ARTICLE III

MERGER CONSIDERATION

Section 3.1 Conversion of CFI Common Stock. Subject to the other provisions of this Article III, solely by virtue and as a result of the Merger, each share of CFI Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares (as defined below)) shall at the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder(s) thereof, be converted into and canceled in exchange for the right to receive 0.481 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable shares of Commerce Union Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).

Section 3.2 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Deposit with Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Closing, Commerce Union shall deliver or cause to be delivered to an exchange agent mutually agreed upon by Commerce Union and CFI, which the Parties agree may be Commerce Union’s customary stock transfer agent (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of holders of CFI Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares and holders of Dissenting Shares), (i) a certificate or certificates or, at Commerce Union’s election, evidence of shares in book-entry form representing the number of shares of Commerce Union Common Stock issuable or payable to holders of CFI Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares and holders of Dissenting Shares) in the form of Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article III and (ii) cash in an amount sufficient to make payment in respect of fractional share interests in accordance with Section 3.4. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any other rights of ownership with respect to the shares of Commerce Union Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, provided that the Exchange Agent shall receive and hold all dividends and other distributions payable or distributable with respect to such shares for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.

(b) Letter of Transmittal. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five Business Days after the Effective Time), Commerce Union shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or deliver to each holder of record of shares of CFI Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than holders of Excluded Shares and holders of Dissenting Shares) a letter of transmittal in customary form as reasonably agreed by Commerce Union and CFI and containing such provisions as Commerce Union shall reasonably require (including provisions confirming that delivery of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall be effected, and that risk of loss of and title to Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration issuable or payable in respect of the shares of CFI Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates or in respect of such Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, and any dividends or other distributions payable or distributable on or with respect thereto, in each case pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Payment of Merger Consideration. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent for exchange and cancellation, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or an “agent’s message,” in the case of Book-Entry Shares held in street name) and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, (i) the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Exchange Agent shall issue and deliver to such holder, (A) the Merger Consideration to which such holder shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, together with such cash, if any, payable to such holder in respect of a fractional share interest in accordance with Section 3.4, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of CFI Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or to such Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, and (B) a check representing

the amount of any dividends or other distributions payable or distributable to such holder in accordance with Section 3.2(d), and (ii) the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be canceled. In the event Merger Consideration or any other amounts issuable or payable under this Agreement to a holder of shares of CFI Common Stock is to be issued in the name of or paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name such shares are registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance or payment of such Merger Consideration or other amounts that the Certificate formerly representing such shares, or, in the case of non-certificated shares, the Book-Entry Shares, be presented to the Exchange Agent, together with evidence of or appropriate documents or instruments for transfer and evidence that any applicable stock transfer or other Taxes have been paid or are not applicable, all in such form as the Exchange Agent shall reasonably require.

(d) Closing of Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of CFI shall be closed and there shall thereafter be no further transfers of shares of CFI Stock on the books or records of CFI, and, if any shares of CFI Common Stock are thereafter presented to the Commerce Union Parties or the Exchange Agent for transfer, such shares shall be cancelled against delivery of the Merger Consideration issuable or payable in respect thereof as herein provided. Until duly surrendered to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall, at and after the Effective Time, evidence and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration issuable or payable in respect thereof (or the CFI Common Stock previously represented thereby), and any dividends or other distributions payable or distributable on or with respect thereto, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions payable or distributable on or with respect to shares of Commerce Union Common Stock that are issued or issuable in connection with the Merger in accordance with this Agreement will be remitted to any Person entitled to receive such shares of Commerce Union Common Stock until such Person surrenders his or her Certificate(s) previously representing the shares of CFI Common Stock converted into such Commerce Union Common Stock, or his or her Book-Entry Shares converted into such Commerce Union Common Stock, as applicable, at which time such dividends and other distributions shall be remitted to such Person, without interest. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any amounts issuable or payable to holders of CFI Common Stock under or in accordance with this Agreement.

(e) Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and the execution by such Person of an indemnity agreement and/or the posting by such Person of a bond in such form and amount as Commerce Union or the Exchange Agent may reasonably require as indemnity against any claim that may be made against them with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of the shares of CFI Common Stock previously represented thereby, and any dividends or other distributions payable or distributable on or with respect thereto, in each case pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) Unclaimed Merger Consideration. Any Merger Consideration, and any other amounts payable by Commerce Union to holders of shares of CFI Common Stock in accordance with this Agreement, in each case that remain(s) unclaimed by former shareholders of CFI for one year after the Effective Time (as well as any dividends or other distributions payable or distributable in respect thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to Commerce Union. Any former shareholder of CFI who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures provided for in this Agreement shall thereafter look only to Commerce Union for the Merger Consideration (and any other amounts) issuable or payable in respect of the shares of CFI Common Stock previously held by such shareholder and any dividends or other distributions payable or distributable on or with respect thereto, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon. If the Merger Consideration or any other amounts issuable or payable under this Agreement in respect of any shares of CFI Common Stock or any shares of Commerce

▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Stock issuable as Merger Consideration is not claimed prior to the date on which such Merger Consideration or other amounts would otherwise escheat to any Governmental Entity, such Merger Consideration or other amounts shall, to the extent permitted by abandoned property, escheat, and other applicable Laws, become the property of Commerce Union (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled to such property. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any Party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of CFI Common Stock for any Merger Consideration (or any other amounts) properly paid or delivered to a Governmental Entity pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Laws. Commerce Union and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books and records of CFI to establish the identity of those Persons entitled to receive the Merger Consideration (and any other amounts) specified in this Agreement, which books and records shall be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event of a dispute regarding the ownership of CFI Common Stock, Commerce Union and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deposit any Merger Consideration (or any other amounts) issuable or payable in respect thereof in escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

Section 3.3 Rights as CFI Shareholders. Holders of CFI Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at and after the Effective Time, cease to be shareholders of CFI and have no further rights as shareholders of CFI, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any other amounts issuable or payable in respect of such holders’ CFI Common Stock or shares of Commerce Union Common Stock issuable as Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article III.

Section 3.4 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no fraction of a share of Commerce Union Common Stock, and no certificate or scrip therefor, will be issued in connection with the Merger to any holder of shares of CFI Common Stock. Instead, Commerce Union shall pay to each holder of CFI Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Commerce Union Common Stock (after aggregating and taking into account all Certificates and/or Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) cash, without interest, in an amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying (a) the fractional share interest (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by (b) the volume weighted average closing price per share of Commerce Union Common Stock on Nasdaq (or such other securities market or stock exchange on which the Commerce Union Common Stock then principally trades) for the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Average Per Share Commerce Union Closing Price”).

Section 3.5 Dissenters’ Rights; Dissenting Shares.

(a) Holders of shares of CFI Common Stock shall have such rights to dissent from the Merger and obtain payment of the fair value of their shares as are afforded to such holders by Chapter 23 of the Corporation Act.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 3.5(c), each issued and outstanding share of CFI Common Stock the holder of which has perfected such holder’s right to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Chapter 23 of the Corporation Act and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into and canceled in exchange for, or represent a right to receive, the Merger Consideration hereunder, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are afforded to such holder by the Corporation Act. Commerce Union shall be entitled to retain any Merger Consideration not paid on account of Dissenting Shares, and the shareholders of CFI shall not be entitled to any portion of such retained Merger Consideration. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by Commerce Union within the time periods set forth in, and otherwise in accordance with, the Corporation Act.

(c) If any holder of shares of CFI Common Stock who asserts such holder’s right to dissent from the Merger pursuant to Chapter 23 of the Corporation Act shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to dissent (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, as of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, whichever occurs later, the shares of CFI Common Stock held by such holder shall be converted into and canceled in exchange for, on a share by share basis, the right to receive the Merger Consideration issuable or payable in respect thereof, any dividends or other distributions payable or distributable on or with respect thereto, in each case in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

Section 3.6 Excluded Shares. At the Effective Time, each Excluded Share shall, for no consideration, be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and, for the avoidance of doubt, no exchange or payment shall be made with respect thereto or in respect thereof.

Section 3.7 Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall at the Effective Time be converted into and become one share of common stock, no par value, of the Interim Surviving Company.

Section 3.8 Commerce Union Stock. The shares of Commerce Union Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall not be affected by the Merger, and, accordingly, each share of Commerce Union Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at and after the Effective Time, remain issued and outstanding.

Section 3.9 Adjustments Upon Change in Capitalization. If during the period from the date of this Agreement until immediately prior to the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Commerce Union Common Stock or CFI Common Stock are increased, decreased, or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of securities as a result of a reorganization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar change in capitalization, an equitable and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio and, therefore, the Merger Consideration issuable or payable pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the issuance of shares of Commerce Union Common Stock upon the exercise of Commerce Union Options nor the issuance of shares of CFI Common Stock upon the exercise of CFI Options shall cause or result in an adjustment of or to the Exchange Ratio or the Merger Consideration issuable or payable pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.10 CFI Equity Awards.

(a) To the extent permitted under the terms of the CFI Equity Plan pursuant to which a CFI Option has been awarded and related option grant agreements, each CFI Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be automatically cancelled, and the holder thereof shall have the right to receive a cash payment from Commerce Union in respect of such cancelled CFI Option in an amount, rounded to the nearest whole cent (the “Option Cash Out Amount”), equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Option Consideration Price (as defined below) over the per share exercise price of such CFI Option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of CFI Common Stock subject to such CFI Option to the extent not previously exercised. After the Effective Time, any such cancelled CFI Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, and shall instead only entitle such holder to the payment of the Option Cash Out Amount, if any, without interest. In the event the per share exercise price of a CFI Option is equal to or greater than the Option Consideration Price, such CFI Option shall be cancelled for no consideration and shall have no further force or effect. For

purposes of this Agreement, the term “Option Consideration Price” means the product of (x) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by (y) the Average Per Share Commerce Union Closing Price. At the Effective Time, each award of CFI Common Stock subject to vesting, repurchase, or other lapse restriction (a “CFI Restricted Share Award”) granted under the CFI Equity Plans, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and shall be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of CFI Common Stock underlying such CFI Restricted Share Award.

(b) With respect to any CFI Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is not canceled in accordance with Section 3.10(a), at the Effective Time, solely by virtue and as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, such CFI Option, whether vested or unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be assumed by Commerce Union, and each CFI Option so assumed shall at and after the Effective Time be and represent an option to purchase that number of shares of Commerce Union Common Stock equal to the number of shares of CFI Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such CFI Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest whole number), and the per share exercise price of the resulting option to purchase shares of Commerce Union Common Stock shall be equal to the per share exercise price of the CFI Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio (carried to two decimal places with the second decimal place rounded to the nearest whole number). Any CFI Option that immediately prior to the Effective Time is an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall, at the Effective Time upon assumption by Commerce Union as provided in this Section 3.10(b), maintain its qualified status as such in accordance and compliance with Sections 422 and 424 of the Code, and, prior to the Effective Time, each of CFI and Commerce Union shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all action necessary to provide for the assumption of any such CFI Options by Commerce Union in such manner.

Section 3.11 Withholding Rights. Commerce Union shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and shall be entitled to cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from any consideration issuable, payable, or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of CFI Common Stock or CFI Options such amounts as are required under or by the Code or any other applicable Law to be deducted or withheld. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted on a timely basis to the appropriate Governmental Entities, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

Section 4.1 Community First Disclosure Memorandum. Prior to or simultaneously with the Parties’ execution and delivery of this Agreement, CFI and Bank have delivered to the Commerce Union Parties a confidential memorandum (the “Community First Disclosure Memorandum”) setting forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision of this Agreement or as an exception to one or more representations or warranties of the Community First Parties contained in this Article IV or to one or more covenants of the Community First Parties contained in Article VI, making specific reference in such Community First Disclosure Memorandum to the Section(s) of this Agreement to which such items relate; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no such item is required to be set forth in the Community First Disclosure Memorandum 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 Community First Disclosure Memorandum as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by the

Community First Parties that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a CFI Material Adverse Effect and (iii) any disclosures made with respect to a section of this Article IV shall be deemed to qualify any other section of this Article IV (A) specifically referenced or cross-referenced and (B) to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross reference) from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure applies to such section).

Section 4.2 Representations and Warranties. Subject to and except as disclosed in the CFI Securities Filings (as defined below) filed prior to the date of this Agreement (but excluding any risk factor disclosures under the heading “Risk Factors,” any forward-looking statement disclosures or disclaimers, and any other disclosures that are cautionary, predictive, or forward-looking in nature), each of CFI and Bank hereby represents and warrants to the Commerce Union Parties as follows:

(a) Organization and Qualification. CFI is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Tennessee and is registered as a bank holding company under the BHCA. Bank is a banking corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Tennessee. Each of CFI and Bank has the power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its respective business as presently conducted, except to the extent that the failure to have such power or authority would not reasonably be expected to have a CFI Material Adverse Effect. Each of CFI and Bank is duly licensed and qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties or assets owned or leased by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such licensing and qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a CFI Material Adverse Effect. The copies of the charters, bylaws, and other organizational documents of CFI and Bank and their respective Subsidiaries previously provided or made available to the Commerce Union Parties are true, correct, and complete copies of such documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement. Neither CFI or Bank nor any Subsidiary of CFI or Bank is in material violation of its respective charter, bylaws, or other organizational documents. The minute books of CFI and Bank and their Subsidiaries previously provided or made available to the Commerce Union Parties constitute, in all material respects, a true, complete, and correct record of all meetings of and material corporate actions taken by their respective boards of directors (and each committee thereof), shareholders, and other governing bodies for the periods covered thereby.

There are no Contracts relating to the right of CFI or Bank to vote or dispose of any capital stock or other equity or ownership interest of any Subsidiary of CFI or Bank. The ownership interests of CFI and Bank in their respective Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable Laws, except where the failure to be in compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a CFI Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Subsidiaries of CFI and/or Bank is a corporation, limited liability company, or other entity duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization, or formation, has all requisite power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as presently conducted, and is duly licensed and qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties or assets owned or leased by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to have such power or authority or where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or

in good standing, as applicable, would not reasonably be expected to have a CFI Material Adverse Effect. The outstanding capital stock or other outstanding equity or ownership interests of each Subsidiary of CFI and/or Bank have been validly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. No shares of capital stock or other equity or ownership interests of any Subsidiary of CFI and/or Bank are or may be required to be issued by virtue of any options, warrants, or other rights; no securities exist that are convertible into or exchangeable for any shares of capital stock or other equity or ownership interests of any Subsidiary of CFI and/or Bank, or any other debt or equity security of any Subsidiary of CFI and/or Bank; and there are no Contracts for the issuance of any additional capital stock or other equity or ownership interests, or any other debt or equity securities, of any Subsidiary of CFI and/or Bank or any options, warrants, or other rights with respect to such securities.

No shares of CFI Stock are held in treasury by CFI or otherwise owned, directly or indirectly, by CFI, and no shares of Bank Stock are held in treasury by Bank or otherwise owned, directly or indirectly, by Bank. All of the issued and outstanding shares of CFI Stock and Bank Stock have been duly and validly authorized and issued in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws and are fully paid and non-assessable with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and none of the issued and outstanding shares of CFI Stock or Bank Stock have been issued in violation of the preemptive or other rights of any Person.

Each of CFI and Bank has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, and, subject to the consents, approvals, waivers, notices, filings, and registrations referred to in Section 4.2(f), to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Community First Parties, the performance by the Community First Parties of their obligations hereunder, and the consummation by the Community First Parties of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the boards of directors of CFI and Bank, and no other corporate actions or proceedings on the part of CFI or Bank are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by the Community First Parties and the consummation by the Community First Parties of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than the approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of CFI in accordance with the charter and bylaws of CFI and applicable Law and the approval of the Bank Merger Agreement by CFI as the sole shareholder of Bank in accordance with charter and bylaws of Bank and applicable Law.

Each Contract of the type described in this Section 4.2(p)(i), whether or not set forth in the Community First Disclosure Memorandum, is referred to herein as a “Community First Material Contract,” and neither CFI nor Bank, nor any of their Subsidiaries, knows of, or has received written notice of, any default or any violation of the above by any of the other parties thereto which would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a CFI Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) In each case, except as would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a CFI Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Community First Material Contract is valid and binding on CFI or Bank or one of their Subsidiaries, as applicable, and in full force and effect, (ii) CFI and Bank and their Subsidiaries have in all respects performed all obligations required to be performed by them to date under each Community First Material Contract, (iii) to the Knowledge of the Community First Parties, each third-party counterparty to each Community First Material Contract has in all respects performed all obligations required to be performed by it to date under such Community First Material Contract, and (iv) no event or condition exists which constitutes or, after notice or lapse of time or both, will constitute, a default on the part of CFI or Bank or any of their Subsidiaries under any such Community First Material Contract.

(i) Set forth on Schedule 4.2(q)(i) of the Community First Disclosure Memorandum is a true, correct, and complete list of all of the Intellectual Property owned by CFI or Bank or any of their Subsidiaries and registered or applied for before a Governmental Entity and used by CFI or Bank or any of their Subsidiaries in the conduct of their respective businesses (collectively, the “Community First Registered Intellectual Property”). All required filings and fees related to Community First Registered Intellectual Property have been timely filed with and paid to the relevant Governmental Entities and authorized registrars, and all Community First Registered Intellectual Property is in good standing, except where the failure to timely file and pay or to be in good standing has not and would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a CFI Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) Set forth on Schedule 4.2(q)(ii) of the Community First Disclosure Memorandum is a true, correct, and complete list of all Contracts pursuant to which CFI or Bank (i) obtain a license to Intellectual Property owned by a third party (excluding Contracts for commercially available or off-the shelf software or services) and material to the conduct of the business of CFI and Bank and their Subsidiaries as presently conducted; or (ii) grant a license or right to use Intellectual Property owned by CFI or Bank or one of their Subsidiaries (excluding non-exclusive licenses granted in the ordinary course of business). There is no breach or default or alleged breach or default, or to the Knowledge of the Community First Parties any state of facts or circumstances which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a breach or default, on the part of any party to any such Contract in the performance of any obligation to be performed, paid, or observed by any party under or pursuant to any such Contract, in each case which would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a CFI Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) CFI and Bank and their Subsidiaries own or possess all requisite rights to use all of the material Intellectual Property required or necessary for the conduct of the business of CFI and Bank and their Subsidiaries as presently conducted (the “Community First Intellectual Property”), to the Knowledge of the Community First Parties, without any conflict with the rights of others or any known use by others which conflicts with the rights of CFI or Bank or any of their Subsidiaries. Except pursuant to the Contracts set forth on Schedule 4.2(q)(ii), neither CFI nor Bank, nor any of their Subsidiaries, owes any royalties, honoraria, or fees to any Person by reason of the use by CFI or Bank or any of their Subsidiaries of any of the Community First Intellectual Property. Neither CFI nor Bank, nor any of their Subsidiaries, has received notice of, and to the Knowledge of the Community First Parties there is no basis for, any claimed conflict with respect to any of the Community First Intellectual Property or any claim against CFI or Bank or any of their Subsidiaries that their respective operations, activities, products, publications, goods, or services infringe upon any patent, trademark, trade name, copyright, or other intellectual property or proprietary right of a third party, or that CFI or Bank or any of their Subsidiaries is illegally or otherwise impermissibly using any patent, trademark, trade name, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property or proprietary right of others, nor has there been any written claim or assertion that any of the Community First Intellectual Property is invalid or defective in any way.

Since January 1, 2014, neither CFI nor Bank, nor any of their Subsidiaries, has experienced any material disruption to, or material interruption in, the conduct of its business attributable to a defect, bug,

breakdown, or other failure or deficiency in or of the performance of the Community First IT Systems to operate as necessary for the conduct of the business as currently conducted.

(t) Real and Personal Property.

(i) Set forth on Schedule 4.2(t)(i) of the Community First Disclosure Memorandum is a true, correct, and complete list (by street address) as of the date of this Agreement of all real property owned by CFI or Bank or any of their Subsidiaries, including without limitation property carried on the books of Bank as “other real estate owned” (the “Owned Real Property”), and all real property leased by CFI or Bank or any of their Subsidiaries (the “Leased Real Property,” and together with the Owned Real Property, collectively, the “Community First Properties”).

There are no unpaid bills or claims for work performed on or at the Community First Properties other than bills for work that has been performed but which are not yet due and payable. Each lease pursuant to which CFI or Bank or their Subsidiaries lease the Leased Real Property is valid, binding, enforceable (except as enforceability may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions), and in full force and effect, and neither CFI nor Bank nor any of their Subsidiaries, nor, to the Knowledge of the Community First Parties, any other party to any such lease, is in material breach or default under or in material violation of any provision of any such lease.

The Community First Business Properties are appropriately zoned for each of the purposes for which they are being used by the Community First Parties and their Subsidiaries, except where the failure to be so appropriately zoned would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a CFI Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Neither CFI nor Bank, nor any of their Subsidiaries, has experienced any material restriction in access to or from public roads or any material restriction in access to any utilities, including without limitation water, sewer, drainage, gas, electric, telephone, cable, and internet, used by CFI or Bank or any of their Subsidiaries in the operation of their business as presently conducted which material restriction remains in effect; there is no pending or, to the Knowledge of the Community First Parties, threatened governmental action that could prohibit or materially interfere with such access; and, to the Knowledge of the Community First Parties, no fact or condition exists which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, may result in the termination of or material reduction or impairment of such access.

(iv) No Liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has been, or is expected by the Commerce Union Parties or their Subsidiaries to be, incurred with respect to any Commerce Union Benefit Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA (a “Commerce Union Pension Plan”), or with respect to any “single-employer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a) of ERISA) currently or formerly maintained by Commerce Union or Reliant or any ERISA Affiliate. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Commerce Union Material Adverse Effect, no Commerce Union Pension Plan had an “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA), whether or not waived, as of the last day of the end of the most recent plan year ending prior to the date hereof; the fair market value of the assets of each Commerce Union Pension Plan exceeds the present value of the “benefit liabilities” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA) under such Commerce Union Pension Plan as of the end of the most recent plan year ending prior to the date hereof, calculated on the basis of the actuarial assumptions used in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Commerce Union Pension Plan as of the date hereof; and no notice of a “reportable event” (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) for which the reporting requirement has not been waived has been required to be filed for any Commerce Union Pension Plan within the 12-month period ending on the date of this Agreement.

(s) Fairness Opinion. Prior to the Parties’ execution of this Agreement, the board of directors of Commerce Union has received from ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. an opinion (which, if initially rendered verbally, has been or will be confirmed in a written opinion dated the same date) to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and qualifications, the Exchange Ratio is fair from a financial point of view to Commerce Union.

(v) Set forth on Schedule 5.2(u)(v) of the Commerce Union Disclosure Memorandum is a true, correct, and complete listing, as of July 31, 2017, by account of (A) all Loans of Reliant (1) that are contractually past due 90 days or more in the payment of principal and/or interest, (2) that are on non-accrual status, (3) that are classified as “special mention,” “substandard,” “doubtful,” “loss,” or words of similar import, or (4) where the interest rate terms have been reduced and/or the maturity dates have been extended subsequent to the origination of the Loans due to concerns regarding the borrowers’ ability to pay in accordance with the Loans’ original terms; and (B) all assets classified by Reliant as real estate acquired through foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure, including in-substance foreclosures, and all other assets currently held that were acquired through foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure, in each case including the book value thereof as of July 31, 2017.

(vii) The Commerce Union Parties are not, and have not been since January 1, 2014, subject to any material fine, suspension, or settlement or other administrative agreement or sanction by, or any reduction in any loan purchase commitment from, any Governmental Entity relating to the origination, sale, or servicing of mortgage or consumer Loans.

(v) Insurance. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Commerce Union Material Adverse Effect, (A) the Commerce Union Parties and their Subsidiaries are insured with reputable insurers against such risks and in such amounts as the management of Commerce Union reasonably has determined to be prudent and consistent with industry practices, (B) the policies of insurance currently held or maintained by or providing coverage for the Commerce Union Parties or any of their Subsidiaries are in full force and effect, neither the Commerce Union Parties nor any of their Subsidiaries is in default thereunder, and no event has occurred which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or permit a termination, modification, or acceleration thereunder, and (C) all premiums due and payable in respect of such policies of insurance have been timely and fully paid (to the extent due and payable).

(w) Investment Securities. The Commerce Union Parties have good title to all securities and commodities owned by them in all material respects (except those sold under repurchase agreements), free and clear of any Liens, except to the extent such securities or commodities are pledged in the ordinary course of business to secure obligations of the Commerce Union Parties and their Subsidiaries. Such securities and commodities are valued on the books of the Commerce Union Parties in accordance with GAAP in all material respects. The Commerce Union Parties employ investment, securities, commodities, risk management, and other similar policies, practices, and procedures that are prudent and reasonable in the context of their respective businesses.

(y) CRA, Anti-Money Laundering, OFAC, and Customer Information Security. Reliant received a rating of “Satisfactory” or better during its most recent examination or interim review with respect to the CRA. The Commerce Union Parties do not have Knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to cause Reliant (i) to be deemed not to be in satisfactory compliance in any material respect with the CRA and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or to be assigned a rating for CRA purposes by federal banking regulators of lower than “Satisfactory”; (ii) to be deemed to be operating in violation, in any material respect, of the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, as amended, the USA PATRIOT Act, any order issued with respect to anti-money laundering by the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other applicable anti-money laundering Law; or (iii) to be deemed not to be in satisfactory compliance in any material respect with applicable privacy of customer or consumer information requirements contained in any federal or state privacy Laws, including without limitation in Title V of the ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 1999, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as well as the provisions of the information security program adopted by Reliant. To the Knowledge of the Commerce Union Parties, no non-public

customer information has been disclosed to or accessed by an unauthorized third party in a manner which would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause Reliant to undertake any significant remedial action. The board of directors of Reliant has adopted, and Reliant has implemented, an anti-money laundering program that contains customer identification verification procedures that comply with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, and such anti-money laundering program meets the requirements of Section 352 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the regulations thereunder, and Reliant has complied in all material respects with any requirements to file reports and other necessary documents as required by the USA PATRIOT Act and the regulations thereunder.

(z) Internal Controls.

To the Knowledge of the Commerce Union Parties, as of the date hereof there is no reason to believe that Commerce Union’s outside auditors and its principal executive officer and principal 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, without qualification, at any time prior to the Closing Date.

(aa) Regulatory Capital. Commerce Union and Reliant are “well-capitalized” as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. 225.2 and 12 C.F.R. 325.103, respectively.

Except for the representations and warranties made by the Commerce Union Parties in this Article V (including the related portions of the Commerce Union Disclosure Memorandum), neither Commerce Union, Merger Sub, nor Reliant, nor any other Person, makes or has made any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Commerce Union, Merger Sub, or Reliant or their respective Subsidiaries or the respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, or conditions (financial or otherwise) of the Commerce Union Parties and their Subsidiaries, and the Commerce Union Parties hereby disclaim any such other representations or warranties. In particular, without limiting the foregoing disclaimer, neither Commerce Union, Merger Sub, nor Reliant, nor any other Person, makes or has made any representation or warranty to the Community First Parties or any of their Affiliates or representatives with respect to (i) any financial projection, forecast, estimate, budget, or prospective information relating to the Commerce Union Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or the respective businesses of the Commerce Union Parties and their Subsidiaries or (ii) except for the representations and warranties made by the Commerce Union Parties in this Article V, any oral or written information presented, delivered, or made available to the Community First Parties or any of their Affiliates or representatives in the course of their due diligence investigation of the Commerce Union Parties or their negotiation of this Agreement or otherwise in the course of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) In addition to the obligations of the Community First Parties set forth above, the Community First Parties shall promptly (within not more than 24 hours) advise the Commerce Union Parties orally and in writing of their receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry which would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and shall keep the Commerce Union Parties informed, on a prompt basis, of any material changes in the status thereof, including the material terms and conditions thereof and any changes thereto, and shall provide to the Commerce Union Parties any material written materials received by the Community First Parties or any of their Subsidiaries in connection therewith.

The failure of a Party to comply with this Section 7.2 shall not itself constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 to be satisfied unless the underlying fact, event, occurrence, circumstance, or condition would independently result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 to be satisfied.

Section 7.3 Access and Information.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, for the purpose of verifying the representations and warranties of the Community First Parties and compliance by the Community First Parties with their covenants and agreements set forth herein, and preparing for the Mergers and the other matters contemplated by this Agreement (including without limitation for purposes of integration planning), the Community First Parties shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, afford to the Commerce Union Parties and their representatives (including without limitation their directors, officers, and employees and financial advisors, legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals retained by the Commerce Union Parties) reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records, Contracts, properties, assets, personnel, and information technology systems of the Community First Parties and their Subsidiaries, as well as such other information relating to the Community First Parties or their Subsidiaries as the Commerce Union Parties may reasonably request.

Neither the Community First Parties or the Commerce Union Parties nor their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information pursuant to this Section 7.3 where such access or disclosure would violate or prejudice the rights of the Community First Parties’ or the Commerce Union Parties’, as the case may be, customers, jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Party 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, fiduciary duty, or binding Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The Parties agree to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

Section 7.7 CFI Shareholders Meeting.

(a) CFI and its board of directors shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and CFI’s charter and bylaws, all action necessary to call, give notice of, convene, and hold, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, a meeting of CFI’s shareholders (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “CFI Meeting”) for the purpose of CFI’s shareholders considering and voting on approval of this Agreement and any other matters required to be approved by CFI’s shareholders in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, if mutually agreed upon by the Parties, any other matters of the type customarily brought before a meeting of shareholders to approve an agreement such as this Agreement. Except with the prior approval of the Commerce Union Parties (which will not be unreasonably withheld), no other matters shall be submitted for consideration by or the approval of CFI’s shareholders at the CFI Meeting. Subject to Section 7.7(b), (i) CFI and its board of directors shall at all times prior to and during the CFI Meeting recommend to CFI’s shareholders the approval of this

Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall take all reasonable and lawful action to solicit and obtain such approval and (ii) the CFI board of directors shall not withdraw, modify, or qualify in any manner adverse to the Commerce Union Parties its recommendation that CFI’s shareholders approve this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, or take any other action or make any other public statement inconsistent with such recommendation (the actions prohibited by this clause (ii) being referred to as a “CFI Change of Recommendation”). Notwithstanding any CFI Change of Recommendation, unless this Agreement has been terminated, this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of CFI at the CFI Meeting for the purpose of CFI’s shareholders considering and voting on approval of this Agreement and any other matters required to be approved by CFI’s shareholders in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Additionally, unless this Agreement has been terminated, neither CFI nor Bank shall submit to or for a vote of its shareholder(s) any Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CFI board of directors may make a CFI Change of Recommendation if, but only if:

(i) The CFI board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with and receiving and considering the advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisors) that its failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(ii) In the event the CFI Change of Recommendation stems from or is a result of, or relates in any manner to, an Acquisition Proposal, (A) the Community First Parties have complied in all material respects with Section 7.1; (B) the CFI board of directors has determined in good faith, after giving effect to all of the adjustments which may be offered by the Commerce Union Parties pursuant to clause (D) below, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, (C) CFI notifies the Commerce Union Parties at least five Business Days in advance of its intention to effect a CFI Change of Recommendation in response to such Superior Proposal, and furnishes to the Commerce Union Parties the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal, a copy of the proposed transaction agreements and all other documents relating to such Superior Proposal, and a reasonable description of the event or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action, and (D) prior to effecting the CFI Change of Recommendation, the Community First Parties shall, and shall cause their financial, legal, and other advisors to, for a period of five Business Days following CFI’s delivery of the notice referred to in clause (C) above, negotiate in good faith with the Commerce Union Parties (to the extent the Commerce Union Parties desire to so negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal.

(c) CFI shall adjourn or postpone the CFI Meeting if (i) as of the date of the CFI Meeting there are insufficient shares of CFI Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute the quorum necessary to conduct the business of the CFI Meeting or (ii) as of the date of the CFI Meeting CFI has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary for the approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of CFI in accordance with CFI’s charter and bylaws and applicable Law; provided that CFI shall not be required to adjourn or postpone the CFI Meeting more than two times.

Section 7.8 Commerce Union Shareholders Meeting.

(a) Commerce Union and its board of directors shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and Commerce Union’s charter and bylaws, all action necessary to call, give notice of, convene, and hold, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, a meeting of Commerce Union’s shareholders (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Commerce Union Meeting”) for the purpose of

Commerce Union’s shareholders considering and voting on approval of the issuance by Commerce Union of the shares of Commerce Union Common Stock constituting the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement (the “Stock Issuance Proposal”) and any other matters required to be approved by Commerce Union’s shareholders in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, if mutually agreed upon by the Parties, any other matters of the type customarily brought before a meeting of shareholders to approve matters such as the Stock Issuance Proposal. Subject to Section 7.8(b), (i) Commerce Union and its board of directors shall at all times prior to and during the Commerce Union Meeting recommend to Commerce Union’s shareholders the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal and shall take all reasonable and lawful action to solicit and obtain such approval and (ii) the Commerce Union board of directors shall not withdraw, modify, or qualify in any manner adverse to the Community First Parties its recommendation that Commerce Union’s shareholders approve the Stock Issuance Proposal, or take any other action or make any other public statement inconsistent with such recommendation (the actions prohibited by this clause (ii) being referred to as a “Commerce Union Change of Recommendation”).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commerce Union board of directors may make a Commerce Union Change of Recommendation if, but only if, the Commerce Union board of directors determines in good faith (after consultation with and receiving and considering the advice of outside legal counsel) that its failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that the board of directors of Commerce Union shall not make a Commerce Union Change of Recommendation under this Section 7.8(b) unless (i) Commerce Union gives CFI at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of the board of directors’ intention to take such action and a reasonable description of the events or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action and (ii) at the end of such notice period, the board of directors of Commerce Union takes into account any reasonable amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by CFI and, after receiving the advice of its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, determines in good faith that it would nevertheless be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend that Commerce Union’s shareholders approve the Stock Issuance Proposal.

(c) Commerce Union shall adjourn or postpone the Commerce Union Meeting if (i) as of the date of the Commerce Union Meeting there are insufficient shares of Commerce Union Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Commerce Union Meeting, or (ii) as of the date of the Commerce Union Meeting, Commerce Union has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Commerce Union Common Stock necessary for the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal; provided, that Commerce Union shall not be required to adjourn or postpone the Commerce Union Meeting more than one (1) time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless this Agreement has been terminated, the Commerce Union Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of Commerce Union at the Commerce Union Meeting for the purpose of Commerce Union’s shareholders considering and voting on the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal and any other matters required to be approved by Commerce Union’s shareholders in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.9 Timing of Shareholders’ Meetings. Commerce Union and CFI shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to hold the Commerce Union Meeting and the CFI Meeting on the same date.

Section 7.10 Employee and Benefit Matters.

(a) Subject to applicable Law and the terms of the Commerce Union Parties’ employee benefit plans, Commerce Union or Reliant will, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, provide employees of Bank who become employees of Commerce Union or Reliant at or immediately following the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) with benefits that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than that provided to similarly situated employees of the Commerce Union Parties as of the Closing Date. With respect to any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) maintained by Commerce Union or Reliant, excluding both any retiree health care plans or programs maintained by Commerce Union or Reliant and any equity compensation or deferred compensation plans or arrangements maintained by Commerce Union or Reliant (collectively, “Employee Plans”), in which any Continuing Employees will participate effective as of or after the Effective Time, Commerce Union or Reliant, as appropriate, will recognize all years of service of Continuing Employees with the Community First Parties (and any predecessor entities to, or entities which previously have merged or consolidated with or into, any of the Community First Parties) for vesting and eligibility purposes (but not for benefit accrual purposes or purposes of early retirement subsidies under any Employee Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan) in any Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate at or after the Effective Time; provided that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (i) such recognition of service would result in a duplication of benefits or (ii) such service was not recognized under a corresponding Community First Benefit Plan. With respect to Employee Plans providing health care, dental, or vision coverage, the Commerce Union Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any pre-existing condition, eligibility waiting period, or other limitations or exclusions otherwise applicable under such plans to new employees not to apply to the Continuing Employees or their eligible spouses and eligible dependents who were covered under a similar Community First Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Further, if Continuing Employees experience a transition in health care, dental, or vision coverage during the middle of a plan year, the Commerce Union Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any successor Employee Plan providing health care, dental, or vision coverage for Continuing Employees to give credit towards satisfaction of any annual deductible limitation and out-of-pocket maximum applied under such successor plan for any deductible, co-payment, or other cost-sharing amounts previously paid by Continuing Employees in respect of their participation in the corresponding Community First Benefit Plan during the plan year of the successor Employee Plan prior to the transition effective date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of any pertinent plan documents, the Commerce Union Parties may after the Effective Time maintain multiple benefit plans providing health care, dental, or vision coverage and/or multiple retirement savings plans.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, at the request of the Commerce Union Parties, the Community First Parties shall take, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to take, prior to the Effective Time, all actions reasonably requested by the Commerce Union Parties that are necessary or appropriate to (i) cause one or more of the Community First Benefits Plans (including without limitation the Community First Bank & Trust 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, but excluding the CFI SERP and the related participation agreements thereunder) to terminate or be frozen as of or immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) cause benefit accruals and entitlements under any Community First Benefit Plan to cease as of or immediately prior to the Effective Time, (iii) cause the continuation at and after the Effective Time of any Contract or insurance policy relating to any Community First Benefit Plan for such period as may be requested by the Commerce Union Parties, or (iv) facilitate the merger of any Community First Benefit Plan into any employee benefit plan maintained by the Commerce Union Parties or their Subsidiaries. All resolutions, notices, or other documents adopted, issued, or executed in connection with the implementation of this Section 7.10(b) shall be subject to the Commerce Union Parties’ prior review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting the foregoing, CFI shall take all such action as is necessary to suspend the CFI ESPP effective as of the date of this Agreement and to terminate the CFI ESPP effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) The Parties shall establish a cash-based retention program in the aggregate amount, and subject to such terms, conditions, and restrictions, set forth on Schedule 7.10(c) of the Commerce Union Disclosure Memorandum, to promote employee retention and to incentivize employee efforts to consummate the Mergers (the “Retention Program”). Subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions set forth on Schedule 7.10(c) of the Commerce Union Disclosure Memorandum, amounts available under the Retention Program shall be allocated among the employees of Bank and its Subsidiaries identified, and in the amounts and on the other terms determined, by mutual reasonable agreement of the Chief Executive Officers of Reliant and Bank (or their designees).

(d) The Commerce Union Parties will provide to (i) employees of Bank immediately prior to the Effective Time who are not offered continued employment with Commerce Union or Reliant and (ii) Continuing Employees whose employment is involuntarily terminated by the Commerce Union Parties without cause during the six-month period immediately following the Effective Time (collectively, “Severed Employees”), and who are not otherwise entitled to contractual or other severance or change in control benefits, severance benefits in the amounts set forth on Schedule 7.10(c) of the Commerce Union Disclosure Memorandum taking into account the number of years of service of the Severed Employees with the Community First Parties prior to the Effective Time and the Commerce Union Parties thereafter; provided that it shall be a condition to payment of any such severance benefits that the Severed Employee executes a release of claims, which release shall be in a form that complies with Section 409A of the Code and is reasonably acceptable to the Commerce Union Parties. Any such payments of severance benefits (including the timing of the same) shall be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Section 7.10(c), “cause” shall have the same meaning as provided in any written employment agreement between any Severed Employee and Commerce Union and/or Reliant on the date such Severed Employee’s employment is terminated, or if no such definition or employment agreement exists, “cause” shall mean conduct amounting to (i) fraud or dishonesty against or to the Commerce Union Parties or their Subsidiaries, (ii) the Severed Employee’s willful misconduct, repeated refusal to follow the reasonable directions of his or her superiors, or knowing violation of Law in the course or scope of performance of services to or for the Commerce Union Parties or their Subsidiaries; (iii) repeated absences from work without a reasonable excuse; (iv) repeated intoxication with alcohol or drugs while on the premises of the Commerce Union Parties or their Subsidiaries during regular business hours; (v) a conviction or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or a crime involving dishonesty; or (vi) a breach or violation of the terms of any agreement to which the Severed Employee and the Commerce Union Parties or their Subsidiaries are parties.

(e) From and after the Effective Time, Commerce Union and/or Reliant, as applicable, shall assume and honor in accordance with their terms all written employment, severance, and change in control agreements between the Community First Parties or their Subsidiaries and any of their respective employees which are not terminated prior to or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Prior to the Effective Time, the Community First Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be canceled those CFI Options set forth on Schedule 7.10(f) of the Community First Disclosure Memorandum on such terms as set forth on Schedule 7.10(f) of the Community First Disclosure Memorandum; provided, however, that cancellation of such CFI Options shall not be a condition to Commerce Union’s or Reliant’s obligations to close the Mergers.

(g) This Section 7.10 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties, and nothing in this Section 7.10, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 7.10. Nothing contained in this Section 7.10, express or implied, (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement or (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of the Surviving Corporation,

Commerce Union, or Reliant, or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, to amend, modify, or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored, or maintained by any of them. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 7.10 shall not create any right in any employee of CFI or Bank or any of their Subsidiaries, or any other Person, to continued employment with the Surviving Corporation, Commerce Union, or Reliant, or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates (and shall not limit the right of the Surviving Corporation, Commerce Union, or Reliant, or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, to terminate the employment of any employee), or any compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

Section 7.11 Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six years immediately following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each of the current and former directors, officers and employees of CFI and Bank, determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, and liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at, or after the Effective Time, and based on or pertaining to the fact that he or she was a director or officer of CFI or Bank or was serving at the request of CFI or Bank as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee, or partner of another corporation, partnership, trust, joint venture, employee benefit plan, or other entity, to the fullest extent such Indemnified Party would have been entitled to be so indemnified, defended, and held harmless, subject to applicable Law, under the charters and bylaws of CFI and Bank as in effect as of the date of this Agreement (including the provisions thereof, if any, relating to the advancement of expenses).

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.11, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation, shall promptly notify the Surviving Corporation of the same; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Surviving Corporation shall not relieve the Surviving Corporation of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party if such failure does not actually and materially prejudice the Surviving Corporation. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding, or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that, (A) if the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense or (B) if counsel for the Indemnified Party advises the Surviving Corporation that there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Surviving Corporation or that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Party that make joint representation inappropriate, the Indemnified Party may retain its own legal counsel and the Surviving Corporation shall pay, as statements therefor are received, the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Party (which may not exceed one firm in any jurisdiction unless there are multiple Indemnified Parties who have conflicts of interest), (ii) the Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense thereof, (iii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent, which consent may be withheld or granted by the Surviving Corporation in its sole discretion, and (iv) the Surviving Corporation shall have no obligation hereunder in the event a federal or state banking agency or authority or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) Subject to the second sentence of this Section 7.11(c), for a period of six years immediately following the Effective Time, Commerce Union shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ and, if applicable, fiduciary liability insurance maintained by CFI (provided that Commerce Union may substitute therefor policies with a comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insureds) with respect to claims against those individuals who are covered by CFI’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ and, if applicable, fiduciary liability insurance arising from facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that Commerce Union shall not be obligated to expend for such insurance, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of 110% of the most recent annual premium paid by the Community First Parties for their existing policies of directors’ and officers’ and, if applicable, fiduciary liability insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and, if such premiums for such insurance would exceed the Premium Cap, then Commerce Union shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which provide the maximum coverage available for an amount equal to the Premium Cap. In lieu of the foregoing, CFI, in consultation with Commerce Union, may (and, at the request of Commerce Union, CFI shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the Effective Time, at Commerce Union’s expense, a six-year “tail” policy under CFI’s existing directors’ and officers’ and, if applicable, fiduciary 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 250% of the most recent annual premium paid by the Community First Parties for their existing policies of directors’ and officers’ and, if applicable, fiduciary liability insurance (or such other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties).

(d) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, or shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any other Person, then, and in each such case, the Surviving Corporation or its successors or assigns, as applicable, shall make proper provision so that the successors or assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the obligations of the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 7.11.

(e) Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Section 7.11 are subject to and conditioned upon their compliance with Section 18(k) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. § 1828(k)) and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the FDIC (12 C.F.R. Part 359).

Each Party, to the extent permitted by Law, shall deliver to the other Parties copies of all material filings, correspondence, orders, and documents with, to, or from Governmental Entities, and shall promptly relay to the other Parties the substance of any material oral communications with, to, or from Governmental Entities, in each case pertaining or relating to the Registration Statement or any documents or materials related thereto.

(b) The Parties shall cooperate in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus for the purpose of submitting this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to the shareholders of CFI for approval and submitting the Stock Issuance Proposal to the shareholders of Commerce Union for approval. Each Party will as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement furnish all data and information relating to it and its Subsidiaries, and its and its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers, and shareholders, as the other Parties may reasonably request for the purpose of including such data and information in the Registration Statement and/or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Each Party covenants and agrees that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by such Party for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto will, on the date the same is first mailed to shareholders of the Parties or at the time of the Commerce Union Meeting or the CFI Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) any other document filed with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will, at the time such document is filed, fail to comply as to form, in all material respects, with the provisions of applicable Law.

Each Party covenants and agrees that, in the event such Party becomes aware of any information furnished by it that would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, or any other document filed with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, such Party will promptly inform the other Parties thereof in writing and take all necessary steps to correct the Registration Statement or Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, or other document, as applicable.

(f) By either the Commerce Union Parties or the Community First Parties, in the event the Merger is not consummated by August 31, 2018, unless (i) in the event of termination by the Commerce Union Parties, the failure to consummate the Merger by such date shall be due to the failure of Commerce Union, Merger Sub, or Reliant to perform or observe its obligations and covenants set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) in the event of termination by the Community First Parties, the failure to consummate the Merger by such date shall be due to the failure of CFI or Bank to perform or observe its obligations and covenants set forth in this Agreement.

(h) By the Commerce Union Parties, in the event a tender offer or exchange offer for 20% or more of any class or series of outstanding shares of CFI Stock is commenced (other than by the Commerce Union Parties) and the CFI board of directors recommends that the shareholders of CFI tender their shares in such tender offer or exchange offer or otherwise fails to recommend that such shareholders reject such tender offer or exchange offer within the ten day business day period specified in Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act.

(i) By the Community First Parties, at any time prior to the approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of CFI in accordance with CFI’s charter and bylaws and applicable Law, for the purpose of entering into an agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, provided that there has been no material breach by CFI or Bank of Section 7.1 or Section 7.7.

(j) By the Community First Parties, in the event that, prior to the approval of the Stock Issuance Proposal by the shareholders of Commerce Union in accordance with the charter and bylaws of Commerce Union and applicable Law, the Commerce Union board of directors (i) submits the Stock Issuance Proposal to the shareholders of Commerce Union without a recommendation for approval or makes a Commerce Union Change of Recommendation or (ii) materially breaches Section 7.8.

For purposes of this Section 9.1(k), the term “Average Closing Price” means the average closing price per share of Commerce Union Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq (or such other exchange or market as such shares shall then trade) for the 15 consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the Determination Date; the term “Determination Date” means that certain date which is the fifth Business Day prior to the Closing Date; the term “Index Value,” on a given date, means the closing index value for the SNL U.S. Bank Index as reported by Bloomberg, L.P.; and the term “Starting Date” means the date of this Agreement, or if the date of this Agreement is not a date on which the Index Value is available (an “Index Availability Date”) the Index Availability Date that is closest to, but prior to, the date of this Agreement.

In the event a Party fails to timely make payment of any amounts due and payable by such Party under this Section 9.3, the Party failing to make such payment shall pay or reimburse the Party or Parties entitled to receive such payment all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) incurred by such Party or Parties in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit, taken to collect payment of such amounts, together with interest on the amount of any such amounts unpaid at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal, calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid until the date of actual payment. The Termination Fees and other amounts payable by the Parties pursuant to this Section 9.3 constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty and, except in the case of fraud or willful or intentional breach of this Agreement, shall be the sole monetary remedy of the Parties in the event this Agreement is terminated under the circumstances described in Sections 9.3(a)-(d).
