3.1.1. BMBC Shares. Each share of BMBC Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger.

3.1.2. Canceled FKF Shares. All shares of FKF Common Stock held in the treasury of FKF (“Treasury Stock”), all unallocated shares of FKF Common Stock held by the FKF RRP and each share of FKF Common Stock owned by BMBC immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in connection with debts previously contracted) shall, at the Effective Time, cease to exist, and the certificates for such shares shall be canceled as promptly as practicable thereafter, and no payment or distribution shall be made in consideration therefor.

3.1.3. Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Article III, each share of FKF Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Treasury Stock and unallocated shares of FKF Common Stock held by the FKF RRP) shall become and be converted into, as provided in and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, subject to adjustment in accordance with Sections 3.1.5 and 3.1.6 hereof.

3.1.4. Rights of FKF Shares Post-Effective Time. After the Effective Time, shares of FKF Common Stock shall be no longer outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter by operation of this section represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect thereto or any dividends or distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that were declared or made by FKF on such shares of FKF Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the Effective Time and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

3.1.5. Stock Splits, Etc. In the event BMBC changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of, or provides for the exchange of, shares of BMBC Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding BMBC Common Stock and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, each of the Exchange Ratio, Option Exchange Ratio and Per Share Cash Consideration shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted; provided that no such adjustment shall be made with regard to BMBC Common Stock if BMBC issues additional shares of BMBC Common Stock and receives fair market value consideration for such shares.

3.1.6. Adjustment to Per Share Merger Consideration. If the aggregate amount of FKF Delinquencies as of the month end immediately prior to the Closing Date is $10.5 million

 

- 12 -

3.2. Procedures for Exchange of FKF Common Stock.

3.2.1. Deposit of Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, BMBC shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (a) certificates representing the number of shares of BMBC Common Stock sufficient to deliver, and BMBC shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely deliver, the aggregate Per Share Stock Consideration, and (b) immediately available funds equal to the aggregate Per Share Cash Consideration (together with, to the extent then determinable, any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.2.6) (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”) and BMBC shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay the Merger Consideration, and such cash in lieu of fractional shares, in accordance with this Agreement.

3.2.2. Exchange of Certificates. BMBC shall cause the Exchange Agent, within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, to mail to each holder of a Certificate or Certificates, a letter of transmittal for return to the Exchange Agent and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates for the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, into which the FKF Common Stock represented by such Certificates shall have been converted as a result of the Merger. The letter of transmittal shall be subject to the approval of FKF (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a certificate representing the aggregate amount of Per Share Stock Consideration to which such former holder of FKF Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof and (ii) a check representing the aggregate amount of Per Share Cash Consideration and cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of BMBC Common Stock (each rounded to the nearest whole cent) to which such former holder of FKF Common Stock shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable in lieu of fractional shares.

3.2.3. Rights of Certificate Holders after the Effective Time. The holder of a Certificate that prior to the Merger represented issued and outstanding FKF Common Stock shall have no rights, after the Effective Time, with respect to such FKF Common Stock except to surrender the Certificate in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration as provided in this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions with respect to BMBC Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of BMBC Common Stock represented thereby, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Section 3.2. Subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, following surrender of any such Certificate in accordance with this Section 3.2, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other

 

- 13 -


distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the whole shares of BMBC Common Stock represented by such Certificate and not paid and/or (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to shares of BMBC Common Stock represented by such Certificate with a record date after the Effective Time (but before such surrender date) and with a payment date subsequent to the issuance of the BMBC Common Stock issuable with respect to such Certificate.

3.2.4. Surrender by Persons Other than Record Holders. In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate representing FKF Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of FKF, the proper amount of cash and/or shares of BMBC Common Stock shall be paid or issued 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 FKF 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 satisfaction of BMBC that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

3.2.5. Closing of Transfer Books. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of FKF of the shares of FKF Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of FKF Common Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of BMBC Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.2.

3.2.6. No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of BMBC Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender of Certificates for exchange, no dividend or distribution with respect to BMBC Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of BMBC. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, BMBC shall pay to each former shareholder of FKF who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the average of the daily closing sales prices of a share of BMBC Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of FKF Common Stock held by such holder at the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of BMBC Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1. For purposes of determining any fractional share interest, all shares of FKF Common Stock owned by an FKF shareholder shall be combined so as to calculate the maximum number of whole shares of BMBC Common Stock issuable to such FKF shareholder.

3.2.7. Return of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of FKF as of the first anniversary of the Effective Time may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be paid to BMBC. In such event, any former shareholders of FKF who have not theretofore complied with this Section 3.2 shall thereafter look

 

- 14 -


only to BMBC with respect to the Per Share Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the BMBC Common Stock deliverable in respect of each share of FKF Common Stock such shareholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of BMBC, FKF, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of FKF Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

3.2.8. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by BMBC or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as BMBC may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Per Share Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

3.2.9. Withholding Rights. BMBC or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of FKF Common Stock such amounts as BMBC (or any Affiliate thereof) or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by BMBC or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the FKF Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by BMBC or the Exchange Agent.

3.2.10. Treatment of FKF Options and Restricted Shares. FKF Disclosure Schedule 3.2.10 sets forth all of the outstanding FKF Options as of the date hereof, which schedule includes, for each option grant, the name of the individual grantee, the date of grant, the exercise price, the vesting schedule and the expiration date.

(A) At the Effective Time, all FKF Options which are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto shall, subject to the receipt of any necessary non-objection of the OTS or the FDIC, become fully vested and exercisable and be converted, in their entirety, automatically into fully vested and exercisable options to purchase shares of BMBC Common Stock (the “Continuing Options”) in an amount and at an exercise price determined as provided below (and otherwise subject to the terms of FKF Option Plans):

(i) The number of shares of BMBC Common Stock to be subject to the Continuing Options shall be equal to the product of the number of shares of FKF Common Stock subject to the FKF Options and the Option Exchange Ratio; provided that any fractional shares of BMBC Common Stock resulting from such multiplication shall be rounded down to the nearest share; and

 

- 15 -


(ii) The exercise price per share of BMBC Common Stock under the Continuing Options shall be equal to the exercise price per share of FKF Common Stock under the FKF Options divided by the Option Exchange Ratio; provided that such exercise price shall be rounded up to the nearest cent.

The adjustment provided herein with respect to each option, whether or not an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code), shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code. The duration and other terms of the Continuing Options shall be the same as the FKF Options, except that all references to FKF shall be deemed to be references to BMBC.

(B) At all times after the Effective Time, BMBC shall reserve for issuance such number of shares of BMBC Common Stock as necessary so as to permit the exercise of Continuing Options in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and in the instruments pursuant to which such options were granted.

(C) Promptly following the Effective Time, BMBC shall cause to be registered on Form S-3 or Form S-8, as applicable (or any successor or other appropriate form), the shares of BMBC Common Stock subject to Continuing Options and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained in the related registration statement for so long as any such Continuing Options remain outstanding in the case of a Form S-8, or, in the case of a Form S-3, until the shares subject to such Continuing Options may be sold without a further holding period under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

(D) Each outstanding award to receive a distribution of FKF Common Stock granted by FKF pursuant to the FKF RRP, which award is unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, subject to the receipt of any necessary non-objection from the OTS or the FDIC, vest and be free of any restrictions as of the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the FKF RRP and be exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.1.3. hereof.

3.2.11. Exercise of Continuing Options. Continuing Options may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the FKF Options in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable law and regulation.

3.2.12. Reservation of Shares. BMBC shall reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of the BMBC Common Stock for the purpose of issuing shares of BMBC Common Stock to the FKF shareholders in accordance with this Article III.

additional BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plan or to modify, change or renew any existing BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plan, except as required to maintain the qualified status thereof. BMBC has made available to FKF true and correct copies of the agreements or other documents establishing and evidencing the BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plans.

- 44 -


BMBC ERISA Affiliate, and any BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plan, including any BMBC Pension Plan or any such trust or any trustee or administrator thereof, could reasonably be expected to be subject to either a civil liability or penalty pursuant to Section 409, 502(i) or 502(l) of ERISA or a tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Code.

provision contained in this Agreement, neither BMBC nor any BMBC Subsidiary shall under any circumstance be permitted to exercise control of FKF or any FKF Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time.

6.2.3. FKB shall provide BMT, within fifteen (15) Business Days of the end of each calendar month, in a form mutually acceptable to the parties, a written report listing FKF Delinquencies for such month.

- 54 -


or business interests or confidences of any customer or other person or would result in the waiver by it of the privilege protecting communications between it and any of its counsel. FKF shall provide and shall request its auditors to provide BMBC with such historical financial information regarding it (and related audit reports and consents) as BMBC may reasonably request for securities disclosure purposes. BMBC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with FKF’s regular business operations during any such access to FKF’s property, books and records. FKF shall permit BMBC, at its expense, to cause a Phase I and any Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (“Phase II”) recommended therein to be performed at each owned FKF Real Property; provided, however, that BMBC shall only have the right to conduct a Phase II prior to the Closing Date only to the extent that a Phase II is within the scope of additional testing recommended by the Phase I to be performed as a result of a “Recognized Environmental Condition” (as such term is defined by The American Society for Testing Materials) that was discovered in the Phase I. Any such Phase I shall be commenced within 30 days after the date of this Agreement and any such Phase II, to the extent permitted by the provisions hereof to be conducted prior to Closing, recommended to be performed by any such Phase I shall be commenced within 30 days of the Phase I report recommending such Phase II. BMBC shall use its best efforts to cause any such Phase I conducted to be completed within 30 days of the date of commencement thereof, but in no event more than 45 days after the date of commencement thereof. In the event BMBC elects to commence any Phase II, to the extent permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.3 to be conducted prior to Closing, BMBC shall use its best efforts to have any such Phase II completed within 45 days of the commencement thereof, but in no event more than 60 days after the date of commencement thereof. BMBC and its environmental consultant shall conduct all environmental assessments pursuant to this Section at mutually agreeable times and so as to eliminate or minimize to the greatest extent possible interference with FKF’s operation of its business, and BMBC shall maintain or cause to be maintained reasonably adequate insurance with respect to any assessment conducted hereunder.

Within 25 days after the end of each month, FKF will deliver to BMBC a consolidated balance sheet and a consolidated statement of income, without related notes, for such month prepared in accordance with current financial reporting practices. Without limiting the foregoing, FKF agrees to provide BMBC with drafts of its Form 10-K for the year ending September 30, 2009 and any Forms 8-K and 10-Q a reasonable amount of time in advance of the earlier to occur of the issuance of such reports or the filing thereof with the SEC.

FKF and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause each of FKF 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.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, offer or proposal (other than an inquiry, offer or proposal from BMBC), whether or not in writing, contemplating, relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Transaction.

6.10.2. Notwithstanding Section 6.10.1, FKF may take any of the actions described in clause (b) of Section 6.10.1 if, but only if, (a) FKF has received a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 6.10; (b) the Board of Directors of FKF determines in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of its outside legal counsel and its independent financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; (c) FKF has provided BMBC with at least one (1) Business Day prior notice of such determination; and (d) prior to furnishing or affording access to any information or data with respect to FKF or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise

FKF shall promptly provide to BMBC any non-public information regarding FKF or its subsidiaries provided to any other Person that was not previously provided to BMBC, such additional information to be provided no later than the date of provision of such information to such other party.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) made by a third party to enter into an Acquisition Transaction on terms that the Board of Directors of FKF determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, (a) would, if consummated, result in the acquisition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding shares of FKF Common Stock or all, or substantially all, of the assets of FKF and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (b) would result in a transaction that (i) involves consideration to the holders of the shares of FKF Common Stock that is more favorable, from a financial point of view, than the Merger Consideration to be paid to FKF’s shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, considering, among other things, the nature of the consideration being offered and any regulatory approvals or other risks associated with the timing of the proposed transaction beyond or in addition to those specifically contemplated hereby, and which proposal is not conditioned upon obtaining additional financing and (ii) is, in light of the other terms of such proposal, more favorable to FKF’s shareholders than the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (c) is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed, in each case taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal.

6.10.3. FKF shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify BMBC 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, FKF or any FKF 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 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) unless (a) such materials constitute confidential information of the party making such offer or proposal under an effective confidentiality agreement, (b) disclosure of such materials jeopardizes the attorney-client privilege or (c) disclosure of such materials contravenes any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree. FKF agrees that it shall keep BMBC informed, on a 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).

6.10.4. Neither the Board of Directors of FKF nor any committee thereof shall (a) withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose to withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to BMBC in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger), the FKF Recommendation (as defined in Section 8.1), or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with the FKF Shareholders Meeting or otherwise, inconsistent with the FKF Recommendation (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to

 

- 58 -


an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification of the FKF Recommendation); (b) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; or (c) enter into (or cause FKF or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into) any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement (i) related to any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10.2) or (ii) requiring FKF to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

6.10.5. Notwithstanding Section 6.10.4, prior to the date of FKF Shareholders Meeting, the Board of Directors of FKF may approve or recommend to the shareholders of FKF a Superior Proposal and withdraw, qualify or modify the FKF Recommendation in connection therewith (a “FKF Subsequent Determination”) after the fifth (5th) Business Day following BMBC’s receipt of a notice (the “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from FKF advising BMBC that the Board of Directors of FKF has decided that a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that it received (that did not result from a breach of Section 6.10) constitutes a Superior Proposal (it being understood that FKF shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal in respect of any revised Superior Proposal from such third party or its affiliates that FKF proposes to accept and the subsequent notice period shall be three (3) Business Days) if, but only if, (a) the Board of Directors of FKF has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with and having considered the advice of outside legal counsel and a financial advisor, that the failure to take such actions would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to FKF’s shareholders under applicable law, and (b) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period or the three (3) Business Day period (as the case may be), after taking into account any such adjusted, modified or amended terms as may have been committed to in writing by BMBC since its receipt of such Notice of Superior Proposal (provided, however, that BMBC shall not have any obligation to propose any adjustments, modifications or amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), the Board of Directors of FKF has again in good faith made the determination (i) in clause (i) of this Section 6.10.5 and (ii) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the changing, qualifying or modifying of the FKF Recommendation or the making of a FKF Subsequent Determination by the Board of Directors of FKF shall not change the approval of the Board of Directors of FKF for purposes of causing any federal or state anti-takeover laws or regulations to be inapplicable to this Agreement and the FKF Voting Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Merger.

6.10.6. Nothing contained in Section 6.10 shall prohibit FKF or the Board of Directors of FKF from complying with FKF’s obligations required under Rules 14d-9 and 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 FKF Recommendation unless the Board of Directors of FKF reaffirms the FKF Recommendation in such disclosure.

6.11. Reserves and Merger-Related Costs.

FKF agrees to consult with BMBC with respect to its loan, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves). BMBC and FKF shall also consult with respect to the character, amount and timing of restructuring charges to be taken by each of them in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and

 

- 59 -


shall take such charges as BMBC shall reasonably request and which are not inconsistent with GAAP; provided that no such actions need be effected until BMBC shall have irrevocably certified to FKF that all conditions set forth in Article IX to the obligation of BMBC to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the delivery of certificates or opinions) have been satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived.

6.12. FKF/FKB Board of Directors and Committee Meetings.

FKF and FKB shall permit representatives of BMBC to attend any meeting of the Board of Directors of FKF and/or FKB or the Executive, Asset-Liability and Loan Committees thereof as an observer; provided that neither FKF nor FKB shall be required to permit the BMBC representative to remain present during any confidential discussion of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or any third party proposal to acquire control of FKF or FKB or during any other matter that the respective Board of Directors has reasonably determined to be confidential with respect to BMBC’s participation.

Prior to the Effective Time, each individual who is a director of FKF or FKB on the date of this Agreement and who will not be appointed to the board of directors of BMBC pursuant to Section 7.12, but will be invited to join the BMT Advisory Board pursuant to Section 7.13 hereof, shall have executed a non-solicitation agreement with a two (2) year term in a form acceptable to BMBC and BMT.

6.14. Anti-takeover Provisions.

FKF and its Subsidiaries shall take all steps required by any relevant federal or state law or regulation or under any relevant agreement or other document to exempt or continue to exempt BMBC, BMT, the Merger, the Bank Merger, the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby from any provisions of an anti-takeover nature contained in FKF’s or its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents, and the provisions of any applicable federal or state anti-takeover laws and regulations.

As soon as practicable after the date hereof, FKF shall file or cause to be filed all necessary documents with the IRS for a determination letter for termination of the ESOP as of the Effective Time, with a copy to be provided to BMBC and its counsel. In addition, as soon as practicable after the date hereof, FKF and the ESOP trustees shall enter into a written agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to BMBC, whereby (a) the shares of FKF Common Stock held in the ESOP suspense account shall be used to repay the applicable outstanding principal balance of the ESOP loan for which such shares serve as collateral plus the accrued interest on such outstanding ESOP loan, with any remaining outstanding balance of principal and accrued interest on each such ESOP loan that is not covered by the fair market value of the shares serving as collateral for such ESOP loan to be forgiven, and (b) the transactions

7.2. Current Information.

During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, BMBC will cause one or more of its representatives to confer with representatives of FKF and report the general status of its financial condition, operations and business and matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, at such times as FKF may reasonably request. BMBC will promptly notify FKF, to the extent permitted by applicable law, of any governmental complaints, investigations or hearings (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated), which might adversely affect the ability of the parties to obtain the Regulatory Approvals or increase the period of time necessary to obtain such approvals; or the institution of material litigation involving BMBC and any BMBC Subsidiary. BMBC shall be reasonably responsive to requests by FKF for access to such information and personnel regarding BMBC and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably necessary for FKF to confirm that the representations and warranties of BMBC contained herein are true and correct and that the covenants of BMBC contained herein have been performed in all material respects; provided, however, that BMBC shall not be required to take any action that would provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure, in BMBC’s reasonable judgment, would interfere with the normal conduct of BMBC’s business or would violate or prejudice the rights or business interests or confidences of any customer or other person or would result in the waiver by it of the privilege protecting communications between it and any of its counsel.

7.4. Disclosure Supplements.

From time to time prior to the Effective Time as necessary, BMBC will promptly supplement or amend the BMBC Disclosure Schedule delivered in connection herewith with respect to any material 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 such BMBC Disclosure Schedule or which is necessary to correct any information in such BMBC Disclosure Schedule which has been rendered inaccurate thereby. No supplement or amendment to such BMBC Disclosure Schedule shall have any effect for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IX.

Prior to the Effective Time, BMBC shall take all reasonable action so that employees of FKF and its Subsidiaries who become employees of BMBC or a BMBC Subsidiary (“Continuing Employees”) shall be entitled to participate, effective as soon as administratively practicable following the Effective Time, in each of the BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plans to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of BMBC and its Subsidiaries (it being understood that inclusion of the employees of FKF and its Subsidiaries in the BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans and that any grants to any Continuing Employee under any BMBC Stock Plan shall be at the discretion of BMBC). Notwithstanding the foregoing, BMBC may determine to continue any of the employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements of FKF or any its Subsidiaries for Continuing Employees in lieu of offering participation in the BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plans providing similar benefits (e.g., medical and hospitalization benefits), to terminate any of such benefit plans, or to merge any such benefit plans with the corresponding BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plans, provided the result is the provision of benefits to Continuing Employees that are substantially similar to the benefits provided to the employees of BMBC and its Subsidiaries generally. BMBC shall cause each BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plan in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate to recognize, for purposes of determining

 

- 63 -


eligibility to participate in, the vesting of benefits and for all other purposes (but not for the accrual of benefits, except as specifically set forth herein) under the BMBC Compensation and Benefit Plans the service of such Continuing Employees with FKF and its Subsidiaries or any predecessor thereto prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that credit for benefit accrual purposes shall be given for purposes of BMBC vacation and other leave policies or programs and for purposes of the calculation of severance benefits under any severance compensation plan or practice of BMBC and its Subsidiaries as set forth in BMBC Disclosure Schedule 7.8.3. This Agreement shall not be construed to limit the ability of BMBC or BMT to terminate the employment of any employee or to review employee benefits programs from time to time and to make such changes (including terminating any program) as they deem appropriate.

7.8.2. BMBC shall honor the terms of all FKF Compensation and Benefit Plans set forth on FKF Disclosure Schedule 4.12.1.

7.8.3. Except as set forth in BMBC Disclosure Schedule 7.8.5, any employee of FKF or any FKF Subsidiary who is not a party to an employment, consulting, change in control or severance agreement or contract providing severance payments and whose employment is terminated on or after the date hereof and at or before the Effective Time or within twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, shall receive severance benefits in an amount equal to two weeks of salary for each year of service, subject to a maximum of 26 weeks of severance. Any employees of FKF or any FKF Subsidiary who continue employment with BMBC or a BMBC Subsidiary for more than twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall, upon any subsequent termination of employment, be covered by and eligible to receive severance benefits under BMBC’s severance practice, if any, as set forth in BMBC Disclosure Schedule 7.8.3.

7.8.4. In the event of any termination of any medical, dental, health or disability plan (collectively, “health plans”) of FKF and its Subsidiaries or the consolidation of any such health plans with a corresponding health plan of BMBC and its Subsidiaries, BMBC shall make available to Continuing Employees and their dependents employer-provided coverage under the corresponding health plans of BMBC and its Subsidiaries on the same basis as it provides coverage to employees of BMBC and its Subsidiaries, provided that BMBC shall cause each such plan to (a) waive any pre-existing condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the applicable health plans of FKF and its Subsidiaries, (b) honor under such plans any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the employees and their dependents under the health plans of FKF and its Subsidiaries during the portion of the plan year prior to participation in the corresponding health plan of BMBC and its Subsidiaries, and (c) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement which would otherwise be applicable to the Continuing Employees and their dependents on or after the Effective Time, in each case to the extent such employee or dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous health plan of FKF or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time. Unless a Continuing Employee affirmatively terminates coverage under a health plan of FKF and its Subsidiaries prior to the time that such Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate in the corrsponding health plan of BMBC and its Subsidiaries, no coverage of any of the Continuing Employees or their dependents shall terminate under any health plan of FKF and its Subsidiaries prior to the time such Continuing Employees and their dependents become eligible to participate in the health plans, programs and benefits common to all employees of BMBC and its Subsidiaries and their dependents. In the event of a termination or consolidation of any health

 

- 64 -


plan of FKF and its Subsidiaries, terminated employees of FKF and its Subsidiaries and qualified beneficiaries will have the right to continued coverage under group health plans of BMBC and its Subsidiaries in accordance with COBRA.

7.8.5. BMBC and FKF agree that retention bonuses will be paid at the Effective Time to each of the officers and employees set forth in FKF Disclosure Schedule 7.8.5 in the amounts set forth therein if the respective officers or employees remain employed by FKF or its Subsidiaries until the Effective Time.

7.9. Directors and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.

7.9.1. After the Effective Time, BMBC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or who has been at any time before the date hereof or who becomes before the Effective Time, an officer or director of FKF or an FKF Subsidiary (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including attorney’s fees), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement (which settlement shall require the prior written consent of BMBC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of or in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, or administrative (each a “Claim”), in which an Indemnified Party is, or is threatened to be made, a party or witness in whole or in part or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of FKF or an FKF Subsidiary if such Claim pertains to any matter of fact arising, existing or occurring at or before the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), regardless of whether such Claim is asserted or claimed before, or after, the Effective Time, to the fullest extent as would have been permitted by FKF under the PBCL and under FKF’s articles of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent governing documents of any FKF Subsidiary, as applicable, in each case as in effect on the date hereof. BMBC shall pay expenses in advance of the final disposition of any such action or proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent as would have been permitted by FKF under the PBCL and under FKF’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such advance payments if such Indemnified Party shall be adjudicated or determined to be not entitled to indemnification in the manner set forth below. Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.9.1 upon learning of any Claim, shall notify BMBC (but the failure so to notify BMBC shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7.9.1, except to the extent such failure prejudices BMBC) and shall deliver to BMBC the undertaking referred to in the previous sentence. Without limiting the foregoing, in any case in which approval by BMBC, one of its Subsidiaries or the board of directors thereof is required to effect any indemnification, at the election of the Indemnified Party, the determination of any such approval shall be made by a majority of the independent directors then in office or, if no such directors are then in office, by independent counsel mutually agreed upon between BMBC and the Indemnified Party.

7.9.2. In the event that either BMBC or any of its successors or assigns (a) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving bank or entity of such consolidation or merger or (b) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of BMBC shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.9.

 

- 65 -


7.9.3. BMBC shall maintain, or shall cause BMT to maintain, in effect for three (3) years following the Effective Time, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies covering the officers and directors of FKF (provided, that BMBC may substitute therefore policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are not materially less favorable) with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall BMBC be required to expend per year pursuant to this Section 7.9.3 more than one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the annual cost currently expended by FKF with respect to such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”); provided, further, that if the amount of the annual premium necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, BMBC shall maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for a premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In connection with the foregoing, FKF agrees in order for BMBC to fulfill its agreement to provide directors and officers liability insurance policies for three (3) years to provide such insurer or substitute insurer with such reasonable and customary representations as such insurer may request with respect to the reporting of any prior claims.

7.9.4. The obligations of BMBC provided under this Section 7.9 are intended to be enforceable against BMBC directly by the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and representatives and shall be binding on all respective successors and permitted assigns of BMBC.

7.10. Stock Listing.

BMBC agrees to list on the Nasdaq (or such other national securities exchange on which the shares of the BMBC Common Stock shall be listed as of the date of consummation of the Merger), subject to official notice of issuance, the shares of BMBC Common Stock to be issued in the Merger.

7.11. Stock and Cash Reserve.

BMBC agrees at all times from the date of this Agreement until the Merger Consideration has been paid in full to reserve a sufficient number of shares of its common stock and to maintain sufficient liquid accounts or borrowing capacity to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

7.12. BMBC/BMT Board of Directors.

Following the date of this Agreement, BMBC and BMT shall take all action necessary to (a) cause each of their boards of directors to be increased by one member, effective immediately following the Effective Time, and (b) elect Mr. Donald S. Guthrie as a director of each of BMBC and BMT in the class of directors whose terms expire at the 2011 annual meeting of shareholders of BMBC. At the end of his initial term, Mr. Donald S. Guthrie shall be re-nominated for an additional four-year term, subject to the fiduciary duties of the board of directors and any applicable eligibility requirements set forth in BMBC’s articles of incorporation or bylaws. In the event that Mr. Donald S. Guthrie is unable or unwilling to serve as a director of BMBC and BMT pursuant to the terms hereof, the board of directors of FKF (or the members of the Advisory Board after consummation of the Merger) shall substitute another member of the board of directors of FKF or FKB (or the Advisory Board if this occurs after the Merger), who shall be reasonably acceptable to BMBC, to serve as a member of the BMBC and BMT boards of directors in accordance herewith.
