AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is dated as of October 10, 2016, by and among Enterprise Financial Services Corp, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Enterprise Bank & Trust, a Missouri state-chartered trust company with banking powers and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Buyer Bank”), Jefferson County Bancshares, Inc., a Missouri corporation (“Company”), and Eagle Bank and Trust Company of Missouri, a Missouri state-chartered trust company with banking powers and wholly-owned subsidiary of Company (“Company Bank”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of each of Buyer, Buyer Bank, Company and Company Bank have (i) determined that this Agreement and the business combination and related transactions contemplated hereby are fair to and in the best interests of their respective entities and shareholders; and (ii) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are consistent with and in furtherance of their respective business strategies;

WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms, and subject to the conditions, of this Agreement, (i) Company will merge with and into Buyer, with Buyer as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and immediately thereafter (ii) Company Bank will merge with and into Buyer Bank, with Buyer Bank as the surviving entity (the “Bank Merger”);

WHEREAS, for federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and including the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”);

WHEREAS, as a material inducement and as additional consideration to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each of the directors and certain officers and principal holders of the Company Common Stock have entered into a voting agreement with Buyer dated as of the date hereof, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to which each such Person has agreed, among other things, to vote all shares of Company Stock owned by such Person in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, Buyer is entering into an employment agreement with Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, to become effective as of the Closing, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B;

WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement and to prescribe certain conditions thereto; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire that capitalized terms used herein shall have the definitions ascribed to such terms when they are first used herein or as otherwise specified in Article 8 hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Company shall merge with and into Buyer in accordance with the DGCL and the GBCLM. Upon consummation of the Merger, at the Effective Time the separate corporate existence of Company shall cease and Buyer shall survive and continue to exist as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (Buyer, as the surviving entity in the Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “Surviving Entity”).

Section 1.02 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Entity upon consummation of the Merger at the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Buyer as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 1.03 Directors and Officers of Surviving Entity.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 1.03(b), the directors and officers of Buyer immediately prior to the Effective Time shall serve as directors and officers of the Surviving Entity.

(b) Subject to compliance with applicable Law (including, to the extent applicable, the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ), prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all necessary corporate or other action so that upon and after the Effective Time, at the election of Buyer, either (i) the size of the board of directors of Buyer (the “Board of Buyer”) is increased by one member or (ii) one of the then incumbent directors resigns from the Board of Buyer, and in either case one member of the Company Board who is independent with respect to Buyer, selected by mutual agreement of Company and Buyer (the “Company Director”), is elected or appointed to the Board of Buyer to fill the vacancy on the Board of Buyer created by such increase. Buyer, through the Board of Buyer and subject to the Board of Buyer’s fiduciary duties to the shareholders of Buyer, shall take all necessary action to nominate the Company Director for election to the Board of Buyer in the proxy statement relating to the first annual meeting of the shareholders of Buyer following the Closing. Until the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Company Board to maintain at least one director who is a member of the Company Board on the date of this Agreement and who is independent with respect to Buyer for purposes of the listing requirements of NASDAQ.

Section 1.04 Bank Merger. Immediately following the Effective Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter, Company Bank will be merged with and into Buyer Bank upon the terms and with the effect set forth in the Plan of Bank Merger. The Plan of Bank Merger shall provide that upon consummation of the merger of Company Bank with and into Buyer Bank, at the election of Buyer Bank, either (i) the size of the board of directors of Buyer Bank (the “Board of Buyer Bank”) will be increased by one member or (ii) one of the then incumbent directors will resign from the Board of Buyer Bank, and in either case one member of the Company Board or the Company Bank board, selected by mutual agreement of the Company and Buyer (the “Company Bank Director”), will be elected or appointed to the Board of Buyer Bank to fill the vacancy on the Board of Buyer Bank created by such increase. Buyer Bank, through the Board of Buyer Bank, shall take all necessary action to nominate the Company Bank Director for election to the Board of Buyer Bank at the next annual meeting of the shareholders of Buyer Bank.

Section 1.05 Effective Time; Closing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Buyer, Buyer Bank, Company and Company Bank will make all such filings as may be required by applicable Laws to consummate the Merger and the Bank Merger. The Merger shall become effective upon filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the Closing Date, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the “Effective Time”).

(b) The Bank Merger shall become effective as set forth in the Plan of Bank Merger providing for the Bank Merger, at the later of immediately following the Effective Time or as promptly as practicable thereafter. Prior to the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause Buyer Bank, and Company shall cause Company Bank, to execute such certificates or articles of combination and such other documents and certificates as are necessary to make the Bank Merger effective immediately following the Effective Time.

(c) The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at such date and time agreed by Buyer and Company, which such date shall be no later than five (5) Business Days after all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article 6 (other than conditions to be satisfied at the Closing, which shall be satisfied or waived at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof (such date, the “Closing Date”) remotely via the electronic exchange of documentation between the parties (via facsimile, electronic transmission or other similar means for exchanging documentation), or at such other place as the parties may mutually agree.

Section 1.06 Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, Buyer shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, documents, assignments or assurances in Law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, Company, Company Bank and their respective Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer and Buyer Bank, and each or any of them, an irrevocable power of attorney to

execute and deliver, in such official corporate capacities, all such deeds, assignments or assurances in Law or any other acts as are necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, and the officers and directors of Buyer and Buyer Bank, as applicable, are authorized in the name of Company, Company Bank and their respective Subsidiaries to take any and all such action.

Section 1.07 Reservation of Right to Revise Structure. At Buyer’s election, without the approval of the Company, the business combination contemplated by this Agreement may alternatively be structured so that (i) Company is merged with and into any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer, (ii) any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer is merged with and into Company, (iii) Company Bank is merged with and into any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer Bank, (iv) any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer Bank is merged with and into Company Bank; provided, however, that no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount of the consideration to be issued to any holder of Company Stock as Merger Consideration, (ii) impede or delay consummation of the Merger (including any Regulatory Approval), (iii) adversely or alter or change the federal income Tax treatment of holders of Company Stock in connection with the Merger from what such treatment would have been absent such change, (iv) require submission to or approval of Company’s shareholders after the plan of merger set forth in this Agreement has been approved by Company’s shareholders, or (v) otherwise adversely affect Company, Company Bank or any shareholder of Company in any material respect. In the event that Buyer elects to make such a change, the parties agree to execute appropriate documents to reflect the change.

ARTICLE 2.

MERGER CONSIDERATION; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

Section 2.01 Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Buyer Bank, Company Bank, Company or any shareholder of Company:

(a) Each share of Buyer Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

(b) Each share of Company Stock owned directly by Buyer, Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like for the benefit of customers) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and retired at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Common Stock held in treasury and Dissenting Shares) shall become and be converted into, as provided in and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the right to receive (i) 2.75 shares of Buyer Common Stock (the “Per Share Stock Consideration”) or (ii) $85.39 in cash (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”).

Section 2.02 Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Awards.

(a) Unless otherwise noted, the provisions of this Section 2.02 pertain to all options and other stock-based awards granted by Company, including but not limited to awards granted under the Company’s Stock Plans, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Stock Awards”).

(b) Buyer and Company shall take all actions necessary so that, at the Effective Time, all rights with respect to Company Common Stock pursuant to In-the-money Company Stock Awards which are issued, outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not exercisable, shall cease to represent a right to acquire Company Common Stock and shall be cancelled and converted automatically as of the Effective Time into the right of each holder of Company Stock Award to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such holder’s Company Stock Award multiplied by (2) the Per Share Cash Consideration minus the exercise price per share under such Company Stock Award. At the Effective Time, each Out-of-the-money Company Stock Award shall be cancelled and of no further force and effect.

Section 2.03 Aggregate Closing Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate amount of cash paid and the aggregate number of shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued to holders of Company Common Stock

and holders of Company Stock Awards shall not exceed the Closing Cash and the Total Shares of Stock Consideration, respectively, and such aggregate consideration, the “Merger Consideration”.

Section 2.04 Rights as Shareholders; Conversion Alternatives.

(a) Holders of Company Stock may elect to receive shares of Buyer Common Stock or cash (in either case without interest) in exchange for their shares of Company Stock in accordance with the following procedures, provided that, in the aggregate the Stock Conversion Number, shall be converted into the Per Share Stock Consideration and the remaining outstanding shares of Company Stock shall be converted into Per Share Cash Consideration. Shares of Company Stock as to which a Cash Election has been made are referred to herein as “Cash Election Shares.” Shares of Company Stock as to which a Stock Election has been made (including pursuant to a Mixed Election) are referred to as “Stock Election Shares.” Shares of Company Stock as to which no election has been made (or as to which an Election Form is not returned properly completed) are referred to herein as “Non-Election Shares.” The aggregate number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which a Stock Election has been made is referred to herein as the “Stock Election Number.” Any Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to be Cash Election Shares, and the holders thereof shall in no event receive consideration comprised of Buyer Common Stock with respect to such shares.

(b) An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent), in such form as Buyer and Company mutually agree (“Election Form”), shall be mailed not less than 20 Business Days but not more than 40 Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Time or on such earlier date as Buyer and Company shall mutually agree (the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of Company Stock as of 5 Business Days prior to the Mailing Date (the “Election Form Record Date”). Each Election Form shall permit such holder, subject to the allocation and election procedures set forth in this Section 2.04, (i) to elect to receive Per Share Cash Consideration for each of the shares of Company Stock held by such holder (a “Cash Election), (ii) to elect to receive Per Share Stock Consideration for each of such shares (a “Stock Election”), (iii) to elect to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration for a part of such holder’s Company Stock and the Per Share Cash Consideration for the remaining part of such holder’s Company Stock (a “Mixed Election”), or (iv) to indicate that such record holder has no preference as to the receipt of cash or Buyer Common Stock for such shares (a “Non-Election”). A holder of record of shares of Company Stock who holds such shares as nominee, trustee or in another representative capacity (a “Representative”) may submit multiple Election Forms, provided that each such Election Form covers all shares of Company Stock held by such Representative for a particular beneficial owner. Any such shares of Company Stock with respect to which the holder thereof shall not, as of the Election Deadline, have made an election by submission to the Exchange Agent on the effective, properly completed Election Form shall be deemed Non-Election Shares.

(c) To be effective, a properly completed Election Form shall be submitted to the Exchange Agent on or before 5:00 p.m., Saint Louis, Missouri time, on the 20th day following the Mailing Date (or such other time and date as the parties may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”); provided, however, that the Election Deadline may not occur on or after the Closing Date. Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein. An election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by one or more Certificate(s) (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such Certificate(s) or the guaranteed delivery of such Certificate(s)) representing all shares of Company Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included with the Election Form (the “Letter of Transmittal”). Buyer and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of Company to establish the identity of the holders of Company Common Stock, which books shall be conclusive with respect thereto. If a Company’s shareholder either (i) does not submit a properly completed Election Form in a timely fashion or (ii) revokes its Election Form prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of Company Stock held by such shareholder shall be designated as Non-Election Shares. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form to the Exchange Agent by written notice to the Exchange Agent only if such notice of revocation or change is actually received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline. Buyer shall cause the Certificate or Certificates relating to any revoked Election Form to be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting

the Election Form to the Exchange Agent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have discretion to determine when any election, modification or revocation is received and whether any such election, modification or revocation has been properly made.

(d) If the Stock Election Number exceeds the Stock Conversion Number, then each Cash Election Share and each Non-Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Closing Per Share Cash Consideration, and, subject to Section 2.01 hereof, each holder of Stock Election Shares will be entitled to receive Per Share Stock Consideration only with respect to that number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Stock Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Stock Election Number, with the remaining number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration.

(e) If the Stock Election Number is less than the Stock Conversion Number (the amount by which the Stock Conversion Number exceeds the Stock Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive Buyer Common Stock as consideration and the Non-Election Shares and Cash Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner: (i) if the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration and, subject to Section 2.01 hereof, each holder of Non-Election Shares shall receive Per Share Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Non-Election Shares being converted into Per Share Cash Consideration; or (ii) if the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into Per Share Stock Consideration, and, subject to Section 2.01 hereof, each holder of Cash Election Shares shall receive Per Share Stock Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which (1) the Shortfall Number exceeds (2) the total number of Non-Election Shares and the denominator of which is the total number of Cash Election Shares, with the remaining number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration

Section 2.05 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Merger. In lieu thereof, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to each non-dissenting holder of a fractional share of Buyer Common Stock, rounded to the nearest one hundredth of a share, an amount of cash (without interest and rounded to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying the fractional share interest in Buyer Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the Average VWAP of the Buyer Common Stock as of the Closing Date.

Section 2.06 Plan of Reorganization. It is intended that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” as that term is used in Sections 354 and 361 of the Code. From and after the date of this Agreement and until the Closing, each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

Section 2.07 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a shareholder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has complied with applicable provisions of the GBCLM (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal. From and after the Effective Time, a shareholder who has properly exercised such appraisal rights shall not have any rights of a shareholder of Company or the Surviving Entity with respect to shares of Company Stock, except those provided under applicable provisions of the GBCLM (any shareholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”). A Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of

each share of Company Stock in accordance with the applicable provisions of the GBCLM, unless, after the Effective Time, such shareholder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses the right to appraisal, in which case such shares of Company Stock shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration for such shares, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the shareholder’s Certificates pursuant to Section 2.01. Buyer shall have the right to participate in all discussions, negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for appraisal. Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Buyer, voluntarily make, or offer to make, any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal. Company shall not waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or the taking of any other action by such Dissenting Shareholder as may be necessary to perfect appraisal rights under the GBCLM. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by Buyer as the Surviving Entity.

Section 2.08 Deposit of Merger Consideration.

(a) At or before the Effective Time, Buyer shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent stock certificates, or at Buyer’s option, evidence of shares in book entry form, representing the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock, and an aggregate amount of cash sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to this Article 2 (including the amount of cash to pay the estimated amount of cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares of Company Stock), sufficient to deliver the aggregate Merger Consideration payable under the terms hereof in accordance with this Article 2 (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”), and Buyer shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay such consideration in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Company for one (1) year after the Effective Time (as well as any interest or proceeds from any investment thereof) shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to Buyer. Any shareholders of Company who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.08 and Section 2.09(a) shall thereafter look only to Buyer for the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.05) in accordance with this Article 2 deliverable in respect of each share of Company Stock such shareholder held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case without any interest thereon. If outstanding Certificates for shares of Company Stock are not surrendered or the payment for them is not claimed prior to the date on which such shares of Buyer Common Stock or cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental unit or agency, the unclaimed items shall, to the extent permitted by the law of abandoned property and any other applicable Law, become the property of Buyer (and to the extent not in its possession shall be delivered to it), free and clear of all claims or interest 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 Company Stock represented by any Certificate for any Merger Consideration (or any dividends or distributions with respect thereto) paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

Section 2.09 Delivery of Merger Consideration.

(a) Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of its Certificate(s) accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal timely delivered to the Exchange Agent, a non-dissenting holder of Company Stock will be entitled to receive as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time the aggregate Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.05) in accordance with this Article 2 to be issued or paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s Certificates. The Exchange Agent and Buyer, as the case may be, shall not be obligated to deliver cash and/or shares of Buyer Common Stock to a holder of Company Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders the Certificates representing the shares of Company Common Stock for exchange as provided in this Article 2, or, an appropriate affidavit of loss and indemnity agreement and/or a bond in such amount as may be reasonably required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent.

(b) In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate for Company Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of Company, the Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.05) in accordance with this Article 2 shall be issued or paid in exchange therefor to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if the Certificate formerly representing such Company Common Stock shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment or issuance shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason

of the payment or issuance to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable, and the Person requesting payment for such Certificate shall have complied with the provisions of the Letter of Transmittal. In the event of a dispute with respect to ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock represented by any Certificate, Buyer and Exchange Agent shall be entitled to tender to the custody of any court of competent jurisdiction any Merger Consideration (and any cash in lieu of shares of Buyer Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.05) represented by such Certificate and file legal proceedings interpleading all parties to such dispute, and will thereafter be relieved with respect to any claims thereto.

(c) All shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and if ever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Buyer in respect of the Buyer Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Buyer Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until such Certificate (or affidavit of loss and/or a bond in such amount as may be required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent in lieu of such Certificate) is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article 2. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss and/or a bond in such amount as may be required in each case by Buyer or the Exchange Agent in lieu of such Certificate(s)), there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Buyer Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Buyer Common Stock and not paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Buyer Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(d) Buyer (through the Exchange Agent, if applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock or holder of Company Stock Awards such amounts as Buyer is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority and upon such remittance shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such holder of Company Common Stock or holder of Company Stock Awards in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Buyer or the Exchange Agent, as applicable.

Section 2.10 Anti-Dilution Provisions. In the event that before the Effective Time Buyer changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of, or provides for the exchange of, shares of Buyer Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, reclassification, exchange or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding Buyer Common Stock, the Merger Consideration will be appropriately and proportionately adjusted to provide the holders of Company Common Stock and Company Stock Awards the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement based on the shares of Buyer Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to such event; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, no such adjustment shall be made with regard to the Buyer Common Stock if (x) Buyer repurchases outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock, (y) Buyer issues additional shares of Buyer Common Stock and receives consideration for such shares in a bona fide third party transaction, or (z) Buyer issues employee or director stock options, restricted stock awards, grants or similar equity awards or Buyer issues Buyer Common Stock upon exercise or vesting of any such options, grants or awards.

(b) Except to the extent provided otherwise in Section 5.10, the Company Board shall at all times prior to and during the Company Meeting recommend approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of Company and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) and any other matters required to be approved by Company’s shareholders for consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Company Recommendation”) and the Proxy Statement-Prospectus shall include the Company Recommendation. In the event that there is present at such meeting, in Person or by proxy, sufficient favorable voting power to secure the Requisite Company Shareholder Approval, Company will not adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting unless the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of counsel that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Company shall keep Buyer updated with respect to the proxy solicitation results in connection with the Company Meeting as reasonably requested by Buyer.

(c) Except to the extent provided otherwise in Section 5.10, the Company shall adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting, if, as of the time for which such meeting is originally scheduled there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in Person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting, or if on the date of such meeting Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Requisite Company Shareholder Approval. Company shall only be required to adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting two times pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 5.04(c).

Section 5.05 Takeover Laws. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to exempt (or cause the continued exemption of) this Agreement, the Merger and the Bank Merger from the requirements of any applicable antitakeover statute or regulation and from any similar provisions under the Buyer Certificate, Buyer Bylaws and the organizational documents of Buyer Bank.

Section 5.06 Registration Statement; Proxy Statement-Prospectus; NASDAQ Listing.

(a) Buyer and Company agree to cooperate in the preparation of the Registration Statement to be filed by Buyer with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the issuance of Buyer Common Stock in the Merger (including the Proxy Statement-Prospectus and all related documents). Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer such financial statements and related analysis of the Company as may be required by Law in order to file the Registration Statement, and any other report required to be filed by Buyer with the SEC, in each case, in compliance with applicable Laws. Each of

Buyer and Company agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC within sixty (60) days from the date hereof, and to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. Buyer also agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary state securities Law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Company agrees to cooperate with Buyer and Buyer’s counsel and accountants in requesting and obtaining appropriate opinions, consents and letters from Company’s independent auditors in connection with the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement-Prospectus. After the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, Company, at its own expense, shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed the Proxy Statement-Prospectus to its shareholders.

(b) Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Proxy Statement-Prospectus and the Registration Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Each of Buyer and Company agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, 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 to make the statements therein not misleading and (ii) the Proxy Statement-Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to shareholders and at the time of the Company Meeting to consider and vote upon approval of this Agreement, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement was made, not misleading. Each of Buyer and Company further agrees that if it becomes aware that any information furnished by it would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement-Prospectus 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, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take appropriate steps to correct the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement-Prospectus. Buyer will advise Company, promptly after Buyer receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of Buyer Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or upon the receipt of any comments (whether written or oral) from the SEC or its staff. Buyer will provide Company and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement-Prospectus (and consider such comments in good faith) and, except to the extent such response is submitted under confidential cover, all responses to requests for additional information by and replies to comments of the SEC (and reasonable good faith consideration shall be given to any comments made by Company and its counsel in each instance) prior to filing such with, or sending such to, the SEC, and Buyer will provide Company and its counsel with a copy of all such filings made with the SEC. If at any time prior to the Company Meeting there shall occur any event that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement-Prospectus or the Registration Statement, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare and file such amendment or supplement with the SEC (if required under applicable Law) and cooperate with Company to mail such amendment or supplement to Company shareholders (if required under applicable Law).

(c) Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger to be approved for listing on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time.

Section 5.07 Regulatory Filings; Consents.

(a) Each of Buyer and Company and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts (i) to prepare all documentation (including the Proxy Statement-Prospectus), to effect all filings, to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation, the Regulatory Approvals and all other consents and approvals of a Governmental Authority required to consummate the Merger in the manner contemplated herein, (ii) to comply with the terms and conditions of such permits,

consents, approvals and authorizations and (iii) to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated as expeditiously as practicable; provided, however, that in no event shall Buyer be required to agree to any prohibition, limitation, or other requirement which would materially prohibit or materially limit the ownership or operation by Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or by Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, of all or any material portion of the business or assets of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Buyer or its Subsidiaries, or compel Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to dispose of all or any material portion of the business or assets of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, continue any portion of any Company Regulatory Agreement against Buyer after the Merger, or otherwise be reasonably likely to have a material and adverse effect on Buyer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole and giving effect to the Merger (measured on a scale relative to Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) (together, the “Burdensome Conditions”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as soon as practicable and in no event later than sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, Buyer and Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, each prepare and file any applications, notices and filings required in order to obtain the Regulatory Approvals and other Governmental Authority consents and approvals required to consummate the Merger. Subject to applicable Laws, (A) Buyer and Company will furnish each other and each other’s counsel with all information concerning themselves, their Subsidiaries, directors, trustees, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be necessary or advisable in connection with any application, or petition made by or on behalf of Buyer or Company or their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (B) each party hereto shall have the right to review and approve in advance all characterizations of the information relating to such party and any of its Subsidiaries that appear in any filing made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with any Governmental Authority, (C) Buyer and Company shall each furnish to the other for review a copy of each such filing made solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with any Governmental Authority prior to its filing and (D) Buyer and Company will notify the other promptly and shall promptly furnish the other with copies of any communication from any Governmental Authority received by it with respect to the regulatory applications filed solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and its response thereto); provided, that in no event shall Buyer or Buyer Bank be obligated to provide or otherwise disclose to Company confidential information regarding Buyer, Buyer Bank or any affiliates (except any pending merger transaction other than the Merger).

(b) Company will use commercially reasonable efforts, and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Company at Company’s request, to obtain all consents, approvals, authorizations, waivers or similar affirmations described on Company Disclosure Schedules 3.12(c) and 3.30(e); provided, that neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to make any payment to or grant any concessions to any third party in connection therewith. Each party will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, notify the other party promptly and shall promptly furnish the other party with copies of notices or other communications received by such party or any of its Subsidiaries of any communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person (or another Person) is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the response thereto from such party, its Subsidiaries or its representatives). Company will reasonably consult with Buyer and its representatives so as to permit Company and Buyer and their respective representatives to cooperate to take appropriate measures to obtain such consents and avoid or mitigate any adverse consequences that may result from the foregoing.

Section 5.08 Publicity. Buyer and Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld; provided, however, that Buyer may, without the prior consent of Company (but after such consultation, to the extent practicable in the circumstances), issue such press release or make such public statements as may upon the advice of counsel be required by Law or the rules and regulations of NASDAQ. It is understood that Buyer shall assume primary responsibility for the preparation of joint press releases relating to this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.09 Access; Current Information.

(a) For the purposes of verifying the representations and warranties of the other and preparing for the Merger and the other matters contemplated by this Agreement, upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws, each party agrees to afford the other party and its officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized

representatives such access during normal business hours at any time and from time to time throughout the period prior to the Effective Time to its and its Subsidiaries’ books, records (including, without limitation, Tax Returns and, subject to the consent of the independent auditors, work papers of independent auditors), information technology systems, properties and personnel and to such other information relating to them as a party may reasonably request and the other party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any appropriate notices to employees and/or customers in accordance with applicable Law and its privacy policy and, during such period, each party shall furnish to the other, upon reasonable request, all such other information concerning its business, properties and personnel and its Subsidiaries that is substantially similar in scope to the information provided to the other party in connection with its diligence review prior to the date of this Agreement.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after they become available, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each party will furnish to the other party copies of the board packages distributed to its board of directors or the board of directors of its subsidiary bank, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and minutes from the meetings thereof, copies of any internal management financial control reports showing actual financial performance against plan and previous period, and copies of any reports provided to its board of directors or any committee thereof relating to its financial performance and risk management.

(c) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, each of Company and Buyer will cause one or more of its designated representatives to confer on a regular basis with representatives of the other party and to report the general status of the ongoing operations of Company and its Subsidiaries and Buyer and its Subsidiaries, respectively. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees to provide to the other party, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, a copy of each report filed by such party or any of its Subsidiaries with a Governmental Authority reasonably promptly following the filing thereof.

(d) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, each party will promptly notify the other party in writing of any matter hereafter arising which, if existing, occurring or known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in its Disclosure Schedule to Article 3 or Article 4, as applicable, or which is necessary to correct any information in its Disclosure Schedule that has been rendered materially inaccurate thereby. Each such notice shall include, or be accompanied by, a proposed supplement or amendment to such Party’s Disclosure Schedule regarding such matter (a “Schedule Supplement”). Each such Schedule Supplement shall be deemed to be incorporated into and to supplement and amend Company Disclosure Schedule or Buyer Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the matter which is the subject of the Schedule Supplement constitutes or relates to something that could provide Buyer with a right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01(e) and Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the applicable cure period and (ii) the Expiration Date, then Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any right to terminate this Agreement on account of such matter.

(e) No investigation by a party or its representatives shall be deemed to modify or waive any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the other party or its subsidiary bank set forth in this Agreement, or the conditions to the respective obligations of Buyer and Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.09, Section 5.15 and Section 5.20 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of business of the other party or any of its Subsidiaries.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.09 to the contrary, no party shall be required to provide the other with any documents that disclose confidential discussions or information relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any other matter that a party or its subsidiary bank’s board of directors has been advised by counsel that such distribution of which to the other party may violate a confidentiality obligation or fiduciary duty or any Law or regulation, or may result in its waiver of attorney-client privilege. In the event any of the restrictions in this Section 5.09(f) shall apply, each party shall consent, waiver, decree and approve necessary to satisfy any confidentiality issues relating to documents prepared or held by third parties (including work papers), and the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate alternate disclosure arrangements, including adopting additional specific procedures to protect the confidentiality of sensitive material and to ensure compliance with applicable Laws.

Section 5.10 No Solicitation by Company; Superior Proposals.

(a) Subject to Section 5.10(b), the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the respective officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, consultants, affiliates and other agents (collectively, the “Company Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, induce or knowingly encourage, or take any action to facilitate the making of, any inquiry, offer or proposal which constitutes an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or furnish, or otherwise afford access, to any Person (other than Buyer) any information or data with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise in furtherance of an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) release any Person from, waive any provision of, or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which Company is a party in furtherance of an Acquisition Proposal; or (iv) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any Acquisition Proposal or any agreement, agreement in principle or letter of intent relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions by the Company or any Company Representative, whether or not such Company Representative is so authorized and whether or not such Company Representative is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause each of the Company Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions, negotiations, and communications with any Persons with respect to any existing or potential Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.10(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Shareholder Approval, Company may take any of the actions described in Section 5.10(a) if, but only if, (A) Company has received a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.10; (B) the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (1) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (2) the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and (C) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, Company receives from such Person a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to Company than those contained in the confidentiality agreement with Buyer (it being understood that nothing therein shall have the effect of a standstill provision). Company shall promptly provide to Buyer any non-public information regarding Company or its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person which was not previously provided to Buyer, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party.

(c) Company shall promptly (and in any event within 48 hours notify Buyer in writing if any proposals or offers are received by, any information is requested from, or any negotiations or discussions are sought to be initiated or continued with, Company or the Company Representatives, in each case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, and such notice shall indicate the name of the Person initiating such discussions or negotiations or making such proposal, offer or information request and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (and, in the case of written materials relating to such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussion, providing copies of such materials (including e-mails or other electronic communications) except to the extent that such materials constitute confidential information of the party making such offer or proposal under an effective confidentiality agreement or any such disclosure would jeopardize attorney-client privilege). Company agrees that it shall keep Buyer informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, information request, negotiations or discussions (including any amendments or modifications to such proposal, offer or request).

(d) Subject to Section 5.10(e), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, change, qualify, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withdraw, change, qualify, amend or modify, in a manner adverse in any respect to the interest of Buyer, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), or take any other action or make any other public statement inconsistent with, the Company Recommendation; (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) resolve to take, or publicly announce an intention to take, any of the foregoing actions (each of (i), (ii) or (iii) a “Company Subsequent Determination”); or (iv) enter into (or cause Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (A)

related to any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10(b)) or (B) requiring Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.10(d), prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board may make a Company Subsequent Determination after the fifth (5th) Business Day following Buyer’s receipt of a notice (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from Company advising Buyer that the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the failure to deliver such Notice of Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (it being understood that the initial determination under this clause will not be considered a Company Subsequent Determination), but only if: (i) during the five (5) Business Day period after receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal by Buyer (the “Notice Period”), Company and the Company Board shall have cooperated and negotiated in good faith with Buyer to make such adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable Company to proceed with the Company Recommendation without a Company Subsequent Determination; provided, however, that Buyer shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) at the end of the Notice Period, after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms, if any, as may have been proposed by Buyer since its receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company Board has again in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, made the determination that the failure to make a Company Subsequent Determination in such circumstances would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. In the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal, Company shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal to Buyer and again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.10(e), except that the Notice Period shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.10 shall prohibit Company or the Company Board from complying with Company’s obligations required under Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure relating to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a change in the Company Recommendation unless the Company Board reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such disclosure, in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, such disclosure will not be considered a Company Subsequent Determination.

Section 5.11 Indemnification.

(a) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, and in any event subject to the provisions of Section 5.11(b), Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the present and former directors and officers of Company and Company Bank (the “Indemnified Parties”), against all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, or liabilities incurred in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative arising out of actions or omissions of such Persons in the course of performing their duties for Company or Company Bank or any of their respective subsidiaries occurring at or before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each a “Claim”), to the fullest extent as such Persons have the right to be indemnified pursuant to the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Company in effect on the date of this Agreement and applicable Law and in connection with any such Claim promptly advance expenses from time to time as incurred, to the same extent as such Persons have the right to expense advancement pursuant to the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Company in effect on the date of this Agreement and applicable Law, provided, that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides a reasonable and customary undertaking to repay such advances, if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.11 shall promptly notify Buyer upon learning of any Claim, provided that, failure to so notify shall not affect the obligation of Buyer under this Section 5.11, unless, and only to the extent that, Buyer is materially prejudiced in the defense of such Claim as a consequence. In the event of any such Claim (whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time), (i) (A) Buyer shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Buyer shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses or other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, unless such Indemnified Party is advised in writing by counsel that

the defense of such Indemnified Party by Buyer would create an actual or potential conflict of interest (in which case, Buyer shall not be obligated to reimburse or indemnify any Indemnified Party for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties, in addition to one local counsel in the jurisdiction where defense of any Claim has been or is to be asserted), and (B) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, (ii) Buyer shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Buyer shall not settle any Claim without such Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iii) Buyer shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if such indemnification would be in violation of any applicable federal or state banking Laws or regulations, or in the event that a federal or state banking agency or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that indemnification of an Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Laws and regulations, whether or not related to banking Laws.

(c) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Buyer will purchase and provide director’s and officer’s liability insurance from a carrier assigned a claims-paying ability rating by A.M. Best Company, Inc. of “A (Excellent)” or higher (herein, “D&O Insurance”) that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of Company or its Subsidiaries (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from acts and omissions occurring before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated hereby), which insurance will contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties, as that coverage currently provided by Company, provided that, if Buyer is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 5.11, Buyer will provide as much comparable insurance as is reasonably available (subject to the limitations described below in this Section 5.11(c); and provided, further, that officers and directors of Company or its Subsidiaries may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to the carrier of the D&O Insurance for the purpose of obtaining such insurance. In no event shall Buyer be required to expend for such tail insurance a premium amount in excess of an amount equal to 150% of the annual premium paid by Company for D&O Insurance in effect as of the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum D&O Tail Premium”). If the aggregate cost of such tail insurance exceeds the Maximum D&O Tail Premium, Buyer shall obtain tail insurance coverage or a separate tail insurance policy with the greatest coverage available for an aggregate cost not exceeding the Maximum D&O Tail Premium or, in the case of a tail insurance policy, the aggregate Maximum D&O Tail Premium for the 6-year period). At the option of Company, prior to the Effective Time and in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, Company may purchase a tail policy for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance on the terms described in this Section 5.11(c) (including subject to the aggregate Maximum D&O Tail Premium, except if one or more directors elects to pay for any excess over such amount) and fully pay for such 6-year policy prior to the Effective Time, in which event Buyer’s obligations under this Section 5.11(c) shall be fully satisfied. If such prepaid tail policy has been obtained by Company prior to the Effective Time, Buyer will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the cancellation or modification of such policy.

(d) If, following the Effective Time, Buyer or any of its successors and assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its property and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer and its Subsidiaries shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.11.

(e) These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party. After the Effective Time, the obligations of Buyer under this Section 5.11 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party unless the affected Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification. If any Indemnified Party makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 5.11 that is denied by Buyer, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Party is entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expense, in whole or in part, then Buyer or the Surviving Entity shall pay such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with enforcing such claim against Buyer.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.11 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Section 5.12 Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) Subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, as of the Effective Time, Buyer shall assume and honor and shall cause the appropriate Subsidiaries of Buyer to assume and honor in accordance with their terms all Company Benefit Plans existing immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement (together with the other items) which have been disclosed in Company Disclosure Schedule 3.15(a).

(b) Buyer shall take all reasonable action so that employees of Company and its Subsidiaries who become employees of Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Continuing Employees”) shall be entitled to participate (i) in Buyer’s disability plans within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, and (ii) in each other Buyer Benefit Plan of general applicability to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of Buyer and its Subsidiaries effective no later than January 1, 2018 (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of Company and its Subsidiaries in the Buyer Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans and that any grants to any former employee of Company or its Subsidiaries under any equity compensation plan of Buyer shall be discretionary with Buyer). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Continuing Employees are not entitled to participate in any Buyer Benefit Plan, such employees shall continue to participate in the corresponding employee benefit plan, program or arrangement of Company and its Subsidiaries so as to ensure that there is not a lapse in participation or coverage (but in no event to provide duplicate participation or coverage), as applicable, prior to participation in such Buyer Benefit Plan.

(c) As of the Effective Date, each Continuing Employee shall be entitled to full credit for each year of service with Company or the Company Subsidiary for purposes of determining eligibility for participation and vesting, but not benefit accrual for periods of prior service, in Buyer’s, or as appropriate, in the Buyer Subsidiary’s, employee benefit plans, programs and policies; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. Buyer shall use the original date of hire by Company or a Company Subsidiary in making these determinations. As of the Effective Date, Buyer and Buyer Bank shall assume the current accrual for all Continuing Employees of all accrued but unused vacation time to the extent such amounts were accrued and payable in the Ordinary Course of Business and consistent with past practice; provided that in no event shall Buyer and Buyer Bank assume the accrual of any paid personal days (referred to as “Choice days” in Company’s employee handbook) for any Continuing Employee. Following the Effective Date, each Continuing Employee shall accrue vacation time and paid time off consistent with Buyer and Buyer Bank’s standard practices. In the event any Continuing Employee is terminated after the Effective Date, Buyer and Buyer Bank shall pay out all accrued vacation time and paid time off, if any, of such Continuing Employee in accordance with the terms of Buyer and Buyer Bank’s standard practices.

(d) The medical, dental, disability and life insurance plans, programs or policies, if any, that become applicable to Continuing Employees shall not contain any exclusion or limitation with respect to any pre-existing condition of any such employees or their dependents to the extent that such conditions are covered under the applicable medical, dental, disability and life insurance plans, programs or policies of Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary. Buyer shall honor any co-payment, out-of-pocket expenses and deductibles incurred by the Continuing Employees and their beneficiaries under a Company health plan during the portion of the plan year prior to participation in a Buyer plan for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under such Buyer health plans, upon substantiation in a form satisfactory to Buyer that such co-payment and/or deductible has been satisfied. Further, Buyer shall cause each plan to waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement which would otherwise be applicable to such employee on or after the Effective Time, unless such employee had not yet satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous Company Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time.

(e) As of the Effective Time, Buyer shall honor the terms of all employment, consulting and change in control severance agreements, and all deferred compensation agreements set forth in Company Disclosure Schedule 3.16(a), subject to regulatory limitations, and shall assume all obligations of Company or Company Bank thereunder.

Each Phase I ESA shall be delivered in counterparts to Buyer and the Company. The Environmental Consultant will include customary language allowing both Buyer and Company to rely upon its findings and conclusions. The Environmental Consultant will provide a draft of any Phase I ESA to Company and Buyer for review and comment prior to the finalization of such report.

(b) Phase II Assessments. In the event any Phase I ESA (including a Phase I ESA that Company or any of its Subsidiaries caused to be performed within one (1) year prior to the date of this Agreement) discloses such property may be impacted or have its use restricted by any Recognized Environmental Condition or Historical Recognized Environmental Condition (as each term is defined by ASTM E1527-13) for which Buyer or its Subsidiaries would be liable and that in the good faith reasonable belief of Buyer would result in a material liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time and as such warrants further review or investigation, Buyer shall reasonably promptly give notice of the same (a “Phase I Notice”) to Company no later than two (2) Business Days following Buyer’s receipt of the relevant Phase I ESA. Company may then, in its sole and absolute discretion and without any obligation whatsoever to do so, within an additional twenty (20) day period, retain the Environmental Consultant to conduct a Phase II environmental site assessment in accordance with ASTM Standard E1903-11 (“Phase II ESA”) of the relevant property or facility; provided, however, that such Phase II ESA shall be

completed, and a written report of the Phase II ESA prepared, no later than sixty (60) days after Company receives from Buyer the Phase I Notice for the relevant property; and provided further, that with respect to any Company Leased Property, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the relevant property owner’s consent for such Phase II ESA. Buyer acknowledges and understands that such consent may not be able to be obtained. The scope of the Phase II ESA shall be mutually determined by Buyer and Company in their reasonable discretion after consultation with the other party, and all reasonable costs and expenses associated with such Phase II ESA testing and report shall be borne by Buyer. Buyer shall provide copies of the draft and final Phase II ESA reports, if any, to Buyer promptly following the receipt of any such report by Company.

(c) Remediation Estimates. In the event any Phase II ESA confirms the presence of any environmental contamination, including, without limitation, a release from an abandoned underground storage tank or the presence of other Hazardous Substances, in each case in concentrations above applicable standards under applicable Environmental Laws, or if the Company chooses to forego any Phase II ESA as reasonably requested by Buyer pursuant to Section 5.17(b), Buyer may elect to require Company to obtain, prior to the Closing Date and as soon as reasonably practical but in no event more than sixty (60) days after Buyer receives the relevant Phase I ESA or Phase II ESA, and at Company’s sole cost and expense, from the Environmental Consultant or another nationally recognized contractor mutually acceptable to the parties, as appropriate, a written good faith estimate of the minimum cost and expense necessary to further investigate, remediate, cleanup, xxxxx, restore and otherwise address such Recognized Environmental Condition, Historical Recognized Environmental Condition, or environmental contamination to the extent required by and in accordance with Environmental Laws and, to the extent required, to the satisfaction of any relevant Governmental Authority, assuming the continued commercial or industrial use of the relevant property and employing risk-based remedial standards and institutional controls where applicable (a “Remediation Estimate”). Company shall provide to Buyer any Remediation Estimate requested within five (5) business days of Company’s receipt thereof. Company shall, upon Buyer’s reasonable request, cause all Remediation Estimates to be updated through the Closing Date.

(d) Threshold Termination. Should the sum of all Remediation Estimates (to the extent such estimates will or are reasonably expected to be incurred by Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and taking into account any tax credits, deductions or benefits or insurance coverage, in each case, that the parties agree is reasonably likely to be available to Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the incurrence of such costs) in the aggregate exceed $2,500,000 (the “Environmental Limit”), Buyer may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01(j) of this Agreement.

(f) Prior Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all matters that have been previously disclosed by Company to Buyer shall be disregarded for purposes of, and shall not constitute any type of exception to, this Section 5.17 and shall have no effect on the determination of any Remediation Estimate.

Section 5.18 Certain Litigation. Company shall promptly advise Buyer orally and in writing of any actual or threatened litigation against Company and/or the members of the Company Board related to this Agreement or the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

FORM OF JCB VOTING AGREEMENT

VOTING AGREEMENT

This VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 10, 2016, is made and entered into between the undersigned shareholder (“Shareholder”) of Jefferson County Bancshares, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the “Company”), and Enterprise Financial Services Corp, a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”).

WHEREAS, concurrently with or following the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Buyer, Eagle Bank and Trust Company of Missouri, a Missouri state-charted bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Company (“Company Bank”), and Enterprise Bank & Trust, a Missouri state-charted bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Buyer Bank”), have entered, or will enter, into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for, among other things, the merger (the “Merger”) of Company into Buyer;

WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Buyer has required that Shareholder execute and deliver this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Buyer and as additional consideration to Buyer to enter into the Merger Agreement, Shareholder is willing to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) beneficially owned by Shareholder and set forth below Shareholder’s signature on the signature page hereto (the “Original Shares” and, together with any additional shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the “Shares”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

2. Representations of Shareholder. Shareholder represents and warrants to Buyer that:

(a) (i) Shareholder owns beneficially (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the “Exchange Act”) all of the Original Shares free and clear of all Liens, and (ii) except pursuant hereto, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which Shareholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any of the Original Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Original Shares.

(b) Shareholder does not beneficially own any shares of Company Common Stock other than (i) the Original Shares and (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Company Common Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of Company Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (collectively, “Options”).

(c) Shareholder has full legal capacity (and, if applicable, corporate power and authority) to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully Shareholder’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Shareholder, enforceable against Shareholder in accordance with its terms, except in each case as enforcement may be limited general principles of equity, whether applied in a court of law or court of equity, and by bankruptcy, insolvency and similar Laws affecting creditor’s rights and remedies generally.

(d) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder, the consummation by Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by Shareholder with any of the provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice of lapse of time or both) under any provision of, any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument or Law applicable to Shareholder or to Shareholder’s property or assets.

(e) No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person on the part of Shareholder is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement. No consent of Shareholder’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other Laws in order for Shareholder to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

3. Agreement to Vote Shares. Except as expressly permitted under Section 5.10 of the Merger Agreement, Shareholder agrees during the term of this Agreement to vote the Shares, and to cause any holder of record of Shares to vote (or execute a written consent or consents if shareholders of the Company are requested to vote their shares through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of Shareholders of the Company):

(a) in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and any other matter necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by Merger Agreement, at every meeting (or in connection with any action by written consent) of the shareholders of the Company at which such matters are considered, at every adjournment or postponement thereof or in any other circumstances upon which their vote or other approval is sought; and

(b) against (1) any Superior Proposal or any action which is a component of any Superior Proposal, (2) any Acquisition Proposal, (3) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or of Shareholder under this Agreement, (4) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment of the Company’s or Company Bank’s conditions under the Merger Agreement and (5) change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of the Company (including any amendments to the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company).

4. Irrevocable Proxy. Shareholder hereby appoints Buyer and any designee of Buyer, and each of them individually, its proxies and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Shares in accordance with Section 3. This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of Shareholder under this Agreement. Shareholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. This proxy and power of attorney granted by Shareholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in Law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by Shareholder with respect to the Shares. The power of attorney granted by Shareholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of Shareholder. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

5. No Solicitation of Transactions. Shareholder, unless Shareholder is serving as a director of the Company and solely in Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of the Company, agrees that Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate or take any other action to facilitate or knowingly encourage any Superior Proposal, (ii) enter into, maintain, continue or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person or entity in furtherance of, or furnish to any Person any information, with respect to any Superior Proposal or (iii) agree or authorize any Person to do any of the foregoing.

6. No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement. Shareholder agrees that Shareholder will not, and will not permit any entity under Shareholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Shares or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than agreements entered into with Buyer.

7. Transfer and Encumbrance. Shareholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber (“Transfer”) any of the Shares or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Shares or Shareholder’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 6 shall be null and void. This Section 6 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares by Shareholder to any member of Shareholder’s immediate family, or to a trust for the benefit

of Shareholder or any member of Shareholder’s immediate family, or upon the death of Shareholder; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

8. Additional Shares. Shareholder agrees that all shares of Company Common Stock that Shareholder purchases, acquires the right to vote or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of after the execution of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any Company Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of any Option, shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.

9. Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights. Shareholder hereby waives, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that Shareholder may have by virtue of ownership of the Shares.

10. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time; (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; and (iii) the date of any mutual modification, waiver or amendment of the Merger Agreement that adversely affects the consideration payable to Shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement as in effect as of the date hereof.

11. No Agreement as Director or Officer. Shareholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Shareholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (if Shareholder holds such office), and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Shareholder in Shareholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict Shareholder from exercising Shareholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director to the Company or its shareholders.

12. No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Buyer any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any of the Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to Shareholder, and Buyer shall not have any authority to direct Shareholder in the voting of the Shares, except as otherwise set forth herein.

13. Specific Performance. Shareholder acknowledges that (i) it may be impossible to measure in money the damage to Buyer if Shareholder fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement, (ii) every such obligation is material and (iii) in the event of any such failure, Buyer will not have an adequate remedy at law or in damages. Accordingly, Shareholder agrees that injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy, in addition to any remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the granting of any such remedy relief on the basis that Buyer has an adequate remedy at law. Shareholder agrees that Shareholder will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.

14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by either party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made as of October 10, 2016, by and between Enterprise Bank & Trust (the “Company”) and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (“Executive”).

R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, the Enterprise Financial Services Corp (“EFSC”), a Delaware Corporation, and the Company, a Missouri state-chartered bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of EFSC, have entered into negotiations with Jefferson County Bancshares, a Missouri Corporation (“Jefferson”), and Eagle Bank and Trust, a Missouri state-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Jefferson (“Eagle Bank”), to execute an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, Executive is currently employed by Eagle Bank and entered into a Change of Control Agreement with Eagle Bank dated October 22, 2003 (the “CIC Agreement”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, the Company desires to secure the employment of Executive in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, contingent on the closing of the Transaction; and

WHEREAS, Executive desires to be employed by the Company, and the Company desires to employ Executive, on the terms, covenants and conditions hereafter set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in consideration for the valuable consideration contained in this Agreement, the Company and Executive intend for this Agreement to replace and supersede the CIC Agreement in all respects;

WHEREAS, the CIC Agreement shall automatically terminate and become null and void upon the Effective Date of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for the reasons set forth above, and in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements herein set forth, the Company and Executive agree as follows:

1. Employment and Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5 below, Executive shall be employed by the Company for a period commencing as of the closing of the Transaction (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Term”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Term shall thereafter be automatically extended for additional one-year periods unless, at least ninety (90) days prior to expiration of the Term, either (a) the Company gives notice to Executive not to extend the Term or (b) Executive gives notice to the Company not to extend the Term.

2. Position, Duties and Responsibilities; Location.

2.1 Position and Duties. Executive shall be employed as Executive Vice President and Chairman of the St. Louis Region of the Company. Executive shall have the duties, powers and authority as are commensurate with his position, including such other duties and responsibilities as are reasonably delegated to him from time to time by the President of the Company, to whom Executive will report.

2.2 Exclusive Services and Efforts. Executive agrees to devote his efforts, energies, and skill to the discharge of the duties and responsibilities attributable to his position and, except as set forth herein, agrees to devote substantially all of his professional time and attention exclusively to the business and affairs of the Company; provided, that nothing herein shall preclude Executive from accepting appointment to or continuing to serve on any other board of directors or trustees of any charitable organization; further provided, that such activities do not conflict with the obligations of Executive under the terms of any of Executive’s restrictive covenants with the Company or an affiliate, or materially interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder.

3. Compensation.

3.1 Base Salary. During the Term, the Company hereby agrees to pay to Executive an annualized base salary of two hundred seventy five thousand dollars ($275,000) (the “Salary”), subject to all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes and other required or elected withholdings and deductions, payable in

equal installments on the Company’s regularly-scheduled paydays as it is earned. Executive’s Salary will be reviewed at least annually by the Company and, when appropriate as determined in the Company’s discretion, may be increased but not decreased without written consent of Executive (in which case such adjusted amount shall be the “Salary” hereunder).

3.2 Annual Bonus.

(a) For each calendar year during the Term (subject to proration in accordance with Section 3.2(b)), Executive shall be entitled to an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) of $100,000. Executive shall be entitled to the full Annual Bonus of $100,000 following calendar year 2017, so long as the Transaction closes before June 30, 2017. If the Transaction closes after June 30, 2017 but prior to December 31, 2017, Executive shall be entitled to an Annual Bonus for calendar year 2017 in the amount of $50,000. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.2, Executive shall not be eligible to receive any Annual Bonus unless Executive is employed with the Company on the date such Annual Bonus is paid. Any Annual Bonus will be paid not later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year to which the Annual Bonus relates.

(b) If Executive’s employment terminates before the end of any applicable calendar year pursuant to Section 5.2 below, upon the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 5.7, Executive shall be entitled to a portion of the Annual Bonus determined by multiplying the Annual Bonus by a fraction equal to the number of days of Executive’s employment during such applicable period divided by the total number of days in the calendar year (the “Pro-Rated Annual Bonus”). Payment of any bonus under this Section 3.2(b) shall be made in accordance with Section 5.7 below.

3.3 Retention Bonus. The Company shall pay Executive a retention bonus in the total amount of $400,000 (the “Retention Bonus”). Payments of the Retention Bonus shall be made as follows: (a) payment of $75,000 on the next regularly scheduled payroll date following the first year anniversary of the Effective Date; (b) payment of $125,000 on the next regularly scheduled payroll date following the second year anniversary of the Effective Date; and (c) payment of $200,000 on the next regularly scheduled payroll date following the third year anniversary of the Effective Date, regardless of whether Executive or the Company has provided notice not to extend the Term in accordance with Section 1 above. Provided, however, if Executive terminates his employment by resignation or Executive is terminated by the Company for “Cause” or Executive’s employment ends due to Disability prior to any such anniversary date of the Effective Date, no such remaining Retention Bonus amount(s) shall be payable to Executive following any such resignation by Executive or termination of Executive’s employment for Cause by the Company or end of Executive’s employment due to Disability. In the event Executive’s employment ends due to Death, all remaining amounts payable as the Retention Bonus shall be paid immediately to Executive or his estate, as applicable.

4. Employee Benefits.

During the Term, Executive shall be entitled to participate in other regular employee benefit plans generally established by the Company for its full-time employees, including without limitations any health, life insurance, disability insurance, and retirement, such participation to be as provided in said employee benefit plans in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof as in effect from time to time and subject to any applicable waiting period.

4.3 Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable business and travel expenses incurred in the performance of his job duties and the promotion of the Company’s business, promptly upon presentation of appropriate supporting documentation and otherwise in accordance with the expense reimbursement policy of the Company. The Company shall provide Executive with a Company credit card which Executive may use for such reasonable business and travel expenses subject to the expense reimbursement policy of the Company.

4.4 Automobile. At any time within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, Executive shall be entitled to purchase the automobile used by Executive prior to the Effective Date and Transaction, at a fair market or book

4.5 Missouri Athletic Club Membership. The Company shall provide Executive with a monthly club allowance equal to the amount of monthly dues associated with Executive’s membership in the Missouri Athletic Club, promptly upon presentation of appropriate supporting documentation up to a maximum amount of $600 per month, paid in regular installments in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices, less regular withholding and deductions.

6. Section 280G.

6.1 If any payment or benefit (including payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement) that Executive would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“Transaction Payment”) would (a) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code; and (b) the net after-tax benefit that Executive would receive by reducing the Transaction Payments to three times the “base amount,” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, (the “Parachute Threshold”) is greater than the net after-tax benefit Executive would receive if the full amount of the Transaction Payments were paid to Executive, then the Transaction Payments payable to Executive shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the Transaction Payments due to Executive do not exceed the amount of the Parachute Threshold, reducing first any Transaction Payments under Section 5.5(a) hereof.

6.2 Unless Executive and the Company otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this section shall be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. The Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Accountants shall provide detailed supporting calculations to the Company and Executive as requested by the Company or Executive at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (including any interest, penalties or additions to tax relating thereto) is required to be paid by Executive or withheld by the Company. Executive and the Company shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this section. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this section as well as any costs incurred by Executive with the Accountants for tax planning under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.

7. Tax Matters.

7.1 The Company shall withhold all applicable federal, state and local taxes, social security and workers’ compensation contributions and other amounts as may be required by law with respect to compensation payable to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.

7.2 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payment of the benefits set forth herein either shall either be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) or shall comply with the requirements of such provision. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, any payments or arrangements due upon a termination of Executive’s employment under any arrangement that constitutes a “nonqualified deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and which do not otherwise qualify under the exemptions under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1 (including without limitation, the short-term deferral exemption or the permitted payments under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)), shall be delayed and paid or provided on the earlier of (a) the date which is six (6) months after

Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Section 409A and the regulations and other published guidance thereunder) for any reason other than death; and (b) the date of Executive’s death.

7.3 After any Termination Date, Executive shall have no duties or responsibilities that are inconsistent with having a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A as of the Termination Date and, notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, distributions upon termination of employment of nonqualified deferred compensation may only be made upon a “separation from service” as determined under Section 409A and such date shall be the Termination Date for purposes of this Agreement. Each payment under this Agreement or otherwise shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement which constitutes a “nonqualified deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and to the extent an amount is payable within a time period, the time during which such amount is paid shall be in the discretion of the Company.

7.4 Any amounts otherwise payable to Executive following a termination of employment that are not so paid by reason of this Section 7 shall be paid as soon as practicable following, and in any event within thirty (30) days following, the date that is six (6) months after Executive’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of Executive’s death) together with interest on the delayed payment at the Company’s cost of borrowing. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A.

7.5 To the extent that any reimbursements pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise are taxable to Executive, any reimbursement payment due to Executive pursuant to such Section shall be paid to Executive on or before the last day of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the related expense was incurred. The reimbursements pursuant to Section 4 or otherwise are not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit and the amount of such reimbursements that Executive receives in one taxable year shall not affect the amount of such reimbursements that Executive receives in any other taxable year.

8. Restrictive Covenants. Executive agrees to be bound by the following:

8.1 Confidentiality. Executive agrees to hold in strict confidence all non-public information concerning any matters affecting or relating to the business of the Company and its Affiliates, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing non-public information concerning its manner of operation, business or other plans data bases, marketing programs, protocols, processes, computer programs, client lists, marketing information and analyses, operating policies or manuals or other data. Executive agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, use any such information for the benefit of any Person other than the Company or disclose or communicate any of such information in any manner whatsoever other than to the directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Company who need to know such information. Upon the Company’s request, Executive shall return all information furnished to him related to the business of the Company and its Affiliates without retaining any copies in electronic or other form. The above limitations on use and disclosure shall not apply to information which Executive can demonstrate: (a) was known to executive before receipt thereof from the Company or its Affiliates; (b) is learned by Executive from a third party entitled to disclose it; (c) becomes known publicly other than through Executive; (d) is disclosed by Executive upon authority from the EFSC Board or any Committee of the EFSC Board; (e) is disclosed pursuant to any legal requirement; or (f) is disclosed pursuant to any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is a party. The parties hereto stipulate that all such information is material and confidential and gravely affects the effective and successful conduct of the business of the Company and the Company’s goodwill, and that any breach of the terms of this Section 8.1 shall survive and remain in effect following any termination of this Agreement.

8.2 Use of Proprietary Information. Executive recognizes that the Company possesses a proprietary interest in all of the information described in Section 8.1 and has the exclusive right and privilege to use, protect by copyright, patent or trademark, manufacture or otherwise exploit the processes, ideas and concepts described therein to the exclusion of Executive, except as otherwise agreed between the Company and Executive in writing. Executive expressly agrees that any products, inventions, discoveries or improvements made by Executive, his agents or affiliates, during the term of this Agreement, based on or arising out of the information described in Section 8 shall be the property of and insure to the exclusive benefit of the Company. Executive further agrees that

any and all products, inventions, discoveries or improvements developed by Executive (whether or not able to be protected by copyright, patent or trademark) in the scope of his employment, or involving the use of the Company’s or its Affiliate’s time, materials or other resources, shall be promptly disclosed to the Company and shall become the exclusive property of the Company.

8.3 Non-Competition. Executive agrees that, during the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months following any termination of Executive’s employment (the “Restricted Period”), and subject to the Company’s compliance with all payment obligations set forth in this Agreement, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, be connected with as an officer, employee, partner, consultant or otherwise, or otherwise engage or participate in (except as an employee of the Company or its Affiliates) any Person engaged in the operation ownership or management of a bank, trust company, wealth management or financial services business within the Metropolitan Statistical Areas of St. Louis, Kansas City or any other city in which the Company or any of its Affiliates has an office at the time of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ownership by Executive of less than 1% of any class of the outstanding capital stock of any corporation conducting such a competitive business which is regularly traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market shall not be a violation of the foregoing covenant.

8.4 Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the period of actual employment and during the Restricted Period, and subject to the Company’s compliance with all payment obligations set forth in this Agreement, Executive shall not, except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, entice or induce, or attempt to entice or induce, any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to leave such employ, or employ any such person in any business in competition with the Company. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that the provisions set forth in this Section 8.4 constitute a reasonable restriction on his ability to compete with the Company.

8.5 Non-Solicitation of Protected Customers.

(a) As used herein, “Protected Customer” means (i) any Person or its Affiliate for whom the Company or any of its Affiliates has provided wealth management, investment, banking, trust, insurance or other financial services during a period of twenty-four (24) months prior to the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates or (ii) any Person or its Affiliate whom the Company or any of its Affiliates had made a proposal to provide wealth management, investment, banking, trust, insurance or other financial services at any time within six (6) months preceding the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates.

(b) During the Restricted Period, and subject to the Company’s compliance with all payment obligations set forth in this Agreement, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether alone or in combination with any other Person, or as an officer, director, shareholder, member, manager, employee, agent, independent contractor, consultant, advisor, joint-venturer, partner or otherwise, and whether or not for pecuniary benefit:

(i) solicit, take away, attempt to take away, divert, or attempt to divert any Protected Customer from the Company or its Affiliates; or

(ii) induce, attempt to induce or aid any Person in inducing any Protected Customer to cease doing business with the Company or its Affiliates.

(c) During the Restricted Period, and subject to the Company’s compliance with all payment obligations set forth in this Agreement, Executive shall not be employed by or act as a consultant for any Person which directly, or through any of its Affiliates, solicits, takes away, attempts to take away, diverts, or attempts to divert any Protected Customer from the Company or any of its Affiliates. Before Executive becomes employed by or becomes a consultant for a Person during a Restricted Period, Executive shall inform such Person of the provisions of this Section 8.5.

8.6 Saving Provision. The parties hereto agree that, in the event a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the geographic or durational elements of this covenant are unenforceable, such determination shall not render the entire covenant unenforceable. Rather, the excessive aspects of the covenant shall be reduced to the threshold which is enforceable, and the remaining aspects shall not be affected thereby.

8.7 Equitable Relief. Executive acknowledges that the extent of damages to the Company from a breach under this Section 8 would not be readily quantifiable or ascertainable, that monetary damages would be inadequate to make the Company whole in case of such a breach, and that there is not and would not be adequate remedy at law for such a breach. Therefore, Executive specifically agrees that the Company is entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a breach of this Section 8.

9. Notices. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice, consent, demand or other communication to be given under or in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given when delivered personally, when transmitted by facsimile transmission, one (1) day after being deposited with Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service or three (3) days after being mailed by first class mail, charges or postage prepaid, properly addressed, if to the Company, at its principal office, and, if to Executive, at his address set forth following his signature below. Either party may change such address from time to time by notice to the other.

10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, exclusive of any choice of law rules.

11. Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified or amended or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Executive and a duly-authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive). By an instrument in writing similarly executed, either party may waive compliance by the other party with any provision of this Agreement that such other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform; provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity. To be effective, any written waiver must specifically refer to the condition(s) or provision(s) of this Agreement being waived.

12. Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistency between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any Company written policy, the provisions of this Agreement shall control, unless Executive and the Company otherwise agree in a writing that expressly refers to the provision of this Agreement that is being waived.

Executive’s consent shall not be required for any such transaction.

The Company represents and warrants that it is fully authorized, by any person or body whose authorization is required, to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations under it.

15. Headings. The headings of the Sections and sub-sections contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

16. Survivorship. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the respective rights and obligations of the parties shall survive any termination of Executive’s employment.

17. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law but the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, including that provision or portion of any provision, in any other jurisdiction.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered by facsimile or PDF (email) shall be effective for all purposes.

Exhibit A

FORM OF GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS

THIS GENERAL RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS (this “General Release”), dated as of [_______], is made by and between [________] (the “Executive”) and Enterprise Bank & Trust (together with its successors and assigns, the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to that certain Employment Agreement, dated as of [ ] (the “Employment Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Executive’s employment with the Company has been terminated and Executive is entitled to receive severance and other benefits, as set forth in Section 5 of the Employment Agreement subject to the execution of this General Release;

WHEREAS, in consideration for Executive’s signing of this General Release, the Company will provide Executive with such severance and benefits pursuant to the Employment Agreement; and

WHEREAS, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the parties hereto intend that this General Release shall effect a full satisfaction and release of the obligations described herein owed to Executive by the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1. Executive, for himself, Executive’s spouse, heirs, administrators, children, representatives, executors, successors, assigns, and all other individuals and entities claiming through Executive, if any (collectively, the “Executive Releasers”), does hereby release, waive, and forever discharge the Company and its affiliates and each of its and their respective agents, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, related organizations, employees, officers, directors, attorneys, successors, and assigns in their capacities as such (collectively, the “Employer Releasees”) from, and does fully waive any obligations of Employer Releasees to Executive Releasers for, any and all liability, actions, charges, causes of action, demands, damages, or claims for relief, remuneration, sums of money, accounts or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) of any kind whatsoever, whether known or unknown or contingent or absolute, which heretofore has been or which hereafter may be suffered or sustained, directly or indirectly, by Executive Releasers in consequence of, arising out of, or in any way relating to: (a) Executive’s employment with the Company; (b) the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company; (c) the Employment Agreement; or (d) any events occurring on or prior to the date of this General Release. The foregoing release and discharge, waiver and covenant not to xxx includes, but is not limited to, all waivable claims and any obligations or causes of action arising from such claims, under common law including wrongful or retaliatory discharge, breach of contract (including but not limited to any claims under the Employment Agreement other than claims for unpaid severance benefits, bonus or Salary earned thereunder) and any action arising in tort including libel, slander, defamation or intentional infliction of emotional distress, and claims under any federal, state or local statute including the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and 1871 (42 U.S.C. § 1981), the National Labor Relations Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, or the discrimination or employment laws of any state or municipality, and/or any claims under any express or implied contract which Executive Releasers may claim existed with Employer Releasees. This also includes a release of any claims for wrongful discharge and all claims for alleged physical or personal injury, emotional distress relating to or arising out of Executive’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or the termination of that employment; and any claims under the WARN Act or any similar law, which requires, among other things, that advance notice be given of certain work force reductions. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 1 above to the contrary, nothing contained in herein shall constitute a release by any Executive Releaser of any of his, her or its rights or remedies available to him, her or it, at law or in equity, related to, on account of, in connection with or in any way pertaining to the enforcement of: (i) any rights to the receipt of employee benefits which vested on or prior to the date of this General Release; (ii) the right to receive severance and other benefits under the Employment Agreement; (iii) any equity rights; or (iv) this General Release or any of its terms or conditions.

2. Excluded from this General Release and waiver are any claims which cannot be waived by applicable law, including but not limited to the right to participate in an investigation conducted by certain government agencies. Executive does, however, waive Executive’s right to any monetary recovery should any government agency (such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) pursue any claims on Executive’s behalf. Executive represents and warrants that Executive has not filed any complaint, charge, or lawsuit against the Employer Releasees with any government agency or any court.

3. Executive agrees never to seek personal recovery from any Employer Releasee in any forum for any claim covered by the above waiver and release language, except that Executive may bring a claim under the ADEA to challenge this General Release. If Executive violates this General Release by suing an Employer Releasee (excluding any claim by Executive under the ADEA or as otherwise set forth in Section 1 hereof), then Executive shall be liable to the Employer Releasee so sued for such Employer Releasee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation costs incurred in defending against such a suit. Nothing in this General Release is intended to reflect any party’s belief that Executive’s waiver of claims under ADEA is invalid or unenforceable, it being the intent of the parties that such claims are waived.

4. Executive agrees that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Employer Releasees of any improper or unlawful conduct.

5. Executive acknowledges and recites that he has:

(a) executed this General Release knowingly and voluntarily;

(b) had a reasonable opportunity to consider this General Release;

(c) read and understands this General Release in its entirety;

(d) been advised and directed orally and in writing (and this subparagraph (d) constitutes such written direction) to seek legal counsel and any other advice Executive wishes with respect to the terms of this General Release before executing it; and

(e) relied solely on Executive’s own judgment, belief and knowledge, and such advice as Executive may have received from Executive’s legal counsel.

6. Section 12 of the Employment Agreement, which shall survive the expiration of the Employment Agreement for this purpose, shall apply to any dispute with regard to this release.

7. Executive acknowledges and agrees that (a) his execution of this General Release has not been forced by any employee or agent of the Company, and Executive has had an opportunity to negotiate the terms of this General Release; and (b) he has been offered twenty-one (21) calendar days after receipt of this General Release to consider its terms before executing it. Executive shall have seven (7) calendar days from the date he executes this General Release to revoke his or her waiver of any ADEA claims by providing written notice of the revocation to the Company, as provided in Section 10 of the Employment Agreement.

8. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this General Release have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Employment Agreement.

9. This General Release may be executed by the parties in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Each counterpart may be delivered by facsimile transmission or e-mail (as a .pdf, .tif or similar un-editable attachment), which transmission shall be deemed delivery of an originally executed counterpart hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this General Release as of the day and year first above written.
