SECTION 3.17 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) The Company has disclosed in Section 3.17 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and has delivered or made available to Parent and CBM prior to the execution of this Agreement, copies in each case of: (i) all pension, retirement, profit-sharing, deferred compensation, stock option, employee stock ownership, severance pay, vacation, bonus, or other incentive plan, all other written employee programs, arrangements, or agreements, all medical, vision, dental, or other health plans, all life insurance plans, and all other employee benefit plans or fringe benefit plans, including, without limitation, “employee benefit plans” (as that term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA), currently adopted, maintained by, sponsored in whole or in part by, or contributed to by the Bank or ERISA Affiliate (as defined below) thereof for the benefit of employees, retirees, dependents, spouses, directors, independent contractors, or other beneficiaries and under which employees, retirees, dependents, spouses, directors, independent contractors, or other beneficiaries are eligible to participate (collectively, the “Bank Benefit Plans”); (ii) all insurance contracts, annuity contracts and other funding vehicles relating to the Bank Benefit Plans; (iii) all material agreements entered into with service providers in connection with the Bank Benefit Plans; and (iv) summary plan descriptions, favorable Internal Revenue Service determination letters for each Bank ERISA Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and the most recently available Form 5500 annual reports, certified financial statement and actuarial reports for the Bank Benefit Plans. Any of the Bank Benefit Plans which is an “employee pension benefit plan” (as that term is defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), is referred to herein as a “Bank ERISA Plan.” Each Bank ERISA Plan which is also a “defined benefit plan” (as defined in Section 414(j) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 3(35) of ERISA) is referred to herein as a “Bank Pension Plan.” No Bank Pension Plan is or has been a multiemployer plan within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA. No Bank Benefit Plan is a multiple employer plan within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Internal Revenue Code or is a multiple employer welfare arrangement within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA. Since the date the foregoing documents were delivered or made available to Parent, no amendments to any Bank Benefit Plan have been made. Except as disclosed in Section 3.17 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Bank does not maintain any unwritten Bank Benefit Plans. Neither the Bank nor any ERISA Affiliate is a party to a collective bargaining agreement. The Bank has disclosed in Section 3.17 of the Company Disclosure Schedule a complete and accurate list of (A) each ERISA Affiliate, and (B) each Bank ERISA Plan that has not been adopted by each ERISA Affiliate that maintains a separate payroll.

(b) Except as disclosed in Section 3.17 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, all Bank Benefit Plans are in compliance with the applicable terms of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, COBRA (as defined below) and any other applicable Laws, and each Bank ERISA Plan which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter (which may be a favorable determination issued to the sponsoring organization of a master, prototype or volume submitter plan) from the Internal Revenue Service, and the Bank is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in revocation of any such favorable determination letter. Except as disclosed in Section 3.17, neither the Bank nor any ERISA Affiliate has any liability to the Internal Revenue Service with respect to any Bank Benefit Plan, including any liability imposed by Chapter 43 of the Internal Revenue Code, and the Bank has not engaged in a transaction with respect to any Bank Benefit Plan that, assuming the taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date hereof, would subject the Bank to a Tax imposed by either Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA.

-13-

(c) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.17 of the Company Disclosure Section, no Bank Pension Plan has any “unfunded current liability” (as that term is defined in Section 302(d)(8)(A) of ERISA) and the fair market value of the assets of any such plan exceeds the plan’s “benefit liabilities,” as that term is defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA, when determined under actuarial factors that would apply if the plan terminated in accordance with all applicable legal requirements. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.17, since the date of the most recent actuarial valuation, there has been (i) no material change in the financial position of any Bank Pension Plan, (ii) no change in the actuarial assumptions with respect to any Bank Pension Plan, and (iii) no increase in benefits under any Bank Pension Plan as a result of plan amendments or changes in applicable Law. Neither any Bank Pension Plan nor any “single-employer plan,” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA, currently or formerly maintained by the Bank, or the single-employer plan of any entity which is considered one employer with the Bank under Section 4001 of ERISA or Section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA (whether or not waived) (an “ERISA Affiliate”) has an “accumulated funding deficiency” within the meaning of Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA. The Bank has not provided, or is not required to provide, security to any Bank Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(d) Within the six-year period preceding the Closing Date, no liability under Subtitle C or D of Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by the Bank with respect to any ongoing, frozen, or terminated single-employer plan or the single-employer plan of any ERISA Affiliate. The Bank has not incurred any withdrawal liability with respect to a multiemployer plan under Subtitle B of Title IV of ERISA (regardless of whether based on contributions of an ERISA Affiliate). No notice of a “reportable event,” within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the 30-day reporting requirement has not been waived, has been required to be filed for any Bank Pension Plan or by any ERISA Affiliate within the 12-month period ending on the date hereof. Neither the Bank nor any ERISA Affiliate has filed a notice of intent to terminate any ERISA Pension Plan or has adopted any amendment to treat such Plan as terminated. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has not instituted proceedings to treat any ERISA Pension Plan as terminated. No event has occurred or circumstance exists that may constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA for the termination of, or appointment of a trustee to administer, any Bank Pension Plan.

(e) Except as disclosed in Section 3.17 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Bank has no liability for retiree health and life benefits under any of the Bank Benefit Plans other than health continuation coverage required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 as amended and Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA (“COBRA”) or by any similar state Law, and there are no restrictions on the rights of the Bank to amend or terminate any such plan without incurring any liability thereunder. There is no pending or threatened complaint, claim (other than a routine claim for benefits submitted by participants or beneficiaries), proceeding, audit or investigation of any kind in or before any court, tribunal, or governmental agency with respect to any Bank Benefit Plan.

-14-

(f) Except as disclosed in Section 3.17 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) result in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, or otherwise) becoming due to any director or any employee of the Bank under any Bank Benefit Plan or otherwise, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Bank Benefit Plan, or (iii) result in any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefit.

(g) The actuarial present values of all accrued deferred compensation entitlements (including entitlements under any executive compensation, supplemental retirement, or employment agreement) of employees and former employees of the Bank and their beneficiaries, other than entitlements accrued pursuant to funded retirement plans subject to the provisions of Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA, have been fully reflected on the Bank Financial Statements to the extent required by and in accordance with GAAP.

(h) Except as disclosed in Section 3.17 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, all contributions and payments made or accrued with respect to all Bank Benefit Plans are deductible under Sections 404 or 162 of the Internal Revenue Code and, if not made, are properly reflected on the financial statements of the Bank and ERISA Affiliates. No event has occurred or circumstance exists that could result in an increase in premium costs of insured or self-insured Bank Benefit Plans that would have a Bank Material Adverse Effect. Levels of insurance reserves, trust funding and accrued liabilities with respect to all ERISA Benefit Plans (to which such reserves or liabilities do or should apply) are reasonable and sufficient to provide for all incurred but unreported claims and any retroactive or prospective premium adjustments.

SECTION 3.18 Agreements and Acquisition with Related Parties. Except as described in Section 3.18 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Bank nor FCLS is, or since January 1, 2009 has been, a party to any Contract, agreement, lease or transaction with, or any other commitment to, (i) any person who is known to the Company to be the Beneficial Owner of five percent (5%) or more of any class of the capital stock of the Company (each a “Major Shareholder”); (ii) any officer or director of the Company, the Bank or FCLS; (iii) any Affiliate of any officer or director of the Company, the Bank, FCLS or any anyone known by the Company to be an Affiliate of a Major Shareholder; or (iv) anyone known by the Company to be a member of the Family of any of the foregoing who is an individual (any or all of the foregoing being herein referred to as “Related Parties”).

SECTION 3.25 Opinion of Financial Advisor. The Company Board has received, and has provided Parent with a true and correct copy of, the written opinion of Sandler O’Neill, the Board of Directors’ financial advisor, to the effect that, as of such date, the Acquisition Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.

Without limiting the foregoing, any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of the Company or the Bank (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by the Company or the Bank) shall be a breach of this Section 4.2(a) by the Company and the Bank. The Company and the Bank shall promptly inform their advisors and representatives of the obligations of the Company and the Bank under this Section 4.2(a). The Company and the Bank agree that they will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (except with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(b) The Company and the Bank shall notify Parent promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) upon receipt after the date hereof by either of them or their representatives from any third party of any Acquisition Proposal. The Company and the Bank shall notify Parent promptly (and in any event within two business days) of the identity of such third party and provide a copy of such Acquisition Proposal, indication, inquiry or request (or, where no such copy is available, a description of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, indication, inquiry or request), including any material modifications thereto. The Company and the Bank shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis (and in any event within five business days of the occurrence of any changes, developments, discussions or negotiations) of the status of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication, inquiry or request (including the material terms and conditions thereof and of any modification thereto), including furnishing copies of any written revised proposals. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within five business days) notify Parent orally and in writing if it determines to begin negotiations concerning a Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 4.2(c). The Company and the Bank shall not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement, and neither the Company nor the Bank is party to any agreement, which prohibits the Company and the Bank from providing such information to Parent.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a), nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from, prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of Company Common Stock, engaging in any discussions or negotiations with, or providing any non-public information to, any Person, if and only to the extent that (i) the Company receives from such Person a bona fide written Superior Proposal, or an Acquisition Proposal, which was not solicited by the Company and did not otherwise violate the provisions of Section 4.2(a), and which the Company Board concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors) could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to act on the Superior Proposal or Acquisition Proposal, as the case may be, could be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Laws, (ii) prior to providing or disclosing any non-public information to any Person in connection with such proposal, the Company Board receives from the Person making such Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms no less restrictive on such Person than the terms contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, provided that such confidentiality agreement shall not be required to contain standstill provisions and shall not contain any provisions that would prevent the Company from complying with its obligation to provide the required disclosure to Parent pursuant to this Section 4.2, and (iii) the Company concurrently discloses any such non-public information to Parent if such non-public information has not been disclosed previously to Parent.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Approval, in response to a material development or change in circumstances which occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement (an “Intervening Event”), that was not known by the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement, the Company Board may, if it concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal advisors) that failure to do so could be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Laws, withdraw, modify or change its recommendation of this Agreement and the Acquisition (a “Company Change of Recommendation”), but only at a time that is after the fifth business day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent of its intention to do so; provided that, if such action is in response to or relates to an Acquisition Proposal, then the Company Change of Recommendation shall be taken only in compliance with Section 4.2(e).

-21-

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in response to an Acquisition Proposal which was not solicited by the Company or otherwise in violation of Section 4.2(a), if the Company Board concludes in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (after consultation with its legal advisors) that failure to do so could be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Laws, the Company Board may at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Approval (i) effect a Company Change of Recommendation or (ii) terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company Board may not effect such Company Change of Recommendation or termination unless and until (i) five business days have elapsed following delivery to Parent of a written notice of such determination by the Company Board and of the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal and the identity of the Person making the Acquisition Proposal, and, during such five business day period, the Company reasonably cooperates with Parent and CBM with respect thereto with the intent of enabling Parent and CBM to agree to a modification of the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected and so that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer represent a Superior Proposal, including negotiating in good faith with Parent and its representatives with respect to any proposed revisions to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) at the end of such five business day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that (A) in the case of a Company Change of Recommendation, failure to take such action could be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Laws and (B) in the case of a termination of this Agreement, that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal as compared to the Acquisition, as supplemented by any counterproposals made by Parent; provided that, in the event the Company Board does not make the determination referred to in this clause (ii) of this paragraph but thereafter determines to effect a Company Change of Recommendation or termination pursuant to this Section 4.2(e), the foregoing procedures shall apply anew and shall also apply to any subsequent withdrawal, amendment or modification, and (iii) contemporaneously with such termination, the Company enters into a definitive acquisition, merger or similar agreement to effect the Superior Proposal.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 or 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if the Company Board (after consultation with its legal advisors), concludes that its failure to do so could be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; it being understood that any such disclosure that does not reaffirm the Company Board’s recommendation of this Agreement and the Acquisition (and recommend that the Company’s shareholders reject the applicable tender offer or exchange offer within the ten day period specified by Rule 14d-9) or which is otherwise adverse to Parent and CBM shall be deemed a Company Change of Recommendation for purposes of this Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms (including a termination pursuant to Section 4.2(e)), the Company shall comply with its obligations under Section 5.2 whether or not the Company Board makes a Company Change of Recommendation or recommends any other offer or proposal. Any action pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 4.2(d),(e) or (f) shall not constitute a breach of the Company’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

Any claim for indemnification with respect to any of such matters which is not asserted by notice in the manner required by this Article VIII within such specified period of survival may not be pursued and is hereby irrevocably waived after such time.

-31-

SECTION 8.2 Indemnification.

(a) After the Closing, the Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify the Parent and CBM and each of their agents and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), and hold them harmless against any loss, liability, deficiency, fine, penalty damage or expense (including reasonable legal expenses and costs and including interest and penalties) (a “Loss”) which the Indemnitees may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with any breach by the Company or the Bank of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or any certificates executed or delivered in connection with the Closing of the Acquisition.

(b) After the Closing, the Parent and CBM (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify the Company and each of its agents and representatives, as the case may be (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), and hold them harmless against any Loss which any of them may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of or in connection with any breach by Parent or CBM of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or any certificates executed or delivered in connection with the Closing of the Acquisition.

(c) Each Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing within thirty (30) days following the discovery by such Indemnitee of any matter giving rise to an indemnification obligation of the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 8.2 and shall indicate in such notification whether such Indemnitee is requesting indemnification with respect to such matter and the amount of indemnification initially anticipated (if the same is capable of estimation). The failure to give notice as required by this Section 8.2(c) in a timely fashion shall not result in a waiver of any right to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced as a result of such delay. In case any such action is brought against an Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in such Indemnitee’s reasonable judgment upon the advice of its counsel a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee actually exists in respect of such Loss, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, and after its assumption of the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

instruments and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable under applicable law to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Specific Performance

Each Stockholder agrees that the Parent and CBM would be irreparably damaged if for any reason the Stockholder fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, and that the Parent and CBM would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in such event. Accordingly, the Parent and CBM shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce the performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder. This provision is without prejudice to any other rights that the Parent and CBM may have against the Stockholder for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Notices

All notices to be given pursuant hereto shall be given in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Acquisition Agreement, with the address for the Stockholder as set forth on the signature page hereof.

Section 2.4 Definitions and Interpretation

Capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Acquisition Agreement. Section 8.5 of the Acquisition Agreement shall govern the interpretation hereof.

Section 2.5 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement.

Section 2.6 Binding Effect and Assignment

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be assignable by either party hereto without the written consent of the other party hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any rights, benefits or obligations hereunder. No person other than the parties hereto is an intended beneficiary of this Agreement or any portion hereof.

Section 2.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the provisions of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally confirms and agrees that it is and shall continue to be (i) subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Florida and of the federal courts sitting in the State of

Florida, and (ii) subject to service of process in the State of Florida. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in the Miami-Dade County, Florida (the “Florida Courts”), for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), (b) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Florida Courts and agrees not to plead or claim in any Florida Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum and (c) acknowledges and agrees that any controversy that may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right such party may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 2.8 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties, and there are no other agreements between the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof except as set forth specifically herein or contemplated hereby. No supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. The failure of a party to exercise any right or remedy shall not be deemed or constitute a waiver of such right or remedy in the future. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (regardless of whether similar), nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

Section 2.9 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 but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision with a valid provision the effects of which come as close as possible to those of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

Section 2.10 Attorneys’ Fees

If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and necessary disbursements, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.

Section 2.11 Stockholder Capacity

Each Stockholder signs solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as the record holder or beneficial owner of the Subject Shares and nothing in this Agreement shall limit or affect any

actions taken by the Stockholder in the Stockholder’s capacity as an officer or director of the Company.

Section 2.12 Several Obligations

The obligations of each Stockholder under this Agreement are several and not joint, and no Stockholder shall have any liability for any violation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by any other Stockholders.

Section 2.13 Termination

This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the first to occur of (i) the termination of the Acquisition Agreement in accordance with its terms, or (ii) the Effective Time (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement).
