6.05 Press Releases. Each Seller will consult with Purchaser before issuing any press release, written employee communication or other written shareholder communication with respect to this Agreement and will not issue any such communication or make any such public statement without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Each Seller will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any of the foregoing actions relating to an Acquisition Proposal and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Shareholder will within one (1) Business Day advise Purchaser following receipt of any Acquisition Proposal and the substance thereof (including the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal and, if applicable, copies of any related written requests, expressions of interest, proposals or offers, including proposed letters of intent, agreements or other documents), and will keep Purchaser apprised of any related developments on a current basis.

6.08 Access; Information.

(a) Each Seller agrees that upon reasonable notice and subject to Applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, it will afford Purchaser, and Purchaser’s Representatives, such access during normal business hours throughout the period before the Closing to the books, records (including Tax Returns and work papers of independent auditors), properties, personnel and to such other information as Purchaser may reasonably request and, during such period, it will furnish promptly to Purchaser (i) a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed by it pursuant to the requirements of Applicable Law respecting banking or securities, and (ii) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of it as Purchaser may reasonably request. Neither Purchaser nor any Seller will be required to afford access or disclose information that would jeopardize attorney-client privilege. To the extent possible, the parties will make appropriate substitute arrangements in circumstances where the previous sentence applies.

(b) No investigation by Purchaser of the business and affairs of any Seller, pursuant to this Section 6.08 or otherwise, will affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Each party shall hold, and shall cause its respective Affiliates and Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, except to the extent necessary to discharge obligations pursuant to Section 6.04 or unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, based on the advice of its counsel, by other requirements of Applicable Law or the applicable Governmental Entity, all non-public records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information, including Trade Secrets (each, whether oral or written and

collectively, “Confidential Information”), concerning Purchaser, in the case of the Sellers, and concerning the Sellers, in the case of Purchaser, furnished to it by or on behalf of Purchaser, in the case of the Sellers, or the Sellers, in the case of Purchaser, or, in each case, any Affiliate or Representative thereof or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and any related integration or transition planning, it being understood that each party and its respective Affiliates and Representatives will use reasonable best efforts to preserve the confidential treatment of such Confidential Information (except to the extent that such Confidential Information can be shown to have been (i) previously known by such party on a non-confidential basis, (ii) independently developed by a party or its Representatives without use of Confidential Information, (iii) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (iv) later lawfully acquired from other sources, which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a known contractual, legal, agency or fiduciary obligation, by the party to which it was furnished), and shall not release or disclose such Confidential Information to any other person, except its Representatives who (A) in its judgment need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating, negotiating, or consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) are informed by it of the confidential nature of such information, and (C) agree or are required by internal policies or fiduciary or other legal obligations to keep such information confidential.

(d) At any time upon Purchaser’s written request, but in any event after the Closing, each Seller shall destroy or cause to be destroyed, all Confidential Information concerning Purchaser (and, following the Closing, all Confidential Information concerning the Bank) in the possession of such Seller or any of its Affiliates and Representatives, and, if requested by Purchaser, Shareholder will deliver a certificate certifying compliance with this provision on behalf of each of the Sellers. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each party will notify the other party promptly upon becoming aware that any of the Confidential Information has been disclosed to or obtained by a third party (other than as permitted by this Section 6.08). If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, each party agrees to promptly destroy all Confidential Information in its and its Affiliates’ possession and, if requested by another party, will deliver a certificate of a senior officer certifying compliance with this provision.

(e) Subject to its confidentiality obligations under this Section 6.08, each party and each of its respective Representatives (i) may retain Confidential Information of the other parties to the extent consistent with its compliance or record-retention policies or procedures or any legal requirement or standard and (ii) is not obligated to destroy any Confidential Information of the other parties that may be contained in its electronic back-up systems established for archival or disaster-recovery purposes.

At the request of Purchaser, prior to the Closing, the Bank shall sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Designated Securities such that no Designated Securities shall be held by the Bank as of the Closing; provided, however, that the Bank shall not be obligated to take the actions required by this Section 6.09, (i) unless and until the Bank shall be satisfied that the conditions to the obligation of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby will be satisfied or waived on or before the Closing Date, and (ii) in no event until two (2) days prior to the Closing Date.

6.10 Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Shareholder and/or the Bank, as appropriate, shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions reasonably determined by Purchaser to be necessary or appropriate to (i) terminate, effective immediately prior to the Closing, the Bank’s participation in and liability for benefits under such plans which will not be retained by Purchaser, (ii) amend any Bank Plans intended to be retained by Purchaser, (iii) make, or cause to be made, all contributions to Sellers’ 401(k) plan for all or any portion of the plan year in which the Bank ceases participation in such 401(k) plan, including matching contributions and any employer non-elective contribution for the Continuing Employees, waiver, or cause to be waived, any hours requirement and any requirement that a participant be employed as of the last day of the plan year shall be waived for all Continuing Employees, and ensure that all Continuing Employees shall be one hundred percent (100%) vested in Sellers’ 401(k) plan, or (iv) provide substantiation of the foregoing or that other actions have been completed that are required to maintain compliance with Applicable Law, including ERISA and the Code.

(b) The Bank agrees to provide group medical coverage to their employees until the Closing in a manner reasonably expected to avoid triggering a Tax or penalty under Section 4980H of the Code.

(c) Purchaser agrees that it will, from and after the Closing, honor all employment Contracts entered into by the Bank prior to the date hereof and described in Section 6.11(c) of the Sellers Disclosure Letter, provided, that, such Contracts are not subject to any Taxes under Sections 280G or 409A of the Code. Where applicable and except to the extent that it would result in duplication of benefits, each Continuing Employee will receive full credit for service with the Bank for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting under each employee benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement to be provided by Purchaser to such Continuing Employees to the same extent such service was recognized under the applicable benefit plan immediately preceding the Closing. If, after the Closing, any Continuing Employee is terminated from employment without cause prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide severance benefits consisting of 1 weeks of pay for each Year of Service with the Bank or its Subsidiaries, with a minimum of 2.0 weeks salary and a maximum of twenty (20) weeks’ salary. “Year of Service” as used herein means each full twelve-month period for which such employee was an actual employee of the Bank and shall not include any such time period where such employee was previously employed by Purchaser, or any other entity other than the Bank. Such severance shall be subject to and conditioned on such Continuing Employee’s execution, delivery and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of Purchaser and the Affiliates of Purchaser.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall create any right of an employee of the Bank who remains in the employment of Purchaser, the Bank or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates following the Closing (a “Continuing Employee”) to employment or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever, with Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or create any third-party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee, officer, director or independent contractor of Purchaser, the Bank or their

respective Subsidiaries in respect of employment or any other matter. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to be, or shall be construed as, an amendment to any employee benefit plan, program, arrangement, policy or agreement. Section 6.10(d) of the Sellers Disclosure Letter lists all Continuing Employees who are disabled as of Closing under the Bank Plan that provides coverage for such disability, and such Bank Plan will continue to cover all such Continuing Employees until the date the Continuing Employee is no longer disabled, or the maximum disability period under such Bank Plan ends.

(e) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law and the terms of the applicable plan or arrangement, Purchaser shall amend any defined contribution plan sponsored by Purchaser, and Shareholder shall amend any defined contribution plan sponsored by Shareholder, as necessary, so that any Continuing Employee with an outstanding participant loan under the defined contribution plan sponsored by the Bank or an ERISA Affiliate shall have the opportunity to elect an in-kind rollover of the participant loan to Purchaser’s plan, provided that such loan is determined to be in compliance with ERISA and the Code.

(f) Purchaser will be responsible for providing continuation coverage required under COBRA to all of the employees and former employees of the Bank, including any beneficiaries who are or become “M&A Qualified Beneficiaries” (as defined in Treasury Regulations §54.4980B-9) as a result of the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) Effective on or prior to the Closing, Sellers shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to fully liquidate and distribute to participants in the Bank’s Year-End Profit-Sharing Bonus Plan (“Profit-Sharing Bonus Plan”), Deferred Cash Incentive Plan (“Cash Incentive Plan”), and any other incentive compensation or bonus plan or arrangement listed on Section 5.02(x)(1) of the Bank’s Disclosure Letter (the “Other Incentive Plans”), all benefits accrued under the Profit-Sharing Bonus Plan, the Cash Incentive Plan, and the Other Incentive Plans so that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Bank) shall assume any Liabilities arising under or attributable to the Profit-Sharing Bonus Plan, the Cash Incentive Plan, or the other Incentive Plans. Prior to the Closing, Shareholder will deliver Schedule 6.10(g) listing the amounts to be distributed under each such plan pursuant to this Section 6.10(g).

(h) Sellers will provide reasonable cooperation with Purchaser in making any written or oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of the Bank pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.11 Title Surveys, Environmental Assessments, and Appraisals.

(a) At Purchaser’s written request, the Bank shall cause a Phase I environmental assessment (“Phase I Assessment”) to be performed (at Purchaser’s expense) covering any property owned by the Bank and specified in Purchaser’s request. Any Phase I Assessment shall be prepared by an environmental engineering firm mutually acceptable to the parties and shall assess with a reasonable degree of certainty the presence or absence of any

Hazardous Materials and the potential costs in connection with any remedial action with respect to any Hazardous Materials found on, under, at or within the applicable property. The Bank will provide Purchaser with a copy of any Phase I Assessment performed. If any Phase I Assessment finds that any actions are necessary to contain, clean up or remediate any Hazardous Materials, or to bring any property of the Bank into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws or Applicable Law respecting zoning and building, the parties shall discuss in good faith the appropriate manner of addressing such findings.

(b) At Purchaser’s written request, the Bank shall obtain title insurance commitment (at the Bank’s expense) covering any property owned by the Bank and specified in Purchaser’s request. The Bank will provide Purchaser a copy of any title insurance commitment obtained, including any report listing exceptions, and Purchaser shall have the option to purchase a title insurance policy at Purchaser’s expense. If any requested title insurance cannot be obtained, or can only be obtained with exceptions not customarily included in title insurance available in the region where the property is located, the parties shall discuss in good faith the appropriate manner of addressing such inability to obtain customary insurance.

6.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns and Amendments.

(1) Purchaser shall timely prepare and file or cause to be filed with the appropriate authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Bank after the Closing Date, other than income and franchise Tax Returns described in Section 6.12(a)(2) below. All such Tax Returns that pertain to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the past practice of the Bank (except as otherwise required by Applicable Law) and in a manner that does not distort Taxable income as between Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Tax periods beginning after the Closing Date and the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date (a “Post-Closing Tax Period”) (e.g., by deferring income or accelerating deductions). Purchaser shall furnish a copy of any Tax Returns pertaining to a Pre-Closing Tax Period to Shareholder for its review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns, including extensions. Purchaser shall take into account any reasonable comments provided at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Returns. Except as required by Applicable Law, Purchaser shall not amend (and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including the Bank) to amend) any income Tax Return of the Bank relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of Shareholder (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(2) Shareholder shall cause the timely preparation and filing (or will provide to Purchaser for timely filing) with the appropriate authorities all income and franchise Tax Returns required to be filed by the Bank for Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the past practice of the Bank (except as otherwise required by Applicable Law) and in a manner that does not distort

Taxable income as between Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Post-Closing Tax Periods (e.g., by deferring income or accelerating deductions). Shareholder shall furnish such Tax Returns to Purchaser for its review and filing at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date, including extensions, for filing such Tax Returns. Seller shall take into account any reasonable comments provided by Purchaser at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return. Purchaser shall timely file such Tax Returns as furnished, or otherwise approved in writing, by Seller, except as otherwise required by Applicable Law. Purchaser and Shareholder agree to cause the Bank to file all Tax Returns for any Tax period including the Closing Date on the basis that the relevant Tax period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date, unless the relevant Governmental Entity will not accept a Tax Return filed on that basis.

(b) Proration of Taxes.

(1) With respect to a Straddle Period, the Taxes that shall be treated as attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined as follows: (i) to the extent such Tax is calculated on a basis other than income, profit, receipts, or gains, such as property Tax, such Tax shall be prorated based on the number of days in such Tax period up to and including the Closing Date, except that any increase in Taxes that would not have occurred but for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be taken into account and (ii) to the extent such Tax is measured by income or receipts or otherwise not described in (i), above, such Tax shall be allocated based on a closing of the books on the Closing Date with respect to the Bank.

(2) In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that shall be treated as attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period shall be all such Taxes other than the Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period pursuant to Section 6.12(b)(1) hereof.

(c) Cooperation. Each of the Sellers and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and Representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all Tax periods relating to Taxes. Purchaser and the Sellers recognize that Shareholder and its Affiliates will need access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information held by the Bank to the extent such records and information pertain to events occurring prior to the Closing Date; therefore, Purchaser agrees to (i) use best efforts to properly retain and maintain such records until such time as Shareholder agrees that such retention and maintenance is no longer necessary, and (ii) allow Shareholder and its agents and Representatives (and agents or Representatives of any of its Affiliates), at times and dates mutually acceptable to the parties, to inspect, review and make copies of such records as Shareholder may deem necessary or appropriate from time to time, such activities to be conducted during normal business hours and at Shareholder’s expense.

(d) Shareholder’s Liability for Taxes. Shareholder shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates from, against, and in respect of any Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, any such indemnified party based upon, arising out

of, with respect to or by reason of: (i) Taxes of the Bank with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period; (ii) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in Section 5.02(u) and this Section 6.12 (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 6.12(d), in determining the amount of any Losses in respect of a breach of any such representation or warranty, any qualifications relating to materiality (including Material Adverse Effect) or Knowledge contained in any such representation or warranty shall be disregarded); (iii) transfer Taxes for which Shareholder is responsible pursuant to Section 6.12(f); and (iv) without duplication, Taxes directly or indirectly arising from, related to or attributable to the breach or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement of the Sellers contained in this Agreement; and (v) without limitation on clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 6.12(d), any Taxes attributable to failure to properly withhold Tax from any payment and/or failure to pay any amount required to be withheld to a Governmental Entity, or to properly report any Tax item to a Governmental Entity, in each case, to the extent such failure (A) arises as a result of reliance by Purchaser or the Surviving Company on the Tax forms, client information and information reporting methodologies maintained by the Bank as of the Closing Date and (B) occurs prior to the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing Date.

(e) Procedures Relating to Indemnification of Tax Claims.

(1) If a claim shall be made by any Governmental Entity, which, if successful might result in an indemnity payment by Shareholder to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates under Section 6.12(d) (a “Tax Claim”), Purchaser shall promptly notify Shareholder of such Tax Claim in writing and in reasonable detail. Failure to provide such notice shall not limit the right of Purchaser and its Affiliates to be indemnified under Section 6.12(d), except to the extent Shareholder’s ability to participate as to such Tax Claim is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

(2) With respect to any Tax Claim with respect to income or franchise Taxes relating to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, Shareholder shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing, may in its sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Governmental Entity with respect thereto, and shall either, in its sole discretion, pay the Tax claimed and ▇▇▇ for a refund on behalf of Shareholder where Applicable Law permits such refund suits, or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided that (i) Purchaser may at its own expense participate in the Proceedings related to such Tax Claim, (ii) Shareholder shall keep Purchaser reasonably and timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of such Tax Claim, (iii) Shareholder shall consider any reasonable comments proposed by Purchaser that are related to the defense of such Tax Claim and (iv) Shareholder shall not settle, compromise or dispose of such Tax Claim without the consent of Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(3) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period, Purchaser shall have the right to control all Proceedings and may make any decisions in connection with any Tax Proceeding related to such Straddle Period; provided, however, that (i)

Shareholder may at the its own expense participate in the Proceedings related to such Tax Claim, if permitted by the Governmental Entity, (ii) Purchaser shall keep Shareholder reasonably and timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of such Tax Claim, and (iii) Purchaser shall not settle, compromise or dispose of such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of Shareholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(4) With respect to any Tax Claim not described in Section 6.12(e)(2) or (3), Purchaser shall have the right to control all Proceedings and may make any decisions in connection with such Tax Claim; provided that (i) Purchaser shall not settle, compromise or dispose of a Tax Claim with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for which Shareholder may be liable under this Section 6.12 without consent of Shareholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) Purchaser shall not settle, compromise or dispose of such Tax Claim in a manner that would either (x) shift income from a Post-Closing Tax Period to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (y) shift deductions from a Pre-Closing Tax Period to a Post-Closing Tax Period, without the consent of Shareholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(5) Purchaser and the Bank and each of their respective Affiliates shall cooperate with Shareholder in contesting any Tax Claim, which cooperation shall include the retention and (upon any request of Shareholder) the provision to Shareholder, of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim.

(f) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, value-added, registration and other such Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer or gains Taxes) and related fees (including any penalties, fines, interest and additions to Tax) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by Shareholder, and Shareholder shall file all appropriate Tax Returns as may be required with respect to such Taxes. Shareholder and Purchaser shall cooperate in timely making all Tax Returns as may be required to be filed in the preceding sentence.

(g) Survival; Interaction with ARTICLE VII. The representations and warranties in Section 5.02(u) and the indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall survive the Closing until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof) relevant to each particular item, including any indemnification obligation arising from a breach of the representations and warranties; provided that if notice of indemnification under Section 6.12(e)(1) is provided to the indemnifying party prior to any such expiration date, any obligation to indemnify for any claim described in such notice shall continue indefinitely until such claim is finally resolved. Indemnification for Losses with respect to the matters set forth in Section 6.12(d) shall be governed solely by this Section 6.12 and the provisions of Article VII (other than Section 7.01(a)(2)) shall not be applicable to indemnification with respect to Taxes.

(h) Amounts Payable. As more specifically described in the following sentence, Shareholder shall pay all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.12 promptly following receipt from Purchaser of a claim for a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder. In any event, Shareholder shall pay to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of any Loss for which it is liable hereunder no later than ten (10) Business Days following any Final Determination of such Loss and the indemnifying party’s liability therefor. A “Final Determination” shall exist when (i) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable order or judgment or (iii) an arbitration or like panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable determination with respect to disputes the parties have agreed to submit thereto. Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law, all payments made by Shareholder in respect of any claim pursuant to Section 6.12(d) shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

6.13 Further Assurances. The parties agree that, from time to time, whether before, on or after the Closing Date, each of them will execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement.

6.14 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(a) During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-Competition Period”), Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in the business of the Bank (any such business, a “Competing Business”) in the Designated Markets; provided, however, that the limitations of this Section 6.14(a) shall not apply to control of up to three percent (3%) of the outstanding securities of any entity (i) the securities of which are listed and traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or market and (ii) that is engaged in the Competing Business; as long as Shareholder does not otherwise control such entity. In addition, the provisions of this Section 6.14(a) shall not apply to Shareholder’s operation of Lincoln Community Bank and United Community Bank until the closing of the sales of such banks; and (b) Shareholder shall be permitted to attempt to collect any loans that are transferred to Shareholder as excluded assets in any of the sales of its Affiliate banks.

In addition to Shareholder’s covenants set forth in Sections 6.14(b) and (c), the persons listed on Schedule 6.14(c) of the Sellers Disclosure Letter, for the respective periods listed on Schedule 6.14(c) of Sellers Disclosure Letter, shall each execute Non-Solicitation Agreement in the form of Exhibit D, to be effective as of the Closing Date.

(d) Shareholder acknowledges that (a) as between Shareholder and the Bank, the Bank owns all trademarks, service marks, trade dress, trade names, and domain names consisting of or incorporating the terms set forth in Section 6.14(d) of the Sellers Disclosure Letter (collectively, the “Bank Marks”), and (b) Shareholder has no rights, or is not acquiring any rights, to use the Bank Marks after the Closing Date. Shareholder may not use any Bank Marks after the Closing Date, except that Shareholder may at all times after the Closing Date retain records and other historical or archived documents containing or referencing the Bank Marks.

(e) Shareholder understands and acknowledges that (i) it would be difficult to calculate damages to Purchaser from any breach of the obligations under this Section 6.14, (ii) injury to Purchaser from any such breach would be irreparable and impossible to measure and (iii) the remedy under Applicable Law for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.14 would therefore be an inadequate remedy and, accordingly, Purchaser shall, in addition to all other available remedies (including seeking such damages as it can show it has sustained by reason of such breach and/or the exercise of all other rights it has under this Agreement), be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable remedies without the necessity of showing actual damages or posting bond. Shareholder shall be responsible for breaches of this Section 6.14 by its Affiliates (other than the Bank) and its and their respective directors and officers.

(f) Shareholder understands and acknowledges that the restrictive covenants and other agreements contained in this Section 6.14 are an essential part of this Agreement. It is the intention of the parties that, if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein are held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time that is not permitted by Applicable Law, or is in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent that such provision would then be valid or enforceable under Applicable Law, such provision shall be construed and interpreted or reformed to provide for a restriction or covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions as shall be valid and enforceable under Applicable Law.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, none of the restrictions imposed by applicable subsections of this Section 6.14 shall apply to any person that is an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement if such person ceases to be an Affiliate of such party.

6.15 Representatives’ Fees. Prior to the Determination Date, all fees or other payments due to any Representatives of the Bank in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby shall

be fully paid or fully accrued on the Bank’s financial accounts and the Determination Date Balance Sheet.

6.16 Retention and Stay Bonuses; Employment Agreement.

(a) Each employee of the Bank who is listed on Section 6.16 of Purchaser’s Disclosure Letter shall be eligible to receive the retention bonus set forth on Section 6.16 of Purchaser’s Disclosure Letter pursuant to a retention agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Shareholder. Each employee of the Bank who is listed on Section 6.16 of Purchaser’s Disclosure Letter shall be eligible to receive the stay bonus set forth on Section 6.16 of Purchaser’s Disclosure Letter pursuant to a stay bonus agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and Shareholder.

(b) Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Shareholder has delivered to Purchaser an employment agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, duly executed by the Bank’s current president and CEO, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and Purchaser has delivered to Shareholder and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, an executed counterpart to such employment agreement.

6.17 Voting and Support Agreement. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Shareholder has delivered to Purchaser a voting and support agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser, approving this Agreement and the consummation of the contemplated transaction, duly executed by the shareholder listed on Section 6.17 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter.

6.18 MasterCard Covenant. As promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement Seller shall initiate negotiations with MasterCard to amend the MasterCard Agreement to (i) reapportion the amount of transaction volume, revenue and any other measure under the MasterCard Agreement, including, without limitation, the Cumulative Qualified Volume Amount (as defined in the MasterCard Agreement), so that such amounts relate to the Bank only (and not any other Affiliate of Shareholder), (ii) affirm that the MasterCard Agreement can be operated by CCF Bank together with that certain Growth Agreement dated June 21, 2017 by and between Visa U.S.A. Inc. and CCF Bank (the “Visa Agreement”), and (iii) such other provisions as would mitigate the Liability of CCF Bank in operating the MasterCard Agreement following the Closing. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in such negotiations to obtain such amended MasterCard Agreement. Based upon the results of those negotiations and further evaluation of the costs associated therewith and the costs associated with the termination of the MasterCard Agreement, Shareholder and Purchaser will determine whether CCF Bank, following the Closing, will assume responsibility for operation under such amended MasterCard Agreement or whether the Bank, at or upon the Closing, will cease operating under the MasterCard Agreement.

7.04 Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a) If an indemnified party shall desire to assert any claim for indemnification provided for under this Article VII in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any person (other than a party hereto or Affiliate thereof) against the indemnified party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing, and in reasonable detail (taking into account the information then available to such indemnified party), of the Third-Party Claim promptly after receipt by such indemnified party of written notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The indemnified party shall deliver to the indemnifying party, promptly after the indemnified party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the indemnified party relating to the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such copies shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(b) If a Third-Party Claim is made against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof (at its expense) and, if it so chooses, within ten (10) days of receiving notice of such claim acknowledges without reservation its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party therefor and furnishes acceptable evidence of the resources necessary to properly defend such matter, to assume the defense thereof (at its expense) with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim that (i) is a criminal claim or involves any allegations of criminal wrongdoing or fraud, (ii) is a claim by a Governmental Entity or involves an alleged violation of Applicable Law, (iii) seeks injunctive or other non-monetary relief, (iv) is, in the case of Purchaser, material to Purchaser or the Surviving Company, or (v) relates to the period after the Closing.

(c) Should the indemnifying party have the right to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim and elect to so assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless the Third-Party Claim involves potential conflicts of interest or different defenses for the indemnified party and the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party assumes such defense, the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence), separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such

defense. If the indemnified party reasonably determines (i) that the indemnifying party failed or is failing to adequately prosecute or defend any Third-Party Claim for which it has assumed the defense, (ii) that the conduct of the defense of any claim subject to indemnification hereunder or any proposed settlement of any such claim by the indemnifying party might be expected to affect adversely the indemnified party’s Tax Liability or (in the event the indemnified party is a Purchaser Indemnified Party) the ability of Purchaser to conduct its business, or (iii) that the indemnified party may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the indemnifying party in respect of such claim or any litigation thereto, then the indemnified party may revoke the ability of the indemnifying party to control the defense of such claim and may, itself, assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof and as otherwise contemplated by (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

(d) If the indemnifying party chooses to defend any Third-Party Claim, all the parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the indemnifying party’s reasonable request) the provision to the indemnifying party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and use of all reasonable efforts to make employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the indemnifying party shall have assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the indemnified party shall not admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the indemnifying party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The indemnifying party may pay, settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim without the written consent of the indemnified party, so long as such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all Liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim, (ii) does not subject the indemnified party to any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy or any other obligation other than solely the payment of monetary damages for which the indemnified party will be indemnified hereunder, and (iii) does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

(e) If an indemnified party shall desire to assert any claim for indemnification provided for under this Article VII other than a claim in respect of, arising out of or involving a Third-Party Claim, such indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing, and in reasonable detail (taking into account the information then available to such indemnified party), of such claim promptly after becoming aware of the existence of such claim; provided that the failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided for hereunder except to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. If the indemnifying party does not respond to such notice within forty-five (45) days after its receipt, it will have no further right to contest the validity or amount of such claim.

(f) The parties agree that Shareholder shall act in all respects under this Article VII as the Seller Indemnified Party and indemnifying party on behalf of the Sellers.

7.05 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Shareholder shall have no Liability for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(1) if the Loss associated with such claim is less than five thousand dollars ($5,000) (any such claim being referred to as a “De Minimis Claim”). Shareholder shall have no Liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(1)(ii) with respect to Losses for which indemnification is provided thereunder unless the aggregate amount of such Losses (including all Losses associated with De Minimis Claims) exceeds two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) (the “Indemnity Threshold”), in which case Shareholder shall be liable for all Losses in excess of the Indemnity Threshold (excluding all Losses associated with De Minimis Claims); provided that in no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by Shareholder (i) pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(1)(ii) exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000) or (ii) pursuant to Section 7.03(a)(1)(i) exceed twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000).

(b) Purchaser shall have no Liability for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(1) if the Loss is associated with any De Minimis Claim. Purchaser shall have no Liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(1)(ii) with respect to Losses for which indemnification is provided thereunder unless the aggregate amount of such Losses (including all Losses associated with De Minimis Claims) exceeds the Indemnity Threshold, in which case Purchaser shall be liable for all Losses in excess of the Indemnity Threshold (excluding all Losses associated with De Minimis Claims); provided that in no event shall the aggregate indemnification to be paid by Purchaser (i) pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(1)(ii) exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000) or (ii) pursuant to Section 7.02(a)(1)(i) exceed twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000).

(c) The limitations specified in Sections 7.05(a)–7.05(b) shall not apply in respect of fraudulent breaches of representations and warranties or willful concealment of any matter which breaches a representation or warranty.

(d) No indemnified party shall be entitled to recover from an indemnifying party more than once in respect of the same Losses.

7.06 Indemnity Payments. All payments made pursuant to this Article VII (other than interest payments) shall be treated by the parties on all Tax Returns as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

7.07 Insurance; Recoveries. The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification hereunder shall be calculated net of any insurance proceeds or other payments actually received by the indemnified party from any insurer or other third party on account of such Loss (as reduced by any related retrospective or prospective increase in premiums and taking into account all costs and expenses reasonably incurred in procuring such proceeds or payments, and any Taxes paid or payable as a result of the receipt of such proceeds or payments). The indemnified party shall be under no obligation to pursue any insurance claim with respect to a matter for

which such party is claiming indemnity under this Agreement if the indemnified party reasonably believes the cost of pursuing such insurance claim, including any increase in premium related thereto, would be greater than the potential recovery. To the extent that the indemnified party pursues an insurance claim and the costs related thereto (as described in the parenthetical above) exceed the insurance proceeds, the excess will be treated as a Loss. If the amount of any Loss suffered by any indemnified party is reduced, at any time subsequent to any payment in respect thereof by an indemnifying party pursuant to recovery from any insurer or other third party on account of such Loss, an amount equal to the amount of such reduction (not to exceed, in any event, the amount so previously paid in respect thereof by the indemnifying party), less any costs incurred in obtaining such recovery, shall either promptly be repaid by the indemnified party to the indemnifying party or will serve as an offset of other amounts owed by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party.

7.08 Waiver. Shareholder agrees that any information supplied by the Bank or by or on behalf of any of the employees, directors, agents or officers of the Bank to Shareholder or its advisers in connection with this Agreement, the information in the Sellers Disclosure Letter or otherwise shall not constitute a warranty, representation or guarantee as to the accuracy of such information in favor of Shareholder, and Shareholder hereby undertakes to Purchaser and to the Bank that it waives any and all claims which it might otherwise have against any of them in respect of such claims.

FORM OF ESCROW AGREEMENT

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of , 2018, is entered into by and among Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Purchaser”), United Bancorporation, a South Dakota corporation (“Seller”), and Bankers’ Bank, a Wisconsin state bank (“Escrow Agent”).

INTRODUCTION

Purchaser, Seller, and United Bank (“Bank”) are parties to a Stock Purchase dated _______________, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by which Purchaser purchased the outstanding stock of Bank from Seller. This Agreement is entered into pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to establish an escrow for the purpose of funding any indemnification claim under the Purchase Agreement as provided in Article VII of the Purchase Agreement (“Indemnification Claim”). On the date hereof, Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent to be held hereunder [____________] Dollars ([$_________]) (the “Escrow”) to fund Indemnification Claims between the date hereof and _____________, 20__ (eighteen months) (the “Escrow Period”). The Parties desire that Escrow Agent act as escrow agent for both parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and Escrow Agent is willing to act in such capacity.

NOW, THEREFORE, in contemplation of the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants, representations and warranties contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. Purchaser and Seller hereby appoint and designate Escrow Agent as escrow agent to receive, hold, invest and disburse the Escrow and any income, interest or other amounts received thereon in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Escrow Agent hereby accepts its appointment as escrow agent and agrees to receive, hold, invest and disburse the Escrow and any income, interest or other amounts received thereon in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2. The Escrow.

2.1 Funding of the Escrow. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that [$__________] of the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement is hereby placed in escrow with the Escrow Agent.

2.2 Receipt of the Escrow Funds. Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of [$__________] to be placed in the escrow. The Escrow is not the property of Escrow Agent and is to be held in a separate, segregated account.

Exh. A-1

2.3 Investment of the Escrow. Escrow Agent shall deposit the Escrow in an interest bearing account at ___________, which shall earn interest at an annual rate equal to ___________________________________.

3. Disbursement of the Escrow Funds.

3.1 Claims. Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain from the Escrow amounts equal to any Indemnification Claim incurred by Purchaser during the Escrow Period up to the full amount of the Escrow plus any interest accrued thereon (the “Indemnification Escrow Amount”).

3.2 Procedure for Indemnification Claims. Indemnification Claims under this Agreement shall be paid pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of: (a) joint written instructions by Purchaser and Seller to Escrow Agent instructing Escrow Agent to disburse to Purchaser from Escrow the amount of such Indemnification Claims or (b) any Final Determination upon receipt of a written notice from any party, with a copy to the other party, executed by such party certifying that a Final Determination has been issued (with a copy of such Final Determination attached to such written notice) and directing the Escrow Agent to make such disbursement of all or a portion of the Escrow Property in accordance with the Final Determination. A “Final Determination” shall exist when (i) the parties to the dispute have reached an agreement in writing, (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction shall have entered a final and non-appealable order or judgment or (iii) an arbitration or like panel shall have rendered a final non-appealable determination with respect to disputes the parties have agreed to submit thereto. Escrow Agent shall disburse such funds within three (3) business days after its receipt of such joint written instructions or Final Determination.

3.3 Termination of Escrow.

(a) On the next business day following the end of the Indemnification Escrow Period (the “Indemnification Escrow Disbursement Date”), the Escrow Agent shall disburse to Seller from the Escrow an amount equal to (i) the full amount of the Escrow, including any interest earned on such amount up and to the date of the disbursement, less (ii) any amounts previously disbursed from the Escrow to Purchaser, and less (iii) any Unresolved Claim Amounts (as defined below). If, prior to the Indemnification Escrow Disbursement Date, the Escrow Agent receives written notice from Purchaser (with a copy of such notice delivered to the Seller) that there are one or more Unresolved Claims (as defined below) as of such date, the Escrow Agent shall retain the Unresolved Claim Amounts in the Escrow and distribute such Unresolved Claim Amounts only in accordance with Section 3.2. “Unresolved Claims” means any good faith claim by any Purchaser Indemnified Parties (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for indemnification under the Purchase Agreement which is not finally determined (either by mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller or a court of competent jurisdiction) prior to the Indemnification Escrow Disbursement Date. “Unresolved Claim Amounts” means the aggregate dollar amount of the Escrow, if any, which is the subject of one or more Unresolved Claims by any Purchaser Indemnified Party(ies) for indemnity under the Purchase Agreement.

Exh. A-2

(b) During the period during which any funds remain in Escrow, neither the Seller nor Purchaser shall have any right to receive, pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of the money constituting the Escrow.

3.4 Reliance. Escrow Agent shall be able to rely conclusively, without inquiry or liability, on the joint instructions, agreements and decisions of Purchaser and Seller, and no party shall have any cause of action against Escrow Agent for any action taken by Escrow Agent in reliance upon the joint agreements, instructions or decisions of the authorized signers of Purchaser or Seller. Concurrent with the execution of this Escrow Agreement, the parties shall deliver to the Escrow Agent authorized signers’ forms in the form of Exhibit A-1 and Exhibit A-2 to this Escrow Agreement.

3.5 Joint Instructions. In the event that Escrow Agent receives any joint instructions or notice in writing from Purchaser and Seller, such instructions or notice may be revoked only (a) if Escrow Agent has not already acted upon such joint instructions or notice and (b) pursuant to further joint instructions or notice in writing from Purchaser and the Seller.

3.6 Purpose. None of the Escrow will be available for any purpose other than as described herein.

4. Termination of the Escrow. The Escrow provided for hereunder shall terminate upon the complete disbursement of the Escrow pursuant to Section 3.3.

5. Covenants of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent hereby agrees and covenants to Purchaser and Seller as follows:

5.1 Escrow Agent agrees to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and not to deliver custody or possession of any of the Escrow to anyone except pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement.

5.2 Escrow Agent agrees to send, within three (3) business days after receipt of a written notice from either Purchaser or Seller (not including joint written instructions), one copy of such written notice to the other.

6. Resignation and Removal of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may resign from the performance of its duties hereunder at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Purchaser and Seller or may be removed, with or without cause, by mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller at any time by the giving of thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Escrow Agent. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor escrow agent as provided herein. Upon any such notice of resignation or removal, Purchaser and Seller shall appoint a successor escrow agent. Upon the acceptance in writing of any appointment as Escrow Agent hereunder by a successor escrow agent, such successor escrow agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring escrow agent, and the retiring escrow agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement other than to safely keep the Escrow and to deliver the same to the successor escrow agent as directed by joint instructions of Purchaser and Seller or by a court

Exh. A-3

order. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any resignation or removal of an escrow agent shall not discharge such escrow agent from any liability for actions taken as escrow agent hereunder prior to such removal or resignation. After any retiring escrow agent’s resignation or removal, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was escrow agent under this Agreement.

7. Liability of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall have no liability or obligation with respect to its services hereunder except for Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Escrow Agent may rely upon any instrument, not only as to its due execution, validity and effectiveness, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by the person or parties purporting to sign the same and to conform to the provisions of this Agreement. Escrow Agent may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question of the construction of this Agreement or seek the assistance of a court of competent jurisdiction, and shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with the opinion or instruction of such counsel or such court. Purchaser and Seller hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation and counsel fees and disbursement, which may be imposed upon Escrow Agent or incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with its acceptance of appointment as escrow agent hereunder, or the performance of its duties hereunder, including any litigation arising from this Agreement or involving the subject matter hereof or the cash deposited hereunder; provided, however, Escrow Agent shall not be indemnified or held harmless in the event it acts with gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnification provided herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

8. Compensation of Escrow Agent. Purchaser, on one hand, and Seller, on the other, shall each pay one-half of the payments due to Escrow Agent for performing its duties hereunder in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto.

NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

This NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into and is made effective as of _________________, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“CCBI”), and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“Executive”).

WHEREAS, Executive is an officer and director of United Bancorporation, a South Dakota corporation (“UBC”), and United Bank, a Wisconsin state bank (the “Bank”).

WHEREAS, UBC owns all of the issued and outstanding shares (the “Bank Shares”) of capital stock of the Bank.

WHEREAS, CCBI, UBC, and the Bank are parties to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated June __, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which CCBI will purchase Bank Shares from UBC (the “Transaction”).

WHEREAS, the Purchase Agreement conditions the closing of the Transaction on CCBI’s and Executive’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, Executive will be receiving substantial direct and indirect consideration from the Transaction, Executive’s execution and delivery of this Agreement was a material inducement to CCBI’s execution of the Purchase Agreement and is a condition to CCBI’s obligation to close the Transaction, and Executive acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing is sufficient consideration for Executive’s obligations in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Need for Restrictions. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Bank’s business, technical, and customer information is established and maintained at great expense to the Bank and is of significant value to the Bank, and that by virtue of Executive’s services to the Bank and UBC, Executive has possession of information pertaining to, and has had unique and extensive exposure to, and personal contact with, the Bank’s business, technical and customer information which would enable Executive to compete unfairly with the Bank. As a result, and in consideration of CCBI’s entry into the Purchase Agreement and closing of the Transaction, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the following restrictions are necessary to protect the Bank’s business.

(b) Confidential Information; Trade Secret. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information disclosed to Executive or known by him as a result of or as disclosed in the course of Executive’s services to the Bank and UBC which is not

Exh. C-1

generally known to the public pertaining to the Bank’s business, including, but not limited to, operations, contracts, customers, customer lists, proposals, research and development, procedures and protocols, operating models, financial information, pricing, price lists, marketing methods, strategic planning information, information stored in or developed for use with the Bank’s computer systems, insurance plans, risk management information, or marketing programs, and third-party information that the Bank may learn from its customers or clients. Confidential Information shall include any such information developed or created by Executive if the information was developed or created by Executive while executing Executive’s duties for the Bank or UBC or if the information was developed or created by Executive based upon any Confidential Information that Executive learned by virtue of Executive’s services to the Bank or UBC. Confidential Information shall not include any information that Executive can demonstrate is in the public domain by means other than disclosure by Executive, but shall include non-public compilations, combinations, or analyses of otherwise public information.

(c) Non-Disclosure or Use of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. For the five-year period following the Effective Date, Executive shall not directly or indirectly, under any circumstances, communicate or disclose to any person, firm, association, corporation, company or any other third party, or use for Executive’s own benefit or the benefit of any person or entity, any Confidential Information, and Executive will keep secret and in strict confidence and hold inviolate said Confidential Information. Executive further agrees not to disclose to others or use, at any time between the Effective Date and the date that is five years following the Effective Date, any Confidential Information that constitutes and remains a trade secret under the Wisconsin Trade Secrets Act, as amended (Section 134.90 Wis. Stats.), any Confidential Information that the Bank received from a third party and continues to hold in confidence, and any Confidential Information that he is otherwise prohibited by law from disclosing to others or using. The prohibitions of this paragraph do not apply to Confidential Information after it has become generally known and/or in the public domain through no fault of Executive. The prohibitions of this paragraph also do not prohibit use of Executive’s general skills and knowledge acquired during and prior to his services to the Bank and UBC, as long as such use does not involve the use or disclosure of Confidential Information.
