meeting, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve either CBC or SCB of such obligation.
